The marriage of Edward William and
Mies Alice Graham took place at Hood
River this morning. The bride ie well
known tn tier Dome town ana nigniy
esteemed by ber friends and acquaint
ance!, while the groom is one of the
leading business men of Hood River, be
lig a business partner with Dr. Brosius
n the drag business.
A large number of fruit packers are
busily engaged in the VYilkieon ware
bouse today, which is the headquarters
for the Stadelman Commission Co., in
packing a carload of Italian prunes for
shipment to Cincinnati. Ibis evening
EJ. Kurtz will also (tart a carload of
prunes East.
Charles Shurte and John Cunning
ham, of Arlington, who have been on a
horee buying expedition into the inter
ior, inform the Foesil Journal that they
purchased about oUU neaa ot range
horses in Grant and Wheeler counties,
be delivered at Ileppner the last of
August, and thence shipped to Iowa,
An iron foundry with machine shops
in connection will be placed in operation
La Grande the coming Fall. The
names of the persons who are- interested
in the enterprise are not known, but
David Heidenricb, a contractor, states
that he has leased for a term of years for
foumlary purposes a brick building,
36x50 feet, and one story in height, to be
constructed at once. The building will
fiont on Jederson avenue, between Fir
street aud the McLain implement ware
house. Leo Schanno, Will Fredden and Fred
Weigel returned today from a pleasant
camping trip to Collins Landing. They
all had a "good time" butare conserva
tive when It comes to giving a history of
the trip, and we are inclined to think
(hat they hunted and fished considerable
for game and speckled beauties that
are usrally found at Collins, only during
the can ping season. Tbey have evident
ly been very busy as they did not have
time to put their beads together long
enough to compose a good fish story.
At the least estimate 300,000 pounds
of wool was looked at by the buyers at
the warehouses today, but not a single
pound changed hands. Tbsre was fully
acent difference in the prices at which
wool is buying and at which the grow
ers hold their clips. The best that
could be offered for ordinary wool was
from 13,'i to 13 cents per pound, and
as the growers are not saiisnea witn
these oilers, it is more than likely no
sales will be made in the near future if
there is not an advance on the present
prices.
lien Foreman, Ed. Wing and John
Confer, of Wapinitia, brought in 46 bead
of beef cattle yesterday. Mr. Foreman
bad eleven head that weighed on an
average of 1240 pounds eacb, while the re
mainder of the band average 1120 pounds.
Mr. Foreman's cattle are the heaviest
that we have ever heard of coming to
The Dalies, while the remainder of the
band does not go far behind. It is a ca
lamity that an abundance of water has
not long ago been brought into Juniper
Flat with ditchee, as it is one of the
best stock countries in Eastern Oregon
as well as a good section for grain.
The paleontological expedition of the
University of California has completed
its survey of the fossil fields of the John
Day country. The head of the expedi
tion, Prof. Joseph C. Merriam, says of
the trip; "We found the fossil remains
of a tapir, an animal whose presence-in
the Oregon basin in ancient times was
never before suspected. Among our
finds were the bones of a rhinoceros, a
peccary, an extinct species of horse, an
mind cat and many other animals the
modern relatives of which are today
found only in tropical countries. We
f'lllnd also thn fnaail remain of a masto.
don."
Yet-terday Mr. W. D. Richards, of
Fairfield district, received a letter in
1'lie Dulles postoffice dated April, 185)7,
which has lain in said postoffice
ever since that time. It happened to
he a statement of account from one ol
the leading business houses. Not notic
ing tl.n date, and as the bill was long
"nee paid, he proceeded to cull down
Hie book-keeper in anything but com-Pliim-ntiiry
terms. The book keeper
nniiiej the letter and found that it
dated three years back and that it
hd taken it that long to escape from
lle lUlles postofllce. Inquiry at the
fhV: brought forth the explanation that
five letters had been discovered In some
cr k In which they bad fallen and re
"mined ever since, until discovered by
mere accident.
A complaint was Bled in the circuit
f,,l'rt yesterday against Wdi'o county by
Moore A Gavin, attorneys for the minor
eir" ' Mrs. Theresa Reese, who was
I . . I t 1 ? 1 . v.
15-Mile creek on Dec. 23, 1898. Mrs.
Reese was in the wagon with Mr.Gardner
ia whose case, agaiust Wasco county, the
decision of the circuit court, was recent
ly reversed by the supreme court. The
road was in a dangerous condition and
the wagon went off the grade and turned
over, severely Injuring Mr.Gardner, and
instantly killing Mrs. Reese. The
amount ot damages claimed against the
county is $5000, and the case will prob
ably be held the next term ot the circuit
court.
The indications at present are that the
Oregon State Fair Association will have
one of the biggest and best meeting this
fall, ever held in tbe etate. The grounds
and buildings will be in splendid shape,
and as there will be $20,000.00 distributed
ia premiums and purses, there will, un
doubtedly, be one of the finest displays
of Oregon products, and one of the best
race meetings in the history ot the fair.
It will last for six days, from (September
17th to 22ad inst, and there will be an
abundance of music, horse-racing and
other amusements, so tLit no visitor
can find it dull during the timi. Re
duced passenger rates ill be given on
all the railroads and an enormous crowd
will undoubtedly attend.
Thursday' Daily
Miss Minnie tlton has been added to
the list of teachers in tbe Dalles schools.
Miss Elton is a competent young wo
man, with considerable experience as a
teacher, and will certainly give entire
satisfaction. "
W. E. Garret son, refractiouist, of The
Dalles, has decided to locate in Pendle
ton and will have hid office in the new
brick block on Court street, next door
west of E. M. Lyons & Co.'s St. Joe
store. Mr. Garretson is a graduate of
tbe South Bend College of Optics, Indi
ana, and will give the people of Pendle
ton and this entire section the benefit
of his skill and knowledge. East Ore
gonian. By far the heaviest wool buyer in The
Dalles this month has been J. M. Rus
sell, of the scouring mill. No less than
750,000 pounds of wool has been pur
chased by him during tbe past two
weeks, and it is more than likely that
he will be able to keep his promise
about running tbe mill nine months out
of the twelve. Four clips were exam
ined today at the warehouses, but no
sales mado.
Tbe work of removing the
steamer
Billings from ber dangerous position on
tbe rocks, near Quinns station, still con
tinues, and although it will be impossible
to push the boat off until tbe water falls
about six inches more, the owners have
no doubt that it will be saved without
difficulty. Much of the machinery will
have to be removed to lighten it, but at
tbe proper time it will glide into the
water as smoothly as it did when first
launched.
A few days ago tbe agent for the Even
in? Telegram noticed that there were
certain news agents on tbe train, and
one in particular, who always got off
when the train pulled in and sold papers
to people who would otherwise have
bought them from the Dalles agent,
who has exclusive right to sell Tele
grams here. A letter was rectived by
tbe agent last evening from Mr. Owen,
manager of tbo Portland Tulegram,
to his complaint, stating that in answer
he would be protected in this matter
The news agents and train crews will
allow no one to sell anything on a train,
and, on the other hand, they should
keep from infringing on others rights.
Tbe reporter's attention was called
today to the improvements being made
by T. J. Lynch In his barber shop op
Dosite Mavs & Crowe's store. The en
tire shop Is re-papered and looks ex
tremely swell ; bis chairs are re-modeled
and as comfortable as a customer could
desire. His bath tubs are the finest
In the city, while the rooms are fur
nlshed with everything desired, even
the finest .Persian flush brushes and
solendid shower bath appliances, so
that everything desired can be had.
Mr. Lynch and son are both first-class
tonsorial artists, and in the splendid es
tablishment they occupy will do a rush
ing business.
The rush to the Willamette valley
hopfields is beginning, and in ashort time
every train and boat up tho valley from
Portland will be loaded with people go
ing with the Intention of combining
business and pleasure. The hop picking
season furnishes a snlendid chance to
take a summer outing, and at the same
time make expenses and save some
money, so many city folks go every fall
with their families. It is estimated that
there will be a call for some 20,000
pickers, and at the rata of 3" cents ptr
box they can easily average f 1.25 per
day, so that there is some profit and
much pleasure and noveltv for Portland
ers to spend a couple of.eeks in the
hop fluids.
The preliminary examination of George
Hlgenbotham, the man who shot David
K. Jankin, about a week ago, near Moro,
was held yesterday. There were about
eighteen witnesses to the shooting as it
took place in the presence of a threshing
crew, but the only witnesses called was
the doctor, who attended the wounded
mm, and two or three of those presmt.
Higenbothain was bound over to await
I he action ot the grand jury under
(13000 bonds. According to latest reports,
Junkins was ntuch better and may re
cover although his Injury is very danger
iu.huut iLiea on me nice grade on
ous. The attorneys who conducted the
examination, Frank Menefee for the
prosecution and A. 8. Bennett and 11.
S. Wilson for the defendant, returned
home on the noon train today.
There ate continually rumors floating
around about persons violating the
game laws by killing prairie chickens
and calling the same grouse, and it
would be advitable for tbe guilty parties
to be a little careful, as there are people
throughout the country who are watch
ing for so-called sports who have no
more interest in game propagation than
to violate' the state laws for protecting
the chickens and keeping them from be'
ing exterminated, fio sportsman, or
law-abiding citizen, will kill game out
of season, and it is to be hoped tbe of
fenders will be brought to justice, if not
by game wardens, by tbe law-abiding
farmers on whose places unprincipled
"sports' attempt to bunt.
The funeral of the late Robert J.
Marsh, who died at tbe Good Samaritan
hospital in Portland Monday night, took
place yesterday afternoon for his late
home at 449Etst Ash street in that city.
There was a large attendance of the rel
atives and friends of the deceased.
Many prominent citizens were present.
A large delegation from Fidelity Lodge,
No. 4, A. O. U. W., marched from the
lodge to the bouse in regalia. There
was a great profusion of flowers, and
some of the floral pieces were very elab
orate. At tbe honse a brief service was
conducted by Miss Aldrich. At the
conclusion of the eerviefs at the house,
the remains were conveyed to Riverview
cemetery. Hare the members of Fidel
ity lode conducted the final burial ser
vice. This morning Marshal Driver met a
peculiar character on the railroad track,
near the D. P. & A. N. office. He was
badly deformed, as his knee joints were
turned the opposite way, like tho hind
legs of an animal, while it was hard to
guess what he had in the shape of feet,
as his pedal extremities were inclosed in
rags. His face was so covered with dirt
that nothing in the way of features could
be seen, but a cunning pair of eyes
shining through the dirt, told plainly
that he was not as badly crippled
mentally as physically. He stated that
be had walked and beaten his way on
trains all the way from Maine and was
bound for Portland. The marshal con
cluded that there was no call for vags or
beggars in The Dalles, and loaded the
fellow on the boat and sent him on his
way rejoicing.
Portland's free museum is daily being
enriched by new curios, and Colonel
Hawkins feels confident that be will
have a star attraction during the street
fair. These articles were received yes
terday: Large petrified shell, from
Rock creek. Southern Oregon, presented
by F. A. Elliott; diamond drill core,
tbree and one-half feet long, from the
Tiger-Poormau sine, Wallace Idaho, by
Harry L. Albert; copper box placed on
top of Mt. Hood by E. DeWert in 1890,
presented by O. C. Yocuni, E. DeWert
and W. B. Steel. The box had been
badly punched with alpine storks by
vandals. The top of Mount Hood has
been presented by Colonel Hawkins
himself, who picked it off Hood's hoary
crest a few days ago. It is simply a
piece of volcanic rock, hut Portlanders
may now visit the very top of Mt. Hood
by going to the museum.

and snys that, those who think so will
have their ideas corrected in due time.
The government inspectors have or
dered an investigation of the cadses
that led to the stranding of the steamer

One eastern Oregon editor says of an
other that "for accomplished mendacity,
contumacioiisness and villillration be is
entitled to a full page portrait in the
Oregonian's rogue gallery of newspaper
men.
Recorder Ned Gates, accompanied by
Charles Bnrgetf, went np the road this
afternoon to inquire into tho caue of
the death of a Japanese In the Celilo
neighborhood. No particulars of the
occurrence had reached here at the hour
of going to press.
Martin Bailey, son of Rev. C. P. Bai
ley, of this city, who has been under
treatment for about two months at the
Good Samaritan hospital in Portland,
the other day ruptured a blood vessel
In his side and came near dying. At
last accounts he was Improving.
Peter Bonn, son of George Bunn,ol
this city, died yestetday evening at the
residence ot his parents, aged 20 years.
About year ago the deceased, while
employed at a seaman on merchant
man sailing vessel, plying between the
United States and China, fell from the
mast ot the vessel and suitained Inju
ries from which he never recovered.
A bont four months ago his mental con
dition was such that It was thought ad
visable to send him to the insane asy
lum at Salem. About a week ago his
physical condition was such that he
was brought home, where he gradually
sank, last evening Into the sleep that
knows no waking. Tbe poor lad's skull
had been fractured in tbe tall from the
mast.
John Bettie, a farmer living on the
lower Deschutes, white on the way from
The Dalles yesterday evening, was
thrown from his wagon and suffered dis
location of the right shoulder. He came
to town this forenoon and had the in
jured member attended to by Dr. Logan.
Astoria cannerymen want the fish of
the river protected by a law that will
prevent taking salmon with traps or
wheels, but they are not willing to ob
serve the laws we now have, for they
have been receiving fish since the season
closed. They are an inconsistent lot of
individuals.
A long echo was beard Tuesday from
the Oregon exhibit at the Omaha expo
sition. Four Russian Germans came to
the office of Secretary Doscb, of Port
land, directed by some German friends
who visited the Omaha exposition, and
made inquiries for a large tract of land
in Oregon suitable for a colony of their
people. The inquirers came from the
old country to a colony ot their people
in Wisconsin. These colonists had seen
the Oregon exhibit and met Secretary
Doscb. This they remembered, aud
when the present party came looking for
new land, tbev were directed to distant
Oregon and the man who had charge of
the Oregon exhibit. Mr. Dosch gave
them all information possible regarding
suitable land, and tt:ey started forth
looking for a 10,000-acre tract of good
agricultural land. They were informed
that such a large piece might not be
found without settlers, as Oregon was
becoming well peopled. If other things
are suitable, they are willing to buy off
some settlers.
Tbe Wheat Trade.
New-crop wheat is moving slowly this
way; but it will be another three weeks
before there will be anything like a free
movement. Farmers have sold little so
far, although bids are out above the true
market value. Private advices from in
terior points etate farmers have very
dvanced ideas as to selling prices, and
show a strong disposition to hold out
(or more money. Harvesting operations
are in lull blast, and farmers busy at
threshing or hauling to local warehouses.
Returns of field work generally show re
duced yields from the expectations that
growers bad six weeks ago. Keports
from the Valley are discouraging, and
the yield will hardly come np to 2,000,
000 to 2,500,000 bushels, less than sixty
per cent of a usual crop in that terri
tory. Samples from east of the mount
ains are very good from tbe appearance
of the berry, which is large and plump.
Trading can hardly be said to have
commenced, excepting a few trades
made in the interior. The present out
look for higher prices is rather discour
aging. Shippers will not reduce their
asking price on tonnage to bo had. Ex
porters are hesitating in paying ex
treme prices for loading in the future ;
hence there is a deadlock between the
ship owner and exporter, and the farm
er will have to pay the heavy carrying
charges, especially in view of the steady
decline in wheat abroad. Exporters are
In no humor to stock up with tonnage.
We quote club Walla Walla, on export
basis, 55 cents ; valley, 56 cents ; blue
stem, 58(359 from one cent to three
cents higher than has been paid by in
terior dealers during the week, mostly
on specnlatlve account, and some ex
porter has met the price, but most of
them refuse to pay any premium above
fie price quoted here. Commercial Re
view, Aug. 10th.

ST. LOUIS EMBEZZLER ARBESTED
Ike laMrameatallty of Might,
watchman AlUky.
Roland Quinten, accused of embezxling
between $25,000 and $30,000 in St. Louis
several years ago, was arrested last even
ing at the Quiuiby House la Portland,
by two Portland detectives. The prisoner
has been a fugitive from justice' since
leaving St. Louis, and has been traced
to ew Orleans and other portions of
the South, but managed to elude his
pursuers until Portland's detectives got
on his track, through the instrumentality
of special Nightwatcbman Alisky.ot this
city. Last Saturday Detective Day, of
Portland, was notified by a telephone
message fiom Mr. Alisky to look out for
Quinten, on one of the boats, so he went
to the Cascade Locks, where be expected
tbe man to step off, as all the passengers
usually disembark at tbat point. Quinten
was not seen, however, and last evening
Day raid he was the only passenger who
did not get off, having evidently smelled
a rat.
Thursday night Mr. AlUky telegraphed
Detective Day :
"Quinten is in Portland and stopping
at the Quimby House, as his mail is
forwarded to him from here, under the
alias of J. A. Lenbart." Day and
Weiner repaired to the hotel, and, find
ing a light In "Mr. Lenhart's" room,
they knocked at the door. It was opened
and Day said: "How do you do, Mr.
Quinten ; we are detectives and would
like you to come down to the police
station." Quinten said: "That's my
name, and the game is up," and at once
resigned himself to the officers.
At the station he seemed to be perfectly
at ease, but would not aree to leave for
St. Louis without requisition papers,
and talked quite glibly of habeas corpus.
The officers, however, expect no trouble
on that score.
The prisoner is a gentleuianly-appear
ing man of a florid complexion, well
dressed, about 32 years of age, and is of
German descent, speaking both English
and his mother tongue fluently. He was
preparing to leavo for Ritzville, Wash
where he was to represent a Portland
furniture house. Chief Campbell, of
St. Louis, has been telegraphed to, and
an answer is expected this morning. A
large reward is offered for Quinten, which
will undoubtedly tall to The Dalles
detective, to whom, alone, Quinten owes
it that he is in the way of having meted
out of him the justice be deserves.
A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
A Dead Body Found Above Town Tues
day Afternoon.
At about 0 o'clock Tuesday evening the
marshal was informed that the Skibbee
children had discovered the remains of a
man near the slough, about a mile above
town. Undertaker Burgett, accompa
nied by Night Watchman Like and City
Marshal Driver, drove up to the scene
aud found the badly decomposed re
mains of a man, partly covered with
sand. He bad evidently been dead sev
eral months, as the bones of the l'mbs
were almost devoid of flesh and the head
bad been severed and lay several feet
away from the rest of the remains.
They were lyinr in a channel through
which a stream flows at high water, and
there was little doubt that they had
been washed from some point up the
river.
Tbe man was, as near as could be
judged, about 35 years of age, with red
hair, and was dressed in overalls and
jumper, with, heavy underwear. He
had neither shoes nor stockings on, and
nothing could be found in bis pockets
except a few matches.
After an inquest had been held at
Crandall & Burgett's undertaking par
lors, the remains were taken to the city
cemetery, where tbey were buried
Wednesday morning.
The following is the verdict of the jury
impaneled by acting-Coron?r Gates :
We, the jury impaneled by Ned H.
Gates, recorder of Dalles City and ex
oflicio justice of the peace, (the coroner
of Wasco county being unable to act) to
inquire into the cause of the death of
the body now before us, find the follow
ing facts :
That the body of the deceased was
found on the 14th day of August, 1900,
about one mile east of The Dalles, Or.,
on the slough and about five feet from
the water's edge. That the deceased
was a white man, of middle age, me
dium height and has red hair; that he
came to bis death several months ago;
but bv what means, where and nnder
what circumstances, this jury is unable
to ascertain after due diligence and
search and inquiry, the body being in
such a state of decomposition that it is
unrecognizable.
The Oregon Trail.
An attempt is to he made to identify
points, having special historical associa
tions, on the old Oregon trail. For this
purpose, Professor F. G.Young, secretary
of the Oregon Historical Society, and
Professor Joseph Schaofer, recently
elected to Gil the tho chair of history in
the State University, will Btart from
Omaha, August 20, for Oregon, taking
views of points on the rou.e from Grand
Island, Neb., to the Columbia river.
They will go up tbe North Platte,
through the South Pass, touching the
trail where the California route branches
from it, at Fort Hall, Boise, and other
points in Eastern Oregon.
Prior to his investigation of the trail,
Professor Young is desirous of receiving
suggestions from Oregon pioneers as to
the spots to be Identified, and also de
scriptions of Incidents and scenes which
j have happened on the trail at these
points In the early days, while the)
pioneers were on their way to Oregon.
As the hvglra ot the pioneers to ths
Pacific Coast is oneot the greatest epochs
in American history, It should b
handed down to posterity In its tri
light, aud for this is the investigation to
be made.
All letters from pioneers, containing
Information telative to the trail, should
be addressed to Mr. Young, at Ouitha,
Neb., in time to reach that place by AU

THE STEAMER BILLINUS
Captain Cue Oenlea that He Ever Bald
the Bteerlug Apparatus Broke.
Hood Rivku, Aug. 11, 1900.
Editor Chkomii.e:
My atteution has just been called to
two articles published InTiiK Ciikonicik
of recent date regarding the wreck of
the steamer Billings, one copied from
the Hood River Glacier and one reputed
to come from the offiee of the C. N. A C.
Co.
I wish to say that nisuch informa
tion was given to the Glacier or any on
else, and the statement tbat something
broke about the steering apparatuses
not correct. There was nothing broken.
On the other hand, vonr statement
would carry the idea that steering geer
was used. This is also incorrect. There
may have been steering geer on board,
probably was, but it was not used ; was
not connected up, so could not be used.
The boat was brought down by hand,
two men, the best on the ship, being
required to handle the wheel, and one
of these was badly hurt bv the wheel
getting away from him and throwing
him down on the floor.
Very Truly,
If. C. Cok. -
A Itare Vase of fertldy aud Ilhoner.
Attorney W. B. Presby spent last
night in tho city on his way home from
attending the republican state convention
at Tacoina. Mr. Preshy was a candidate
for the superior judgshlp of Clarke,
Cowlitz, Skamania and Klickitat
counties, but was defeated for the nom
ination by the present incumbent, Judge
Abe Miller, by one vote. Strange to say
the vote that defeated him was that of a
mau who had promised to support Mr.
Presby, and who had accepted the ap
pointment of delegate on a platform
containing the following ringing resolu
tion In favor of Mr. Presby :
"Reposing with confidence in the in
tegrity, ability and high legal attain
ments of the Hon. Winthrop B. Presby,
we do hereby indorse him for the nom
ination of Bupeiior judge of this judicial
district and instruct our delegates to tbe
district convention to cast its vote for
him for that office, rind to use all honor
able means to secure his nomination."
There were two recreants, in tact, one
olthem being Pete Ahola, of centerville,
who asked for the nomination as delegate,
on a pledge that he would support Mr,
Presby. The other was one Frank
Powers, of Dot. Both of these men wera
supported by Mr. Presby's friendB on
the distinct understanding that they
would support Mr. Presby's candidacy.
Their action showed that they never
had the slightest intention of supporting
Mr. Presby, but bad solicited the position
of delegates for the express purpose of
stabbing him in the back. Happily for
the credit of politics and political parties,
occurrences similar to this rarely happen,
but when they do, the traitors are
properly and eternally politically
damned. Barring tbe two traitors Mr.
Presby bad the earnest support of the
Klickitat delegation as well as the solid
vote of the entire Cowjitz county
delegation.
