It is said that the fruitnien of The
Dalles are at last thoroughly awakened
to the necessity and importance of hav
ing a fruit cannery at this place, aud
that any responsible party who would
stait apiojeetof this kind would have
the fruit-raisers' liberal support. Tiie

lute waste for lack of a cannery has
taught the fruitnien a lesson that they
are not likely to forget.

through the transom Mr. Howe shout
ed : "Get away from here, you sen of a

known that he wore a white bat and
reached the transom bv standing on the
shoulders of an accomplice.
Stephen Jones ana his three sons,

north fork of Lewis river, Cowlitz
county, Washington. The party passed
through here on the 3d of last April in
search of a stock range, and after trav
ersing Southeastern Oregon and going
from there north as far as Walla Walla,
concluded they would go back to Cow
litz county. The father saw several
localities that pleased him, but the boys
were not satisfied with any of them.
The trip had cost them four months'
time, but their actual outlay did not
exceed $150, as they had worked for
some six weeks in the Walla Walla har
vest fijlds.
Nearly all the vacant places in the
city, from a two-room shanty at $3 to a
modern cottage at 1-0 per month, have

is evident that the people all over
Eastern Oregon recognize the value of
The Dalles public schools and more
especially since the higher grade was
added to our High school curriculum.

Hudson & Brownhill, in an interview

four-room cottages, for rent nt from $8
to $12, aod could not supply the want.
They are also receiving inquiries from
parties who want to buy property near
the schools. It is very evident that,
considering the prosperity no-v in the
country on account of large crops, etc.,
real estate will move this fall if you
want to buy or sell.

In nothing eUe as in the words we
h it'ituallf ue in the common talk of
daily life do we show so plainly our
degree of refinement, our culture or the
lack of it, and the plane on which our
thoughts move. It is therefore worth
our w I) ile, do you not see, to take somo
pains in our conversation, not in such a
way as to inske us seem stiff and
pedantic, but to recognize the fact that
heir, a in other departments of learn
ing, i: it training that tell in results.

possible to drag the woman out of the
barrel, and her husband finally rolled
her down the street to a blacksmith
shop and had the iron bands around the
barrel cut away so that she could be
released.
It is safe to say, from a wide acquaint
ance with ministers' wives, that they
are hot sometimes, but always imposed
uoon ; they are laid upon the Procrustean
bed of "ought to be," and anatomical
considerations vanish before the joy
moBt people feel in the cheerful task of
siretcning out or loppuig on one or
other of the privileges which the ma
jority of the other women in the parish
possess to an unlimited degree. A

personal inspection in order that be
might act intelligently w hen the court
determines on what ia best to be done
Bt its next meeting. Speaking particu
larly of the grade a nilio or so beyond

will recommend, as the best and, in the
long run, most economical thing that
can be done, that all tho adobe part of
the grade be covered with broken rock
to a depth sufficient to insure a perma
nently solid nad bed. Any other treat
ment of that part of the road Mr. Evans
regards as money thrown away.
Bill Charley, a Ttimwater Indian, is

withal. He bad been hauling for the
Central Navigation Company mid today

who figured up the checks and found
they amounted to $187. Bill took them
to the office of the company Bnd ob
tained a settlement on u basis of $lt0, or
$18 less than bis checks called for. Bill
returned to his white friend who ex
plained to him that some of the checks
were in duplicate and that the chances
were the company's reckoning was cor
rect. Bill hesitated long and solemnly
and at last said: "All right. It Bill
Charley die with ten dollars railroad
money in his pocket, be go to hell. If

There wai q iite a j ike played ou the
recent republican, state convention at
Tacoma, whrrii is interestingly and
truthfully related by Ihe Walla Walla
Union, as folio s :
siomeof i he delegates picked up a man
down at flyter Bay who looked so much
like "Pud. LewH that I doubt if Lewis
himself c uld have told the d.tfeience.
I hey dressed their find in a dark blue
Prince Albert, a pair of litiht trousers,
carefully creased, a stovepipe hat, tan
gloves and a cane. They coached him
to pull his blondj beard outward from
the center and to lift his hat three times
when any person of prominence passed
him. He looked moro like "Dude"
Lew is than Ihe dude does himself.
When they became convinced their
find could carry bis part they escorted
him into Ibo convention hall. About
thirty fellows w ho were in t Lo plav were
scatteted about the room aiol when the
mock Jim Ham came in they started a
perfect tirade of applause. 'Ihe pseudo
politician came up Ihe aisle bowing and
smiling, every. ne who was not. a party
to the plot thinking Die article genuine.
Congressman Jones was speaking at
the time the diversion occurred and
when be glanced down the hall and saw
what be thought to be James Hamilton
Lewis, he paused and said: "Will the
gentleman have a seat on the platform?"
That break cost Jones a great deal in
drinks and cigars. The name of the fellow
who impersonated Lewis I cannot re
member, but they calied him the "Duck
of Oyster B ay."
Suspension of Work on the I'nrtag.
Work on the Paul Mohr portage was
suspended Saturday noon and all the
laborers discharged. All hands who
have coming to them $15 or less are be
ing paid today in fnli by orders that are
cashed at the First National Bank, and
all who have more than this amount
coming to them are given an order on
the bank for $15 and a time check due
in tlurty days for the balance.
Mr. Mohr is absent in Portland, but
the gentleman in charge of the office of
the campany at this place says that the
suspension of work is onlv temporary
and has been made necessary by a re
construction of the company for the pur
pose of obtaining additional capital.
He claims that work will be resumed in
a short time and pushed to a finish.
The company has suffered a heavy
loss in the stranding of the Billincs.
They no longer make a secret of it that,
barring the machinery ami the possibil
ity of using the patched up hull for a
wharf boat, the vessel is a total loss. To
reconstruct her has cost the company
$30,000. The losing of this sum at this
time in a heavy blow, and it la hnidly a
secret that leading stockholders have
been casting about for somebody or
something on which to lay the blame.
Parties claiming to be in the secrets of
the company claim to have foreseen this
suspension months agnaas the natural
culmination of a bitter light among tiie
stockholders 'bat has its storm-center
in the management.

deliverence from a frightful death. In

Tvphoid fever, that ran into Pneumonia.
My luns became hardened. I was so
weak I couldn't even sit up in bed.
Nothing helped me. I expected to soon
die of Consumption, when I heard of Dr.
King's New Discovery. One bottle gave
great relief. I continued to use it, and
