The whalo that recently washed ashore
on tbe Oregon beach, about midway be
tween the Seaside and Gri ues hotels,
though still on exhibition, is no longer
tbe attraction that it was several days
ago, says the Telegram. It is now be
ginning to make its presence felt, and
beach residents and visitors find it more
pleasant to view the remains of the mon- -
ster at long distance than at close range.
The whale is beginning to resent famil
iarity. , The animal is about 25 feet in
length and from 4 to ix: feet thick. It
is what is known as the black whale,
and seldom attains much greater size
than the one washed aBbure.
Some time ago Rev. Charles M. Shel
don, famous the world over as the
author of "In His Steps," published a
Topeka paper for one week by special
arrangement with its owners, on a plan
entirely his own. The policy was defined
as orfhodox Christianity liberally ap
plied. Now comes a new man, said to
be backed by a large Portland concern,
and he has announced the paper for to
morrow. The new publication is to be
devoted to the best interests of the
people of Wasco county, treating its
subjects in a purely social and esthetic
sense. "The Wool City Special," as he
has christened it, is advertised for to
morrow and, as the editor states, he will
rely entirely on the voluntary support
of tbe people, believing a sufficient per
centage of the population here are not
only ready to receive such an enterprise
but that they will be quick to perceive
the benefits of its suggestions.
J. V. Mossman, an Oregon pioneer of
the early fifties, was in town yesterday
in the interest of the "Native Son"
monthly and lett for his home at Port
land on this morning's boat. Mr. Mojs
man was a resident of The Dalles in
1853. He was a volunteer in the Indian
wars of 1855-56. He carried the mails
on horseback between The Dalles and
Walla Walla during the winter of 1839
and '00. He ' was deputy sheriff of
Wasco county in 18)9, undor Sheriff
Charles White, when Wasco county in
cluded all of Eastern Oregon, nearly all
of Idaho and part of Montana. He was
here in '5S when Jerry Dennis killed
Duff Neil over a game of caids and was
afterwards acquitted. He was here in
59, when one James killed a man named
Burns with a dray stick and afterwards
served two or three years in the peni
tentiary for the prime. Ho nn still

The school superintendent of Klicki
tat county says he has been unable to
obtain a sufficient number of teachers
for his county and is about half a dozen
short. Unemployed teachers will take
notice and govern themselves according
ly. They should address Professor Col

The Pendleton East Oregonian says
quite a number of young men from Pen
dleton have gone to The Dalles during
the past few months, including Frank
Murphy, Elmer Turner, Herman Peters,
Jake Welch, Will Dupnis and Jake
Marin. The Dalles fair will attract a
good attendance from Pendleton.
The annual meeting of the National
Woolgrowers' Association is announced
for January 19th. It will be held at
Salt Lake City. Pendleton will get the
annual meeting of the Pacific North
west Association, which will be held tbe
first Tuesday in March. As matters of
importance to the sheep industry are to
come up at both of these meetings, they
will no doubt be well attended by Ore
gon sheepmen.
The Antelope Republican says, Chas.
Butler, the stock buyer, was in that
lown Friday and Saturday. He bought
110 head of beef cattle from Bolter, B.
Cram, A. J. Friday and Sam Douthit.
He paid $3.10 for cows and $3.63 for
s'eers. The cattle averageu over

Butler, not being able to make rates to
suit him with the S. P., drovo them
overland to The Dalles.
The members of the committee on

Owing to unforeseen obstacles the com

With its distinct air of originality,
magnificent scenic environments and
presented by a good company, the "King
of the Opium King" will undoubtedly
meet with the same phenomenal success
at the Vogt opera house on Wednesday
night next that attends its presentation
in other cities. The play, based as it is
on the real Chinatown of the country,
and the way one thrill follows another,
is enough to satisfy all who crave lor
sensations. There are so many thrills
that it necessitates the work of no less
than four heroes to meet the emergen
cies and foil the machinations of the
villains who attempt to make away with

an American gill through the medium
of opium. There is so much in the play
that is sightly and picturesque, so much
that is novel, amusing and instructive,
sucn rapid movement, so generous a
provision of unquestionable strong act
ing, that one may venture npon empha
sis in proclaiming its merits. Tbe "King
of the Opium Ring" Is a welcome relief
from the marring monotony of the brand
of "London thriller," with which the
popular priced American theaters have
long been overloaded.
If you are thinking of buying an um
brella, you should drop in at A. M. Wil
liams & Co.'s and look over their new
line. All the newest styles of bandies,
including some very odd designs finished
in pearl, silver and gold, are shown in
choice varieties. In addition to the
finest qualities they are showing a well
assorted line of cheaper umbrellas as
well, ranging in price from 50 cents up.
Those who have a good umbrella which
only needs re-covering to make it as
good as new, will be glad to learn that

J. Lelland Henderson, the Hood River
attorney, yesterday mailed to the county
clerk a plat of Wacoma and a re-plat of
South Wacoma that measures about
four feet square, with the request that
it be placed on record. As the record
books measure about 14x24 inches to the
page the county clerk very naturally
informed Mr. Henderson that the only
way a facsmile record of Wacoma could
be mado was bv nailing the original plat
on the side wall of the court house; but
as "the man who owns the court house"
would probably object it was suggested
that It -was probably best to reduce the
plat to the limits of the record books.
And it was so ordered.
An item in a recent issue of the Min
neapolis, Minn., Journal states that in
two weeks of September 100 carloads of
fruit has been received in that city. Of
this amount sixty carloads had come
from Oregon and Washington and forty j
from Michigan, Indiana and Illlnoi".
It is such facts as these that indicate in
a pr Action 1 way the wonderful natural
, I
resources of Oregon. A gentleman, who
had recently come to Portland from
Minneapolis, informs the Telegram that
Oregon apples sell readily in the hitter
city at $2 and $2.50 per box, and thut no
better fruit is seen there than that
which comes from this state.

The time fixed for the game is the after
noon of Saturday, the 13th, thn last day
of the fair. A special train will bring

Mount Hood Camp No. 59, W. O. W.
of this city, have decided to take a part
In the biggest of big parades. We are
told they will have somethiug handsome,
and you bet they will, for they are
noted for tricks of that kind. A com
roittee of workers are already spending
time and money vsry freelf with that
end in view.
The Columbia Packing House received
today, in a small bunch of beef cattle
bought of John Keidro of Klickitat
county, four cows of the Polled Angus
breed that weighed 5250 pounds, two of
them weighing over 1300 pounds a
piece. This is no unusual weight for
steers but for cows of any breed it is a
record not often equaled,

While you are in the city attending
the carnival don't forget to call on Hud
son & Brownhill, the leading, up-to-date
real estate men. If you have anything
in their line to sell list it with them, as
they are great advertisers. If you want
to bny or rent a farm, or a home in the
city, they can accommodate you. If you
want to make a loan they are the people
to see. Remember they have two teams

property for sale or rent.
The old soldiers of this neighborhood,
Mexican veterans, veterans of the civil
war and of the Spanish war are request
ed to meet in Fraternity hall Monday
night, to give expression to what
opinions, they may hold on the questions
of expansion, imperialism and the policy
of the present administration in relation
to the Philippine islands. The general
public will be cordially welcomed.
Messrs Hudson and Brownhill, the
wideawake real estate dealers of this
city, will have on exhibition during
carnival week with the mineral txhidit
the finest collection of rocks and fossils
in Eastern Oregon. This collection has
been secured by them from Mr. E. T.
Glisan, of Antelope, who spent many
years in getting it together, and these
gentlemen are to be congratulated for
their enterprise In securing so valnable
an addition to the many attractions that
will be on exhibition.
Twenty-five capeiiters, painters ami
decorators were at work todav on the
carnival buildings and booths and their
work Is rapidly assuming shape as well
as beauty. Every Inch of space within
the big Inclosure has been taken and
space is now at a premium. At the ur
gent request of exhibitor! who failed to
&
m
secure space till nil was gone, the com
mittee baa felt obliged to encroach a
little on tbe space devoted to the horti
cultural exhibit. Trie way the people
are now taking hold an 1 working with
one heart for the success of tbe carnival
is exceedingly gratifying to the carnival
committee.
Water was again struck today in tbo
artesian well that is being bored a few
hundred yards south of tbe reservoir.
Tliii is the fourth time that water baa
been struck in this well which has now
reached a depth of 445 feet.. The first
water as struck at a depth of 105 feet.
The second an 1 larger stream was ltraek.
at a depth of 200 feel. The third stream
was struck at a depth of 390. None of
these streams rose to the surface, and
the last one lacks 315 feet of reaching
that point. Biring will be continued
until a depth of 650 feet is reached, un
less artesian water I found teener. At
this depth the well should reach an
equal depth with the Seufert we!l on tbe
edge of the Columbia that has been
pouring out a big stream of delicious);
cool, pure water all summer.
Cbas. E. Blaney's elaborate scenic
production, ''The King of the Opium
Ring," has caught ou with theater goers
in a decided manner wherever presented.
It will be seen here at the Vogt opera
house on Wednesday, Oct. lOtb. The
author claims that the play was written
from facts, suggested by an incident of
real life. Upon this idea the author has
created a play of a thoroughly hnman
character, dealing with the lives of the
lowly and picturing in a mjht graphic
style scenes front real life that are daily
enacted in that great cosmopolitan
colony of 'Frisco. Four acts are em
ployed for the doaling out of the plot,
and, as in all good melodramas, the
story ends with the triumph of virtue
and the downfall of degradation and
vice.
A. W. Bullock and J. L. Gilmore, of
the Blockbonse neighborhood, Klickitat
county, desire to register a kick against
the Rockland ferry because, as they
claim, after arriving at the other side of
the river last evening at not later than
ten minutes past six o'clock, and while
it was yet light enough for them to be
distinctly seen, they were compelled to
camp all night on the other side, sleep
in wet blankets and pay tbe exhorbitant
rates for feed that is charged over there
to any one unfortunate enough to be
compelled to stay there over night.
Tbe Ciihoniclb thinks these .men have
a right to be beard, just as the ferry
men have a right to answer them if
they see fit. But one thing is certain;
It would be big money in the pockets of
The Dalles business men and others if
this city should purchase that ferry and
run it, at least pirt of the year, free.
Messrs. Bullock and Gilmore are con
vinced that a large number of Klickitat
farmers would be glad to contribute to a
fund for this purpose.

"Well, what are the facta In the case?
Was he really popular?"
"Not at all. He took little Interest in

"What did he care for? He must
