Saturday's Dally.
Dr. Sanders, rooms 1 and 2, Chapman
block. tl
Hon. W. H. H. Dufor informs to
Dufur Dispatch that the forest ranges on
the Cascade reserve will all be called in
on the 15th instant. , ..
Too much credit cannot be given to
the cereal exhibit which was collected
and fitted op by G. T. Farr, of the
Eastern Oregon Land Company. In
beanty of design there was nothing to
exceed it on the carnival grounds.
Among the apple exhibitors at the
carnival whose names were not pub
lished in the list of last Thursday are
O. H. Garrison, C. II. Smith and I.
Matney, who brought some very beauti
ful apples from the upper Mill Creek
country.
The Yost opera house never presented
a more brilliant appearance than it did
at 10 o'clock last night when the grand
Rex ball opened. The big room was
handsomely decorated with no end. of
American flags and bunting, Japanese
umbrellas, and Chinese lanterns lighted
' by electricity. This was the work of
Mr. Stringer for which he is entitled to
great credit. The attendance at the
ball was very large and the fljor was
crowded till 2 o'clock this morning.
The music was excellent all that might
be expected when Mr. Birgteld is leader.
The one disappointment was the Don
appearance of Rex owing to a failure of
the royal robes to arrive in time.
Three or fonr farmers were gathered
yesterday at Cross' grocery corner and
their conversation turned on the issues
of the pendin? campaign. Among them
was Mike Stacher, who years ago used
to act as nightwatchman at the com
pany'a shops before they were removed
to Albina. Mike has been a life long
democrat and, German that be is, in
. spite of German opposition to free silver
be was loyal to bis party four years ago
and voted for Bryan. Here is Mike's
contribution to the conversation yester
day, as overheard by a bystander
"Well, gentlemen, I have been demo
crat all my life and I voted for Bryan
four years, but I'll never do it again
Times are good as one could reasonably
ask them to be. ' Money is plenty and
interest is lower than it ever was. Fonr
years ago I could not borrow a dollar to
save my soul. Now people are actually
running after me and others to get ns to
borrow. I have made up my mind to
take no chances on a change and I am
going to vote to let well enough alone."
The pigeon cotes of F. J. Bonn and H.
F. Zeitfler were greatly admired at the
fair, and either of the gentlemen was
sure of an audience as long as he stood
in front of the cotes and explained the
character and habits of the birds. Mr.
Zeigler, by the way, has some remarka
ble birds In bis collection of homing Or
carrier pigeons. He has a ben that took
the first price at the world's fair in a
race from Chicago to Milwaukee, a dis
tance of 300 miles. This bird has a
long distance record of 700 miles. An
other bird, "Joe," has a record of 32,800
miles of travel in twenty-seven trips, be
tween England and Belgium. Another,
"Blue Boy," won first prize three times
in a 500-mile race between a station in
Georgia and Trenton, N. J. A blue
checkered hen baa a record of 450 miles
at an average speed of 1500 yards a min
ute. Another, "Henry Z.," made the
distance between Seattle and The Dalles
in two hours and a half. Another won
a 450 mile race between San Francisco
and Los Angeles and came home shot in
both wings and permanently disabled.
And still six others have each a 500
mile record between Bourdeaux, France,
and Antwerp, Belgium. One of Mr.
Zeigler'a birds is 22 years old. He says
homing pigeons live for fifty years.

L. Gerlinger, president of the Colom
bia Valley Railroad Company, informs
a correspondent of the Spokesman-Re
view that maps of location and survey
of the Columbia valley line, extending
from Wallula down the north aide of
the Columbia river to tide water, have
been accepted by the U. S. land office
at Vancouver.. Gerlinger refused to say
anything concerning the intentions of
the company regarding Commencement
of construction, but it is generally be
lieved that the company is getting ready
to commence work in the near future.
Surveying parties have .recently been
over the line In the vicinity of Van
couver, setting grade stakes, and are
now understood to be proceeding east
ward. The greater portion of the right
of way of the line between Vancouver
and Wallula has been purchased. Tbe
general understanding in tbe former
city is that the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company is behind the enterprise.
Dr. D. Siddall returnsd yesterday from
nival horticultural exhibit. The biggest Cape Nome, whither he went last May.
apples were from Hood River. Not that He looks mgged and hearty and enjoyed
individual samples from other places did the best of health all the time of his ab
sence. He acquired several claims tbat
are valuable property were it not for the
muddle over the title. A New York
syndicate, by some infamous species' of
graft, claims title to the best of the
beach claims, and by some kind of jug
glery with the conrts has succeeded in
compelling miners who use machinery
to suspend operations till the courts have
settled the question of title. By that
time most of the miners holding dis
puted claims will have become discour
aged and left the syndicate in undisputed
possession. The syndicate's method of
operation is to file counter claims on
any claim that shows gold In paying
quantities. The miner is ordered to
suspend operations and on refusal is
arreeted or driven off by the soldiery.
In spite of these discouragements tbe
doctor was fortunate enough to hold Lis
not equal individual samples from Hood
River, but comparing the varieties all
around, Hood River is entitled to the
honors. Indeed suprisingly large and
beautiful as the carnival apple exhibit,
confessedly is the late Hood River ex-
Libit was nearly twice as large and
almost correspondingly beautiful. Per
haps the largest and most complete box
of apples was that of William Ehrck of
Hood River. They are the Hydes King
of the West variety. The biggest iqaash
belongs to 8. F. Blythe, editor of the
Hood River Glacier. It weighs 120 ibs.
The biggest cabbage by Harry Mahear.
The biggest watermelon by Robert
Cooper. The largest Hubbard squash!
by G. W. Fligg. The biggest carrot by
A. P. Vance. The biggest pumpkin by
Hans Hansen. Tbe biggest potatoes by

own, but that is all. He will probably
return next spring if be cannot dispose
of his claims and machinery meanwhile
to advantage.
General Clark E. Carr, of Illinois, ex
minister to Denmark, will speak at tbe
Vogt opera house next Wednesday night
in the interest of McKinley and pros
perity. This will be the first republican
speech of the campaign in Wasco county
and tbe citizens of The Dalles are to be
complimented that one of the most
brilliant campaign orators in the United
States baa been sent here. General
Carr spoke in San Francisco last Friday
night, and if bis speech, a synopsis of
which appears in Saturday's San Fran
Cisco Chronicle, is any indication of
what we may expect here, we can assure
our readers that. Tbe Dalles people who
fail to bear General Carr will miss
great treat. Tbe county executive com
mittee, having accidentally heard tbat
Han. E. L. Smitb, of Hood River, bad
made the acquaintance of General Carr
when be was doing his first campaign
work back in Illinois and Mr. Smith
was attending college, have requested
Mr. 1 Smith ' to act as ' chairman of
Wednesday night's meeting and that
gentleman has telephoned bis consent.

The quarantine for scarlet faver has

Dietze!, and after a siege of two weeks
Mr. Dietzel appeared on the streets for
the first time today.
We regret to learn that L. J. Daven
port had his left arm fractured in a run

painful bruises about the bead. He is
under the care of Dr. Watts, of Hood
River.
The work of laying the new wate

Dr. Leaven, of Cascade Locks, has
retired from business and sold out his
stock in trade to Ash A Black of that
place. The doctor deserves tin rest
that should follow a long and honorable
business career.
Tbe opening services of the Oregon
Baptist State Convention will be held at
the Calvary Baptist church tonight at
7:30 o'clock. Rev. Ray Palmer, of
Portland, will p react). About sixty del
egates will arrive on the Regulator this
evening.
Sunday night some parties, apparent
ly out of wanton mischief, broke open
the large doors of tbe sid entrance of
the Vogt opera house, using force suffi
cient to smash tbe heavy Iron hinges.
Some glass was smashed in another part
of the building but nothing is known to
have been carried off.
Foley Bros. A Larsen arc using on the
O. R. A N. improvements near Mosier a
eighty-horse power donkey engine and
an endless cable invention of Pat Welch
in tbe work of handling dirt for tie
grading. Tbe invention handles five cars,
and has proved a great saver of time and
labor. :
A. M. Stringer, who is a partner in
the distillery soou to be started at the
Mission gardens, says tbe company has
a quantity of prunes now in the mash
and tbe work of distilling will commence
within the next ten days.
: Real estate men claim that there is a
great demand for residence property in
this city, demand far exceeding the
supply. And this is in spite of the fact
that s considerable number of houses
was built during the summer and a con
siderable number is in course of erection
now. There is a real lack of bouses that
rent at from $15 to $25.
Report has it that Curg Cates has
struck it rich down at the locks. Besides
a profitable drug business at tbe locks be
acquired timber lands in tbe neighbor
hood of Stevenson that he lately refused
an otter of $12,000 for, believing that he
can get more out of tbe lands by holding
on to them and selling tbe timber. He
contracted with Morse Brothers to get
out logs and has 250,000 feet at this time
in the Columbia river.
Rumor has it that the 0. R. A N. Co.
have in contemplation tbe straightening
of tbe road bed between here and Crate's
Point, so as to do away with the big
cuive near the Anderson place. The
change contemplates the track running
through tbe company's yards and mak
ing as straight a line as possible for the
Point. It is said the work will com
mence next spring, or as soon as the
improvements now in progress near
Mosier are completed.
General Clark E. Carr, who speakc
here tomorrow night, addressed an im
mense audience at Ashland last night.
A dispatch to the Oregon lao says tbe
general's hearers were more than de
lighted with his shrewd and homely wit
and his telling piints in support of Mc
Kinley and prosperity rule. He covered
most of tbe important questions of the
campaign, including militarism and im
perialism as advanced by the Bryan
party; discussed in a practical style the
subjects of trusts and closed his address
ith a tribute to the possibilities opened
up to the Pacific states by the latest ex
pansion of the United States.
Today's Oregonian savs tbat negotia
tions for an amicable adjustment of the
affairs of the Central Navigation A Con
struction Company have failed, and
Paul F. Mohr's transportation enter
prise is again embarrassed. The con
struction company Las failed to perform
its contract with the parent corporation.
Mr. Mohr says he expects to refinance
the construction company In five or six
weeks alter tha election shall be set
tledand then all will move forward
serenely again. The trouble comes, be
says, from the fact that the company
had not sufficient capital to carry
through the work it undertook. In
authorized capital was only $'.'50,000.
Mr. Mohr proposes to file supplementary
articles Increasing this capitalization to
about 1450,0(10, which, he says, will be
ample for all the purposes in view.

THE CARNIVAL AT AN END.
It Baa Frored tha Moat Sneceaaial la

Ever Engaged In.
Moaday'a Dally.
Tbe fair is over, the booths are de
serted, the big crowds have gone their
way, and in a few hours nothing will
remain of Tbe Dalles Harvest Carnival
and Street Fair but a memory. But it
Is a memory of one of tbe 'most suc
cessful enterprises of tbe kind The
Dalles has ever had anything to do
with. And best of all, our visitors
carried away with them the kindliest
recollections of the way they were treat
ed by their hosts of Tbe Dalles. It is to
the credit of the hotels and restaurants
tbat no case has been reported where
more than ordinary rates were asked or
demanded for meals or sleeping accom
modation, ana Dig as toe crowd was
part of the time, there were ample ac
commodations tor all.
It was a subject of common remark
that more orderly crowds of people were
never seen. There was no rowdyism,
no disorder, no drunken brawls. The
visitors had plenty of money, which
they spent royally and good naturedly.
Most of the business houses did a rush
ing trade, and all did well.
The fair closed Saturday night in a
blaze of glory. At 8 o'clock, tbe hour
when Rex was expected to appear, tbe
grounds from the Washington entrance
to Federal street were packed like sar
dines. It was nearly 9 when Rex en
tered the grounds, heralded by an im
ported Chinese band. If Rex who was
none other than Mr. Strainer, dressed
in a horridly fantastic garb, with
mask with eyes that blinked fearfully
and were as large as an ordinary apple
ever revealed himself, it was later oa in
the night.
The wedding followed at a little after
9. The bridegroom. Mr. Shirley Par
ker, and bride, Miss Laura D. White, a
handsome and modest young coaple
from Wapinitia, were admitted at a side
entrance and escorted by A. E. Lake, S.
Bolton and a number of young ladles to
the band stand, where the marriage cer
emony was promptly performed by Rev.
U. F. Hawk. Alter tbe congratulations
of the minister and those immediately
present, Mr. Hawk Introduced Mr. and

who responded with hearty cheer.

THE FOOTBALL GAME.
Heppner Carried OAT tha Honora la a,
Hotlr-Conteated Game
When tbe Dalles team lined up against
the Heppner team last Saturday after
noon the general expectation was that
the visiting team would sift through tha
home team's line at will, and go off the
field with a score of at least 20 to 0 in
their favor. After five minutes of play
it was very apparent to everyone tbat
the game was to be close and very fierce
ly contested.
Heppner got the kick-off and the ball
was run in by Mays. A guards' back
play was tried ; the ball fumbled, and
within ten minutes after play com
menced Heppner sent right half Natter
around the right end for a touch-dowo,
from which Spaolding kicked a pretty
goal, making tbe score 60 in Hepp
ner's favor. The ball was' kept in
Heppner's territory during tbe remain
der of the balf, and time was called with
tbe ball on tbeir ten-yard line.
In tbe second half the ball was car
ried np and down tbe field, neither goal
being in danger, nntil within a few min
utes of tbe call of time. Natter waa
sent around the end for a .'gain of forty
yards, being the prettiest run of the
day. The next down Heppner fumbled
and The Dalles got the ball, probably
preventing another touch-down. Time
was called with the ball on Tbe Dalles
twenty-yard line.
Tbe boys of tbe visiting team played a
good, clean and gentlemanly game, their
playing at all times being very conspicu
ous on account of the absence of any
attempt at fouling or bruising. Tbe
best playing on tbe visiting team waa
done by Capt. Clark, Spaulding, Young
and Natter.
The Dalles team was an im prompt a
organization, captained by Max J. Bar
tell, of Manila, P. I., and played like
fury, the distinguishing features
being the defensive work by Fisher,
Mays and Ward and the line bucking of
Cooper. The three center men played
a good steady game, especially Brown,
whose passing was always sure. Both,
teams showed a decided lack of organ
ized team work.
