Day Bros, will resume dredging at
the upper end of the locks as soon as
the water falls two feet more. The
date when they will begin building the
walls of the inner part of the oanal has
not been decided upon, as no orders

A trip through the hop-growing dis
tricts around Brownsville shows that
the aoreage will not be quite as large
as last year, but the quality has every
indioation of being first-class. The
yards which have been cultivated shows
an abundance of young hops on the
vines, and as yet they are free from
pests of all kinds.
A blaok bear, that had killed sheep
in King valley, was killed last week
by George Neithamer. Brnin weighed
400 pounds. The neighbors of Mr.
Iteithamer were so elated over the de
struction of the bear that they eaoh
presented the hunter with a sheep
apiece, and he is now possessed of
about fourteen head.
A departure from the old custom of
threshing machine men boarding with
the farmer has been made in Lake

a kitchen on wheels, whioh can be
hauled around with the machine, and
it costs the farmer only for the thresh
dug. It is a novel idea and one whioh
will undoubtedly become popular

PEOPLE'S PARTY TICKET.
Basalt ef tbe Fusion In the Stats of
Washing-ton.
Last week, at Ellontburg, the Demo
crats. Populisti and free silver Repub
licans of the state of Washington held
their respective conventions. After
much debate and oonoessiont on the
part of the three conventions, a com
bined ticket to be called the "People's
Party" ticket, was agreed upon and
placed In the field. It it at follows:
For governor John R. Rogers, of
Pieroe, Populist
For lieutenant-governor Thurston
Daniels, of Clarke, Populist.
For secretary of state Will D. Jen
kins, of Whatcom, Populist.
For state auditor Neal Cheatham,
of Whitman, Populist.
For state treasurer C. W. Young,
of Whitman, Populist.
For commissioner of publio lands
Robert Bridges, of King, Populist.
For justioe of the supreme court
John B. Reavis, of Yakima, Democrat
For attorney-general Patrick Henry
Winston, of Spokane, Silverite.
For state printer Gwin Hickt, of
Thurston, Demoorat.
For superintendent of publio instruc

For congressmen James Hamilton

For presidential electors H. N.
Caton, of Whitman, Demoorat; I. N.
Maxwell, of Whatcom, Democrat;
Charles E. Cline, of Whatcom, Popu
list; B. A. Newman, of Spokane, Pop
ulist Deinoorutio Platform.
Following are the three platforms
adopted at Ellensburg:
"Section 1. The representatives of
the Democrntio party of the state of
Washington, in convention assembled,
do hereby reaffirm our allegiance to the
principles of the party as formulated
by Thomas Jefferson and firmly main
tained by Andrew Jackson. We be
lieve that a constant reourrenoe to those
fundamental principles of a free and
popular government, based upon indi
vidual liberty and the consent of the
govorned, is necessary, especially when
the ooutrol of this government threat
ens to fall into the hands of aristoo
raoy, monopoly and despotism.
"See 2. We greet with hearty ap
proval the new declaration of indepen
dence enunoiated by the Democracy of
the United States of Amerioa at the re
cent convention in Chioago; indorse
every prinoiple of its platform, and
pledge onr united support to the candi
dates there selected. We reoognize in
the nomination of William Jennings
Bryan and Atthnr Sewall an inspira
tion from the Supreme Ruler of Na
tions, by whose favor our oonntry has
passed through every honr of trial and
of peril and baa ever found leaders
equal to the oocasion, grand as the op
portunity, sufficient to the struggle,
great as the greater need required.
"Sec 8. We demand the free and
unlimited ooinage of silver and gold at
the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting
for the consent of any other nation on
earth. We denounce the pretense of
Republican international bi-metalism
as a subterfuge; an attempt to estab
lish a gold aristooraoy with the aid of
.those who may be dnped by a meaning-
i less phrase.
"Seo. 4. We denounce the present
Republican administration of our state
as extravagant, oorrupt, scandal-breeding
and a willful abuse of the people's
rights. With a pretense of honoring
the memory of the great names of cham
pions of the people, it now bows down
to political bosses and has not enrolled
upon its banner the name of any man
unsubservient to the dictates of the
money power.
"Seo. 5. We oall the attention of
the common people to the perpetuation
in our state of the gigantio Repulbican
ring, which uses the publio patronage
to control future elections to perpetu
ate itself in the oontrol of the publio
purse; uses the gigantio earnings of
corporations (by the methods of Federal
receiverships) to diotate the election of
our representatives in oongress and the
senate; abuses the franchise of the pub
lio press by opening the oolumns of its
newspapers to but one side of publio
discussions; demands of and receives
from its votaries absolute prostitution
of individual liberty to the dictates of
machine politicians.
"Seo. 6. We invite the seriouB at
tention of the laboring olasset in our
state to the attempted oontrol of the
elective franchise by threats on the part
of the Republican leaders. They do
not hesitate to threaten their employes
with discharge unless they submit to a
sale of the free voting right guaranteed
them by the constitution. Nor will
they stop at threats, but will openly
carry out the shameful abuse of power
unless checked by the righteous indig
nation of a free people.
"Seo. 7. We pledge the people of
this great state that when given the
control of its government we will re
duce the burden of state taxation to the
lowest limit consistent with a juBt and
careful administration of the govern
mental functions. We will stop the
present squandering of the great pub
lio domain. We will, so far as now
remains possible, use the publio lands
for the benefit of the whole people, and
not for the purpose of pulling the
purse-strings of private corporations.
We will reduce the burdens laid upon
production by the greed of transporta
tion companies, aided by legislation
purchased from Republican legisla
tures. To this end we favor a law pro
viding for freight rates not exceeding
those of the Helm bill, and we favor a
8-cent per mile passenger fare. We
will endeavor to make possible the car-
; rying out of our system of publio
' schools, now closed at the result of Re
j publican extravagance. 'Free common
schools are the nursery of good govern
ment' They should when necessity
I demands, be preserved even at the ex-
pense of every other function of govern
ment The Republican oontrol of the
towns, oitiet, oountiet and ttate bat re
sulted in the bankruptcy of our sohool
dlttrioti, and we demand the ovethrow
of tuoh oontrol. .
"Seo. 8. We condemn the refusal of
the Republican party of thit ttate to
divide it into congressional districts,
and pledge our party to fair division of
the same.
"Seo. 9. We oondemn onr present
election lawa, contrived to throttle op
position to the ring in power; pledge
onr party to their unconditional repeal,
and the enactment of inch lawt at will
enable eaoh voter to vote at be pleases
and bave tuoh vote counted.
"Sea 10. Whereat, the railroad
companies of thit state bave from time
to time issued free pssset to legislators
and other publio offloert, thereby influ
enoing tbeir aotion, we demand that
the legislators shall promptly past ade
quate lawt to enforoe the constitutional
provision against the granting of free
passes to publio offloert and the nse of
tame by mob officers.
Seo. 11. We demand better lawt in
relation to mortgage foreclosures; the
abolition of deficiency judgments, and
that the possession and nse of real prop
erty remain in the mortgagor during
the full period of redemption. Pro
vided: That such laws shall not inter
fere with the obligation of existing con
tracts. "Seo. 12. We pledge ourselves to
place before the people amendments to
the contstitution reforming the present
extravagant judicial system and system
of state commissions.
"We reoognize in the ooming elec
tion a crisis in the affairs of govern
ment. Free government is self-government
We are threatened with a de
struction of the principle of self-government
The national banks, the
transportation and manufacturing cor
porations, the gold manipulators of
Wall street and Lombard street olaim
the right to govern us. Demooraoy
wears no collar; it serves no master; it
has on its side tho plain, every-day peo
ple of the country and state, and to
tbem we appeal with an unquestioning
belief that in this hour of trial and
tribulation right will oonquer, wrong
will be dethroned, ever-controlling
masses will overthrow olasses, the peo
ple will again assume authority and
pre iperity return, heralded by the an
nouncement of a 'v-overnment of the
people, by the people and for the peo
ple. "
The Populist Platform.
"We, the representatives of the Peo
ple's party of the state of Washington,
in convention assembled, reaffirm our
allegiance to the principles enunciated
at Omaha and St Louis, and most
heartily commend them to the favor
able consideration of all lovers of free
dom. "Firmly believing that the present
system of representative government is
inadequate, and that it enables the few
to oontrol the policy of the government
to the detriment of the interests of the
people at largo, and further believing
that no permanent relief will be pos
sible until the people oan speak more
direotly on laws whioh they are re
quired to obey, we demand that the
people shall be given a direct vote on
all important legislation, and that all
offioers shall be made the servants of
the people, subject at any time to recall
or dismissal, and not, as at present, the
masters of those who oreate tbem.
"We demand the enactment into
law of the following propositions. The
material reduction of excessive salaries
of all exeoutive, legislative and judioial
offioers; lessened freight, passenger,
telephone and telegraphio rates within
the state; the adoption of the Torrens
system of registering land titles; a
general system of non-interest bearing
warrants, receivable for taxes through
out the state; that sohool books be fur
nished to the people's pupils in our
publio sohools at the expense of the
state, that in case of sale of property
under foreclosure decrees the debtor
shall retain possession ot the property
throughout the rdemption period, and
the prohibition of defioenoy judgments,
and that the period of redmeption
shall be two years instead of one; lib
eral exemption from taxation of per
sonal property and improvements in
or upon land; that the next legislature
shall take the necoessary legal steps to
submit to theeleotors of this state to be
voted upon at the next regular election
an amendment to the state constitution,
conferring the elective franchise upon
women oitizens of this state; that the
legislature pass a law in conformity
with our state constitution making it
a felony for any oounty, city or state
officer to accept or use a railroad or
other transportation pass, and that the
law shall also be applicable to those
who offer such passes, and we condemn
all city, oounty and state officers who
may bave accepted and used such
passes as betraying the trust reposed
in them by the party and as violative
of their duties as citizens.
"We condemn the chief exeoutive of
this state for bis ill considered and un
just vetoes of the deficiency judgment
bill and the free text book bill, after
having recommended it in bis former
message."
Free SlWur Platform.
"We believe that the widespread
prostration of our industries, the de
cline in agriculture, the embarrassment
of our commerce and the ever-increasing
distress of all onr producers, the
conditions and existence of which is
admitted by all, are directly traceable
to a contraction of the currency result
ing from the demonetization of silver,
and we demand the immediate restora
tion of silver by a law requiring its
free, unlimited and independent coin
age at the present legal ration of 16 to
1 at our mints. We call the attention
of the publio to the fact that the people
of the United States produce and con
sume of all the important products of
industry more than one-half as much
at all the balance of the earth com
bined; that the tonnage of our rail
roads exceedt by 60,000,000 tons an
nually the tonnage of all the foreign
railroadi added to the entire water
trafflo of the world, and that at a oon.
tequenoeof tuoh enormous industrial
energy our people annually transaot
fully one-third of the entire volume of
the world's business, and we therefore
denounce at cowardly, pusillanimous
and on-American the declaration of the
national Republican platform that thit
oonntry oannot regulate ltt own finan
cial system without foreign aid or in
terference, and regard the suggestion
of an international agreement at in
tinoere and oontemptlble, and we de
mand the repeal of any and all lawt
antborizing the destruction of the legal
tender quality of money by private
contract
"We demand the foreclosure of the
mortgage held by the government on
the Union Paolfio railroad, and should
the government, through suoh fore
closure oome into the ownership and
possession of the same, we favor its
operation by the government"
RAN INTO A TRUCK.
Motorman at Bufl'alo Makes a Distressing-
Blunder.
Buffalo, N., Y. Aug. 18. Early thit
morning fire trnok No. 6, with a crew
consisting of Lieutenant Hedden and
seven firemen, while responding to an
alarm, collided with a trolley oar at the
oorner of Woltz avenue and Sycamore
street. The truck was stretched aoroBs
the street-oar traok when the trolley,
which was running at full speed,
struck it. Every fireman on the truck
was injured. John F. Clark was
pinned under the wreck and crushed
to death, his lungs being perforated by
the round of a ladder. Fred Jackey
went under the truck and received oon
cussion of the spine. He oannot re
cover. The others injured are: Lieu
tenant Hedden, hip bruised; Michael
Rosenberger, loft leg sprained and con
tusions; John W. Bt clitel, arm sprain
ed; Nicholas Noellor, hip bruised; An
thony Mannard, bruised. The motor
our was smashed to pieces, but the mo
torman secaped with but slight injur
ies. Both the motorman and oonduotor
of the car have been arrested. James
Cowan, the motorman, says he heard
the fire gong but did not slow up, as
he thought be could cross the street
ahead of the truck.
TORNADO IN ALABAMA.
Fifteen Persons Killed and Others More
or Less Injured.
Selma, Ala., Aug. 18. News was re
ceived here today from AuguBtine,
Perry oounty, fourteen miles from a
telegraph Btation, that a terrible and
most destructive tornado swept over
that plaoe last evening, leveling every
thing in its path. Twelve negroes and
three white people were killed by
bonses falling in on tbem, and ten
other persons were more or less injured.
Twenty-four horses and mules were
orusbed to death by falling barns. The
tornado was followed by the heaviest
rain that hat fallen in that teotion in
fifteen years. Crooks and branohet
were converted into raging torrents,
sweeping away ootton, oorn and other
orops, oausing heavy losses to planters.
DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.
This Was the Time the Desperadoes
Were Captured.
Detroit, Aug. 18. A speoial to the
Free Press from Charlotte, Mioh., says:
"A special stook train whioh went
east on the Chioago & Grand Trunk at
12:80 last night was boarded by four
men at tseuevue, tnirteen mues west
of here, all masked and heavily armed,
and at the point of their guns oompelled
the two men in charge of the stock to
empty their pockets of all money, and
a number other artioles of amall value.
The robbera escaped, but were all
captured by a posse this afternoon, and
lodged in jail here. They gave their
names as James O'Donnell, Frank
Wright, Ed Marlow and Frank Edison,
and ages from 18 to 22 years.
Durrant Said to Hare Been Insane.
San Franoisco, Aug. 18. The latest
theory in oonnection with Theodore
Durrant is that be was insane at the
time be committed the murders of
Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams,
in the Emanuel Baptist chnrob. Some
time previous to the murders, he was
sick and oonfined to bis room for six
wef ks, being delirious part ot this
period. His friends now say he had
not recovered from this attack at the
time he committed the murders. It is
still uncertain when the supreme oourt
will consider bis appeal, which is now
formally before that body. Dorrant's
attendants at the oounty jail ridioule
the idea of insanity.
Fearful Heat In Texas.
Dallas, Tex., Aug. 18. The sun
went down last night upon a parched
and withered earth, the mercury regis
tering 105. It came np boiling hot
this morning, and at 10 o'clock reached
105. At 10:30 tho mercury registered
108 degrees, the hottest weather on rec
ord for this section. Men panted like
tired hounds from the chase, and
sought in every way to avoid the intol
erable heat. At 11 o'clock a little
shower of rain with a gust of wind
came up, and gave the people relief.
This was the closing day of the most
extraordinary best period ever experi
enced in Texas.
Loss of 100,000 bjr fire.
Creckford, III, Aug. 18. Fire gut

THE SALMON PACK
Output Not Much Affected by
the Strike.
PROBABLY REACH 450,000 CASES
Oannerymea Made Out Far Better Than
The Expected -An Excellent
Duality of Fish
Notwithstanding the fishermen's
strike, whioh wat prolonged through
two of the five months' salmon season
just ended, the oatoh thit year com
pares favorably with that of other
yeart, and will not be more than 60,
000 oases short of last year's pack.
The pack this year, according to the
best information, will probably reach
450,000 oases, the greater portion of
whioh was made after July 1, at
againat 605,000 caaet paoked in 1895.
The cannerymen made out far better
than they expeoted, owing to the
strike, and are especially congratulat
ing tnemselves npon the extraordinary
fine quality of fish whioh hat made up
the great bulk of the oatoh.
If the outlook for marketing tho
pack wat only better, there would be
no regrets associated with the past
season. Unfortunately, the unsettled
financial oondition has affected the
buyers, and George Taylor, of Taylor,
Young & Co., stated that Eastern pur
chasers who formerly plaoed orders for
1,000 oases are now oontenting them
selves with 60 and 100 oases. As a
oonsequonce, the pack will move
rather slowly.
The groat bulk will go East, though
a considerable portion will go abroad.
The British ship Sutherlandshire, in
port at Portland, it loading salmon for
England, and a good proportion of the
paok it being forwarded to San Fran
cisoo to be shipped from that po t.
At the ruling market prices, the
pack, when sold, will bring, in round
figures, $2,700,000 into this section.
Prices, however, are not at good at
those obtained last season. The tend
ency of the oannerymen this year bat
been toward fanoy paoking, and, in
the opinion of some, this has been
rather overdone, and will certainly
affeot t) prices of flats and ovals.
The strike was somewhat of a benefit
early in the season to the packers at
Eagle Cliff and vioinity. Through the
inaotivity at Ilwaoo and Astoria tbey
secured more than their usual propor
tion of fiBh. That the strike was not
a success while it lasted is evidenoed by
the faot that in tbe neighborhood ot
160,000 oaset were paoked up to June
20, when tbe striken began fishing.
Among the canneries that paoked dur
ing tbe strike were . tbe Eureka and
Epionre Paoking Companies, Hapgood,
J. W. Cook & Co., Seaborg't cannery
at Ilwaoo, William Hume at Eagle
Cliff, and MoGowan at Chinook.
There was no fishing on tbe upper
river nntil after the strike, when F.
M. Warren and MoGowan made large
packs, very considerably more than
last year. Around The Dalles, though,
the oatoh was not at good at bad been
expeoted, and tbe paok wat only me
dium. Tbe teason hat been an extraordinary
one in many respects. Very few, if
any, bluebaoks and steelheads were
oaught, the salmon being all ohiuooks,
and far finer and fatter fish, on the
average than have been taken in the
river in years, and as the run was very
large and steady, inoreasing so the last
week of the season that the river was
full of fish, the oannerymen were for
tunately able to make up the anticipat
ed shortage. The oatoh proved the
truth of the saying among the Colum
bia river flthermeu that more than half
of tbe paok is to oome after July 1. In
faot, the fish were to plentiful the last
few days of the season that tbe paokers
out the prioe down to 8 J cents per
pound, thereby precipitating a small
strike.
Notwithstanding its superiority, the
Columbia river fish will euoounteroou
siderable opposition from the Alaska
and British Columbia salmon. The
Alaska fiBh it much inferior in quality,
but, on account of itt low prioe, it finds
a good sale. The British Columbia
fish is also affecting the market for Co
lumbia river salmon in England, as it
is good in quality and packed by the
most approved applianoes, while it is
sold at a lower figure. The prestige of
tbe Columbia river pack, however, will
sell it in any market
Fire In Penitentiary,
Cedar Rapids, la., Aug. 14. Fire
in the Ansmosa penitentiary started at
9 o'clock in tbe cellar of the prison
dining room. In a short time the fire
was beyond oontrol, and the entry
building was destroyed, including a
large library of 8,000 volumes. Tbe
loss will be $20,000. Tbe fire was
brought under control about 1 1 o'clock,
and no difficulty with tbe prisoners
was experienced.
Arms for Abyssinia Captured.
Cairo, Aug. 14. An Italian man-of-war
baa captured off tbe coast of
Erythrea the Dutch steamer Doelwyk,
laden with 84,000 rifles, which are
supposed to be of Belgian manufacture
and which were destined for Abyssinia.
The steamer and cagro will be taken to
the prize court at Massowah.
Monterey, CaL. Aug. 14 For the
first time the stranded bt Paul bas to
day looked at though she was a wreck,
for all the ropet, tackle, spars, etc.,
were removed and taken aboard the
Santa Cruz. Tbe divers having made
tbeir final report to tbe insurance in
spector, the steamer will soon be left
to ber fate. Tomorrow work will be
commenced on tbe removal of tbe ma
chinery. The lost to Goodall, Perkins
& Co. will be between $30,000 and
$40,000.
PORTLAND MARKETS.
Business thus far for the month of
August hat been very satisfactory, con
sidering tbe untoward oircamstanoet
which at present beset the oommerolal
world. Country business hat tlaokened
a little sinoe tbe first of the month, but
tbe oity and lower river trade oontinuet
good. Wheat and wool remain almost
lnaotive. Tbe salmon season just
olosed wat an extraordinary one, and,
although nearly balf of tbe period al
lowed for fishing wat lost by a strike, a
phenomenal run of fish bat brought the
paok up to wtlhln about 10 per cent of
latt year.
Wheal Market.
The new wheat orop bat not begun to
move in sufficient quantities to make a
very aotlve market, although considera
ble is ooming into tbe warehouse east
of the mountains. The ontput from
tbe Willamette valley this season will
be considerably below tbe average.
Qaotationt are. Walla Walla, 49 to
60o; Valley, 51 to 62o per bushel.
