...Bicycles With Wings.
The nearest approach to flying yet attained. The experts who perfect
ed and the makers who produced the Chainless Bicycle are public bene
factors. No noise. No breaks. No friction caused by exposed driving
parts. No attention necessary. "You buy the wheel the Columbia
Chainless does the rest." Not an hour of time taken to keep the Chainloss
in order for a year. More durable. More handsome in appearance. Less
expensive "in the end." Absolutely satisfactory under all conditions of
- use. The Columbia Chainless stands tonay as the greatest achievement of
America's oldest and most modern and complete bisycle factory. "You
see them everywhere." They are

An Interesting . LetterBoys Living
High and Having a Good Time.
A.E.Howell, who is now with the
Oiegon Ci y volunteers at Cavite, writes
very interesting letter to his brother,
Garr Howell, in this city, from which
t! e following extracts are taken :
He says that everyone is all right and
feeling well.
We had a pretty hard time of it at
fmt, but now we have settled down,
and are having a snap.
The second expedition has . arrived
here already, and the fiit boat of the
third is expected here today or tomor
row. I v.-ry tlay we run from our harracks
ever lo the wall. It is about 300 yards,
and colonels, majors and all, try to get
their first.
Adjutant Kelly told mo yesterday
that the Oiegon troops wouldn't see the
battle, except what tin v could tee from
here, and tout we would be extremely
lui ky if we seen it at all.
lesteruay was general inspection,
and last night was dress parade in the
presence ot General Merritt,
triday, we signed the pay roll, and
whether we will get any money or not,
1 can't tell, but our caotain informs us
that we will be paid Monday. It will
be -mr first payday.
There are 11 Spanish warships and
three fleets that have gone to the laces.
The Baltimore put in her best licks, and
eot some of the best ones. She was hit
eight times, but only one took effect.
In speaking of the battle of Manilla,
one of ihe natives said that he told the
Spaniards to look out, "Yankee come."
but they said they didn't care. He said
that Dewey stood outside of the harbor
Saturday night, and at 6 o'clock be be
gan to boom his cannon on Ihe Spanish
vessels in Manilla harbor, and by 10
o'clock the smoke was clear,
Three Spaniards, who are priaone s
ol the natives came over and wanted to
join the United S'ates army. The
tpanisli prisoners here under the na
tives, are about half starved, as they
don't et anything to eat but rice, wa
ter and hardtack, which they have to
break with a piece of iron. Our prison
ers, however, are given the same food
ttat we eat.
The natives here have made two at
tempts to take the governor tjiat we
caji ureu at me uuam isianus.
At night wi.en a native gels too closp
to the lines the sentinel cries "Halt,"
and the native replies "ohilliiiino.
muche wir.io. " If a second halt is nec
essary, the native replies phillipino
three times, and winda up with muche
winio.
"We have soldiers enough to takn Ma
nilla and hold it, but we haven't anv
guns to reach one fort; that is why we
are waiting for the Monterey,
The plan of ths attack on Manilla is
to put the California, Colorado and
Idaho boys on the right, and the New
York, Texas and Penn. troops on the
left, and those remaining will be placed
at the north, and, if we go at all, we
will hind under the fire of Dewey's
guns right, in the city. However; I
think the Oregon troops and Vancou
ver boys will remain at Cavite.
We have splendid diversions almost
everyday. We take walks out to the
seashore, gather shells, and from there
we go to the banana fi d Is.
We don't miss our Oregon rains, for
it rains here about eight hours every
dav. and it .pours down t).
We drill Uice a day from 6 to 7 a m,
and from 5 to (i n rn. We have three
meals a lny. For breakfast we have
slapjacks, syrup and I enfruit; for din
ner, either rice or beai'S and bread; for
supper, horse meat stew and potatoes,
and every other dav frtsh meat, which
comes from Australia.
We have a ereat time at night. We
have splendid barracks and plenty of
eveiything, but the water, and mnequi
tog aie a fright. We don't drink any
thing but that, and can't drink that
until it is boiled.
A hi u' t!ie only sickness that we have
here is diarrhea, and everybody has a
chance at that
Way Finds His Way Out.
Lyman Way, of Portland, had served
out a six days' sentence in the city jail
for assault, and the officers were hold
ing him on a charge of disorderly con
duct. As Monday was a legal holiday,
he had to be held until Tuesday for a
hearing. Way occupied a cell in the
upper stoiy of the building. Chief
Burns left the key of the cell door on a
table in the front room and went out
for a few minutes, expecting to return
soon and hold a conversation w'th Way
regarding the charge pending against
him. While Chief Burns was gone
Way evidently obtained possession of
the key by moans of a stick, and un
locking the cell went down stairs and
hid behind the front door until Burns
returned, and while the latter was go
ing up stairs made his escape through
the open doorway. When last seen
Way was making his way up the alley
at a lively rate.

;The officers are now making a deter
mined effort to prosecute the individuals,
who have been killing fish in the Moklla
by' the wholesale through the means of
giant powder. On Friday Constable
McCown arrested Bird Lamb and Ed
Ball on a charge of killing fish in the
Molalla with dynamite. On Saturday
they were . arraigned before Justice
Schuebel, and Lamb pleaded guilty to
the charge, and was fined $25, which
was paid. On motion of Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Dimick the charged
against Ball was dismissed. Constable
McCown scoured the countiy in search
of oi hers implicated, but they have
evidently skipped out tor the mountains.
There is no doubt but that quite a num
ber were implicated in killing trout and
other fish in that stream, but a few fines
will have a tendency to check this out
lawry in the future. One man reports
having seen at least 500 dead trout on
one shallow bar in the Molnlia.
