V (Journal Special Service.)
VANCOUVER, Waen.. July 24. The
Ire that partially destroyed the barn of
the Eighth battery yesterday was f ol
lowed by another smaller blase early
tins morning-, the quarters of the Eighth
Battery being- the scene this time. The
fie la said to have started in a bunk
and caused little damage, the battery
members extinguishing It before the fire
company could respond.
i Details of this latest (Ire are hard to
Obtain and a sudden silence seems to
- nave settled over the officers and men
of the battery. Subordinate officers re
ferred unanimously to Lieutenant
Mitchell, commanding officer of the bat
tery, and Lieutenant Mitchell paused
only long .enough to remark that there
was no damage, before he disappeared
In the Inner office.
. 1 The fact that two flres, both occurring
on Eighth Battery ground and both
eomlng at times when usually no one
was near, excited some comment among
the men of the garrison, but several
who were In close touch with doings of
the battery gave a reason, not only for
the flres, but for the reticence of the
Officers. These say that the Are this
morning was of Incendiary origin and
that a quiet Search is being carried on
to discover the culprit, who is also
Charged with the blaze of yesterday.
- Members of the battery, who usually
ire willing to report local happenings,
are determinedly silent and If a private
ukase has been issued no greater
Secrecy could be obsrved; behind the
jpuarters. where privates unbosom them
selves to their fellows, the atmosphere
was clearer and the origin of the fire
today was clearly stated to be incendiary.
LOGGER SEVERS AN
ARTERY AND LIVES
Rides Six Miles With Blood
- Flow Unchecked, Remains
Conscious and Cool,
VANCOrVER, Wash.. July 24.
Pierce Trent, a longer working In -a
camp on Salmon Cr:ek, six miles north
of this place, had a narrow esonpe this
morning and would have Mod to death
had he not been possessed of an unusual
Vitality that enabled him to stand a
severe Bhork.
'While Trent was enlping piles he
gashed his leg with an axe and severed
the main artery. His companions made
every effort to top the flow of blood by
binding whip lashes and handkerchiefs
above and below the cut, but their ef
forts failed to even check the stream.
Trent was placed in a waon and
driven here and for the six long miles
the blood dripped from the wagon and
formed a pool on the bottom of the bed.
Dr. Black attended Trent after his ar-
rival and though he was weak from
his loes of blood, Trent was not un
conscious and stoically bore the cleans
ing and stichlng of the wound. Trent
Is half Indian by birth and to this
strain the doctor attributes his surviv
ing the long racking ride and great loss
of blood. No especially serious results
art expected from the. accident. .'
Mays Wife jDessrtad.
. VANCOUVER, " Wash., July 14.
Emanuel Jensn-ASs filed In the Su

ant. Jensen asks for the care of three
minor children and the ownership of a

family. The couple were married In
Portland in January, 1889.

VANCOUVER. Wash.. July 24. The
annual pilgrimage of the American
tramp is sending docens of hungry
tourists through this place and for tha
last month the police force has been oc

"more on" order is the one enforced
here and no arrests are made for mere
vagrancy, as the local funds do not per

(Journal Special Service.)
rrtTTAOE OROVE. July 24. The Ore

received the new coach for its pas
senger service. A feature was made of
its first run today. The road has also
n the past few days received ana is now
nloadlng and distributing a snipmem "i
2ftd tons of steel rails irom uernmuj.
The construction gang at the front is
workine slowly but Burely, under aim-
cultles, and the road will be finished this
season as far as Warehouse, a distance
if about 10 miles rrom tne oase ui
he mountains leading up to the famous
Bohemia mines, and about 29 miles from
his cltv. The great activity in tne
mines this season is being felt in this
ity, as this Is the base of supplies lor
the entire region. - Every line of busi
ness here gets some benefit from this
source and a great many of our people
re interested In the development or tne
liferent properties in thak camp.
Lee Henry, secretary or tne WKoy
Mining Company, one or tne pioneer
ompanles of the Bohemia district, is
ust back from a ten days trip to the
rouertles of that company and reports
not only his own company as pushing
work rapidly, but that on every property
as many men as can d useu iu au-
vantage are at work doing development
work and making other Improvements
necessary to make the properties wealth
producers. Mr. Henry made as many as
40 camera views while in the camp.
The Oregon Securities Company alone
is spending $5,000 on the construction
of a wagon road from the Champion
Ilasin to its mines, which are now and
have been for years heavy producers.
This company Is also at the present time
putting in an electric light plant, in
creasing its mill capacity by many
stamps and otherwise spending a mint of
money to Improve properties.
President Lloyd of the Crystal Con
solidated Mining Company Is now In San
Francisco for the purpose of buying a
10-stamp mill and sawmill machinery to
produce the necessary lumber for the
mill building and mine timbers. This
company is composed almost entirely j
of local capital.
Immense Crowd on Hand at
Gladstone Park to Hear
Champ Clark,
(Journal Special Service.)
OREOON CITY, July 24 There was
a big crowd at the Chautauqua yester
day, but the prospects are for a bigger
one today, despite thredtenlag waather.
Almost everyone from this city and
hundreds from the surrounding country
are on iiand to hear Champ Clark, the
Missouri Congressman, deliver his lec
ture this afternoon, while an unusual
number from Portland are in evidence.
The subject of the Congressman's lec
ture la advertised as "Rich as (Jol
conda." In the official program, but the
subject has been changed and he will
now speak on "Picturesque Public Men.
An address was delivered this morn
ing on "Church Flnancea," by Hon. W.
W, Cotton of Portland. This evening
Ht a o cjock Kan uermaine, tne wizara,
will be the attraction. His entertain
ment last evening waa attended by
very large crowd, which waa duly ap
preciatlve.
The baseball game yesterday after
noon between Oregon City and the Van
couver Maroons resulted In a score of
11 to ( in favor of the Maroons. The
Oregon City team had the game well In
hand up to the seventh Inning, when it
began making wild throws and Inexcusa
ble errors. Oregon City made more
errors than hits, getting a total of
7. The Vancouver team made 8 errors
and 1 hita. The game was witnessed
by a large number of people, but it was
really one of the poorest exhibitions of
ball playing that has been seen at the
Chautauqua during the meeting.
One of the leading attractions for to
morrow is a lecture by Kev. Mr.
Brougher of Tennessee, on the subject
of "How to Be Happy Though Married,
It is confidently predicted that to
morrow's session will be a red letter
day with the Chautauqua. If the attrac
tion of Champ Clark and the added at
traction of fireworks at night fall to
bring out an immense crowd the man
agers will be very much disappointed.
The Chemawa Indian School Is also ad
vertised to render a program at 11
o'clock in the morning. Governor Cham
berlain will attend tho meeting tomor
row night and will deliver an Intro
ductory address.

BAKER CITY HAS
PLENTY OF WOOL
But the Clip There Is Dirty and
Does - Not Demand
Good Prices.
(Journal Special Service.) v
BAKER CITY. July 24. Wool In Ore
gon has all been sold except that now
contained in Baker City warehouses. Mil
lions of tons have been shipped out of
the wool belt and taken to tha East
and in other sections of the state there
are small quantities of wool In storage,
but even these have been sold and Baker
City is alone the magnet attracting
woolbuyers. But while it haa the only
wool, Baker City also haa the oirtiest
wool.
The Baker City wool runs 71 per cent
in dirt and grease, which leaves only 28
pounds of wool out of every 100 pounds
purchased. The price of scoured wool
now in Boston Is about 45 cents' and to
pay more than 11 cents a pound for 72
per cent wool in the grease would not be
justifiable according to the Ideas of the
purchasers.
When asked why Baker City wools
were so much dirtier this year than last
it waa stated that the only reason ap
parent was that so many clips were made
in the same camp by electrical machln
ery- This necessitated tne driving or
mhny large flocks over the same trail.
Increasing the dust and dirt to a very
appreciable degree. It was added that
this might be found in the future
detriment to shearing by electrical
machinery unless the camps were fre
quently moved from place to place.
There la 1.000.000 pounds of wool In
Baker City untouched and from present
prospects it will remain here, as buyers
and sellers do not seem to agree.
RIGHT OF WAY FOR
THE PORTAGE ROAD
(9
Engineer Hammond 4 in The
Dalles for Purpose of Con
summating Project
(Journal Special Service.)
THE DALLES, July 24. Engineer
Hammond arrived here yesterday for the
purpose of securing the right of way
for the proposed Portage Railroad. He
expects no trouble with the owners of
the propertly along the road, except
where the portage will run over the
O. R. & N. Co.'s right of way, as this
company is against the project.
The action of the O. R. & N In re
fusing to furnish Mr. Hammond with the
boundaries of their right of way caused
no surprise here, and further trouble
from the railroad Interests is expected.
The railroads have always worked
against all projects which were of Inter
est to the entire eastern part of the
state, except when It was to their Inter
est.
Little Is thought of the railroad try
ing to use all in Its power to delay the
portage by forcing It off Its right of
way, where it will be necessary to run
over, by compelling the state to bring
condemnation suits and receiving a large
verdict by claiming it will interfere with
the running of trains and betterments.
All such cases will be tried in the Cir
cuit Court here, and the feeling for the
railroad in. Wasco County is not of .the
best.-' The court being up to date on
work, no delay will result from this
source. The chances are the railroad
would receive nothing for its trouble at
he hands of a Wasco County Jury.
MORTON BODY RECOVERED
(Journal Special Service.)
ONTARIO, Or., July. 24. The remains
of Reuben Morton, who was drowned
in the Owyhee River near the mouth of
Dry Creek, about 40 miles southeast of

The remains were Interred in the On
tario Cemetery at 10 a. jn. yesterday.
The deceased was a son of J. A. Mor
ton and a member of one of the most

ily to lose life by drowning. A sister

UTAH'S NATAL DAY
(Journal Special Service.)
SALT LAKE CITY. July 24. This is
day that always fills the minds of
the people of Utah with Interesting
reveries, as it marks the anniversary of
the day when In' 1847 the pioneers, after
march of great privation across the
desert, reached the land that was des
tined to be their home. The day waa
observed in Salt Lake as a general holi
day, stores and offices being closed and

Cut Down
(Journal Special Service.)
ASTORIA, Or., July 24. There la
much mystery surrounding the shooting
of William Black, an Ilwaeo saioonman,
wounded In the stomach Thursday night
W. W. B. Hewen, prosecuting attorney
for Paolfio County, Wash., has been in
this city consulting the Injured man In
the effort to obtain some clue to the
perpetrators of the crime. Black waa
brought here for treatment
It waa almost midnight when the
shooting occurred. Black being at
tracted to a r$ar door by a noise. Two
shots were fired through the door, one
taking effect in hla stomach.
"Doc" Wlnneld waa arrested on a
charge of assault with Intent to kill.
but his friends protested that he was
not !n Ilwaeo at the time of the shoot
ing and he was released- from custody.
Mr. Hewen consulted with Black about
the matter. The wounded man Insists
that he reoognited Winfield as one of
his assailants, and that he also recog
nised the other man, who, he alleges.
was Dick O'Brien. Black had some
trouble with Winfleld once, but not with
O'Brien.
Prosecuting Attorney Hewen left As
toria after the consultation and stated
that he would cause tha re-arrest of
Winfleld. An effort will also be made
to arrest O'Brien. Black Is not nearly
so badly hurt as waa .at first thought
and he will doubtless be able to return
to Ilwaeo tomorrow. On his arrival
there he will assist the state In Its
prosecution of the two suspects.
Vrloa of Fish Out.
ASTORIA, Or., July 24. Testerday
afternoon the Sanborn-Cutting Packing
Company reduced the price of flsh to 6
cents flat This price Is now paid by
the company for all sixes of fish. A
few days ago J. G. Megler of Brookfleld
reduced the price from 8 to 6 cents, but
the price was immediately restored, as
the cut was due to a misapprehension.
None of the other packers on the
river have followed the example set by
Mr. Sanborn, and 6 cents Is still paid
by them for flsh weighing, ovep' 26
pounds. Sanborn has no cold storage
plant, while most of the other canners
have. The large fish all go Into cold
storage. It is this which has doubtless
prompted Sanborn to make the cut.
AH other packers stated-that- they- had:
no Immediate Intention of reducing tha
price of flsh. The demand for pickled
fish is so brisk that they can well afford
to pay 6 cents for the large salmon.
and until such time as the July run
enters the river the present prices will
unquestionably be maintained.
Echo to the same place. There will bo
700 head of the second shipment and
they will all be taken to the Alberta dls
trict to sell to the new oomera there
who are In need of horses to help them
In the Improvement of their holdings.
The government is also looking for
horses for the cavalry service, but it Is
hard to please Its agents. The general
run of the range stock is too small for
the use of tha government service, so
very few of the horses offered for In
spection are taken. It Is only from the
bands that have been specially bred by
tha owner with a view to improving his
stock that the government men can pick
their mounts.
TmatlUa Wheat
From the reports that are coming
from the harvest fields of the county.
the wheat is yielding . from 12 to 86
bushels to the acre with a general aver
age of about 20 bushels, taking the re
ports aa they come from all the different
aectlons of the county. This will give
Aha farmers mora than a two thirds
crop, and as tha market is opening at
87 and 63 cents for tha grain, the
growers are feeling a little better than
they were a few weeks ago when they
thought the crop was a failure. If the
yield la over tha two thirds mark and
the price is 62 cents or better, the
wheat men of the county will be better
off in the end than they would with the
full crop and the price at 60 cents.

(Journal Speolal Service.)
GRANTS PASS, July 24. A big placer
mining enterprise la under way by a
company of Colorado men, headed by F. '
G. Leigh, and consists in driving a tunnel
under Silver Creek Falls of Western
Josephine County to tap a vast aurifer
ous basin brought down aa a slide from
the mountainside above and filling: the
original Silver Creek Canyon. " This,
filling is rich in gold, but on account of
the peculiar manner in whloh the ground
lies, can only be reaohed by tunneling
under the falls. This the Colorado men -are
doing. They began their big work
last summer, being obliged to abandon It
during the winter. They are now busy
again and hope to have a good share of
the big Job done by the close of the
summer.
By the running of thla tunnel there
would be opened up many acres of ex
