MITCHELL RETURNS THANKS.
He Kindly Remembers the Board of
Trade of The Dalles.
The president and secretary of the
Board of Trade yesterday seut to Senator
Mitchell a congratulatory telegram upon
his re-election, and to-day 'received the
following reply:
Washington. D. C, Jan. 21, 1891.
B. S. Huntington, Sec. Board of Trade:
Please accept sincere thanks for kind
congratulations and present same to
Board of Trade. John H. Mitchell.
The Tygh Mountain Road.
Surveyor E. T. Sharp has retnrned
from the Tygh Ridge country, and in
forms us he has made a preliminary sur
vey of the proposed Tygh hill road, which
the state is asked to aid in building and
finds that it can be built over the moun
tain, affording a comparatively easy
grade not exceeding eighteen inches to
the rod. He has made a lengthy report
on the road, and sets forth the advantages
to be derived by the large section of
country, already occupied by settlers in
Tygh Valley and Oak Grove in giving
them an outlet for their produce which
they are now unable to avail themselves
of. The state funds cannot be used in a
more beneficial manner than in remov
ing obstacles and opening up important
highways. Let the legislature pass the
appropriation asked.

Grapes to the Front".
Mr. Chas. Pringle the well known
New York expert in grape culture
accompanied by Geo. F. Jones of the
Portland real estate firm of Jones &
Stephens paid a visit to The Dalles yes
terday. Under escort of Mr. W, S.
Cram, these gentlemen made a careful
and painstaking investigation of our
agricultural resources, more particularly
as to the quality of the -soil for grape
raising purposes. The result is that
our slopes are pronounced by Mr. Prin
gle as adapted to this industry.
The visitors represent a syndicate con
trolling several thousand acres of land
which will be devoted to vineyard pur
poses. Mr. Pringle has 75,000 choice,
eastern roots now under shipment to
this coast and a considerable acreage
will be stocked this spring.
Has Returned to Stay.
Mr. E. K. Russell, who has located
south of The Dalles about twenty miles,
came back from California where he has
resided for ten years and "pitched tent"
in Wasco to make it his future home.
Mr. Russell has gone to work in earnest
has built a good dwelling house, barn
and other outbuildings, plowed and
sown fifty acres in wheat, fenced nearly
his entire farm, dug 1000 holes two feet
deep and four feet wide, for planting out
fruit trees, he has displayed a great deal
of energy since his arrival, which was a
few month ago. Mr. Russel thinks Ore
gon offers better advantages to the set
tler than any place he has seen, hence
his return to it.
A False Report.
The board of trade has not indorsed the
division of the county or the creation of
the new county of Cascade. It has taken
no action whatever concerning said
county considering it hardly a matter for
the board to act on. Individual mem
bers of the board very likely hold con
flicting opinions concerning county
divisions in general and this one in par
ticular, but the board has not taken
action in any shape.
At the Academy.
The close of the second term of the
school year at Wasco Academy to-morrow
will be marked by a slight departure
from the usual order of exercise.
The regular schedule will be followed
in the morning, but the afternoon session,
beginning at one o'clock, will be devoted
to rhetorical exercises interspersed with
music.
All friends of the academy are cordially
invited to be present.

It seems necessary to again call atten
tion to the fact that the much used word
"cloture," which congressmen so de
light in uttering with an infinite variety
of accents, means nothing more or less
than the "previous question." The
word is an unnecessary importation from
the French and is almost synonymous
with the English "closure.'' The de
mand for the previous question and the
stifling or "closure" of further debate is
all that is meant by the mysterious
Gallic term. Chicago Newt.
A car heating trust, resulting from the

Spurious Honey In the Northwest.
Secret Service Agent Harris returned
to this city late) Thursday evening after
an absence of about two weeks in Wash
ington and Oregon, where he had been
sent by the treasury department to look
after a gang of counterfeiters whp were
flooding that part of the country with
bad paper money. Mr. Harris was in
Portland for several days locating the
counterfeiters, who were raising five-dollar
national bank bills to $20. The work
was cleverly done, and is considered as
neat a piece of "raised' work as has yet
been seen.
The detective got a clew, and followed
his men to Whatcom, Wash., where they
were taken into custody, but were re
leased for want of sufficient evidence.
On Nov. 15, at Tacoma, Mr. Harris ran
across counterfeit ten-dollar bills with
the vignette of Daniel Webster, and had
one of the gang shadowed and arrested,
but his trial has not yet come off.
Counterfeit five-dollar pieces are also in
existence, and Mr. Harris states that the
entire country has been flooded with the
spurious coin. While in Portland Mr.
Harris arrested one Professor S. Brown
for issuing his advertisement on a bill
similar to a bank note. Brown was fined
$100. San Francisco Alta.
The Clock Stopped When He Died.
The sentimental and superstitions who
are given to tracing the laws of coin
cidences will find an interesting subject
for their attention in the recent death of
a jeweler in Bucyrus, O. For many
years it has been the office of a skillful
German watchmaker, named Frank
Kehrer, to attend to the town clock,
which is in the steeple of the court
house. During the past few months the
health of Mr. Kehrer has been poor, and
the clock, deprived of his careful atten
tion, has been keeping indifferent time.
Monday morning the timepiece Btrnck 5,
and a few moments later it stopped.
Early risers who heard the chime af
firm that there was something indescrib
ably weird and peculiar about it. Later
risers, noticing the clock hsyids pointing
to 5:05, commented upon the subject and
its aged guardian. Later in the day the
news spread that Mr. Kehrer's condition
had suddenly become worse and that he
had died at 5 K5 that morning. The hands
of the old town clock still point to the
identical time when the active mind and
skilled hand of its master were paralyzed
in death. Jewelers' Weekly.
His Half Dollar Was Glass.
A striking illustration of the quantity
of bogus coins now in circulation in this
city was given in a downtown store re
cently. A customer who had made a
small purchase tendered a fifty cent
piece in payment. The clerk pushed it
back across the counter and shook his
head. "That half dollar's a little too
new," he remarked. "What do you
mean?" demanded the customer, "ni
show you," replied the clerk, picking up
the coin and then letting it fall sharply
on the counter. The shock caused the
connterf eit to fly into fragments. It was
a glittering sham composed of glass,
with a thin veneer of metaL There
seems to be good reason for thinking
that a gang of counterfeiters and their
accomplices are working Chicago. An
astonishing quantity of bad coins is now
out among citizens, and apparently its
volume is increasing rapidly. Chicago

'Willed SIO.OOO to a Polite Bartender.
A respectable looking man, who said
he was a lawyer from Allegheny City and
administrator of the estate of Mr. Hughes,
a millionaire, who recently died there,
called at Green's hotel, Eighth and Chest
nut streets, recently, and said that he had
come to hunt np a bartender who waited
on Mr. Hughes last summer. Mr. Hughes
in his will bequeathed to the young man
$10,000. Mr. Hughes on dying did not
know the bartender's name, but gave a
full description of his appearance.
The visitor questioned all the bartend
ers about the length of time they had
been at Green's, and if they had known
Mr. Hughes. James Cleary, the head bar
tender, gave him the names and descrip
tion of all those who worked there dur
ing the past year. Philadelphia Times.
Royal Coffins Rotting.
The royal tombs in the abbey of St.
Denis, Paris, suffer considerably from
the damp, which destroys the wooden
coffins ranged on biers in the vaults.
Not long ago the Due d'Aumale obtained
permission to place the remains of his
Conde ancestors in fresh receptacles,
while last week some government offi
cials inclosed .the old worn out coffins of
Louis XVI and the Due de Berri in new
strong oaken coverings. The inner lead
coffin was quite intact, so the dead were
not disturbed. Paris Letter.
Three young men were seen to empty
the contents of a sack on a lot in San
Francisco the other day. The contents
consisted of $850 counterfeit silver dol
lars. Some children found the coins,
and in a short time that section of the
city was so flooded with bogus money
that even genuine silver dollars were re
fused by tradespeople.
' The opening of a bank in Hardins
burg, Ky., brought to light a $500 bill
that a farmer living near there had had
stored away in his house for twenty
years. This amount put out at simple
interest for that length of time would
have brought the owner $600.
The wreck register for twelve months
