The Times-Mountaineer Ba.id yesterday ;
"Some fortunate or unfortunate indi
. vidual, extremely modest, procured
license to marry today ; but we procured
a good cigar and do not publish the
names. And has it come to this, that
an editor can be bought with a cigar!
My, arn't some editors cheap?
The purchase of the Hunt road by the
Northern Pacific makes an open river all
the more necessary. The people will
never receive what they should for their
products as lone as thev are at the mercv
of a transporation eompahv whose soie
aim is to earn dividends on an enormous
capitalization. East Oregonian. '
It's an ill-' wind that blows nobody
good. The delayed west bound passen
ger, which was . expected today at one
o clock, but did not come at that time,
brought such a crowd of hungry waiting
passengers to the restaurant of W. H.
. Butts that they almost cleaned him out
of grub.
, The Chronicle is assured that the
company are contemplating putting an
increased force of men at the shops in
this city in the near future. The officials
have ordered estimates to be made of the
cost of putting the shops in working re
pair, and the number of hands that can
be employed without any considerable
enlargement. These estimates are on
their way today to Portland. Report
will be made that 550 men can be profit
ably employed without any enlargement.

'' the treatment of Dr. Vanderpool, yrhen
' she was attacked with pneumonia fever
to which she succumbed. She leaves a
husband and two children. . .
So it would appear now that it was
Major. Handbnry who killed the Raley
. bill. Who would have thought it? Mr.
McCoy accepted the unofficial state
ment of a man who had never surveyed
the Oregon side of the river between The
DalleB and Celilo, but who gave it as his
opinion that the building of a portage
road there would cost more than $400,
000. One excuse was about as good as
anomer, dui u mr. McCoy had not
desired to kill the bill he would have re
membered that if the people had got the
$400,000 appropriation, and it was not
found to be sufficient, they would have
got the rest.
THE CASH MUST COME.
Forfeited Lands Can Be Purchased
Not Reserved.
Dkpabtmknt of the Intkhioh,

Washington, D. C, March 6, 1891. )
Register and Receiver: ' '
Sirs : You letter of February 27th ult.
has been received. In reply you are ad-
Vised that claimants under the 3d sec
tion of the act of September 29, 1890, if
they belong to either of the classes
therein provided for, have two years
from the date of the promulgation by
this office of the instructions for the
restoration of the forfeited lands within
which to make their purchase. The
presentation of a notice of intention to pur
chase under said section will not, however,
reserve the land from disposal. No such
notice is required to protect the riglUs of
such claimants. The law gives them the
right of purchase within the time speci
fieU and any disposal of the lands must
be made subject to that right.
Respectfully, . .
Louis A. Grofk,
Commissioner.
Wasco Correspondence.
Wasco, March 10, 1891.
Editor Chronicle : The ever welcome
Chinook which began here on Sunday
has caused the snow to disappear rapidly,
and farmers will soon be in the midst of
their spring work.
A larger acreage than ever before will
be sown to wheat this spring, and a large
yield is expected this year, as the
ground will be in excellent condition.
Mr. T. C. Neece is teaching a large

Lower Fifteen Mile, March 14, 1891 .
Editor Chronicle : It is delightful
weather, and everybody is busy making
preparations for spring work; garden
work will commence in another week.
The snow is gone, with the exception on
the north side of the ridges and sheltered
places, some still remains.
The late cold spell has injured the

winter, and is now in town under the
care of Dr. Rinehart.
Mrs. M. Hendricksou has been quite
sick and was not expected to live for a

Notice of Explanation.
There appeared a notice in yesterday's
Times-Mountaineer from our worthy
compeditors, The Dalles Ice Co. We
wish to state that a part pertaining to
The Columbia Ice Co. is untrue and
without foundation. We sold them
about as .much ice last - season as they
sold us. The amount bought or sold by
either party was not enough to make
mention of and which was only done for
convenience to both parties. We do not
wish to make any talk of this but simply
state facts. As we have been engaged
in the business three years we wish to
inform the public that we are not or
never did depend on any one-horse con
cern for ice, and furthermore that we
never allowed our ice houses to' stand
idle, which no Other ice company now
existing in this city can sav. Our
notices which appear "in the dailv papers
are not intended for a 'slnr on "anv ice
company and will Bay we think "they
have no reason to take offence at them
unless the shoe fits, if so let them wear
it. Respectfully, Columbia Ice Co.

Is it True?

The Dalles is excited over a story that
has gained ground to the effect that
George : Snipes has given the Onion
Pacific railroad forty acres of land on his
place about two miles west of the city.
That the TJY P. expects to build car shops
and start a town called New Chicago. It
is also stated that thercompany will
abandon the route along the river in
order to avoid the sand and will run
their line south 1 of the city. " Let the
object be what it may there are being a
large number of lots staked off -at the
new town.: ' ; .'. '

EETIEW0F THE LOCAL MAEKET.
The local market review is devoid of
interest, business has continued quiet
and transactions of any magnitude have
been very limited" The roads into the
interior are in fair condition for this
season of the year. The farming class
are industriously making preparations
for a large acreage of grain.
Real Estate. We note increased
activity in outside property, new addi
tions to the city being laid out. At
present the attention of investors is be
ing attracted to the western part of
town where a large new addition has
been laid out on the George Snipes
tract. Several transfers of lots in the
military reservation addition have been
made during the past few days at good
prices. . All inside property remains
firm with no changes to report.
The stock market is quiet, as
is the grain. A large number
of vessels are arriviug in Port
land in quest of wheat . cargoes . for the
United Kingdom. Prices have made a
slight advance since our last report.
Eastern Oregon wheat is quoted at 130
to 1.35 with a steady market. Whether
I that means a further advance dealers are
very reticent about answering in the af
firmative or negative. The Dalles mar
ket quotations are nominal, say from 58
60 cents.
In. New York and - Chicago the
fluctuations are of the same old re
port, as well as the European quo
tations, which are governed by the num
ber of Mn-goes off the coast and in sight.
The live stock market is not as active
as it was for the week previous for ship
ment. The demand is easily supplied
with prime beeves and mutton for the
home market. Our dealers quote an
advance of l cents per pound for ,fat
cattle, and of a cent for prime hogs.
Veal is in good demand at 5 cents for
heavy to 7 cents for light, with a good
inquiry as the supply is insufficient.
The vegetable market is still very strin
gent with a very limited supply in sight.
Cabbage is not in the market and sells
freely at 22l cents per pound. Pars
nips and turnips are in demand and the
market is almost without, supply. A
greater inquiry is made each day for all
kinds of table vegetables, than formerly.
Chicago and New York grain quota
tions are ,as fluctuating as formerly,
with encouraging futures. Chicago's
May delivery quotation is 1.03; New
York, 1.06.
Portland's market reports an advance
with a firmer tone. Its quotations for
Valley is quoted $1.35(31.373-; Eastern
Oregon, $1.301.35.
Dalles market has been more quiet
with a slight advance since last week,
quote, .60 for No. 1 ; .58 for No. 2.
Oats The oat market is very quiet
and offerings limited at quotations with
an upward tendency. v e quote, extra
clean $1.50 per cental , and inferior $1.35
1.40 per cental.
Barley There is nothing doing in
barley. There is none offering. Quote
prime brewing $1.051.10, feed $1 .00
1 .05 per cental, sacked.
Floor Best brands $3.75$400 per
barrel. . , .
Millstuffs The supply is quite suffi
cient for the demand. We quote bran
and shorts $20.00 per ton. Shorts and
middlings $22.50 $24.00 per ton.
Hay The recent storm has effected the
market somewhat and hay has met with
activity in sales, and the stock on hand
is reduced, with a limited supply in
sight. An advance is looked for in the
early spring. Quote, timothy, $17.00
per ton, wheat hay baled $12.50. Oat
hay although is not quoted any
higher, has an upward tendency.
Alfalfa market is without change in
former quotation, $13.00 14.00 ; oat hay,
$12.00.
Potatoes Are moderate in supply and
have an upward tendency. Quote,
'.90 cents per 100 B.
- Butter The market is entirely bare
of good butter, that is to say home gilt
edge. The market is supplied largely
with California roll at present. The
quotations are firm. Quote A 1 .70, good
.65, brine .400.45, common .30.35
per roll. ' .
Eggs The market is firmer, the
stormy weather has been unfavorable for
increased supply and the former quota
tion is firmer. Quote .17 .20 per
dozen.' . , v
Poultry The poultry market is
stiffer since our . last quotation,
and a still farther advance is looked
for as there . is a scarcity in supply,
which continues. We quote, good,
average fowls $4.00 per dozen, common
$3.003.50 per dozen. Turkeys .10 per
lb." Geese .90$1.25 each. Ducks .35
.40 each. , ' .' '
Wool There are only a few lots of
wool in store, and quotations cannot be
made . with - certainty, prices average
from .15.18' for Eastern Oregon.;

The team of John Mesplie, of Mill
Creek, got frightened about noon today,
on first street by a passing locomotive,
and ran away. Mr. Mesplie was at the
back end of the wagon han diner out a
sack of potatoes, and was immediately
thrown out of the wagon. The team
made a line for Court street where they
struck the two posts of the awning of the
building back of McDonough's saloon.
The front of the awning fell to the side
walk leaving it leaning up against the
front of the building. The team finally
straddled a tree near 'iy and were brought
to a stand, when some onlookers caught
them. No damage was done to anything
but the awning and the lines of the har
ness. Mr. Mesplie was not injured.
Professor Wiggins fixes May 27th as
the date of his next great transcontinen
tal storm. This shows where the profes
sor ia wise. He never hurries his storms
off at a moment's notice, as the weather
bureau does, and this is probably what
makes his storms so gentle and good
natured. Wiggins couldn't start up a
"cyclone" if he tried. He is too kind to
his ftorms for that.
A Good Day's Sport.
