sold his business to Captain Donovan.
Mr. David Bens, wife and daughter
left for the east via Portland on Tuesday
last.
A camp of Gipseys are stopping at

chants of that central city.
It is reported that J. H. McDoriogh

man and intends to go into business in
Portland.
: Washington, D. C, correspondence
intimates that Hon. Cyrus Dolph. broth
er pf Senator Dolph i has . a very good
chance of being appointed V. S. judge
in the Ninth circuit. ' , .
In view of the coming election in Port-?
land it is said to be surprising to know
the large number of well-known citizens
who think that the mayor's chair will
just exactly fit them. .
We are sorry to hear that Captain
John Lewis, the register of the land
office, is on the sick list. At last reports
.the' captain was improving, ., but Mrs.
Lewis was taken ill of the same trouble
la grippe.
Just now the people of .Portland are
agitated in a slightly perceptible degree
over the question of smoking . on the
platforms q the street car. ' How thank
ful we oujrht to be . that with all our
troubles we are not bothered that way
in The Dalles.
Three six and eight horse teams are
being loaded with freight for Prineville.
These teams brought down 200 pelts,
while one of them last year on the same
trip brought down 1500. The roads are
in fairly good condition for the time of
year.
The time was when the State Insur
ance company, of. Salem, did not have
the best reputation in the world for
settling losses. We are assured, however
that in the matter of Settling . with' Ike
Young, whose dwelling and household
effects were lately destroyed, the comyany
has acted promptly and liberally.
The Goldendale Sentintl says, "The
man who stole Colonel Pike's uniform
at Tekoa last February was sentenced
to two years . penal servitude. Sandy
Olds the notorious Portland murderer
was sentenced for one year. What does
this mean? Ye Gods? Is it possible
that stealing is worse, than, murder?'' ;
I On aext Monday Goldendale will elect
her city officers for the ensuing year
xne saioon win, n appearscut. an .im
portant figure in the election as the little
town has jnanagedjduring the past nine
years to get along without, one and .the
majority it is believed, are ... determined
to down any candidates who would, if
elected, consent to a saloon license.
The Oregon Agricultural Experiment
station at Corvallis -has sent to -Mr. D
J. Cooper .of this city a limited quantity
of sugar-beet seed and : Mr. Cooper has
left the seed at this, office; ,for distribu
tion to all who are willing to experiment
Jant on our Eastern Oregon
believed that a very large
the lands of the Inland
Empire, is. adapted,, and, specially -. so, to
the successful, .raising .of the - sugar :beet,
and we shall be pleased to distribute the
seed freely as long as it lasts
- The-U. P. company are having trouble
with the Mosier,. school .district about
school taxes which the company refuses
to pay. The district, through the sheriff,
levied an execution on the company's
property and the sale was to come off to
morrow, but the company has served no-.
tice on, the sheriff to stop the sale and
the end is not yet. . The Chromiclx had
hoped to buy out Jay Gould's - interest
and add the road to the many other at
tractions of this journal, but 18, : fort the
present, disappointed. t -

' Of John Diljon, who comes to the
Opera House, April 6th, the Chicago
Herald e&y a : .
John Dillon is fairly packing the
People's Theatre this week with highly
amused and delighted audiences. Last
evening every seat was taken, and if
ripples and roars of laughter can be re
garded as any fair indication of a "hit,"
it must be set down for a fact that
"Wanted the Earth," has achieved
ample success, and that Dillon is on the
high, road to fortune.
The play belongs very decidedly to the
order of farce comedy. Like all produc
tions of its class it brings together many
absurdly incongruous elements, but - the
fun ie maintained throughout. The fun
becomes fast and furious in the last act
when the tangle between the good and
bad people of the play is - straightened
out. As a rough-and-ready farce com
edy, well suited to Mr. Dillon's - striking
corned v talents, "Wanted the Earth,"
must be commended. Chicago Herald

Economy and Ethtca.
The fruit of speculation and gambling
are being reaped over on the sound by a
whirlwind of seductions ana muraers.
A day does not pass without some of the
boomed cities furnishing a victim of the
depravity which follows the .decay aris
ing from excessive thieving, commonly
described as over-booming and over
speculation. Men cannot tare some
thing for doing nothing without suffer
ing the penalty attached to injustice and
robbery. East Oreyonian.
These "seducers and murderers" are
badly in need of instruction in "economy
and ethics," if the philosophy of the
East Oregonian is to be . believed. A
great many of us would administer the
economy and, ethics" hypodermically
at the end of the muzzle of a shotgun.

he is authority for the statement that no
horse. in the state, can show, a better rec
ord than his during that time. Prince
is eight years old and. weighs 1,850 lbs.
He will be a valuable addition to the
part of the country where he will be
kept henceforth. -

The forces that held up the price of
of sugar on the . Pacific coast are too
potent to yield to any such trifle as the
removal of a two-cent duty.' - Th price
of raw sugar in the east fell 'two cents
per pound the moment the sugar in the
custom house- was - released ' from -bond
yesterday, and all other grades promptly
followed it. Though . San ', Francisco re
finers - pay the - Hawaiian planters the
price of Cuban surar laid down in-New
York, prices here did not follow the' de
cline in JNew York, tailing on only three-
fourths of a cent. Suear is- now nearly
three cents per pound higher - here than
in uie east, inai is curious.

There has been but little change in
the business tone of the city -during the
past. . week. . The , farmers, and outside
business people are - too much occupied
in their various pursuits to come to
town, and consequently trade from the
interior is unusually short - for the
season. ' '
Money is close and a tightening string
ency is manifest in all circles. The
credit system is being more and more
abolished among the merchants and the
pinching experienced in the ast is being
felt more or lees on this coast now. As
soon as the wool clip begins to move
there will be an easiness in the condition
of all kinds of traffic.
Real Estate There has been more
inquiry for outside property and more
activity in inside or city real estate.
The first, second and third additions to
the city . are attracting some attention
and it is expected that there will be an
active movement in those properties in
the near future. The transfers during
the week just closing have been in ex
cess or a . weeK ago, and our wise ones
predict a very active season in citv and
country properties. " '
