LaFrance of Hood River was in the city today. A. A. Frazier gave this office a wel--come call today. . V. C. Brock, county clerk of Sherman county is in the city. Engineer Driecoll, who has been en gaged to work on the Regulator, is in the city. Dr. L. Vanderpool of Dufur, the or iginal proprietor of the S. B., medicines is in the city. Mr. W. D. Palmer, late foreman of the 'Ghbonicle, moved his family yesterday from this city to Portland. ' Services will be held in the German Lutheran church of this city next Sun day at 10:30 o'clock. A. Horn, pastor, ' CaptaiA II. Anlauf and wife, who have been visiting friends in this city for the past few days, left yesterday for Cali fornia where they intend to make their future home. Three gentlemen from Hoboville, were supplied last night with lodgings at the city hostlery, Ralph Gibons, manager andlesee. The night clerk Con Howe X finding the gentlemen exposed to the ool night, kindly furnished them with rooms on the ground floor. They re fueed to pay their bill this . morning $5 and the tips and were permitted to en lish in the regiment under the command of Gen. Jack Staniels. Miss Grace Glenn gave a farewell party yesterday afternoon to Miss Annie Wentz. Those present were: Misses Lena Liebe, Minnie Hess, of Portland, Lily Moss, of Coos Bay, Una Wilson, Jessie Butler, Carrie Butler and Lena Thompson. The young people had their picture taken on tho lawn and after discussing a refection of ice cream and cake and enjoying themselves im mensely the company separated at 8 :30 o'clock. D. L Vanderpool of Dufur, came into the store of Filloon Brothers this morn ing and asked for a box for one of the wheels of his buggy. He was not quite sure of the style he wanted but selecting one that he thought would suit he re marked "I'll take this over to the stable, where my buggy is and see if it will do.' In about half an hour he came back and remarked quietly to John Filloon, "I say John if yon say nothing about it I'll set up the cigars. The fact is I left my boggy at borne and forgot a.l about it." The doctor had come into town in a neighbor's hack and never thought of that till he got to the stable. A Successful School. The Dufur public school will open the first Monday in September and continue ten months.. Tho board of directors have furnished the hous for the accom modation of over 100 pupils. Mr. A. Frazier is retained as principal. The classes in this school for the coming year in addition to the common branches will include algebra, geometry, natural phil osophy, general history and rhetoric. This is Mr. Frazier's third consecutive yearLn this school. Under his princi palsbip it has kept steadily growing in favor with the public and in the number of pupils'. There is, in fact, no more successful public school in the country. Dufur is a delightful little village where pupils can find board at very reasonable rates and where they will be surrounded with more than ordinary good moral and religious influences. '' , Why Not? Portland Telegram. Why is it that the chamber of com merce cannot undertake the : work - of building the portage road? If the road can be built and equipped for $200,000, what is the necessity of giving $230,000 to another corporation to build it? The citizens of Portland ought to build the road and own it. And if the narrow gauge is adopted, it will be a small mat ter to build branches and extensions into all the fine sections, and thus keep the ' wheat trade forerer tributary to , Portland. A. BURGLAR PROOF SAFE. French tt Co. Put In one ot Hall's Latest Time Lock Safes. . The Hall Safe and Lock company of Cincinnati, Ohio, are constructing for Messers. French & Co., of this place, a 30,000 pound steel burglar proof vault, and placing the same in their building, corner of Washington and Second sts., under the superintendency of their ex pert, Mr. Jos. F. Morse. . The vault is one of the strongest structures of its kind in the northwest, with it walls composed of six plates of Hall's drill proof steel, -grouped with nine plates of bessimer steel, the whole mass is secured into a solid body by welding cold rolling under a pressure of 50 tons to the square inch and by Hall's" patent seven ply welded iron and 'crome steel twisted arbors. The inside dimen tions of the vault are in clear, 125 inches deep, 60 inches wide and 84 inches high. The entrance to the structure will be guarded by four massive steel doors, in closed in a vestibule and jams composed of four plates of dull proof 6teel and four plates of bessimer steel welded and bolted together. The outer door of about 5000 pounds weight is controlled in opening and closing by massive gear ing, enabling one man to easily manipu late it. The doors are fitted to cut the finest paper in closing. -The prominent features of this outside door - are its ponderous halt frames 4x2Jf inch steel bar carrying twenty 2 inch bolts for lock ing the door ; also its timer and detach able handles. Passing through the first door you encounter a double door of like construction, locked by twenty double bolts of 12 tnches in diameter. - Inside of this is a nickel gate of beautiful de sign to serve as a day door,, closing au tomatically upon entering or leaving the vault. The entire' structure is further guarded against fire by a heavy wall of masonry. The foundation is carried to solid rock and composed of heavy con crete work interlaid with bar scrap iron, every few inches, absolutely preventing undermining. The vault is guaranteed absolutely burglar and fire proof from every possible stand point. . All the ex posed work . ia handsomely engraved, silver plated and etched.", Mr. Morse in forms us the' work will be completed in about two , weeks. It will furnish the community with a long needed protec tion for valuables and savings. ' The cost of the entire structure is about $7,500. Duck Retrieving; at Collin's Landing:. . Our special reporter at Collin's Land' ing has sent' us the following "thrilling incident of camp life at that favorite re sort. The other morning at 4 :30 o'clock the cjmpers at Collin's Landing were startled from sleep by the sound of a fearful splashing in the waters of a small lake near the camp. The campers im mediately rushed from their tents, clad in garments' bordering on Adamic sim plicity and on arriving- at the edge of the lake were simply spell-bound at the sight which ' met their gaze. i, Mrs.: Fil loon t-was one of the party so ruthlessly waked up and one can better imagine than attempt to describe her feelings when she saw her beloved husband wildly rushing through the waters of the lake with outstretched arms, and Ed Mills frantically grabbing for George's . (a-hem ) shirt . tail, ' as : if at' tempting to rescue him from some mad determination. The cries and tears of Mrs. Filloon fell beadlessly on the ears of - her husband, as , ahe : hopelessly watched him go deeper and deeper, into the water. Just as her suspense was about to ripen into despair George stopped suddenly and cried,' "Ida,. Ida, I've got it," and then George and Ed came slowly to the shore, bearing ten derly in their hands a little unfledged duck that the supposed suicide wanted to take in out of the wet. A. BRIGHT NEWS AGENT. He Gives S15 in Bills tor 30 in Gold to an Accommodating: Passenger. A news agent on Wednesday morn Ing' s tast-bound train No.- 2,, played t cute trick on an unsuspecting passenger. He asked bis victim to accommodate him with the exchange of gold for bills. The kind passenger assented, with the question: '-''' "How much have yon got?" "Thirty dollars," responded the in genuous peanut butcher. '. Instead, however, he had half ' that amount in bills, which he doubled and counted so cleverly that he made $30 of the wad, and the passenger handed him the gold, and took the greenbacks. The latter did not discover the fraud until he paid for his breakfast at the Bowman House. He then telegraphed toe conductor to interview the news agent and get the money or he would have the brave young man arrested. He received a reply that the money had been secured, and would be returned to him at Pendleton. . ... That brilliant news peddler should be E laced in a position where he can expend is genius in manufacturing stoves or muKiiig uncK ior me state. Jasi ure- gontan. . In 1853 when Ben McAtee first visited Tygh Valley, where he has had his home since 1865, there was not a white settler in the valley. It was the grand rendez vous for Indians for hundreds of miles on every side. -' There they met for horse racing and gambling and their own pe culiar sports. The tall rye grass, that covered nearly the whole valley was eight to ten feet high..' It was a lovely spot, an Indian paradise. Nathan Olney then ran a little ferry boat across the Deschutes at the mouth of Buck Hollow and Dan Butler was constable of Wasco precinct which then included all East ern Oregon and was a precinct of Clack' a mas county. MARKET REVIEW. Thursday, August 13, 1891. The business of the city for the past week is without interest, and prices re main unchanged. The general topics are finances and the wheat situation and market prospects, which we give in this column. ' - In brokers' circles the finance question ' is of an easy character. The demand for loans are less frequent than they were last spring and the money market is more or less quiet on that account. The harvest, which is on hand and with the prospect of a fair average of pro duct and prospective high prices to be realized, will ease obligation and give a new impetus to all kinds of trade and improvements. WHEAT OUTLOOK OB THE WORLD. That there is a shortage of breadstuffa throughout the world is a fact beyond contradiction. All reports from Europe are confirmed and the deficiency which is necessary for the actual need, is great er than at first supposed. It is variously estimated that it is from 300,000,000 to 619,000,000 bushels, but, however this may be, enough is known that all the reserves and surplus will be required, and then the demand is not supplied. Russia has already issued her ukase forbidding the export of rye or rye flour, which is the breadstuff of the empire, and that the utmost care must be ob served to prevent starvation within her borders. India is threatened with a home market for nearly all her surplus as the diouth has been severe on a large portion of her agricultural districts. The Daubian provinces have fair crops, but England, whose prospects have been very flattering, is suffering from continued stormy weather,, and the latest dis patches report no favorable change in the outlook. We append the following from Bradatreet's correspondent which is considered authority: New Yobk, Aug. 8.- Bradsfeet's Lon don correspondent has forwarded a re port on the condition of Wheat : abroad, which indicates that Europe will have to import about 281,000,000 bushels this year.: lie states that with respect to Russia ' the most : contradictory reports have been issued, but there is no doubt the wheat crop is a big failure in many parts of the empire, and that it would be a safe estimate to assess it at 15 per cent less than last year's crop. - Latest re ports of the Hungarian minister of agri culture indicates a reduction , of 2C per cent.; for the current harvest in Austria' Hungary. The weather has improved the prospect. He allows- 75,000,000 bushels for the new crop of the United Kingdom and estimates the following as the amounts which' will be needed by the several countries mentioned : : ' - . ' Bushels: Great Britain... 145,006,000 France 100,000,000 Germany 35,000,000 iiaiy . . uo,uuo,un) Spain and Portugal 16,000,000 Turkey 10.000.000 Switzerland , 8,000,000 Rest of Europe. . 32,000,000 He estimates that if the allowance of 33,000,000 bushels for export from India and 114,000,000 from the United States be made, there will still remain a deficit of about 104,000,000 to be supplied from minor sources outside of Europe. ' Reports come in from Central America to the effect that the Columbian states will require imports from abroad to sup ply their deficiency ; also a portion of Mexico is quite alarmed over the drouth which is now devastating a portion of her republic. The reports thus far re ceived, which are considered reliable, indicate that the world was never put on such short rations, in tact, has never seen such a great deficiency. ; Cablegaams announce . firm markets with an upward tendency in England. JNew xork and Uhicago markets are steadily looking up, and San Francisco quotations show a rapid advance. The alliance circulars which have been sent out to the several grain states monthly are having an influence, and already Tennessee and Kansas have acted on the advice and - are holding their : wheat for better prices. ' Millers have been compelled.' to advance the price or seek other states for their sup. ply, which in some instances has been done. On our coast the wheat market is in active, although steady." In Walla Walla and beyond, 68 and 70 cents is be ing offered, and some has changed hands at those figures. There can be but little doubt that wheat will command good prices before another harvest.

Dbab Sib: Renlvlnf? ti vnnr rf'.mifst for m with the Equitable Ufa Assurance Society of New York in. their lute settlement with me, fwould state that in the early part of 1881, my age being 56 years, I took out a Ten-Payment Life Policy In the bquibible upon their Ten-Year Tontine Plan, for 140,000. My premiums during the period amounted to 537,512.00. The Tontine period expired earlv in January of the present year, and the Company then ottered me the following terms of settlement; FIRST A paid up policy for f 10,000 00 . . And cash 9,751 60 bKCOND A paid up policy for ,M,600 CO THIRD Surrender my policy, and receive iu cash ...... 7. 30.496 80 I was so little satisfied with the results of my investment that I chose the third, cash, piopod tion. but when I so decided, the comnanv. thrniisrh fuvpml nf ia mnrmmntntfvAQ i.hAiwi ; i.!iu me to take one of the other forms of settlement, but finding that I was determined to surrender the policy and take the eash, they finally instructed me from the home office to send policy and receipt for the amount, 16,496.80, to their State manager in Cleveland, and he would remit me the amount. I followed their instructions and sent the policy and receipt through my bank in Springfield to our correspondent in Cleveland, only to have it returned from the Cleveland Bank with the Information iqui me Bime manager oi ine equitable states that he "had not sufficient funds to meet it." This forced me to return it to tho New York ollice, and compelled me to wait some twenty days after maturity before receiving final settlement. I have given no statement endorsing the Equitable, or expressing my satisfaction with their settlement with me. On the other hand I have positively refused to do so. The fact that mv re turns were ,01y.20 less than my total investment renders further comment unnecessary. During the time I carried the Equitable policy and up to the day when they submitted the above proposition to me, I was kept in total ignorance of the condition of my investment. In marked contrast with this has been my experience with the Northwestern, in which in 18S2, I took a Ten-Year Endowment Policy, Ten-Year Tontine, for $10,000, that company having from ume j time iurmsuea me wiin a memorandum of their actuary; so that while my policy has not yet the satisfaction of knowlnz that at maturity it will of the policy calls for.
