' We regret to learn that Tom Joles has
become a convert to the doctrine of a
depreciated currency. He has a ten
cent piece with a hole in it that plays a
more important part in his busi
ness than the biggest hog dollar
dollar he ever owned. When a guiless
child of the forest lays Mown a piece of
" money for a purchase- Tom always gives
this particular ten cenis back in change.
Th'en the Indian, to get rid of it, buys
something more and pays ..;back the ten
cents.' A Chronicle reporter found
,'Toni the other dayt.afti..he had passed
it o!F on-each one of half a dozen squaws,
twoor three times, whom Jie had leaded
down with purchases, and' at the end
Tom was in possession of the ten cents
and readv for the next Indian. ' -
Nats for Farmers to Crack. '. , '
A short time ago George Smith and
Richard Gant of Klickitat county came
to Mr., Whealdon of this city and asked
him what show there would be to obtain
the exclusive right, to use the land be
longing to the Interstate Company near
the Rockland landing, for handling arid
shipping grain. These gentleman with
others were appointed by the grangers
of Klickitat county to attend to this
matter. They told Mr. Whealdon if
they could get exclusive right they
would induce all the, grain they could to
come this way, but if the privilege had
to be divided ' up between themselves
and others they were not willing to em
bark in the enterprise. A contract was
then entered into by which the . Inter
state Company guaranteed the excluse
right desired. About the time the con
tract was completed, and in the grey of
a Sunday morning, an old scow belong
ing to Z. F. Moody was conveyed across
the river and anchored at the landing
directly in front of where the shute is
now placed, while a pair of grain scales
were placed on the bluff. When Mr.
Whealdon learned what had been done
he called on M. A. Moody and told him
that the Interstate Company had guar
anteed to the farmers of Klickitat
county the excluse privilege of using the
landing and to the Regulator the exclu
sive right to land there. The upshot of
this interview was that Whealdon
bought the Moody scow and Mr. Moody
vacated the place. Then a shute was
built which Mr. Smith has since used
in connection with the scow to ship the
grain purchased, on the Regulator. In
the early part of the present week the
announcement was made that the Baker
was to be withdrawn from the river
traffic. It is well-known she has been
doing nothing since the Regulator
started. But the announcement was
scarcely made till it was revoked J The
revocation followed immediately after
the appearanee in this city of the gen
eral freight agent of the Union Pacific,
Mr. Campbell. Then an effort was
made to purchase from Mr. Smith the
2000 sacks of grain he has stacked near
the landing. More than it would possi
bly bring at Portland by five or six cents
a bushel, with freight by the U.
P. added, was offered but Mr.
Smith refused to sell unless it would be
shipped by the Regulator. The next
move occurred yesterday when M. A
Moody placed a pair of scales at the
Rockland ferry, and prepared to buy
wheat, offering more than Smith., One
load of nineteen sacks was purchased till
the present. The scales-being again on
the Interstate company's land on the
east side of the landing, Mr. Whealdon
informed Mr. Moody that he must re
move them. Moody than broke down a
fence erected by the Dalles, Portland &
Astoria Navigation company, around a
landing secured to them by lease from
Mr. Curtiss. Here Moody holds the
fort today and the end is not yet. That
this is a move to cripple the Regulator,
and in the interest of the Union Pacific,
is as plain as that the heavens are
stretched over the earth and that M. A.
Moody is being used by the company
for this purpose is equally clear. The
Ciikonicle will watch the progress of
events with interest and relate them,
without fear or favor, as they occur.
From Eight Mile.
Eight Milk, Oct. 13, 1891 .
Editor of the Chronicle:
A few items from Eight Mile may be
acceptable.
The sound of the thresher is now sel
dom heard in the land, its work being
much lighter than usnal. The hot east
winds of July told disastrously on the
quality and quantity of the wheat crop.
The plucky farmer has already com
menced seeding, hoping to be able, as of
yore, to reap a bountiful harvest.
The hard times have not prevented
the erection of several new dwellings in
our locality. This is said to imply that
two or three most interesting events will
follow in the near future.
Some of our alliance friends are antic
ipating a good time attending the county
alliance meeting", to be held at Hood
River, October 13th.
Night is made hideous pretty much all
over the land by the festive coyote. He
lays heavy tribute on the farmer and
stockman. No family hereabout can be
gin to afford such a luxurious table as
the aforesaid coyote. Some farmers on
Eight Mile lose over 100' fowls a year by
this ' miserable epicure. He spares nei
ther ngenor sex. The young, the old,
the middle-aged, seem, alike toothsome
to him. The elderly fowls are quite dis
couraged and inquire, "Why is it thus?"
The writer would suggest that a bounty
on coyote scalps is the remedy and would
tend to keep the price of eggs at moder
ate figures. " Farmer.
A Card.
We ha ve heard some questions raised
as to genuineness of our advertised sale.
We have not been given to false repre
sentations in the past nor do we intend
to commence now. We have decided to
withdraw from business, and while re
gretting the necesity of throwing such a
large amount of goods on the market,
yet this was the only means we had of
disposing of our stock. We can assure
all our friends that this is a genuine
clearance sale, and a call at our store
with a careful examination of our prices
will convince the most skeptical.

On October i3th, by Justice Schntz at
the office of the county clerk, W. G.
Ward to Lucy J. Ben net.
Wfafflkffv Cl&lma Annthar : . !-
About two o'clock this afternoon the
sound of a pistol shot was beard eoming
from one of the bedrooms of the Cosmo
politan Hotel. A clerk ran up to room
43 where he found a man lying on the
floor besides, the bed while, the- blood
gushed from a .wound directly', in the
middle of his forehead and his brains
scattered on the carpet. A 44 caliber
six shooter lay beside him with three of
the chambers empty." A - nearly full
flask of whiskey was on the stand at
the bed head and the smell emanating
from the unconscious form of the suicide
indicated that the man must have been
under the influence of liquor' when the
deed was done1. Enquiry soon discov
ered the fact that the mans, name was
Lacey and that he' came to ,' the The
Dalles from Antelope county where he
has been engaged at sheep herding and
other simular employment for the pas
two years. ' He has been in the city'
since last Saturday, all the time drink
ing more or less heavily. He claimed
yesterday to one of our citizens that he
had lost $100 since his arrival in gamb
ling. A letter was found on his person
which read as follows : . .
Office or J. H: McDonough. "
The Dalles, Or., Oct. l6,"l881 .
To whom it may interest: -.
The saying that no one commits
suicide unless temporarily insane I think
can be refuted in my case. The problem
of existence is too much for me or I am
for it, which amounts to the same thing.
Whiskey has been my master for years
and the longer I live the more absolute
its control is. I have not the will power
to resist it, so I am going to take this
means of putting an end of a life that I
have lost all interest in. I hope if there
is a merciful God as my christian friends
tell me, that he will not inquire too
closely into a misspent life. My rela
tions 'I do not want to hear of my
untimely death so I will not say any
thing about them. And now friends
good-bye, think kindly of me if you can.
R. T. Lacey,
, The Dalles, Oregon.
.Lacey is a man of medium height,
about twenty-six years of age, with
dark hair and light brown mustache.
He had no money nor valuables on his
person. It is said he has a good-horse
in one of the livery stables. He was
respectably clothed and wrote a fine
hand. He is still alive as we go to press

BARB-WIRE CAUSED IT.
K. Harris of Walla Walla lias a ltttd
Accident near Fendletoni
Reinhold Harris, the Walla Walla
butcher who has been at Pendleton, on W
business visit for several 'days, started
borne on horseback Saturday night
about 11 o'clock.
After crossing the county bridge above
town his horse, a skittish one, became
frightened at some campers, and
plunged into a barb wire fence which
has been built on either side of the road.
Reinhold staid with tne horse, but was
carried along the fence fr some dis
tance, his right leg coming in contact
with the wire. The cruel barbs tore a
gash at least two inches deep across the
leg about six inches above the knee,
just missing the main artery, and in
flicted two email cuts on the knee. Mr.
Harris managed to ride back to town,
and is now lying at the Golden Rule, at
tended by Dr. Smith.
It will be serveral months before he
can walk, so severe is the wound. East

Bogu Bays a Railroad.
The Montesano Democrat is authority
for the startling announcement that V.
G. Bogue has bought the Hunt rail
roads. Inasmuch as C B. Wright
bought Hunt out, and the Gray's harbor
line would be in direct opposition to the
Northern, any corroborative informa
tion with reference to the details of .the
purchase Would be of much interest.
The Democrat says: . -. ' -'
The railroad outlook for the Gray's
harbor country is certainly encouraging.
Engineer Bogue, formerly with the
Union Pacific, is reported to have pur
chased Hunt's railroad system, in com
pany with several other capitalists, and
it is thought that the Great Northern
will thus get a terminus on Gray's har
bor. Still after Singer's Scalp.' ivj-V-
In the corridors of The Willamette a

nothing left for Hermann to work with.

what they are worth to local readers. -
