Sharp Superintendent of Public Schools. . .Troy Shellov Coroner : William Michell The Chronicle is the Only Paper in The Dalles that Receives the Associated Press Dispatches. Oregon may be behind in the matter of appropriations for the world's fair and such miner things, but in Thanksgiving proclamations and enterprising journal ehe leads the van. The Astorian says : 'All illustrated papers of the United States have been 'scooped' by the enter prising editor of the Grant County Neits, who, in the issue just received, pub lishes pictures of the Due de la Kocbe foncauld and Miss Mattie Mitchell. The due is very bald-headed and his picture has done duty in many papers of the northwest as the before taking of a noted hair vigor, while tne young lady's face is surprisingly like that which .accompanies a certain complex ion nostrum. The Albany Herald thinks the pictures are remarkably distinct and lifelike, and mark a new era in journal ism in Oregon, We are informed that the Union Pacific company has made a cut in its freight rates on the Baker between The Dalles and Portland equal to about half the present rates. This is infinitely kind, but it cornea rather late to be of much benefit to the dear people. If the Regulator was not on the river the com pany's rotten old hulk would be now tied up as she was last year for six months when the people of Washington, between The Dalles and the Cascades were" left without any means of trans portation. This new effort to crush the peoples' bo'ats ought to rally to the sup port of the boat company every friend of an open river in Eastern Oregon and Washington.- If we cannot maintain the portage we have there is -.little use in asking for another. The Orcgonian's correspondent at The Dalles is responsible for the following: This afternoon the jury in the case of the state of Oregon vs. Atwell, to con demn a parcel of land required by the state portage at the Cascades, returned sl verdict placing damages at $4000. The Mate helit that the value of this land was $400, while Atwell claimed $12,000. A lower ligure could have been agreed upon between tha parties, had not the roundhouse, offices, etc., been built vtp- on the hind" before an agreement was reached. , . . It is of no great importance oneway or othe,r, but it is not true that the state put the value of the land at $400. Sup erintendent Farley on behalf of the state offered $1500 for it but this sum the Atwells thought much below its value; hence the snit.. Nor did the fact that the roundhouse offices etc., were built on the land out any figure with the jury ' in fixing the price. The state needed the 'land and had to build on it pending the suit, or do without the roundhouse and other necessary buildings, till the price of the land would' be agreed on. Men and Women. Chauncey Depew has htsd 2000 Amer ican infants named-after him. Mrs. Ye, the wife of the Corean min ister at Washington, has learned to talk English. Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, is charged with smoking the worst cigars . of any prominent man in the country. Gail Hauiilton.says that she has dis carded politics and is devoting herself exclusively to theology, with Mrs. May brick as an incidental diversion. ' Senator John M. Palmer is one of the most inveterate pedestrians in Washing ton, and his wife seems to share his love of outdoor walks about the capital. J. Montgomery Sears, of Boston, has the pleasure of paying $200,000 in. city taxes, and he has never yet surprised the collector by paying him in silver dollars. ; Peter Saxc, brother of John G. Saxe, , the poet ', died lately in San Francisco. He was in the unsentimental business importing blood , stock, and was for twenty years one of the most extensive ' dealers of that class on the Pacific coast. TALK ' ABOUT ' CONGKESSMAN. Bon. W. It. Elli, of Hejpner av Possible ' Republican Candidate. Last Monday, says the Long Creek Eagle, one of Pendleton's well-espected citizens called at this office, and having Eastern Oregon at heart in the matter of congressman from the second . district, said : . , 'Why don't some of you republican papers put up a candidate lor congrese so we can be sure to elect an Eastern Oregon man?" ' We replied that to our knowledge the republicans had a man in the field, and a mighty strong one at that, he being Hon. W. R. Ellis of Heppner. ' "Is that so? I had heard Mr. Ellis frequently spoken of but had not learned definitely that he was in the race.' ,Yon see the democratic nominee is sure to be-4 Senator J. H. "Raley of Pendleton, and if the republicans succeed in nominating Mr. Ellis it will be a square fight be tween the two great parties, and Eastern Oregon will be the winner when the fight is ended." In speaking of the probable result of ths election in the case of Mr. Ellis and Mr. Raley are the choice of the two par ties our democratic friend said : "Mr. Ellis is a gentleman of rare ability and has an attractive way about him tnat will make votes in his behalf in whatever part Of the district he visits. Mr. Raley stands well' with Umatilla county people from the simple fact that he has befriended many a poor man, and I believe with his party generally. But the district being republican, Mr. Ellis has the better hand, and chances are that he would be elected. You see we Umatilla county fellows want an East ern Oregon man, and' if the matter is properly worked an Eastern Oregon man will be elected." Blocked by Snowdrifts. Denver, Dec. l.-r-In formation from Sydney, Colo., says the freight teams which started from North Park last 'week, hauling over the surplus grain, have returned with loaded wagons.. On the summit of the continental divide snowdrifts were encountered from ten to twelve feet deep. It is ieared hard ship will resnlt to the ranchers depend ing on the Troceeds of the grain sold from North Park for the purchase of winter supplies. ' , Surprised the officials. Chicago, Nov. 30. Acting Secretary of State Wharton forwarded to. Director- General Davis, a cablegram from the- United States minister at Santiago, say ing the Chilian government confirmed and continued the arrangements made by the late government for Chilian representation at the Columbian exposi tion. This action is quite a surprise to the fair officials. . ' A Station Agent ltobbed. Deveb, Nov. 30. A .dispatch -from Albuquerque, N. M., says that the At lantic and Pacific ugent, Brady, at Win gato station,' was held up and robbed last night. The robbers fcecured a gold wntch and chain and several hundred dollar.s belonging to the railroad and to the Wells, f'argo Express company. Soldiers are after the robbers. KING PATRICK THE FIRST, A Wicked Savannah Sailor Who Has Be come an Oriental Potentate. .' Twenty yazza ago Patrick O'Keeffe was a comparatively poor man, making bis living as a Sailor on small vessels coasting between Savannah and neigh boring ports. Today he is a king. He is the owner and absolute ruler of the island " of Nyph, in the Australian groups of the Pacific, almost in the heart of the tropics. He would probably be still a resident of Savannah and a poor man, but for two tragedies in which he figured as one of the principals. In 18C7, as the story is told by an old ; timer, he was mate of the schooner An- j nie Sims, which plied between this city and Darien. On the schooner was a young Irish sailor named Sullivan. He and O'Keeffe were apparently good friends. While near Darien loading lumber the mate was building a cabin on the schooner and he asked Sullivan what he thought of it. The sailor made a joking reply which angered O'Keeffe, and a fight resulted. Sullivan got the best of it and O'Keeffe went to his quar ters, and securing a pistol, returned and began firing at the sailor. The latter dodged behind the new cabin several times, and finally got np and remarked .to O'Keeffe that be couldn't shoot anybody. But he was mistaken, for the next bullet struck him and he died in a short while. The mate was brought to Savannah, and, after a long confinement in jail, was trfed and acquitted in the United States court. Afterward, while an officer of a small steamer, he had trouble with' one of the deck hands and ran him into the river, were he was drowned. These troubles seemed . to . worry O'Keeffe, and he determined to leave the "States," as he termed it In 1871 he sailed away from Savannah as second mate on an American vessel bound Cor Liverpool, and when he bade his friends goodby on the wharf he told them that he would never return to Savannah un less he came in his own ship. . From Liverpool he shipped to the East Indies, and from there to Hong-Kong. He had saved a little money by this time, and began a small fruit and lumber busi ness between the Pacific islands and Hong-Kong. He was successful, and after a few years secured the island of Nyph from the natives by a trade of some sort. ' The island abounds in teak- wood and fruit, and : O'Keeffe bought a schooner and brig and started business on a big scale. His vessels ran to Hong Kong, and he soon built rip an extensive trade, which has steadily increased, until now he is reckoned as a very wealthy man. . .. . , . O'Keeffe left behind him vhen he Sailed away from Savannah a wife and a baby ' daughter, who is now a yonng woman. For years nothing was heard of his whereabouts. After he began to prosper in his faraway home, however, he wrote a letter and sent money to his wife. He tried to persuade her and his daughter tog to him, but they wouldn't doit. Regularly twice a -year since he sends remittances for their support and keeps up a correspondence with them. Mrs. O'Keeffe and her daughter live on Liberty street, near East Broad, and have an oil painting of the brig of the king of Nyph hanging in their parlor. Besides being a trader of -wealth and position, O'Keeffe is the ruler of a large colony made np mostly of Malays, who swear by him. Savannah News. " . NOTICE.
