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.

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

gato station,' was held up and robbed

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. " .
