D. J. COOPER ASSAULTED.
Garrett Tullerton Laboring Under a
Slight Delusion.
Garrett Fullerton was arrested and
brought before Justice Davis yesterday
on the charge of assault and battery
upon D. J. Cooper. He was admitted to
bail in the earn of $100 for his appear
ance for trial this evening at 7 o clock.
In default of bail he was committed to
Jail. The appearance of Mr. Cooper
would indicate that he bad decidedly
the worst of the trouble.
Fullerton seems to be laboring tinder a
slight misapprehension as to the rights
of owners of property. Some time ago
he was picked up by Mr. Cooper and
given a home on the farm. Mr. Cooper
had decided to move his family on the
place, but hearing that Fullerton had
said he would not permit the" family to
move there as long as he had possession,
went out to the place in advance' of the
family's arrival. He met Fullerton in
the room and told him the family was
coming and to move bis bed upstairs.
Fullerton objected and Mr. Cooper pro
ceeded to roll up the blankets, proceed
ing with them as far as the stair door.
Here his way was blocked by Fullerton.
In thia- crisis of authority Fullerton led
out with .his right, knocking .Cooper,
blankets and all on to the floor. He
followed his advantage by a thorough
drubbing; of which Mr. Cooper's face to
day bears am pie evidence. After satisfy
ing his pugilistic propensities Fullerton
left the house, bound ior town, ten miles
distant, through the mud, and wading
creeks nearly up to his hips. Cooper
mounted a horee and passed him on the
.way, swore but a complaint against him,
and when Fullerton loomed up in the
distance near the city limits, was
promptly arrested and placed in jail.
A Busy Place.. .
A party who arrived today from the
Locks, says that it Is a pleapure to watch
the work going on. His own words are
that it is business from the word go.
Every man seems to understand his own
duty and applies himself with energy.
A score of different things are going on
at once. Fifteen engines, stationary,
donkeys and locomotives, never rest;
drills are probing; blasts ' exploding ;
pumps exhausting the water from the
canal inj which the 'men are at work ;
ponderous machinery, stone' crushers,
Band sifters, mortar mixtures, are all in
motion, depositing their, product in the
canal; and innumerable tram cars flit
here and there like ants on errands bent.
Altogether the Locks affords a most un
usual sight in these times, and it looks
more like 1892 than at any time since
last January a year ago.
Feeding Spoiled Wheat.
H. P. Moore and brother are feeding
100 head of steers on spoiled wheat, on
Tygh Eidge. They find the experiment
more than satisfactory,' as they get a
market for their grain at good figures,
besides a good sale for their beeves at
stall-fed prices. Messrs. Jas. Moore and
Polk Butler are also feeding 100 head of
steers on damaged wheat. They report
that the fattening process is all that they
desire: ' '' - " -.

Closing Ode A Class
The judges, after a short deliberation,
awarded the prize to No. 6, which gave
general satisfaction, as evidenced by the
first applause of the evening. The
Btnsical selections were very pretty and
well rendered. Daring the titue the
judges were deliberating Rev. J. W
Jenkins talked most agreeably upon the
subject of temperance, furnishing much
information that the public did not
know. The Dalles Juvenile Temple is
the largest in the state. Mrs. Barnett
deserves great credit for her single
hearted efforts in this cause, and is doing
a great work in this city. She has
reason to be proud, too, of her juvenile
order. Children are always interesting
-and they appeared to splendid advantage
last evening when closing the entertain
ment ' by marching across the rostrum
and through the aisles, following the
banner of the order. Mrs. Barnett's
only embarrassment was in affixing the
medal to her own child, for which she
made -a short apology. The judges did
not know whose child it was or they
would have relieved her of the delicate
duty. ' - "
Whist Frivolities.
Mr. and Mrs. S. P. M. Briggs enter
tained the Union Whist Club royally
last -night at Fraternity hall. It being
Valentine's evening each guest was pre
sented with a pretty valentine with the
compliments of the host and hostess,
There were a number of invited guests
present to share the pleasures of the
evening, and at the close of the score
the first honors, a beautiful sofa pillow,
was taken away by Mrs. L. E. Crowe,
and the second was presented to a suc
cessful young lady whose name we do
not recall at present. The order was
given out to clear the room of carpets,
etc., and Miss Alma Schmidt seated her
seir. at tne -piano, wnen the merry
dance was the concluding part of the
entertainment. , "

Mr. N. Harris' Account of the "Change"?
'l' Elsewhere.
The
Bottom Ba Dropped Oat of the
Sound , Country Despair of a,
.BeUlsrham Bay Woman
Chicago's- IMre Distress.
Mr. N. Harris returned last evening
from a trip through the Sound country,
over the Canadian Pacific in British
Columbia, and through the EaBt. Mr.
Harris is a close observer, a shrewd
financier, and his experiences should be
of value in determining the general con
dition of affairs throughout the country.
To begin with he does not talk very
hopefully.-. He has been a resident of
this country more than twenty years
and he says he never saw such a crisis
as exists at the present time. . Beliing
ham Bay he describes as a beautiful
city, with, wide, paved streets, lined by
beautiful Btone buildings. '- Hardly any
sign of life is to be noted. For blocks
windows are broken and the houses de
serted. There is no money in circula
tion and business is almost totally sus
pended. He ate dinner at a finely
appointed restaurant, and besides him
self only one other man occupied the
dining room. Standing on the corner
by a hotel he saw a woman and a little
girl walking on the opposite side of the
street. ' The woman hastened her steps,
apparently trying to walk away from the
child. The latter, in alarm, said.
"Where are you going, mamma?" She
replied in a tone of desperation : "I
don't care where I go. I would rather
go to hell than remain here." Those
who had money have left and those who
have no money are compelled to remain.
At another place in the Sound' country
he went in the postoffice to buy 10 cents
worth of stamps about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. As he paid for them the
postmaster remarked : . "That is the first
money taken in today." Mr. Harris
thinks that the reason of the greater
stringency in the bound country over
Oregon is due to "booming" and over
building.
In British Columbia, on the line of
the Canadian Pacific, he was surprised
to find the state of affairs reversed. The
people seem contented and no one is
suffering. Work is ordinarily . plentiful
at good wages. A resident said to him
"We have not got such fine buildings as
in St. Paul and Chicago, but we have
plenty to eat."
At Chicago the scenes of distress were
renewed. The wife of one of his friends
was knocked down and robbed at 9
o'clock in the morning on a public
street while doing some marketing,
Strong men may be seen sweeping the
streets, and are only allowed three
hours a day. They are. paid only with
food and a very mean quality at that,
Even women are thus employed. The
weather was so cold, eaid Mr. Harris
that if one poked their head out of doors
he would get his nose frozen off, and in
such an atmosphere, women, thinly
clad and in one instance, a man with
only one -shoe on, were sweeping the
streets to procure food. Everyone
praying for another election to hurry
around and, mentally, are clothed in
sackcloth and ashes for voting for the
change. Chicago will' go republican
next time by a pheopmenal majority,
the -disposition being to vote the straight
ticket, down to constable, and, even if
a democratic candidate happens to be
more agreeable to thenL personally, they
will vote for the republican anyway, as
a sort of self-inflicted penance. Their
remorse is deeply rooted, and they have
come to realize that the suffrage is not
a thing to trifle with.
. Speaking of the jobbing trade, he says
merchants are buying only to fill, in
broken tines, and do not, as heretofore,
order an entire line of goods. Others
go Ttnd - buy nothing, representing only
as a matter ;of ' form," and for business
ends.
. . Speaking of The Dalles, Mr. Harris
says he believes that it is today the best
town in the United States, and that we
don't know what hard times are. Asked
if he thought we should finally be over
taken by the same' fate as exists in the
East, he said no ; everyone here is in
moderate (Circumstances, and - is pro
vided against the commercial famine.
Few here live from hand to mouth, like
the thousands in the larger cities, and
there is a reserve fund which will fulfill
all requirements. We may be pinched,
but never crashed. He concluded with
a comparison of our climate over that of
Illinois, and said we are not half 'appre
ciative enough of the blessings we enjoy.
