Our story is short. We have some Men's Shoes, the regular
retail values of which are $4.00, $5.00, $6.00. The Shoes are
first-class, serviceable, good lasts, made by good shoemakers,
such as Burt & Packard and others of like reputation ; but
they are button instead of lace or congress. Now in these
close time3 can you afford to : pass these by at $1.95 and pay
$5.00 for a pair no better, just because they are not Congress.
Perhaps this will not appeal to the ultra-fashionable young
man; but to others that are" not sacrificing money and com
fort entirely to style, our statement should have some weight.

would make Portland a market for the

of importing its cured meats and lards,

digging a trench through the side of his

At one of these places a nice cool spring

There appears to be veins of water near

The Branch Asylum.

Sylvester. : PennOyer, Phil Metschan,
and George W. McBride, in the capacity
as the board of commissioners of public
buildinga of the state of Oregon, appel-
ants, appeal from' Marion county," bet
ter known as the injunction suit against
the location and erection of the Eastern
Oregon branch insane asylum, will be
heard by the supreme court on Thurs
day, September 6th. This case was ap
pealed to the supreme court after the
February, 1894, term of the circuit court
for Marion county. The papers were
filed with Clerk Murphy about the 22nd
of March and the mattar will come cp
in its regular order. This is an import
ant case and the final decision will be
awaited with much interest. : Borham &

They Had Them On.
Jim Cottony and Joe Thomas, Indi
anB, were arrested yesterday lor stealing
a watch. They were .kept apart,' one
being confined in the city jail, and one
in the county jail. One of them finally
weakened and confessed to taking the
watch, and in company with an officer
went to where he had it hidden and re
turned it. At the same time Mr. Hony-
will had made complaint about some
one taking two or three pairs of pants
from his store. An examination of the
prisoners disclosed the fact that each of
them had on two pairs of pants, one of
each being new. and these were mdenti-
fied as the garments stolen from Mr,
Hony will. They were taken before Jug'
tice Davis this morning -charged with
larceny from a store. We fancy a de
fense of insanity might he successfully
set up, for no sane man would go around
with a double outfit of breeches on with
the thermometer standing at 97.'

To Badger X.ake.
While those who were unable to leave
town have been enduring the swelter
ing August heat as best they could,
others have been . making the most of
the cool, rarified atmosphere of the
mountains, and from time to time dur
ing the entire heated term various par
ties have been going and coming from
the various 1 esorts. We venture to say,
however, that no more enjoyable time
has been experienced than that of
Messrs. D. S. Dufur, Wm. Young, H. H.
Riddell and Frank Menefee, who, armed
with a complete camp equipment and its
complement of guns and fishing rods,
lelt a few days Bince for tne nign mount
ains in which 15-Mile creek nas its
source.' -v .'.
A day spent on the road found them
esconeed in a snug camp on the head
waters of 15-Mile, a short distance from
the place where the body of the outlaw,
Hays, was found. ."A short time was
paesed at this camp, when they moved
a few miles further Into tbe mountains
to Rambey springs, preparatory to a
trip over the range ''to Badger - lake.
H. Gihons and F. Pundt, and later on
Frank' Klein and Otis Savage came in,
all bound for the lake. Here also the
road ended and the camp outfit had to
be packed on the backs of horses.
Sunday , afternoon they moved up to
the source of 8-Mile. The aurora bore
alia of that night were' seen very clearly
from camp, and in the clear atmosphere
of the high mountains presented a very
beautiful sight. On Monday a tramp of
a few miles brought them to the summit
of ' Mt. Gunngewhack, at an , attitude
of nearly 9000 feet, and scrambling np
over the deep snow banks that cover its
summit they could see the lake, almost
at their feet, lying in a very deep, horse
shoe shaped canyon, about 3000 feet be
low them. .. The view from this point
beggars description and is certainly" one
of the most magnificant in all the Cas
cade mountains. After a - short time
spent in. resting and admiring the grand
scenery, the steep descent of Gunge
whack was commenced. It was tedious
work for the pack horses could move but
slowly, as a misstep might cause a severe
accident; hut all went well and the lake
was reached about the middle of the
afternoon, and a very pretty camp made
on its shore. ' A number of grouse had
been shot on the way in and with plenty
of lake trout, and -the provisions taken
in tlitfre was no danger of a famine
though appetites were nnormous. The
first iiitcht spent at the lake shortly after
retiring, the measured tread of some
large animal was beard a short distance
frm ttieir beds. , Thoughts of panthers
and other fierce animals at once rushed
throuith the heads of those hearing it,
and a rush was made in full dress for
the rifles. While the best shots in the
party were endeavoring to get a shot,
one rushed to the fire and threw a pile
of tlrifd fir bouehs on the coals which at
once burst into, a fierce blaze and the
euxar 'at once fled without giving
opMrtntiity for a shot. -
After a couple ., of - days fishing the
party retraced their steps up the steep
sides f Ganngewhack and camped at
High prairie and .-worked their way by
easy stages hunting and fishing down to
their headquarters at Ramsey, where
thf v secured their team and returned to
The Dalles. - . ....
A Strange Animal.
From Hon. E. B. Dufur, who has been
quietly investigating the circumstances
We have again on hand
an abundance of strictly-
dry FIR WOOD, which
we will sell at the lowest
rates. ' ; ;.
KIAIER t BENTON.
concerning tbe visit of a panther to the t
camp of Menfee. Riddell and others at
Badger lake, we learn that tbe matter is
really of more Importance than the gen
tlemen named are disposed to admit.
They all say that it was a panther, but
they have told this story , because they
do not desire to lose their reputation for
truth and veracity. Mr. Dufur tella us
that they admit to hiia quietly that the
animal, whatever it was,; was much
larger. . than any conger. , When first
seen its eyes shone with ; a deep red
gleam like President Cleveland's, when
the Gorman bill was submitted to him,
and that each eye was larger than the
full moon in September. When fright
ened by the big . blaze . made by Mr.
Young, the animal fled along the edge of
the lake breaking down trees over a foot
in diameter and leaving a path of broken
trees over thirty feet wide. The tracks
of the animal were nearly round, meas
uring a trifle oyer four feet in diameter.
The animal sunk a foot Into the solid
ground at each step, Mr. Dufur thinks
it
was an icthyosauru6,,but the gentle-
men. wbosaw .it are of the opinion it
was either a pterodactyl or an onomas
ticon. In our opinion it certainly could
be identified by a thorough study of the
atter. At any rate we fail to see why a
fish-lizzard should have tackled a fishing
party's camp for fish are generally
scarcer there than anywhere. . . ;
The Firemen's Meeting.
The firemen had a meeting last night
to complete arrangements for attending
the tournament. . - In the absence of
Chairman Fish, H. J. Maier presided.
The committee on transportation re
ported, and was discharged. ' . ,
On motion a committee of three, con
sisting of Judge Liebe, C. C. Cooper and
H. Whitmore, was appointed to have
charge of the transportation of the en
gine. - , . v. , .. '
On motion W. H. Lochhead was in
structed to have fifty-two badges made,
white body with-red letters, and the
words "Dalles City Fire Department"
thereon.
It was decided to start Sunday, going
by rail. The fare for the round trip to
Portland will be $3, and this to every
body who goes, whether firemen or not.
