JULY 8,
THE WOOL MARKETS.
Among the incidents
wool markets during the past few days
is the heavy buying of Americans in the
London market, 800 bales having been
there purchased for shipment to the
United States, and the sale of 1,450,000
pounds in New York ; besides over 600,
000 pounds of pulled wool for shipment
to China to carpet manufacturers. If
this latter report is true, the Pacific
coast may yet find a market for its wool
which' has never been counted upon.
The Chinese are skillful in the manu
facture of tapestries of certain kinds,
labor is "cheap, and with the introduc
tion of approved machinery, there is no
Mason why China will not compete with
the world in the carpet business. The
opening of every new market is a benefit
to the producer, affd this will prove no
exception to the rule.
On the other hand, the purchase of
large shipments in London by Ameri
cans is corroborative of the republican
contention that free 'wool is destructive
to the sheep business here.
THE DALLES ENVIED.
The example of The Dalles, in Eastern
Oregon, ia worthy of imitation. Not
having competition in transportation
they formed a steamboat company and
were successful in controlling the freight
business. The effect on the business of
the town was very apparent as it im
proved greatly. Now The Dalles is be
coming a great competive point in
freights and the railroads are bidding
for the trade. What has been done
there could be done in Independence.
West Side.
The fame of The Dalles is going
throughout the whole Northwest as the
one city which has mastered the trans
portation problem. Five years ago we
were in the grip of a single company,
and our freight rates were That it
wished to charged. Now, thanks to the
patriotic citizens who built and have
maintained the boat line, the freight
tariff has been so greatly reduced that
there is not another city which possesses
any advantage over The Dalles. Well
may Independence wish for greater
water competition and for men like
those who made our boat line possible
and set in motion the causes that will
make the "Gate City" of Eastern Ore
gon prosperous and great.
NEW GRAIN SCHEDULE.
The O. R. & N. have fixed a new grain
schedule to go into effect today. The
new rate from The Dalles is $2.20 per
ton, instead of $2.65 as heretofore. The
new rate from Desch'ntes, Biggs and
Grants is $2.75 instead of $3.05. The
Tate from The Dalles is still 55 cents per
ton less than from any point in Sherman
county, and the deduction from The
Dalles is 45 cents, while from points-in
Sherman the deduction is 30 cents.
This is another forcible argument in
favor of an open river, and another
feather in the Regulator transportation
company's cap. With an open river
Sherman county will wield the cudgel,
bat until then they will have to do as
wo did prior to Regulator day6 grin
and bear it.
To the Enrron: Hon. J. C. Murphy
died at his home near Antelope
j in is murmiJg a.1 u ciuca. 'ui uuhluo
1895 1 B;on Qf lne brain, caused by inju
I ries received in a runaway July 4th. At
j that time Mr. Murphy was in good
health, and driving, in company with
E. M. Sbutt, its his open cart, to see the
races. Just before reaching the race
track his horee became frightened and
ran away, breaking the cart and throw
ing the occupants out, Mr. Murphy
alighting on his head. He was consid
erably stunned, but nothing serious was
thought of it at the time, as he rode his
horse home that evening and made but
little complaint as to any pain; but
next morning he became unconscious.
Dr. Filkington was nastily summoned,
and worked faithfully with him for
twenty-two hours, but of no avail ; he
remained unconscious most of the time.
At 5 o'clock thi3 morning he rallied for
! a short time and bade his family good
bye, soon sinking again into uncon
sciousness, a ften which the end eoon
came quietly and peacefully.
Mr. Murphy leaves a wife and six
children living, thirteen grandchildren
and a host of friends to mourn his loss.
His wife and two children, Creed and
Mrs. Clark, and several grandchildren
were with him when death came. His
daughter, Mrs. Wiley of The Dalles, has
been sent for, and is expected to arrive
in time to attend the funeral at Ante
lope, tomorrow at 2 p. m. His eldest
son, Charley,, and his two youngest
children, Ed and Fanny, are visiting
near Silverton, and do not yet know the
sad misfortune which has befallen them ;
while two daughters, Mrs. McGreer and
a little girl, preceded their father to the
grave.
Mr. Murphy has lived on bis ranch
adjoining town for over seventeen years.
He was among the early settlers, was
widely known and universally esteemed
Mr. Murphy has been a life-long repub
lican, an earnest, consistent worker,
and bad a state reputation for bis sound
principals. He was a delegate to the
late state convention, and was the
father-in-law of Hon. Henry McGreer,
joint representative for Wasco and Sher
man county. ' Mr. Murphy was a polit
ical writer of considerable note, and con
tributed almost weekly to the political
columns "of the local papers. He was
also a speaker of great ability at all con
ventions and public gatherings. In dis
position he was kind and jovial, having
a pleasant word for all and malice to
ard none. Many a heart will be sad
dened bv the news of his sudden death.
The entire .community sympathizes
with the " bercaTed family, for in his
death they lose a kind and loving hus
band and father, and the country one of
its most highly honored and respected
citizens He was npwardB of 60 years of
age. but was in good health, with the
prospect of many years of life still be
fore Lim. Peace to his memory.

OUR STREETS.
Most of the streets of The Dalles would
be in Rood condition were it not for the
loose rock in them. One does not real
ize how rough this loose rock renders
the street until he rides over them on a
- bicycle or in a carriage. A very little
time spent in clearing up these stones
would be appreciated by everyone who
rises the streets. Marshal-Street-Corn-missioner
Elakeney will confer a favor
on all citizens by giving this matter at-
tention. We suggest that he begin on
Third and Fourth streets, east of Wash-
ington. -
. The Dalles has one of the best orches
tras in the state, and is proud of it, as
we have a right to be. But everyone is
not able to enjo3' the music as given at
public entertainments. In other cities
arrangements are made for free open air
concerts once a week, or once a fortnight
during the summer, and in times past
our .city has done the same. There are
several vacant lots, centrally located,
.upon which a stand coulS no doubt be
erected at small expense, and with a
little encouragement, we believe the
boys could be induced to favor us by
occasional concerts. Who will take the
matter in hand and see what can be
done in this respect?
An Qccallftt of Experience.
Dr. J. P. Lewenberg, an eye specialist
of 25 years experience, is now at the
Umatilla House, where he will examine
eyes for defective vision. He uses Only
the latest and approved methods in the

questions of the patient, but reads the

scope as you would a book. All defects
of vision are corrected by carefully pre
pared lenses. He invites physicians
and scientific people to investigate his
method. No charge for examination.
Children's eyes examined and rating
given in printed form available for school
purposes free of charge. All who suffer
with headache, dizziness or pain in eyes
are invited to call and have the eyes ex
amined. If you have glasses that make
your eyes ache bring them to me and I
will show you the cause.
Dr. Lewenberg is not a spectacle
peddler nor travelling optician, but was
compelled by ill health to leave a lucra
tiye practice of 20 years at Philadelphia
and seek health in, this genial clime,
He takes this method of acquainting
himself with the. peoole of this coast
his future home.
