George Herbert was in from Grants
today. The distillery expects to start
the 15th of the month, and the citizens
of Grant are greatly rejoiced thereat.
Already 200 cattle .and 400 hogs have
been purchased by . the company and
-
will be fattened and sold in the Portland
market. Mr. J. W. Walker, the man
ager ot the company, has been lying
almost at the point .of death, but is a
good deal improved now. The company
has been re-organized under the name
of the Pacific Milling and Distilling Co.
Word was received in town today of
an attempt at robbing Moore Bros, store
night before last at Moro. The robbers
broke in the side door leading to the
office and brought with them tools for
opening the safe. The miscreants must
have been frightened away in some
manner, for they relinquished the job,
leaving their tools on the floor. Noth
ing of value was taken, bat if tbe rob
bers bad made good their intention,
they would probably have secured
enough to pay them for their trouble.
There is no clue to the perpetrators.
Hon. D. M. French returned last night
from Corvallis, where he attended a meet
ing of the Agricultural college regents.
While there, Mr. French inquiried con
cerning the Kaffir corn, 'mention of
which baa been made in this paper. He
was told that the Bubject was one that
had been considered,but the corn was not
taken into much account as a euitable
product for the Willamette valley. No
reason was shown, however, why if
properly cultivated the growing of the
corn might not be a suitable thing for
Eastern Oregon. Ex-Governor Moody,
who is in town today, is thinking of
trying the planting of some Kaffir corn
seed as an experiment. The outcome
will be watched with interest.
Since the discussion has begun about
celebrating the opening of the locks, con
siderable interest is being occasioned in
cities by the river. The' matter of cele
brating the event in a proper manner is
being talked of in Vancouver, and the
Columbian of that city suggests to the
Commercial club the propriety of ap
pointing delegates to meet those from
Astoria and The Dalles for the purpose
of looking up the matter of the locks
celebration. The appointing of a com
mittee would be a good thing, and we
trust, that the Commercial clubs of the
three cities will take the desired action.
Tbe Dalles club, at its next meeting,
should take some move with regard to
Mr. Gray's request.
Down at the locks the contractors are
preparing for a mammoth blast, one
which will stir up things considerably.
Over fifty holes have been drilled, and
when filled with explosives will be set
off all at once with the aid of electricity.
Tbe blasts are being put in at the lower
end of the canal, where a lot of solid
rock needs to be taken out. This blast
is expected to loosen the rock so that
the remaining work will be mainly to
clean up the debris. The gates are all
hung and the pipes for the hydraulic
working of the locks are laid and ready
for tbe connections to-be made. Daring
the good weather a large number of men
are at work, and though a variance of
opinion exists as to when the locks will
be finished, the belief is becoming
strengthened that March 1st will see the
canal ready for the passage of a boat.
To the industries at The Dalles has
been added, dnring the last two years,
that of sturgeon fishing. These fish
have recently been found to possess
value in the eastern markets, and a
ready sale is found for them both in the
East and at home. Repulsive as the
looks of the sturgeon may be, there
seem to be many people who like tbe
flavor of the flesh, and whenever a
catch is made, tbe lucky fisherman is
sure of a neat little sum for his trouble.
From The Dalles to Hood River stur
geon lines are placed at intervals. The
manner of catching the fish is rather
peculiar. A long line is sunk in the
river with hooks placed in a row at a
distance from one another of about a
foot. The line is sunk to near the bot
tom of the river, and the theory is that
the sturgeon in their cavortings will run
against the hooks and get caught. Not
only is the theory good, but it works all
right in practice, as some of the fisher
men last winter are said to have made as
much as $2000 for their season's work.
Monday will see the floor laid tor the
bowling alley, gymnasium and billiard
room in the Commercial and Athletic
Club building. The woVk has been de
layed a few days oa account of the luna
ber being damp, necessitating a drying
out. The carpentersXre rushing it now,
however, and no further delays are ex
pected. The gymnasium goods have
been ordered, and are probably now on
the way. Some of the apparatus comes
from Providence, Rhode Island, but tbe
most of it was ordered from Chicago.
The appliances for gymnastics will be
very complete, consisting of apparatus
for light and heavy exercise. Chest
developers, rings, a trapeze, and all
other suitable paraphernalia, has been
carefully selected, and the gymnasium
committee expect this part of the club
to rank well with any other gymnasium
in the Northwest. Several club mem
bers from Portland, who have visited the
rooms in the Grant building, declare
that the arrangements are very conven
ient, and The Dalles will have a club of
which any city might 'well be proud.
Excelsior Clnb Masquerade.
A large crowd of spectators and a good
number of maskers attended the mas
querade ball given by the Excelsior
Club at the armory last evening. The
affair was in every way successful, and
considerable interest was taken by the
spectators in tbe costumes seen npon
the floor. Some of the dresses were
quite elegant, and tbe usual number of
amusing characters were to be seen.
The music was furnished by an orches
tra under the leadership of W. A. Miller,
some of ' the members coming from
Dufur and Tygh valley. Last night's
ball was the first masquerade dance
given this season, and tbe novelty of it
had much to do with the success. The
