too much of an athlete, and refused to

Arrival of Ochoco Ore.
The first news from the Ochoco mines
is in. the substantial form of 1,250 pounds
of ore which was freighted to The Dalles
and consigned. to the Wasco warehouse,
arriving last night. The ore is sul-
phurets of iron and is very heavy. The
letter : that came with it ordered that
1,000 pounds of it be shipped lathe Ta
coma Smelting and mining Co., the 250
pounds remaining to be : held awaiting
orders. The shipment was brought in
by Sichel's freight teams. No estimate
can be made here of its value, but con
sidering that Mr. Kluge, who came from
Chicago as a mining expert and assayer,
is now located at the mine, it is very
probable - that -the ore must be rich to
warrant the, expense of shipping 1,000
pounds of it by team 100 miles.and then
by rail to Tacoma. '' '
Announcement.
I wish, to announce to the dealers and
the smoking public that I am now
manufacturing strictly first-class .cigars
in The Dalles and am here to stay. I
use nothing but the finest : imported
stock and can compete successfully with
Eastern and imported,, goods, because
the import duty and freight is much less
on raw material tnan . it is on manu
factured goods. My eighteen years ex
perience makes me duly qualified- to
select the finest stock, on which my suc
cess depends. My "Regulator" brand
is made by hand of Havana tobacco
grown in the famous . Vuelta Abajo dis
trict of Cuba ; there is nothing finer in
the world. , Call lor , the "Regulator."
It is a good thing, push it along.

That the drug "stores of the city, by
paying $150 annually, have the privilege
of selling liquor in . quantities not lees

It is thought that. since liquor must be
sold anyway that the, town corporation
may as well have the benefit of the li
cense money; 'and with the above re
strictions the new ordinance is the wisest
way of settling the question.

. , - The candidacy of Walter H. Moore for
joint senator is said to be bothering the
unterrified -democracy ' 'of ie, Sherman
county with a very threat bother. Lead
ing Democrats over there have been
working a scheme for fusion with the
Populists for all there is in it. Two
special missionaries, fresh from a meet
ing held at Grants, visited the city yes
terday, -It is understood they Wanted
Moore's Democratic opponent to resign
in favor of a Populist from Sherman
county. It is also understood the gen
tleman refused to resign, and some other
scheme will have to be resorted to.
i. The outlook for Mr. Moore's defeat is
not very encouraging. According to the
last election returns his opponent would
need to have every -Democratic - and
every Populist vote in the county and
twenty-five more from somewhere else.
This does not reckon the certainty that
Mr. Moore will get a great 'big majority
in Wasco county. "
Outwitted by Coyotes.
An amusing incidentoccured the other
day .on the Lemon farm near, Garfield,
Wash. Burt Lemon and an employe of
the farm were plowing, when they came
across three young coyote pups, which
had not yet opened-their -eyes. While
they were examining them the old ones
appeared and approached to,, within 50
yards. Mr. : Lemon went back to the
house for a gun and a sack, and placed
the young ones in a sack, which was tied
up and left in. the field until time to go
in from work. The old coyotes kept a
respectful distance from the rifle, but
hovered around. Several turns of 'the
field were made with the plow and
finally, when the men came in sight of
where they had left the sack containing
the young coyotes, they saw one of the
eld ones, with the sack, puppies and all,
streak it over the hill, and that was the
last seen of them.
