Grey, the new minister of the Lutheran church here, is rapidly build ing up a large congregation, and his efforts deserve to be crowned with the fullest success, as they doubtless will be. He is a good worker. He finds there are about 150 men and women in The Dalles who have at some time past belonged to the Lutheran church a larger membership, he believes, than any other Protestant church in thecity. Many are slow in attending services, having been out of the habit of attend ing church for so long, but all have con tributed generously to the work. Mr. Grey finds plenty of reason to be thank ful for the way the church work is pro gressing, and soon this noble old church organization may have an edifice of its own in The Dalles, v Dynamic Did It. ' S. B. Baisley, who is operating the Nelson placer ' mines in Baker county, which are fed by the waters from the reservoir that recently gave way, re-' suiting in the death of seven people, in speaking of the catastrophe to a Pendle ton Tribune representative said that th his opinion the reservoir was blown np with dynamite : "I am satisfied that this is .the cause .of the accident," said he, ."and I think I can place my hands1 on the man who did it. There was a', loud report heard in the vicinity of the! reservoir the day before the dam gave away and in my opinion it had some-! thing to do with what followed.. There' are some people who will reBort to any extreme to do one an injury, withou any regard to the consequences that m ay be visited upon innocent, victims. That reservoir always has been safe, and I still maintain that it would' be there to this . day had . it not been tampered with." , - River Readings.

' GOT ONLY A FOURTH. Five Hundred and Fifty-Two Dollar -for the Loss of a TV heel. . ' Mr. J. M. Huntington returned last night from Portland, where be has been as a witness in the right of way cases of the proposed boat railway. Mr. Huntington save the award of damages in Mr. Michell's case was very disappointing, and contrary' to the in structions of the court, who saw that Mr. Michell was damaged very ' materi ally. In fact, says Mr. Huntington, Michell was damaged more than any of the others, for he loses entirely a good fishing site by the right of way crossing the channel. Mr. Michell had said he wanted no damage whatever if the right of way did not cut him out of - a fish wheel, and if the road was farther from the river he did not want a cent, but would be glad to aid the road by giving it a free right of way over bis land. It was afterwards found impracticable - to change the' survey, however. The present survey has but two curves in eleven miles, and the route cannot be changed. Mr. Michell asked $4,000 damages for a two-thirds interest. The other suits to be decided are fiv I. H. Taffe and Theo. Seufert. Taffe claims a damage of $25,000. He loses no wheels but has a sidetrack from the O. R. & N. line to his fishery, thus en abling him to ship fish in refrigerator cars. The building of the boat railwav between his fishery and the O. R. & N. line will prevent him from having a sidetrack, which will be a damage to his business. Killed by a Runaway. V ed re While Mr, Perry Watkins and a hired umeu wuiiam juarsnaii were i m i i . , . . coming to town this morning in a hack, they were run into by a runaway team from behind, driven by Mr. Irvine Julian.

The tongue of Julian's wagon, with the neckyoke, struck Wat kins and Marshall in the back, thrust ing them forward over the hack, which then paBsed over them, as well as the horses and wagon . belonging to Mr. Julian. One of the horses stepped upon Mr. Watkins'body. When he was found it was discovered that he was injured internally and bis mjunes proved fatal. He died two hours later at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. C. E Bayard, herehewaju&nveyed j.uo tuici injury to air. .Marsha I wan a broken foot, which will lay him np for several weeks.
