. The Lutherans and Pastor.
Rev. L. 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."

' 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.
