Juet noiv the farmers of the Grande
Konde valley are engaged in putting un
hay, but the crop is so heavy that in
some sections much ot it wilf be left
Etanding. Huge stacks dot the vaHey
throughout its length and breadth. It
will be but a few days before the farm
ers turn their attention to the grain har
vest. Tampa, a fleet footed animal owned
by Keeney Bros., Long Creek, Or., was
sold recently at Anaconda, Mont., to W.
F. Matlock of Pendleton. The consider
ation was $700. Tampa has made quite
a reputation in Montana, winning a
half mile handicap race against some of
the beat animals. She has passed into
the hands of an experienced race horse
man.
Prof. D. M. Bristol, with his wonder
ful performing horses, will open a two
nights' engagement at the Vogt opera
house next Monday evening. . The
troupe consists of thirty horBes, who
perform the most wondertul tricks, gen
erally considered impossible for animals
to do. The most intelligent and accom
plished of these animals is Sultan, who
has achieved international reputation as
the horse mathematician. He works
sums in arithmetic, tells the time", and
even gives the proper answer to ques
tions proposed bv persons m the audi
ence. The skill and sagacity of these
horses seem to require the exercise of
reasoning faculty. There will be a mat
inee Tuesday afternoon. The Baltimore
Telegram of a recent date says : "Prof.
Bristol's Eques-Curriculum, at Ford's
' Grand Opera House, has been called
'marvels of equine intelligence,' and
without doubt they are. They can't
talk, but they do nearly everything else,
and their series of acts and tricks elicit
the most rapturous applause, and many
a dramatic artist would feel highly hon
ored to secure one-half the plaudits
ehowered on these dumb animals."
The Dalles has a Bohemia club. It
would be hard to define just what a Bo
hemia club is, so different in character
is it from all other clubs. Especially is
it different in the primal particular of
membership. The only requisite is
braine, and the more of that a member
has the higher is his caste. It is the
only qualification for degrees. His be
lief may take any shade end appertain
to any realm of thought either in sei
ence, politics or religion, if he has tb
brains to successfully defend his chose:
hobby he is entitled to and receiyes a
due deference and respect. In such a
atmosphere liberty of thought takes t
widest range and some of the discussion
would be permitted in few countries be-
sides America, where freedom of speech
i9 guaranteed.
Another oddity of this club is that its
meeting place is a place of business in
the city. It meets at no particular hour
and any hour is regular. The discus
sions which have been carried on in this
place have at times been very brilliant,
generally interesting, always spirited.
The brightest minds of the city have
been attracted therein, persons high in
public esteem and possessed of acknowl
edged argumentative ability. Here
some of these have been fairly met and
matched by intelligences theretofore
bidden by the mediocrities of life. But
having once been inducted into this hall
of mingled cults and beliefs, they are
ever afterward possessed by a spirit
which attracts them to the same arena,
to engage again and again in intellectual
battle.-
A few days ago a couple of enthusi
astic disputants violated the unwritten
work of the club by the war of words
changing to another form of battle not
conducive to the maintenance of the
Apollo-like beauty of the combatants.
Tho effect was disastrous in the matter
of endangering the life of the club. Its
continued existence was threatened, for
the next morning the sign appeared :
: "Please don't talk politics in here." :
The genial smile of the shop-keeper
had vanished, and the place was other
wise deserted. No more the wails re-.
sounded with oratory, eloquence orf
logic. . Silent industry was the order od
the day. ,
We do not know just how long the'
sign remained, but only a few days later
the reporter happened in and observed
that the sign was taken down. . The
grieved expression on the face of the
shop-keeper had given place to the old
smile, and in response to a question, he
said be had again opened the doors to
the old life. And now again are heard
the worldly combats of its habitues, as
the members of the Bohemia club as
semble in threes and fours at the Wash
ington street tailor shop to discuss the
all-absorbing questions of the hour to
give and take, to wrestle and wrangle,
but through it all, to whatever heights
the impassioned voice and thought may j
reach, there ever appears before the eye i
C i1 ; i -1 i , ... . i i . I
ui me iuibu mat cara wun me ureaa
words upon it, "Please don't talk poli
tics in here," a dread warning and a
shameful reminder of the lapse of ethics
of the Bohemian club. -
Settle It Yonrself.
MR. SHERAR RETURNS.
He Explains the Whole Situation
Very Clear Manner.
1
Jos. Sherar returned last nigh
om Portland. He says that he be
leves a test case will be made of one of
the sheep companies, which will decide
the fortunes of all the rest. The one
selected he thinks will be the Tyeh
Valley Live Stock Co., in which the
Messrs. French are heavy stockholders,
and that the trial will occur in a short) I
time.
Speaking of the effects upon sheep
men that the trial would have if it
6hould go against them, Mr. Sherar
said : "It we are compelled to remove
our sheep from the reserve it will mean
the ruination of the sheepmen, and with
them the balance of the country, includ
ing The Dalles. The greatest industry,
the one bringing the most money into
the country, is the sheep and wool busi
ness, and if that is killed, it kills every
thing else. There is not enough range
elsewhere in the country to graze ouri
sheep, and if we are compelled to re-J
move them from it, the sheep will drivej
every hoof of horses and cattle from
the established summer ranges for than
stock in Wasco county. I believe the!
trouble has been caused by one or two
injudicious sheep owners who drove
their bands to the range where the Bull
Run pipe line gets their water to suppH
Portland. The bands of sheep have
polluted the water more or less and it ia
but natural the citizens should take
measures of precaution to preserve the
(purity of their domestic supply. 1 be
lieve they are aided by another class of
seople whose interests are against the
iheep grazing in the mountains. Those
ire the sports who want to preserve the
game. They have their friends who
come to visit them from the East and
across the water and thev naturally
want to give them the pleasures of the
chase. But the sheepmen do not inter.
fere with the game. The game is above
them. There is no truth in the allega
tion that the sheepmen have fired th
range. It !s against their Interests V
1 I I 1 T ,
uo idhii, ana is aangerous as well.
Those forest fires sometimes travel faster
than a band of sheep can run."
Btrerar hay uuuapieheliu.ed the
whole situation pretty well in the above
conversation.. It is not probable that
the U. S. courts will - strike so direct a
blow at a large industry as to compel
the sheepmen off the range, thereby
paralyzing the business of a large frac
tion of the state. There is a slight
grievance at the root of the matter
which we believe will be fully remedied
without involving all the sheep owners
who have been summoned to appear as
defendants. . "
A great many citizens are wondering
who has the right to wear the marshal's
star. We publish today the law appli
cable to the case, and anyone of a judi
cial turn of mind may ponder over it
and draw bis own , conclusions. The
amended laws of Oregon for 1895, which
is the latest authority, has the following
under , heading of "Organization and
Powers of the Council :"
Chapter 5, section 27: A majority of
the council shall constitute a quorum to
do business.
Chapter 5, section 32: The concur
rence of a majority of a quorum is a
sufficient majority to determine any
question or matter other than the final
passage of an ordinance and the appoint
ment or removal of an officer.
BORN.
In this city, August 5th, to the wife of
C. B. Johnston, a daughter.
Sixteen farms in the vicinity of Pen
dleton, some in Oregon and some in
Washington, have been harvested, and
the returns show the average to have
been Z bushels of wheat and 60 bush
els of barley to the acre, with the qual
ity fair. The heaviest yield so far.re
ported is 60 bushels. This was by
Philip Young.
Reduction in Railroad Fares.
As there will be numerous requests
for reduced rates on account of political
meetings during the coming contest, it
has been decided that in order to treat
all parties alike, a one fare rate will be
made by the O. R. & N. Co. tor various
meetings of this character.
This of course is intended only for oc
casions where there is sufficient number
to justify a reduction in rates. This is
done so that there wiL1 be no partiality
in favor of any one party.
