JIM LANGILLE AND . THE MULE.
Jim Fed Blm
. Bisnop Cranston.
A. rare treat will be afforded the peo
ple of The Dalles in the coming of Bish
op Cranston to our city today. He is
resident bishop of the Methodist Epis
copal church for the Northwest. The
bishop is a native of Ohio, educated in
the Ohio, university. The president of
this ecbool paid him the distinguishing
compliment Of being the best all-around
scholar ' that - bad been graduated from
the institution in the twenty-five years
of bis connection therewith as president.
He left the university to enter the ser
vice of bis country in the hour of ber
great peril.'
- As pastor be became widely and favor
ably known. As presiding elder in the
Colorado conference be made for him
self a most extraordinary reputation for
administrative ability and executive
force. Twelve years as agent of the
Western Publishing Honse of Cincin
nati he achieved a reputation never ear
passed, if equalled, in the history of
church work in this department. His
extensive experience in business circles,
thorough acquaintance with this western
country and rare executive ability, most
thoroughly fit him to meet the perplex
ing problems of Jhese times.
As a preacher he is clear, logical and
eloquent. His lectures are bighlv pop
ular and sparkle with witticisms and
gems of truth. None should miss the
opportunity of hearing him tomorrow.
Officers Elected.
The subjects of this sketch, while not
occupying equal prominence, therein,
had several traits in common. Langille
and the mule were about the same age,
if anything the mule having precedence
on that score, while Jim averaged up on
the mole in obstinacy. However com
parisons are odious, and we refrain from
pointing out the other points of similar
ity and lines of divergence and proceed
to our tale.
The mule is or was a venerable and
noble specimen of bis' race, bnt in this
be bad no advantage of Jim, with a fine
pedigree on the distaff side of his honse.
He crossed the plains in 1847, coming
where lots of good people come from
Pike county, Missouri, settled in Wash
ington county and finally became the
property of John Divers of Hood River.
In the early days of Hood River, be
was used as a pack mule, and no bunt
ing party whs complete without him.
He would patiently . accompany bis
master to the mountains, and' with a
bear or- deer, strapped on his faitkful
back, con Id be turned loose to
carry bis load home at his own pleasure,
and he never betrayed the trust reposed
n bim, but always arrived with his
A. Question of Damage.
Thejury in the-case of the United
States against Senfert visited the land
proposed to be condemned this morning
and left for . Portland on the local this
afternoon. If ever" twelve men had a
difficult job those composing that jury
have. It is almost an impossibility for
any man or set of men to form any cor
rect estimate of the value of (the lands,
as that value is derived from their ripa
rian character, and consists in the rights
of fishing pertaining to them. Mr. Seu
fert's own estimate would ot course be,
or at least should be, the most nearly
correct that could be - made, for be, bet
ter than anyone, knows what the fishing
privileges are worth. No one else can
know without making a much more
close and critical study of their values
than .can ' be done in a single visit, or,

Mr. John G. Ritchie of New York is

towards arranging for the appearance of
Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, the famous
songstress. She appears at Walla Walla
December 31st, and if satisfactory 'ar
rangements can be made, will appear
here tbe evening of the 30th.' Her fame
is world wide, and Tbe 'Dalles cannot

load. Time passed, and Divers sold tbe
good old animal to a Mr. Prathar of
Mosier. ' But bis usefulness was a thing
of the past, the gray hairs gathered
around bis kindly eyes, and tipped tbe
points of his ever upright ears. Rheu
matism racked bis frame, and ringbone
and spavin, thorough-pin and string-halt
one by one visited bim, and came to
stay. At last broken and infirm of body
the patient old animal was turned out,
to seek for himself on tbe barren hillside
the food bis gaunt frame conld no longer
earn: In bis old age be realized man s
inhumanity to mules, but uncomplain
ingly ' browsed the sparse herbage, tbe
bitter huckleberry brush and the grip
ing fern, in the vain endeavor to support
himself and keep bis backbone from ir
ritating tbe hide-that covered his abdo
men. . He lived a bard life it is true,
but still be lived, until a week or ten
days ago, when the deep snow covered
the last vestige of . his larder, and tbe
biting cold sent bim shivering, faint
hearted and almost hopeless to 'his last
resort, the haunts of men. He showed
up at Hood River, seeking, hoping to
violate the city ordinances forbidding
bis presence, and longing for tbe borne
comforts of the pound provided for tres
passers of bis kind.-- But alas! It was
a vain hope. The mule, like many an
other would-be .criminal, found that
there was no swift' desire to punish
minor offenses against the law," when
there was nothing in it for the officers.
Langille saw . the mule, he noted bis
patient bearing, his gray : hairs, . bis
crippled limbs, his gaunt frame, his
starved and shivering body, and bis big
heart was moved to pity. He made re
quest in words that tbe voiceless mule
could only tell it. the mute and touching
language of appearance to the city
marshal that the mule be impounded.
The marshal examined the mule and re
fused to take him. He wasn't worth
h'.s feed over night. Jim went to tbe
city recorder, the recorder could do noth
ing, and then Jim went to tbe barn and
purchased an armful of hay for him.
Then Jim tackled tbe mayor; he of
course bad nothing to do with tbe matter
and very properly referred bim to the
city marshal. So from one to the other
Jim appealed, but it was no use, nothing
could be done to ease tbe declining days
of the venerable relic. Hood River was
not running a hospital for Mosier'a
antiquated mnles, but the mule was
there and refused to go away. Finally
an Indian was hired to lead tbe poor,
old animal "down to the sloughs and
there extend to him the hospitable
refuge of tbe grave. A bullet ended the
business, and the faithful old' animal,
whose many years had been spent in
tbe gervic of bis master, found resting
place at last upon the drifted snow
banks, cold indeed, but not colder than
the hearts of men.
He was only an old mule, but be did
bis life's woik uncomplainingly and
well, to find at its end the usual reward
of ingratitude on the part of those he
served. He was only a kindly old mule.
that was all, only an old, broken-down,
useless mule, encumbering the earth,
and an eyesore to his master. Only an
old mule.
