It is rumored that the company be
hind the steamer Pilgrim has arranged
for putting on another boat as soon ns
the high .water is over, and that the
steamer II. C. Grady has been secured
for the purpose.
The nomination of Harold M. Sewall
of Maine to the position of minister to
Hawaii indicates that this government
is going to "do something" about the
islands. If we mistake not, Sewall was
the minister at the time the American
Hag was raised, and if so, he is the right
man for the place, for he can help put
her up again.
The run of Salmon in the Lower Co
lumbia shows no indications of improv
ing. The average catch per boat is leeB
than two fish. A number of men have
returned from the drifting-grounds dur

ing secured a single salmon, and no im
provement Is expected until warm
weather sets in.
The Case of. J. F. Clarke vs. G. W.
Hanegan, involving the right of Hie road
8 between bicyclists and teamsters,
waB tried in Justice Schuobel's court at
Oregon City yesterday and was decided
in favor of the teamster, it being proven
to tho satisfaction of the jury that the
damages eustamed by the cyclist were
tiie result of his own negligence.
A dentist in Walla Walla advertises
himself as "a painless dentist." The
world is full of painless dentists. What
the great tooth-aching public wants is to
he painless itself while in the hands of
the dentist. A man with the toothache,
or a 0-pronged molar that insists on being
Pulled, doesn't care whether the dentist
is painless or not. He has troubles
enough of his own.
An ordinance has been passed by the
pity council of Ashland to prohibit card
Playing or dice throwing for pleasure or
Profit by minors, and is intended to op
erate to prevent minors from playing
the nickel-in-the-slot machines, as well
as other games. The ordinance fixes a
penalty for allowing minors to play at
such games, and is an addition to the
general ordinance against gambling.
We have perused very carefully the
last two issues of the Portland Dispatch,
hoping to read a glowing account of Tony
Noltner's visit to Washington City; but
somehow the account fails to material
ize. Won't you please tell us all about
it, Tony, and relieve the minds of your
editorial brethren? What are Corbett's
chances now that you have been on the
grounds? That's what we want to
know.
William Wells was a juror in a case on
trial in Olympia last Saturday. He told
the court that he could not be present at
the evening session of the court, as he
is a Seventh Day Adventist, and hiB
Sabbath began at sundown. The court
insisted that he should be present, but
the young man insisted that he could
not go against his conscience, and finally
the attorneys agreed to let him go, and
they proceeded with the case with eleven
jurors.
Just as we were getting ready to go
to press Wednesday morning the cry of
fire was heard, and the smoke house
bnck of the butcher Ehop was in flames.
A bucket brigade was organized and the
flames were prevented from spreading to
adjacent buildings. The building and
contents, except about a ton of wheat,
were entirely destroyed. The most of
the property belonged to Wash Rey
nolds. The fire caught from the furnace
under the lard kettle. The loss Is prob
ably $100. Iso insurance. Wasco News.
Last night Nightwatehman Wiley and
Sheriff Driver arrested Ed Marshall, and
be is now confined in the cUy jail.
About two months ago Marshall was ar
rested and demanded a jury trial. Be
ing found guilty he was fined $50 by Re
corder Phelps, and after Etaying in jail
one day he wished to be released, prom
ising to leave town and remain away
from it. Instead of doing so, it seems
he has been in the city ever since, but
has kept himself out of eight. He will
now have n chance to serve out tho bal
anceof his sentence.
Mr. Simons, of the Portland General
Electric Co., is expected here tomorrow.
It is stated that this company will put
in a large plant at Lyle, and that power
will be furnished for an electric road
from Lyle, by way of Goldendale to Col
umbus. ' While this is only a rumor,
there seems to be somo foundation for it,
and it is quite within the range of possi
bility that the railroad may be built. If
so, a line of boats would be put In to
connect with it at Lyle. There is also
a rumor of a railroad to be built from
this city to the Deschutes, but for that
there seems to be less foundation.
It is reported that the long-delayed
eastern mail will be y tomorrow morn
ing. The deluy was caused by the un
precedented highwater In the streams
about Baker City Small washouts oc
curred between' Baker City and Hunt
ington, extending over h dletance of
fourteen miles, whichwade it impossi
ble to transfer the yfaails, especially as
the bridges on thefvagon roads, as well
as on the railrond, were gone. The O.
R. & Is. has had every available man at
work to put the road in condition, and is
accomplishing wonders. The delay is
annoying, but has to be put up with.
If the mail arrives in the morning, the
postoffice will have a steady job for 6ev-
eral hours getting it distributed,
j In the last issue of the Scientific
j American is an article on the grandeur
rtf flip Onln mltiu rtvoi onrl Sta Djion nr..
from the pen of Mr. H. H. Shank, of
Hagerstown, Md., in which he says:
"The traveled American whose journey
ings have not been confined to the Old
World, but include (as they seldom do)
a tour among the natural wonders of his
native land, is impressed with the in
consistency of those people who roam,
year by year, among the mountains,
lakes and rivers of Europe, and neglect
the natural beauties of their native land.
Majestic and impressive as the Alps may
be, they do not lift their heads any more
grandly than the summits of the
Rockies, the Cascades or the Sierras,
and nowhere are they clad with such a
wealth of noble verdure as is spread
about the base of our Western moun
tains. The Rhine may seem to sweep
in stately fashion beneath beetling cliffs
and hills that soar loftily above the
waters, but in the presence of the awe
inspiring heights and depths and chang
ing shadows of the gorge of the Colum
bia river, the Rhine becomes an insig
nificant memory, and the mind's sense
ot dimension is baliled in the effort to
take in this indefinitely greater, nobler
and more majestically beautiful Rhine
of our native land."
Lumber for Scotland.
At the D. P. & A. N. wharf is a pile
of yellow pine lumber cut at the mills
near Trout Lake, in Klickitat county,
that is a credit to any country. There
is 2,200 feet of it, and it isto be shipped
to Glasgow, Scotland. A short time
since six logs were rafted from the White
Salmon to Portland, where they were
sawed into boards or "deal," and the
lumber will be shipped to New York
and thence by tho Anchor lino to Glas
gow. Tho lumber here, which was
brought up from yhite Salmon by the
D. P. & A. N., willbe loaded with that
from Portland. It is probably tho first
shipment of lunber ever made from tho
Northwest across the continent and then
bv steamer across tho Atlantic.

We are agents for the
celebrated MALTESE
CROSS. Every body
knows that it is the
best Hose on the mar
ket today.
We also cam tho Uiduo
wood brand of Hoso, which
wo recommend as a superior
article second only to our Mal
tese Cros brand in quality. It
is made on extra strong duck,
and of tho best rubber. Then
we carry the Wallabout brand
which is a good quality and
medium price, equal or better
than the average so-called
"best Hose on the market."
We sell it for what it really is
a good, serviceable Hoso.

MAIER& BENTON'S
Activity In MIiich.
James A. Howard, of Howard, Lath
rop & Co., who has been in Baker City
on business for the firm, says there is an
air of life that impresses a visitor to that
town immediately upon arriving.
"And," continued Mr. Howard, "con
versation with reliable men and men of
affairs and intimate knowledge of the
city's and county's condition, carries tho
impression along to conviction that Ba
ker City is just now a very good town.
The mining interests undoubtedly are
giving Baker City a high degree of pros
perity. Business there shows the influ
ence of the magic touch of the gold min
ing excitement, and the faces of all are
expressive of hope and expectation of
prosperity. There is a constant activity
and much actual work, while in prospect
are many legitimate enterprises that
will probably bo opened up for profita
ble operation. There is largo mineral
wealth in - that county, and it is receiv
ing attention from men of capital and
practical knowledge of mines and their
working." East Oregonian.
