The steamer Baker arrived, last night
about 9 o'clock, after a fourteen hours'
run from Portland. The Baker is a fine
boat, but unnecessarily slow. She
brought up, among other freight, two
big threshers.
The Wolff & Zwicker iron works of
Fort'and has secured the contract for

wonder of marine engineering.
McClure's Magazine for August will
contain a dialect poem by James Whit

Paine.
If Hon. T. T. Geer's statements con
cerning the trans-Mississippi congress
held at Salt Lake contain as much truth
as his statements concerning Bryan's
speech here, to call the whole affair a
lie would be to insult Ananias, and bring
the blush of shame to Baron Munchau
sen. The road up the brewery hill is in the
worst condition possible. Whoever has
charge of it should see that some work is
done on it, and that at once. And while
we are about it, it might be added that
Union street is full of rocks, and a tew
dollars expended there would not be
waBted.
The weather bureau, we are glad to
state, was mistaken concerning the wea
ther yesterday and today. According to
the forecast, yesterday was to have been
a scorcher and today was to be much
worse. Instead, the day has been sim
ply delicious, or at least that is what a
young lady told us.' We credit the im
proved weather conditions to Patricio
McNeal, the young gentleman who is
now running the weather department of
the Commercial Club.
Word has been received at Baker City
of an accident at the Union-Companion
mine, at Cornucopia. Blasting with
giant powder was proceeding, and be
tween the blasts a great volume of smoke
poured from the shaft. This smoke
overcame William Broomball, a miner,
and the unfortunate man fell down the
shaft a distance of 75 feet. His left arm
was broken in two places, and his
shoulder was dislocated. At last ac
counts he was living, and it is thought
that be will recover.
The Dalles can boast one home indus
try at least, and its owner says it is a
success. A man named Johnson looking
over the situation concluded it was just
as easy for home talent to start a knife
and scissors grinding business as for an
outsider to do so, rigged up a wheel and
treadle on a wheelbarrow and is doing a
good business. He made the grindstone
from the fragment. of a large one. and
everything about the machine was made
by himself. As a result of his first three
hours' work he earned $1.15.
The Dalles just now presents a rather
deserted appearance, though business is
good. The regular en miner outing to
the coast or mountains is on, and every-
dy is away, except printers and
her public benefactrrs, who have to
rsmain at tne post ot duty at all times.
'otwithetanding the regular inponr of
ealth, the newspaper man gets weary
and lonesome on such occasions, ' and
even wishes, as his slippered feet press
the velvet carpet in his private office,
that he owned a claim in the Clondyke,
and was running it himself.
' This morning some men who are en
gaged in packing supplies to the sheep
camps, tied three of their horses to the
awning posts in front of the Times
Mountaineer office. They stood quietly
for a time, but one of them happening
to glance up, saw the big sign, and real
izing that in front of a Democratic news
paper office was a very poor place for a
sheep-owner's horse, he gave the alarm,
and all three of the animals began tug
ging their best to get away. The rejult
was that all the posts were pulled out
and the sign torn down before the
frightened animals could be secured
Mrs. J. E. Andrews as knocked
down by a biker of the Variety known

come a favorite nacing ground for some
of our young folk, and they will do well
to make a change in the program. The
bicycle has cone to stay, and nobody
objects to the rse of the streets by those
who like to rif e, but at the same time
there are always some addle-pated peo
ple who bring disrepute on everything
they engage in, and the bicycle has pro
duced a phenomenal crop of this kind
all over the country. '
Just a Pair of Socks.
William Henrick is in jail at Pendle
ton, with a fine of $75 and the alterna
tive of lying thirty -one days in , jail
hanging ever him, and all on account of
a pair of socks, and a pair of undarned
socks at that. William resides at Mil
ton, and the other day when be came
home he asked his better half for a pair
of socks. These were cheerfully fur
nished, but when William put .his tril
bies inside of them he discovered that
besides his feet there were holes in them.
He pulled them off and commanded his
wife to darn them. Being engaged in
getting supper, she declined for the
time being to do so. William was a die
ciplinarian, besides he was the bead of
the family and his word was law. He
didn't propose to have the Sock less
Jerry racket played on him, and so he
proceeded to lay violent hands on Mrs.
William Henricks, and he administered
punishment as he thought commensu
rate with the crime. Then Mrs. Will
iam placed the matter before the
minions of the law, resulting as above.
We.are inclined to think William act
ed too hastily and harshly. Had it
been his golf stockings or his bicycle
bloomers that the wife refused .to mend,
the case would have been different and
the beating justifiable, but a pair of
six-for-a-qnarter socks, the punishment
was a trifle severe.

no church considers it has its full com
plement of sinners until the larger por
tion of its congregation consist of law
yers, doctors, bankers and other wealthy
people." His harangue lasts for half an
hour, and it is safe .to say that in that
time be does not advance an idea or
suggest a thought. He is possessed of a
foamy cascade of language, the words
falling over each other and not reaching
beyond his toes. He undertakes to
build up his creed, whatever it is, by
attacking all denominations and all
churches.
Appreciated.
Monday the Regulator took 270 Chris
tian'Endeavorers from Portland to the
Locks. It is perhaps needless to say
that all were delighted with the grand
scenery. On the return trip the crowd
gathered in the cabin and the following
resolutions were passed :
Whereas, The young people of Port
land hare sent eeveral of their number
to accompany the excursion to look after
the comfort of our people, call our atten
tion to points bf interest, and in every
way to make our trip as pleasant and
profitable as possible; therefore be it
Jtesolued, That we, Pennsylvanians
and Washingtonians, hereby express
our hearty appreciation of this great
kindness and declare that we will ever
bold the people of Portland and their
unsurpassed hospitality in grateful re
membrance; Resolved, That our hearty thanks be
given to "Mr. Alloway, the manager of
the boat, for the excellent attention and
splendid dinner given the Endeavorers.''
Mr. Hawes was called upon to reply.
Then Mr. Allaway was brought out. Af
ter this, D. G. McKay, D. D., of Green
ville. Pa., gave expression in a neat
speech. All in all, it was a day long to
be remembered.

A Street Preacher.
A street preacher has been holding
forth here for a day or two, but does not
sem to be making many converts to
bjis belief, which seems to be that every
body should be poor. He discoursed in
front of Maetz & Pundt's th,is afternoon,
and our reporter straggled along in time
to bear him say : "There is no relig
ion in the churches, they bad fallen
lower and lower, until now instead of
"It Don't Seem Like the J
Same Old Smile." ?

Prof. M. W. Smith, who wassnperin
tendent ot the reiorm school five years
ago, was in Salem over Sunday to look
after his prone orchard in Polk county,
which is located near the Wallace fruit
farms. He expects to have 5000 bushels
of fruit from his orchards this year, and
will build a dryer to properly cure the
fruit and prepare it for the market.
Prof. Smith is now located at Grass Val
ley, Sherman county, where be holds the
position of superintendent of the county
schools, having the supervision of twenty-two
teachers. Ed H. Jackson, trie
clothier, formerly in business on State

Grass Valley, conducting a similar store
to the one he had here, and Prof. S.miih
reports him- as doing a good business.
