GOOD HE&ULTS ALUEADY,
The first r.nmml convention of the
wool-growers of the Northwest has
passed into history as a gratifying
success in every particular, lkight
as were the anticipations, they were
realized in the fullest measure. The
de!eates who attended were men of
means and influence in their respect
ive communities, and gave to the
meeting such a character as few rep
resentative bodies attain. The dis
cussions and addresses upon matters
pertaining to the wool-growing in
dustry were animated and interest
ing, and the questions asked showed
bow deep was the interest taken by
the delegates.
One direct result flowing from this
meeting is the formation of the Ore
gon Wool - Growers' Association,
which was organized yesterday in
the Commercial Club. The object
of the organization is to bring to
gether the men interested in wool
raising irto one compact body, and
through this to discuss the procedure
necessar' to advance the interests of
the wool men and to secure such re
medial legislation as may from time
to time be deemed advisable.
It was generally recognized by the
visitors to the convention that East
ern Oregon is one of the best adapt
ed section in the counliy for wool
raising, and the outlook was never
brighter than it is at present.
The formation of a stale assoeia
tion, with the local organizations can
work in harmony, is a distinct ad
vance in furthering the interests of
the wool growers and those who are
directly and indirectly interested in
their prosperity. For the next year,
at least,. The Dalles will be the head
quarters tor the association, and it
should be our every effort, as citi
zens of this great wool-shipping cen
ter, to further the interests of this
association.
There can be little doubt now but
that the destruction of the Maine
was due to circumstances other than
unintentional. While no official in
formation of this kind has been given
out, yet the reticence of the naval
aflicers to discuss the situation seems
to lend some credence to sensational
newspaper reports. The calm man
ner with which the American people
liavo viewed the situation is greatly
to their cicdit. There is no undig
nified subservience to Spain; no
cowardly assertions for peace. Pres
ident McKinley and congress have
simply refrained from outspoken
words or actions until the official
examination is ended, and should
tho result turn out as we expect it
will, then the nation may await with
confidence the most vigorous action
in demanding reparation; and if war
must needs come, the American peo
plo will uudertake it. confident of
the result and with consciences clear.
W'jcn McKinley 's attitude is viewed
correctly, especially atrocious seems
.Senator Mason's burly break.
Many kind words were expressed
by the delegates to the wool conven
tion regarding the treatment offered
thorn by the people of this city, and
these pleasant expressions arc lmartily
appreciated. Without the Commer
cial Club, however, the visitors
could not have been entertained so
successfully as they were. Already '
this institution has justified its ex
istence in the eyes ot the people, and
has proven a wide advertisement for
The Dalles.
DIED WITH HIS CHUM.
A Xtilile Cniirotitlun of n 'Soldier's
llntv to UN Prloinl.
In liv rern'misvonecG of (ion. Sir
Kwlyn Woo, I, liiin.-olf a bravo Knrlish
soldier, a touching ius'tanoo of courage
and sol f-aierl lice is fpven. says an ox
chanp'e. Out- .luno day- in tSS.i o de
tachment of Knplirili inarines wa cross
inp the AVoron.ov. mad under lire from
(he Russian Uitterics. All of the men
leached .shelter in the trenchen except
a seaman, .lolm Hlewitt. As lie mis
running: ii terrific roar w.vs heard. His
mates knew the voice of a 'hufre can
non, tho terror of the nrniv, and
yelled:
."Lookout! Tt is Whistling flit!"
Hut at the moment Mewitt wo struck
by the. enormous mass of iron on the
knees and thrown to the 'ground, lie
called to his special chum:
"Oh. Welch, save me!"
The fuse wns hissing, but Stephen
Weli'li ran out of the trenches mid,
seizing the great shell, tried to roll it
oiT of his comrade.
It exploded with such terrific force
that ittit an atom of the bodies of
lliewitt. or Welch was found. Even in
that-time, when each hour hnd its ex
citement, this deed of heroism tirrel
the wliole English army. One of tho
oftlccrs searched out Welch's old moth
er in her poor home and undertook her
support wlide she lived, ami the story
of his death helped his comrades to
nobler conceptions of a soldier's duty.
FOUR-LEGGED TRADERS.
Jllei' Tlirtt Itoplnco with Other Artl
olo All tho Thliitc They Stenl.
There is a motive in Florida locally
known as the trading mouse. It is com
monly a woods mouse, but it (illicitly
adapts itself to human habitation. A
colony of such mice carried two bushels
of shelled beans .10 feet during six
nigh Us recently and replaced the lwans
with seed pods of a weed. Jewelry, too,
haa teen taken by those little traders,
say the Xon York Sun. One woman on
the east coast of Florida at an IndLaiv
river winter resort found a nnmlwr of
seed instead of a pair of enrrings that
she had left on the bureau. A search in
the pla-.-e where, the seeds had been'
taken disclosed the earrings.
A man who had a bo.v of poker chips
in hisTonm in an open-topped box was
surprised to find in their stead a string
of prayer beads, a 'small crucifix, and a
niimlerof shells. lie started an investi
gation immediately. A priest who had
roomed near by was eipially puzzles! by
finding the colored poker chips in his
room.
It is generally believed that the trad
ing mouse learns its curious ways by
robbing squirrels or blue jays of nuts

DISTRIBUTING NATURAL GAS.
Sent Long Distance" Through Pipe hj
JIouiih of Air l'rosure.
The transmission or conveyance of
gas under pressure to long distances,
which was an unsolved problem some
SO years ago, is now a lied fact, repre
sented by the present use of about
"5,000,000 feet of pipe used jn the dis
tribution of natural gas. On the iir.st
discovery of this article, says the J'hila
delphia Ilulletin, the- pressure at the
well was sufficient to drive it through
the pipes almost as far as desired, but
this pressure declining tome additional
methods were neeebsitated, the well
known air compressor being resorted
to to pump the gas; and, an allowing
Its elliciency, there arc at Greenland, in
Indiana, gas .ells which have long car
ried supplies to Chicago. There arc
two cight-itu'h pipe lines used, the gas
being pumped a. distance of about 1C0
miles. There is at I!edk.y, Jnd., a
pumping station of this character that
supplies the townsof Springfield, Tlilin,
Litnan, Dayton, I'iquo, and other places
in the western part of Ohio. Near
Pittsburgh there is a gus plant which
pumps 20,000,000 cubic feet every 24
hours for use in mills, the pumping of
this being without the least, difficulty;
and the Philadelphia company pumps
many millions of cubic feet a day.
There are New England air compressors
that are pumping every day, at various
stations in the United States, the enor
mous quantity of nearly 100,000,000
cubic feet.
