'ork on the new water main was
finished this morning, and Marshal
Lauer has men at work today raking
the rocks that have been thrown up by
the excavating, off the street, and put
ting the entire street in good shape. It
would be a decided improvement if lie
were to have the rocks ranked oil all of
Second and Third streets, and also the
principal Bide streets J It would not
onTy"'make- 'tt'pTMBSfijter to drive and
rido over those streets, but also would
bo of great benefit to our people as far
as wear and tear of vehicles is con
cerned. Lust night a man giving his namo as
Arthur Edie. gave himself up to Night
watchman Wiley, stating that he was
from Clarke county, Missouri, and was
wanted there for the attempted murder
of his cousin two years ago. Ho showed
letters and other proofs that what he
eaid was tiue.and at present he is in
tho county jail waiting until Sheriff
Driver finds out whether or not the au
thorities of that state want him. If the
do, he will be kept in jail in this plae
until ho is sent for. It looks very much
as If he were working the authorities
for transportation to Missouri.
A serious and what might have proven
a fatal accident occurred near tho Sum
mit last eveniug. Gus iieilburg and u
fellow-laborer named Canflold wero en
gaged in blasting at tho fish wheel
owned by tho Chinamnn known as Pete,
As far as wo could fiud out, the two men
were putting in a blast at tho time of
the explosion, and Ileilburg, it appoars,
was handling the powder for the same,
when it exploded, burning his face in a
horrible manner, and severely injuring
both his eyes. One of his arms was aieo
badly burned. He was brought to the
city and Dr. Hollistor attended his in
juries. The doctor despairs of saving
one of his eyes, but thinks he may re
gain the tight of the other. Canfield
was also burned about the face with tho
powder, but his injuries are not serious.

VG.
This morning's bulletin states that
the president has given up hope of set
tling the Cuban matter peaceably and
thinks nt last that war is incvetable.
It was thought for a time that Spain was
weakening, but her aiiBwer to the presi
dent's request for tho freedom of Cuba
showed no such indications and is en
tirely unsatisfactorily to our govern
ment. Today President McKlnley will be en
gaged in preparing his message and the
same will be given to congress Monday.
It is rumored that Great Britain will
support tho United States in case of
necessity. Russia is at present neutral,
while France, Germany, Austria and
Italy are in sympathy with Spain.
Blanco Bays "the president of the
United States will either have to fiht
or back down, as the Spanish ministry
will not comply with his requests re
garding Cuba."
The situation looks moreliko war than
ever and it is expected that it will be
declared before Monday night.
IN SKAGUAY.
in the matter of prices.
The company calls attention to tho
fact that it has added a now two-story
brick addition to its already extensive)
warehouse, which now gives it 100,000
rquare feet of floor room, all under one
roof, making ono of the most commo
dious, best lighted, best equipped and
best protected storage and forwarding
warehouses in all Oregon, giving plenty
of room to store each clip by itself, all
on end and in a well-lighted and com
manding position.
The circular, finally, with pardonable
pride, refers to all who have ever done
business with tho company, aa to good,
clean and honest service nnd reasonable
charges. The company is doing a stilet
ly warehouse business m merchandis
ing nor manipulating, nor commission.
and is now ready, ns always, to make
advances to woolgrowcrs, covering shear
ing nnd other incidmtal expenses; io
pay all freight to teamsters, and to rnako
reasonable advances upon wools stored
in its warehouse to enable growers to
hold for higher prices.

Extracts From a Letter Written by
George Kraugg.
Skaguay, Aiaska, March 23, 1898.
Three boats arrived here today.
Tho weather here is very cold, and
the air is very keen ; consequently a
person needs lots of good clothes. As
soon as the sun goes down it gets awful
ly cold, and the mud freezes so hard
that it will hold up a loaded wagon.
A person can see all kinds of sleds hero,
which are drawn by mules, horses dogs,
oxen and goats.
The reports concerning the number of
deaths here are unfounded. As far as 1
can learn there were only two deaths,
occurred; one man was shot and one
frozen on the trail. The health of the
people is vary good.
Mr. Walters and mvself are bunking
over' the store; but as we haven't any
stove, we put all of our time in at the
store. Walters is now sitting on top of
the stove, and says that is the best place
he has struck elnce he came here. He
is working in a tin shop. We expect to
go into tho interior, as there has been a
new mine discovered cn Salmon river,
just half way to Dawson City; also an
other on Welch creek. They are re
ported to be very rich, and as soon as we
can get money enough to go, we will try
mining, as wo do not make anything
working for wages.
The town is very dull at present, and
there is very little building going on.
The carpenters aro many, and for a timo
lumber was scarce, but now there is
plenty of it.
The lake, which supplies the town
with water, is just east of us, and is 500
feet higher than Sknguay. The Ico on
it is about two feet thick ; but tho peo
ple go to the lake to fish.
Sunday is just the same as any other
day in Skagu.ty. Tho theater is open
every evening, and tho admission is 25
cants. As yet we have not attended
and do not int ml to.
Charlie Stone, wifo and baby arc here,
They are going over tho trail to Dawson
City.
Do not forget, I haven't any love for
this country, but want to get back homo
as soon as God will let me. The coun
try around Tho Dalles is a heaven com
pared with this God-forsaken country.
The Wasco Warehouse.
The fourth annual circular of tho Was
co Warehouse Company, of Tho Dalles,
now being sent to the woolgrowors of
Eastern Oregon and Washington, is full
of valuable information about tho past
and present state of tho wool market,
tho wool supply and future prospects.
Tho' companies means of obtaining
correct information on these points nro
second to none on tho Pacific const. It
is gratyfying, therefore, to finl the cir
culars expressing tho conviction that
'there is every prospect that wool will
command a goo! and ready market at
a fair price during the coining season,"
Attention is justly called to the vast
superiority of The Dalles over every
other wool market on the Pacific coast.
Her terminal facilities, at the head of
navigation, places her in a position to
command tho best competitive freight
rates west of the Missouri river, while
tho 8,000,000 pounds of woo) annually
brought to tier warehouses attract a
large number of the best and largest
wool buyers in tho United StateB and
secure the etiflVst possible competition
Today the remains of the late Albert
Bettingen were laid to rest in the Catho
lic cemetery. At 9 o'clock tho Eervicesi
at the church began, and the number of
friends who attended showed in what
high esteem the departed was hold ia
our city. ..
A 1 requiem high raaBS was sung by
Rev. Father Bolla, assisted by the choir,
while Rev. Bronsgeest, in a lengthy ad
drees, paid fitting tribute to the life
and character of the deceased member
of his congregation. The services at
the church lasted until almost 11
o'clock, at which time the long funeral
procesjion formed and wound its way to
the cemetery.
The bearers of the pall were picked
from old-time friends and associates of
Mr. Bettingen. They were Ex-Governor
Moody, John Bonn, Fred Lempke, T.
T. Nichols, Eniil Schanno and George
Liebe.
