Collins, advance agent of the Clay Clement Co., was in the city last evening. Owing to some misunder standing he left without making ar rangements to play an engagements in this city. This will be a dissapoint ment to the tleatre going people of The Dalles as the company is first-class in every regard. Last night all the electric lights in the city wero turned on once more, which gave the town quite a different appear ance than on the previeus nights, when there were no lights whatever. Consid ering the amount of damage sustained the Electric Light Company has done splendid work in getting their line in order so rapidly. Since August 1st Sheriff Kelly has turned over $10,919.31, taxes collected after July 25th, when the tax rolls were delivered to him, $3,032.26 on August 4, $5,137.79 on August 13, and $2,749.26 on August 15. Mr. Kelly is making splen did collections of taxes considering that so little produce has been sold, and that taxpayers are not everly flash with money. Died At Grass Valley, Or., Tuesday, Aug. 16, Claude Marquis, eon of J. H. and Mrs. Marquis, aged about 13 years. He had been sick only a short time, and death was unexpected.

Two carloads of hosa from Schuvler. rNebraska, passed through the city re cently en route to Seattle. It looks that if the farmers of the northwest would turn their attention to this profitable industry it would not be necessary to ship hogs all this distance to supply the Seattle market. If there is money to be made by the people of Nebraska in rais ing hogs and shipping them this far our farmers of Oregon and Washington should certainly be able to make the business pay. Yesterday when J. his grocery store in II. Croes entered the Vogt block he found that the side door which opens on Federal street had been forced during the night. After entering the burglars tore open the money tills but were dis sapointed by finding but a small amount ot money as nearly all the change had been removed on the previous night be fore the store was closed. After Coding no money in the tills they walked out without taking anything in the way of goods. They were evidently not pro fessional Eafe crackers or else they were scared away before they got a chance to make an attempt to force the strong sate. The funeral of Miss Percy Wing, who was drowned at Seaside Monday, took place from the residence of her widowed mother, Mrs. Lorinda Wing, at Wash ougal Wednesday. Fully 300 relatives, neighbors and friends attended the brief funeral services at the residence and cemetery. The funeral procession was a a half mile long. The services were conducted, by Rev. Mr. Baker, pastor of the Congregational church at Washou gal, assisted by Rev. Mr. HoBford, of Portland, and Rev. T. W. Butler, of Oregon City. In accordance with an oft-expressed wish of the deceased, the public was not permitted to view her features after death, onlymembers of the family and the children ot the neighbor hood, who were her pupil?, being ac corded that privileges. There were many beautiful floral tributes. Each cf Miss Wing's pupils deposited a bunch ot flowers upon the grave. Miss Wing was for years prominent in church andsocirl circles in her neighborhood, and was a universal favorite. Serious Accident. Last Thursday evening, near Bigelow, E. W . Elrod had the misfortune to get hiB left hand entangled in a belt that flew off the pulley on a threshing ma chine, and actually torn off. About 2 o'clock the next . morning Dr. Smith, assisted by Dr. Olive Hartley, ampu tated the arm below the elbow, and at last report the patient was resting as easy as could be expected. Strong hopes are entertained of his recovery, unless bood poisoning should eet in. Mr. Elrod is the father of the leading lumber dealer of Moro, J. O. Elrod, and is well and favorably known.

Barge! to Be Built to Work the Snake Itlver Bars. E. S. McComas, a well-known min ing man of Baker City, was in Portland Thursday on an important mission. He came for the purpose of contracting for the shipment to Palmer on the Snake river, of about 500,000 feet of red fir lumber, to be used in the construction of seven mining dredges. These dredges are to work mining bars in the Snake river, about five miles above the Boise crossing. Red fir is the best material for the purpose, and Mr. McComas ex pects to ehip the lumber from Portland, if he can secure favorable terms. The minining enterprise which . Mr. McComas represents seems to be one of the most extensive character. He states the barges will cost $18,000 each, and the building of one will require 70,000 feet of lumber. It is proposed to ship the lumber direct to Palmer. For the past four year Mr. McComas has been engaged in prospecting the bars in ths Snake, and he is confident he has secured very valuable posses sions. He has dieposed of a considera ble portion of his claims to some mon eyed men, and now the intention is to dredge the bars he has secured. "Mining experts examined bare on the Snake river," he said, "and report ed forty to fifty cents to the yard, which is more than I expected could be se cured. I think the gravel will vield twenty-five cents a yard. Now a dredge can be operated on these bars at a profit is the yield is only ten cents to the yard, as it has been done. With the fine prospect before us we anticipate a good income. "These dredges will be constructed with an eddless chain and bucket in front, which will scoop up the material and carry it to the sluices on the barge. A dredge of this kind will cut right through a gravel bar, making a channel ior itself. The front end may be shifted around and everything scooped np and washed out. I regard this scheme as highly important and one ot the most extensive in the Northwest. I have given four years to a most careful and searching investigation, and I base my conclusions on what I have found mv- self. The Yukon country is not to be compared with the Snake river dis trict. "'At Baker City things have been very quiet, owing to the closing down of the Virtue mine, but the recent transfer of the property to some olher parties, who have a rich collateral vein, which means a general revival. The tunnel will be extended to this vein, which is very rich, and the plant will put into ope ration. There is some apprehension at La Grande over the effect the annexa tion of Hawaii will have on the beet sugar factory. On the whole country east of the mountains is prosperous." Mr. McComas is an interesting char ter himself. He has been in Eastern Oregon since about 1860, first living in La Grande, where, in company with J. Jeffries, he started the La Grande Sen tinel. For the past few years he he has engaged extensively in mining. Al though the frosts of many years have whitened his locks and grizzled his monstache, he seems aa full of energy as he was when he edited the first Demo cratic paper published m Eastern Ore gon.

Sherriff Dayidson, of Helena, Mon was in Portland yesterday on his way to Oakland, Or., to take into custody Joe Allen, who is wanted in Montana for the murder of J. S. Reynolds on July 24th. Allen was arrested at Oakland several days ago by Constable Ruth, and is now in jail at that place. The circumstances attending the crime go to show that it was committed for the purpose of rob bery, and it was a most cold blooded af fair. Reynolds was a eheepherder, and he and Allen traveled together as partners, Allen,who was not en adept at shearing, putting In his time filling sacks and loadingjwool, and acting generally as helper. The two men came to Montana together from Shoupe, Idaho, and worked during the spring clip. They last worked about twenty-five miles from Helena, and on getting through spoke of trapping for the rest of the summer. They were last camped near Mr. Martin's place, where Rev- nolds and Allen were seen Sunday! night, July 24tb, lying down, both ap- parently asleep. The following morn ing Steve Arnold found a hat near the camp which had been worn by Rey nolds, and also observed some blood on the ground. He at once instituted a search, and discovered the body of Rey yolds in the bushes wrapped in a blanket. Reynolds had been shot in the top of the head with a Winchester, and judging from the location of the wound, the shooting was done while he waa asleep. To Cure a Cold In One Day.
