A telegram was received by Mr. Fouts
yesterday from his son, Seneca, who is
among the volunteers at San Francisco.
He reports all the boys well, and states
that they will sail for Manila next Tues
day. Although the boys will have the
trip across the Pacific, there is little
chance for them engaging in any active
service on their arrival there, as the
war will, in all probability be fully set
tled before that time.
Yesterday a passenger coach, which

Temorrow another opportunity will
be given the people of The Dalles to
spend the day in the Cascades, as well as
enjoy the beautiful scenery between
here and Multnomah Falls for the ex
tremely low price of 50 cents. This
offer on the part of the O. R. & N. gives
the people a choice of such resorts as
Hood Kiver, Cascade Locke, Bonneville
and Multnomah, at which they can
spend the day, and as a special car will
be run for the convenience of the excur
sionists, no one need fear that they will
be uncomfortable going or coming on
account of lack of accommodations.
Mrs. David Steel has presented the
Portland museum with a collection of
photographs of all the Modoc Indians
who took a prominent part in the mas
sacre of General Can by and Dr. Thomas,
one ot the tragic incidents of the Modoc
war of 1872-73. Also a number of stor
eoptican views of the lava beds and
caves where the savages had their
strongholds. Such photographs4 were
common twenty-five years ago, but it is
doubtful if many 6ets of them are in ex
istence now, and the collection present
ed by Mrs. Steel is worthy of being
framed and preserved as a relic of by
gone days.

In a short time the burned buildings
will be replaced by large and more mag
nificent structures than thoee destroyed.
Mr. Gunning is already making prepa
rations to build a new blacksmith shop
on the lot formerly occupied by the
second-hand store. The building will
be of wood, covered with corrugated
iron. It is aleo expected that Mays &
Crowe will soon follow with a splendid
brick store on the corner where their
old one was locateed. It is safe to say
that it will not be long before fine fire
proof structures will be under course of
construction on the lots where the other
buildings were situated.

pleting arrangements for commencing
work on a 15 mile extension at an early
date. It is expected to have the line
completed to Yacolt prairie, 15 miles
from the present terminus at Brush
prairie, by January 1, and to Atnboy,
five miles further on, within a short
time thereafter. This road will pass
through the best portion of Clark coun

excellent farm land, besides tapping
one of the finest bodies of timber in the
northwest.
From what we can learn the attempt
of Mr. Christman, of Silver Lake, Like
county, to use a steam engine in haul
ing freight from this place into the in
terior will prove the flattest kind of a
failure. He figured on making two or
three miles per hour with a string of
loaded wagons, but so far has not
averaged more than that per day, and it
is next-to impossible for his engine to
climb the steep hills Fouth of here with
anything like a full load. On the level
prairies his scheme might work, but on
the steep hills of Eastern Oregon the
attempt must certainly end in a flat
failure. Another objection raised is
that it is very dangerous for temsters,
6ince nothing frightens horses more than
a traction engine, and if they chance to
meet cn a narrow grade eomeone will
meet with more or less loss.

AN INTERESTING LETTER
Written by One of Oar Volunteers at
Manila.
Max J. Bartell writes the following
description of their arrival at the Phil
ippines :
Cavite, July 18, 1898.
Having landed and taken in the sights
I now find considerable news to writ9.
We entered Manila bay Jane 30th and
steamed silently to our moorings among
the great grey monsters of "Dewey's
fleet.
After a peaceful slumber on the silent
bay we proceeded to emDark for the
shore July 1st. The Oregon regiment
was the first to go ashore, and we were
comfortably lodged in our quarters be
fore the Californians Btarted to land.
Ah I but it. is a sight for your life to
look about and see the bristling masts
and smokestacks of tbe sunken Spanish
fleet. It seems strange to eee ten sunk
en warships and Dewey's' small fleet
floating uninjured in the bay.
Cavite fort is a small peninsula about
one mile by one-half and is connected to
the mainland by a narrow paved road
way about 80 feet wide. It is surround
ed by a stone wall from 20 to 30 feet
thick and about 30 feet high. When
Dewey captured the fort it contained
about 150 cannon and 500 modern rifles
which he gave to the natives.
At Dewey's arrival the natives took
new courage and began fighting with
vim, and- step by step they drove the
Spaniards back until now they are all in

gents took about 3000 prisoners, which
are in the prison just across the street

The second expedition came in yester
day, Sunday, July 17, and we ate going
to move on Manila Wednesday. I hard
ly think that we will have to do much
fighting to take tbe city ; but you can
not tell what the Spaniards will do.
One thing, however, is certain, and
that is we are going to take Manila; the
harder the Spaniards fight the more fun
it will make for us, so we don't care.
The bays are all crazy for a fight and
I hope when we do fight we will keep up
the reputation of the American soldier.

REGAINED HIS SPEECH.
Remarkable Kzperlence of a I. a Grande
Man Wlio Was Dumb.
People lead of wonderful recoveries
from loss of eensee in novels and ro
mances, and become accustomed to re
gard them as products of the imtnagi-
nation. But here, almost at home, is an
instance that equals, in surprising qual
ities, any we havo ever read in the
njost exciting woik cf romance. It oc
curred in La Grande, and is told by the
La Grande Chronicle:
Harry Raymond has been as dumb
as an oyBter for over two years, but to
day he can talk like a Dutch uncje.
Kaymond is employed as chief at the
East Side restaurant on Fir street, and
for a long time has abandoned all hone
of ever hearing again. He was ia St.
Louis two years ago last May, when tbe
terrible tornado wrought, such destruc-
7 m i 1 1, .. , T 1 T T 1 1 1 ...
" " kuui, city, ue was nuriea witn
terrific force along with a mass of flying
debris against the wall of a building.
The last thing he reme.nbers he was
stretching out his hands in the vain
effort to rescue a dying girl. Then came
a blank. For five weeks he hovered be
tween iife and death willi brain fever.
When he recovered he was speechless.
Not only was he unable to articulate,
but be couldn't produce the slightest
sound with his mouth.
R&ymonlwaa'a regular pharmacist
but be lost his job. Drugstores did not
want men, however Ekillful they might
be in preparing prescriptions, unless
they could talk enough to sell tooth
brushes and perfumery.
Monday night, however, at a .time
when he had abandoned all hope, he
suddenly spoke. He don't know him
self how it happened and he was as
much surprized as anvbodv. At anv
rate he was annoyed at some of the
help in the restaurant and his first
words would not have been appropriate
in a Sunday school. After he had con
gratulated himself in audible tones, he
went into the saloon next door and
called up the bovs lo take somethioar.
They had known him for months as a
mute and were frightened.
