The destruction of Bemis & Son's
shingle mill, at Castle Rock, Wash., was
a serious loss. The building and
machinery, as well as 300.000 tihingles,
were destroyed. The watchman of the
building is unable to tell bow the fire
originated. Twenty-five men were
thrown out of employment. It' is not
known yet whether the mill will be re
built. In some way the report got circulated
last night that Walter Dickey, one of
the volunteers of Co. L from this city
had died at Manila of Malarial fever.

man should fall victim to the dreaded
disease. Later it was learned that the
report was untrue and accordingly the
latest word received he was on a fair
way towards recovery.
Up to the hour og going to press today
nothing definite was learned concerning
the launching of the Regulator. A ru
mor got afloat that an unsuccessful at
tempt was made this morning, but the
ways broke down and left the boat on j
the rocks in as bad a shape as she was
before they started to work on it, a few
weeks ago. This report lacks confirma

is no truth in it.
The insane man who was captured
near this city Thursday night, was in a
calmer mood this morning than he has
been since he was lodged in jail, and he
was able to tell more concerning him
self. He said that his name was Frank
Hesey and that he was from Texas. He
stated that he did not know his age,
more than that he was over 20, but is
apparently about 25 years of age. He
is light complected, smooth faced, and
weighs about 125 pounds. He was ex
amined by a physician this morning and
adjudged insane. Sheriff Kelly took
him to the assylum at Salem today.
A meeting of the water commissioners
was held last night, and the subject of
improving the present water system was
discussed. Mr. Olney, the maker of in
surance rates was present, as well as all
the members of the commission. It was
decided that another 12x16 incn main
would be laid from the reservoir to
Front streets. From ' this mains
would run down Front, Second
and Third streets, being bo connected as
to form a circuit and in this way greatly
increase the power. Another meeting
will be held next Wednesday to more
fully consider the matter and make ar
rangements to begin the improvements.
A lively ecu file occured last evening
between the night watchman and an in

resturant and raised a disturbance and
was thrown out. Nightwatchman Phir-
man proceeded to arrest the drunk who
resisted in a rather peculiar way. He
eat down on the sidewalk and raised the
wooken leg which was a very formidable
weapon and whenever anyone came near
he wonld strike viciously. Mr. Phirman
attacked him in the rear when he was
not looking and held him until some by
standers lent a hand in putting him in a
meat cart and lodging him in jail. This
morning be was brought before the re

AN EPISODE IN THE PHILIPPINES
Sergeant J. M. Kartell Relates a Visit to
the Insurgent's Intrencbmenta.
A letter from Sergeant J. M. Bartell
was received by one his friends in this
city Thursday, and with the permission
of the said friend we publish a few nar
ratives from the same. They are as fol
lows: Cavitk, July 27, 1898.
The third expidition came in Monday,
July 25th, but everything is quiet. The
California boys moved across the bay a
a few days ago and they felt quite
elated to think that they should precede
the Oregonians, but if they knew that
we were going to be landed from the
war ehips and that we are reserved with
the regulars, they would not feel so good.
Five of ns non-commissioned officers
crossed the bay last Sunday to see the
the native soldiers, and we prowled
around until our curiosity was aroused
to see a battle between the Spaniards
and insurgents. There was a little fir
ing going on when we got started, and
when we got within a few hundred yards
of the intrenchments they commenced
firing and the bullets flew all around us.
We stood a few minutes and reconnoi
tered, but having come so far we con
cluded we would see it through, eo we
ran ahead and got behind the insur
gent's intrenchments for about twenty
minutes, during which time the fire was
so heavy that the twigs of the trees were
falling all around us.
After the fire had subsided a little, we
moved around to the flank, where the
natives were with a cannon. After
helping them fire the cannon a few
times we concluded we would go back,
but retreat was not as easy as advance,
for we were exposed to the fire of the
enemy for at least a mile, and as there
was no telling when they would stop and
as we had to be back for retreat roll, we
broke out into a brisk trot. It was
amusing to see the boys dodge when a
bullet came near them, and as I was in
the rear, I commenced making fun of
them and they kept denying that they
dodged, eo they said that they would
prove it by taking turns in the rear. I
would not do that so they all stopped
running and we walked the rest of the
way.
It does not look as if we will have
much trouble witn the Spaniards. Up
on the arrival of the Monterey they will
probably eurrender.
When we get into Manila we are go
ing to have swell uniforms white shoes,
white suits and white helmets.
All the Dalles boys are well, except
Walter Dickey, who has been sick ever
since we came on shore. He now looks
quite bad'y, but I hope he will pull
through.

EASTERN OREGON WHEAT.
The Yield Placed at 18,000,000 Bushels
This Season.
The wheat yield of Eastern Oregon is
ven as 18,000,000 bushels by A. M.
ennings, editor of the Pendleton Trib-
ne. He Baid :
It is conservatively estimated that
the twelve counties of Oregon east of the
Cascades, commonly known as Eastern
Oregon, will this year raise 18.000,000
bushels of wheat, or within 2.000,000
bushels oi the yield of the entire state in
1897. This is 5,150,000 bushels more,
than last year's output in Eastern Ore
gon, but reports from threshing already
done justify the assertion. Imagine
outputs of fifty to sixty and even sixty
two bushels to the acre of wheat, and
yields of forty to forty-five so common
as to be considered only fair.
'The firet report of the season, which
came in about a month ago, was an av
erage, if I remember correctly, of forty
two bushels to the acre. This was con
sidered an exaggeration, as in past sea
sons the average of the beet grain has
been from thirty to thirty-five bushels,
but succeeding announcements that
even forty-two was far under the best
brought the conclusion that 1893 was
going to lead all history of that remark
able district.
"The beet yield threshedthus far be
longs, I believe, to a man named Nelson
near Weston, who is credited with get
ting sixty-two and a half bushels to the
acre from a quarter section. Other
yields of from forty-five to fifty-five
bushels to the acre in fields of from one
hundred and sixty to one thousand acres
are common..
"There has not been much wheat sold
in our district, but what has been dis
posed of has been sold has brought from
fifty to fifty-three cents. This is about
ten cents below the qotations of last
year.
"The acreage of Eastern Oregon wheat
this year exceeds by probably a tenth
that of 1897, in Umatilla county there
being 200,000 acres, against 180,000 last
vear.
"The actual output in dollars of the
grain fields and stock and sheep ranges
in 1897 amounted to $332 for every man
woman and child.

About one month ago my child, which
is fifteen months old, had an attack of
diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I
gave it such remedies as are usually
given in such cases, but as nothing gave
relief, we sent for a physician and it was
under his care for a week. At this time
the child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty-five
operations of the bowels every twelve
hours, and we were convinced that un
less it soon obtained relief it would not
live. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended,
and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a
change for the better; by its continued
use a complete cure was brought about
and it is now perfectly healthy. C. L.
