Bud Robbins. a former Dallesite, W.h?
was apprehended at Heppner last Wed
nesday, has confessed to the stealing of
buckboard, team and harness, at Day
lon, -VVaBh. ; also to the larceny of five
bead of Worses and 15 head of cattle at
Walla Walla. He is now in the custody
of Sheriff Lyden, of Lewiston, Idaho,
Robbins is also wanted in Montana. He
has only been out of the Walla Walla
penitentiary about eight months, having
served two and a half years for cattle
stealing.
' This morning Mr. C. H. Brown, fore
man at J. T. Peters' planing mill, had
a severe accident, which came very near
'depriving him of his right thumb; that
member having caught in the rollers.
But for his presence of mind in manipu
lating the lever, which he held in his
left hand, so as to stop the planer, his
entire hand would have been dragged in.
As it was, the first joint of bis thumb
was almost severed. Mr. Brown placed
it back and started for the doctor's of
fice at once, where it was sewed together,
and it is thought that the member may
be saved, although the first joint may
yet be lost.
The work of laying the water mains is
now completed, and Contractor Fryej
will probably return to Portland tomor-j
row. The increase in the supply of wa-j
ter is very noticeable throughout the
city. This morning the pressure was
tried at the plug on the corner of Third
and Court streets, and all who witnessed
the force of water and thought of the
extra plugs which had been put in,felt ii
security never experienced before. jAr-'
Tra"n"getnentB""fiave ' been "ma3e"wherebv
the fire pressure can be regulated at the
engine house, and in case of fire it is but
a half-minute's work for Mr. Brown to
turn the full-pressure on without leaving
the engine house. The contractor has
given entire satisfaction and gained
many friends during his stay in our
city.
From the appearance ot the river, we
are liable to have another blockade this
winter, the river being full of floating
ice today. This morning the Dalles City
started out bravely, and made her way
through the ice with no trouble at all ;
bat reaching a point a short distance be
law the city, her valves got full of slush
iisX and she was unable to make any
progress. Coming back, it was thought
toest to have her tow the wharf boat up
to Hungry Harbor for fear of a blockade,
which she did, and about 10 o'clock
started down the river again. It is
thought she will reach Portland with
little trouble. The Inland Flyer having
baen taken off for needed repairs, the
line is now running but one boat, which
makes a trip every other day. The Reg
ulator will, however, soon be ready for
service.
CharleB Willard, the man who was the
cause of the terrible tragedy at Seaside

death and that of Sheriff Williams and
Deputy Sheriff Lamers, was a familiar
character to Dalles people who frequent
Clatsop beach during the summer
months. HiB queer manner of living

many to brand him as an escaped con

summer he chanced to be doing some
work about the Williams cottage while

Hal French was visiting there, and hav
ing hi; kodak in band Hal asked him if
he might take his picture. He hesitated,
but finally said : "Yes; but you're the
only fellow that can take it." That,
and many other such remarks, caused
the suspicion that there was something
wrong in connection with the life of the
old fellow.
The Oregonian says: "The Road Club
team successfully defended the Felden
heimer trophy against the first challeng
er, The Dalles Commercial Club team,
last Monday night, and put np a -strong
game, although the total was 30 pins be
low the association record. The team
average was 44.54. The visitors averaged
close to 41, and were well pleased with
their showing. The home team won
three of the games, The Dalles winning
the last by 12 pins. D. Solomon, of the
Road Club, established a new associa
tion record for four games of 213. Hough
ton put up a good game for the visitors,
and was closely pressed by Baldwin for
first place. The Dalles team made an
excellent showing, and satisfied the on
lookers that they are bowlers of the first
pprder." The naner also savs that there
Wa'j some dissatisfaction among the
Dalles players in regard to a man who
bowled with the Road Club team, sup
posing him to be a professional. So far
as we can learn no complaint has been
made by our team, and the bowlers are
at a loss to know how the idea gained
credence.
TACO MA-COLUMBIA RIVER ROAD.
A New Railroad la Which The Dalle
Should Be Deeply Interested.
This seems to be a season of railroad
building, and The Dalles is perhaps
more interested than many of Its citizens
are aware of, for so far not much has
been known concerning "the Tacoma &
Columbia River Railroad, which is to so
thoroughly affect this city. Yesterday
Mr. E. B. Wood, of San Francisco, who
is representing this new road, and who
is well known to many people here, ar
rived from Mosier, where he has been
Visiting his parents, and la9t night met
a number of the members of the Com
mercial Club at their rooms, and ex
plained to them the details concerning
the new route. Much interest was
manifested by these gentlemen, and a
committee was appointed to investigate
the matter and to confer with s number
of the directors, who will arrive in this
city next month. The importance of
The Dalles as a terminal point is recog
nized by the company, and with suffi
cient co-operation by our citizens, they
expect to build through to this place by
next fall at leatt.
In an interview with Mr. Wood this
morning he Baid :
. "During a recent viBit to Tacoma, I
bad the pleasure ot meeting Colonel
William Bailey, the president of the Ta
coma and Columbia river railroad which
is destined to become a great factor in
the development of a section of the
country which has long been in need of

railroad communication with the outside
world.
'The proposed route is from Tacoma
to the wonderfully rich mineral and tim
ber region adjacent to Mt. Tacoma,
thence through the Cispns pass of the
Cascade mountains to Goldendale, Klick
itat county, and through that county to
a point on the Columbia river opposite
Wallula Junction, which will give that
section an outlet for its production.
From a point between the Klickitat
river and Goldendale, it is proposed to
construct a branch to The Dalles which
will enable the wool growers to ship
their immense wool crops directly to Ta
cama and thence by ships to all parts of
the world.
"A competing railroad is exactly what
this section needs. It will mean lower
freight rates and better service at a sea
son when the best is most needeed. If
The Dalles citizens will awaken to the
golden opportunity now presenting it
self to them and at once unite in extend
ing their hearty support and encourage
ment to the directors of the Tacoma and
Columbia river railroad there is no rea
son why a rich harvest should not be
reaped for the benefit of all. With the
car shops located here and this the ter
minal point, there would be a revival of
trade in all branches by which means
every citizen would be directly or in
directly benefited.
"New directors of the road have re
cently been chosen, every one of whom
ia interested in its early completion.
The new directorate includes Col. Wm.
Bailey, Samuel Collyer, Calvin Phillips,
Wm. Jones, A. M. Ingersoll, Henry He
witt, Jr., W. C. Wheeler, C. M. Shultz
and Judge Ira Town. They have the
earnest support of the leading Tacoma
citizens and those ot Klickitat and
Yakima counties, and that the road will
be oushed to completion as soon aa
spring opens there is no doubt. Let The
Dalles people unite in a decided effort to
secure the car shops and terminals for
this city and thus enable 'them to once
again enjoy the hum of industry and
consequent prosperity in their midst."
