A petition signid generally by the people of Antelope requesting that the salary of stock inspector be increased from $250 to $500 was considered by the commissioners court today, and a raise of $100 was decided upon, the salary now being (350. The commissioners' court is still con sidering the question of the roads, and a petition of C. R. Bone and others for a road leading from the town of Hood River (or the new mill) to the boat land ing was denied on the grounds that the terminus of the road was vague and in denfiite. Gov. T. T. Geer is in receipt of a draft from the secretary of the interior for $1475.84, being 5 per cent of the net proceeds ot the sale of public lands in Oregon, made by the government during the past year, This amount of money will be apportioned among the various counties for school purposes. The river is still falling at this place, slightly, and stood this morning at 12.7. The Oregonian yesterday devoted a page to very interesting statistics regarding the water situation, which certainly go a long way in persuading one that we are to have a flood. But, after all, there is only One who knows, and He won't tell. The attention of our amateur photog raphers is again called to the visit of Mr. G. M. Weister to our city. He will arrive from Portland this evening, and will meet all those interested in pho tography at the court house this evening at 8 o'clock, when he will give an ex hibition of lantern slide views of North western scenery. No admission is to be I charged, and it is a splendid chance for amatenr to receive much information, and at the same time be entertained. An exchange tells of a visitor -at a public school, who, being requested to address the pupils, spoke of the neces sity of obeying their teacher and grow ing up to be useful, loyal and patriotic citizens. .To emphasize his remarks, he pointed to a large, national flag that almost covered one end of the room, and said : "Now, boys, who can tetl me what that flag is there for?" One little fellow who understood the condition of the room better than the speaker, re plied: "I know, sir. It's to hide the dirt." Few places the siz9 of The Dalles have as many pretty homes as has this city, and this spring we' are enjoying a boom in this direction, for dotted here and there throughout "the residence portion new buildings are going up whicb will be ornaments to the town. Mr. Pease's hew bouse will soon be oc cupied, as will also Judge Bennett's. Already the grounds around the latter are being terraced and one can readily see they are to be beautiful. Another -very pretty home is that of Frank Meue fee, cn the hill, which is nearly com milk if i pleted. Then F. C. Sexton has begun the construction of a fine residence on the knoll above Seventh street, one of the most beautiful sites in town. There are also many others going up of which the city should feel proud. IT WILL BE SETTLED. Now that Boston lias Come to Oar Assistance. A poor seedy looking individual, who looked like the last leaf on the tree, but with a pair of intelligent .eyes, entered the court house this morning, and gazing for a time about its hallowed walls, asked Jailer Fitzgerald if court waB in eession. Being told that it was he remonstrated that he conld not find it. John then took him to the court room and left him to the tender mercies of the judge, who in quired bis business. He was told that he was a Boston lawyer, who had seen brighter days; that he had some busi ness at Prineville, but having become what we term "broke," requested ten cents to purchase a sandwich (presum ing we bad no beans). Inquiring if the county clerk was the district attorney, and being answered by some wag that he was, he laid his woes before him. The result was that he received some assist ance from the gentlemen present. . ' However, this did not seem to suffice, and he sought the sheriff's office, where he informed them that he thought the county might be more liberal since he was going to Prineville to settle the question regarding the removal ot the Prineville stage line from The Dalles to Moro, in favor of the former city. This brought down the "house" and if it did not accomplish the desired end, sufficed to make known to the court just what a precarious condition this queetion is in, when we must send to Boston for a member of the legal fra ternity to settle it. Surely if he succeed not, we will be compelled to call upon a Philadelphia lawyer. There are more ways of securing as eistance than are dreamed of in our philosophy. When Nature Needs assistance it may be best to render it promptly, but one should remember to use even the most perfect remedies only when needed . The best and most simple and gentle remedy is the Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. - . Positions Wanted.

Harry Frertden Tells of Real War He Was la It With the Kest. The letters in the Oregonian concern ing the battled are interesting; but here is what one ot our own boys says con cerning his experience. He writes home as follows : Caloocan, P. I., Block House, on Firing Line, March 29 As we aro lay ing around camp and are only doing guard duty at night which is out poet duty at that, I thought I would drop you a line to let you know that after go ing through three good battles, I have come out without a scratch, but have eeen some noble men go down by my side, some shot dead and others wounded. No doubt ere this you have heard all about us, and the work we have done, which, if I do say it myself, is something the people of Oregon, can justly be proud of, and their Oregon regiment; and the Eighth army corps can be proud of their record. As the paper here states, never in the history of the United States or the war with Spain has any regiment made such a gallant charge across an J open field to a fortress made of tienches that seemed almost inevitable. In fact, it was said the artillery dare not approach under deadly fire, but the Oregon regi ment, from that good old Webfoot state, fought every inch of ground until the trenches were scaled and the negroes driven from them. It is difficult to ex plain to you on paper, or even by talk, just how the trenches are constructed the only way is to go and see them, and then think how in heaven's . name we ever came oat alive. Only the Kansas regiment, which has been guarding them for forty days, knew how strong they were; and they have a colonel who bad been through the civil war, and also under Gomez in Cuba before the war with Spain. He 6aid that those trenches could never be taken by infantry, and to try to capture them would mean the death of every man but we took them, and now are called light artillery. We were told before we went into them we would have the hardest position, so collected ourselves and faced it bravely. After we left the city on March 24th, we marched within one mile of their entrenchments and rested lor the rest of the day. When it was dark we pushed on and fell into our places while the gunboat Helen sent forth its blazing search-light, so as to assist ub in locat ing the insurgents in case they should fire upon us. We could see them, but the light was so strong on them they could not see us. Everything was quiet until daylight, when the artillery threw some shells at them and soon the insurgents were en gaged. - After a few minutes of volley firing the command came, "Foward!" Lord 1 but that took my breath away. They were showering ns with lead, but quickly we pushed on and over we went. We bad scarcely taken ten eteps when three boys went down to my right, for you see the negroeB were only 100 yards away but on we went forgetting every thing, until the command was given to lie down. I tell you, I dropped like a flash, and I don't think I ever got so close to the ground before in my life. About this time it sounded like there were 10,000 men beating on tin cans and the heavens seemed to burst open and revealed a light as strong as day, or as if a hugh fire-cracker had burst right before my eyes, giving that funny feel ing of wanting to wink your eye as faet as you can. . The next order came like a death war rant to the poor soldiers, when tbey screamed, "Forward boys! give them h 1." .And we did ; with one yell and with a run we were on the top of their entrenchments, in less than ten minutes after we had left ours. After we suc ceeded in routing them and chasing them for one mile and a quarter we stopped, for that was sufficient to let them know the staff that makes the American. It was undoubtedly a gallant charge, but it cost ua some fine men. In that short time we lost more men than any company three killed and eleven wounded, and one has eince died yet we made a name for Oregon, and Com pany L ia on everybody's lips. When we retreated, it was then I saw the horrors of war. Waa surprised to find them so strongly entrenched. It was a miracle that every one of us were not killed, for the insurgents ' were scattered in bunches of three or four. It was a complete victory for us in Malabori that day. We didn't enter the city for they burned It and the names are licsing up everything at present writing. Just now we are only resting, for General Otis says we are deserving of it. I felt the shakest when we were falling in line and the Manser bullets were cutting the leaves and limbs off the trees beside us. ' After sealing the trenches I didn't seem to know or re member a thing well, in fact, we crossed a railroad track and I actually didn't know it until we returned and saw it. A fellow's spirits are the lowest when he sees his comrades go down by the side of him, shot dead or wounded. You don't think about yourself getting hit, for you haven't time and you don't want to all that urges us on is to get there aa quick as you can, and work for "sweet revenge." Really, one is half crazy, midst yelling and roaring of thousands at work, and to be an eye wit ness to the cruel death of the ones yon have learned to love and protect. I saw six noble fellows meet death, but had the pleasure of seeing five times that many negroes yield to the accuracy of our aim. But one life of an American ia worth a thousand of them. We had some very narrow escapes in our com pany. Two fellows' liyes were saved by having cartridges m their pockets. One fellow barely escaped, for the bullet entered his breast, but striking the cart ridges glanced off and came out on the left eide tearing several shells into smithers. Some were shot through the hat, others lost a finger ; but I waB fortunate. One fellow had been wound ed and Jess Bollam, H. O., was dressing the wound, when he was struck in the back with a bullet, and died in Jess' arms. I am well, and willing to go in again but at the same time, I am not" looking for a scrape now like I was, for that fight took the scraping qualities out of me. I muBt also say, our captain is the cool est headed man in our regiment, and a man can't help from fighting under his orders. The mail is now being collected so this must go. Will be home with you one year from next Christmas. Walking for a Bride. We hear much these days of walking for "dat cake," but the latest thing is walking for "dat bride," and having her bake the cake afterward. The first in stance we have heard of this kiud oc curred this morning, when W. F. Gaston and his intended father-in-law walked into the clerk's .office and obtained a marriage license, the former having won the right to wed Mary C. Kiser by arie ing at sun-up and walking with Mr. Kiser from Hood River a distance of twenty-five miles reaching the city at 11:30. The poor fellow looked some what as if he was ready to back out, with the thought of the returning twenty-five miles looming up before him, which had to be made before sundown ; but the father insisted no man could have bis daughter who couldn't accom plish such a light feat, and he bravely faced the music and securing the docu ment they started back. It is said that the deputy clerk fur nished a 10-cent revenue stamp to place on the licenee, with the promise that be was to kiss the bride. But we Imagine he will consider the question a long time and lose his ten cents before walking to Hood River to collect. The happy couple are to be united Sunday, and bis friends trust his fate will be unlike that of his predecessor, who walked the same distance before, and after winning the prize kept it but three short months. - A Wonderful Discovery.
