YeBterday on the aftcn ODn train Geo.
Moss, of Victoria, D. C, arrived in the
city, biinging with him the body of
Goorge W. Young, who was killed last
Friday on tlie Esquimau & Nanaimo
railroad.
Mr. Moss called at the Ciino.vici.c
office this morning and gave the re
porter the following particulars con
cerning his death :
For the past eight or nine years George
lias been a resident of Victoria and
roomed at Mr. Moss' home. He was
much respected by all, his kind-hearted
nature and eociahle manner winning
him many friends. Particularly was
he a friend of the children in his neigh
borhood, never paEeing them by without
a emile and cherry word.
He has been employed by the Esqui
mau it Xanaiino road for about tux
years, and at the time of his death was
conductor on a branch road run by the
Chetuanus & Victoria Dumber Co., an
eigbteeu-iuile run to Cheinanus. That
day ho was doing double work, as con
i!uJtor and braketuan, and at 1 o'clock
had stepped between two cars to couple
them, Ko ono saw the accident, but it
ia supposed a brakebeaui struck him
and threw him under the train. His
left side was badly mashed and he died
almost instantly, bieathing but once
after the men reached him.
Tlie company deeply deploro tlio sad
accident, aa George had been a faithful
employee and one who had won their
esteem by his trustworthy character.
The body was shipped Saturday night,
and but for a delay in Taconm would
have leached hero Sunday night.
Having spent hia boyhood days and
much of hia life when quite o young
man in tiiis city, lie has "yet many
friends here who sincerely regret his
untimely death.
The funeral will take place from the
residence of.hia brother, S. D. Young, on
Sixth street, thia evening at 0 o'elcck.
All friends of tho deceas-ed and of the
family aro invited to ho pieeent.

InKd Dcdlr'iyl-.l-WlO.OOO
Word reached the city about 2 o'clock
this afternoon that tho fato of Cascade
Locks was hanging In tho balance; that
a destructive fire was raging, and as tho
wind was high and thero was no means
of fighting It tuceesfully, the entire
town was liablo to go.
The fire started from a pile of sawdust j
which is continually burning near the i
new Hnssell & Smith saw mill, and the
mill was eoon ablaze. Everyone fought 1
it as if frantic, but in vain, tlie main j
building and all adjoining buildings
used by tho company were soon de
stroyed. A high wind was blowing in the op
posite direction from two large structures
near by, and the only way lo save tho
town was to secure them. Everything
was removed trom them, but as tlie
wind kept in tho same direction they
were saved, and witli them thelittlc city.
Word was Eent here to Sheriff Kelly,
wtio authorized a deputy to take charge
of goods carried out of buildings.
It looked very dubious for a time there
and the residents began to fear their
property was doomed.
The loss to the company is about $10,
000. The conflagration ia doubly un
fortunate as the mill has been finished
but a few months, and was first-class in
every respect.
All of the bookB and valuable papers
are said to have been saved.
OPINION OF ONE WHO KNOWS
U hat Secietary Wlltfiin Thinks or East
ern Oregon.
Regarding his trip in Eastern Oregon
last Friday, Secretary of Agriculture
WilBon said among other things:
"I consider the ride up the Columbia
to be the finest on earth. I have never
seen its equal.
"Above the dalleB I saw an orchard
which proved to me that fruit will do
wonders theie. The only mistake made
was in putting out varieties of trees
whose fruit i: designed for immediate
consumption. If such an orchard was
near a large city, it would bo a money
maker instead of having its fruit wasting
on the ground as now. -The owner will
change the variety of his trees and make
the place a paying proposition. I con
sider the dried fruit industry of Eastern
Oregon as one of great promise. I pro
piose to buy and ship some dried fruit
from the Columbia valley and send it to
the Orient on trial, and publish full
details of results, and will do tho same
u ith canned salmon.
'This ia my first visit on the Pacific
coast and I am thoroughly looking into
your lesourcee. The possibilities for
this western country are simply wonder
ful. It is just budding into an immense
trade with the Orient. I visited ai
steamer a few days ago at Tacoma being
loaded for the East. There was cotton
from Alabama, tobacco, Milwaukee beer,
olcomaigarine, machinery and many
other products of this land. A few years
ago the goods were shipped from west to
tlie Atlantic, but now tho tables have
turned and the tide of trade has started
westward for the Orient. There are
great possibilities in the trade with
China, Japan, the Philippines and
other eastern lands. 1 am a firm be
liever in expansion and I believe all
you western peoplo nro of u like mind,
at any rate you should be.
"In legard to your lumber trade, at
the present rate of destruction to your
timber in fifteen years you will be short.
It is cause for alarm the great damago
being done to your forests by fire, anil
nt present 1 have a man in the field to
investigate the matter of preserving tho

timbers of this state, The East is draw
ing on your soft woods, besides tho
Orient and your home consumption,
and with all these markets, besido the
great damage by fire, tlie splendid
forests of this state will soon be de
pleted." Coming Next Week.
The Dalles is to be congratulated upon
the coming engagement of the Shaw
Company, which will be seen at the
Baldwin opera house for a week, com
mencing Monday, July 31st.
The company is one of the best known
organizations of its kind in tho West,
having been playing on tho coast for the
patt five seasons. And although they
nro strangers hero now, it is safe to pro
diet that their friends in The Dalles will
bo legion before tho week ia past. Their
rcpei toiro is composed of tho latest up-to-date
Eastern successes which are
producsd with that careful attention to
detail, which cannot fail to bring forth
a eatisfuctory result in the performances.
Each play ia cast with the idea to fit
each part to the actor who has to por
tray it. Special scenery is carried for
each piece. The costumes aro elaborate,
and, what is Liore to the point, they aro
correct.
The company's orchestra is one of the
best organizations of its kind on the
roid playing all classes of music from
the heavy classes to the modem "Rag
time" melodies thus touching in turn
a responsive chord in every heart. Their
band parade, concert and military is a
feature of each day.
