The Deschutes mill, engine nnd boiler,
of tho Sherman County Lumber Co.,
is now safely at tho site on tho Harris
place. The new plant was haulod in
from the railroad at The Dalles by
Wamic teams by I. D. Driver, James
Woodcock and Geo. Miller, making sev
eral heavy loadfl. The company have
in their boom aa fine a lot of logs as ever
was in tho country, and will be turning
out firat class lumber in about ten days.
Tho first log drive was made under great
difficulties but in future many causes of
trouble may bo avoided, and the enter
priie can now be voted a perfect suc
cess. The machinery is all new und

Tho blind couple are still in our city
nnd seem to bo very successful in a
financial way. Dalles people have never
been known to be anything but generous
in such cases, und it is much to their
credit. Many have been heard to re
mark, "Oh they are better off then we,
and should not be encouraged." Be
that as it may, it is always better to be
on the safe side; for while they may net
be In need of the small giftB which aro
bestowed upon them, it is well to re
member that those who give are bene
fited thereby, and in so doing we receive
equal blessing with the recipients.
It ii not likely ltecruiting Officer
LewiB will visit The Dalles again as was
intended when he left here for Salem,
he having received orders to report for
duty at Vancouver Barracks. The re
quisite number of recruits for the Thirty
fifth have been obtained, but other regi
ments are to be recruited. While it is
not definitely known w hen the Thirty
fifth infantry will depart for the Philip
pines, it is quite probable they will be
numbered among troops that will be
given transportation on the several
transports that are scheduled to sail for
tho scene of the Filipino insurrection
about September 10th.
Claud McCoy is pretty badly bruised
upnstho result of falling from a train
Thursday evening. It seems lie was on
his way to Pendleton, nnd when just
this side of Grunts, feeling sick ho
stepped to tho platform. A few min
utes after he reached tho steps he fainted
and fell from the train. Thinking he
was in the smoker his friends did not
miss him. Tho accident happenedat
1 o'clock and tit 8 o'clock in tho morn
ing ho regained consciousness nnd finding
himself laying beside the track, lie made
his way to the hotel at Grants, where he
remained until No. 1 came by. Reach
ing tliis city Dr. Geieeudorfl'er dressed
his wounds, which consisted of a badly
bruised face and right hand.
A very interesting entertainment was
given at the Christian church last
evening. Tho program consisted princi
pally In the answering of questions
which were propounded to tho soldier
boys present by thy audience. Earl
Sanders, W. Brown Jim Elton and
Johu McNiel gave very satisfactory
answers concerning the life on the
islunds and experiences In the battles.
Among other things they told of how
poorly the business places in Manila
were kept; of their filthy condition ; and
that tho native were certainly not
capable of governing themselves. The
boys think if a man could go to the
Yesterday when tlte Regulator reached
Collins Iinding, she had the misfortune
to have her cylinder nnd crosstiead
break. Engineer Granlund patched
them up ns best he could and took the
precaution to warn tho deck hands to
lock the wash room and prevent an; one
ottering an the steam was liable to break
loose and injure anyone who might bo
inside.
Just after they left the landing George
Percy, a deck hand, concluded the dun
Kcr was not eo great after all and went
in. He had no sooner entered than ihe
engineer's words were verified and the
steam poured in. His face and hands
were badly scalded; to much so that
the skin is off in places. He was in a
predicament th?n as to how to get out,
as he could not face the steam by going
out of the door. He, however, man
aged to get out of the small window, and
by grabbing the life line lit on the
guards.
Few restoratives were at hand, but
everything was done for him that was
possible under the circumstances and on
the return trip he was left at his home
at White Salmon.
I The steamer mado the rest of the trip
t In nnito rf tipr Hlonlilpd rnnrlltinn tint if
was not considered practicable to at
tempt the rapids with the passengers
aboard, so they were transferred to the
Dalles City, which was met at Steven
son, and that steamer made the lecks,
when the Regulator passengers again
hoarded her for Portland, and the Dalles
City came on, reaching here at about
8:30 in consequence of tho delay. The
Flyer will make the trip up today, while
the cylinder of the Regulator is being
repaired.
Are in Favor of The DalleH.
Paul Mohr, together with Wm. Harris,
Oscar Huber and Engineer Strack, of the
Cential Navigation & Construction Co.,
spent last evening and this morning in
The Dalles. Laet night they were entei
tained nt the Commercial Club, meeting
many of our business men. Senator
Turner, who is the head man of the com
pany, aud Mr. Evaap, who was expected
to join them here yesterday, failed to ar
rive. The former will, however, be here
some time next week.
The engineer lias completed his survey
across the river, and as far us can be
learned the object of their visit is to
determine whether or not the heavy
work on the portage will be begun at
oisca, which will probably be decided
after Senator Turner's visit.
The company is said to be in sympathy
with The Dalles and seem to be willing
to do their part toward making this their
terminus if Dalles people are enough in
terested to do their part. The engineer
will triangulate the river, and determine
about what the cost of bridging it
would be, and then tho matter can be
considered by our people.
A splendid plan would be to appoint n
committee of citizens to confer with
Senator Turner upon his visit next
week.
