Hold-ups and robberies are becoming

night the station at Biggs was entered

with him, so the burglar (or whoever
the Intruder was) got badly left.

Mr. P. Brenner, an extensive farmer
of Eight Mile , was in the city the first of
the week, and informed ua that tho
grain in his section is "out of sight." A
great deal of the volunteer is up 12
Inches, and no doubt some of it will
joint before freezing weather sets in.
Instead of proving a detriment to the
grain, Mr. Brenner thinks it will be a
benefit to it, because it will prevent the
snow from blowing over and freezing
out the roots. Like all other farmers he
is already rejoicing over next year's
crop, which promises to be a stunner.
Heppner Times.
A teacher in a Boston euburban school
received the following "eggscuse" from
the mother of a boy who had failed to
be present on a certain day: "Dear
Teacher, Please eggecuee Andrew James
tor not having went to school yesterday.
He started all right, but him and
another boy stopped for a little swim in
the river, and a dog came along and
carried off Andrew James' pantB and
shirt and he bad to stay in the water
until the other boy come home and got
more pants and shirts for him, and then
it was too late. Under the circum
stances you could not expect him to be
there bo kindly eggscuse.
Look out for your money, particularly

Joking aside, the counterfeit dollar
question is assuming alarming propor
tions here, and complaints are heard
daily concerning the number in circula
tion. It is thought they are manu
factured in Mexico. A perfect rain of
counterfeit nickels, ten cent pieces and
25-cent pieces is said to be flooding the
city of Seattle, and occasionally a spur
ious gold coin also turns up. But the
bogus silver is there in unlimited quan
tities. A gang of counterfeiters it is
thought have made that place their
headquarters. Up to this lime the slot
machines are said to be the chief losers.
The case of the State vs. Joseph Gan-
teman is occupying the attention of the
court today and is being tried before a
jury composed of A. W. Boorman, L. C.

field, C. V. Champlain, John Nolan,
Geo. W. Jordan, Thos. A. Leabo, C. A.
Cramer, Mike Glavey, D. L. Bolton and
C. E. Hay ward. Moore & Gavin appear
for the defendant and A.A.Jayne for
the plaintiff. The case is one in which
Gautemau was indicted for uttering a
forged check. It ia purported that on
May 6th in Charles Frank's saloon ho
tried to pass a forged check for .f 165 on
tho First National bank, Eigued by C. A.
Morris. He was arreeted at Sumpter.
This morning testimony was taken and
council for parties waived argument and
as we go to press the case was submitted
to the jury upon the instructions of the
court. As this is the laet case to be
tried, court will probably adjourn to
day So many inquiries have been made
legarding the improvements at the
electric light works and bo often have
we been asked concerning the time
which it will take to complete them,
that we propounded several questions
today by way of ascertaining Inforuia
tion on that subject. The work will be
finished about the first of the year, or
prehaps not until February, when they
will have a capacity for 1000 more lightB,
the old ones also receiving much bene

the present conditions the engine is

NO SUCH WORD AS DIE
Anil Tut Wn II end Our Obituary Bflnt
Hack From llm Othrr Mile--From
tlio llrniicli I.tne,
All Imimrlunt Dillcroncr,
To make it apparent to thousand?,
who think themselves 111, that they are
not afflicted with any dieeaee, but that
the system simply needs cleansing, is to
bring comfort home to their hearts, as
a costive condition is easily cured by
using Syrup of Figs, Manufactured by
tbe California Fig Syrup Co, only, and
sold by all druggists.
Latest thing in camaraB aro Im
proved Magazine cyclones at Doiiiiell's
drug store.
Wo have heard of one or two instances
in which poisons on the vergo of the
grnvo have been permitted to read their
own obituary, and had atleaBt the satis
faction of knowing how many bouquets
were placed on their bier and how much
their friendB would have appreciated
them had they passed in their checks.
But we confess this is the first time we
have known of a case where tho "corpse"
was in perfectly good health, with no
thought of turning up its toes, perusing
a long death notice in its honor. How
ever, such is the privilege of The Dalles
at present, and through the columns of
the Walla Walla Statesman are we privi
leged to read a biography of our former
greatness under the caption of "A
Doomed City."
, If it bad not been bo long a time since
that once lively berg had passed away,
we should be led to believe it was but
throwing at us the floral tributes in
evidence at its own obsequies. We
judge, however, they had none to spare,
since Walla Walla could never claim
one-half the prestige or advantages
which Tho Dalles now possesses, and
will possess less when the "branch" is
made ready with which to whip it, for
it will soon not even be oo the main
line. And yet in eloquent terms, and
with tear-"bleared"eyes the editor of the
Statesman comes forward and cries
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend
me your ears 1 I come not to praise The
Dalles, but to bury it. Its glory has de
parted never to return, and in the
future it will be known as a way station
without business and with but a meagre
population."
Ye gods! it doth amaze us how every
small town in Eastern Oregon seems
concerned regarding The Dallea and are
eternallv publishing notices of its
funeral. Why blesss ynu, the "corpse
ain't dead yet," and while we realize
that "misery loves company" we cannot
accommodate you. Moreover, we will
just say that The Dalles will stride
about like a huge Colossus, while many
of the petty towns which are stabbing it
will walk under its legs and peep about
to find themselves dishonorable giavea.
A pretty lively corpse we must confess,
when more business is today done in
The Dalles than in three or four places
of the calibre of those that are trying to
bury It.
We acknowledge that, like Walla
Walla, we do not control the trade that
we possessed in the early days spoken of
bv that paper, when the vat territory
now comprising the states of Idaho,
Montana and a portion of Eastern Ore
gon made this a trading point; but what
of the trade that once wob Walla
Walla's? What of the flour that was
once shipped from there, let alone other
staples? But then that place succumbed
so long since that even its memory is
blotted out.
We do not deny that we have loft un
done those things that wo should have
done, and that we have been threatened,
but it's nothing but "chicken-pox ;" it
isn't even variloid, and yet our people
have already resorted to vaccination,
and it's taking too. In a not far distant
period will bo seen the effects of this
preventive in a railroad reaching into
the interior which will bo a monu
ment erected not ovor tlm "doomed
city," but as n guide to lead nil to
where the Mecca may be found. Even
though such a movo wore not made,
The Dalles would not be a dead city by
any manner of mean?. From tho very
nature of tilings it could not be a corpse,
and will never ehake hands with Wallti
Walla on tho ether phore.
Therefore, while we stand gazing over
the gulf which separates na and seo the
beckoning hands stretched forth, wo
must decline the honor, for in the bright
lexicon of The Dallea there is no such
word as "die."
llepiut ofOrnnil Jury.
Following is the filial report of the
grand jury for the November, 1899, term
of circuit court, filed November 16:
We, the grand jury, herein submit
the following final report:
We have returned into court three
true bills of indictment, and have ex
amined some other matters which we
have notdeeined of sufficient importance
to report. We have examined the county
clerk's, sheriff's and treasurer's offices,
and the books, records and papers there
in, and find said offices well and correct
ly kept, so far aa we are able to judge.
We have nlso examined the county jail,
and find the same in good condition.
We have visited and examined the
county poor farm and find the same well
taken care of, and the inmates well satis
fied with the treatment they received by
the county court.
