This is an opportunity no economi

moments thought considering the posi
tive increase in the cost of all goods, the
assortment we carrv, and the fact we
have not as yet incroased our prices will
convince any one that a reduction on
the present low prices is an offer
which cannot reasonably be expected
again.

Flour is now worth $10 a barrel in
Burns. This ia tlio highest pricj ever
obtained for that staple in our town. It
ia really outrageous. This commodity
is something that merchants never ex
pect to realize but a very small profit
from. Ten cents a sack satisfies all
reasonable dealers. II is not good
business management to make a corner
on such an article. Wo trust to seethe
price reduced to aomothlng near the
actual cost of delivery here. Harney

A telephone message from Hood River
this morning announced the sudden
death of Dr. P. G. Barrett at that place
last evening. He had apparently beeu
well, and upon returning from the
stable, where ho had been to attend to
some chores, fell dead. No particulars
could be obtained, other thnn that word
had been Edit to his brother and no
arrangements would be made for burial
until lie is heard from. He was a
brother of Prof. Barrett, who was a
teacher in The Dalles schools boido years
since, but who now resides at Baker,
nnd was also an old and much re
spected resident of Hood River.
Mrs. Edith Wethcrred passed through
on yesterday's afternoon train, return
ing from a visit into the mining Bection
of Eastern Oregon. The object of her
visit was to secure samples of ore to be
taken by the Oregon delegates to the
editorial association at New Orleans and
distributed among the editors, thu3 ad
vertising our mines. She made a tour
of tlio mines adjacent to Sumpter, and
wus most successful in her efforts, each
mine vying with the other in contribut
ing the choicest samples. These will be
neatly placed iu email boxes, labeled
and forwarded to New Orleans, where
they will be distributed.by the delegates.
The bowling tournament season
opened at Astoria Saturday afternoon,
and from two to ten sets of games will
be bowled in the three contests sched

A team from Tho Dalles will play the
Illihees at Salem Thursday, Y. M. C.
A. at Portland Friday, and tho Aatoriaus
Saturday. Next week, Thursday, tho
Salomitus will play our team at the club
alleys. Speaking of tho games the Ore
goniansnys: "Bowlers aro freely pre-;
dlo'ing that the Feldenheiiner cup will
go either to Tlio Dalles or Illihee, with a
shado of probability in favor of the
former. Tlio contests, however, will bo
exceedingly close, and if a lesort to total
pins to decide is necessary, nobody will
be surprised. The Dalles claims to be
short one or two of their host men, but
tho same state of affaire has existed bo
fore nnd the team has ahvavs been able
to give oppoeing teams nil tiioy went to
do and has usually pulled out on top.
There seems to be something In the air
at Tho Dalles tliat makes the propaga
tion of good bowlera an easy task."
Dufur seems to be somewhat skeptical
regarding the scheme of Dalles people
to build a road Into the interior. Well,
we acknowledge it may not look bright,
but we can say this much, that in the
presence of the reporter a few days since
a gentlemao, who ia fully able to make
his word good, said the money was
forthcoming for the survey, nnd if it
were not, it should be made if he had to
pay for it. The state of the weather at
present is not such as to make it an easy
mutter to secure surveyors. Willi the
feasibility of the scheme assured, the
road, wo believe, will be a go. Speaking
of the survey now being made out in
that section, the Dispatch adds : "Dufur
would sooner be connected directly with
The Dalles by railroad, but if any per
son of that city will rouse himself
enougn to drive out on any road leaning
ill this direction for a distance of five
ilea he will cease to blame Dufurites
(or being pleased at the probability of a
railroad connecting us with any market."
KILLED ON THE TRACK.
Laborer Full OrT the Trnln
Htcallng n Itlile.
While
Eirly yesterday morning Coroner
Butts received a message that a dead
man had been found on tlio railroad
track near Mosicr. He left on the early
morning train and later sent for Robert
son to brim; down a team and under
taker. Accordingly, in company with
Wm. Michel!, ho left here at 7 o'clock,
reaching there about 10:30. They found
what seemed to be the body of a laborer,
dreadfully mangled, lying between the
tracks about 100 yards from the Mosier
depot. The body had been severed in
two places, the head and upper part
lying about two feet from the main
track. It was thought he must have
been dragged about ninety feet.
The remains were brought to this city.
In the evening two men called at the
undertaker's and recognized it as tho
body of one Albert Dazelle, a man ot
about 45 years, who had been working
with them on tlio portage road across
the river, driving n team for the past
three week?. They came to the city
Saturday, intending to beat their way
to Portland, but lie gave them to under
stand he would remain here awhile.
Saturday night he cashed checks at
Ben Wilson's East End saloon to
the amount of $14 or $15, and that was
tho last seen o' him. He must have
boarded freight train No. 21 in order to
etenl a ride, and fell off near Mosicr. It
is said that another man accompanied
him, who must have gone on to Port
land. No information as to his place of resi
lience nor family could be obtained,
other than that he told one of the men
he had two children.
An inquest was held this morning,
resulting in the following verdict:
We, the jury impanelled by W. II.
Butts, cironer of Waeco county, to in
quire into the cause of the death oi the
body now before us, find from the evi
dence and facts produced before us, that
the name of tho deceased was Albert
Dazelle, wliose age was about forty-five
years, and by occupation a laborer, who
immediately before he came to his death
was employed on the portage railroad
near Columbus, Wash., anil that he
came to his death on the G.h day of
January, 1900, about tho hour of 12
o'clock; that he fell from a freight train
moving west, und was run over and
killed thereby. That from the evidence
produced this jury is of the opinion that
said deceased fell from said train while
trying to beat bis way from The Dalles
to Portland, nnd that no one is respon
sible for said death.

A WARM MEETING.
The Wuter CoiniuWt toners Ueftintllnc
Ouestlon Italxeil n Tempest.
The council ia holding what might
be termed "protracted meetings" at
present, and they are not lacking in in
terest either, particularly the Saturday
night session, when some of tho council
men got warmed up in great shape, as
did also the visiting water commission
ers. Tho couiicilmen who took part in
tho deliberations were, beside Mayor
Kuck, Clough, Keller, Stephens, Johns,
Gunning, Johnston, Shackelford, Keller
and Wilson.
Tho bone of contention seemed to pre
sent itself when the question of refund
ing tho water bonds was brought up and
Councilman Wilson, seconded by John
son, olftred an amendment. As stated
in the report of the last meeting,
tho water commissioners presented
au ordinance providing for tho re
funding of J25.000 worth of bonds.
These bonds becomo duo March 1st,
and on aicount of improvements recent
ly made amounting to 11,000 and other
expenses, they will bo unable to meet
thoni and therefore desire to refund for
twenty years at tlio rate of four per cent,
tho former rate having beon six. There
was a tempest in a teapot when a motion
for amending and changing it to read
$20,000 was made.and a discussion'eusued
in which the question of boring for
artesian water was somehow introduced
to which it seems eome object and for
which they claim the extra $5000 will be
used. While they claimed they had no
desire to curtail the commission, at the
same time they deem the artesian ques
tion a most uncertain one, and stated
thnt if in the future such a cause should
be taken the funds could be obtained
from the revenues. They nlso contend
ed that the money should he appropri
ated for the use intended, to reduce the
bonds, Tho water commission were nl
so divided on the question, some hold
ing for amendment and others for the
full sum of $25,000. When put upon
dual passage, however, tho amended
ordinance carried on a vote of six to
three, as follows: For Keller, Clough,
Wilson, Johnson, Shackelford and Kelly,
Against Stephens, Johns and Gunning,
An ordinance providing for the city
entering iuto a ten years' contract with
Seufert & Coudon for maintaining a fire
alarm system, was introduced and car
ried with but one dissenting vote,
Johns then introduced a resolution of
the council determining the size, depth
and general plan of tlie sewer system,
which was placed on final passngo and
carried.
On motion of Gunning tho estimate
of the cost of the proposed sewer system,
which was to have been made by the
council, was postponed until next meet
ing, which, on motion of Gunning, will
be held tomorrow evening.
Tho submitted written repbrt of tho
finance committee, which will be pub
lished tomorrow, was then read and
accepted.
