The Dalles attonded the May U.iy pic
nic at Dufur yesterday, among them be
ing a liberal sprinkling of candidates,
who took advantage of the opportunity
oll'ored by the picnic to renow acquaint
auce with their constituents. The pic
nic was held in a grove abovo the town,
and was attended by hundreds of peo
ple. Tho proceedings opened with a
fine program by the pupils of the Dufur
schools. Iu tho afternoon a variety of
games und sporta were indulged in, and
the day closed with a public dance.
The weather clork wore his best bib and
tucker, and tho Dalles visitors report
cen'.er of rotation as possible, which
also gives an outward (tangential) force
to each part. In the case of the earth
at ite present velocity of ratation this
force lightens all bodies at the equator
by, '.'89 of their weight. This force it
is which defonuB the water level line

ern end of a water level line is higher
than the northern end.
As nn illustration of the waste of water
that occurs through the faucets in lava
torya and closjts being left wide open,
aB they not infrequently, through sheer
carelessness, are, the following is perti
nent: A meter was aecretly placed on
the pipe leading to a closet back of a
aaloon. In twenty-four houre the meter
had regietered a flow of 750 gallons of
water, 000 of which, and more, waa
sheer waste. Atinthnr whs Heeretlv
placed in connection with tho cloFet of
an oflice that employe two hands. In
twenty-four hours it had registered a
flow of over a thousand gallons, 950 of
which was aete. In view of the prob-
bio scarcity of water this summer, is it
'any wonder that the superintendent of
the water works is urgently asking con
sumers to stop thia waste?

A telegram reached here this after
noon announcing tho death at Tacoma
last night of Mrs. W. F. Aekew, eldest
daughter of Coroner Butts of this city.
She had been seriously .111 fr mouths
and her two sisters had arrivod at
Tuxnum amnt the hour of her departure.
The body will arrive here for InteYmenfj
tomorrow noon. As Mr. Butts went on
official business to Hood River this
morning the timo of interment Iibb prob
ably not been fixed, but it will piobably
take place Friday. Mia. Askew was
well and favorably known here, where
alio lived for years before her marriage.
Sho was about 110 years of age. The
husband and family of Mr. Butts have
the heartfelt sympathy of this com
munity. In reaponee to tho question, Is it
true that if tho earth should cease
to rotate, tho Mississippi river would
flow toward tho north ? the Scien
tific American answers: Certainly, it
is true. The earth Is not a sphere with
nil purta of Its surface equally distant
from its centori but the diameter
through the equator is about twenty-six
miles greater than that through the
poles. If ono should travel from the
pole to the equator, lie would olimb a
hill thirteen miles high, though he
would not be conscious of it. A river
flowing south is at its mouth further
from the centor of the eat tb than it is
at its own source. Or, put in common
language, it runs up bill. The cause of
this is foun-1 in the so-called "centrifu
gal force" of a rotating body, which

irapida are navigable at certain etagee of
water by boata like the Albany, that
aiavo tne requisite steam power, rroo
ably no boat could have made the ascent
at the time tho Regulator failed. Cer
tainly the failure waa from no lack of
"sand in the craw" of the captain of the
Regulator, to borrow the elegant phrase
of a writer in tho Times-Mountaineer,
but wholly on account of the etage cf
water at that particular time.
W. Van Pelt, a Celllo half breed was
examined today before Justice BrownhiTl
on tho ehargo of horse atoaling. Tho
testimony showed that Van Pelt had
sold tho horao iu controversy to ono E.
Curtis, a Vancouver man, for $13.50.
When Van Pelt got the money he pro
ceeded, as is hie wont, to fill himself up
with whiskey. In hie druukemiFss he
was heard to swear that he would have
his horso back, would steal him, iu fact;
claiming that Curtis had got the better
of him in tho bargain. Tho following
night the horse, which had been stabled
by Cnrtia at the East End feed yard,
waa stolen out of the stable, The horse
was last seen in tho possession of an
other Indian crossiug Millet's bridge
Sunday morning, the morning after lie
was stolen. The bridle that Van Pelt
had used on the animal when he brought
him to The Dulles before the sale was
found at Van Pelt's lodgings iu Celilo,
but the saddlo has not been found, It
is probably around there somewhere,
too. There court thought there was suf
ficient evidence to prove that Van Pelt
was, at leaet, a party to the theft, if
not the principal, and bound him over
t the gtand jury in the sum of $250.
Joo Purser and George Rich, of Hood
River, arrived in town last night, after
making a trip to tho Warm Spring res
ervation to procure Indians for straw
berry picking, which commences in the
Hood River valley on the 17th. They
got the promise of all the Indians to be
had on the reservation about two hun
dred and fifty. Mr. PtirEer thinks that
nearly 2000 pickere will be requited for
thia year's crop, which is now assured
and which will be by far the largest ever
raised in the valley. The Warm Spring
Indians are esteemed the best all-round
pickers that are to be found. They
have their own peculiar sport and
dances, but they never get drunk, never
quarrel among themselves, never make
any disturbance, are strictly I onest and
faithful and aro alway ready for work
at the early call of morning. Mr. Pur
ser has thiiteen acres of strawberries
and will require sixty pickers for him
self. The Davids;n Fruit Company
have thirty acres and will requiro 100
pickers. Ten pickers from the Warm
Spring8 will commence work at Joo
Moreton'e place on the Columbia river
in two or three days. The bcrriea on
the river ripen ten daya earlier than on
the higher lands of the valley.
Where Joo Mod; Mood.
Iii accordance with hiaappointment
for that purpose by the Oregon Historical
Society, Governor GeeiMvas billed to go
to Butteville today and locate tho exact
spot where Joo Meex stood when, in a
mass meeting of aettlers, he called for
a division of the settlers upon the
question of a'provlslonal government.
F. X. Mattheu is tho only person living
who was present at that meeting, and
he will locate the exact spot where the
event occurred. George II. Hlnes, sec
retary of tho Oregon Historical Society,
and F. H. Savior, grand secretary of the
j Native Sons of Oregon, will also be
i present. Tho spot designated by Mr.
I Matthieu will bo marked temporarily
with a stone and will later bo marked
! with an appropriate monument.
The meeting referred to took place on
May 2, 1843, exact years ago today.
By tho division o(l!ed for by Meek, a
vote of 52 to 60vu8 secured in favor of
the formationA)f a civil government in
