The constantly growing demand for Dr. Trice's Cream Baking Powder, the standard cream tartar powder for forty years, is due to two causes. FIRST: The extreme care exercised by the manu facturers to make it perfectly pure, uniform in quality, and of highest raising power. SECOND: The recent investigations exposing the fact that certain other brands of baking powder contain ammonia and still others that were found to contain alum. These unscrupulous manufacturers are being found out, and the consumer:: arj giving them a wide birth. Nothing is left to chance in the manufacture of Dr. Price's Cream Iiaking Powder. Chemists are employed to test every ingredient as to purity and strength. Hence; its marvelous purity and uniformity. Each can is like every other. It never dissapoints. BEST is ALWAYS the CHEAPEST. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia, Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the purity of this ideal powder has never been questioned.

M'GREGOR President Harriscn Spends His Birthday There. rLKAHtM KECEPTION GIVEN. A Qqlet Dinner Party-Th Beoretary f th Treiinry Depirtmeat Comes fur Cooisali Moi'st McGrkoor, N. Y., Aug. 2UrPresident Harrison's trip up the mountain-wa8"Mlthoot iaai di'iit. The station at Mount Mc (iregor was decorated and all the guests of the hotel were gathered there. They cheered loudly as the president left the train and started up the hill toward the (irant cot tage. He mounted the verandah to give everyone a good chance to see him, and after the crowd had given three cheers he went en to the cottage of Mr. Arkell, which is just l.ehind the hotel. The presi dent remained in the seclusion of Mr. Arkell's cottage, w here only a f 'w intiinuta friends of the Arkell family were presented to him. The event of the afternoon was a birthday dinner given to the presi dent by Senator Arkell in the din ing room of the hotel. About ninety fat down at the table. When the collee was served Sen ator Arkell, who presided over the feast, aro?e, and calling the assem blage to order, said : "The presi dent of the Unite 1 Sta'es. who is our guest to-day, on account of the .Lore condition of his throat, as sures us that this i j to be a Quaker meeting, one of unspoken elo quence. Let me say, however, 1 ins being the 5Sth birthday of the president, we can properly extend to him on this informal gathering ol neighbors and friends the heartiest and most sincere wishes of the commemoration of this an niversary. " President Harrison arose, and uuid great cheering began : "Mr. Arkell and friends : It was a part of the covenant of thi9 feast that it houlu be a silent one, not exactly a Quaker meeting, as Mr. Arkell said, liecause silence there is ant to be broken by the moving of the spirit. That is not a cafe rule for 1 banquet. 1 rise only to thank VeiU. 1 rise ony 10 inana our g'.-nerous host and these good men trom unierent parts 01 tne state who honor this occasion, for their friendliness and their esteem.

It was lit that that great spirit, that had already lifted its fame to a height unknown in American his tory and the affection of the people, should take its flight from this mountain top. It has been Raid a great life went out here ; but great lives like tnat 01 uenerai brant uo not go out they go on. Cries of "(J00J, good!" 1 will ask you in reverent, airectionate and patriotic remembrance of that man.todrirk a toast in silence as a pledge that will eve: keep in mind the- great services, and, in doing 60, i i perpetuate his strong friendetm and the glory of the nation 1.. fought to Bave." 1 At the conclusion of the presi dent's remarks he left the tabic and returned to the Arkell cottage, where ho remained throughout the early evening. At night he came over to the hotel, where he held an informal reception. Hon. John W.Foster came to Mount McGregor last night on a special train to hold a consultation with the president. His business here is to consult with the presi dent about the interpretation of a disputed clause in the Spanish re ciprocity treaty which goes into elicit September 1. Mr. Foster telegraphed the president in the afternoon, making the appoint ment. Private Secretary Halford went to Saratoga to meet him, and they came here on a sjiecial train, a-riving at J:40. He will remain until this morning. President Harrison and party went this morning on a fishing ex cursion. No Npecial Senalon. The Salem Statesman is author ity for the statement that the rad ical 1 companies have an idea that Governor Pennoyer will come to their rccue in the matter of re duced railroad rates bv calling a special session of the legislature. Kven should the legislature meet, about the only relief the railroads could expect to lind would be the passage of a maximum freight rate which, very likely, would be lower even than the rate recommended and adopted by the board. But there will be no special session. Governor Pennoyer says he sees no reason for calling it. He has twice given his opinions on the railroad rate question to the legis lature and he believes in letting the commissioners and the rail roads and courts settle it among themselves. A Notd HiB Ia DlipiU, A Virginia, Nevada, dispatch says that the Monarch mining lo cation, in the Devil's Gate and Chinatown districts, recently pur chased by F. A. Bierke, one of the owners in the West mine, was tak en possession of by men employed by J. C. Dazet, who disputes the the title to the mine. There is a tunnel connected with it, the door to which was forced by order of Bierke, who gave two miners the privilege of working another loca tion through the tunnel. When the miners were about to enter the tunnel this morning Da.et's men informed them that they had pos session and intended to held it, by force if necessary. Bierke will en ter a suit in enjectment in the District Court to settle the title to the property. The Monarch is a relocation of the Monarch and Mary Ann mining claims, south of the Occidental, and is consider ed valuable projer:y. The bound ary lines cover territory in both ritorp'.ftnd sLyaa counties. Du.et claims that he purchased -' the Mary Ann from the relocators, who named it Pride of the West and say they are leady to prove that no annual work had been done on the ground for three years prior to their posting the notice of relocation. The diluted ground is not patented. HEWS OF THE C0A3T. loUreating I'.ins from Uictungut Tbronghoat the Njr.bw.ot.

Editor Sutherland Drowned. Thomas A. Sutherland, editor and proprietor of the Sunday Wel come, of Portland, was drowned at the foot of Stark street Thursday evening. He had been in the city during the afternoon and was on his way to his luine, Fast Portland. He usually traveled on the Albina ferryboat Cyclone, which lands at the foot of Stark street, but it was notat the wharf when lie was on his way home and he decided to cross on the Stark-street ferry. Mr. Sutherland and a stranger were in the rear, and were about sixty feet irom the end of the land ing when the gates were closed and the collector gave the signal to start. Both Hpuited and the sl ranger made a long jump und landed on the apron of the ferry. Mr. Sutherland being very short and heavy could not run so fast as iIih Btr.ini'pr. Neither could he jump. He realized the danger he was m and made a strong eitort to stop, but the pace down the en cline had been too rapid and ha was unable to check himself. When near the edge of the pontoon he stumbled and fell, and a second later was strugling in the seeth ing water. He was drowned be for help coula reach him. His body was quickly rescued, but too late to save his life. He was an editor well known to the Pacific coast, and wa the lost white child born in California. He was 41 years old. Ice Caves of Oregon. The ice caves which are seen near Trout lake are well worthy of investigation by scientists, lhey are on a level prairie and after being entered widen out into most capacious chambers, with the most beautiful stalactites forming the ceiling. Prof. Condon, in one of his lectures in The Dalles, ad vocated the theory that these caves were former channels through which flowed molten lava from the active volcano of Mt. Adams, and, the mountain becom ing inactive, these holes formed cavities through which passed cool breezes from the snow fields of Mt. Adam 9.

How the Work Was Hone by the Highwaymen. The Dali.ks, Aug. 21. Word was brought in about noon yester tlty that the stage leaving here early yesterday morning for Bake l ven was held" up by masked rob- beis at a itoint on the graue near Sheiar's bridge, in this county, about three miles east of the bridge. The grade on the east side of the Deschutes river is about live miles in length, and at the pjint of attack a brushy ravine crosses it, atTordirg con cealment fur the robbers, who must have escaped over the steep blull-i by means of this ravine. Mr. Leni Burgess, who passed the spot only a few minutes after the attack, coming to this city, saw nothing of the men. The drive, savs he saw but one, who, cover ing him with a Winchester ritle, ordeied him to deliver the mail sacks. His horses bee lining un manageable, he could give no very e'ear description of the man with the Winchester, but says that he wore overalls and had on a wide' brim white hat, his face being concealed by a ll jur sack, with eye-holes cut out, drawn over his head and shoulders, there must, however, have been another, probably acting as scout, the road here being much traveled. As soon as the driver, C. Adams, could get b.ick to Sherar's Bridge station two Indians were sent out to find the trail. They found one mask and Mr. Burgess another near the ravine. There were no passengers aboard and nothing was taken but the mail sacks, two of which, rifled of their letters, were found near, and the third bad not been found at latest accounts. The country near the scene of the robbery is very rough, wild and thinly settled by stockmen. Ranches few and far between, and with the start gained by the rob bers, their capture is doubtful. The read, however, is the main thoroughfare for a large travel, Sherar's bridge being the only crossing on the Deschutes river for many miles. On this account the robbery seems a very bold one. wrrrken Capture a Veiael. Key West, Fla., Aug. 21. Word has been received here that as soon as the revenue cutter Mc Laue left the wrecked steamer Kldorado, ashore off Bimini, the Bahama wreckers, who claimed a right to ttie salvage of the ship, made an attack on her, and as they largely outnumbered the Americans, they had no difficulty in securing possession of her. Word of the action of the wreckers was at once telegraphed to the secretary of the treasury, and tele graphic orders were quickly re ceived for the McLane to proceed again to the scene of the wreck, and protect .merican interests. She left at once. Struck by Lightning. Oceansidk, Cal., Aug. 21. Jim, Dick and Nemos Kolb, two broth ers and a cousin, while driving back of Temecula last evening, were struck by lightning, leaving all three unconscious for several hours. When they finally re gained their senses they found that two of their mules had been killed by the same agency. The same boys had a similar narrowest-ape only a short time ago. It It Permanent, From San Deigo, California, comes the information that a pro spector, Frank McDonald, has just returned to that city from a trip to the desert in search of minerals. He started from San Diego about three weeks ago, and crossing the mountains from this side defended into the desert on the boarders ef the Sal ton sea. White 1 caniD near the edge of the lakf two men came in who had t&veled down the Colorado river Jfor a long distance and follond the stream of water from therfver which forms the lake. The reported that two or three miles from the junction of the Kw river and the Colorado a large sandbar was formed clear across the latter river below where it has cut through its banks, and, as the bar is generally growing larger, unless it is cut through, allowing the Colorado to resume its old course a permanent flow will be maintained into the desert. Mc Donald reports that the lake ia still rising, although slowly, owing to the extensive area it now covers. ' LMKlic Ut Maurtferar. - ' ' "A '"" Vi.S . I n . .1 A.I l..t t a il.

A number of children had taken shelter from j the storm unler the tree, and i three of them were killed outright while several others were hurt, five of them seriously. AUoed Snake Story. Among the commercial travelers who sell goods on the road for San Francisco wholesale bouses is a genius named Ben Hepth. He ia rated as one of the most accom plished liars on the coast. Re cently he told the following yarn, which should be saiteu oeiore ai attempt is made to swallow it although its author is willing to vouch for its entire truthfulness by allidavit if desired. v "There is a newspaper mn down at Porterville, Cal.," said he, ''who has a pet rattlesnake which he permits to roam about at will about the sanctum. Of course the reptile's fangs have been drawn and it is entirley harmless, al though it ia a rather startling pet to meet unexpectedly. 1 ran into the ollice to see the editor the other day' and the snake nearly scared me to death for a minute. As soon as 1 could articulate distinctly I expressed my views on the subject of - snakes in general and rattlesnakes in particular, and I guess I did it in rather forcible terms.
