A Perfect Baking Powder.
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.

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. We
are gathered here in a spot which
is historical. Ibis mountain has
ceil fixed in the atlection and
reverent memory of all our people,
and has been glorified by the de
cease on us summit 01 uenerai
l lvtses S. Grant. Applause. 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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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. "Come, come, old man,"
said the editor in a mild expostula
torv tone, "vou muen't talk in
that way aboat my pet. He is
harmless and is one ot the most
intelligent animals I ever knew.
He ouce saved this house from
burglary."
"Did eh?"
"Yes, sir; he did. And perhaps
he saved my family and me from
being uiurdored, too."
"Indeed! How do you figure
that out?"
"Well, burglars broke in
here one night when we were
all gound asleep, and what do you
think that rattler of mine did?"
'Bit one of them?"
"So."
"Scared them so badly that they
left?"
"No."
"What then?"
"Why, he just climbed up to
the window-sill there, raised the
window, stuck out hia tail, and
rattled so hard that he called the
policeman from the next corner
and the intruders fled. Oh, he's
a very intelligent animal very."
