Police court is dull these days. Auction sale of standaid works Saturday. Mr. Phillips' soda factory is fast ap proaching completion. Another arrest was made yesterday for selling liquor to Indians. Mr. J. B. Croesen will sell a large lot of cigars, tobacco and clothing next Saturday. Several of our citizens during the past week nave visited the exposition in Port land. The steam laundry is now firmly estab lished, and a new factor of development has been added to the city. The new depot bnilding is progressing nicely, and we believe it will be as substan tial as any erected in the city. The cow ordinance is what very many people desired; but there are a discontented lew who are constantly growling. Prof. A. C. Connelly, superintendent of common schools, left on the midnight train to visit the exposition in Portland. Work at the shops continue quite brisk. Several of the new engines have been thor oughly overhauled and suited to the gauge of this road. Rev. W. G. Simpson, who is convalescing from a severe attack of typhoid fever, is not able to be around, bnt his recovery is well assured. Preparations are being made to erect sev eral brick buildings in the spring; but the lateness of the season will preclude much more work this fall. The Inland Globe has made its appearance, from the job office of Campbell Bros. It is a neatly printed three-column paper, and sells for one cent. Mr. J. J. Eoff is sole proprietor of the Eureka restaurant, and aims to furnish guests the best in the market. Oysters in every style in season. The exhibit of JFasco county at the ex position in Portland is the finest of any in the state. Ihe apples and other fruits are a matter of astonishment to all visitors. BrickmasODS are busily at work on the buildings on the north side of Second street, preparing for plate-glass fronts. This will be a great improvement to this block. Thompson's addition is the prettiest build ing site in the city. With good water, pure air and prolific soil it will be the resi dence portion of The Dalles in a few years. Notwithstanding the drouth this season the marriage market has been. very brisk in this city, and scarcely a day passes without some couple being joined in the bonds of holy wedlock. So mote it be. Luring our short sojourn in Astoria last week we received several courtesies from Mr. J. F. Halloran, of the Astorian, Mes.-rs. Ireland and Bowen of the Pioneer and Messrs. Dunbar and Snyder of the Tran script, for which they will accept our thanks. Malhenr Gasette: The Pacific Live Stock company started three herds of horses to Marysville, Cal., last week. There were 1000 horses in each herd and 1000 were started every other day. This week they were to start 300 bead of work horses for the same place.. Every American citizen can only feel proud of his country when he realizes the flct that the greatest aid is given to all sci entific investigation, and that ships like the Albatross are fitted up for the especial pur pose of plowing the ocean bed. The members of the grand lodge, K. of P., at Astoria, were royally entertained by the resident Knights. J. bey succeeded in iying visitors a chivalnc welcome to their ouriahing city, and no member in the 'large delegation left without the kindest feelings toward Astoria and Astorians. Rev. William Morrison, who married two couples before 10,000 people at the Portland exposition last Wednescay evening, has sent the association a bill for $30. "You may think my bill extravagant" be wrote, "but you cannot expect a minister of God to make a holy show of himself for nothing." Astorian: The railway track through the swamp near Skipanon is about half laid. The tracklayers are out of rails this morn ing. The intention is to lay the rails the entire distance to the ocevn this season, but delay in delivering the material retards the work. More rails are expected on a barge or something to-day or to-morrow. Astorian: Last Sunday afternoon while Otto, the eldest son of J. R. Hall, was rid ing a horse in Ilwaco, it suddenly reared np and threw the young man over its head. He was pipked np in an insensible condition, and iound to have suffered a severe concus sion of the brain, and when the Canity left yesterday be was still unconscious. The human form divine has been the study of artists through all ages; but when a person attempts to improve the contour of the masculine gender by means of corsage and stays we believe he is not working for the benefit of all. For furtbrr particulars inquire of the auctioneer or the man to whom he sold the modern aODliiuces. . it jo uot generally Known that "Dick" .Nolan is a "mighty hunter." But ysster day, with his own little guc, he hunted the feastive duck and goose, and returned from the sloughs near the river laden with three specimens of the latter species. They were dead and "Dick" killed them. It is diffi cult to determine from his version of the encounter whether there were only two geese, of which he killed three, firing only one shot, or three geese of which he killed two, firing tiye shots. The negro Gibbs, who shot the McDav itts, it has been definitely ascertained was en route to The Dalles until warned that the officei s at this point were on the lookout for him, when he turned back. It is be lieved this murderous villain has confeder ate in members of bis race in different towns, and that the colored employes on the Pullman cars are rendering him aid in every possible way. It is believed he is hiding somewhere in the woods between this city and the Cascades. Democrat: From a privatej letter received in this city yesterday from a party in Hunt ington we learn that on Friday, October 4, about noon, between PocateUo and Mont pelier, an extra baggage car on the O. S. L. caught fire and was totally destroyed with its contents. There were about 50 pieces of baggage on the car. A good many of the losers by the fire stopped off at Huntington and all losses were promptly settled by the superintendent at that place. The sum of $4800 was paid out by the railroad com pany to the losers. Oregon's fame as an apple growing region is spreading far and wide. Saturday, says the Salem Statesman, a gentleman here re ceived orders from Colorado Springs, Col orado, for a car load of Oregon apples. The Colorado man offered such prices that the shipper can afford to pay $1 per bushel for apples delivered on the cars in bulk. This certainly offers much to producers here, for by a little care the orchards will yield abundantly each year. Apple growing has been neglected to a great degree and no effort has been made to kill the insects. But a change is not far ahead and hereafter Oregon orchads will be given the attention they deserve. The jetties at the the mouth of the Col ombia, which we visited last Wednesday, accompanied by Dr. Tuttle and Mr. Griffin, of Astoria, Messrs. Hockstetter of Albany, Borg of Portlahd, C L. Phillips of this city and a gentleman of Heppner, were found to be progressing equal to expection. These consist of piles driven out on the ocean for distance of two and a half miles. On these a narrow gauge railroad runs for the purpose of transporting ties and other ma terial, and visitors are accommodated who desire to examine the work. The spaces between the piles will be filled with rock and brush, and these, with the drifting sand, will form a solid embankment. The j :tty as far as completed, has definitely fixed the channel of the river, and changed the current to the center of the stream. Major Haudbury, as at the Locks, is doing good and substantial work, and the people ha all confidence in, his honesty and abil ity. We were privileged, through the court sy of Dr. Estes of Astoria, to pay a visit to the Albatrosss the U. S. steamer engaged in deep sea soundings and gathering icthyolc gi. fitX specimens. The captain was one of those Jollv eld tars who seettbi to fallow no OMier creed than in making Visiters, wel come. V e were shown the dinerem scien- title apparatus employed in getting the torn peroture of the water at great depths, and also several line specimen of sea plants. mo'.lusks, sun fish and different species of the inhabitants of the plains and valleys over which old ocean ceaselessly rolls. One j interested in natural history could spend days on the Albatross and never tire of in vestigating the wonders of the sounding sea. Ibe steamer is accompanied by com petent experts from the Smithsonian insti tute at Washington City, who correctly classifies all specimens procured, and ap pears always willing to give any lutorma tion in relation thereto. The ship stopped in Astoria a day or so and then proceeded to sea. From Thursday'- Daily. One by one tho roses fall. Heppner is to have a new brick hotel. The river is lower than eer remembered before. Hon. J. B. Condon came np on last night's train. A very dangerous throat disease is pre vailing in Heppner.

X. Jjaldwiin and child returned last night from a visit to the ex position in Portland. At the earnest request of many citizens we call the attention of our street commis sioner to the condition of our streets and alleys. These should be thoroughly cleaned belore the winter sets in. Mr. C. McFariand, who has been absent from the city for several months past, re turned yesterday, lie is agreeably surprised at the substantial improvements the city has made during his absence. A company has been formed in Pendleton for the publication of a daily paper. Repub lican in politics. The plant of the Tribune has been purchased, and the first number of the new paper will be issued .Nov. 18th. Mesdames C. E. Morgan, B. Robinson, Wm. Shackleford, J. Smith and Misses Flora Mulligan, Ursula Ruch and Nettie Michell lett on the afternoon train to-day on a visit to the exposition in Portland. In one neighborhood in Dakota recently there were only two lucife r matches to go around among twelve families, and persona were detailed to build fires and keep them alive night and day until a supply could be had. Next Sabbath, at the Congregational Sunday school, appropriate anniversary exercises will be held. It is thirty years since the school was organized, and a cor dial invitation is extended to all old members to be preasut. W. W. Journal: On Thursday last while George, oldest sou of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Goldsmith who live near Uniontown, was driving a cow he was thrown from his rid ing horse and received such injuries about the spine that he died on Friday from the effects. Journal: John Frawby, the yard man, who had both of his legs crushed last Mon day is cow at St. Mary's hospital, suffering intensely. Dra. aliaw and x . U.

Baker Democrat: Information wanted of one William Sheets, who left Independence, Kansas, nine years ago in company with a man named Coldwell. Any one knowing his whereabouts will pltase kindly inform his anxious mother, Mrs. Isabella Sheets, Naples, Scott county, Illinois. Baker City Heveitte: We are informed that another person is lying dangerously ill in this city under the fostering case of the Christian Science cranks. By the time a few more deaths occur from this source, people will learn to avail themselves of the services of a physician in case of sickness;' The McMinnville creamery is now run ning right along, making 100 pounds of but ter per day. The first batch was sent to Portland without a brand, aud ,tlie consig nee wrote back to brand eyery pound of it as there was nothing in Portland to excel it. Twenty cents per gauge is now being paid for the cream. W. ir. Union:, Geo. Parker, the young convict taken from the penitentiary here to Seattle on a writ of habeas corpus ad testifi candum, has been pardoued by Gov. Moore, as a reward for his sti aight forward testi mony in the case of his partner in crime. The pardon was issued upon the petition of the Seattle court officers. W. W. Union: G. W. Hunt, returned Sunday evening from an inspection of the Waitsburg and Dayton extension, of the O. & VV'.T. He reports the grade to be fioished within four and a half miles of Dayton, which place the graders will reach the latter part of this week.

Astoria Pioneer: There are now three surveying parties at work on the railroad under chief Engineer Habersham, east ward from Seaside junction. One of the parties ai e with the construction gang. A party was set at wori at Hilliboro Mon day. Astorian: Yesterdiy evening while driv i g piles for the bridge of the A. & S. V. li, the chain slipped down, a pile riking a man and ktccking him off die ins onto the scows, severely spraining his as nhntjldcr Bisd injUWnft liiitt bbniit . the head. He was brought to towu and CiSed up, and will be well in a day or two. Mr. Hugh Uourlay, of Kidgsley, ia go ing into the lioir business, and purchased to-day from Mr. W. H. Uutts V3 head of fine Berkshire;;. It is uot definitely known but it is somewhat conjectured that the next movement will be a pork-packing establishment, nnd that hams and bacon, with Gourlay's brand, will be supplanting the eastern product iu this market. Mr. C. W. Jones, formerly in the em ploy of Mr. Morrison in the Cosmopolitan hotel in this city, died at the hospital in Astoria last night. He bad been pick for a long time with a very violent attack of typhoid lever. He was aged about 3.i years, aud we believe has parents residing in uonueclicut. UI a social, agreeable temper, he made trier, us wherever lie re sided. Pioneer: The life-saving station at Fort Stevens is progressing very nicely aud Mr. iicaaington has the building auout com pleted save putting on the interior finish ing, some of me windows for lue ooat house are rather odd looking, being feet high by 4J feet wide. The windows in the house average about 4x5 feet. Holt & Co. have just finished making sugar pine doors and window blinds. Eugene EenUter: A couple of weeks ago we mentioned in these col urns that a de tective from Portland had been in the city looking lor a tlieif who had stolen Dr. Giesy's horse and buggy from Portland. He succeeded in capturing him last week at Kecltling, California, haying followed him to that place. On his way through the country the thiet also stole a horse from Mr. liawlcy, who resides near Cres- well, and that, too, was recovered. Teller: Win. Caldwell received news this week from his stock ranch which is about 25 miles south of here on Snake river, that upwards of 130 of his finest horses were missing and could not be fouud and are supposed to have been stolen and driven out of the country. He has ottered a reward of 750 for the re covery of the horses and thieves. Stock men both here and on Salmon aud Snake rivers should use every possible means to ascertain who the guilty parties are and bring them to justice. From a gentleman who arrived from Portland it is learned that Gibbs, the col ored porter, who shot McDcvitt and his son, at Portland, lias been captured at The Dalles. The police authorities of Port land arc keeping the arrest quiet in order to avoid a process from Judge Lynch's court. Lynching is too good for such men. Astoria Transcript. This is a mis take. Our officers have been on the look out for Gibbs; but solar have been un able to catch him. In fact, it is very ap parent the culprit has never reached this city. Statesman: That the Willamette valley is admirably adapted to the cultivation of tobaco many successful . experiments nrove, and the value of the product has frequently been pointed out by well quali fied persons. The consumption of lobao to in this ferlile vallev requires the im portation of large quantities of the weed and the substitution, as far as possible, of the home grown leaf will lessen the ex pense of smokers, and add materially to the income of the soil tillers. Several fine specimens of tobacco grown in this valley have been exhibited in Salem with in the past lew weeks. East Oregonian: Mr. Walter Hudson, a commercial traveler got on the train at Baker Cily last night and failing to se cure a berth iu the 'Pullman sleeper, he purchased the right tone down in a.bunk in the emigrant sleeper, lhis morning he awoke and found himself short $100 or more in cash. Upon the arrival of the train in the Pendleton depot, the theft was reported to Sheriff llouser and he made the arrest of a man by the name of J. Corley, a gambler. He was taken to the sheriff's office and searched, but nothing was found to furnish evidence that he committed the deed, so he wa3 released from custody. Jlr. Hudson is in the city to-day, but he can furnish no further clew to the theft. It is probable that the deed was committed by an experienced thief who passed through the car with an eye to business. If the night of the 2Sth of this month happens to be one of those clear aud cold October nights which Oregou is frequent ly blessed with, slat" gazers who keep their eyes open will witness a vision of rare beauty, the new moon tor this month will adpear on the 24th instant, and make her first quartet ou the 31st. On the 2th there will be a conjuclion with Jupiter, and the New York Times of the 61 h iust., in its article on "The Plan ets of October," says that the conjunction is extremely close and the picture of the star and crescent will be one of rare beauty. The conjunction for the rest of this month will be with Neptune on the l'Jth, Mars on the 21st, with Venus on the X2nil, and on the 23rd with Mercury. The watchers of the skies, providing the weather is clear, cau enjoy these celestial phenomena free of charge. If they haye no telescopes, powerful field, or what is better, night glasses, will aid them great ly in iheir observations. Eugene Begisxer: The following account of the drowning accident in the Siuslaw river is furnished us by special corre spondence: A sad accident occurred about a mile above Acme at daylight last Wednesday morning resulting in the drowning of Alfred Liodgrecn, a native of Norway and about 25 years of age. Liindgreen and jfout. cooper were in a fish boat sailing up river and Liudgrccn, who was sitting on a pile of netting in the stern of the boat steering, was struck on the head by theboom as the sail jibbed over to the other side and knocked over board, He came to the surface but once saying to his partner "I am going down," and before Cooper could rescue the drowning man he sank out of sight. Mr. Liindgreen was married about two months ago to Miss Laura Young and they have since been residing at Acme. The young widow is almost prostrate with grief over the untimely loss of her husband. Mr. Lindgrccn has relatives at Astoria. The body has not yet been recovered. School iSaoks. San Fbakcisco, Oct. 9, 1SS0. Hon. A. C. Connelly, Tus Dalles, Or., Deak Sib: Please call the attention of your people, through the newspapers or otherwise, to the fact that the exchange cf readers closes on the evening of Oct. 31st.

Probably Fatally Injured. LaGrande Gazette. Edgar Guilds, a twelve-year-old Echo boy, was the victim of a horrible aud per haps fatal accident near Vinson Saturday morning. He was riding with a party of horsemen to the mountains after stock wheu a pack horse ran up behind the animal he was rid ing and frightened it. In its plunging and jumping the poor boy was thrown and his foot caught iu the stirrup. His horse then started off at a headlong pace, and before it could be stopped Edgar was dragged nearly a hundred yards over the rough, rock strewn grouud. He was bleeding and un conscious from wounds on bi head and face when picked up and carried to the nearest house. Dr. Shields, ot Pilot Rock, was summoned and dii all he could for the little sufferer; but the uutortnnate boy's recovery is considered almost impossible, as his skull is fractured and he has sustained other seri ous injuries.

I4sp5 AMTftMJAi tlt4 ferBpOti Of Orcgoa gtteiilj of lftt pfoTeHieut kn( cf Profiting by the Advantages rVMrh Mature has Placed Wfililu its Ciragp. There is no more historical spot in Ore gon than Astoria. Named after Astor, who, in 1810, established a trading station at this point, and brought into prominence by Washington Irying's celebrated work, "Astoria." it has been known to the read ing public for many decades. When the Columbia river became known as the great commercial highway of the west, this boint at the mouth of the stream was considered cf the utmost Hmpcrtance. It was the natural seaport of the new empire, and as such attracted the attention of the Hudson Bay and other commercial companies which were battling for the trade of this portion of the country. It is many years ago since we landed at its wharf on an ocean steamer, and first beheld Oregon, with all its prom ises of agricultural and mineral wealth. Situated as it is at the mouth of the great river, with anchorage for the fleets of empire, we were assured of its future great ness, and haye seen no occasion to change this opinion. With the shipping of the Columbia river under the control of Port land capitalists, and no connection with the interior except by means of the Columbia riyer it is not at all surprising that Astoria has not developed her resources or displayed enterprise commensurate with her advan tages. But a new era has dawned for this, the seaport of Oregon, and we firmly believe that in the next decade more advancement will be made than iu all the years since the establishment of the place. Tho great fac tor of growth, the railroad, has been called into requisition, and already real estate has advanced, and new life appears to be infused into the community. The terminus of the proposed road will be near Albany, and this will connect the rich Willamette valley with Astoria. It is not reasonable to be lieve that, after railroad connection is made with the interior, producers will send their grain by any tortuous route to sea' board when they can chip direct. Further than this, in many instance, large sea-going ships are forced to be loaded at Astoria by means of barges, and this plan will not be pursued when the iron-horse brings the producers ot Eastern, Western and Southern Oregon in close communica tion witn ocean tramc. it will be only a few years before this railroad will be com pitted, and then we expect to see a revolu tion iu trade centers in Oregon. Astoria has waited long and patiently for her rights to be acknowledged, and the time is at hand when she will rise or fall by her own merits, There are very many evidences of thrift and enterprise in Astoria, aud the present era is one of substantial progress. New building have been erected in many places, and three live, daily papers Astorian, Pio neer and Transcript well supported by the business men, are infusing life and activity into all business industries. These are the criteria by which the growth and prosperity of any city can bo judged, and when news papers maintain a sickly existence, the city is doomed and the handwriting on the wall can be easily discerned. Another project that will help Aaioria in her development is an open river, ar.d she has equal interest with the inland empire in the construction of the locks at the Cascades. With ob structions to navigation in this great river removed, the wheat output of the inland empire would seek tide-water at the wharves cf this city. The citizens understand this, and are in sympathy with any movement which The Dalles may undertake to utilize the river as a channel of commerce. They are anxious to see all improvements in the riyer pushed to aa early completion, knowing that they will eventually solve the freight problem in their favor. Astoria is the Venice of the northwest. It is built in the river on piling, and docks can be constructed almost around the city. Travel is not done by vehicles, but by boats, and these can be seen on the bay coursing in every direction. One runs to Ft. Can by, another to the jetty and Ft. Stevens, still another to Ilwaco and Skipa non. Astoria needs no roads. The river is her highway, and this will always be util ized lor commerce and pleasure. Iu a few years we expect to see wharves along the whole shore line of the peninsula, where any deep-sea going vessel can load or un load her cargo. There is no doubt that the future of this city by the sounding sea is bright, and her growth and prosperity are almost un limited. Her salmon exports now reach about 2,500,000 annually, and a brisk trade is carried on in lumber to every part of the coast. The Cutting Co. has a brunch establishment here, and other industries may be expected as soon as the commercial facilities are fully developed. Astoria now boasts of TOCO population; but this -will double in the next two or three years, and the seaport of Oregon will be the second city in the state. Kotcs from Abroad . Stockholm, Oct. 9, 18S9. Editor Times-Mouxtai.vker: In a recent letter from the pen of "Re porter" he remarks "it is said that Supt. Reed is trying to force men to board in the mess house. I do not believe it." There is no room for doubt. Talk with the work men here for balf an hour, and you will ob tain ample proof that my assertions are not without foundation. It is a well known fact that our boss laborer has a preference for Russian Fins, and so forth, because, as has been written before, tbey being so un sophisticated are the more easily run in. It is the current report here that he receives so much for eyery one, end in face of tho interest he takes in the matter, we cannot but belieye that there is more truth than fiction in the statement. I can produce proof that he told a certain Swede that he would have to quit keeping boarders, or he would be dismissed from the works. He also approached another, an American, but not in such a forcible manner. He said. "I cannot make you board at the mess house, but it will be better for you if you do so." Now, I will leave you to draw your own conclusion as to what was implied by the latter half of the remark. The fellow referred to in "Granite's" let ter as having to send his child home, and being forced to go into the mess house, has been making quite a bluster, vowing he would write to you about it. The story is true, however, because be told bis trouble to me at the time, and 1 borrowed money for him to go home on. The only trouble is that "Granite" did not giye the story in all its details. Twice he had his family here and twice he sent them to the homestead, keeping the little girl here. The final in terview came one day. Capt. Young took him to the further end of the blacksmith shop, where he plead to keep the child with him. But the captain replied, he would rather let him go than break the rules. Break what rules I would like to know? Did the U. S. government establish a rule that workmen employed on the locks must board at a certain house, run by one S. O. Hersey? Such a rule never had birth out side of the Cascade Locks, but was created by men placed in power by aocideut, the pubhc charity, or from the fact of their hav ing a pull, not for the brains or knowledge they possessed " We took a walk over the works, and among other things we saw was a caisson so called, stone was cut, a bole was dug, a foundation of fine cut stone was laid, bar rels of cement, at $5 per barrel was used, and the whole was condemned. Thirty-two thousand dollars sunk in the arrangement, and now they are letting the earth cave in upon it. Aa the bees ot the stone yard re marked to a prominent citizen the other day, "they are ashamed of the d d thing, and are letting it cave iu to hide their work." I imagine he hit the truthahont as near that time as he ever did in his life be fore. - About three years ago after they had completed the plans for the gates they were confronted with the idea that when the water rushed in it would cause the boat to tip up on one end. Thev then endeavored to contrive a machine which they thought would cause the water to run the entire length of the lock thus raising the boat level as the lock filled. Said machine is now back of the canal in the woods where it can be seen any day. Ignorant of a fact known to any average school child of twelve years of age, viz: water will seek its own level. There is a law stating that eight hours shall be co isideted a day on government works, HoWWcll thi law U observed. Last winter the wdtUuiorl wouid go down into the canal groping their way in the dark and stumbling over rocks and other debris in the endeavor to reach their desti nation. There they would have to stay stamping their feet to keep them from numbing with the cold, or worrying around in the drizzling ram until daylight came in. At night darkness came about five o'clock then would come another time of waiting. the workmen not even daring to take ad vantage of the light to put their tools away. All this time that embodiment of A or wegian ignorance would be hovering near fearful lest they should cheat the govern ment of a few minutes time wholly useless to it. This same Norway a year ago last sum mer drew his salary month after month at a time when tiiere was literally nothing to do. Un an average of every other day you would see him suDplied with hunting ac coutrements starting across the river cr in some other direction. That same tune our boss laborer drew his pay for watching a stableman tack a couple of boards on the fence at the upper end of the reservation once or twice a week. So you see boys what it is to have a pull. In Reporter a let ter he gives some of the bovs a pretty heavy deal. But the men in question are at least Americans and citizens and as such we do not begrudge them a soft snap if they have one. The Swedes and non-citizens have corralled all such long enough and the only reason that they have not gut a foreigner in the positions those boys now occupy is be cause they haven't and on hand capable of performing the work. Yours until next time. Veritas, II am U ton Wash barn e Xnptials. Grass Vallev, Oct. 15, 1SS9. Editor Tuies-Mqfxtaikeer: The marriage of Mr. George A. Hamilton and Miss Jessie C. Washburnn, of Portland, Or., took place at tho residence of the bride's parents, near Grass Valley, Oct. 10th, this date being also the twenty-ninth anniversary ot the parents ot the bride. About twenty-five persons were invited to witness the happy event. As the wedding cards announced that the ceremony would take place at nine o'clock in the evening the guests arrived at an early hour. The resi dence was beautifully illuminated, and the spacious parlors decorated with artistic skill. The company - was agreeably enter tained during the early part of the evening with recitations, vocal and instrumental music, when at 9 o'clock the happy conple. accompaied by parents and Rev, John Run yan, marched in to the sweet strains of the wedding march. After a short but very im pressiye ceremony followed by prayer they were presented as Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, Congratulations then followed, after which the dining loom was opened and a real wed ding feast spread before us, the tables laden with the choicest luxuries the season af fords. Ihe bride was becomingly attired in cream white satin and lace. The groom wore the conventional black suit. They departed for lrortland early rriday morning, where they will remain a short time and re turn to their home in Grass Valley. Mrs, Oeorge A. Hamilton, nee Wash- burne, is a young lady of rare accomplish ments, being also a good book-keeper, short hand and type-writer, and will be a valua ble acquisition to the society of Grass Val ley. Mr. George Hamilton, one of Wasco county's best young men, equally worthy of his young bride, is engaged in the mercan tile business in the firm of Scott & Hamil ton. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Scott. Mr. and Mrs. Booten, Mr. and Mrs. Clark, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. French, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Downing, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Holder, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Heath, Mr. and Mrs. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. J. French, Miss M. I. Cushman, Rev. John Runyan, Messrs. Elmer Heath, LeRoy French, Les ter Heath, Geo. Smeltzer, Dohl. An Observer. Always be a Mystery. W. W. Union. J. M. Hill and W. W. Baker, who re turned late Wednesday .night from a visit to the scene of the boiler explosion on Mon day, state that after an examination of the circumstances surrounding the accident, they believe that the cause is destined to always remain a mystery. After a careful examination of the torn boiler tbey could find no evidence of the metal having been burned. The crown sheet, which was fitted with a soft metal plug, to prevent accident should the water run low, was examined and the plug was found intact. The boiler and engine are reported to have been a to tal wreck. Mr. Hill has written to the brother and sister of Isaac Harding, the victim of the accident, at Darwin, Minn., detailing the manner of bis death. The body has been brought to the city and buried, and the coroner is expected here in a day or two to hold an inquest. A portion of Harding's head only could be found, that member having been badly shattered by the explosion. The men at the mill regard the accident as almost a stroke of providence, and relate the following story: On Suuday, Harding, in conversation, stated that on several occasions he had con templated suicide, stating that within the past five years he had run through $12,000 by driuking and fast living, aud closing with the remark : "I would be glad if Billy God were to take me out of the world where I am of no use to myself or anyone else." At the time of the accident the engineer was standing by the pony pump, which fed the boiler, while another man was on a lad der directly back aud above the boiler, both escaping with a bad scare and minor scratches. A Bloody Bull. Salem Journal. Sunday evening a young man known as John Calvin Sons, well known in this city, was severely gored by a bull, on the farm of Thos. Davidson, about one mile south of the depot. Sons has only been employ ed on the farm for the past two weeks. He was formerly employed at the Chemeketa hotel, and was a young man who was well liked. It seems that on yesterday eyening Mr. Davidson was .unwell and for the first time sent young Sons out to care for this furious beast, that has come near causing the death of three persons. Mr. Davidson warned him to use precaution aud to not get in the eame lot witb the "critter," but feous had not been gone but a short time until Mr. Davidson's little boy came running in and told bis father that the beast was after the hired man. Mr. Davidson went at once to the poor victim's rescue and soon beat the man-killing beast off. It was then dis covered'that Sons had received several very bad wounds, one in the lower part of the bowels, one over the shoulder and also two severe wounds near the base of the spinal column. Dr. J. N. Smith was immediately summonsed and dressed the wounds and this evening the young man is resting easy, yet is in a bad condition, although the doc tor does not consider them dangerous. This same animal has came near killing three diflerent persons, and this morning an end was put to his career by taking him out and killing him. Only about three weeks ago an accident similar to the above occurred at the same place. A Sad Accident. Salem Journal. Last eyening about 6:30 the eight year old child of G. W. Johnson's met with a dan gerous and painful accident. The little son was playing on the floor an.1 a sewing needle with a small piece of thread attached was lying on the floor and in moving around the nedle was thrust into the childs' knen. Drs. Richardson and Cusick were at once called and at first no trace of the needle could be found. The physicians were com pelled to administer chloroform to the little fellow and make a deep inclusion to the bone. The needle was found. It bad en tered with the head inward and had pene trated almost to the bone. The little fellow bore the operation with great fortitude and is resting quite easy to-day. The operation was a delecate one as the needle had entered the knee close to the kneecap and if an in cusion had' penetrated in the wrong direc tion the little boy would have beeu crippled for life. The doctors hope that no serious consequences will terminate from the acci dent. Bncklea s Aiiiiea Salve.

Cascade Locket Cascade Locks, Oct. 1G, 1S60. EiltTOR THIES'MoCSTAlNStHl The usual run of affairs are about the same as ever. The work on the locks is closing aown and times are getting dull. The last letter of V eritas created quite an excitement here. Ihe bosses on the government works dislike very much to hear the truth. By what can be learned one cannot blame them for covering facts as far as possible. I think there will.be a "new deal" here a f ter the next appropriation. If Uncle Sam cannot send us better bosses than those they have he better giye up the job. I do not blame the mess house so much as many do, as the contractor has to furnish the officers food free. One thing is certain, none of the bosses had any pro visions when they came to this place, and rumor says Hersey furnishes them gratis for fayors received, and the laborers pay the bill. It seems our government should have some honest men to take charge of their works. I want to ask a question, and that is, are foreigners who are not citizens allowed to work on government works? Two years ago, just before the closing down time, they went around and found out all who were citizens and discharged them. Now I hear they are doing the same thing again, while good American citizens have beeen refused work and Swedes and Norwegians, who have not been in the country ten days are employed. I hose who have families, and who do not board at the mess bouse, are the nrst to be discharged. I hear that one man who boarded at the mess house was dis charged. But I think this is a mistake, as 1 can get nothing definite about the matter, Y our correspondent saw a new Norwegian or Swede being led to the office by a coun tryman who could speak English, and I hear he got a job, although twenty or thirty citizens had been discharged the day before. It is reported the bosses get $4 or $5 per month for each Swede or Norwegian thus employed. If so it is something of an ob ject. I do not know that this is true, but eyery one here believes it. Dr. Candana has not gone to Norway. Messrs. A. G. Hall and Z. M. Day have returned from their visit east. Mr. A. O'Toole is as foxy as ever, and his good-natured smile would wm favor from the heart of any maiden. Old Doc. is still howling. Agent Clark is now shut off. J. A. Hamilton's team ran away to-day and threw him out ot the wagon, but for tunately he lit on a soft part of his body and sustained no injury. Mr. Cooper a horse a few days ago ran away with his boy, and threw him, result ing in a broken leg. Dr. Candana reduced the fracture, and the boy is doing well. Horn, to the wife of Mr. Henry, a ten pound boy, report says. The father is con valescing. Mrs. Day, who has been sick for some time, is recovering. I saw her on the street to-day. Reporter. A Reduced 1evy. Tue Dalles, Oct. 18, 1889. Editor Tives-Modstaineer: A good deal of discussion is being carried on about the results that would flow from the making of a ten mill levy by the next county court, instead of one sufficient to meet all the expenses of tbe county for the current tax year; and some have an idea that instead of the proposed measure work ing a benefit to those it is intended to re lieve, it would work the other way, be a benefit to the rich and those who are in no need, and that finally and in the long run the full proportion with interest of the in curred connty indebtedness would fall upon those who have suffered most from the drouth of the past season. A very simple illustration ought, 1 think, to place this matter in its true light. Suppose the case of a taxpayer, in the burnt out district, who, at the time the assessor called on him last summer, returned an indebtedness of say $aC0. With nothing whatever to sell from the proceeds of this year s crop it is safe to say, that the same person's indebted ness will be doubled the next time the as sessor calls on him. And this means less taxable property and, as a consequence, smaller taxes. And it is safe to say that the increased indebtedness consequent on this year's failure of crops, will wipe from the assessment roll many small taxpayers while it reduces the taxable property of every man who has suffered. Thus, iu the end, a small levy for this year will benefit the farmers while they have little or noth ing with which to pay taxes, and it will benefit them next year, when they can take advantage of the law that allows deduction of indebtedness. As a corollary, it is not denied that, the measure contemplated would throw a little of tbe burden on those who are best able to bear it; bnt if the rich and well-to-do are seeking channels for pra - tical benevolence, it seems to me there is an excellent opportunity afforded them of en couraging a measure that would cause tbe whole generation of farmers in blighted parts of this county to rise up and call them blessed. Hugh Gou&lay. A Boat Bailway at The Dalles. Oregon ian. Mr. Hollon Parker, of Walla Walla, who is in Ihe city, is just in receipt of a delayed letter from Senator Dolph, which was to have been read at the recent water way convention. Speaking ot govern ment improvement the senator says: I called yesterday at the office of the chief of engineers to learn, if possible, if the report of the commission, appointed under the provisions of the last river and harbor bill to examine The Dalles rapids and report a plan of improvement, hud been made. 1 learned that the commis sion had returned from Europe after ex- aming what is known as the hydraulic lifts for vessel in France and England, and that their report would be received in time for action by congress. From several conversations 1 have had with members of the commission, the chief ot engineers and others, I am con fident that there will be a strong favorable report for the improvement, and that the project recommended wi.l be a boat rail way. I have strong hopes that with such a report our delegation, acting in unison, as we will, will be able to secure a large appropriation for the commencement of this improvement. In regard to other improvements, the large estimates made in previous years for the work at the mouth of the Colum bia and at the Cascades have aided greatly in securing large appropriations. This year the estimate for the amount which can be economically used at the mouth of the river is not so large as heretofore, ana 1 fear as a consequence that there will be more difficulty in securing as lrrge ap propriations. As J have said to you be fore, the appropriations are based, to a large extent, upon the recommendations of the engineers in charge, the first thing done being to determine about how large tbe bill will be and then to divide the amount to be appropriated among the sev eral works.
