We learn trom an exchange that Chelan
is having a little boom of its own this fall.
Some forty houses have been built and
others are underway. The steamer Belle of
Chelan is used to bring down rafts of logs
from the head of the lake, and the Omaha.
another fine little steamer, is just ready for
business. The inaccessibility of the town
is the only thing against its rapid growth.
A wagon road from the mouth of the Wen
atchee to Chelan City would be a great ben
efit to all that side of the river, both above
and below.

Marr on the street, said "give me that

afterward he walked feeblv into Christensen

In conversation with persons who hrve
heard from all portions of the county we
earn that fall grass is growing nicely, and
that it is better now than it has been for
ears. Stock is in good condition, and no
more than an average loss may be expected
this winter.
Would it not be advisable for the young
men of The Dalles to start an athletic club?
There is splendid material iu this city to
have one of the best club3 in Oregon. All
young men who are fond of athletic sports
and physical exercise should meet and take
for rial steps to organize an athletic associa
tion. W. A. Whiting, formerly of The Dalles,
the musician who tried to skip out with a
cornet valued at $25, which he borrowed
from Frank Haekins, was allowed to plead
guilty to petit larceny in the ctiniin.il court
Wednesday at Portland. Judge Stearns
sentenced the prisoner to serve ninety days
in the gloomy depths of the Multnomah
county bastile. The defendant seemed
pleased to get off so easily.
The total value of assessable property in
this county this year is $2,600,000. There
is an increase of 50 per cent, in the nnmber
of tax payers this year over last, and we
have two hundred more names on the roll
than there were when Sherman county was
included in Wasco. This ih an execlleut
showing for Assessor Gourl iy, when the
fact is considered that he reduced the val
uation of sheep 50 cents per head, cattle
$7 per head HDil money, notes, accounts,
and mortgages were assessed at 50 per cent,
of their face value. Iu many instances
property was assessed at a much lower
value. Thi3 shows tl.e energy displayed by
this ol&cial, and well merits the commenda
tion of our people.
The connty court, after carefully weigh
ing all reasons for and against the reduction
of the levy of tuxes this year, came to the
conclusion that a tnx of 20 mills n-onld be
the proper one, and so decided. The con
trolling reason was that there are very
many end the largest taxpayers who are as
able to pay 20 mills at 10, who have not
suffered from the drouth, aud the reduction
would be favorable fo allalike. The county
court will be careful that no taxes be de
clared delinquent of those who are not
able to pay on account of the loss of crops.
A man came all the way from Tygh ridge
yesterday to inform us that it was probable
that Ohio had given a Democratic majority
on last -Tuesday. Still later, Sheriff Her
bert called us aside, and with an air of awe
and amazement, whispered into our ear the
ominous words, "Did you hear from Ohio?"
We told him yes, and for the benefit of all
future inquirers we will state that we are
well satisfied Ohio has gone 'Democratic,
that Iowa is close, Massachusetts mug
wumpish. and it would be no matter of sur
prise if Kentucky would support prohibi
tion, and Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia,
Virginia, North end South Carolina allow
negroes to exercise the election franchise.
We cannot be surprised now at anything in
a political line, and are constantly on the
qui vive lor wonders in the political world.

Malheur cave is located in a sags-brush
plain about one mile from the head of the
south of" the Maheur river.

navn is twentv feet wine and six feet hi.
at its entrance, and has on incline down
ward for the first 200 feet, and then turns
to the northeast aud runs very nearly
straight to the water, a distance of one-haif
mile from its'niouth. It will average tilty
feet wide und twenty feet high and is very
uniform in its structure, the walls running
up about six feet on either side, aud then
commence to arch over, and certainly form
the finest arch in the whole family of caves
that were ever discovered.
It is grand almost beyond description and
rivals the great Mammoth cave in its
smoothness of character and uniformity.
The first 250 yards is as smooth as a floor,
then are iound piles of rubbish or debris
that have accumulated by falling from the
ceiling above, 100 yards apart, the last one
being something over 100 yards from the
water.
There is no difficulty in reaching the wa

the main pool a distance of 100 feet settling
down on either side, leaving the floor crowning
t he water is remarnabiy ciear; one can
see the sand on the bottom at the depth of
four feet, aud it appears to have no outlet,
as it is perfectly still and quiet; it is good
drinking water:
This wonderful curiosity lias to be seen
to be appreciated. It is truly of basalt for
mation and is auarteuarv. the waiis are
houev-combed in many places, the wall on
the south side sets on a horizontal basement
of emotive rocks.
This magnificent cave has evidently been
used in time by the Indians as a fortifica
tion; the entrance has been walled up witn
some flonr which Mr. Wells had behind the
door. In devouring the Hour the hogs
closed their only means of escape, and were
left to their fate. After eating up every
thing iu the house they had no means of re
treating. When Mr. Wells arrived at his
camp after an absence of two weeKs, hia
surprise can well be imagined on bursting
open his door, to find three dead hogs on
the floor, iu pretty good condition but lit
erally famished to death for want of water.
The potatoes were all eaten, likewise the
flour and ether provisions, and the bedstead,
table and chairs were badly demolished. If
he had left a tub of water in the cabin, the
porkers would have been alive on his return.
and his cabin would have been furnished
with hog meat for some davs. As it was.

breastworks on the inside, running trom
each corner of the entrance diagonally near
the center some fifty feet long; this was for
a second defense in case they were driven
back lroin the mouth.
Around and above the mouth of the cave
there are considerable fine clippings where
the aborigines hvae sharpened their stone
imDlements which were made out ot ousid

I think that the water is in the end of the
cave, but cannot tell without further ex

Snow already gives a whitish cast to old
Strawberry mountain. That is right. What
this country wants is plenty of suow piled
up in the natural reservoir the high
mountains.
We understand that Mr. Guernsey con
templates getting out a ton of rock from his
project shaft on the mountain, and having
it clothed by the Keystone Mill at Quartz
burg. He certainly has seme liue looking
ore and is confident that depth will add
richness to the ledge.
The ATetr received a letter Saturday
night that had been eleven days coming up
from Portland, via Heppuer. What a mis
take was made, after all, by the postal de
partment, in not continuing our mail matter
by way of Baker City, as formerly, theu we
could be reasonably sure of a letter from
Portland in four days at the farthest.
The road between here and Baker on
Burnt river mountain, away over by the
counly line is said ' to be awful bad.
Freighters report it almost impassable for a
shot t distance. Cannot something be done
about it? We often wonder if Baker county
would not send a man or two over to repair
this particular mountain.
From Mr. Jesse Hoicsworth who arrived
in town Monday evening we learn that the
jnry in the case of State vs. D. L. Shirk, at
Harney, late Saturday eytniug retidered a
verdict of acquittal. The scae was begun
Mend iy and Friday 1 hu jury took the case
for deliberation. The first ballot stood
eleven for acquittal r.nd one for conviction.
kauti subsequent ballot was the same and
thus they hung for thirty hours. The
eleven were determined to stmd firm to
their honest convictions, and in this imper
ial virtue the one was lacking. He was
persuaded to j in the insjority, after a long
tune, and theu there was great rejoicing.
Mr. Shirk s numerous friends at Harney
were as highly elated over the termination
of the trial seemingly as were the defendant
and his family to be rid of the awful uncer
tainty atiending it. This case is the only
one of great importance on the docket of
liarney county aud had the counsel for the
state on one side and Hon. M. Dustin and
C. W. Parrish on behalf of the defense. Mr.
Shirk has a number of tried and true friends
iu this vicinity who are glad that he stands
vindicated by the law before his fellow
men.
The Whereabouts of Gibbs.
Oregonian.
"My honest opinion," said a Portland
deputy sheriff Wednesday afternoon, "is
that Gibbs is sojourning among the vine
clad hills of California. If he is not there,
he has made his way to Mexico, where per
haps he will be safe forever."
" Why?' do you ask? Well, 1 will tell
vou. I had a couversation with a colored
porter who runs between San Francisco and
San Jose. He told me that he saw Gibbs
at S in Jose nearly a week ago. ' Gibbs came
up to him and shook hands with him, and
the porter asserts positively that it was he,
He knows Gibbs intimately, having been on
the rond with him eight years, anil cannot
be deceived as to his identity. This porter
further told me that Uibbs looked at hi in,
as if be was suspicious or mistrustful. Hu
eyes had an inquiring look and he ramained
but a few minutes. This porter did not
know that Uibbs was wanted for murder
until he came up here. He then could

"The Columbia a B iptlst Elvei"
The above is the heading of an article in
the Herald of Trulh, published in San
Francisco, by a correspondent. The follow
ing are excerpts which we publish to show
the gist of the communication:
Did you know that the Columbia river
was owned by a Baptist? Well, it is, that
is, a part of it; the better part ot nve miles
of it at any rate. How does that strike
you? This is one of the biggest things out
of jail. Do you know how big the Colum
bia river is? Well, it is ten miles wide at
the mouth. Baptists don't own any of the
month of it though don't need any; they
have plenty of mouth and tongue, too, with
out it. But the Columbia, at Tho Dalles, is
a Baptist riyer. It is at that point one-half
mile wide, and eighty-six feet on an average
through the center. All that water and all
the hsh that swim in that water for nve
miles above the city, are the property of
Rev. O. D. Taylor.
I must tell you that he owns about 5,000
or 6,000 acres np anil down the stream on
the Washington side. Rev. O. D. Tavlor
takes no man's dust behind his team of fly
ers, ills great uncle was rresident laylor,
hence he is of good stock. He is an able
Baptist preacher, and is worth nearly or
quite $200,000, the most of which he has
made in the last six years, if yon wish
to be treated like a king by one who knows
bow to do the princely thing in a princely
way, just give Rev. O. D. Taylor a call
some tine day. Don't all call ac once, nor
take all vour "sisters, and cousins and
aunts," but call single file, and if yon do
Lot have a good time at 1 he Dallse, I shall
conclude that there is something wrong
with you. I was np to The Dalles for the
fourth time in my life last week, and the
fourth time was the charm.

Shooting Affray.
East Oregonian.
The particulars of the shooting scrape
at Farmington, in which William Russell
shot David Canty, are as follows :
Russell and a companion, a cripple,
were pessing through Farmington with a
raceho'-se, bound lor Coeur d' Alene.
They stopped at Hint place and entered a
srloon. Russell's f: lend was intoxicated,
and while drinking at the bar, slipped
and fell. At this iu. ident, several young
fellows who weie scr ted at a table, among
whom was Canty, laisetl a loud laugh.
Canty, being the n ore obstreperous, was
approached by Ri ssell, who exclaimed:
"You , y u would laugh at a
cripple, would yt u," at the same time
drawing a pistol and firing at Canty's
bead. The ball entered below the left
temple and pasted out below the right
jaw.
Russell was immediately arrested and
has been conveyed to Colfax. The shoot
ing occurred riaturday at noon, and on
the Sunday following Canty died from
the effect of his wound.
Ru'jsell narrowly escaped lynching at
Farmington. He claims that the weapon
was aecidently discharged.

"Big Bob" Satta, the Indian murdered
on the Swinomish reservation, near La
Conner, Oct. 7th., by the four Indians,
Charley Williams, Tom Alexis, Charley
Seatit and Big Bill, who are now in the
King county jail awaiting trial, was a
victim to Indian superstition.
It has always been a superstition
among Pacific coast tribes that when a
death occurred some "tenanimous man',
(meaning Indian doctor), was directly re
sponsible, and it followed as an unwritten
law that the member of tribe most open
to suspicion should be put to death. It
was supposed that the enlightening in
fluences of civilization bad dissipated this
dark superstition, but it seems such is not
the case. Big Bob, the victim of this
tragedy, had claimed to be a "tenanimous
man," and bad so worked upon the cred
ulity of his people that when a number
of deaths occurred upon the reservation
the finger of suspicion was at once pointed
at him. The Iudians held a council and
decided tbat their only safety lay in the
death of the medicine maa and four of
their number were appointed to execute
what they called retributive justice in the
most summary manner possible. Indian
Agent Salmon was told that Big Bob bad
been sentenced to death, but koowing the
unreliability of bis informants, laughed at
them.
Early Tuesday morning Big Bob's body
was found doubled np in a small and
hastily dug hole, only "partially covered,
tear the Catholic church on the reserva
tion. His throat had been frightlully
hacked and cut from ear to ear. It was
evident tbat he made a desperate struggle,
and that lie hud only been overpowered
after a determined resistence. Agent
Salmon had no difficulty in locating the
murderers, who made no effort to conceal
their crime. The Swinomish reservation
is now without a "tenanimous man."
The Two Ilakotas.
Sau Francisco Chronicle.
A Democratic contemporary has some
editorial commects upon North and
South Dukota which deserves severe rep
robation. Taking as a text the necessi
ties of the inhabitants of certain portions
of these new states and the actual starv
ing condition ot a large number of peo
ple, this journal says: "If the commit
tee sent Ire in st. raul to investigate re
port the truth the country receives a
sickening impression that a great par
lisun lruud has been perpetrated by the
admission upon a stuffed census and false
statistics of two states to be starving rot -ten
boroughs, useful odIj for the criminal
purpose of politicians. There seem to
lis no iuternal resources at all, and the
recent shouts over a partisan victory are
already declined to a beggar's whine, and
usiead ot two proud, resourceful and in-
deptnd-int states the doots of the Union
seem to have opened to two lazzaroni,
who come in asking alms."
This is probably the first time in the
history of journalism when a newpapur
has been so unspeakably prejudiced as to
denouDCe starvation as a crime because
the victims of short crops and hard times
did not vote the Democratic ticket.
Never before was the hunger ot a people
iranded as a partisan fraud or their ap
peal for the means of subsistence charac
terized as a beggar's whine. It is puerile
to tulk about a stuffed census when the
two states cast 120,000 votes, and to as
sert tbat the DukoUs have no internal re
resources when the contrary is so well
known.
Had these new states gone Democratic
the journal in -question would have been
uiong the first to move in the matter of
extending aid to our starving fellow
countrymen; but, since the people chose
to vote the Republican ticket, tbey are
lazzirnoi and beggars. It is a new code
of ethics, that of the journal referred to,
which would teed hungry Democrats but
let hungry Republicans starve.
Alhany, Nov. 7. The trial of Herbert
Rolfe, the second of the Southern Pacific
train wreckers, was concluded in the cir
cuit court to day. The court held that
the confession ot the defendant after his
arrest being not made without urgent
solicitation was not admissible as evi
dence. This left only circumstantial evi
dence which was not strong and the jury
returned a veidict this evening of not
guilty.
Much feeling is expressed among rail
road men as defendant bad confessed to
having assisted in breaking open the
switch which caused the disaster.
ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
San Francisco, Nov. 7. The steamer
City of Sydney, from Japnn to-day, brings
particulars ot the attempted assassination
on October 8 of Count Okuma. minister
of foreign affairs for Japan. The count
was returning from a cabinet meeting and
just entering the gate of his official resi
dence, when a man named Eurushima
Tsuneki, 30 years of age, and who was
politically envious of the count, stepped
in front of the carriage and threw a bomb
at the count. The bomb struck the top
ot tne carriage and exploded al the count's
feet, inflicting deep wounds on his right
leg and slight wounds on his right hand
and face. The would-be assassin then
drew a short sword and killed himself on
the spot by cutting his throat. The
connt's leg was amputated above the
Knee, but the surgeon states that no tear
need be entertained for his life.
THERE IS SOME COMFORT.
Columucs, O., Nov. 7. The following
was given out from the republican head
quarters at 10 o'clock to-night. '"We now

race between him Bnd Marquis is closf.

Campbell's plurality.
The Stale Journal, republican, says the
republican state committee estimates
Campbell's plurality over Foraker for
governor at from 10,000 to 12.000. Re

Des Moises, Nov. 7. The additional
returns on the legislative ticket show that

Boston, Nov. 7. The senate will be

The Board of Health can engage in no
more laudaOie occupation than the ex
amination of our fond supply and the in
struction of the public as to those articles
it finds to be pure and wholesome, and
wnicii, tuerelore, consumers should use
There arc quantities of baking powders
in the market to use which is certain det.
rimcntal to the health of the consumer.
They are made from alum, or improperly
compounded from other chemicals, so
thai tuey leave a strong alkaline residuum
u the food. Manv of theae powders, hav
ing been prohibited from sale in the east,
have bt-ea collected by their manufac
turers from the dealers with whom they
were left on commission, and shipped to
the Pacific coast. The public knows
nothing about their quality except what
it reads in the newspaper advertisements.
In the effort to gain a loot-hold in this
market unscrupulous manufacturers of
these cheaply mads low grade baking
puwaers nave inaulgea in extravagant
statements both with reference to their
own and others brands, claiming the
most improbable endorsements for their
goods and denouncing the brauds best
known and longest used upon the Pacific
Coast.
The action of the physicians of the
Board of Health, therefore, in giving the
puonc reliable, authoritative information
as to the brand of baking powder to be
used to secure the most economical and
wholesome food is most valuable and
timely.
The chief brands of baking powders
sold upon tbePacihc Coast were collected
and analyzed by Messrs. Thomas Price &
Son, the well-known analytical chemists
of San Francisco. Tbey found the
strength or leavening gas (measured at
iuu degrees V.) ot the brands named as
follows:
Leavening: Gas.
ak. Cubic inches per oz
ROYAL, - 191.
Giant, - -Golden
Gate, - - -Dr:
Price's, - -Pioneer,
- - - -
The general usefulness of a
nowuer depends upon the quantity ot
leavening gas it gives off. As these pow
ders aro retailed at about the same price.
the most economical is also apparent
The opinion of the Board of Health is
as follows:
We, the members of the Board of
ITealth of the City and County of San
Francisco, cordially approve and reccom
mend the Roval Baking Powder. It is
absolutely pure and healthful, composed
of the beet ingredients, of the highest
htrengt h and character. In our judgment
it is impossible to make a purer or
stronger bakiDg powder than the Royal.

in the sixties. The depth of the snow is
not now less than 2G inches on a level,
and in many places it is drifted seven
feet high. When the storm struck tliis
section, seven large herds of cattle, num
bering from 400 to 2000, were being held
near this 'place awaiting shipment to ihe
eastein market. The rain of -a week ago
Wednesday was followed Thursday morn
ing by a blizzard of snow and sleet which
sent the herds in a southerly direction.
In vain did the half-frozen cowboys try
to check the march of the herds, but on
they went through the increasing storm,
until, finding it utterly iirpossibie to
hold the cattle, the boys rode aside and
let them pass, and nearly dead, rode their
exhausted horses into canyons or partial
ly sheltered places, where "tbey-- passed
many hours of misery without food or
fire. Two cowboys drilteo into a canyon
wi ere they found a cedar tree with a
rxt's nest in it. They managed to l'ght
a lire with this. Daring the second night
one of their horses died from cold, and
having notlnnir to eat the men cut pieces
ot flesh from the dead animal, which tbey
warmed and ate without salt. Alter re
maining there for sixty hours they started
out and after much suffering and hard
ship from their weakene f condition,
managed to reach a ranch thirty miles
away, where tbey were cared for. Five
cowboys are known to have been frozen
to death, Henry Miller, John Martin,
Charles Jolly aud two unknown. Two
Mexican sheepherders have been found
frozen to death, one near Train peras and
nother on a small creek near town.

CLEAR TOUR FACE.
It has been heretofore shown la
these columns that modem medi
cine has demonstrated that a pim
ply skin is not the result of blood
diseases, but Is caused by Impaired
digestion, for which they now giT
vecetablo correctives Instead of pot
ash and mineral blood purifiers. Two short testi
monials are hero given to contrast tho action of
the potash sarsapaxlllas and Joy's Vegetable Sar
saparilla. Mrs. C. D. Stuart of lZH. Mission street, & F.,
writes that she took one of the leading sarsa
parillas for Indigestion and dyspepsia, Its only
effect was to cause pimples to appear on her face.
Upon taking Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla the
first effect was the disappearance of the pim
ples and she was subsequently relieved of her
Indigestion and dyspepsia. Robert Stewart also
writes from rctaluma, CaL, tnat
being troubled with bolls he found
that one of tho leading sarsapa
rillas actually increased the erup
tions, which responded at once to
Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla and
disappeared almost immediately.
