A Dangerous Project.
London, Oct. 22 The most dangerous
experiment ever witnessed at Portsmouth
where daDgerous experiments are nf al
most daily occurrence, was effected to
day, under the auspices of the admiralty
officials. Naval and military experts
have long been at work designing a boom
that wonld be proof against the rushes of
torpedo boats, and which could be relied
upon to protect rivers and narrow'
mouthed harbors, such as Queenstown,
from the ravages of torpedo fleets io case
of war. It was believed that such pro
tection had been devised, and the inven
tion was tested to-day. It consisted of a
boom thickly studded on its surface with
lormiaaoie steel spikes, losretner with a
seven-inch steel hawser stretched taut
overhead, as a ba'k to torpedoes. Lieut,
Sturdee, who had disapproved the plans.
ottered to prove the correctness of bis as
sertion that the device would not afford
the protection desired, be guaranteed
that he would either lump or force the
boom, and he finally obtained permission
to make the attempt. A swift torpedo
boat was loaned the lieutenant for the
expirement. Upon it be built a massive
arched superstructure, extending from
bow to stern, intended to raise and sup
port the overhanging hawser. Four sea
men volunteered to accompanv the
daring lieutenant. The lives of all
concerned were specially insured for the
benefit of their families by orders of the
admiralty, whose experts believed that
the attempt of Lieutenant Sturdee was al
most certain death. The importance
of the experiment as a means of makinsr
actual test of the availability of this
means of defense, alone justified the risk
n the eves of the officials. The boom
having been adjusted across the mouth
of the harbor, the torpedo boat started,
on its hazardous mission. The start was
made half a mile away from the boom.
and a high rate of speed was attained as
the obstruction was neared. At the last
moment the lieutenant - and bis men
rushed below and put down the batches.
An instant later, the boat, running at a
speed ol nineteen Knots, strucK the boom.
Ihe concussion wasterriffc and all the
occupants of the craft were thrown so
violently agaiust the side of the boat that
tbey were paj-tially bruised. It seemed
for a second aT though the expectations
of Lieutenant Sturdee wonld be realized
and the boat force its way through the
boom. She jumped -nearly clear, but
before she got through the hawser caught
her and pressed her against the big spike
of the boom, which held ber like a vise
and tore her bottom badly. The boat
at once began to make water. The sea
men worked at her some time before she
could be got free, then tbey started for
the beach, but the boat foundered before
reaching it, the crew being taken off by
boats from shore. There was much ex
citement among tbe spectators, and
though Lieutenant Sturdee's views had
been disproved, bis bravery, and that of
bis companions was highly praised. The
admiralty officials are greatly pleased
with tbe proof of the efficiency of the
boom.
A Chance for War.
Washington, Oct. 23. Interesting in
ternational difficulties are likely to ensue
as a result of tbe. recent cowardly attack
on AmeriCBQ man-of-war s-men in the
city of Valparaiso. Captain Scbley, of
the United States steamship Baltimore,
has cabled the navy aepaitment tbe de
tails of the affair, from' which it appears
that the attacK was both cowardly and
uncalled-for. Secretary Tracv laid the
report before tbe president, and it will
be considered at the cabinet meeting to
day. The opinion is prevalent that Min
ister Egan will be instructed to demand
immediate reparation and indemnity
from tbe Chilian government. A corre
spondent reports the president as having
said: "I mean to have no more of this
business from any nation, and tbe de
mand upon Chili must be immediate and
peremptory."
Capt. Scbley Informed the secretary in
bis report that it has become" impossible
for American officers to go ashore with
out being insulted, and that hereafter
tbey mean to go armed and to resent in
snlts in tbe proper way. "We are losing
our respect by permitting these things,"
says Scbley, "and tbe younger officers
are wild with rage, and can't be much
longer restrained." "I do not want
them to bo further restrained," said Sec
retary . Tracy t one of the commodores,
'.'and I have told Scbley so." Therefore,
any day may bring news of a serious
emente between tbe Americaasand tbe
Chilian mob, instigated and secretly en
couraged, it is believed here, by persons
high in authority there.
., Gladstone's new BUI.
London, Oct. 23. Gladstone has re
vised the home-rule bill. As to what
time tbe sheme in detail will be divulged
depends on fate and tbe character of tbe
government's Irish locsl government
measure, li tbe dissolution come now tbe
measure would be published with some
completeness, as it would leave tbe con
servatives no chance to say tbe country
had been deceived on any important
point. When tbe general election does
come, tbe issue will be fought on definite
ly declared ' home-rule lines. If tbe
popular vote places Mr. Gladstone in
power, the course thus adopted will
paralyze the opposition's positsjm. Tbe
house of lords will not dare CoVfject the
bill on the ground that the vote of the
electorate has not been especially taken
thereon. Regarding tbe principles of
tbe new treasury enough has been offici
ally ascertained to state that it gives tbe
proposed Irish legislature fuller powers
than did tbe bill of 1885. It retains tbe
lower and upper houses of the Irish
parliament, vests the appointment of
the judiciary in tbe Irish executive, and
maintains a larger representation of Ire
land in the imperial parliament. The
complete questions of tbe financial rela
tions and .control of tbe police are also
settled.
Trying; to get Even.
London, Oct. 23. Tbe protest of 8ir
William Gordon Cumcaing against the
appropriation of money for I be enter
tainment of the Duke and Duchess of
Fife al Elgin, has excited a lively row in
the Scotch burg, where tbe bead of the
Cumming family rather outrivals Queen
Victoria in popular regaid. Sir William
is considerable of a property-owner in
Elgin, and, can therefore, support bis
protest by legal measures if necessary,
while the fact that neither tbe duke nor
the duchess are of tbe queen's immediate
family takes away tbe excuse of loyally
for tbe proposed expenditure. Tbe Cum
mings, like other Scottish chieftains, are
noted for tbe tenacity of their hatred
and devotion, and it is believed that the
Prince of Wales will not be altogether
without anxiety over this evidence of the
bitterness of his former favorite
A Denial from Walsh.
Dublin, Oct. 23. Archbishop Walsh
has repudiated an interview which it was
said was held shortly after tbe death of
Parnell, and in which he was quoted as
referring to tbe dead leader in terms dis
paraging. Tbey aroused indignant com-
ments in many quarters where sympathy
for tbe dead man was not expressed
Archbishop Walsb also denounces the at
tack which was made -upon him by tbe
Chicago Herajd of October 9, classing
the statements made as "sensational cai
umnv." He adds: "Tbey attribute to
me an atrocious and un-Cliristian-liko sen
timent that chanty should not find place
at the open grave of Parnell. I feel
bound in my own defence and in that of
the dignity of my office to ascertain
whether tbe American law permits the
bringing to justice of the author or pub
lisher of the libel."
Creek Prelates Tried to (gave Jews,
St. Petersburg, Oct. 24. Only mea
ger details have been obtained of the at
tack upon Jews in the town of Storodub.
It is learned that the affair occurred on
tbe lltb Inst, and the immediate cause
of the outbreak was the dissatisfaction
of the peasantry and townspeople be'
cause the government did not stop tbe
Jews from trading on Sundays. A mob
took possession of tbe town, pillaging.
wrecking and setting fire to tbe houses
of the Jews, and held their ground
against the local authorities nntil night
fall. Tbe rioters were peasants from tbe
surrounding country, and when their
plunder was finished tbey departed for
their homes laden with spoils. Tbe con
duct of tbe two local popes of the Greek
church in attempting, at tbe risk of their
lives, to check tbe lawlessness of tbe in
vaders is highly spoken of. The priests
went among tbe angry crowds, bearing
aloft sacred pictures and exhorting tbe
people in the name of the religion they
professed, to cease tbeir deeds of violence.
Those appeals were in vain, and tbe po
lice and gendarmes were also powerless
against the mob. Tbe Jews, whose prop
erty was being destroyed or stolen, fled
to the country to avoid death. Many
were attacked and injured before tbey
could escape, and it is feared that some
were overtaken in remote spots and
killed after tbe looting of tbe Hebrew
quartets of the town had been completed.
An .English Opinion.
London, Oct. 26. The Times, referr
ing to the Baltimore affair at Valparaiso,
says it is clear that a brutal outrage was
committed, and tbe Washington govern
ment has a good prima facie case to de
mand satisfaction, but the time has not
yet come when such demand should prop
erly be pressed. If made now It would
be made in hot blood, and based upon
incomplete information. It is not for a
great and powerful - nation like the
United States to deal in this high-handed
fashion with a weak neighbor. Arguing
that Chili is recovering from a regime of
bad government, tbe attack on tbe Balti
more's sailors may be regarded as an in
sane drama. America's strong aggres
sive policy will tend to enhance tbe diffi
culties of the government, it having
already a bard enough time to maintain
law and order.
Another Insult.
New York, Oct. 24. -The World's
special from Ottowa, Ont., says : George
Baden Powell has evidently.got himself
into hot water by an indiscreet reference
to tbe possibility of the Behriag sea
question being made subject to the po
litical exigencies at Washington, at
tributed td him in an interview published
since bis arrival at Ottawa. A prominent
official of tbe government said to-night
that be could not imagine a more on
politic remark at this critical moment.
To impute such a motive asthe possibility
of politics for election purposes being
introduced or being allowed to influence
tbe authorities in Washington in arriving
at a just settlement of the case, he
thought was not only indiscreet, but
very undiplomatic. Sir George does not
appear to have denied making the state
ment attributed to him.
Chinese Laborers.
Ottawa, Oct. 24. Advices from
British Columbia are to the effect that
great excitement exists there among
white laborers over the refusal of the
Dominion government last session to
adopt legislation restricting the immigra
tion of Chinese laborers. Tbe Chinese
arrive in hundreds by every steamer from
Hong Kong, and although hundreds have
made their escape across the boundary
line into tbe United States a considerable
number remain in tbe Pacific provinces.
Tbe presence of a battery at Victoria and
militia on the mainland are said to have
prevented riots which otherwise would
have occurred within tbe last tew months.
A bill is now before tbe Columbian legis
lature making it illegal to employ China
men in the mines.
A Heavy lefalcauen.
New Orleans, Oct. 23. Everything
is quiet at the Louisiana National bank
this morning, and np to noon no arrests
bad been made, and there is little doubt
there will be any. In an interview with
Morris, the president of the clearing
house,' this morning regarding, Garcia's
defalcation, he said : '-Eugene F. Garcia,
paying teller of the Louisiana National
bank, is a defaulter in tbe sum of $190,
000. It was first discovered on tbe 8th
of October, but tbe full extent of tbe de
falcation was only demonstrated on tbe
7th. Garcia had confessed a shortage
from old payments, errors and mistakes
committed by him within tbe past
fifteen years. The cash at the bank was
examined and the shortage discovered."
The Baasian Wavy.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 23. The Novos
ti says tbe launching of tbe new Russian
ironclad Navarino, wbicb occurred Tuesday-last,
is tbe beginning of a scheme to
reergaoize the Russian navy. It says
the great Baltic fleet that will be able to
defend Russian interests on tbe high seas
and carry on operations in hostile waters,
will be created ; also a fleet to protect tbe
Baltic coast line", together with a number
of armed cruisers. Tbe government will
acquire possession of tbe entire naval
sbip-building industry of the country,
and establish another naval port besides
Cronstadt, and one not liable to be
blockaded by an enemy.
Threatentnc and Offensive Letter. .
London, Oct. 23. Since tbe death of
Parnell tbe members of tbe McCartbyite
faction wbo were conspicuously opposed
to him, have been ' in receipt of ail sorts
of threatening and offensive missives, as
a rule anonymous. Timothy Healy is
especially a target of attack, also Sheehy,
the Galway member, has had nearly an
equal share, especially since bis attack on
John Redmond. Healy affects to treat
writers with contempt, but Sheeby is
very much excited over it and would like
to meet some of his correspondents.
Horrors af Famine. -
London, Oct. 24. A St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Standard says the
approach of frost has caused a renewal
of distress. Novostl estimates that 20,
000,000 people are without food. Sta
tistics prove conclusively that in many
places speculators get exorbitant prices,
and corn merchants ol the village of
Koolaks are usurers and charged with
the responsibility for the extortion. A
Samara paper declares that tbe Jews are
angels compared with tbe Eoolaks, who
are in the habit of reducing those in their
power to tbe lowest stage of poverty.
Incidents showing the terrible distress ol
the people continue to be recorded. A
poor woman of Ratchino, on returning
borne from a neighboring village, whither
the had gone to try to purchase food,
found all ber children dead. A post
mortem examination being made, tbeir
stomachs were found filled with rags and
earth. Many villages are deserted in the
district of Porm. One half tbe popula
tion of Reasan have died of hunger or
diseases. An odious tramc is carried on
in woman's hair, the best heads realizing
a crown apiece.
Asleep for Months.
Lansing, Micb., Oct. 26. Miss May
White, the young school teacher, is still
sleeping. She has been slumbering
almost constantly for 135 days. She is
now lying at the house of Dr. Brown, of
Stockbridge, several miles south of here.
wbo has bad charge of' tbe strange case
since its inception, and bad the patient
removed to bis house that be might give
ner closer attention. Miss White, until
stricken, was a bright young woman, and
bad taught school in tbe neighborhood of
ber borne. While attending a business
school in Jackson, in July of last year,
she was attacked with nephritis. An
abcess formed in her side, and after
intense suffering she was relieved of. it.
Some time afterwards she was attacked
with epilepsy and suffered terribly from
convulsions, having as many as fifty in a
single hour. These continued until June
last, when tbe young woman suddenly
dropped into slumber so deep that for
days no one was able to arouse ber. Her
weight bas steadily decreased, until at
present she weighs but fifty pounds,
having lost over seventy pounds since
tbe beginning of her sleep. Dr. Brown
is tbe only person who is able to reuse
her, and tbe operation requires from
twenty minutes to one hour. She is ted
three times a day with light nourishment.

hour, during which she converses in
telligently and takes an interest in read
newspapers. At the end of half an hour
she relapses into an unconscious state, in
which she remains until her physician
again awakens ber. lit. Brown thinks
that tbe girl is bow gradually gaining
vitality, and be believes that she will
soon come out of her lethargic state.
An Inebriate' Mistake.
Spokane, Oct. 26. Tbe police have
thoroughly Investigated tbe report of foul
play in an accident that occurred to Jack
Baldwin, of Cceur d'Alene City, at tbe
Comique theater here last Friday nigbt.
Chief Metz said to-day that the man was
very drunk, so much so that he did not
know where be was or wbat - be was
doing. He was on the third floor of the
theater, and when be went down to go
out he descended only one flight of
stairs, and thinking that be was on tbe
first floor, walked out as he thought upon
tbe sidewalk, but in reality upon tbe bal
cony of tbe second floor. He fell over
a low railing to the pavement below, car
rying with him tbe electric lamp and
wire as be fell. Baldwin claims that be
was in a box with a grizzled old man.
and remembers of receiving a blow upon
tbe bead, when bn lost consciousness.
He says the out on bis head was received
while be was in the box. Chief Mertz
does not believe in any foul play.

Excited A flvIy Interest.
London, Oct. 26. Tbe news of the
critical relations between tbe United
States and Chili has excited lively into
rest here, especially in circles interested
in tbe South American trade, as English
capital virtually controls tbe nitrate de
posits, and is established in that country
more firmly than ever by the result of
the late war. There is a general feeling
on the part of those interested for peace
that war between the Uunitcd States and
Chili would mean, sooner or later, a
blockade of Chilian ports and interference
with trade. Tbe English nitrate princes,
of whom Colonel North is tbe chief, do
not object to the Chilians hating tbe
Americans and, boycotting American
trade, but tbey do object to a war that
would interfear with the English trade.
It u thought probable that English in
fluence will be used to induce the
Chilians to give satisfaction to tbe Ameri
cans. O'Conner Takes A Hopeless View.
London, Oct, 25. T. P. O'Connor
seems to take a nopeiess view oi insn
prospects. In his paper, The Sunday
Sun, to day he compares the present
interest in Irish affairs to tbe interest
that was exhibited in tbe American ex
ecution of Kemmler by electricity. He
says that John E. Redmond knows better
than anybody that there Is no chance of
paruamentry success in uorK, ana mat
Parnell shirked Manrcie Healy's chall
enge because he knew that Healy would
defeat bim, and that Redmond bas even
less chances than Jfarnell. Tbe paper also
congratulates tbe newly formed women's
literary cluo, ana urges tue ciuo io
admit male authors as honorary members,
on ' tbe ground that its income would be
thereby doubled.
Public Morality Promoted.
Berlin, Oct. 24. The emperor re
cently sent to tbe minister of "justice a
communication regarding the growth of
public debauchery in Berlin and pointing
out tbe necessity of measures to suppress
it. This communication'induced excit
ing activity on tbe part of tbe police, and
public morality naa oeen gresuy pro
moted. At tbe conference of tbe Social
Parity society at Dresden, held recently,
r'-solutiona of -protest were adopted
against tbe government's tolerance of
impurity. The meeting also approved
tbe emperor's project for tbe suppression
of drunkenness, tbe bill to wbicb end
will be among tbe first matters considered
by tbe reicbstag.
They Were American catlsens.
Rio Grande Citt, Tex, Oct. 25. Two
of tbe men shot October 10, by order of
General Garcia, because of tbeir alleged
revolutionary proclivities, are now known
to have been Juan Bazan and Jose
Angelvera, and it is clearly settled they
were American citizens and voters in this
country: What they were doing in
in Mexico at that time is not definitely
known, but the American consul at
Matamoras is making a through in

a few of the number executed by Garcia

The water supply below tbe bluff will be
shut off to-morrow from 0 o clock a. m. un
til 12 M, to connect the new pipes with the
old mams.
The farmer is still happy because of high

tied this year he will remain a long time
unsatisfied.
Mr. Chaa. Stabling is fixing np his sam
ple rooms on Second street in first class
style, and will keep as good liquors and
cigars as ever.
Light showers of rain have fallen daring

woman and child within her borders. This
is a' record of which any county might be
proud.
The auction sale at N. Harris' store last
night was more largely attended than on
any previous occasion. Goods were sold
yery rapidly and all appeared satisfied with
the bargains realized. Mr. Harris is sell
ing off bis goods at a great sacrifice, and
the people appreciate his efforts.
G. D. Richardson, a restaurant keeper of
Pendleton, and Mrs. Henry Scott, of New
York, were married this week. Tbe affair
was of the romantic order, the contracting
partus having become acquainted through
a chance correspondence, and neither had
seen tne otber until the day before tbe
wedding, which was the date that Mrs.
Scott arrived in Pendleton from the east.
A man bearing the euphonious cognomen
of Charlie Smith imbibed too freely last
night, and, in consequence, was given quar
ters in tbe city jail. Another man, very
much under the influence of tanglefoot, also
found his resting place in the same quarters,
but be was too druDk to give His name.
They were both brought before his honor
this morning and mulcted in fines, to this
they failed to respond.
There was a criminal case heard before
Justice Doherty this afternoon. It was a
case of a man having taken a horse from
freight cars without paying freight, and
while tbe horse was in charge of the Union
Pacific, the son of Freeman the owner
having taken it forcibly. Freeman was ar
rested for larceny as the company was re
sponsible for the animal nntil delivery
was made to the proprietor. -
Forged checks were passed last night by
S. E. Stone, on The Dalles National bank.
They were only counter checas of the'bank,
dated Tbe Dalles; with the name ol Moore
Bros, attached. Soon as presented payment
was refused, as it was a well authenticated
fact that Moore Bros., wbo do basinets at
Moro, had never signed tbem. The indi
vidual had taken French leave of the city,
and could not be found at the time of going
to press.
Darin? the recent fire the records of Co
lumbia Lodge, No. 5, 1. O. O. F., were en
tirely consumed, and Dr. Doane bad occa
sion to visit the office of the grand secre
tary during the past few days aud hss made
a complete roster of tbe membership, Tbe
lodge was tirat organized on November 1,
ISoo, and continued in existence until lobO,
when its charter was surrendered. On Jan
nary 9, 1864, it rcoiganized and has con
tinued to hold meetings ever since.
The old favorite steamer Emma Havward
has been brought around from the Sound
and will undergo some needed repairs after
which she will be placed on tbe Astoria
route. About eight years ago tbe Havward
was. taken to the Sound and ran for a time
between Tacoma and Seattle. She has
been one of the most serviceable steamers
of the Union Pacific fleet. This steamer
was at one time the favorite for travel be
tween Portland aud the Cascades.
A guardian should be appointed for the
city council of Eugene. It passes some
very foolish ordinances and tries the en
forcement of others. Witness the follow
ing: It is hard to escape the penalties of
violation of law in Eugene. The other day
a balloonist, while np in the air, distributed
hand bills that were wafted bitber and
thither, bv the wind. Some fell on the
streets. The balloonist was promptly ar
rested tor violation of the city law that
prohibits throwing of hand bills on the
streets.
E. O.: -Young Walter Lindsey and his
relatives are elated over his discbarge from
horse-stealing in Justice Bishop's court this
afternoon, on motion of the state. Lindsey,
it appear, had nothing to do with borrow
ing tbe horses in question from Denton's
stable or with selling them st La Grande,
bis companion, Gas Milkey, transacting the
entire business alone. He was merely in
bad company. By coming back to Pendle
ton to face his trial he cleared himself of
the stigma of horse-stealing, a severe one
for a young man to carry through life. -
The hobo nuisance is of a more vexatious
character in Southern Oregon than it is
east of the Cascade mountains, as will be
gleaned from tbe following from tbe Rogue
River Courier: "Marshal Colby bad quite a
tussle with a couple of drunken hobos at
the depot about 3 o'clock Thursday morn
ing last, bat nnauy got tnem into tne
cooler, and they were find $10 and $15 re
spectively next morning. Ote was willing
to work and tne otner wasn t; so tne utter
was fed bread and water daring his incar
ceration. On Saturday two bo bos who bad
been treated and fed by sf kindly disposed
citizen, relieved thtir benefactor of his
purse in the rear room of Lempke's saloon
and tbe thieves made off toward the coast
before tbey were caught.
TbeCorvallis Timet, an anti-Hogg paper,
iyes the following account of the Oregon
'acifio case lately tried m that city: Col.
Hogg was represented by two able attor
neys from New York, and J . K. Weather
ford and Geo. E. Chamberlain looked after
the interests of the unpaid laborers. The
oratory of the attorneys occupied the atten
tion of the court all the afternoon and by
mutual consent farther hearing was con
tinned nntil Friday, Ocfe 23d, in order to
give the attorneys for the petitioners time
and opportunity to examine tbe report of
the receiver that bad just been tiled. In
view of tbe fact that tbe laborers are still
unpaid, Judge Pipes ordered that the road
be advertised and sold by the sheriff as soon
as possible, and although the date has not
been fired, it is understood that tbe sale
will occur within six weeks. . The proceeds
are to be paid into court and tbe wages doe
tbe employes are to be considered.
La Grande Gazette- Three men were ar
rested at Kamela Tuesday afternoon, who
were supposed to be the men who commit
ted the robbery of the Wallowa Rational
bank a couple of weeks ago. Tbe arrest
was made by a resident of Kamela named
Springer. The three men were strangers
and claimed to be hunting for work in the
timber, stating that they had recently been
employed in the harvest field near Moscow.
Tbeir clothing and general appearance ws
supposed to answer to the printed descrip
tion of the robbers. They were brought to
La Grande and held to await the arrival of
Cashier Holmes, who reached La Grande
late last night. Not wishing to take any
chances in a decision ef the matter by lamp
lirfht he postponed an inspection of the men
till tbis morning, bnt it was the work of an
instant to pronounce the fact that the pris
oners were not the men who robbed tbe
bank. Tbe men refused to give their
names, and did not appear apprehensive of
the results from the time of their arrest.
Neither were they disposed to complain of
their detention, and are now pursuing the'
even tenor of their respective ways.
East Oreoxmian: Engineer Nelson's iron
steed, O. ft W. T. engine No. 4, was in a

except by breaking the chain at the risk of
injuring its anatomy or tearing up the
track. It was soon released, however, on a
notification from U. H. Wright, Sr., through
his attorney, that he is personal owner of
all the company's rolling stock, and there
fore the engine could not be attached for a
company debt. If this was not sufficient it
was intended to inform the sheriff that he
could not delay the United States msil by
chaining np the engine which hauled it.

held in $50 bail, which he furnished and
was released from custody.
The east-bound passenger train, due in
this city at 12 o'clock noon, did not arnye
until 1:20 P. x. The delay was caused by
tbe locomotive breaking a cylinder head a
mile east of Wyeth.
We learn from the Hood River Glacier
that Mrs. Oiler's little girl Lilian has been
quite sick for several days. Dr. Rioehart,
of The Dalles, being called in consultation

A considerable portion of yesterday was
spent in putting la a valve in the main
from the old reservoir running down Court
street to receive the pipe from the new res
ervoir coming down Union. Tbe connec
tion will be made to-morrow some time.
Hood River Glacier: The Union Pacific
has determined to fight the Segulator, and
is now carrying passengers from Tbe Dalles
to Portland by tbe steamer Baker for 50
cents. The Dalles Chronicle is advertising
this out of pure generosity to the company.
so that the boat may be well patronized.
The young man, Mr. Fred Stout, who
died yesterday, was an employe of the
Union racibc, and bad a large number of
friends among railroad men. His funeral
will take place to-morrow forenoon at 10
'clock. He leaves a young widow, to
whom he was married about a year ago.
The Palouse country is coming to the
front in the line of cattle, and a carload of
these in excellent condition are feeding at
the stockyards. Mr. Saltmarshe expects to
receive ten carloads this evening from
Crook county, from which portion of the
state a lucrative trade in live stock has
sprung np this season.
By the immense quantity of wheat that
as arrived in tne city during the past few
weeks one would be induced to believe that
the supply bad been exhausted, and yet not
day passes that long lines oi wneat
wagons do not throng the streets in the
vicinity of Moody's warehouse. Prices re
main as usual, the highest being 78 cents.
Localizer: Apple orchards are now com
ing into bearing, riliaa Messerly baa be
tween 200 and 300 bushels of a crop this
year, and a large crop of pears, plums and
prunes besides. Another year Kittitas will
have more than enough for borne consump
tion. The apples, pears and plums are
equal to the product anywhere east of the
Cascade mountains.
The Hood River Glacier says: It is often J
stated that the advertising columns of a
newspaper are a reflex of the town wherein
it is published. This may be true as a glit
tering generality, but- in the caso of the
"Glacier it is not true. Its columns are a
reflex of the thriving city of The Dalles.
According to the Glacier's columns, the
town consists of a livery stable, a, hotel and
paint shop.
Two unfortunates, rashly importunate,
found lodgings in the city jail last night,
because tbey were on tbe streets in an
inebriated condition. One claimed to have
been robbed of bis money while in this
nredicament; but be bears it philosophical
ly, and says he should have paid more at
tention to the company he keeps. They
had not been interviewed when our reporter
called upon the recorder.
Daveonort Times: The horsewhipping of
Del Hart, a prominent business man of Wil
bur, by a woman, Mrs. Lizzie Arment, was
followed by ber arrest, and a fine ef $10 and
costs last Wednesday before the town jus
tice, in all amounting to nearly $100. The
evidence as brought oat in the trial did not
indicate that the defendant had a very high
standing in the community, and the verdict
seems to bave been generally approved.
Gazette: The Belfountain Fruit 'Growers
Association bas bought trees of Brownell ft
Hyman, Albany, and will set oat 14U acres

The enterprise and energy devoted to tbis
company will be manifested in the fruit
produced in tbe next few years.
Express: Wm. Davis, of Shedd, president
of the Waterloo woolen mill company, was
in the city Tuesday. In an interview with
Mr. Davis he told us that be was then on
bis way to Waterloo to erect a building in
which to store sixty or eigty thousand dol
lars' worth of machinery, a part of the
manufacturing plant, which will be shipped
from uakland, ualit., just as soon as tne
building is in readiness to receive it.
Sixty sacks of wool were received at
Moody's warehouse to-day from SUver Lake,
230 miles south from The Dalles, and about
60 miles from the Nevada line. This wool
was brought in wagons the long distance,
and this city is tbe most available market
for that region of country. The import
ance of this point as a trading center can
easily be ascertained by tbis and similar
facts, where producers come a distance of
two hundred or more miies to reach The
Dalles. These parties from Silver Lake will
load with merchandise on their return trip,
and will take 15,000 pounds of groceries.
An individual, from the rural districts.
found himself on oar streets yesterday, and
thinking it was Saturday, wended his way
to the court house, thinking some trial was
progress. Religious services weie being
held at the time, and the usher took him to
front seat. He remained daring the en
tire sermon and singing exercises, and when
the Doxology was sang, and he once more
breathed the air on the outside be declared
it was the first time in six years be had at
tended "church,' and he would not have
been "humbugged" into attending if he had
not forgotten the day of the week and mis
took tbe character of our court house on
Sundays. ,
Volmer Vtdette: Moscow people have the
name of being very modest. It is' said that
young girls ol that city retire from company
to change their minds. Furthermore, it is
said that Moscow people will not sprinkle
their lawns nntil after dark lest tbe passer
by might see tbeir hose, and tbe newspapers
blush when they tell the naked truth.
When speaking of a table leg they say
"limb of the table." A young man from
Pullman visiting Moscow friends one even
ing attended a festival, and while there a
large dog having attracted the attention of
all, the Pullman young man said, "How
short that dog's pants are!" Nine young
ladies within his hearing fainted.
Baker Democrat: What is said to have
been a murderous assault was committed
Friday night npon William Dealy by one
Johns, a soap maker. The parties were
sitting in the Walker saloon at the depot,
Dealy at a table playing cards, Johns be
ing quarrelsome, took offense at something
Dealy said and smashed a heavy barroom
chair over his bead. Not content with the
injuries already inflicted upon Dealy be
went outside, picked np a heavy rock and
returning to the saloon threw it at Dealy,
bitting him in tbe face and knocking him
almost senseless. Johns then made a hasty
exit from the room and has not been seen
since. Tbe wonder is that Deal v was not
killed by tbe blows received.
Chieftain: There is nothing so important
to Wallowa county just now as the devel
opment of its mining interests, and it seems
there is hope that a start will be made in
the right direction next season. Wa refer
to the promise of prominent gentlemen that
mining machinery will be placed at an ac
cessible point on the Wallowa river in time
for work next summer. If this is done,
many a promising claim will be develoned
and many a mine sold at remunerative
figures. Machinery will not make good
mines, but it will enable all Bavins ore to
be worked, and the worthless claims can
soon be determined at little expense. We
hope to see all promises fulfilled, for it
means a fortunate transaction both to the
promoters of the industry and to the coun
try generally. .

The watchman last night paraded the
streets without arresting a single individual,
and to cast a glance inside the city jail one
gazed on vacancy. This was an unusual
state of affairs, as heretofore every morning
two or more answered to roll call.
We learn from the Albany Democrat that
lively "shovel" fight was indulged in re
cently by two laborers on the Lebanon
ditch. Neither was badly injured, al

Rev. A. C Spencer, of the Methodist

Mr. F. Dehro, in his jewelry store, has .
i old Hudson Bay musket, which he is
changing from a flint-look to an ordinary

it could talk it "could a tale unfold" which
would furnish interesting reading nutter in
any newspaper. x ,
Tbe sales of wheat on tbe Washington
side yesterday were very large. We are in
formed that Mr. Moody purchased nearly
every load, paying therefor 82f cents a
bushel. Mr. Moody is tbe pioneer in inaug
urating this industry on both sides of the
river, and tor several years bas ottered
supenor advantages to Klickitat farmers by
anchoring a barge on the Washington side
and buying their gram at a good figure.
Inlander: It is said that a good citizen of
this county recently saw an advertisement
in an eastern paper of a lady wishing to
correspond with a western gentleman. The
ad. was answered and a correspondence be
gan, which ripened into a marriage proposal
and acceptance, A short time ago tbe g. o.
sent $150 east to bring tbe promised bride
to Dayton. She was expected last Sunday,
but she did not come, now there is waiung
and gnashing of teeth.
An Indian named Joseph Williams, 20
years old, committed suicide Saturday
morning at Blame, Wash. Tbe deed was
executed in a novel manner. The Indian
tied a cord to the limb of a tree, four fees
from tbe ground, and wound it tightly
around his neck. Strangulation was accom
plished by throwing himself face down
wards, with the weight of his head and
shoulders on the cord. The act was com
mitted because a young Indian woman
would not consent to marry him before
November 15th.
There is no better argument in favor of
the fruitfalness of this region than the large
quantities of grain that bave been sold in .
this city during the present season. . For
any one to take a walk through Moody's
warehouse and see wheat sacks piled to tha
rafters and the platforms covered, and then
witness a busy force of employers nnloading
wheat wagons daily, would give him soma
idea of the rich country to which this city
is tributary. Besides Wasco and adjoining
counties on the Oregen side of the river, the
adjoining .county in Washington finds an
available market at Tbe Dalles. Surely our
opportunities for development are almost
unlimited, and future prospects are very
bright.
Iron Worker: Many will open tbeir eyes
in surprise to learn that the receipts of the
Oiwego-offioe amount to over twioe as much
as any point on the Portland ft Willamette
Valley railroad wltb the exception of Port
land. The monthly reoeipts at this offioe
are on an average of $2500. This partly
demonstrates tha volume of business tran
sacted here. To give the reader a olearar
idea of the importance of Oswego as a trad
ing and shipping point we will compare tbis
town with others through whioa this road,
eighty miles in length, passes. Newberg,
the center of the moat noted fruit growing
region in the state, has a population of 700;
Lafayette, where tbe Evangelical school is
located, bas 700 population; Sheridan, trib
