" A very beautiful cloud effect was wit
nessed from the rear porch of the Uma
tilla House yesterday. Two counter cur
rents ofVair had formed the clouds in .the
shape of a column, and aboye this had
drifted a heavy dark-colored fog-bunk.
This scene was witnessed and admired by
many lor several minutes, and at one
time a glint of sunlight gave to the whole
scene a golden covering. The tints on tne
Klickitat hills frequently assume very
beautiful shades, and are a source of grea
enjoyment to all lovers of natusc.

Mountain Lion, Yvhite Bear, Blue Bird,
June and Mojutcin Robin mines and are
free-milling gold and silver. The gentle

confidence in these clums, and from a
critical examination ot the specimens at
Marcum & McBride's store there is no
doubt left in our mind but tbat the mines
will prove very rich in gold and silver.

The gentleman who came to Salem with
the news informs . some friends
ot the peculiar and sad accident: "It
seems that a young gentleman by the
name of Mr. Dugger was paying his re
spects to the young lady, and until late in
the evening they remained up talking,
and in some unaccountable way the
young lady's- dress caught fire. Every
effort was made to extinguish the flames,
when, failing in this, the girl dashed into
the yard, the wind kindling anew the
flames, when at last her fattier with a
:hncltet of walpr mnmirorl to nut tlia fire

The union services at the court house ves
terday attracted a yery fair audience, and
the remarks of Rev. A. C. Spencer, of the
Methodist church, in this city, were lis
tened to with -marked atitntiou. They
were appropriate to the cccasion, and were
delivered in a very able and eloquent man
ner. Ihis reverend gentleman is making
very many friends in this city by bis dis
course, and, althoui'li lately appointed to
this chnrge, is taking a leading position
among the clergymen of 1 ne Dalles.
Yesterday a public Thanksgiving dinner
was given at the school house ou .Light
Mile, at which there was a full represents
tion of the people in the vicinity. The
table was spread with fat turkeys and all
the delicacies of the season, and after the
repast was over. Rev. vY m. Chapman deliv
ered a very eloqueut and able address. He
dwelt largely on the benefits derived by cit
izens of the United States over those of
othe countries, and especially above those
of the starving poor of Kussia, who were
using every means to keep themselves alive.
The remarks were well received, and the
occasion will long be remembered by those
present.
The "punkin" sociable was largely at
tended at the Y. M. C. A. reading rooms
last evening. After the literary exercises
were through, which were yery entertain
ing, the yonng men were put to hemming
aprons for the yonng ladies, for which two
prizes were awarded. Mr. K. Jensen re
ceived the first priz? and Mr. John Booth
the booby. After this the young ladies
were engaged in sharping lead pencils,
and in this voo tion Miss Etta Story se
cured the first prize and Miss Rose Michel!
the booby. The refreshments served were
pumpkin pies, and there were pumpkin
lanterns and pumpkin souvenirs. This
sociable wal a remarkable success by reason
of its novel features, and we expect several
more to be held during the winter season.
Thcsuit of D. M. French et al. vs. D. L.
Catcs. sheriff, in -which a verdict was
reached by the jury yesterday morning. at-H
tracted greater interest than any trial dur
ing the present term of court. As gleaned
from the records the facts are that Mr. R.
G. Coster, for a debt of J4S00 and interest
accruing, owed mm by Messrs. A. A. and
(J. r . Uonney several years ago, levied on a
band of sheep owned by them. These were
replevined by D.M. French etal., who claimed
the sheep by D eans of a bill of sale exe
cuted by the Bonneys, and the sheriff was
made the defendant in the suit. There
were several witnesses examined, and the
trial occupied two dayt . The plaintiff was
represented by Mays, Huntington & Wil
son and the defendant or rather the inter
est of Mr. R. G. Closter by Judge Ben
nett. After' hearing all the testimony, the
agU'nent8 of attorneys and the instructions
oi the judge, the jury returned a verdict for
the defendant, and we have never known a
verdict to give more general satisfaction, as
this community, among whom Mr. Closter
has lived the greater part of his life, know
him to be an honest, hard-working man
This amount was the result c-f careful econ
omy, and upon which he had to depend for
a support during the few remaining years of
bis lite, and, if lost, would have left him in
a beggarly condition during his old age
Mr. Closter was the subject of many con
gratulations yesterday, and be hiimelf feels
juyful oyer his success.
Stuck in the Mud.
Astoria Talk, Nov. 23d.
The Stale of California came down from
Portland this morning, and left for San
Francisco about 10 o'clock sharp' Satur
day night with a heavy cargo of wheat
and several passengers. When she reached
the lower end of Swan - Island, a short
distance from Ladd's flour mill, she got
stuck in the mud, and had to call for as
sistance. The Bonita, Columbia Chief, S.
O. Reed and Ocklahama came alongside
and tried to pull her out of the mud, but
they could not make it. Then they went
to work lightering and took oft about 300
tons of wheat. It took about 14 hours at
an expense of something like $1000, to
say nothing about the time lost.
The passengers for Astoria went to bed
early, and got up Sunday expecting they
could step from the steamer to the dock
and go home, but they were surprised and
disappointed when they came on deck
and found four river steamer tugging
away at the big steamers, just outside the
citv of Portland, with Astoria and their
families ,00 miles away.
The port of Portland hud better gel to
work and dredge the ereefr, or the "sea
port" will get a bud name.
The Medical Board Sustained.
The supreme court of Ongon his just
rendered a decision of treat importance to
physieians that of William A. Barmore
against the state board of medical examin
ers, and the board has been su-i'-sice I.
Dr. Barmore had been refused a certificate
by the board npoo showing ho was a grad
uate of the medical department ol the uni
versity of Ohio and had a diploma from a
legally chartered medical school in good
standing, and was refused upon the ground
that the Oregon state board had adopted a
rule which defined "medical institution in
good standing," as need in the a:t to mean,
"only those institutions which required
three regular courses or sessions vl six
months each, extending over a period of
three, years' time," and that the school of
plaintiff did pot, when he graduated, haye
such a three years' course.
If Dr. Barmore bad applied before the
board adopted this rule he could have been
admitted to practice in Oregon.
Dr. Barmore asked a mandamus to com
pel the state board to issue a certificate and
won his case in the circuit court. This i
ow reversed by the supreme court, and the
state board of examiners sustained.

The People of Dufur Turn
Out En Masse.
BRILLIANT ESSAYS AND ORATIONS.
The First Annual Session of the In
stitute at Dufur a Pronouced
Success,
Tuesday's S.ssion,
Tuesday afternoon, the 24tb, opened
the first annual session of the Farmers'
Institute at Dufur, under the auspices of
the State Agricultural College. Repre
sentatives of the college were present
in toe persons of Miss Margaret bnell.
professor of domestic economy, H. T.
French, professor of agriculture, and F.
Berchtold, professor of history, drawing
and musx.
The people of Dufur possess many ad
mirable qualities, among them being
hospitality, generosity and appreciation,
and the faculty were royally entertained
at
their bands, and greeted the institute
with an audience tbat elicited the query
Where did tbey all come from? Dufur,
though a thriving, bnsy town is a small
one, and the new church was literally
rowded with farmers, merchants and
townspeople who greeted the opening
session of tbe institute, the attendance in
other towns suffering' by tbe comparison
The meeting was called to order by M
J. Anderson, better known to Dalles
readers under tbe nom de plume of
"Kerjo," who, in a short speech, an
nounced tbe object of tbe meeting. A
j -
motion prevailed tbat Hon. A. J. Dufur,
Sr., be elected permanent chairman, and
was introduced bv Mr. Anderson to tbe
ad ence with a few well chosen remarks,
cumplimenting this fine old gentleman
for the many excellent qualities which
has endeared him to tbe people of Dufur,
and which is responsible for the affec
tionate sobriquet by which he is well
known "Grandpa" Dufur.
The Senior Dufur occupies a niche of
his own in the historical makeup of Ore-
goo. He is a gentleman of courtly man
oers, of pclishcd grace, and hts be
queathed to his country tbat honorable
heritage of which every patriarch can be
proud a number of sturdy and i itellect
ual eons to perpetvate an honorable
name. His bair has -whitened in tbe
rapidly accumulating years since pioneer
davs and bis hand trembles with the ap
proach of a golden autumn, but his gentle
dignity as presiding officer of a meeting,
and his yet keen perceptions betoken
the same ktndiy heart that has beat un
interruptedly during bis 76 years of life.
Upon taking tbe stand, Mr. Dufur
thanked the assemblage lor. tbe honor
conferred upon him, stating tbat be was
sensible of the honor bestowtd upon bim,
that he had tilled like positions wben in
a more active life, but tbat he felt, wben
it came to a race, that he was good ''for
tbe first quarter yet."
The address of welcome was next to
have been delivered by Mr. A. J. Dufur,
Jr., but tbe gentleman being unavoidably
detained, it was read by Miss Anna
Dular, who was introduced as one of
Oregon's bunch-grass girls, and who
faultlessly read a hearty, good welcome
to tbe profecsors and friends who had
assembled on this occasion.
Prof. French responded ia a neat
speech, stating that he was flattered at
the interest already manifested, and tbat
the people at Harrisborg had not doue so
generousiy, as tbey bad mistaken the
meeting as a sort of political gathering
of tbe Alliance or something ot that Bort.
The speaker next went on to say that
win e tbe college representatives were
yery anxious and gratibed to be of ser
vice to tne farmers in tbe matter of im
parting knowledge, that they frequently
gained more than they gave. In refer-,
ence to the college he stated tbat it was
first a religious organization, under the
patronage of the M. E. Church South,
and but little practical agriculture
tught, but tbat later it was taken up by
tbe state and managed by a board of re
gents and liberal appropriations made by
the state and national governments, tbe
experimental fund from the general gov
ernment alone amounting to about $15,-
000, while tbe state furnished about
$6000 more. -Next year be hoped there
would be forty institutes, instead of six,
throughout tbe state. Tbe professor ex
plained tbe great benefits to be derived
Irom tbe experimental department. He
stated tbat the mecbaoical department
taught such important and generally
slighted information as to how to. saw a
board straight, bow to weld iron for sim
ple and common uses, etc; that an ex
perimenta! farm of 145 acres was em
ployed for finding out useful 10 forma
tin. by experiment, and which was
equipped with all necessary buildings.
Bulletins are sent out at stated periods
during the year and these every farmer is
entitled :o who wilt leave ins address!
wrh the tecre'ary OI the experimental
liianch sueti tiii '.s have been lnuoduced
as strawberries, injurious insects, sugar
beets, etc. Toe professor concluded by
paying a compliment to our beautiful
climate heie. i-i' g tbat it teemed to be
easier to breathe on this side of tbe range
and that there was more life and anima
tion than in Western Oregon.
Next came a very pretty selection by
tbe choir i-j II erry Mountaineer."
"Poultry Raising" was the subject of
an exhaustive and instructive paper by
Prof. Berchtold. It will be imposible in
this limited space, to even touch upon tbe
many valuable points given by the pro
fessor upon this subject, but will be pub
lished in full at some future time for tbe
bent 6 1 of our readers. . In the course of
the paper he said that Oregon was freer
from chicken diseases tban the east, end
that the Silver-Laced Wyandotte seemed
to be the breed best adopted tor tbe coast.
His remarks were followed by a general
discussion in which Mrs. Heisler, Dr.
Vanderpool, Prof. Farrington and others
joined, but tbe argument, sifted down
seemed to indicate that the present
alarming number of coyotes precluded
tbe chicken business from becoming one
of the profitable business enterprises cf
the Dufur conntry.
Mr. M. J. Anderson next read a humor
ous paper entitled "Hayseed in His
Hair," which was well received.
Songs by tbe school, led by Prof.
Frazier, and the choir completed tbe
afternoon exercises.
EVENING SESSION.
The commodious church was filled to
its utmost capacity at tbe evening ses
sion. A brilliant oration was made by tbe
Hon. W. H. H. Dufur upon "Political
Economy from a Farmer's Standpoint."
Tbe speaker is gifted with an earnestness
I which was a fit setting to an oratorical
h Kem- Tne oration abounded in patriot
1 j r n . : n J . j
ism, guou lenuwsuiui nnu hwai bguoc, auu
points a moral so plain tbat, if rightly
followed by the farmer audience, is cal
culated to better their condicion Intellect
uals, as well as well as financially. He
condemned in strong terms reckless and
speculative farming, said that we should
have state and national aid, as agriculture
should reeeive the fostering care of the
government. As tbe oration will be re
produced in our columns, no attempt
will be made bere to review it.
Next followed a very pretty duet by
the Misses Dufur and Heisler.
"Womans Sphere'' was tbe title of a
pleasing essay by Mrs. S. Can field, who
presented the usually distasteful euoject
to masculine ears from feminine lips so
attractively as to win a generous applanse.
Miss Snell next entertained the audi
ence with her paper "Department of
Science at the Agricultural College."
The paper, written in chaste English,
simple, natural, graceful and refined, well
deserves reproduction entire, but it will
be impossible to more tbat touch upon
its salient points. She opened by desert
bing tbe beauty of the college and sur
roundings, next tbe benefits to be derived
from it. The different departments
taught were mentioned, including sewing,
cooking, dairying, marketing, horticul
ture, millinery, dressmaking, and hygienic
dressing. One of tbe original sayings
of Miss Snell, and destined to become an
epigram was: "Yon cannot elevate tbe
standard of Christianity untily ou elevate
tbe standard of cooking."
Mrs. J. O. Johnson next read a paper
full of information as au egg is of
meat upon flowers, beginning by making
tbe point tbat while there is a little water
in this country many beautiful flowers
can be grown without irrigation. Tbe
lady touched briefly npon tbe entire
category, her essay being characterized
by tbe purity of tbe lily, tbe modesty of
tbe pansy and simp icity ot the daisy.
The meeting was then announced open
for discussion which with tbe question
box prolonged a most interesting session
till 10 o'clock.
Wednesday's Session.
The second day's session of the Farmers1
Institute opened with a still larger attend
ance than on tne nrst day. The morning
session opened with a paper by J. Trout en
titled "Education and Reform and How
Best to Obtain Them." The paper was of
a radical nature, moro political than social,
and contained many of those sentiments
which have kept the more impressionable of
the farmers in a state of ebullition, feyerish
dread and aggressive defense against wrongs,
real and imaginary. At tbe conclusion of
its reading remarks were announced in or
der, and Mr. Dufur, the venerable chair
man, arose, and had neared the climax of
one of those fine bursts of eloquence for
which the senior Dufnr is noted, the enthu
siasm of which is so infections because of
its spontaneity, when he was rudely inter
rupted by a voice in the audience who,
wishing to air his precarious knowledge of
parliamentary practice, asked that the
chairman appoint a temporary chairman
when taking the floor. The effect was
mined.
Tbe Polish Boy" was then very ably re
cited by Mias Peters, and was followed by
a selection by the choir. Next followed a
recitation by Chas. Heisler which was well
received.
Tbe next paper was "The Fanner and
His Horse," by M. J. Anderson. The gen
tleman showed how farmers often allow the
feet of their most valuable allies the horse
to beoome sore because of a lack of prop
er knowledge, as well as a lack of confidence
in the blacksmith. He exhibited a number
of shoes picked np at random in his shop,
showing tbe defects in tbe shoes, which had
lamed, enppled or made sore the feet of the
horse to which it had been attached, but
which had! been ordered so made by the
owner against the judgment and advice of
the blacksmith
The paper was productive
of much comment, and as it is a valuable
one. it is to be much reeretted that it can-
not have the benefit of a wider circulation, f
"Schneider's Party" was the title of an
irresistably comic recitation by Clark Bol
ton in dialect, followed by music by tbe
school. Prof. Frazer is justly proud of the
accomplishments of hia pupils in this line,
and they do furnish excellent vocal music
AFTERNOON.
Prof. French opened with a yery enter
taining and instructive paper npon "College
Work in the Agricultural Schools," advo
cating that the work taught should be in
reference tspecially to that with which tbe
student is likely to come in contact at
the completion of his course. r
After an entertaining recitation by Miss
Omer Smith, the important subject of summer-fallowing
was opened with a paper by
W. E. Campbell, a strong advocate of tbat
system, followed with remarks by many in
the andience, including Wm. Kndersby, VV.
J. Harriman, Prof. Underwood, Wm. Heis
ler, Prof. Holden, W. H. H. Dufur, Prof.
French, Dr. Vanderpool and mauy others.
Mr. Harriman established the point yery
clearly that summer-fallowing is a saying of
haif the labor except that of plowing, aa
the Gelds should be run over with a culti
vator in May. A number of experiments
were then related, with varying success, es
tablishing the fact that different soils re
quire different treatments. Prof. Holden
said that the philosophy and purpose of
summer-fallowing was to get two years'
moisture for one year's crop, and to this
end tbe ground should at first be plowed
deep and then cultivated often but shallow.
"Zoology and Botany," was next an
nounced by Prof. Frazier. He was full of
his subject and would occasionally leaye his
written remarks to illustrate a point at
leDgth. One of his ideas was that the text
books of the future would be totally differ
ent from those of to-day and would include
primarily a knowledge of zoology and bota
ny along with grammar and numbers. He
was fittingly followed by a short, spicy
paper by Mr. Harriman, entitled, "Should
Agriculture . by Taught in Our Publio
Schools?" The gentleman strongly urged
that every school should have at least - two
acres of ground adjoining it for purposes ot
cultivation.. A heated discussion was then
indulged in concerning ventilation.
EVENING.
In the evening tbe chnrch was crowded,
many being compelled to stand.
The Beautiful" was the subject of an
essay read by Miss Anna Uutur. tier
charmingly-painted word pictures of the
beautiful in nature the seasons, th phen
omena ot tbe air, the trees, flowers and
plants constituted the essay one of the most
refining and soul-inspinng of the session.
She was succeeded by a comio essay upon
'Henolosty," by K. C. Warren. This paper
was productive of much mirth. The choir
followed with a song equally as langhter-
provoking r"The Ducks." Ioea Thompson
next recited "The Farmer's Wife."
Wm. Holder, state lecturer of tbe Grange,
then delivered an eloquent address upon the
question "Should Farmers Organize?" This
paper was one of the masterpieces of the
convention. Tbe speaker was enthusiastic
and confident and replied with spirit to all
questions asked at . its conclusion. Mr.
Holder said that tbe farmers possessed gen
erally more stolid indifference on questions
tbat vitally pertain to them than the death
defying sayage. Tbe farmer he fonnd paid
80 per cent of tne taxes, while tbey only
owned 20 per cent of property. He said
that the papers, great and small, had fonnd
many candidates for the next session of the
legislature, but not a single one had vet ad
vocated a fanner. He considered that the
time bad now arrived for farmers to take a
bold stand, and the educated farmers were
tbe ones needed for leaders. The chairman
was again aroused into eloquence during
this discussion and entertained the audience
with a fine character sketch, only its lines
were never written, it was real rather than
acted but as truly possessed 'the require
ments of art as represented in the tonching,
simple ballads of Carleton, and the grand,
stirring playing of Shakespeare.
Tbe question box elicited many queries
and answers. One of the diversions was
the proving by Mr. Heisler that an egg
could be made to balance on a cotton thread
stretched in mid-air. It was done by the
well-known philosophic principle of bring
ing tbe center ot gravity below the fulcrnm,
in this case by a stick broken in the center
and placed astride the egg.
The closing words were spoken by Prof.
Berchtold, who said that this had been one
tbe best farmers' gathering he had ever
seen, tbat there was a genial air of good
fellowship that seemed to pervade the very
atmosphere. He closed by thanking the
people of Dufur for the many favors received
at their hands, and extended a cordial invi
tation to all to visit the college whenever in
Corvallis.
Resolutions of thanks were extended to
the choir, the chairman, the press, the
trustees of the church, the brass band, and
Prof. Frazer and his school children.
A song by the choir, ''God Be With Us
Till We Meet Again," closed a most inter
esting and memorable session the first an
nual Farmers' Institnte held at Dufur.
Wasco conntv, Oregon.
The reporter of the Times-Moontainkke
wishes to personally thank the Dufur people
for the courtesies extended in behalf of him
self and the press generally.
