liuildisg in the burnt district goes for
-" ward at a rapid rale, ana hardly a day
passes that does not witness the frame
work ol one or more structures being
raised.
' The alleys should be cleaned of all rub
bish and filth, as, when the warm weather
comes, it win be productive ot malaria
and levers. An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.
' A Chinaman was stabbed in an opium
den last Sunday morning at Baker City
by an opium needle, a sharp-pointed pic-.e
of steel used by smokers producing a
, very serious, but not necessarily fatal
, wound.
We learn from the Ochooo Review that
grasshoppers are becoming very nnmer-.
ous on Willow creek, in Croak county,
- and that ranchman were uneasy lest the
hoppers should do considerable damage
to their crops. 1
The Prineville Review says : Thirty men
were put to work last week clearing the
. track on the Oregon Pacific in the Cas
cade mountains. The, Albany papers are
of the opinion that this move means that
work of construction will begin in a Short
.. tune.
The free lecture at the court house last
evening was not largely attended ; but the
audience paid marked attention to the
ideas enunciated by Mr. O. M. Pringle
He has very many original ideas on re
- ligion, and has given the subject consid-
; erable thought.
. , The Union street sewer is being re
paired to-day, and near the school house
. roots of the poplar tree were found chok
ing up the cayity to the length of fifteen
feet, if this sewer were terra cotta ti
would be almost impossible for these
' roots to effect an entranee.
but he is beyond doubt the same Fore,
who killed 1 Jell, and then eluded the offl
ters in the mountain, where it looked al
most impossible for him to do so. The
capture of this man means the clearing
up of a great mystery, as it was consid
ered bv many at the lime of the killing
as a very compncaica case, ana mat fore
was not the only guiiy one.
Baker City Blade: A shrewd scoundrel
travelling under the name of, H. D.
Brown, and bearing a certificate from the
commissioners of the world s fair, has
been playing a bold confidence game in
various parts of the northwest, and is
now headed this way. He approaches
prominent citizens and states that be has
been instructed to appoint a board of ex
aminers for exhibits at tbe fair, and de
sires tbem to become officers of tbe board.
His commituions and letters seem unim
peachable, and In addition to tbem be
produces a certified check on a bank in
which the world's fair funds are de -
posited. The whole transaction is a bqld
confidence game to work wealthy men
and tbe banks, and if the enterprising '
operator visits Baker City our people will
do well to heed Dim not.
Democrat: Recently we mentioned the
arrival in Albany of a little machine for
making money. It only costs 50 cents,
and is very innocent in good hands, as it
is in Albany. It is simply a trick, is
built somewhat like a wringer, being ar
ranged so that when white paper is put
in good money, previously concealed
under the cloths around the rollers.comes
out, looking exactly as if the while paper
had passed through. But it seems mat
the machine Is beinsr used bv confidence
men in some ttlaces in a very loud man
ner. A short time ago an uino man paia
$500 tor one. believing it really made
money. In another state one was sold for
$250, and in some places they were dis
posed of rapidly at f 25 a piece, showing
what a lot of greenies there are in the
world. It is probable laws will be passed
against the machines in some states. The
confidence scheme ot the machine has
not reached Oregon ; but if it does there
will be plenty to bite, one might judge
from the way every new fake is patron
ized. '
Messrs. Pnnz & Nitscke will begin in
a lew days the erection ot a one-story

their present place of business on Second

Sam Jones asked his auditors in a great
meeting how many wanted to go to heav
en. ' All stood up but one. He then called
out in his staccato fashion, "How many
warn 10 go 10 neii?" rvnereupon a lean,
lank fellow on the back seat slowly un
, clasped himself after the manner ot a
' Yankee jacknife, and pensively called
out, "I hale to get up, but it don't seem
lair to leave the parson there standing all
alone." ... .
' This, from an exchange, is a libel on
Crook county:. A. Crook county girl re
cently purchased a rod of butter from a
Prineviile grocer and starting tor home
accidentally let it fall on the sidewalk,
i - j . .t :
' the street got tangled up in the butter, one
end of which had stuck to the sidewalk.
In the tussle the dog was choked to death.

lady, and the bereaved husband and little
daughter three years old will receive

A. J. Ross shows bis faith in Spokane
by making a wager that at tbe close of
1900 Spokane will bave a population of
75,000. Tbe following is tbe form of tne
wager: .We will find a party desiring to
.borrow $2000 for that length of time and
moo can give gooa security inereior. i
will put up $1000 and tbe taker shall put
up $1000. We will receive our annual
interest therefor until the expiration - of
-'the specified time, at wbich time the
winner shall receive the entire $3000
Tbe wager, of course, is open to all for
the term ot 30 days, but is more particu
iarly intended for eastern croakers who
iinwe repeatedly and willfully misrepre
sented tbe city financially and otherwise.

A. S. Bennett, Geo. Watkina, J. L. -Story
and ' Mr. B. S. Huntington returned this
morning from attending court at Wasco.
Cattle interests were never in better con
dition for years than during the present
season. Horses, horned cattle and sheep
are in good flesh, and the grass on the hills
is excellent for this season of tbe year.
Tbe two militia companies in this city are
in excellent drill, and under tbe careful dis
cipline of the commanders tbey are attain'
iog a state of proficiency that will" be diffi

The clip of wool this season will be in
better condition than for several years past,
and the yield will be abandant and of good
quality. Wool will not begin to come to
market for some time: but our warehouse
men are preparing to handle the largest clip
of any season.
Mr. N. J. Corash, the night clerk at the
Umatilla -House,. is one of the most gentle'
manly officials in the city. Accommodat
ing and genteel to customers, be has made a
host ot tnonds, and as ticket agent ot tbe
Union Pacific during the nocturnal hours,
be has largely added to this list.
There have been some very fine veins of
coal discovered near Antelope, in this coun
ty, which will eventually be a source of
wealth to any person who undertake their de
velopment. They are of good -jnality and
in abundant quantities, and ail tbey need to
infuse prosperity into the community is development.
After the speech of Hon. A. G. Wolfen-
barger at the court house this afternoon a
rrobibition club was organized, the follow
ing officers being elected: Leslie Bntlen,
president; ft IS. Hood, vice president; Mrs.
lionnell, secretary; Mrs. Butler, treasurer.
The club meets tomorrow eveoiugat the
reading room.
A lady at Antelope, a few days ago, hav
ing her lite made miserable by the continu
ous "epree"-of her husband, determined to
demolish the cause, and undertook an indi
vidual crusade against the saloon on her
own account, cjhe demolished tbe fixtures
around the bar with a clnb, and then - made
for the coal oil lamps, when the bar-keeper
put her out. Some of the citizens of An
tekpe admire ber grit, 'and do not severely
criticise her judgment.
In a conversation with Mr. Frank Seu-
fert, of Seufert Bros., yesterday, we learn
that extensive preparation are being made
for handling the large run of salmon wbich
is expected in the Columbia when the sea
soy opens. . There is abundant snow in tbe
mountains, and tbis will make the river
high, which will insure' large quantities of
nsh. We should , not be surprised if tbe
salmon export this year would be larger
than ever before. .. . .
Milton Eagle: Some three weeks ago V.
Talbert ppt 12 eges under a setting ben.
and trusting to nature and the hen's pa
tience to bring him a brood of chickens,
calmly awaited the result. This week he
received bis reward, for the old hen made
ber appearance with 14 downy little chick
ens. Mr. lalbert, our informant, ls-a gen
tleman of ' unquestionable veracity. The
incident is only a further proof of our coun
try s remarkable productiveness.
A fortunate accident oc cur red at the rail
road machine shops at La Grande Monday
While an attempt was being made to re
move tbe bead from a piston rod, the mass
ot iron exploded, slightly injuring F. Brook-
ler and an assistant named Jacobs. . Ihe ac-
cment occurred in a very peculiar manner.
In order to remove the head from tbe rod it
was placed in the forge and heated. The
head is a heavy circular piece of casting
just tbe size of the cylinder, and is hollow.
In tbe process of- heating the same tbere
should have been left a yent bole, but there
was nor, and the expansion in the hollow
space caused an explosion. Pieces of cast
ing about tbe siza of a man a bead were
thrown promiscuously over the shop, and it
is a wonder tbst no one was killed.
Asotin Sentinel: James Cussick and his
company are working on the California
ledge about two and one-balf. miles above
the Grand Konde od Snake river. Tbey
will run a tunnel in one hundred and fifty
feet to crosscut the ledge. The ledge is
between eight and ten feet wide and assays
well and looks fayorable every other way.
Captain Forrester fonnd a ledge of quartz
last, fall near Snake river, which be named
the Star of Idaho, that showed considerable
pyrites of copper and iron, that all who saw
it predicted it would assay well. Recent
returns from the assay office are not of a
very flattering nature. Pyrites ot copper
locks so much like gold that new miners
cannot always distinguish the two, while
tbat of iron so closely resembles silver tbat
it takes an expert to discover the difference.
' Tbe fire-plucs on tbe bluff will be a great
advantage over what has been heretofore;
bat there should be hose placed at conveni
ent distances that conid be used u case of
tire. September 2d of last year, fully dem
onstrated the foolish policy adopted by the
conned in not baying any mains below the
blufl, and the water commission in a meas
ure remedied this by ordering new pipes to
be laid down Union and Second streets.
We are still firmly convinced tbat the es
sence of decayed timber, etc, which is now
being given to our people, will, in time, be
not be desirable, and that in a few
j ears, when the old flame decays ot is
washed away by a freshet, the pumping
system will be inaugurated. W'e are wed
ded to this, and, without dictation or influ
ence from any one, shall continue to advo
cate tbis as the only adequate sjstem of
water works for The Dalies.

Mr. Henry Hudson came in from Dufur
today, and he says be never saw fall wheat

construction.
Yesterday was a very bnsy day at the
stockyards in this city, and thirteen car
loads of cattle were received from Idaho
and shipped to Troutdale, and to-day there
are four more feeding. As the spring
weather becomes settled, cattle of all kinds
are moved to market, and The Dalles
stockyards, under the management of Mr,
R. E. Saltmarshe, controls nearly all ship
ments.
Col. Geo. T. Thompson, of this city, as
sumed command of the Third Regiment, O.
N. G., to-day, aud will continue until an

Mr. R. P. Patterson,, of Trout creek, is
in the city. He is one of the stage drivers
trom Bakeoven to Trout Creek, and is on a
visit to bis brother, Mr. Horace Patterson,
of Tbe Dalles.
Fred Johnson, of Pendleton, was bitten
on the hand by a tarantula the other day
while opening a box of bananas, tbe "veno
mous cuss" having been shipped in with the
box. Fred has since been suuerinz severe

Considerable excitement prevailed yester
day at the stockyards, on the occasion of
the assignee's sale of P. T. Sharp's property,
consisting ot horses, horned cattle, wagons,
etc The prices realized were yery fair, and
tbe property sold quite lively.
Politics is running high in Republican
ranks. There are one or more political
bosses in this city who desire to control the
delegates to the county convention; but
these should be relegated to the rear, and
receive no consideration from persons who
value tbe freedom of American institutions
Tbe East Oregon Republican is informed
tbat a landslide occurred on tbe IMgin
branch a few days ago in the Grande Ronde
canyon, workmen were sent out Dut it
seems that as fast as the obstruction was
removed, earth wonld slide in again and the
work was temporarily suspended and conse
quently all tramc has ceased tor a time.
Elgin is getting more than her share of
blockades this season, and it is hoped that
by these experiences they may be avoided
in future.
The Republican primaries will be held to
morrow in this county, and in The Dalles
polls will be open at 2 o'clock and close at

house; between Union and Jefferson, Bige
low, and the polling place is at Michell's
undertaking rooms, corner Third and Wash
ington; and east of Jefferson, East Dalles,
and .voting place at Wasco warehouse.
Quite a large audience was in attendance
last evening at the court bouse to hear tbe
lecture of Hon. A. G. Wolfenharger in
the cause of prohibition. The gentleman
fully discussed the questions of the day and
proved himself a strong Inend ot temper
ance. He denied the charges of being in
league with either the Republican or Demo
cratic parties, but seemed to bave a special
disliae for tbe present administration. The
nioeting closed with songs by Prof. Hnckins
and the usual collection, which is always
the principal part of Buch meetings. '
Albany Herald: Information was received
in this city last evening of the drowning at
Oakville Tuesday ' of Isaac Stone. On
Tuesday afternoon Stone told his wife that
he was going out lu a sain and would be
gone about two hours, dud not returning at
the expiration- of that time Mrs. Stone be
came alarmed and a search was instituted.
The boat was found upset and lodged some
distance down stcsam." All Tuesday night
and yesterday men were engaged iu drag
ging Muddy creek, but at last accounts
nothing further, had been found. . There
seems to be no doubt but he was drowned.
There are at present in circulation a great
many genuine $2 bills, which have been ma
nipulated so as to give the appearance of
being worth five times their actual value.
Tbe work in" reality is crude, but upon a
superficial examination such as is ordinarily
given in tbe coarse of trade would pass
easily. Tbe change is affected by pasting
over the number two wherever it -occurs,
and also upon tse word two, the words and
numbers ten. These are obtained from the
government stamps on cigar boxes, which
are well made and are themselves lathe
work. Tbe minute "twos" which occur
around the margin are carefully scratched
out, that unless a careful and close inspec
tion is made the receiver of such a bill
would suspect nothing wrong. ,
It is currently reported that Mr. G. J.
Farley, who bas assumed tbe position of.
Boss, made the statement to-day tbat be.
and be only, knew the names' of those who
would be en the county delegation from
this city, and that no one but himself
should have this information before Satur
day, the day of the primaries. "Boss"
Farley to-day gave an anxious inquirer a
very neat and exhaustive outline of the
programme which would be followed by the
county delegates in convention on the 26th.
He declined to name those who were to re
ceive the county nominations, with the ex
ception of County Clerk Uourlay, who be
said would be nominated ou the first ballot.
The balance of the county officers, it is un
derstood, "Boas" Farley will present to the
country, reserving, however, under any and
all circumstances, the state delegation, who
bave tbe nominating of the legislative
ticket. "

What is Good Baking- Powder?
New York Journal.
It is a well known fact that carbonate of
ammonia is used by bakers in the preparation
of the finest and most wholesome bread and
cake, and has been ' from lime immemorial.
It is among the oldest and at the same time
most healthful constituents of baking powders.
It is all evolved in gas by the heat of the
oven, and leaves no trace of itself in the food,
and it is this that gives it its great value as a
leavening agent in the opinions of physicians

Russians and Austrians Fighting.
Viehna, March 17. A dispatch from
Wieliczka, Galicia, states a conflict oc

possible to the bereaved relatives in then
sad affliction.
Union . Scout: A young girl from La
Grande arrived in Union last week and put
up at the Centennial hotel, registering as
Mrs. M. Grant, Portland.. She claimed to
be a widow, her husband having died about
three years ago, and that she came here for
her health. One day during the week she
claimed to have had her purse containing
$25 stolen from her room She left the
hotel and stopped for a day or two at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. J.- H. Corbin,
who took pity on her. One night during
the latter part of the week, howeyer, she
struck out for 'the depot on foot, and we
nnderstand she is now in Baker City. From
parties from La Grande we learn that the
gnl's name is Kennedy and that she is only
16 years of age. It is very evident that
she is not in her right mind or else that she
is beating her way. She never had any
money stolen from ber r at the hotel.
It is also learned that she is the girl whom
the man Bover, of L i Grande, was so in
fatuated with and who committed suicide
because sbe would not marry bim. It
would be well for the people of Baker City
to profit by the experience of some of our
citizens.

A deplorable accident occurred on Suo-
day resulting in the death of George, the
1 2-year-old too of S. M. Chase, residing ten
miles from towu. The lad was engaged
hauling a load of wood, and a log, upon
which he was setting, turning he was tbrown
under the feet of the horses. Tbe animal
thoroughly frightened became uncontrol
able, and starting to run, the loaded wagou
passed over the head of the boy, injuring
bim so severely that he lived but a shor
time after the accident. Tbe funeral of the
unfortunate boy took place the next day
The bereaved ftinily has the sympathy of
an entire community in the sad affliction
visiting them.
The thriving little town of Dufur is look
ing its best at the present time. The sur
rounding bills have donned their emerald
mantles; the wild flowers are in full bloom,
grand old Mt. Hood, so appropriately
called the bride of Heayen.in its pure white
robes, never presented a more beautiful or
inspiring appearance. The farmers are de-
lighted with the promises of abundant
crops, the outlook for a bountiful harvest
being better than known for years past.
The wonderful success attending Dr
Vanderpool in the treatment of cancer is
conclusive evidence that this dread malady
need no longer defy the efforts of the medi
cal fraternity to eradicate it from tbe (sys
tem of ' those so afflicted. Some may scoff
at the idea ot the possibility of cancer being
cured, but there are living witnesses to tes
tify to the fact, that it can be. At the
present time there are three patients here
under care of Mr. Vanderpool, the latest
being an elderly man, named Kelson, from
the Yakima country, suffering from a large
cancer on his face. Mrs Jenne, of Cottage
Groye, Lane county, is about cured, after
having been given up by other physicians,
and others who have been completely cured
bear cheerful testimony of the remarkable
success which Dr. Vanderpool meets.
Tbe ladies connected with the Methodist
church haye resolved to have an organ, and
with that end in view haye arranged to
give a sociable Friday evening, March 13th.
Those who attend may rest assured tbat
they will bave an enjoyable time at tbe
sociable, and the object in giving it should
insure a handsome contr ibution to the pro
posed organ fund.
Dufur is fortunate in tbe possession of one
of tbe best schools in tne county. The
attendance during the present term has
been 120, but now somewhat leas owing to
some of tbe pupils having to return home to
take up their parts in home duties. - Under
the intelligent management of. Professor
Frazer," the Dufur school is an entire suc
cess, a credit to the town and source of
pride to all who enjoy the advantages of
acquiring a practical aud useful education.
There is just a ripple of excitement re
garding political affairs. The Republican
primaries take ' place on Saturday aud do
doubt Dufur precinct will have a represent
ative delegation in the coming convention.
Dufur expects a place on the ticket' and if
good hard work will accomplish such a re
sult it will get tbere. This yioinity has
strong claim for recognition andis justly
entitled to it, and it remains to be seen if
such claim anil be ignored.
One of the attractive features of Dufur is
the weekly singing school, under the direc
tion of Willard Vanderpool, and the prog
ress made in this direction shows that the
young people of the town bave considerable
musicsl ability. Even the astute editor of
.the' Dispatch has become enamored with
the prevailing fad of voice calture and reg
ularly attends the singing bees m the hope
of yet being able to smooth over the rough
the afternoon by witnesses and friends of
young ' BelL Among those present were

What the Minnesota state Authorities
Know About Them.
St Paul, Minn., Pioneer Press.
If there is a doubt in anybody's mind as
to the quality of the various baking pow
ders of the market, it will be settled by the
evidence giyen upon the subject by the
state officials of Minnesota. Tbe dairy and
food commission and the state chemist are
the highest official authorities upon sue
subjects in this state, and their evidence
will be accepted as disinterested and un
prejudiced. It is their business to examine
the quality of the different food products,
and to suppress the sale of those found im
pure and unwholesome, and all will admit
that they bave performed their duties with
out fear or favor.
At a recent examination by a legislative
committee to determine the qualities of the
various baking powders sold iu Minnesota,
state chemist and analyst to the food and
Dairy commissioner, Dr. Charles W. Drew.
gave the following evidence: i
Quea. Dr. Drew, I Bee by the report of
the dairy and food commission of tbis state
that in making analyses of tbe various bak
mg powders of the country you report as a
result of your work that the Royal Baking
Powder contains and gives off in baking t
greater per cent of carbonic acid eas (leaV'
ening gas) than any other baking powder
made; is that true?
Ans. Yes, sir; that is a fact.
Ques. Doctor, you also found from i
periment tbat the Royal Baking Powder
will keep longer and retain its qualities
better than any other powder made, did you
not?
Ans. Yes, sir; I think it does.
Ques. Now, the most desirable qualities
in baking powder are the amount of carbon'
ic acid eas it contains and gives off and tbe
length it will keep, are they not?
Ans. Yes, sir.
Ques. Then the Royal Baking Powder,
possessing these qualities, is the best pow
der made, is it not? ', ,
Ans. Well, tbat would be the natural
conclusion.
i
Ques. Well, tbat is the fast, is it not?
Ans. Yes, I think it is. I consider it
one of the best baking powders made.
, Troublesome Hoboes.
The following from the Pendleton East
Oregonian shows that the tramp nuisance is
a terrible affliction to that city: -,
The hoboes visiting Pendleton at present
are plying their favorite trade of stealing,
with begging as a side issue. . L. B. Jay's
room in the Wheeler building was broken
into about 12 o'clock Wednesday, his trunk
i ransacked, and bedding and clothes stolen.
The robbery was discovered, and the "lift
er" was soon safely under lock and key.
John Davies, whose room in the old Golden
Rule was entered and a suit of clothes stol
en, succeeded in capturing tbe culprit.
Near the Sisters' school Wednesday fore
noon, while on bis rounds with his express
wagon, be saw, among a number of other
"bums," a young fellow wearing a new suit,
suspiciously like the one stolen. He drove
quickly back to town, and went out again
with Deputy Sheriff Johnson. In the
meantime the tourists had taken flight.
Davies and Deputy Sheriff Hailey started
in pursuit, the former up the main Union
Pacific line and tbe latter up the Spokane
branch. Dayies came up with tbe boy with
the suit and an older companion in the
brush about three miles above the agency.
They were not disposed to be taken and he
had to use a pistol as a persuader. By this
means he brought them back to town with
out difficulty.. The thief is a youth named
Charles Reding, about eighteen years old.
A hobo or two among the number who late
ly struck the town were placed under ar
rest Wednesday night for vagrancy and
begging. ' -
It was not generally known that the rea
son that Mr. Carnegie remained over an
hour or more at The Dalles was because he
desired-to construct tbe steel bridge across
the Columbia to the North Dalles from this
city. We do not eay that he received tbe
contract, and it, is very probable he did
not; because, we belieye, from a careful ex
amination of tbe matter, that the infant
just born will not live long enough to wit
ness an iron or steel bridge across the Co
lumbia at this point. Notwithstanding
every resident of The Dalles knows tbat
this North Dalles land boom is the wildest,'
most nefarious scheme that was ever con
cocted, yet tbe unprincipled "boomers"
have recommendations from leading citi
zens, and some ot the statements pub
lished regarding this pile of rocks
and sand dunes in Washington contain
more unblushing falsehoods than ever Baron
Maunchausen attempted to perpetrate,
"Chickens come home to roost," and already
Tbe Dalles bas suffered in various ways by
countenancing tbis dishonest land-seljing
scheme.
