' Justice courts appear to be busy these

making tbe round trip of eighteen miles in

that he could make the round, trip in even
two hours, and be would havo won bad he
not ttrack some sand. He proposes to
make Pendleton on his safety, sixty miles
from here, in ten hours. This is pretty fast
traveling,' bat Harry thinks' he can make it
easily.
Tbe thoroughbred American, John Stock-
quehne. who did tbe snooting niouaay
night, was examined before Justice Schutz
this afternoon for the crime. As far as we
could ascertain the Indian was very much
inebriated, and .emptied his pistol in true
cowboy style. The case was prosecuted

the evidence possible brought out in the
case. He waa held in tbe sum of $100 to
answer the crime before tbe grand jury.

from -tbe remarks of tbe Head Consul
that tbe order Is purely beneficial in its
object, and now n amber 52,000 in the

young in years ; but it possesses all tbe

. Baker Democrat: A serious accident
- and one which came nearly proving fatal,
occurred at. the Nelson placer mine, on
'-. Salmon creek, Wednesday night. . The
. Chinaman who runs the monitor in some
msnner dropped tbe nozzle, and before
be bad time to say "Jack Robinson" be
was flying through tbe air with tbe ve
locity of a Kansas cyclone. Several of
bis brother Mongolians who saw tbe ac
cident immediately turned off tbe water
and a search for the unfortunate man fol
lowed. When found be was lying in an
unconscious ' . condition with one leg
; broken, and besides receiving several bad
bruises on the body bis bead was severely
cut, and itis'said tba he could not have
looked more mutilated if a Comanche
"iujun" had been operating with a scalp
ing knife." Fortunately the Chinaman
was not struck with the fall lorce of tbe
water, as in such case it would have been
difficult to find enough of tbe wbite wage
earner's destroyer to have bad a . first
class funeral. . :

"Sheepman's Guide." which can be procured
on application to Kosbland Bros., general
agents, Portland, Oregon, or to Wm. Cooper
& Nephews, Galveston, Texas. It contains
much useful information condensed into
readable form by tbe proprietor. Sufficient

any other,' was sold last year to dip th6
enormaas number of 90,000,000 sheep,
which goes to prove its great popularity all
over the world. Messrs. A. M. Williams &

St. Helens Mist: Three yonng boys who
went from this place to. Multnomah rails
fast Saturday on the excursion failed to
turn. They are Tom Muokle, Nick Suud
by and Ed Hay burn. ' It seems that these
three had planned to "hit the road" for
thfeir health, and had prevailed on a nam'
ber of- other boys to' accompany them on
their ' ioarney hence, bat without effect.
Tbe three are about 17 years old each,-and
have been practically doing for themselves
for some time, working for a salary and ap
propriating it to suit themselves, conse-

fident that he would be exhonerated by the
grand iury. Mr. Force is at work at the
Virtue mine, while Mr. Cool has returned
to his home in Pine Valley.
Eugene Reyister: The destructive little
codlin moth is already at work in tbe ap
ples, and the chances are that bv tbe time
the winter apples are ripe the codlin moth
will have them pretty well eaten up. An
inspection of almost any apple tree will
show that where two apples touch each
other the codlin moth baa begun bis work
and is boring into them. So far as we can
learn, but little spraying baa been done in
the country to dispose of these pests or to
check their destructive work. Something
must be done to rid the orchards of them or
in a year or two the apples will be worth
leas. Tbe town cotr held a convention at the
city pound tbe other day. She came in the
aggregate and stayed till the end of business
hour. An expression of the sentiment ot
tbe convention seemed to be that the cow
town laws which throw the poor cows upon
the mercies of a heartless world are a de
lusion and a snare and ongbt to be skinned j
alive. Dallas Transcript. The Dalles
would be a magnificent place, by reason of
its envirement, for such a convention.
These cows have become a great nuisance in
this neighborhood, and any plan by which
they coold be kept away from gardens and
shade trees would be a matter of congratulation..

Efforts have leen made in the eastern
states to induce people to purchase land
on tbe opposite side of the river, in the
rocks and sand dunes of Rockland,
Wash., and we are sorry to learn that this
"boom" is being carried on by some min
isters of the gospel. To give our citizens
an idea of the- means employed we are
requested to publish the subjoined letters
to members of some of the fraternal or
ganizations in The Dalles:
Dover, 111., April 25, 1892.
Brother As I have heard considera
ble about Grand Dalles, Washington,
which lies just across the river from The
Dalles, Oregon, through a real estate
agent near here, 1 write to you to asu
what kind of a country it is around there ?
How wide is the valley from the river to
the moantains? Is U a good fruit coun
try? Is it a farming country ? About how
much rainy weather do you have a year ?
What Is land worth eight or ten miles
Irom the river at that point T How large
a place is Grand Dalles? Is there much
coal near there ? Is there much timber
near-there ? What wages do carpenters,
masons and common laborers get a day?
Is there prospects of another railroad to be
built there this year?
Hoping that I bave not asked too many
questions, and hoping to bear from you I
remain yours in F. L. T1-, J. L. K. -This
was answered truthfully, the facts
given regarding defunct shoe factory and
the barren, desolate spot on tbe north side
of the river, and the following reply was
received :
Dover, 111., May 7, 1892.
Dear Sir and Bro. I received yours
of April 30th in answer to mine of 25th,
aqd contents noted. I thank you very
much lor the information given. I take
this liberty to seek more information. I
sent you to-day under another cover some
of the circulars they are circulating here
in regard to Grand Dalles. I tell you.
Bro., I had already invested before I
wrote you (as a good many others have
done around here). This, referring to a
printed circular is the Congregational
preacher here, and that is why I bit.
Tbey claim that there is a large shoe fac -
tory built on the ground now, all fitted
with machinery ready for operation ; also
claim that there is a corset and suspender
factory there now in operation employing
thirty hands ; also lots of lumber on the
ground now for buildings, and thirty or
forty families living there; they also
claim that they are now sinking a shaft
in tbe center of the townsite, and have
discovered silica the thickness of thirty
feet, also large quantities of coal, iron, as
bestos, and also claim the townsite is ap
parently level and ample room for a'town
of 250,000 inhabitants. Claim that the
bank on that side of riyer is perpendicu
lar, so that boats drawing deep water can
land up close, while on The Dalles side
they say there is a sand bar which runs out
and ocean boats cannot get near the land.
They were selling lots from $350 down to
65,but on May 2d they claim to put them
at $700 and the $100 raised to $150. Those
are the prices mine are. They claim here
that tbe people at The Dalles made light
of their proposed city, and now they
have found such great discoveries ot rich
mineral that they want to keep it a secret
from .the people in The Dalles and the
west I think it looks considerable like
spite work or a swindle. I think the
more after I bave bought than I did be
fore. The agent here at Princeton claims
to have sold $15,000 worth in this vicinity,
so I am not alone. Now, Bro., you see
how the "boom" is showed np here. I
think if it was one-tenth part as much as
they claim you could see it across the
river, as they say it is only 1800 feet, and
that there is a natural pier in the -river
where tbey expect to build their railroad
across. Now, Brother, as I honestly be
lieve that you told me the truth of the
thing before, I want to ask one favor.
Would you have any objection to baying
tbe contents of your letter published here
in the county paper. Of course I would
leave out that it came through a secret
order. 1
Hoping to bear from you, 1 remain
your etc ' ' J : J. L. K
Tbe following was received by a mem
ber of another order, and was answered
in the same truthful manner as tbe first
thins his race is abont ran. W hen 1 was
trying to settle op with him the past week
wbat did they mean when I was approached
by one of them and asked, if I would keep
my mouth shot if they would get my money
for me. Why keep my month shut if
things were all right? That savors of "ways
that are dark aud tricks that aro vain" on
the rjart of Tavlor and all the rest ot tne
Bros. Some ot these dear Bros,, who have
invested. so heavily, had their stock given
to them. Taylor defrauded me out of $338.
Said he never owed it to me, and in a paper
I hold signed by his representative, after
swindling me out of my two silica claims,
he (Taylor) says, on the sale of these silica
claims I will pay yon from the proceeds tbe
sum of $338. Why does he give it to me if
he don t owe it? Why not give it to lorn,
Dick or Harry? This whole business is rot
ten to tbe core, and a day will shortly come
when you will bear something "drap.

LADY ANALYSTS,
They Flay tne Same Trifles Kesorted
to Here and jiet Cauglit.
The Portland Oregonian gives the follow
ing amusing account of a lady expert, or can
vasser, who was playing the house-to-house
sample test dodge in that city:
The city for several days has been can
vassed by a company of women who have
called at private residences for the ostensible
purpose of explaining the superior merits of
their baking powder through a scries of al
leged chemical experiments. A lady who
has been annoyed by the agents determined
to test the efficacy of the experiments, and she
brought out some of the baking powder which
they are advertising. The agent submitted
the substance to the usual tests and called the
lady's attention to the presence of alum, am
monia and various other alleged ingredients,
which could be distinguished bv the peculiar
odor, the residum, etc. The lady of course
saw all these unmistakable signs of .so-called
impurities, and allowed the agent- full swing
to expand upon the merits of her own cook
ing powder. The agent finally inquired of
the lady what brand of bakin? powder she
had been experimenting with. "That baking
powder," replied the lady, "is the same that
you have been cracking up so high." The
agent turned all colors, and beat a hasty re
treat. . Our informant has not been bothered
with baking powder agents since.

Dkak Bro f would like to make some
inquiries regarding; Grand Dalles, Wash
How large is the place, how many stores
and what is the population? 'Are there
any factories located there ? How wide is
tbe yalley at that place? How many rail
roads are there running into the place
are there any building from or to the
place? the country adapted for raising
fruit f Are there any boats running on the
river? On which -side of the river is the
projected boat railroad from Celilo "falls
to be built? I understand there is to be
built a boat-railway from Dalles rapids to
Celilo falls and an appropriation made
by the .last, congress. ' is there a stage
line running from Grand Dalles?. Would
you consider it a good investment to in
vest in town lots in Grand Dalles? Is the
country surrounding Grand Dalles set?
tled?
G3 Dalles is boomed by agents in
our, Canity. Would like to know what
th-place is, and yon will confer a favor

on a orotner tinigm dv replying to inese
questions. Tbe town is supposed to be
opposite your town. One more question :
Is there a shoe factory in Grand Dalles?
I am yours in F. C. B. H. P. VV
It is a shame that people in the eastern
states should be deluded info investments
by schemes which wonld hardly be toler
ated at a gambling table.and it is unchris
tian for our citizens not to tell the facts
regarding tbis land "boom," which we
consider the worst of any eyer perpetrated
in the northwest. There are no railroads
built or In contemplation that would have
a terminus in the so-called Grand Dalles,
and the glass factory (on paper only) is
another "bait" to delude eastern peo
ple into purchasing lots. The soil is com
posed principally of rocks and'sand, and
there are only a few spots on which ' any
vegetables will grow. The Dalles, on the
Oregon side of the river, is the natural
town site, and needs no false representa
tions to induce settlement; but it suffers
from these nefarious methods employed
by land-boomers. .
Something "Draps,"
The Dalles, June 29, 1892.
Editor Tnus-MouHTAnnuntt
I waa amused at the fraternal letter of
Bro. Bnrnaide which appeared in the Chron
icle. Any one reading between the lines
could readily see it was done to counteract
my influence, and to bolster np O. D. Tay
lor on his regular trip east. This thing has
about petered out now with him. First the
argument used to sell lots at Grand Dalles
was the beanty of the location, etc.. That
worked well for a time tbe people east
got tired of hearing that, so tbe fruit busi
ness was sprang pa them, and that sold a
tew more. .. Then the mineral wealth of
Grand Dalles is being-worked np, and Tay
lor has lately started east with a glass fac
tory buzzing in bis bat, and the money he
swindled me out of is paying his expenses.
When -a minister (God save the mark) is
driven to such extremities as to tell bis
flock at the regular Friday night prayer
meetuig not to believe any thing the un
godly (that's me) snpuld say about him
apd I shall only tell tbe tnith he must
Sudden Death.
Mrs. M. C. Rogers, relict of the late Mr.
Alex Rogers and mother of Mrs. YV. Birg
f eld, died snddenly .Thursday morning at
about half past 6 o'clock. She was taken
suddenly sick about 5 o'clock, and
word was sent to Dr. O. C. Hollister. He
immediately, repaired to the residence of
Prof. Birgteld, with whom she was living;
but she was ' dead when he arrived. As
the doctor was entering the house he could
hear her heavily breathing; but she ex
pired before he could gain the room where
she lay. The cause of death was apolexy,
which usually terminates fatally in a abort
time. She was aged about 50 years, and
has resided in this vicinity for a long num
ber of years. Mrs Rogers leaves two
daughters both married and two sons to
mourn her sudden departuie. Hizhlv re
spected as an intelligent lady by her ac
quaintances, her demise will be mourned by
a large circle of friends. The funeral will
take place next Sunday when it is expected
the different members of tbe family will be
present.
The Official Vote.
According to the law, Wednesday, the
secretary of state, in the presence of Gover
nor Pennoyer, made the official canvass ot
the vote of the late state election for tbe
state, congressional, district and joint offi

The dusky maids and gallants of the dif
ferent neighboring tribes are engaging in
their annual dance on the Columbia river
below Ames' and Gillenwater's ranches.
We were not fortunate enough to get a view
of the dance. Two of our townsmen, Dr
Presby and G. F. McKiunev, were highly
entertained by the maneuvres of the primi
tive gypsies last Sunday.
The festivals are held in a lone wigwam
and are thoroughly democratic, every one
allowed to participate.' A hnge fire is built
in the centre of the tent. The dancers de
scribe all the different figures known to tbe
mystic circle, to the 31ft melpdies produced
by the harmonious blcndings of a tin pan
and a cow bell. Tho daik eyed beiutits
advance, retreat, oliait aud awins;, etc ,
thus keeping the gallant si wash in dcubt
whether she will swing or put. .
Our informant says that the promiscuous
bathing at the nd of e;icli change is nee of
the leading features of the fandango. The
forest belles robed 10 the picturesque cos
tumes of Adam aud Efe in the garden cf
Eden, tumble into tbe "Oregon," remain in
the cooling waters a few moments, then re
turn to the hop.

Everett, Wash., June 29. William
Ritchie was killed in Ed. Smith's logging

an inquest unnecessary.
