One of the most pleasant features of the Teachers' Institute just held at The Dalles was the reception given by Mrs. Geo. P. Motgan but evening at ber residence.

Tbis was ear y oo Tuesday, and men and teams were sent out at once to capture and bring the escaped hack. Tuesday night the hogs left in the enclosure her.-, baying rested fiom their long walk, became lonesome, and possi' ly hungry and dry, broke out of the enclosure, and took to the woods also.

Editor IniES-MonsTAisssa: Unquestionably it is true that location has much to do with the prosperity ot a community. The man who attempted to establish a great city upon the top of an in accessible mountain would have bis labor for his pains, while there are locations des tined by natnre fur the home of busy mil lions and the transaction of the world's bus iness, lhat is all. true enough; but it is also true that a town is largely what it's people make it. If the leading citizens of 1 he Dalles are public spirited and enterpris ing,- proud ot their town and anxious to ad vance its interests and give it a name abroad, it will grow. It will have fine buildings, well paved streets, all the modern conveniences, etbcient aud honest adminis tration. Business men will be attracted from abroad, while those who were born here will inveat their capital in varied en terprises, ine town win bave no boom. but it will advance steadily and surely. Public spirit, at brst confined to a tew, will advance nntil every man, woman and child will believe their town the best in tbe world, and will be eager to labor and make sacrifices on its behaif. I have been in al most every town of the Pacibc northwest. Sad pardon me if I tell yon the troth. . The citizens of Tbe Dalles, unlike any other- place I have visited, are to-day standing in their own light in more ways than one. If they wonld direct their energy aud capital to the building of manufactories and the development oi miuerals rroundwg The Dalles,tbey wonld work more in conjunction with your railroad to build and establish a permanent trade, a trade that would justify another road or a b-earn boat line as tne case might be. The feeling against the road here is quite perteptible and will, in turn, resnlt in no good. How much better it looks to capital where you see a town, the masses of which work in conjunction witn the iuuus tries ot tbe town. If a railroad is no bene fit to The Dalles, as I bave beard it said it wasn't, tbe railroad would serve them right by completely ignoring them; for if the road does not benefit Tbe Dalles the people ot t he Dalles are to blame and not the road; because if you do not help the road to sue. cess the road certainly will not help the town. On the other hand, I do not see huw a towu that owes toe railroad compauy as ii uch as does The Dalles could expect half as much as they are uow receivinu from them. Understand, .1 am not talk ng for railrords but for the prosperity of your town. Without the assistance of the road. in a general way, I don't belie e The Dalles will ever amouut to as much as it does to-! day, notwithstanding you may soon expect a nayigante river iroiu rurtianu. viutil you more thoroughly encourage, railroads , in tbeir building, you can never expect the surrouudiug country -to fill up; hence you cannot, for a long time to come, expect -town of .even half the population of The. Dalles to exist simply on au optn river. If yn-j would have deep water vessels come to I he Dalles you must certainly bave some thing to bring them here.. If the. leading citizens care nothing tor their town; it they cover themselves with selfishness as with a cloak; it they inveat their n.oney in steam boats for the purpose of opposing the only mdustry the U. P. Rsilway the town af fords, or if tney invest their money in gov ernment bonds or other, safe securities; if they reiuse to lift their hands toward promuting Wi - interests of the town;; if tbey discourage those who want to engage in man ufacturing enterprising; if tbey divide tbeir time equally between eating, sleeping and gossiping, And are supremely indifferent to the v. el rare of their poor neighbors, or char itable after the old fashioned methods, Which do infinite, barm and no good, then Tne Dalles la domed, and the m n who care fur none of those things are responsible for. its undoing. 1 be Dalles may make a very good residence for gentlemen of leisure, hut the man who haa a family to. keep by daily labor wants to get out of it as soou as possi-' ble. : J,very man owes a duty to the cum in unity of wbi:h be is a member. He sbonld realize that fact, and endeavor by setting a good example to stir up his neighbors. Wheu all realize tbia aud atop tbe lossil wbo-writes unsavory pieces against the rail road that supports y. ur town we will ere long be a prosperous community A Mas. .

Tbe temperature bas been about normal for this time of year, the extremes ranging from 41 to 85 : degrees'. Of sun shine there was plenty during the week. In short, the-weather has been very propi tious to farm operations and no immedi -ate nor decided change in the present conditions is desired . by the farmers of Eastern Oregon. .This year is said to be tbe i 'est in a Ions time for burning? of slashed lands, which is being vigorously pushed, and, as a result, a mantle ol dense smoke now covers this whole section. CroDs rbresuine operations are now in full blast m most counties. In Grant county tbe prospects for wheat are said to be good, while in Baker county wheat is turning out from 20 to 45 bushels per acre. Tbe general tone of tbe reports con cerning the wheat crop is more cheerful. What little nay yet remains to be cut is being harvested with great activity, tbe weather being exceptionally fine. Very little change is noted in the condition of fruit as compared, with laSt week. In some counties it is said to be looking well.

Saul' Bra. Marie, Mich., Sept. 1 The fish tne T M. B A. arrived in town to-night, having as a passenger Harry Stewart, of Algenac, Mich., the wheel man and only survivor of tbe mammoth steel steamer Western Reserve, which foundered about 9 A..M. Tuesday, 60 miles above White Fish point, while en route to Eeewana. The Western Reserve left the "Soo" Tuesday, having on board as passengers Captain M.DCh, tbe owner, his wife, children and sister-in-law. be ide the rtsu'ar crew of 22 hands. The rest of the steamer's History Is short, and tbe fatality is best told in the words of Stewart, tbe only survivor ot the terrible disaster: . ' . '-Everything went well until about 60 miles above White Fish point, when tbe first warning of impending danger was a terrible crash, caused by the huge cratt breaking it two. She took water fast and the yawl boats were lowered. Captaiq Minch, bis family, the i fficers and the crew to tbe number of 17, got into the woo lea yawl and the others took the metallic one. The Reserve sank in 10 minn'e?, and before she was out ot sight the metallic yawl capsized. The other boht succeeded in rescuing two of the occupants and tbe 19 sur vivors started for White Fish point, 60 miles away. A considerable sea blew up, but tbe vawl . weathered the breakers all night and until 7 o'c'ock the next morning. When about 10 miles from life Saving station No. 10, and about a mile from shore, it capsized. Stewart says he saw none of the occupants after wards. The cries of tbe childreo, tbe screaixs of tbe women and tbe moaning of the men was terrible for c few mo ments. Stewart struck for the shore, and after two hours in the water landed about 10 miles above the station. He had to walk there before reaching anyone who was abie to render him any assis tance. A search failed to find a trace of any other survivor of the wreck and there seems to be no question tbat all were drowned. THREE BODIES RECOVERED. Deer Park, Sept. 1. Three bodies and the vawl from tbe wrecked steamer Western Reserve were cast up by waves near here to day One of the bodies was that of Captain Mincb. Be was identi fied by a watch found on his person The two other bodies are unidentified, one being tbat of a pretty dark haired lady. ' 1 I sin j The Proclamation. Washington, Sept. 1.

I., says: "Maracaibo on the northwest, like Puerto Cabello on the north, and Cuidad Bolivar on the Orinoco river, has fallen into the hands of the Venez uelan rebels. This exciting news reached here to night from Caracas, and with it came the still more sensational announcement that Luciand Mendoza bas declared himself dicta tor of Venezuela, thus seeking to oust Gen eral Urdanta, who himself took command of the fleet which was dispatched to retake Pu erto Cabello. As soon as Urdanta's fleet had sailed Mendoza announced himself as ruler, and established a new government over Ven ezuela. As a preliminary step to assuming the dictatorship, he first had ex-President Villegas : thrown into prison, and then issued decree expelling him from the country. Residents of - Caracas are said to be thor oughly frightened by the situation. The city is almost, in a condition of anarchy. The situation fills the foreign residents with alarm, and the legation houses of foreign ministers are being besieged by foreigners who insist that their governments shall send warships to Venezuelan waters to protect their interests. Ministers resident in Caracas have cabled their governments, asking further protection. It is expected' that General Crespo will shortly make his attack on the capital." .
