Mr. C. W. Rice, who has just returned
from a trip into the country, says in the
southeastern portion ot Wasco the ground

proceeds wul be used towards inrnishiog
poor children witb suitable remembrances

very commendable object, and should re
ceive liberal patronage
The Christmas holidays are approach'
lng, and all are anxiously examining
suitable presents tor loved ones; but lu
this season of joy and git's, those who are
not fortunate enough to have mothers.
' fathers, sisters or brothers to k'adly re
member them should not be forgotten
Christinas tide should inaugurate the
reig ot peace, good will and uuiversal
charity.
The telegram received from Seoutor
. Dolph relieved a great anxiety regarding
the status or the locks tell by our people.
There is sucb a jealous interest fell in
this work that the least suspicion ot un
necessary delay causes an anxious fear.
The people of tbe Inland Empire have
' pinned their faith to au open river, and
uniil ibis is accomplished all otiier mat

'' Rev. Mr. Nutting, of Seattle, is creating
Quite a ripple of interest in a crusade
agaiusl tbe saloons, lie proposes the es
tablishment of coffee bouses in tbe gro
cery stores where men who bave no fam
ilies can go and imbibe conee. nome men
we are of the opinion would consider it
rather a poor substitute, and men 'who
have been accustomed to take something
stronger will not take to it very willingly.
Ellensburgh Localizer The bed rock
flume it is expected will develop great
wealth. Wln-reyer it strikes tbe old chan
nel the pay will be big. This flume may
be tbe means of bringing to view the
mother lode, wbicb is undoubtedly fabu
lously itch.- Quite a number of large
nuggets bave been taken out of tbe
Swauk. We call to mind one of $700,
one of $444. one of $400. one of $300 and
from that down to $70, $.2 and $o.
We are glad to be able to contradict
tbe report mat twoot Mr. McCornack's
cbildieo ba I died of scarlet fever i'be
little girl, Frances, aged aboni 9 ears,
died Sunday morning at 10 o'clock; but
tbe inlant boy, about 1 jear o.d. Is im
proving. Tbe affliction is very sad as it
Is; but it is not as severe as it but- weie
taken. There is do panic at Palnnse City
, in regard to scarlet lever, and the d.s a-e
bas not become epidemic.
Albany Herald: Coyotes, which were
Once so destruouva to sheep lutdreata, are
not very numerous in Oregon now, these
little wolves Having been killed off and
hundreds of dollar baying been paid oat
for their sca ns A large healthy coyote
was seen a few days ago on the farm of W
H. Thompson near Albany. Sme boys
' bred at ic at Ionic range wi h a shot gnu,
iv and bis wobship was chased off by dog. .
Baker Democrat: John Williams, who
it was suspicioued assisted the two youug
calf thieves, Fowler and Howard, to es
cape from the officers, was taken in charge
yesterday by the sheriff and is now in
limbo. Williams will receive attention
, by tbe grand jury as it is almost certain
that evidence will be brought out that
will show his implication with more or
. less stock stealing in this section tor a
long time past, He bas for a year or two
been the head of tbe Fowler-rioward
gang, at least stock men think so.
I. W. Miller, tbe Union county man
who bas been searching tirelessly many
months for bis lost girl, was in Pendleton
Monday evening, says the tost Oregonian.
Mr. Miller now has a clue and hopes that
his child may soon be restored to him
He thinks Bhe bas been kidnapped hy
gypsies and is somewhere in tbo neigh
borhood of Cbelialis, Wash. Tbe anxious
father has traveled miles and miles in his
bunt. He bas been in many parts of Ore
. gon.Wushington and Idaho and bas seven
times crossed tbe Bl'ie mountains. Six
saddle horses bave given out wiln him.
and Mr. Miller himself looks as though
he were badly in need of rest.
Coyote scalps are the source of dis
agreement between our county board and
some of our citizens, says the Prineville
Hem. The county ought to pay a reason
able bounty for the destruction of these
rmg-sireaked-ann-slriked imps of perdi
tion. It would not be extravagance, for
every time oue of them kills a sheep he
knocks a hole in tbe sum total of tbe
next year's tax roll. Neither .o wjb think
it can be cai'ed class legislation on tbe
pretext that sheep men are ibe only direct
lieoeflciaries. They are not. Tbe farmer
who loses a pig or a half dozen chickens
could pay therewith his portion ot the re
ward lor quite a number ot these four
footed bandits.
A visit to the sheriff's office yesterday
nfiernooii revealed the fact thai a vocal
concert was in progress in lb: corridor of
the jail adjoining. Tbe plaintive tones
of "When other lips and other torgues,
their songs of love shall tell" was rudely
broken into by "Rally aroung tbe Flag,
boys." and this by "Tell me tbat you loye
me once again;" while in another part
broke in a deep bass voice "America is
the gem of the ocean," ei It formed a
novel entertainment to one who studied
human nature from an ordinary every-day
standpoint, and proved the fact tbat love
unlocks all doors, for even in the gloomy
recesses inclosed within prison bars the
tender passion is uppermost in song and
sentiment
A night or two ago, while a dance was
in progress at tbe Gillett place on Tutu
Willow, says the B. O , three drunken In
dians appeared and took an active part n
the fes'ivuies wiibout any pressing invi
tation, being armed and bent on mischief.
They broke up tbe dance, compelled Ibe
ladies present to sing for ihem, and car
- ried th ngs with a high band, pistols be
mg trumps. Subsequently, while Dirk
Nye and the violinist were going home,
the Indians made a delour, beaded them
off, and every now and then pointed
weapons at the young men's heads in a
familiar sort of way, just to indicate that
they were brave warriors and would just
as soon take a scalp as to skin a dead
.sxbeep. Dick intends to carry an arsenal
jbeeafter. , .
frtneville New; This bas been an
autumn abundant in prospect.. The old
tradition jsf East Oregonians that a cer
tain amount of falling weather must be
.experienced .between the equinoxes has
Jbeea gratified by the amount of ram and
(transient snow already fallen bere. It
lends a hope, perhaps not well founded,
that the vigors of the present month and
fit the two jftrat months of foe coming
year may not be so severe as if the fall
bad been less stormy. The ground bas
been so thoroughly soaked that tbe prom-
ise of good crop yields next year seems
brignt, a d, Barring tne untoward circum
stances of tbe past summer will doubtless
be realized. stocK are yet reeding upon
the ranges.where tbe rains have continued
! good pasturage for tbem. Thus it will be
seen 'hut we of tbe huocbgrass bave good
canst at present to feel confident for the
winter.

Baker City Blade: Deputy Sheriff Ken-
nisou left ou last eveuiug's tram tor S-tiein,
having in charge three persons wbo are go
ing to Salem for the benefit of their health,
viz: Jnbu Kelly, larceny, one year; E. P.
Perry, larceny, one yer; John Williams,
larceny, three years If all reports are true
there will be another exodus in a few days.
Tbe eity jail was remarkable for its lack
ol occupants this morning, and this is con-
cla ive evideoce that a quiet night was
passed; for . the police force thorough y
patrols the city, and gather the aimless
wanderers into the calaboose. If the jail
is ouly occupied occasionally it is mucb
better for the peace and quiet and the
poise of tax payers tbau if it were full of
evilx'oers every day. ,
We are informed that instructions have

Mr. W. F. Stevenson, wbo left this city
last summer fui San Francisco, IJalif., to
receive from the government aueot there a
back pension amounting to $10,000, was
sadlv disappoint1'. After reselling lbs bay
uuv he learued tbat the act had passed; but
that the convressmao from his district in
Onto had the bill referred to tbe committee
on pensions, and it is doubtful when it will
be passed upon again.

A Palem dispatch says: From talks with
members of tbe legislature, it is learned an
effort will be made at tbe coming session to
establish a jute factory at the state prison
for the manufacture of grain sacks for the
farmers ot Oregon. This, it is said, would
save them thousands of dollars annually,
and the. feeling seems to be that no trouble
will be bad in pausing the law. It won d
n quire an appropriation of about $75 000
to put a factory uuder way,
Gov. Pennoyer is extending his pardoning
power to pruone s in county jule, as the
following tiora the Salem Statesman will
prove: "On recoinmeudatiou of Judge Bur
uett yesterday tbe governor granted a full

uot oe compelled to serve out the three
mouth in the couoty jul to which he was
sentenced October 50. h. for ssstult with a
iaugerona weapoo upon Mrs. Kuriz, living

Rosehurg Review: G H. Pitts and
El wards Bro-., ..f Oak Grove, shipped a

The B attle Telegraph says L. S J Hunt,
of the Post Intelligencer, bas been buncoed
out ot $75,000 by purchasing a salted gVd
mine, lne quartz was brought from the
Coeur d'AUne, placed in tbe mine aud paid
well, but after it was worked up the mine
did not pay, so an luvtatigition was bad
with the result tiiat Mr. Hunt was so much
out. It most have bee i a rare expert wr.o
could not tell tbe difference between ore
frum the mine and quartz that came from
auother locality, but maybe the expert was
in it. '
The 400 of Tacoma decline to furnish the
names of their guesta at every ptrty and
hall they give, says an exchauge. It has
become so common for the "society" re
porter to publish tbe nmes of everybody
wbo attends a shindig tbat tbe aristocracy
prefer in future to be conspicuous by their
absence in the pages of tbe newspapers.
There is getting to be too mucb snobbery
anyhow among tbe American people, aud
tbe columns which should be devoted to
news are tilled with the veriest trash taken
from hotel register or those who are ambi
tious of continually seeing their names in
print.
Exchange: There is an item going the
rounds ol tbe easte: n press to the effect that
an Orexon newspaper ma i has 4000 cords of
wood due him for subscription. We know
the mau; he got really hungry tbe other
day, and had to break up bis empty chicken
coop for firewood to boil a champion hig
potato left witb him by a delinquent sub
scriber fast fall.
Footpads are becoming bold in Pendleton,
and Tuesday evening, says tbe Tribune, at
7:30 o'clock, as Miss Neva Lam was return
ing home from a shopping expedition, she
noticed a maa following her. Sue quickened
ber step- but was overtaken at the corner
of tbe Presbyterian sburcb and ber hand
bag wrenched from her arm. Sbe gave tbe
alarm, and S. P Hutchison came out from
bis house, but could find no trace ot the
robber. The bag contained but $5 in cash
and a few trinkets. -
Salem Statesman: O le wbo is in close
ton eh witb Governor Pennoyer saya bis ex
cellency bas already commenced work on
his biennial message, and be further states
of
that tbe document is going to be a shoulder
striker, so to speak. Oolv one or two para
graphs of it are completed even in the
rough, hut in them the governor urges it
upon tbe legislature as being tbe duty of
that body to knock out tbe gold clause
The governor is right after tbe gold
bugs and bis last message is going to define
his position with a olearness that is unmis
takable. He also, but rather between the
lines, sugg sts that it wouldn't be a bad
thing to let the Oregon National guard also
drop into tbe waste basket. The goyernor
says his message will be short, and if all
signs do not fail it will be sweet as well.
The West Coast Mail sayi the following

A Portage Eailrsad.
Mr. Paul F. Mohr, the projector ot this
portage road o be built Irom Columbus
to a point opposite Crate's point in Wash
ington, took the afternoon train to-day.
In a few moments1 cenversatioo with bim
at the hotel prior to tbe departure of tbe
train a Times Mouktaineek reporter
learned Ibat tbe object of tbe company
was to construct and operate a railroad in
Washington between the points named,
and work will be begun as soon after
Dec 28 h as tbe contract can be let. Tbis
will take about five months in building,
and it is expected to have trains running
by the first of July. Mr. Mohr la an air
table gentleman, and answered all ques
tions frankly aud fully. If boats cannot
be procured to operate in conjunction
with tbe portage road, a regular lioe wil
be put on, as it is confidently believed
that the trade of the Colombia will war
rant sucb an expenditure. Tbere is
sumcierjt sruount of capital in tbe cor
poration to build the road and boats if
necessary, and tbe members mean busi
ness. Tbe object of the western terminus
opposite Crate's point is to overcome the
ice blockade in winter which usually
forms at tbat place, but near this city.
there will aUo be a permanent station
which will be tbe one generally used, ex
cept when impossible to reach open
water. As yet it has not been detet
mined where the mad will . reacb the
river opposite The Dalles, aud Mr Mohr
received information that an available
point is about two miles above Tbe
Dalles; but tbis will be determined in
the future. Tbe permanent eastern ter
minus is at Columbus; but by reason of
tunnel work being necessary opposite
Celilo, a temporary station will be estab
lished near that town, and the wotk will
be done from Rockland to that point.
His object in going up tbe road to day
was to locate tbe temporary tesmious be
fete the tunnel wcrk is done. Whether
tbis road wss under coatrol of tbe Union
Pacific was not asked, and very likely
would bave received a negative answer if
propounded. Whatever may be the ob
lect, if tbe road will be a factor in the
development of tbe country tbe Times-
Mountaineer will give it a cordial wel
come.

To tie Senators and Representatives of the
Seventeenth Legislative Assembly of Oregon
We, tbe undersigned resi eats and tax
payers ot Uregon, respectfully present to
your honorable body the following tacts for
your caretnl consideration:
The opening of the Columbia river at The
Dalles by canal or Ship railway, so as to se
cure for tbe interior country easy aud cheap
transportation to tine water, is a public nec
essity, and tbe people of Cistern Uregon
demand that steps be taken by your honor
able body to s-cure tbe desired result at
early a date as possible.
We al-o ask that the improvements for
opening the river at The Dalles be done at
the expense of and by tbe general govern
ment for the following reasons:
As tbe several states of O'egon, Wash
ington and Idaho ate directly interested it
would be unjust to ask our state to burden
its taxpayers with an interest paying debt
of more than one million dollars, to open
and maintain a free river
From The Dilles to Wallula, the Col am
but river is the dividing line between Ore
gon and Washington, and the arable and
producing lands of Eastern Oreson lie from
twenty to forty miles from the river be
tween these two points; therefore to reach
tue Columbia river shippers would bave to
use existing lines of railroads or build new
lines at a beavy expense, so that the
run them in quickly enough; bnt be is not
going to collar every suspicious character
and "run bim in." He keeps a careful
watch over the vicious classes, and he
desires it emphatically denied that Tne
Dilles is at present a "den of thieves" or a
"ho-o's rendezvous."
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
The Wagon Boad Case.
Monday morning, in the United States
circuit court, Judge Gilbert decided the
celebrated case of the United States against
tbe Willamette Valley & Cascades Moun
tain Wagou Road Company in favor cf the
defendants. . The Telegram says: "The
bone of contention in this case was about
600.000 acres of land granted by congress to
the com Dan v for building the road. The
government claimed that the company bad
never completed the road, and that it should
revert. The court beld that the west end
of the road was completed within tbe limit
expressed in tbe act, and since tbe suit was
commenced - the remainder had been fiu-
ished. The certificates issued by the gov
ernor at the time the work was done could
not be called into question, as there was no
evidence showing fraud in any respect. It
was so decided tbat Alex. Weill and David
Cohn, the present owners of tbe land, bad
Durcbased it in good faith, and that the
government is estopped.

Sadden Death
Prom Friday's Daily.
Mr, Wm, Bethame, who has been drink
ing verv freely for tbe past few weeks in
this city, waa found dead in his room at tbe
Umatilla House this morning abont 6
o'clock. About 5 o'clock last evening.
while sittiDg in a chair he fell over twice
and was placed in bed. After the second
fall, cots were discerned on his face and Dr.
Logan was called, who examined and
dressed bis wounds. Tbe night clerk, Mr.
Batty, visited him several times and found
him sleeping very soundly, and apparently
in a profuse perspiration. At 3 o clock
this morning fie was seemingly in the same
condition, bat, sooq after, on going to his
bed be found his forehead cold and the man
dead. Abont two months ago Mr. Betbnne,
wbo formerly lived on Bridge creek, had
some family trouble and came to Tbe Dalles,
and since tbat time has constantly indulged
to. excess in liquor, He owns two farms,
w understand, in Crook county, and has a
competence cf worldly goods. His age wss
abont 55 years, and he was born in Scot-
laud. Oo being notified of the facts, the
coroner summoned a jury and an ir quest
was held. . . -
The jury consisted of S. S. Thurman, E.
B Johnson, J. Fisher, J. S. Schooling, Jos.
Berger snd D. W. Ebersole who were prop
ealy sworn and the following witnesses tes
tified: D. C. Ireland, Fenn Batty, E. Beck,
C. Frank and Dr. H. Logan. From tbe ev
idence it was apparent that the man came
to bis death irom indulging too freely in in
toxicating liquors.
Moro Observer: Some of our citizens are
trying to organize a cavalry company here
to be attached to the Third Bsgiment of the
Oregon National Guard. Tne war depart
ment of the state) is perfectly willing to or
ifanizu a company here and all that is to be
done is to have forty or 'more names of men
over the age of 21 years, or if they are under
21 years and over 16 years then the consent
of their parents or guardians is required,
Now let us get in and rustle for a company.
The petition is being circulated around the
connty. If you have any bard look in nod-
iurf it, come to this office and we will assist
you in finding it. Now you may ask what
it will cokt. We will say that all of the
cost is just practicing and being here oo
drill nights, that is if yonr business will
permit it, and attend as often as, yon can.
There is no reason why there should not be
a first-class cavalry company and by six
months practice we teel assured that tbe
company can parade with any company in
the Inland Empire.
An immense hop field is being planted on
Burdock's ranch, about one mile west of
Coyote station on tbe Columbia river. One
thousand acres of tillable land lying be
tween the bluff and the Columbia river will
be utilized in the undertaking, and if reas
onable expectations are realized the value
of Gilliam county's agricultural land will
be materially increased. Posts and material
for constructing drying houses, etc., are al
ready on the field. Water for use during
the drv months will be. elevated from the
Columbia river into a natural basin or reser
voir on top of the bluff by means of wind
and steam pumps. It is an assured fact
tbat hops will do well in the sandy soil of
that section of conntry. A few vines which
were planted for a shade in .Mr. Carter's
back yard a few years ago are in a most
healthygcondition and their yield is enor
mous. Moreover, there is no sign of rust.
which sometimes, effects hops in the wet
climate of Washington.
. That "Lawless Element."
Any intimation tbat "there ' is
surplos of the lawless element in The
Dalles" is an injury to tbe reputation of the
city, and a reflection on our efficient police
force. This is not a fact, and, while it is
true that Deputy U. S. Marshal Jameson
bas 'arrested several for selling liquor to
Indians, very few of these could be denomi
nated "hoboes." Tbe case of the Klickitat
farmer who was robbed be did no claim tp
have been "sand bagged" was heard before
a city magistrate, aud the fellow s evidence
was so incoherent that the district attorney.
on motion, dismissed tbe action and was in
tavor of taxing the costs to the complaining
witness. .Regarding the robbery of the
premises of Bob Teague, we were informed
that the money was afterwards found in
the bouse, - These are the evidences, or the
majority and ' most aggravated cases, to
prove that tbe city is overrun by a lawless
element by our evening contemporary. In
this it is in error, and we do not believe
there is a city in the northwest where
property is safer or where law is enforced
more fully than in The Dalles. Marshal
Maloney says if any persons know of any
hoboes or bad characters around be will
