We received last evening, with the com
pliments of Mr. Homer McFarland, ol
Heppner, a photographic view ol The
Dalles taken oo July 4, lb??. The scene
is down Second street from the corner oi
Washington, and to old residents ver)
many landmarks can be discerned, li
was taken during a fourth of July pro
cession, and some familiar laces can be
C. . . recognized in the crowd. Ot course tbert
i haye been many changes in tbe last fifteen
years, and tbe city has so wonderfully
mn riiveU that it looks like a different
pl&ca.
lbe OrtgonicM says: A project is on
foot to take a steamer, probably the Un
dine, up over the cascades into the middle
river. A contractor has been up to look
at the ground and submit a bid for tbe
work. Aa there is about three feet ot
snow on the route the boat must, be haul, d
over, half a mile in length, the Job will
hardly be undertaken at preseut. Just
what the object of getting tbe boat over
the cascades ia cannot be guessed at. and
nothing definite can be learned in regard
to the mailer. The Union Pacific boat on
. that part of the riyer has been tied up six
; mooths, and the opposition boat, tbe Jley
ulalor, is said to have been losing money,
ao tbe only object a Union Pacific man
could see in the move is to have another
boat to share the Iors with her.
Chief Peo, of the Umatillas, lately "re
ceived a letter from Washington which,

ti erefore. that a solemn council of tbe
Umaiillas, Walla Wallas and Cayuses
will be held at the house of Peo on Tues
day of next week. All tbe leading peo
ple of the tribes are asked to gather there
and decide whether they desire to send
any one to W ashington and who they will
send. It is reported that the object of the
move is tbe restoration of the cbiels, wbi
hav not felt at all well since they were
deprived of their titles and authority, ai.o
advance the somewhat plausible plea that
their people need someone to do business
for tuem.
: The latest candidate for the honors oi

tbe east sad south of tbe present corpora

six miles in width. This will make tbe
fourth slice which is attempted to be taken
frcm Waaoo at this session of the legisla

cade Locks; second. Antelope division, the
boundaries of whioh we have, not ascer

Ben. Hogan.
In an interesting conversation with - tbi
gentleman we learn several facts in relatioi
to bis life that are quite interesting to tht
general reader. During tbe days when h
was in tbe prize ring be fought with Ton.
Allen and other celebrities, and at one tin..
was a personal f i iend to Jim Fisk, Stoke
and others. After he reformed he visiter.
England, Ireland and Germany. Spoke il
Spurgeou's tabernacle " in London to
rowded house, and interested thousand
in Belfast. In Berlin he inaugurated bit
einperance work in the shadow 1 1 tht
statue of Frederick tbe Great, under deu
Linden, and received the congratulations oi
tbe students of the university and of evr
Emperor William. He has a kind word foi
the great Spurgeon, whom, he describes, a
a mau ot large hearted chanty and oper
handed benevolence. Being a native Swia,
he spoke in Uerman in Berlin, . and
found tbe emperor a very approachable man
wrapped np in the betterment of his people.
He was a pleasant conversationalist, ami
gave Mr. Hogan many words of encourage
ment. His work in Hew xork city waa on
an extensive scale. - At one time be received
11000 from Jay Gould for benevolent enter
prises and the same amount from Cornelius
Vanderbilt. r Mr. Hogan bas about circled
tbe world in bia reform work, and appears
to be in earnest. He is rather unique in his
methods, and frequently clashes with tbe
established churches. There is an effort be
ing made to secure bim for one or more dis
courses in The Dalles, and tbe court house
will likely be secured tor tbat purpose.
Prorxr notice will be given of tbe time,
and we expect to see a large bouse greet his

siZrf, and, although a pocket knife was found
on the peraon of Mr. Edmund., tbe blades
had not been opened. Mr. Wheeler was
the first one to accost Edmunds, and told
him to take off hia coat, which he did, ex
pecting a fist fight and not knowing that
his antagonist was armed with a double
edged dirk. There were twenty gashes on
tbe body of Edmunds in the region of the
heart, either one of twelve of which would
have proved fatal, and in many instances
ribs and bones had been severed by the ter
rible slashes made. Edmonds, although
stripped to his shirt and no weapon in his
hands, never flinched for an instant;
but fought bravely until he dropped
lead. There has been bad blood between
the parties for some times, and dates its be
ginning several years ago. A man by the
name of Newman insulted Edmunds' wife.
and he resented it and a quarrel ensued, in
which Newman made threats against Ed
munds' life. Some time after this Newman
was seen riding violently towards Edmunds'
house, and, as is claimed, shot at him. Ed
munds pulled a navy revolver from his
tireast and fired at Newman, striking him
in the neck. He recovered from the wound
and Edmunds wss arrested and sentenced
to the penitentiary for six months, four of
hich he served snd was pardoned by the
governor lor good bebavior. tie-returned
after his release, and has been living in the
vicinity ever since. At the next election
Newman said be would challenge his vote
on account ot naving oeen convicted oi
felony. This made Edmunds very angry
and on .meeting Newman he asked uim
whether be had made such remarks.- Tbis
was answered in the affirmative, and Ed
munds beat Newman witb bis fist until he
requested him to stop. From tbat time
Edmunds has been antagonized by tbe bal
ance ol the community, and tbe fatal aff.a
last Friday was only the culmination of thi
old feud. Those who are acquainted with
Edmunds describe him as an honest, indus
trious and peaceable man; but braye as a
lion. It will take one or more days for tbe
examination to be concluded, as there are s
large number of witnesses to be examined.
Items From Sherman Oounty.
Mono, Jan. 9, 1893.
Editor Ttms-Moohtaikemu
The year 1892 has passed away, and
with it have gone many pleasant as well
as some sa events..
A bountiful snow came and went with
the old year. . For the first time in five
years my well is lunning out at the top.
With one mure suow storm to thoroughly
wet tbe top of the ground later in the
winter, we will havo the hcayiest harvest
uext summer ever known in Sherman
county.
The Musical Association of Sherman
county elected the following officers:
President, J. O. Powell; vice pies idem,
Prof. Clark Brown ; ' secretary, E. Baou
Wheat; corresponding secretary, Mrs.
Buckley; treasurer, Mrs. King. The con
test for a prize was won by the Grass Val
ley Quartette. The next meeting of tbe
association will be held at Grass Valley.
Tbe Grass Valley Comedy club, under
the skillful management of Prof. Brown,
has played al Moro and Grass Valley.
They will play at Wasco on the 20th, and
at Grant Boon after. They make every
body laugh and some people blush.
Moro is overwhelmed in work a cor-
uet band, a class in voice culture, a un.on
drill in cburch music, a literary society,
an I. O. O F. lodge, a protracted meet
ing, a school crowded until a call has
been made for a third grade and three
teachers. 'Wasco is brimful of good
works too. Her school, lodges and pro
tracted meetings, including festivals and
balls, have giyen her peopie just all they
:ould do. All the other towns of the
county are also busy. - ,
Mr. Ford, fiom DesMoinea, is a most
excellent speaker, attractive in manners
and winning in his delivery of the (iospel
message he believes himself called to de
liver unto men.
Tbe general sentiment of tbe county
seems to lie improvement in all direc
tions, and should we have a good crop
next season, Sherman county will need a
railroad into the interior. Sherman coun
ty says, tbe portage on the Oregon side of
the Columbia. T. J. N.
The State to Print the Ballots. -
Tbe suggestion to have the secretary of
the state print the ballots to be used at
the presidential election for the entire
JV3EiII
COPPER IIYETEDs(pfSr
J(3ottomTAntS
state is being receiyed with much favor.
Some members have made application to
State Printer Baker for estimates on the
cost of the arrangement. Mr. Baker has
looked up the expense of Marion county
ior that purpose, and figures that at the
same ratio the counties of the state must
have paid $11,600 for the printing of their
Australian ballots last June. He finds
that the expense of having the tickets
printed at his office, not including the
paper, for a voting population of 80,000
will not exceed $2500; this lo include
four sample and four official ballots for
each voter, as provided by law. This is
tbe amoupt he figures the law now on the
statute books, defining his compensation
would entitle him to receive for tbe work.
This is said to be the custom throughout
tbe states which have adopted the Austra
lian system of voting.

The Alliance Herald tells the following:
A correspondent from Ukiah relates tbe
following storj of a Umatilla county
merchant and a broom peddler.. After
driving over the country and failing to
find sale for his stock, the peddler went
to the merchant and said : "Let me sell
vou my brooms." "No; I do not care to
buy," said tbe merchant. "I will sell you
my biooms," said the peddler, "and take
one-half cash and the other half in goods,
provided you let me have tho goods at
cost" "I will do it," replied the mer-
cCV.. Ter counting the brooms and
giving Tialf cash, the store-keeper said
"Now, what kind of goods do you want?"
"Well," said the peddler, "I will take it
out in brooms, as I know tbe cost of
them." And - the Uaveling salesman
loaded on the brooms and departed, much
to the chagrin of the merchant who
thought, as did the Dutchman, "Der more
longer a man lives der more he finds
owet."

The O. P. sale is advertised for the 16tb

a postponement until the 7th of March. It
is doubted if Judgo Fulierton grants it, at
least witbuut a remaikably strong showing
Tbe general opinion is tbat there have been
too many postponements already. Iu refer
ence to the matter the Corvallis Timet says:
Developments here indicate that the bond
holders are endeavoring to carry out the
plan of examining tbe road by the bond
holders, and levying an asae8ement in order
to save it. Papers bave already been served

in the circuit court to-morrow asking for
postponement of the sale of the road until

Mr I. H. Taffe, proprietor of tbe Celilo

ter to the president ot the Fisherman's
union, Astoria: "I ee an ai-cotinl in tbe
papers a few days ago where the Fisher
man's union of Asmria intended present
ing a bill in the next legislature to do
away with fish iraps on the Columbia
river. I am strongly In lavor of it, and,
i-trange as il may appear, I am in favor
of doing away witbfishwheels, also. I
bave caught more fiVh with dip nets, be
fore eiiher tishwheels or traps were Intro
duced, than J ever did witb wheels, and
feel certain that I can do :t again. My
ea is to commence fishing on May 1st
each year, which will give all the fish
necessary t chance to pass up to their
sDawmrg grounds, aDd have no close sea
son at all, not even Sundays, and when
fisbiug is not profitable it won't require
to say when to stop it."
