were very interesting.
The land in tho vicinity of the old gar
rison is rapidly being fenced and plowed.
About twenty acres in one place is beiDg
planted in melons, and arrangements are

East Lake cottage.
Two persons who follow th1? popular voca
tion of herding the woolly flocks upon the
bunch-grass hills of Eastern Oregon found
their way into tbe city jail last nigbt for
appearing on the streets in a hilarious con
dition. Tbis morning tbey appeared before
the recorder in a very dejected condition,
and at the mandate of that official they
ach paid into tbe city treasury tbe sum of
$3 aud coat?, which left them poorer but
perhaps wiser men. s
James Johnson, aged, 19, was. arrested
at Albany for swindling. His mode of
operation was to go to a house and pre
senting a ring which be claimed to be a
valuable family relic, ask for $5. or even
as a loan upon upon it, promising to
redeem it as soon as he could get work.
Of course he never 'came back, as the

When arrested he had $16 in money and
a two tobacco bags full of rings.
Aslorian: The Oregon branch of the W.
C. T. U. will hold its auuual state cobven
tion in tnis city on May 10th, 11th and 12th
inclusively. . As tbis is tbe brat occasion on
which the convention has honored this city
with its presence, the local members of
. coarse wish to give tbe visitors a cordial
welcome. A meeting was held last Thurs
day tor the purpose of devising ways and
means for their entertainment. ' A com
mittee has been appointed to call, on tbe
business men ot Astoria and solicit their aid
4 in tbis regard.
Almost a fatal accident happened a cit
izen of Tbe Dalles this afternoon. With
his overcoat on bis arm he attempted to
' step, on the west-bound passenger train,
when he fell between the cars on the rail,
and. a large number of citizens were
breathless with fear thinking he would
. fiurely be killed ; but quickly rolling to the
outside the cars passed by without doing
liim any injury, and, getting to his feet he
jumped on the train and was en route to
Portland before tbe spectators had fully
recovered from their fright.
Salem Statesman: There were three nr-
rivals at the state asylum for it sane yes
terday. One was James Miles, from
Carlton, Yamhil county. He is 41 years
old and ot good habit. This is his first
' attack and results from religious excite
ment. Fritz Bergman was brought from
f&lumbia county. He is 23 years old
and a Catbolic. He thinks himse't pos
sessed of hi den powers. Tbe third un
fortunate was Mary E. Humphrey, of

ceived a letter dated Astoria, March 17th,
from a iriend, stating that he bad heard
toy a telegram from Kentucky that Pat
terson had died at Wapinitia and making
inquiries regarding his death. This is
evidence of the annihilation of distance
by the electric telegraph. One day after
the inquest is held news of the dath is
received in Astoria from a point about
41000 miles distant trom Wapinitia, and
it is forty-five miles from the nearest rail
road point. - i
- Morgan Wassom, indicted for murder
tn the first degree for killipg A. W.
43rubbe, at Lebanon, was brought into
court at Albany Saturday and pleaded
not guilty. The prisoner appeared to be
in poor health and looked pale and ner
vous. An application for a continuance
was made, showing being made that an
important witness by tbe name of E.
Muldreth, who is now in Independence,
Kan., will swearthat Grubbe threatened
to kill the dt-lendant. After the argument
of tbe motion to continue, the case was
et tor trial at 1 o'clock on April 24tli, at
a special term to be called for that pur
pose. The opinion of Dr. Virchow that chol
era will not cross tbe Atlantic to America
this year will carry comfort to many peo
ple in this country who fear a visitation
ot the disease. The lessons which Vir
chow gives for his beliet are sound, for
certainly with the present methods of
quarantine and duinlection there should
be do difficulty in barring out from all
eleu filers passengers or goods that have
suffered from infection. The lesson ot
last Bummer ought to have had a good ef
fect in Hamburg, as tbe city authorities
must be convinced that unless they do j
their duty all immigration to America
will be stopped. i - i
Portland Dispatch: Billy Dillon, who
shot and killed Charlie Manciet in a sa- 1
loon on First streets above five years ago,
and who was sent to prison on a life sen
tence, has been pardoned. Dillon was a
gambler, and when druuK was vicious.
It is said that be intended to. shoot Sandy
Olds, who was dealing faro at the time,
but his bullet struck Manciet, who was
sitting in tbe -"lookout's" chair. Dillon
escaped the death penalty by a mere
scratch A strong influence was brought
to bear on the governor, and the pardon
was granted on condition that Dillon
leave the state and never return. His
mother and sister met him at the train in
Haleni and they went south to (California
on the day he left tbe pen.
Tbe new corporation called the Mount
Hood Improvement 'ompany intend to
make access to the summit of the grand
old mountain A pleasant jaunt or picnic
excursion, it is proposed to erecr a notei
at Government Camp, situated about five
miles from the timber line on the mount
ain, and about five or six hours' climb
from the summit. A saw mill was hauled
up to the cam? last fall. It will be set
cp this spring as soon as practicable, and
as there is au abundance of fine timber
close at band the building materials will
be manufactured on the spot. The motive
power for the mill is supplied by nature
in the way of fine ' waterfalls, and the
same power will be used to operate an
electric light plant which it is proposed
to erect. The company also intends to
have at hand a number of outfits for
mountain climbing, which it will rent out
to its guests. Negotiations tor a stage
line are already nnder way.
From Thursday's Daily.
Preparations are being made for tbe erea
tion ot several new buildings, and tbee will
oe began as soon aa tne weatner is favorable.
. The jail was vacant last night and the re
corner this morning had nobody to inter
view. Our citizens should feel thankful
that our police officers ere so vigilaut in the
performance of their duty.
The new store building of Mr. Harris at
the East End is beinz rushed to completion
as fast as possible, and the frame is now in

of the city.
Burdette Wolf, the murderer of his sweet
heart, Birdie Morton, at Mount Tabor Villa

ODce more been located. This time the
Coos river country is his biding place, and
posse of armed men are now out after
him. ,.
The answer of Assessor Koontz to the in
quiry of the Uregontan, regarding assess
ment nnder the new law, p blisbed in the
columns of tbat paper, has received favora-
comment from different sources. Mr.
Koontz is an intelligent official, and will do
his duty in a manner acceptable to property
owners. .
Mr. Albert Tozier, secretary of the Ore-
eon Press association, has prepared a rather
nnique exhibit which will contribute not a
little to the interest of Oregon's educational ,
exhibit at the world's fair. His work con-'i
sists of a bound volume of the newspapers
of Oregon, and contains one copy eacb of
the more than 200 publications of the state.
The Alaska Tre. dwell mine mined and
worked 120,000 tons of ore at a total cost
of $1 32 per ton. The mining was 65 cents;
milling and concentration 33 cents, and
chlorination of 2703 tons of sulpharets 19
cents per ton, or $8.42 per ton of sulpharets.
General mine expeuses were eight cents and
expenses in oan crancisco two cents per
ton. Bullion freight aud insurance amounted
to bve cents per too.
When the news reached Cheney that
Governor McGraw had vetoed the appropn
ation oui, cutting tnem on trom building a
new normal school, there was wild excite
ment. McGraw and tbe administration
were denounced, and an indignation meet
ing has been called. Never io the' history
of tbe county were the citizens of Cheney
and the surrounding country so excited.
McGraw is denounced as a traitor to his
party.
Hoboes appear to have their own way at
Pasco, and the News states that they have
been living in cellars and outhouses all
winter, without being molested by the city
authorities. It says that imprisonment is
what they desire, and in place of incarcera
tion in a jail they shonlJ be made to "move
on. Ihey don t trouble lne Dalles very
much, for they are made to work, and this
is something to which they are constitution
ally opposed.
Wo have received the Maroh number of
Our Dumb Animals published in tbe inter
ests of the "Massachusetts Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Anim la." the
American Humane Education Society,"
and tbe "American Bands of Mercy." The
number is replete with well written articles
oa tbe duties of the people in general toward
those that cannot speak for themselves, and
this subject should receive the attention of
every lady and gentleman. J
Ur. Uonover, united states quSnantine
officer, was officially notified yesterday, says
the Port Townsend Leader, tbat the old
man-of-war Iroquois, which has been or
dered sent to Port Townsend to be utilized
as a temporary quarantine hospital, would
be towed there from Sao Francisco by the
United States revenue cotter Bear. Tbe
Bear is now at San Francisco preparing for
the voyage, bat is ooable to start on ac
count of uein short of office a, which, it
appears, she is experiencing some difficulty
in securing. '
One of the most melancholy records of
humanity is in tbe little item which says
that during 1891 thirty person died from
starvation io London. Among these were
Beveral infants and one woman 73 years of
age. None of these persons applied to any
of the authorities for relief, and the misery
and poverty of the independent poor were
not discovered nntil too late to' save
them. .It seems incredible that in tbe very
sight and reach of plenty that any pers u
should, perish from starvation, and tbe
higher civilization will not have beeu
reached until such a possibility ceases to be.
A special car containing a colony of home
soekers trom Carroll county, Virginia, passed
Umatilla on tbe west bound train yesterday.
The colony consists of torty-six men,- wo
men and children, and is in charge of J. R
Harris, of Betsy Biker, Va. They have
not yet selected the locelity in which they
will settle. The car will be sidetracked at
Willows station.giying then an opportunity
to view that section. Ftom there they will
probably go on to Heppner. They are all
strong, vigorous people and possessed of
some capital. They will make a valuable
addition o any community.
Two boys, who wear medals for skating,
attempted to give a "show" last night at
the Armory; bat not being able to pay
their bills tbe perfoi mance was not giveo,
and in reyenge tbey talked loud and long in
reference to The Dalles not being a good
"show town " If they had paid their bills,
and not attempted t bilk those With whom
they had dealings they miht nave been
greeted by a fair house, perhaps more than
their performance merited; but, as it is, tbe
Chase-Butler Co. received their deserts,
and should pay as- they go before they at
tempt to gather in half-dollars from the
gullible people.
At his examination in La Grande Monday
Milt Androsa was release i on account of
some point of law in his favor. . Androsa
had quite an experience. He. wa first
arrested at North Powder, and was allowed
to stop off at La Grande to see some one.
Hp then slipped away, and was . again
arrested. At Baker City he was released
twice by habeas corpus proceedings, but a
third complaint was entered and on tbis he
was taken to La Grande .for trial. As before
reported, Androsa was accused of obtaining
n advance of $ 200 from Hamilton & Rourke
on wheat that h did not own, and there
were other ilaims again?t bim, which, it U
stated, he attempted to efade by leaving
tbe country.
The sensational rumor that employe' of
the government are patting obstac ea in the
way of delaying tbe work at the locks, w
do not believe, and, furthermore, ' do not
consider the province of journalism to pub
lish such without being fully conversant
with the facts. There are two parties to
this contract, and each is bound to a faith
ful performance of the conditions. It the
government fails in any particular an action
will lie and heavy damage may be collected,
and if Day Bros, fail in fulfilling tbeir put
tbey must answer in damages We have
not seen the provisions of tbe contract and
3an therefore give no intelligent opini in of
their import; but oar people should not be
come unnecessarily alarmed. Even nnder
the Cleveland administration we believe
that the public works, under contract, will
be finished as speedily as possible.

Tbe sweet song of the feathered denizens

We haye received a neat little pamphlet
entitled "Historic Washington," published
by the Memorial Asociation of the District

all citizens, and the development of the

itan proportion wi 1 be a theme worthy of
attention. There are several illustrations
of buildings in primitive days, and these

An Aged Indian.
Pendieton Tribune.
Indian John, a well known character in
the Willamette valley, has applied to the
authorities for commitment to the poor-
bouse. No one knows his exact age. Sheriff
Kelly thinks he is about 125 years old, but
District Attorney Hall, of Portland, says
that he wsh 100 years old when be first met
him, nearly 3o years ago. It is certain he
is over 125 years of ago. John was always
a triend ot white men vvnen ur. whit
man was murdered at Walla Walla, and the
Indians talked of coming to Portland, John
was one of those who left The Dalles and
went to Portland, warning the settlers on
the way to be prepared for a raid. He was
once chief of the Columbia River Iudians.
He had the reputation of being a brave
warrior, and ranked bigh in the estimation
of tbe members of his tribe. His tribe was
not very powerful. John was vigorous un
til he attained the ago of 80 yeara. Since
then be has iieen unable to perform .hard
work. ' For the past ten years or so he ha
supported bimselt by tanning deerskins and
picking beiries about the'Sandy, where he
was born and raised. About rive vears aiio

and fuse costing moie than they anticipated;
the citizens thereupon made op 525 more to
he paid when the first ten feet were due.
W. L Wilcox was appointed by the court
to measure tbe well and fee that the work
was properly done. Mr. Wilcox nsed Wal
ton's tape line, which was apparently all
right the first time he measured; but evi
dently the well did not go down fast enough
to suit the contractors, or they grew weary
of well doing so they cat out about fonr
feet of the line and pronounced their work
completed - according to cootraot. Th-y
were careful to have Wilcox measure tbe
well with the doctored tape line, and there'
by secured nearly fifty dollars more than
tbey earned. Walton has been arrested
and held in the sum of $300. Iacy, who
claims be had no hand in the catting but
nevertheless knew of the fraud, was held as
a witness for -the state in tbe sum ot $100,
which be gave.
Verdict of Coroner's Jury.
The following is the verdict of the jury
impanelled to inquire into the cause of
the death of Mr. rtamqel L- Patterson, at
his farm on Juniper flat;
Wapinitia, Or i March 16, 1893.
We, the jury impanelled by A. J Switt.
justice of the peace, acting as coroner, to
examine into tbe cause ot the death of
Samuel L. Patterson, at his place on Juni
per flat, "Wasco county, Oregon, find from
careful examination of witnesses that the
s dd Samuel L. Patterson came to bis
death from natural causes, and tbat no
person is responsible for such death.
1 bat after reaching this verdict certain
parties maintained that tbe said Samuel
Patterson was not yet dead, and that we.
therefore, summoned Dr. X. O. Powne, of
lygn valley, to ascertain aa to the fact of
tbe death of the said .Samuel Patterson,

Forged Checks.
A check very evidently forged has been
passed npon two of our merchants daring
tLe week. The forger's name, as given to
those with whom he has-had , dealings is
W. Oswald, and the name signed to the
check, Chs. U'ren. Monday night $40 was
given to Oswald on this collateral, and the
person hoi ting the check went to the First
National bank and was informed that no
person of that name had money on deposit
there. Later daring tbe same night, we are
informed, Oswald presented a similar check
with tbe same amount named and the samo
signature attached to another individual
and received $38 thereon. Tbe draft was
an ordinary one according to tbe printed
form, and was drawn on the rirst National
bank of The Dalles for $148 35, and made
payable to W. Oswald or bearer. A com
plete description of the individual was given
the police; but they have thoroughly
searched the city and cannot find bim. It
is supposed tbat he left the city on some of
the night trains, and will not be seen here
again for some time.
The World's Pair.
From an exchange we learn that General
Passenger Agent George 8. Taylor, of tbe
Rock Island, bas returned to Portland from
an extended trip to the main office of his
road in Chicago. In the published inter
view io onr exchange, we make the follow
ing excerpts:
"Nearlv every one in the east," said Mr.
Taylor, "expects to go to the world's fair,
and a great many of them will come to this
coast. If the rates are low enough, I be
lieve nearly two-thirds of the far eastern
people who visit the fair will cross the con
tinent. 1 believe the. same rates will be
made on west-bound passenger business as
those applying from here east, and they
will. I think, be reasonable.
"Nearly every one speaks of Oregon. I
met a great many people in tbe east who
had been out here, and a number of whom
had been on the Alaska trip. They are all
Bottom Tw

' advising their friends to take the trip, and
I I anticipate very heavy travel the coming
year, which will do this coast incalculable
good. The general opinion of eastern pas
senger men seems to be in favor of making
rates during the fair which will be within
the reach of every one."
A Good Bumber.
Worthinqton's Illustrated Magazine for
April, opens with a timely paper upon
"American War-Ships of To-Day," by Hon.
S. G. W. Benjamin. Nothing could furnish
a more striking object lesson upon the tre
mendous progress America, is making in
mechanical and scientific invention than one
of our latest men-of-war. In the quality of
its ships the United States now stands in
the foremost rank of the nations; we are
alio the only nation in the world that is
able to construct and equip a modern ship
of war entirely from the prod acts of our
own soil, manufactories, inventive genius
and mechanical skill. No less than nineteen
ships of war have been added to our navy

In a Wet Plaoe-
Up in the Cceur d'Alene country is an
ambitious little town called Harrison,
says ao exchange. It was necessary for
congress to pass a special act oeiore ine
towosite could be surveyed and located.
A bill making such provision was pro
duced at tbe last session by Congressman
Sweet. When the bill was drawn, tbe
instructions as to the survey incorporated
therein were taken from an incorrect
map. When tbe surveyors finished tbeir
work they had located the town in tbe
middle ot the Cceur d'Alene lake. Mr,
Sweet attempted to bring tbe tnwnsite to
land but failed, and finally concluded to
allow the whole matter to go tn tbe bot
torn, if necessary, while he prepared an
other bill, by means of wbicb be hopes to
secure a location for tbe place in a sec
tion a trifle less aqueous in its formation.
Eegenta Named-
Governor Sylvester Pennoyer this morn
ing appointed the board of regents of the
normai school at Weston. . He had delayed
naming the members of the board until per
sonally visiting this section of the state,
says the East Oregonian. Th - governor has
selected an excellent set of men for the res
ponsible duties ot directing the affairs of tbe
school in its incipiency. Those wbo learned
today of the selection express general satis
faction at the conrse of the governor. Ac
cording to the terms of the bill, the board
will have complete charge of the institution
from the start, and will superintend the
construction of the bni'dings as well as the
making np of the facultv. The new hoard
will consist of J. H. Raley and W. M.
Pierce, of Pendleton; R. M. Powers. P. A.
Worthington and William Steen, of Weston;
Nathan Pi' rce, of Mil toe; George Webb, of
La Grande. ' The new board will probably
hold a meeting in Weston the latter part of
this week. .
. Mineral Faint Mine.
A mine of mineral paint has been dis
covered near Pendleton, and tbe test is thus
given by the East Oregonian: "N. B. Lir
monr, the miner, clad in white jacket and
pantaloons and a look ot extreme confidence,
plied a paint brnsh vigorously on the front
of Pat Kine's establishment to-day. A teat
is being made of the mineral paint disoov-
ered on Elijah Welch's place' below town,
and is proving extremely satisfactory.
Three colors are being used, gray, red and
yellow, and the paint is as good as can be
found or manufactured in any man's country.
In fact, it looks as though Pendleton will be
provided with a new and large resonrc6.
hitherto unsuspected. Part ot the paint
ledge runs through the property below town
ecently purchased by Mr. rime from W. J.
Furnish, and this is one reason Pat is hav
ing the front adorned."
A Success-
The large irrigation wheel built recently
at Gilbert Hunt's factory, Walla Walla,
says the UnionJournal, has proved to be a
rnccpss. The wheel was manufactured tor
Dr. N. G. Blalock, of this city, to be nse.l
irrigating hia extensive fruit ; tarms-at
Blalock, Oregon. It was taken to that
place last week, and Saturday it was tested
and it proved to be a success. The wheel
was placed in tbe Columbia river and
started. The water was raised to an eleva
tion of sixty feet, and then by the nse of
pipes was earned over the land. The wheel
raised 163 gallons of water per minqte, witn
the current of tbe river only running at the
rate of twoMnd a halt miles au hour. Oil
bert Hunt, the manufacturer, went to Bla
lock Saturday and witnessed the test, Dr,
Blalock returned Monday, bat immediately
left for npokane.

' The recorder sat in his easy chair, and by
the expression on bis countenance this
morning the reporter was assured that there
was nothing around his temple of justice
with whicb to point a moral or adorn a tale.
No noboes no "poverty-stricken" wretches
over whom to shed the tear of sympathy
and who, lured by tbe temptation of an In
dian and a whisky bottle, had been induced
to commit crime. .Nothing of tbis nature

I: is said injunction proceedings will be
instituted whenever the governor, secretary
and treasurer may proceed as provided
ur.d r the general appropriation bill to par
chase the stove foundry at the state prison,
tor winch purpose the sum of $65,000 was
nppripnated. Section 6 of tbe jute roiil
bin is opposed to the stove foundry scheme.
"After tbe said jute mills are completed
and put in operation nothing but jute
fahrics and brick shall be manufactured in
tbe state penitentiary; provided, nothing in
this section shall be construed to prevent
th i manufacture of any article designed for
exclusive use in the penitentiary ." . .,
Mrs. Ada W. Unruh, a W. C. T. U. or
ganise and speaker, will speak in tbe Con
gregational church on Sabbath evening,
March iibth, at 7:30 o clock. Sabiect of
address, "Our Boys and Girls." She will
address the children of the M. E. Sabbath
school on Suaday, at 12:30, and will deliver
a lecture Monday evening in the M. E.
church. Mrs. Unruh is well known in
Western Oregon, and for the last two weeks
haa been in Eastern -Oregon. Everywhere
she is spoken of as n interesting, witty and
forcible speaker. The local union extends a
most cordial invitat on to all to come oat
and listen to the charming speaker.
Oregonian: Judge Deady, whose condi
tion was considered as very critical Tuesday
night, rallied yesterday morning, and was
able to recognize bis family and friends.
Last evening his condition was somewhat
improved, and tbis gave his friends some
hope. He bas not been able to bold court
for two weeks, but his condition waa not
such aa to excite serious alarm till Tuesday,
wben be fell into a comatose condition, and
the worst was feared. He is very weak.
and bnt slight hopes are entertained ot any
permanent improvement in his condition.
The governor and state treasurer returned
to Pendleton Wednesday evening from tbeir
trip to Milton and Walla Walla. While at
the latter place they made an examination
of the jute mill in connection with the pen
itentiary there, and were very much pleased
witn tne institution, and tetl that the in
formation they gathered will be of great
benefit to them in arranging for the estab
lishment of tbe jute mills at Salem. They
were met in Pendleton upon their anival
by Senator Blackman and Otia Patterson, of
Heppner, and left on tbe 9 o'clock train for
Willows, where a special train was in wait
ing, to convey the party to Heppner, where
they made an examination of the sites of
fered by the people of Heppner for tbe
branch insane asylum, after which they re
turned to willows ou a special train and
took the overland train for Portland. They
will visit this city in a few days to make in
vestigations here.
Salem Independent: Some strange
things occur under tbe administration of
our government. Jason Wheeler, ot Al
bany, was Indian agejt at the Warm
Springs Agency under Cleveland's firat
reigo, and when be went out of office
and made a settlement, he was reported
$800 short. A bill was presented for bis
relief, but somehow was never acted
upon. Now comes Senator Mitchell,
wbo bas succeeded in having tbe matter
re-examined in tbe interior department,
and a9 a result it is now claimed tbe gov
ernment owes Wheeler $230. If this be
true, the deficiency bill which passes con
gress will afford Mr. Wheeler relief.
The Elgin Recorder of the 17th inst. says:
''Yesterday morning word was brought to
town that J. A. Johnson, an old gentleman
who peddles in this section, had been
drowned in J. C. Christiansen's well on the
Flat. Justice W hite empanneled a iurv
and accompanied by Ur. Urownell repaired
to the scene of the accident. After tbe ex
amination of the body by the doctor and
listening to the testimony of the witnesses.
tbe coroner's jury decided that the deceased
came to his death by falling into the well
while drawing water for his horses. As he
was subject to epileptic fits it is supposed
that ne was BtricKen witn one while stoop
ing over tho well.and as no one saw him fall
he was drowned.

New York, March 23 Shippers and
brokers are in trouble because the Stand
ard Oil Company refuses to sell them oil
or quote prices to them. Tbe brokers
have orders from abroad, but cannot nil

the standard Oil Company intends to

with that object is fast accumulating a

East Oregonian: Decision was rendered
Wednesday by Judge Fee in the Shelton
divorce case. His honor overrules the de
murrer to Mrs. Shelton'a complaint and also
the motion to strike out certain parts of the
complaint relating to Lawyer Shelton's
character and reputation as a moral gentle
man, ten days are allowed the defense for
answer. Judge Fee has bled an opinion in
the case, the second filed by him since he
has occupied the bench. In this he takes
ground against the allegations of tbe defense
that the complaint dtd not state facts suffi
cient to constitute a cause of action and that
the court had no jurisdiction over the sub-
lect matter. .numerous authorities are
cited. So it seems that Mrs. Shelton is
victorious thus far in the legal battle with
her ex-lord, whom she accused of obtaining
a divorce py fraud.
