The Times-Mountaineer 3ATURDAY ...... ......JULY 15. '.893 WHAT IS THE REASON An eastern exchange, in viewing the present situation, publishes the follow ing reasons for the depression of trade now felt all over the country: ' "Why are things thus? The coun try to-day has all the elements of pros perity that it had in 1892. It is as full of grain, its iron and coal mines are as rich as ever, its mills and fac tories are as numerous, its .facilities of transportation, its available domestic capital as large. Why is capital timid , and indolent? Why is grain selling . for next to nothing? Why are mines . nnworked? Why are mills and fac tories smokeless? "In November, 1892, an event took place that disturbed the confidence of those whose movements give life to trade, to agriculture, to manufactures, to mining and to transportation. A body of men met in convention and resolved that the system of protection that had given birth and nurture to American manufactures, and that had encouraged American agriculture, was unconstitutional, and must be abro gated; free-trade,' as understood in England was to supersede 'protection' as the word is understood in America. "The first visible effect came from English action. The streams of British 1 gold that were flowing into this coun try in exchange for our farm produce, or for investment in protected Ameri - can industries, ceased wholly as to the latter, and diminished as to the former. Dunns the financial year of lovz, a Republican and protectionist year, we received more than $200,000,000 from Europe in excess of our payments to it, and this does not include the mil lions invested in mines,., railways, lands and factories. In the financial year of 1893) Democratic and promis sory of free-trade, Europe will receive something like $100,000,000 from us, and this over and above all payments made to us from that quarter. "Is it wonderful that gold is scarce? "Congress cannot avoid the tariff issue. It is the issue. If the free trade clauses of the Democratic plat form were framed only to deceive, con' fe&sion of the fraud must be made that confidence may be restored. If they were made in good faith the country should have fair warning from congreps of its intention of revolutionary legis' Jation, in order tbat it may prepare itself as best it may for panic. In either event congress is charged with the plain duty of speaking in unmis takable terms' as to its tariff inten tions. While thsre is uncertainty as to these there cannot be a full revival of prosperity; no, not though every coinage law on the statute books be repealed or amended." , common ooTraon.

Our cotemporary of last Saturday pub- usnea me zoiiowing: "it now develops that the ten head of horses' reported in Thursday's Chronicle as being shipped to Portland by the Bolton boys were stolen property. Simultaneously with their shipment H. L. Frieman missed ten head of horses from his stock corral, and in quiry at The Dalles led him to follow the band.' He found them at Albina in the charge of one of the shippers. He secured-his property and brought one or the horses back with him." This was evi dently an error, for the Bolton boys are well known in the vicinity in which they reside, and their honesty ; has never been doubted. The following from the Port land Telegram may give an explanation to the matter: "An attachment suit was commenced in Justice McCulloch's court by Milton Freeman, of Wasco .county, against J. A. and Lawrence Walton to re cover the sum of $100, alleged to be due for pasturing nine head of horses, the horses being attached. The horses were driven from the riasfnre withont tha min ers making settlement, which,, according to the Oregon statutes, made them liable to arrest tor larceny. , This charge was booked-against them also. Yesterday morning the cases came up, but the de fendants settled the matter by paying the claim and the costs of the cases." i An Old Pioneer. Among the oldest pioneers who have resided on the banks of the Columbia be yond which "the memory of man going not to the contrary" is Dr. H, A. .Leavens, of the Cascade Locks. Mount Hood was not "a hole in the ' ground" when he first settled at the gorge of the Columbia; but several decades have passed since he first breathed the invigorating atmosphere which, journeys down from the. summit of the 'snow-clad, peaks which stand as everlasting sentinels over this region. In 1852 he first came to the Washington side of the Cascadesnd he has lived in that vi cinity ever since. He was personally ao- j quainted with Lieut Sheridan at the time he made his first fight, and partici pated in the memorable engagement. During these years he has seen a wonder ful change, the advent of steamboats and railroads, and the advance of the tidal wave of civilization where Rolls th Oregon and hears no sound Save its own dashing. The old gentleman can furnish data re garding the history of this region that cannot be found elsewhere, and the future chronicler of Eastern Oregon will devel- ope a mine of information in regard to facta that will make many interesting paces of reading;. Dr. Leavens is a most pleasant gentleman, and is always ready and willing to impart anything he knows for the benefit of bis fellows. In the lan guage of Rir Van Winkle: May he live long and prospep, and may he yet see the time when boats will navigate the waters of the Columbia from its headwaters to the ocean. PATEI0IDE. W. Wilhelm.. a Farmer on Ten Mile. Killed By His Son, From Saturday's- Daily News of a terrible tragedy reached the city this morning, in which E. W. Wil helm, a farmer living on lower Fifteen Mile, waa killed by his son Hermann. As soon as aware of the facts Coroner Eastwood left for the scene of the tragedy to' hold an in quest over the remains. He was accom panied by Dr. H. Logan, who went to per form an autopsy if net esaary. The doctor returned about 1 o'clock this afternoon, and he left before the verdict was rendered or witnesses heard. ' The affray occurred at 7 o'clock last evening, and Hermann and his father were quarrelling when the old gentleman grabbed a gun. At this the young man beat him oyer tha head with a stick, inflicting fatal injuries. Around the base of the brain in front the skull is - frac- tured in many places, clearly proving that he had -been struck several times. The in juries were such that an autopsy was not deemed necessary, and there cannot be the least doubt that they produced death. It was in evidence that during the melee the son dragged the father down stairs into the cellar, alleging that he did not want to shock bis mother, and afterwards pulled him up. Hermann Wilhelm is the oldest son of Mr,' E. W. Wilheltn, is married, has two children, and is from 30 to 35 years of age. He was living on the old homestead, on lower Fifteen Mile, about twelve miles from The Dalles, but the father still retained the title to the property, although it was gener ally understood that the old gentleman would relinquish it soon to Hermann. For several years past there has been ill feeling between the father and mother who is an ioyalid and it was reported to-day that during moments of anger Wilhelm had beat his wife. Since last fall lie has lived in the citv only going out occasionally to the farm and has begun the erection of dwelling house in Thompson's addition. He is over 56 yeirs old, and has three other sous and one daughter, two of whom are mar ried. The tragedy produced a Bhcck in this community, as the family nave lived in this vicinity for a long time, and have always been highly respected for honesty, and in1 dustry. Those who have lived neighbors to the boys for many years past say they ate peaceable and industrious, and not inclined in the least to pick quarrels with any one. The young man who committed the terrible deed read the Declaration of Independence at the celebration at' the residence of Mr, Brookhouse, and was very highly esteemed by tbe community. . Until the fatal tragedy of last night, no skeleton was known to be bidden in tbe Wilhelm family, except, per haps, the difficulty that existed between the father and mother, and.this was gener ally considered too sicred to be canyassed by those who bad proper respect ior the members of the household. . A full statement of the facts cannot be ascertained until the inquest is held find the coroner returns, and up to the time ot go ing to press be had not arrived from the country. The Wilhelm Homicide. From Monday's Daily. The coroner returned Saturday night from holding the inquest oyer tbe temains of E. W. Wilhelm on Ten Mile creek, and from the testimony before tbe jury tbe facts appear different - from those published, Those who witnessed the tragedy were H, J. Wilhelm, Mrs. Lvdia Wilhelm and Miss Emma Dace, and their testimony was ex plicit regarding the anray. There were others' sworn, among whom were Mrs. Jo sephine Wilnelm, the wife of the deceased two of bis sons and some of the neighbors, From the testimony it appears that Mr. H, J. Wilhelm had been managing his father's farm for the past two years, and bis wile, wile s sister and his two children lived on tbe ranch. Friday evening, about 7 o'clook. Mrs. Lydia Wilhelm went out and called her- father-in-law, husband and sister to supper. Mr. E. W. Wilbelm walked into the front room and was looking out the window when tbe others came through tbe garden gate, Miss Emma Dace, a girl about 12 years of age, being tbe last and closing tbe gate after her. As she came on the porch the old gentleman began to curse her and told ber to look otjt for her life. At this the sou requested him to keep still and stop quarrelling, and be then abused Mrs. Lydia Wilhelm the son's wife and grabbed her by the arm tearing her dress in different places. The young man tben pushed him back, at the same time asking him to keep still and stop wrangling. A scuffle and fight then ensued, in which blows passed between father and son, the parties during the melee passing through the ball, into tbe front room and on the porch. By this time the father was in a violent passion, and made threats to kill the entire family. He immediately went into the bed room, grabbed , tbe double-barrelled shotgun. raised both hammers, and came out with it pointed towards Hermann. Realizing that his life was in danger H. J. Wilhelm picked up a stick of fir wood lying in tbe hall, and, pushing the muzzle of the gun from bim Btrnck his father two or three blows, asking him at the same time to quit. At which tbe old man again cursed bim and his family and aaid be would kill tbem all. The son then struck him a heavy blow oyer the head, and be began to stagger and fall. Herman then took the gun, which was fall ing from bis father's band, handed it to his wife, and supportel the old man with bis arm. tie procured a quilt, wrapped it around his bead, leaving bis face exposed, and death , ensued in a few moments. Thinking his mother who was at the birn during tbe 6ght would be shocked at the sight of 1 her dead husband, he took the body down stairs to the cellar, and im mediately went and told her all the circum stances. As soon as she became somewhat pacified, be removed his father to the front room in the position in which be was found when tbe coroner arrived. The two other sons of tbe deceased were sent for and also several of tbe neighbors. Tbe testimony of the widow was to the effect that her hus band was very much worried -because of having so much property, and was liable to. have "spells" of bad temper. During such times she left bim alone, as he was difficult to control. One of the sons testified tbat three years ago the father bad threatened to kill him with a pitchfork because, he bad not placed the grain level on the thrashing floor, and also tbat be bad beat his wife at soother time. This was an unmarried son, who had lived away from home for some time. It was also in evidence hat E. W. , Wilhelm hated this girl Emma Dace, and had stated to one of hia boys tbat he would kill her. There were two bruises on the breast of the deceased, the bones of the right cheek were broken and the skull ter ribly fraceured. The end c-5 the stick of wood bad bloody marks on it, and there were two pools of blood in the cellar. A careful examination, was made of each wit ness, and the jury after being out an hour and a half, brought in the following verdict We the jury impanelled to inqu re into the cause ot tbe deatb ot h,. VV. Wilhelm, having listened to the testimony produced before us and made a careful examination of the body of the deceased and the premises, find as follows: That the deceased's mine is E. W. Wilhelm, and tbat his ape was 5i years; that he died on Jolv 7. 1893, and that bis death was caused by a blow from a blunt instrument in the band of one H. J Wilhelm, and Wb are of the opinion that the killing was done in self defense. D. J. Cooper, William Beookhocse, B. Brookhouse, J. W. Pennington, Gabriel Deckebt, Cyrus Cooper. Sohool Eeport. The Dalles, Ore., July 8, 1893, Editor Times-Mountain ejir: Tbe four months' term of Fairfield school. No. 17, closed on June 30th, with a publio examination. The pupils were orally ex amined in the branches they had studied during the term in the presence of forty visitors. Songs and reoitations were given by the pupils between the exercises, and the proceedings closed by tbe distribution of nrizes. of which there were six Bye for penmanship and one for tbe highest num ber of merit marks during the term. Tbe following are the successful com pet i tors. For penmanship Willie Gilbreth, Lloyd Bolton, Andrew Jaksha, Frank Gil breth, Claudia Gilpin. For general good conduct and profiency, Frank Gilbreth.

A. reporter of tbe Times-Mountaineeb was taken in charge by Mr. Geo. P. Mor gan on a visit to the Cascade Locks one day this week and shown over the entire works. Two stem travelers are now in operation, one on the north and the other on the south side of the canal, and there are about eighty stone-cutters at work. The locomotive, which had undergone repaiis in Portland, was received Friday, and is now making two trips daily to the quarry on Hermann creek. A large derrick is being erected at a convenient place, so that roek can be transferred from the Hermann creek rail road, and taken by the narrow gauge cars to either shed. The water is still very high, about 35 feet above the lowest mars; but it is expected by the end of the month or tbe beginning of August work can be prosecuted in the canal. A large quantity of stone has been taken eut, and these will be prepared for their places m the wall as rapidly -as possible. The contractors are pushing work by every possible means, and boats will be able to pass through the canal inside of two years. There is perfect sys tem in the manner in which the work is prosecuted, and it is a matter of surprise that every detail, in such a gigantic under taking, can be so carefully mapped out. Fossil Journal: John June, of Antelope, who is in the employ of Wm. Jones, the livery man, met with a serious accident in the corral adjoining Mr. Jones' livery stable Thursday. He was starting out with a wagon, with hay-rack on, after a load of hay, when he accidentally dropped the lines. He stepped on the doubletree to re cover the lines, causing the doubletree to tip and scaring the horses so tbat they ran off. June was thrown to the ground, and two wheels passed over his abdomen. A doctor was sent for and soon arrived from Tygb Ridge. He worked with the unfor tunate man for 24 hours before returning home early this morning, after having done all that could be done for the sufferer. The doetor says the man is in a precarious con dition. W. W Union-Journal: Lewis E. Wilson a young man about 25 years of age, was run over by a car at Adams Saturday, and had his left foot badly crushed. It ap pears that Wilson was attempting to board the freight tram bound for Walla Walla, and in trying to jump on a car be tell beneath and the wheel passed over the left foot. He was brought to the city and taken to the hospital where Dr. H. R, Keylor, assisted by Drs. W. M. Ely and Fred Stine, amputated tbe limb above the ankle. The young man's parents re side in Minneapolis, and he claims they are well-to-do. He was coming to Walla Walla seeking employment. Condon Globe: Monday night Mr. Wilkin son Whites bne dwelling bouse on .Taper Sack, witb all its contents was burned. No one was at home at the time, the old gen tleman being out on a hunting trip to the mountains and his son and daughter were in town. It was a splendid bouse and well furnished throughout. Mr. White had just received from bis old home in England about $400 worth of supplies of all kiuds. clothing, etc., which bad not yet been opened, and that burned also. The total loss is estimated at about $2,500, with $600 insurance. Tbe supposition is that it was tbe work of an incendiary, as there was no fire in tbe bouse when Charley and bis sister left ior town. The following from an exchange is the only sensible way to view tbe present situa tion: " v hen any one claims that the pi es ent condition of the wool market in the United States is the result of the McKinley bill, he says what he knows positively is not the truth. The bottom of the wool market in ihis country hai dropped out be cause of the uncertain condition of affairs as to the legislation congress may make upon tbe tariff question. If the promised free wool is given no one proposes to pay the prices that could be paid under the pro tective tariff, hence what prices are offered are really in anticipation of wool being put on the free list." 'f Localizer; F. M. Sbinn, of Wenatchee, has conceived the idea of digging a canal a mile and a quarter long; by which he expects to create .a water power that can be utilized for many local purposes. He expects to get from it a 25,000-horse power; enough to water the entire coun try about the town and all the way down the Columbia. In addition to that he ex pects to be able to supply electric light power, to supply the town with water and when needed power for tbe electric street cars and the Wenatchee smelter. The last use may be intended as a joke. ' Beys and tttrW Aid Society.

A Disastrous Fire, Chicago, July 10 The fear that bss existed for months in the minds of the citizens of Chicago found realization to day in a frightful holocaust at tbe world's fair tbat claimed nearly two score victims and for a time threatened tbe destruction of the entire white city The disaster was all the more dreadful because of its sudden transformation from ao innocent flame into a death dealing catastrophe. Tbe structure tbat burned, tbe cold-storage warehouse, was one of tbe smallest buildings at the fair, but not belonging to the exposition. It was tbe exhibit ot the Hercules Iron Works, manufacturers of ice and refrig erating machines. Tbe building con tamed a skating rink, three 120 tons ice machines, some 40 barrels of linseed oil which added fuel to tbe flame, and in it tbere was stored large quantities of meat. fruit, etc. Tbat the fare was not com, muninated to the other world's fair buildings was due to favorable winds. Tbe scene of tbe borrer was witnessed by many thousands of peopie who flocked to the locality where tbe alarm was sounded, and strong men wept and wo maa fainted as one life after another was snuffed out within full yiew of tbe mul titude, but beyond reach of human aid The fire was not generally observed un til about 1:15 p. sr., and within 30 mm utes a great loss of life occurred. At tbe first signal the fireman rushed up the huge shaft sunounding tbe smoke stack, and wben at tbe summit began preparations 10 fight tbe flames, which first appeared at this point. Thu Silver taetion. Montsbey, Mexico, July 10 Tbe Monterey smelters are in full blast and tbere is no indication of cessation. WTil Ham Guggenheim, general manager ot the great National smelter, tbe largest silver lead plant in this country, said to day: -'The white metal is all right and there is no cause for alarm. The future of silver is now in the hands of England and tbe United States, England has al ready intimated that she will take care of white metal exclusive of the United States product. She wants to close tbe mines of tbe Uoited States. Tbe repeal of the Slierrnin act will practically leave England alone to protect silver, except for such assistance as might come from Japan. England is obliged to buy sil ver, as India must use it or fall back on gold, which England can't spare. Tbe question now arises. What will tbe United States do for silver? Wbat the reasonable suppotters of tbe white metal demand is not free coinage, but a staple condition protecting it from fluctuation. Mexico wil! be ab'e to produce silver profitably at figures that would be ruin ous to tbe United States." Troubles of Labor. St. Paul, Minn.. July 10 There is general and widespread sufieiiog in the several established -iron ranges of tbe Lake Superior districts. It Is the worst lime since tbe black days of 1872. Tbere is scarcely a mine on the ranges tbat is not either completely closed or greatly curtailed in operation. Miners have not been at work for three weeks, and tbe idle number is at least 8000 greater tban it was lees than a month ago. This tre mendous non employed force decreases in like ratio the business of tbe railways in tbat section, and also tbe stores sod dependent industries. It is probable that 12,000 men are today out ot work by reason of tbe closing of these mines. Most of . the mines tbat have suspended operations are still shipping the ore that bas been mined and put on stock piles Borne few are continuing mining opera tion witb day shifts. Some, however are so completely shut down that the pnmps have been taken out, and tbe mipes will be allowed to fill with water. Loaded up Witb tatiatcs. Asfbn, Colo., July 10 President An drews, of Brown university, bas been making an investigation into tbe condi tions that have brought about the clos ing of the silver mines. In company witb President Hagerman and some half dozen other caoitalists. be went through dozen leading mines here on Friday last. From tbe managers of these be gathered statistics relating to different phases of the silver question. He left early yesterday morning for Leadville, where be will remain one day. On bis return east, Profes-or Andrews will visit Mr. Cleveland and lay betore bim tbe facts be bas secured. Professor Andrews is a pronounced bimetalist, and it is said be left here more tban ever convinced tnat be is on tbe right track. None of tbe silver mines bere have jet started up.

Klamath Falls, Or., July 10 There wss a race over tbe mountains last night on tbe Asbland-Kibmatb Falls road, be tween Tom Sbattuck, sberifl ot Josephine, and a brace of constables from the same locality. Tbere is $500 reward offered for the cspture of the murderer of An tone Joseph, wbo was assassinated on Williams creek in jAsepbine county two weeks ago. Sheriff Gowan bas under arrest Charles Slagle, aged 22, charged with arson committed here on June 4, and-there is strong evidence tbat he did tbe kil'feg. . Slagle was held in $5000 bonds today to appear before tbe grand jury for tbe local crime, and tbe Jo sephine officers cannot gain possession of tbe prisoner. li.

BPOkANE, Wash., July 10 The author ities are investigating a mystery un earthed today by tbe discovery ol a skel eton by workmen digging a trench in Peaceful valley, a flat near the river front. There is a suspicion that the bones are tbe remains of an old man aimed Murpby, wbo lived on tbe Bite and wbo disappeared a few years ago. Tbe suspicious behavior of Jebn Hayncs and wile, who now occupy Murphy's former place, increases the belief tbat tbere is foul play somewhere. Oregon at tbe World's Fair.
