A Mtarilinz Theory.
New York, July 23 A new and
startling theory is advanced as to tbe
cause of tbe sinking of the British battle
ship Victoria bv the Camperdown. The
Irii-b rtvo utiomsts claim the sinking was
the rrsult not of accident, but of a deep
laid ulot, which has for its abject the de
s'ruction, if possible, of the British navy
and in Action of dire injury no England

date of July 10, says:

A traction engine, in connection with a
separator, left the city yesterday for the
wheat helds ot Klickitat county. As the
engine propelled itself through the streets
oi the city it attractei considerable atten
tion, and visions of golden grain flitted be
fore the minds of citizens.
The city has been remarkably quiet to
day after the turmoil of yesterday, and
there was no necessity for calling out the
militia to protect the community from the
onslaughts of the girl, who never weighed
100 pounds in her life, aud who has not
been in robust health for a number of years.
This portion of the et -te is nearly ready
to harvest its crop of grain, and the outlook
is very promising. In places there will be
an excellent yield; while in others wheat
will not be up to the average. As a g neral
.rule, the acreage is large, aud there will be
nyire grain for export than for many years
heretofore.
The officers of the llontrrry, now in the

. Chronicle: A boy about sixteen years o d
came into La (-rande I uesday morning
looking for a band of twenty horses which
he claims were stolen ' from him vjonday
night while he was camping about eight
miles this side of HakerLity. He says outof
his band of 100 horses twenty were taken,
and that he has traced them to Grande
fionde valley, but is now unable to locate
them.
Two persons asleep ou the sidewalds of
the city last night were arrested and placed
in the "cooler," where lodgings were fur

recorder informed a reporter of this paper
this morning that m x JSoMon mm muosum

The youngest son of Vr. James I as well,
who lives on Kock crek in liraut county,
met with an accident a few days ago which
resulted fatally. He was riding a apir tea
horse on 'uly 14th, which threw him in one
of his capers, and he died from the effects
of the injuries the next day. I he boy was
about 14 years old, and was a general favor

I he following from the Eugene Guard is
very creamy: A pedler went over town re
cently selling a patent article. Among the
many who purchased was the wife of a mer
chant. One d y when he went home to
dinner his ife informed him what a nice
thing she had bought. She then learned
her husband had them in his store for sale
for a year, at half the price she paid for
hers. v hen told this. she said: " ell,
why don't you advertise them. Nobody
knows it."
Capt. L P. Johnson, of The Dalles and
Rockland ferry, is capable of guiding al
most anything that can be steered with a
wheel. Yesterday hd jumped on the stern
uf the steam traction engine that was being
taken ont to K ickiand and guided it eate.y
up the hill and through one of the principle
streets of North Dalles to the suburbs of
that great city. The dangers incidental to
climbing steep grades and running through
busy streets being now past, he surrendered
the wheel to others less skilled in the art of
navigation.
It is time to proclaim a bitter war upon
the bicycle, for the persistent use of the
wheel has given rise to another disease
railed by the blood-curdling name of "Ky
phosis e icyclistaruui, wnicn must oe a
formidable addition to the already long list
of ills which "the flesh is heir to." 1 he ef
fects are described as follows: The head
goes dow , the back is humped, the arms
assume the position of forelegs, and all that
is wanted is a croak to paa lor a Droken-

'Th Oreconian. Its History. Its New
building," is the title of a neatly bound and
printed pamphlet which we have received.
Ihe illustrations are half-time photo
gravures, and are excellently executed and
printed. I he history of this great news
paper is the history of the growth and de
velopment of tbe state, and it has always
lead the locality in which it has been pub
lished. Dating from its first inception in
1850, when it occupied a one-story trame
building, it baa constantly advanced until
in 1893 i moved into the mammoth stone
structure, which is not only an ornament
to the "city of Portland, but is not sur
passed by any edifice used, for the purple
on the facific slope. ' he pages are very
instructive read ng matter to all Uregonians,
and give them a glimpse of tha- early his
tory ot tne state, as a journal me isre
(jnnuiH is in the front rank, and its success
has been the reward of untiring energy on
the part of the management.

jude said that Grant county wou'd pay the
extra ex.en-e to have her iximino 1 at The

Editor Tiaos-MocsTiimoa:
By what right did the city oouuoil vote
$50 for the entertainment of tha Monterey
officers and visitor Saturday night, and if
they had the authority to appropriate $50
oould not they make the sum $5000 if tbe
occasion required it? As a citisuu I do not
believe in being taxed for junketing parties,
