We call attention to the advertisement ot St. Mary's academv in another column This institution of learning- is well known throughout the state, and tbe graduates take a leading position in all vocations in life. The foundation for the machine- y of the new electric power bouse on Front street is complete, and the boiler is 60 the ground and ready to be placed in po sition In a lew days work may be ex . pected to begin on the frame of the build ing. The city loses many citizens these days by trips to the ocean beach and other summer resorts, and this is wise in tbose who can take advantage of te opportu . nity. In a few weeks these will return, and The Dalles will give evidence of tbe The-heallh of, the city is reinakable, considering the warm weather. There is no denying the fact that The Dalles is tbe most healthful locality in the northwest Ice two isolated cases ot diphtheria are recovering, and there is not the least dan ger of the disease spreading. The finishings of the railing cf tbe counter in The Dalles National bank are of Japanese copper, and the glass of the best French plate. We were mistaken when w described the finishings as brats. It is wi hout d ubt the most artistic rail ing in any bank in Eastern Oregon. - ine coolest lor stare 100a commissioner between H.

Tbe body was recovered near the sand bar a the foot ot Ladies' . island below La Camas. The bur'al occurred at Vancouver Monday. Harvest is in operation in all portions of the county, and the yield is very good. There- will be considerable more grain raised than former years, and if tha blight of free trade bad not (alien on the industries of tbe country, farmers would be unusually prosperous this year. A party of nimrods left the city to-day for the mountains to spend a' few days hnnting and fishing. They took pack ' animals with tbem, and bad a good sup ply of ammunition for a long stay.

World's Columbian Exposition Illustrated An unique feature ot the Oregon exhibit in the agricultural building is the grains cut uu iiieatrjycu iu tueir natural siate. The stalks of wheat, rve. oats and barley are from three t ; seven feet high and half an inch thick, the srraw berries caused visitors to rub their eyes and take a sec ond look before they could believe that berries had grown to such dimensioss. Oregon women are able to defend them selves, aDd this fact should be known to the public. Oar men may be "moss-backed" and "poky"; but oar girls haye true Auglo Saxon grit, aDd will defend their rights. A few days ago one in this city cowhided a preacher bees use he wonld not pay her ladv friend $100 due her, aod the Albany Herald of yesterday publishes the fact that another knocked a man down at Lebanon with a scantling for insulting her. the Perkins family at Salem, says the Albany Democrat, over the alleged intimacy ot Mr. Perfciuaaud ex-Rev Campbell, of which the papers in that city have been full. - A resident of Klickitat conuty wa ar rested last nwtht for beiug drunk an I dis orderly 00 the st eets.

There are several cows roaming at large uriog the uocturaal hours, and these wi I be impound d by tbe marshal if they are tot placed within luclo urea. Tbi- law is very strict iu this matter, and the marshal will see that it is enforced. Tne city marshal received a dispatch from Portland this morning, signed by L C Uarrman, constable, requesting tbe arrest of Koy Ballard. He was touud and pla ed jail to day, and an officer fr m Portland may be expectd up on tbe night train. A man by the name of U. F. Wilson wa irrested last night for selling liquor to In diana by Deputy U. S Marshal Seeley, and lodged in the city lail. He was examiueit before the U. d. commissioner to-ilav. and will be taken to Portland on tbe morning train. The lawn sociable given by the Juvenile remple lat night at tbe academy ground was attended by a large number, and tbe locality was brilliantly illuminated bv C iinese lanterns. Ice-cream and cake w re 1 ved to very many, and the receipts were quite liberal. There was a party of four, two men and wo ladies, last evening who experienced a runaway accident ou Uuloo street. They ere oriving a team of horses attached to a iouble seated buggy, when the animals broke loose from the vehicle, throwing ibe occupants oat. No one was seriously in jured. Extensive preparations are being made by the citizens and firemen to entertain the members of the Veteran Volunteer Firemen association, which will convene here on Sept 4th. A large number of visitors are xpected here ou that occasion, and The Dalles will extend to them its usual hos pitality. The atmosphere is becoming smoky, which is unmistakable evidence that forest tires are raging in the mountains. This is -in annual occurrence, and millions of feet f valuable timber are yearly destioyed by bis destructive means. Although there are stringent laws attains", setting fire to any forest trees it seems impossible of en- orcement, and the -destructive names rage annually. -- It costs something to disturb the Salva tion Army in Oregon City. By jury trial Tuesday at S.jUire Font's court, four young men wer- found guilty ot disturbing a .Sal vation Army meeting and punished as fol lows: Mike Gleasnn, 849'or 24 days in iil; Wayne Under Henry Jones and G-o Freeman, each $20 or ten "ays in jul. Pete Summers voluntarily pleaded guilty, without arrest, and was fined $10. William Motley, an old foMier, was camped on the bank of Mary's river in the ooutb end of C rva'lis daring last Week, says the 'Albany Democrat. Eirly Sunday morning he got up to get a drink, and in go me down a steep banc lost bis balance and tell into the river and was drowned. The body was recovered later 10 the. day. Tbe coroners jury returned a verdict in accr- dance with the above facts, aod fonnd fur ther that his neck bad been broken ia the fall. The inventory of the Portland savings bank is creating conxidera'le excitement in the metropolis, and there is an argent lemand for a new receiver to be appointed Some express the opinion that the bauk was uot mamged honestly, and that it was a money-making scheme for tbe directors and -tock holders, without the least attention being paid M the interests of depositors. There will likely be a thorough investiga tion of the institution before it reopens for business. . Silent Ji urnal: A drumnvr at Albanv thought to be bOiart - with the secretary of the S lem Hum .ne Society. Ou her cre dentials being asked for she went to tbe baggage room of the Southern Pao tic rail road and aked for her baegage that had been left there, remarking that she wanted to get her credentials. Opening her valise she pulled out a savage looking revolver, at least a foot long, and placed it in her hip pocket. It has never been learned whether 1 he credentials were accepted or not.

"sasa from no diuin- ' Guard, Monday: Yesterday afternoon aliont 1 o'clock Mr. Peabody, who resided on tbe McEenzie river, about twenty-six miles east of Eugene, was washed from bis horse and drowned while attempting to ford tbe stream. He was seen by a neighbor just as he sank. The men of the neighborhood were searching for tbe remains as our informer.Mr. Frank, came by to-day. Peabody was a man of about 4f years of age and leaves a family in al most destitute circumstances. .Lawyers and doctors are not supposed to advertise beyond the mere announce ment of their professions and the location ot tneir offices. This curious advertise ment appears in Hubbell's Legal Direct ory for 1893: "James L. Brown, attorney, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Twenty-five years' experience. Collected thousands of dollars and neyer failed to remit within foity-eight hours Never drink or gam ble. Plenty ot property to pay WI liabil ities.

Tbe inventory of tbe Portland Savings bank has been filed by Receiver Tbomp son, and in the recapitulation tbe assests show a total of $3,013,640 09 and the lia bilities $2,475,148.18. An item around which will. cluster some suspicion is tbe following from the Portland Telegram: "The following notes were dated July 27, the bank haying closed July 29: George P. Dekum, $4801 ; G. 11. Durham, $3500; Ed Dekum, $34o0; K. L. Durham, $3839; Adolph Dekum and Otto Dekum, $l;i00." These men were supposed to have been interested in the management of the in stitution. Tbe state treasurer had a conference with the government bank examiner, aud tbe latter says the Portland suspend' d banks are trying to get time releases from 75 per cent, of their depositors, paying them interest on their depoitH, when they will be able to resume business. Tbe lunds are in tbe suspended banks and also in banks that are solid. The state treasurer is not disposed to employ harsh measures with tbe counties that are de linquent. He says to do so would be an injury to the state. It would prostrate business and tie up more money than it -would liberate. The state is in no worse fix than private citizens, merchants and banks are. From Thursday's Dally. Judge Bennett and Mr. B. S. Huntington were passengers down th6 river on the Reg ulator this morning. The First and Second regiments, O. N G. are in camp near the Clackamas river.

Dispatch: Wm. Rtnsome, aged 22, a farm hand, near Mouut Tabor Villa, while play ing base ball Sunday, died from the effect o: a unrated blood vessel. At the seventh inning the scoie was a tie and the boys were naturally excited. Ransome took the bat and made a loug bit, and would have got "home" had he uot stumbled on tbe third base. He fell heavily to the ground, where be remained a few moments, and then setting up, he walked hurried y to a drug store near by He appeared to be so bartly hurt internally that be could not say much, and no relief could be given him He died ia less thaa a half hour. He came here from Missouri, where his parents re side. They have been notihed. This is the latest fish story from the As torian, and if it does bear the stamp of ve racity .it tarnishes evidence of a vivid im agination which might accomplish wonders iu a broader field: Fram iscp Bonnaire yes terday went out with his boat to catch a few salmon for salting.

Evervtbinz that hat een published regarding this city has been truthful, while nearly all statements maile regarding North Dalles, Wash., have been false. We have good fruit lands in this vicinity, wood aud water in abundance, while across the river sand dunes and rock piles are the principal features.

East Oregonian: The grain fire Wednes day afternoon, supposed at tirst to be lo cated on the reservation east of Pendleton, occurred at the Blakeley place n the north side of the Wild Horse, below Adams. The file ongiuated from the belt of the separator, but the machines were saved. Forty-two acres of grain in stack were destroyed, how ever, making quite a serious loss, as it would ' have averaged forty bushels. . A brisk breezs blew, and the only thing that stopped tbe fire was a large body of sum mer fallow that luckily bai pened to nter vene between it and other grain fields in the direction o' the wind. Goldend le Sentinel: After the First Na tional bank of The Dalles had closed its doors on Monday there was a run made for a short tim - on the other two banks. Every demand was promptly met till the timid crowd got ashamed of themselves and stopped their idiocy. The Smtinel is pleased to be assured that he folly is rot likely to be repeated. v hen depositors found they could get their money for the asking they did not want it. 1 here was as much sense in making a raid on Dan French's bank as they would be in makin a raid on the bank of Kngland.

Some weeks later a city millinery firm received a etter from an Ala bama customer stating that the bonnet she ordered had enme all right and that she was pleased to find a diamond among the lace trimmings. Not thinking that it was a preeut from the firm, she said that she was aiixious to return it to the owner if she could be found. This is a specimen ef feminind honesty that ia refreshing, since tbe Alabama girl could doubtless have kept tne j-iwel without question. Messrs G. W. Phelp?, El. M.

This morning about 10 o'clock, while Geoige S'ausbury was driving a pair ot partly broken colts to an empty wavon on east E ehth street, Bays the Eugene Guard, they became frightened at a steam wood saw. They ran to the bridge crossing the mill race when Mr. Stansbury succeeded in stopping tbem, but they again got scared at an engine in froot of the Eugene Iron Foundry when they again started in a ran. When they got across the bridge Mr. Stransbury pulled tbem into the fence just opposite to the foundry and jumped out.

A Semeva watchman named Casimir Livan has just completed a watch of which be is the inventor. Instead of striking the hours and quarters, it announces tbem by spe . king like the phonograph. The mech anism of the watch is based on phono graphic conditions, tbe bottom of the case containing a phonographic sensitive plate, which has received the impress 00 of the human voice before being inserted in the watch. The ditk has 48 concentric grooyes, ot which 12 repeat the hours, 12 the hours and quarters and 12 more those of the boars and second aod third quarters. Ii the hand on the dial shows tbe time to be 12.15 o'clock, one of tbe fine needle points of the mechanism crosses the corresponding groove and the disk, which torus stim ultaneously, cal b out the time, just as the phonograph cylinder. The lower lid of the case is p ovided with a tiny mouthpiece, and when the watch is held to the ear the sound is all the ninre plain. OREGON WEATHEE SEBVIOE. The following ia the weather report for the week ending Tuesday, August 15, from the central office in Portland: EASTERN OREOOK. Weather The lore part ot the week was warm, but the latter part was dead edly cooler, with light frosts on the higher elevations: an occasional sprinkle of raiu fell, though practically there was no rainfall. Tbe mean temperature varied from 63 to 70 degrees, as against 68 to 7 degrees the preceding week. Crops Harvesting is in progress throughout the 'oluuibia river counties, in Union and in part of Baker county ; ii. the counties to tbe south it will begin next week. Some threshing has been dene and the yield is beyond all expecta tions. The wheat, oats and barley crop will be excellent, the total product fully equal to or greater than that of any former year. The quality will be good too Some larmeis are troubled about how to get the money to have their grain har vested, and how to get the sacks to sack it. The alfalfa crops are good, and the re aorta indicate a plentiful hay crop for next winter. The fruit is ripening nicely and will be freer than usual from insects. The compiler of these bulletins, B.

To Stay Execution, Salem Statesman. Governor Pennoyer will to day send a letter to the members of the legislature re questing their opinions as to the advisabil ity of calling a specialseasion of the legisla ture at an early date for the purpose of pas sing a law to stay the execution of judg ments. The governor has written this let ter in re ponse to requests in numerons let ters from Eastern Oregon and other portions of the state asking that some such action be taken. Tbe circumstances set forth in the letters asking lor such relief are that the times are hard, money cannot be had on even the very best -of security, and the persistence of creditors would have the effect of utterly ruining whole counties of the state. Grain is of good quality but rather under the usual yield per acre in Ea-tern Oregon and the urico is but three fourths as much as it was last vear. This leaves the farmers not much above tba actual cost ot production aod it is oat of the questioa for them to think of paying heavy debts from the pro ducts of their fields. The laws of Oregon at nresent permit the taking .of a man's - - K w property for debt and selln g it for a mere fraction of tbe amount it is actually worth. From this procedure the debtors want re lief The governor thinks the laws now in force would form a considerable measure of relief if debtors would take advantage of all the provisions. ' In some instances cited the feature of usurious interest would have been ample safe guard against oppression if the law in that particular had been in voked. But the demand seems to be for a definite and distinct stay law that shall give the debtor a year before a judgment against him can ba executed. -This pro- Vision, tbey think, would take tbe poor farmers out of the clutches of the money lenders. "Would such a law bring tbe relief which the writers of these letters expect?' the reporter said. ' t 'Not unless congress passes a free-coin age law," responded the governor, and be repeated it as if it were a well settled coo viction with him. "If congress fails to pass such au act," said be, "a state law to stay execution of judgment will only prolong tbe misery of onr debtor farmers. Bat I want to see what the legislators think about the matter so that I may act intelligently." ' waters of Hood river.

Trout very plentiful in tbe lake, and the young men caught a few hundred besides the nec essary number for food. On three sides are precipitons mounta ns, and, while going down these is not tiresome, climbing up the steep sides is not holiday sport. There were no large game in the vicinity; but grouse were numerous, and these were verv palatable. They constructed a raft, and on it tbey would fish for several hours dunug the day. In places, going and coming,tbe passed over large snow fields, and on the banks of the lake are drifts four or five feet deep. Tbe te uperature ia much cooler thaa at Tbe Dilles, and every night blank ets were very agreeable.

There are many ingen ious methods adopted . to accomplish this. which show skill and intelligence. One is to have a character whiob may be easily made by transforming letters by points or ines into different shapes. We were shown a device this morning nsed by cattle-tbieves which can be made from almost any letter in the alphabet, and in such a manner as not to be readily detected. There are other plans followed, no " doubt, . and which have not yet been discovered. No doubt can be entertained of the existence a well organized band of horse and cattle thieyes in this county, which auxilary to similar gangs in Wash- ngloo, Idaho, Montana and even British Columbia. The first object is to remove the stock from tbe range, and then the branders an begin their work. After this has been done effectually, hardly any man can swear to bis horse or cow, without there are other distinguishing marks than the brand. Dick Turpin, Ja k Shepbard and Jonathan Wild bad reduced to a science in old England more than a century ago robbery and burg lary, and in tbe western part of the Amer ican continent,, in this era of tbe world's advancement, as large a degree of intelli gence is exercised in stealing domestic ani mals. An interesting chapter of history is yet to be written of the operation of these cattle thieves on the Pacifio coast; bat farmers and stockmen won d feel better sat isfied if the heroes of the tales should spend few years of their lives inside the peni tentiaries in the northwest. TT-i T: ft ! veierau xiromaa urgauizaT-ion. A movement ia on toot in this city to form an organization known as The Dalles Veteran Volunteer Firemen's association. The requisites are that the firemen be of twenty years standing, and are now ex empted from active doty. Already the fol lowing names have been signed: E Schutz, ex chief engineer, joined Jackson Engine Co, 1863; 3 Klein, ex-secretary, joined Jackvon Eugioe Co, 1863; J B Croasen, member of Jackson E igine Co, 1864; Chaa P Lauer, 1865; Frank Egan, 1869 The following persons, members of Jackson En gine Co. over 20 years ago, are still in the city: H Klindt, L Newman, H Whitmore, W Weggermao, Henry Clerish, G A Liebe, U Wolf, E Schanno, A. Hoguemn, Geo, Wil liams; of Grant Hook and Ladder Co: J W Blakeney, George Ruch aod Wm Micbell. These are requested to call at the Office of Judge Schutz aod attach their names to tbe organizition, and all others who were mem bers of any fire company in this city prior to 1873 will be welcome. Badger Lake. Mr. D. S. Dufnr and Mi. N. J. Sinnott returned last evening from a few days' ouU ng at Badger lake near Mt. Hood. They report having a very agreeable time fishing and banting, and teel very much improved in health from the vacation. The lake is about forty miles from Tbe Dalles by tbe route they followed, and is near the head- For A Special Session. Uoyernor f ennoyer nas addressed a copy the following letter to each representa tive and senator, who are members of the present general assembly: Salem, Aug. 15. Dear air: Having received numerous communications urging me, in view of the present financial stringency to call an extra session of the legislative assembly .for the purpose of passing a law for tbe stay of exe tion on all judgments for one year, I re quest that you as a member of the state legislature, would express your opinion as to the advisability of so doing. Yours Respectfully, Sylvester Penkoteb, Governor. The governor's plan seems to be to not cad tbe legislature unless he gets enough re sponses favorable to such a law to ensure the passage of it, and thus avoid tbe ex pense of a useless session. A session wonld cost the state about $2000 a day and could not last less than two weeks. The Newspaper. Exchange, A newspaper may boom a town through it editorial and news columns,' but the critical investor looks to the advertising columns for . substantial evidence of push and life. To him they are tbe thermometer. measuring the intensity of the public warmth; they are the pnlse which indicates the healthy or unhealthy condition of -the collective body ot people; they tell hiin what he wishes to know, whether or not the people are up to the times in business mat ters. A home-aeeker, glances at a paper from a town in which he intends to settle, immediately sizes up the business men. If he finds a journal well filled with large ad vertisements ne will believe tbe town is prosperous. Otherwise, if he finds a paper with but few advertisements in it, and a lot of dead matter, he concludes that the place where it is published does a very small business. A respectable newspaper is the best advertisement a town can have. ON TRIAL. That's a good way to buy a medicine, but it's a pretty hard condition under which to sell it.

List Saturday evening at 6 o'clock the eighteen carrier pigeons belonging to Fred Meeker of Puyallup, Washington, says.; the Eugene Guard, were released at tbe passenger depot of the Southern Pacifio railroad company. In the afternoon word was received at Salem that one of the birds h.d reached borne, and at 4:30 three more arrive! and the remainder bad not yet pat in their appearance. Those that did arrive did not make very good time, probably owing to their being bat bve and one nay months old. Yonng pigeons seldom make very notable speed. By tbe time these pigeons are ten or twelve months old they will ba expected to make the entire dis tance between Salem and Puyallup in four hours or even less, thus making fifty miles an hour onaer lavoranie conaition. a soon as the remainder of the birds return home they will be sent to make tbe trip from Eugene.
