Record: E. T. Judd arrived in Hepp
ner Monday from his eastern home. He
. . is interested in the location of a scouring
mill in Eastern Oregon, an looks upon
Ueppner as a suitable place lor such an
- enterprise. However, rendleton is mat
in e a poll for this scouring mill, and it
- behooves our people to be up and doing.
- It would be a valuable addition to our
- town.
., A real backwoodswoman,born and bred
, in the Vermont hills, was lately taken by
a relative into the heart of Boston culture.
She was taken to lectures on every "ism"
. and "ologyB," to talks on dress retorm
... and exhibition on model living. And one
night, as tbe poor old soul was trudging
" up stairs to bed, she was beard to solilo
quize: "No hell, no flannel petticoats I

Quick sales and no profits " are mak-
mg the Frank Vogt sale a very attractive
one. Public auction will be resumed at 7
o'clock this evening. Daring Thursday
and Friday bargains will be offered at

at 10 A. M. and continuing all tbe day aoc

. East Oregoman: Deputy Sherifi Ritchie
came to. Pendleton on Saturday night's
train .from Milton with an insane patient
named Y. C. Old acre, who has been wan
dering about from place to place in tbe
mountains near Milton. Oldacre came
from Nebraska two or three months aga,
and has relatives living there who will be
notified of his condition. His .insanity is
of a mild type, as he exhibits merely a
desire to roam and has ottered no one
harm or molestation. He is 63 years old.
We received to-day with compliments of
Lieut. - Harry Taylor, corps of engineers,
U. S. A., tbe "Annual Report upon tbe Im
' provement of Willamette and Lower Co
lumbia Rivers and Their Tributaries, Ore
gon and Washington, in the charge of
Thoa. H. Hanribury, Major, Corps ot En
gineers, U, S. A." This is accompanied
by Sh appendix, in which is given a full re
port of the work being prosecuted at the
Cascades. In eyery particular the report
is very complete, and gives a great deal of
interesting statistical information.
The merchants of Heppner are suffering
from many burglaries, and the following
from the Gazette is tbe latest: "Yesterday
morning when Kirk & Rubl opened their
store they discovered that some party or
parties had broken in during tbe night and
carried away groceries of every description.
An entrance was made by crawling in at
tbe rear of tbe cellar window and breaking
a pane of glass oat of the window between
the small ware room over the cellar and
the store, thus effecting an entrance into
tbe store. Groceries, apples,' cigars and to
bacco were missing, though bow much can-
' not be told. An unsuccessful attempt was
also made to open the money drawer. This
is undoubtedly the work of local talent,
. Petty pilfering and thieving is getting to be
a common occurrence. Bar the windows,
bolt tbe doors and load your shot guns."
An inyestigation of the books ot S, F.
Murphy,x-city treasurer of Baker City,
reveals a shortage of close to $4000. A
warrant was immediately issued and Mr.
Murphy placed under arrest. The ex
treasurer said tbe amount of the defalca
tion was $3889, but that bad he had a few
' days longer he would' have been able to
replace every dollar and the city need not
have lost a cent. He said that J. H.
Parker, one of his bondsmen, was willing
to put up $2000, the other bondsman
$1500, it he could possibly raise the
money, and friends would see to the bal
ance. Mr. Murphy stated that he could
hardly account for the shortage, but the
most of it was spent in mining specula
tion. Until a short time since he was
able to raise all amounts, and the reports
were always correct.
' Portland Telegram: Theodore H. Liebe,
who was recently shot by the late Chris
tian Hess, had, up to a few days ago, been
accompanied by a body-guard whenever
he ventured out on the streets sinee his
recovery from the pistol shot that came
within a startling distance of costing his
life. This morning he visited Chief of
Police Hunt, informing that official J that
he yet felt bis life to be in jeopardy,
should be not have protection when on
the public thoroughfares. Mr. Liebe has
a scar over the eye through which Hess
bullet passed, which he will carry to the
end of his days. Otherwise, though, he
is leeling in splendid health, weighing
twelve pounds more since his recovery
than he ever weighed before. .'

Mr. W. E. Campbell arrived in town to
day from the Warm Springs reservation,
where be bas been for the past nine months
finishing a surveying contract. He says be
passed a little snow on tbe high altitudes

unusually mild ao fair this season.
' Eugene Field: It bas been long oar
pandid conviction that if all the dogs in tbe
world were boiled down into one there
would be in tbe result the making of very
noble man. On the other hand we fancy
that if all the men were boiled down into
one there would be in the result tbe making
of a very precious poor dog.
Florence Nightengale recently celebrated
her 73d birthday. She has been confined
to ber house for manv years by constant ill-
health. She makes her home with her
brother-in-law. Sir Harry Vernon, 'in
Devonshire.
Cbas. Finch, a blind boy, who has been
attending tbe institute at Salem during the
past season, was brought up by bx-bov
Moody yesterday. He will spend toe va
cation with h.8 parents in this city, and
after the holidays will resume his studies at
tbe institute.
Governor Wait, of Colorado, has deter
mined to call ao extra session of the legis
lature to take farther action ou the silver
question. Many of the governor s friends
are opposed to this move of bis, out not
withstanding all remonstrance, he bas de
cided to call it.
In the neighborhood of the cut in Union
street where the rock crusher is at work
considerable activity is u-aoifosted, and the
bluff on tha left band side ot tbe road is Oe
coming less every day. wagons are con
stantly engaged hauling away the rock for
tbe improvement of second street.
We have leceived in-exchange tbe Toma
hawk, the new Democratic paper in Port-
bind. It is intensely partisan, and from its
name one would believe it intended to be
aggressive, remaps it does; out ii ic re
lieves it can resuscitate the Democratic
party in Portland it will very likely be mis
taken.
The Union whist olub met last evening
in fraternity ball, and a very agreeable
time was spent. There were ten tables
represented, and games eootinued until a
reasonable hear. Mrs. W. Lord was
awarded the Hi at prize and Mrs. G. C.
Blakely the booby. After the games were
through tbe members enjoyed a social hop
for a few minutes.

sas: 'Mis. loesses glory is in her irrities-
oent zigzag, berpyrated scintilizatioo,

It is tbe dazzle ot . the nnexpected skyward

One the of latest ukases of the Chicago
400 is that tbe eating of cold pigs' feet be
tween the figures of square dances will not
be permitted, and tbe wearing of a silk
handkerchief stuffed in the neck to protect
the dancer a collar in the beat of a waltz.
The precedent thus establisned by the Chi
cago 400 can safely be followed by Tbe
Dalles "social swim," as Pixley calls it.
Salem Statesman: By orders of Governor
Pennoycr, commander in chief of the O. Ai.
G.. a court martial will be held in the cap
itol at Salem on Wednesday, January 10th,
for the purpose of investigating such oases

The state deputy game warden of Color
ado has found another small herd of buffalo,
larger than the one found in Lost Park last
summer, in North Park, Routt county. The
region is more isolated than any other part
of Colorado. Tbe herd is said to consist ot
two dozen rare animals, very tame and fed
regularly by some few farmers who inhabit
the lonely park. These people have consti
tuted themselves special protectors of the
herd. Their existence is kept quiet through
fear of agents of taxidermists and hunters.
The East Oreoonian speaking of the ru
mor that no money was f uod on the body
of Mr. Bushee when niscorered, says: "A
report that Mr. Bushee had $500 on his per
son wlieu he left Portland, and that this
money was missing when his body was
picked up, was in circulation on tl.e streets
this afternoon, it lacks any autlienlication.
Mr. Busbee's watch and chain were on his
person, and wuen ne wis removed to nis
home a purse containing $40 wis found in
his pocket. There is nothing to indicate
foul play."
Parties who came down from Riparia this
morning intorm us that tne trade on tne
Snake river has closed down tor the season,
and the Almota will go into winter quaters
to-day. Tbe bull ot the Annie. Faxon is
now on the ways at Riparia, and the boiler
and machinery is being removed from tne
point on tbe river where the explosion oc
curred to that place. It is not definitely
known what will be done with tbe disman
tled steamer, but it is presumed she will be
tboronghly repaired, tbe machinery re
placed, and she will again enter the trade of
Snake river. ,
The death of Charles O'Neill, tbe Phila
delphia congressman, leaves the economical
Mr. Holman to bear tbe honor of being
father of the house, as he bas served
through fourteen congresses. Judge Hol
man was first elected to tbe house in 1S59,
but be failed of election in 1865, and after
wards "missed the forty-fittb end forty-
sixth congresses. Gen. Sickles was a mem
ber in 1857. In point of continuous ser
vice Mr. Bland, of Missouri, is first, for he
bas occupied bis seat sinoe 1S73, se that
Judge Ho'min's paternal claim is not
wholly nnclouded.
Why," shouted an excited attorney in
Kansas, "you can poke yonr head out of the
court room window and call for five beers
and get them in two minutes." And be
thought be had made a great point against
the "administration" for tbe non-enforee-
meot of the prohibitory laws. But the op
posing counsel promptly opened his watch
and poked his bead out of the window call
ing loudly for five beers. The watch ticked
off two minutes and tbe malt beverage did
not come. The court rnled that the beer
waa not on tbe lawyer who made the bluff,
and there waa a recess of ten minutes.
A tin can filled with a melted mass of
silver weighing about 8 pounds was found
last week by quarrymen near Bonds, Tex.,
baited about 2 feet below the surface in the
banks of a creek some 12 miles from the
Bed river. While Texas was yet a Spanish
province a road known as the Santa Fee
trail ran a'ong beside tbe Red river, and it
is surmissed that the silver was buried by
some traveler .who was hard pressed bv In
dians, and who either was killed or who
could not afterward locate his buried treas
ure. The trunk of an old saddle, found
near the same place a short time ago, was
probably part of the aame way rarer a equip
ment.
Messrs. Thoa, snd Alex. Fargher started
a band of 1700 sbeep to tbeir ranch near
Kingaley this morning. They were on tbe
summer range in Klichitat county until
within a few days past, but are en route to
tbe borne pasture now. In Union atreet
they banched up for quite a while, .and it
gave the herders considerable trouble before
tbey co-Id be made to move in the right
direction. Bat -this was finally accom
plished, and tbey went on their journey to
the winter range. Ia passing through the
street tbey crhirned the mud up in a miser
able shape, and sidewalks and crosswalks
were daubed by their dirty feet.

" Salem Journal- Tuesday forenoon Edgar
Van Avery attempted te jump onto tbe S.
P. yard engine as it waa slowly moving to
ward him, when by a misstep one foot was
caught under a wheel. The young man
buog on manfully or bis entire body would
bsve been drawn under. As it was it be
i same necessary to amputate his great toe.
aud although he suffered great pain, the boy
is quite comfortable to-day. This accident
ahould serve as a strong lesson for boys to
keep away trom moving cars and tiains.
H. C. Stock advertises in a Yamhill
county paper that he will pay no debts oon
trauted by his wife; aod in the same column
Mrs. L. Stock announces that she will pay
none contracted by Herman Stock. The
family evidently does not take much stock
in itself.
ine city is quiet, and no arrests were
made by the police officers last evening.
xnisisas it ahould be, for while our vigi
lant police force cannot find no nefarious
practices by hoboes, we may consider The
Dalles enjoying immunity from petty tbefts
and robberies.
A correspondent wants to know the ori
gin ot tbe phrase, ."He isn t in it. An
eastern editor says that the expression was
nrst used by an editor who died aod went
to beayeo, and looked around for the man
who took bis paper and read it three years
ana tnen ret used to pay for it.
Eugene and Albany are ao nearly equal in
population that the papers are quarreling
about it. The latter polled 600 votes at its
late city election, while the other polled
632 last spring. The Eugene papers, are
crowing, and tne Albany papers ay it was
an "off year" and a light vote. Wonder
what differencejt makes anyway.
Eugene Guard: A gentleman who. came
in from Roseburg yesterday states that a
shooting scrape occurred there on Sunday
crank Kenny, a railroad man, became in
volved in a quarrel, and William Van Karen
interfered to preserve the peace. Kenny
drew a pistol and Van Buren was shot in
the back and dangerously wounded.
We have received from Senator Dolph
tbe published "Letter from the secretary of

cades, The Dalles and other points on this
great bighway of commerce.
Help is needed for the sufferers by the
hurricanes among the Sea islands and along
the South Atlantic coast. (Governor Till
man, of Mouth Carolina, bnds that not less
than $75,000 between now and March will
be needed to care for those whose crops
were destroyed and their food and clothing
supplies thus cut off. Tbe loss ot life
reached fully 1000 persons, and the desti
tute number 20,000.
Thnre seems to be some unreasonable
criticism in the Sound papers about Prof.
nummer s niga tide predictions. Wbeu a
8cientirin man ssys the conditions will le
favorable for certain phenomena, it is not to
his discredit at all if noforseen conditions
prevei.t the realization of his prophecy to
the extent the public interprets it. The
science of meteorology is not precise, but it
is as exact as other applied sciences, and it
utility cannot be questioned. As a matter
of fact, the tides were yery bigo, even ac
cording to the published tables.
East Oreoonian: Paul Showaway came
to town a day or two since, and reported a
difficulty between another Indian, Billy
Craig, and a young son ot Agent Crawford.
Craig alleges that he was riding along and
from some quarter unexpectedly came whiz
zing through his hat brim a bullet from a
revolver. Another followed in a second or
two. He avers the piBtol was in the hands
of young Crawford. Nothing further could
be learned, tbe anair being in the bands of
Chief Peo, who is enjoying himse.'f at
Young Chief's camp at Thcra hollow and
for a time dropping his duties ks protector
of tbe yonng bucks who follow his train.

Fatal Accident.
Wasco Hews; Saturday evening while
on his way to Biggs by way of Fulton can
yon, John King, of Moro, met with an ac
cident which resulted in his death Monday
morning. Be was driving a 6-borse team
and the hill being slippery, he was unable
to bold the wagon with the break, and the
team being unable to keep tbe road, the
wagon was overturned. Mr. King attempted
to jamp, but his feet became entangled in
the lines and he was dragged under the
wheels. Both legs were broken close to tbe
body, and bis back was injured; also sus
taining internal injuries. The team broke
loose trom tbe wagon and ran onto Biggs,
when several parties started out in search
of him. He was found in an almost frozen
condition and carried to Biggs and Drs.
Beers and Smith were immediately sum
moned. Everything possible 'was done for
the suffering man, and Sunday morning be
was taken to Moro, where he died at five
o'clock Monday morning. -

The Sil yeiQaeation.
Thb Dam.es. Or., Deo. 28, 1893,
Editor Tima-MouxTAlUMa:
In your iuue of yesterday, in an inter
view with your reporter, you say, aa might
be expected, Mr. Miller ia a strong advocate
of tbe unlimited coinage of the white metal.
Your inference implies simply because I am
engaged in tbe industry of silver mining
that I favor its free coinage. Might I not
as well as the many thousands on both sides
of the seas have the same pronounced views
on this financial question, and like these
thousaods have no further interest in the
metal other than maintaining it as money.
If you will read up the subject as closely as
I have dono vou will find ever since the
demonetization ot silver by tbe Republican
party in 1873 tbere bas been a gradual de
cline in prices of almost all the staple prod
ucts of our country, especially in wheat
aod cotton as well, real estate and rents in
like proportion to the gradual decline in the
price of silver. Thu has been very marked
since congress made it a commodity and de
prived it of its constitutional money right,
Statistics show clearly this corresponding
decline. I have none at band to quote
from, but refer you to tha very able speeches
and quotations from statistics made by both
U. S. Senators John H. Mitchell, of oar
state, and John P. Jones, of Nevada, in the
U. S. senate as far back as 1S90. In those
speeches they also predicted these same
falling prices to continue and these same
hard times we are now experiencing should
there not be a speedy remonet Zition of sil
ver. What better proof of the correctness
of their opinions than the condition we are
now in would you havt f
You said also in the interview your re
porter attempted to get at the facts only.
but yon did net tell your readers that I was
for the free ao i unlimitedjjcoiuage of silver
for the following reasons: First, became
believe in maintaining botb gold and silver
ss money in preference to one metal only;
second, because I believe bard metallic
money preferable to pap r money if for no
greater reason than tbe former creates and
fosters a great industry - for its obtainaoce
throughout the entire'world, thereby giving
t value in proportion -to the amount of
labor required for its production. While
tbe latter (paper money) made only by
machinery witb bat s promise to pay in
what creating u labor to give it value
should be as speedily as possible discarded
as money, for the safety of all persons and
all governments. It bas no labor value,
therefore is not money in any sense.
Call in your paper money, let . silver ooin
take its place, lend your aid to tbe indus
try of silver mining by the free coinage of
its product, whicb in turn will stimulate
all the other industries of the land and
bring us back to tbe good old times enjoyed
prior to its death blow in 1873.
Respectfully,
C. S. Millkr.
The Monumental.
Mr. C. S. Miller, of the Monumental
mine, is in the city, nd a reporter of the
Times-Mountaineer called on him at
the Umatilla Mouse. As might bo ex
pected, Mr. Miller is a stroDg advocate of
the unlimited coinage of the white metal,
and is of tbe opinion that tbe financial
evils under whicb the United states haye
suffered for the past few months are the
result of the war on silver. While our re
porter did not endorse bis opinion on this
matter, he found him thoroughly conver
sant with every phase of the sabject, and
apparently yery much in earnest in his
views. He has shipped about $8000 worth
of silver bullion trom his mine during the
past season, and he says at the'old price
of the metal this would have netted him
over $15,000. There has been considera
ble exploration work done la the Monu
mental and paid for, and if it had been
otherwise it would not bave'paid to have
placed the bullion on the market. In
other words, he says, the present low
price of silver is fatal to this mining in
dustry. Ia the interview the reporter at
tempted to get at the facts only; but it
seemed impossible for Mr. Miller to im
part the least information without inject
ing into it his pronounced yiews in favor
of free coinage. He believes the govern
ment should accord the same privileges
to the silver miner as la the gold miner,
and both should be permitted to take
their metal to tbe mint and have it coined.
There ia considerable ore in sight at the
Monumental, and Mr- M. says if silver
appreciates his property will be one of
the best in the northwest.

Woodbnrn Burned.
Salem Statesman.
The pretty town of Woodburn was the
scene of a disastrous fire Sunday night,
and where formerly stood one of its fines t
blocks of buildings there Is nothing now
but a mass of charred - timbers, over
-which a tall brick chimney stands guard
as a sentinel. - About half-past " that
evening some passersby noticed a bright
light shining in one of tbe windows of
Bruce Bros.' store, just opposite the de
pot, and seeing that it was a fire they
hastened to giye the alarm.
It was not tea minutes, however, before
the whole upper story was ablaze and
then came an explosion which shook .the
country for two miles around and simul
taneously with it the entire front of the
store caved in. The flames now spread
rapidly and with great fury, and store
after store was consumed. A bucket
brigade was formed, but the small quan
tity of water it could furnish counted for
nothing in the seething mass of flames,
and tbey seemed to mock the gallant ef
forts of the firemen. '
Salem was telephoned to send down a
fire engine, but tbe order was counter
manded soon afterward, for the fire had
gained such headway that it seemed ab
solutely impossible to succeed in check
ing it
About 10 o'clock the flames subsided,
and darkness and desolation reigned over
the spot whjch was once ' Woodburn's
busiest quarter. Then the citizens began
to realize what tbe lack of an adequate
water supply means but too late.
Mr. Dolph's Speech.
Thb Dalles, Deo. 29, 1893.
Editor TuBsMoDXTAUiCSB:
To those of your readers who are inter
ested in investigating pablio questions upon
wbioh tbeir action is expected in behalf of
tha country's progress we urge the exam
ination of the speeoh of U. S. Senator
Dolpb, delivered on the 18th of this month.
As a historical exposition of one of the
great questions of economy, which occupies
the intense interest of the leading statesmen
of all countries, it certainly bas no equal aa
an argumentative speech, and is attracting
wide attention. Mr. Dolph's review of the
application of protection as applied from
the establishment of our government down
to tbe war, which, for the country's safety,
called Republicanism into power, and Mr.
Dolph's showing what tbe effect and saving
nfiuence of protection to ourselves has been,
are of a remarkable character. It ought to
be read by all,
Chinese Registration.
Mr. Russ T. Chamberlain, deputy col
lector of internal revenue, came up on the
afternoon train. He is passing through a
portion of E istern Oregon to fix dates for
tbe registration of Chinese ' nnder the
amendment to the Geary law, extending
the time six -months, and has fixed Jan, 8th
and continuing days for tbe registration in
The Dalles. Each applicant moat produce
one credib'.e witness to tbe fact of residenee
(who may be ot any nationality) and mast
accompany bis or her application by two
unmounted photographs of himself or ber-
aalf. which must be of sufficient size and
distinctness to accurately represent the en
tire face of the applicant, the head to be
not leas than 11 inches from base of bsir
to base of ohm. Bv act of congress ap
proved November 3, 1893, tbe original act
was amended so as to permit all Chinese
who "were entitled to remain in tbe United
States before tbe passage of the act to
which this is aa amendment, to apply to
tbe collector of internal revenue of their
respective districts, within six months after
the passage of this act for a certificate of
residence." This makea it necessary that
ill Chinese laborers wbo made application
aod received certificates nnder the act of
May 5, 1892, as well aa those wbo failed to
comply with the provisions of said act, to
again make application and receive certifi
cates of residence, under the present law;
otherwise, in case of refusal to do so, all
such Chinese persons will be subject to ar
rest and deportation from the country.

As new thoughts of life that rise
Mirrored in a sick man's eyes,
