As the region in the vicinity of this city has been thoroughly prospected for relics of the aboriginal race and of their con ceptions of art, "curioa a e becoming . quite rare, and on account of scarcity increase in value- In a few years these collections will be highly prized.. The Portland branch of the industrial army left that city early this morning, enroute for Washington. Between Portland and Troutdale they attempted' to capture a freight train, but were un successful, as the cars rushed past them at a rapid rate. . They may be expected here tonight, if they succeed in captur ing a train, and perhaps will remain here a few days. " They will need rest and recuperation, and The Dalles is well situated for these purposes. Our - atmosphere is very healthful, and the grand scenery will unquestionably be attractive. . Albany Democrat : Saturday evening about 7 o'clock Charley Meyer, a son of Mr. Conrad Meyer, was on the bank of the Calapcoia, in the rear of the ice works when he fell down the bank into the river, a distance of forty or fifty feet A gentlemen who witnessed the affair gave the alarm, and Mr. John Deakins, who was at. home near by, rushed down the bank and . plunged, into the river after the boy, and after a vigorous swim, caught hold of him, and soon had him safe on the bank. . It was a prompt and brave act, and Mr. Deakins deserves a medal. The boy was taken home and is now recovered from the effects of the accident. B. V. -Bulletin: A local estimate puts the number of Chinese in Oregon at 15 -000. There were less than 10,000 by the census et 1890. California then bad about 72,000. Importation via Victoria and the underground railroad has been active daring the last four years. Chi na -men are hard to count, and probably 25 per cent would be a fair estimate of the percentage uncounted by the census tak ers of 1890. At this rate there should be west ot tbe Rocky mountains more Chi namen than tbe last census gives to the whole United States 10',475. Undoubt erf I v that was a very defective enumera tion.

At her home in Linn connty, near Shedd last Saturday, there died an aged lady whose life linked the -present with the past century. Her name was : Mrs. Martha Un derbill, aLd. she was born while George Washington was yet hying. Her birth oc curred at Dorset, Union county, Vermont, 1795, four years before the father of bis country passed away. She died at the resi dence of her -daughter Mrs. Brewer, near Sbedd, at tbe remarkable age of 99 years, two months and 28 days. Ten days ago sho was bale and hearty, strong in mind nd body, and more spry thao most women usually are at 60. A week before bar death however, she was seized with pneumonia fever, and to iu ravages she' fell a victim. She was the mother of thicteeaaatdren fonr of them living, among them A Under bill, of Philomath,? himself a- white-haired-. old gentleman of riper years tban'most men live to attain. The , remains were interred Sunday in the Cashmao cemetery in Linn county. . Populist SpeaklnK. Mr. W. J. Peddicord, the Populist candi date for joint representative from Sherman and Waseo counties, addressed his fellow citizens on the political issues of the day at the court hooso last night. There were not many in attendance, but those pres ent appeared to pay close attention to the speaker. Mr. Petticord is a fluent talker, and has an argumentative style; but we believe bis theories on the money question did not make many converts. When our reporter entered he waa just finishing some remarks about continental money in com- par.son with the issue st greenbacks during the war. Like many of bis. partisans, we presume he believes it W-iS government rob bery for the authorities to daatroy green backs after they had been redeemed at the U. S. treasury. Tuey generally contend that these should be kept io circulation continuously; that tbe people bad coon dence in them, and that was all ' that was necessary to establiah their money value. If tbe United States or any other country were to adopt any o.het methods except tnose pursued iu honest business, the fact would soou develop itse f hat pnbiio : i i I i I - n i etely wrecked. The action of the government iu redeeming it-i pledges and paying every d il lar in-coin when the piper currency come to the treasury constitutes Us ao.veii-y I makes greenbacks at par. On free trade hi did not distinctly denne himself, aod at times oar reporter considered him a good protectionist. He did not con sider that tbe economic polioy of the Re publican partv kept np tbe price of Ameri can wages, and stated that laoorers in nn protected industries were ptid as much as those in protected ones. But Mr, Pedrii cord must not overlook the fact that tbe protective policy io this cauutry has created divers industries, and that these render tbs American laborer independent of any particular employer. If be does not receive suitable wages in one vocation he will leave it tor another, and this forces all employers to B3ale their wag an high as possible io order to retain their worn men. Protection has caused this state of things, and bas done more fur the elevation of tne Ameri can laborer than ail other influences com bined.. The theories of the Populists on the tinan cial question one must cjnuder fallaciou-, lor every attempt made to create fiat money ha-, proved disastrous, b oth on this aid- of the Atlantio and on tbe European contiuent As far as the Republican plan of finances is concerned it has received a practical test for the past thirty year-, aod raised tbe na tion from the dtplurable, bank opt co' di tion iu which she was iu 1865 to one of afflu ence and unexampled pro penty in 1892 No Otber arguuieat need be used. The same can be said of the policy of protection in augurated by the Republican . party, and in the management uf national affairs the same rule applies -is iu uie c in ro uf a coinm iu individual's busiuess uo.uing succeeds like success. Experiments are not the safest or wisest io nationals aff.ir auy more than they are in personal cases. That is always the soundest ami safest that bas stood the test of practical ex erience. In this era oi depression men will look io any direction for relief, acd, like drowniug men. grasp at straws. This may . give a stimulus to the third party ' this year: but whatever attraction it posses es soon passes when facts are iuvestigtted aud results con sidered. . Inquest Held. Mi. L. S.

' 'Tia sweat, yet aad, to,l:ten to the night wind's g Title swell aod think we hear the music our childhood loved so well." Thus a joet snog a lo-g while ago, aud one can rehearse several et-tu-zat of almost forgotten songs these nights while being kept awaka by the tintinabola tioos of the plaintive and resonant notes of tho never-to-be-forgotten cow., bell. Tbe music of tbe lowing berda was that whioh our childhood loved so well, and, removed thousands of miles from the scenes of earlier boyhood, it furnishes a fund of reminis cences ti hear the cowbell en se beside onr chamber doer. Arcadia is hot quite com plete without hogs are turned loose as well as kine, and then sandwich in between pigs and cows a score or two of cats aod dogs and what a happy, contented community Tbe Dalles would become. Arcadia, with ita sylvan banners, its joyous scenes and in nocent amusements would come again. Brlgnt Prospects. Wascocouuty has never presented a bet ter appearance than at the present time. The monto of April, in tnis latitude, is far advanced towards spring, snd tbisNseason vegetation is in a very progressive state An abundance of moisture has fallen during the winter months, and tbe hills are nne continuous carpet .nf green.' Grass was never in better condition, and cattle pastar ing on bunch grass are in good flesh. - Oram never-had such a thrifty appearand in April, and eipecially is this true of fall-sown wheat, which has grown nicely daring the winter months. There coald not be better prospects for crops, and if tho harvest of 1894 is not an abandaut one all signs will be delusive. Wasco connty is one of the best agricultural district in the state, if there ia an nrdinary rainfall dnring tbe winter, and the past season has . been an exceptional one in this regard. If the mar ket prices are fair Eastern Oregon will en joy the full tide nf prosperity, and will re cover from the losses she has suffered dur ing the past few years. South Africa. Mr. George Bentley, who left last November for Johannesburg,returned to the city, after having thoroughly tested to his satisfaction, the bauble of the eldorado of the dark continent. He has been absent about six months,, and while bis journey has cost him a nice little sum he has had valuable exper ience which will act as an object lesson to him in after life . When he left this country for South Africa he imagined that land to ' e the best for the accumu lation of wealth of any on the face of the globe; but, this dream was soon dispelled on his arrival at Johannesburg, and he found the conditions there the same as elsewhere. In the labor mar ket there was a strong competition, and tne mines were not . as rich as represented. The early days of California and Australia were not real ized, and those who followed such delu sions were very much disappointed. A "boom" had been started by men inter ested to cause a tidal wave of immigra tion, and the victims suffered the same hardships as they did in other places. Mr. Bentley did not find any gold lying around loose in Africa, that might easily be picked np by any aimless wanderer, and he considered he left the best country under the son, so he returned. An Old Printer. Esparto, Cal , Pre : Robert Bruce Smith, an old printer, dropped into -our office last Friday evening. Mr Smith began journalistic life by publishing a paper called the Hxrald in Eugene, Ore gon, in the year '61. When the war broke out, Mr. Smith and his associates in the paper failed to agree, he taking the part of the north and they being in favor of slavery, so the publication of the fierald was suspended. Mr. Smith afterwards edited a paper at Tbe Dalles, Oregon, and at other places in Oregon and California. He is agood printer and a good writer ; but, like many others, had not the good sense to keep that which he made when times were prosperous with - him, but formed the habit of traveling from place to place, with the result that he is now an old man, growing feeble with age, . without money or friends, and wander ing aimlessly about, unable to get work at his trade. A few more years of wan derings, and some day he will lay his body down never to rise again. It mav be along some highway, or in some sheltered nook in the city. He will be found but will be unknown, unrecog nized ; and will be buried away in the potter's field, without a single friend to shed a tear over his grave' or say a few kind words in honor of his memory. 'Wedlock. There is other business transacted by justices of the peace than adjudicating criminal cases or civil suits, and his honor, E. Schutz enjoyed a change this morning irom the usual monotony . of hearing complaints by John Doe against Richard Roe. A young and blushing couple consisting of Mr. Horace Wither- wax and Miss Mary Lusk appeared be fore him, armed with the necessary marriage license. . He marched them to the court house, and in the circuit court room pronounced, the words that made them husband and wife They departed very happy, and the justice himself did not appear in the least dissatisfied. His only regret is that many more do not go and do likewise. HOW'S XH1! We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward lor any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. . ; - F J.
