The D. P- and A. N- Co-
The Oregonian has the following in
reference to tbe contest now being waged
for the control ef the stock of the D. P.
& A. N. Co. :
"Tbe annual meeting of tbe stockhold
ers of The Dalles, Portland & Astoria
Navigation Company will be held at
The Dalles on Saturday, April 6, and,
if the present board of directors is re
elected, immediate steps will probably
be taken to extend tbe company's opera
tions under provisions of the Smith
traffic law, passed by the last legislature.
"The present board of directors of tbe
navigation company is composed of A.
S. Mat allister, Robert Mays, Orion Kin
ersly, Samuel L. Broks, Hugh Glenn,
Edward Williams and George J. Farley.
ard, with tbeir p raonal holdings and
proxies in their favor, representing a
majority of all the stock, their re election
appears to be a foregone conclusion.
Although one of the most active promo
ters in the company, when it was first
organized, in 1891. D. M. French, the
pioneer banker of The Dalles, is now
engaged witb some friends in trying to
defeat the present board. So far as their
own stock representation goes, they are
in a minority and a great effort is being
made to secure a sufficient number of
proxies in order to gain a balance of
power when tbe annual meeting is held.
An offer was made recently to purchase
what stock Banker French holds, but he
declined, and, following bis refusal, the
value of tbe navigation stock is said to
have gone np from 90 cents to $125;
but those to whom the latter sum was
offered refused to part with their hold
ings, as there ia said to be a 16 or 20
per cent dividend in sight.
"There are 2i shares ot tbe navigation
stock held in Portland, and yesterday,
when Mr. Edward C. Pease, a prominent
merchant of The Dalles, aod a friend of
Banker French, arrived in tbe city, it was
presumed tbat tbe object of his visit was
either to purchase tbe stock of tbe Port
land owners, or, falling in this, to secure
proxies from them, so as to yote tbe
shares at tbe forthcoming annual meet
ing. It is. not believed that Mr. Pease
met with success, if that was his mission.
There were other interested parties also
on the alert, and Vice. President Hugh
Glenn and Mr. George J. Farley, one of
the directors ot the company, also had
business in Portland yesterday, which
proved so successful that tbey took the
return train for heme last night. Director
Karlsy explained tbat,safdiy stowed away
In an inside pocket, he had proxies to
represent 20 out of the 22 Portland s harts,

A Mexican War Veteran.
We received an agreeable call this morn
ing from Mr. Perry Watkins, sr. The old
gentleman is a vetaran of the Mexican war.
and, while in the army was afiiioted with
tbe measles. Not receiving proper medical
care the disease left his eyes in a very weak
condition, and cow, in bis old sge. be is
almost blind. After arriving in Mexico,
during that campaign, he was taken sick
and was in tbe hospital for several months.
Wbcn be was discharged,the physician who
had been very attentive to him, said he
would give him some good advice, and Mr.
Wa:kins expressed his thankfulness to the
doctor, for his personal interest in him.
Then, taking him by the hand, he told him
that when be arrived home to go into tbe
woods and throw a rope over the first limb
and bang himself j that be was a phjsical
wree from the hardships of tbe campaign
and the t fleets of the measles and dysen
tiry fiom which he bad tuffered; that he
would never be a strong man again. Not
withstanding this opinion of the dootor Mr
Watkins regained his health, and is still
bsle and hearty aod enjays life, with the
exception of tbe failure of his sight. He is
a man of excellent traits of character,
highly respected by bis neighbors, and well
informed on all subjects, but being debarred

himself poated on the events of the day

Railroad Matters-
A new time schedule is expected to go
into force on Mar oh 27h. It is not known
what changes will be made io the ruooing
of trains, but these will be so arranged as
to accommodate travel.. Tbe different
I'.nes. connecting with tbe O. R. & N. Co.
will want the time schedule so as to ac
commodate their trade, aod arrangements
may be made to meet these requirements.
Tbe mixed train now running between
Portland and this city will be made a
straight passenger train, consisting of
bagiraee car, smoker, ladies' day coach
and observation car. This train will be
known as No, 7 and S. Train No. 8, east
bound, leaves Portland at 8 A. M, arrives
at Tbe Dalles at 12:15 P. M. ; No. 7, west
bound, leaves The Dalles at 2 p. M., and
arriyes at Portland at 0 :80 P if. This
will be a dally service. Tbe mixed train
has never before run Sundays. The ob
servation car is something new for this
part of the country, and will bo highly
appreciated by the many tourists who
visit tbis sestlon, as well as many of the
local patrons who have never bad an op
portunity to view tbe aeenery between
Tbe Dalles and Portland. This .oar was
built by the U. R & N. Co at its Albina
shops and is handsomely gotten up. Both
sides and ends of the car are open witb a
sort of a canopy top, seats finished in
leather.
It Is tbe Intention of the company to
make a very cheap rate for the summer
months -between those points, and ar
rangements will be made allowing pas
sengers holding local tickets from all
points east of this city the privilege of
stopping at The Dalles ana taking the
rldo down tbe Columbia by day.

Grape Cnltnra-
Mr. J. O. Stiefel, of St. Paul, Minn.,
made us a pleaaint call this morning,
He is visiting this country for the purpose
of planting a vineyard and engaging in tbe
manufacture oi wine, Mr. Stiefel is i
very intelligent man, a natiye of Switzer
land, and has been engaged in wine manu
facture and grape ooltnre tor a long time.
His destination whan ha left St. Paul was
Eennewick in the Yakima country, and
from tbat plaoe he baa viaited the Grand
Eonde ooaatry. Ha baa been at The Dalles
for a few days, and ia highly pleased with
this vioinity.. The toll and olimate he con-
aiders well adapted to grape culture, and he
believes tbtt a high grade wine can bs man
, t r-r ...
uiaoiurca nere. ne Oai with him some
grape plants and will have the neoessiry
maohmery here io a little while for tbs
manufacture of wine, Thia country, he
thinks, should be the vineyard of tbe north
west, and our facilities in this line are not
surpassed anywhere.
Physicians Moat Reirtster.
Tha new mediosl law passed dunog the
recent session of the state legislature re
quires all physicians to register with the
secretary of tbs atate board of medical ex
aminers and take out tbeir licenaea by the
lat ef April. If thia requirement of the
law la not complied with physicians will be
subject to arrest for a violation of the law,
and in order to praotioe thereafter will be
compelled to undergo an examination before
the board. :
All that ia necessary for physicians to do
is to send their certificates to tbe seoretary
of tbe board, Dr. B. B. Miller, witb a
written request for a lioenae. Many appli
cations bays already been received by tha
seoretary. . The board meets on the 27th of
thit month, and by that time Dr. Miller ex
pjots to bave nearly all the applications
fr jm tbe profession In good staadiog in.
Steers Going Up.
Though often deceived by lalse indica
tions, there is reason to h"pe for an Im
provement u tbe prices of livestock. One
reason why it is safe lo look for h raise is
tbe fact that buyers are hustling for cattle
and are bidding sharply for all kinds. It
Is by no means true that a boom .is on la
the livestock market, and it will not be
safe t) count on any bonanza figures. All
range aod agricultural products are low
and cannot under present conditions
reach old-time high prices. But advances
of one-quarter or one-halt cent are wor
thy consideration when the quoted pnoe
delivered here is i.7 An opinion on
tbis subject is given by The Proeitiovr, a
Journal of tbe market, published in New
Tors and Chicago. The. Provitianer says ;
"There seems to be no longer any doubt
In regard to our cattle supplies. Advices
from all the stock raising states verify tbe
suspicion ecfertalned tor some time tbat
a shortage ot cattle might be looked for
from now on. It will be recalled that we
made a similar forecast a few years ago
and were called to order by several ot our
live stock cotemporaries fur being so em
phatic in ibe expression of our opinion.
Subsequent events, however, showed tbat
our position was correct, as prices went
away up aod prime beef became, compar
atively speaking, a luxury. Tbese condi
tions may exist again, and be to a greater
or less extent ameliorated by tbe recent
narrowing of our export trade through tbe
restrictions which bave been placed upon
it by European governments."
Washington Heard Front-
Tbe Siiera Pott says: Tbe kick again t
Oregon's railroid eotnmiasioo ia not confined
to t'ie atate. From away ap in the atate of
Washington comes complaint, and an appeal
IS made to Governor Lord. W. Q. Rrtd, a
grain dealer of Taoorna, alleges that he has
written repeatedly to tbe Oregon railroad
ooaraision for information aa to freight
rates on grain in Oregon. Mr. Eied states
tbat he has enelossd stamps each time and
offered to pay expenses of information, yet
baa received no reply, and he farther com
plaint tbat tbe Oregon commission is the
only ore that fiat ever refused his drm suoh
information. We shall anxiously await the
ply of tbe eommisaion to this charge
against their ethoienoy, and mora anxiously
await the fats of thia oommiaalon.

Giant Powder Again-
La Grande Chrmicle: Sunday forenoon
some small children playing on the north
side of the railroad track found rail
road torpedo, and with genuine child
like curiosity proceeded to discover what
tbe strange appearing contrivance waa
made ot. Being unable to separate tbe
two pieces of tin which holds tbe torpedo
together one of tbem struck it with a rock
and it exploded witb a loud report. Two
small girls Theresa Crowl and Eva
Baker were somewhat injured by the
explosion, tbe former by a badly lacer
ated band, and the other ooe by being
considerably powder burned on the side
of the face.
Tbs Bortiooltoral Bill
In tbe press of business attending tbe
olose of tbe legislative session, the new
horticultural law waa temporarily loat eight
of, and the efforts of the clerks in the seore
tary ot state's office to resurrect It have '
thus far proved uosucoeaafnl, so that they
have not been ahle to furnish the pubiio
with a oertified copy aa yet, and the qn'es
tioo ot fnnds cannot be definitely stated
However, Asttstauy Secretary of State
Lovell says that be thought the matter of
funds oould be satisfactorily arranged, snd
tbat if a meeting of the board were oalled
In tbe near future, the ' treasurer might
safely draw from the appropriated fund
anffioient to pay the expenses and per diem
of the members.
A Gold Bnff.
The Portland Telegram haa the following.'
A miner named Frederick Hoiton came
here from Biker sounty this morning, carry
ing witb him a valise tilled with gold nag
gets, the weight of whiob made him stag
ger. Seme of tbe nuggets weigh 3000,
and the whole treasure was dug out of a
pocket by himself and his pirtaer, Henry
Sanderson, within the past four daya. Hoi
ton and Sandorsoa ba J been prospeoting in
the hills of Baker oounty almost a year
without making "grub" money, and a week
ago tbey were about abioddaing the field
aud returning to C4iforoia. Oa Tuesday
last tbey saw some float rock close to their
temporary oamp, and following it up they
atruok a pocket, from wbioh, Holtoa says,
tbey haw already taken 840,000. He .be
lieves tbat there ia $500,000 or more of gold
in tbat depository, wbicb can be taken out
witb no cost beyond their peraonal labor.
The exaot location of tbe claim Hoiton says
he will not divulge till be and his partner
have taken oat all there is in it.
. A Poetical Advertisement-
An Astoria painter advertises in a style
of which tbe following is a sample: And
tbe little Swopesyswipnsy learned of every
paint its color, learned its name and com'
binations, bow to mix it on bis palette; bow
to mix it up in bucket! bow to put it on
with brushes, put it on and malts it stay
there, make it stick and stay there tightly,
so the sun's rays would not blister, snd the
fogs and damp of winter would not fade or
obaoga the color. With bia brushes made
of bristles from the wild boar of the forests,
and the hair of hear and sable, and tbe
long hair of the oamel, these he handles
quick and deftly; fashions witb them many
letters, varioua in style and color, that
adorn the signs of oommsroe, advertising
firms and business on the wigwam of tne
paleface.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies,
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion ef the mucous lining of tbe eustach
tan tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
heving, aad when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation-
can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of tbe
mucous surfaces.
We will giye One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
