Portland, May 6, 1895.
Editor Tims-Mi cTAUUta:
Eight delegates left by the steamer
Regulator yesterday morning, repre
senting The .Dalles Sunday schools,
and arrived in Portland in due time.
The convention, which holds its ses
sion in the new and beautiful First
Congregational church, was called to
order in the evening by the president,
H. M. Clinton, of Portland.
Dr. Wallace, the pastor of the
church, was then introduced, who de
livered the address of welcome, ex
tending the freedom of the city to the
delegates, and closing with the advice
to drink Bull Run water, which would
be found free.
This was followed by the address of
the president, which was very helpful.
Kev. A. Lt. Hutchinson's address on
Better Things" was divided into four
parts: Better Organization, Better
Teaching, Better Knowledge of the
Work, Better Spiritual Results.
The evening session closed with the
social hour and benediction.
SECOND DAY WEDNESDAY.
Portland's bright sunshine greeted
us Wednesday morning, and cheered
and warmed by its benign rays we
gathered again at the beautiful new
Congregational church, corner of Park
and Madison streets.
President Clinton was hardly as good
as his word, for last evei..ng he told us
he would begin promptly at o'clock
if another person and himself were
present; but at 9:10 the devotional ser
vices began, lea by ur. ixeisenaoner,
of Arlington, who read a lesson from
Keel, xii, beginning, "KememDer thy
Creator in the days of thy youth."
After singing we joined in a prayer by
the leader. The grand old nymn,
Sweet Hour of Prayer," closed the
devotional services.
The bishop of the United Brethren
church was introduced by the presi'
dent, and made a few well chosen re
marks.
Reports of county associations were
read, while a map dividing the state
into counties was being put up. The
association then sang "Blessed be the
Fountain."
Some points in county work by W.
S. Gilbert was read by Mrs. Hall, the
emphatic one being "The most import
ant part in county work is, a man to
do the work."
Mr. Holt, of Multnomah county,
made some helpful suggestions.
Report of executive committee was
read. The state work has been act
ively pushed, and a gain has been
made during the year. A state paper
and normal work were recommended
mate, the stage driver said, had been
killed by a coyote en route. Mr. Wise
man has passed through the Hunter's,
Warrior's and Chief's degrees, and has
the proper respect for the American
bird, which all Redmen consider the
emblem of freedom and patriotism;
but he has little knowledge of birds
when he takes a bunchgrass owl for
the bird of liberty.

cost from $50,000 to $75,000 and will be

- meeting of the city council was held
this morning to consider , the matter.
There is no excitement, nor is there
very much talking being done about
the mining industry in Southern Ore
gon; yet it is a fact that there are
more mines in active operation in this
, section .than any other in the state.'
Considerable gold is being taken out
right along, and people do not notice
it any more than in any other branch
of business. Some of the mines have
been yielding a handsome income to
their owners for years, and others just
as valuable are being opened up every
week.

The Eugene Reaister says: The Pay-
ton comedy company presented at the
opera house last night the interesting
comedy, "Seth Swap," followed by a
laughable farce, "Dodging for a Wife.
Senter Payton certainly "swapped"
for "Seth" in a most admirable man
ner; and his daughter Lucy carried the
part of "Miralda" in a way that
charmed her audience; in fact, the
whole cast did well, and those who
witnessed the performance went away
well satisfied. The farce consisted of
one round of fun and ridiculous situa
tions, and was weff" received. This
ends the Payton Comedy Company's
engagement here after, a run of five
nights, which have proven, from a fin
ancial standpoint, to be. the most lucra
tive that has been done in the theatre
line in Eugene for a long time. They
may come this way again, bhouldthis
be the case, it is a foregone conclusion
that they will be greeted by good
houses.
Oregon'! Lien Lands.
Salem Statesman: A Statesman re
porter yesterday saw a letter written
by the commissioner of the general
land office at Washington, . W,
Lamoreax, to State Land Agent Dav
enport from which was gleaned the
amount of land to which the state will
be' entitled in lieu of sections sixteen
and thirty-six of the unsurveyed areas
contained within government forest
and mineral reserves. The commis
sioner furnished the list at the request
of Senator Mitchell and Congressman
Hermann. The showing is as follows:
In the Cascade reserve 285 sections;
in Bull Run reserve nine sections and
in the Ashland reserve two sections;
total 296i sections or 189,600 acres.
This will form a tangible basis from
which Mr. Davenport can proceed, the
next step necessary being to ascertain
where suitable land can be obtained in
lieu thereof.
The Japanese Army.
An American, who has been making
a study of the Japanese army since the
opening of war with China, says it
maintains the most rigid discipline, the
soldiers taking fierce pride in obeying
all orders to the very letter. They
march without music or banner, mov
ing shoulder to shoulder without song
or jest or laughter, the rattling of
their equipments being the only sound
that is made. They arouse themselves
without the reveille, and they retire at
night without drum or bugle. Once
before a battle, the correspondent
heard them singing, but they were
fierce songs of war and not songs of
home. The only emotion they display
is a wild pride in their country, and
this is the feeling that carries them
into a battle with impetuosity.
A Wool Item. .
Oregon stands seventh of the states
in the number of her sheep, having 2,
456,077. She is fourth in the produc
tion of unwashed wool, having 19,648,
616 pounds, and fourth in scoured wool,
with 6,877,016 pounds. . Ohio ranks
first with Texas a very close second
and California third, with only 210,000
less sheep. Texas produces the most
unwashed wool, but her product loses
63 per cent in scouring, while that
from Ohio loses but 52 per cent, so
that the latter outranks her in the
scoured product. Oregon wool loses
65 per cent weight in scouring. The
average weight of the Oregon fleece is
8 pounds.
. Portage Freight Bates.
The portage railway commission has
decided to materially reduce the freight
rates over the portage line. The com
plete schedule has not yet been made
public. On groceries and many gen
eral freight articles the reduction is
from 60 to 40 cents per ton; on wheat,
wool and other articles, from 40 to 25
cents per ton. It is estimated that
from 6,000,000 to 7,000,000 pounds of
wool will be shipped from The Dalles
this year, and this reduction will en
able the boats co-operating with the
portage railway to compete with the
railroad.
Spanish Gulch.
Mining in Spanish Gulch in Grant
county is being carried on quite exten
sively this season, and the returns
have been very encouraging. The
Joles Bros, have good paying claims,
and are working a large force of men.
They are industrious and enterprising,
and will make mining pay if it can be
made so under any circumstances.
The Chinese company, which has been
at work there for years, appear to
make good wages, and this season new
ground is being opened up.

Portland, May 9, 1895.
The bright sunshine of the morning
was changed to clouds and rain about
1 o'clock; but the enthusiasm of the
convention was not dampened, though
some of the delegates were.
The devotional service in the after
noon was led by Carl A. Hanson, of

"Preparation of Teachers" by Presi
dent W. C. Hawley was very suggest
ive, and if the thoughts thrown out
were heeded we should haye better
prepared teachers.
Prof. H. L. Bates' (of Forest Grove)
paper "On Teaching" was very inter
esting, and showed that any one wish
ing to be a successful teacher must be
trained in his work.
Charles H. Curtis' essay on "Normal
Work" was a very able paper, and the
audience showed their appreciation of
it by enthusiastic applause. He rec
ommended that a uniform normal
course for the Sunday school workers
of the state be prepared and presented
for our consideration at the next con
vention.
The agent of the American Bible So
ciety made a lew remarks.
A five minute prayer service was
here introduced.

showed a balance of $72 and unpaid
pledges to the amount ol more than
$60, but liabilities amount to more
than $100.

THIRD DAY THURSDAY.
Another bright morning found the
convention assembled in the usual
place, but much reduced in size, as
many have gone to Salem to attend
the Oregon Christian Endeavor Union.
which begins its session this after
noon.
Mr. Powell's talk on "The Black
board" was the first exercise of the
morning.
Then louowea irroi. William wiia-
er's paper on "singing," ana James
Edward Blair presented the subject of
Grading in the Sunday schools."
During the business hour the subject
of a state paper was discussed, and it
was finally decided to publish one aa a
means of communication between the
state secretary and the Sunday schools
of the state.
Several members of the convention
made a visit to the Baptist church, by
invitation, and Dr. Grant, the pastor,
gave a full explanation of everything
in connection with the handsome and
commodious building.
in the afternoon primary work was
considered, and Miss Ingals read al
verv interesting paper on "What to
Teach." The opening and closing of
this discussion was conducted by Mrs.
Ford.
Mrs. P. S. Knight, of Salem, gave
the next paper on "Kindergarten
Work," and this was followed by an
essay on the Home Department class
by Rev. R. A. Rowler.
The committee on resolutions re
ported appropriate ones, which were
adopted, and the convention closed
with the benediction.
A Delegate.
A Small Burglary.
Last night the front doors of the
store of E. J. Collins & Co. were brok
en open by means ol a chisel, and
both tills emptied. - Nothing else
in the store was disturbed, and the
amount of money which the burglar
got away with was 8 cents. Mr. Collins
is a wrmui uusuov hud, sou leaves
no money in the till when he locks np
at night. At what hour the burglary
was committed could not be ascertain
ed, as it was not discovered until this
morning, and no one sleeps in the
store. If the proprietor had left his
money drawer full, the burglar or
burglars would have been richer and
he a wiser man. as it was nothing
was lost of any value, and the attempt
will not likely be made again.
Rich Gold Strike.
A report from Union says: "Last
Thursday night a large cave took
place on Sturgil bar, where Captain
Robinett was in charge of the nozzle,
and an examination showed nuggets
of all shapes and sizes. The workmen
quickly picked up $14,500 in gold, in
dinner pails, and many thousands of
dollars more are actually in sight.
Everybody in this section is now look
ing for high bars and coarse gold
channels on Snake river, and the most
intense excitement prevails among the
prospectors.
A Mistake in Birds.
Mr. W. Wiseman, of Antelope, the
man who imported tne thrush from
Ireland last year, being a member of
the Improved Order of Red Men, and
being desirous of presenting to a
brother "Injun" a becoming present,
captured what he supposed were two
eagles and sent them to Mr.,F. W.
Silvertooth, of this city. Yesterday a
box arrived by stage, and on opening
it Mr, Silvertooth found one ow( The
Kemlniscenses of Early Days at The
Dalles and Vicinity, When Justice
Followed Primitive Methods.
Mr. D. B. Butler, one of the first
white settlers of Wasco county, came
in town from Dufur today. He resided
here during territorial days, and when
the limits of Wasco extended from
the Cascades to the Rocky mountains,
and from the California line on the
south to the Columbia river on the
north. Mr. Butler was one of the
first constables in this precinct, and
his bailwick extended from the Cas
cades on the west to Ft. Hall,
now Idaho, on the east. He
relates his experience in serving a
subpoena, issued out of a justice court
at The Dalles on a man residing at the
latter place. It took him just a month
to make his return, and it cost the de
fendant $200 to bring the witness to
this city. Those were "flush" days;
but law courts were a luxury that were
not resorted to as a pastime, and on ly
when other remedies failed. Shot
guns and pistols settled disputes more
frequently than civil or criminal pro
cesses ol courts. The people were
wary about taking advantages of their
neighbors in any transactions, and the
possession of property was rarely in
terfered with, for it usually meant a
coffin for one or the other, with little
if any investigation by a coroner's or
grand jury.
Eastern Oregon Wheat.
Senator Mitchell has prepared for
the National Geoararihical Maaazine.
published at Washington, D. C, an
article on Oregon, giving its history,
geography and resources. Regarding
the great wheat-producing Inland Em
pire, the following extract is made:
"lt is estimated that there will be
shipped the present year from the city
of Pendleton, the county seat of Uma
tilla county, located on the trans
continental railroad, 6,000,000 pounds
of wool; while from The Dalles, "the
county seat of Wasco county, an equal
quantity will be shipped. A large
portion of the state, notably Umatilla,
Union and Baker counties with
several others in the Eastern section,
and Coos and Curry counties, in the
Southwestern portion, are admirably
adapted to sugar-beet culture. The
beets grown here are said to yield a
larger percentage of saccharine matter
than those produced elsewhere; while
20 tons per acre is a moderate estimate
of the annual crop."
Three of the First Pioneers of Wasco
Meet and Rehearse Their Experiences.
This morning three of the first
pioneers of the region east of the Cas
cades met in this city ana renearsea
their early adventures to a crowd of
eager listeners. Capt. Amos Under
wood was the earliest settler, and has
lived in this vicinity since 1852. He
was the commander of the little band
of heroes who went to the relief of the
settlers at the Cascades in 1856, before
Lieut. Sheridan afterwards Gen.
Sheridan of the Union Army, and one
of the leading generals of the civil
war marched his command forward
and punished the Indians for their
barbarous acts towards defenseless
women and children. The captain and
his volunteers stopped the redskins in
their devilish .work, and Sheridan fol
lowed soon afterwards and gave them a
lesson which they have not lorgotten.
Although past the meridian of life, he
is still as hale, hearty and active as he
was twenty years ago, and is possessed
of a very retentive memory. The inci
dents of that terrible episode in the
history of the northwest is still fresh
in his mind, and their relation adds to
the esteem in which all old pioneers
are held by those who settled in this
region at a later date.
The next on the list in point of time
of arrival was Mr. D. B. Butler, the
first constable of Dalles precinct, men
tion of which is made elsewhere. He
recollects distinctly the massacre at
the Cascades, and the escape of the
steamer Mary with the crew and one
or two passengers from the murderous
savages.
Capt. John M. Marden, in business
in this city, came in 1854, and there
fore comes later on the list than either
Captain Underwood or Mr. Butler; but
he is not behind either of them in
thrilling experiences. He was judge
in this precinct in 1858, and his remin
iscences of the manner of administer
ing justice is something very interest
ing, and will form the substance of a
future article for the Times-Mount-aineer.
At the time Lieut. David
Mcl. Gregg was commanding at Warm
pring agency, Marden was captain ol
a volunteer company which did good
service against the snake Indians. On
the 4th of July, in the later fifties, a
celebration was held at the agency,
and Capt. Marden wished to display
the perfection in discipline of his vol
unteer company to the regulars under
command of Lieut. Gregg. To reach
the camp of the latter a stream had to
be crossed on a foot log, and this was
considered the proper place for Capt.
Marden to line up his men. The reg
ulars had drawn up on the right of the
stream with weii-orusned uniforms
and burnished buttons and arms at
present, when Marden gave the orders
to "Right Dress;" "Load;" "Fire."
This was done in honor to the flag'
and out of respect to the military
branch of the government. The guns
were muzzle loaders, and as they were
discharged each soldier was thrown
from his position on the log into the
water about breast deep and cold as
melting snow could make it. It is un
necessary to say that Lieut. Gregg and
his blue coats forgot the rigors of dis
cipline for a moment, and joined in a
hearty laugh at the volunteers. The
boys scrambled to the bank as soon as
possible, wet aa drowned rats, and sev
eral without their guns. They swore
vengeance against Marden, who was
safe on the bank when he gave the or
ders; but his excuse was that it was
impossible to "line" his men in any
thing like military precision except he
placed them against the side of a barn
or on a foot log over a mountain
stream, and he did want them to show
to an advantage in present of Lieut
Gregg's regulars. Mr. Butler was one
of the men who lost his - gun in the
stream, and says he has never "got
even" on capt. Marden lor that little
trick of his.
The time was spent very enjoyably
by these three old pioneers, and their
experiences will form many an inter
esting chapter, yet unwritten, of the
early settlement ol the northwest.

The Single Standard.
The Prineville Review says : " One
day last week as Mrs. Perry Poindex
ter was preparing some chickens for
the table, she discovered among the
waste some shining substance. Upon
examination it turned out to be a grain
of pure gold about half the size of
a wheat grain. The chicken had evi
dently picked it up with some small
gravel for the purpose of pulverizing
its food. The chicken came from a
ranch about 12 miles southeast of town.
Mr. Poindexter informed us that a
thorough investigation has been made
of "the premises, and no gold was
found, except small prospects."
The Mullan Family.
The Walla Walla Union says: "Capt.
D. W. Mullan, U. S. Navy, and com
mander of the Mohican, now anchored
at Tacoma, is in the city visiting old
friends. No doubt old settlers will re
member that interesting family.
There were Captain John Mullan, the
builder of the Mullan road, Dr. James
Mullan, Louis Mullan the lawyer, and
Horace Mullan, an ex-captain of the
U. S. N., besides Fred and Charles
Mullan. The latter in early days used
to run a sawmill. There were seven
brothers of them, but they are all dead
now, save the captain, who is in Wash
ington, and with, him is Horace, and
this gallant navy officer, D. W. Mul
lan. While writing this article he
dropped anchor in our office, enter
tained us with a pleasant chat, for he
is a man full of genuine and heartfelt
friendship. He left last night for Ta
coma, and the good wishes of many
newly made friends go with him."

A suit has been commenced against

. Excursion Postponed.
The excursion and picnic, to be
given by the Redmen's Social Club of
this city, on May 12th at Bonneville
and Cascade Locks, has been postponed
until further notice. This postpone
ment was had on account of the cold,
disagreeable weather that has prevail
ed during the week, and for the further
reason that the high stage of water
precludes a comprehensive view of the
government work at the Cascades.

Dr. Pierce was first

Once Used, they are Always la Favor.
Assist Nature a little now and then, with
a gentle, cleansing laxative, thereby remov
ing offending matter from the stomach and
bowels, tonrng up and invigorating the liver
and quickening its tardy action, and you
thereby remove the cause of a multitude of
aistressing diseases, such as headaches, in
digestion, or dyspepsia, biliousness, pim
ples, blotches, eruptions, boils, constipa

ous to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their
bowels, they would have less frequent
occasion to call for their doctor's ser
vices to subdue attacks of dangerous dis-
That, of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are uncqualed, is proven by the fact that
once used, they are always in favor. Their
secondary effect is to keep the bowels open
and regular, not to farther constipate, as is
the case with other pills. Hence, their great
popularity, with sufferers from habitual
constipation, piles and indigestion.
They absolutely cure sick headache, bili
ousness, constipation, coated tongue, poor
appetite, dyspepsia and kindred derange
ments of the stomach, liver and bowels.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured
With local applications, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Hall's
Catarrh cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Hall s Catarrh Cure is
not a quack medicine. It was pre-
scrioea oyoneoi tne nest physicians in
this country for years, and is a regular
prescription. It is composed of the best
tomes known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect com
bination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results
in curing Catarrh. Send for testi
monials, free.
