SATURDAY JUNE 1, 1895
RAILROADS.
The New York Sun has the follow
y Ing in the issue of May 20th, regarding
. the conflict between steam and elec-
tricity: -'.
' "We must suppose that one of the
main subjects of interest at the Inter-
- national Railroad congress to be held
in London, at which there are to be
- many American delegates, will be the
' substitution of electricity for steam as
v a motor power, upon long lines of rail ..
" r road. The question Is a pressing one,
'.'- and cannot be got rid of" or lost sight
" of. The trolley is already used upon
hundreds of short lines and upon many
of very considerable length. Before
- the use of the electric motor can be
extended to all railroad lines, there
are a number , of questions that must
be settled, more definitely than they
have yet been. ; The best chance yet
... offered for. their consideration wiM be
- at the London Congress.
' "We have spoken repeatedly of. the
conflict of interests between the trol-
' ley companies and the steam railroad
companies in Connecticut. The dis
pute there has been carried into the
courts and into the legislature, with
results that have not been satisfactory
to either party, and least so to the
party of electricity. In Pennsylvania,
: also-, the supreme court of the state
has put the trolley at a disadvantage
in so far as long-distance lines are con-
cerned. In New Jersey, likewise,
there is an important legal dispute be-
tween the largest railroad company
; there and an electric company desirous
of running a" trolley between New
York and Philadelphia. There have
' been disputes of a similar, kind in sev-
eral. other states. .. The case against
the trolleys, in most instances, is
- grounded upon the vested rights of the
steam companies.
"The dispute ought not to be con
tinued any longer tban may he neces
' sary for the determination of the
" points at issue. " If electricity is more
efficient, 'more economical, and other
wise more satisfactory than steam as a
railroad motor, the fight 'against its
general adoption cannot be. of any
avail in the long run.- The'existing
' . railroad companies will either have to
make use of it or give place to the new
companies that use it. There is no
sense in delaying the change, if it be
. in truth a practicable and a desirable
change.
"The London congress will be a
body that can render a weighty judg
ment upon the relative value of the
two motive powers for long-distance
railroads.' - - -
ITEHS IN BRIEF.
From Satudsy's Dsilv.

The Dalles takes the lead in early
fruits and vegetables, and todav. from

tion of the northwest can equal this.
v Rain began falling last night, and
... has continued all day. It is expected
' 'the rairihaa extended over a large

shipped to Chicago, and were the prop
erty of McClellan Bros, of Antelope.
Mr. J. Roth has a garden west of the
city, near the Catholic cemetery, in
which he has some very. choice berries
and vegetables. The strawberries in
his garden, grown without irrigation,
are most delicious in flavor.
The police court was not very ac
tively engaged in business this morn
ing. Two arrests were made last
night of persons in an inebriated con
dition, and they were brought. before

Laughlin.
The body of Mrs. F. E. Robinson
was exhumed at Klamath Falls last
week for shipment to Santa Rosa' for
final interment. It required ' the
united efforts of eight men to lift the
casket from the grave, as the body had
become at least partially solidified by
the action of the chalk in the ceme
tery ground. The casket with its con
tents weighed at least 700 pounds, and
no odor was emitted after boring a
hole in the outer boxing.
From Tuesday's Daily.

Sasmus, will render the drama.
Telegram: Soon after June 30th those
Democrats who have been bawling for
the scalp and head of J. Frank Davis,
chief deputy for Collector of Internal
Revenue Blackman, will be satisfied.
Sometime during the first half of July
Mr. Davis will be ousted from office;
that is, he will be permitted to resign.
' Eugene Guard: Frank Cochran, of
Brownsville, a few days ago was hunt
ing for a cow when his dog drove up a
deer. As it ran past, the boy, only 12
years of age, threw a noose over the
deer's head and fastened the other end
to an oak grub. As the deer proved
to be blind it will be of very little
value as a pet.
There were more than 5000 persons
on the river bank to. witness the cere-
mony attending the baptism of A. D. I
Henderson and Di-anK Jeitrey near ;
Murphysboro, Illinois. The reason -for
the large attendance arises from
the fact that these men are guilty of
the murder of James Towle and sen
tenced to hang Friday, May 31. The
men professed religion a few days ago
and united with the Baptist church.
Up to Tuesday, as the dispatches
show, Michigan has had six frosts dur

the first venire: C. H. Hall, A. G.
Hall, W. H. Sharp and J. W. Atwell.

The greatest economy of force is main
tained by this means, and he claims
that an engine constructed on his
plans, of the same dimensions,has very
much more power than one constructed
on those now used. Mr. Parrott has
devoted fifteen years to perfecting' his
mechanical apparatus, and now has
an engine that will work a complete
revolution in machinery. A practical
test was made of the engine this after
noon, and it worked to the complete
satisfaction of those who witnessed
the experiment. .
A PLEASANT AFFAIR.
A Serenade and Presentation of a Gold
Watch to a Member of the Or-,
chestra Union.
A very pleasant event, and one that
will long be remembered by the per
sons present, happened at the : resi
dence of Dr. O. C. Hollister last even
ing about 8 o'clock. Miss M. G. Hol
lister, the doctor's sister, and one of
the teachers in our public schools, is
about to leave the city for Chicago,
where she will remain for some years.
She has been the piano accompanist of
The Dalles Oachestra Union, and the
members of the Orchestra band gave
her a serenade on the eve of her de
parture. But the musical notes were
not the only evidence of their appre
ciation of her worth as a musician and
her efforts in conjunction with theirs
to make the Orchestra Union a suc
cess, and a substantial memento of
their kindly feelings towards her was
a gold watch and chain, which was
presented her on this occasion Rev.
W. C. Curtis, being a neighbor of Dr.
Hollister's, was present last even
ing, and made a very appropriate
presentation speech. It was a com
plete surprise to Miss Hollister; but
the gift and the kindly feelings which
it represented were not esteemed less
on that account. Miss Hollister will
leave tonight or tomorrow for the east,
where she will visit her brother and
sisters, and, perhaps, return to The
Dalles in about two years.

In conversation with James G. Kid
well, son of James Kidwell, who is
supposed to have committed suicide at
Baker City last week by taking poison,
he seems to have doubts about his
father, committing the deed, says an
exchange. It is learned, he stated,
that the old man had considerable
money on his person the evening be
fore his death, and when found had
but a two-bit piece in his pocket. He
advances the theory that his father
was doped and robbed by someone and
from the effects of the drug died. - He
does not know how to explain the let
ter found on the body but thinks it
was a decoy, written by someone who
knows the family, to throw off sus
picion. The matter is to be thoroughly
investigated, and if sufficient evidence
is adduced to indicate murder, steps
will be taken to bring to justice the
guilty party or parties.
Stealing Horses.
Last Saturday night at the dead
hour of midnight Geo. Sebring, who
resides on Pine Creek, was awakened
by the unusual barking of his watch
dog, says the Long Creek Eagle, Get
ting up and going to the window, he
discovered a man near the house on
horseback rounding up his horses and
slowly driving them out of the pasture.
Dressing himself quickly and arming
himself with a shotgun he put out to
welcome the thief. He succeeded in
getting within 100 yards of the man
without being discovered. The
stranger caught sight of him and
wheeling his riding animal spurred
away. No sooner had he turned than
the contents of the shotgun was dis
charged at him, with no apparent
effect than to cause the intruder to dis
appear more rapidly.

High School.
Last night the closing exercises for
the year of the junior class of The
Dalles High School was held at the
Baldwin opera house. There .was a
noblemen. As a boy he recollects him
going among the immigrants who had
lately arrived from the east and sup
plying their wants. He was very kind
to children, and as a pleasant remem
brance he recalls the incident of the
doctor placing his- hand on his head
and asking him pleasantly what he
could do for "my little fellow." That
winter, Mr. Chrisman says, the first
cago Inter Ocean, now on a visit to the
coast, was a pioneer of the Pacific
northwest. He taught school at Mil
waukie, six miles above Portland on
vLthe Willamette, in . 1850, and was
purser on the steamer Lot Whitcomb,
tne nist steam ooat ouiit on tne uoium
bia river. She made three trips a
week between Milwaukie and Astoria.
The only ' stopping places were Port
land and Fort Vancouver.
"At that time," the doctor said in a
recent Interview, "Milwaukie was a
powerful rival of Portland for suprem
acy as a commercial center. The
streets of Portland were so full of
stumps that it took a sober man to
drive through them- I expect to meet
some oi my lormer pupils, now grow

"I team troubled, with. Heart dimeame

Australian Lady Bugs.
Mr. E. Schanno received this morn
ing a number of Australian lady bugs
from the StateBoard of Horticulture of
California. This insect feeds on the
San Jose scale, and has done good work
in ridding California orchards of the
pest. These bugs Mr. Schanno will
turn loose in some of the orchards in
this vicinity, and he has strong hopes
that in a little while the scale will
not be known in this vicinity. Our
fruit and trees have been injured, and,
in many instances, destroyed and ren
dered unfit for market by this Insect,
and the bugs will be given perfect free
dom to feed on the scale.
Suicide at Baker City.
The dead body of James Kidwell was
found in a stall in a livery stable in
Baker City Wednesday morning, says
the La Grande Chronicle. The coro
ner's jury returned a verdict to the
effect that death was caused by the
self administration of alcoholic poison.
The deceased was an early - settler at
Walla Walla, where he has a family
of grown children. He has recently
been engaged in prospecting in the
vicinity of Sparta. He leaves a wife
who is at present a resident of Dayton,
Wash.
No heat Aphis This Tear.
A Willamette valley exchange says:
"Early in the spring many farmers re
ported the wheat aphis present more
or less in several localities. In con
versation with a number of farmers
the past few days we learn that very
few of the bugs can now be seen, and
the prospects are that the wheat crop
will not be damaged by them. Indica
tions point to a bountiful grain crop,
and the advancing price of wheat adds
la strong element of hope for better

Wamie
The Wamie base ball club played a
return game with Dufur yesterday on
tne uuiur grounds.
The weather was the best and the
grounds in first class condition. Many
visitors from the surrounding country
and every body in the town attended
the match. Early in the game there
was some betting on the result; but
after the third inning it was apparent
to all that the Dufur nine were vastly
overmatched owing, some say, to a
disagreement among the players.
Whatever the cause, the visiting club,
to use a slang ' phrase, just "batted
them off the diamond," and our in
iormant says that naa uulur been in
the best condition possible they would
have had to play the best game ever
played in tne county in order to win
The visiting club was made up of
prominent citizens oi yga v aiiey ana
Wamie, and were warmly applauded
at each brilliant play.
This is the first time the Dufur club
has been beaten, but the score of 75 to
13 will probably make up for some of
their great victories. We have not
the score or players at hand.
Memorial Services.
Yesterday being- the last Sunday pre
ceding Memorial day a sermon .appro
priate to tne occasion was delivered at
the Congregational church last even
ing. The edifice was filled with at
tendants, and seats were reserved for
members of the G. A. R. and W. R. C,
who attended in large numbers. The
address was one of Mr. Curtis' ablest
efforts, and the sons' service was verv
excellent, the choir, aside from its
usual well-known vocalists, having
some additions of local talent. It is
very becoming that this day should
always be remembered by appropriate
exercises, and when proper celebration
is not civen it will be evidence of the
decay of American patriotism.
The Berry Season.
Strawberries ' have been ripe for'
some time, and it will take several
weeks to pick the crop and send it to
the eastern market. The returns have
been very encouraging, and Oregon
strawberries are eagerly sought 'in
citiesr east of the Rocky mountains.
r Last year, by reason of the flood, the
Derry naryest or Mood Kiver was al
most a Total failure; -but this year' it
will be more than usually remunera

A HALF CENTURY AGO.
Interesting Notes From an -Old Paper
Printed in 1348.
Mr. J. C. Baldwin has a copy of The
Bee, a daily paper printed in Boston
January 16, 1843. In the news columns
is an account oi commodore Jones
taking possession of Monterey, Calif.,
from the Mexicans, and, afterwards re
linquishing it onhaving learned that
war had not been declared between the
United States and Mexico. It also
contains a synopsis of the message of
President Tyler to the senate, in refer
ence to what had been done regarding
out) (juiuiupu ueaij. xnis article on
Washington news closes with a para-
grapn noting tne fact that the "Ore-
eon discussion had been postnoned."
President Houston, of the republic of
itutw, ib xueubiuueu as Having con
vened congress. News from away out
in the west is dated at Nashville, Tenn..
and the Pacific coast at that time was
almost terra, incognito. It is quite in
teresting to peruse this old paper, as it
gives one an insigrht into affairs a half
century ago, and as every journal re-
nects the community in which it is
published, this may be said of The Bee
Improved Breeds of Sheep.
The remainder of 9000 head of sheeD
owned by Mr. Geo. A. Young, of Bake
oven, were crossed over the Columbia
to Klickitat county this moraine'.
Tney were in nne condition, and no
doubt after feeding: on the nutritious
grasses of Klickitat county, will be in
good shape for the next winter. Mr.
Young has some samples of wool with
him from his Shropshire sheep and
from the mixed flocks Shropshire and
Merino. The staple from the thor
oughbreds is long and of good qual
ity what is usually determined comb
ing wools, i) rom the mixed breeds it
is finer quality but not as long staple.
Mr. Young says the yield is heavier
than from the pure Merino, and for
mutton the Shropshire and mixed
breeds the carcass, is much larger.
Some of the lambs dressed have
weighed as high as 49 pounds, equal to
the weight of two-year-old Merinoes.
To those interested in our sheep in
dustry it will be welcome news that
our wool raisers have . been for years
past constantly improving their nocks,
and now, in Wasco- county, as fine
wool is raised as anywhere In the
country.
. The Parrott Engine.
Mr. D. Parrott has his engine, which
will furnish the power for his air ship,
in the city. He has a caveat on his
invention, and the mechanical prin
ciples are unquestionably new. The
eneine complete weiehs about ' 140
pounds, and is 45-horse power with 200
pounds pressure oi steam. . : Above and
below the shaft are two sets of cog
wheels, ana these worn into a spiral
screw, which multiplies the power
very . mucn.. Tnese cog-wneeis , save
the wear and tear of the shafting, the
pressure being equal above and below.
In the steam chest are numerous little
chambers, which retain the- full force
of the motive power, whether this be
steam, water, or vaporized chemicals. J
- K. Of P. Tisitors.
Grand Chancellor Hill and Grand
Secretary McConnell arrived in the
city this morning from Arlington, and
departed on the afternoon train for
Portland. At 1 o'clock this afternoon
they met some members of Friendship
xuuge in tne naii, ana spent apout an
hour in exemplifying the unwritten
work. They would have remained in
the city until tomorrow morning
the grand chancellor had not received
a telegraphic message requesting him
w rouuru iu xxiuauy as quicKiy as pos
sibly. At some future time he will pay
an omciai visit to friendship lodge,
when he will receive a knightly wel
come. The . ' gentlemen report the
order in a very prosperous condition
in Eastern Oregon, and are very much
pieaseu with tneir visit.
Statistics of the Rebekah Degree.
The following, interesting statistics
have been collected from the annual
address of the president of the Re
bekah branch of the Oregon Odd Fel
lows, Mrs. Margaret E. Kellogg
There have been fifteen new lodees in
stituted and one reinstated during the
past year, making a total of fifty-nine
lodges witn a membership of 3030 in
Oregon. Total membership in the
jurisdiction of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge, 202,649, of which 108,732 are
sisters at last report. At the same
rate of increase the Grand Sire as
sumes that there are 115,000 errand wo
men united in the fraternal work of
Odd Fellowship, within the jurisdic-

"Nothing Mew Under the Sun,"
The Louisville Cknirier-Journal ouotei
scripture against certain mannisl cos
tumes affected bv advanced . women.
but the particular passage was vague
and unsatisfactory in the application.
Much more explicit is the following
from Ezekiel xiii:18-20: "Thus saveth
tne iora uoa: woe to the women
that sew Pillows to their a.rmhnloa.
Behold I am aeainst vour nil
lows, ana win tear tnem from your
arms." It is held in theoloedcal cir
cles that vhen Ezekiel wrote this he
saw in the dim future the craze for
puffed sleeves.

To Summer Pasture.
Hardly a day passes that sheep are
not driven through the streets of the
city to the ferry landing. This is the
season of the year when flocks are
taken to summer pasturage after being
sheared, and the sheepmen of Wasco
usually feed their herds in the vicinity
oi ml Adams in Washington,
reaching the pasture they cross
river at this point, and are driven
through Klickitat county a distance of
thirty or iorty mues.
