At the stockyards of R. E. Salt-

The man who tied the coal oil can to
the steer, which frightened the team
of horses Mr. Snodgrass was driving,
. and resulting in severe injuries to him,
is known to his neighbors in the vicin
ity of Dufur. This is cruel mischief,and
there is some talk of making an ex-
' ample of the man.
A beautiful sight, witnessed by many
last night, was caused by a brilliant
star -maintaining its position for a long
while just on the edge of the disk of the

phenomenon was greatly admired, and
some superstitious people considered
it portentious of good times in the
future."
Mr. Richard Pa mer, who has a farm

seems to be more successful than any

required no effort to catch fish, and he
throws his hook into the stream and

Ia the Question OaUy Asked About thi
.. New Piano House.
- The adTent of suoh a tremendous
etock of pianos and organs as the trim-
ball company are shipping to this city
causes mucn curiosity and speculation.
I have many questions, direct and
indirect, like the following, to which
I answer:
Is this piano house to be permanent?
utD present.
uouid not The Dalles maintain a
piano house of such proportions as
this?
Not in these times, neither could any
other city double the size-
You people have a mighty lot of
nerve to ship such a lot of nianos in
here.
Not much; hundreds of families
would like fine pianos if they cguld buy
Don t think you can sell all these
pianos in a year.
I think you are badly mistaken.
They will about all be sold this week.
GeewhizI
No geewhiz about it. The people
want them: they are able to buy them;
they are being sold at manufacturers'
wholesale prices with freight added,
and tbe people are going to improve
the opportunity.
I have made sales like this in a num
ber of towns on the coast, and have
sold from one to three carloads in a
week to two weeks time.
The people saw that it was the op
portunity of a lifetime, and took them
quickly and will do the same here.
It would be impossible to maintain a
store permanently and retail at these
prices. The expenses would more
than eat up the profits.
Just as soon as the times will justify
it a permanent store will be establish
ed at The Dalles, but instruments will
be sold at regular retail prices, as the
prices now being offered apply on
these instruments only, and we will
not guarantee to duplicate them a day
atter tnis sale is over. Old (Jhronicie

Paris
Is tbe Great Syndicate Shows and
Hippodrome.
The Butte, Montana, correspondent
of the Anaconda Standard, says the
following of the New Great Syndicate
Shows which are advertised to exhibit
here on Saturday, July 6:
"Talk about your circuses, the one
given by the Great syndicate and
Paris Hippodrome has certainly
broken the record so far as Butte is
concerned. Such a jam as was at
tracted to the circus grounds on the
afternoon of the 4th was never
seen here before, and doubtless was
never seen in any city of its size. If
Butte can claim to be a good judge of
any particular thing, it can certainly
claim to be a good judge of a circus,
and the judgment of the people who
went to the circus was that it was a
show that to miss was to miss ' an
event, and that it was a mighty good
show to see twice. 1
"So great was the crowd in the after
noon that two performances had to be
given instead of one. The circus-tent
was filled plumb to the apex at the
first performance. Not only was every
seat occupied, but standing room was
all taken, and boys climbed up on the
tent poles because there was no place
else to get.
"The management had everything
so well arranged, however, that the
show proceeded to the delight of all,
without any hitch or inconvenience,
except what was necessarily caused by
the terrific thunder-storm, when the
rain came down in torrents. The
management had been forced to stop
selling tickets for the first perform
ance, but another was given at 4
o'clock, when the big tent was again
filled.
"There was another crowded house
at the evening performance, and, as
there was no rain to interrupt, com
plete satisfaction was given.
"Tbe combination of performers and
artists in the Great Syndicate Show
and fans Hippodrome is one that is
hard to surpass in any circus'."

The Liouisville (Jouner-JOurnai.aerirY
Watterson's paper, thus speaks of this
famous show.
"This excellent circus and menagerie
was well patronized yesteraay after
noon and evening, and it well deserved
the enormous crowd, wnicn nocKea to
the capacious tents. The menagerie
shows up all that has been advertised,
and the ring performances were ex
cellent, comprising many very difficult
attractive acts never oeiore presented
here. The riding was good. The
clowns introduced many new comicali
ties, and the feats of acrobats, jugglers
and contortionists were marvelous,
and astonished and delighted all. We
found all connected with the show
perfect gentlemen, .who desired to
treat evervone well and see that no
one was imposed upon."
As this is tbe only large snow tnac
will visit this section this season
predict a large crowd.
Contesting Teams.
The following are the names of the
contestants in the hose tournament on

Grasshoppers.
Mr. Geo. H. Riddell, who has a farm ,

was attacked dv grasshoppers a lew
days ago, and now they are thronging
arouna nis piace in countless millions.
Last Sunday he spent killing the
pests, and he thinks he lessened the
number oy several minion; but the
next morning they did not appear
diminished in the least. Aside from
gram neids tney are attacking or-1
chards, and stripping trees of every
particle oi ion age. it is almost im
possible to fence against them, for
tney can nop or ny over almost any
obstruction. ji"icKets, Mr. ttiddell
says, may be fed to hogs; but pigs will
not molest grasshoppers. Some plan
may bo iouna out oy which protection
may be bad against their devastations:
but thus lar larmers are powerless.

Believed to Be a Fake.
The story published in the Idaho
Statesman of the detective who was
bound in a boat and set adrift in
Snake river, finally landing at the
Huntington bridge, is believed by the
Huntington Herald to be a fake. That
paper says: "The report is regarded
by the officers here as a very defective
detective story." Eldredge was here,
all right, on Friday and exhibited a
few pieces of baling wire, which, he
claimed, were used by assailants in
binding his hands and feet before they
cist him adrift in a boat on the wild,
wooly Snake. His story was, and is,
disbelieved by the officers, and his
whole appearance indicated that he
was hard bent upon working up a
small-sized sensation. It is our opin
ion that Mr. Eldredge will bear, watch
ing in his connection with the Ronan
murder."
A Sharper Arrested.
A dispatch from Goldendale. Wash-
dated June 26, contains the following:
"Sheriff Stimson arrived in Golden
dale today with J. A. Brown in his
custody. Brown, an ex-buyer and
shipper of sheep, has victimized citi
zens oi ruickitat out of over itjuoo by
the use of fraudulent checks upon the
Commercial National bank of Port
land. Daniel O'Connor, Klickitat's
present 'sheep king,' from whom
Brown purchased 630 head of fine mut
ton sheep, followed the fugitive to Se
attle. One of Brown's victim was an
aged widow lady, who was victimized
out of over $150. Brown, it seems.
had borne hitherto a good reputation
among the stock growers. Frequently
his checks have been honored for large
amounts,"
MIXING INTERESTS.
Encouraging Prospects For the Mines of
Grant County..
In conversation with Mr.J. J. Co
zart a reporter of the TiMES-MotrNT-AINEEB
gleaned many interesting
facts regarding the mining interests of
Grant county. Placer mines are being
worked principally by Chinamen; but
there have been some rich discoveries
made in quartz during the paat year.
Mr. Cozart speaks of a ledge that has
been bonded for $80,000 that is 350
yards wide, and extends a distance of
about twenty miles. Assays have been
made of the rock, and it yielded from
&i to $12 a ton. He believes when this
ledge is developed it will be the great
est help that Eastern Oregon has re
ceived for a long time. The prospects
of Urant county this year are very en
couraging in regard to mines; but
crops will be very light this season
Farmers depend upon the local market,
and wheat brings a much better price
than at points on the railroad, last
year they received 75 cents and 80
cents a bushel, and this season they
expect to realize i. nut tne demand
is not very extensive, and grain is
principally ground into flour or fed to
cattle. The principal resource of
Grant county is mineral, and Mr, Co
zart thinks the outlook better in this
regard than for any previous one since
1863, the date of discovery. Of course
the mineral wealth of the interior will
benefit every portion of the Inland
Empire, and the development of quartz
mines this year will stimulate business
in all departments.
GRASSHOPPERS.
Land Grabbers.
The Moro Observer makes the follow
ing comments on this very undesirable'
class of people:
A gang of -that most despicable
class on the earth known as land grab
bers, have recently attempted to jump
tbe sand islands formed at the mouth
of the Columbia by the jetty. The
Question of acknowledging the claim
of these jumpers to the islands was
considered at the last meeting of the
state board, and the matter referred to
the attorney-general, if they will
take the trouble to hunt records they
will find that in early days there was a
farm at that point upon which Father
Schwatka reared his noted family.
Later on it became the property of
George Summers: then it washed
away. C. S. Wright, as administrator
of the Summers estate, could probably
nnd the deeds showing possible own
ership by metes and bounds. The
'land' has simply returned from a
cruise in the deep sea."
For Criminal Libel.
The Baker City Democrat has the
following:
"In the Sunday Mercury published
in Portland a couple of weeks since
appeared a batch of 'Baker City Brief
lets,' one of which reflected seriously
and damagingly upon Mr. G. P. Rey
nolds, general manager of the Hotel
Warshauer. Mr. Reynolds has taken
steps to prosecute the publishers of
that paper on a charge of criminal
libel, and he has engaged as counsel
Mr. John L. Rand, district attorney,
and Mr. John M. Gear in, one of the
best lawyers of the metropolis. It is
Mr. Reynolds' intention to leave no
stone unturned in the effort to bring
tbe publishers of the Mercury to an
aocount, and in doing so the identity
of the contemptible correspondent in
Baker City will be brought to light.
Mr. Reynolds' action is commendable
and should meet with the hearty en
dorsement of all decent people."
Grasping Greed.
The G. A. R. post of Roseburg offered
the S. P. Co. $300 for one passenger
coach to Oregon City and return, but
the management of the road demanded
$396. The post refused to pay that
amount, says the Review, and after
wards the company sent a representa
tive to try to get them to accept the
car at their own terms, but the mem
bers were so disgusted with the com
pany's grasping game that thev re
fused to take it at all. The result was
that only three persons went to Oregon
City from Roseburg, and the railroad
is loser by tbe transaction. The
same railroad managers refused to
grant reduced rates for the pioneers
reunion.

The
Increase of Receipts.
The net increase of receipts at the
postoffices throughout the country
during the year ending March 31, 1895,
was $1,749,953. This is shown in the
aunual readjustment of presidential
postmasters' salaries made public on
the 19th. The changes take effect
July 1. The total number of presi
dential offices is 3466. The salaries of
1057 are increased and 303 decreased.
The gross increase in the receipts was
$1,894,092, and the gross decrease $154,
139. Eight states report a decrease,
and practically all of these are in the
west.

Notice to Water Consumers.
The Water Commissioners have
ordered that the rules concerning the
use of water for irrigation be printep
and posted upon the gates of consum
ers so that all may understand what
the rules are. This has been done as
ordered. The great waste of water
heretofore and the limited supply,
make the enforcement of thes rules
absolutely necessary. All consumers
will please take notice of these regu
lations and in case of a violation of
the rules the water will be at once
shut off and a charge of $1.00 will be
made before again making the con
nection. I. J. Norman,
Superintendent.

These Pests and Destroyers of Vegetation
Slaking; Their Appearance.
For some years past grasshoppers
have made their appearauce on the
Warm Spring reservation, and have
destroyed the crops of the Indian farm
ers. The reservation is in Crook
county, and Wasco was not alarmed
while grasshoppers kept that distance
away; but this season has witnessed a
change in this regard, and these pests
nave crossed tne line ana are now
making inroads on our farming lands.
A week ago they had attacked the
growing grain on upper Trout creek,
and after a few hours the field was as
level as a floor. This is over seventy
miles distant, and our people hoped
that they would not make much further
progress until after harvest; but the
scourge is upon us, and we must bear
it patiently. For the last few years
something has Happened to ren
der farming unprofitable. Two years
ago late rains caused grain to grow in
the stacks and rendered it unfit for
market. Last year the price was
bo low that harvests did not pay
the expenses of tbe crops. This year
the price will be fair; but ' the season
has been quite dry, and the grasshop
per plague will destroy many fields.
Those who have witnessed their opera
tions say their work is very effectually
and quickly done. In the morning the
grain will appear on good condition,
and by night every blade will be eaten
and the held be as level as a floor.
Their migration is very rapid, and at
last accounts they had come as far as
Tygh ridge. Before harvest their
depredations will be widespread, and
thousands of acres will be devastated.
. Japanese Competition. -
The Manufacturer, a paper devoted
to American industries, says:
When Japan shall make (and she is
now beginning to make) alt kinds of
woolen carpets such as Philadelphia
produces, with labor that costs but 20
cents a day, and to make them well,
what will become of our domestic car
pet manufacture? What will become
of our working people? Indian cheap
labor has already nearly destroyed jute
manufacture in Scotland. Is Japan to
produce a similar result for our carpet
making industry? Japan will manu
facture, not for domestic consumption
only, but for export. Soon we shall
have Japanese carpets, cotton, watches,
and even machinery constructed by
workmen who earn not a tenth of
American wages, pressing into the
port of San Francisco. If even a high
Competitive Drill.
There is some talk in this city of the
4th of July committee offering a prize
or purse for the best drilled member
or company of the O, N. G. at the cel
ebration next Thursday in this city.
G. Co. has tha material to compete
with any company in the state, after
it has been drilled; but the members
are actively employed in vocations
that require ten hours labor each day,
and they have not the time to perfect
themselves in discipline. A (Jo. at
Wasco is well drilled; but the members
are generally business men who have
sufficient leisure to devote their at
tention to a thorough knowledge of
military tactics. Our young men have
the ambition and muscular endurance
to learn all military maneuvres.
and if the committee will put on the
programme a competitive drill ' The
Dalles need not be ashamed of the
result. . . .
More Misplaced Confidence.
The La Grande Chronicle says:
"Three carloads of potatoes were
shipped from Yakima City to Minneap
olis some months ago on the promise
of the receiving commission dealers
that an advance of 25 cents per bushel
would be made to the growers. This
advance was never made, but when
the statement was received of the
sales one carload netted tbe grower
$4.80, another carload $1.83, while the
carload shipped by Peter Gervais
brought him in debt $100.83. An ef
fort is to be made to secure redress
from the commission men, and Mr.
3nively, who is on the case, thinks it
is tbe same gang that has been operat
ing in Kittitas county, to the heavy
loss of farmers there. It is also re?
ported that Mr. Purdy Flint shipped
thirteen carloads to Minneapolis some
months ago and has been unable to get
any accounting whatever,"

A Horrible Death.
Fred Little, about 30 years of age,
living about seventeen miles from Mc-
Minnville met a terrible death yester
day. It appears that Little was en
gaged in tiling a saw at his mill, when,
without warning, the mashinery was
set in motion, and by tbe time that it
was stopped Little was literally sawed
to pieces.

Or La Grippe, thoush occasionally epi

The best remedy for this complaint
is Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
"Last Spring, I was taken down-with

trated, and so difficult was my breathing
that my breast seemed as if confined In an
Iron cage. I procured a bottle of Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral, and no sooner had I ltepin
taking it than relief followed. I could not be
lieve that the effect would be so rapid and the
cure so complete. It is truly a wonderful med
icine." W. H. Whxiams, Crook City, 8. D.

THOROUGH INVESTIGATION
REQUESTED.
A BOLD ASSERTION.
Ever since Prof. Koch startled the world
by promising to enre consumption with the
Koch lymph and his complete failure to do
so, the people have been looking for some
discovery which would prove an absolute,
certain cure for that dread disease. Over a
quarter of a century ago Dr. R, r pierce",
chief consulting physician ti tfie Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institrte. i ':i a claim
for a medicine, which lie Lid ;"3Covered
and used, in his extensive prac-.ice, that
wouldtr,rninety-eight percent, of all cases
of consumption when taken in all its early
stages. Time has nroved that his assertion
was based on facts gained from experience.
His "Golden Medical Discovery " has cured
many thousand people in all parts of the
world, and Dr. Pierce invites all interested
to send to him for a free book which gives
the names, addresses and photographs of
many prominent people who have willingly
testified to the marvelous curative proper
ties of his "Golden Medical Discovery."
He has also written a Book of 160 pages on
' ' Diseases.of the Respiratory Oreans. ' ' which
treats of all Throaty Bronohial and Lung
diseases, also Asthma and Catarrh, that will
be mailed by the World's Dispensary Med
