Moro Observer: It is estimated that 15.000 Indian ponies range over the hills of this country, and each pony eats enough good fodder to fatten a 4- year-old steer; and one steer is worth ten glass-eyed bronchos.

There was a good attendance at the opera house last night to listen to the vocal renditions of Mrs. Hinsdale, the piano accompaniments by Miss Minto and the elocutionary recitations of Miss Jessup. Those present were highly pleased with the entertainment, and there were repeated encores. Mrs. Hinsdale has a remarkable sweet voice, in excellent cultivation, and her songs were loudly applauded.

Miss Jessup has few equals, and her conception of charac ter, intonation of voice and use of ges ture were above criticism. - There .are few pianists who have the same grace of touch and thorough understanding of music as Miss Minto, and her play ing gave general .-satisfaction. ...The orchestral union, by their excellent renditions, added much to the pleasure of the evening.

Some few have taken their herds to Klickitat county and are feeding them on the foothills of Mt. Adams. The grass is not in as fair condition as it was last year, except in the mountain ranges, and. there is very poor pasturage in the lowlands.. Sheep camps are established in many places in the Cascade range, and as I soon as the dry. hot weather begins these are occupied by herders who keep their sheep well in hand in the vicinitv The greatest danger is from wild animals, and the attacks of these nave to be warded on conimuauy. Thev prowl around the herd at nignt, watching for an opportunity to carry off a stray lamb or feast upon a maimed ewe. Herders frequently have desper ate fights with cougars and bears, and only -conauor after an exhibition of pluck and perseverance. SIIEKLFF'S SALE. Property, Sold Under the Hammer, -Which Is Attached an Inter esting: History. This forenoon two sales were made of property on foreclosure of mortgage bvJ. C. Flanders, the mortgagor be- ins- Rev. O. D. Tavlor. The land sold comprised what was known as the Wil son farm and the Hill farm, the former containing 242 acres and the latter 815.15, and during the time of the Worth Dalles fraduient Doom constru ing the acreage oi xne otumoia. River Fruit Co. We have been informfid that the land is con sidered as security for several thousand dollars which the projector of North and Grand Dalles still owe the directors of the company, and it has been suggested that this fore- Closure and sale may quiet the title to the property and destroy the security of Mr. Taylor's creditors in the fruit company. The property was oia iu uy Mr. J. A. Johnson, oi tsunaio, wnu, some years ago, was induced to invest a large sum in North Dalles through the persuasive influence of the good sermons and button-hole conversations of the nresident of the interstate in vestment Co., and for which he has re ceived little or no consideration. There are also several other Buffalo creditors of the reverend gentleman and whose shekels have been invested in the rock piles and sand dunes of the barren waste on the norm siae oi m river. Mr. Johnson bid the property in for $12,736, and we believe he would have had a cheap bargain it ne naa paid $20,000 for the land. He js un doubtedly amply secured for whatever amount mav be due him, and it was very fortunate that he should have ap- T mi . . 11 J . .1. . r . peared at i ns uanes uuriug me mmo this sale was being made. These circumstances will bring our citizens in recollection of the time when the east was flooded with litera ture regarding the great city in Wash- in cton:- of the sale of corner lots when the shoe factory was built and the old shed farther up the river; of the poor, deluded people, having invested nearly all their money in this fraudulent scheme, coming out here to find the hiiRinesn nnint and the true citv of the Inland Empire on the Oregon side of the river, instead of the Washington, and returning penniless and dishearfr ened. The true mstory oi iorin Dalles, alias Grand Dalles, will furnish an interesting chapter in some iuture work, and it will eclipse in every ele ment of deception the "Eden" de scribed by Dickens in Martin Chuzzle- wit or the "Sea Dreams" oi xennyson, KOFC9. This Little Town Shows Many Evidences of Prosperity. The founder "of the town of Rufus, Mr. R. C. Wallace, spent the day in the city on business. He says since the flood of June. 1894, Grant has be come almost deserted, and the town of Rufus, two miles east, has given some signs of prosperity. A great many new buildings have been erected this season, and there are other evidences of enterprise and progress. Mr. Wallace has established a steam ferry on the Columbia, connecting the place with Washington, and there are good roads to Goldendale and other points in Klickitat county. To Was30 there is a good road, and a great deal of freighting is done to different points in Sherman county. The railroad company receives in freights on car load lots a large amount of money every month, and a large portion of the grain of Sherman is shipped from this point. Wheat arrives daily from last year's crop, and Mr. Wallace does not believe the farmers will be through hauling this grain before the coming harvest. There is no sand surround ing Rufus. and this is a great consid eration in hauling heavy loads. If the stages to Wasco and Goldendale were to make this a station the town would soon build up, and there is every pros pect of this being done in the future. Mr. Wallace is very hopeful of the town, and expects to see it the leading place in Sherman county in a little while. ANOTHER GORGEOCS CAB COMES. Second Billing Brigade of the Great Wal - lace Shows Does Its Work. - It is only a week since the Great Wallace Shows' No. 1 bill car was here and decorated this town in flaming colors from one end to the other. That seemed enough to herald meat any ag gregation, but a second one pulled . in fast night and gave more beauty to dull places. This car, like the first, is a work of art inside and outside, and certainly heralds a great show. A small circus could not support two of rvJsuch magnificence. ZZ I Thin Aftf 'in in P.ll This car 'is in charge of Mr. C. A. Potter, a genial gentleman, who has been in the show business for 35 years. He is known the length and breadth of the land as an advance agent. He spends his winters in the service of metropolitan dailies. He has served two terms in the legislature of his state. Mr. M. Fagin, the boss' bill poster,is an expert and is ably assisted by eighteen experts. This force makes a specialty of advertising the excur sions which all the lines of railroad coming into town will run on show day at greatly reduced rates. The sight of such a car as' this and the one which preceded it gives one confidence in the greatness of the show they herald. Cheap aggrega tions could not support so much splen dor, - - Che Grain Harvest. In some localities the harvest in this county has -begun, and will be general in a few days. The first part of the season it was thought crops would be light: but the weather has been very favorable during the past two weeks, and from all reports there will be an average yield. This -is encouraging, as the indications are that the market price will be higher than for some years. The last harvest was a phe nomenal one in this region; but the price was hardly sufficient to pay the cost of planting and cutting, and with an average crop this season and the price ranging from 50 to 60 cents, it will send more money in circulation than the abundance of grain did last year. AVPR'Q Sarsaparilla M.Hamtnerly.a well-known bnslness man of Hillsboro, Va., sends this testimony to the merits of Ayer's Sarsaparilla: "Several years 8ro, I hurt my leg, Uie Injury leaving a sore which led to erysipelas.

Wolf SLEEP Blur ,,)i)f - . v iiy CLEAR bt f LONG I I MENTALl I I I I I STRONG I ENERGY UUJNERVES WORK AT THE LOCKS. Bemovlug the Bulkhead and Other Work Preparatory to Opening the Canal. The work of removing the bulkhead is being pushed with the greatest activity, and the contractors have about 300 men at work on this part of the canal. After the dirt has been re moved, which was thrown there in 1880 to save the works there are twenty feet of solid rock that will have to be bla&d out before the walls above and below can be connectea. xnis duik head has been in position fifteen years, and from the soil that was placed there to protect the works from the flood of that year snruoDery auu u-eea nave grown to a considerable height. The walls above and below this bulkhead are comDleted. and two gates are in position one at the upper and another at the lower end oi tne caum. oa uuu as this is removed the walls will be connected by solid masonry, and the embankment rip-rapped. Then two more o-ates will be put in and boats can pass through without any obstruc tion. JI course tne worn wui uou oo finished; but it will be sufficiently so to answer the purposes of river traffic. It was calculated that it would take 75 dfiva' work to remove the bulKhead, and this will be accomplished some time in September. The walls will then be finished and the gates placed in position, and the canal and locks at the Cascades will be a reality. All this work can be done by Christmas, and there can be no doubt that by that date the Columbia,so far as The Dalles and vicinity are concerned, will flow unvexed to empty its wealth of waters into the lap of Mother Ocean. Arrested for Forgery. A man was arrested last night for passing forged checks on The Dalles National bank. He claimed when first taken in charge by the officer that he was a deputy snerin irom tne IjOcks and had a warrant of arrest from Justice Birnie's court for a man by the name of Edwards; but afterwards told dif ferent stories in reference to his iden- titv. and attempted to destroy some papers he had on his person by throw ing them in tne water cioset. xnis morning when interviewed by a re porter of the T.-M. he said his name was f. A. Mananey, and .was en route to his home in La Grande from Seattle where he had sold some beef cattle. He got on a spree and spent nearly all the money he had. In appearance he is a good looking man, looked as though he had worked at hard labor, and does not appear as though he had followed sharp practices any length oi time. Railroad Sold. A Vancouver dispatch, dated yester dav. savs: The sale oi the Vancouver, illicSitat & Yakima railroad was consumated to day, the purchase being in the name of C. N. Scott. By the terms of the sale, the purchasers paid about itsouuu cash. and assumed indebtedness amounting to about $34,000. This indebtedness is to be paid in 15-year bonds, drawing 6 per cent; the purchasers also oblige themselves to build at least three miles of extension of the road this year. The sale puts an end to the litigation in the courts. The road is estimated to be worth from $75,000 to $100,000. The proposed extension will tap a valuable timber belt, and the road already has a con tract to move 50.000,000 feet of logs. The Salmon Ran. The salmon season will end on the 10th of next month, and the run in this vicinitv has been the poorest ever remembered since the industry has been started. Usually there are enough to supply the local demand and some for export, but this year there has not been hardly enough to supply consumers at The Dallas. The stage of water has been unusually low. and this may account for the few fish found in the Columbia. In 1890 there was high water and last year it over reached all former limits, and these seasons were unprecedented in the run of salmon. Our fishermen must be patient and wait for another extra flood in the Columbia. A Sand Storm. The east bound passenger train due at Pendleton at 6:20 in the morning was delayed until 10:10 yesterday morn ing. A freight train had been stalled in a sand drift four miles east of this city, and had to be dug out with shovels. The wind and sand storm of Tuesday afternoon was terrific. Huge masses of sand were moved, and in many places, the contour of the coun try was completely altered. It is the first train delay for many months on account of blowing sand. The com pany has resorted to every means to preveut such occurrences, and now only the most severe storms can seri ously impede the passage of a passen ger train.

' Into the Next County. Assessor M. O. Clark has discovered that Grant county has heretofore been encroaching a little more than a mile into Gilliam county, by assessing and taxing 2300 acres of land belonging to the Gilman French Land & Live Stock Company, under the mistaken impres sion that the land was situated in Grant county. What will be done about the taxes c1: through a mist.iiu j'. county paid to arant county every year since the formation of Gil liam county, may be a nut for the law yeas to crack. A New I'jrtlon. Capt. H. C. Coe, of Viood River, was in the city yesterday. He has just re turned from a trip up the Columbia, looking after some strawberry land, and stopped at a poirt 2 miles below Umatilla, on the Was-iiington side, where he located 160 acres of govern ment land. The land lies along the Columbia river ,low enough to be over flowed by the exceeding high water of last year. It is good meadow land, but the captain will plant part of it to strawberries.

By request of several teachers have agreed to open a school of review for teachers at J)ufur on July 22, to continue until the August examina tion. Our experience in this kind of work is considerable, having conducted sev eral and assisted in conducting a num ber of others. For reference we refer to all those, some 30 in number, who attended a similar school that we con ducted in Thje Dalles, many of whom are teacuera in we uuuuuy uu we jji cb ent time. We also refer you to Hon, Troy Shelley, county school superin tendent of Wasco county. Among the advantages offered by the school will be an opportunity to review all the branches, the use oi teachers' library, lessons in a practice school from one to three hours daily, phonic drills and all the appliances of one of the best furnished school rooms in Wasco county. Another advantage will be its comparative cheapness. Board can be procured at from $2.50 to $3.50 per week. Tuition, $3 for the term or $1 per week. Those who expect to pass examina tion for teacher's certincate in August will hnd a school of the Kind contem plated in this notice of great value. Of course we do not recommend it as an absolute assurance; but it leads in the direction and gives opportunity for the only Known insurance, and that is effort. We invite all who can attend to be with us, promising to use every effort to make the school both profitable and pleasing. AABOn c razier. Letters Advertised.

To make a quartz location hereafter the prospector must sink a hole at least ten leet deep to solid iormation, and have at least one well defined vein and must stake his ground so that the stakes can be found. The notice of lo cation must be placed in a conspicuous place at the discovery shaft, where it can be seen not on some stump or tree in the neighborhood. He is allowed ninety days to do this work. If he lo cates an old prospect hole, he is re quired to sink l at least ten feet deeper than when he hrst found it, and stage and record his location the same as though it was an original discovery. if he runs a tunnel it must be at least ten feet so as to determine the fact that a vein supposed to carry the precious metals has been discovered. Black Bass. Dr. James A. Richardson, formerly of this city, but at present residing in Salem, has received from the east some black bass which he has turned loose in Mill creek near the capital city. Judge Hayden, of Polk county, has also received a number of these fish and placed them in a lake on his farm. These will largely multiply in numbers in a few years, when the streams in the Willamette will furnish good sport for anglers for this fish. These are described as very succulent for eating purposes and exceedingly gamy. Peach Plums. The Oregon Fruit Union removed its office yesterday from the Cosmopol itan hotel to the brick building occu pied by The Dalles Lumber Co., on the opposite side of the street. Its manager will be busy during the next two days gathering and preparing for shipment east a carload of peach plums from this vicinity. This will be the first - shipment of the season from Oregon, and will reach the market in fine condition, establishing the well earned reputation of Dalles fruit in the east. ' A. O. V. W. Election.
