lacoma Merchants Say Exporters
Bearing the Market.
The fact that little gram Is now
moving, tnougn tne wneai season is
fairly open, has led to an investigation
being made to determine the reason,
says the Tacoma Ledger. From the
evidence gathered it would seem that
considerable of the blame attaches to
the local exporters who are bearing
the market for the reason that they
purchased a number of charters at high
rates when charters were high some
weeks ago. and are now seeking to
save themselves from loss, or rather to
make the usual profit by paying only
low prices until their charters are out
of the wav. The same condition of
affairs exists at Portland.
At San Francisco, however, charters
have dropped greatly. Where Tacoma
and Portland exporters purchased
charters at 35 and 37 shillings, San
Francisco exporters are now getting
them for 24 and 25 shillings. This, it
is estimated by grain men, givees ban
Francisco the advantage in the pur
chase of grain. One grain man said
to a Ledger reportar yesterday that
Washington farmers can ship to San
Francisco now and obtain, after de
ducting freight charges, 5 cents more
a bushel tnere lor tneir wneai man at
Tacoma and Portland. San Francisco
Quotations are 55 cents a bushel and
Tacoma and Portland quotations are
43? and 44 cents. "In other words,"
said the gentleman speaking, "Tacoma
and Portland exporters are endeavor
ing to make the farmers sustain the
loss tber should bear tnemseives, a loss
resulting from their own bad judgment
in making charters when the market
was at the highest. They are offering
these low prices thinking the farmers
will take them but in this the exporters
to my mind, are using poor judgment.
The result of their arbitary action will
simply be to force grain that would
otherwise be shipped to Tacoma and
Portland, - to San Francisco. Such
action as theirs does more than any
thing else to injure the port. To my
mind it cannot be too severely cen
sured. Where the Tacoma and Port
land exporters are offering 32i and 34
cents a bushel they could and should
pay 50 cents."
As a result or tne low prices prevail
ing farmers all over the state are hold
ing their grain for a higher market.
The disposition generally is to hold.
It is reported that nearly all the
grain- in warehouses in Eastern
Washington la to De neid ano
that monev at the rate of 20 cents a
bushel is being borrowed on it. If sales
are made at prevailing prices the
merchants will make nothing, hence
they, with the banks, are assisting the
farmers to hold.
ONE ON THE HORSE.
Civilization Down the Lordly Cayuse on
His Native Heath.
Thecayuse Is rapidly passing over
the great divide, and soon the last of
his race will face the inevitable and
expire to satisfy the cravings of the
human stomach. It is, perhaps, ac
cording to the eternal fitness of things
that here in Eastern Oregon, where
the first horse, the eo-hippus, nipped
the cenozoic herbage from the nole in
the ground out of which our rolling
prairies have grown, the beginning of
his destruction should occur. ruiy tne
cayuse is of royal descent, if length of
pedigree can be taken as a measure of
nobility, for the first horse, though no
larger than a sheep witn tne tarirt on
him. was cotemporary with the earli'
est vertebrates, and has seen the great
animals of the earth pass away, lie
has survived them all, because he was
of all the innumerable types of animal
life, the fittest. The plesiosaurus
chewed grass for breakfast with him,
but the Dleeiosaurus vanished centu
ries ago! The megatherium red on tne
top branches of the trees, a beast so
large that the horse seemed to him but
a microbe! The pterodactyl became
an lam bic, sned nis pter and winnea
out! The sabre-toothed tiger wltn a
head as large as a water bucket and a
paw like a boxing glove devoured his
species, but the norse survived mm:
Granivora, carnivora, omnivora all
vanished long ago from the earth leav
ing but their bones to show their
types types that printed their story
on the pages of the great geological
book or JNature. out tne cayuse
stayed, because he was always a stayer.
It was a long time ago, my friend,
when the little horse rehearsed for his
first; bucking match! It wis a long
time ago that his- little bones were
turned to stone down on the fly leaf of
the geological book! It is a long ways
down into the eocene formation to
where his petrified bones bear silent
but convincing evidence of his antiq
uity! Down to where the clay beds
that covered his bones eons ago turned
to stone! Down 1800 feet below where
his descendants now crop the bunch-
grass from the undulating plains! Yes,
indeed! It was a long time ago! Year
by year, century by century, the dust,
the sediment, the detritus from the
hills accumulated over those petrified
bones until they were buried nearly
half a mile deep. Nor was that all;
after they were buried the John Day
river, year by year and with infinite
slowness, cut out a channel down
through the rocks until after, no one
knows how many centuries of centn
ries the little bones are again brought
to light. The cayuse grew up with the
country, 1800 feet of it, and is at least
that much above his ancestors. But
bis day is done. Nature could not
down him, but civilization will. He
stood the saddle and the harness, but
the slaughter-house, the tin can and
the hippophagous anthropoid called
man have measured and marked the
circle of his existence. The rubber
footed bike and the electric current
have destroyed his usefulness, the ru
minating animals require the grass and
he must give way to the new condi
tions. Behold the end of him!
Knocked in the head, a hawser is fast
ened to his hide which is stripped ruth
lessly from him, the hawser being used
because it requires something horser
than the horse to peel him. The .car
cass is hung up by the heels and the
insides and buck removed. But let us
trace his career no further, for we are
not disposed to eat him. Whence he
came we know, but for the sake of our
stomachs let us not inquire into the
whither into which he disappears.
and rejoice with them in the develop-
ment of the countys' resources. They
are making a wonderful showing, one
of which they are justly proud, and
one which will gladden the heart of
every good" citizen.' Make them
visit and see for yourselves.

A Traveling Man Becomes Infatuated
a Dusky Maiden.
The well known story of Pocahontas
is brought to the mind by he escapa

man of Portland. Not long since
Shepard met a young Indian woman
at Pendleton and fell violently in love
with her. As he had a wife and two
sons in Portland this was a Bad state
of affairs. However, he eloped with
the dusky maiden and went to Union.
There his wife found him out and he
is now in sacicciotn and asnes as ne
had been hiding his light under a
bushel. Since then there has been
consternation In the Shepard family
and the old man don't dare show him

of age and ought to know better, but

DISCOVERED A I.OST ART.
An Iowa Man Has Discovered a Secret of
the Ancients.
S. R. Dawson, of Des Moines, la..
the discoverer of the lost art of hard-
'ening copper and making "Damascus"
steel, brought to the Chicago Inter
Ocean office some samples of cutlery
made from the new metal, as they
might be termed. A large dagger
made from the hardened copper would
have delighted the soul of a Spanish
senorita or an Italian' brigand. It
looked like highly polished gold, and
had an edge keener and smoother than
a steel razor, as was demonstrated by
photographs of microscopical tests.
Metallurgists say that the discoveries
of Mr. Dawson entitle him to rank
with the greatest inventors of the
world
In speaking of his discovery, Mr.
Dawson said: "Analysis of prehistoric
bronze shotrs only the elements of
copper and tin, but when they are
compounded in the proportions indi
cated, an entirely different metal is
produced. It is so with my hardened
copper. Chemists can find it in only
copper and tin. The truth is that it
contains two other elements. What
are they? That Is my secret. From
this hardened copper can be made any
kind of cutlery, from the finest surgi
cal instruments to a jack-knife. No
deleterious oxide forms on it when
subjected to any tests. It is about the
hardness of ordinary tool bareteel not
tempered. It hardens under pressure,
and any steel drill made will break if
forced against it. In the mechanical
arts it fills a place where all other
metals are found wanting."
One of our county officials Wednesday
received a letter or which, with
the exception that the names are
not given, the following is a copy:
"Dear Sir: To what limit can
justice of the peace run costs, and the
county be compelled to pay them? The
case in view came up here this morn
ing and is as follows: The justice of
the peace and his son committed an
assault on a lady, a by-ntander inter
feared, whereupon they turned on him
and had a few hasty words. The
justice in the dignity of his might, ap
peared before himseir and swore out a
complaint, had the man arrested, sat
in the case as judge, took the stand as
witness, put questions to himself as
prosecution attorney, objected to the
same as attorney for defendant, decided
tn emas nudge, answered tnem accord'
ing co bis own dictates, and sent
defendant to the county jail. Now
what I want to know, is: Does he get
costs as justice of the peace? Does he
get costs as witness? Does he get
paid as attorney for the stater And
does he get costs as attorney for defend
ant? He certainly is entitled to the
latter as he appointed himself as such
attorney and argued the defendants'
side of the case and besides had his
sons on as witnesses, and clerks of the
court. Where do we tax-payers get
off?"
A Social Function.
From the extraordinary hilarity go
ing on around the waste wagon at the
cannery this morning we judge that
the leading society ladies or the tribe
of Wasco have made a function (what
ever that is) out of their salmon gath
ering, somewnat after tne style or tne
old-fashioned "quilting." Mrs. Min
nehaha Wathposset seemed to be the
leader of the hilarity diving into
the offal up to her elbows and
nailing the choicest morsels with
a grace and celerity that defies compe
tition and compels the admiration of
her charming sisters. MUs Birdie
Multnomah Wapatoadds beauty to the
sceno, and is the life of the party.
The manner in which she hangs a wad
of salmon eggs on the underbrush is
the envy of all her associates. She
wore a dress of some dark material
decollete at the bottom, and orna
mented with a rich garniture of sal
mon eggs and refuse, llei graceful
ankles, bare and brown, would make a
Trilby ashamed of herself. The bal
ance of the party are scarcely "worth
mentioning after these two shining
lights, but did we know their names
we would surely give them.
A Pleasant Social.
As Others Bee Cs.
The state convention of the Prohibi
tion party of Massachusetts, was held
at Boston on the 18th, with more than
300 delegates present. The appended
remarks on that occasion show in just
what light the Democratic and Repub
lican parties are viewed in by the
Prohibitionists of Massachusetts:
John G. Wpolley, ex-district-attorney
of Minneapolis, was the princi
pal SDeaker. He gave as one reason
why he was a Prohibitionist his belief
that the Democratic party was incapa
ble of administering the government,
and because it was, "by the declara
tions of its national platform, self-appointed
defender in" ordinary of the
national saloon."
"I believe," he continued, "the
Republican party to be the brainiest
thing in modern politics, best trained
to govern, and in its rank and file,
sentimentally, an enemy of the saloon,
but swamped, past remedy, in bossism.
Its 'bloody shirt' idiocy in Ohio, its
progressive degeneracy-in Pennsyl
vania, its moral insolvency in Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont and Rhode
Island, its moral paresis in New York,
its inexpressible infamy in Iowa, its
concentric conspiracies of cohsclence
orucifying candidature throughout the
land mark the legal rulers of 'the six
ties' the flabby and impudent decadents
of the century's end you have it at
its best in this state. The Republican
party of Massachusetts in its relation
to the national concerns is an island of
hopeful ill-health in an ocean of pus.
'A man ought to be true to his
party. That is why we are here, and
we haye come to stay. Break ns, will
you, ye dirty politicians? Well, break,
and be damned In the hell of honest
history. The breaking boughs, the
falling trunks, the snapping roots will
testify the truth even in death, and
church and country in the generations
that are coming on shall speak in
honor of the 'whip' of God's unorgan
ized Democracy, the Prohibition
party,"
Let's Qet Acquainted.
We suggested yesterday that an ex
cursion be given to the Hood River
fair the 4th of next month. Instead of
that the Regulator will make a special
round trip rate of 50 cents, on bo'h
days of the fair, October 4th and 5th.
We urge upon our citizens the impor
tance of visiting this fair, not only
onr fruit-growers but our business
men should attend it. Heretofore
there has been a lack of sociability
between the two sections of the county,
and this should not be allowed to con
tinue. We know the people of both
sections and we know they would like
each other better, were they better ac
quainted. It is for The Dalles to take
the initiative and the occasion of
the fair furnishes a good opportunity
to begin a new deal. Hood River is
the lovllest spot in the state, is settl
ing up rapidly with a splendid class of
people that we all ought to know bet
ter. Nature has separated that portion
of the county from this, but our inter
ests, our business relations and our
welfare as a united community are the
same. Let the Regulator on Friday
of next week carry down such a dele
gation as will show our Hood River
neighbors that we appreciate them, ,

Our District Fair.
We cannot impress upon our readers
too strongly the necessity of making
onr coming fair a success. It is so
easy to do this, and the benefits are so
great that it will be only those who
have no interest in the development of
our resources wno win not do some
thing towards making the fair what It
should be. Wasco county is easily the
banner fruit country of the state in
quality, quantity and variety of its
orchard products. This position she
should maintain. The local fair ad
vertises the country, and from the .ex
hibits a selection oan be made that at
the Portland exposition will excite
comment and attract settlers. That is
the result we &r& working for. We
need a population ofat least 50,000 be
fore our natural resources will begin
to be utilized. Hood River valley can
and will maintain a larger population
than the county now boasts, and tho
county can easily support ten times op
twenty times its present population.
Let us get rid of mossbackism and get
a move on. This is the time, and the
fair presents a good oppDrtunity to
make a start. Try it.

. To Prevent Potato Scab.
. The result of a series of trials of the
corrosive sublimate treatment for po
tato scab at the Indiana Station are as
follows: Potato scab is caused by the
attack of a minute vegetable parasite.
It chiefly attacks the orop through in
fected seed material. The seed mate
rial may be disinfected by immersion
in a bath of corrosive sublimate. The
corrosive sublimate solution should be
of the strength of two ounces to fifteen
gallons of water. The bath should be
about an hour andahalf long, although
some variation in time is immaterial.
Cutting and planting is done ae usual.
The result of 'he treatment is a crop
essentially free from blemish and of
great market value. Sometimes a
considerable increase in yield results
from the treatment. The method is
easily and cheaply applied and Is wor
thy of extended trial.
Not the Robbers.
Constable Trana arrested a man at
the Cascade Looks yesterday and took
him to Hood River. When arrested
he was trying to sella lot of new boots,
but on examination it- was disclosed
that the baots lost by Mr, Blowers
were made in Milwaukee, and those
the man was trying to sell were made
by a Portland firm. Mr. Blowers has
recovered all the stolen property ex
cept one piece of flannel. Two men
were arrested here this morning on
suspicion of being parties to the rob
bery, they having a lot of razors they
were trying to sell, but as Mr. Blowers
bad all of his razors, they were evi
dently guiltless of that offense. How
ever it looks a little as though a suc
cessful raid had been made some place
with boots being peddled in the Locks
and cutlery here.
Burglary at Hood River.
Hood River furnishes a news item
today, it being the burglarizing of A.
S. Blowers store. Some time last
night the store was broken into and
the thieves helped themselves to what
ever they liked best. Quite a quantity
of boots and shoes were taken along
with clothing, cuttlery and groceries.
Constable Olinger at once organized a
posse and began a search for the
thieved. A large portion of the stolen
goods were found hidden near the
railroad track in Idlewilde about a
mile west of Hood River, and as cer
tain parties are suspected it is quite
probable that ere this some arrests
have been made. .-
Our Free Country.
At the urgent request of the lady
whose name is apoended to the follow
ing article, we print the same. It will
be seen that some folks are hard to
please since in this' case there seems
to be a vain regret that there is but
one place to go to escape tobacco
smokers. We have placed the title of
the article over this one, but with the
heading it reads as follows:
Our free country is only free to
those who don't trespass on the rights
of others, which is being done con
tinually by tobacco smokers. I have
been told by many of them, if you
don't like it keep away Irom it. J. ask.
where can I go to avoid inhaling it?
Not in stores, post-offices, or even in
stroets. There is but one place, that
is Heaven. 1 do hope and pray that
those personal liberty people will per
ceive their sinfulness and cease from
Injuring themselves and all who are
unfortunate enough to have to be near
them. May God help them to be tree,
instead of slaves to poison tobacco, in
any form, or any other bad habit.

SflALLER THAN USUAC
lilliputian, in fact,
are Doctor Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets.
Dr. R. V. Pierce,
Chief Consulting
Physician to the In
valids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y.,
was the first to In
troduce a Little Pill
to the American
people. For all
laxative and ca
thartic purposes
these suear-coated
" Pellets" are superior la a great many
ways to all mineral waters, sedlitz powders,
and other purgative compounds. Made oi
concentrated -vegetable ingredients, they
act in a mild, natural way. Their second
ary effect is to keep the liver active and the
bowels regular, not to further constipate,
as is the case with other pills. They don't
interfere in the least with the diet, habits
or occupation, and produce no pain,' grip
ing or suocc lo uie system.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant PelieU cure bil
iousness, sick and bilious headache, dir
tiness, costiveness, or constipation, sour
stomacn, loss oi appetite, coated tongue,
Indigestion, or dyspepsia, windy belch
ing 9, "heart-burn," pain and distress after
eating, ana Kindred derangements of tue
liver, stomach and bowels. These ' Pel.
lets " are easily dissolved In the stomach
and absorbed into the blood, stimulating a
flow of bile from the liver, and arousing to
activity all the glandular secretions. Thus
they act in nature's own way. In proof
of their superior excellence, it can be truth
fully said, that they are always adopted
as a nousenoia remedy alter tne nrst trial.
Put up in glass vials, therefore always fresh
and reliable.
One little " Pellet " Is a laxative, two are
mildly cathartic. As a "dinner pill." to
promote digestion, take one each day after
amner. 10 relieve aistress rrom over
eating, they are nnequaled.
They are tiny, sugar-coated granules;
any child will readily take them. One
used, always tn favor.
Aecept no substitute that may be recom
tended to be "just as good." It may b
tetter for the dealer, because of paying
him a better profit, but he is not the one
who needs help,
Many Prefer a Dirty Note to a New On,
Especially In the Went.
The raid that was made on the
treasury department for new notes
and coins by the visitors, in Wash
ington during the Grand Army en
campment and the 1,000,000 and
more old tora bills which they left
behind indicates what a rarity a
crisp, new note is in the west. In
Washington people have got to be
quite fastidious about their money.
mat wnicn is fre9h and clean is
right at their hand, and when a note
begins to get a little soiled they dc
not care to handle it. Notes such as
are regarded as in good condition in
Chicago and other western cities
would not circulate for a day in
Washington. Pocktbooks are sel
dom used there except for small
change, the correct thing being for
those who have money to carry the
new bills in an envelope without
folding them, so as to preserve their
newness.
A Washington man going west can
mark the stages of his progress by
the changing condition of tho money.
In the cities of tho far we3t it is bad
enough, but in the country places
and among the farmers generally
after passing the Ohio a new note of
email denomination is a thing almost
unknown. Even in Minneapolis men
from Washington who carried crisn
$ 1 notes in the "original packages,"
just as they came from the treasury,
found occasionally places where thev
could not pass the money because it
loonea "too new to be good." A
good many of the street car conduc
tors refused to take the new notp.
but a dirty bill, all patched and al
most tree rrom design, was taken
without question as the proper thing.
It is said at the treasury department
that comparatively little monev
comes in from the west for redemr-
uon.
ureat quantities of these notes
don t como back for redemption, and
in tne nnai run of years the erovem
ment is much the gainer bv it. The
trouble is that, while the treasurv is
always ready to destroy the old notes
ana give new ones m their rAswe
j.i ...
mere is no provision lor transporra
tion of the notes, and the amount of
express charges from a distance nre
mu uueir ucmg seut in lor redemp
tion. In 1882 congress made an ap
propriation for the payment of such
express charges, and for once the en
tire country got a new set of ereen
backs. Since then there has been no
appropriation for that purpose, and
the national currency is sadly in need
of repairs. Cor. Philadelphia Tele
graph.
The Pracky Spaniel.
Captain Williamson was shooting
in incua, witn a . spaniel, which ap
parently found some game which his
master guessed to be a haro. "The
dog came to a stand over a bank,
wagging its tail, with ears up and
his whole frame in a Btate of ecstasy,
I expected that he had got a hare
under the bank, and as the situation
was in favor of getting a shot I ran
toward him with more speed than I
should have done had I known that
I should find a tiger sitting up and
staring Paris in the face. They were
not three yards asunder. As soon as
the dog found me at his side he bark
ed, and giving a spring dashed at the
tiger."
TXJ T ., .....
xxis owner aamiis mat ins own
alarm was so extreme that he did not
observe the further demeanor of
either till he saw the tiger cantering
away, ronowea oy the little dog bark
ing. It is of course just possible that
the tiger was "nervous" and that
the little dog merely exhibited the
impudence habitual to little dogs, who
know that they can worry a horse or
a bullock into beating a retreat when
quietly lying down in a field. Lon

A Timely Reminder.
Each season forces upon our consid
eration its own peculiar perils to
health. The advent of fall finds many
reduced in strength and vigor, poorly
prepared to continue the business of
life. The stomach and bowels, the
great highway of animal economy, is
especially liable to disorder in the fall.
The nervous system has also suffered
in the struggle. Typhoid fever and
malaria in particular find in the fall
that combination of earth, air and
water that mark this season as es
pecially dangerous. The falling leaves,
the decaying vegetables contribute
their share of contamination. Hood's
Sarsaparilla furnishes a moat valuablo
safeguard at these important points,
and should be used in the fall before
serious sickness has laid you low.

Henry t Pierce and President Grant.
"Henry Wilson and Henry L.
Pierce," said a well known teller of
political stories, "were great friends.
I think Mi Pierce did what no other
man ever did with a president of the
United btates. Without consultins
Mr. Pierce, President Grant made an
appointment in Boston which was
very distasteful to Mr. Pierce, who
was at the time in congress. As soon
as he heard of it he sought out Mr.
Wilson and both called on the presi
dent, who refused to change his ideas
on tho appointee.
"With firmness and respect Mr.
Pierce, arising, said:
" 'Mr. President, I consider this ap
pointment a personal insult to me,
and I shall never forget it.'
"He never did, at least 6Q far as
President Grant was concerned. n
