Mr. W. A. SHngerland, of Hood
River, was in the city today and made
this office a pleasant can.
Mr. W. A. Robinson, postal in

the city today but left for home this
afternoon.
Two scows loaded with lumber for
theD. P. & A. K., wharf and warehouse
. came up the river yesterday, and are
unloading today.
' Mr. Hunt, who has been employed
at the Umatilla House for quite a long
time, left for Portland this morning,
ana will remain tnere.
The Rothermal case has occupied
- the attention of Justice Da vis all day
and most of yesterday. It is probable
' the end will be reached tonight,
A train load of wethers and lambs
. was shipped from - the stock yards
here today by Wiseman and Shearer.
There were 17 carloads and they go to
Chicago.
Wheat declined slightly in Chicago
yesterday but the prices are main
tained here. Mr. S. B. Adams this
morning stated that he was paying
from 41 to 43 cents, the latter price be-
:' ing for blue-stem. . ,
The price of wheat is' down to the
feeding basis again in the greater part
of Oregon and Washington. A safe
rule to follow is to allow that one
bushel of wheat will add twelve pounds
. to the weight of a pig. With firstclaas
young swine a little better results can
be obtained.
- .The celebrated case of the State of
. Washington against the Bunnell
brothers and others, six in all, that
has been on trial at Grand Dalles for a
week, terminated last night. The case
was submitted to the jury shortly be
fore midnight, and in ten minutes a
verdict of "not guilty" was returned.
Wheat receipts are light today as
compared to yesterday. The reason is
that a large portion of the wheat is
coming from Tygh Valley, the trip re
quiring two days, hence Tuesdays,.
Thursdays and Saturdays are the big
days, the teams getting . in either the
evening before or early In the morn
ing. Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton,
was yesterday afternoon appointed cir
cuit judge in place of James A. Fee
resigned. His appointment was peti
tioned for by all the members of the
bar at Pendleton, all the county offi
cers and nearly all the citizens.
Two persons who recently killed 12
elks on the head waters of the Clacka
mas, were tried at Oregon City iast
week, and . fined $50 each. At the
same place another individual was
fined $35 for shooting a Denny pheas
ant. - According to this the ratio be
' tween elks and Denny pheasants is
as 1 to 3.
The "Bishop of Honolulu" alias
John Lawrence, pleaded guilty of ob
taining money under false pretenses at
Astoria Monday, and was sentenced
to seven months in the county jail.
This is the impostor, who, about two
months ago, succeeded in deceiving I

with their demands for interviews,
are driving him out of the country.
If this be so, more power to their
elbows. Stanley is the worst kind of
a cad, and only the veriest dearth of
news would force any newspaper re
norter to desire an interview with the
wickedest man who ever murdered an
African
- Jules Verne thought he was writing
of an altogether new and unique thing
when he told his famous story of "The
Underground City." But again truth
proves to be stranger than fiction, as
the Russians have discovered a big
underground city in Turkestan, near
the Bokharan town of Karki. Ex
ploration of some big caves revealed
the fact that they led to a city in the
dark, built thousands of years ago.
Two more slabs of stone inscribed
with words and music have been found
in the treasury of the Athenians at
Belphia by the French. By using
some of the fragments previously dis
covered, a second hymn to Apollo,
with its notes, has been put together.
The date is after the conqnest of
Greece by the Romans. The Greeks
seemed to have used 21 notes in their
musical notation, where we use only
12.
Beginning next Tuesday, the dis
trict fair will he held here for five
days. Do not forget the time, and do
not forget to attend it. The fruit ex
hibit will be the finest ever seen here,
and the1 other exhibit at the pavill
ion will be very attractive. Some of
the best horses in the northwest have
been entered for the speed contests,
and some spirited races will result.
It will be "way yonder" ahead of any
fair ever held here, in every department.
and gentlemen of this city, visited Mr.
John Cook's orchard in Dry Hollow,
and while busily engaged in disposing
of a lot of fruit, putting it as they sap
posed where it would do the most
?ood, Mr. Cook put in his appearance,
'here were no arrests made, but in
stead Mr. Cook showed them where
there was a fine melon patch. As a
matter of fact it may be well to state
that Mr. Cook was really glad to see
them, as what to do with those mel
ons had been a conumdrum . he could
not solve. : '
From Thursdays SMiy.
Mrs. Cox, of Kingsley is visiting her
daughter here.
A new platform is building at the
freight depot.
One of W. Gilmore's race horses ar

Mrs. Slayton's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. Welch.
Thurst Masters, of Goldendale, is in
the city. He will leave for Prineville
soon for the purpose of purchasing a
lot of mutton sheep.
Portland has a thief smart enough
to have stolen and got away with a
bass viol from the Taylor-street
Methodist church.
Third street reminds one of the
eastern woods at this season. The
big poplars are sending down a shower
golden leaves, carpeting the ground,
There were three additions to the
Christian church at the revival meet
ing last night. Subject for tonight,
"Cause, Creation and Concentration."
The salmon run continues to de
crease, the pack a', Herrick's running
from 100 to 150 cans a day. It seems
probable that the cannery will close
for the season Saturday.
R. J. Watt was arrested this after
noon charged with violating a city or
dinance. He put up $25 bonds for his
appearance before the city recorder
tomorrow morning, and was allowed
to go in peace.

pioneers this fall is exceedingly
great. Almost every day the death of
one or more is recorded, and the dis-

of whom we speak elsewhere; David
Morse of Empire, who was born in
1806, came-to California in 1849, and to
Oregon ten years later, and- James a.
Russell who settled in the Rogue river
country in 1857.
Rev. Davis who is lecturing in the
Willamette valley, a year or two ago
advertised himself as the Oscar Wilde
of the Pacific coast. He has dropped
tnat bit of comparison.
We are told that the Arabian
Nights will again be presented here
during fair week, Miss Essie Tittell
returning for the occasion. . The play
is a fine one and would undoubtedly
draw a crowded house.
Mr. J. O. Mack arrived home from
Salem last night. He tells us some of
the very best horses now at the state
fair, will be here to take part in the
races, ana that some very notiy con
tested events both in pacing and
trotting will be had.
Mr. Butts savs there is some awfully
smooth person out about Kingsley. He
was out tnere recently in a ouggy ana
some one swiped the cushion from the
buggy. .Butts wouia not care lo.r a
little thing like that, but what makes
him mad is that they took it while he
was sitting on it.
Sat.iirrlair will ha viaitine- dav for
most of our people at the Hood River
fair. Do not think that because you
hear others speak of going that there
will be enough without you. If every
body acts on that plan, there will be
nobodv ero. Go down and get
acquainted with Hood River's genial
people.
The case of the state aeainst Roth
ermal, on trial in Justice Davis' court,
was continued last night, until tomor
row afternoon at 2 o'clock, for the
purpose of getting the docket and
affidavits filed in Justice boesbe's
court at Hood River, on a previous
trial in which the defendant and prose

The Baldwin. Sheep and Land Co.
begs to announce to all parties to
whom they have sold rams this season
that thev will have them in The Dalles
ready for delivery during the week of
the fair, viz: from the 7th to the 12th
of October next. At the same time
they desire to say to any persons in
need of rams, and who have not yet
placed their orders that thejr will ao

Mr. R. B. Hood met with a painful
accident yesterday afternoon, and pre
sents a variegated appearance in con
sequence thereof. He was going
across the railroad track to the Uma
tilla House and as a freight train was
approaching did not pay as strict at
tention to his footsteps as he should
have done. He caught his foot be
tween the. rails and fell, striking his
face on the other rail and accumulat
ing a very black eye and several bad
bruises.

On the large estate of Mrs. E.
Brown, adjoining Gearvis, says the
Statesman, real diversified farming
exists. The management of the im
mense farm falls upon Sam H. Brown,
a young man who has only recently
i passed his minority. Here they keep
'ten to twelve men constantly em
ployed, and many horses, and every
i farm product is raised and sold at a
profit. During the past summer he
I has manufactured many hundreds of
i pounds of cheese. Just now they are
bailing straw and shipping it to the
paper mills. It does not pay much
but it keeps the many hands employed
and saves the burning of the straw.
They will bale up several hundred
tons of hay for market. They have

came to Oregon in 1891, and lor one
and one-half years was proprietor of
and editor of the Pendleton Tribune,
His course during incumbency of the
editorial chair was in keeping with
the character of a man of positive con
victions and unfaltering loyalty to his
party, the Republican, and yet at all
times he was fair and charitabla. On
September 1st three years ago, Messrs,
T. G. Hailey and S. A. Lowell formed

Archie Huston Killed. . '
The Fossil Journal gives the follow
ing account of the accident:
"The death of Archie Huston, as
mentioned in the Eight Mile items in
this issue, occurred over at his father's
Gilliam county farm near Condon last
Friday a week ago, and was the result
of a very serious accident which he
met with the previous Monday.
While riding over the pasture trying
to catch a horse, the animal which he
was riding was attacked by a stallion,
when both horses fell on him, badly
crushing his body. Archie was not
conscious from the time of the acci
dent till the hour of his death, 10 a.
M. Friday. The remains were taken
to his home at Eight Mile the follow
ing day and were interred Sunday,
September 9, at the Odd. Fellows' cem
etery at Hardman. Archie Huston
was the second son of Mr. and Mrs,
Huston, of Eight Mile. He was a
bright young man, 17 years of age,
and well liked by all who knew .him,
The Journal extends heartfelt sympa
thy to the family and friends."
Mbit he made a hasty yisit today.
Mr. J. G. Julian and Mrs. W. P.
Morris , of Hay Creek are in the city
today, Mr.. Julian and Mrs. Morris
are large sheep owners in Crook
county, and the low prices at which
they can obtain goods from The Dalles'
merchants have induced them to come
here to . buy supplies for their
stock farm's.
Noah Mulkey, raised in Polk county,
sent to the state prison from Morrow
county September 13, 1893, for six
years under conviction for man
slaughter, escaped from that institu
tion yesterday morning, shortly after
midnight, and at present writing has
not been recaptured, though officers
are on his trail. He is 28 years old, a
little over six feet tall, weighs 173
pounds, has a scar on right wrist, de
formed nails on left thumb and index
finerer. He escaped from the brick
yard, where he has been employed as
a trusty. There is not one cnance in a
hundred for him to elude pursuit and
recapture, consequently his foolishness
is painfully evident. Superintendent
Gilbert has made an unusually large
number of trusties, consequently an
occasional attempt at escape may be
expected, but under the circumstances
there have been very few indeed.

garden there are loads of Hubbard
squashes, pumpkins, beets, .carrots
and cabbages, all of which will be
utilized for market or the farm,
Nothing goes to waste, but is turned
into money by either selling or feed
ing. In the orchard plums and prunes
are numerous and having no dryer
they are dried on shares by a neigh
bor. This is diversified farming in
the strict sense of the word, and is a
good example set by a yonng man for
older heads to follow. Sam H. Brown

Brown who was long and favorably
known as a French Prairie pioneer
and owner of the townsite of Gervais.
Like Likes Like,
Mr. T. H. Bartlett, who is a great
stickler for "English as she should be"
for the second time takes the Orego
nian to task for using the word "like"
as a conjunction. In a communication
to that paper today he expresses his
dislike for like. ' Mr. Bartlett says
sirire his first rebuke, he has watched
vigilantly, and up to this time has not
seen any lapse into "like" in that
paper. He commends this course, and
adds that "it may be well to avoid the
more glaring errors of our mother
tongue." With all due deference to
Mr. Bartlett'sjability as a peruser of
grammars, we would suggest that if
"our mother tongne" contains"errors"
they are not "errors," because they
are part of our "mother tongue." It
looks "like" it, anyway.
- Are Any of Them Tour BoysT
Agent Lytle requests us to call the
attention of parents to the fact that
boys innumerable are in the habit of
playing in the yards near the depot
jumping on moving freight trains, and
in many ways taking serious risk to
life and limbs. Every effort has been
made by employes to prevent this, but
it seems to be impossible. Mr. Lytle
requests parents to examine into this
matter, and lend their assistance in
preventing, what must, if the practice
is continued, be a serious accident. If it
is not stopped the marshal will be
called upon to arrest all boys caught
climbing on the cars.
These Were Sports.
A party of Ashland hunters bagged
in the wilds of Curry county during a
six weeks' hunting trip, three bull
elk, four bear and 65 fat bucks. They
brought back with them more than
700 pounds of jerked venison. During
the trip, one of the pack animals lost
his footing and rolled down the steep
mountain side for a distance of 125
feet, rolling over and over. The
bulky pack protected him, and so no
serious Injuries resulted.

There was a new sign on the office
deor at the head of the stairs in the
Schanno building .Thursday morning.
A sign that marks the actual entering
into the honorable profession of (he
law of two young men, brothers, and
native sons not only of Oregon, but of
The Dalles. The sign bears the legend
"Sinnott & Sinnott" and the members
of the firm are Nick and Roger, sons
of Col. Sinnott, mine host of the Uma
tilla House. It is worthy of more than
passing notice, the entrance of our
boys into their chosen life pursuits,
and it awakens in an entire commu
nity an ardent hope for the welfare and
prosperity of all such. Here, the boys
attended the public schools, and hav
ing mastered the grades there, gradu
ated at the Academy. From here both
went to Notre Dame College, Indiana,
graduating from that oelebrated insti
tution with high honors. Nick took
the classical course and earned the
degree of B. A.; while Roger took the
law course graduating with, the degree
of L. L. B., following this by being
admitted to practice in the supreme
court of Indiana. Nick returned to
The Dalles and began the study of the
law under the direction of Hon. A. S.
Bennett, one of the brightest lights of
the Oregon bar. In due course of time
he was admitted to practice by the
supreme court of this state, sitting at
Pendleton, and since that time, a few
months only, he has been taking a
rest before taking up bis profession.
. We predict for the new firm a bright i
career, for they bting to their work
clear, logical, analytical minds, backed
by strong, vigorous, physical bodies.
The Times-Mount ajn9 wishes
them all manner of prosperity and
predicts for them, and each of them, a
future that will be an honor to their
relatives, a pleasure to their friends
and a credit to their native town and
state. "

Why Crook County Cattle Increased
The cause of the increase in num
ber of stock in Crook county during
the past year might be briefly summed
up as follows: The increase in cattle
has been 5000 head, or about the num
ber of emigrant cattle driven into the
county, principaaly yearlings from
the Willamette valley. The past year
has been a grass year, consequently
the increase in calves branded during
the year has about equaled the num
ber of cattle ''marketed.- Sheep have
increased 50,000 for the reason of light
winters, followed by large increase in
lambs, together with the fact of low
prices for mutton, so much so that dry
ewes were unmarketable. The re
markable increase in hogs is the direct
result of two good crop years in suc
cession, creating a comparative surplus
of grain: the hogs were raised as
remedy for the grain surplus. Horses
are about equal in number to the' for
mer two years, caused by marketing
large numbers and little attention
paid to the breeding of them. Prine-
lie Review.
Tilford A. Moore, Dead.
Tilford a Moore was found dead on
his ranch near Burns v in the Stein
Mountain Country some days ago ac
cording to a dispatch from Burns, in
today's Oregonian. Mr. Moore was
about 80 years old a veteran of the
Mexican war and an Oregon pioneer,
He settled in this country in 1850, and
owned the property now held by Kerr
& Buckley. Mr. Moore was the prin
cipal witness in the case of the United
States against Shepardson tried 25
years ago. The case will be remem
bered by all old timers. A man
named Tompkins had been sent to the
penitentiary for robbing the mails,
but it developed afterwards that he
was innocent and that Shepardson
was the guilty man. Moore had seen
Shepardson riding a very fine cream
colored horse the morning
before the robbery, near the
scene thereof, and this horse was what
established Shepardson's connection
with the crime.

And Make the Coming; Fair a Grand-8ue-
' cess
Next Tuesday the district fair to be
held here will begin. A large number
of fine horses will be here for the
races, and $2000 will be paid out in
purses. For agricultural and other
exhibits $1500 in premiums will be
paid. The Vogt opera house has been
secured ' for the pavilion exhibits,
which will prove a great convenience,
and entries of exhibits can be made
there up to noon Tuesday. Entries
for stock will be open at the fair
grounds until the same hour, noon
Tuesday, and it is expected the exhib
its in all branches will be unusually
large, and more than usually good.
We cannot urge upon all the necessity
of patronizing the fair, too strongly,
Patronize it by taking your products,
patronize it by attending it. btir up
your local pride and make the fair a
success because it is held here. A
e-ood exhibit is an advertisement for
the country that is of immeasureable
benefit. We need population thrifty,
energetic producers. Men to till the
soil, to make the hillsides yield up
countless treasure in fruit, to send the
stream of yellow grain to the west.
and the golden fleece of yet other
thousands of sheep to the factories of
the east. Men to build up the country
to make productive the vast areas now
idle, to build churches and school
houses; to lighien our taxes, improve
our roads, enjoy the lavish gifts which
Nature has bestowed upon this favored
section and swell the. tide of prosper
ity. The way to get them Is to show
them what the country is capable of,
Show them your stock, your grain,
your fruit; and above all, show them
that you are a wide-awake hustling
people up with the times, and alive to
your best interests. Begin the good
work Tuesday and keep it up, not only
through the week but until our re
sources become known to the world.

Perished With the Caynse.
We were told by Portland exchanges
a few days ago, that the Stark street
ferry had stopped running, and that in
all probability it would never go
again, and now comes the further in
formation that the old Holiday horse
car that for some time had made two
trips a day the length of First street
has ceased from troubling, and the an
tiquated mule that furnished the mo
tive power has been turned out to
rest, or ' sent down to the Linnton
slaughter house, "to be turned into
cayuse beef. One by one the old land
marks pass away to make room for the
now order of things, and it will be
only a short time until electric cars
arc in operation on First street. Joe
Holiday with his blue coat, aboriginal
umbrella and big brass buttons,
missed the opportunity of his life, . in
not attaching a pullman to his cars
in earlier days and regrets over that
neglect was what gave the old man his
sullen, morose and melencholly appear
ance for the last ten years.
8EWELL-WIIXIAMS.
The
Merit Will Win.
The Wasco Observer yesterday
says: "We learn that there are ob
jections in Sherman county among
meat stockmen entering The Dalles
fair for prizes, chiefly because there is
an alleged industrial enterprise, or
combination down there, resolved
upon retaining all honors amongst
themselves."
If such a feeling exists it certainly
does so without any reason therefor.
There are certainly no combinations
here and none have been thought of.
We advise our neighbors to bring
their stock down, for they will get a
square deal, and if they do not get
first prizes it will be because, some
one else has better stock;
Bice the Evangelist.
The Boise Democrat gives the "cow
boy" preacher the following send off:
"Rice, the so called evangelist, slung
his hoofs for other sweet fields arrayed
in living green upon learning that he
was to be confronted with an ordi
nance that couldn't be knocked out in
a higher court. He worked Boise in
fine style and shook the dust of the
town from his boots probably $100,
ahead of the game. He boasted that
he had cooled his heels in every po
lice station in the northwest and came
out winner every time in the way of
sympathy and contributions."
The SUe of the FiU. . '
There is a great row in Portland be
tween the disciples of "big pills" and
those of ''little pills" all caused by the
change in the 'pathy of the medical
department of the Willamette Univer
sity. Heretofore the advocates of the
bolus have been in charge; but now.
those who prescribe the intent for the
deed, and deal in pessimistic, pellets,
dehorned pills, and diluted air, have
full swing. Of course there's . a row,
and a pretty row it is too.
Marriage Took Place at Portland
Wednesday.
Wednesday evening at the residence
of the bride's mother in. Portland,
Miss Male E. Williams, one of The
Dalles brightest and most" beautiful
girls, was married to Mr. Russell E.
Sewell, deputy city attorney of Port
land. The presents were numerous
and beautiful, and after ihe ceremony,
which took place at 8:30, refreshments
were served, , and. ..the . young couple
took the train for the Sound where
they will remain for a couple of weeks.
The groom is a stranger to most of
The Dalles people, but the bride grew
to womanhood here, and was a univer
sal favorite. - If the wishes of this
community are realized, Mr. and Mrs.
Sewell will find their path through life
strewn with roses and their skies
cloudless as a summer day.
Armenian Outbreak.
Constantinople, Oct. 3. A third
slight earthquake shock was exper
ienced here yesterday with rioting
and bloodshed. The imprisonment of
about 500 Armenians, the killing of the
prisoners in cold blood and the pres
ence of troops under arms at all points
excites even the most phlegmatic Turk
The rioting and blood-letting which
began Monday, was renewed Tuesday,
principally by Mohammedan theolog
ical students, who chased and beat
with bludgeons every Armenian they
met.
Tuesday night a mob of Softas and
Turks attacked the house of a leading
Armenian, Kassin Pasha, killing sev
eral persons. ' This mob also sacked a
cafe frequented by Armenians, and 20
of those unfortunate people were beaten
to death with bludgeons. Not a single
policeman appeared, and no attempt
was made to save the lives of the Ar
menians. Naturally the Armenians
put no fait tun the assurance of pro
tection from further violence at the
hands of the Turkish mobs.' Many
sought a refuge in the churches, where
they were earnestly addressed by the
clergy, who enjoined them to be calm
and give the Jurks no further pretexts
for attacking them.
The Armenian churches are now
watched by the police, but the greatest
uneasiness prevails and most of the
other religious denominations express
fear that the fanaticism of the Turks
may extend in other directions. The
Armenians have the sympathy of the
foreigners here, but the fact that they
are armed in spite of their pacific an
nouncements, is condemned by their
best friends and lends color to tho
statements of Turkish " officials, who
claim that Armenian agitators organ
ized a revolt against the sultan's au
thority, and that the attempt to pre
sent a petition to the grand vizier
Monday ' last, which led to the first
rioting and bloodshed, was a mere
pretext to serve as a signal for an Ar
menian outbreak; ,v ;:' - -
An Attractive Show-window.
C. F. Stephens has a show-window
that is attracting lots of attention to
day, and it contains nothing but Ore
gon products within. Yesterday
evening he placed therein a family of
ten prairie chickens. At first they
were very shy, fluttering to the ends of
the window, and beating against the
glass when any one stopped to look at
them. Today though they seem quite
tame, approaching the window where
persons are standing and seemingly
oblivious of them. They are very
pretty, and . seeing them so close it
really seems heartless to even think
of killing them.
Hood Blver Day.
Tomorrow is Hood River day, and if
appearances are not deceptive there
will be a large crowd of visitors from
The Dalles. We can assure our read
ers that they will see as fine a fruit ex
hibit as was ever gathered in Oregon,
and that they will come home with a
much nearer correct idea of that sec
tion's capabilities than they ever had
before. The weather promises to be
delightful, and the trip -will be one
that will -not soon be forgotten.

management is entirely satisfied with

is evident the administration forces

have not sufficient strength to cast a

will try their best to force a vote im

not vote solidly unless absolutely nec

would be responsible for the defeat of
the emergency clause, even if it re
quired a solid vote.
