Mr, Pattison says that four railroad mag' ; nates committed perjury, and he fear lessly gives the dates, the amounts in- - vol ved and the names of the persons, He savs that Oliver Ames on Sept, 27 1870. swore that stock had been subscribed and paid for in the Union Pacific amounting to $36,762,300 when !- but $400,650 had been bo subscribed and paid.

"They increased the C09t of living. They laid proprietary claim to the traffic of large sections of the country. They squandered millions of their . money to 'protect' their territorial claims, while expending other millions ; in encroachments upon the territory claimed by other companies. They constituted themselves the arbiters of trade.' They attempted to dictate the cuanneis mat irauo snouiu ioiiuw auu . ' fixed rates of transportation that were extortionate. They charged all that the traffic would bear, and appropri ated a share of the profits of every in dustry by charging the greater part or . the difference between the actual cost of production and the price of the arti- cle in the market.

They exerted a terrorism over merchants and over communities, suits of the people. Thev participated in election contests. By secret cuts ' and violent and rapid fluctuations in rates they menaced business, para lyzed capital, and retarded investment and development." The" Dalles either Saturday or Sunday. Captain Sherman, formerly of the Kegulator, will be in command and Joe Cunningham, of the upper river, will handle the engines. Mr. John Miller, formerly of Miss ouri, located a homestead in the Winans' neighborhood on Hood river last Saturday. Superintendent A. J.

Quite a number of Portland people came up as far as Hood River yester day to take a look at the fruit exhibit which was left in the hall until this morning. Vogt's opera house was put in shape early this morning for the fruit and other exhibits, and entries have been coming in all day. By tomorrow noon the hail will be tilled. Mr. Frank Meneffee and Mr. Gun ning will leave for Salem tomorrow morning to attend the meeting of the grand lodge K. of P., which begins its session at 7:30 tomorrow night. About 350 men are on the pay-roll of the contractors J. G. and I. N. Day, and work is being pushed as rapidly as possible. The upper bulkhead will be out by New Years, and the canal will be open very shortly after that. Saturday 400 head of cattle were brought in by Mr. McPherson and others, and were sent across the river. They will go to Yakima, where they will be put i.n shape for beef on the Ben Snipes ranch. In conversation with Mr. Herrick this morning, we learned that the fish are still arriving at the rate of 4 or 5 tons a day, and that if the run contin uesgood, as he will keep the cannery going the balance of the week. George Herbert is in the city today, and those who know him best will notice a most decided change in his appearance. This change was caused by his recent experience as a flag-pole, the particulars of which he will give you. He told us confidentially that he expect -da halyard to sprout on the back of his feared, and found that he would be planted at Celilo as a storm signal. V APPLES AJTD BABIES. From Tuesday's Daily.

After that he will visit Woody, Kern county, Calif., for a few montns. The boat carried quite a lot of pas sengers to Hood River this morning:, but not as many as would have gone under other circumstances. The im mense amount of wheat coming in, and consequent rush of business pre vents our mercnants getting away. The cannery will probably be kept running anotner week, as from four to five tons of nsh a day are being re ceived. The crew has to be kept any way lor mat lengtn or time, lacquer ing, labeling and packing the cans, and as long as the men are here and this, work is unfinished, the cannery will be operated long enough every day to nandie tne nsn caugnt. This is one of those days that makes a news chaser weary of existence. The news market is bare, from Dan to Beersheba, from Mill Creek to the brewery, from what-you-may-call-em to aa-early dinner. There is no marrying, no burying, no lawing, no jawing, no runaways no nothing, and we are awfully glad that tomorrow is Sunday when the elusive items ceaseth from troubling and the reporter as well as the readers gets a rest. Phil BrosransSr.. has iust returned from Antelope, where he has been looking after his stock interests. Rev. and- Mrs. Curtis left on the Regulator this morning for Hood River to visit Dr. and Mrs. Barrett. The funeral of the late Mr. L. Sands will take place from Crandall & Bur- gett's undertaking parlors tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. Geo. Consor, cashier of the First National bank of Heopner. and Wm. Hughes and F. R.

Wheat still remains firm at 41 cents. and large quantities are arriving; daily from across the Columbia.- Consider able is also arriving from Sherman county. The Wasco Warehouse Co. made a number of large purchases yesterday Irom JUickitat farmers. One of the first things Been on the streets this morning was T. A. Ward witn an elegant wagonette, conveying passengers to tne lair ground. Mr. Ward is an old-time stage driver, and has not lost the art of drawing the reins over a spirited four-in-hand. Hon. F. P. Mays spent an hour in the city this afternoon. He was re turning from Moro to his home in Portland. The Dalles, the scene of Mr. Mays' early -life, still has attrac tions for him, and he and Mrs. Mays will return here Thursday to visit old friends and attend the fair. Mrs. W.-J. Morris, of Hay Creek, Crook county, has placed her daughter, Miss Wasco, in the public school here. The Dalles public schools have indeed a well earned reputation for thoroughness, hence it is that resi dents of adjoining counties bring their cniidren nere to be educated. Mr. Jacob Gulliford, of Dufur, is in the citv today. Mr. Gulliford tells us fall sown grain in the neighborhood of JJufur is needing ram very badly, However it is coming up fairly well. and with a few showers within the next week or ten days, will attain con siderable growth before the cold weather begins. Antelope will be represented on the race course during the week by the well known racer Frank Hastings, the property of Dan Goodwen. Antelope's sporting fraternity always back their home celebrities, and it is pretty cer tain tnat Hastings will sell well up toward nrst cnoice in all races in which he may enter.

The action of Multnomah county's assessor in listing church property for taxation meets the approval of a ma jority of the . board of equalization, and unless the action is reversed by the supreme court all property owned by church societies in Portland, and not used exclusively for church pur poses, will have to pay its portion of taxation. Concerning this the Tele gram of yesterday says: "Assessor Greenleaf, with the concurrence of County Court Clerk Smith, compos ing the majority of the board of equal ization, has sustained himself in regara to tne assessment of revenue- producing church and benevolent societies' property. The board has refused in a formal way, to interfere with the assessment and will keep its hands off. It is almost certain that test suits will be filed at once by a few of the leading remonstrants against taxation, and these cases will be hur ried to . the supreme court for final adjustment."

CONDON, -Mgr Hood Ktver Hade a Grand Exhibit of Her Two Leading Products. Saturday was a red-letter day for Hood River. Her brag products were on exhibit and her people were proud of what they had to show. And it was an exhibit in which they might well take pride. The large Armory building was lit erally crov ded with the choicest pro ducts of Hood River and White Sal mon valleys, and the way it attracted the admiring gaze of the people could only be likened to the attraction of beautiful flower garden to a swarm of bees. On entering the spacious rmory the first thing to' attract one's atten tion was the motto "Welcome to Hood Kiver." cooking about the hall an other motto that greeted the eye was "By Our Fruits We Are Known," cov ering tne entire north end of the pa vilion, while at the opposite end were two very appropriate pictures on which were inscribed "Apple is King" and "Strawberry is Queen." But one's at tention could not long be attracted by mottos; mere were too many red ap ples to look at. There were apples and apples no matter where you looked The plate display consisted of the products of 100 different farms and comprised 129 distinct varieties, and such apples as they were. Great, big, healthy ones, free from insects, and glistening as if they had been greased just sucn apples as make toe average small boy hate himself because he has not the capacity of a warehouse in which to stow them away. And even the adult was led to feel unkindly to ward himself for not having a greater capacity for eating apples when he gazed upon the grand aggregation of beauties. Hood River's fair demon strated beyond all question not only that that section is capable of produc ing apples to perfection, but that it would be a successful competitor for blue ribbons against the whole world when real merit delicacy of flavor and handsome appearance is taken into consideration. Next to her apples, Hood River claims prominence as a producer of pretty babies, and in this article too, she is a prize winner. When Superin tendent Smith called for the exhibit of this product fifteen proud mothers stepped upon the stage, each holding aloft her household ' pet, and these future presidents and presidents' sweet hearts were just as fresh and bright as the apples perfect pictures of health and vitality, and some of them displayed a lung power that never could have been acquired in anything but a healthful climate. The first prize in this exhibit was awarded to the first born of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Arnold,, and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Yates were awarded second prize for their youthful progeny. While apples and babies are the brag - products of Hood River, there were other exhibits from the field and garden that were attractive. There were squashes weighing -50 pounds, corn 10 feet high, potatoes the like of which old Ireland never could have produced, and cabbage the likes of which the most loyal subject of Wil helm never saw in his "faderland." And the ladies too had an exhibit of preserved fruits, jellies and jams that could only be prepared in a fruit-producing country of the first rank. They were elegant to look upon, but as they all had the inscription "taste not" their quality of toothsomeness remains a mystery. .Besides tne iruit and vegetable ex hibits was a fine collection of relics of former times, prominent among which was an old sword bearing the inscrip tion "Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775," and supposed to be the identical sword which the patriot General Warren car ried on that memorable day a cher ished trophy belonging to Dr. Adams; a dueling case, the property of W. J, Baker, containing two murderous- looking weapons and other accouter ments common to the days when the "code of honor" was religiously ob served, and an old flint lock rifle, no doubt the one which Rip Van Winkle carried on the mountain that unfortu nate day when he imbibed in the sleep giving draughts of the gods. There was also a Bible 160 years old, a Zulu chief's shoulder cape,, bedecked with the gayest tapestry, a valentine which R. Pealer sent to his sweet-heart Feb. 15, 1862, when a soldier boy way down at Little Rock, and a copy of the New York Herald of April 15, 186S, an nouncing the assassination of Presi dent Lincoln. J. L. Langille's cabi- was inaeeo interesting, since it con tained many pages of unwritten his tory and evidences of the work and skill of the almost pre-historic man. xn addition to tnese were numerous bed spreads of patterns dating back to the sixteenth century, and upon which the matrons of early days had devoted untold hours of labor. The fair in every feature was with out question a grand success, doing ample credit to a most prolific section and one of the most progressive and enterprising communities in the state, It was a demonstration of what pluck and energy will accomplish in a local ity where nature has bestowed ample favors, and had it been seen by the thousands who are looking for profit able investments in land would have raised the price ofHood ' River real estate 75 per cent.

Chas S,L T J Big Timber, Mont, Editor Times-Mouutaineer: Started from Puyallup Saturday afternoon at 4:20 and arrived at this place this morning at 8 o'clock, Rocky Mountain time, being 7 o'clock accord ing to The Dalles meridian. The ride Saturday night was uninteresting, be cause we were not in a conscious state of existence, having" elided into the arms of Morpheus after having seen the snowbanks at Stampede about 10 o'clock. Yesterday, in the morning we fol lowed up the coulee in which is located the thriving towns of Ritzville and Sprague. The latter place is spring ing from the ashes in commendable style. . Nearly the entire business por tion was destroyed in the conflagra tion, but many bricks and several frame buildings are in course of con struction, and the site is dotted all over with canvas shacks in which dif ferent businesses are carried on. If the shops are rebuilt Sprague will soon regain her former prosperous condi tion; but if thse are constructed else where her growth will be retarded. Sage brush plains continue until the fringe of timber which skirt Cheney and Spokane is reached. The land be comes more broken, and it has not the forbidding appearance of sage brush, alkali lakes and treeless wastes A few years ago Cheney was a for midable rival of Spokane, but she has fallen far behind in the race, with no prospects of recovering lost ground. What is true of Seattle is also of Spo kane. There is a unanimity of senti ment in favor of developing every pos sible natural resource, and the bene ficial results are being shown. With the falls in the river as the only supe rior advantage over other points, Spo kane has grown from a town of a few hundred to a city of 35,000. There ares several brick blocks, some buildings six and seven stories high, miles of street railway and steel bridges span ning the river. Business is said to be dull in Spokane, but it is so every where. There are vacant buildings, but these are principally frame, while new ones of brick and stone are being erected. It may be that Spokane grew too rapidly for a nrhile; but she is fill ing in all vacant places, and in the future will be solid and substantial. Passing rapidly over the level Spo kane prairie, past the beautiful Coco lala lake, the Pend'Oreille is crossed at Sand Point, and the iron horse skips rapidly along the shore of this placid sheet of water until Clark's Fork is crossed a few miles below old Cabinet Landing. Some of the log buildings erected during construction days still remain, but the site of Hal- let's city of tents on the opposite side of the river can hardly be discerned. Following down Clarke's Fork the next city of importance reached is Missoula, located in the fertile Bitter Root valley. It is the center of trade of a large farming, grazing and min ing region, and is a thrifty city of sev eral thousand inhabitants. Here we met Johnnie Moabus, who is in the employ of the Northern Pacific. He hes managed to develope a moustache, is quite manly in appearance, and is altogether different from the little boy we patted on the head a few years ago on the streets of The Dalles, from him we learned that Dr. W. F. Robin son is located at Missoula, and does a thriving dental business. He is the leading dentist in the city, and is re ported, to have accumulated considera ble filthy lucre. His daughter, Miss Fannie, is one of the teachers in the public schools. Helena, Drummnod and other im portant points are passed in the night, and at daylight this morning the train passed down the Gallatin valley with the ground covered with snow, which continued until Livingstone was reached. 1 The valley is several thous and feet above the ocean, and to an Oregonian is bleak, cold and forbid ding. Snow in September is contrary to the eternal fitness of things to one who has lived several years in Eastern Oregon. . - ' These scribblings, penciled while the train ran at the rate of 25 or 30 miles an hour, are enough for the supplies can be bought hers much cheaper than anywhere else, and the winter's firewood can be taken home, s iving $2 per cord. Of course the whole matter is the result of freight charges. Owing to sharp competition between the O. R. & N, and the boat line, the wheat rate from here to Portland is 4i cents, while from Sher man county the rate is a trifle under 10 cents. It takes one day to make the trip to Biggs, and two days here, but the difference in the price of a four horse load amounts to about $4, while the saving on two c"ords of wood, back is $i more, or if supplies are purchased the difference is still greater. The farmer ran thus make $8 for a day's work for himself and team by coming here. 'With good roads, the trade would be directed to The Dalles, and the- building of the proposed road along the north side of Gordon ridge would accomplish wonders in that direction. AT THE FAIR GROUNDS. The First Day Opens Under Favorable Circumstances Good Exhibits and Fair Attendance. The seventh annual fair of the Second Eastern Oregon Agricultural Association opened today under very favorable circumstances. The race9, which are always one of the leading at tractions of the fair, promise to be better this year than they have ever been. There are thirity-five head of runners and trotters on the ground, and the track is in superb condition. Two races are on today's programme a quarter mile dash and a half mile and repeat. The following horses were entered in the quarter mile: "Little Dug, jockey, Harmon; Black Prince, jockey, Bagley; Steamboat Bill, jockey, Boynton; Grover, jockey, J. E. Garri son, and these horses will make up the half mile and repeat: Black Alder, jockey, J. E. Garrison; Henerietta, jockey, Bagley; Pic Nic, jockey, Best; Mowetza, jockey, Russel; Mamie, ockey, S. A. Bovnton. The prize stock have not all arrived yet, but enough entries have been made to tax the capacity of the grounds. Live stock of every description can be seen on exhibition. The Armory hall is rapidly being filled up with exhibits ranging from a delicate pastel painting to a cabbage head. The artists have evidently gone to work heart and soul in order to make the fair a success, for they have by far outdone all their neighbors. In the art gallery there is everything one could ask for. The taxidermists are also out in full force with all kinds of wild animals and birds. There, as one walks around the ball be encounters apples, pears, beats, oats, wheat, in fact all kinds of farm produce, of such a fine quality that they would make a worlds fair prize winner almost ashamed of himself. Several of our energetic merchants are having booths made up in which to -display their wares. In talking with" Mr. Gourley, the general superintendent of the ex- j hibition, our reporter was informed that he was almost at a loss to know ' what to do with all the exhibits; he was afraid tnat he would have to turn some of them away or elsc crowd them in very close. Mr. Gourley is deter- ' mined to keep sufficient room free from exhibits so that the visitors will not have to crowd around to see "things. Seats will also be provided for those who wish to remain and hear the music. Music will be furnished every evening while . the fair lasts by The Dalles Orchestra.

The German people seem to be able to get more pleasure out of a social gathering, than any others and they certainly managed to crowd a great deal of en joyment into the few hours they were together last night. - When Entries Close.

Competltltlon Brines Sherman County Trade Here. Mr. W. S. Barzee called in the office todav and from him we rather a few facts concerning the Sherman county trade, which emphasizes the fact that The Dalles is the best market in the northwest, and that when the river is opened at the locks it. will be still better. Mr. Barzee tells us that yes terday eleven teams, most of them four and six horse, came in from Sherman county, over the Miller bridge loaded with wheat, and that thirteen teams oame in over the free bridge or twenty-fqur in all, that brought in an average of thirty-five sacks each or a total of 840 sacks or 1,900 bushels. Mr. Barzee stated that it was probable that a large portion of the Sherman county wheat would be marketed here. The reason for this is thedifference in prices between Grant, Biggs and other Sher man county points and The Dalles. There, wheat graded as No. 2 brings 33 cents a bushel, while. here-' the' same wheat is graded as No. 1 and brings from 40 to 41 cents. At the same time 1 Ointments For Catarrh That . Contain Mercury, As mercury will surely destroy-the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. . Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physi cians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting- directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure'be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally, and made in Tol edo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Tes timonials free. . SSold by druggists, price 75c. per bottle. 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 una in tne 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 most valuable safeguard at these important points, and should be used in the fall before serious sickness has laid you low. Still Another Call.
