but he anticipates good prices will
prevail before spring.
An amusing sight was witnessed
this morning when the Regulator
started for the Locks. Seven persons
from the Washington side desired to
take passage, but were a few minutes
late, and had to be taken on board
from a skiff in the middle of the stream.
The way they pulled for the boat would
have done credit to the most expert
dongolier.
Mr. H. F. Byers, editor of the Gol-
dendale Sentinel, is in the city. Mr.
Byers reports a decided improvement
business at Goldendale over last
year. The farmers having Harvested
good crop and reoeived a fair price
for it, are enabled to meet their bills
more readily than they did a year ago,
hence general prosperity prevails
in
A Cold-Blooded Harder Near Caleb
Grant County.
The Canyon City News of Oct. 31st
gives an account of the murder of Mrs.
try by ner nusoand, Wm. t ry, near
Caleb, about 75 miles west of Canyon
City, in Grant county. The News
says:
"Fry had been living unhappily with
his wife for some time, and last Friday
he went to the house of one of the
neighbors where she was visiting, for
the purpose of having an interview
with the aged companion of his bosom.
Mr. Fry called the old lady out of the
room, and it is safe to presume that
their conversation was not upon the
same order as that of the time of their
honeymoon so many years ago. At
least this is the admission made by the
old gentleman. He seems badly
'broken up,' and has told different
stories-regarding the occurrence. ' He
says, however, that while the conver
sation lasted he did not begin to get
angry until his wife called him a liar;
and not real angry until she empha
sized her assertion by calling him a
d m liar. Then he could not control
his temper, and pulled out his revolver
and shot her.
"The bullet struck the woman in the
face, entering the cheek and lodging
at the back part of the head. A phy
sician was called from Mitchell, who
pronounced the wound fatal. But the
victim lingered on until Sunday after
noon, when sne cued, in tne mean
time the man who did the shooting
had surrendered himself to the author
ities, and a preliminary trial before
Justice Cowne resulted in his being
held under bonds in the sum of $3000,
pending the death of his victim. He
was delivered to the sheriff londfty
morning, and the stage driver who
came in Tuesday morning brought the
information thaMrs. Fry died on
Sunday. Therefore the murderer will
be given a chance to brood over his
awful crime in the solitude . of the
county jail until the May, 1896, term
of circuit court."

After spending a few days In Port
land, Mr. S. L. Brooks returned home
last night, and says it is a mistaken
idea that Portland is the "hub" of the
northwest. The Dalles, Mr. Brooks
says, Is entitled to that distinction,
since it does more business in propor
tion to its population than any other
city on the coast.
Presentation Exercise, to bo Held at the
' Armory.
Several 'years ago the pupils and
teachers purchased a flag for the Court
street school.
On the opening of the schools last
September, Ci.pt. Vaud, of the Regu
lator, presented a large flag to the dis
trict for the Academy Park BChool.
On public days of local or national im
portance these flags above the build
ings' add much to the appearance of the
city.
The Woman's Relief Corps of The
Dalles has arranged, to present each
department of the schools a smaller
flag to be used in connection with a
patriotic salute in the daily opening
exercises. This salute is a common
custom in many large schools of the
country.
As none of the school rooms are
large enough to hold all of the pupils,
the presentation exercises will be held
at the new Armory, on Friday, Nov,
15, beginning at 2 p. m.
The exercises will continue about
one hour, and in addition to the for
mal presentation of the flags by the
Relief Corps, there will be patriotic
songs, recitations, flag drills, and other
similar exercises by the school' pupils.
The Armory is estimated to seat 1,100
to 1,200 persons.

A Large Acreage In Northern Dakota De
voted to the Growth of Wheat,
The Dalles, Nov. 7, 1895.
Editor TIMES-MOUKTAISEEB.
The extensive level prairies in Da
kota constitute some of the most prince
ly farms on the continent. In Argen
tine the large areas devoted to pastur
age may excel them in extent; but
these pastures continue in their pri
meval, uncultivated condition. On the
contrary the bonanza farms of Dakota
have been highly cultivated, and the
latest improved implements are used.
The line of the Northern Pacific
passes through these Immense farms,
and on either side they can be dis
cerned to the almost boundless limit of
the horizon. Apparently the soil is as
level as a floor, and the monotony of
the immense stubble fields are dotted
at intervals with wheat ricks. The
grain is bound in sheaves, and then
securely placed in stacks, which are
constructed with great care so as to
withstand the storms of fall and winter,
if necessary.
The Dalrymple farm comprises 62,-
000 acres, and the proprietor has a
little army of employes. Harvest time
had passed when the writer made the
trip on the last days of September, and
only a few men could be seen gathering
a few scattered sheaves. Every three
or four miles are clusters of farm build
ings, and wagon roads intersperce the
area at convenient distances. With
the immense output of grain a small
profit per acre will give Mr. Dalrymple
a good income, and as his money in
vested elsewhere would realize him a
very small percentage, perhaps he re
alizes better 'from his American farm
than if the same capital had been
placed In government securities.
But with the westward course of em
pire these immense tracts will be cut
up in small holdings, and communities
will build towns where now only grain
fields are seen. Then will follow di
versified industries, and labor will be
better paid and the wealth of the state
will increase. This is the inevitable
destiny of all such regions, and Dakota
will furnish no exception to other por
tions of the country.
Along the line of the Northern Pa
cific the Bonanza Farms vill always
be an attraction to the tourist, and,
while these may not create the same
interest as grand mountains, valleys
and rivers; but they form an agreeable
foreground to a picture that will al
ways rival the creation of any gifted
artist. Ex.

Encouraging For Horaeraisers.
Mr. Charles Richmond, who has just
returned from Chicago, psays the out
look for horseraisers east is much
hotter than it has been for years.
The demand in Chicago for good draft
and back horses is quite brisk and
prices are steadily advancing, so that
raisers and dealers are realizing fair
profits. For tne advance in prices
there are. two reasons. During the
past few years of depression raisers, to
a creat . extent, ouit breedinc. thus
All the public school . limitirjg the supply, and with the re-
sumption of activity and increase in
the demand for work-animals the
schools and march to the Armory.
This will be the largest gathering of
school pupils ever seen in The Dalles,
as the schools were last 1 assembled in
one body on Columbus day in October
'92, when the number in attendance
was much smaller than at present.
WHOLESALE HAT BCBNING.
An Apparent Move Against Sheepmen in
Crook County.
Word has just been received of the
burning of 140 tons of hay belonging
to Mr. James Connelly, of Cherry
Creek, Crook county on the morniDg
of Nov. 2. This is the fifth lot of hay
that has been burned in that section
within the past month. The hay thus
far destroyed belonged to sheepmen,
and a suspicion is aroused that is is a
concentrated action against the sheep
raisers in that locality to destroy their
fodder and thus close them out of busl?
ness. -
The plan adopted by the incendiaries
appears to be to place phosphorus
about the stacks during the night,
which is ignited by the heat of the
sun the next day, setting the hay on
fire, and everything is consumed by
the flames. Sheepmen in that vicinity
are guarding their haystacks day and
night, and it will be no surprise if the
fire-bugs are some night caught. ' If
they are the coroner of Crook county
will likely have employment inquiring
into the cause of their demise, for the
men who are guarding their property
will not hesitate to use violent means
in its defense. ,

Too.
The returns received last nigh't from
Tuesday's elections confirm the report

governor, 2482 plurality, and Allen for
congress 1092. The legislature will be
about two to one Republican.
In the other states the pluralities
are about the same as published yes

Dng Up a Skeleton.
A very peculiar incident and rather
on the sensational order was an occur
rence which happened the other day
on the farm of Joseph Houghton, who
resides near Milton, Oregon, says the
Walla Walla Union. . Mr. Houghton
was engaged in plowing, and in turn-
incr the soil he unearthed a human
skeleton, supposed to be that of an In'
dian. What seems to be still more
curious is that it was found in a sitting
position. . A large indenture is said
to be just above the right eye, and the
head is of a very peculiar shape. The
rear of the skull seems to be twisted
considerably to the left and the face to
(he right.
This spot may, at one time, have
been the scene of a terrible massacre
in which the Indians figured conspicu
ously, as this is the second skeleton
that has been plowed up on Mr, Hough
ton's farm,
Wheat "Speculators."
The Bulls and Bears of Chicago
have ever come in for their share of
condemnation for the reokless manner
in which they deal with wheat, corner
options and wreck prices, but a class
of wheat -'-'speculators" have, made
their appearance in Sherman county
who are even more dangerous to the
farmer. Their method it to swipe the
whole stack, regardless of prices. They
recently carried off 100 sacks belong
ing to Mr. Pugh, near Wasco, which
be had stacked in a field, and 60 sacks
of Klickitat wheat from the platform
of the Columbia Commercial Co. at
Grants. No clue to the identity of the
thieves is obtainable, sinoe they failed
to leave their address or the card of
the firm for whom they are operating.
EVIDENTLY A MISTAKE.
Conflicting Statements Abont the Opening
of the Locks.
The Pendleton Tribune of the 6th
credited Major Post, government en
gineer, with the .following statements
concerning the completion of the locks
at the Cascades:
"In speaking of the Cascade locks,
Majqr Post said that the work would
not be completed for a year or so. Con
siderable material will have to be re
move from the entrance to the locks.
Everything considered, Major Post
says, boats will not be able to pass
through for a year or so."
Evidently the Tribune either quotes
Major Post incorrectly or misunder
stood his statements; for when he was
in The Dalles last Tuesday evening, he
stated that the locks will be completed
so that boats can pass through Imme
diately after the -next high water. This
of course means that the work will be
finished prior to the rise of the water
next spring, or about the first of
March, the date on whioh Day Bros,'

Bureau for the Clergy.
The Western Passenger Association
is considering the formation oi a new
bureau, which will have the handling
of clergy permits alone. Such a bu
reau will keep a force of clerks busy
all year. Last year the roads in the
association issued 175.000 clergy per
mits and the chairman of the associa
tion investigated 14,00l applications.
It is proposed to make the new bureau
self sustaining by charging each appli
cant fifty oents for a permit, .

bend his statements. And suoh a state,
ment is contrary to the information
given out by the contractors. Last
Sunday a gentleman of this city was at
the locks, and to him Mr. I. N. Day
said the work, so far as their contract
was concerned,! would be finished
about March 1, 1896. This means that
boats can be passed through by that
date. So far as the work there is con
cerned, it is progressing satisfactory,
all the men being' employed that can
be worked to advantage. The lower
bulkhead will be removed within thirty
days, and all the stone work will be
completed by December 1st. The up
per core is being taken out at the rate
of 700 cubio yards per day, and there
yet remains about 40,000 cubic yards to
remove. This will require only about
forty days. One-half the last gate is
now in place, and the other naif is
being put in place with all possible
haste. With such facts as these ex
isting, there is no reason to believe it
will yet be a year before boats can pass
through the looks. r

Addition to Hood River.
The owner of this, the most beautiful residence portion,
of this beautiful village, has notified us that money must
be had and to cut" prices until they .will sell; and so we.
have made a slash of from 25 to-4Q per cent on every,
thing placed in our hands. When you realize the fact
that the beautiful new $9,000 school house is built in this
addition, and that this property surrounds it, you will
know that it is offered at prices below anything ever
known. We have three five-acre tracts two blocks from
the' school house, for $750 each, or a rate of $150 per
acre. .No land in thi9 addition has ever Bold for less
than $600 per acre, and never will be again. . We have
f also lots in adjoining block to' the school house ranging
from $75 to $250, according to location and size. No
lot less than 50x100 feet. . . . ; . ...
Now see what you think of this : We have an 8-room:
hard finished house, with six lots. The house cost $1,200;
ordinary price of lots in same locality $200. The former ,
price at which this has been held was $2,500. We now
offer this beautiful property at the ridiculous figure of
$1,200. We have an adjoining house of six rooms, hard'
finished, with three lots the very finest residence loca
tion in the city only $800. It is a crying sKame to
offer this property at these prices, but we are helpless"
and must obey orders. We have also some choice straw
berry and fruit lands at very low prices.
Now this is an advertisement and gotten up to sell the'
land, and is every word true. If you don't believe it
come and see it, we will be glad to show it. , . . , , V
