it has ever been at any time during
the past 36 years. There, is no grass
on the ranges, and bay Is scarce. So
iar as we are a Die to learn tne oumook
is better in Wasco County. While
stockmen did not raise a large crop
last year, they have considerable old
hay left over from past year's, and are
generally pretty well prepared to care
for their animals, no matter what kind
of weather may come.

Less snow fell here last night than
at any other point on the Columbia so
far as beard. There were four feet at
Bonneville, two and one-half feet at
the Locks, one and one-half feet at
Hood River, and from a foot to eight
een inches at points up the river.

house, was commenced at Albany last
Thursday. The young criminal dis-

has been at any time since the awful
crime was committed.
Few people in the city are aware of
the fact that we have a real, live in

but those who saw Judd Fish operat

fact. Railroad companies would do
well to investigate Mr. Fish's inven

a daisy for cleaning away snow.
The assessment rolls of all the coun

and the greatest decrease is in Linn,
being $138,155.
Mr. R. B. Hood, who returned yes
terday from quite an extended tour
through Calilortia, says there is more
complaint of dull times in California
than In Oregon.. San Francisco, Oak
land and Sacramento do not display
the activity in business that is seen in
Portland, and no town in California
the -size of The Dalles shows anything
like the enterprise that is noticeable
here. Mr, Hood returns better satis
fied than ever with The Dalles.
This snow is some inconvenience to
adults, but it will afford lots of sport

MAJOR JACKSON'S LECTURE.
Thn Pennle of the Fueblos and Their
Peculiar Traits.
Themes and theoreis regarding the
origin and customs of the people who
inhabited America in pre-historic
time3 are ever of interest, especially to
the student of unwritten history, or
rather history that is found in nature's
writings geology and tradition. And
when such theories are related by one
who has gained his knowledge by per
sonal observation thev are doubly in
teresting. Those who attended
Maior Jackson's lecture at the Con
gregational church Tuesday had
the pleasure of listening to such a re-
hersal.
The speaker chose for his subject the
people of the Pueblos, probably one of
the most civilized types of American
Indians. and by a thread of imagination,
aided by geological research, very
vividly showed how it was possible
that man found his origin in America
By the aid of their peculiar styles of
architecture and pottery, relics of
which are found in abundance through
out Arizona and Ivew Mexico, he
reasoned that the Moquis could -be
traced back ages and ages beyond the
date of creation as given us by the
writers of Mythology, and advanced
the idea that America was inhabited
by those people when all of Europe
was a barren, desolate waste. Then
step by step he followed them through
the different ages up to the time when
they were found by the whites, de
scribing their sedentary habits, their
peculiar religious rites, and their in
capability of adapting themselves to
what we term higher civilization, de
scribing them as a happy, contented
people, living as their ancestors have
lived for centuries, and devoid of
higher asperation. They, like all other
American Indians, he believed, were a
distinct type of humanity, and to en
deavor to make anything out of them
but Indians, the speaker considered
not only impossible but unjust.
THE ANTELOPE BCBGLARY.
aiare Particular! Regarding tho Bobbing
of Bolton St Co' Safe.
The Antelope Herald gives the fol
lowing account of ' the recent robbery
at that place :
By the use of two large rasps and a
large monkey-wrench, stolen out of
Peter Kircheimer's blacksmith shop,
the burglars deliberately pried open
the front door of the store, breaking
the part on which the lock was fasten
ed loose from the main part of the
door. They then proceeded to the safe
and with the monkey-wrench, twisted
off the knob; then a long punch was
brought into play and the shaft of the
knob knocked through; into this hole
was inserted a lot of common powder
and a fuse applied. The explosion
bursted the face of the door loose (it
being the "Hall" make, breaking the
hinges, and then after extracting the
bolts, it was an easy matter to remove
the entire door. ' The various depart
ments of the safe were then thoroughly
ransacked and every cent of the gold,
silver and greenbacks taken out, none
of the notes, checks or other valuable
papers therein being disturbed, how
ever, in tne Dig aesK near tne sate
was $25 belonging to T. J. Harper, the
stage man, and this was also taken,
"but none of the other drawers in the
desk had been molested in the least,
showing that the . thieves had been
pretty well acquainted with the prem
ises. Tne two tills or tne store were
then pried open and a good deal of
small chauge procured. Evidently
being satisfied with a haul of $800 or
$900 clean cash, the thieves then de
parted without taking any goods out of
the store,"

Matron; Mr. J. B. Crossen, Worthy
Patron; Mrs. Ella Garretson, Associ
ate Matron; Mrs. Emilie Sanders, Con-,
ductress; Mrs. Mary Biggs, Associate
Conductress; Mrs. Sallie Clark, Treas?
urer; Miss Lena E. Snell, Secretary.
We have a membership of fifty, and
feel that this chapter is on the road to
prosperity. The members are very
much enthused over the work, and are
particularly anxious to have every
thing done to the letter. Brother H.
A. Baker, our present Worthy Patron,
and Sister Cora Miller, have been un
tiring in their efforts for the upbuild
ing of our chapter, and we are very
sorry that they can be with us no
longer, They have moved this week
to Portland where they will reside.
A banquet was given in their honor,
and while a were seated at the table
our worthy matron presented Mr.
Baker and Mrs. Miller each with a
golden souvenir spoon, In behalf of the
chapter, as a token of respect and af
fection. It was after 11 o'clock when
all dispersed to their homes feeling

Last Saturday's Astoria Herald,
meutlonltig what will occur when the
locks are opened, among other things
says: "After the formal opening cere
monies at the locks are had probably
all of the boat3 wiU go up tho magnifi
cent and picturesque river to The
Dalles, where the grand jubilee will
take place. The citizens of The Dalles
are noted for the 'open arms' with
which they receive excursionists, and
that they will be out in "full feathers'
goes without saying. Mr. SiDnott, of
the Umatilla bouse, is expected to
have a few 'new yarns' fish stories to
give the people when they get there."
The Herald is probably not aware that
what it calls Mr. Sinnott'a "fish
stories" are actual faots. The ooloncl
has lived in The Dalles for many years,
has seen it grow from a mere village
to a prosperous city, and the reminis
cences with which he entertains his
guests are historical facts actual oc
currences as he has seen them durin
his many years of close observation
Col. Sinnottis a veritable encyclope
dia when it comes to the early history
of Oregon, and is authority on all
questions of events that occurred in

. Apples to England,
Mr, Einil Schanno, whoisever awake
to the horticultural interests of Wasco
county, and has exerted untiring efforts
to bring our orchard products into
notice, is nw looking for a market for
winter apples In England. He recently
secured a sample lot of Yellow New
town Pippins from Mr. J. W. Baker,
of Hood River, and shipped them by
the sailing vessel Ferdinand Fisher,
which cleared from Astoria last Tues
day, to Liverpool. These apples are
among the best keepers known, Mr.

at the world's fair on his Yellow Kew
towns, and if they stand shipping
around Cape Horn, no doubt they will
command extraordinary prices in
Liverpool and London. The. Ferdi
nand Fisher is expected to" arrive in
Liverpool about April 1, next, and Mr.
Schanno has arranged with the cap
tain of the vessel to place the apples on
exhibition there and report to him the
condition in which they arrive, and
also the price they command. If
these apples will stand ship
ping through the tropics and ar
rive in sound condition, it will open
up a market that has heretofore been
impossible to reach on account of
freight rates, which across the conti
nent by rail and .from New York to
Liverpool by steamer, are so high as
to preclude sbippment that way.
But by sailing ships around the Horn
the rate from Portland to Liverpool
is only $10 per ton, at which rate pro
ducers can afford to ship them.

At high noon "Wednesday, Dec. 18,
1895, at the residence of Mr. G. W.
Johnson, a simple yet beautilul ser
vice was performed by the Rev. W. C.
Curtis, uniting in marriage Miss Let
tie Johnson to Mr. Robert E. Teague.
The beautiful parlor was decorated
with evergreens and the artistic effeet
heightened by the reflected golden
light from the shaded lamps within.
As the last notes of the wedding march
died away the bride and groom entered.
The hride, a charming brunette, was
sweetly gowned in white organdie and
carried a boquet of rare and delicate
flowers which completed a perfect
toilet. After congratulations - each
guest was presented. with a dainty,
unique souvenir containing wedding
cake.
- The happy couple left on the coon
train-in a shower of rice and best
wishes from their many freinds who
gathered at the depot.
Mr. and Mrs. Teague were the re

Prospective Business For the D. P. St A.
N. Co.
A gentleman who resides at Yak
ima, Wash., was in the city a few days
ago, and stated that the low rates
which the D. P. & A. N Co. line was
enabled to offer on wool from The
Dalles to Boston would cause a large
amount of the Yakima wool to be
shipped over this line next season. He
said sheep raisers in that section con
templated driving their sheep into
Klickitat county to shear next spring
in order to be within reach of the
river, and would haul the wool here to
be shipped by the D, P, & A. N. Co.
Lasti year when this company was giv
ing a rate of 90 9-10 cents per pound
to Bos'ton, the Northern Paclflo was
charging 2 cents from Yakima. By
shipping their wool from this point
the Yakima sheep raisers can effect a
saving of 1 cents, and possibly more

'Winter Is Here,
When the peaceful denizens of The
Dalles awoke Thursday, they were
somewhat surprised to find mother
earth covered with eight inches of
winter's raiment. Snow had begun
falling in the evening, and evidently
continued to come down steadily all
night, and it must have fallen in good,
big flakes too. Some old residents who
claim to be in communication with the
fickle elf who presides over the
weather, tell us this is only the begin
ning, and that before the storm abates
we will have a 6now equel to that of
the winter of 1884-so. This may be
true, but it is to be hoped they err in
their prognostications.
Christmas Beef.
This afternoon the stock yards will
ship to Troutdale a car load of beef
that is Intended for the Christmas
market in Portland, and from the ap
pearance of the cattle the most fasti
dious Portlander cannot but relish the
juicy steaks and roasts they will fur
nish. The animals have been fed at
Fifteen-mile by Mr. Kelly, and are in
as fine condition as the best beef that
can be procured during the summer
months. The lot averaged 1357 pounds
per head, and everyone of (hem was a
perfect beauty,
Mr. B. F. Allen, president of the
First National Bank of Prlneville,
and Hon. J. W. Howard, one of Crook
county's commissioners, arrived in the
citv last night. They reported no
snow at Prlneville when they left there
last Tuesday. The first snow they
encountered was at Bakeoven, anj
from there to Deschutes it was badly
crusted, making travel difficult. They

COMMENT ON THE MESSAGE.
It la Generally Indorsed ' by the Press of
the Country.
The press of the country, regardless
of party preference, generally indorse
the president's message and favor the
enforcement of the Monroe doctrine.
Following is what some of the leading
papers have to say:
Chicago Times-Herald (independ
ent The nation is with the president,
Chicago Chronkle (Democrat) The
president's message is not only a
strong appeal to American pride and
patriotism in a matter now at issue; it
is a clean cut and vehement enuncia
tion of the Monroe doctrine, which in
his hands is vitalized as never before
since its first promulgation.
Chicago Tribune However the
boundary dispute may eventuate, the
thanks of the country, are due to
President Cleveland for vigorous, res
olute, fearless and patriotic defense of
that doctrine.
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
(Republican) No one could have asked
for stronger or more vigorous support
of the Monroe doctrine.
The Salt Lake Tribune It will
cause joy in every patriotic heart in
the United States. The doctrine en
unciated is right and must be sustained,
if necessary, even at the expense' of an
exhaustive war, ' -
The St. Louis Reupblic, (Democrat)
President Cleveland's message to
congress is the most virile assertion
possible on the spirit of the Monroe
doctrine.
The San Francisco Chronicle The
argument of the president is unanswer
able. Americans of all shades of po
litical opinion will endorse the special
message of the president in that re
gard. - East Oregonian-rPresident Cleve
land went duck shooting, and made
some fine shots, but none of them com
pare with the accuracy of the aim of
his latest shot at John Bull. It struck
the bull's eye full and fair!
Portland Oregonian Because the
Monroe doctrine is a national Idea,
we do not ask whether it is a principle
of international law or not. We do
not ask other nations to establish and
maintain it. We will do that for our
selves. If we do it with vigor and
resolution, we need not concern our
selves about the recognition of the
principle by other nations. France
never recognized the Monroe doctrine
by formal treaty, but the recognition
she made when she scuttled out of
Mexico was worth all the treaties ever j
signed. We set up the principle for
defense of our national life, We will
interpret it for our selves. - We will
maintain It for ourselves. We will en
force it for ourselves. It ia not an in
ternational law. We shall not seek to
enforce it in Europe, Asia or Africa.
But It is law for the American conti
nent, because our vital national in-
trest requires it. We shall enforce it
here, and the European power -which
wishes to overturn it must ba strorger
than the United Stat93,
Oh, Come OSI
The following is taken from The
Dalles Chronicle: "Editor Armswor
thy, of the Wasco News, went to Salem
to visit the penitentiary, and as he
hasn't returned, his friends are be
coming, anxious lest a mistake has been
made." There was no mistake in re
gard to Editor Armsworthy. The mis
take was made when, the penitentiary
authorities let E. Jacobsen, of The
Dalles, who was with him, get away.
Devil in charge of the News.
But you are decidedly mistaken, Mr,
Devil Walker. Mr. Jacobsen was not
near the penitentiary while in Salem,
nor was Mr. Armsworthy; he visited
one of the other state institutions.
His mission to the capital city was to
interview that unfortunate Sherman
oountyite who went crazy inventing a
oompound, self-acting, automatic-ad-justin
g churn. .

LOCAL SHORTS.
Yesterday the railroad wa9 block
aded, but the river was open, showing
that, barring a freez-up, nature's great
water-ways offer the surest means for
transportation. All that is. needed to
place us in reliable communication
with the outside world is the comple
tion of the locks at the Cascades.
Mr. Geo. W. Dodson, of Prlneville,
came up last night on the . Regulator
from Portland. Mr. Dodson under
took to cross the Cascade mountains
fnom Leabanon, but when he arrived
at Fish Lake - a week ago today, he
found the snow so deep that he could
not go further, hence he retraced his
steps and came by Portland.
Prineville's city election was held
last Monday, and resulted as follows:
Mayor, W. A. Booth; councilmen, C.
M. Elkins, Ed. N. White, S. I. Bel
knap, Ed. Harbin; recorder, B. F.
Nichols; treasurer, J. H. Temple ton,
city attorney, M. R. Biggs; marshal.

Jam e8 S. Foster, one of the pioneer
residents of Yakima county, died at
his home in Parker bottom, near
North Yakima, last Monday. He was
77 years old, and went to Yakima in
1867. Mr. Foster resided for many
years across tne river in Kickitat
county, and had many acquaintances
in The Dalles.
Teachers - in The Dalles publio
schools completed their labors for the
year 1895 'today and were made happy
by the school board ordering that their
salary for the month be paid at once,
instead of conforming to the custom
of Issuing their pay on the second
Tuesday of the month. Acting on
this order Shool Clerk Jacobsen has
distributed about $1000 among the
school ma'ams today.
The O. R. & N. line is now virtually
clear throughout the stta, and trains
are running very nearly on time. The
rotary opened the track between here
and Portland last night, and the east
bound passenger arrived here at 2
o'clock this morning, bringing the
through mall that should have arrived
on yesterday's local. The company
now is in condition to keep the road
open unless unusual storms occur.
The Congregational church, corner
Court and Fifth street Sunday ser
vices as usual: At 11 A. M. and
7:30 p. H. worship, and a sermon by
the pastor, W. C. Curtis. Topio of
the evening sermon "In HisName"
A story of the Christian time. Sunday
school immediately after the morning
service. Meeting of the Young Peo
ples' Society of Christian Endeavor
at 6:30 p. M. Topic "The Good Tid
ings of Christianity," Ps. 52:7-15. All
persons not worshiping elsewhere are

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away a bottle of their Digestive Cor
dial to any one who might call at their
new York office, there was a great rush
and a great many people thought they
were crazy.
Subsequent events prove it to have
been a very clever advertising trars
action, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, it was in the end
profitable: nearly every one that took
a free bottle came back for more and
paid for it with pleasure, saying they
bad derived better results from its use
than from any other medicine they had
ever used.
There is nothing so uniformly suc
cessful in the treatment of stomach
troubles as the Shaker Digestive
Cordial, and what is better than all, it
relieves at once.
The Dream to be Realized.
Yesterday Mr, I. N. Day, one of the
contractors at the locks, stated to an
Oregonian reporter that by March 1,
the first 6teamer will pass through the
locks. He said the lower bulkhead
has been far enough removed to allow
the passage of boats, and while con
siderable excavating remains to be
done at the upper bulkhead, the work
will be accomplished within fifty days,
unless unexpected bard weather inter
venes. May Mr. Day's statement
prove true is the hope of every resi
dent of the upper country.

will find relief
ind a permanent cure in Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. Taken during

flAKES CHILDBIRTH EASY
by preparing the system for parturition,
thus assisting Nature ind shortening
"labor." The painful crdeal of child
birth is robbed of its ttrrors, and the
dangers thereof greatly lessened, to both
mother and child. The pei iod of confine
ment is also greatly shortened, the
mother .strengthened and built up, and an
abundant secretion of nourishment for
the child promoted. If

This is the proper time to build up bet
strength and cure those weaknesses, or
ailments, which are the caus-e of hei

tion dispels aches and pains, melancholy
and nervousness, brings refreshing sleep
and makes a new woman of her.
