The commissioners, after examining the road, were well pleased with the work, pronouncing it first class. Mr. William Bradford, who left Oregon about a year ago to seek his fortune in Montana, arrived in The Dalles Saturday night. He says Mon tana is all right for capitalists to oper ate in, but for the man with ordinary means or one who Works for wages, it does not compare with Oregon. There Is probably no order in exist ence that makes a greater specialty of seeking pleasure than the Elks. Those who attended their social meeting Saturday night all are ready to testify to this fact, and assert that nobody has a conception of real .enjoyment nntit he has spent an evening with the Elks. .Jackson county is $7.50 better off ow ing to the change of heart of John A.

Seattle and Tauoma are again at war as they always are if either has a prospect of securing the least advan tage not possessed by the other. Both want the proposed new military post, but each, would rather no post should be established on the Sound than that the other should secure it. Probably some other place would do as well.

The government timber land inspec tor is in La Grande, and has suspended payme. t on several lots of railroad ties until he can have time to investi gate them. When he finds they are all right he draws the order and the tie men get their money. On the other hand, if he finds the ties were cut on government land he seizes them and reports the matter to the federal grand jury.

Many elegant costumes were worn by the gay dancers, but a description 6i them would be utterly impossible. There were so many handsome cos tumes and well sustained characters that it was indeed a difficult matter for the judges to decide who were en titled to prizes, however the awards were made to Miss Laurensen, for the best sustained lady character and to Mr. Chas.

The business men of Portland are to the front with a movement that cannot but be to the benefit and prosperty of Oregon. For the past four or five years the organization known as the Oregon immigration board has been practi cally dead, largely on account of lack ing funds tofurther its purposes. This failure to advertise the desirability of this state as a place of residence has been felt by the business community in the decrease of the number of immi grants. With the close of the Oregon indus trial exposition eight of the committee, who had so successfully managed that affair, decided to come together and rehabilitate the old Oregon immigra tion board. This has been done, the new organization being known as 'the Pacific Northwest imigration board, its promoters being Messrs. Ellis G. Hughes. E. C. Mas ten. L. L. Haw kins. A. H. Devers, B. S. Pague. L. D. Cole, H. W. Goode and Sol Oppen heimer. It is proposed by the boord to draw immigration to Oregon, particularly of the farmer class, by judicionsly ad vertising the immense natural wealth and resources of the state. Funds, of course are needed to carry out his plan, and prior to proclaiming the or ganization to the public the business men named made a cauvass of -he mer chants of the city with such batterin results as to assure the pay ment-of $30, 000, the sum considered necessary'- for carrying on of work. Already $10, 000 has been raised, and should those yet. to be seen respond in anythin like the manner of the present sub scribers, there will be no difficulty in placing the board on a firm financial basis. '; ' ' I It is intended to organize county committees, who will take cve of ar riving immigrants, and also to pub lish a monthly pamphlet or magazine. with fresh matter, describing different sections of the state, in each issue. The railroads promise their full sup port, and with the aid of the busi ness community, the Pacific No th west immigration board seems an as sured success. Telegram. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY. Burglars Entered the Store of Moore Bros.' at Moro, Bat Were Fright . ened Away. Moore Bros, were surprised Fri day morning on going to their store-to find that some time .during the pr- vious night it bad been entered by burglars, and were equally surprised to find that the robbers had not suc ceeded in getting away with auything. They had gained admitance through a side window to the office and bad pried off the hinges to adoor leading into the main storeroom. - Evidently the at tempt at robbery bad been made about 3 o'clock in the morning, as about that hour a number of young people, who had been attending a party in the country, came into town, making cor. sideraole noise, and it is supposed frightened the robbers away before they had time to make a raid on the safe. This was evidently their inten tion, as a number of tools which bad been stolen from a blacksmith shop were found in the store, left there by the burglars. Mr. W. H. Moore, who was in the city Friday, stated that there was no clew to tbeldentity of the would-be robbers, and that they left no traces by which' they could be fol lowed. " " - ; THE DISTILLERY AT GRANTS. It Will Again Brgin Operations on ' ax Increased Scale. During the time it was operated, prior to the flood of 1894, the distillery at Grants proved to be one. of the lead ing industries of this section, one that not only kept a large amount of money at home but also furnished a borne market for a large amount of grain The distillery was formerly operated by the Portland Distilling Co., which has been merged into the Pacific Dis tilling and Milling Co., with its prin cipal office in San Francisco, Mr. Ed gar B." Carroll, of San Francisco, hav ing recently associated himself with Messrs, G. B. Goodell and J. W, Walker in the company, and is its president. Besides the distillery, which has a capacity for consuming 300 bushels of wheat a day, the company owns the large roller mills -at Grants that produces from 75 to 8 barrels of flour daily, and have extensive facili ties for feeding cattle and bogs. At present they have 200 head of cattle and 500 head of bogs in their stalls fattening. .It is expected that the dis tillery will again start up on the 15th, and under the management of the new company will be run to it full capacity," - The Reservation Boundary. A bill to permanently fix tho boun dary of the Warm bpring Indian reser vation has been introduced in congres j. It Ib as follows : . ."Be it enacted by .the senate and house of representatives of the United 1 States of America in congress assemb led, that the true northern boundary 4ine of the Warm Springs Indian res ervation, in the state of Ore ;on, as de fined in the treaty of June 2-"), 1S55, made between the United states, rep resented by Joel Palmer, superintend ent of Indian affairs of Oregon terri tory, and the confederated tribes and bands of Indians in middle Oregon, and which the boundaries of the Indian reservation now called the Warm Springs Reservation were fixed, is hereby declared to be that p.rtof the line run and surveyed by T. B. Hand ley, in the year loll, from the inital point up to and including the twenty sixth mile thereof; thence in a due west course to the summit of the Cas cade mountains, as. found by the com missionfrs, Mark A. Fullerton, Wil liam H. H. Dufur and James F. Payne, in the report to the secretary of the in terior of date June 8. 1891. in pursuance f an appointment for such purpose un der a provision of the Indian apt r p i i tion act approved August 19, 1890." Returned From Hawaii. Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Wilson, who for several yoars past have been residing at Hilo. Hawaii, returned last Satur day to The Dalles, and will most likely again become permanent residents of Wasco county. Mr. Wilson 6tates that Hawaii has some attractions in the way'of climate and opportunities fur making money, but as a place of resi dence it is not altogether desirable. Society there is very much mixpil, Japanese and natives predominating among the general populace, while the business interests are in the hands of Americans and English. The form of government, Mr. Wilson says, is not stable, and he anticipates that an other revolution is liable to occur at any time. As to annexation, Mr. Wil son thinks it would be folly on the part of the United States to take charge of -the Sandwich Islands, as the pop ulace is an unstable class of people, in capable of self government, and not suited to become citizens of a republi can form of government. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson left Hilo last October, and have been in San Francisco since their arrival in the United States. If Mrs. Wilson's health will permit they will remain here, if not they will re turn to the islands. Consumption Can be Cored By the use of ShiloVs Cure.

Beginning classes will be organized in Union' street, Academy Park, and East Hill Primary school on Tuesday, January 21st. Children who are six years of age on or before April 30, 1896, may ester these beginning classes and should enter the school most con venient to their home. Parents and guardians are requested to start all beginners for the spring term on the day for organization of classes, as starting at such time is best for the child and more satisfactory to the teachers. For a few years past it has been customary to organize the begin ners' classes on the first Monday in March. However, it is thought that the first week of the new term will be a more suitable time to receive begin ners, and new classes will not be or ganized in March of this year. - Owing to the large enrollment in the first grade departments, only those entitled to enter can be received, and it will be useless for those under the above stated - age to report at the schools, expecting to enter.

Aggregate Wealth of United States Sur pages That of Any Country on the ' CSIotie. There is nothing in the history of the nations of the earth to compare with the development of the Udited States during the last 100 ye irs. At the present time the aggregate wealth of this country surpasses that oT any country on the globe. According to t le cei.B is of 18!)0 the entire wealth of the United States was computed as fol lows: Property of all kinds owned by individuals. $03,037,001,000 Value of public lauds, buildings, etc 1,29!.000.000 Total $6.3:i6.000.000 The values of individual property holdlngd were divided as follows: Land : .$l;l.27!.(H)0,O00 Cattle.; 1 i veHtook et-5. 2.703,000,000 Railroads, including 1 equipments etc.. 8.(586.000.000 Houses, ete. 21,010,000,000 Factories, including ma- t chinery.etc. . 3.0."9.CO(1.000 Sundries 16,300.000.000 Total $63,037,000,000 Basing bis computation on the in crease of wealth in the United St.iU 9 during the period between ISO unj 1890, .Mulhall, the fimmt E ilisb sta tistician, estimates that the daily ac cumulation is $7,00.),0JJ in round numbers. According to this calcula tion, during the last fivj years the actu.il wealth of this country has in creased as follows: Value of all properties, . individual and pub- li 1890 Increase fur 1825 days at at $7,000,000 per day.. $66,336,000,000 , 12,775.000.000 Total apparent wealth at the present time.. $79,111,000,000 Great Britain's owner ship in the United States 4 2,000,000 030 The table is printed In the Now York Morning Advertisers to show bow great is the wealth of the Union. It is a flat contradiction of the absurd statement in some pro-English news paper, that "Great Britain owns a third of the Uuited States' and it em phasis the fact that this country is not bankrupt. To make clear what' Eng land's ownership amounts to, it may be s lid to be about the same as the in divi lual worth $r0.03J who owes only $20JJ! Portland is overrun with thugs and tough characters, and all manner of rolibei ies are committed. , Ladies are held up on the back streets and forced to empty their purees, and a few evenings since masked robbers stopped a street car and relieved the passen gers of lbei valubles.

New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Portland jobbers evidently have confidence in the stability of The Dalles, since every day representatives of wholesale houses in those cities ar rive here and industriously solicit or ders from our merchants. Col. C. L. Carr, special agent of the interior department, arrived from the east last night. After spending the forenoon with the officers of the land office here, he left on the afternoon trai i for Oregon City. His mission on the coast is to inspect dep edations on government timber. The new king post for the Uegnlator was taken out of tue D. P. & A. N. Co's warehouse this morning and haul.d to Hunyry Harbor to be put in place in the boat. It is a fine piece of Oregon fir. KixlO incites, and 56 f et long. When put in position it will materially add to the stivngt.i of tno boat. When the 'rain pulled out from here this afternoon it had on board as jolly lot of passengers as ever left the city. There was a party of some 3J reside its of the city on board going to Snipes lake a fev miles below town on a skating exiursion. They will put in the hours gliding over the smooth and beautiful ice until midnight, re turning home oa the east-bojnd overland. It is reported that an extra session of the legislature, for the purpose of reducing some state expenses, is among the possibilities. It is to be hoped, however, th ;t Governor Lord does not su-iously contemplate re-asseml li ig I the unwell. ling conglomeration of law makers ayain. The bur lens they in flicted up n the p iopla last winter are s ilflcient to convince anybody that it would be unsafe to juive them auothtr show at the state treasury. NOTICE' FOR PUBLICATION.
