tons for this city, besides considerable
freight for way points.
'' We hear it rumored that the D. P.

in freight rates between The Dalles

on its capital stock.

A rather amusing incident occurred
la the circuit court this morning when
Judge Bradshaw overruled the motion
for a new trial in the case of the state
vs. Bradley and Shear. Bradley rose
and stated that he had not had
a, fair show, and he , streniously ob
jected to the affidavit of District At
torney Jayne beingconsidored.; "That
man," he said, "is working for his fee
and would see an innocent man
punished. His affidavit isn't worth
anything." However, Judge Bradshaw
took a different view of the matter,
considering Mr. Jayne's integrity
above question, and overruled the
motion.
Few people know that all plants con
tain digestive principles. They can
not absorb their food until it is di
gested any more than animals can.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
learned the art of extracting and uti
lizing these digestive principles, and
it is for this reason that their Shaker
Digestive Cordial is meeting with such
phenomenal success in the treatment
of dyspepsia. The Shaker Digestive
Cordial not only contains foo4 already
digested, out it aiso contains digestive
principles which aid the digestion of
other foods that may beeaten with it.
A single 10 cent sample bottle will be
sufficient to demonstrate its value, and
we suggest that evsry suffering dyspep
tic make a trial of it. Any druggist
can supply it. '

A NSW KLDORADO.
iolc!eii'..!ale All Excited Over a Recent
Gold Strike.
Tf rumors are correct, Goldendale
bids fair to become the Denver of the
! Northwest. Rumor has it that a rich
golj-bearing quartz ledge has been dis
covered ivkhin four miles of that city
which apparently ha3 no limit. The
ledge is said to have been traeed a dis
tance of four miles, and recent assays
from the rook show $50 to the ton in
gold.
The way the story goes, the ledge
was discovered last fall, and showed to
be only an inch wide on the surface,
but by sinking a shaft 40 feet deep
both walls of the ledge have been lost,
and it is believed to be at least 100 feet
wide. Such a body of ore, if it is as
rich as reported, would be one of the
greatest over discovered, and would re.
suit in Goldendale becoming one of
mammoth mining camps in the world
It is stated that there is much ex
citement throughout all of Klickitat

placer-claims are being located every
where, eveo raaching within the limits

there are plenty of men there now.
The man who runs away from tho

come to grief.
Air. Knight's Lecture..
Last night when Rev. J. H. Wood,
in a few appropriate remarks, Intro.
duced Rev. P. S. Knight, the speaker
was greeted with a hearty applause
from a large audience that had as.
sembled to listen to that gifted gentle
men, expecting to listen to many gems
of original thought, and their expects,
tions were fully realized. A3 a prelude
to his remarks, Mr. Knight stated that
he was under the necessity of offering
an apology in advance, owing to a case
of mistaken identity that had occurred
in a Portlund hotel, just prior to his
leaving that city. He had in hi3 "grip"
a carefully prepared paper on the sub
ject "The Practical Idealist," which
he had contemplated reading to hi
audience here, but the hotel clerk had
failed to identify his "grip" and had
given him another similar in appear
ance, but the mistake was not dis
covered until Mr. Knight arrived here,
nence, witn nis prepared lecture a
hundred miles away, he was compelled
to handle his subject extemporane
ously. This 'he did in an able and
pleasant manner.
Mr. Knight's belief is that there i3
more of the ideal than the real in this
world; in fact, that with the majority
life is idealistic: that things are not
what they seem, and that the real will
not De iuny Known until we navp
we shall -'know as we are known,"
where the idealistic veil will be re
moved, and we shall see all things as
they really are. In substantiation of
this belief the speaker, depicted many
circumstances of imagination aud de
ception that enter into the life of the
Fendletou's Woolen 31111.
Work on the woolen mill buildings
in Pendleton is advancing rapidly and
will be completed before the remainder
of the machinery arrives, which will
be about the middle of. next month,
says the Tribune. The pickers' room
has been finished and the machinery
put in. Back of this room will be
erected a structure 60 feet square, in
which will be the dyeing and drying
rooms. Work on this building has
not yet begun, owing to the delay in
the arrival of the necessary material.
The south half of the warehouse has
been transformed into a mill building.
The second story has . been double
floored, and the rear part will be occu
pied as a cardroom. The twisters will
be in the front. The weaving and fin
ishing rooms will be in the first story.
The machinery for these departments
is now being madeat the factories, and
will arrive in Pendleton about the
middle of March. The interior of the
building will be given a coat of asbes
tos paint, which, with other precau
tions, such as the bricking of parti
tions, will make it fireproof to a cer
tain extent.
Anythlne to Open the Kiver
The Arlington Record is not parti
cular what methods are adopted to re
move the obstructions to navigation
between The Dal es and Celilo, but it
thinks a boat-rail w ay or portage road
is preferable to canal and locks. It
says:
"A canal and locks at Celiio might
be and would be preferable to a boat-
railway or portuge but the consumma.
tion of the plans in that direction, now
appear too remote for us to trifle away
time and newspaper space with them
1 ne very best that could be offered at
Celilo in a canal would be six miles in
lengtn. as a good many or us may
not live to exceed two or three hun
dred years, we would much rather
have a portage now than even a ship
canal after the twentieth century. A
Doat-raiiway so rar as we can see ap
pears perfectly plausible and would
bo'much quicker completed than a
canal. As it would be tho. property of
the government the cost of operating
would not fall as a burden upon any
of the localities that hope to reap so
much benefit by it. Even in case the
boat-railway is not with in our reach a
portage ought to be secured without
delay. Thus the upper country would
be enabled to reach a market at rates
much lower than any attained so far.

later from the same localities, states
that "it is already beyond control."
It is therefore necessary to prevent the
scattering of seeds the first season if
the locality is to be kept free from this
weed. It was brought to. the Indian
reservation in Umatilla county in
some millet seed from North Dakota.

Improvements Abandoned.
Work on the improvement of Snake
riyer, between Huntington and the
Seven Devils country, was suspended
last fall, and the only steamboat on
that stretch of river has since been
brought down through the great
canyon of the Snake and can never be
taken back. Any idea of further im
provement of that section of the river
has been abandoned, as Captain Fisk,
U. S. engineer, has ordered a sale of
all the plant the government has there.
The lot comprises two dredges, one
can opener, three skiffs, one grater,
three scows, one pair of tongs, 859 feet
of rope, one elbow of stovepipe, 67 feet
of hose, two pie plates, 27 oars, three
mirrors, one chair, one clock, six tin
cups and a lot of miscellaneous plunder.
Most of this plunder seems to be such
as would be required in prosecuting
the work of improving a river, but
what need Uncle Sam's engineers have
had for the three mirrors, the can open
er and tin cups, none but an expert
government official could tell.
Montana Sbeep Quarantine.
Governor Richard3, of Montana, has
issued a proclamation prohibiting the
importation of sheep into Montana from
Oregon, Nevada, California Washing
ton, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, Utah,
and the territories of Oklahoma and
New Mexico. He has been informed
that scabby and diseased sheep are be
ing imported into his state from those
states, and to provide against home
contamination a ninety-day quarantine
has been declared. The proclamation
does not prohibit- transportation
through the state .by rail. So far as
Oregon is concerned, it is thought
that Governor Richards has been mis
informed. Some time ago, scab was
prevalent in several counties, but by
orders of the several stock inspectors
the sheep were dipped, and no disease
has been reported since. .

an experienced steamboat man, and
bis opinion of such matters is certainly
worthy of consideration.
The Vogt ruins are proving a perfect
mine. Marshal Blakeney's 8100 green

morning and during, the forenoon

Death of A. K. Dcfur.
Alpha K. Dufur died at bis home in
Dufur, Wednesday Feb. 19. aged about
49 years, after an illness of three weeks
with paralysis.
Mr. Dufur was born in Chicago, and
when a small boy went with his parents
to Wlsoonsin. where he grew to man
hood, residing in Iola until 1877, when
he came to Oregon, engaging in stock
raising in this county until 18S5. That
year he built the Dufur Flouring Mills,
and continued to operate them until
the time of his death. .
Mr. Dufur was an enterprising and
successful business man, and to his en
terprise the town of Dufur owes much,
he being loyal to his town, and ever
ready to aid in Its advancement. In
his death Wasco county loses one of
its most substantial citizens, one who
was universally respected by the en
tire community.
, He leaves a widow and one daughter,
besides a large number of relatives
and warm friends to mourn bis demise.
The remains will be taken to Iola,
Wisconsin, bis former home, for in
terment, - "
Heed the Warning.
The following is from the Spokane
Chronicle: "Twenty-four dead men
lying on slabs in the morgue at Crip
ple Creek, victims of hunger, exposure,
pneumonia and suicide eighteen of
them buried unidentified.'" - An at
tractive picture isn't it calculated to
make one want to join the army of
men who are rushing with the distant
idea of making a fortune somehow,
some way, out of nothing. Gripple
Creek Is all right so doubt, and will
that we have no change of . seed for a
hundred years than that new seed
bring us a pest like this to fight. ,
Married In Portland;.", . ;
Wednesday the marriage of Mr. Rob
ert Mays, of this city, and Miss Madge
Sommerville, of .Portland, .was

bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John

Burglary at ta Grande. .
The grocery store of Orpiond Bros.
was brotten into oy a burglar some
time Wednesday night. The thief
managed, to get into the store building
through a window in the back part of
the house. He broke oft .the cash
drawer and loaded himself down with
about a dollar's worth of pennies... This
was the only loss sustained as far as
kuown although some small articles of
merchandise may have been stolen. It
has been some time previous to the
latest .exploit since La Grande has
experienced a genuine burglary, al
though about a year or so ago the
business of house-breaking became
almost an epidemic. Chronicle. .
A Shaving Machine. ,
Shaving a man in twenty-five sec
onds is a feat deserving of praise by all
such as value their time. The feat has
been rendered easy of performance "by
the construction of a shaving machine
of. wood, reported to have been. made
by Melchoir Farkas, a" convict in the
penitentiary of the city of'Szegedin,
in Hungary. .. Farkas was put to labor
in; the cabinet making shop of the priS'
on, and, taking to his work with a
will, he soon displayed great Inventive
Ingenuity. With . his machine he is
said to have shaved all the inmates of
the prison", nearly 150 In number, with
in less than an hour's time. The re
port fails to state, however, to what
extent the shaving by .machinery did
or did, not succeed . in giving comfort
to the sufferer in the chair.
It is a well established fact that the
American people are swindled and
humbugged more than any other
people on earth, and It is not for want
of intelligence or shrewdness, but
simply because they do - not stop to
think. For instance, a lady goes to
her grocer, who, rather than miss
making a sale, offers her inferior goods
instead of the kind she asks for. He
boldly asserts '"it's just as good," when
if be told the customer the truth he
would say, "I know Hoe Cake Soap,
Soap Foam Washing Powder, and Red
Seal Lye are pure goods and full
weight, and for that reason cost more,
but I sell the poorer qualities because
there is more profit to be made." Hoe
Cake Soap contains ingredients not
found in any other soap. Try it.
Two Hundred Stories High.
Two New York City architects,
Harding & Gooch, bave drawn plans
for the most remarkable building on
earth, and It is asserted that it is soon
to be built in that city. ' It will .be 200
stories in height and will have a floor
space of 24,000,000 square feet. It will
occupy one large city block and fifty
electric elevators will carry passengers
and freight up and down through,. At.
There will be 100,000separate offices
and suites, accommodating 400,000 peo
ple. A magnificent roof garden, en
closed In glass in the winter, will sur
mount the massive building.

City Marshal Blakeney Is as happy
today as if he had met a long lost
friend, and in fact he has, not a human
friend, but a 3100 greenback he had
lost one day last August, and which he
had given up as gone. J. M. Munson,
one of the men employed in cleaning
out the Vogt block, found the bill
among the debris this morning and
returned it to the owner." The bill,
though it had been exposed to the
elements over six months, was not
materially damaged. Mr. Blakeney
lost it one windy day last August while
hurrying down the street to make an
arrest, and tne wind had carried it
into tbe ruins where it had lain ever
since.
