' Wrong doers will sooner or later learn
that Dalles City officials are not to be
trifled with. Last night a man named
Crate concluded that he could defy the

calculated, and as a result went to jail

For some time past the democrats of
Crook county have been using their
best endeavors to persuade a prominent
sheep-raiser to become a candidate for
county commissioner but he emphat
ically refused until last Wednesday
morning, when the voting population
of the county was increased by the ad
dition of two young democrats to his ,
household. He could not refuse longer,
says the Prineville Review, and there
suit will be that Crook county will
have a most efficient commissioner af
ter the first Monday in July, when
Mr. Van Houton will take the oath of
office.

PREPARING FOB THIS SALMON.
Local Cannerymen Getting Ready to Han
dle a Large Catch.
Seufert Bros., who for a number of
years past have been engaged in catch
ing and shipping salmon, are making
more extended preparations than ever
before to handle this season's catch.
They will' have their cannery, three
miles above The Dalles, in thorough
running order by the time the spring
run begins. The cannery will have
a capacity for putting up 1,000 cases a
day, and in addition to this they are
putting in a cold storage plant of suffi
cient capacity to handle all the fish
that may be caught, or for which there
may be a demand for eastern shipment.
It is their purpose to freeze the fish
and ship them direct to all eastern
points. The cold-storage will be used
for 'handling fish until the close season,
and during the winter months they
will . use it for preparing meats for
shipment. -
Mr. Herrick is also making prepar
ations to have his cannery in working
order so soon as the salmon run begins.
Already he has received several thou
sand cans, and will be in readiness to
give the royal chinook a warm re
ception whenever the state laws will
admit of . his being taken out of the
water. While the indications are
not the most favorable for a large run
of fish this season, there not being
very great amount of snow in tne
mountains at the headwaters of the
Columbia and its tributaries, fisher
men anticipate the waters will be high
enough to justify them in expecting
fair season, and cannerymen will be
prepared to convert into a marketable
commodity all that may be caught.
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
Yesterday's School Election Hotly Con,
tested In Many Plaeesl "
In every city in the state where the
school election yesterday was a con
test between the A. P. A. and anti-A,
P. As. it was hotly contested. The
A. P. As. won in Salem and Eugene
and were defeated in Portland and
Astoria. In Eugene they carried the
day by 130, and in Salem by 69. Port
land went against the organization by
a majority of 622, and in Astoria the
majority was large. Never before in
the history of Oregon has so much in
terest been shown in school elections.
The strife was strongest however in
Portland, where the only material
question at issue was for and. against
the American Protective Association
both the candidates for director, Prof.'
Warren and Mr. Finley,' being con
sidered highly qualified for the posi
tion. .
Hungry For Information.
The land office at this place of late
has received many inquiries concern
ing government land, from prospec
tive settlers, but since that office is not
a bureau of information, and the gov
ernment has thus far neglected to fur
nish a clerk simply to answer corres
pondents, the register and receiver
have not found It possible to accom
modate the would-be settlers with all
the information they desire. Most of
those making inquiry about the lands
of Oregon are not economical in the
requests thev make, asking most un
reasonable things of the office. Below
is a sample of the many letters of in
quiry that have been received lately,
The ltter is given verbatim.
. "Schuyler, Neb., March 3, '96,
Dear Sir:
I thought that I would drop you A
fue linns to find pot About the Govern
ment land and is it A good quality and
good farming land and please send A

timber land that A pearson can get A
hold of andwhat is the priwse for to

Visited Cub.
Albert Tozier, Secretary of the Ore
gon Press Association, passed" through
The Dalles last? week on his way' home
to Portland from attendance at the
National Editoral Association in Flor
ida. .After the association adjourned
Mr. Tozier spent several weeks in visit
ing various points of interest in the
south, among other trips was one to
the island of Cuba, whose people are
now -in a state of rebellion against
Spain. He said that the existing con
ditions there at the time of his visit
resembled the great railroad strike, in
this country the spring of 1894, more
than it did an actual warfare. Al
though Mr. Tozier visited a large por
tion of the country he found no place
that, in his opinion, was ahead of Ore

Three Tears With no Assessment.
The record of the A. O. TJ. W. is un.
equalled. ; Organized in 1868, the first
deathoccured In 1871, three years with
out an assessments- During those three
years the members did not pay one
cent into the beneficiary fund, and the
only expense to the me;
local lodge dues.
The plan of the A. O. U. W. is
plicity itself. The members are only
assessed when a death occures and the
members are not burdened with as
sessment to create a sinking or contin
gent fund. The A. O. U. W. is the
father of all Fraternal Beneficial Soci
eties. It is comprised of over thirty
Grand jurisdictions having a total
membership of over 330,000. Oregon
alone has over 7,000 members, and is
strong enough to stand alone as a diS'
tmct organization and is paying its
own death losses dollar for dollar.
Three years without a single
death. An unequalled record.

This morning a commercial traveler
from Cleveland, Ohio, was passing
down Second street when his attention
was called to some fine salmon trout
that were exhibited in front of The
Dalles Commission Co.'s establish
ment. They were something new to
the gentleman from Ohio, in fact, he
said they were the finest fish he had
ever seen, nothing to compare with
them ever having fallen under his ob
servation in his native state. He at
once bought four of the speckled
beauties and had them shipped to his
home at . Cleveland. They no doubt
will be a rare treat, to his friends in
that city, but here, while they are con
sidered a delicacy, they are so common
as to attract no particular attention.

The president has pardoned Nathan
Blum, convicted in Oregon of smug
gling opium and conspiracy, but whose
sentence was suspended, , and F. . M.
Salisbury, convicted in Oregon of mis
using penalty envelopes, and fined
$300.-
Nat Blum is the notorius informer
whose testimony. .was .mainly instru
mental in securing- the conviction of
Messrs. Dunbar, Lotan and others in
the Chinese smuggling and opium
cases.
Salisbury is the Umatilla county
postmaster who used penalty envelopes
on what he thought was official busi
ness. There was no intent to commit
a crime, and Salisbury was only tech
nically guilty.

Awaiting; Results.
Considerable concern is manifest for
the welfare of unbelievers in certain
parts of Lane county. It is feared that
an awful calamity awaits them next
Sunday. ' This is caused by the follow
ing notice that was posted on a church
door in that county one day last week:
"There will be preaching in this
house next Sunday, providence per
mitting, and there will be preaching,
whether or no, on the Sunday follow
ing upon the subject: He that bc
lieveth and is baptised shall be saved
and he that believeth not shall be
damned at hall past three in the after
noon." - Core For Headache.
As a remedy for all forms of head
ache Electric Bitters has proved to be
the very best. It effects a permanent
cure and the most dreadful habitual
sick headaches yield to its influence,
we urge ail wno are afflicted to pro
cure a bottle, and give this remedy
fair trial. In cases of habitual consti
pation Electric Bitters cures by giving
the needed tone to the bowels, and few
cases long resist the use of this medi
cine. Try it once. Fifty cents and $1

From now until April 1st, at which
time the Jacobsen Book & Music Co,
will have to vacate their present quar
ters in order that work may be com
menced on A. M. Williams & . Co.'s
new building, and as their new quarters
will not be ready for occupancy by that
time, they have concluded to throw
their entire stock on the market at
ruinously low prices during the month
of March. If you contemplate buying
a piano within the next five years now
is your chance.
No Relief Is Needed.
An Omaha dispatch' of the 7th in
stant says:
"Frequent reports are received from
the Eastern and Middle states that per
sons are soliciting aid for Nebraska
sufferers and making deplorable state
ments about '. existing destitution
These representations are untrue, and
solicitors are impdsters, almost with
out an exception, and are acting with
out the proper authority. The secre
tary of the state board of agriculture
has ' made exhaustive " inquiries
throughout the state and ascertained
that no relief is needed.' ."

LANDSLIDE.
rled in a Ravine on Port
land Heights.
rightful calamity, caused by
landslide, overtook the family of
Donald S. McDonald, a bridge car
penter, in the employ of the Southern
Pacific Company, early Sunday morn
ing, in a ravine of the Portland
Heights, and in the twinkling of an
eye, the home of the McDonalds was
swept out of cxistance, hardly a vestige
of the house remaining, while two of
the inmates were crushed to death
and the remaining members of the
family narrowly escaped with their
lives. Those Skilled were Daniel
Campbell, aged 42, and Isabell Me
Donald, aged 16.
The direct cause of the disaster was
a landslide. Hundreds of tons of earth
swept down a ravine and with irresist-
able force struck the dwelling, and.
hardly before one could realize what
had come to pass, an unsightly mass of
mud, rocks, brush and trees marked the
place wher but a minute previous was
the home of a happy family. The ruin
wrought presented an aw ful spectacle
made all the more horrible bv the fact
that somewhere in the mud-hidden
ruins were the bodies of two persons,
whose lives had been crushed out,
mere were willing hearts and eager
hands engaged in the work of recover
ing the buried bodies, but it was not
until five hours of hard, laborious work
that both remains had been found and
convened to the morgue.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.
Adams and Jacobsen Re-Elected by Large
Majorities.
More than usual interest was man
ifest in the school election held in this
district yesterday. The contest was
principally between the American Pro
tective Association and those who are
opposed to that or any other secret or
ganization gaining control of the pub
lic schools. The candidates put for
ward by the A. P. A. were J. E. Bar
nett for director and Geo. Krauss for
clerk, and the candidates of the oppo
sition were S. B. Adams for director
and E. Jacobsen for clerk. Aside from
this feature, Mr. Adams and Mr. Jacob
sen had served the district acceptably
in the past, and many felt that an at
tempt to remove them was intended to
cripple the efficiency of the schools of
the district, while there were others
who believed that they had served long
enough, and desired a change in the
district offices.
From the time the polls opened at
o'clock in the afternoon, until they
closed at 6, great activity was exerted
by the friends of both sides. Ladies
as well as gentlemen a "house-to-house"
canvass, urging those who
were seemingly not interested in the
result to go to the polls and exercise
their right of suffrage, and as a result
a very full vote was cast. When the
vote was canvassed, the result ' was
very satisfactory to the opposition of
the A. P. A. The vote was, Adams
248, Barnett 106, Jacobsen 198, Krauss
120. '
