A PROSPEROUS INDUSTRY. "
The Pacific Distilling Company's Plant at
Chant. p
Tuesday a representative of the
Ttmes-Mountaineer visited the pros
perous village of Grants, situated on
the Columbia river, in Sherman coun
ty, 2.) miles east of The Dalles, and
was shown through the large plant of
the Pacific Distilling Company at that
place. The company's chief industry
is their distil ery. which is one of the
most complete on the coast, and is sup
plied with all the latest and most ap
proved appliances for producing alco
hol and high wines. At present the
distillery is run at less than oue-haif
its full capacity, producing-only 450
gallons per day. while its full capacity
is 1300 gallons. The product of the
distillery is of standard quality, and
finds a ready sale in San Francisco,
Portland, and eastern points, and is
fast becoming popular in the markets.
In addition to their distillery the
company has a large flouring mill and
stock feeding plant, and furnishes a
ready cash market for farm products of
the vicinity tributary to Grants. At
present they are feeding about 100
head of cattle and 1000 hogs. They
have 500 hogs in their fattening pens
and a like number in outside lots,
where they are kept in a healthy,
growing condition, and as those in the
pens are fattened and shipped; the
pens are filled up from the lots, and
thus the company turns out on an
average about 600 bead of fat bogs
every 60 days, the time which is re
quired to fatten and prepare a hog for
market.
The plant of the Pacific Distilling
Co. is very complete, and altogether is
an industry that is steadily growing.
The industry is one which is of vast
importance both to Sherman and
Klickitat counties, since it furnishes a
market for the products of the farms
of those counties.

Goldendale Has Had s Tarried Experience
With Saloons.
Probably no city on the coast has
had a more varied experience in en
deavoring to control the liquor traffic
tban has the county seat of Klickitat
county. For many years after the city
was incorporated all retail liquor traf
fic was supposed to be prohibited, that
is no license for the sale of liquor was
issued, but nevertheless there was
more or less liquor sold, at least people
who wanted intoxicants could find
places where their wants were sup
plied, and it was a notorious fact, that,
although Goldendale was a prohibition
town,- there was a considerable amount
of liquor traffic carried on within the
corporate limits. The city authorities
undertook to regulate the fatflo as
best they could, but like all other
places that have honestly attempted to
prevent the sale of liquor, it was found
to be a most difficult and knotty prop
osition. Sometimes there has been a high
license law, and ' sometimes a low-license
law in vogue. Sometimes there
have been saloons in Goldendale and
sometimes there have been none, but
all the time liqnor was to be bad and it
was often drunk to excess. Last year
the retail license was fixed at $600 a
year, and in consequence bhere was no
saloon, but intoxicating beverages
were sold, wtule the ety derived no
benefit. This has led the present
council of that city to endeayor to reg
ulate the traffic by revising the liquor
ordinances. An ordinance has been
prepared, and was expected to become
a law last night fixing the annual li
cense for one saloon a; $250 a year, and
granting license to drugstores, to pell
liquors in quantities of eight ounces,
the same not to be drank on the prem
ises of the store, for which priviledge
the druggist must pay $150 a year. .
If this ordinance has become a law
Goldendale will have for a time at
least settled the liquor question and
will have one saloon, that is to be
placed under the strictest seryilance.
According fo the provisions of' the or
dinance no tables or chairs are to be
allowed in the bouse, neither can any
game of chance, either for money or
amusement, be played in or about the
place. .

Farmers Jubilant,
The fine shower of rain that fell last
night causes farmers all over Wasco
county to feel that an abundant yield
of grain is almost assured. Grain wa.
in a fair growing condition and the
ground was pretty tb,qro,ugnly' moist,
but the recent pain which was vnrj
warm, added sufficient moisture that
even without any more the growing
grain will have attained sufficient
height to shade the ground before any
extreme warm weather will occur, thus
insuring good crops. With such pros
pects for an abundant yield, and the
certainty that fair, prices will pre
vail when the "crop is ' harvested, far
mers ban look forward to a prosperous
season, and since ' they are the ones
who produce the wealth of the country,
better (imes in every line, of business
may well be expected during the com

Not Satisfied With Interest on Appropria

More than 200 Indians assembled at
the Umatilla agency yesterday morn
ing and held a wild and exciting coun
cil upon the question of the appropria
tion of $14,000 which was provided for
by the government. The law which
provided for the appropriation alsq
provided that they were to receive
only iqterest upon the same every
two years; and furthermore, stipulates
that the money must be used in the
improvement of their lands. Number-t
ing as they do. so ne 1100, the amount-
per capita, allowed by law every two
years is too trifling to be of any practi

desirous of being paid the principal.

Squirrel Bounty In Force.
Something oyer (U.IKH) squirrel tails
were reoeived Wednesday by the
Spokane board of county commis

c turning was not completed up to 6
o'clock, says the Spokesman-Review.
rhli makes nearly 100,000 tails brought
in this spring under the 1-cent bounty
provision.
The board is so well satisfied with
the operation q( this arrangement that
it has decided to continue the bounty
in force until the end of this month.
It has been demonstrated that the
small squirrels, with short tails, are
more numerous and' destructive, but
are more quickly destroyed with poison.
The large ones seem to have greater
vitality and more of them get into
their burrows after partaking of the
medicine. - The only difference is that
they cheat the farmers, oit of the
bounty, but, the, strychnine is believed
to accomplish the. work, just tbe same.
The Council of His Church Finds Hia
Ch&racter Spotless.
Several weeks ago this paper pub
lished an article from the Oregon ian
concerning the Rev. L Grey, at that
time pastor of the'TjUtheran church in
Oregon City, but now located hetv, in
charge of the recently organized con
gregation of that denomination. In
justice to Mr. Gray the following
Oregon City dispatch to the Oregonian
is reproduced:
Oregon City, April 18. The pub
lished condemnation of the Rev. L.
Grey by President Mollinauer, of the
Washington district of the Ohio synod
of the Evangelical Lutheran church,
led to an Investigation by the council
of Mr. Grey's church in this city, the
government of which is essentially
congregational, 'and the council's find
ings are quite interesting. President
Mollinauer's published warning con
tained no direct charges, but intimated
that- a partial investigation of
Mr. Gray had been- frustrated by the
withdrawal of Mr. Grey and his con
gregation from the synod, and the di- j
reuii statement was maue mat the pas
tor was a man of "unreliable charac
ter." The report of the council goes
somewhat into the history of the mat
ter. It particularly gives the names
of persons and dates, and alleges that
the evil reports concerning Mr. Grey
were the result of a conspiracy, in
which so many ministers of the de
nomination in the Washifgton dis
trict were implicated that it was
necessary for this church to sever its
relations with the synod in order to
avoid becoming "a partner in the con
spiracy against the absolutely innocent
Rev. L. Grey. This was the result of
a church trial here in January. The
local congregation and the pastor tried
to get the accusers to submit charges,
but this was refused them. However
whatsoever of the charges that could
be picked up from rumors were con
sidered by the council and they are
pronounced to be grottbdless. The
council declares its unqualified faith in
Mr. Grey and says that his character
has been "very wrongfully slandered"
by Mr. Mollinauer.
At the request of Mr. Grey, the
ministerial association of this city of
fered to examine any charges which
might be preferred against him by the
authorities of the Washington district,
but such authorities declined to submit
any charges for such action.
This week Mr. Grey left here for his
new pastorate in The Dalles, but he
will return here to preach onoe a
month.

The council of the Lutheran church

statements redacting upon the char

quested the publication of -the follow
ing testimonial, which speaks for itself:

To Rev, L. Grey,

In view of your departure from our

your relation to the Ministerial As

instructed by the body to tender you
this testimonial oi our brotherly es
teem, and good wUhes f jr your future
success in the Master's work. At your
request we have made as strict aa ex
amination as we, were able into the
charges recently published in thesecu
lar press affecting your ministerial
standing and personal character, but
as those making said charges positively
denliqe to furnish us with qy evidence
whatsoever in support of them,- and as
the official records submitted to us by
the churches served by you in this
vicinity and particularly by the one in
this city vindicate you in the most un
equivocal manner, we find HQ ground
on which to. question your standing io
the slightest degree.' We therefore
bid you larewell with this expression

Isaac Ruddock, of Ruddock station.
He is charged with haying held up and

$600. Since the robbery occurred it
has been common parlance tbat John
son had only to Uwk into a mirror to
see the man who committed the crime.
This, however, was laughed at by
those best able to know. Johnson has
been active in assisting the officers
with the above result. Ruddock had
never been looked upon as other than
of the best character. Two years ago
he was a candidate before the demo
cratic convention of Umatilla county
for the office Of county treasurer, but
was defeated in the convention. Rud
dock tallies exactly with the descrip
tion given at the time of the robbery
by Pootmaste," Johnson. He is tall

Drift at Low Water.
' A curious spectacle waj observed in
the Willamette Sunday afternoon,
says the Corvallis Times. With the
river only eight feet above low xater
a huge mass of drift suddenly came
down the rxver. There were logs,
trees and small drift, and for a period
of about lo minutes the surface of
the water was completely filled with
the debris. It finally, after arousing
much curiosity, passed on down the
river. Where it came from, is not
known, but it is supposed that some
drift, loosened by the late high water,
had finally broken away, and that this
accounted for the phenomenon.
