A WEB OF EVIDENCE.
Officers Weaving; One About Isaac Rud
dock, the Alleged Robber.
The officers of the law are slowly
weaving about Isaac Ruddock a web
of criminating evidence and as point
after point comes out it becomes more
and more likely that he robbed the
Pendleton postoffice. At least, so say
the people concerned, and they give it
out that the government has little
short of a "cinch" on Ruddock.
Among other Interesting facts bearing
on the affair is the allegation made in
an indefinite way that the very day on
whieh the Pendleton postoffice was
robbed and Postmaster Johnson strug
gled with his highwayman robber,
Ruddock was under the charge of be
iog short in his accounts with his
school district at his home in the moun
tains and that his arrest was about de
cided on. This,' so say some, estab
lished a motive on Riiddock's part for
obtaining money with which to cover
the shortage. It is also said Ruddock
is perfectly familiar with the workings
of a postoffice and' would know just
where to make a postoffice attache look
to ferret out all the funds on hand, as
Postmaster Johnson said his robber
caller made him do when he held up
the office. Postmaster Johnson had a
fearful struggle with the robber and
found him & powerful man and able Jp
handle himself likea practiced athlete.
At the time, Mr. Johnson thought
he recognized the robber's voice and
now is certain it was Ruddock's.
When the robber was standing over
the postmaster with a loaded pistol in
hend, he asked Mr. Johnson if he knw
who was before him Fortunately for
Mr. Johnston, he replied no, else he
might now be Buffering from a severe
attack of death, as the. robber no doubt
would have shot him had he supposed
himself recognized. Any further
points are not to be obtained today,
but the trial at Portland will bring out
some intensely interesting testimony.

A Portland Judge Says It Is Contrary to
the Salary Law.
An important decision was made by
Judge Shattuck, of the circuit court at
Portland, that, in conformity with the
decision of the supreme court in the suit
of the Northern Counties Investment
Company vs. Sheriff Sears, according
to the act of 1893 sheriffs are not en
titled to collect any fees, and have not
been so authorized sinte July 2, 1894,
when the salary law went into effect.
The sheriffs were supposed to collect
fees under the salary law, as before,
under the act of 1S92, and pay them
into the county treasury. Judge Shat
tuck held yesterday that according to
the language of the supreme ' court in
the Northern Investment Company
suit, the act of 1892 placing sheriffs
under a salary system had abolished
fees entirely. The case before Judge
Shattuck was one of E. McLean vs.
Sheriff Sears, to recover fees paid
amounting to about $20. ' McLean has
been buying up the receipts of attor
neys for fees paid to the sheriff prior to
the rendering of the decision of the
supreme court in the Northern Count
ies Investment Company suit. Mc
Lean brought the $20 action as a test
case, and has since sued Sheriff Sears
for fees collected by him in 270 mits,
The fees in these 2T0 suits amount to
$1,099.85.
If the decision of the supreme court
is intended to cover all of the fees
which Sheriff Sears has collected dur
ing his present term of office, either
the sheriff or the county, to whom he
has paid them, will have eventually to
return all this money to the litigants,
attorneys or their assignees, as the
case' may be, if legal steps are taken to
compeLtheir return. This applies also
to all of the
the state.

Death of Samuel M. ftrtter.
Mr. Samuel M. Driver died at the
home of his son, Henry Driver, in
Wamic at 5 o'clock Friday after
noon, aged 82 years, after an illness of
two weeks with pneumonia, surrounded
by all of his children,' except one son,
Edward, who resides in Malheur
county.
Mr. Driver was one of those sturdy
pioneers who braved the dangers of
crossing the "plains" at an early day,
having come to Oregon in 1352 and
settled in Douglas county, where he
reared a family of eight sons and two
daughters, six of whom are respected
citizens of this county.
Thirty years ago Mr.- Driver's wife
died, and since then he has made his
home with some of his sons, and has
resided in Wasco county the past
fifteen years. Twenty-eight years ago
he lost his sight, and since then has
been totally blind, but during all that
time he has retained his mental facul
ties, which were unusually bright
and he has kept fully apace with current
events, being fully conversant with all
events of the present. Mr. Driver
leaves one brother, the Rev. I. D.
Driver of Eugene, and seven sons, his
sister, both his daughters and one son
having passed to the beyond before
him. '
. The funeral was conducted at the
residence of Henry Driver in Wamic
Sunday, and by request of the family
the funeral address was delivered at
the grave by Mr. Hugh Gourlay.
appropriation is intended to secure the
building of another loi'k."
The people here are curious to know
just what this additional appropriation
means, whether it is a second adjunct
of the fake perpetrated last March,
pretending to set aside 820.000 worth
of nothing to construct the walls be
tween the middle lock, or whether it
is really what it setms to be, an appro
priation forcontinuingthe work. The
statement that it-is intended to "secure
the building of another lock," looks a
little suspicious, aDd if it means what
it says, we trust the appropriation will
not be made, for if it U, babes that are
yet unborn will not '-live to seethe
canal and locks opened. We cannot
afford to have any new projects started
to delay matters. It will require a
long enough time to finish those al
ready begun.
THE BLIND ORATOR.
Mr. St. Lawrence Addressed a Large Aud
ience ia Tills City.
Saturday evening the circuit court
room of the court house was comfort
ably filled with a nfixed audience of
ladies and gentlemen to list-en to Hon.
J. H. St. Lawrence, the bhnd orator
of the populist party, discuss p'olitli-al
issues as viewed form a populistic
standpoint. Mr. St. Lawrence was in
troduced by Judge Story, of this city,
who in his remarks endorsed some of
the populistic ideas as enunciated in
the Omaha platform, among them
being free silver and the theory of ini.
tiative and referendum.
Mr. St. Lawrence entertained his
audience for a short time by singing a
couple of songs, then entered into a
discussion lasting two hours, of the
evils which he believes threaten the
government, aud puorsjesting remedies
therefor. The speaker took the posi
tion that the people of America are
abject slaves to the money power, the
result of the demonitization of silver
in 1873, and as a remedy he proposes
the reinonitizitioa of silver and the
submission of all direct legislation to
the people for ratification. He did not
believe either of the old parties could
ever be freed from the influence of the
money power, and that the only sure
means of emancipating the people from
their bondage was through a new
p:irty, and that party was the populist.
While not a convincing speaker, Mr,
St. Lawrence succeeds in holding the
atteut'on of his hearers, and eutertain
ing thejn, though it is not ikely"he
will make converts to the cause he' es
pouses. For a Free Koad.
J. W. Strange, of Juniper Flat,
Wasco county, was in town during the
week getting signatures for a new
county road from some point on Trout
creek, thence north across the Des
chutes' above Shearer's bridge and
then in the most practicable manner to
The Dalles. " It is claimed that the
proposed route will be 15 miles shorter
than thp present road. The intention
is to make it a free road and bridge.
This is a move which the people of
this county ought to indorse. Prine
ville Review.
It is a move which The Dalles should
also endorse with substantial financial
aid, for the prestige which this place
now holds as the distributing point
for a productive county, to the south
can only be retained by affording the
producers of that seotion with good
and free roads over which to convey
their products. Eugene and Albany
are bidding for the trade of Central
Eastern Oregon, and will be successful
In diverting much of it accross the
Cascade mountains if they can offer
the inducement of free roads. People
will not pay toll In order to reach a
market if they can get to it over free
roads.
The Wauilc School.
The first month of the spring term of
the public school at Wamic closed Fri
day, and appropriate oratorical ex
ercises were rendered in the presence
of some twenty-Eve visitors. During
the month the school "has been most
satisfactory, there having been an en
rollment of 84 pupils and a daily at
tendance of about 67. Under the ex
cellent supervision of Prof. H. G Lake
as principal, and Miss Bertie Wtitaker
as assistant, the school at Wamio is
advancing to that high standard of
perfection that places it second to none
in the county. Literary exercises are
conducted every Friday afternoon, the
school having been divided, into two
divisions, one of which renders a pro
gramme each alternate Friday, to
which the teachers extend a cordial
invitation to all patrons and friends of
education.
The Dalles Public Schools.
If there is any one thing in which
The Dalles takes greater pride than
another, it is the efficiency of its pub
lic schools, which are recognized to be
inferior to those of no other city in
the state except it be Portland. And
that this efficiency shall prevail, it is
evident from the increase in daily
attendance, that additional school
room must be supplied in the near
future. A comparison of the average
daily attendance for the four weeks
ending April 17, during the past four
years, which is as follows, is self-evi
dent proof of this condition :
1896, average daily attendance 571

age daily attendance for the present
year was 47, as compared with a de
crease of 78 for the same period last
year. The present' buildings furnish
rooms for only fifteen teachers, and
the ?71 in attendance give an average
of 38 to each teacher, which is all they
can well control, hence if the attend
ance increases the coming year as it
has in the past, additional school build
ings, are an absolute necessity.
What Does It Meant
The following dispatch, dated Wash
ington, April 24, appeared in today's
Oregonian: . .
VHenator McBride has securei a
provision appropriating $50,000 for
continuing-the work at tie Cascades,
$20,000 of which shall be used for ex
tending the wills of thS look, :. so that
it mar be opened, for commerce. The
The Ideal Panacea.
James L, . Francis, Alderman
Chicago, says: "I regard Dr. King's
New Discovery as an idejjl panacea for
coughs, colds and lung complaints,
having used it in my family for the
last five years, to the exclusion of
physician's prescriptions or other-pre-parations.'
Rev. John Burgus, Keokuk,. Iowa,
writes: "I have been a minister of the
Methodist Episcopal church for fifty
years or more, and have never found
anything so beneficial, or that gave
rae such speedy relief as Dr. King's
New Discovery." Try this Ideal
Cough Remedy now. Trial bottles

Why That 620.OOO Was Mot Forthcoming
to Open the Locks.
Below are a few extracts from a let
ter which Senator Mitchell is sending
to his constituents, explaining why
the $20,000 carried in the resolution
which passed both housss, was not
available for the completion of the
walls between the first and second
locks at the Cascades:
"About the middle of March the at
tention of the Oregon delegation was
called to the fact that something must
be done by congress immediately to
facilitate the early opeuing of the
canal and locks at the cascades. I im
mediately consulted with the chief cf
engineers for the purpose of ascertain
ing precisely what was necessary to be
done by congress, if anything to insure
their early opening. I was advised
that there were between forty and Cfty
thousand dollars balance appropriated
unexpended and was assured, as w is
the whole delegation, and if a sum not
exceeding twenty thousand dollars of
this amount could be made available
immediately in constructing on the
land and river sides of the canal be
tween the upper lock gate masonry,
such portions of the walls proposed by
the modified project presented by the
board of engineers, as may be neces
sary to construct in advance of the
opening of the canal to commerce,
that then all work necessary to the
opening of the locks could be com
pleted inside of a month and the canal
and locks opened. At this same time
one of the contractors, Mr. I. N. Day,
was in Washington, and in the pres
ence of the chief of engineers, after
hearing the engineers'statement, coin
cided in that view of the case. I then
asked the chief of engineers to prepare
a joint resolution covering the case
and my colleagues and I would get it
through the two houses if possible
and as soon as possible. The resolution
was prepared by the chief of engineers
and sent to me, which I introduced
and Senator McBride and I took hold
of the matter at once and promptly
passed it through the senate. The
resolution then went to the house
where some delay occurred in getting
it up, occasioned by the speaker of the
house postponing it for other matters.
It finally parsed the bouse some two
weeks after it passed the senate and
was signed by the presid. nt on the 6th
of April.
. "Scarcely had the resolution become
a law when we were advised that the
forty or fifty thousand dol ars unex
pended balance at the date the resolu
tion was presented to the senate had
been used up, leaving nothing for the
resolution to attach to. As the sun
dry civil bill, however, which has
passed the houee, contains an appro
priation of 8179,597, for continuing the
improvement at the cascades, I im
mediately went before the appropria
tion committee of the senate and had
incorporated in substance and effect as
an amendment to that bill the resolu
tion heretofore passed setting apart
$20,000 of this $179,597, for the purpose
of completing these walls, the com
pletion of which we were assured both
by the engineer department and the
contractors through Mr. I. N. Day,
would enable the locks to be opened
to commerce without delay."
wiucoaiPLKrE the locks.
A Prominent' Citizen of The Dalles Offers
to Perform the Work.
The people of the Inland Empire
have despaired of seeing the locks at
the Cascades opened for traffic this
year if the government is depended
upon to perform the work, and will be
pleased to learn that there is a prom
inent resident of this city who says he
is willing to enter into a contract
with the government to rip-rap those
walls that are condemned as being un
safe, and will open the locks for the
passage pf boats within oae month, if
the government will give him the use
of the canal for one season. He will
agree to put the canal and locks in per
fect working order, pass boats through
free of charge during the entire sea'
son, and assume the responsibility of
opperating' them free of charge, if al
lowed the use of the canal for a fish
trap during the salmon season. What
better offer can the government ask
than this? If the work is done by the
government it will cost no less than
$20,000, and now it can save that
amount by turning the job over to a
private citizen. And what better
proposition can the citizens of the
country ask, since they have aban
doned all hope of the government
doing anything . toward opening the
locks this year? It would be well for
the Dalles Commercial Club to inquire
into this offer, and have it submitted
to the war department.
