TBS TOOT BI.OCB- An Ornament to tha City and a Model of Beauty. Just four months ago the Vogt block was a mass of ruins, and today it stands out as a model of modern archi tecture and beauty, a monument to tbe memory of its owner and an ornament to the city. The work of rlslDg the ruins has been under the immediate supervision of Hugh Glenn, - while the brick work and plastering was conducted by Kocher & "Freeman, the expert contractors and builders of Portland. That these gentlemen are first-class workmen in their line is evidenced by the quality of the work they have done on this building, which Is pronounced A 1, by all who are judges of such work. - The-building is 100x150. and on tbe ground floor are six handsome store rooms, well lighted and airy through out. The second floor is reached by two broad Stairways landing on Second street and-one landing at the bqutheast corner 6a Federal street. - On the second floor are two large society halls, leased by the K.' of P.' lodge, besides twenty-eight large, well lighted office rooms all of which are immediately con nected with the main halls that extend through tbe length and breadth of the building: The wood work on the up per floor ia of Oregon cedar and fin ished in hard oil and varnish, pre senting a cheery and attractive ap pearance. The building' throughout has all the latest appliance for steam heating, and will be lighted with elec tricity. As said before, the building is a model of beauty, and tbe workman ship reflects credit upon Kocher & Freeman who did both tbe outride cement work and the in3lde plastering. Only a few finishing touched are re quired to prepare It for occupancy, and all that is lacking to.add to the outside appearance is a cement walk in front aud on the east side, which we under stand Mr. Vogt contemplates building.

Fruit culture is destined to in the near future become one of the lending industries of Wasco County, the cli mate and soil being well adapted to the production of all fruits suited to this latitude. Realizing this fact, County Clerk Kelsay has gone into the business on an extensive scale, and has growing on his farm, three miles below The Dalles, au orchard of 7,400 traes, principally winter apples, which are now two years old. and are all in. fine growing condition. Tues3ay the editor of the XiMES-MotrxTAlXBEE accompanied Mr. Kelsay to the farm and was shown over the orchard. The trees are healthy and are making "a splendid growth this year, showing tbe soil to be well suited to fruit. In ad dition to tree culture, Mr. Kelsay is gardening on an extensive sale. He had three acres of peas, which bave already been picked and marketed. Also eight acres of string beans, two aci-63 of tomatoes and some twenty acres of potatoes. Tbe beans are al most ready to pick, and it is expected that the eight acres will yield from 84 to 30 tons. These will be shipped to Montana, Colorado and Minnesota cs soon a3 they are ready for' market. Mr. Kelsay certainly has a model fruit farm, one which in a few years will add much to the wealth of thsTJOunty. Fifty Cents on The Dollar. Today Sheriff Driver returned from Portland, where he had been for a number of days endeavoring to -perfect arrangements with McCoy's backers to raise money with which to pay the men who have been employed on the Wapinitia ditch. Mr. Driver suc ceeded in getting enough to settle one- half the men's claims, and on his ar rival began drawicg checks, paying them 50 ceuts on the dollar of tbe amount due them. This the men ore accepting ra'hef reluctantly, but they consider that "kiilf a loaf" is better than nothing, and even this pittance ia of considerable importance since it represents tbe result of two months of hard toil, and to some ie about all of their' possessions. It is indeed a shame that McCoy should thus defraud his laborers, and pay them off in one-half the price agreed upon, since they performed honest work and were entitled to full pay, but as it appears that he has nothing in sight for the mea to attach, it is about the best tbey can do. A Calf With Ttro Mouths. There is a calf at M osier, the prop erty of Mrs. J. H. Mosier, that racks as oue of the leading freaks of nature. The calf is perfectly formed in all pans except that it has two mouths. The upper part of the head is natural, with onflmouth where it should ordinarlly be, and underneath this is a growth about six inches long and four inches in diameter, at the extremity of which is a well-developed mouth, with teeth, a well formed lower jaw and tongue. The calf takes its nourishment through the upped mouth, but being prevented by the extra appendage from eating grass or any other solid food, is gradually starving. It is about three months old, and so long as milk fur nished sufficient nourishment it con tinued to thrive, but now,' that it re quires something more' substantial, it is losing flesh and will soon die from starvation Why Jobson Is Lame. - " - Passengers on the Dalles City have noticed the past few days that the gal lant captain was not so spry as is cus tomary, in fact he has been seriously lame, scarcely able to climb into tbe pilot house, and has to all appearance been suffering from some great per sonal injury. Captain Johnson has been very ' reticent concerning his malady, but a warm friend gained bis confidence, and learned that he is suffering from a badly disabled leg, the result of rescuing a handsome young lady bicycle rider from instant death on Fourth street in Portland a few days since. Just how the captain performed tbe feat, or what the danger to which the fair one was subjected was not explained, but suffice to say, he was the hero of the occasion, and Is now suffering untold agony for his gallantry. Our Servile Submission 'o the 'Boss." We have been assured that there would be tyrants in America, but we turn and bow, B.eryiiely, to the political boss, allow him to take political affairs in his own banus and tg rule while we serve. He begins with the primaries and ends with the state legislature or with congress. We call him "tyrant" and boss," tell him he is corrupt, that we will cot endure his om,lo-;er-ing iongerthen full 5nv line at the next election and vote the straight ticket for him or some other boss, and forge the chains of tyrany closer. Sometimes, indeed we revolt and firm a new party and say we - will break j down this domineering spirit; then we vote for those we suppose to be heroes of our reform measures; alas! we find tha j .the. chameleon but, has only changed his -color and we have new boss in placo'cf the old! Forum. THAI- AWl't'l TKLEPBOXE. It Caused Our Go-lnl Artist Cntold An P0 CO 70 00 t" 4" nojance. "Tho telephone is a wonderful in vent" Ding-a-Iing-a-ling. Mr. tferrin, tho genial photographer, rushed to the buzzing instrument, hi heart beating, vociferously in anticipa tion of a large- order ''for face imita lions." 'Halloo, is this Mr. Herrin ?" "You are right" vent skimming back over the wire, In a tone that in dicated an Increased business confi dence. Good bye," coldiy snapped the cruel Instrument, and with a look of a defeated politician, the artist reluc tanuy returned to tho retouching ot negatives, fjluneing periodically at the apparently harmless pnone, as though pleading for an explanation. Ding-:i-iing The harmony of ibe email bell Is m:iile to reM.ciricio a Salvation Army jubilee; boxes and negatived fall to the door, Mr. Hen-la still hoped for that order. A hundred furious 'ding-a-lings," a hundred cint-tering Voices, simultane ously calliiigfor tliesilll good-nutured photographer, and he soloquised on his popuhii'Uy r.tu'1 iucreased business Did any ouo ever see Mr. Herrin verilv iu a perplexed mood, and slightly out "of 'hutnoi-? He can get that way. Camerai1, lenses, negatives, toning apparatus, and in fact all the costly phumphenalia that completes a photographer's- outfit were forcibly piled iu a heap oa the floor, aud tbe artist, with white lips and glaerlng eyes, and a promiscuous ua of languid e (better Unspoken ia the presence of ladies) was vioiently kick ing, at the "ivoaderful invention of tbe nineteenth century ICow, it is all right to get ruffled, but when oue has an audience, it is humil iating. Mr. Herrin had an audience, and this audience declares that if it were not for the avoirdupois on the eud of his pedal extremity, the still ringing 'phone would have found companion with the heap on the floor. But both instruments, hi3 foot and telephone, were blessed. Had he struck the instrument, he would have ruined the leather; covering, on his foot. It Acu'.d now be unsheltered, as factories have ceased the manufacture of the size, owing to the extirpation of fhe mammoth. Mr. Herrin promises to leavo jokhig alone. No wonder. Ho had arranged for about fifty to call up JUr. precisely at 4 P. M., but the joke was turned (good jokes usually are) and at that hour every telephone In town wanted, to say "halloo" to the artist. They said "halloo," and Mr. Herrin says the telephone is a "won derful invention but a treacherous josher," and he ought to know. Ob, mamma, but wasn't I scared?" Eh, D. C. THE GAME LAW.

TEAGEDy IJf IDAHO. Killed a mother and Her Child and Then Shot Himself. General Roadmaster Bollons, of the O. R. & N. Co., received partial par ticulars yesterday morning bv ieW: graph of a terrible double' murder and suicide which occurred near Wallace, Idaho, about 4 o'clock Tuesday morn ing, says the Pendleton Tribune. The murderer, who is supposed to be one of the section men recently discharged from the employ of the O. E. & N. Co., is said to have entered the sleeping car occupied by tta. Section crews on the Burke branch, which was at the time at Bock Springs. It is surmised that he then deliberately shot Mrs Qancy, who boards tbe section men, nud then killed the 'i-f-mpnths old child who was sleeping peacefully la bed in the car. The man was found dead from a pistol shot ; which bad entered at the temple. the COMMENCEMENT EXEKCISE9. Successful Tear's educational Work a Closed at St. Mary's Academy. The school year of 1895 of the con vent in this city closed with very ap propriate and pleasing exercises yes tarday afternoon. The class rooms of tr.e first floor had been thrown into a reception hall, and the stage was elegantly decorated with roses and uottod plants from Mr9. C. J. Stubliflg's !reea houe. The stage presented a moat cheery appearance, and was a happy reflection of the bri-fht faco3 of those who appeared thereon bidding adieu to labors for the year. Every feature cf the following program was carried out with that decree of perfec tion and percision that is always notioabie in-Sister's schools, and was heartily appreciated by the large audieme in attendance.

Possibly the most interesting- feature of the exercises, outside conferring the graduating honors upon Miss Ada 3mith and Archbishop Gross' address, which was replete with thought and wholesome counsel, was the rendering cf the dialogue, "A Wonderful Inven. tion," by the senior class.

Captain Fisk Unable to Tell When the Locks Y5111 be Opened. Senator Smith, .of Gilliam county, returned .last night from Portland. While in that city he conferred with Capt. Fisk, chief of the engineer's corps in charge of the' works at Cas cade. Locks, with reference to when work is likely to be resumed and when the canal would probably-be opened. He ".earned from Capt. Fisk that nego- tlons were being made with D.iy Bros, for performing the work, but no agree ment' had been reached; also that the engineer's department . had not as yet determined whether the locks would be operated when the walls be tween the lo-:k and lower guard gate, were concreted, or whether they would be kept closed until solid masonry walls were built. Incase the former Is determined -upon; the canal can be operated this fall, but if masonry walls are to be built first, tbe date of open ing is Indefinite. This is rather, discouraging to Mr. Smith, who Is one of the. prime movers iu the organization of the Colum bia Portage & Navigation Com pany, which 'was incorporated for the purpose of building a portage road a,'0UDd ths Colil and dalie9 fal18 Without the locks In operation the portage road would be of little value, hence when work will be commenced on tbe road deponds upon what Is done at the Cascades. However the incor porators will continue selling stock, and will hold a stockholders' meeting on J uiy oi lor tne purpose ct per Meeting organization, bo that tbeywill be In readiness to begin construction as soon as it is definitely known-wben the locks will bo ready to operate.

A Corref pondeht Telia How an Innocent Cat Disturbed Oue of Oar Popular Barber. Inere wse a great commotion at Parkin's harbor shop the other day. lhey had heard a cat howling and screeohing around tbe shop for two or tnree days, but they could not find her. New, if there is any one thing that will mak9 Parkins more nervous than another, it is the screeching of a cat "Oh, Mamma wasn't he scared." He had made several ineffectual at tempts to locate the cat, but the other day guided by the noise, he finally located it in tbe tin waterspout at the south of the shop. He thinks the cat must have been' ekylarkiug upon the roof some dark night, and accidentally tumbled Into the spout. Parkins tried to Uiake her down by hammering on the spout with a stick: but the more he pounded the louder sho yelled, and the two noises attracted the attention of the neighbors a ad aroused the police. Then, he procured a clothes prop; and ascending to the roof, endeavored to push the acimal out, but the stick was not long enough to reach her. All it was good for was to make her l6wl louder; and It did that to perfection At last Parkins decined to take the spout down and coas tbe cat out. When he got it on the ground, he peeped in at tho end, and could s;je the animal's eyes shining like bills of fire, far bac into the darkness of tho hole. "Oh, mamma, but wasn't he scared." After shaking her up for awhile, without inducing her to move, he made uo bis mind that sho must be jammed in the pipe and unable to budge. He wanted to cut tho pipe open, but Mr. Kem, tbe genial ex press agent, said it would be a pity to spoil such a good spout for a mere cat. So Parkins determined to blow her out with gun powder. He procured a small charge and pushing It pretty well in with a stick, he "tamped" the end of tbe spout with clay and lighted the fuse. Two minutes later there was an explosion, and the tamping clay flew out ano struck Mr. Kertz with some violence in the ribs, curling blm all up on the ground by the fence. When he recovered his breath he got. up and said: 'Hang your infernal cat! It's an outrage for you to be endangering' the. lives of people with your diabolical schemes for getting at a beast that ought to have been killed long a?o Then Kurtz sullenly got over the fence and went home, and the cat, meanwhile, kept up a yowling that made everybody's hair stand on end Parkins thought he made a mistake in not placing too butt of the spout against something solid: and so after putting in a couple of pounds of powder, he turned the spout up and rested the end upon th6 ground,' propping it against the Bhop. Then be lighted tbe fuse and the. crowd scattered. There was a loud explosion, a general distribution of fragments of tin around the yard, and out from the upper end of the spout there sailed something black.. When it came down it was the cat, singed off, burned to a crisp, looking as if it bad been spending tbe summer in Vesuvious, but apparently still active and hearty; for as soon as it lighted it sit up a wild, unearthly screech, and darted off for the wood shed, where it continued to bowl until Parkins went in and killed it with his razor. It cost him $10 for a new spour, but he says he doesn't grudge the money now .that be has stopped that fiendish noise. "Oh mamma wasn't I scared." Dr. Da mil Well Known. Mb. Editor: Having noticed the arrival of Dr. Darrln at the Umatilla House, I wish to state to the public what he did for my father, (now resld: lag in Boyd, Oregon,) seven years ago. For months he had been sorely aiHicted with a terrible pain in the ear and heauV, causing restlessness, .deaf ness and insomania. He was nearly crazy with pain, and all remedies seemed to fall to cure. He was induced to go to Dr. Darrin, then in Portland. In a few weeks be came home a cured man, all by tbe effects ot electricity as administered by Dr. Darrln. I am in business at 110 Second 'street, this city, and will gladly answer any ques tions.
