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.

A Big On-hard.
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.

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

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

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

presence of ladies) was vioiently kick

tbe nineteenth century
ICow, it is all right to get ruffled, but
when oue has an audience, it is humil

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.

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.

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.

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.

AN AWflX COMMOTIO.
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. Tom McCoy,
