Silver Dollars Ara Legal Tender for All
Debt Except Thole Made Fajsblo
in Gold Coin. ;
In 1873 congress, reforming the coin
age laws, dropped the dollar from the
list of silver coins and provided that
the silver coins of the United States
shall be a legal tender at their nomi
nal value for any amount not exceed
ing $5 in any one payment.
On the 28th of February, 1878, con
gress directed "that there shall be
coined at the several mints of the
United States, silver dollars of the
weight of 412 1 2 grains Troy of stand
ard silver, as provided in the act of
January 18, 1837, on which shall be
the devices' and superscriptions pro
vided by said act; which coins together
with all silver dollars heretofore coined
by the United States, of like weight
and fineness, shall be a legal tender at
their nominal value for all debts and
dues, public and private, except where
otherwise expressly stipulated in the
contract.
On the 9th of June, 1879, congress I
provided that the present silver coins
of the United States of smaller donouu-
inations than $1 . shall hereafter be a
legal tender- in all sums not ex
ceeding $10 in full payment of ill dues,
public and private. :
These citations from the laws make
certain two things: Silver dollars are
an unlimited legal vender for all debts,
unless the contract expressly calls for
payment In gold; half dollars, quarter
dollars and ten cent pieces are a legal
tender for all debts in any amount not
over $10, no matter what the contract
calls for.

M. A. Moody, of Pasadena, Cal.,
who has been visiting his cousin, ex-
GovertiOr Moody, in this city, left this
morning for Salem. Mr. Mooay was
favorably impressed with the enter
prise and thrift exhibited in The Dalles,
and says it is the most go-ahead place
he has seen in Oregon. ;
The stock yards presented a busy ap
pearance yesterday and today. Yes
terday 20 car loads of cattle, sold by
M. Sichel & Co , of Prineviile, to Mr.
Mellic, were shipped to Montana, and
today a like number have been loaded,
part from Yakima and part from the
Sicbel drove, which numbered 2000
head in all.
J. D. Mallen, of Colorado, has been
one of the heaviest buyers of Eastern
Oregon cattle this season. He recently
bought 3000 head in Crook county. He
has shipped 2000 bead from Ontario,
and next Sunday will ship 1000 head
from The Dalles. These cattle were
bought from Howard & Stearns, and J.
W. Pelton; some of the heaviest cattle
raisers of Crook county.
Yesterday afternoon John Schultz
was given a . preliminary examination
before Justice Filloon, on a charge of
having broken into and robbed the

next grand jury: Not being able to
furnish the required biil, he was re
manded to the custody of the sheriff.
Last night some prowler entered R.
B. Hood's room over Pease & Mays'
store and carried away a portion of
Mr. Hood's under garments. . Evi
dently the prowler was scared away by
the falling of a window, or he would
have secured more booty, as there was
a valuable watch in Mr. Hood's vest
which was lying on a table in his room,
Mr. Hood says the individual will re
ceive his blessing if he will return the
garment that was stolen.

him Instantly.. ,
Mr. and Mrs. Shell and Miss Shell,
of New York, , spent yesterday in the
city, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. S.
Myers, and left on the Regulator this
morning for Portland. 'They have
made a tour of the northwest during the
summer, having crossed the continent
by the Canadian Pacific, visited Alaska
and the principal points in Washing

and from Portland will go to ban

U. P. and C. P. roads.
It is often said that "you can't keep
a good man down.". - This, saying is
true, and was never more fully dem
onstrated, Xhan in the case of our for
mer fellow townsman Ben Snipes, the
veteran stock raiser and capitalist cf
the Inland Empire. In the depression
of the past few years Mr. Snipss has
lost thousands of dollars; he has seen
a fortune vanish aa snow before a hot
wind, but he has not been discouraged.
He is rustling again with the vigor of
a man of 21,- and the prospects are
favorable that he will again make a
bushel ' of . money. Mr. Snipes has
again turned his attention to the
cattle business, and is today shipping
a large number of cattle from Yakima
to Montana for cattle kings of that
state.

Seufert Bros. Want S160.000 for a Right-
of-way Tnrousn Their Property.
In the suit now pending la Judge
Bellinger's court wherein the govern
ment seeks to condemn a right-of-way
through Seufert Bros, property near
this city, for a ship railway, the
defendants place their damages at
$130,000. The proposed road will
pass through their property a distance
of five miles, and will cover 83 acres
of their land, besides passing through
one of their canneries, and will cut all
their fisheries off from the railroad.
. Wednesday a U. S. jury in charge
of Deputy Marshal Humphrey went
over the ground, making a thorough
examination of the fisheries, and will I e
able to intelligently assess the damages
to which the defendants are entitled.
The jury was accompanied by Govern

How the Braves at Cmatllla Observed
Independence Day. .
The Umatilla Indians bedecked and
painted themselves, and gave a parade
of their own upon the reservation on
the Fourth of July. Chief Poe led the
procession, georgeous w'tt'a colors and
gay in spirit, followed by Chief Young,
whose feathered head-dress trailed far
behind, says the Pendleton Tribune.
Another chief in turq, and then came
Joseph, the leading warrior, of the
reservation -"bostoifthe warpath," as
Paul Showaway put it. Perhaps 150
Indians filed behind, each splendidly
ascoutered with all the apparent trap-,
pings of war. They rode three times
around the big circle, just within the in
closure, staked out by a white curve of
canvas tepees,and each time faster than
the last. A Qink movement brought all
in line before an arbor specially erected
for dancing, with the four, chiefs in
and I. X. Day Propose to Establish

Col. J. G. Day and son, I. N. Day,
contemplate putting on a line of steel
steamers to operate between The
Dalles and Portland, and also to be
operated in connection with the boat
railway wheu it is completed, says the
Oregoman. The purpose is to place
on the Columbia river a fleet of steel
built steamers especially designed for
swift water navigation, and also to be
operated in connection with the pro
posed boat rail way, between The Dalles
and Deschutes river.
Colonel J. G. Day, the head of the
enterprise, will leave for the Eist in a
few days, to visit the various shipyards,
He will order the construction of Bteel
hulls for two steamers especially de
signed for Columbia river traffic,' the
plates and ribs to bo made of the high
est, graae oi steel, so as to secure
strength and lightness. Each vessel
will be provided with screw propellers,
ana twin auxiliaries, the latter spe
cially designed, with telescopic shields
so that they can be readily operated in
case of extreme necessity.
The purpose of the new company
will be to engage not only in local
traffic, but also in other industries,
along the middle Columbia section,
when business justifies additional in
vestment. The construction of the
new boats will be novel in character
and in some respects experimental.
Col. Day has given the matter great
consideration, and he is quite sanguine
of the complete success of the several
novelties he proposes to introduce in
the new methods of river navigation.
Regarding the opening of the locks at
the Cascades, Col. . Day said to an
Oregonian reporter:
While no official notification has
been received regarding the avail
ability of the recent appropriation by. J
congress, I am satisfied that every
thing is in a fiir way to allow the
locks to be opened for navigation

or until after the money question has
been settled, and Its holders can know
whether we are to have a gold or sil
ver basis.
What will eventuallv be done with
reference to the $15,030 of unauthor
ized debt;, is not yet known, as it can I
belegalized only by a vote of the peo
ple, but sinoe the debt was created to
pay necessary expenses of the oounty,
there is little question but It will be
validated, since no neople -cau afford j
to see their public obligations re
pudiated. Very little of the unauthor
ized warrants are held in The Dalles
hence there will be no heavy loses
here in case the debt is not legalizd.

A.S EMINENT SILVER CONVERT.
President Andrews Comes Oat for Inde
pendent Free Coinage.
A special dispatch to the Salt Lake,
Tribune under date of Boston, June
27, says: In a letter made public to
night, President Andrews, of Brown
university, who has heretofore opposed
the free coinage of silver, except-by
international agreement, declares
that he now has no argument against
free coinage by- the United States
without such agreement. He says:
"The vast new output of gold in
recent years, as compared with that of
silver, impresses me with the view that
free coinage is safe and certainly de
sirable."
(President Andrews wasa member
of tbe last international monetary con
ference and is one of the foremost
writers upon finance and economies
in the world. His change of front at
this time is significant and im
portant.) GOODBYE
In retiring from the office of county
school superintendent at the end of a
six years' tenure, simple gratitude im
pels me to say a few words to tbe
public.
I am thankful to the party which
honored me with the nomination three
successive times. I am thankful to
the -voters who, without respect to
party, so generously gave me their
support. I am thankful to the teach
ers who have so universally aided me
in all efforts for the betterment of the
public school. I am thankfnl to the
many friends who so heartily gave me
their help and encouragement even
overlooking failures during the many
hard trials in the administration of the
office. And I am thankful to tbe press
of the oouuty, which has always aided,
gratuitously, the cause of education.
Above all I am thankful to God who
rules over all, and. without, whose help
and strength no measure of success
could have been attained.

Does Not Own the Bridge.
The report was published a few days
since in tbe Condon globe, and re
published Tuesday In The Dalles
Chronicle,' that M. A. Moody, of this
city, was owner of the old .Leonard
Bridge across John Day, which went
down on Wednesday of last week,
killing, six. horses . and-injuring the
driver. The report . so . far . as .Mr.
Moody is concerned is entirely incor
rtct. He does not and never did own
tbe bridge,' nor does he keep bridge'
property which he owns in an unsafe
condition. He and his father, ex
Governor Moody, own tbe Miller
bridge across Deschutes, and that
structure, Since they have become pos
sessor of it, has been rebuilt and is
kept in thorough repair. The Leonard
bridge has for a number of years past
been owned by W. .Lilr Hill and.
William Grant, and unless some trans
fer has been made recently, is
their property.

A GKNEBAI. SB CEP WAR.
Flocks Will Sot be Permitted to Baofe In
Portions of Grant County. .
The news comes from Grant county
that the sheep war, as it Is called, is
taking on an alarming nature, and if
sheepmen overstep tbe quarantine
limits as prescribed there will be blood
shed.
fiancners heretofore nave not re
sented when tbey thought sheep were
herded too near, but from all appear
ances they will do lt this year whether
they are legally right or wrong.
Early this sgring the people of Fox
valley decided' that sheep could not
longer be promiscuously herded In
their valley and thus notified all to
that effect aud as a result of their de
termination two different bands were
shot into over there la9tweek and
many sheep killed and, wounded, Fri
day night a band of sheep belonging to.
Sebarff Bros, was shot into, resulting
In eight being killed outright, and
about a dozen wounded. Saturday
night a similar attack was made on 4
band belonging to Johnny Nealan
This time about fifteen sheep were
killed outright and about 00 wounded
and will die. -The herder, one of Geo.
Crelgnton's boys, was in bed asleep
when the shooting occurred. ' A ball
Struck his dog by tbe bedside, and the
canine was killed.
There are reports of trouble pend
ing in various sections of Grant county,
but to date nothing serious ba hap
pened. Cattlemen od ranchers in
various, part of the county are closely
guarding their range and many are
determined to save gome of the grass
on government lands even if unlawful
means have to be adopted to hold it.
The condition at the present time is
serious in many parts pf the county
and will yet result in somebody being
killed. ' . .
SVlCKllAT COPNTJU BONDS.
A Loan lias Been Negotiated Covering alt
Authorized Uonds.
Since the decision of the Washing.
ton supreme court validating tb
greater portion, of Klickitat county's
debt, negotiations .have been consum
mated between tbe county eourt and
a New YorU syndicate for taking
$70,000 of the county's bonds, and a
Spokane bank, representing a Con
necticut syndicate, has taken 925,000,
making the present bonded debt of the
county 195,000. The Donds draw 6 per
cent, and were virtually sold at par.
Besides this bonded Indebtedness tbe
county has a floating debt of about
115,000, which is considered a question
able or .unauthorized debt, since it was
issued in ercess. to the A per cent limit
provided for in the state constitution.
A considerable amount of Klickitat
county warrants was hold by capital
