One of our Dalles young ladies, Miss
Neilsen, came near being drowned
while bathing at Gearhart Park a few
days since. She and a number of
other young ladies were holding on to
a line in the surf when the line gave
way, leaving them in dangerous water,
where they would have moBt likely
drowned had it not been for the timely
arrival of Rev. T. P. Boyd, of Port
land, who succeeded in getting the
girls out.
Two cases have been commenced in
the circuit court against Day Bros.,
contractors at Cascade Locks. One is
a case wherein the O. R. & N. Co. seeks
to recover a locomotive sold to Day
Bros, by the U. P. Co., for which the
O. R. & N. asks $2,000 on purchase
price and $2,400 damages. . The other
is the case of Mrs. Roseland Clark vs.
Day Bros, in which the plaintiff asks
judgement for $220 on account of wood
furnished them.
Controller Eckels has just ordered
the payment of a 5-per-cent interest
divided by the Linn County National
bank. The depositors have already
been paid their principal in full, and
will now receive 5 per cent in addition.
Besides this, should suits now pending
be in favor of the bank, from 1 to H
per cent be paid on interest. The
bank since it closed has been under
the management of Receiver Beall,
formerly cashier of the First National
bank of The Dalles.
This morning the remains of R. G.
Closter were laid to rest in Odd Fel

lead by the members of Odd Fellows
and Masonic lodges, and the funeral
was conducted in accordance with the
ritualistic services of the latter order.

ot Honor lodge was well attended last
night, and a very pleasant meeting
was enjoyed by the members. Steps
were taken at this meeting whereby

There came on the wings of the west
wind this morning a booming, rumb
ling sound, like the crash of heavy
artillery, aDd our immagination at
once pictured the big battle-ship Ore

Angeles. But a knowing friend, fresh
from Kansas promptly identified the
strange noise as thunder thanks.
Now that McKinley has written that
letter, wonder if he can't be -prevailed
upon to locate himself at some central,
easy-get-atable point in this northwest
just for a week or two. It don't seem
fair that the folks within a short dis
tance of Canton, Ills., should have a
monopoly of all those free excursions
organized and paid for by boss Hanna.
Down with monopolies, anyhow. Our
folks like picnics as well as the "tin
plate workers from Troy."
Mr. John Brookhouse returned home
last evening on the Regulator, having
been down to Astoria and the sea
coast in company with Mr. Skibbe and
wife. He reports a most enjoyable
trip, viewing the sights at the tourna
ment and regatta, but on his return
home stopped off at the Locks to in
vestigate the work being done on the
canal and locks in view of hastening
the completion, so that he might be
able to move his products at an early
date.
A pet magpie, that has strayed from
its home, created a great deal of mirth
in the vicinity of the Chapman block
yesterday. When the members of
Fern lodge,D. of H , gathered for their
regular meeting last night they were
much surprised to find the bird sitting
perched upon the frame of the charter.
To the superstitious this meant an
omen of dire calamity but to those
upon whom signs and omens weigh but
lightly, it was a doleful lonely bird
seeking shelter from the night winds.

The Academy spring, which now
furnishes water for all tThe Dalles
schools except the East Hill primary,
has been thoroughly cleaned out and
men are now employed putting a new
roof on the reservoir and boxing up
the sides tightly so that no impurities
can possibly enter in the future. The
reservoir holds about 750 barrels or
about 23,600 gallons of water. The
flow is so rapid that a two-inch pipe,
under a seven foot head, or 3i pounds
pressure at the start, cannot carry
away the water as fast as it comes into
the reservoir.

The case of Peter Staack vs. C. M.
Grimes in Justice Filloon's court was
settled today. The case was one
wherein Mr. Staack had replevined a
steer Mr. Grimes had bought from an
other party, and on a showing being
made that the steer was the property
of the plaintiff, Mr. Grimes readily
consented to giving it up.
One scarcely knows what to believe
with reference to the locks at Cas
cades since so many reports have been
afloat of late regarding the certainty
of their completion this year. A few
days ago it was generally understood
that the Day Bros, had been awarded
the contract for finishing the inner
walls, but a gentleman who inter
viewed them yesterday was informed
that such is not the case, that the con
tract has not yet been approved by the
department. However they are at
work getting out rock for the walls,
which would appear to indicate they
have assurance that that theywill.be
given the job.

and Con-
Lauer Italy Appointed
firmed.
There was a special meeting of the
common council held last evening
presided over by Mayor Menefee and
attended by all the councilmen.
The mayor, on convening the meet
ing, announced that the object for
which the council was convened was
to select a city marshal, and ptaced
the name of L. S. Davis before the
councilmen for their consideration.
The vote on confirmation stood four for
and five against.
The name of Jess W. Blakeney was
proposed by the mayor and his con
firmation was rejected by a vote of five
to three. The mayor then appointed
Chas. W. Lauer and the appointment
was confirmed by a vote of five to four.
The petition of J. E. Barnett and
others for the opening of a street on
the bluff was referred to the committee
on streets and public property, after
which the council adjourned.
Charles F. Lauer, the new marshal,
is an old resident of The Dalles, and
has served as a member of the common
council for more than three years,
having first been appointed to fill a
vacancy, and was afterward elected in
1893. He possesses every qualification
for an efficient marshal, and through
his long service in the council he has
become familiar with the requirements
of the city government, hence under
his supervision of the - office to which
he has been appointed, that branch of
the municipal government should be
well administered.

The attention oi sneep men is re

rational ' protection of the timber
thereon.
All persons are hereby warned not
to settle upon, occupy or use any of
these lands for agricultural prospect
ing, mining or other business purposes,
nor to cut, remove or use any of the
timber, grass or other natural product
thereof, except under such regulations
as may be hereafter prescribed. No
person shall start or kindle, or allow
to be started or kindled aDy fire in the
timber or grass or undergrowth of
these lands or commit any other waste
thereon, and the driving, feeding,

the cause of silver are being generally
discussed, while Major McKinley and
gold are scarcely mentioned. The
merchants and farmers of Missouri and
other Middle Western states he visited
are strong advocates of "sound money"
but they put a different interpretation
on the term than do some of tho news
paper writers of tho day. They hold
that silver is the soundest of "sound
moneys" while gold is tho money of
appreciation. Mr. Norman says the
universal opinion in sections . he has
visited is that Bryan will carry every
state west of tho Mississippi and all
those south of Pennsylvania, while
Indiana, Illinois' and New York are
believed to be going his way, and
possibly Ohio may give her vote to
him.

A Colorado Mine.
While Colorado is noted for its
mineral wealth it is generally looked
upon as a purely silver-producing
country, however there are many valu
able gold lodes in that state, promi
nent among which are the groups of
mines In the Cripple Creek district.
That district is almost wholly a gold
producing section and contains many
of the best gold prospects in the
nation. Among the many flattering
prospects in that district are the dif
ferent properties held by the Golden
Rod Mining Co., of which E. D. Jocelyn,
who is visiting in The Dalles, is a re
presentative. A blue print of the
company's holdings is exhibited in
this office, and ' should any of our
capitalists desire to invest- in the
stock of this company they are invited
to call and inspect the prospectus or
confer with Mr. Jocelyn.
Conductor Kelaay Injured.
Conductor W. H. Kelsay, who has
charge of local freight train No. 23 on
the O. R. & N., was injured at Meach
am Tuesday evening. The train was
about to pull out after switching and
in some way came to a full stop, it is
thought by the accidental setting of
the air brake. The slack when taken
up threw Mr. Kelsay bodily from the
caboose and he reached the ground a
considerable distance from the car.
When picked up he was badly bruised
and was taken back to La Grande
where be now is and will be until fully
recovered. '

A Country That Would Be Maee a Para
' diae by the Opening- of the Columbia.
There is no section of the Northwest
that is succeptible of more develop
ment or has a brighter future than
that lying north of the Columbia river
for 100 miles east of Celilo. But at
present it is comparatively shut off
from communication with the outside
world, through not having any railroad
facilities and being unable to use the
Columbia river as a thoroughfare over
which to transport its products to
market. In that section is. a vast
territory succeptible of a high state of
cultivation, with a rich soil, fine
climate and abundance of water for ir
rigation " purposes,' a' section well
suited to fruit culture: but without
means of transportation, there is no
incentive to induce holders of land to
develope the natural resources, since
they have no means of getting their
products to market.
The possibilities of that section seem
to be unlimited whenever transporta
tion facilities are offered. A railroad
to that section seems impracticable,
nor is it desirable, when cheaper
means are within reach. The natural
outlet for that country is the Columbia
river, whenever the obstructions to
navigation at Celilo are overcome.
Whenever this is accomplished the
section above referred to will become
one "of the greatest fruit and melon
producing sections of the Northwest,
for it has all the natural requirements
to make of It a perfect garden spot, but
at present there is no way of reaching
market, hence no incentive for produc
ing anything except to supply the local
demand. However, when the boat
railway is completed, if it ever is, those
who reside in that section will find a
market for their products, since they
will have access to the outside world.
With such sections to be opened up by
the opening of the river, the represen
tatives, both of Oregon and Washing
ton, should be stirred to active;
work. '
A' REMARKABLE INCIDENT.
A Child Falls From a Fast MoT log Train
and Escapes Unhurt.
The East Oregonian says that a
passenger on Sunday's train tells of a
remarkable incident that occurred
Saturday out on the plains east of
Oregon on the line of the Union Paci
fic. A lady was traveling on the train
with a three-year-old baby. She left
the child in the seat at an open window
and went to the end of the car to get a
drink of water. During the moment
ary absence of the mother, the baby
climbed into the window and before it
could be reached, fell out of the car,
the train running at full speed. There
was great excitement and the mother
was frantic. No one thought of the
bell cord, but several people went
racing up and down looking for the
conductor. By the time he was found
so much distance had been covered
since the accident happened that he
refused to stop the train.
With the mother, almost crazed at'
the thought of her baby being dashed
to pieces and its mangled body left on
the plains, the train proceeded to the
next station. From this point word
was telegraphed back ' to the train
which was following to look out for
baby.
. The mother waited at the station for
the arrival of the other train, and was
filled with unbounded joy, when the
conductor placed in her arnjs the little
loved one, not only alive, but unhurt.
b seems that in falling from the win
dow the child had fortunately fallen
clear of the track and landed in the
heavy grass and weeds beyond. It
crawled farther away from the rails, on
to a raised piece of ground, and there
cried itself to sleep over its uninten
tional desertion by mother and friends,
and was. still sweetly sleeping the sleep
of obildhood when found.
A Corresponden Believes it to be ont of
PI ice.
Ed. Times-Mountaineer:
It seems there has been a new de
parture in campaigning on the part of
the supposed "business men", in this
city.
Heretofore tho so-called "business
men" have contented themselves with
different systems of moral coercion ad
dressed to their employes, for the pur
pose either of persuading or compell
ing them to vote for McKinley.
Now it seems it is proposed to adopt
similar methods towards their custom
ers, and there is to be seen in the
windows and on the counters of some of
the so-called "business men" flaming
posters advertising the merits of Mc
Kinley and his cause, anddetracticg
from that of Mr. Bryan.
What would we think of the merch
ant who . would assail every man
woman and child who came into his
store with a political argument in
favor of his particular candidate? and
what better is it to flaunt a poster of
that kind in the face of every customer
who comes into his store? I have al
ways believed in separating business
from politics, and I have always
patronized a gold standard or re
publican merchant as readily as a free
silver or democratic one; but it seems
that these gold standard "business'
men are more anxious to elect Mc
Kinley than they are to do business, or
at least it is supposed that they do not
want the custom of men and women
who believe in free eilver and who
intend to vote for Mr. Bryan.
Men who fayor the cause of Mr.
Bryan believe the statements on these
flaming posters to bo entirely false,
and to have them thrust by a merchant
in their face evory time they go into
his store to buy a spool of thread or a
pound of sugar, seems very much like
an insult.
I do not Know how other silver men
feel, but to my mind the thrusting of
politics into the face of people who
come to a place to do business, is a
violation of every rule of good taste
and decency.
Of course these men have a legal
right to do this thing if they wish to,
lust as they would have a right to
placard their persons with McKinley
advertisements on Sunday morning
when they go to church, if they saw
fit. As far as I am concerned, I am
very sure that I shall never go in a
store, which thrusts politics in my
face, to buy goods, when I can obtain
them in one which is conducted in
better taste. Observer.
"Bryan, Bryan, Bryan.'

REPAIRING A SPECIALTY.
TOOT BLOCK,
THE DALLES, - - - OREGON
If we arc right in our reasoning, and
if, again, there is not some latent but
fatal defect in Herr Dowe's system, the
result on warfare will be a very re
markable one. Since the object of war
13 to kill "to place hors do combat" is
only a less crude way of putting the
fact new ways of killing infantry and
cavalry will have to be devised. The
chances of hitting men in the face at
long distances with rifle fire, says the
.London spectator, will not be good
enough. But the only ways of killing
effectively that will remain open will
be artillery fire, close combat with
boyonet and clubbed rifle preferably
the latter, as the cuirass will make the
bayonet difficult to use with effect
and riding men down by cavalry
charges. The first of these, artillery
fire, has hitherto been regarded as of
comparatively little importance in the
matter of killing.' It is of ten declared,
indeed, that the chief effect produced
Dy ine guns is tne moral effect. Though
not many are killed, men do not like
to be within range of artillery. Pos-
wbly, however, the effect of artillerv
nre couia oe increased. In any case,
and since everythinar is relative, the
fact of the falling off of efficiency in
rifle fire must increase the importance
of artillery fire.
It is obvious, however, that the chief
effect of bullet-proof soldiers on the
circumstances of a battle would be to
increase enormously the amount of
hand-to-hand fitrhiinir. But hand-to-
hand fighting means an advantage to
tne strongest ana most athletic force.
Now it will be seen from the bare enu
meration of the changes which seem
likely to follow bullet-proof soldiers
that a great advantage will be given to
England. Bullet-proof cuirasses will
give an advantage to the nation which
can only bring a small number of troops
into tne neia. uut that nation is Eng
land. It will increase the importance
of artillery. But this should be in
favor of England, for though we have
not the conscription, and so .cannot get
men in large quantities, we can manu
facture as many guns as we choose.
.Next, the revival of close combat
ought to be in our favor, for English
men are certainly better at the roiurb
and-tumble of close fighting than their
neignbors. The infantry are naturally
more handy and more athletic, and the
cavalry are, if not theoretically bet
ter riders, more capable horsemen. An
Englishman is more likely to get his
horse to do the impossible than a
Frenchman or a German. If, then,
Herr Dowe's invention enters the
region of practical warfare, the change
will be in England's favor. It will
give us a chance to escape being
pressed to tne ground by hostile mil
lions. ,
In the navy, no less than in the army;
AT 1 , - . . .
lug cuujiss snouia De oi enormous im
portance. During a sea fight a great
many things will want doing under a
storm of rifle fire, but will hardly be
done except in one of Herr Dowe's
jackets. A few bullet-proof sailors
would be a godsend to a captain when
he was fighting his ship against heavy
odds. In the field, too, the cuirass
would be of great use to artillerymen.
Since they do not have to march, but
either ride or sit on the gun carriages,
there is no reason why the gunners
snouid not be very elaborately p re
tec ted by means of Herr Dowe's patent
material. But if they are they will be
able to work their guns in theopenand
at close Quarters in a way which is now
often impossible owing to the fire of
sharpshooters. In truth; there are a
hundred points on which the bullet
proof clothing alters all the conditions
of war. It will alter, too, some of the
conditions of civil life. Insurrection
against invulnerable men will become
even more impossible than it is now.
Again, the result on small -bodies of
men traveling in savage counties will
be very marked. When the savage
cannot wound his white foe, even men
so brave as the Matabeles will find re
sistance hopeless. '
Possibly, howeverj all we have writ
ten is destined to be quite beside the
mark, not because of any flaw in Herr
JJowe s system, but for a totally differ
ent reason. Suppose that the gun
smiths retaliate on Herr Dowe by mak
ing a gun that will send a bullet
through his cuirass? In that case, the
present conditions will remain. We
do not say that they will, but undoubt
edly they will try. Meanwhile, all we
can say is that, in the great duel be
tween attack and defense, the latter,
after lying hopelessly beaten for two
centuries, has revived, and appears to
have given her antagonist a heavy
blow. Time will show whether we
have to wait fifty years or only six
months for counter-stroke. . .
