exposition. . They are from M. M.
Cushing's farm. .
Every farmer who has a nice box of
fruit, a big pumpkin, an overgrown
melon, a choice sack of potatoes, in
fact anything that is worthy of being

of the city. With this' piece of road
put . in good repair, a considerable
amount of Klickitat wheat, would yet
be brought to this market. .
The bankers who heard Mr. Craven
last night could certainly have no
very kind feeling toward that gentle
man after he announced that they
would pay their depositors off in 50
cent dollars in case free silver should
prevail, thus swindling their depositors
out of 50 cents on every dollar. That
might apply to bankers elsewhere, but
not to those of The Dalles. The banks
here are conducted on honest business
principles.

if your sickness is caused by indiges

because it is the only way that gets
rid of the poisons. You know that
fermented food is poisonous. You
know that poison is unhealthy. Shaker
Digestive Cordial clears the stomach
of fermenting food, and purifies the
blood and system of indigestive
poisons. It cures indigestion and the
diseases that come of it. . Headache,
dizziness, nausea, stomach-ache, weak

WAS A FALSK STATEMENT.
The Oregonian's Hired Liar at Waslilug
ton Called Down.
The Washington correspondent of
the Portland Oregonian asserted in
Monday's issue that Chairman Jones,
of the democratic national committee,
had given up all hope of carrying
Bryan through, etc. The East Ore
gonian telegraphed Chairman Jones,
asking if there were any foundation
for the statement, and here is his
answer:
"Chicago, Sept. 22. To the Daily
East Oregonian Publishing Co.: The
statement that I have given up hope
of Bryan's election, which you say id
telegraphed to Oregon from Washing
ton, is an absolute falsehood, without
a shadow of foundation. I was never
as confident of his election as I am to
day and I have absolutely no doubt of
his success. James K. Jones."
Hurrah For Kingsley. .
On Friday evening of last week a W.
J. Bryan club was organized at Kings
ley with a membership of 50. The
meeting was one of tho most en
thusiastic so far held in the county,
and indicates that the sturdy farmers
of Kingsley precinct are awake to their
interests. An old veteran and life
long republican was elected president,
and in thanking theclub for the honor
conferred upon him said he fought
four long years to maintain the Union,
and now to be called an anarchist for
having the independence to oppose
the attempt of the corporations and
trusts to gain control of the govern
ment, was an insult he would resent by
voting for Wm. J. Bi yan for president,
as will a large majority of the residents
of Kingsley precinct. .

THAT MEXICAN OBJECT LESSON.
Uno of Uncle Sam's Old Suldiers Makes
Some Statements.
Valley Junction. Iowa. Aug. 29.
I. Jumes U. Kennedy, cow a resided
ot tho town ofSina!oa. state of Sina-
loa. Mexico, swear that I am an Amer
ican by birth, that I served three
years in the Seventh Iowa daring the
late civil war, that I have always been
a republican. I have resided in Mex
ico for twenty-live years. I speiik tin
Spanish lanuae as well or better
than I now do English. I havo trav
eled through twenty-four of tho twenty-
seven states in Mexico in an official
capacity and as interpre'er lor uumer
ous syndicate. I have h:id access to
ilmoat all the archives of that coun
try. I am better acquainted witn tne
customs and usages of that country
than I am of inv mother country- I
left Mexico on the 2d day of March
1896, cominsr to this country to visit
my friends, relatives and old comrade?
During the Last month in Iowa I have
heard more absurd and utterly false
statements made in regard to Mexico
than I ever thought could be conjured
up by mortal man, all to deceivo the
voter.
One most heard is that you can take
one American silver dollar to Mexico
and get two Mexican eilver dollars for
it, or that you can get a meal and throw
down an American dollar and they
will give you back in- change a Mexi
can dollar. I brand this as utterly
false in every respect, a lie manufac
tured out of whole cloth. I assert that
a Mexican will not accept an American
dollar,, either gold, silver, or paper,
for any amount, but will refer you to a
broker, where you can sell your silver
dollars as bullion for Mexican money;
then they will trade with you. The
largest hotel in the city of Mexico will
not accept American money under any
circumstances, but will invariably re'
fer you to a broker.
By paying the mintage anyone can
take silver bullion to either of the
mints in Mexico and get Mexican
silver dollars for it, and for 2o0 years
silver bullion has never fluctuated up
or down to exceed 2 cents.
I hear it asserted that the national
debt is payable in gold. I brand this
as utterly false. Every dollar of the
debt $146,000,000 is and always has
been payable in the lawful money of
that country, and we are now paying
our debt in Mexican silver dollars, the
money of the contract.
I assert that Mexico in tho present
decade is making strides of advance
ment greater than any other nat ion on
earth. Twenty five years ago we had
eighty miles of railroad now we have
near 8,000 mires of railroad. We are
building factories on every hand.
Twenty-eight years ago, when the
French army was driven out we were
left penniless not a dollar in the
treasury. We can now pay our
national debt any day a demand would
be made for it.
I am now on my way to Mexico to
spend the rest of my life. Anyone can
find me by addressing a letter to James
H. Kennedy, Sinaloa, Mexico.
In conclusion I invite on honest and
thorough investigation into the facts
of my statement, and I defy successful
contradiction. I am not the owner
of mining stocks, and no personal In- j
terest has caused me to make this
statement, but have given it by request
of an old comrade..

A GOOD WORD FOB Til?. DALLES.
Freight Agent Harder Gives Tills City a
Good Send Off.
About 750,000 pounds of wool will be
shipped from The Dalles, on consign
ment, to Boston, this week, by Mr.
Pease, of the mercantile firm of Pease
& Mays, of The Dalles, says the Ore
gonian. This is the principal ship
ment that has thus far been made this
season. General Freight Agent iar
der, of the Great Northern, who has
just returned from a visit to Eastern
Oregon and Washington, said in reply
to an inquiry yesterday, regarding the
movement of products East :
This week's shipment of wool from
The Dalles will bring the total ship
ments thus far made this season up to
about 2,000,000 pounds. But both buy
ers and producers are holding off until
alter tne election, bnipments are
made on consignment, as buyers don't
want to risk too much and sellers want
more than is offered.
- "There is a strong movement of
salmon, wheat and fruit" from The
Dalles now. Seufert Bros ' and Her
rick's canneries have shipped a total
of 10,000 cases of salmon this season.
The Dalles Commission Company has
shipped a number of caroads of prunes
and sugar plums, on which very fair
prices have been realized.
Large quantities of wheat from, the
surrounding ranches are coming into
The Dalles for shipment daily. Ibis
nearly all of good quality, much less
damage having been done by the hot
winds early in the spring than was an
ticipated. The Dalles is certainly an
important distributing point. It is
becoming greater in this respect every
day. The merchants are live people.
The Vogt block,' a large modern build
ing with fine stores, has just been com
pleted. It would be a credit to any
city in the country. Then the A. M.
Williams drygcods, store 80x100 feet, a
great modern department store, with
huge plate glass windows, has also,
been erected this year, as well as a
dozen or more fine private residences.
It certainly looks as if The Dalles has a
great future and knows it."
I! ore Taxes for the People Will Produce
Prosperity, Says Mr. Cravan.
The fiist republican pun of the cam
paign in Wasco county was lire ! by
-ho republicans at I ho court house
last ninht by Hon. II. W. Cravan. of
Seattle. The seating capacity of the
circuit court room in th court house
was all taken, when F. W. Wilson
arose and introduced the speaker, as
one of the ablest; advocates of republi
canism, as taught by r. McKinley,
and there was none who doubted Mr.
Wilson's stateme its either then or
after the speaker had concluded his ad
dress.
mv. iravan negan oy reading from
the reports of Brad street's and It. G
Dunn is Co a. commercial agencies to
Drove that all present ills were the re
suit of the election of Groyer Cleve
land to the presidency in 1892. These
reports showed a great prosperity at
tho end of 1892 and the reverse at the
end of 1893, which the speaker con
sidered undisputabie evidence that the
p mic of 1893 was the result of a change
of the tariff policies of the government,
though he neglected to state that there
was no change ia the tariff law prior
to August 1. 1894, and that tho only
legislation the democratic congress
enacted prior to Dec. 31, 1893, the date
to which he referred as the great finan
cial crash, except the repeal of the
Sherman law for the purchase of silver.
After disposing of the tariff question
to his own satisfaction, denouncing
Cleveland's administration as a fail
ure (without even referring to the fact
that McKinley, if elected, would pur
sue the same financial policy) and re
ferring to thn Chicatro nlatfnrm ism
anarchistic declaration, Mr. Cravan
turned to tho money question. His
contention was that with free coinage
of any metal, mouey coined of that
metal would have the purchasing
power only of the bullion in that coin
tie neia up a Mexican dollar ana an
American dollar as an object lesson
and pathetically explained that the
former had only half the purchasing
power of the latter. Then he branched
off into a gloomy picture of the results
that would follow should Bryan be
elected, and declared that children
would cry at their mothers' feet for
bread.
Misaddress nad little effect in con
vicning the thinking mind that free
coinage was not the right thing for the
American people, and an idea of how
he succeeded in converting voters to
the cause of McKinley can best be
judged from the expression of an old
democrat who, after listening to Mr,
Craven said ho and three other demo
crats had made up their minds to . vote
foiMcKinley, but after having heard
Mr. Craven's speech they concluded
that Bryan was the man for them, and
that he will receive their support.

THIS YEAR'S WOOL CLIP.
Oregon and California Ron a Close Rare.
Montana Leads the Country.
The National Association of Wool
Manufacturers has recently completed
its annual estimate of the wool clip of
the United States for 1896, and the
results arrived at are striking and in
teresting. The estimate is based, as
heretofore, upon the return of the de
partment of agriculture of the number
of sheep in the country on April 1, 1896,
the return showinga total of 36,464,405
sheep, which is a loss of 3,484,983 sheep
since the last report, and the smallest
total reported by the department since
1875. The clip of these sheep is esti
mated, following the English method,
by ascertaining, by extensive corres
pondence with growers, dealers and
manufacturers, the average weight
of the fleeces in the several states),
and multiplying the number of sheep
in each state by that state average.
This has long been accepted as the
most feasible method of arriving at
the approximate total clip - of the
country.
Ja a carefully compiled table which
accompanies the report, the produc
tion in wool in oath state and territory
in the Union is given. Montana leads
in the number of sheep and output of
wool, having 2,969,657 head, producing
t iisclip 21,530,013 pounds of washed
and unwashed wool, and 7,320.204
pounds i f scourei. The Montana fleece
averages "i pounds, those of California
and Oregou 7 and 8 pounds respec
tively. It is interesting to note how closely
the wool industry of California and
Oregon compares in volume. Califor
nia has 2,739,967 sheep, which clipped
19,179,765 pounds of washed and un
washed wool, with a 65 per cent of
shrinkage. Of scoured wool she put
out 6,712,919 pounds.
Oregon has 2,486,247 sheep, from
which were secured 19,889,976 pounds
of washed and unwashed wool, with CO
per cent of shrinkage. The scoured
wool amounted to 6,165,892 pounds.
GOLD IN MILL CREEK.
Rich Specimens of Quarts Taken From
the Gravel Right Here In Town.
Considerable excitement has been
caused in the city by the finding of a
specimen of rich gold quartz in tbe
gravel that is being used in construct
ing tbe cement walk around. the court
house grounds. This morning Col.
Freeman, one of tbe contractors, was
leveling down the gravel, preparitory
to putting on a coat of cement, when
he noticed a piece of quartz, about two
inches square, and on examining it,
found that it was rich in gold. Pieces
of gold, from the size of pin head to
a quarter of an inch in diameter, show
ing all oyer it. The gravel in which
the quarts was found was hauled from
Mill creek just above tbe Fourth street
bridge by Joe Berger. - A few years
ago one of Ralph Gibons' sons picked
up a similar piece of quarts a few hun
hred feet below that point, hence, it. ia
believed the gravel is rich in like
specimens. The quartz which Col.
Freeman found shows little indication
of having been washed, therefore it is
presumed that the ledge from which
it come is not far distant. Pros pec t-
The probability that the canal and
locks at Cascades wiJl be completed at
an early date appears to be brighter
than ever before, and that boats will
be running from here to Portland be
tween now and the last of November
seems now to be assured. The con
crete wall-on tbe south side of the
canal, between the upper guard gate,
and the lock gate is now completed to
a height of 12 feet, and is virtually fin
ished. The work on the north side is
being pushed with all possible rapidity,
the concrete wall to the top of the
culvert, a height of five feet, being
nearly completed. When this concrete
work is done, stone masons will beeln
laving tbe stone wall, which will be 27
feet high, und will be pushed to com
pletion. The contractors' dredger Is working
on the lower bulkhead, and will have
an opening through in a short time so
that a dredger can be passed through
the locks from below to begin opening
the upper bay. Everything points to
an early completion of tho work, and
tbe people of The Dalles need not be
surprised to see a boat arrive from the
lower river within a week.
Merry Little Folks.
Wednesday afternoon Helen and
Grace Peters entertained a - host
of their little friends, and - for
several hours the pleasant home of
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Peters rang
with the childish glee of the
merry little ladies and gentlemen who
were present. It was purely a chil
dren's party, those participating rang
ing from two to eight years of age, and
it was indeed a happy sight to see the
youthful men and women romping
over the lawn and amusing themselves
with childish sport. After they had
tired of play, Mrs. Peters seated the
youthful guests to a dainty lunch, such
as children most eDjoy, and when the
lunoh was finished each of tbe guests
was presented with a bon-boD, a
souvenir of the happy event. The little
folks present were: Katherine and
Wallace Taylor, Nita and Cbrystal
Bennett, Guy and Wianifred Douthit,
Florence Hoilister, Tommy Hudson,
Harry and May Walthers, Laura, Alice
and Davis Kurtz, Clifton Condon,

Dalles f ruit In liolorado.
Somo time since John Bona sent a
sample box of Hungarian prunes from
his orchard in The Dalles to his son,
Gus Bonn, in Colorado. The prunes
were such curiosities in Colorado, they
being superior to anything ever befure
seen there, that Gus concluded to put
them on exhibition at the Colorado
state fair, and they took Erst prize for
size and (quality. They were admired
by all visitors at the fair, and the at
tention attracted will no doubt create
a great demand for . Dalles prunes in
Colorado next year, '
