now. Few of the citizens have as much
as a sack of flour on hand, and many

cause of the famine is the state of the
roads, over .which neither flour nor
wheat can be hauled in.

tives to the Oregon legislature having

'Uncle John" Minto, secretary of

the prospects for a big fruit crop this

like days might bring out the buds too

throughout the state, and the condi
tion of orchards will be watched with
interest this year. : .

for the Spanish Students who were on
board the boat when it met with the
accident, and alleged in his complaint
that by reason of the troupe not reach
ing The Dalles on the date advertised,

Hon. W. H.' Biggs returned last
night from a visit to Wasco. Mr.
Biggs says the farmers of Sherman
county were never more hopeful than

will prevail throughout the country

Checks have arrived from Washing

fourth divident declared. When this

have beeu paid ' So per' cent of the
claims which were held against the
bank when it went into the receiver's
hands.
Yesterday in mentioning the pro
posed railroad leading from Biggs to
Wasco in Sherman county, it was
stated that if the road was built it
would probably be a branch of the O.
R. & N. This appears to be a mistake.
since parties who are connected with
the project positively state that the O.'
R. & N. will not be interested directly
or indirectly in the road. ' It will be
built by a local corporation, and theri
is au almost absolute certainty, tbaT it
will be constructed the couing sum

Dp to Date Service.
A great many Pacific' coast people,
when contemplating a trip east and
when bringing friends west, know
very little about the interior lines, and
the object of this article is to afford re
liable information.
In the first place for good time and
service select a route via St. Paul and
Minneapolis, because the lines that
way are continuous under one system
without any change of cars, and every
man from peanut agent up, is a cour
teous, reliable and experienced officer,
ready to aid and protect you in every
emergency and capable of making you
feel at. home and comfortable during
the long journey. Then see that your
ticket reads via the Wisconsin Cen
tral lines, because that thoroughfare
affords strictly first-class service, and
the meals on its dining cat s (always
reasonable in price) are equalled by
few and excelled by none. Geo. S.
Batty, 246 Stark St., Portland, Or., is
general agent for this company and
will cheerfully furnish you a neat and
handy calendar and full information
on the subject of transportation, if ad
dressed or called upon, and any agent
will upon application, sell you a ticket
over the Wisconsin Central Lines
A Contract Becared.
A contract has been secured by the
management of the Vogt opera house
calling for a date with Herr Carl Wal
ther, the famous violinist, and Effie
Blaine Hext, the eminent Shakesper
ian scholar and entertainer; and thier
date has been .fixed for Monday,
March 1.
This is quite flattering for the local
management, for the American tour of
this company is limited to 104 engage
ments, and;the company will sail for
Australia early in the Bpring.
Hicks OK the Weather.
Rev. Irl R. Hicks, editor of Word
and Work, is beyond question the
most accurate .weather prognosticator
in the country, .seldom making mis
takes in his forecasts, and - it is not
amiss to heed his prophesies. In the
February number of Word and Work
be predicts the last half of this month
will witness much unsettled weather,
andjome heavy storms will prevail. The
month will close with warm weather,
low barometer and rain turning into
snow in the north and west. Severe
storms will occur in March and heavy
frosts until April 20.

It ha Again Been Made a Penal Oflense
to do no.
For the otst few years Indians who
had taken lands in severalty have been
considered citizens of tlw United
States, aud according to the decisions
of the courts it has been no offense to
sell them intoxicating liquors; but on
Jan. 26 a bill passed by congress
approved by the president which is as
follows:
Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America in congress assem
bled: That any person who shall sell,
gve away, dispose of, exchange or bar
ter, hjMtuous, or vinous liquors, in
cludingWr, ale and wine, or any ar
dent or othf intoxicating liquor of
any kind whatever, or any essence,
extract, bitters, proration, com
pound, composition, or '.jay article
whatsoever, under the-nam, label,
brand, which produces io toxica ion in
any Indian to whom allotment of nd
has been made while tho title to t
same shall be held in trust by the gov
ernment, or to any Indian a ward of
the government under charge of any
Indian agent or superintendent of any
Indian, including mixed bloods over
whom the government through its de
partments exercises guardianship, and
any person who snail introduce any
malt, spirituous or vinous liquor, in
cluding beer, ale and wine, or any ar
dent or intoxicating liquor of any
kind whatsoever into the Indian coun
try, which term shall include any In
dian allotment while the title of the
same shall be held in trust by the gov.
ernment, or while the same shall re
main inalienable by the allottee with
out the consent of the United States,
shall be punished by imprisonment for
not less than 60 days, and by a fine of
not less than $100 for the first offense
and not less than $200 for each offense
thereafter.
Provided, however, That the person
convicted shall be committed until fine
and costs are paid. But it shall be a
sufficient defense to any charge of in
troducing or attempting to introduce
ardent spirits, ale, beer, wine or intox
icating liquors into the Indian coun
try, that the acts charged were done
under authority, in writing, from the
war department or any officer di'ly au
thorized thereunto by the war depart
ment. TO WIPE OUT SALOONS.
The Washington House Passes the Dis
pensary Bill.
Washiagton is on tho verge of wip
ing out all of her saloons and' whole
sale liquor houses by adopting a pro
hibitory law similar to that governing
the sale of liquors in South Carolina.
The dispensary act, known as the
Ciine bill, passed the bouse Tuesday
by a vote of 47 ayes to 30 noes, much
to the surprise of the bouse itself. The
measure was supported by nearly all
the niddle-of-the-road populists and
by a few silver republicans. The pro
posed 'aw puts the full control of the
liquor '.raffic in the hands of the gov-
ernor,tut eliminates from the South
Carulina law the profit system that
brings ;hat state an enormous revenue.
The Vashington bill provides that
the .governor shall appoint a stat
coinmisuny with in turn shall appoint
county commissioners, and tjjjay in
.turn.appint-.JocalispjairaerB. All
liquo,-iefrbandled through the
8ta.fc-"commi88ion, i with a sufficient
profit attached to pay all of the ex
pense of the different boards and dis
pensatories. No liquor is sold at re
tail to be drunk upon the premises,
and minors and drunkards are pro
hibited under penalties against state
agents from receiving it. Liquor is to
be sold only in quantities of not less
than a pint nor more than five gallons.
HE DIDN'T SAT IT.
Senator Dnf ur Never Offered to Surrender
the Portage Bill.
- The following unwarranted state
ment appeared a few days Since in the
Salem Journal:
, .VI throw my bill for a portage rail
road to relieve the farmers of Eastern
Oregon to the dogs. . What Orecon
needs is a funding bill senator to help
the Pacific railroads rob the farmers.
Senator Dufur."
To this the Salem Statesman replies:
"Senator Dufur has never, since his
arrival in Salem as a representative
from Wasco, Gilliam and Sherman
counties, either in the lobby, in joint
convention, on the senate floor, in
committee room, nor in the environ
ments of his social life here, given ut
terance to anything that by any possi
ble contrivance or contortion could be
construed into a declaration such as he
is here lyingly charged with uttering.
"The portage railway bill now before
the senate, is the dearest purpose of
his heart and he has done all an active,
zealous and conscientious representa
tive could do to further its destiny.
"The context in the foully, inspired
paragraph contains a sentiment he has
never in his life endorsed or "sought to
promulgate, privately or publicly. The
quotation is gratuitous in every -line
and syllable and could have found pub
licity in no other paper in the state."

A Narrow Escape.
About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
J. H. Jackson was driving down the
bill between Five and Three-mile
creeks in a cart coming towards town,
when his horse fell, throwing Mr.
Jackson forward.' In some way his
feet became entangled, and he was
dragged about 100 yards before he got
loose from the cart. . Mr. Jackson was
so severely stunned that he was inser
sible, but when he regained conscious
ness, his horse ' was no where to be
be seen, and his head and face was
severely bruised, though his injuries
are not dangerous. At a house near
by be received assistance to dress his
wounds, after which he wad able
walk into town. The horse wanderei
about the race track all night, an
was found with the cart attached U
him this morning, no damage havinjr
been done to it except the breaking oi
the axle.

NO CLOCKS THERE.
Gambling Bonsea Have Ko Use for Tim
Indicators.
There are no clocks in gambling
houses, and there never will be, except
those of the clock game variety.
There's reason for this and a good one,
too, in the opinion of the gentlemen
with hurdle-course shirt fronts who
personify the tiger, says the Chicago
Tribune.
"What's the time?" asked one of
them the other morning early morn
ing as he pulled a diamond studded
watch from his pocket and answered
the question.
"Why don't we have a clock hanging
np?" he continued. "Cause they cost
money. I don't mean it takes more
than the result of one deal to pay for
one of 'em in the first place, but they're
expensive in the end. Yon see it's this
way: If we had a ticker on the wall
and a fellow had promised to be home
on the last car, and happened to look
np and see that he had seven minutes
to catch that car, why, it's nearly an
even thing that he'd quit us and go
home. That sort of business would
soon burst us np. If he doesn't know
what the time is he misses his car, then
he doesn't give a rap what time he
oes; he generally waits for the cable
to start.again. That's where our 'soft
.noney' comes in; men get reckless as
the morning dawns.
"No, sir; no clocks on my wall. I'm
not going to fix things so that a man
will have to lie to his wife when he
cells her he didn't know what the time
was. -1 don't like a liar nohow."
And Sir. Snrething pulled his watch
3ut of his pocket and told a man who
bad just arisen from a poker table that
Ut is just 2:50, sir." The man mut
tered: "Missed it," and bought another
.tack. .
It was 3:15 a. m.

tftabblna; Affray at Cleveland.
At a mask ball given at Cleveland,
in Klickitat county last Monday even
ing, Frank Castile and John Beck be
came engaged in an altercation over
the identity of a masker, and in. the
trouble that followed Beck was stabbed
to death. The Goldendale Sentinel
savs Castile came to that city on Tues
day and surrendered himself to Sheriff
Stimson. The preliminary examina
tion had not yet been held when the
Sentinel was issued on Wednesday,
though it states that Castile will offer
a plea of self-defense as an excuse for
his killing Beck. Castile is a cripple,
bis right hand being disabled, and the
many bruises about his face and body
indicate that he had engaged .in a se
vere encounter.'
To Cut Down the Appropriation.
In the state senate yesterday Sen
or Harmon, of the committee on
commerce and navigation, reported a
substitute for Michell's bill relative to
the portage railway between The
Dalles and Celilo. The substitute re
duces the amount of the appropriation
asked for from $195,000 to $130,000.
There are also several other minor
changes. The substitute was referred
to the committee' on railroads. This
action was no doubt taken oa tho roo
ommendatlon of Engineer Lovell, who
accompanied the senate when they vis
ited the proposed portage, and .con
sidered $130,000 sufficient to construct
and equip the road.
Thejr All Adjourned.
