business as they will be unable to find
summer ranse elsewhere for their
stock.
Theater goers in The Dalles are
excusable for not turning out to be
humbugged by every barn-storming
troupe that comes along, for they have
been terribly bilked a few times the
past year, but when such talent as ap'
peared in the Vogt last baturday is
billed for a performance, it is to be ro
trretted that better patronage is not
given.
Complaint was filed in Justice Fil

want him punished," hence the case
was dismissed on motion of District
Attorney Jayne.
The Antelope Herald reports the
finding of a ledge of coal 40 feet thick
and two miles long on Trout Creek in
Crook county. At the depth of three
feet coal was obtained that burned
readily and made a good heat. A coal
vein 40 feet thick is uncommon, and
judging from the account of the find
published in the Herald it is standing
on edge, rather a peculiar shape for a
coal vein to get into.
The proposition of the Sherman
County Sheepraisers' Association- to
send a representative to Washington
to intersede for the opening of the
Cascade timber reserve is indeed time
ly. If anything is to be done in re
gard to allowing sheep to range upon
the reserve in time to prevent the an
nihilation of the sheep business it
must be done at once,' hence parties
interested should not be backward
about subscribing to the fund. Unless
the reserve is thrown open by the
middle of May it will avail nothing to
the sheep raisers, and will force many
to go out of business. -

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
The Necessity for It Shown by President
Miller.
Until within recent years educa
cation of the hand has been neglected
in our higher institutions, the mind
only being cultivated; but the general
government recognizing the necessity
of educating both the hand and the
mind has made most liberal appropria
tions for maintaining industrial schooh
in each slatf , and tbo one in Oregon
is located at Corvailis in connection
with the Oregon agricultural college,
where all branches of mechanical art
are taught.
President H. B. Miller, of this'in
stitution, delivered an address at the
court house in this city last night up
on the workings of the school and the
necessity of industrial training. Prof.
Miller is a practical man in every re
spect, and is a firm advocate of practical
rather than theoretical eduoatior.
And as to the needs of industrial edu
cation he is an enthusiast. The youth
who is so trained that he is capable of
taking hold of mechanical appliances
and applying them to practical con
struction of necessary articles, he holds
is better educated an-J will become
more useful than the onts whose bend
is stuffed with theories, but is devoid
of practical application.
As to tho needs of indust rial training,
the speaker showed "that America was
a great producing and consuming
nation; that the demands of the times
were for men and women who comd
enter our shops and factories, and by
a combination of knowledge and skill,
would be capable of constructing
the pi-tducts demanded by consump
iou in competition with the best minds
of the world. The fiald too is wido.
People who are capable of guiding the
hands of others, who are capable of
becoming the leaders of men and
women in all branches of mechanical
art are in demand at high wages all
over the country. To fit the youth of
Oregon for such positions is thepui
pose of the industrial ' school which
Prof. Miller represents. Careful train
ing is given In iron and wood workinf,
civil and mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering and chemistry
as well as in agriculture, horticulture
and botany. The youth who takes a
course in the college may arrive at per
fection in any of these branches, and
at the expiration of his course is pre
pared to take a position by the side of
the most skilled workmen in the line
he has mastered.
At the close of President Miller's
address, Prof. Hedrick gave a micre
scopic illustration, aided by the stere-
opticoo, of the bacteria that forms
upon stagnant water spreading the
germs of disease, and the fungi that
accumulates on decaying vegetable
matter, also a microscopic illustration
of a drop of stagnant water secured
from the streets of The Dalles, show
ing myriads of living insects flitting
about through it. Next the professor
turned his attention to the higher or
ders of plant life, and gave illustrations
of the system of propagation in creat
ing plants.
TO PRESRNT THtiiR CASE.
Sherman County Sheepmen Want to Send
a Delegate to Washington.
At a meeting of the Sherman county
Sheepraisers' Association held recent
ly, the members levied an assessment
of one dollar on every 1,000 head of
sheen owned by the members thereof
to bo used for the purpose of defraying
the expenses cf a delegate to be sent
to Washington to present the matter
of opening the Cascade timber reserve
for herding of stock, before congress
and the president, or to ask that the
limits of the reserve be diminished.
The association proposes to pay
this amount, provided the sum of
$500 can be raised through
the associations in Wasco, Gilliam,
and Crook and Sherman counties and
by voluntary donations from persons
not directly interested in sheeprais
ing. The matter has been laid before
a number of business men of The
Dalles who have subscribed liberally
to the fund, and in all probability the
necessary $500 can be raised.
The sheepraisers have confidence
in the desire of the Oregon delegation
at Washington to some time be able to
get the reservation thrown open, but
it is desirable that action be taken
during the special session of congress
or at least before the season when the
sheep must be driven to summer range,
hence it is believed a special delegate,
who goes to Washington especially for
this purpose, can secure more speedy
action than can a congressman or
senator who has his other duties to at
tend to.
The matter of ooening the reserve
is one of general interest to stock
raisers and farmers of all the adjoining
counties, for if the reserve is not
opened the winter range will be eaten
out completely by the sheep during
tee summer, therefore what can be
done in the matter should bo done at
once.
Two PleaBine Performances-
It was indeed a appreciative audience
that greetod the Stock welljBacon Co.
at the Vogt last Saturday afternoon
and evening to witness the two great
plays "Romeo and Juliet" and "Mr.
Potter of Texas." The first is much
the best suited to the troupe, since the
leading lady, Miss Dalglish, makes a
typical Juliet, and her readings of
Shakespear's charming lines are per
feet. Mr. Lonergan made a handsome.
impetuous Romeo, a generous, warm
hearted lover and proved himself, a
most accomplished actor In "Mr.
Potter of Texas" Miss Dalglish had a
most difficult character, that of Lady
Annerly, an unscrupulous, scheming
woman, and while she took the char
acter admirably, her best acting was
not fully brought out. Mr. Lonergan,
as the Hon. Sampson Potter did some
exceedingly clever work, but did not
equal his personation of Romeo. The
other members of the company furn
ished very strong support, and in fact
some took really leading parts most
admirably. -The Stockwell-Baeon
Company is by odds the best troupe
that has visited The Dalles this season.
and' should they ever appear here again
may rest assured of receiving better
patronage than was given them last
Saturday. -
EQUINOCTIAL 8TOKM PERIOD. "
IiOOlc Ont For Storms From Now Until
the First of April.
This is thequinoctial storm period.
The "equinox" is tho period of equal
days and nights, the word equinox
comingfrom two latin words, "aequas,"
equal, and "nox," night, meaning,
therefore, "equal night." The inter
section to tbe plane of the equator
with the surface of the earth consti
tutes the terrestrial equator, and with
the concave surface of the heavens.the
celestial equator, or equi noctila. When
the sun, ecliptic, comes to 'this circle,
on about the 21st of March and 22d of
September, it makes equal days and
nights in all parts of the globe. The
March equinox is called the vernal
equinox.
Although winter in common par
lance begins on December first, and
ends on Fobruury 6; astronomically,
it begins when the sun enters Capri-
corna on Decemler 21, and ends when
the vern ii equinox occurs on March
il. A storm occurring at any time
during the remainder of March, it will
be merely the vernal equinoctial storm
which a w ivs ccmes with mo. e or less
severity. It may be tut a slight dis'
urbanoi of tbe meteorologi-'al condi
tions, but some change is found to take
place when the equinox comes.
ONE ' MAN'S DIPLOMACY.
It Stopped the Baby's Crying and Earned
Him Everlasting (iratltude.
It was in an "L" train and a baby
was crying with all the strength of its
two-year-old lungs. cThe expression
on the faces of the occupants of the
car changed from indifference to pity,
then to annoyance, and finally tt
downright anger. Finally, says th
New York Recorder, a man two or three
seats from the crying child leanet
over and snapped his fingers quickly.
The effect was magical. The chilt
stopped in the middle of a yell, and
gazed open eyed and open mouthed a
the man. lie snapped his fingers sev
eral times, then, accompanying then,
with grotesquely cheerful smiles and f
peculiar shake of his head whicl
seemed to highly interest the crosr
cherub and appeal to his sense o.
humor, for a wavering little smih
crept around the corners of the droop
ing mouth and the cries ceased fo
good. The man leaned back in hit
seat, bestowing occasional cheerfu,
winks and smiles at the vanquishec
foe.
lie reaped his reward. The old fel
low next to him declared he had diplo
macy enough to make a prime minis
tor, the men opposite peeped at him it
f'-iendly recognition over the tops o:
their papers, the woman near him witl
nerves and a headache said: "Thank
you," and the pretty girl in the cor
ner gave him a sweet smile. That mat
left the car followed by a score oi
blessings, and the cross baby turnet
over and actually went to sleep.
CUTTER-RIGGED YACHTS.
River Colne the Birthplace of the Grace
lul ilrlcUh Cutter.
Pearl and Louise were the firsi
yachts with the distinctive cutter-rig.
writes Capt. A. .7. Kenealy in Outing.
The river Colne was, in point of fact,
the birthplace of the cutter and of the
graceful cutter-stern.
The marquis of Anglesey may be
said to have been tbe parent of Brit
ish yachting, and his 'descendants 'have
been glorious patrons of the sport.
The old marquis christened his son,
Lord Alfred Tcgct, by dipping him
head first into the sea while a child in
long clothes, from the deck of the
Pearl. Every yachtman knows what
Lord Alfred did for the sport in Eng
land, and how capitally the prince of
Wales and he worked together in de
veloping it. Lord Alfred had the full
management of the prince's yachts,
Alexandria and Dagmar, both built for
his royal highness by John Harvey.
Lord Alfred, too, was the first tc
recognize the advantage of the auxil
iary yacht, and John Harvey designed
for him the Xantha, the first of her
kind ever built, and she was followed,
in f.874, by the Hunbeam, Lord Bras
sey's boat, made famous by Lady Bras
sey's facile pen.

Death of Slri. Glavey.
Mrs. Glavey, widow of Thomas Gla
vey, died at her home near Kingsley
Thursday afternoon, and was burried
in Kingsley cemetery Friday, the
funeral being conducted by Father
Bronsgeest. Mrs. Glavey was born in
Ireland about 76 years ago, and immi
grated to America when a girl. With
her husband, who died some seven
years ago, and her three sons she came
co Wasco county in 1879, settling near
Kingsley, where new acquaintances
were formed and friends were made
whose ties of friendship were seyered
only by death. Her last illness was of
short duration, and comparatively
painless, it being apparently tbe quiet
and peaceful termination of one whose
years are ripe and whose life has been
well spent. About her death bed were
gaiheaed her three sons, John, Thomas
and Michael, together with their fam
ilies, and the last sad rites were con
ducted in the presence of a large num
ber of sorrowing friends.
Who Said So.
The man who said that the hardest
part ofan eastern trip came after leav
ing the Mississippi river, never jour
neyed between Minneapolis or St.
faul to MUwauir.ee or Unicago, over
the lines of the Wisconsin Central, for
the accommodations oyer this route
are unsurpassed, the connections are
close, thus doing away with, vexatious
delays. The dining car service is the
remark of all travelers who go this
way. A good square meal at reason
able prices. For particulars addrese

APPEAL OF THE W. C. T. V.
They Ask the President to Iutcrven
Against Prizefight ng. -
Frances E. Willard, president, aaO
Katherine L. Stevenson, correspond
ing secretary of the W. C. T. 17., havt
sent this appeal to President McKin
ley to use his influence to discourage
the exhibition of pictures of tho Car
son fight:
"Honored Ruler As oflicial repre
sentatives of 300,000 members of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
ia the United States, we earnestly en
treat you to call upon congress to pro
hibit in the District of Columbia and
throughout the various territories, tbe
exhibition of pictures reproduced l;
means of the kinetoscope or kinlrtd
instruments of the CorVett-Fii.im-mons
fight or any like exhibition ut
any future time.
"We lelieve in malting this request
wa are seeking the best welfare of the
citizens, especially the youths ii out
line!, who would be brutalized by such
lifelike representations of thes-i de
grading snectacles. We learn that
preparations upon tho largest t-cale
a -e being made for invading t ot ::Joiie
our great cities, but every vi:lugo and
Haraiet with this spectacular perfor
mance; that bad as was the iuliuence
of the fight upon tho comparative few
who witnessed it in person, it would be
infinitely worso becauso so much more
far-rer.ehing if thus produced.
"We are making like requests of tho
:hief officials and ltjrislatures of
various states and have a strong hope
that in a majority of them tho neces
sary legislation may resvlt. We shall
he glad to feel assured at tho outset
that your personal sympathy must be
vith u? , and your official sanction will
be given to this request, so clearly in
the interest of mortality."
STANDARD AND LOCAL TIME.
Geographical Location of the Five Longi
tudinal Belts In This Country.
With the enormous increase of rail
way traveling the necessity arose for
inventing some method of counting
time which should avoid the complica
tions arising from the use of local mean
time, which varies with every mile of
east or west travel. What is known as
the "new standard time" was adopted
by agreement by all the principal rail
roads of the United States at twelve
o'clock, noon, on November 18, 1833.
The system, says the Detroit Free
Press, divides the continent into five
longitudinal belts and fixes a meridian
of time for each belt. These mer-Mians
are fifteen degrees of longitude, corre
sponding to one hour of time, apart.
Eastern Maine, rew Brunswick and
Nova Scotia use the sixtieth meridian;
the Canadas, New England, the mid
dle states, Virginia and the Carolinas
use the seventy-fifth meridian, which
is that of Philadelphia; the states
of the Mississippi valley, Alabama,
Georgia and Florida, and westward, in
cluding Texas, Kansas and the larger
part of Nebraska and Dakota, use the
ninetieth meridian, which is that of
New Orleans. The territories to the
western border of Arizona and Mon
tana go by the time of the one hun
dred and fifth meridian, which is that
of Denver, and the Pacific states cm
ploy the one hundred and twentieth
meridian. The time divisions arc
known as intercolonial time, eastern
time, central time, mountain time and
Pacific time. A traveler passing from
one time belt to another will find hi.s
watch an hour fast or too slow, accord
ing to the direction in which he is go
ing. All pointa in any time division
using the time of the meridian must
set their timepieces faster or slower
than the tune indicated by the sun, ac
cording as their position is castor west
of the line. This change of system re
duced the time standards need by the
railroads from fifty -three to five, a
great convenience to the railroads and
the traveling public.
GREAT PRESENCE OF MIND.
How a Clever Yankee Fooled a Brace
of
Britishers.
The residents of Staten Island, dur
ing its occupancy by the British in rev
olutionary times, were prohibited from
keeping firearms of any description in
their houses. A few of them, rever
theless, succeeded in conccalin rr"11-""
and among these was a youu jnjn
named Houseman. One morning, after
the fall of a light snow, says the Argo
naut, the young manr was out with hu
gun in quest of rabbits, when a suddca
turn in the path brought him in sigh',
of two soldiers. Tho two parties sar
each other simultaneously, and cacr
stopped. Houseman thought cf the
loss of his gun, and possibly of his life;
but the senso of danger was but a stim
ulus to his coolness and daring. He
suddenly turned his back on the sol
diers, and, stepping around thtarn,
vaved his ' hand, as if beckoning to
me one. "Hurry up!" he shouted;
"here are two Britishers. Three of you
go round to tho right, three to the left,
and the rest follow me. Hurry up, be
fore they run away!" The British ers,
hearing these words and fearing there
might be a small army about to sur
round them, turned and fled. They
even threw down their arms to facili
tate their flight. What report they
made when they reached their quarters
is not known, but a detachment was at
once sent out to capture the young man
and his army. Their surprise and mor
tification may be imagined when, at
the turn in the path, they could find
but the tracks of a single individual.
Scale Is Not Killed.
Many orchard is ts are of the opinion
that the severe cold last November
destroyed nearly if not all the San
Jose scale in this section, and that
spraying will not lie necessary this
season. This appears to be a mistaken
idea, says Mr. Schanno, member of the
state board of horticulture, who has
had occasion- to examine a number of
orchards recently. While possibly
some of the insects were destroyed by
the November freeze, there are sail
enough to do much damage, and unless
trees are properly treated, the soale
will appear quite numerous so soon as
warm weather sets in. Trees should
be sprayed during this month or in the
first week of April in order to destroy
scale, and Mr. Schanno recommends
the immediate application of the lime
and sulphur sprays for which the for
mula and directions for using were
printed in the Times-Mountaineer
some time since.
Do Ifot Neslect Your Ey ea.
Many suffer from poor eyesight who
could be relieved, but neglect to have
their vision corrected in time to save
or improve tbe sight, and as age creeps
on they are afflicted with blindness or
blurred vision instead of having strong
bright eyes. Do not deceive yourself.
If you have defective sight, do not pro
crastinate, but have your eyes attended
to at once, and thus saye yourself
great pain and suffering in old age.
Good vision is a boon to be cherished.
Dr. Lannerberg, office in Vogt block,
will examine your eyes free of charge.
Going; Ahead.
There possibly will be no boom in
The Dalles this year, but there will be
substantial and steady growth. At
least the city will not stand still, and
while there are no business buildings
nder contemplation at present, there
will be a number of fine residences
built. Judge Bennett, Judge Blakeley
and Hon. E. O. McCoy are contemplat
ing building residence during the
summer. Besides these dwellings, tbe I
Catholic church will most likely erect
an edifice that will cost in tho neigh
borhood of 812,000, and the school dis
trict wiil put up an oight-room, fire
proof school bouse on the Academy
Park grounds. Those buildings to-gethi-r
with tho two cottages J. T.
Petcvs has under eoustruction at pres
ent will make quite a respectable
growth for The Dallas for ono year,
and show that it is going ahead rather
thau retrogress-anar.
A Neat Calendar.
There are many varieties of calen
dars being distributed this year. Some
are works of art but large, while
others are small, neat and handy. To
the latter class belong the ones being
handed out in this section by the Wis
consin General lines. They are just
the size for the desk and may bo had

eral Passenger Agent. Milwaukee,
Wis., - or Mr. Geo. S. Batty, Gea'i
