Horses are rapidly rising in price,
from one end of the country to the
other. Owners of horses, who had
almost lost hope, are taking fresh
courage, foe .they begin to see a bright
outcome that is evergrowing brighter.
Of course, this does not apply to cay
uses. The ' outlook for sheepraisers is
brightening somewhat. Even if there
is no material advance in the price of
wool, there is a prospect that they will
be allowed to range their flocks on the
timber reserve this season, which is an
encouragement that they will be able
to continue in business a little longer.
This forenoon Mr. Crossen opened
his bowling alley to the ladies from 10

was seen flitting about on the streets
this morning. He was a lively little
fellow, and was displaying bis well
known pugnocious nature, ' giving

a peck' The English sparrow, although
a fine songster, is a quarrelsome fellow,

that the horses be perfectly gentle and
well trained to harness.

Although the closing of the Dalles
National bank . this morning caused
some Excitement, it did not cause any
run upon either of the other banks. It
appears to be the general sentiment
among business men in the city that
the Dalles National is perfectly solv

its solvency among its customers, that
were it to re-open tomorrow there
would be no demands made except for
ordinary daily business transactions,

this account of the accidental shooting
of Mr. Darch last Tuesday: "I was
standing in ' Presby & Darch 's office,
Mr. Presby was sitting down at his
desk. . Mr. Darch came in and sat down
opposite him. Mr. Presby opened a
drawer and took out a pistol, saying,
'I could not get cartridges for this, so I
got another one.' Mr. Darch spoke
up saying, 'you could have taken mice,
I have it in my pocket. I brought it
down and will leave it,' placing it on
the table, Mr. Presby picked it up and
it wont off."-- Mr. Darch's lower jaw
was fractured where the ball entered
his chin, though his injuries are in no
way dangerous.

Battle-Ship's Visit, to Portland .About
Assured.
Private advices received in Portland
from one of the junior officers of the
battle-ship Oregon, now at Port Or
chard drydock, point to almost a surety
of the splendid warship visiting Port
land. The officers of the Oregon, the writer
states, are unanimous in their desire
to come to Portland. In fact, the cli
max of the voyage north was gen
erally conceded, on leaving San Fran
cisco, to be the trip up the Columbia
river, and presentation of the testi
monial prepared by tho people of Ore
gon. Pilot W. H. Patterson's consultation
with Captain .Barker, of the Oregon,
has convinced the latter that the -ship
will undergo no chance whatever of
touching in coming ap the river, the
pilot having shown conclusively that
ample water will be in the channel, in
the shallowest placo there being 3 feet
I beneath the keel of the warship.
So far as depth of water is concerned,
many people have an erroneous idea as
to the number of feet between the keel
son of a vessel and the bottom of the
channel necessary to safely navigate
the craft. During the period cf low
water in the Columbia it is no uncom
mon occurrence for pilots to keep go
ing under at "ful-speed-ahead"bell
when the lead shows but -two feet of
water beneath the steamer s keel.
Tho Oregon can come, to Portland,
and at the most shallow 'spot in the
river have at least 3i feet to spare.
And there can be no question but what
tho big battleship will come. Tele

NEED OF ORGANIZATION.
Frnit Growers Should Unite For the Par
pose of Marketing; Their Prodact.
There is every indication at present
that the fruit growers of this section
will harvest an immense crop this sea
son, but so far as is known, bo steps
have been taken for putting it upon
the market; in fact, there is scarcely
a fruit raiser who has arranged for his
boxes, or has any idea when or to whom
he will sell bis crop. As a large per
cent of the fruit that is raised here is
perishable, that is, must bo put on the
tnarketas soon as it is gathered, it
seems that, some sort of organization
should be effected by the orchardists
so that they may be able to put their
fruit out in sufficient quantities to at
tract buyers, and also' at times and
places where the demand is the great
est. . A grower with .50 or 7a boxes of
choice fruit, acting alone, cannot hope
to realize the top prices, for the reason
that he cannot ship to advantage,
whereas if he could load a car, he
would be able to get the best possible
rates on ireight,,.
This could be done if the fruit rais'
ers who ship from The Dalles would
form a union, the manager of which
could watch the markets for all as well
as if only for one individual, could
keep all. advised as to where certain
classes of fruit were in demand, "and at
what times it would be most advanta
guous to prepare fruit for shipment.
Besides he could arrange for the pur
chase of boxes and wrappers for all,
and buying in large quantities, could
secure better rates than individuals
could buying for themselves. There
would be many advantages accruing
from the organization of a fruit union
at The Dalles, and as the crop will
soon be ready to harvest, some action
should be taken at the earliest possi
ble date.
JToiesters Grand Court.
The seventh annual convention of
the grand court of Oregon, Foresters
of America, will be held in this city,
beglning next Tuesday. The conven
tion this year promises to be full of
interest to the members of the order,
inasmuch as at the last session of the
grand court, held in Portland, biennial
sessions were adopted to go into effect
from and after the present session
The laws of the order have been so
thoroughly revised in the past few
years that it is deemed unnecessary to
meet oftener than once every two
years, and naturally there is a great
deal of interest taken in the election
of officers, in whom the responsibility
for the future prosperity of the order
will be renosed.
Elaborate preparations are being
made by the members of Court The
Dalles for receiving and entertaining
the delegates and grand officers on
their arrival here, and it will be their
endeavor to make their stay in the city
a pleasant one. ' The grand officers and
delegates will leave Portland on the
steamer Dalles City Monday morning,
and on their arrival here will be given
a banquet by the local court.
The Degree of Honor.
Wednesday night the D. of H. held
another of those pleasant meetings
that has won for ' it the reputation
of being the most social order in the
city. Ordinary lodge work, including
an initiation, was disposed of as early
as possible, after which the "Fern
Leaf"- was read. - a poem recited by
Mrs. C. F. Stephens and a vocal solo
rendered by Charlie Clark, then the
chief of honor announced that the
lodge had a surprise in store for two
of its members, Mr. and Mrs. C. F.
Stephens, it being the 12th anniver
sary of their wedding, and at once the
committee on refreshments brought
forth a lunch that was fit for kings.
During the discussion of lunch, Mr.
and Mrs. Stephens received many
warm congratulations that spoke
louder than words of the friendship
that existes between the members of
the Degree.

The following telegram was received
Thursday from Hon. Tboa. H. Tongue,
representative from the first Oregon
t district, in reply to a dispatch sent by
Messrs. Chas. Hilton and M. A. Moody,
urging him to interest himself in the
matter of an order permitting stock to
be ranged oa the Cascade timber re
serve: " VYashington,D. C.i May 5. (Hon.
Chas. Hiiton and M. A. Moody, The

ordered to stop preceodings against

partment action in forest reserves at
present. Delogatioh a unit.
"Thomas H. Tongue."
The First National bank also tele
graphed Mr. Eliis, representative from
this district, concerning the same mat
ter, and received the following reply:
" Washington, D. C, May 4. (First
National Bank, The Dalles) Every
thing is being doo9 thqf; can. No
stone left unturned. ''Wilf report soon.
?W. R. Elus."
In answer to a dispatch frpm Messrs.
Huntington & W:l9on urging him to
do something to hasten a ruling in ref
erence to allowing sheepmen to range
their flocks on the reserve, Mr. Ellis
replied:
"Washington, D. C, May 4.
(Huntington & Wilson, The Dalles)
We are doing all in our power. Will
continue to work. Hope for tood re'
suits soon. W. R. Ellis"
Dispatches have also been received
from Mr. Mitchell and Senator Mc-
Bride, stating that they would interest
themselves in securing speedy and
favorable action in ' reference to the
reserve being thrown open for the
pasturage of stock.;!
This would indicate that some action
will be taken both by congress and the
interior department whereby the forest
reserves will be opened to live stock,
at least for this season, and possibly
permanent arrangements will be made
whereby the mountain ranges may be
utilized by stockmen during the sum
mer months each year. At all events
there will be .no danger of prosecution
for taking, sheep on the reserve this
season, or. until matters nave oeen
fully adjusted, hence .the sheep raisers
of this and adjoining counties need not
fear being prosecuted for taking their
flocks on to the reserve at present.
Unusual interest ' is being taken by
residents not only of The Dalles but of
all of Wasco county with reference to
the opening of the reserve, and it is a
matter that demands Immediate action,
for it is now the season of the year
when sheep must- be Jaken -to tho
mountain ranges in order to allow the
grass on the prairie country to grow,
thus affording feed" for stock during
the fall and winter, and as a quarantine
law has been enacted in Washington
preventing the moving of Oregon
sheep to the mountains . of that state,
!,t4s. absolutely n ecessary. .that they. fee.
allowed to go iqto the Cascades in this
state, else the majority of sheep, raisers
will be compelled to retire from busi
ness. ,
Greatly to the surprise of everybody
in The Dulles, tho Dalles National
bank was not opened this morning, the
following notice bein posted on the
door:
'This bank is in the bands of the
comptroller of tho currency.
. "Chas. Clary, B ink Ex iminer."
Examiner Clary had been in the city
so na tvo weeks, and lefo for Port
land last Wednesday. Rjturning i
the 6 o'clock train last night he in
formed Cashier M. A. Mjody that he
would take charge of the bank. It was
therefore closed this ir.orning against
the protest of the bank officers, and
Mr. Clary is in charge.
Mr. Moody, who has been cashier cf
the bank ever tince it was established
ten years ago, says the establishmen
is perfectly solvent, and will bo able to
pay all depositors in full. The bank is
the depository for the treasurer of
Dalles City and The Dalles water
works, several thousand d liars bo-
longing to the city and some of the
water comrriis?ion finds being de
posited with the bank. A small
amount of county funds was also de
posited by County Treasurer Phillips
with The Dalles National, though not
enough to embarrass the treasurer.
Pv
1 1 ne uaues iNationai nan it was es
tablished in 1SS7 with a capital stock
of $50, COO, and for the past ten years,
under the management of M. A
Moody as cashier, has pursued a liberal
and broad-gauge policy. It has a.large
line of clients among the wool raisers
and farmers of this, Crook, Gilliam
and Sherman counties, besides a lib
eral patronage among the business
men of The Dalles. The bank with
stood the panic of 1893, baying been
able to meet all demands made upon
it, and that too without discom
moding any of its debtors, - it
never having been compelled to en
tirely close out a single customer.
The securities of the bank, though
many of them overdue, are considered
good and can be. converted into cash
so soon as the present clip of wool can
be placed on the market. The bank
has successfully carried a large num
ber of sheepmen during the depressing
times of the past few years, when al
most every wool raiser in the country
has been going behind, but now that
the prospects for wool raisers are im
proving, it is quite certain that within
ninety days it could have met the de
mands of every depositor in full. .The
directors of the bank are Z. F. Moody,
Chas. Hilton and G. A. Hogue, all of
whom have largo holdings in real es
tate and personal property, and it ic
expected they will soon be aole to so
arrange matters as to be able to reopen
the bank for ousiness. The suspen
sion of the bank will not affect the
business of the Moody warehouse, as
its business it conducted separately
from the bank.

W. C. T. C. CoCNTT CONVENTION.
HOOD RIVER SELECTED.
The National Guard Encampment Wlil be
Held There.
The Oregon .National Guard will
hold its annual encampment at a site
two mile 3 west of , Hood River, during
the latter part of the month of June
The sito was definitely determined
upon Wednesday by Brigadier-Gen
eral Beebe, commanding the brigade.
after consultation with Governor Lord
commander-in-chief, at Salem.
The site selected is on the Belmont
tract, two miles : west of the town of
Hood Riyer, and it will afford all the
elements of comforts, sightliness, good
sanitation and ample drilling grounds.
An abundant supply of water, conveyed
in an elevated flume from Hood River,
reaches the tract, and arrangements
have been made to conduct it to the
encampment site without additional
cost. There is a fine drill ground,
.1000 feet long and 700 feet wide, for in
fan try drill, and also fine sites for ar
tillery and cay airy practice. Not
many of the details of the encampment
have yet been outlined.' but full ar
rangements will be completed within
another week.
It is estimated ;itha.t.thepe--wnr"be
about 700 officers, and men in camp.
The troops will be transported to the
encampment grounds by boat and rail,
as the time of ..the encampment, six
days, is too limited to allow long
marches to aud from the field. The
general order for the encampment will
be issued in a few; days.
The Dalles Is the Center.
Since the Great Northern Furniture
Store of Portland has opened a branch
here, The Dalles - has become the cen
ter for- furniture), trade in the Inland
Empire. The eytreme low prices at
this branch are wonderful. Furniture,
bedding,. stoves, graniteware. tinware,
hardware, rubber hose, lawn mowers,
and 1000 other things too numerous to
mention, ar selling at such low prices
that it astonishes everybody. There
has been more household furniture
and stores sold in The Dalles since
this firm opened its branch than ever
before. It keeps the hands of this es
tablishment busy from morning to
night packing and shipping goods of
all kinds in -every direction. .People
from far and - near should not fail to
call and get the astonishingly low
prices of this branch house. The peo
ple of The Dalles and 'vicinity have
long been waiting for a house of this
kind, and have at last got it. This
house has come to stay, and will con
tinue to offer goods at such low prices
that will induce people from all sec
tions of the country to come and trade,
for they have already learned, that
The Dalles branch of the Great North
ern Furniture store is the place to get
most goods for the least money. There
is no need of sending east, or to Port
land for furniture, bedding, stoves and
like articles, since this branch meets
eastern and. Portland prices and thus
sayes the customer the freight or ex
pressage.

Elver.
The first annual convention of the
W. C. T, U. for Wasco county was held
in Hood River on Wednesday, May 5,
convening at 10:30 A. M.
The meeting was called to order by
Mrs. L. Bishop, of Hood RiverY county
preBident.aud the forenoon session was
devoted largely '- to- preliminary- ar
rangements and the adopting of a con
stitution. Delegates were present
from The Dalles, Cascade Locks and
Hood River, besides a number of mem
bers of the Hood River union, also
Mrs. Narcissa White Kinney, of
Astoria, state president. .-
When the convention reassembled
in the afternoon, report from the dif
ferent unions were.. presented f and
some time was devoted to their con
sideration. The remainder of the
afternoon was taken up by Mrs. Kin
ney answering queries from the ques-
j tion box, several hours being profitably
vvu ju luuv J ii uivo u a uia ui u
from the questions what the W. O. T.
U. is doing in the state of Oregon.
The routine business of the conven
tion was disposed of during the after
noon, and when the mealing was again
called to order in the evening, Mrs. E.
L. Smith, on behalf of Hood River and
the union of that city, delivered a very
pleasing address of welcome that ' was
responded to by Mrs. W, H. Biggs, of
The Dalles. Mrs. Kinney occupied an
hour outlining the aims, purposes
and' accomplishments of tho W. O. T.
U., and her address was' pronouueed
by all one of the ablest temperance !
talks ever listened to. The evening
exercises were interspersed by music
furnished by the Hood River Glee Club,
and after having adopted the cus
tomary resolutions, the convention ad
journed.
The delegates from The Dalles speak
very complimentary of the hospitality
extended them by the people of Hood
River and especially the ladies of the
local union for courtesies extended
the visitors." Every attention was
shown them that was possible to make
their stay in the city pleasant, and the
M. E. church in which the meeting
was held was so handsomely decorated
as to make it appear a perfect little
paradice. The time and place for
holding the next convention . was not
determined, but will be decided upon
through a conference of the different
unions of the county.
