of building an electric line from The
Dalles to the free bridge on Deschutes
have been in correspondence with
prominent electricians with reference
to the matter, and have learned that a
line can be successfully operated over

necessary is to get the capital together
and begin work.
There is nothing more life-giving,
invigorting, healthful or palatable
than the celebrated Columbia bock

their stay in the city a pleasant one.
In spite of the fact that nothing has

The weather in Harney valley for
the past 10 days has been clear and
cool, and the stockmen have been ac
tive in moving their herds . out onto

of getting them off of the river bottoms
and flat lands subject to overflow, and
economize the expense of longer feed'
ing hay.
A man by tne name or Meeds was
arrested at Hood River yesterday on a
charge of horsestealing. The case was

Fire early yesterday morning de-
troyed four wooden lodging-bouses.
at Spokane. The property of the ten
ants, the houses being filled, were also
destroyed, most of the inmates escap
ing in their nlghtclothes. The loss Is
(5000, fully covered by insurance. The
buildings were owned by the Hypo-
thek bank.
This morning Mr. Schanno brought
to this office a limb of a plumb tree,
that apparently was healthy except
that the leaves were slightly withered,
but under a powerful glass it showed
to be covered with small nites no
larger than a pin point. These little
insects lived off the sap of the leaves
and no doubt were the cause of their
withering.
Cougars are reported to be numerous
near Fletcher's mill, on Weston moun
tain, Umatilla county. One, it is re
ported, walked right into camp re
cently while the men were absent with
the guns and passed through the yard

were playing. They set the dog on it,
and it trotted leisurely away, growling
its displeasure.
Today C. E. Bayard and Frank Wat
kins, administrators of the estate of
Perry Watkins, deceased, began action
for S5000 against the Standard Oil Co.
Several months ago the Oil Co. erected
an oil tank in (he county road leading
to The Dalles, and Mr. Watklns' team
becarae-scared at the tank, ran off,
threw him out of tho wagon, and his
death was the result of injuries sus
tained therefrom. The cause of action
for damage is based upon the above al
legations. Antone Bettingen, of Minnesota, is
here visiting his brother, A. Bettingent
and family. Mr. Bettingen spent the
winter at Los Angeles, and expects to
summer on the coast in this state and
Washington. He is connected with
number of banking establishments in
Minnesota and Dakota, but has retired
from active business, and spends most
of his time traveling. ,
The new bowling alley was opened
last evening under the management of
J. B. Crosson, and the popular sport of
bowling was indulged in until a late
hour last night. The alley Is one of
the best in the ptate, being up-to-date
in every respect, and being handsome
ly lighted affords an attractive resort
for those in need of innocent though
healthful exercise. Under the manage
ment of Mr. Crossen, who is known to
all as the prince of good fellows, the
new alley is certain to become one cf
the most popular attractions in the
city.
Last week seven head of cattle, bo
longing to James Montgomery, who
lives on Crooked river, a few miles
west of Prineville, were drowned in a
peculiar way. The cattle were on a
high piece of ground and the waters of
the river came ud and surrounded the
territory on which they were, thus
placing them on an Island. Mr. Mont
gomery, discovering their situation,
attempted to remove them, whereupon
tbey became frightened, and when
they reached swimming water they
continued to swim around until they
were finally drowned, it being impossi
ble to do anything with them.
The funeral of the late Mrs. Magee
was conducted from the residence of
her daughter, Mrs. Smith French, at
2 o'clock this afternoon, and was
largely attended. Rev. J. H. Wood
delivered a most impressive funeral
address, dwelling at length upon the
joys of a well-spent Christian life and
the hope of a future reward that
brightens days of the believer. He
was assisted by Rey. Mr. Warner in
conducting the services both at the
house and at the grave. The floral of
ferings were most beautiful, and the
last resting place of the aged lady in
Sunset cemetery was given the ap
pearance of a bed of flowers, a place in
viting to the angels to come and claim
the one whose soul had fled to the be
yond. The Water Commission.
The regular monthly meeting of the
water commission of Dalles City was
held Fridsy at the' office of the city
recorder, attended by Commissioners

fund to individuals on real estate or
personal security was brought up, and
consideration was postponed until a
special meeting called for Tuesday,
May 4.

Birthday Party.
Last evening a number of friends of
Mr. Chlpp met at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Hardwlck to celebrate the
anniversary of that young gentleman,
Mr. Hardwick had invited Mr. Chipp
to his residence to assist in "moving
around a stove,' and when tbey en
tered the house they were greeted by
a company of young folks who ex
tended their greetings and compli
ments to Mr. Chipp upon the recur
rence of another anniversary. The
evening was . pleasantly devoted to
playing charades and the old came of
"what are my thoughts like?" which
created abundant amusement. The
pleasures ot tne evening were con
cluded with a dainty lunch, that though
last was by no means the least enjoy
able event of the party. Those present
were Mr. and Mrs. Hardwick, Misses
Ethel and Mabel Riddell, Elizabeth
Schooling, Ethel Deming, Edy the Ran
dall, Louise Ruch and Lolah Ewbank.
Messrs. McElroy, W. S. Chipp, Ed
Hill, M. B. Murohle, F, B, Saunders,

MarSnfleld Water Works System.
H. Grchard has made a proposition
to the town board of Marsh field to put
in a water system, agreeing to furnieh
everything necessary with the excep
tion of the hydrants. He will furnish
the town water for fire purposes at $60
per month, and will sell water to resi
dents at $1 per month. He also pro
poses to buy the pumping plant on
Myrtle street, at a reasonable figure,
and the town board expects to realize
enough from the sale of it to reimburse
it for the expense of putting in the
hydrants. A reservoir to hold 250,000
gallons will be -built -on the hill back
of town, which will give the water a
fall of 200 feet. The proposition is
under consideration at present, and, if
amended to meet the suggestions of
the town board will probably be ac
cepted.
Movements of Sheep.
After shearing is over there will be
a great movement of sheep eastward,
and upward of 100,000 head will be
shipped east from Baker and adjoining
counties.
A number of buyers have been oper

DEFENSES AT FOKT STEVENS.
Some Great Engineering Work lleiog
1 Jo ne Below Astoria.
Go. V. Hamilton, who recently came
up from Portland and the Willamette
valley, met a gentleman who has been
connected with the government work
now being done at Fort Stevens, at the
mouth of the Columbia river below
Astoria, and was given some interest
ing information regarding the char
acter of it, says the East Oregonian.
On account of tho injunction of secrecy
placed on all who have any knowledge
of tho works, the gentleman refused to
give any details relating to the manner
of fortifications being constructed, but
said:
."Few people know how extensive
are the works, and the people of this
region do not realize that the federal
authorities are doing some really great
work from an engineering standpoint,
The question of coast defense has been
a matter of common agitation and the
people have known in a general way
that the United States government has
set on foot operations which are even
tuallv to make the. Pacific coast sea
port towns as impiegnaDle as any on
any ofourseacoasts. Down on the Call
fornia coast already there have been
built some fortilications enabling
corps of gunners with the terrific guns
of modern times to keep away the mas
sive battleships of the best navies
afloat. And at Fort Stevens at the
Columbia's mouth tho government is
now constructing some fortilications
that will be quite as admirable from a
defensive standpoint as any built else
where.
"The engineers in charge do not al
low the men who do the work to re
main any longer than two weeks, but
change the force that often in order
that they may not master the. princi
ples of construction that are being fol
lowed.
"The masonry is massive and the
finest concrete and granite work known
to modern engineering. The work
has been going on for six months or
more, and, when completed, Fort Stev
ens will be as good a defensive point
as any on the coast of the United
Sfates. No visitors are allowed in the
works while the construction is going
on."
End of a Well Spent Life.
Entered into rest, May 2, at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Smith French,
Sally Brown Magee.
Born at Andover, N. H., Feb 19,
1812. The pilgrim feet had trod the
paths ef life 85 years, 2 months and 12
days, but she was not weary or tired,
she ardently loved this life, "This
world, this boautif'il world," and oftor
expressed tho wish to see her great'
grand-son a man.
The descendant of thorough Puritan
stock, she possessed many of the rug
ged traits of the early pilgrim charac
ter. These rugged ways were tempered
by a lively disposition, active imagina-
tion and passionate love for all things
beautiful and true. She loved very
much the young, their society being
preferred to the old, and she would
have been happy to ever have had her
home full af young, joyous life.
Up to her death all current events
interested her, not a mere passing in
terest, they must be discussed, fully
explained; daily inquiry showing she
did not let it pass out of mind. In 1821
her father emigrated to Stanstead,
Canada, where she was married and
her children, a daughter and son were
born.
She loved her Canadian home with a
devotion so deep thai 20 years resi
dence here did not diminish one atom
of her regard. At 22 years she became
a member of tho Wesleyan Methodist
church and as long as life lasted she
loved and enjoyed the usuages, polity
and doctrines of the Methodist church.
The infirmities of the body pressed
her heavily, but with courage and de
termination she firmly resisted their
encroachments. On Friday morning,
soon after rising, she was takeu sud
denly ill and suffered extremely. Af
ter a couolo of hours she cried out in
great distress asking to ba raised up,
in a few minutes she was seized by an
epileptie fit, so passing into uncon
sciousness. The convulsions ceasing,
she passed Into a quiet, peaceful slum
ber which continued uutil Sabbath
morning. On Sabbath morning she
opened her eyes and although speech
less was seemingly oonsoious.her gas.e
following all the movements of her
loqed ones.
A little after 11, the watch saw she
was passing into the "valley of
shadow," there was no struggle, only
a gentle unloosening of the bands of
life, the silver thread parted, the
chariot of God swung down and eter
nal noon burst upon her vision
"Forever with the Lord,
Amen, so let it be."
Only Accidental.
Last Saturday the graduating class
of the high school visited Hood River
and bod a royal eood time, but unfor
tunately their visit to the riverside
city caused the citizens thereof some
discomfort. Our young folks were on
on a "lark," and in their youthful ex-
huberance mistook the supply pipe to
the city water works for a replining
place, and in consequence there was a
crash, that is the supply pipe was
broken down, and Hood River was out
of water for a few hours, until the
break could be repaired. In their ua-
tnougntea moments tney also were
guilty of a bit of carelessness in de
positing the refuse of the noonday
meal In the reservoir ef the water
works, mistaking it for a cash basin
though this act of indiscretion was not
the result of any malice or intent to do
a wrong. The entire party heartily
regret haying caused the good citizens
of Hood River any inconvenience, and
are more than anxious to make repar
ation for all damages.
Fight For Pendleton Tribune.
There has been a fight for possession
of the Tribune newspaper plant in
Pendleton Matters came to a focus
Saturday, Thqrsdqy a chattel mort
gage to secure a note for one day with
out grace, given to W. J. Furnish,
cashier, oi the plant for $2,650.10 was
filed. Saturday was the day set for
the annual meeting of the stockhold
ers of the publishing company. When
they went to the office of the news
paper, the place of meeting fixed, there
was a notice on the door: "In the
bands of the mortgagee. No admit
tance. The meeting was held, how
ever, f urther trouble may be ex
pected. The Mew Women at lnnc; Creek.
" The following from the Long Creel?
Eagle of April 30, Indicates that the
new women has broken out in Grant
county in a rather violent form:
Mrs. Mella Keeney and Miss Sarah
Ivy fought to a finish out on the road
east of town last Saturday. The fight
was the result of ill feeling that exist
ed between the parties for some time. I
Hair, blood and dress goods flew in
every direction, and to tell the truth
it wasn't safe for a man to interfere at
any stage of the sorau. Henry Flood
happened by, and made an effort to
seperate them, but- be was knocked
down and run over, and so badly dis
figured that he left the scene. They
were finally separated by some neigh'
bors who happened that way. The
scrap was a severe one, and while the
two were fairly well matched, the latter
is said to l.itvo come out victorious,
Tho readers of the Eagle no doubt ex
Dect us to de!ore any such conduct,
but it's a free country, and as such of
fenses are r.irely ever punished, we
say let the women light if they want to
fight.
NO MORE TIGHT
GLOVES.
Because
They Give the Band
CKlJ
Shape In Time.
The latest article of wear dear tc
the feminine heart that the health ad
vocates have set the seal of their dis
pleasure on is the tight-fitting glove.
This will be distressing news to many
women who would willingly deprive
themselves of expensive lingerie in or
der to wear gloves that make more out
ward show. Women pride themselves
on exhibiting a neatly-gloved hand al
most as much as encasing their feet in
shoes which are ruinous to the natural
shape of the feet.
Thev are perhaps unaware that worn
en of the stage who pride themselves
on the appearance of their hands when
ungloved, as well as when encased in
costly gloves, do not approve pinching
them with tight gloves. Bernhardt
and Terry, who are famous for the
beauty of their hands and arms, wear
long, loose-wristcd gloves. Miss Ter
ry has a large hand, but it Is propor
tioned to her figure, and she does not
squeeze either into tight compresses,
Next to wearing tightshoes and tight
corsets, the habit of squeezing the
hands into tight gloves is perhaps the
most foolish of feminine weaknesses,
And yet1 interviews with prominent
glove dealers all prove that about two-
thirds of their customers will insist
upon purchasing gloves from one-half
to one full size too small for their
hands, and resent any remarks that the
clerks may make that would suggest
the abandonment of this hobby. " hy,
we are even forced to suggest smaller
sizes, and make delicate remarks about
their tiny hands, in order oftentimes
to secure their favors," one prominent
dealer stated smilingly.
The wearers of tight gloves are not
always ignorant people by any means,
but they are invariably of a vain and
shallow type, who have no regard for
artistic beauty and who are martyrs
when it comes to physical suffering.
For there is certainly, nothing much
more uncomfortable in the way of dress
than tight, squeezing, ill-fitting gloves.
with buttons straining to their ut
most tension and with the palm fairly
bulging out in a mass of almost purple
flash, which has been forced into this
unnatural position.
"Women with very long fingers near'
ly always buy short-fingered gloves,"
the glove seller stated, "and then, when
the sharp.pointed nails have cutthrough
the ends of the fingers, they bring them
back with all manner of complaints and
there is absolutely nothing to be said
if we wish to retain their custom. A
very fine quality of kid is always more
flexible than a cheap quality; conse
quently a lady who wears- a No. 6 in
a one dollar glove can frequently wear
a five and three-quarters in a $2.50
quality, just as one can wear two or
more sizes of .shoes in different makes
and have each fit satisfactorily. It is
mostly large, fleshy women, who per
sist in wearing tight gloves. They have
had small hands originally, before they
gained their superabundance -of adi
pose, and because they wore No. 0
gloves at 18 they insist upon wearing
them at 40; and, although the terrible
pressure on the flesh and blood vessels
makes tne bands clumsy and benumbed,
they will not relinquish this bit of
feminine vanity."
It is a well-known fact that women
who possess the whitest and most beau
tiful hands always wear loose gloves.
To keep the skin soft and pliable the
blood must have perfectly free circula
tion, and this cannot be when the wrist
is encircled with a merciless band of
kid and when thumb and fingers are
cramped into unnatural positions.

THEY SPIN BY HAND,
Old-Fashioned Block Islanders 8f ill Send.
Their Wool Into Connecticut.
The hum of the spinning wheel is sti'
a familiar sound in Block Island, ;
quaint and interesting resort in sum
mer and a miniature world in winter,
in which the habiU. and customs are
those of l."0 years ago. The island is 15
miles off iiie Khode Island shore' and
almost directly south of stormy Point
tudith, ear the Aew.York Herald.
The heads of 30 Block Island families
set sail in fishing boats the other day
una pusaieti up tne TAames river tqUak-
dale, where they left heaps of wool to
He carded into rolls for hand spinning.
The rolls will be spun and knitted into
stockings nnd mittens for the protec
tion or the hardy islanders against the
bleak' winter winds of the Atlantic.
There are times during the winter
when the wind sweeps across the tree
less land at a velocity of 84 miles an
hour, and women take tlieir lives in
their hands when they venture out of
doors. The isolation of the island is
almost complete.
John Schofielil established the first
woollen mill in. Connecticut near Oak
dale, wl;ero-thft eardiDg was done by
power cards. In 1798 the Block Island
ers legan to send wool to the mill to be
carded into rolls, and generatBon of ter
generation have kept up the practice.
Formerly -many bags of grain accom
panied the wool, and grist and woollen
nulls were kept running day and night,
while the f shermen and farmers en
joyed themselves in the quiet Connecti
cut village uatil the work was done.
Expressions ot Appreciation.
William A. Gates wishes to tender
his sincere and hearty thanks to bis
neighbors and friends, who so kindly
assisted in the care of his wife during
her recent illness, and also to Dr.
Sutherland, who so skillfully con
ducted the treatment of her most ob
stinate case. The many friends of Mrs.
Cates will be pleased to know that she
ll as fully recovered from a very severe
attack of pneumonia with which - she
wasisonQned to ber bed for nearly twq
months,
' LuOKUiO BACKWARD.
What The Dalles has lost Through In
activity and LacK or Rustle.
Lincoln said "a house divided against
itself cannot stand" and in the race for
supremacy, for prestige and for power,
a community must stand on the broad
platform of unaminity, or else be con
demned to obscurity and practical ob
livion, so far as being a factor in the
commercial or manufacturing world.
The Dalles, on the map of the United
States as asettlement foroOyears, with
a maguiGcent opportunity to acquire
and hold the trade of an empire has
practically laid down in the race. Year
by year her territory has dwindled,
year by year business propositions that
would have brought a pay roll and
labor, have escaped, and today Port
land has ascended the throne wields
the sceptre and casts the shadow of
her domination over all. TbU has
been accomplished so gradually and
inpercepitably that it is scarcely
noticable, but glance with retrospec
tive eye back for 20 years, sum our case
up, and then submit it to the great jury
of public opinion. Can wc- criticize tho
verdict? The daily press have chroni
cled the building of woolen and scour
ing mills at Pendleton, beet sugar fac
tories on the way at La Grande and
Union, and East Portland is negotiat
ing with a reasonably assurance of
success for a woolen mill. The Dalles
let the shoos slip away with a pay roll
of.thousands of dollars per month;
could not give sufficient to enable a
woolen mill to locate, lot the vast
project of Cascade locks slumber like
Rip Van Winkle for 20 years.
Chicago with a population of almost
2,000,000 'today Is wlllingto give a
bonus, give the land, and exemption
from taxes, to a concern that will in
vest its money, the only requisite be
ing a pay roll.
It is the men who work for wages
that raise property values. Mere boom
ing and speculation is purely artificial.
You must occupy the lots wiih people,
before you can sell real estate. Many
thought the opening of the locks would
b3 the lever that would at once raise
this community to its ancient rights.
It would have given us considerable
prestige, as the Associated press would
have advertised it far and wide; it was
an immense undertaking, but unfortu
nately (and no one knows who is to
blame) the time for the celebration
was fixed right on the eve of a national
election, and the papers were filled with
political news that it was like looking
for a needle in a hay stack for any
thing else. Another opportunity
missed, no one to blame.
Today our trade is being sapped, the
railroad from Biggs to Wasco is in
signlficent, and will not hurt us much,
but you should realize that it is but
the opening wedge, and like the camel
and the tent, will soon occupy and con
trol territory that we now have. We
must not fondly imagine that charity,
friendship and love will hold business.
It Is the lowest rates, and It will all
vanish away from us like the mist be
fore the morning sun, unless measures
are taken to counteract. To control
this trade we must have tho terminus,
be the cost what it will: and what is
$150,000 or even $500,000 compared with
the aggreate amount of trade that i.-.
lost. It takes no prophet to foretell
the result if this line taps the Prine
ville and -ntelopo country. If action
is not taken, our vaunted boast that
The Dalles is the largest original wool
distributing point in the United States
will be but an empty one.
A Portland man said the oiher day
there is an undercurrent cf cliquisra
and faction fighting In The Dalles,
that, like a cancer, is sapping its vital
ity and prevents growth.
That man was entirely wrong on his
last proposition, but there is certainly
Bumeming tn tne air nere tbat pre-
in
vents
intelligent
orgauization and
talnly not a unit in ou undertakings,
or so much would not have slinied
away, through what might be charac
terized as criminal carelessness. If we
have not pride for our town, the oron-
oaition Is, who has? If it comes to
question of advancing its interests bv
acquisition of capital or otherwise, if
we say a gooa word instead of using
the knife of competition because a bus
iness enemy perhaps la influencing- the
deal, would it not be better. Unless
there Is harmony In the oainD. naue-ht
can ne done. Discord breeds trouble,
does not advertise, and is its own
damning criticism of the bad points of
a community. F. H.
