TY ENDEAVORS.
and Interesting Meeting at
Hood River.
annual convention of the Wasco
ounty Christian Endeavor Union met
n regular session at the Valley Chris
tian church near Hood river, on
Thursday and Friday of this week, and
our reporter learns that it was the
most interesting meeting of Endeavors
that the Wasco county union has yet
held. Something over fifty delegates
were in attendance; and all were pos
sesed of that enthusiasm which seem
ingly characterizes every member of
Christian Endeavor societies. Several
addresses were given, all of which
were interesting, including the address
of welcome by Rev. Hershner, of Hood
River, and the address of response by
G. E. Stewart, of this city, also an able
lecture on the life of Christ by Rev. J.

several matters of profit and import

HE GUI HIS MAN.
Sheriff Driver Succeeded la Bringing a
Criminal From British Colombia
Without a Requisition.
Sheriff Driver has returned with
Lewis Boggs, wanted for stealing a
wagon and team from Robert Clark at
Rufus. Mr. Driver located Boggs in
Victoria, B. C, on Thursday afternoon
of last week, and went before the jus
tice of the peace of Victoria, who is a
dignitary of high authority in ' that
city, and requested that he be permit
ted to bring Boggs away without the
formality of applying for extradition
papers, which he knew could not be
issued, as the crime of which Boggs is
accused is not extraditable, but the
court refused to allow such proceed
ings. The sheriff was not to be thwar
ted after having traveled nearly 1000
miles after a man, so he made some
arrangement with the police of Vic
toria to get Boggs onto a boat that
was soon to leave for Tacoma, and suc
ceeded in getting him shipped. When
once on American soil he took the fel
low into custody, and . without the
formality of applying for a requisition
upon the governor of Washington,
proceeded with Boggs to The Dalles.
Boggs does not deny' being the party
wanted, but he protests against the
manner in which he was brought over
from British Columbia. He is a stick
ler for formality,' but since he is in the
custody of Oregon officials he will
likely not be given an opportunity to
return to the dominion of Queen Vic
toria until he has had a hearing in the
circuit court. The woman whom
Boggs took from here was left at Vic
toria, where she will probably remain.

Sheepmen Are Glad That They Can Herd
on the Reserve, But the Glacier Isat.
Recent dispatches from Washington
that there would be no further prose
cutions of sheepmen for herding on
the Cascade fores i. reserve was welcome
news to the flockmasters of Wasco
county, who were confronted with the
certainty of having to go out of busi
ness if not permitted to herd on the
reserve. They felt- that this order
gave them a further lease on life, an
rejoiced that it was so; but the order
has caused some ill feeling among Hcod
River people, who are not pleased with
the idea of having sheep for neighbors
during the summer, and their dis
pleasure is shown in the following
from the Glacier:
The sheepmen . are haying things
their own way under the present ad
ministration. Their flocks will be al
lowed to pasture on the Cascade re
serve. They will come in increasing
numbers to devour the grass on the
range that should belong to the settlers
at the head of the valley. They will
polute our streams and devastate the
foot hills and valleys and leave them
as bare of folhage as a Crook county
sheep corral.. Their herders will de
light in setting fires where thev will
do the most good for the range, and as
they have the government (or Binger
Hermann, who, according to the dis
patches, is the biggest part of the gov
ernment) to back them, they can say to

GRATE RUBBERS JAILED.
The Ghouls Who Stole Millionaire Ladd's
Body Were Captured.
The body of W. S. Ladd, which was
taken from its resting place on Mon
day night of last week, was recovered
Friday, and four of the men who robbed
the grave have baen lodged in jail.
They are Dan D. Magone, Charles
Montgomery, Ed Long and William
Rictor.allof Oregon City, and Mont
gomery has made a confession impli
cating the other four.
The body was buried at Magohe's
Park, a well-known landmark on the
Willamette river, a mile and a half be-
ow : Oregon City. Its hiding place
was cleverly concealed by moss and
leaves, and it would never have been
discovered had not Montgomery weak
ened and led the officers to it.
The apprehension of the guilty
quartet was a alever piece of detective
work, and reflects credit upon the of
ficers who had charge of the case. The
first clew was obtainod from State
Senator Brownell, who reported that
about a month ago young Montgomery
inquired of him if Ladd's grave was
connected by electric wires- with the
police station in Portland. This lead
to the belief that Montgomery bad
some knowledge of a. plot that was
laid to rob the grave and proved to ba
of value to the detectives in extorting
a confession from him.
According to the confession of Mont
gomery the robbers began the work of
opening the grave about midnight and
bad intended to carry the casket away
with them, but broke the lid, so they
took the body out, placed it In a bur
lap sack and carried it to the river,
where it was put Into a boat and taken
i
' to a place of concealment, where it
was deposited shortly before daylight
the next morning.
Evidence is so strong that there is
little probability but the grave robbers
will be convicted, and if they are will
receive the full penalty of the law
which for illegal disinterment of a
body is two years in the penitentiary,
and the destruction of the casket is a
felony punishable by imprisonment, so
they will probably be convicted on two
counts.

Climbed the Mountain Early.
On Wednesday of last week Rev. E.
M. Wilbur, of Portland, and W. A.
Langille, of Hood River, climbed to
the summit of Mt. Hood, making the
ascent from Cloud Capp Inn in little
less than six hours. They stayed but
a few minutes on .the summit, where
the air was warm and comfortable, and
the view in the clear air remarkably
one. The uoiumbia could be seen
from Arlington to Kalama, and Saddle
mountain, south of Astoria, was dis
tinctly seen, also some buildings in
the vicinity of Portland. This is by
six weeks the earliest ascent of Mount
Hood ever made, no one having pre
viously made the climb earlier than
July. There is much less snow on the
mountain than usual at this season,
and the climbing was unexpectedly
easy. The roads are already clear of
snow up to within two miles of Cloud
Cap Inn. "
. This Means Business.
In the town of Rossland. B. C, they
tolerate none of the cut throat rowdy
ism that is so marked a feature in many
new mining camps. As soon as a
rough or a hobo strikes town, he is in
vited out again in a manner that
means, business. The result is that
Rossland is a quiet and business-like
town where one can live in peace and
as much safety as anywhere. Quiet
and comfort are also a marked feature
of the excellent dining car service of
the-Wisconsin Central Lines between
St. Paul and Chicago. Besides this
feature, passengers are loud in praise
of the general ease of travel by this
line and the courteous treatment by all
the officials. For particulars see the
nearest ticket agent or address J. C.

Object of the Tonraament.
The object of the firemen's tourna
ment is to promote interest in the local
fire companies, and thus enlarge the
efliciency of the local fire departments
in their work of saving property.
Those who look upon these annual
meetings as merely a play day lose
sight of the main intent and purpose
of these gatherings. Even if these
tournaments were to amount to noth
ing more than a big annual picnic, the
Gremen would be none theless entitled
V the enjoyment of the same. Every
year the uremen losenore in damaged
clothing while lighting to save prop
erty for others than the cost of the
tournament, and they are entitled to
have this much merely as a matter of
recreation. The Dalles should be glad
of the opportunity to entertain the
volunteer firemen at the tournament
next September, and should spare no
means in providing entertainment for
their guests and rigfing out the local
team to compete with the visitors.

Onarding the Dead.
The stealing of the body of tbe late
W. S. Ladd will probably result in the
temporary establishment of guards at
various graves of the illustrious and
otherwise noted dead throughout the
country, just as tbe robbery of the
Stewart tomb in St. Mark's churph-
yard did years ago. The result will be
ghouls will lie quiet, and nurse other
schemes until carelessness is again the
rule as to watching cemeterres. The
best guarded tomb in (he United States
is the Vanderbilt mausoleum, on Staten
Island, whloh is guarded night and day
by relays of men armed With Winohes-
ters, and connected by wire with looal
and metropolitan police, where they
can obtain assistance and rouse tbe
wifble city of New York at any hour,
