An instance of the extreme length
to which the contract system is carried
out by the federal e overnment is evi
denced by a notice posted in the post-
office at Spokane. Bids are asked for
the shoeing of two government and
one private horse. The bids will be
opened Jnne 5rrhe government re
serves tbe right to reject any and ail
bids. The notice is issued through
the constructing quartermaster in
charge of the army, post, Captain W.
H. Miller. .
The business done by a postofflce is
always a gauge of the business trans
acted by tbe place in which the office
is located, and the business done by
tha postofflce in The Dalles during the
past year shows an increase oyer that
done the year previous, indicating that
The Dalles is improving in a general
way. Postmaster Crossen has just re
ceived the accepted report on his oESce
for the year ent ing March 31, 1897, and
it shows an increase of $102 over that
done the year before, there being an
excess of $307 over that required to en
title a rating of a second-class office.

Maier & Benton are not the class of
business men who hide their light
under a bushel, but believe in putting
it out where it will shine, as is
evidenced by the attractive bicycle
sign in front of their store. It is a fair
representation of the class of bikes to
be found within their establishment,
bikes that never cease going or worry
the rider.
After deliberating 13 minutes last
evening the jury before whom Venz
Bauer was tried returned a. verdict ot
not guilty. The verdict of the jury
meets the approval of all who heard
the evidence in the case. From the
evidence produced it was shown that
the chart e of rape was t rum pea up
against Bauer, and that he was inno
cent of the crime.
Mr. Schanno has within the past
few days inspected a large number of
orchards in' different parts of the
county and reports an excellent crop
of all kinds of fruit except apples. The
weather has been too warm for apples
to do real well, still there will be a fair
apple crop, though not so good -as It
would have been had the weather re
mained cooler. . . -Yesterday
forenoon Henry Boyne
had rather an exciting experience at
White Salmon. He left here on the
Regulator headed for Camas prairie to
buy beef for the Oregon market. When
he got off the boat at White Salmon,
his horse refused to be ridden, after
having a comfortable ride on the boat,
and when Henry mounted him, sat in
to bueking like a genuine mustang.
After bucking over half an acre of
ground. without dismounting his rider,
he headed for the river and plunged
in. Henry staid with the horse until
he sank out of sight, then struck for
shore. The horse finally drowned but
Mr. Boyne fished him out and recov
ered his saddle
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
invented a great many valuable things.
They were the first to make brooms by
machinery; the first to put up seeds in
little packages; the first to manufacture
cut nails.
Now they are out with a method of
curing dyspepsia by . resting the
stomach. Their remedy is known as
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. ' It sup
plies food - in an artificially digested
form and at the same time aids the di
gestion of other foods in the stomach.
In other words, by the yxso of the
Shaker Digestive Cordial, a dyspeptic
virtually gets along without the use of
his stomach until it is restored to its
natural strength and vigor. A single.
10 cent bottle will oft-times give
marked relief. - Get a bottle from your
druggist and try It. :

Fossil collections gathered in old
lake beds of Eastern Oregon demon
strates that the broad plains between
the Rocky and the Cascade mountains
were the original habitat of the pre'
historic horse a fleet little animal
no larger than a fox, which in the long
ago scampered over the lonely land.
After the lapse of ages, the modern
horse is now to degenerate upon the
stamping ground of his ancestors.
The cayuse has become so valueless by
the invasion of the electric car and
the bicycle, and the disappearance of
the stage coach and the wagon train,
that the halter has been taken from
his neck and he has been turned loose
to struggle with nature for his own
subsistence. Over this section many
thousand head of wild horses now roam
as untrammeled as in prehistoric days.
and during the past winter those per
ished in large numbers.
It is a case of the survival of the
fittest. Tbe cayuae, like the red man
may read his doom in the setting sun
but the we' 1 bred horse can still look
civilization in Iho faeo and demand
shelter and oats in abundance.
American - horses are increasing
demand in England. - During the first
nine months of 1896, 34,642 head of
horses were shipped from the United
States to that country. Shipments
from Canada- are also increasing,
while shipments from the continent of
Europe are falling-off. "It may' now
be safely claimed," says the secretary
agriculture, "That the United
Kingdom looks to America for all the
horse supply which she once purchased
principally from Germany."
These horses are bought for omnibus,
street railroad' and cab services, and
for the use of traders who keep drays;
vans and carts for the collection aad
delivery of goods. The . strongest
recommendation for American horses
is their staying qualities their powers
of endurance. Horses suited to cab
work bring from $55 to $100. A better
class of animals commands readily
from $125 to $150.
The American draft horse has high
standing in England, being regarded
as of better action and life than most
of the native breeds. During the sum
mer of 1896 these animals have sold as
high as $250 to $280 per head. Spokesman-Review.

The prune crop will be small in the
majority of orchards, though in a few
localities, for unexplained reasons,
a fair crop will result. Cherries are
ripening and they are not a full crop
though some varieties of trees are as
well filled as they should be. The
peach crop now promises to be good;
hand pruning in the southern counties
has been commenced. The apple and
pear crops will not, as a rule, be full
Owing to the variation in reports, it is
not possible to particularize where the
fruit promises well and where not; but
it is certain that, taken as a whole, tbe
prune, cherry, apple and pear crops
will be larger than in 1896, but not e'o
large as in 1895.

A Belle of Antiquity.
There is hanging in the Umatilla
House office, a cane that evidently has
a history connected with , it, judging
from the label that is attached thereto,
on which is inscribed "Compliments
of Geo. Francis Train" and "This cane
was used by Col. N. B. Sinnott in
walking across the Columbia on tbe
backs of salmon in the early days of
1800 when sa'mon was plenty, and was
used for a balance pole." ' . " '. '
The' cane shows undisputable evi
dences of age, and from appearances
might have been the staff which Noah
used to prod the animals in the ark
during pre-historio times, for it is
weather beaten and moth eaten. Col.
Sinnott refuses to be interviewed re
garding the stick, but when asked if
he really used the staff in 1800 re
marked: "Young man, just gaze upon
my silvered locks and then judge if I
don't know something of the world 97
years ago."
Educated Timlin Lost His Job.
Louis Williams, an educated Indian
of notoriety, arrived in Lewiston last
week and repaired to the agency. He
passed a civil service examination and
was elated for a clerkship in the Lew
iston land office last winter. A va
cancy recently occured by the resigna
tion of Linton Lewis, who was assigned
a good position on the Atlanta Consti
tution. . But when the Indian applicant
for tbe position was found by those
who had the honor to bestow he was
in jail in Pennsylvania for forging the
name of the Smithsonian institute.
This indiscretion lost to the aborigine
the opportunity of preferment in tbe
future. The Indian bureau, however,
espousod the cause of Louis . Williams
and he was discharged with a repri
mand. He ia now at home with . his
people. He is npt a hero there as he
was in the east. His people and. the
white men in authority on the reserva

Though None Are Seriously Injured,

The scholars of the Long Creek
school were subjected - to a severe
fright Tuesday afternoon during the
electric storm, says the Eagle. When
the storm was at its height lightning
struck the public school- building, or
so uncomfortably near it, as to break
out window-panes and severely shock
several scholars.
Those to feel the shock most effectu
ally were Elmer Slavin and a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Scroggin; the latter
being shocked into unconsciousness
Elmer Slavin, is is said, bears the mark
of the lightning on his right leg, but
fortunately his injury was not of
-serious nature.
Irroiessor .tsonham attempted to re
assure the scholars, but no sooner had
they recovered their wits sufficiently
to realize how near some of them had
come to being struck, than pandemo

Manifesto. :. .
' To the people of Wasco county: For
the reason that we have no official or
ganization, and having been appointed
and commissioned by the national of
fice of "The Patriots of America," to
form organizations looking to the
unity of the populists, democrats and
silver-republicans, who favor a union
of all that are opposed to the single gold
standard, and who are opposed to "the
disgraceful farce now being played by
a degenerate congress, which no longer
represents the people, and that too in
a called session made to fool those
who have been already fooled by the
promise of prosperity.
I therefore, call a preliminary con
vention at Dalles oh June 19, 1897, at 1
o'clock p. M., to which convention
delegates are invited from each pre
cinct in the county. The purpose is to
perfect an organization. ' . .-
United, we can redeem the state of
Oregon from the men that now alleges
to govern it, and give to the people
the reforms that are so urgently needed
and so persistently refused by the mod
ern republican party.
United we can elect a legislature
that will not stand in the shadow of
any man. United we can elect the en
tire county ticket and protect the
county from the political bossism from
which it ' has so long suffered. We
therefore request all citizens of Wasco
county, with 3ut regard to party, who
are opposed to the single gold stand
ard, and the international argument
farce, and who oppose bonded debt,
and who oppose the national banking
system, who oppose the decision of the
supreme court in the income - tax law,
and all who favor a complete and com-,
pact union of all the reform forces in
Oregon to meef In convention at The
Dalles as above sugested, to take such
action as in council the convention
may deem wise and prudent for the
public good.
. Very respectfully submitted

THE CITY FATHERS.
The Crop Outlook.
The weekly crop bulletin issued by
B. S. Pague of the Oregon climate and
crop seryice says: .Fall and winter
sown grain are growing rapidly and
they will make . good crops, even
though more rain does not fall; they
are heading and a fair crop is assured,
but it would be improved by rain.
Spring sown grain, and especially that
sown after May 1st, is badly in need of
rain; much of it will not yield over ten
bushels per acre, unless rain falls.
The hay crop is fair. Alfalfa is being
cut; clover is in bloom and will be
ready to cut within ten days. A good
rain would be of great benefit to the
bay crop. The garden truck is grow
ing nicely; it appears to withstand the
dryness much better than the field
crops. Peas, beans, and early potatoes
are in bloom. Gardens are, as a rule,
very prolific and they promise well
this year. Hops are growing rapidly;
they are being trained onto the cross
arms. The present appearances indi
cate excellent hop crop. Corn is grow
ing rapidly and doing much better
than usual. Strawberries are ripening
rapidly; they are a full crop and of
good size. Blackberries and -rasber.
ries are in full .bloom and promise a
heavy crop.. : ;
The. fruit prospects are .difficult to
determine. The. prune crop is in some
sections reported to be full, in other
sections it is reported to be small.

Trout For Propagation.
Game protector, Hollister D. Mc
Guire writes that he has been promised
by the U. S. fish - commissioner a
consignment of Eastern brook trout
for stocking the waters of the' state.
These fish are ' great favorites and
would be valuable '''additions to the
finny tribes in the streams of Oregon
If there Is suitable 'water near The
Dalles, Mr, McGuire will endeavor to
have a part of the consignment planted
here. To determine the adaptability
of the water to these fish, it is neces
sary to have folio wing the information:
Name of streams, location, area and
depth, temperature of water and what
kind? - What other fishes are in the
streamy? What shade is there along
tbe shores? . Parties - Interested in
stocking the adjacent- streams with
Eastern brook trout are requested to
send th above information to Mr.
McGuire at Portland. '""
that no action had been taken with
reference to labeling streets and num
bering houses, and recommended .that
the matter be deferred for the present,
owing to the stringency of money.

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 Chicagq. Besides . this
feature, passengers are loud in praise
of the general ease of travel by this
lino and the courteous treatment by all
the officials. For particulars . see the
nearest ticket agent "or address J. C.
Pond, G. P. A., Milwaukee, Wis., or
