In J89J. the state pf Oregon brought
suit against Baker county for back
taxes amounting to about $14,000.
After five years of H-Igatton, . Referee
pteme court, has rendered his findings
to the effeot that Baker county must
M.VJ41 but about 63000, barred by the
r-.r -- '
statute of limitation. This is a costly
result for Baker county, when the ex"
pqne of this lengthy litigation is taken
Into consideration,' and further when
the amount of interest that will ascriie
to the state before this judgment is
finally paid off la figured In. Baker
county would better have paid without
all this trouble and expense. '
There ar$ hundreds of people in The
Dalies and vicinity who are anxious, to
bear W. J. Bryan speak, though the
opportunity will not be extended to
them unless they go to Portland or
Pendleton. He will speak in Portland
on the 12th and at Pendleton on the
13th. If 150 persons will agree to go
to Portland on that occasion the O. R
& N. Co. will run a special, and ar
rangements can be made for a special
to Pendleton, but the rate will be
about $4. It is suggested that the
Bryan club take the matter in hand
and ascertain what arrangements can
be made for attending the speaking in
one or the other of these places.
1 Serious trouble is expected between
the settlers and ' sheep men in the
northern part.of Grant county. The -j
settlers do not propose to have their
fence corners eaten out by nomadic
flocks, and they gave a forcible dem
onstration of this determination on
Indian . creek one day last week.
Twelve of them met a band of sheep
belonging to Asia Thompson, of Mor
row county, and fired on them, killing
about 200 head. More trouble Is ex
pected, and unless the Grant county
authorities interfere, bloodshed may
result.

The Convention Continues With Incej
Ins; Interest.
AWAKING TO BUSINESS.
When a person is loosing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothing so worries a physician. Con
sumptives would never die ' if they
could regain their usual weight. In
fact there would be no consumption
if there were no wasting of the system.
The cause of this loss of flesh is a
failure to propealy digest the food
eaten. Nine-tenths of all our diseases
date back to some derangement of the
stomach. '
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
stop this wasting of the body. It acts
by causing the food we eat to be
digested so as to do good, for un
digested food does more harm than
good. The Cordial contains food al
ready digested and is a digester as
well.
The Dalles Preparing; to Bnlld a IJne of
ICailroad Into Sherman County.
Wednesday night a meeting of The
Dalles Commercial Club was called for
the purpose of devising plans, for en
couraging trade to come to this place
and to offer inducements for the people
of surrounding counties to make this
their principal shipping point. As a
result of the meeting initiatory steps
were taken to build a railroad from
The Dalles reaching into Sherman
county and points to the south and
east. v
The question of a road from here lo
some point on the Deschutes that
would be accessable to I the wheat
raisers of Sherman and wool grow
ers of Crook was fully discussed,
and much earnestness was shown
by the members of the club.
The matter was referred to the com
mittee on transportation, composed of
Messrs. A. S. Bennett, J. W. French,
H. Glenn, W. Lord and E. E. Lytle, to
which was added Messrs. T. A. Hud
son, N. Wheal ion and T. J. Seufert.
The committee was instructed to in
vestigate the different proposed routes,
and report upon their practicability
also upon the advisability, of causing
preliminary surveys made.
If a practicable route is found, it is
proposed to interest private capital in
the building of a narrow gauge road
from The Dalles to some point either
in Sherman county or on the Deschutes
that will be accessable to the farmers
of the country south and east of The
Dalles. From the enthusiasm shown
at the club meeting it appears that
there will be no difficulty, in getting
the necessary means for building and
equipping the road.

Rev. It. Gray lat ee.nlng. Refresh
ments' were served and everything wt.s
done to make it a success. The occa

presented with a very handsome pres
ent in behalf of the anqleCy. J; is re
ported that every one bod a good tim.
Wishing Mrs. Gray many more happy
birthdays, they departed, each one
realizing that they had spent a very
pleasant evening.
The attendance at the afternoon ses
sion of the Association on Tuesday was
large, and geat interest was manifest
in the work, both by the audience and
those taking an active part. The pro
ceedings of the convention were as
follows:
Further discussion developed the
great need of a field worker. Moved
that the matter of the field worker be
referred to the executive committee
with power to act.
Reading the letter from G. H- Hines,
to the secretary in regard to the work
in Clatsop and Jackson counties, simply
empathized the need.
At 1:30 P. M. there were conferences
of the superintendents, teachers and
primary workers lea by E. Peeples, A.
TJ. Bannard, and Mrs. E. W. Allen,
these conferences for the purpose of
comparing notes In the various lines of
work and were very be!pful.
At 2:15 devotional services was led
by Rev. C. A. Nutley. then came re
ports of departments of work. Report
of the home department was made by
Rev. C. C, Poling, of Portland. When
ho took the work there was onlv two
home classes in the state: there have
been four classes organized. This
home class is intended a take in those
who" cannot for any reason attend tho
regular Sunday school, travelers, rail
road and steamboat men, eyery em
ployee who has to. work on Sunday and
ail invalid and busy people, etc.
The report on primary work by Mrs.
E. W. Allen, of Portland, was very
inteiestlng, as Mrs. Allen's work air
ways is. A year ago there were two
primary unions, now there are four
with a prospect of several more at
points where prelimnary work has
been done. Mrs. Allen in her report
gave an idea of how the union works
and how the meetings are carried on.
House to nouse visitation, by letter
from Rev. G. A. Blair, of Portland. He
asked that a superintendent of the
work for each county be named at this
convention and reported to mm bo
that he may be able to push the matter
through some responsible person in
each county. Discussion brought out
how the work is done.
"Progressive Methods" by D. D.
Oliphant, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, of Portland, interested and
instructed the convention.
A letter from the W. C. T. TJ. of the
state of Oregon, was read by Mrs.
French, also a letter from Gov. Taylor,
of Tennessee, inviting the convention
to attend the exposition at Nashville.
Question box was conducted by Rev,
G..W. Gue, D. D.
Election of officers was beta ana re
sulted as follows: President, Wm.
Wadhams, Portland, Or.; 1st vice

urer, D. D. Oliphant, Portland; sup
erintendent of departments, state
primary, Mrs. E. W. Allen, Portland;
state normal. F. R. Cook, Portland;
state home. Rev. C. C. Poling, Port
land; house to house visitation, Rev.
G- A. Blair, Portland. Recommenda
of the committee that a new depart
ment, that of intermediate work be es
tablished was adopted and Mrs.
Emanuel Groom, of Portland, was
elected as superintendent, thereof. '
The evening session was consumed
by the address of Rev. Ray Palmer,
whose subject was "Is This Old World
Growing Brighter," and that by Rev.
E. P. Hill, on the subject "Unseen
Helpers." Both gentlemen are forci
ble speakers, and possess the faculty
of retaining the undivided attention
of their hearers. Each address was
an able effort, and was listened to with
marked interest by the large audience
in attendance.
The conyention opened this morn
ing at 9:30, and a model Sunday school
was organized, Prof. R. R. Steel, of
Portland, acting as superintendent.
There were 13 classes, with 107 mem
bers in all, and the session was con
ducted as a regular school, beginning
with opening exercises, then the
regular class lessons, during which
time a collection of $3.25 was taken,
and closing exercises, including a re
view by the superintendent. This was
followed by a discussion of the methods
presented for conducting a Sunday
school, that was instructive in that it
impressed upon the minds of those
present the systems presented by the
superintendent and teachers.
Next Revs. " Travis, Winans and
Hughes, of the Sunday school mission,
submitted a report from the field work
being prosecuted by the missionaries.
It was shown that there are over 130,
000 Sunday schools reported bj the In,
ternational Sunday School Associa,
tion, and that the officers, teachers
and children aggregate 12,286,600,
The report also states that there are
as many children outside Sunday
schools, who are receiving no religious
training, as there are attending
schools. -. -
Rev. Hughes gave an interesting
account of bis labors in the destitute
districts of Eastern Oregon, which he
illustrated by means of maps.
- The af teanoon session of the Sunday
school convention Thursday was the
most interesting and beneficial of the
entire meeting, and brought out a
large attencjrce. ''
The work of the-afterneon covered a
oontlnuance of the superintendents'
conference begun in the morning, and
was led by G. F. Billings. Mr. Bill
ings is an accomplished normal teacher,
being the state superintendent of
normal work, hence the systems pre
sented by him were ' helpful to the
teachers present. His resentition of
heprtes was followed by anormal' les
son with blackboard illustrations en
titled "works of a good school,'1 by J.
KGroom. This was the only norraajj
lesson of the session, and wag carrjeld
Dalles for the hearty welcome ex
tended to the members of the conven
tion and tbeir generous .hospitality in
entertaining the delegates.
"Third, to the papers of the city for
kindly and correctly reporting the
proceedings of the convention.
. "Fourth, to the O. R. & N. Co. and
the D. P. & A. N. Co. for granting the
reduction in fares to persons attending
the convention.
"Fifth, to the various speakers who
addressed the convention, for tbeir
able and helpful addresses. '
"Sixth, to Mr. Wm. Wadhams, who
led the singing, the ladies who pre
sided at the organ, and all others who
took part in the proceedings for their
efficient and highly appreciated ser
vices.
"Seventh, to the retiring officers to
whose faithfulness in the discharge of
their duties the efficacy of and success
of the association is largely due."
This completed the business of the
association, and the evening session
was consumed by an able address by
Rev. A. W. Ackerman. of. Portland,
the subject of his remarks being "The
Authenticity of the Bible." Mr. Ack
erman's address was indeed a master
piece of thought and expression, his
delivery was perfect, and the discourse
was a fitting closing of a most success
ful and profitable meeting or the asso
ciation's seventh annual convention.

THE WOKR OF FIENDS.
A Large Number of Wasco County Sheep
Poisoned at Spokane.
About a month ago Chas. P, TJ'Ren,
of Ridgway, started to White Earth,
N. D., with 4,500 head' of sheep, and
made tho .first run from' here to Spo
kane, where he took his' 'sheep off the
cars for the purpose of feeding. The
sheep were in good condition when he
uncarred them at Spokane,' and were
left in corrals over night. The follow'
ing morning Mr. TJ'Ren took the sheep
to the range near by to be fed, where
they showed signs of being sick. Be
fore he got them on the oars again 177
died, and on reaching Cutbank he
found that he had lost 1,500 head.
Mr. u 'ten sent tne stomacn oi one
of the dead sheep to the state agricul
tural college at Corvallis, and the con
tents were given to Prof. Fulton, of
the chemical department, for analysis.
The professor discovered large quan
tities of saltpeter, sulphate of potash
and common salt, and reported that
the saltpeter did the poisoning, the
other ingredients having been mixed
with the poison to cause the sheep to
eat it with better relish.
Mr. TJ'Ren arrived here yesterday,
and expresses the belief that the poi
son was put into the corrattho night
the sheep were unloaded at Spokane,
He and his men were very tired when
they reached that place, and retired
immediately after the sheep were
taken off the cars, hence did not look
after them closely. His theory is that
ranchmen about Spokane are opposed
to having sheep pastured on the adja
cent ranges, wnen tney are unioacea
there for the purpose of feeding, and
have adopted this plan- of destruction
as a warning to shippers.- '
The act is a most cowardly and con'
tempt ible one, and should be severely
punished, though having been done in
the derk.it is not probable that , the
guilty parties will be detected.

experience of an Angler lit the
Mountains
On Thursday of last week the writer,
accompanied by J. A. Fawsett, started
on a fishing excursion on rather "seek
ing adventure" under that guise.
Mr. Fawsett haying an intimate ac
quaintance with the mountains, by
reason of a former servitude to a flock
01 sbeep, determined that to reach
Badger in time to have fish for supper,
it would be necessary to go by way of
Cedar swamp, and the head of Jordan
creek; so after a lively drive of 16 miles,
we wore told we had arrived at Cedar
swamp, though to the eye no swamp
was visible, no cedar in sight. Instead
we were on a rocky ridge or backbone
of the universe, with here and there a
fir or pine, neither of which suggested
swamp. Now and then a lonely mos
quito, wandering from his native
groves ana birth place, with his per
suasive hum presented his bill, that
in more than one instance was honored.
Here on this lonely ridge we trans
formed one of our good steeds into a
sumpter-horse and soon were on our
way to a pass in the mountain, marked
by a snowy ridge. Logs, brush, rocks
and up hill, were the obstacles to over
come.
But thanks to Mr. Fawaett, whose
knowledge of the route was as good as
need be, we were in due time at the
summit between Jorden and Badger.
Here we had a view of singular beauty.
Though Jordan bad been a hard road
to travel, going up, we found Badger
fully worse going down,' more logs,
more brush and a distance of no in
considerable length.
Keoching Badger at a distance of
anywhere from 6 to 9 miles from the
lake, we determined to feast on fish.
Of course the fish were in the water,
but we had prepared to take them out.
So with hook and line and pole we set
forth full of confidence, more perhaps
than the tariff bill is inspiring, to have
said confidence only in part sustained.
I be Hsh bit a little, so little that it
must have consumed nearly three
hours to catch 25. Hero Mr. Fawsett's
hurry was oyer as ho had made his
promise good, that we should have fiah
for supper.
The trail up. Badger comes as near
being the devil's as anything you may
ever try to follow. In some places the
whole earth appears to he honey
combed with badger holes, into which
your horse breaks; mix these up with
logs and brush and plenty of water and
gore, If you get into them you are in a
muss.
Badger, sometimes cilled Fish lake,
is bear the west line of Wasco county,
nearly ten miles southeast of Mt. Hood.
A sharp divide separates it from Hood
river to the northwest, and another
separates it from the waters of Gum gu
wack to the northeast.
This lake has long been noted as the
home of that celebrated fish known as
mountain trout. We have fished in
the lakes and streams of several of the
central northern states of our union,
but nowhere have we found fish so
abundant or so readily taken. '
At the lake we wpre joined by the
Craft brothers, Ed and Joe. These
young men are engaged for the season
as packers in the mountains, and ap
pear to be perfectly at home in all the
duties of the business.
At the' lake fishermen adopt two
plansof getting in position to fish; one
is to get on tk raft and float about in
the lake, the other is to flsh from the
shore or walk .out on such logs as. are
anchored to the land. We followed
the last method as we had no desire to
get wet or to have our feet continually
soaked. . .
To illustrate the ease with which the
fish may be taken, ona little inoldent
will suffice. My primitive outfit would
nqt admit of a fish basket so after
oatching a fish and landing it I would
return to my stand to fish, which of
course everyone would say must be as
far out in the waters of the iake as I
could reach, landing a fish by accident
my hook dropped into the water close
to the shore, not more than three or
four feet from where I was standing,
recovering the hook as speedily as pos
sible I was in possession of another
fine trout.
I am told that in a short time these
fish get wild o the conditions of feed
change, so that the fisherman may see
thousands of them scudding away but
oannot by any lure induce them to
bite.
However, we struck it rich, and shall
never forget nature's abundant pro
vision of excellent fish bad for the tak
ing when we were at Badger lafee.
Ours was a genial crowd aa we wendod
our way out by the way of the rid?e be
tween Badger. Hood rlyer and Fifteen-

Some evenings since, just as the O.
R. & N. No 1 was pulling out of the
station at Walla Walla bound for
Spokane, relates the Union, a man
rushed up to the porter and placing a
baby in his arms stated breathlessly,
"la.ee this baby to Spokane. Some
one will meet you at the depot there to
get it." The astonished porter took
the baby and the man disappeared in
the crowd. At Spokane a man came
forward' as the train, pulled in and
made inquiry for the baby. He signed
the same "Phillips" to the porter's
note acknowledging the receipt of the
child. It developed later that the
child was to be adopted into the family
of a rich Spokane couple and that
"Phillips" was enriched $30 for pro
curing the child. The child's identity,
here is not known. The train men.
