was offered 121 oenta for his wool clip
last evening, but his price was 13 and
it .was reported this morning that be
obtiined his jirioe, but we could not
' -confirm the rumor.
When you feel blue and poverty-
stricken, just go up to the East End,
as a panacea, and see the six-horse
teams swing up the trail-wagons laden
with wool to the warehouses, you will
wonder where they will stow away
another load, but don't worry at all?

DBEAMUlO OF GOLD.
The Effect of the Clondyke StrUe Ihilleg-
lea Would Like to Go.
"' The general topic of conversation
in The Dalles now is the great gold
'strike in the Clondyke country. In
barber shops, in saloons, in business
offices and on the streets men wre3tle
with the theme and wish they were
young again, or that they wore only
footloose so they could join the tramp,
tramp of the hundreds and thousands
marching fcr the icy cold fields of the
Yukon. In parlors ladies express the
wish that they were only men so they
too, - could hook up in boots and
breeches and with pick and shovel go
gold seeking. Nobody has gone, and
it is not likely that any ono will go
this year, for the 58 degrees down wards
of the thermometer in the Alaskan
winters has a terror for Oregonlans
that eyen the gold fever cannot dispel.
Then too, it is understood to be lm
portant for a prospector to be armed
with ayear's provisions and a thousand
orfoin cash, and thete little items
keep back many a man who would
otherwise oiteh his tent in the far
nortb as soon as the transportation
companies could get him there.
A well-known physician said yester
day: "1 would go at once if I had my
affairs arranged so that I could leave
The opportunities opened there by the
gold strike I am su.e would beat prac
ticing medicine in Oregon. I am not
sure but I shall land there in time for
next summer's work.".
Many a citizen isdoubtles?, like this
physician, building castles in the air;
day-dreaming of the ' treasures to be
dug from the frozen dirt of Alaska
Each, doubtless pictures himse'f the
lucky owner of a bonanza claim and
sees himself snatching up and stowing
away nuggets as big as hen s eggs,
piling up and hoarding away dollars
and dollars of yellow, glittering gold,
and later on coming home with the
boodle the envy and the lion of the
community. Compared with tbese
visions of gain and glory the hum-
rum and .close economies of the pres
ent life are monotonous, and it is no
wonder that many a conservative staid
old citizen bears the news from Clon
dyke and heaves a sigh and a half ut
tered thought, "Oh that I were young
again."

MARRIAGE FOR YOUNG MEN.
Isually the Only Thlnff That Will Make t
Man Save Money.
This is a true story, and one thai
will apply to many other young men
besides this particular one. It is a
groat pity that this is true, says the
Pittsburgh Commcrical Gazette, but so
it is.
A prosperous business man who em
ploys quite a number of clerks said re
cently that he had been led to the con
clusion that the young man who saved
and invested his earnings is-an ex
ception to the rule. He was surprised
to find this to be true. The facts came
out when he began reducing his work-
insr force- as business fell off. The
first to be dropped were those who had
no family depending upon them. Then
it was that they would confess they
hadn't saved a dollar, and had no
means whatever upon which to live.
This same man also observed that
the married men nearly all had saved
something, notwithstanding their
salaries were no larger, and in some
cases less, than those drawn by single
men.
I'-y quizzing these young bachelors
he found that riotous living was the
principal cause of their poverty
Sonic of them gambled on the quiet.
anu otners just naturally let it ro
ri-pit and ef t as long as there was any
to go.
trom this lie concluded that mar
riage ii a very good thing for a young
man, provided he marries a sensible.
practical sort of a woman. Hereafter
he proposes to give married men the
preference because, in so doing, he will
be helping those who are willing to
help themselves.

Last evening about nine o'clock, as
Mrs. J. . E. Andrews and Mrs. Burns
were crossing Second street near
Blakeley & Houghton's drug ttore a
bicycle "scorcher", coming down the
street like a cyclone struck Mrs. An
drews, knocking her down, the pedal
of the machine cutting her ankle so
badly that eight stitches had to be
taken.
- Tne iact tnat sucn things even
occasionally happen, oughc to be
enough to call the attention of the
council to this evil of fast riding on
the street).
There is a. wide difference between
the decent citizen taking a ride on a
wheel - and the easily recognized
bicvcle-fiend scorching along with the
evident idea that the eyes of an
envious public are on his splendid per
formance.
For the protection of pedestrians,
especially children, and is decent
wheelmen, the scorcher should be kept
off the streets. If the present or
dinance is inadequate, make a better
one, for they do this in other cities,
and there is crying need for something
of that sort here. "

Fell Into a Twenty-five root Well.
haggle Maddock, of Condon, bad an
experience last week, which she will
not care soon to repeat, and which, ac
cording to the. Condon Globe, came
near resulting in her death. Miss
Maddock is employed in. the Condon
hotel. A few feet from the hotel
kitchen door is a 23-foot well, with
about eight feet of water. The trap
door or covering was not securely
fastened, end when she steppe.i on it,
quick as a flash she was dropped to the
bottom of the well. As she went down;
she gave a scream, which soon brought
the horror-stricken family to the scene;
also Ed Melson, who promptly went
down after her. He was not a second
too soon, as the fall had stunned her,
and she was almost drowned when he
reached her. Being almost a grown
woman, it required more strength than
Mr, Melson possessed to gt her out,
and Mr. Hyde also went down in the
well, and by the aid of ropes and those
above the half-dead girl was rescued.
Outside of several pretty hard bruises,
she was not otherwise injured.
The Institute, .
Wednesday the class in literature
discussed the life of Longfellow and
his works. This'! is one. of the most
popular classes of the institute. The
book adopted by the state reading circle
is used, and most of the teachers like
it very muph. .The bookkeeping has
accomplished much. The plan as
given by Mr. Landers gives the student
a thorough review of principles, be
sides giving practice by actually
"keeping books." The class has
written up three sets during the two
weeks of the institute. The class in
general history have completed the
mediaeval history, and Thursday and
Friday spend the class time answering
the questions of former examinations
for life diplomas. The teachers were
given -' yesterday a list of questions
from which to prepare for general dis
cussion. Visitors present were, Miss.
Hollister, of Chicago; Miss Wynkoof,
principal of the high school of Mar
quoketa, Iowa, and Miss. Grant of

Mew Tlmecard Coming;.
There seems to be no doubt that the
O. R. & N. Company will soon an
nounce a new timecard, although no
official information has been given out
or will be given at the present time by
any officer of the road. When the O.
R. & N. officials conferred a t-iw days
ago wit l tne Kio urande & Western
and Short Line officials, it was an
nounce! that there would be a new
schedule on the Oregon road, though
what its nature was to be was not told.
Some incline to the belief that it will
be like the one in effect before the
present one was adopted, but no one
yet can do anything but guess at it,
and only time will tell absolutely. It
was said by one railroad man that the
main line train from the East will
arrive here 49 minutes later than at
the present time. This, however, is
not official.

Clerk Lee Moorhouse, of the Oregon
supreme court, Pendleton, received
word Wednesday morning from Chief
Justice Frank A. Moore that the su
preme court justices will oe in Pendle
ton on Saturday, July 31, to hand down
decisions in cases argued and submitted
at the May term in Pendleton. It had
been expected that the court would
not be ready to hand down decisions
in the cases heard in Pendleton before
Aug. 15, and, perhapa.-not before Sept.
1. But the court has hastened in the
matter, and rapidly as possible con
sistent with thorough work, has com
pleted the arduous work. ' Even now,
the handing down of decisions will be
considerably later than in previous
years.
Big Deal In Wheat.

prices in Oregon this season. D. P.
Thompson and Walter Burrell sold
25,000 bushels at 72 cents per bushel,

promptly as possible. 'They will bar-,
vest 175,000 bushels this season on
their farm in Garfield and Whitman
counties, Washington, and Latah

at yesterday's price, and the chances
are fayorable for 80 cents being of

EDITORIAL NOTES.-
How the gold fever is talking hold
of the coast is illustrated by the fol
lowing from The Seattle Times: Seven
teen of of fifty men engaged'upon the
Times were all ready last evening' to
give up everything they had on earth
for transportation to the Yukon and
even a greater number of newspaper
men were agitating the proposition, of
how soon they would be able to set sail
for Alaska. If every department of
businees and trade is as much agitated
over the gold discoveries in Alaska as
is the newspaper business, and all of
them could get away, there would not
be left in Seattle to exceed 75 men by
the close of next week. When, how
ever, the next steamer shall arrive,
with about 150 weather beaten, half
starved gold hungers, who have been
up in that cold region for the last two
or three years and found "nothing"
but hardship the chances are that the
feverish condition which now affects
about 60 per cent of the entire popula
tion will promptly subside.
The season's wheat crop which will
be disposed of at remunerative prices
promises to greatly improve conditions
in this section and make times better
than they are at present. Farmers
and-others who have not. been free
from debt for 10 years are likely to be
able to "equare up" 'and have a balance.
It is uoped tnat those who can do so
will get out of debt and, when once
out, stay out, to the benefit of them
selves and the country. There is
nothing that so contributes to the ar
rogance and enrichment of one man
and the indolence and poverty of nine
men than debt. It is for this reason
that debt making should not be en
oouraged by law under a form of gov
ernment calling itself "democratic, a
government of the people. If It is con
tinued in the future as in the past the
truth is -a people's government 'will
perish from the face of the earth.

but the insurgent chiefs seem to evince
no concern either as to the size of his
army or its whereabouts. Each force
appears to keep out of the way of the
other. This is one of the strangest
wars which, anybody ever read of. Un
doubtedly, though, the insurgents'
tactics are wisg. The Spaniards have
five or six times as many men as the
Cubans, but the rebellion is steadily
increasing in strength.

In Marion county the county court
has refused to pay deputy assessors
ti a day. It i9 discovered there is no
warrant of law for paying deputies $4
a day or any salary whatever. It may
be agreed upon between the assessor
and the county court what the pay of
deputies should be. However, a just
and equitable assessment is more im
portant than per diem of deputies, but
such it seems ' we cannot have. In
Linn county the assessor demanded 13
a day for deputies. The court offered
him $1.50, which was all he had offered
to pay his men. The assessor em
ployed lawyers, but they could find no
law. So he concluded to take $1.50 a
day and did so.
With a large crop of wheat at home
and a small crop abroad, the con
ditions appear to be very favorable to
the American farmer. The farmer,'
like the worker in most other fields,
has been hit-hard by tbe industrial
stagnation of the past four years, but
but better times for bim and them are
at hand. The improved agricultuial
outlook is one of the most encouraging
features of the general. business situation.
The fact that Gomez's army can go
with entire safety to within a few
