at the July term, instructing the
county clerk to so arrange his office as
to provide more secure care of the
county records, was indeed a good one,
and bas resulted in greater con
venience to the public and to the of
ficials in the office. A large desk has
been put up in the office where the
visitor may stand and examine any
record he may wish to see. Either
County Clerk Kelsay or the attaches
of the office readily bring from the
vault any record called for, place it
on the desk and return it to its place
after the visitor has perused it, thus
savin? confusion, and facilfating the
searching of records.

home in Hood River yesterday, and
will be burled from the Catholic

Those who have the Clondyke fever
real badly ought to spend about au
hour In the cellar, of the Columbia
brewery, where an average tempera
ture of four degrees "above zero is
maintained. Hf so doing they would
get a taste of Arctic weather that
ought to cure their mallady.
Mrs. Harry Hampton, of Portland, la
visiting her sister, Mrs. Hidy, In this
city, while ber husband is seeking ills
fortune in Clondyke. Mr. Hampton Is
a shrewd business man, and If any
thing is to be made in tbe new gold
fields he will be one of the few who
accumulate wealth there.
Up to the present time about two-
thirds of the wool stored at Tne Dalles,
that is about 6,000,000 pounds, have
been sold, and the price realized has
averaged in the neighborhood of 11
cents. The wool is now . being bailed
and shipped as rapidly as cars can be
loaded. . .
Jt may be of interest to many of
those seeking federal appointments to
know that Senator George McBride
will return to Oregon soon, and will
be in Portland on the 15th of tbe
month. It might be politic for those
wanting appointments to Interview
the senator before he returns to Wash'
iogton.
Yesterday Sheriff Driver chanced to
run across Fred MCMaban perambu
lating tbe streets of The Dalles, and
proceeded to put him into Wasco
county's strong box. About a month
ago McMahan escaped from tbe Lid

manager of rue uanes uommission
Co., will leave for Butte, Mont,
with a car load of mixed fruits and
vegetables. Mr. Staddleman Bays his
company will handle a large amount
of green fruit and vegetables this sea'
son, and he hopes by going to' Mon
tana to opeo up a market for Dalles
fruit that has not heretofore boon ob
tainable.
Few casual observers have an idea
of the extent of the Columbia brewery
and Its capacity as a manufacturing
establishment. To judge of Us extent
one must be shown through the cellars,
where are tanks and vats for handling
thousands of gallons of beer In Its dif
ferent stages of brewing, and also
through the warehouses and store
rooms on the second and third floors
It is a big concern, and is Indeed one
of the leading manufacturing establish
ments In the Interior.
Wasco county's fruit crop this year
will probably be the largest ever bar'
vested, and will bring a considerable
amoiint of money into the country.
The shipments of green fruit such as
plums, prunes and peaches will amount
to over 60 cars, the American Fruit
Growers' Union having made con.
tracts to handle 30 cars, and some 30
cars will be shipped direct by growers
Besidesjtbis there will be a largeehip
ment of winter apples, and a consider
able amount of prunes and peaches
will be dried.
Fisherman report this one of the
poorest fishing seasons they have ever
had on the upper river. It is the gen
eral belief among them that the light
catch is owing to the net work of traps
and seins at the mouth of the river.
and also to tbe law preventing the tak
ing or nsri on Sunday not being en
forced. 'If all the selns, traps and
wings were opened on the lower river
one day each week enough fish would
pass through to insure good catches
in this vicinity, but until this is done,
fishing on the upper river will be poor
business.
From Tuesday's Dally.
Judge Bennett and family left this
morning for Clatsop Beach to be gone
two weeks. ' ,
There were two loads of cattle
shipped from Saltmarshe & Go's, stock
yards to Troutdale last night.

greasing, good yields of wheat every
where, and general prosperity among
the farming classes.
Builders here were Informed by ad'
vices from Portland today that glass
had advanced 50 per cent within tbe
past few days. This Is another of the
"good" results of the new tariff.

property to his four children, except
that in Canada, which goes to a sister
with an annuity of $300, and except
36 acres adjoining the Macieay park,
which goes to the sisters of Mercy for
a home for old people.
S. B. Adams, who was out among
the wheat fields a few days ago, says
he never before saw such fine crops as
are being harvested in the vicinity of
Kingsley and Wamic. .The wheat is
all of good quality and Is yielding from
30 to 40 bushels to the acre.
It is renorted that a number of
horses afflicted with mange are run
ning at large on the range between
Five and Ten-Mile creeks, and farm
ers in that section are keeping their
animals in enclosures to prevent their
cdming in contact with the diseased
horses.
There was an immence invoice of
grasshoppers flocked in on tbe sur
rounding country from the East yes
terday. They were full grown, fat
fellows, and came by the million,' but
they arrived too late to do any damage
tr anything except vegetables and
fruit trees.
Messrs. P. C. Snyder and Charles
Arnholt, who have entered into a con
tract with the Times-Mountain eer
for publishing an illustrated edition

here from Portland last night and will
at once begin soliciting patronage foi
the edition.
The state Agricultural College at
Corvallis last week received a bank
draft for $23,000, that being its share
of tbe annual appropriation by con
gress for the maintenance of agricul
tural colleges... Next year tbe amount
of this annual draft will be $24,000. and
after that it will always be $25,000.

land and Walla Walla.
George Johnston, of the firm of
Johnston Bros, of Dufur, is in tbe city
today. Mr. Johnston says most of the
farmers about Dufur are busy heading,
though very little threshing has been
done yet. Most of the threshers will
be running by next Monday, then
wheat will begin rolling into the ware
houses here.
The country is filled with canvassers
who glide from house to house, selling
every imagineable article of domestic
use. It is better to buy of your, home
merchant whom you know is not here
today and there tomorrow. If you will
figure up a few experiences with these
mercantile . Arabs, you will become
convinced that it.is cheaper to buy of
tbe home merchant and by far more
satisfactory.
Messrs. J. G. & I. N. Day, who lately
finished the canal and locks, liave bad
a dozen or so of platform- cars rebuilt
in readiness fcr taking away some at
least of tbe accumulated plant. The
whole of their outfit, it is said, will
make 100 carloads. Engines by the
dozen, huge derricks, ropes and tack
les by the carload form a part of the
accumulation. Just what they, are
going to do with it all depends on
wheher they secure certain contracts,
on which they have bid.
Clarence Berry, the Fresno farmer,
who lately came down from Clondyke
with $85,000 he had mined in the new
diggings, in giving an account of his
hardships m the Examiner, closes with
the injunction: "Nobody should at
tempt the trip who is not in robust
health, and Is accustomed to hard
manual labor. It is ao .country for
bank clerks and others unused to pri
vation. It is a haid trip and only
strong men can stand it."
Thursday afternoon in Albany,
several boys made a baioon of news

French was holding the baioon down,
when the whole arrangement caught
fire from the gasoline, and there was
an explosion. Young French was
knocked over, and his face was badly
burned. .
Superintendent Hubbard reports
that work at the Upper Clackamas
hatchery is further advanced than eyer
before at this date. Tbe taking of
salmon eggs began there July 17, and
by the 28th, 316.000 had been taken.
At least 3,000,000 eggs are expected to
be handled there this season. All the
fish dealt with there passed the lower
Clackamas . hatchery before July- 1,
when the weir at the latter place was
finisned. No roe will be ttfken at the
lower hatchery till September,how
ever. Some improvemetits are beine
made there, such as putting down new
floors and the construction of new
troughs, and the capacity of the hatch
ing bouse will be increased to handle
1,000,000 more eggs. .

A. TRIP THBOITUH THE VALLKV.
Described by Oar Traveling Correspondent
- in Webfoor.
Tanguet, Or. July, 31, 1897,
Ed. Tjmes-Mouhtaineer:
According to promise. I will tell you
of my whereabouts, as I do not want
yon or any of your readers to conceive
the idea that I have gone to Clondyke,
for I have not contracted that popular
epidemic yet.
After the grand lodge of the Degree
of Honor adjourned in Portland on
Friday evening, I spent till Monday in
the city sight seeing, and boarded
the overland train Monday at 6 o'clock
P. M. for Albany. There are a great
many traveling now, and it was with
difficulty that I found a seat. The ride
became monotonous, as the scenery
becomes tiresome, and the only place
that interested your correspondent,
was the Chemawa Indian school. It
was getting dusk when we passed
there, and tbe dark and dusky pupils
were arranged along the fence of the
grounds, all sizes and nearly all colors.
It was amusing to see the many faces
turned toward the train, eager to see
the passengers. The next place of any
consequence was the reform school
This is a fine brick building, and at
night, when all brightly illuminated,
presented a pretty scene. One of our
female passengers, thinking she was
near Turner Station, alighted there
while the train was in motion, and it
created quite an excitement, but after
investigating it was found that she
waa lively aa a cricket, and was none
the worse from her daring "leap in
midair."
We found Albany quiet, but the
weather delightful. The mornings
and evenings so cool and refreshing to
one who had but recently come from
the dry climate of Eastern Oregon.
On Wednesday W. L. Main's great
circus and "wonderful aggregation of
wild animals," made their appearance
in tbe city, and people nocked from far
and near to see tbe "elephant," and
your correspondent had seen the same
in. Portland, but borrowed a "small
boy" for the occasion and joined the
procession.
Many trains of Christian Endeavors
are, and have been passing through,
and at the Albany depot hotel more
than two thousand have been fed.
Seven hundred were fed there in one
day. They will continue to arrive un
til about Aug. 4th.
The farmers are all jubilant over
their good prospects for a bountiful
harvest of grain. In many fields they
are realizing 40 bushels of wheat, to the
acre. Fruit is very plentiful. The
applo trees are bowed to the ground
with ther fruit and garden vegetables
are plentiful and very cheap.
Many people have gone to the dif
ferent summer resorts, and to New
port, the most popular summer resort
for the Willamette valley people.
I left Albany today at 12:30 for this
little berg, which is pleasantly situated
six miles south of Albany on the O. &
C. railroad. It is quiet here, and when
the evening shadows fall, it has the ap
pearance of The Dalles, as there are
no street lights, and the street cars are
also scarce.
Tbe Northern Methodist church has
just had a new bell placed in its tower,,
and "Grandma" Wertz, one of Or
egon's earliest pioneers, was the first
one to ring tbe bell, and for one eighty',
two years of age, the chimes of the
mw bell responded very clearly to her
touch:'
Bro. Douthlt, your writer meets
many old frinds of yours, and all are
anxious to know bow you are prosper
ing, and all questions are answered
cheerfully, but there Is one secret we
will not divulge and that is the good
joke we have on you, which occurred
while you were in Portland attending
the A. O. U. W. grand lodge, but
"mum" is the word. More anon.

FOREST KKSEKVE REGULATIONS.
Sheep May beiHerded on the Ceserve in
Oreeon and Washington.
Under date of July 30th, tbe depart
ment of interior issued a circular cov
ering the regulations adopted for eov
erninir the"' different f crest reserves.
From this circular is copied rule 13,
which affects the reserves in this state
and Washington, as follows:
The pasturing of live stock on the
public lands in forest reservations will
not be interfered with, so loDg a9 it
appears that injury is not being done
to the forest growth, and the rights of
others are not thereby jeopardized.
The pasturing of sheep is, however,
prohibited in all forest reservations,
except those In the states of Oregon
and Washington, for tbe reason that
sheep-grazing has been found injurious
to the forest cover, and therefor" of
serious consequence in regions where
the rainfall is limited. Tbe exception
in favor of the states of Oregon and
Washington is made because the con
tinuous moisture and abundant rain
fait of tbe Cascades and Pacific Coast
ranges make rapid renewal of herbage
ana undergrowth passible. Owners of
sheepjire required to make application
to the commissioner of the general
land office for permission to pasture,-
stating the number of sheep and the
location on the reserves where It is de
sired to graze Permission will be re
fused or revoked whenever it shall ap
pear that sheep are pastured on parts
of the reserves specially liable to in
jury, or.upon and in the vicinity of the
Bull Run reserve, Crater Lake, Mt.
Hood,. Mt. Ranier, or other well-known
places of public resort or reservoir
supply. Permission will also cease
upon proof of neglect as to the care of
fires made by herders, or of the viola
tion by them of any of the forest re
serve regulations.
TO PRKVENT FOREST FIRES.
Heavy Penalties Provided for tbe Punish-
meat of Offenders of tbe Law.
Following is the full text of a law
passed by tbe last regular session of
congress and approved by tbe presi
dent, February 24, 1897, and is entitled
"an act to prevent forest fires on the
public domain:
Be it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives of tbe United States
of America in .congress assembled,
That any person who shall willfully or
maliciously set on fire, any timber,
underbrush or grass upon the public
domain, or shall carelessly or negli
gently leave or sutler fire to burn un
attended near any timber er any other
lnflamable mater'al, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon
conviction thereof in any district court
of the Unite 1 States having jurisdic
tion of the same, shall be fined in a
sum not more than five thousand dol-1
lars or be imprisoned for a term of not
more than twp years, or both.
Sec. 2.. That any person who shall
build a camp fire, or other fire, in or
near any forest, timber, or other ln
flamable material, upon tbe public do
main, shall, before breaking camp or
leaving said fire, totally extinguish the
same. Any person failing to do o
shall be deemed guilty of a misde
meanor. and upon conviction thereof
in any district court of the United
States having jurisdiction of tbe same.
shall be fined in a sum not more than
five thousand dollars or be imprNoned
for a term of not more than one year,
or both.
Sec. 3. That in all cases arising un
dor this act the fines collected shall be
paid into the public-school fund of the
county in which the lands wbere the
offense was committed are situate.
Water Commissioners Meeting.
The Dalles water commission met in
regular monthly session last Saturday
evening at which were present eommig
sioners J. U. Crossed, E. B. Dufur,
Simeon Bolton ami E. C. Pbirman.
The minutes of the last regular

" This being tbe date for electing of
ficers, the following were elected by
unanimous vote of the commission:
J. T. Peters, president; Simeon Bol
ton, secretary; I. J. Norman, superin
tecdent.
It appearing that I. J. Norman had
cashed a warrant for Lewis Richard
son, and that the warrant had been
lost, it was ordered that a duplicate

Another Source of Wealth.
Alaska seems to be an inexhaueta-
ble source of weaUb. The seal fisher
ies, tbe salmon aDd the gold mines
apparently are without limit, aud now
another discovery has been made
there that promise to rival all others
as a wealth producer.
Some month3 ago a lake of almost
pure petroleom was discovered and
samples sent to Seattle for analysis.
The assayer's report on these has just
been made public, and the find is re
ported to be of incalcuable richness.
A company has been formed in Seattle
to handle the product,' and travelers
from there say that the oompany in
tends to put it on the Alasiian market
at once.
The lake is of unknown depth, sev
eral miles wide and five or six in
length, aud tbe quality of tbe petro
leom is said to be of the - finest. It is
fed by springs, and the bills surround
ing it are said to be rich in asphalt.
The lake is only two" miles from the
ocean, so tbat tbe difficulties of trans
portation are reduced to a minimum
It is the intention of the owners of the
lake to take its product right Into the
mining camps of Northern Alaska
wherever the waterways will permit.
An Act of Carelessness.
When the steamer Geo. W. Elder,
was preparing to sail from Portland
on Friday evening of last week, numer
ous small crafts were on the river to
see the departure of the miners, and
among them was one carrying J. D.
Molver, Mrs. A. B. Hammonf, the wife
of a railroad conduction the South
ern Pacific, and hor daughter, a eirl 17
years of age. During the excitement
Mclver carelessly ran hi boat under
the-wheel house of the Elmore, which
had just landed, and when the wheel of
the steamer was reversed the boat was
sucked in under the paddles, tbe two
ladles were drawn ud under the wheel
house.and Instantly killed. Mclver es
caped with slight injuries. The acci
dent was the result of gross careless
ness on the part of Mclver, whose act
was the sheerest -foolhardlness in run
ning a small boat so near a steamer.
The bodies of Mrs. Hammond and
daughter were recovered Saturday
morniDg. -
Are iu Real Earnest.
: At the courthouse Friday night The
Dalles Bimetallic League hold an in

A. S. Bennett, president of the league,
White the attendance was not large,
tbe members present were earnest in
their determination to make blmetal-
lsm tne prominent issue in coming
mampaigns until it shall be established
as a law of the country. No defioite
action waa taken at this meeting look
ing to organization of the bimetalists
of the county, though a committee was
appointed by the president, whose duty
it will be to organize precinct leagues
throughout the county, (composed of
those who are opposed to the single
gold standard. The committee is com
posed of gentlemen who are both active
and earnest, and upon their efforts de

Mr. &orman Re-elected.
At the regular monthly meeting of
the water commission last Saturday
evening I. J. Norman was re-elected
superintendent for a term of two years
by an unanimous vote of the commis
sioners, which is a fitting recognition
of a faithful and painstaking official'
wors. Mr. jn or man nas been super
intendent oi tne water works ever
since they were bought by tbe city
and during the time he has held that
position bas served the city faithfully,
He has extended a careful supervision
over the entire cystem of water works,
and his monthly reports show tbat he
has made close collections, the city
baving lost very little from water rents
being allowed to fall delinquent during
the entire time he bas had control of
the collections, and his re-election will
give general satisfaction to everybody,
Tbey Registered a Kick.

Between Roys.
Iast week mention was made in
these columns of the killing of Horace
Cadle at a dance on Beaver creek, 60
miles southeast of Prineville. Further
particulars of the killing are gleaned
from tho Prineville Review, as follows:
At the Btfaver creek school house-,
on Saturday evening, July 24tb, a
dauce was In progress, and among
those present were Cadle and. Bush,
the boy who did the stabbing. Bush
is only 19 years of age, and had been
in thatsection only about a month, and
as a natural consequence was a target
for some of the smart youngr chaps
On numerous occasions tantalizing re
marks were made to him until he
and four young fellows were mixed up
in a row. Bush backed up in a corner
and held the quartet at bay with an
old jack knife until outsiders stopped
the difficulty for the time.
Finally they went outside the bouse,
when Cadle wanted to fight Bush, and
pulled off his coat to carry out his ir
tentions. Bush protested that he did
not want to fight, when Cadle slapped
him first on one side of the face then
the other. At this juncture they
clinched, and Cadle soon fell with a
knife blade sticking in the side of his
head. . Tbe blade entered the left side
of the bead, one and one-half inches
iu front of the ear, and was driven in
up to the handle.
Cadle waa taken to a farm house,
half a mile away, aod died the follow
ing Wednesday afternoon. During
the excitement Bush disappeared, and
at last accounts had not been captured,
though an officer is in pursuit.
