The Crooa of Ireland Are Haloed and

The New York World's special cor

and finds anvthinff but a favorable
condition existing. Rains have pre

was un usually short, and indications
are that there will bo trreat suffering

coming winter.
From Mullinarer. one of the most
prosperous parts of the midlands, a
correspondent telegraphs:
"The crops are now irretrievably de
stroyed. It will be impossible for the
farmers to make anything of their
cereals this year, as they are quickly
rotting. In the churches a prayer for
fine wfathor was recitfd. and if a
change does not coma immediately,
the crop might as well be left to
manure the ground."
From county Wexford, noted as one
of the richest In the country, the tid
ings are:
'The green crop miy be described
as a gigantic failure in county Wex
ford this year. Tne greater part of

THE MATTER OF FERRIAGE
A Liberal Offer Blade by Mr. Curtlss of the
Diamond Mills.
Ed. Times-Mountaineer:
The Dalles. Or., Sept. 7, 189;
Will you please correct a mistake in
your issue of the 5th, where you state
that wheat teams are charged $1.23 for
crossing the Rockland ferry and 75
cents to return empty. The fact is, $1
is ail that is charged for a round trip
of a four-horse team, and 75 cents for
a round trip of a two-horse team, which
gives the advantage for cheapness to
the Rickland ferry. This is all that
has been charged for several years
(when it cost the team anything to
cross).
The writer has been in the habit of
giving grain teams a free pass, with
money from his own pocket, which has
not been appreciated by the town
owners. You will find by investiga
tion that the price of ferriage is not
all the cause of business going to other
points, bad roads and jealousey figure
much in the matter.' The former
might '.be overcome by a little enter
prise and the latter by a little brother
ly love, which are ingreedients rather
difficult to obtain in these parts.
While this matter is being aired, I
would like to make an offer through
your valuable paper, which is this: I
am the owner of four-tenths of The
Dalles & Rockland ferry, which has
cost me about $2000, and if Dalles City
or any other responsible, company will
bind themselves to maintain a good
steam ferry for five years at this point
free for all that wish to cross, I will
giye them all of my stock as a bonus.

The Dalies Military
panjr Gets
In the United Slates court at Port
land Wednesday Judge Bellinger
rendered a decision sustainining the
demurrers interposed by the defend
ants in -the case of the unitm) 'Htea
against the Dalles Military Ya!i
Road Company, the Eastern Oregon
Land Company, and some 50 in
dividuals. The case was argued about
a year ago by F. P. Mays, Huntington
& Wilson and J. N. Dolph, but, as a
similar case, known as the Northern
Pacific overlap case, concerning lauds
in Multnomah county, was pending in
the court of appeals, Judge Bellinger
awaited the decision in that case, and
has now followed the ruling of that
court. 1 lie laud involved cmiprisos
cousiderbly over 100.000 acres, adjoin
ing the Columbia river on the south
and lying mostly In Sherman county;
This tract was formerly claimed bv
bofi the Northern Pacific Railway
Coaipany and the Dalles Military
Wajon Rjad Company, through con
gressional grants to them respectively,
T.ie grant to the Militarv Wasron
Road Conrpany was mae last, but the
company and the otber defendants, its
successors in interest, claimed that the
grant to the Northern Pacific Com
pany, down the Columbia river never
took offeet.
The contention of the United States
was that the first grant did become
effective, and that, by an act of
congress passed in 1890, the land was
restored to the public domain, and,
under this claim allowed much of the
land to he entered by settlers at The
Dalles land office.
Judgo Bellinger's decision is to the
effect that the lands in question never
became an earned part of the Northern
Pacific grant, and therefore were
within the road company's grant; in
short, that the apparent "overlap"
was one only in the granting words of
the acts, and not one in fact.

A Big Quarts IMseoverj la the Blue Moan
talus Twenty Miles From Heppner.
Some years ago indications of gold
quartz were discovered on Willow
creek, above the Hamilton sawmill.
Subsequent development of what ap
peared to be one of the best claims
failed to show up any gold worth men
tioning and the mining excitement
died out. : '
Recently Tbos, Leforgie.of Montana,
an experienced prospector, discovered
gold quartz croppings east and south
ot the old prospect. The ledge is fully
75 feet In width and can be traoed for
miles. Lefoijgie says it Is the largest
he has seen in all bin travels and pros
pecting. Development work will be
begun at once and if this proves to be
ooe-half as good as it looks, Heppner
will become a mining town of impor
tance. Heppner Gazette.
Wonder Who Did It?
lhe fill u re of the president to
immediately appoint to federal offices
those recommended by Senator Mc-B'-ide
and Congressmen Ellis and
Tongue, and the appointments made
by Justice Field of Murphy and Grady,
evidences the fact that somebody has
the ear of the president, who is greater
in influence than the gentlemen who
ran the bargin counter at tbe Perkins
house . the past three or four weeks.
But who that big man Is, is still a
mystery. Possibly it is Mr. Corbett,
and possibly President Mc Kin ley re
cognizes him as a member of the Ore-
Pendleton Wants Fair Grounds.
At a citizens' meeting held in Pen
dleton last Wednesday a committee
was appointed to solicit subscriptions
to a stock company which it is pro
posed to organize for the purpose of
building an agricultural fair ground
in that city. When Pendleton starts
after anything it generally gets it, and
will very likely not fail in this' under
taking. Should it succeed in erecting
a fair ground, it is nut altogether im
probable that an effort will be made to
get an appropriation from the state for
premiums, and the amount heretofore
donated to the second district associa
tion tor The Dalles fair may be trans
ferred, especially if a fair is not held
here this fall. We cannot afford this,
hence The Dalles should get things
moving and perfect arrangements for
a lair nere next month. There is
little question but the state appropri
ation Is available, -and" if a snfflctentr
amount is raised bv subscription to
offer-good purses for a speed program
the fair can be made a success.
Made a Thorough Inspection.
Fredrick V. Coville, a special agent
of tbe interior depart man t appointed
to inspect the different forest reserves
io Oregon and Washington, has just
completed a quite extended trip
through the Cascade mountains, and is
prepared to make a report upon the
condition of the forests and the effect
pasturing stock within the reserve has
upon the growtn of timber. Hp started
into the mountains at the California
line and has traveled through the
reserves to the Columbia river.
What Mr. Coville's report will be of
course will not be made public at
present, but ia conversation with him,
we were lead to believe that he does
not consider the pasturage of. stock in
the Cascades detrimental to the timber
growth, and it is not probable that he
will recommend any arbitrary
measurers being adopted to exclude
Stock from the reserves.
Also others, which we will gladly show you. A call solicited. 3

Will go to Klondike.
J. P. Hurbrick, who for some time
past has been engaged in tbe livery
business at Pasco, is in tbe city mak
ing preparations to go to Klondike.
He has located bis family with Mrs.
Hulbrick's father, J. J. Paddock, on
Mill creek, and will leave here Satur
day for Seattle to take passage on a
steamer that sails from Ft. Wrangle
on the 15th. At Seattle he will be
joined by El Alverson.an experienced
mountaineer, and from Ft. Wrangle
they expect to proceed across the
Stickeen pass to Circle City. They
will take 30 dogs with tbe.m to draw
their sledges across tbe divide. They
expect to get to Circle City within a
month from tbe time they leave Ft.
Wrangle. Mr, Hurbrick will take
supplies to last a year, and contem
plates that he will experience no un
surmountable obstacles in reaching
the gold fields.
The Situation In tbe Fatonse.
The situation throughout the Pa
louse country is grave. Rain began
falling at 7 o'clock Saturday night and
continued with only short cessations
for 24 hours, says a dispatch from Pull
man. About three quarters of an inch
fell during that time. The rain fell
gently and ' was not accompanied by
wind, iq consequence of which very
littlo wheat was knocked down. . At
dark Saturday evening little damage
had been done, and should the weather
turn dry so that harvest can be resum
ed in a few days the damage will have
been light-. The wheat was unusually
dry and hard and there has not been
enough rainfall yet to soften the
berry, consequently very little dry
weather is necessary to dry theerrain
so that harvesting can be resumed.
It will not cure everything.' It is
not claimed that it will cuie but one
complaint, that is, dyspepsia. We
cannot say that it will cure very case
of dyspepsia, but it will cure a large
majority of them. Such cases as are
adapted to its use will derive im
mediate benefit. ! One small bottle will
be sufficient to test it.
Tbe Shaker Digestive Cordial is
especially adapted for emaciated or
elderly people whose food does but little
or no good because it is not digested.
The Cordial contains on artificially
digested food and is a digester of food
happily combined. Read one of the
little books which your druggist is
now giving away and learn of this
wonderful remedy.

Senator Mc Bride Talks.
The action of Justice Fiold in reap
pointing Grady and Murphy was no
surprise to Senator McBrido. When
interviewed by the Oregonian he said
the appointments were perfectly in
order; and the usual custom had been
followed in such cases. These reap
pointments had no political signifi
cance, and were undoubtedly made be
fore the recommendations of the
Oregon delegation had reached Wash
ington. Mr. McBride did not doubt
but what their recommendations sent
forward would be acted upon by the
president with as little delay on his
part as possible. Mr. McBride did not
credit the report that the appoint
menu would not be made before njx'
December,' after the convening of
congress and the seating of H. W.
Corbett. That, he said, was an indi
vidual opinion that bad no foundation
in fact. ,

Klondike's first paper, the Dawson
City New?, Was issued on June 17 last,
and a copy of it has just been received
at Portland. The Telegram of yester
day described the News as being a
four-page, three-column publication,
whose subscription price is $20 a year
and a single oopy 75 cents. It is brim,
full of raining notes,, and gives ac
counts of wonderfully rich strikes
having boen made at different points
in the mining region. The first Dam-
ber was issued under difficulties, the
editor having performed all the labor
single banded, the typo he took with
him having turned miner as soon as
be had reached the gold fields.
Next Monday a committee will can
vass the city for subscriptions to raise
purses for a speed program at the fair
which it is experted will be held here
this fall. Of course there is no ques
tion but everybody will make liberal
donations, for everybody favors the
holding of a ' fair and offering such
purses as will bring tbe best racers in
the Northwest here. - There should be
no difficulty in raising $1000 to SliOO
for this purpose.
Wasco county farmers want two
weeks more of fair weather, then they
are safe. The showers of the past
week have caused them to get in and
rustle, but they are equal to the
emergency, and if given two weeks of
fair weather will have their crops
safely u oder shelter. If the elements
are not too' severe the wheat raisers of
the bounty may be depended upon to
brhiir us all out of the "hole" and
create general prosperity.
The cloeed fish season ended at 12
o'clock last night and numerous
wheels were set In motion. Nearly all
of them made good catches, and the
fishermen anticipate an extra good
run this fall. This morning Henry
Laurensen took out about two tons of
fine steelheads and bluebacks and
other wheels did equally as well
Most of today's catch - was sent to
