When the farmers are prosperous
everybody else is in good circum
stances. Good crops and good prices
will do more "th'is year to create gen
eral prosperity than all the legislation
that has been enacted in ten years, and
will far excell the goll mines of Klon
dike The prolific fruit crop this season
has caused a jar famine in the entire
state. Dalles dealers have been out ot
fruit jars-all1, week, . and-' their orders
cannot be filled in Portland. As a re
suit many housewives will be' unable
to put up the amount of fruit they de
sire for winter use. 7
it is a pleasing sight for one to go
to the East End these .mornings an
see the wagon loads of wheat lining u
in iront or the warehouses, and un
loading the product that will soon be
exchanged for shining $20 pieces that
will have a pleasant musical ring when
they drop into the pockets of the
farmers.

will not be soon. In the mean time
the present officials will hold their
places down very gracefully. '
A fellow by the name of Ellis who
was stealing a ride in a box car from

fell in with a band of hobos and was
robber of between $35 and 840. They
served him right. "He wa stealing a
ride from the railroad company, which
is just as dishonest as if he were to
steal the company's money, and being
a thief himself was the legitimate
prey of the hobos.
A decision of the supreme court of
Washington last Saturday Illustrates
with what pertinacity a condemned
man will cling to , hope. . Some time
last year Theodore Cushing shot and
killed Thomas King, at Spokane. Cub
ing was tried on an information charg
ing him .with mutderin the first de
gree. He" was convicted of murder in
the second degree, and sentenced to 10
years. He then appealed to the su
preme court and ' judgment was re
versed. On a new trial he was con
victed of manslaughter and sentenced
to seven years. From this, he again
appealed to the supreme' court and
tfcat body affirmed the lower court, and
he must now serve his. term of seven
years.'

The special Wallowa county edition
of tbe Oregon Scout, published at
Union, has been received. Itcontains
illustrations of tbe -principal business
houses and points of attraction in Wal
Iowa county, together with well
written descriptive articles and
biographical sketches of Wallowa
county's, leading citizens. The edition
is indeed a creditable one, and .shows
enterprise both upon the part of the
publishers of the Scout and the peo
pie of Wallowa county. The edition
is a. splendid advertisement for tbe
Evergreen" county. Of course it is
small compared with the forthcoming
illustrated edition of the Times-Mountaineer
to be issued about the 1st of
January next, however, Wallowa
county does not furnish the field that
Wasco and Sherman counties do.

porated with a capital stock of $7,500
in 100 shares of $75 each. The pur
pose of the corporation is to conduct a
general drug business in The Dalles,
and is a successor to the Snipes-Kin-nerely
Drug Co., one of the oldest
firms in the city. Mr. Kinnersly will
be manager of the new company, and
will conduct tbe business as formerly

The Wheat Harlfet.
The market for spot wheat in Port
land has been weaker tho past few
days than for the eek previous. Club
has been steady at 86 cents, though the
demand Is not brisk. The demand
abroad Is strong, though reports from
Argentena of better prospecs of crops
may tend to weaken the market. In
The Dalles there has been no change
in tbe price, club holding at SO cents,
with only light nales reported. What
future prices may be is difficult to fore
tell, but general indications are that
wheat will not go much- beyond 80
cents for some time.
Thousands of Buahels of Fruit Rotting
Because it Cannot be Marketed.
Since the fruit market in the east
dropped to such an extent that it was
no longer profitable to ship fruit green,
thera has virtually been no market for
the fruit raised in .Wasco and sur
rounding counties. Lite pears and
peaches are now at their best, but
there is no demand for them, therefore
thousands of bushels will be allowed to
rot under the trees. Small quantities
will be dried, but there are no facilities
for drying the immense crop that has
been raised. Nothing short of a can
nery with a capacity of 800 or 1000
bushels of fruit a day could take care of
the crop.
Such an establishment as this would
be the thing for The Dalles not only
this year, but ;very season, for there
is al ways a decline in the market the
last part of the season, when the fruit
raisers here are brought into competi
tion with the raisers of every other
locality. Though were there a cannery
located 1-n The Dalles, whenever . it
ceases to be profitable to ship fruit, it
could be taken to the cannery and at
least fair prices realized-for it. Thou
sands of dollars worth of canoed fruits
are shipped into The Dalles every
year, and were there a canqery with a
capacity only sufficient to supply the
local trade it would keep all this money
at home, and would no doubt be profit
able for those investing in the enterprise.
Was Hot a Burglar.
Tuesday forenoon a client called
at the office of Hon. W. H. "Wilson,
but before entering the .door heard a
dull, tapping sound as of some one at
tempting to burglarize the safe inside.
The visitor's first inclination was to
call the police, but fearing the robber
might get away. mustered up courage to
advance upon tbe burglar unaided and
capture him. So in be went and iwas
rather startled to see Mr. Wilson on j
his Knees before the safe, with a hat
chet in one band and a piece of paper
in the other. The client thought he
had discovered" something-' and hesi
tated before making his presence
known. Fe observed the attorney
was in a deep study; be would consult
the paper, then turn the combination
nervously for a time and try the knob
in a vain attempt to open the door,
then devote a few minutes to tapping
the side of the safe witn the hatchet.
After watching the performance for
about half an hour tho client finally
said "good morning, Mr.. Wilson "
There was no response.' Mr. Wilson
was too much en rapped , in consult
ing the key to the combination and
hammering the side of tbe safe to heed
the intruder. Finally he gave up in
dispair, and remarked"lt can't be done,
1 will have to blow the infernal thing
open to get my papers out." .Then he
sank back on the floor exhausted, when
he observed his visitor, and related to
him his sorrows. There were papers
inside tbat safe that the attorney must
have out, but the thing wouldn't come
open. A friend was called who knows
all about safes, and he readily opened
tbe obstinate door when told the com
bination, while Mr. Wilson looked oq
in amazement, wondering" why he

KElKIXU COMPLETION' 1
The Columbia Southern Will Run Trains
by Sept. eoth.
J. M. Murchie, who is superintend
ent of construction on tbe Columbia
Southern, is in tbe city, and says tbe
company can now fix a definite date on
which they will be running trains in
to Wasco, which will be not later than
the 25tb. The grading and all bridge
work will be completed . today, and
five miles- of track are laid The' re
maining five miles will be laid at the
rate of one mile a day, so ihey expect
tbe hut spike will be driven next
Friday. Tbe road is balasted as fast
as track is laid, so that when the last
rail is iu place, the new railroad will
be completed from Bigs-s to Its southern
terminus at Wasco.
When the first train is run through
the company will be in readiness to be
gin receiving freight, and the train
service will be sufficient to handle the
traffic of tbe country.' "It is not yet
determined how many trains will run
daily, as cars throughout the North
west are scarce, and possibly one train
a day is all the cars that can be se
cured during the wheat season.'
John Parrott, who tncompany with
DrSiddaU left hereIast July for

rott reiterates the accounts of suffer
ing and hardships that must be en
dured before the prospector reacbei-
the gold fields, and says not one in ten
who are at Ska?uay and Dyea will
reach Dawson City this year. In fact,
when he left Skaguay on the 7th tbe
rush to get across thtj trail had some
what subsided, and there were only a
few who contemplated starting across
his fall. He confirmed the reports of
others that there was a scarcity ot
provisions at Dawson, the supply
houses there having closed eptirely or
were limiting the amount of purchases
to be made by any one individual
There cannot but bejnuch suffering
and loss of life at Dawson this winter,

of provisions and they wilt be unable
to purchase more when their supplies

Klondike. Mr. Parrotr, thinks there
can be no question, and he is confident
tbose who get through tbe winter will
make fortunes, but he and Dr. Siddall
felt the risk was too great for them
to hazard, consequently they con
eluded to come home and prepare for
a return trip to Alaska next spring,
and will probably leave here in Feb
ruary or March next, in order to. get
to Skaguay in time to go over the pass
on the snow.
They arrived at Skaguay on August
"th. and arranged with a packer to take
their supplies to Dawson City for 20
cents a pound and $o0 fare each for
themselves. Their packer took their
outfits about one and one-half miles
from Skaguay where he left them,
goinsr on across the mountains and
not returning for tbree weeks, when
it was too late for them to make a
second attempt to get across.
After carting their provisions back
to Skaguay, tbey disposed of them at
about Portland prices, and took pas
sage on tbe steamer City of Seattle for
home. Dr. Siddall left Mr. Parrott at
Seattle, going to Ellensburg. for a
week's visit and will come overland
from that pla;e.
fc kaguay, Mr. - tarrott says, is a
typical mining camp, except It has -no
mines. Of its 4,000 or 5,000 temporary
inhabitants', four-fifths are prospectors
headed for Klondike, ' who have' got
stranded, and will wait till spring
opens before starting' 'across. . The
city is composed principally of tents,
but a number of buildings are-going
up, and hundreds of log cabins are
being put up by prospectors in which
to spend the winter. , The climate
theie is dreadful, rain falling almost

THE SUPPLY OF GOLD. '
It Has Greatly Increased In the Last Six
. :. .. , ...Tears '
- - v i -.- . . ,
In the six years between 1892 and
1897 the visible supply of gold has been
enormously increased and tbe leading
gold-standard nations - have secured
and retained' Vast" hpards, while the
United States treasury has 369,000,000
less than it vhad six years ago:. As
compared with 1892, the bank of Eng
land holds an increase : of $46,000,000;
the Bank of France, $81,000,000; the
Austro-Hungarlan bank, $162,000,000;
Russia, $140,000,000; total, $429,000,000.
The officials are by no means con
Inced that there will be any consider
able flow of gold to tbe United States,
although Europe could . easily spare
some of the $429,000,000. The bills
held by the United States against
Europe for breadstuff a and merchan
dise may, they say, be paid in Ameri
can securities Instead of gold. The
failure of congress to t.ake up the re
vision of the currency, tbey claim, has
a tendency to prevent any material.
quantity of gold from being sent here
to offset trade balances.
neither he nor tbe doctor feel dis
couraged: they simply met with an
obstacle that could not be overcome,
but their desire to reach Klondike is
just as great as it was when they left
here two. months ago, and if nothing
unfors'een occurs tbey will be among
the first parties who get across to Daw
son City next spring. "

Well Pleased With Ilia Mine.
J. H. Cradlebaugh has returned
from Baker county whero he bas been
looking after some mining property
and is well pleased with his prospects
there. With a number of other resi
dents of Tbe Dalles, Mr. Cradlebaugh
is interested in the Golden Eagle
ledg-e, located about 20 miles from
Sumpter, near the Don Juan. While
at the mine Mr. Cradlebaugh milled a
small quantity of rock from the Golden
Eagle, the mill breaking down after
some 800 pounds of ore had been run
through, hence the test was not al
together satisfactory, though the clean
up from that small run showed tbe
rock would mill from that $10 to $15 to
the ton, which is a good average since
the ledge shows six feet of ore of that
sjrade. ' Mr. Cradelbaugh believes the
Golden Eagle will prove to be a pay
ing mine, and is confidant the owner
have a good thing in it.
