About Wheat.
At present the wheat market is dull,
and will likely remain so until the
first of next month, when more tonage
is expected in Portland to move the
wheat to different parts of the world
where it is In greatest demand. But
the outlook for dollar wheat at Port
land is not so flattering as It was a
month ago. Probably 90 to 95 cents
will be reached for November and De
cember shipments, but higher prices
than this "are'not expected. Wheat
may yet go to 85 cents in The Dalles,
but when it reaches 80 cents again,
there will be little Inducements for the
farmer to hold longer.- - Many of the
farmers are mgre or less involyed, are
paying interest on money, and for
them to hold after they can get the
rise of 80 cents a bushel would not be
the best of Judgement. . From present
indications the farmer who pells above
80 cents in The Dalles will be better
off than the one who holds fer more,
for crop prospects in India and' Argen
tina are improving, and by March 1st
next those countries will be in the
market with large crops. .

THE HECRKT IS. OCT.
One of at Hunting Party Tells Why lie
Shot Decoy Ueese.
EU TlMES-MOirNTAINEEB:
I see iu your valuable paper an ac
count of four gentlemen going across
the river hunting. It spoke about me
shooting some decoy geese. Now, Mr.
Editor, that is so. I shot at them with
the full Intention of killing them, but
there are some other circumstances at
tached to that'hunting trip that I will
try and explain, and when I got through
you will not wonder that I shot at the
decoy geese.
We started up Klickitat mountain
on this side with Bill Gilmore and
Tom Ward in the front seat, Dennis
Bunnell and myself in the back seat.
Before we got half way up the hill
they became very talkative, they got
to talking about stage driving and
killing Indians. Bill said his father
came to The Dalles in 1811. At that
time I got interestod and asked Bill
hove old he was when ha came here
he said 14. Bill showed us whero he
killed three Indians at one shot. I
laughed, but he declared it was so.
Tom said he drove a stage from The
Dalles to Canyon City for 33 years; said
he drove 18 horses at one time to the
stage, and he proved it by Bunnell.
When we got to the top of the moun
tain and down on the other side, Tom
and Bill began to get pretty lively.
I think it was on account of tbo light
air. They started the horses down the
hill in a dead run and instead of seeing
grouse they went so fast we couldn't
have seen a boar. When they came to
the road leading from Goldcndale to
Lyle they turned down toward Lyle,
and all at once Bill stopped the horses
and Tom got out and said he was sun
struck. From the way he staggered
I thought he had beon struck by some
thing. He laid down on the side of
the hill and wo went on and left him,
drove on about three miles and came
to a house. Bill got out and said he
was going to aak them if there were
any grouse around there. He went to
the house and inquired of a lady if
there were any stray cattle around
there. "I have 1800 head run ning around
here somewhere" said he, and the lady
looked at him as though she thought
he was sun struck. Bill made it back
to the wagon and I said to him we had
better go back to get the stage driver,
so vie turned the team around and
drove back where Tom was sleeping,
He was so hot that he could n't swallow
water. 1 took the stock off my gun
and put one end of the barrel down his
throat and poured water la the other
end and managed to cool him off.
Then we started up the road, and by
the way, we hac a dog with us and they
had run the poor thing nearly to death.
When we got to the forks of the road
we started up the one that went to
Goldendale. The dog was so warm he
didn't know what to do, but he sat
down and howled a Tew long pitiful
howls as good as to say "if you don't
know what you are doing L do," and
struck for home. We drove on about
three miles and camped, and about
midnight Dennis said to me "if you
please go and get a bucket of water.
I got a gallon bucket full, and Dennis
drank every drop of it, so that showed
that he hadn't been drinking anything
else. Now, Mr. Editor, I don't think
you or anyone else would blame me
for shooting those decoy geese or any
thing else. I. J. N,
and Portland. This in connection
with the two boats of the D. P. & A.
N. Co., will give The Dalles nine boats
a week, and will bring the city in
closer touch with the outside world, as
it will have shipping facilities second
to none on the coast. Traffic can be
bandeled ou the river at less cost than
by rail, hence the competing rates by
steamer will bring The Dalles to the
front as a shipping point, and will give
It prestige over any other city in the
Inland Empire. There is sufficient
traffic here for all the boats that may
desire to come. The Dalles, with com
peting lines on the river, and a great
railroad system passing through it.
will once again regain her old reputa
tion as being the principal shipping
point in Eastern Oregon. There Is
plenty of work here for two boat lines,
and we bespeak for the home company
and the new line a season of prosperity. .

an Awful, accident.
Little Willie Wand Terribly Mangled by a
Worn Train at Mosier.
At Mosier at 3:30 Wednesday after
noon wiine waud, aged seven years
last February, eldest eon of W. E.
Waud, of 'Dufurr-was' -playing along
with his grandfather, Edward Waud,
going from the store to their home,
when a work train',r with George Fer
guson . as engineer, came in sight.
Willie started in a run toward the
track to see the train go by, unheeded
by his grandfather, who Is quite an
elderly' gentleman and just as the
engine approached, must have slipped,
falling under the wheels of the engine,
before Mr. Ferguson could stop the
locomotive.
When the train could be stopped the
train hands got the boy out from under
the wheels In a terribly mangled state,
and carried him to the home of his
grandparents, wbo at once summoned
Dr. Brosim, of Hood River, and in ac
cordance with his advice tht. boy was
brought to The Dalles for treatment.
Dr. Brosius called t his assistance
Drs. Holllster and Logan, and on ex
amination it -was 'found the patient
was terribly mangled, almost every
member of his body being injured.
His right leg was crushed from his
foot to above the knee, the left shoulder
broken, the flesh on the inside of the
left foot almost severed from the bone,
the spine seriously injured and the
thumb of the right - band crushed.
It was found necessary to amputate
the right leg above the knee, also to
take off the thumb of the right hand,
and to reduce the fracture of the left
shoulder and sew up the cuts on the
left foot. Dr. Hollister amputated the
limb, while Dr. Brosius assisted by
Dr. Logan attended to the other oper
ations.
The accident, though a deplorable
one, was one for which no one could
be blamed, as the engineer could not
have avoided it under any circum
stances. It is an awful blow to the
child's grandparents, as he has been
their constant charge and companion
since he was three weeks old, having
been given to them by his mother on
her deathbed.

As a result of the trouble between
the Oregon Short Line railroad and

An Establishment Where Every Article
of Household Furniture Is Sold.
It is a convenience to any one want
ing to furnish, a house to bo ' able to
find every article required in ono es
tablishment and thus uot be forced to
run all ever the city to get the uilfcr-
ent lines of house furnishing goodr. It
saves much time and worry if one is
able to go into a store and there select
parlor sets, bedroom sets, dining room
furniture, chairs, lounge?, dish closets,
cook and heating stoves, dishes and
tinware, in fact everything needed to
furnish the house without having to
visit the stores of a half dozen special
dealers in order to purchase the several
articles required to make home com
fortable.
The Great Northern Furniture Store,
opposite Fred Fisherp, is an establish
ment that meets the demand in this
respect. There you can find anything
from a rolling pin to a complete set c f
furniture for any room in the house. It
also furniehes you the widest range to
select from, as a largo and complete
stock In every line is carried. Fifty
different styles of full sets of furni
ture, and odd pieces too numerous to
attempt to mentien. In stoves, ranges
and cooking utensils the variety is
comparetively endless. So varied is
the stock that even the most particular
cannot fail to be satisfied and supplied
with just what he wants.
As to prices, well just ask those who
have made purchases at the Great
Northern Furniture Store, or go there
and get prices yourself. You will be
surprised, for you will be able to make
$20 go further there than at any other
iurmture store in tne state, it is no
trouble to show goods and quote prices,
but it is a pleasure to the management
to be able to sell them so cheaply.

TAXPAYERS ATTENTION.
This in my last and final call to you.
The county court has Issued an impera
tive order.
By virtue of a warrant to me directly
issued by the clerk of the county court
the council eltiminate that about $1,200 j of the state of Oregon, for the county
could be applied to the light fund, but of Wasco, commanding me to collect
as streets and sewers must be kept in
repair, it was not advisable, the coun
cil thought, to estimate this expense
from the probable expenses of the city
for the present year. It was therefore
estimated that not to exceed $782, the
amount paid for lights and extra jrater
rent last year, could be depended upon
as extra resources to be applied on
streetlights.
The - marshal reported that the
Fourth street bridge required a new
deck, and the matter of providing same
was referred to the committee on
streets and public property with power
to act. " . .
The judiciary committee report
ed favorably upon the ordinance
granting a franchise to the Washougal
& La Camas Transportation Company
for the use of the water front lying
west of Union street, and the same
was passed. The ordinance grants to
the Washougal & LaCamas Transpor
tation Company the use-1 of the follow
ing property for the purpose of erect
ing docks and wharves, so long as said
company shall maintain and operate
an independent line of steamers on the
Columbia river: Commencing at a
point on the south bank of Columbia
river at low watermark intersecting the
west line of Union' street, thence fol
lowing the meanderings of said river
west to a point where it intersects the
west bank of Mill creek; thence up the
west bank of Mill creek to First street,
thence east to Union street, thence
north on the west line of Union street
to the place of beginning.
His Life for s Bide.
An unknown man was killed by
train No. 23 at 12:35 this morning at
Huron. He was found by Engineer
Swoney of the helper engine, at the
water tank on the main line at that
station. He had evidently been
dragged one rail length.
The man wore a pair of blue overalls
and two pairs of pantaloons over them.
He had a black sack coat and vest and
soft black hat. He also wore three
shirts, the top one a dark flannel, and
heavy lace shoes. He had dark brown
hair, was smooth shaved, and was prob
ably about 21 years old. There was
nothing on his person to identify him.
Kailroad men are taking care of his
remains until further orders.
It is probably the same old story of
stealing a ride In which the ride Is ob
tained at the cost of a life, - Still, re
ports do not indicate that the man was
greatly mangled;- His right hip was
badly cut and there' was a "wound un
der the arm. Above 4he eye was an
ugly gash. . , ?; . .:
Pendleton authorities were tele
graphed and Coroner Folsom and Dep
uty Sheriff Kimberk went up on this
morning's train to hold an inquest.
They ha e not yet returned. The
facts given above are all that have so
far developed. East Oregonlan.

"bple of
Several years ago the""3bple of Dufur
imported a lot of Chinese pheasant and
Bob White quail, and for two years
they appeared to breed very rapidly,
becoming quite plentiful on soma of
the farms jn the surrounding country.
After they had increased to quite
good sized flocks they began to disap
pear, and at present there is said not
to be a quail or pheasant in the entire
country. Where they have gone is a
mystery. Sportsmen in and about
Dufur have guarded them jealously,
and have prevented their being killed,
consequently it is presumed that they
became dissatisfied with the climate or
the feed, and have migrated, possibly
to Willamette valley, where they are
quite numerous, and appear to hrive
as well as they do in their native coun
tries. .. -. '
