equal to any ever made at this place.

children wedded a widower with two
children and they had two more chil
dren.' One day the husband called to
his wife: "Your children and my
children are in the yard thumping the
life out of our children."
-A Dalles firm recently placed an
order with the Pendleton Woolen
Mills for 300 robes. That the firm will
get attractive goods, made of pure Ore-
- gon wool, Is not doubted, but those
same robes should have been manu
factured right here in The Dalles.
' The enterprising representative of
Van Camp's pork and beans, Miss Lil
lian Robinson, has been in the city to-
r day dispensing the goods of her firm
at the store of Pease & Mays. As a
commercial traveler' Miss Robinson
takes pre-eminence as one of the most
' successful drummers on the road.
Yesterday the president appointed
Hon. T. T. Geer, of Macleary, .Or., to
be register of the land office at Oregon
City. This is one of President McKin
ley's appointments which the senate
will not be called upon to confirm, Mr.
Geer having declined in advance to ac-
cept a 8500-a-year place when he was
entitled to any office in the gift of his
party.
r'. In Portland yesterday club wheat
dropped to 85 cents, but there was no
change in prices at The Dalles, Huy
' ers here today came up smiling and of
fered farmers 80 cents a bushel for all
the wheat they were willing to dispose
of. This is another evidence that The
Dalles is a market which the farmer
finds is stable and profitable for him to
court.
There was a car load of cattle en
route from Eugene to Baker City un
. loaded at the stock yards today, that
could hardly be called cattle. They
were more walking skeletons than any
thing else. Among the lot were a
-: number of old work steers, that after
being filled up on Eastern Oregon hay
will trlut the Portland markets with
, good, tough beef.
XT. S. Jones, aged about io years
died as his home In Dufur. last night.

, to save Mb life, being afflicted with
blood poisoning, and survived only a
few hours after the operation. The
operation was performed by Dr. Deit-
rlch.of Dufur, assisted by Dr. Hollister,
of this city. .
r The genial face of Lou Morse, White
Salmon's leading merchant, illumined
. the streets of The Dalles last night.
At the dock this morning while wait
ing for the boat to start he entertained
the audience by dilating upon the fine
fishing thece,, is at White Salmon.
Trout, he declared, were so gamy In
' the river that an under has to go be
hind a tree to bait his hook, else the
fish will get if before he can cast a
line.
The other day J. C. Wingfield, one
of the most prosperous -farmers of En-
dersbv. had an attack of Klondike
fever, and hied away to Portland to
Inauire about passage to Alaska. Ar
riving in that city, he met John Par-
rott, whose stories of the north was an
effectual cure for Mr. WIngfield's mal-
adv. and be returned to hisfarm con
vinced that he bad a richer Klondike
of his own than anything Alaska can
possibly offer.
If you don't blow your own horn,
who will. The Dufur Dispatch says: "As
the Dufur Dispatch probably has a much
. larger circulation among the Wasco
Mnntv farmers, than any one other
publication in the county, advertisers
should look into this matter in their
- nwn interest. Countv officials, In fair
ness to farmers, whose presence and
labors make the county what it is,
" ahnuld think of this, .too." Comment
' Is unnecessary. -
The firm of Pease & Mays is not
only large and liberal sellers but also
extensive importers. As evidence,
they today received a car load, 24,000
pounds, of beans. This shipment in
dicates something of the magnitude of
the business of The Dalles. Merchants
here find that in order to meet the de
mands of the trade they must order in
quantities similar to the invoice re
eeived today by Messrs. Pease & Mays.

"Notwithstanding the fall in wheat
at Portland, Dalles buyers kept the
price up to 80 cents all last ween, but
as there was no indication for an in
creased demand today, the price here
went down to 78 cents. No sales of
consequence were reported at that
price. The receipts of wheat however
have been larger today than any other
day of the season.
Last Saturday R. B. and Henry

litor to have the benefit of the rise if
there is any, as 80 cents pays him very
well for raising the wheat.

all week and have a stock of birds
saved up.
The Independence city council is
proposing to license nearly all kinds
of business at from $10 to $25, those
now in business being given fre
licenses. The point aimed at seems to
be that business of many kinds have
been so overdone as to be unprofitable
for all concerned, and the ordinance
would deter others from coming in to
set up business except in a permanent
way and where there was a real good
opening.
A party of nimrods consisting of T
A. Ward, I. J. Norman, Dennis Bun
nell and Will Gilmore scoured the

profit to the owners even at the preaent
low price of silver.
A considerable amount of Klickitat
wheat is going to Lyle this year. It is
said the road from Centerville to Lyle

PtWHLNU ON TO DAWSON.
Albert Davis and Neal Boyer Have Beached
Happy Camp.
Albert Davis and Neal Boyer, two
energetic young men who left here
last month for Klondike, are pushing
ahead toward the promised land, and
probably ere this have very nearly
reached the land of gold. Mr. Davis
has written two letters to his mother,
Mrs. C. Davis, one from Dyea dated
August 24, and a second from Happy
Camp, dated Sept. 1.
In the first letter Mr. Davis says he
and Mr. Boyer reached Dyea safely,
and proceeded at once on their journey
across the pass. ' The first day they
moved their outfit six miles, and after
that made from one and one-half to two
miles a day. They were relying solely
upon their own resources, and were
taking their entire outfit along with
them as far as they could each day.
Mr. Davis states that he did not find
the pass as difficult as he expected, and
had no doubt but he would reach Klon
dike before severe weather set in.
In the letter from Happy camp he
says: "We are over the hardest part
of the journey. Happy camp is aboi't
three miles beyond the summit and
five miles from Lake Linneman. It
will take us two days to reach the lake.
We have joined two young men from
Seattle, and we four will go down the
river together. We expect to reach
Dawson City in 25 days from here if
we have good luck. There is no tim
ber on the trail for several miles down
the mountain on the west side to this
place, hence we have not been able to
cook anything- after we left Sheep
camp until we reached here."
Mr. Davis reports having encoun
tered some hardships on the route, but
was able to travel from one to six miles
a day all the way from Skaguay to
Happy camp, and anticipates little dif
ficulty in getting through the lake and
down the river.

Pendleton's Enterprise.
Saturday .morning the Pacific Expres
Co's. deliveryman left at this office a
package from the Pendleton Woolen
Mills that contained a robe of eight
colors, made of Oregon wool and by an
Oregon factory. The present from
the woolen mills at Pendleton is duly
appreciated by tho editor of the Times
Mountaineer, but produces a feeling
of regret because the handsome robe
was not manufactured in The Dalles.
Pendleton by her enterprise secured
a woolen mill that turns out goods
that compare with those manufactured
by any mill in the world, while The
Dalles, the greatest wool center in the
United States ships its raw material
abroad to have it converted Into arti
cles of commerce. It is unnecessary
to draw any conclusions. The Dalles
has simply allowed its more enterpris
ing neighbor to capture an industry
that should have located here; but this
is no time to moralize it is a time for
action. Let us enter the field as a
competitor of our enterprising neigh
bor, and establish a factory that will
produce an article equally as good as
the sample of robe which was for
warded to this office by the Pendleton
mills. Then instead of .our merchants
being compelled to place orders with
the Pendleton mills, they will place
them with a home institution.

Driven to Suicide by Grief.
A father lying at the morgue, dead
by his own hand; an erring daughter
missing, and presumably with evil as
sociates: a widowed mother, with five
small children clustered about-and an
other life soon to be brought into the
world. Such is the calumniation of
the story of girlish waywardness and
parental dread of disgrace, through ex
posure, that has sent Albert KahliD,
of 618 East Twenty-fourth street, to fill
a suicide's grave, says the Portland
Telegram.
The circumstances that led up to
this tragedy are sad. Albert Kahlin
had for years been a hard workiog
blacksmith in Wolff & .Zwicker's
ship yards. He raised a family of five
children, the oldest of whom was Hed-
wig. a girl of 14 years. Recently she
with her two brothers went to Mt.
Angel to pick hops. There the girl
fell in with evil associates and was
ruined. Being chided.by her parents
she left home, and the heartbroken
father, crazed by the downfall of his
daughter, sent a ball from a Winches
ter rifle through his brain Fridav
morning as 4:30.

Say Bennett died in this city Fri
day from Bright 'a disease, aged about
53 years. Mr. Bennett was born in
Marshal, Clark county, 111., but came
to this coast when a young man, re
siding in Oregon and California the
past 30 years. Deceased leaves a
mother, two sisters and three brothers.
Two brothers, John and Harry, live
here, his mother and one sister in
Topeka, Kan., and one sister in St.
Joseph, Mo. Mr. Bennett was the
owner of a stable of race horses,
among which was the noted sprinter
Grover. Grover was a favorite with
Mr. Bennett, and since the death of
the horse at Oakland, Cal., last winter
he has appeared broken in spirit. Un
til recently Mr. Bennett had resided
at Heppner, but was brought here a
short time before his demise. The
funeral took place Saturday fore
noon at Sunset cemetery.
A Despicable Act.
For several months S. L. Brooks has
had an instrument for measuring the
velocity of the wind stationed on the
D. P. & A. N. dock, and from it
secured data concerning the wind here
for records which he furnishes the
government. Last Saturday night
soma malicious individual or individ
uals broke the instrument, bending
the arms which carry the fans, totally
ruining ii. Why anybody should thus
desire to destroy property is a mystery.
The Instrument was of no annoyance
or inconvenience to any one, but was
a benefit to the city and to the weather
bureau in keeping records that are
beneficial. - If the party or parties who
did this dastardly act can be appre-
nended, nothing short of a long term
in the penitentiary should suffice as a
punishment for the crime.
Can the City Afford It T
Electric street lights are a conven
ience to everybody, and wherever in
use are evidence of prosperity and
thrift, but they are also expensive lux
uries, which every municipality Bhould
consider the-expenses of before adopt
ing. Last Saturday dight the city
council met for the purpose of receiv
ing the report of the committed on
electric lights, and the report showed
that the best rates to be obtained from
the Electric light Co. were $10.50 per
month for 15 lights on a contract of
three years; $10.75 a month for each
light for two years, and $12 a month
on a contract of one year. -That is the
best contract that can be made for
lighting the streets with 15 lights, and
is $157.50 a month, or $1,800 a year.
Now the question arrises, can the
city afford this expenditure? At the
present rate of receipts and disburse
ments, the city is going ahead at the
rate of about $1,500 a year, its receipts
being that much greater than its ex
penditures. With the extra expendi
ture of $1890 a year for lights there
would be a deficit of nearly $400 a year,
unless the expenses of the other
branches of city government can be
reduced.
Ci'.y recorder Sinnott is making a
careful examination of the records of
the city, and will submit to the couucil
at the special meeting called for
Thursday night an estimate of the
probable receipts and disbursements
of the coming year, from which the
council can determine if the luxury of
lights can be afforded.
The Woodmen Circle.
The Pacific Circle, Women of Wood
craft, is now in a splendid condition.
They have their grand circle office at
Leadville, Colorado, and have on their
roster 2000 beneficiary members and
800 social. They have paid three death
claims In full since April 1st, the pres
ent year, and have two in Oregon to
pay in full within the next month.
The order has 32 circles in this state
organized since April 1, 1897, and has
in all 73 in the jurisdiction since the
above date.
The Pacific Circle was adopted by
the head council of Woodmen of the
World Pacific Jurisdiction, as its auxil
iary, on August 11, 1897.
The amount of insurance is from
$500 to $2,000 and the assessment rate
is a graded one just like that of the
Woodmen. The order furnishes a $100
monument to every deceased lady
member who carries a beneficial y cer
tificate. '
The order is a social, benefit and
fraternal one, and the social after
every meeting of the circle tends
toward cultivating a true frater
nal spirit among its members. The
guardian of the local circle is Mrs
Ella Cushing and the clerk, Miss
Louise Rintoul, and the order meets
every Friday eveuing in Fraternity
hall, over N.' Harris' store.

A Boy and a Cider Mill.
Last Saturday evening L. Comini
and family went to Mill creek to spend
Sunday with tbe family of Theodore
Mesplie, and uo sooner had they ar
rived at the farm when the little boy,
aged about 9 years, undertook to oper
ate a cider mill that stood in the yard.
He set the machine in motion, then
Undertook to feed it with apples. In
doing this he got his right hand mixed
up with a couple of cog wheels, and
the hand was terribly lacerated. For
tunately no bones were broken, but
the flesh on the back of the hand and
fingers was badly cut, and it required
a. number of stitches to restore the
fingers to their normal condition. The
boy was brought to town Saturday
night and placed under Dr. Hollister's
care.

ISyera' Flouring Milks at Pendleton
Df-
stroyed by Fire.
The large roller mills at Pendleton,
with a capacity of 500 barrels daily,
owned by W. S. Byers, were destroyed
by lire Monday morning, tog-ether
with nearly 90,000 bushels of wheat
and 2,000 barrels of flour. The fire
was first discovered about 3:30 by James
Gray, the night watchman of the mills,
who was the only person awake abort
the premises. It originated in a small
smut room, and is supposed to have
been caused by spontaneous com
bustion. The fire spread very rapidly, and
was seen by the night engineer in the
woolen and scouring mill near, who
whistled an alarm. The fire depart
ment soon responded, but by this time
the large buildiog was a mass of flames
and nothing could be done except to
save adjoining property.
At one time the $80,000 courthouse
on tho block opposite was . mnokiDg,
but the mill walls fell in and the fire
men were able to s.ive the courthouse.
The firemen had great difficulty from
bursting hose, and were bandin.ipped
by a large crowd and the exui tement
of the people.
The contents of a stone warehouse
near the mill ware greatly damaged
and nearly ruined. Tho corrugated
iron warhouse was totully destroyed.
Tho loss is at least $150,000 half on
the plant and half on wheat, flour and
other property. In the mill elevator
60,000 bushels of wheat were burned,
and in the stone warehouse 25,000
bushels of wheat and 2,000 barrels of
flour. There was no insurance, save
$50,000 on the mill building and mach
inery. The stone warehouse was sup
posed to be fireproof, but the intense
heat fired the contents. Only a part
of the machinery was running at the
time cleaning wheat.
The destruction of this fine milling
plant is a serious loss to Pendleton
and in fact to the entire state, for
Oregon's flour had gained much noto
rity through the sale In China, Japan
and South America of the products of
Byers' mills. "Byers' Best" took the
first premium at the Columbian ex
position in 1893, and had aa almost
world-wide reputation.
It has not yet been determined if
the mills will be rebuilt, but judging
from Pendleton's past enterprise it is
very likely the plant will be replaced.
