TO SUBSCRIBERS.
During the past two years of
A-rfFAmn - null times the Times-
Mountaineer ha3 been. sent reg
ularly to a great many who no
doubt appreciate the paper, but
who have not been called upon
'for ji settlement of their sub
scription. During those years
we have endeavored to keep the
paper going without calling up
on delinquents, knowing that
" money was difficult to get; but
now that times have improved
we feel that our . patrons should
toot only settle all arrearages,
but pay their subscription one
year in advance. We have trust
ed mauy of you one and two
years, and feel that a return of
the compliment is due. iou
are therefore urgently requested
to pay up back subscriptions and
one vear in advance, which will
entitle you to the Times-Moun
taineer and the Webf oot Planter
one year as a premium.

who had been indicted for murder in
the second degree. Last July Bush

southern part of the county. His case

Slowly but surely United States
Senator John L. Wilson is putting
tbe republican office seekers out of
their suspense. The latest to secure
federal oSBce are Wilson R. Gay, of
Seattle, for the office of United States
atorney, and Chas. E. Claypool, of
Tacoma, as assistant United States at
torney, senator Wilson has every
thing his own way when it comes to
dispensing federal patronage in Wash
ington, which accounts for the alacrity
with bich ho has been able to dispose
of tbe job, and ho didn't hold any bar

OCTOBER 30 1897
ITEMS 4N BRIEF.
From Wednesday's Dally.
- Mrs. Gordon has been appointed post-
-mlatreiR9 at Wainic to succeed Mrs,
Woodcock; resigned.
, Yesterday club wheat was quoted at
79 and 80 cents in Portland. The
price here remained at 75 cents.
A farmer in Union county has just
" harvested an experimental crop of su
.. gar beets, which by careful measure
ment and weight yielded at the rate of
2:8 tons to the acre.
Today four car loads of young horses
passed down the road en route from
Pasco to thecannery at Linnton, where
they will be converted into horse beef
and put on the market. .
- S. B. Driver, of Wamic. is in the
city today. He says farmers in the
Wamic country are preparing to put
in a large acreage of grain whenever
sufficient rains shall fall.
Half a dozen ships arrived at Port
land yesterday all after wheat, which
will relieve the warehouses in that
city, and may have the tendency to
advance the price of wheat a cent or
two.
daughter of the late Hon. P. Paquet,
and niece of Mrs. W. E. Garretson, of
The Dalles, died at her home in Ore
gon City, yesterday at3 P. M., aged 22
years. Miss Paquet bad been an inva
lid for a number of years, being a vic
tim of consumption.
Peter Nichols, of Oakland, CaL, Is
visiting old friends and acquaintances
in the cily. Mr. Nicholas was for
many years a resident of The Dalles,
but has been away from here five
years.
At tbe residence of Justice Filloon
.In this city last Bight Mr. Chas. F.
' Due-las and Miss Minnie C. Markham
were united in marriage. Both are
residents of Duf ur, and are highly re
spected young people.
Oreon hoD raisers have not struck
. such a Klondike as they thought they
would a month aero. Hops are a dull
sale at 13 to 14 cents a pound, but this
' is a fairly good price, and will put
most of the hop raisers on easy street,
A Kentucky editor has called on the
sheriff for troops to assist him in get
ting out his paper. There are some
editors in Pendleton who will likely be
compelled to do some thing, judging
from the matter that appears in their
papers.
Pendleton is experiencing a sort of
moral wave that has bean set in mo
tion by the grand jury now in session
at that place. A job lot of indictments
has been returned against gamblers
and prostitutes which is making life
uncomfortable for that class of people,
Hon. B. F. Nichols, county treasurer
of Crook county, spent the day in the
c'tv visiting old friends. Mr. Nichols
has been in Walla Walla visiting his
daughter, Mrs. G. A. Winckler, and
is returning to his home at Prineville,
Mr. Nichols is one of tbe early
pioneers of Oregon, having come here
53 years ago, and is a perfect encyclo
pedia of Oregon history.
The semi-annual report of the county
cler, sheriff and treasurer of Wasco
county show that on Sept. 30, the total
indebtedness of the county was $107,
504.61; total resources, $25,970.40; net
liabilities, $81,577.21. The total amount
of warrants drawn for the six months
ending Sept. 30, was $18,427.07, which
shows tbe expenses of the county to be
about 3o,uuu a year.
As the farmers throughout the coun
try sell their wheat they satisfy the
mortgages held on their farms by
foreign loan associations, and relieve
themselves from dobts that hare been
hanging over them for years. Now if
they will just firmly resolve to never
again mortgage the farm, they will see
easier times in the future. To get out
of debt and stay out is the best known
antidote for hard times.
The trial of Ben Ward, ex-treasurer
of Clatsop county, who is under indict
ment for having, appropriated some
$14,000 of county funds, was begun at
Astoria yesterday, and will probably
continue until the end oi tbe week
Ward and Mb deputy have raised sulfr
cient funds to reimburse tbe county,
which will probably save him from a
term in the penitentiary.
The beer produced by the Columbia
brewery of this city has ever enjoyed a
reputation as being A 1, and that it
has not lost its standing is evidenced
by the fact that the brewery is being
run on full time, turning out thou
sands of gallons of beer daily. The
Columbia brewery, like the Diamond
mills, has a reputation for turning out
it first class article, and both these
manufacturing industries are known
abroad as well as at home, just as any
other manufacturing - concern would
be if established in Tbe Dalles.
More trouble has been piled up on
J. P. McManus, editor of the Pendle
ton Republican. Besides being in
dicted for criminal libel, the Umatilla
county grand jury has returned an in
dictment charging him with gambling
playing the great American game of
draw poker. He may be guilty of the
first charge but it is ridiculous to
charge him with having played poker.
It takes money to indulge in that lux
ury, and money is something Oregon
editors seldom if ever have. McManus
will certainly come clear on that
charge.
Hon. E. B. Dufur has returned from
Prineville where he had been attend-,
From Thursday's Daily.
Mrs. Sophia Lauer, of Portland, is
visiting her sons, Charles and Jerome,
in this city.
Thus far this season the Salem flour

of wheat at prices racging from 69 to
82 cents.
Recently Z. M. Brown and Pelton
Bros, bought 1,500 head of cattle in
Willamette valley that they will drive
to Crook county this fall.
Gov. W. J. McConoell, of Idaho, is
in the city today. The governors visit
has no political significance, as he is
here only on a friendly visit..
A gang of thirty hobop who had
been run out of Spokane made a raid
on Cheney Monday night, and were
promptly run into the city jail by the
marshal.
Farmers are becoming convinced
that 75 cents a bushel is about all they
are going to realize for wheat this sea
son, and a good many are selling at
that price.
Capt. A. S. Blowers and his son, L.
N. Blowers, mayor of Hood River,
have gone to Sumpter, Baker county,
with the view of opening a store at
that place.
The Rustler thinks Lake county! Is
entitled to the belt as the most prolific

to get it out of tbe way of the railroad
bridge soon to be built.
New York capitalists are about to
put in a new electric light plant in
Eugene. This will give that city two
good electric plants, and will cause a
reduction in price of light.
Wm. Kelsay, of Antelope, who
recently had several ribs broken by
falling down a. bank on Eight-Mile,
has about recovered from his injuries,
and expects to return home next week.
Dr. Sutherland returned last evening

proved in health. The doctor is hope
ful that his health will so improve as
to enable him to remain in The Dalles.
It is expected the new steamship
line between Astoria and San Fran
cisco will be in operation within the
next three or four weeks. Cheap
freight and passenger ratas will then
be the order.
There's a new coon in town, and he
has taken up his lodgings in the show
window of the Snipes-Kinnersly drug
store. He is a diminutive coon, but as
an advertiser attracts more attention
than any other colored gentleman in
town.
Klickitat club wheat commands H
cents a bushel more than Wasco county
wheat here, and Klickitat bluestem is
from 3 to Zi cents above club, making
it worth from 78 to 79 cents a bushel,
and some has been sold the past few
days at 80 cents.
Eugene has been overrun with ho

my judgment, is requisite for the large

I direct that out of the remainder of

shall set apart bonds, stocks and notes

Mr. Pullman was indeed one of the
great wealth accumulators of tbe age,
was a financier who had few equals,
bub he failed to instill into his sons
business principles fitting them to
even have charge and control of prop

rich men of the country, in the pur
suit for wealth, neglected to give his
pons that training that would fit them
to continue as his successors. While
his efforts in life as a financier were
crowned with success, his duties as a
parent were neglected.

Love there was none in the beginning,
and hatred usurps its place and over
throws man's dominion. The man is a
"cussed fool" and his wife and little

and could point them out right here at
home, besides some of a national char
acter. The annexation of Hawaii and
adoption of tho mixed breeds of those
distant, chaotic sea islands, is another
off-spring of an avaricious, grasping,
bull-ragging disposition of the present
generation. Our territory is already
broad enough and too much divided in
local, political and racial interests.
What applies to one section is antag
onistic to another. Hence we are al
ready embroiled in disputes amoung

Cuba clamoring for protection and war
impending with Spain, we have enough
to do without hampering ourselves
with Hawaii and another fight with
Japan and the barbaric natives of
these islands. Tho game is not worth

The Dalles will show a fair advance

buildings erected. Since May 1st of
this year 26 residences have been
erected, and all of them will be com
pleted before the end of the year.

work has been commenced on the

cost close to $15,000 and Wilkinson's
warehouse will probably be completed
before the end of the year. Besides
these new buildings, thousands of
dollars have been expended in repair
ing and building additions to different
residence property. This will make a
very good showing of improvements in
tbe city for the year 1897, and is con

A GREAT HUNTING OUTFIT.
The Extensive Betlnne of the Khan ot
Tartary.
The emperor hath two barons who
are own brothers, one called Baian,
end the other Mingan; and these are
styled Ohinuchi (or Cunichi), which is
as much as to say: "The Keepers of the
Mastiff, Dogs." Each of these brothers
hath 10,000 mea under his orders; each
body of 10,000 being dressed alike, the
one in red and the other in, blue, and
whenever they accompany the khan to
the chase, they wear their livery, in
order to be recognized. Out Of each
body of 10,000 there are 2,000 men. who
are each in charge of one or more
great mastiffs, so that the whole num
ber of these is very large. Ajid when
the prince goes a-hunting one of those
barons, with his 10,000 men; and some
thing like 5,000 dogs, goes towards the
right, whilst the other goes toward
thQ left with his party in like manner.
They move along, all abreast of one
another, so that the whole line extends
over a full . day's journey, and no an
imal can escape them. Truly it is a
glorious sight to see the working of the
dogs and tthx huntsmen on such an oc
casion ! And as the khan rides a-fowl-ing
acrosn the plains you will see these
big hounds coming tearing up, one
pack after a bear, another pack after a
stag, or some other beast, as it may hap.
and running the game down, now on
this side, now on that, so that it is
really a most delightful sport and
spectacle.
The two brothers I have mentioned.
writes Noah Brooks in St. Nicholas,
ore bound by the tenure of their office
to supply the khan court from Octo
ber to the end of March with 1,000
head of game daily, whether of beasts
or birds, and not counting quails; and
also with fish to the best of their abil
ity, allowing fish enough for three;
persons to reckon as equal to one head
et game.

That Way.
A butler who had been 25 years in
the same family went one morning to
his master and said that he wanted to
leave, says the Weekly Telegram. The
master, much astonished, asked what
his reason was.
"Do you want your wages raised,
John?" '
"No, sir."
"Is it the food that you're complain- I
ing of?"
"No, sir." .
"Well, what is it, then?"
"I'd rather not say, sir."
"Now, John," said his master, losing
his patience, "you've been a long time
in my employ, and I insist upon your
