The entertainment given by the Ep
worth League at the Baldwin last night
, was a complete success in every re
spect except the. attendance. Every
number of the program was excep-

leaus were perfect. The entertainment
was well worthy of patronage, and
should it be repeated, it is hoped the
attendance will be better.
V The good, old days of big teams and

Ike Patterson collector of customs.
, The Canyon City News says the ex
penses of the recent term of circuit
court in Grant county were $12,000,
Justice comes high ia Grant county,
and the News thinks it will continue
to be expensive until all the county's
sheep thieves and murderers are sent
to Salem. If there are many of this
. class in the county the taxpayers will
. soon be bankrupt if the News' esti
mates are correct, for only two were
sant below the last term of court,
which makes $6,000 a piece that they
have cost the county.
. We desire to thank Bro. Turner, of
the Dufur Dispatch, for the extended
notice given our illustrated edition,
and will also take thia opportunity to
. state, that we intend to use the highest
class of half tones obtainable, also
good book paper, with an attractive
cover, and as we are receiving-almost
universal support in this effort, will
be able to show up the resources of
Wasco and Sherman . counties more
elaborately than it has ever been done
before.
; Not long since the Corvallis Gazette
published the following: "Geo. Bow
era was out hunting Sunday, and when
near the Corvallis flouring mills shot a
pheasant that fell into the river. On
the bank was a Jersey heifer calf that
watched the proceedings. When the
bird fell the calf bounded down the
bank, swam out into the river and
seizing the pheasant brought it to
land and laid it at the hunter's feet."
Shortly after this "truth" was pub
lished B. W. Johnson, editor of the
Gazette, was appointed postmaster at
Corvallis. It is presumed his story of
the pheasant and the calf aided in get
ting him the appointment.

Circuit Judge Bradahaw, aProaecut-
Wasgone. After looking for the ani
mal the officers found that some one
had taken the bridle and blanket.
These were very easily found, as the
boys soon acknowledged that they had
taken the articles. These petty crimes
are very annoying to the officers, as
the boys are so young that it would al
most be a crime to send them to the
pen. A short time ago some boys were
arrested for committing some depreda
tion and as soon as the parents found
out their children were in jail a great
storm was raised. If parents cannot
take care of their children the state
has a reform school that can, and all
such boys belong thete.

given literary effort in the town and it
is with pleasure that we learn of the
success with which the public library
is meeting. It has been open but
twice and has taken in about eighteen

proud. '

The party returned yesterday at one
o'clock, and Tom Ward, who handled
the ribbons on Ward & Robertson's
big wagonette, says that barring
chuck holes and dust, the trip was de
lightful, although he feels somewhat
slighted that he was not taken for the
proprietor.
Judge Bradshaw, who returned from
Prineville Saturday, says that the
term of conrt just completed, was the
longest he ever bold there. In the
case of Bush, charged with murder,
the defendant was found not guilty,
Prosecuting Attorney A. A. Jayne
and Geo. Barnes appeared for the
state, and Judges Bennett and Brink,
for the defendant. The case occupied
three days. One man was convicted
of assault with a dangerous weapon,
and sentenced to a year and a half, an
other plead guilty to larceny, and was
presented with a years residence at
Salem. One simple assault case was
tried, result $100 fine. Besides these
criminal cases there were a number of
civil cases disposed of. Prineville is
reported to be more lively than it has
been for a number of years. The
great amount of stock sold from that
vicinity in the last few. months has
put a large amount of mony in circu
lation. The races opened last Friday
and promises to be the best meeting
ever held in Prineville.
The cliy officers have been put to
considerable trouble lately by some

The O. K. N. Will Establish its Line
Between Tbe Dalles and Portland.
For almost a year the Columbia river
baa been open to free navigation from
The Dalies to the sea, but until recently
this great water course has not been
taken advantage of by foreign trans
portation lines, the D. P. & A. N. Co.
having had the only line of steamers
on the river until a little more than a
month, when the lone was put on the
route between here and Portland.
Probably it will not result in any
material reduction in freight rates,
but it will make a marked difference
n the passenger traffic so far as Tbe
Dalles ia concerned. The O. R. & N.
Co. having connections with eastern
lines will be in a position to offer
tourists a ride on the riyer will neces
sitate their stopping in The Dalles a
few hours at least, and the city will
thua come iutJ more or less promi
nence by being seen by thousands cf
people, who under present arrange
ments, pass through on the trains,
never seeing The Dalles at all. When
the Christian Endeavors visited the
coast last summer, comparatively few
visited the Dalles, because there wi-s
not through connection to the east ex
ccpt such as necessitated a layoff here
for a day, but had the O. K & N. a
line of boats on the riyer then the En
deavors would have viaited The Dalles
and this will be the outcome with
tourists in the future.
But now there is a prospect of still
another competitive line, the O. R. & N.
Co., having determined to put boats on
the line. Concerning this determine.-
tion, tbe Oregonian of Saturday say:
"The primary object of the service
on the middle river is to attract
tourists. Of the thousands of well-to-do
visitors who make the Pacific Coast
tour, probably not one in 50 makes the
water trip to Tbe Dalles, which affords
the most magnificent combination of
mountain, river and forest scenery in
the world. This fact will be widely
advertised in the East all winter, in
anticipation of a very large tourist
travel next spring and summer. The
ride through the Cascade locks is of
itself no every-day experience, and no
doubt th?re are many Oregonians who
will find the trip attractive. Through
passengers will be given the choice of
rail or river route to and from The
Dalles, and time cards will be so ar
ranged that boats will connect with
trains.
"Incidentally, freight traffic will
not be overlooked. The little valleys
on the north shore of the Columbia
have been filling up of late, and there
is considerable local business. It is
probable that the steamer T. J. Potter
and Harvest Queen will be assigned
to the new service at the start, one
leaving Portland and one The Dalles
every morning."
That this action on the part of the O.
R. & N. will prove beneficial to The
Dalles cannot be denied.
and grace with which Miss Kelleher
delivered it made it doubly attractive
and appreciable. In the capacity of a
well-informed guide, she accompanied
her interested audience from Portland
to the extreme southern portion of
California, over the Southern Pacific
lines, with side trips to the Yosemite
valley, Lake Tahoe and other well
known resorts. There were glimpses
of rugged mountain scenery found in
tha Siskiyou and Cascade ranges, and
in striking contrast were a series of
beautiful views of the famous citrua
belt and the almost tropical landscapes
of Santa Barbara, Del Monte and Loa
Angeles. The enjoyable trip was made
In less than two hours, and when Yuma
was reached and the delighted audience
bidden good night, every one present
went home well pleased with the in
structive entertainment.

THE GREYHOUND.
Doe
Facd for the Chase by English
Sovereigns and Nobles.
Greyhounds have existed in very
much the same form as we find their;
to-day for more than three thousand
years, as we find them pictured on
Egyptian monuments of that remote
period. The name probably came from
their general color in England when
King Canute decreed that none but
princes and nobles should keep them.
The color now, in either smooth or
rough coated greyhounds, is very sel
dom grey, but more often fawn, red,
brindled (either red and black mixed
or fawn and blue), or black.
The smooth coated dog is known as
the English greyhound, and the rough
coated as the Scotch deerhound. In
conformation they are very much
the same. They are the fastest run
ners of any of the canine race. On
level ground they can go as fast as a
race horse, and over hilly ground they
can unquestionably beat even the fleet
footed thoroughbred. Formerly the
English dog was used in chasing the
red and fallow deer, and it is related
that on one occasion Queen Elizabeth
witnessed the pulling down of sixteen
bucks. The dogs of that day must haTe
been stronger than those now found in
England. When the master of the
royal buckhounds now has a meet in the
royal forests of England it is a sorry
sight, for the deer are themselves more
than half domesticated, and do not
know how to get away.
The greyhound is used, however, in
coursing hares, and it is one of the na
tional sports of Great Britain. In
Texas and some other parts of America
where jack rabbits abound grey
hounds are kept to chase them. The
English greyhound is a beautiful,
graceful and aristocratic looking dog
but the Scotch deerhound is more dig
nified in appearance. These dogs ar-
trained to hunt game by the eye alone.
They have good noses, however, and if
permitted to do so will also hunt by
scent.

One day last week there was a report
circulated that Van B. DeLoshmutt

was without foundation, and Mr. De-

so and never will. He is pretty well
satisfied with this world and has no

An lute resting Illustrated Talk on an la.
te resting Subject.
The lecture delivered Saturday even
ing in the Congregational church by
Miss Kelleher was one that was intens-
ly entertaining and instructive. Miss
Kelleher isan extremely pleasing
speaker, and is perfectly conversant
with the Bubjects which she discusses.
She first approached her hearers at the
Union depot at Portland, and for a
time called their attention to the facil
ities offered by transportation lines
for carrying travelers oyer the great
Northwest. She invited their atten
tion to an elegantly apportioned day
coach on the Southern Pacific, and
then took them on a flying jaunt
toward the south, making the first
stop at Medford, a splendid birds-oye
view of which place was thrown upon
the canvass. From there the audience
was carried over the Sisklyous and
shown the magnificent scenery along
the route of travel the numerous
pleasure resorts to be found in the
mountains', the great spring that is the
source of the Sacramento riyer, and
the principal points of interest that
are to be found along that river to the
capital of California. From there the
hearers ".were taken over hills and
through valleys, sometimes by stage
coach, sometimes by railroad to the
many places of note, and were finally
invited to make an ascent of Mt.
Shasta, from the summit of which the
beauties of nature were admired.
On leaving Sacramento valley an
intermission was given to allow the
operator of the stereopticau to adjust
his views, during which time Miss
Kelleher gave a pleasing recitation.
Resuming the journey, San Fran
cisco was reached and many of the no
table buildings of that busy city were
thrown upon tbe scene. From there
the audience was taken through
Southern California, sand the many
famous winter resorts, orange groves,
flower gardens, and magnificient parks
of that wonderful section were por
trayed. The lecture throughout held
the audience spell-bound, and so deep
was the Interest that few realized
when it closed they had sat for two
hours viewing California, or- perhaps
more appropriately speaking, traveled
all over that great state while still
being comfortably housed in their
home town.

Changes in English.
The English language of to-day is
quite different in many respects from
the English spoken only 100 years ago;
on the other hand, the Dutch spoken
by the Boers of South Africa does not
differ greatly from the same language
spoken 200 years ago, the Uoers during
that time having had very little inter

Nearly every company in existence

Although the perfection of the veteran
captain's suggestion has yielded a great

dollar of it ever came into the hands of
the real inventor, says the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
In the early days of the war a rough
gang of men and boys frequently took
possession oi tne Hudson Kiver railroad
depot and committed lawless acts. The
police station was located in the town,
quite a distance from the depot, and
before a messenger could summon as

disappeared.. Capt. Mangan- thought
the matter over and induced the depot
agent and telegraph operator to run a

messages, such as "send an oKaor.

J.he indicator on the dial was made to
move by a series of short jerks, caused
by key taps, to the desired point on the
dial. A practical electrician saw . this
crude apparatus at work one day. Six
months later patents were taken out
on the apparatus now in use all over
the country, which consists of a box
with a dial face upon which are indi
cated a number of routine questions
and answers and the letters of the al

spelled out, a crank being used at one'
