Thuasday of last week Curry Coolidge

Th Portland wholesalers who passed

both places that they would call on
their return trip.

eourt interpreter in the case against
Simmons. Most of the witnesses being
sons of the forest are not conversant

snow having fallen at Kingsley Mon

the market for hog products, henco the
farmer who stocks up on hogs this year

wheat be can use in fattening them for
next season.
The "mk-fakir" who recently
worked The Dalles, today delivered
his "business directory" and collected
the "scads" for the advertisements

such a mixed up affair (as most such
fakes are) that it will be anything but
a good advertising scheme.

mountain prsses than sheep.
The first carload of steel rails to ba

proposition.
On the 11th the Tacoma Ledger
issued a 24-page jubilee edition in com
memoration of the admission of the
state of Washington. A copy of the

ble articles on the resources of Wash
ington, and the importance of Tacoma
as the "gateway" to Alaska.
The 0:30 passenger was held up this
morning just as it pulled out of The
Dalles, not by masked highwaymen
but by the men who are blasting off

rock all over the track, and the men
forced the train to wait on the bridge
until the rock could be removed.

number belonging, 662; average daily
attendance, 637. For the month just

age daily attendance, 655-.
Messrs. C. W. Durrott and G. V
Jones have begun the publication of
the Oregon Teachers' Monthly at Port
land, a journal devoted to educational
matters. A perusal of the new publi
cation reveals the fact that its pages
are filled with suggestions and ideas
beneficial to teachers, and it should be
in the hands of every educator in the
state. The subscription prlo9 is one
dollar a year, which puts it within the
reach of all.
Drs. Geibendprfer and Ruedy, . have
formed a partnership In the practice of
medicine and surgery. In addition to
the office here they will open an office
in The Dalles. Dr. Geisendorfer is
too well known as a popular physician
to require any comment from the
Record. Dr. Ruedy comes to this
place well recommended, and has to
his credit the benefit of nearly two
years practice in the Good Samaritan
hospital Arlington Record.

Farmers have smiles all over their
faces on accouut of the copious showers
that are falling at present. They are
sufficient to wet the ground so that
plowing can be begun everywhere
which is an assurance that there will
be a big crop in 1898.
At present Marshal Lauer is kept
quite busy repairing cross walks and

severe, and it will be some time before
he fully reeev.ers.
The Portland wholesalers who have
been hobnobbing in the ciliej east of
here as far as Boise, will arrive in The
Dalles Monday at 3:30 P. M. What
kind of a reception they will receive
is problematical. As a rule The
DalleB does not feel disposed to extend
the "glad hand" to : Portlandmer
chants after having been Ignored for
the past quarter of a century, and in
conesquence will not exert any extra
efforts to entertain them now, espec
ially since having been given such a
cold shake last Sunday.
This forenoon the time of the circuit
court was taken up selecting a jury In
the case of the state vs. Jacob Prahl,

He Found an "Undeveloped Empire
Several Gold Mines.
Some time since Benton Killin, of
Portland, was sent to Alaska as an
"expert" from the agricultural de
partment, presumably to enquire into
the agricultural possibilities of that
retrion, but in reality as a reward for
his assistance in theelectiou of 1896. in
carrying the state for McKinley; and
he has made a report, that evidences
the absurdity of his selection as an
agricultural expert. , His rejiort as
given in the Associated Press dis
patches is as follows:
"Alaska is an undeveloped empire,
wailing for the geDius and energy of
the Angio-Saxon race to transform it
from the wilderness into a state of
civilization. The Indians of that
region are fast disappearing from the
earth, and to are the fur-bearing animal.--,
which is evidence that the
period of development is at hand
From tho southern boundary to Cook
iulet-, the limit of my exploration,
there are' resources of untold value.
Everybody knows about the fisheries,
ti-e vast f.; : osts of good timber, the
coal, coppt-r and gold, but one who
ha3 hot seen the country can scarcely
appreciate its wonderful advantages.
The famed Treadwell gold mine is
now operating 300 stamps. The ore,
which is of low grade, averages only $3
to tha ton, but it costs only $1 per ton
to mine and mill it, and the net pro
duct of yellow metal is $900 per day.
The plant runs day and night, 303 days
in the year, Christmas day and the
Fourth of July being the only oc
casions when there is a cessation of
work. But there are other bodies of
ore far richer than tho Treadwell that
will be developed In the near future.
When sluce-box miners up on Cook
inlet get away, mills will be put up and
big amounts of gold will be produced.
"There is not in all the world a more
fascinating proposition than the invas
ion of Alaska by citizens of the United
so that Argentina's crop will como
into competition with American wheat
within four or five months. And Rus
sia Is putting out more wheat by
several million tons than was expected
Taking all these elements Into con
sideration. It does not seem likely that
there will be an advance of present
prices, and those who have net sold
will scarcely realize what they could
have a mouth ago.

From this report it is difficult to see
what new knowledge the agricultural
departmeat has obtained regarding
the possibilities of growing cereals or
moss In Alaska through sending the
Portland lacyer there, for he utterly
neglects to mention anything connec
ted with that branch. One would sup
pose from the report that he had been
sent to Alaska on a junketing tour at
the expense of the government, which
in reality is the case.

SPOKANE SENSATION'.
Mayor and Prominent Citizens Arrested
Last Saturday.
At Spokane Saturday Postmaster
Malono caused the arrest of Mayor
Olmstead, A. A. Newbury, E. B. Hyde
and D. F. Wetzell, all prominent citi
zens. They were officers and directors
of the defunst Citizens' National Bank,
which failed with a deposit of $8110 of
postofflce money. As the bank was
not a United States depository, the
loss fell upon Postmaster Malone and
his ' bondsmen. He-charges the de
fendants with taking his deposit,
"knowing that the bank was then and
there Insolvent, and It falling circum
stances." It is said that efforts have
been made for a compromise, but. noth
ing came of them, and in three days
the statute of limitations wouldS have
exempted the defendants from further
action, and so this course was taken.
The warrants of arrest were served
upon them by the chief of police, and
they appeared in the municipal court
and were released on bonds of $1000
each.-. . .-.
' Howland Convicted, -r"
The jury Wore whom I. V. How-
land was tried Tuesday was out only
ashoittime deciding upon a verdict,
and when they returned into court
brought a verdict of guilty as charged
in the indictment. The charge on
which Mr. Howland was convicted was
larceny by bailee, in selling mortgaged
property. He had mortgaged his crop
to J. L. Story to secure a note for $100,
and when the crop was harvested, sold
the hay and grain, neglecting to take
up the note. His defense was that
after selling the crop he had taken the
proceeds of the sale home, intending
to pay the $100 to Mr. Story; had
placed the money in a bureau drawer
in his he-use., from whence it was stolen
before he. had n opportunity to cancel
his debt to Mr. Story. Evidently the
jury d!4 aot accept Mr. Howland's
story as true.
A Kemarkablo Case.
The marriage of Miss Isham to Mr.
Leo Brune, which wa9 celebrated very
quietly at the home of Jas. Hinnell, of
Hartland, on Sunday, Nov. 7, 1897,
it being the 7th birthday of ths bride's
grandfather, A. J. Pitman. will long
be remembered by those present, who
wish all three many happy returns of
the day. Goldendale Sentinel.
It is rather a peculiar colncedence
that Miss Isham should have been
married on her grandfather's 7th an
niversary. It is also peculiar - that
Mr. Pitman at the ago of 7 years
shouli have a granddaughter old
enough to be married. This would
cause the inquisitive mind to wonder
how old Miss Isham's parents are, and
also to be somewhat Inquisitive about
the young lady's age. We have al
ways known Klickitat county was pro
lific, but never thought it could pro
duce two generations of adults in seven
years. The wish of the Sentinel that
an tnree "may nave many nappy re
turns of the day" is but natural as to
Mr. Pitman, for being a grandfather
at the age of 7, he is entitled to many
returns of bis anniversary, and to keen
pace with ordinary, humanity they
should be of frequent ocenrrence; but
to lsh Mr. and MrsiBrune "many re
turns" of tber wedding day Is to en
courage divorce proceedings, which
Is hardly likely the hope of the Sen.
tinel. If the Sentinel Has made no
mistake in figures, this is one of the
most remarkable cases on record.
Phrases and Expressions Yon Wish
Might Hear No More. .
Were you born, sensitive as to the
effects upon the intellect and nerves of
"chestnuts?" Then you were born out
of your time. This is the age of "chest
nuts," observes the New York Herald,
Ardently, but in vain, do you wish.
that every rose you see might indeed
be "the last rose of summer," so weary
are you of hearing them declare it.
Make a remark about a name and they
are panting to put the question:
"What's in a name?" with an air of
conscious and original wit. It seems
as if to their constitution a suppressed
.quotation were as dangerous as sup
pressed gout, and were they to enter
a darkened room with a companion,
without a reference to "darkness vis
ible" the quotation lnig-ht strike inward
with fatal effect. .
Speak of an object of beauty and they
must throw out of their system "A thing
of beauty is a joy forever" like a rash;
that it would be dangerous to suppress,
Should you mention any sight or sound
seen or heard a little way off they will
trip up your last words by reminding
you that "distance lends enchantment
to the view." If they call at your house
but seldom they will infallibly assert
that their visits are like those of the
angels "few and far between;" if they
come often, that they return to you
"like a bad penny." Is the practice of
quotation, then, tobe ruthlessly sup
pressed without pity, without excep
tion I Certainly not. There are some
quotations which are not merely per
missible but indispensable, and which
we feel we could no more do without in
Writing and conversation than we could
get on without shillings and sixpences

; j HUNTING THE BALLOT. :
It Was Loaded.
About 8 o'clock Tuesday Web Var
ney and Willie Kasberger found an
old pistol in a desk in the back room
of Varney 4 Co.'s market and suppos
ing it wa aot loaded began scuffling
to see who ' should have posesslon of
the gun. But it was loaded and in the
scuffle was discharged while pointing
at young Kasberger's side. . Fortu
nately the ball struck one of the lower
ribs on the left side, and ranged around
to his back where it lodged against the
skin. The boys proceeded to Dr.
Doane's office after the shooting, and
got the doctor to take the ball out of
young Kasberger's back, relieving
him from his temporary.: suffering.
The plstokwas a 38-callbre revolver of
a cheap make, and did not inflect , a
serious wound, though the boy will
have a pretty sore side for a time.

Freight and passenger traffic pn the
river between The Dalles and Portland
has so increased that the D. P. & A.
N. Co. has put on an extra boat, the
Maria, and will keep it in service until
the river closes with ice. The White
Star line finds all It oan do with one
boat, the lone, and is contemplating
putting another boat on the river at
an early date. From this It would
seem that shippers prefer river trans
portation to rail, and that the carrying
trad a between these points is likely to
be done by boat In the future. This
increase of traffic also speaks well for
The Dalles as a shipping point, and
shows that it has no competitor in
the Inland Empire since the full bene
fits of an open river have been realized.
About Wheat.
Many farrners who hare not yet dis
posed of their 1897 crop are wondering
if the recant fall in price is to be per
manent. Indications ace that it is.
Tonage from Portland still stays up,
and shows no signs of -being reduced,
as owners of vessels seeing plenty of
wheat in sight that must be moved
will scarcely reduce the rate of chart
ers. Besides this, recent reports of
crop conditions In Argentina are very
flattering. The drouth in that country
is ended and it is now estimated there
will be an immense surplus of wheat
harvested in that country next year,
Simmons Is Gnllty.
This Is the verdict returned by the
jury last night. Simmons was jointly
indicted with Hugh Brown and Robert
Wilson for assaulting on the public
highway and robbing a number of
Indians one night last July near the
O. R. & N. ice house above The Dalles.
He asked for a separate trial, and the
jury has returned a verdict of guilty as
charged, so the other defendants will
probably plead guilty. .The trio were
indicted on three counts, and Simmons
was tried on the first highway rob
bery. It is not likely that the defend
ants will demand trial on the other in-di'ctmeninpe'-Simmons
has been
convioted, as upon Slramons' trial all
the cas hinged and they will likely all
plead guilty to the different offenses.
"'
Kvery Day Alike.
It matters not whether in rain or sun
shin othe house must be furnished, but
the economical housewife wants it done
at the least possible cost. Good, dur
able furniture at moderate price is what
all demand, and the people of the sur
rounding country are rapidly learning
that these are to be found at the Great
Northern Furniture Store. Com
parison of goods and prices will con
vince anybody that he dan save money
by buying furniture of all kinds, ranges,
kitchen utensils, etc., at this establish
ment, and at the same time have a wide
stock to select from. It's no trouble
to show goods, and the public is re
quested to call and inspect them and
get prices, . -
A Field Where Forger and Manlpqlaloc
Have Worked Successfully.
In no field of literature have tho
forger and the manipulator -worked
with greater vigor and success, says
the Atlantic Monthly. From Percy's
day to our own it has been thought
an' innocent device to publish a bit of
one's own versifying, now and then, os
on "old ballad" or an "ancient song."
Often, too, a late stall copy of a ballad,
getting Into oral circulation, has been
innocently furnished to collectors as
traditional matter. Mere learning will
not guide an editor through these per
plexities. What is needed is, in ad
dition, a complete understanding of
the "popular" genius, a sympathetic
recognition of the traits that charac
terize oral literature wherever and in
whatever degree they exist. This fac
ulty, which even the folk has not re
tained, and which collectors living in
ballad-singing and tale-telling times
have often failed to acquire, was vouch
safed by nature herself to the late Prof.
Child. In reality a kind of instinct, it
had been so cultivated by long and
loving study of the traditional litera
ture of all nations that it had become
wonderfully swift in its operations and
almost infallible. No forged or re
touched piece could deceive him for a
moment; he detected the slightest jar
in the genuine ballad tone. He speaks
in one place of certain writers "who
would have been all the better histori
ans for a little reading of romances,
He was himself the better interpreter
of the poetry of art for this keen sym
pathy with the poetry of nature.

Rather Fishy.
Last night two men, Ed Martin and
John Templeine,. engaged a room at
the Columbia hotel, which they oc
cupied during the . night, and this
morning both claimed they had been
robbed. Templeine ,clj.iras to have
lost $55 and Martin gays he is out $25.
Both assert that ..when they retired
they placed theip'pattts, in the pockets
of which was the money, under their
respective pillows, locked the door to
their room and went to sleep. When
they awqke their cqonpy was gone, and
the door to their . room was , unlocked.
Each accuses the other of the theft.
Their stories are rather fishy, and the
impression is that' both are ira posters.
The public is invited to come and
see the chrysanthenums, they are now
in full bloom, and this is the best time
