The wheat market has gone all to
pieces the past few days, owing prin
cipally to the lack of tonage to carry it
to the hungry people of Europe. It is
hardly probable there will be another

farmer who gets anything above 70
cents from now until January may con
sider himself fortunate.
There was an abundance of side
splitting events at the Vogt opera
house last night. The play was "Side
Tracked," which is a farce from start
to finish. The company is a fair one
and does some clever acticg, but the

court scene in the last act. Neverthe
less' there were enough laughable
eyents in the play rendered last night
to make up for the ridiculous ending.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB,
At Home
Quarter
in the Kefurnighed
Saturday Night.
Last Saturday evening The Dalles
Commercial and Athletic Club opened
its refurnished rooms, and entertained
some i100 guests. The rooms were
0x:ncd at 8 o'clock and in a re
markably short spae of time they
were filled with the youth and beauty
of the city. The apartments were
tastefully decorated, and throughout
presented a most attractive appear
anco. Every room in the building had
been refurnished, new papers had been
placed on the walls and the wood work
repainted and varnished so that it
showed most brilliant.
At tne opening, the athletic rooms
attracted -the greatest attention and
the bowling alley was well patronized
during the evening. Though the par
lors on the second floor were thronged,
the guests making themselves comfort
able and the members of the club ex
erted every possible means for enter
taining their guests.
The new club rooms are indeed a
credit to the city, and to the club. On
either side of the landing on the
second floor is a spacious parlor, while
the extreme north end of the building
is set apart as the billiard room, sup
plied with two billiard ' tables and
numerous card tables, and in the south
end of the building is the smoking
room also the director's and secretary's
offices.
Throughout the apartments are
elegantly apportioned, and have been
arranged with a view to beauty and
comfort. No pains has been spared to
make the club quarters attractive and
too much credit cannot be given tho
board of directors for the success with
which their labors have been crowned.
The club may now be considered one
of the permanent organizations of The
Dalles, and many benefits must result
from its cxistance. Aside from the
commercial feature which is the pre-
dominent office for which it was or
ganized, and through which influence
all matters pretaining to the upbuild
ing of the city must originate, the
social feature of tho club must prove
predominant. In the club rooms young
men will find sources of amusement
and comfort, a place where they can
spend evenings surrounded with every
thing fhat is elevating, and will also
be thrown into the society of those
whose influence will be beneficial.
The club is indeed an organization
that is worthy the moral and financial
support of every citizen of the city,

Ex-Gov. McConnell, of Idaho, who is
a special inspector of Indian agencies,
and who has made a general inspection
of tht, agencies in the West, has cer
tainly done excellent work, and will be
prepared to make a report to the de
partment that will probably open the
eyes of some of those high in authority
at Washington.
In conversation with a Times-Moun
taineer reporter, Gov. McConnell
stated that be had discovered during
his inspection a system connected with
freights in supplying the several
agencies by which the government
loses millions of dollars annually. On
account of the ignorance of men in
charge of the shipping, a system has
been adopted by which all supplies
forwarded to agencies are classed as
tbird-ciass freight, whereas in reality
they should be rated as fourth and
fifth class. As a result, in supplying
the many agencies, the government is
required to pay what a business man
would consider exorbitant rates for
like service.
This Gov. McConnell says is owing
to the ignorance of men in charge of
the business at Washington. They
base their calculations upon the fact
that freights are rated from first to
fifth class, and have struck an average,
estimating that third class rates would
be about the average, and have es
tablished that as a basis for all freights,
whereas most of the freights forwarded
by the government would be classed at
tbe lowest rate.
In his report, Gov. McConnell will
recommend a radical change in this
line of the Indian service, and expects
it to result in a great saving to the de
partment.

We have also inquired into and dis
missed several matters that were of
such trival nature as not to warrant
further action.
Wo have made a cursory examina
tion of tho coucty cierk's, sheriff's and
county treasurer's oilices, and have no
criticisms to oirer as to methods or
manner of keepirg the records and ac
counts of these offices.
The attention of the county court is
called to the insecure condition of the
shutters of the window in the vault of
tho county clerk's office.
The attention of said court is also
called to the condition of our county
jail, which we find to be badly arranged
and inadequate for its purposes. Our
jail coctoins four cells, three of which
are only Gx9 and one 8x9 feet in dimen
sion. In each cell we found three un
comfortable cots or hammocks, the
cell itself having no ventilation except
with the corridors of the jail.
To confine three persons to tho lim
ited space of one of these cells, breath
ing only the vitiated air of the corri
dors, aud sleeping on most uncomfort
able beds, does not seem to us to be
either prudent or humane. t
Thoinmate90ftheja.il protested in
strong terms against the food furnish
ed tbem. We inquired into the mat
ter, and conclude that their complaints
were somewhat exagerated. We would,
however, call the attention of the
members of the legislative assembly
from this county to tho propriety of
securing an amendment to Sec. 2341.
Hill's annotated code of Oregon, which
gives the sheriff 85 per week for keep
ing prisoners when the number does
not exceed four, and $3 per week when
the number exceeds four. Evidence is
I not wanting that in some instances, the
contractor wno supplies the prisoners
with food receives only twelve cents
per meal and for but two meals each
day.
It is the opinion of this grand jury
that the boarding of prisoners should
not be a source of revenue to any of
ficer, and we believe that it would be
in tbe interest of humanity and effect
a saving to the- county if the section
referred to could bo so amended as te
give to county courts control in this
matter.
We believe that any person con
fined in our county jail is entitled to
wholesome food, pure air and a com
fortable bed, at least up to tbe time of
his conviction.
The grand jury visited the poor farin
and questioned inmates apart from the
contractor, none of whom bad the least
complaint as to treatment received.
One lady informed us that it was just
like home there, and all the apart
ments of the -house seemed well or
dered and cleanly.
We deem it our duty to offer a word
of caution to the justices of the peace
and committing magistrates of the
county against sending to the county
jail persons accused of trivial offenses
which usually result in acquittal, in
volving only great expense to the
county.
in conclusion, we oeg leave to ac
knowledge the assistance and courtesy
shown us by the court and district
attorney and the respective county
officers.
Having to the best of our knowledge
and ability discharged all the duties
incumbent upon us, we respectfully
ask to be discharged from further
service. E. I Smith, Foreman.

"The Klondike companies that are
being widely advertised all over the
country are stock jobbing schemes.
They are after purchasers for their
stock, small investors who will pus in
tbem little savings and lose them. If
prospects of these companies' wero as
bright as tney are painted there would
be no scarcity of money for their oper-
otion and the little fellows would never
be given an opportunity to share in
the good fortune. But as things are,
the risics are too great for the big fel

Ed. Times-Mountaineer:
Assuming that, as fair minded peo
ple, the citizens of The Dalles believe
in reciprocity, that 'is to say, if any
one does them some especial good they
believe they should return it in some
way, we put this case before them,
They have undoubtedly received
some benefits, both directly and indi
rectly, through the advent of the oppo.
pition line on the river directly by
the reduction of freight rates one half,
and indirectly by the prestiage that
our city will now have over other
Eastern Oregon towns by terminal
rates.
The farmers have received one cent
and a half per bushel more for their
wheat through tbe rate of the cents
per hundred, established by the White
Star Line, and that means more money
in circulation, which is for the benefit
of all. When you figure cut the
amount of new trade that will-be
drawn here this next year through a
low freight rate, and corresponding
prices on goods, can't you see where
you will be still further benefited?
You will admit that the White Star
Line has been the entering wedge into
the high rate compact and have cut it
in two. Have they not done you good?
Will you return it? Will you help
yourself and your town out by patron
izing the White Star Line, by giving
them at least a share of your business?
Every man should favor it, for it is
money in his pocket. Every woman
should fayor it, for it is to the interest
of their husbands, brothers and lovers;
eyery child should favor it, for it
means better times for The Dalles, and
the surrounding country.
CITIZEN.
SMALL VALUE OK LIFE.
A Jury In the Circuit Court Keturns a Ver
dict of SOO.
Last night the jury in the case of C.
E. Bayard et al vs. The Standard Oil
Co. returned a verdict of $500 damages
in favor of tbe plaintiffs.
This case grew out of the death of
Perry Watkins, which occurred a year
ago last June, it is alleged through the
fault of the defendant. Mr. Watkins
was driving past the oil tank then un
der course of construction by the
company, on the road beyond tbe
Wasco warehouse. His horses became
frightened, Mr,. Watkins was thrown
out of his wagon, and received in
juries from which he died.
The jury by its verdict - certainly
said the defendant was responsible for
Mr. Watkins' death bv allowing dam
ages to his administrators. But tho
damages are extremely low to say the
least. A human life certainly is
worth more than the paltry sum of
&00. If it was through an act of negli
gence on the part of the Standard Oil
Co. Mr. Watkins lost his life, the com
pany should certainly have been re
quired to have paid more than S500
damages; it is too low an estimato
placed upon a human life. If the
company was not responsible for the
death then the jury -should have said
so and returned a verdict for the do
fendant. This verdict is on a parallel
with the one recently returned by a
Grant county jury in the case of Hinkle,
who was convicted of killing a peddler
for the purpose of possessing his money
and then burning his body, which was
for manslaughter. The murderer if
guilty at all, was guilty of murder in
the first degree. r.The same is true of
the verdict rendered in this case: if
the Standard Oil Co., was in any way
to blame for ihe death of Mr. Watkins,
it snouia nave oeen required to pay a
reasonable sum, not simply enough to
mulch it for the costs of the action. -
Paid in Full.
Ex-State Senator James H. Raley, of
Pendleton, Oregon, guardiun forChas.
H. Foreman, in acknowledging the re
ceipt of the payment of the death claim
of Eva Foreman, writes:
Pendleton, Ore., Oct. 8, 1897.
Mrs. Brllo Watson, Pendleton, Ore.:
Dear Madam. I bear to acknowledge
receipt of $1,000, payment in full of
beneficiary certificate No. 354, issued
by the Pacific Circle, Women of Wood
craft, and bearing date April 1st, 1897.
In connection herewith permit me to
sincerely thank Daphne Circle No. 2,
of Pendleton, and its officers, -and es
pecially yourself, for the prompt and
busiuess-like manner in which you
have met payment of this certificate.
Recently I have had much experience
in the settlement of death claims
against aiuerent insurance companies
and beneficiary societies, and, without
injustice to others, I say frankly that
the Pacific Circle, Women of Woodcraft-,
is the most prompt in payment
and the most considerate and mindful
of the needs and wants of its members
of auy with whom I have come in con
tact. Eyery woman who has others de
pendent upon her should belong to the
noble order of Women of Woodcraft,
and would do so, I am Bure, if tbey
fully understood the fraternal ties of
your order.
Wishing the particular Circle of
which you are a member a large and
prosperous growth in the immediate
future, I am, Respectfully
James H. Raley,
Guardian of Charles H. Foreman.
