the surplus at once
negotiation failed to go through.
Judge Mays returned yesterday from
Antelope. He says a Chinook wind

The annual election, of officers of the

Tbe greatest fake of the present day
is the word building contest. Every
contestant, no matter how many words
they build from the word or sentence,
are made to believe that they are tbe
winners of the first or second prize,
an elegant diamond ring worth $24 or
a scarf pin worth nearly as much, and
all that is necessary for them to get it
is to send $1 or whatever the prfce is
for a magazine, probably not worth
five cents a year. If they are gullible
they bite. The ring or scarf pin
comes and the recipient rushes off to
the jeweler to find what it it worth.
They are somewhat humiliated when
told ten cents.

ceed to do the work and charge the
same with costs to the property. This
is a move in the right direction, and
all property owners, should assist the
mar9balias Second street in its present
condition is a disgrace to the city, and
the sooner the mud is cleaned up and
carted away tbe sooner will we have a
thoroughfare that is in keeping with
the city.
Why One of Our Divines Didn't Officiate
at a Wedding.
A sensation has lately been sprung
in London among the preachers. The
charge is made that a number of the
ministers of tbe gospel have been in
the habit of tipping cab drivers to
bring couples, that wereseekingto en
joy the pleasures and try the hardships
of married life, to their churches. Tbe
result was, as it always tvill bo, that
the ones who hustled for business got
it and the others who considered it be
neath the dignity of a clergyman to
have a capper for the game, as it were,
protested vigorously against the per
nicious habit.
Now we do not for a moment wish
to insinuate that our ministers are in
the habit of tipping cab drivers in tht
same manner, far from it, but we do
know that they are very solicitious for
a young man wbo is matrimonatly in
clined. It was only Monday that one of
The Dalles most.popular ministers
was sitting in his study pondering over
the subject of next Sunday's sermon,
when a gentle tapping came wrapping
at the door, it was not the raven Oh !
No, only a young man, who wished
some advice in regard to procuring a
marriage license and having the knot
tied. After a few preliminary ques
tions in regard to the girl's name and
residence, the minister accompanied
the would be Benedict to the court
house, where Sim, wbo is ever ready
to put a young man on the right road,
gave bim an unlimited first class
ticket which entitled the young mas
to embark on the highway to eternal
happiness or . The minister of
course, acting as a witness for the pur
chasers. After Sim had fixed every
thing satisfactorily for all concerned
tbe minister departed with his friend
and as the clerk's office supposed, after
bis fee.
Nothing more was thought 'of the
matter until this morning when a
paper was thrust into Sim's face ac
companied with the exclamation "I
want that money back, my brother got
this license yesterday and ho hasn't
even asked the girl yet, ho is not in
his right mind."
Sim returned tbe money, canceled
the ticket and all was still in tbe
clerk's office, save the scratching of a
pen as it glided over the deed book.

THE WHEAT CROP OF 1897.
A British Editor Makes an Estimate of the
World's Supply.
Mr. Broomhall, editor of the Liver
pool Corn Trade News, has revised
early estimates of the wheat croj for
1897, and found a shortage in Europe
of 360,000,000 bushels. Outside of Eu
rope there has been an excess oyer the
average crop ol zw,wo,vw ousneia.
The United States is credited with
592,000,000 bushels, which is 150,000,000
bushels in excess of an average crop.
If Mr. Broomhall's estimates are cor
rect, Europe has made a narrow escape
from a wheat famine. If the Ameri-
can crop had just reached the average,
the difference between the average
and the estimated crop would have
been taken out of the amount avail
able for export. Assuming the Amer
ican surplus to be as large as Mr.
Broomhall's estimates, he does not
see from what quarter wheat enough
is to be obtained to furnish Europe
with its ordinary supply. The Argen
tina crop promises well, but is Btlll ex
posed to the perils of the month before
harvest. The purport of Mr. Broom
hall's calculation is that Europe would
serye its own interest in buying as
heavily as it can without causing a ma
terial advance in prinoe. When an
Old World statistician advise Europe
to buy wheat, the American seller
would accept the advice as an intima
tion that there is more likely to be a
rise than a fall in wheat prices. So
sagacious a British editor as Mr.
Broomhall would not offer his advice
on terms that would create a panic.

flavor of the beet, but when sugared
off it had the appearance and much
the same flavor of maple sugar. From
seventy pounds of beets he got six
pounds of sugar. It has been supposed
heretoforo that sugar couldn't, be pro
fitably made from beets without t'Xten
sive machinery, but this experiment
opens a broad field for experiment and
invention. It seems more than ;rot
able that tbe progressive farmer of the
coast, where the sugar beet grows in
perfection, will soon manufacture cot
only the sugar for his family use, but a
large amount cf raw sugar to sell to
the refiners. Instead of hauling tons
and tons of tbe beets to the distant
factory, he will manufacture the sugar
at home, feeding the waste to the slock,
enriching his land- and adding largely
to his profits. This is a matter worth
investigating."

THE ItlTY IDSiKCIL.
Saloon Burglarized.
The old saying that lightning does
not strike twice in tbe same place can
not be applied to Meat? & Puudt's
saloon on the corner of Court and
Main streets. One year ago last Octo
ber during tbe week the county fair was
being held, the saloon was burglarized
by gaining an entrance through a back
door, the panel being taken entirely
out. The robbers secured about $13
Tuesday morning some time after 2:30
o'clock the saloon was again burglar
ized. This time the entrance was gain
ed through the same door, but in place
of taking the panel out the burglars cut
a hole in the door opposite to where a
bolt holds it secure, and by passiug a
hand through the opening unfastened
the bolt, and finding that they could
not gain admittance on account of the
lock being fastened they forced a
jimmy between the door and the sill
and by main strength sucoeded in get-
ing in. Once in they immediately
went to the till and forcing it open
took what money there was, amounting
to about $3.00. The work must have
been very quickly done as the robbers
did not take time to pull the blinds
down on the windows. Nothing so far
as Known was aisturoea in tne saloon
except tne till. J. he robbers did not
even stop to take a drink. Taking this
tatter iaoc as a clew sneriH Driver and
Marshal Lauer are now at work on
the case.

Miners at Baker City,
J. H. Cradlebaughj of The Dalles
Chronicle, and R. B. Sinnott passed
through Baker City yesterday on a
visit to their mines at. Robinsonville.
It is a pleasure to note the entrance in
to the mining field of Eastern Oregon
of two such representative and enter
prising gentlemen as these, for their
influence extends farther than many
people know of in many ways, and if
their efforts meet with even a fair
measure of success it will mean much
to tbe rain es of Baker. Mother Earth
owes a good mine to Jack Cradlebaugh.
Few men have done more for this sec
tion in the way of drawing the atten
tion of capital to the wonderful
mineral resources of this district than
he. It is stated by those who are able
to judge, that he and his associates
have acquired a mine of undoubted
merit in one of the best districts in
in this state. Mr. Cradlebpugh has
had a wide range of experience in
mining affairs May success crown all
his efforts and that of every man
identified with him. He deserves it,
for he shows his faith by his works.

CAUSTIC-IN MOTHS.
Discovery of tbe Substance Csed In Ks
Cfj.plug from Cocoons.
A most remarkable entomological dis
covery has been announced by Oswald
L-atter, the great naturalist. It is to the
effect that the imago of themoih Dicra
nurn vinula secretes a pure caustic
potash which it uses to penetrate the
tough silken bag or cocoon in which
it is inclosed, says the St. Louis Eenub
lic. Caustic potash is, cs most everyone
knows, a powerful caustic which de
stroys skin and flesh when brought in
contact with it. That it should be se
creted or formed in. the mouth or inter
nal anatomy of any living creaure is
so singular and unlikely that the ento
mologists were at first inclined to dis
believe the story as related by Mr. Lat
ter, in telling of his discovery.
It has long been known that this par
ticular species of mot h used Feme kind
of liquid with which to soften the co- J
coon when he arrived at the age when
nature hinted that it was time to get
rid of the silken envelope, but Mr. Lat
ter's experiments have for the first timfi
disclosed the nature of that liquid.
Prof. Latter made this singular discov
ery by clipping the ends from cocoons
end catching the liquid when it was
ejected. This he subjected to chemical
analysis.
Can't be done!
Try to make some baking powder yourself. Buy
the cream of tartar and soda, mix them in the right
proportions.
Then imagine that you are the manufacturer, and
have to make a profit, and besides, sell it to the grocer
at such a price that he can make a profit too.
Ask your grocer to sell you his best cream of tar
tar, see what it costs, and see if you can make pure
good baking powder for 25 or 30 cents a pound.
It can't be done.

We the jury empaneled by W. B,

gon, to inquire into the cause of the
death of a person whose body is now
before vs find as fol'ows:
.l oat tne name oi tne deceased was

years, and was at the time of his death
he was pile inspector and had charge
of pile inspection for the O. R. & N,

The Leader says:
"It may be cf interest to tbe farmers
of Lincoln county to know that a
Michigan farmer has demonstrated
that sugar caa be manufactured from
beets without an expensive machinery.
He simply grated the beets, pressed
out the juice with a cider press and
boiled it as you would boil the sup of
the sugar maple. During the process
of boiling, be says the syrup had the

writes of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure. "Two years
ago an attack of LaGrlppe left me with a
weak heart. I had run down in flesh to
mere skin and hone. I could not sleep lying
down for 6motbering spells; frequent sharp
darting pains and palpitation caused a con
stant fear of sudden death, nothing could
Induce ma to remain away from home over
night. My local physician prescribed Dr.
Jules' Heart unre ana in a few days I was
able to sleep well and the pains gradually
lessened, and finally ceased. I reduced" the
the doses, having gained fifteen pounds, and
am now feeling better in every way than I
nave for years."
