The state board of equalization went
through the formalities of meeting
and adjourning in' Salem, the other
"day. The board was at a loss how to
procure a copy1 of a certain decision
that ft wished to consider, and after
finding out that there was no money
appropriated for purchasing decisions,
D. P. Thompson was delegated to make
a trio to Portland, and borrow, if -he
could, the book from Judge Northup.
The decision could have been copied
by a private stenographer for about
$2.50. The daily expenses of the
board, including mileage, according to
former changes, is about $130. This
' - would make an expenditure of $130 in
: order to save $2.50.

Of all the fruit shipped a few months
ago to the East with the green ship

Democrat can learn, has ever been

Hungarian prunes brought $147, con'
siderable above the costs, has heard
that the matter was pending settle

freight, and that there would be a re
port as soon as the freight could be
adjusted.
Merchants of Pendleton, and their
clerks, have been discussing the ad
visability of closing their establish
ment at 6 o'clock in the evening
during the months of January
and February. It is argued that if all
should close the business of none
would suffer ia consequence, and the
strata upon the patience and good
nature of the amiable people who serve
the public would be greatly lessened,
thus increasing their cheerfulness
when on duty.

Last night about 9 o'cloe a number
of men and boys assembled in the old
Schmidt mill in the west end of town
and made night hideoub by their yell
ing and carrying on. N-o one seems to
know who they were or whence they J
came. As soon as Jughtwatcnman
Wiley neard about the affair he in
vestigated it, but the men had all left
the mill and he was unable to gain any
information about them.
It is the general verdict of all per
sons who have attended Prof. Mc

The civil engineers have commenced
work again on the new railroad bridge,
A number of men were at work this
morning levelling the piles, that have
been recently driven, preparatory to
putting on the large timbers that are
to support the bridge.
A slight row occurred in the white
chapel district last nigh tin which beer
bottles and glasses played an active
part and a number of sore heads are
the result. Warrants were threatened
to be sworn out but after sober reflec
tion . the storm was allowed to pass
over unnoticed by the icjured ones.
The pool of water that has accumu
lated from the recent rains on Fourth
street between Washington and Court
has been drained by the marshal. It
required considerable work to do the
job as there was no sewer handy, but
it is better to spend a few dollars tap
ping the water now, than trying to
beat malaria in the spring.
This morning about 10 o'clock while
some meat was being unloaded from
Wood Bro's. delivery wagon at the
depot, the horse took fright at an en
gine and a lively run away ensued.
The driver, who had hold of the reins,
hung on and was pulled through the
mud to Worsley's grocery store where
the horse, after scattering the meat
along the street, was brought to a
stand sti'l.
The Elks benefit given last night in
the Vogt opera house by Prof. Mc
Ewen, the hypnotist, was a success in
every respect. The professor seemed
to be at his best. The manner in
which he had his subjects shaking
dice, playing pianos on a chair and
scrambling for fruit was enough to
make the most skeptical believe. It is
even reported, that on account of the
way some of the subjects acted towards
the brooms that were supposed to be
their sweethearts, The Dalles is to
have some sensational gossip.
Thomas Carlyle who was charged
with stealing a dog from Richard
Brookhouse, had his preliminary ex
amination before Justice Filloon yes
terday afternoon. The testimony as
far as introduced tended to shew that
Carlyle was seen to call the dog, tie a
rope around nis neck and lead mm
away. The horse which the defendant
was alleged to have been riding at the
time was tracked by the peculiar shoe
it had on. . No testimony having been
introduced by the defendant, Judge
Filloon bound him over to appear be
fore the next grand jury in the snm
of $200.00.

Despite inclement weather and
other attractions, the social gh en by
the Circle last night was well attended,
Fraternity ball being filled. The pro

Views of Men Who Have Been There and
Are fteturnlng-
The steamer Elder, which has been
waiting 24 hours for an opportunity to
put to sea. will probably get out today.
Among her passengers is a man named
H. H. Hixson, of Portland, who came
down on the Elder's last trip and is
now returning to Skagway. He says
that town has the best prospects" of any
point in that country. The hammer
never ceases its music. In the con
struction of new houses and buildinsr? ,
there seems to be no end of work for
all who want employment. Carpenteis
are getting large wages, CO cents to $1
per hour being the average. No hobos
reach that country, as walking is not
good, anil the steamship companies
look out for stowaways. An electric
light plant is being completed, a largo
gang of men are at work on the wagou
road over the pass and the U'amway
will be finished in the spring. Skag
way's future is pictured as a brightone.
Just one year ago Monday, the 6th,
Walter Nash started from Dawicn
City with a large pack of mail anil suc
cessfully made the trip up the Yukon
and over Chilcoot pass and into Dyea.
.Nash, who is a Portland man, came
down to Oregon on the Elder recently,
on a business trip, and is now one of
her passengers back to Skagway. He
says he will get through to Dawson iu
a short time, and that all tho news
paper reports published from Dawson
City and Alaska have been greatly ex
agerated and highly colored. There is
plenty of gold in Alaska and Klondike,
but.it, doesn't come in the big chunks,
as published. The country is not so
rough and difficult of access as pictured
Anyone can get through now over
Chilcoot pass, with perfect comfort,
if ha knows his business The pass
itself is, he says, about like the hills
back of Astoria. There is but one
short steep place on it. After reach
ing the lakes thare are miles and miles
which can be traversed by sledge, un
der sail, over the ice and snow. Not
onlv are tho people not starving in
Dawson City and the mining districts,
I but they are better off for food and
. clothing than thousands of poor
I wretches in the cities of Portland and
San Francisco, which are today organ
izing relief expeditions for the Alaska
miners. He says there is a shortage
in some sections of the mining regions
of certain articles, but not sufficient to
create a famine. His advice is to keep
the relief expeditions at home and re
lieve home sufferers, as there is plenty
of food on the way to Alaska, in the
le&ritimate lines of trade. Ho character
izes these relief expeditions a9 mere
ad vertising schemes.
As to the country Mr. JNash says
there are thousands of acres of arable
land which will produce all kinds of
hardy vegetables and grain. On his
own ranch near Dawson, in '96, he
raised beets, turnips, carrots and oats,
which he sold at a good price. He
says there is too much yellow journal
ism for the good of the country, which
has a nne future before it in other re
spects than mining. Properly pro
tected persons do not notice the cold
much more than in Portland. Alaska
is the place for young men of ambition,
who can always earn $3 to $4 in wages.
Skagway and Dyea are both growing
cities and will be gooi commercial
points in the future.
Mr. Nash says that from his obser
vations during his three days stay in
Astoria this city is planting an acorn
which will soon grow into a mighty
oak of one of the greatest commercial
ports on the Pacific coast. Astorian

The Occasion of Iff. D. Detweiler'a Visit to
Portland.
According to the latest telegraph
advices, Hon. Mead a D. Detweiler,
grand exalted ruler of the Elks, will
arrive in Portland accompanied by his
wife about the 20th of this month.
Sound cities have been notified that if
time permits he will extend his trip
north, and in consequence, they, too
lave placed themselves in communica
tion with him. It is the desire of the
Tacoma and Seattle Elks that he visit
their lodges, but if he cannot in all
probability a state reunion will be ar
ranged in one of the cities, the same
as here.
Mr. Detweiler is coming to Port
land in response to an urgent invita
tion extended by Portland lodge, so
that the reunion of the order in this
state must necessarily take place in
this city. There is considerable en
thusiasm displayed by the Portland
Elks by roasou of tho expected visit
of the bead of the order, and nothing
will be left undono to make his stay an
G enjoyable one. A a meeting of the
local louge last night a reception com
mittee was appointsd consisting ofR.

FLED FROM HER HUSBAND.
Mrs. Ida E. Pierson. of SnsanvUle, Became
Suddenly Insane.
The people of Long Creek, in Grant
eounty, were thrown into a state of ex-
nitem9nt on the 4th inst., by the
appearance on the streets of a woman
carrying a casekmfe and a stone
weighing five or six pounds, and who
stopped and told everyone she met
that her husband . was trying to kill
her. She was almost barefooted, her
shoes being worn out by a fearful
tramp in the mud and rain. Her dress
was torn ani muddy, and her hair was
langing down her back. It soon be
came evident that she was insane, says
ihe Lexg Creek Eagle.
As soon as hor condition became
known he was taken in charge by
City Marshal Ward, who took her to
the Memaiental hotel, where she was
kindly caned for, and made as comfert-
nbte as -pescible by a number of ladies
M-ho kindly volnuteered their assist
ance, ana -everytning mat couia oe
was done te relieve her mind of the
Ihorrible detluaion, but only with tem
porary results, rne next morning
she was placed inder tie care of a
doctor, wbo -has hopes that she may
yet recover hersjind.
It was soon learned that the woman
was the newly-wedded wife of N. Pier-
:son, who resides'searSusanville, about
20 miles east of Long Creek, and that
she had suddenly became insane the
night before her appearance in Long
Creek.
Mrs. Pierson is an English lady, and
about 24 years old, and even with her
affliction shows herself fo have been a 1
refined and cultured woman, and is
modest and talks rationally only in the
presence of the man whom she seems
to utterly loathe. "She was married
about three months ago in Canada to
Pierson, who became acquainted with
her through an advertisement for cor
respondence in a paper, which finally
led to a meeting and a wedding the
following day, and a long journey to
Pierson's home at Susanville, where
neighbors 'ive far apart and visitors
are not very frequent during the win
ter months, which fact together with
Pierson's absen3a at work during tho
entire day a greater portion of the
time, so preyed upon her mind that, in
sheer desperation, she says, she (ltd
from his home that terrible, cold Fri
day night, her only object in view
being to return to her mother and to
get away from her husband.
McEwen and the lks.
After the entertainment at the
opera house had closed last Saturday
evening, Prof. McEwen was invited
to the hall of Cascade Lodge, where
he was entertained by the members,
and in return entertained the lodye
by performing siomi clever acts in
mind reading and legerdemain. A
splendid lunch had been prepared by
the Bal.iwin restaurant and was heart
ily enjoyed by the ant'ored fraternity.
Then Prof. McEwen devoted half an
hour to showing his ability as a mind
reader and sleight of hand performer.
The feats he performed were very
clever, and at the close of his perform
ancd the herd voted that he was ''all
riirht." At the close of the evening, a
resolution was passed which in effect
was that Cascadu Lodge endorses Prof.
McLwen as a perfect gentleman, a
hypnotist of marked ability, and one
whose entertainments are of a nature
that the lodge cheerfully recommends
to their brother Elks throughout the
country.

Uigh Water.
Tho recent heavy rains have caused
the i re 'ks to swell up like a spring
freshet, even ihe mighty Columbia
seems to have taken on a new life and
has risen a few feet.
Mill creek is particularly bother
some justat present. When the O. R.
& N. Company began building a new
bridge, it was deemed necessary to
change the bed of Mill creek further
south. This was done by digging a
loDg ditch near the long trestle and
throwing up a false bank on the north
side. This worked very well while
the creak was a small stream, but as
soon as it began to swell up to a re
spectable cresk the banks commenced
giving away until at present nearly
the whole flat between the two bridges
is over run with water which threatens
to carry away the new fill at the west
approach of the new bridge. This
would be a serious loss to the com
pany as it has taken about fifteen
teams nearly two months to do the
work.
Railroad Rumors.
The Oregonian, and a number oj
valley papers, state that the O. C. & E.
Railroad Co., is preparing to extend
the road into Eastern Oregon, next
summer. Mr. A. 13. Hammond, presi
dent of the road, confirms the story.
The road is intended to traverse the
country betweon Prineville and Pen
dleton. The line has been surveyed,
and the engineers found the road
would be easy to construct east of the
mountains. Crossing the mountains a
little to the northwestof Mount Jeffer
son the route runs to the southwest,
touching Prineville, running along
Malheur lake, thence bending north
easterly and descending the Malheur
valley. The country north of us is not
to be outdone in railroad building,
if newspaper reports are to be be
lieved. One road starts from Vancou
ver and is intended to tap the country
tributary to Goldendale, and another
road i9 on paperfrom Tacoma to Gol
dendale, and proceeding to the Colum
bia river at Columbus.

M
B.O.O. SHULTS. of wmtewet, Iowa,
Inventor and manufacturer oi

writes of Dr. Miles Heart Cure. "Two years
ago an attack of LaGrtppe left me with a
weak heart. I had ran down in flesh to
mere akin and bone. I could not sleep lying;
down for smothering spells; frequent sharp
darting pains and palpitation caused a con
stant fear of sudden death, nothing could
induce me to remain away from home oyer
night. My local pbyslciaa prescribed Dr.
allies Heart Cure and in a tew 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
have for yean. .

THE DALLES, OR.
To the Silver Lake Victims.
There is now being' m ;de in Eigf n-.
a large marble monument, the desi
of which was copied from a granit
sarcophagus iu the Forest Lawn cem
tery, of Buffalo, New York. Th.
monument is to be erected to the mem
ory of the 43 persons who lost their
lives in the Silver Lake holocaust.
Christmas eve, 1894, The monument
proper consists of a marble base on
which rests the die. On this will be
carved tho name and date of birth of
each victim of the awful disaster. Next
comes the cap, and in an appropriate
place on this will be inscribed:
"Erected by friends to the memory
of those who perished in the tire of
Silver Lake, Oregon, December 24,
1394."
On the face and back of the die will
bo two' finely carved columns. The
whole is surmounted by a plinth and
draped urn. When completed the
monument will rest on two bases of
Lake county stone, and will stand 12i
feet high. The stono will be hauled
across the mountains ovor the Mill
t irv road as soon as possible next
spring. Three -four-horse teams will
be required to perform the task, as the
various parts will weigh over five tons,
and the journey will be long and dim
cult, but will be accomplished much
easier over this route than by shipping
to Ashland or A-'er and hauling from
there over the mountains.
Running Day and Night.
About eyery woolen mill in the state,
says the Oregonian, which is fixod for
making blankets and mackinaws is
running night and day on them and
there is no lack of a market fo all pro
duced. There is also a growing de
mand for corduroys and moleskins,
which must be imported, as none of
the mills in this country make them.
Mileskin is a thick, heavy cotton cloth,
largely used in Great Britain by stone
masons, engineers, and others engaged
in rough or dirty work, it is practically
indestructible bv ordinary wear and
rear, and will be useful in Klondike.
