If the old theory about the ground
hog seeing his shadow on February 2,
and then going back into his hole for
a month is true, he will be delegated

30 days, for if he was out yesterday he
certainly saw his shadow.
John C. Wood started this morning
to Skagway, going to Portland on the
steamer Dalles City. He took with

Astoria has been selected as the
piece of holding the next republican
state convention and the convention
for the second congressional district.
Dalles republicans made an effort to
get the convention here,' but Astoria
proved to be the more popular place.
The delegates from The Dalles who
attended the republican league con
vention at Portland have returned
home, and appear to be well pleased
with the rasult of the meeting. They
seem to think harmony prevails in
their party outside of Multnomah
county.
It has been some time since an in
crease in wages has been announced
by a mining or manufacturing con
cern, hence it is refreshing to note
that tho Cornigle-Oliver Mining Co.

make an advance of 10 per ceht in the
wagts of its miners.

chasing sheep. Last year Knollin&
Co. bought 90,000 bead of sheep in
Eastern Oregon and Washington, and
had them driven to Kansas City.
It instated on pretty good authority
that Moro will soon have another
paper. If there is any town in Oregon
the size of Moro that can support two

This season so far has been un
favorable for putting up ice in The
Dalles; in fact there has been very
little ice frozen this year. Realizing
this, The Dalles Commission and
Grocery Co. is preparing to keep the
city cool next summer and is import
ing a large amount of ice from North
Powder.
The Times-Mountaineer accuses us
of purloining two of The Dalles' best

rats! Certainly Wasco don't claim
The Dalles as one of its suburbs.
J. F. Mahon has one mule that is es
pecially adapted for the Klondike. It
is a fine young-mule and as its mother
died while it was young it was raised at
the house. In some manner it culti
vated an appetite for raw meat and will
eat such food as readily as a dog. This
sounds "fishy," but we have Jim's word
for it and no one would doubt that.

Republican League Club Convention Not
Afflicted With a BJaa-llk. Climate.
The largest and warmest political
meeting ever held in Oregon was that
which assembled in the Armory hall
at Portland Tuesday. Over 1200
delegates from the different republi
can clubs in the state were present,
and made rather an unwieldy body, for
there was by no means a uninimity of
purpose. The Mitchell and anti-
Mitchell wings of the party were there
and they were there to create harmony
on tho terms which each proposed to
dictate.
The convention was called together
at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, and
evething went swimmingly until Pres
ident Carey announced the committee
on credentials. No greater commo
tion could have been created if he had
applied the match to a powder house.
Henry McGinn was at once on bis
feet, and without waiting to be recog
nized by the chairman denounced the
committeemen as being blackleg and
scoundrels. This was a signal for the
Mitchell men to defend -themselves,
and complimentary remarks were ex
changed that did not have a tendency
to lower the temperature. What
might have resulted had not some one
moved to adjourn until afternoon will
never be known, but no doubt the
motion saved many unpleasant things
being said.
When the convention re-assembled
the hotheads had cooled down some
what, and but little difficulty was ex
perienced in adoptingthe reoortof the
committee on credentials, the dele
gates generally being seated. During
the recess some sort of a compromise
was patched up between the opposing
elements, and Hon. Claud Gatch, re
presenting the anti-Mitchell side, was
elected president and C. W. Fullon, a
Mitchell lieutenant, vice-president.
This created harmony for the time,
but it is that sort of harmony that will
not long exist.
lynching in the strongest terms
Sheriff Sims is said to ' have remarked
that he "endorsed the judge's senti'
ments. There the matter rests. Is it
supposed that the judge's tongue-lash
ing and tho sheriff's approval is Buf
ficient punishment for the perpetrators
of the crime? Is it believed that the
cowardly assassius are awed,- into
terrified respect for the law by the
thunders frem the bench and the flash
from the sheriff's eye? If so, just let
the matter rest until another accused
crimioal is taken within their custody,
and than witness how promptly the
bloodthirsty gang will take advantage
of the present acquiescence.
An exchange recently remarked tha
the attitude of the Whitman county
authorities was a standing invitation
to crime. This was thought, at the
time, to be somewhat severe, but as
time goes on and the lynching incident
appears to have been forever, closed,
the entire Northwest will soon agree
that the rebuke- was fully merited.

During the month of January there
were 31 applications for enlistment in
the United States army, at the
recruiting office in Portland. Of this
number, Lieutenant James Mitchell,
Fourteenth United States infantry,
the recruiting officer, rejected 21, and
accepted 10. Those rejected fell below
the mental, physical and moral stand
ard required of recruits, as established
by the war department and rigidly en
forced by the recruiting officers
throughout the country.
In a coastinjr accident in Spokane
Monday evening, Albert Miles, a letter-carrier,

Yesterday the jury in the case of the
United States vs. Seufert Bros., tried
before Judge Bellinger, rendered a
verdict for $9,000 in favor of the de
fendants. This is the third trial in
the case, and the verdict' rendered by
the jury is less satisfactory to the de
fends than either of the former two.
The first award was $25,000 damages
and the second $3o,000, this verdict
having been set aside bv Judge Bellin

new trial, and in case it is denied
they will take an appeal to the United

The question of how to meet tho de

Unique Method of Capturing Balmoa TJaod
by the a Inns.
The savages of Saghalln Island have
a unique method of fishing for salmon
trout with their dogs, a description of
which is given in "Trans-Siberian Sav
ages." The water around the Island
is wonderfully clear. The author, who
went out in a canoe, says the bottom
was distinctly visible, while from
under the canoe the frightened salmon
trout were swimming seaward in such
numbers it seemed as if it would be
difficult to drop a stone into the water
without striking one.
From the time we started I 'was
puzzled to guess what the A inns could
be taking thirty dogs with them for.
I was soon to find out. At a certain
point all the men and dogs came to a
halt. Half the men and dogs then
moved farther along the water's edge
about two hundred yards.
At a concerted signal the dogs were
started from their respective points
and swam straight out seaward in
single file in two columns. At a wild,
sharp cry from all the Ainns the right
column wheeled left and the left col
umn wheeled right until the head of
each column met. --, Then at another
signal all of them swam in line toward
the shore, advancing more and more in
crescentic formation.
As the dogs neared the shore in
creasing numbers of fish appeared in
the shallow water, frightened forward
by the splashing of the advancing col
umn of dogs, which, as soon as their
feet touched bottom, pounced upon
the fishes as quick as a flash.
The animals promptly brought the
fish which they had seized to their
masters, who cut off their heads and
gave each dog the head which be
longed to him as his share of the catch.
The dog who caught nothing got nothing.
I believe this dog drill of the Ainus
is entirely unique. It is all the more
remarkable, too, as the dogs, many of
which have been captured from the
forest, are still half wild.

One of the most interesting works
of today is "The War in Cuba" by
Senor Gonzalo de Quesada. It gives
not only a complete history of the
present war and the ten-years struggle
for independence, but a complete re
view of the island from its first settle
ment to the present, and also a state
ment of the products, resources and
people of that most interesting and
productive country. The work is sold
by M. D. L. French in The Dalles,

Don't Be Haety.
To pun a newspaper without occa
sionally publishing an item that, is in
exact or giving offense, remark j an
exchange, is like runaing'a railroad
without having accidents or smabups.
It can't be done. No man on earth is
so much imposed upon as the editor of
a newspaper. Pushed with work con
tinually, he must rely on second and
third parties for information as to the
events that transpire. Frequently
statements are received from reliable
people, but which are subsequently
discovered to be without foundation.
If therefore, kind reader, you find
yourself aggrieved by some statement
In your home paper, keep the fact in
your mind. Do not fly off the handle,
but go to tbe editor and ask for a cor
rection, and .take our word for it, nine
cases out of ten, if your ease is a just
one you will be received politely and
tbe correction made with pleasure.

It is suggested that one of the build

palace provide for treasure ' rooms in
which it is proposed to show the price
less relics and rare jewels accumulated
by the order during the centuries of
its existence. This section is to be

murderous mob at Colfax left the body
of Chad wick Marshall dangling at tho

It is of record that Judge McDonald
assembled the officers ef his august
court and the members of the Whit
man, county bar and denounced the
Peoples Party Central Committee.
There will be a meeting of the
