There is one thing lacking in the
new bridge the O. R. & N. Co. has
built across Mill creek. A splenpid
promonade has been constructed on
either side of the track about half way
across the stream, and there it ter
minates. Had the promenade been
extended across to the west bank, it
would have been very convenient for
the young people of tbe town, as it
would have made an attractive stroll,
and no doubt the young men of the
city would have donated enough to
have extended it across had the com
pany called on them.

While hunting squirrels last week
Jack Swift's boy and Jimmy Johnson
came on the track of a panther, and
procuring a cog followed tbe beast to
his hiding place in a clump of bushes.
The boys were armed with only a shot
gua loaded with No. 6 shot, but Swift
fired on him at elose range and suc
ceeded in putting out an eye the first
shot. This so enranged tbe animal
that it made for the boys, but by tbe
assistance of the dog and gun they
kept out of his clutches. They fired
six loads of shot into his carcass before
bringing him to the ground, and in
the melee the dog was almost skinned.
The panther weighed 139 pounds, and
measured eight feet in length.

A Good Suggestion.
Ed. Tlms-Mountaihbbh:
My attention being called to the
plan of action for a union of parties
against the gold standard, let me make
a suggestion through your columns.
To follow the plan as discussed
throughout the state, i. e., "to have
populist, silver republican and demo
cratic conventions on the same day;
have a committee of three elected from
each convention to meet and apportion
the offices fairly between the three
parties and report such apportionment
to their respective conventions."
Then each convention to- declare
nominations for their portion of the
ticket in order and place all candidates
in nomination, but not vote for them,
then the three conventions unite and
by ballot of the entire body select from
those nominated. The ticket resulting
would then be one backed by the three
parties. Each nomination would be a
whole number and not a third of a
nomination.
Each convention to choose its own
set of state delegates and the delega
tions from Sherman and Wasco to
meet at Portland and name the legis
lative ticket. As in this suggested
plan no man could be nominated out
side of the party entitled to the places,
a strong ticket would surely result
and it would be one wherein all parties
are directly interested. Yours for
union. M. J. Anderson,

The Hew Lutheran Church.
The Lutheran Church is now com
plete and the architect, Mr. A. Ander
sen, has instructed the huildiner com
mittee to accept the building, and
taken all farther responsibility for the
same, under the condition atbat the
building committee will employ me
chanics to correct some mistakes made
by the contractors and will pat the
building in a condition so it will be
fully in keeolug with the plans and
specifications. The building commit
tee has accepted the building aad has
paid the full price of the contract and
also a liberal price for all extra work
to the contractors, and now the com
mittee will have the errors corrected,
and then the new Lutheran Church
will be as strong aad substantial as it
is neat and attractive. D. W. Pierce
Sz Son, of Goldendale, Washington,
have received the contract for placing
the furniture, and they have already
delivered thAltrV- pulpit, reading
desk and hymn books. This part of
the furniture is really beautiful, and
the pews will, no doubt, be of the same
quality.. The Lutheran Church will
probably be ready for dedication in 6
or 8 weeks. By order of the church

Several days ago some of the sharl-
table societies of the city were inform
ed that there were two unfortunate
women on the hill living together who
were in destitute circumstances. The
women and their cnildren were
promptly supplied with tho necessities
of life, and one of them being sick the
delicacies required for her to eat were
supplied. ' A few evenings later the
husband of the sick woman, apiece of
humanity by the name of Brown came
home (be had been at Hood River) and
proceeded to create a famine in the cup
board, by devouring everything nice
that he could find. Next morning the
Elk's charity committee was notified
of his conduct, and they informed him
that his presence would not be needed
about tbe premises. Brown has made
himself scarce since, and will probably
not be of any more annoyance. If he
is the authorities will take him In
charge. .
Marriage and Divorce In Walls Walla.
For every four marriages in Walla I
Walla county during the year 1897,'
there was one application for divorce.
This somewhat remarkable fact was
discovered, says the Walla Walla
Union, after a careful search of the
records of the county clerk's office.
There Were 149 marriages recorded
during the year and 38 applications for
dissolution of the marriage tie. Of
this number of divorce cades, only one
was dismissed without the decree
prayed for being granted, and eight
are still pending, some of which were
instituted during the last few days
of the. year and the time for default or
answer has not yet expired. In- two
cases which have been pending sev
eral. months, lack of money with which
to pay the fees required has prevented
the issuance of the final decrees, and
in one case death intervened and dis
solved the bonds before the slowly
moving machinery of the law could
reach a verdict.
Out of the 38 cases, 32 were corn
men' ed by wives, the grounds upon
which tho complaint was based being
in three-fourths of the cases abandon
ment and non-support.

their hart, to make arrangements -for
the encampment which is to be held

with "something to drink." The
tables were spread and laden with
good things, an'l tbe way beans and
coffee disappeared, proved that the
supper was the right thing iu the
right place.
Ihe meeting was again called to
order, and Adjutant-General Morse
called for the good old national air
"America," and with Mrs. J. M
Patterson at the piano, the building
fairly trembled with the enthu9iasu
from the voices that entered so heartily
in tbe singing of this soul inspiring
song. -This was followed by Adjutant-

the work, membership, etc., of the G,
A. R., and concluded by paying many
compliments to The Dalles and the
hospitable people he bad met here.

A Goed Fnce for Beef. '
Saturday evening 138 beef cattle be
longing toDr.V. Gesner, of Prineville,
arrived at the stockyards here in
charge of Minor Lewis. It required
14 days to bring the cattle from Prine
ville, and they arrived here in fine
condition. ' They bad been fed all win
ter on Mr. Lewis' farm near Prineville,
hence were all prime beef, and were
readily sold to Charles Butler, of Port
Townsend, at 4 cents a pound on foot.
This is the best sale yet reported here
this winter, but it will likely be the
ruling price from now until range beef
is ready for market.

ATT Eir TED JAIL DBXIVEBT.
A Well Laid Plan Nipped In the Bud by
Deputies Kelly and Fitzgerald.
On Tuesday Deputy Sheriff Ke'.ly
was busily engaged at his desk In the
sheriff's office, hardly having time to
devote any attention to tbe jail,
Sheriff Driver being away, hence all
the duties of the office devolved upon
Mr. Kelly, when he observed one of
the prisoners was unusnally jovial,
marching up and down the aisle of
tbe jail corodor, singing loudly. At
first the sieging rather annoyed Mr.
Kelly, and as he worked on the books,
began to surmise something was going
on inside the jail, as none of the other
three prisoners were in sight or ap
peared to be making any noise. Con
sequently he called Jailor Fitzgerald
and requested him to go inside the jail
and see what was going cn. When
Mr. Fitzgerald entered the jail tho
four prisoners gathered around him
and insisted upon entertaining biro by
showing specimens of drawing; but
Mr.- Fitzgerald is too well experienced
in handling prisoners to heed their
sociability, and began making an in
spection of the interior of the coridor.
He soon discovered that a brick had
been removed from the wall next to
the lavatory, and that it was concealed
by placing the dining table near
the wall so as to cover tho bole
from which it was taken. The prison
ers were ordered into the cells where
they aro confined of nights, and it will
be soma time before they are given
the customary freedom of the jail dur
ing tbe day time.
The ja.il is so constructed that it
would have been impossible for the
prisoners to have worked their way
out unless tbey were supplied with
good tools, as through the center of
each wall is a plute of chilled steel,
j that would resist ordinary foree, and
both inside and out there is a tier of
brick resting against the plasc. But
had not tbe vigilance of Mr. Kelly dis
covered their scheme, the prisoners
would Eoon have done considerable
damage to the jail, for when one brick
was removed others would have been
easily taken down Messrs. Kelly and
Fitzgerald certainly deserve credit in
checking the would-be jail breakers
before more damage was done.
Wasco county has indeed been for
tunate in the past with regard to
securely keeping its prisoners, since
none have escaped since the new j.iil
was built, and since Mr. Fitzgerald
has held the position of jailor, and his
careful guarding of the premises both
day and night has prevented prisoners
from attcDptinj to damage the build
ing. During the day he is constantly
within call of the court house and at
night he sleeps in a room adjoining
the jail, consequently prisoners can do
but little devilment without being de
tected. Were it not for his constant
vigilance it is likely the county would
frequently be called upon to repair
damages done tne jail by prisoners.
Mrs. Marv Bird, Harrisburg, Pa,
says: "My child Is worth millions to
me; yet 1 would have lost her by croup
had I not invested twenty-five cents
in a bottle of One Minute dough
Cure." It cures coughs, colds and all
throat and lung troubles. Snipes

O REGION FOXIEST KESERVE.
Hon. John Jllnto Declares Part of the He-
serve Mnould be Opened to Settle
ment. Hon. John Minto.of Marlon county,
delivered the third lecture in the agri
cultural college course Wednesday
evening. His subject wa9 "Forest Re
serves" He apologized for tbe fact 'that his
address was controversial in character,
offering in palliation the fact that
rights of the people are trodden under
foot by the ill advised establishment
of the reserves. He said he thought
that if forest reserves vere to be set
apart at all it should be done by state
governments, because tb.3 latter are
more familiar with the surroundings
and needs of communities contiguous
to the reserves.
"There are now in Oregon," he said,
"16,000,000 acres of timber, of which
6,000,000 aro handy to settlements,
available for use as firewood and build
ing purposes, while 10,000,000 are in
the mountains. Tbe estimated an
nual growth, board measure, is 2,000,-
000,000 feet and the annual consump
tion 540,000,000. At $8 per 1,000 feet
tbe annual decay is worth $17,000,000.
This sum ought not to bo locked up in
a forest reserve, keeping enterprise
from opening up and utilizing these
forests. The value of the timber
locked up in the reserves is equivalent
to 50 consecutive wheat crops in
Oregon."
The forestry committee, by whose
influence the reserves were set apart.
proposed, he said to educate a body of
trained foresters to guard the reserves
against the encroachments of settlers.
keeping, meanwhile, government
troops on duty as guards. He likened
he proposition to the situation in
oermany, wnere o.uow foresters are
maintained to guard German timber
lands, and he asserted an.un willingness
to help maintain this additional army of
government employes. He combatted
the ide of those who favor the forest
reserves, that timber in the mountain?
preserved tbe water courses.
