has been for years. Charles Barzee,

crops when the ground is wet to the
depth of three feet.
From present appearances there is
little likelyhood of extreme hih water
in the Columbia river this season. The
rise has begun early, which indicates
that the snow on the low hills is melt

June. At noon today the river here

hours. - '

Uffc'8 Journey Clotted.
At 2:10 of Thursday, February 17,
Edith Schmidt closed her eyes to the
scene j of this world and passe 1 to that
one beyond. Death came like the
fading of day, the transition from
twilight to night, pea-ef jI, calm and
apparently without rese tmen ; it was
as if the white-winged angels of heaven
had ciosed their arms arojodapure
and loving soul and bore it oj to the
better life of the f jiure.
Edith was the sccend daughter of
Mr. and vrs. Charles L. Schmidt, and
was born in The Dalles, December 20.
1875. She was a bright, lovable girl,
a favorite with all her associates.
About three years ago it became evi
dent that he" lungs were affected, and
her parents sent her to Pheonix, Ari
zona, with the hope that the mild
climate of Arizona would prove bene
ficial, but the germs of consumption
were deeply rooted, and permanent
cure was impossible. She returned
home about two years ago, and since
that time she has awaited the final
termination. Both her parents one
sister and three btothers survive her.
The funeral will take place from the
family residence at 2 o'clock Sunday
afternoon.
Illght, Still Wrong.
Pacific Northwestern Woolgrowere
association hold their first annual con
vention at The Dalles, March I, 2, 3.
They will eat mutton, talk wool and
drink champaign, as The Dalles Com
mercial Club is reputed to never do the
hospitality act in an inhospitable man
ner. But they left off a great Oregon
wool and sheep man Hon. John
Minto.
A wool convention with "Uncle"
John Minto left out is like the play of
Hamlet with Hailet left ouc. Salem
Journal.
The Journal is certainly right in
concluding that a meeting of wool
growers in Oregon would be a failure
without the presence of "Uncle" John
Minto, for he knows more about sheep
and wool than any other man in the
state. The promoters of the Wool
growers Association fully realize this
fact, and expect Mr. Minto to be pres
ent on March 1, 2 and 3, to take part
in the deliberations of the convention.
Good for Sore Eye.
Last Tuesday Messrs. John, George
and Fred Chambers, of Canyon City,
were here, returning from Portland,
and had some specimens of the yellow
metal that were convincing to ail that
the gold miner need not look to Alaska
for a Seld in which to operate. They
bad specimens of ore from the Guker
mine nearCauyon City that were worth
$52,000 a ton. The ore was a solid
mass of wire gold, and was a specimen
that would make anyone who saw it
wish to be the owner of the ledge.
Besides they had a number of nuggets
from Mr. Guker's mine in which they
are interested, filjt&y say Guker is
mrking from $100 to $150 a day pan
ning out the decomposed quartz with
snow wpter, and if the mine holds out
he. will make a million before the
season ends.

Miss Harriet Harden, of this city,

date of Feb. 9, concerning the first
teacher in The Dalles:
"In your souvenir of Jan. 1, 1898, on

taught school in your town. His name
was Sergeant Peter Fain, of Company

DINGLEY'8 BAT.
Soikle" Jerry Canned Considerable Fun
by Referring to It.
A few davs since Congressman Jerry
Simpson, he who acquired fame for
refusing to wear woolen socks until
the duty on them was removed, caused
considerable fun in the house by his
reference to Mr. Dtngley's "London'
hat.
Takinsr tho floor ostensibly to
amend the fortification bill, the Kac
sa-t populist moved to "strike out the
last two words" in a certain section
and then proceeded as follows:
"I have heard many regrets ex
pressed here today, and have to offer
some on iny own account. I regret
the lack of harmony on the republican
side upon this measure. I desire,
more especially, however, to call the
attention of the house to the remark
able properties of the hat worn by the
author of the great economic measure
known as the Dingley tariff. For a
long time this hat has been a mystery
to all observers. During th extra
session if its owner laid it on the desk,
wo all knew we were to take a recess
for three days. If the hat retired to
the cloakroom we knew we would be
oermitted to remain in session.
During this session I have watched
with equal interest the ca-eer of that
hat. It has bvea, to me. an judication
of whether or not there would be
harmonv in the republican ranks. Wa
have all noted that when any question
requiring unity of tne party arose,
republicans always have rallied around
the distinguished gentleman from
Maine; but If ho went out he left his
hat, and so, in the absence of the
honorable gentleman, the hat was
rallied around, in order to uphold
republican supremacy.
"I have been wondering what potent
magic power was in tne nat mar, ir,
had the same authority as Its owner.
In passing It today it occurred to me
that the time had come to solve the
mystery. 1 gazed into it and saw
therein the magic word 'London. .1
thought, can it be possible that the
distinguishedchairman of the ways and
means, who was the father of the bill
to promote American Industry, Is act
ually wearing a hat of foreign manu
facture? Can that be tho hat we put
on the free list in the Wilson bill and
that republic-ns -ut under a small
duty of 10 per cen', and is the great
protectionist dep iving American la
bor of that sm-ill p'-o'oction? Can it
be possible that h- brought this bat in
with th- wool b-- hai been charged
with having iin"mrtd while the tariff
biil was pending? I cannot believe It.
"Another thing occuivd tome when
I saw the word, Londi;n.' Perhaps
the cistinsuised owner of the hat
thought it rightand ions'1-tent to get
his hats from the same source that he
gets his financial policies from Lom
bard and T-hreadneedle streets. Now,
the hat is before us today, and I hope
my republican brethren will again
rally around It in protection of Amer
ican industries."
BLOWN INTO ATOMS.
The Battle-Ship Maine Destroyed In the
Havana Harbor.
(Special Dispatch.)
Havana, Feb. 16. The U. S. battle
ship Maine was blown to atoms In the
harbor here about 10 o'clock last nigbt
and it is now believed at least 300 sail
ors lost their lives. All of the officers
are known to be saved except Jenkins
and Merritt, who are missing. So far
as can now be learned the explosion
took place in the ma.azine used for
storing gun cotton for torpedaes. The
explosion shook the city from one end
to the other and all electric lights
were put out. Fire engines rushed
about in every direction and no one
seemed to know from which direction
the explosion came.
C-ptain Sigsbee was on deck when
the explosion came. It was in the bow
j of the vessel.
.There were 354 officers and men on
board and as neir as can be learned
less than one hundred were saved, and
many of them badly injured. The
wounded and dead were, taken to
hospitals and on board the Spanish
man of war Alphonse Ill, which was
in harbor.
Captain-General Blanco of Cuba
cabled authorities at Madrid saying
the disaster to the Maine was due to
accident.
Washington, Feb.16. Two members
of the cabinet who spent some time
with President McKinley today state
everything so far received indicates
that the loss of the Maine is due to
accident.
Captain Sigsbee in a dispatch to
Secretary of Navy Long states he is
not prepared to express an opinion on
this point.
There was intense excitement
aro ind tho navy department early this
morning, and those who bad friends
on board the Maine were eager iw
the latest bulletlu. The department

A Kew Heating System.
J. P. Benton,' of the firm of Maier &
Benton, appears to have upset phil
osophy, at least that part pertaining
to hot water beating. The theory of
philosophy applied to heating with
water is that heated water rises, but
will not fall, hence -11 heating appar
atus must be placed in the basement
in order to make a complete heater.
Mr. Benton has demonstrated this
to be a mistake. In the work room of
Maier & . Benton's store ho has
arranged a heating system that is a
success, and he forces the hot water
down about three feet into a radiator.
He uses an International Domestic
heater on an ordinary stove, and
attached to it is a feed pipe with about
six feet pressure. The radiator is in
an adjoining room, and a circuit is
made with pips, through which the
hot water is forced down three feet
into the radiator, 'and establishes a
complete system of heating. The
apparatus is an invention of Mr.
Benton's, and is esDecially adapted to
heating dwellings.

but seven members" on April 1st,
last

the Women of Woodcraft is one of the
few beneficiary orders that will be in

is a deep tbiokor and his judgment is
worth a great deal on fraternal benefit

LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA.
Sunshine, Ripe Fruit and Wild Flowers the
Order In That State.
Alder Glen Springs, Feb. 13
Ed. Times-Moustaiseeb:
According to promise I will attempt
a brief outline of a few features of th
country that are of interest to we Oi e
gonians, especially so at this season n
the year. I shall not attempt, how
ever, a pen picture as highly colored
and as artistically drawn as would the
dashing (San Joaquin) Miller, or the
notable Artemus Ward, but rathwr as
I see it.
We stopped off a day in Colu?a
county, also a day in 1 olo, and part of
a day and night in Santa Rosa. In
Colusa wo saw a few of California's
big farms and a curse to the country
they are. To illustrate, near the little
town of Maxwtll a Mr. Campbell is
farming 10,000 acres to wheat, whieh
requires from forty to fifty teams, all
mules, of six to ten animals to each
team, and he, like most all the farm
ers here, is a renter, the land being
owned by San Francisco capitalists.
This is a sample of tbe many hundred
large farms in the vailejs of Sacra
mento and San Joaquin, and generally
each of these farms are supplied with
their own huge warehouse on a rail
road, where their immense crops are
hauled for shipment.
tlere, also, is the winter home of in
numerable wild geese. So great are
the numbers of these grain destroyers
that their number is estimated by the
re instead of hundreds or thousands'
as we do in Oregon, and they are herd
ed off the young grain by men and
boys hired for that special purpose.
lhe turkey Industry, on what is
called the goose plains or waste land,
is almost incredible, and would sound
fishy were I to state the number of
tons that are ordinarially shipped by
the average raiser of these birds.
Doubtless no state in the Union
maintains finer avenues and roads than
this. Lined on cither side with the
tately gum trees, Cyprus, pepper and
pairas of various kinds, also the Arab
ian rubber, together with many ever
greens, forms a picture of beauty, as
well a a feature of comfort. These
beautiful drives reach from town to
town, and are sprinkled as regularly as
are tbe streets in the cities, and livery
men inform us that their teams are
driven abeut ten miles an hour on
these roads.
When we ran into Yolo county our
attention was attracted to the fine or
chards and vineyards, the like of which
we had never seen, and the further vt
traveled tho more extensive these
great industries, and from Santa Rosa
to Cloverdale, 35 miles, it is one con
tinuous vineyard, with a dozen or more
wineries. One of these vineyards,
belonging to a colony who own six
miles square of land, bought 8000 tons
of grapes last season.
While passing through thesedensely
populated fruit belts, our observations
and inquiries are frequently interrupt
ed by the call for a change of cars at
the next staticn.
Strange as it may seem, this country
cannot produce a fine quality of apples
or potatoes, and hence the Oregon
product is in brisk demand, but men
tion of the invincable Oregon beauty
(girl) in connection with Oregon's big
red apples, never beard here.
Possibly the Oregon belle's are not
swift enough for Californians.
It seems almost out of placo for the
wild flowers to bo in lull bloom the
middle of February, but when we gaze
on the orioga orchards, loaded wit'i
ripe, lucious fruit, fresh vegetables ia
the market and men on the steeta in
their shirt sleeves, womeu resting in
their hammocks in the shade, we begin
to realize wo are in . the land of sun
shine. F. S. B.
T1IK ISUWLERS HOWLED.
And The Dalles Team Defeated their Port
Land Visitors.
On tha Commercial and Athletic
Clib a.Ie.vs i- The Dalles last night,
one of the finest bowling contests ever
witnessed in the Northwest was rolled.
The contest was between a picked team
from th Commercial and Athletic
Club of ill's city and five crack bowlers
from thi Oregon Road Club of Port
land. Tho game began shortly after
8 o'clock and was completed before 10.
The visiting team consisted of Richard
H. Pickering, Capt. H. B. Graham, F.
W. Bailie, J. Oliver and Thomas Mill
burn, and the home team was composed
of Jud.e W. L. Bradshaw, A. J. Tol
mie, F. L. Houghton, Carey Ballard
and J. M. Filloon. It bad besn in
tended that the teams should consist
of Fix on a side, but owing to ono of
the Road Cluo's blayers being unable
to attend it was. rolled with five on
each side. The scores for the dif
ferent games were as follows:
Road Club D. C. & A. C.
J.iO lt gamo 138
184 2d game 249
212 3d game 23ti
175 4th game 181
In tbe second game the home players
broke the North Pacl-C coast record
witn 249 pins, lacking only one of an
average of 50 for each articlpant, and
having defeated their opponents by 74
pins on the total score they may well
be considered the champions of the
Northwest.
, Grand Jury Report. February Term.
We the grand jury hereby submit
the following as and for our final
report:
We have returned into court six
true bills and four not true bills of in
dictment in the four days we have
been iu session. Wo have also ex
amined the clerk's, sheriff's, assessor's
and treasurer's offices, and we find the
said offices with the books, records
and papers therein well and correctly
kept so far as we are able to judge in
the limited opportunity allowed us for
such examination.
We have also examined the
county jail, and while we believe tbe
same is in as good condition as it can
be kept under the present condition?,
it is not properly constructed and not
capable of propor ventilation. We
recommend that a modern jail be built
by tho CDunty, separate from the inrt
housa.
We have po'. r'5trd t en-mty poor
farm, but hiv hud f i'I and complete
statement of M r.iunty poor at said
farm from nn R ibert Mays, county
judg, and are satisfied that the county
poor are well and properly cared for.
Therefore, having finished our
labors, we respectfully ask tbe court
to accept this our final report, and
that we may be dismissed.
