The annual encampmant of the G.
A. R. that was to have been held in
The Dalles in April has been postponed
to the 17tb, 18th and 19th of May.
This is indeed a good arrangement;
since the weather in May will be more
suitable to the occasion.
The trains last night and this morn
ing carried away the majority of those
who had been attending the convention
here. They went away well pleased
with the meeting and all were free to
state that it was the most successful
convention of the kind ever held.
One day during the recent conven
tion, Gilford, the photographer, got a
picture of about 100 of the delegates
assembled in front of the Commercial
Club building that was a splendid work
of art. Of the entire number every
face shows plainly aud can be easily
re cog sized.
Excavating has been commenced for
B. Wolf's new buildiog on Second
street that is to be occupied by the
Great Northern furniture store. The
building will be 43x62 feet, one story
high. H. B. St. John has the contract
nd expects to have it completed in a
little more than a month.
The O. R. & N. Co. deservas credit
for promoting the recent assemblage
of the woolgrowers in The Dalles, that
has resulted in the organization of an
association that must result beneficially
to all engaged in the sheep industry,
and especial credit is due Mr. Judson
who was the prime mover in the mat
ter. '
The contempt case from Cascade
Locks bus finally terminated by Frank I
Rogers, the defendant, appearing in I
Justice Aldrich's court, apologizing to
the court and paid his fine. Mr. Rog
ers was fined for -contempt of court,
and refusing to pay the fine, vas sen
tenced to tervo a time. in the county
ju.il, but was released by the sheritT,
though the judgment held over Kin,
and he settled it by paying the fine.
One of the most affable gentlemen
who attended the conve-ition here
this week was ' R. Alexander, of Pen
dleton, who is one of the pioneer mer
chants of Eastern Oregon, and has for
many years beau one of the most sue
cessful business men of the state. I n
all probability Mr. Alexander will be
the republican nominee for state treas
urer, and should any nominee on the
republican ticket' be elected, which is'
not likely, it will be the Pendleton
merchant;
The people who hive been with us
for the last few days attending the
Woolaxowers' convention were cur
prised to learn that so much real es
tate was being moved daily in this
city. Tbey were not convinced of the
fact until Old Dad Butts got around
and produced facts and figures. Dad
sold nearly every one a lot and while
it did nearly clean him out he has a
few bargains left. Always room for
one more, and tne early bird catches
the worm. Moral: "See Butts be
fore the last bargain is taken advant
age of by your neighbor, and you kick
yourself for being too sIojv."
For five weeks I lived on cold
water, so to speak," writes a man who
suffered terribly from indigestion.
He could hardly keep anything on
his stomach. What stayed, wa n't
properly digested and gave him ter
rible pangs.
This Is not an uncommoa case.
Dyspeptics don't get enough nourish
ment. They are generally thin and
weak.
They may eat enough, but they
don't digest enough. Much of what
they eat turns into poison. If this
keeps on there's no telling what
disease they may get next. .
That's why it is best to take Shaker
Digestive Cordial-, as soon as sjmp
toras of indigestion appear.
It cures all the evils of indigestion,
and prevents the evils which indiges
tion causes.

Range Grasses and Fodder Plants.
Prof. Leekinby's address on this
subject last evening and the short ad
dress and discussion on the subject
this morning have drawn the attrition
of our sheep farmers to a very import
ant matter. Experiment on a larg
scale by the agricultural college and
others have proved beyond question,
the possibility of r.ilslnu large crops
of grass and fodder plants in
semi-arid districts, provided the proper
selection of grasses N made. One of
these that has proved of great value is
the Russian Brome or Bromus Inermis,
which is now grown in large increas
ing quantities in the neighborhood of
Pullman. Mr. Buell Limbersen the
seedsman, of Portland, who is an in
terested attendant at the cpnventinn
inform oa that he is prepared to sup
plv the demand for these new grasses
and will be pleased to furnish an illus
trated catalog and price list free to all
applicants.

to the Visitors Within
Her Gates.
President Blaareley Convened the Conven
tlon Addresses of Welcome by Mr.
Wllnoa, Mayor Nolan and
Governor Lord.
The first convention of the Pacific
Northwest Woolgrowers' Association
opened under most .auspicious circum
s-taices Tuesdav afternoon, when at 2
o'clock Hon. G. C. Blakeley, president
of the Commercial Club called tht
meeting to order in the Vogt opera
house, where had assembled some 300
delegates aod prominent woolgrowers
from different parts of Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho and Montana. Seated
on tne platform, oesiaes t-resiaem
Blakeley, were Governor Lord, ex
Governor Moody, Judge O. N. Denny,
Dr. Withycombe, Mayor M. p. Nolan,
Rev. Josf ph De Forest and Mr. Fred
W. Wilson.
Rev. Joseph De Forest invoked
divne blessing upon the gathering, the
people of the Northwest and the in
dustry in which those present are n-
gaged, after which the Kinros? Q lartet
Club of Portland rendered a selection,
when Mr. Fred W. Wilson, on behalf
of the Commercial Club, extended a
hearty and cordial welcome to the
visiters. Mr. W uson's address was a
most hearty welcome to the strangers
within the city, and extended to all the
freedom of the Club's home. Mayor
Nolan in a brief and well worded ad
dress, on behalf of the munecipality,
extended greeting to the guests, and
closed by delivering the key of the city
to Dr. Withycombe, as the representa
tive of the delegates, and insisted that
he use it in a way to make all feel that
in The Dalles they are perfectly at
home. I
Prisident Blakeley then introduced
Governor Lord who extended a cordial
welcome t- the delegates to the
st-ile, saving in i-fTect that the im
portance of i wool industry was
recognized in Oi-i in us one of vast
importance, and the people of the
state were ready to j iu hands with
those who resided in neighboring
territory in making it one of the
greatest and most prominent import
ance. Co-operation ol those engaged
in all agricultural pursuits, the
governor baid, was desired, in that it
must result in benefit, and especially
wxs it desirable among those engaged
in wool growing, since they bad so
many interests in common, in the
matter breeding, marketing, etc. In
tel'igent discussion of matters pertain
ing to wool-growing must result in
benefit to the flock waster, and he
most heartily welcomed the delegates
from other States to Oregon, and took
special pride in the . fact that this
state bad oeen selected as the meeting
place of the first convention of the
woolgrowers of the Northwest, . . I
The Kinross Club again rendered a j
selection, after which President Blake- !
ley apnouueed that Hon. T. C. Powers, j
president of the Montana Wool
growers' Association, had been unable
to reach the city today, and introduced
Dr. Withycombe, who on behalf of the
delegates, responded to the a Ureases
of welcome. Dr. With'ycome express
ed the gratitude of all visitors for the
cordial greering given them by The
Dalles, and in his closing remarks
paid a glowing tribute to the city and.
its hospitable people. '
At theclofe of" Dr. Withycombe's
aldress, another selection was render,
ed by the Kinross Club, when the con
vention adjourned to 8 o'clock this
evening. The flection of temporary
officers will take place at 10 o'clock to
morrow. The first evening session of the
Woolgrowers' Convention was well
Attended, the opera house being filled
with a very appreciative audience.
After a selection by the orchestra,
President Biakeiey introduced Hon.
John Mia to. ot Salem, the pioneer
woolgrower of Oregon, who delivered
quite a lengthy -address on forestry
as affecting the sheep industry, or.
rather, the effect sheep ranging in for
ests have upon the growth of timber.
Mr. Minto, in his address, took the
position that sheep are rather bene-1
ficial than detrimental to tree growth;
that their tramping the soil tends to
cause seeda to take root and trees to
grow. Mr. Minto has made a personal
observation of these matters for many
years, and is convinced that the forests
are improved by being used for sheep
ranges, and is nowstrongly opposed to
the government maintaining forest re
serves to the exclusion cf sheep
raisers. He also strongly favors
the ownership by. the state of all
public lands within its territory.
Prof. Leokerby, of Yakima, was the
next speaker, and took up the question
of grasses of the Northwest, and en
tered upon a -brief discussion of the
many varieties common to this sec
tion. He is firm In the belief that a
number of varieties can be made to
grow on the hills where the bunch
grass has been killed out, that will In
time take the 'place of the native
trasses, and prove even better for
feed at all times of the year.
At the 'conclusion of his address a
number of questions were asked r
garding grasses adapted to this coun
try, and much valuable information
was imparted.
WEDNESDAY'S SESSION.
The convention was called to order
by President Blakeley at 10 o'clock,
and the first order being the selection
of temporary officers, Prof. H. T.
French, of the state agricultural col
lege was elected temporary chairman,
and C. W. Dletzell, of The 'Miles,
temporary seoretarv. Ths remainder
of the morning session was devoted to
the discussion of matters brought out
by questions plaoei in the qurgtion
box Grasses formed the principle
theme of discussion, and the morning
hours were very profitably spent. -
At the opening of the afternoon ses
sion, Prof. John A. Craig, of Iowa,
was introduced and took up the dis
cussion of sheen feeding and breeding
His remarks were confined principally
to the different cli.-8-'8 of dheep that
are adapted t9 'eiHng, and the qual
ity of feed most orofital'le to each. In
Iowa It has been found that corn is the
mast profitable feed, it baing cheap
and puts fat u t ie- tteep to prepare it
for market. , A general discussfon fol
lowed Pro'. raig'i address, in which
all took icarked interest.
The monot my of disci ssion was
broken ' irquent lenditiona by
pho quartet.
Immediately after the cloee of
the
afternoon session of the convention
yesterday, the delegates and sheep-
raisers repaired to the club rooms
where they met Capt. Olmsby, forest
commissioner for the interior depait-
ment and a general, discussion of what
the sh'epmen of this section desired
m
with reference to privileges to be ex
tended to them on forest reserves en
sued. A number of plans were sug
gested, prominent among, which wss
to have the reserves districted so that
"oac-b bheepowoer should have certain
ranges set apart for his use, so. that te
and no one eUe could herd upon such
range. This proposition did not meet
ihe approval of the sheepralsers gener
ally, and it was detrimined that all toe
recommendations that should be asked
of Capt. Olmsby would be that sheep
men be allowed to herd their flocks in
discriminately upon the forest reservi s
during the summer months.
EVENING SESSION.
At the evening ses-ion the sheep
was dropped out of notice for a time,
while F. J. Barry, of the Chicago
stock jard. took up the horse. Mr
Barrv has been a horse dealer all hit-
life, and probably knows more about
the equine than any other man in tht
United States. He has bought anu
old more horses than almost an
other man in the nation, and knows-
11 about that noble animal. Mr.
Uarry states that a new era is dawn
ng for the horse breeder.- The dt-
mands for export are greater than
ever before, and he anticipates that
within two years 75,000 horses will i e
required for export. These though
must be good horses, not the ordinary
'plug."k They must be horses of good
size, form and action, norses tnat can
get up and go, and at 'the same time
rjLvr a load behind them. He udvit-es
farmers to beglu now braeding for the
export trade, and exercising earn and
judgment ia the selection of both
sires and dams. Mr. Barry advises
thoroughness in every class of farm-
ug aud especially in the breeding of
horses. He maae many useful sug
gestions to the farmer, which if. fol
lowed will result in good to them.
Next Dr. Withycombe, state veter-
nury, was introduced and entered
into a discussion of tuberculosis as af
fecting not only the human race but
domestic animals. The cow. Dr.
VVitbycouie says, is more susceptible
to tuis disease than any pother, es
pecially whej confined to dairy barns,
aud through ti.e mil Hand other dairy
products can luo uiseuse be readily
iiaii-miLtcu to human beings. He
Luius iuc ji-eane is not hereditary but
couutgiuus, aud may be transmitted
from too luoBumiiVd to the cow, and
from her agaiu to the human being.
He therefore u k that the greatest
cautiou In) e&ei'uiM'd to prevent the
spread of the disease amoug animals
used for dairy purposes. No cure was
suggested, in fact there is none, but
preventatives are many, and should be
supplied. Principal among these, tho
doctor holds, are sunlight and fumiga
tion. The cow stable, he maintains,
should be as clean and well lighted as
the home, and if it is there need be
little fear of tuberculosis among the
milch cows.
THURSDAY S SESSION.
The forenoon session of the conven-
ti n was consumed in.tha adoption
of the constitution and by-laws, which
were read and adopted, section at a
time, and being quite lengthy, con
siderable time was devoted to the dis
cussion of tie different features. The
constitution provi .as for a f resident,
secret iry,' treasurer, - fo ir ice- resi
de ts and an eecutive committee of
four, one from each of the slates of
Oregon, Washington, MoDtana and
Idaho. It further provides that annual
njeetings s all be bell.
After the constitution and by-lavs
bad been adopted the convention ad
journed to 2 o'clock, and on reassembl
ing; proceeded to the, election of of
ficers. Dr. James Withycombe, state
veterinary of Orejron, was elected pres
ident; vice presidents, A. S. MacAl
lister, for Oregon, Johc McMillan for
Idaho, John O. Hussey for Moana
and A. S. LaGrow for Washing .on.
The executive committee elected
consists of W. J. Furnish, of Oregor ;
Matt Webb, of Washington; L. L.
Ormsby, of Idaho, and A. Spencer, of
Montana.
Charles & Lidd, of Portland, was
elected treasurer, and the selection of
secretary and recording secretary was
left to the executive committee,
Pendleton was the unanimous choice
of the convention as the meeting .lace
of the association next year, and the
first Tuesday of March ras selected as
the date of convening.
After the selection of the next meeting-
plice, the executive committee
elected J. W. Bailey secretary
and T. B. Wells recording secretary.
Both are residents of Pendletoa.
W. W. Baker, editor of tbe Farm,
Flock and Factory, was called to the
platform, and delivered an address
touching principally upon the effects
of tariff on the wool indu.try, and also
suggested some recommendations that
the association should make for future
legislation.
EVENING SESSION.
After effecting permanent organiza
tion of tbe North Pacific Woolgrowers
Association, adopting constitution and
by-laws and electing officers, the first
convention of the association adjourned
last night. "
The last evening session was con
sumed In answering queries that were
placed in the question box many of
which were practical and germane to
the sheep business but the majority of
them were of a humorous nature, and
were announced by Chairman French
in a very happy manner, creating an
unusal amount of merriment. The
orchestra and the Kinross Club ren
dered a number of fine selections,
prominent among which was a parody
oo "A Hot Time in tbe Old Town"
that was well received and" called for
numerous encores. '
Tbe convention closed with an illus
trated lecture by Prof. Per not, of the
state agricultural college, that was very
entertaining acd instructive, Numer
ous illustrations were given of tbe col
lege buildings and experimental sta
tion, and work beta ? done at that insti
tution, also diseases common to plant
and animal life.
Tbe three day's session of the asso
ciation has been most beneficial to
woolgrowers, in that they have be
come acquainted an I have discussed
methods of interest to their business,
besides listening to lectures from well
informed men upon subjects that are
of importance. And Tbe Dalles has
also derived a benefit that will be last
ing, since it has shown its facilities
for conducting business on a large
scale, and has so thoroughly impress
ed upon the minds of Its visftors that
It Is composed ot ( rogresslve, enter
prising ' citizens that many of tbe
strangers will look toward this place
whenever they have business that cin
, Le conducted here. .
The convention throughout was

TIME IS TBI OLD TOW.
s Bona; by the Kinross Club at the Wool-
growers' Convention.
HOT
The following parody of this popular
ong as rendered by the Kinross
:lub at the close of the convention of
woolgrowers:
Jome along ye sheep aod mutton men,
ana move yourselves around,
eor there's gwine to be a meeting in
tnis good old rauroad town.
Vnd Judson of the O. K. N.. and herd
ers from the Sound,
Vill be down at the Commercial Club
where good things do abound.
CHOHUS.
(Vhen you hear the music iust bepin.
Baud down low and drive away your sin,
Ana wnen you all get home you'll feel
an it . . ' .1 V. n
In a hot time in the Old Town tonight,
Much discussion's been indulged in
ana consiaeraoie gab
As to what's the best Dreventive of
mat aread disease called scab.
out there s one thin? verv certain
that you've got the ahepn to din.
With tobacco, lime or sulphur,- it mat
ters not a rip.
CHORUS.
Oh ! My friends consider the neor sheen.
How in comfort you tbey always keep,
Aod how thev multiolv. even when
you're all asleen.
Having hot tim?s in the old corral to
night.
Now you jolly herders who are in The
Dalles tonight.
Just listen to this poetrv about an ex
pected nght.
ror Uncle Sam is watching and will
drive out m his might.
The treacherous, greasv Spaniards.
iro n (juoa s snores all right.
CHORUS.
When they go there'll be prosperous
times down there.
Ami we'll get good tobacco and to spare
f na wnen tne ooys in blue march
down Eiivaoa s streets.
There 11 be a hot time in that Old
Town that night.
And now when M. T. Nolan, who is
the mayor. 1 11 be bound.
Is presenting keys of freedom of the
city all around,
'Twould be better for him not to slight
the railroad men in town.
Not even Niles, or Coleman, or Missmi
in gingham gown.
CHORUS.
When he hands the keys to the rail
road boys,
Then he'll rtart up all their slumber
ing joys.
And when the show is o'er, there'll be
notning else in sight,
But a hot time in the Old Town to
night.
The trouble with The Dalles is that at
night there's ghosts around
Who friehten all tbe people with their
gnouiisb looks and sounds.
Last night for instance, there was one
by many people seen,
Who scattered at his advent, and
sought their homes so keen;
CHORUS.
But one black coo a determined to find
out, - .
wnat all tnis horrid mystery was
about.
He soou found out, ttos Wilson was
tbe sight,
Having a good time in the Old Town
tonignt.
Of your etreeta and asphalt sidewalks,
you are very verv proud.
And merit ad miration from your guests
(Uont speak it loud)
But the mayor gives his promise that
by 1904,
The sidewalks will be so improved,
your test will not get sore.
CHORUS.
So give three cheers for Nolan and
The Dalle.
Likewise also all its pretty jala,
And wnen tbe next 'wool Grower s
Convention' is in sight.
You'll have a hot time' in the Old
Town that night. .
Soniw to this convention we have
co ne to say goodbye.
And we trust that we've contributed a
little to your joy".
And wbe l tbe next convention meets,
if we ah n I d meet you there,
We'll ha e some new songs ready with
which to raise your hair.
CHORUS.
If wool w iuld
only bring 50
cents a
pound,
And care isses five dollar all around.
No happi ir people than woolgrowers
could b feund.
They'd h ve hot times in tbe Old Town
each nlbt.
8track by a Cyclone.
There wa a business at Waplnitia
that is no more. It met with some
thing last Sunday it f was not looking
for, .tad has been annihilated. ' For
some time past there has been a
saloon run on the quiet in that little
town, where liquid refreshments
eciM be had, and where men and
youth i could assemble to drink, play
cards and otherwise amuse themselves.
One resident of the town who ham
mers Iron for a livelihood, had a son
whom be desired to bring up in the
lines of rectitude and right, and in
formed the proprietor of the place
that be did not want tbe ycuth to
loiter about the "joint." The request
was not heeded, until last Sunday, but
it will be in th9 future. The black
smith saw his boy enter the plaoe and
followed. He walked in quietly, laid
off bis coat, and proceeded to enforce
prohibition regulations in Wapioitia.
When he had finished tbe proprietor
possessed two eyes d rayed in mourn
ing, beer kegs and whisky - bottles
were empty, every glass in the house
in fragments and the, windows were
only holes in the -walls. Tho place
looked as if a cyclone bad struck it
and the owner looked wors The
saloon business is a thing of tbe past
in that town. , . v
Congrratioual Church Serrlce.
At tbe Congregational church last
evening, Mr. Clapp discoused upon the
parable of the fig tree planted in a
garden but which bore no fruit. He
found in the parable lessons of en
couragement and hope in tbe purpose
of the Master and tbe possibilities ot
man under Divine culture, and also
lsssons of warning for those who, un
der the best condition and influences,
still brought forth no fruit and did not
do tbe things and accomplish the re
sults for which all opportunity and
culture and grace were given. The
song seryice and the after service of
prayer and testimony were especially
enjoyable and profitable. This even
ing Mr. Clapp will adapt tbe sef vice to
tbe needs of the young, no'- without
something good fop 'hose who ere
older. AH are cwrdially inted.
