ped upon the stage and announced to
the vast audience the object of the

necessary was the election of a chair
man, and suggested ex-Gov. Moody,
who was elected unanimously. On
Mr. Moodv's taking the chair he stat
ed that nominationsfor vice-presidents
would be in order. N. J. Sinnott then
nominated the following gentlemen

tilities of Spain. Messrs. N. J. Sin
nott, W. H. Wilson, B. S. Huntington,
M. P. Isenberg, Fred W. Wilson, Jno,
Michell. and Capt. Lewis. Then came
one of the prettiest parts of the pro
gram, namely, that of presenting the
flag. Capt. J. S. Booth followed by
Mrs. L. E. Crowe, bearing the beauti
ful silk flag of the Elks, then came
uoon the stage. In presenting the
flag to Capt. Booth Mrs. Crowe said:
I have been selected by the mem
bers of Cascado Ledge, No. 303, of the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks to present Company G. this beau
tiful flag as a token of their esteem,
and appreciation of the manner in
which they have responded to the call
of our country in its hour of need,
This flag, as well as being the flag of
our country, is an emblem of their
order, and one which they dearly
prize, and in presenting it to you they
do so with the hose and belief that
wherever you may be called upon to
follow, It will lead you to victory."
Capt. Booth responded in a neat lit
tle speech, thanking the Elks and say
ing that no matter where they were
called, they would willingly go, and
that with this beautiful flag of our
country at their head, they would fol
low and defend it with their lives.
The chorus then sang "Auld Lang
Syne," the song dear to the hearts of
all Elks. After three hearty cheers
for Cascade Lodge, No. dOd,
the im-
mense audience dispersed
HAVE STRUCK IT RICH.
H. Ci-adlebangh and L. L. BUI Have a
Bonanza In the Golden Eagle.
L. L. Hill has been in the city sev
eral days exhibiting some specimens
of quartz taken from the mine that he
and Mr. Cradlebaugh are operating in
the Greenhorn district in Baker
county. The specimens are free gold
ore, and show streaks of gold all
through them without the use of a
glass. It was taken from an 18 inch
vein at a depth of 200 feet below the
surface, and Mr. Hill says there are
tons of the eame quality of ore in sight.
If there is, the mine bids fair to become
one of the greatest wealth producers
in the Northwest,; for the rock should
mill from $500 to $1,000 a ton. Mr.
Hill also brought with him several
hundred dollars in bulllion, the result
of a few days' run with a three stamp
mill, and has sent it to the mint at
San Francisco. The Baker City Demo
crat says of the ore shown by Mr. Hill
in Baker City that it is some of the
richest specimens that have come to
.that place for many years, and ex
presses the belief that the mine is on
of the richest anywhere in the country.
Mr. Arbackle Explain.
Ed. Timeb-Mountaineeb:
As R. H. Weber, of The Dalles, has
seen fit to make a personal fight on me
in this campaign, and is grossly mis
representing me ' about- a business
transaction between he and I, while I
was acting as his agent about two
years ago, selling irult trees, tie .is
representing that I acted dishonestly
with him, and that I would not settle
or have an accounting with him,
which Is not true. Now in justice to
myself I wish you would publish the
following receipt of settlement signed
by him some five months after, as fol
lows, to-wit:
"The Dalles, Or., Jan. 21, 1897.
'Received from W. H. Arbuckle,
$35 in full payment and. satisfaction of
all accounts, demands or choses in ac
tion of whatever kind or nature now
existing between W. H. Arbuckle and
R. H. Weber to date, and I hereby ac
knowledge full and complete satisfac
tion from W. H. Arbuckle of all
orders for fruit trees taken by him
while acting as agent for me, both
orders delivered and to be de
livered, and I further agree that no
other or future charge of any kind or
nature shall be made against the said
W. H. Arbuckle by me or. any one in
my behalf on account of said agency
or orders, or on account of any of said
business. R. H,'Webeb."
This settlement was made and this
receipt given about five months after
1 ceased working for Mr. Weber and
after he had had ample time to investi
gate my agency fully, and if anything
was wrong to have found it out. Now
who is wrong in this matter?
W. H. ARBUCKLE.
WAR TAX OIT RAILROAD.
The Hatter Being Very Berloosly Dlscass-
ed at Portland'
Local railroad circles are discussing,
with much spirit, a tax which it is un
derstood the government will soon
levy upon railroads. It is said the tax
will amount to five cents for each
ticket sold. J ust how the talk started
that railroads are to be taxed is not
known. It is discussed with as much
seriousness, however, as if congress
bad actually passed such a measure.
Some are of the opinion that the
maximum rate law effective in some
states will prevent aiding anything to
the present prices oi tickets, and
others say that the increase will not
bean increase in the price of tickets,
but will be the tax and that the gov
ernment and the passengers can settle
between them, and as far as state laws
on the subject of maximum rates are
concerned, government laws will take
precedence over any enactment: by
state legislatures. !
Another Question ia ' whether the
tax will be made to coverall fares paid
for transportation or simply tickets
sold. If the latter construction is to
rule, the roads say that they will soil
! iirat.a nvar tha counter, and
that nine out of ten passengers will
Dav their fare on trains in order to
avoid the tax which would be imposed
upon them if tkey bought their tickets
outright at the regular offices. Port

Bad Case of a Seventeen Tear Old Girl
Efficient Work of Officers.
About a week ago a man arrived in
town from near Portland accompanied
by a young girl about seventeen years
of age. Immediately on arriving he
placed the cirl in a house of ill fame
and hasiheen living with ber since,
Marshal Lauer got wind of the affair
and set to work at once to find out all
he could about the case. By interview
ing the proper authorities he learned
that nothing could be done regarding
the girl so he turned his attention to
the man, and last night succeeded in
having him leave the city. The girl
has a sister living in this city and in
company with Marshal Lauer they had
a talk with the girl and tried to per,
suade ber to leave the miserable life
she had begun to lead. She replied
that she did not care to reform and
that the life was good enough for
her as she hud ruined her prospects
already. All arguments and pleadings
were te no avail, so she has been left
to her peril. There should be some
way In which a man could be punished
who would lead such a young girl to de
struction. There is surely not the least
bit of manhood or respect about him
and he is not fit to mingle with society
ar.d should be placed where he can
not use his Influence in the future.
Do lo Waat Fresh News?
The Times-Mountaineer desires to
be progressive and keep abreast of the
times, hence it is now putting forth an
effort to give Its readers a condensed
teleeraph report of the principal
events of each day, so that the people
of The Dalles each evening may be
advised of what has transpired
throughout the world. This report
costs a considerable amount of money,
and can only be continued through in
creased support of the paper. If the
Tines-Mountaineer can be assured ef
200 additional daily subscribers it will
continue taking an afternoon telegraph
report that will contain from one to
one and one-half columns of dis
patches each day. If the citizens of
The Dalles want the news of today
"today" let them signify their,, desire
by giving the paper an increased sup
port. It will be delivered at your door
each evening for Id eents a week or
50 cents a month.
A Truly Patriotic Order. -.
The presentation of a handsome silk
flag to Company G, by the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks was in
deed an evidence of the patriotism of
that noble order. The flag presented
was one that was disposed of at the
Cathollo fair here last fall to the most
popular society in the city, and was
carried away by Cascade Loage, No.
303, B. P. O. Elks, after a hard-fought
contest for supremacy. However, the
lodge, while the American flag is one
of Its emblems, felt that The Dalles
militia, after being called out to do
battle with the Spanish murderers,
had more need for the flag than has
the lodge, concluded to present it to
the Company G. with the hope that it
will never he trailed in the dust or al
lowed to fall into the hands of the
nation's enemies. This little acton
the part of Cascade Lodge fully demon
strates the patriotism ' of the order,
and evidences the fact that it is truly
an American institution. -

STATE MWI.
Interesting I'mi Clipped From the State
Exchanges.
On Tuesday afternoon the house of
Dan Moore, at Carson, Union county.
was totally destroyed, together with
the contents. The loss is about $2500,
The farm house of L. D. Metskar, in
Pleasant valley, Baker county, was de.
stroyed by fire last Tuesday, causing a
loss of $900.
Company D, Third brtt&lion of 55
picked men, from La Grande, have of
fered their services to the nation aid
will rendezvous in Portland tomorrow,
About 150 men are at work for the
O. R. & N. Co., laying steel rails be
tween Umatilla and Wallula.
Oliver and Len Knott, successful
sheepmen of Birch creek, had more
Iuck with lambing this seasen than
ever before. Their band of 2000 ewes
on Birch creek yielded 115 per cent.
Scott & Company's saw mill, located
15 miles northwest of Baker City, was
totally destroyed by fire at 4 o'clock
weanesaay morning. There was no
insurance. Sam Scott, while en
deavoring to save some machinery
was badly burued. "
James Reld, who was cruelly beaten
by the Oliver Bros., en Beaver creek,
eight miles fiom Baker City, a few
days ago, has died from his injuries.
After careful idvestlgation and on the
findiags of the coroner's jury William
and Marshall Oliver have beeu held
for the murder without bail.
A serious accident occurred al the
railroad crossiug oa High street, as
the Roseburg mall train passed through
Eugene from the south Wednesday.
Roy Sajles, 17 years old, attempted to
cruss the track in front of the train
with a team and heavy wagon. The
wagon was struck squarely by the en
gine, and demolished, and Sayles was
thrown so as to fall In a badly bruised
condition on the pilot, where he clung
until the train was stopped. Sayles'
injuries are not considered fatal.
Portland women have announced
that they will feed all the militia boys
from country points who will be as
sembled at Portland soon. The reason
for this is that the state government
has made no provision for feeding the
men who will come from the country,
and while they will probably be in
Portland only a few days, it is an im
perative necessity that they have
something to 4 at. The military board
will be so busy with other affairs that
they will have no time to attend to
this matter in the right way, and the
active aid of the ladies will be an im
mense help and will enable the board
to put the Oregon militia in the field
in as good condition as any of the
other state detachments.
A field for church work.
Lutheran Ministers Eneonrat;ed by Trip
Into the Country
Rev. L. Gray, of this city, and Rer.
J. T. Beates, of Seattle, have returned
from a visit to Sherman county, and
report a pleasant trip, also that the
farmers in Sherman are wearing pleas
ant faces, on account of their wheat
fields looking well and not suffering
materially for want of rain. The ob
ject of their trip was to look over the
country south and east of here with a
view to the extension of Lutheran
missionary work, and it was intended
to have visited Wasco, Moro, Grass
Valley and Prineville, but the field at
Wasco proved more promising than
they had anticipated, hence the trip
south was postponed to some future
date, and a thorough canvass of the
northern part of Sherman county was
at once undertaken. '
The people of that section subscribed
so liberally to the support of an Eng
lish Lutheran church, that it was de
cided te extend a eall at once to an
English Lutheran student of theology
from a Chicago seminary who will he
ordained next month. About all the
Lutherans in Northern Sherman
county participate in this move, and
the matter is now in the hands of Rev.
J. T. Beates, president of the North
Pacific Conference of the English
Lutheran church. It is highly prob
able the plan will mature, and that the
second English Lutheran mialf ter
will be stationed in Eastern Oregon
before the elapse of many weeks.
"Con Tol Ber."
Here's to ten thousand Spanish
slain:
(Which don't quite square us for the
Maine.)
Here's to Weyler on a yard arm
strung;
(It's too good a death for the hound
to De nung.i
Here's to the queen; may she one
dav shine.
And, as a private citizen be right in
line.
And with due respect to her high
estate.
See her country wiped from the
scholar's slate.
May Spain's downfall do her country
good;
And breed a republic where Spain
has stood.
May the beasts who caused the loss
of the Maine.
Toss to and fro on a bed of pain.
And may they on their bed of death,
While gasping still for fading breath,
Knew all was loss, and nothing tain
In blowing up the good ship Maine.

TBS BUSH CONTINUES.
Customers
Know a Good Thins;
When
They See It.
There is no abatement to the rush
for goods at the great Northern Furni
ture store, and the reason is easily ex
plained. It is because such elegant
goods are sold at such reasonable
pricss. Just think of a handsome bed
room set for 910 and up, while all other
goods are marked at corresponding
low prices.
And the variety of goods to select
from is another attraction. In steel
ranges of the Bowers make, which is
the best range on the market, the cus
tomer finds any size or style he may
desire. Then there is a large stock of.
graniteware, dishes, crockery, tinware,
and in fact everything needed in
housefurnlshlng. The stock is com
plete, the variety large and the prices
are to reasonable anyone can afford to
buy. The rusli will continue attnis
store all summer, for everybody will
discard old furniture and buy new
whan it can be bad so reasonably.

Food Famine In Havaaa.
Key West. April 28. Capt. Small
has just landed here with a body of
Cubans who escaped, from the Spanish
authorities. They report the food sup
ply very short In Havana, and that a
famine is inevitable unless food can be

poorer classes, and many leyal Span

which to save them from starvation.

tion o' providing revenue to prosecute
the war with Spain was the principal

a popular loan on bonds of small de
nomination meet with little fayor with
the members of the cabinet.
Many W1U Be Disappointed.
Washington, April 29. The first
call for 125,000 volunteers would easily
be responded to by 2,000,000 men if
they were permitted to enlist, but the
war department forbids any state send
ing more than its regular quota. Thus
thousands of mon who are anxious to
enter the army will meet with disap
pointment. '
