PASSED THKOUUH THE DALLES.
Idaho's Soldiers Given a Hearty Recep
tion Here.
At 6:30 this morning the first train
carrying tbe Idaho volunteers reached
The Dalle-? and the boys were given a
hearty reception by the members of
the G. A. R. and the citizens of the
city. All night long willing hands
had been preparing coffee to refresh
the buncbgrass recruits, and when the
first section stopped at the depot, it
was boarded by a detach men j armed
with coffee cans and milk. The sol
diers were refreshed by the cofiee, and
gave vent to their feelings by giying
loud and long cheers for The Dalles.
Tbe G. A. R. was also out in full force
to bid the boys fiom Idaho Godspeed
aod welcome. As tbe old veterans
passed by the train, the boys inside
gave tbem such a cheer that it almost
raised the roof off the cars.
Before the second section arrived,
the visiting Grand Army men had de
parted, but the citizens of The D alles
received the boys at 8 o'clock and
served them with coffee, which was
duly appreciated, for as some of them
said, it was the only substantial re
ception tbey had received on the trip.
Tbey had been cheered and salutes
had been fired in their honor, but The
Dalles was the only place tbat had
offered them anything to eat or drink.
Idaho's contribution is an army of
which the mountain state may well
feel proud. Out of the 700 men there
did not appear to be one who was not
capable of bearing arms. They are a
fine lot of fellows, and if thrown into
active service, will be fighters who
will send good reports bacir. from
tbe
Philippines.

waiting to welcome the visitors
About 240 arrived and were taken
charge of by tbe reception committee
Early in tbe evening the opera nouse

ica."
TBE CATTLE BUSINESS.
Uood
Prices Has Drained the Cattle
Ranges In Ka stern Oregon.
Ed. F. Horn, a stockman on the John
Day, is in Portland. In conversation
with the Telegram reporter, says the
beef cattle have all been sold out of
Gilliam county, "except a few fat
cows." Stockraisers have netted good
prices this year for all they had to sell,
even yearling calves bringing $20 a
head, which is more then tbey are
reasonably worth. Cayuses, however,
have not advanced in price, in fact
those horses are not worth as much as
tbey were three years ago, when they
could be sold for $2.50 a bead to be
canned for the epicures of Paris. The
buncbgrass ranges of Gilliam county
are alive with ponies and no provision
is being made against their finally
overrunning the country and taking
the grass from the more valuable cat
tle and sheep. If the owners had
taken proper care of all the colts the
indiscriminate increrse would not uow
be a menace to the interests of stock,
men.
Mr. Horn says in regard to the clash
ing interests of sheep and cattlemen,
that the latter do not stand much show
for grass on tbe public lands at pres
ent, as cattle cannot live where sheep
are allowed to roam and pick out all
the finer grasses. Only deeded land
is now proof against the incursions of
the sheep, and a cattle ' raiser who in
tends to stick to the business must
make np his mind to own pasture
land as well -as farming land, where
hay can be raised for feeding during
the winter months.
THE O. A. B. PABADB.
A Triumphant March Through the Streets
of The Dalles. '
Today The Dalies was in holiday
attire in honor of tbe old veterans,
and when at 10 o'clock the G. A. R.
parade formed, the entire city was out
to witness the procession. It was
formed on Third street in front of tbe
armory, under tbe command of Colo
nel Patterson and aids. The proces
sion was led by The Dalles brass band,
then came the field officers and staff of
the Third battalion, O. N. G., and
wbat is left of Co. G, followed by the
members of tbe Grand Army of the
Republic, carriages containing the de
partment commanders of the G. A. R ,
Relief Corps and Sons of Veterans,
mayor of The Dalles and president of
tbe Commercial Club, next came tbe
Relief Corps, followed by 700 school
children from The Dalles public
schools. The procession' was half a
mile in length, and required 15 min
utes to pass a given point. -
After haying marched through the
principal streets of the city, tbe armory
was reached, when the procession dis
banded. It was beyond question the
most striking procession ever formed
in The Dalles, and will long be re
membered as the city's tribute to tbe
old veterans.
Encouraging- News From Greenhorn.
L. L. Hill has received a letter from
his son, who is with J. H. Cradle-
baugh, working the Golden Eagle
mine in the Greenhorn district, tbat
contains very encouraging news.

hours with a three-stamp mill and
cleaned up about $200, besides having
a lot of concentrates left that are very
rich. Tbey have five or six tons of
ore out now ready to mill, that Mr.
Hill believes is richer than any tbey
have yet worked. He speaks very en
couragingly regarding the mine, and
says it prospects richer every foot
they go in on tbe ledge.

Sheep Baising in Eastern Oregon.
Miles Lee, of Richland, is the larg
est individual owner of sheep in
Baker county, having 14,000 head.
Ten years ago Miles Lee and his
brother, David Lee, came to North
Powder, and worked for a while as
ranch hands, and then herded sheep
for a short time, when they invested
in the sheep industry the few hundred
dollars they had accumulated by hard
labor, and since then have devoted
their time aod ability to the industry.
During the yeras of bard times when
the proceeds of sheep would scarcely
pay for tbe "running" of them, when
so many men either voluntarily or by
force of circumstances fold their sheep
at such low prices as to ' ruin them
financially, the Lee brothers managed
by good business tact to hold their
sheep, and today either of these two
men, who 10 years ago worked for
wages, is worth $40,000.

s ore Sprigs of Oregon Grapes.
When the volunteers left Portland
Monday, every man in line wore a
sprig of Oregon grape. The sprigs
were presented by an anonymous
friend of tbe soldier boys, who saw the
boys .march away from Vermont in
1841, each wearing a spray of ever
green. They were brought to Camp
McKinley in tbe morning by four
young ladies, all great great-granddaughters
of Roger Sherman, the only
man who signed all four of tbe im
portant documents of tbe revolution,
the address to the king, the Declara
tion of Independence, the federation
of the states and the constitution.

COST OF TEXT BOOKS.
Oregon
Paying Too
Books.
Much for It
Portland, Oregon. May 16, 1898.
ED. TlMSS-MOUNfAINEBB:
Flease permit me througa your
columns to call public attention to one
of the vital points of this campaign
now before the people, to be settled
by the election, June 6th.
It relates to school text books, their
prices, aod the means of relief.
Prices of books in Oregon are too
high: In Washington, California,
Idaho, Montana, Missouri, and no
doubt in other states, school text
books cost from 25 to 50 per cent less
than in Oregon.
A Maxwell's grammar that cost 30
cents in Idaho, costs 45 cents in Oregon
A Sticknej's Fiftb reader, better than
ours, cosn 60 cents in Montana, and
$1.00 in Oregon. A Franklin First
reader, b( tier than ours, costs 12 cents
in Missouri agaiust 25 cents for ours
in Oregon.
We have something like 90.0000
children enrolled in our schools. It is
a question which they can settle on
their slates, or even In their beads
without slates, how much it wiil cost
ail these children more than is
necessary if it costs each one, say, 25
cents a year more than is right for
school books.
Sialicucs from any of these states
will no doubt he furnished upon ap
plication, and the problem can be
easily worked out by any one with a
little intelligence, a slate pencil and
the American Book Company's price
list thrown in.
The fact is tbat - the contract com
pleted January 1, I89o, upon a vote
taken in 1894 for school books, gave
Oregon very bad prices, or rather very
good prices to the company contract
ing. This was the American Book
Company. It sells nearly all the
school books in our state. It is work
ing bard to retain this contract until
1901, and then to continue it six years
longer. Tbe candidate who is under
stood to be supported by them, voted
lor their books with but few excep
tions and those unimportant, in 1891
Tbe candidate who voted against them
in 1894, and is now pledged to change
this contract, is not befriended by tbe
American Book Company; he is oppos
ed by them.
As that candidate, who is opposed
by this book trust, I wish toreaffiim
through your columns, my opposition
to tne p-esent contract, and to say
tbat if elected I shall use all tbe
power of my office to give the people
of Oregon as favorable prices and as
good books as In the neighboring
states. A change of contract not
necessari'y of books, though in several
branches we might have better books
is what I favor; and I will favor any
book company, of whatever publica
tion, wbo will give us fair prices. I
fayor also competition among a num
ber of the best publishers, as in Idaho,
where there are 13 publishers doing
business, or in Missouri wbere there

ENCAMPMENT ENDS.
O. A. B. Well Received A Thousand Peo
ple Tarn Ont Interesting Program.
The Vogt opera house was crowded
to tbe doors last night, with people
wbo had turned out to attend the
camp firb given by the G. A. R. It is
estimated tbat fully one thousand peo
ple attended, anr they were amply re
paid for a very fine program was ren
dered. ' General G. E. Cauken was introduced
as chairman by Capt. Lewis, and on
taking his seat called on Commander
Holloway, who gave a very patriotic
talk.
The Washington drill by thirteen
little boys from the school rooms of
Mrs. Baldwin, Miss Flinn and Miss
Phirman, was exceptionally good and
well received. The little fellows were
dressed in colonial costume; and when
the fourteen little mis3)8 marched up
on the stage and sang "America," as
sisted by the little boys, they brought
down the house. This number ended
with a clever drill, which showed they
had been carefully trained.
A recitation by Miss Jones, of La
Camas, followed the above and waa
well received.
The next number, a tableau by twenty
young ladies from Miss Michell's room,
was one of tbe prettiest parts of the
evening's program.
Mrs. M. W. Briggs, the adopted
daughter of the Department of Oregon,
G. A. R., was then - presented with a
badge of honor from the department,
by Rev. G. W. Grannis, of Salem. She
responded in a very appropriate man
ner, graciously thanking tbe Grand
Army for their token and esteem.
A quartet by Messrs. Lundell, Glf
ford. French and Gotfreid, was ren
dered in a way that showed they were
thorough singers.
A response by H. V. Gates, to the
"old boys in blue," brought memories
of the past yividly to mind.
Mrs Maude Eddon next gave a reci
tation in her usual pleasing way, and
was heartily encored.
.The tableau, "Tenting on the Old
Camp Ground," was of unusual merit
and provoked much applause.
A ladies' quartet theu favored the
hearers with a selection, after which
tbe audience arose and sang America,
and with hearty cheers for the G. A.
R., the seventeenth annual encamp
ment ended.

GERMANY AX
ALLY OF
SPAIN
Indications Are That There
Is an
Understanding.
c Washington, May 19. The govern
ment has positive evidence tbat Ger
many is supplying expert gunners for
the Spanish fleet at Cadiz.
This appears . to be positive proof
that there is an understanding be
tween Spain and Germany that the
latter is to furnish assistance to the
former to prosecute the war with the
United States. To what extent Ger
many may lend assistance Is a matter
of conjecture, but the fact that she Is
supplying gunners for the Spanish
fleet, coupled with Bismarck's recent
expressions, Indicates tbat an alliance
has been formed, and that Germany is
unfriendly to this government.
Sampson and Schley Are Now To
gether.
Washington, May 19. Admiral
Sampson and Commodore Schley have
notified the naval departmeut that
they haye formed a junction with
their fleets in Cuban waters and are

the strongest naval fleet that eyer
sailec under one flag on this side of
the Atlantic.

ince of Santiago de Cuba, and is
strongly fortified.
Gladstone is Dead.
London, May 19. William E. Glad
stone, tbe great statesman and writer.

morning. All England is in mourn
ing. The statesman was conscious al
most to the last, and death came peace
fully and apparently without suffering.
Cuban Insurgent Backsliders
Key West, May 19. It is reported
here on wbat appears to be good au
thority that several thousand Cuban

ments haye been offered to them to
