tion with The Dalles steam laundry,

In the absence of rain, the present

fast black and won't run.

. the train has been delayed by a wasb-
f out on the Great Northern railway
It is becoming quite eveident that
Cervera is not bottled up in Santiago
Harbor, but where he is is a mystery.

where and at sometime when least ex
pec ted. If he does Sampson and
Schley will net occupy a place in his
tory along with Dewey.
Today carpenters are at work tear
ing down the wooden addition made to
the brick building on the corner of

places are being taken by handsomer

This morning Geo. Vaderhoof, of
Malheur county, unloaded two cars Of
fine young horses at Saltmarshe Sc
Co's. stock yards, that he is taking to

these horses would have been worth
15,000 but they will not command such
a price now.
In the last' 24 hours the river has
risen three feet, and now stands at

fer freight around the portage, also

The Portland Oregonian and Tri

that the fleet had never been there.
Hon. a. .X.. benoonmaker, the re

his penny sack and dollar of recent
mintage, ju9t like he did two years
ago, but will have no new argument to
produce.
The Dalles is becoming itself once
ore. - The streets in the East End are
lined with wool teams, and the ware
houses are busily engaged receiving
the sheepmen's harvest, while freight
ers throng the stores buying supplies
to take to their homes in the interior.
The wool leceived is generally of good
quality, and should command a fair
price.
A wool buyer remarked today that
the wool market was "sort of out of
joint," and it really seems that it is.
While there are a few buyers here
they are not making offers of any
account. Ordinarllly the wool market
opens brisk by June 1st, but that is
not the case this year. Buyers must
all be off to the war, or are waiting
for a little more duty. About all that
any of them have offered so far is 8 to
10 cents a pound.
next Saturday evening Hon. J. J.
Lentz, of Ohio, will address the citi
zens of this community on the issues
of the day. All those who have a j
leaning toward gold, yet are not afraid

are requested to attend this meeting.
Those who are seeking for knowledge

means hear him. Mr. Lentz was an

Farmers nearly all over the county
say their crops are still looking well,
and will mature without rain provided

a nice looking lot of cattle.
. This is the proper time to spray for
the Codlin moth, says Emile Schanno,
who is on the state board of horticul
ture. The moth is just hatching, and
in a short time wl'l make its home In
the fruit and will injure the growth
and sale. Orchardists will take notice
of this and act accordingly, for if
spraying is delayed and the moth gets
a start, Oregon fruit is doomed.
Certainly there is no other nation
on earth so patriotic as the United
States. Nsver before in the history of
the world were volunteers so plentiful
to enlist for the defense of a coun
try's honor, nor never was an army so
nth usiastir ally received as have been
the volunteers as they have passed
through the country en route to the
different points of mobilization.
When the North Dakota volunteers,
who' passed here Sunday, reached
Hood River, two crates of strawberries
were put on board each car, as a dona
tion to the brave boys from the far
north, and at Portland they were
given a perfect ovation. "' The Emer
gency Corps supplied them with lunch,
and fairly covered them up with roses,
At Junction and Eugene they were sup
plied with lunch, and made to feel
that Oregon appreciated their patriot'
ism.
Frank Forest, a prominent farmer
and stock raiser of Crook county, was
in the city yesterday, and brought a
rather gloomy report from the coun
try to the South. He' said there had
been no rain ' of any consequence in
Crook county for two months, and in
consequence crops are very short and
there is hardly any grass on the
ranges. In all sections where irriga
tion is impossible, Mr. Forest says
crops will be a comparative failure.
A very nandsome picture was pre
sented to the Umatilla House today
by George A. Young and son, the
prominent sheepmen of Ridgeway,
Oregon. It is a photograph of half
and three-quarter blood Schrooshire
lambs, and was taken at Knollin St
Co.'s stockyards at St. Marys, Kansas.
it snows a buncn of steep out of a
band of 4000, and they are an excep
tionally fine looking lot of lambs.
The picture is attracting a great deal
of attention, among stockmen espe
cially, and is one that the donors can
well be proud of.

DHOLE EZEKHXOBEAK, assessor end
tax collector, Beverly, Mass, who has
passed the 80th life mile stone, says:
"Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine has done
great deal ot good. I suffered tor yean bom

MASKED INTEREST WAS SHOWS.
Audience Ustened to King; and
Sovereign.
Friday night the Bald win opera hou
was comfortably filled with those who
assembled to listen to Hon. Will B.
King, nominee for governor, and Hon.
J. R. Sovereign, of Arkansas.
The meeting was called to order by
S. E. Van Vactor, chairman of the
democratic county central committee,
who introduced Mies Sovereign as the
first speaker f the e-'ing. Miss
Sovereign i.;r a few pleasant re
marks conce. uiiig the interest her sex
feels in the present contest ef pluto
cracy against tha masses, and the de
pressing influence tho operations of the
gold standard has on American women.
Mr. King was next introduced, and
at once entered into a brief discussion
of the paramount issue, the money
question, then devoted a short time to
the administration of state affairs,
giving a clear statement of the extrav
agances that have occurred during
past years. Mr. King was greeted by
ringing applauses throughout his ad
dress, showing that his audience was
in close accord with him.
When Mr. Sovereign was introduc
ed, be was given a perfect ovation. He
was very hoarse, but warming up tohis
subject, his voice came to him, and he
was able to explain to the satisfaction
of all, wherein the gold standard is
detrimental to the best interests of the
producer, and wherein the free coin
age of silver would result in better
prices for all products of labor. Mr.
Sovereign kept his hearers In good
humor for nearly two hours, and tbe
argument he submitted was undisput-
able. He is unquestionably a deep
reasoner, and one who has tbe faculty
of presenting facts in a manner that
can be understood by all.
A RICH CHIMNEY SWEEP.
California's Vint Native Son Gloat Not
Upou His Wealth.
G. E. Stowe, the capital sweep.
who has been in the city for some time
past, but leaves tonight for Pendleton,
is a man with a history that is of in
terest. Mr. Stowe claims to be, and
no doubt is, the first white man born in
California. His parents came around
the horn with General John Sutter in
1838, arriving in San Francisco bay
July, 1838, and went with tbe general
to the present site of Sacramento,
where he built a fort.
Mr. Stowe was born at the fort in
1840, 58 years ago. According to Mr.
Stowe's accouut of his life, his father
died in 1873, leaving a fortune of $400,-
000 to three children and the mother,
The present chimney sweep was some
what reckless; and soon went through
his portion of the estate by riotous
living. When his money had vanish
ed, heearned to clean chimneys, and
by this calling has accumulated a com
petency amounting to $19,000 in cash
and $20,000 in real estate.
The Native Sons of California look
ed up Mr. Stowe's antecedence, and
recently granted him a pension of $50
a month, which he says he receives In
quarterly installments. This Mr,
Stowe is putting away for the future,
and he expects to retire to a life of
ease and comfort this fall.

priate to the occasion.

lighted with tbe rendition of the vari
ous numbers ihat appeared oa the pro
gram.
The exercises In every room were of
a high order, and were carried out in
accordance with tbe program pub
lished Thursday. In every instance
the renditions were such as to reflect
credit upon the pupils and to convince
all that thev are receiving excellent
tutorship. The exercises speak vol
umes for the schools of The Dalles, as
being equal if not superior to any in
the state.

business houses were closed In order
to give all an opportunity to partici
pate in the memorial day exercises.
Bntts on lop.
The latest report? are that Cavera
has not been bottled up in Santiago as
has been reported. His fleet is un
doubtedly on the high seas, where
they will have plenty of opportunity
to retreat 'when our ships get within
fighting range of them, as the Span-,
iards experience with Dewey has
taught them that a flghling machine
in tbe hands of the Yannees is not
such wholesome. diet as they first im
agined. Commodore Butts, with his
rapid-fire, low pFice machine, has bot
tled up High Price, and now occupies
two lots on Fourteenth street, corner
of Liberty, as the lawful conquest of
nls never tiring vigilance, which in
order to raise more war revenue will
be offered at the astounding low price
of $160. Any one purchasing this
property will be put in full possession
of it by Dad, and no danger will be
run of being evicted by the Spaniards
or any one else.

At a recent meeting of Temple
Lodge, No. 3, A. O. U. W., a resolu
tion was unanimously adopted pledg
ing to all members of the lodge who
desire to enjist in tbe army during the
1 present war with Spain, that the lodfe
ill pay their dues and assessments
during such enlistment. This was a
truly patriotic move, especially as the
lodge pays a beneficiary ot $2000 on
each death, and should any member
fall in battle, besides having his dues
and assessments paid by the local
lodge, the grand lodge would be called
upon to pay the amount of his bene
ficiary. ARTISAN riCNIO.

The Second Battalion on Their Way to tbe
Philippines.
At 12:40 Sunday 342 North Dakota
volunteers arrived here under com
mand of Lieut. Col. W. C. Truemann.
The first battalion, comprising four
companies, went over the Northern
Pacific and joined Col. Truemann
at Portland. From - there the regi
ment proceeded to San Francisco,
where the men will be equipped and
will hold themselves in readiness to
embark for the Philippines.
The Second North Dakota battalion
constituted four companies, of 327
men, and 15 commisloned officers, and
were a splendid lot of young men, not
a man in the entire battalion being
over 40 years of age. A large per
centage of them were cowboys and
farmers, and if there is anything in
appearance they will make model sol
diers. The men : were not fully
equipped and uniformed, but expect to
receive all their accoutrements at San
Francisco.
When the train bearing them stopped
at the depot, it was met by some 500
citizens of Tbe Dalles, and cheer after
cheer went up for the Dakota troops,
and the emergency corps gave to the
commissary department a large quan
tity of sleeping caps and bandages the
ladies had been making the past few
days. Some of the soldiers mentioned
that they were hungry for salmon, and
H. C. Neilson at -once went into the
markets and secured for them a supply
of royal chinooks. After spending an
hour chatting with Dalles citizens, in
which the soldier boys declared they
had been so hospitably received that
they felt that they were at their homes
in Dakota, they boarded the train, and
rolled away for Portland, waiving hats
and cheering the good people of The
Dalles.

appointed a committee consisting of C.
F. Stephens, H. C. Liebe and Andrew
Keller, whose duty it Is o raise money.
Dalles citizens are enthusiastic over
celebrating tbe national anniversary,
and are determined that July 4th, 1898,
shall be more appropriately cele
brated than any past anniversary of
the nation. The committee inter
viewed ten business men and secured
a donation of $250 within a few hours.
Their purpose is to raise $1,000 for
celebration purposes, and from appear
ance it will be a difficult matter to
keep tbe donation within that limit.
Dalles people art like those who want
to volunteer to fight Spain, They want
to contribute liberally to the celebra
tion fund, t

showers.
Wool Is arriving quite freely but as
yet no price is offered, and buyers have
not put in an appearance.
Some 200 heople took advantage of
the excursion given to Lexington on
Memorial day, and spent a very pleas
ant time in the grove below town.
Politics are booming and neatly
every night there is speaking, while
during the day there is a good deal of
quiet work going ou.
Business is good, yet there is not
the rush that usually takes place in
the spring, although the trade this
season is very steady.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.
Commencement Exercises at the Vogt sat
nrday Evening.
Last Saturday evening was com
mencement day for The Dalles High
schools, and seventeen diplomas were
presented, though two of the graduates,
Max J. Bartell and Walter T. Dickey,
were absent, having enlisted in the
army, and were . called to the Philip
pines, however they were given ex
amination prior to leaving, and were
granted diplomas.
Tbe stage of the opera honse was
handsomely decorated with flowers
and flags, but the most attractive
features were the fifteen young ladies
and gentlemen who have spent years
in careful and arduous study, to fit
themselves for tbe honor that was on
that evening conferred upon them.
Five of the graduates who had pre
pared orations for the occasion, graci
ously consented to have their numbers
ommitted so that the exercises should
not he too long, hence but ten were
delivered. It would be a pleasure to
tbe Times-Mountaineer to give a
synopsis of each of the orations, for
every one was a masterpiece of Intel
lect, but space will not permit. Suffice
It to say that the young people who
graduated from the high school this
year acquitted themselves very credit
able, and we bespeak for each and
every one a brilliant and successful
future. They "have build-'d well and
will reap accordingly." T.he program
rendered was as follows

in Grand Rondo valley than at the

but the recent rains have also insured
a heavy crop of spring-sown wheat.
The run of fish on the lower Colum
bia is still light but the size of the fish
is increasing, and now a 30 or 40-pound
fish is common. The early run of

It.
