Dnnne at Portland, is in receipt' of a
full supply of war-tax stamps of de
nominations of 1. 2, 5, 10 and 25 cents,

for such stamps. The small amounts
of stamps received heretofore went off

Picturesque Spot In
Mountain.
the. Cascade
A party of Dalles ladies have gone
into-summer quarters at Trout Lake,
and have named their abode "Camp
Manilla," an appropriate name for
present times.. One of them writing
home, says "the 'stars and stripes wave
from every poplar"" tree. Patriotism
fills the air os every side, and cheers
rent the air from morn till night for
Uncle Sam, Sampson, Schley, Shafter
and the rest of the boys." .
The camp is described .as a) pictur
esque place, the air is invigorating, in
fact too invigorating the past few days
to be comfortable, for the weather ban
been cold and blustering, more like
December than July.
Fishing at the lake, the writer says,
is good, and fine, fresh trout are promi
nent on their bill of fare each meal.
When "summer comes" she says
"Camp Manila" will be one of the
most delightful spots on earth. Be
sides the Dallesites there are a number
of Portlanders camped at the lake.
Banco Mail Contractor. .
Ever since the "star route" service
was established in this-country the-e
has been contractors. ; submitting
bids for carrying mails ..at ruinously
low prices, then re-letting them to some
poor fellow -who-undertook the. job,
and generally went broke; . But-times
are changing, and occasionally one of
these big contractors. fletS; bit.1- This
seems to be.thecase inuTOQ Af tbe con
tracts for carrying mail into Fossil,
and is ventilated by the Journal as fol
lows: ... i ,; "
"The eastern mail route "farmer"
who took the new Fossil-Waterman
route at a ruinously low 'price, failed
to show ud as he could not get a sucker
to take it off his hands,' and Postmaster
Gates has employed Albin Bucking
ham by tbe day to carry tbe mail over
this route until other arrangements
can be made; and the first trip was
made by Albin last Friday, just one
week later than the Starting time stip
ulated by the government. Under the
present arrangement the route is cost
ing almost three times the amount of
the Eastern shark's bid; and nearly
twise the amount of the bids of local
men. Of course, the difference be
tween the delinquent contractor's bid
and the actual cost of supplying the
route will come out of the Contractor's
bond, if it be not a straw one. A simi
lar state of things exists on the Arlington-Fossil
line, a much bigger
route, which is being temporarily sup
plied by the day by -the former con
tractor, the new man, also a big East
ern route farmer, having first got "bis

ABB PLEASING ENTEBTAINEBS.
A Family of Acaompltsheol Musicians and
Com medians.
The expectations of those who at
tended the entertainment given by the
Somers family at the Baldwin were
more than realized, for the parform
ance was better than any one expected.
The company appeared somewhat at a
disadvantage, owing to an accident
that befell them near Moro a few days
ago, in which Mrs. Somers was so
severely injured that she could not ap
pear on the stage, and all the - other
members were more or less shaken up.
MUs Nellie having had her left arm
severely hurt, but this did not detract
from her charms, and she appeared up
on the stage a most charming and
tallented little lady. Her voice is in
deed something wonderful, and for one
of her age displays talent that will
bring her to the front as a star some
day. Master Perrin also displays
great talent as a comedian, and little
Lottie and Carl are jewels. Their
acting is splendid and their voices are
good. . .
This is the Somers family's first
season, on. the road, and from the
talent they display, they are certain to
become great attractions;. Inthe

ANOTBEB BECBIAbT WIFE.
She Tire of Farm Life and Flee With
a Despoiler.
Yesterday John Bushaw, a Gilliam
county farmer, was in The Dalles tell
ing a tale of woe that is often beard
that of a weak woman and unprincipled
man. His story is that he with his
wife and daughter, aged eight years,
were living happily on their farm,
when one George Roberts, a mining
man of Portland, appeared -to disturb
their peace.
Tbe Bushaw home was not palatial,
having none of the luxuries of city
mansions, but was just an ordinary
farm home. Work was hard for both
husband and wife, and days of rest
were few. Tbe wife was tired of such
life, and she listened to tbe stories of
ease and comfort of city life told her
by the visitor. The persuasions of
Roberts were more than she could re
sist. The result was a repetition of
tbe same old story a hasty flight of
a dishonest man and frail woman.
Even the eight-year-old girl was taken
along, and tbe father is heartbroken
at the loss of his child. He believes
the guilty pair are in Portland, and
will use every endeavor to get the girl
away from them.
Physicians recommend soda, sarsa

Possibly they could have seen some

But He Insists That His Ships Shall
Sail at Will.
New "York. July 19, A World dis
patch from Manila, July IS, says:
Admiral Dewey sent a message, to
the German admiral recently to in
quire whether America and Germany
are at peace or at -war. If they are' at
peace, he demanded that the German
warshi ps here pursue a different course
if 'they are aft war,' he wants to know it
and could govern himself accordingly.
Admiral Dewey was prompted to send
this peremtory message by tbe action
of the' German cruiser Irene,. In. pre
venting an insurgent attack upon the
Spanish garrison at Subig bay, vilch
greatly displeased him. "' . .-'".
Admiral von Diedricbs, In command
of the German fleet in the Pacific, re
turned an answer which was apologetic
in tone and was satisfactory", but after
wards sent to Admiral Dewey a note
saying that he objected to the Ameri
cans stopping .German ships which
have been in the' bay once. The Ger
man ships have made' a -practice of
coming into Manila, and then making
trips outside the bay,' cruising among
the islands and' returning in two or
three days. The German contention
is that , a shjpj should .not1' be stopped
after the first time. Admiral' Dewey
replied that Manila is a- blockaded
port, and that he would" continue to
have all ships communicated ""with
when he desired, " whether . on the first
or the hundredth time of entering the
. The German. admiral responded, still
objecting, and saying that he would
submit. the question .to the senior offi
cers of hi other warships. ,-'.'
