A few very choice lots of wool were
sold here yesterday for 14 cents, .but,
this does not establish the market

are holding out for 15. cent 3.
Mrs. J. M. Filloon came Lome last
night from her summer resort at

severe lately, she says, for comfort.
The enterprising town of Dufur is
improving right along, several new
buildings being under course of; con
struction, prominent among which is
, the club rooms being fitted up by H
S. Turner, a three story building, the
hurricane deck of which is to be- used
for lodging apartments.
The D. P. & A. N. Co. have about
concluded to let the Regulator remain
where it is, on the beach above
Bonneville, until the water shall go
down, then take it put and repair the
hull. All the attempts thus far to get
the boat off the rocks have failed, and
to repair it where it is, is about the
only course left.

foot that disappeared into the flesh,

it will not be removed.

to do so they must read the Times
Mountaineer. "

In a lengthy interview, Fish Com
missioner McGuire informs the Astoria
Budget that unless steps are taken by
the next legislature to preserve the
fish industry that the business will be
practically wiped out of existence.
Seventy millions of dollars worth
of salmon have been taken in
: the past from the Columbia
river without any great , effort to
. replenish the supply. Commissioner
McGuire advocates the appropriation
of $20,000 to establish and operate
hatcheries. California, appropriates
$27,000 for this purpose and New York

I pratically done nothing. 1

.It is a difficult matter for a reporter
to keep an account of Dallesites who
have gone to summer resorts, there is
such a long list of th'rrn.- It's an easier
job to keep tab on those who remain
at home.
Fred W. Wilson loaded himself into
a cart this forenoon and started for the

sheep in which ho is interested. Fred

duct of their labor will be gathered
together and attractively displayed at
the Oregun Industrial Exposition. '
A pleasant social was held at the
Calvary Bantist church Saturday even
ing, attended by a goodly number

Senator Dufur writes home from
Gold Hill that the mines in which he

the man as soon as they get to operat
ing. Messrs. Jos Vogt. and Leo Schanno,
two prominent young men of the city,
returned last evening on the 6 o'clock
train from a week's sojourn through
the "beautiful Wilamette." They also
spent, a day in Portland on their re
turn home, and report having taken
the place by "storm.''
The men who are pushing to success
the Oregon Industrial Exposition are
enterprising and unselfish. They are
working hard to bring together a
creditable collection of the products of
the great Northwest, and their labor
of love is intended for the benefit of
ail and will result in great good to a
great number.
While returning from a drive on
Mill creek yesterday Mr. and Mrs. J.
M. Fuloon's buggy was run into by a
reckless driver and was considerably
damaged. Mrs. Filloon was tbriwn
from the buggy and sustained slight
bruises. The occupants of the other
vehicles were not hurt, but their buggy
was almost a total wreck.
The highest price ever reached by
wheat was $5 per bushel in 1812. This
price was due to the failure of the' En
glish crop, and a very high tariff on
cereals. In November of 1866 wheat
sold at $2.03 in Chicago, and during
the following spring a "corner" sent
the price to -$2 85 by May 1. In 1888
wheat went to $2 as the result of a
corner." but such instances are rare.
Today the Diamond mills shipped a
car of flour to San Francisco. While
In the past these mills have found a
market nearly everywhere for their
celebrated "Diamond Brand," they
have not sought San Francisco as a
market, and we believe this is the first
car or flour iney nave sent there.
When Frisco epicures get a taste of
Dalles flour, they will want it all the
time.

recruits who left here two weeks ago,
writes home from Camp Merritt under
date of the 19th, to his mother, .Mrs.

diers is not all pleasure. He says the
boys have not drawn their pay, and
the commissary department does not
look after their wants as closely as
they should. However he is still
patriotic, and ready to meet any
emergency.
A small boy on war: "My pa has
gone to fight the Spaniards, an' they
ain't been no row at our house since
he left. Ma says peace was declared

an' said he thanks God for war, and
now he'll have a holiday; and he said
he hopes the war'll last ten years, and
then end so fur from home that be

she said 'Amen I They goes on that
way, but I guess if pa was killed, she'd

place by a large number of friends of

nal score on the Umatilla house alleys.
He made the high score every day and
had a general average of 62 2-5. His
daily score was as follows: 59, 61,
62, 66, 65, 60. Mr. M iez is unques
tionably the most regular bowler in
the city, and it is a question if he is
not the beat bowlor on the coast.
Mr. Hayden, of London, Ky., who
has the contract for carrving the mail
from The Dalles to Prineville. has
about completed arrangements-ior sub
letting the route to J. M. Cornett,

of the route the people along the line

vice. Whether there is a body of coal
underlying the country in the vicinity
of Chenoweth creek will most likely

" There has been no move in the wool

'cms.

says the East Oregonian. The wheat

the W. & C. R. railway. A shade bet
ter than 50 flat is demanded by those

a little better than some that will be'
raisid in Umatilla county this year,
the higer price was paid.
CITY HI THE COLUMBIA.
Hood River and Its Kaslness Interests as
Seen by a .Correspondent.
The fruit and berries of Hood River
valley have carried the fame of that
section to all parts of our common
countiy. On the banks of the Colum
bia at the mouth of Hood River nestles
the prosperous and growing town. The
scenery is picturesque, as the land
slopes in hill like formation back from
the Columbia the track of the O. R.
& N. railroad skirts the migh'i-y river.
The town of flood Kiver contains some
400or;00 p' , ". all t'a -tinted with
their lot. Th; church edifices of the
embryo city are attractive and on days
of worship universally attended, for
Hood River is a inoral and religious
community and boasts that there is no
saloon in its midst. The public school
is the pride of the community, and a
literary club kcown as the Traverse
club after its founder, Lady TravergO
of England, who spent several seasons
at Hood River is conducted upon ad
vanced lines including work for old
andvoung. The
MOUNT HOOD HOTEL.
1 the hostelry of Hood River and
under the .management of Charles A.
Bell is conducted on first-clans lines
and is gererously patronized by thp
traveling public, numbers of tourists
making it headquarters during the
summer season. The
HOOD RIVER BOX FACTORY,
of which W. J. Smith is proprietor, is
a leading industry. It has been in
operation for four yea-s and gives em
ployment to a score of bands. It fur
nishes the boxes and crates for the
fruit and berry crops of the valley and
ships boxes as far east as Idaho. ' It
furnished to the local growers some
35.000 crates of berry boxes this season,
and its trade is now in such prosperous
condition as to make it necessary to
run the year round in order to keep
stock on hand for the busv season.

oiners is a gentleman who deals very
recklessly with facts, if The Criterion
published ' at Portland, quotes him
correctly. - The geuteiman referred to
is Prof. Shaw, of the Mio neso'a expert
mental station. He attended the
farmers' congress at Astoria last weak,
and being asked how many sheep can
be raised to an acre said: "The stale
(Minnesota) bad a sraall flock of sheep.
and two and threa-quatjr acres of land
were secured. There were fifty-three
sheep in the flock, but we managed to
pasture them for thi'ee months. The
next year we had 10 acres of land and
88 sheep and lambs. The following
year we got 10 tons of wool from this
small Hock, and the year following 20
tons."
This would be a most remarkable
clip of wool a little more than 465
pounds to the sheep. Prof. Shaw
might have made the salmon fishers at
Astoiia believe such a varn, but be
couldn't stuff an Eastern Oregon wool
grower with it.
WILL STAY IN t-CR.l.
The Army at Santiago Will Msve to Re
main 1 here 1'iuil Free f ront Fever
A Washington special to the New
York Time9 says:
To the question, "What is to be
done with General Shifter's Fifth
corps, now at Santiago?" the heads of
the war administration can find but
one answer, lhat is to Keep it in Cuba
until every vestige of yellow fever is
stamped out of it. It can be stated
positively that there is no intention
of bringing the troops back to this
country at the present time. The
authorities here believe that it would
be dangerous to run the risk of spread
ing the fever broadcast throughout
this country by bringing the men back
here so long as the pest is among them.
And it is agreed that the best place to
fight the disease is right where they
are now. Adjutant General Corbin,
when asked what it wa proposed to
do with the Santiago army, said:
"What can we .do but leave the
tt oops there until they are free from
the fever?. Wecan't fight it anywhere
else as well as there. Undertake to
bring them back to this country, and
it would infect every transport we have
and if we brought them back, where
would we land them? There is no city
of the coast that would not rise in arms
at the very suggestion ef landing a
fever-iufected army within its limits.
Sadly Afflicted.
The family Mr. and Mrs. Rerai Ron
deau, who reside near Kingsley, is in

Protection AgalnBt Fire.
While The Dalles has a very com
plete, fire "department and the best
apparatus of any tOwn of its size in
the state, still there is room for im
provement. Some of the property
owners have undertaken to more
thoroughly protect their property
against fire by the purchase of Stem
pie fire extinguishers and placing them
in acuessable places in their premises.
Max Vogt & Co. have bought three of
these extinguishers and have one in
the Vogt block one in the Chapman
block, and one in the opera house.
A- M. Williams & Co. have three of
them and J. T. Peters & Co. have
three distributed among their various
properties.
This extinguisher i the best that is
made and is a very effective contri
vance, it 19 charged with water Dom
ing a solution of soda and in the top is
a bottle, of acid, which when the ex
tinguisher is ' turned over, -breaks a
bottle of acid that generates a gat. that
is thrown upon, the fire. The ex
tinguisher is a perfect success, and it
would be well if one were placed in
every business house in the city.

Grant county stockmen have sold
more stock this year than for 9even
years past, and from present indica- I
tions there are enough buyers now in

can possibly contract for in the way of
sheep and cattle, but local men are
buying for speculation.

OREGON'S NEW INDUSTRY.
-JSapId Completion of the La urande Beet
Sogar Factory.
Concerning the tew factory of the
Oregon Sugar Company located at La
Grande, the La Grande Chronicle says
that the buildings will be completed
tarly in September, some two weeks
before the beets are matured. The
company is incorporated for $1,000,000
and is a close corporation, subscrip
tions for stock being limited to a few
individuals of means and previous ex
perience in the business. The com'
pany owns 80 acres of land around the
buildings, which will be utilized as
stockyards, warehouse sites, etc. Two
hundred and fifty tons of steel will be
used in the construction of the factory
and 750,000 bricks, and 150 mechanics
are employed upon the work. Over
1200 tons of machinery are in the build
ing with more to follow,- all of Amer
ican make and of the very latest pat
tern. The present - capacity is to
handle 350 tons of beets daily, which
can be easily doubled at comparatively
small expense. The plant will cost
fully $475,000, and will be run during
the season to its full capacity 24 hours
each day, giving employment to 100
men. Eight thousand cords of wood
will be used each season. Thirty-five
hundred acres have been planted to
sugar beets by farmers adjacent to the
factory, under contract to the factory.
The yield is conservatively estimated
at 10 tons per acre, and the contract
price is $4 per ton.

Should Be Looked After.
Physicians who practice in the
vicinity of Dufur and Kingsley report
the prevalence of scarlet fever in a
diphtheritic form in that section, and
pronounce it nearly, jf not quite as
contageous and fatal as diphtheria. If
their diagnosis of the disease is cor
rect, certainly some steps should be
taken to prevent its spreading. Quar
antine measuies should be instituted,
and persons from the infected region
snouid be prevented from visiting
other localities. It would not be
amis for the officials of The Dalles to
examine into the matter, and if it is as
reported, prevent persoLS from that
section coming into the city until the
contagion subsdies.
An Expressive Cartoon.
The cartoon which Mr. Dawson has
displayed in. Pease & Mays' window
tbis week, is the most expressive of
any he has yet originated. It shows
the queen regent of Spain blindfolded
and adrift in a boat, with Sagasta, in
the form of a mule, also blindfolded,
piloting the craft, which is headed for
rocks and shoals personated by Dewey,
Sampson, Schley, Clark and Watson.
ine tnougnt represented is indeed a
good one, since it shows the blindness
of Spain casting up against certain de
struction in persisting o combat with
the United States.
A Pendleton Traegdy.
Yesterday George Ely was mortally
wounded by Moses Thompson on
Main street in Pendleton. Thompson
and Ely were partners in the stage
business, and the cause of the shooting
had its origin in a -dispute over
business disagreements in connection
with the stage and mail contracts.
The shooting was unprovoked, as Ely
was talkiog to another party when
Thompson approached and assaulted
him.
