a paper for the family and the home,
and now contains advertisements of

and of course their advertisements are
choice matter.

Indications now point to the fact
that Oresron farmers will not receive
anything like the,price3 for their
wheat this year that they did last year.
Better crops in other countries is the
cause for this state of affair- and while
it will make farming far less profitable
in Oregon, it will be the means of en
abling the Door people of the world to
buy their bread more cheaply.
Oregon will have the honor of ap
plying for one of the first Densions of
the American-Spanish war. The ap
plication is for the widow of Washing
ton M. Darrow, who died at Atlanta,
Ga., July 16, from wounds received at
Santiago. July 3. Mr. Darrow was
chief musician of the Tenth cavalry,
and was formerly stationed at Vancou
ver. He went to Santiago with his
regiment, having been appointed chief
musician only a few days previously.
He was 37 years old, having been born
at Cincinnati in 1861.-
Harvest is now on in this greatest
wheat producing area uuder tha sun,
says the Moro Observer, and the sun
is mighty hot too. Thanks for ener
vating sea breezes the evenings are
cool and sleep refreshing. Everything
was in shape last week for a bit? season's
run and by Monday the busy hum of
machinery jould be heard at all points
in the county. The massive combines,
utilized to cut and thresh the harvest,
are doing excellent work. The weather
is fine for harvesting and the farmers
are taking every advantage of it.
The salmon fishing season closes
August 10th, at which time the state
fish and game warden will place a
patrol on the Columbia riyer to pre
vent aA&olation of the law. There is
disposition on the part of some of the
cannerymen, by reason of the short
catch this year, to secure an extension
of the fishing season for a period of
twenty days, but it is not believed
that this effort will succeed. Public
sentiment is opposed to it, as upon the
protection accorded the salmon by law
depends the future of the fishing in
dustry. Roseburg Review: "Binger Her
mann does not propose to desert his
Oregon friends as long as a senatorial
election hovers in the near future. If
the national treasury only holds out
he will have a bigger army of special
land agents and forest rangers than
that now operating in Porto Rico
under General Miles. BiDger has,
also raised salaries, a notable instance
being that of clerks in the U. S. Land
office who have heretofore received
$1000 a year, but now with the work
diminishing are to be paid $1200."

printed on Tissue Paper,
Several months ago it occurred to
the publishers of the Yakima Herald
that it might be a erood idea to run off
a few extra copies on tissue paper oc
casionally so that a 'copy could be
snugly folded in an ordinary envelope
and thus sent to Dawson as a letter
would go. The plan has worked to a
charm and is commended to brother
publishers who would like to favor
their friends in the North. The Her
ald is in receiptof letters of thanks for
the tissue copies and is printing some
more this week which can be seen
by calling at the office.
WAGON FfiFIGHT TRAIN.
Novel Experiment to Be Tried in the In
terior. A quaint-IooKing train drew large
crowds of observers along Front street
yesterday evening about 7:30.
It consisted of a large 30-ton traction
engine hitched locomotive style to a
tender and train of heavy freight
wagons, the whole procession moving
down Front towards the depot at the
rate of four miles an hour.
The outfit is being placed on board
of flat cars today at the terminal
grounds, and will be shipped to F. M.
Chrisrcan at The Dalles, from which
point it is to take the dusty Eastern
Oregon wagon roads to Silver Lake,
Lake county, nearly 200 miles to the
south.
Mr. Chrisman is a prominent mer
chant at Silver Lake, and has hun
dreds of tons of general merchandise
hauled by freight wagons from the
railway every year, but these wasrons
have heretofore been drawn by horses.
He has decided to invest some &")000 in
the experiment of hauling by steam,
up hill and down.over soft swamp and
sinking sand between The Dalles and
his thriving town, far away in the
midst of bunchgrass prairies, where
the coyotes never before heard the
screech of the steam engine.
The tires of the traction engine are
20 inches wide and the distance be
tween the outer edges of the drive
wheels is nine feet. Mr. Chrismac
has a force of men at work widening
the grades, filling chuckholes and
strengthening bridges along the en
tire route south of The Dalles, and in
doing this he benefits everybody along
the road, as at best Eastern Oregon
highways are apt to need considerable
repairing at this time of year,
He expects to run six wagons capable
of carrying seven tons each, and these
with the tender loaded with wood and
water for a 28-mile run, will constitute
the train. Telegiam.
CMEHALIV GREAT FEAT.
Captured the Colombo Face In Three
Straight Heats.
A telegram received at Pendleton,
on Saturday evening by T. W. Ayers,
from Frank Frazier, at Columbus, O.,
conveyed the information that Che
halis had that day won the 2:05 pacing
race in three straight heats, going one
in 2:041. Of course that was con
sidered pretty good news, and it was
circulated with a great deal of en
thusiasm. The press telegrams state that Che
halis bad an easy thing. The 2.-05
pace was won by him in three straight
heats, although Bumps and Pearl On
ward both sold for more money at the
pools. The second heat, 2:041, Is the
fastest beat paced in a race this season.
The summary is as follows:
Pace, 2:05 class, purse $2,000 Che
halis won in three straight heats; time
2:07, 2:041, 2:05. Bumps was second,
Frank Bogash third.
On the some day, upon the same
track, fully 5,000 people were in at
tendance, attracted by the announce
ment that Star Pointer would attempt
to lower the track record of 2:011,
made last year by Joe Patchen in his
race with Pointer. The track was not
as fast as it ordinarily is under favor
able conditions and teams were work
ing it between heats all day. It was
hardly expected that Pointer would
lower even the track record, but when
he equalled his record of 1:591 made
last season at Glenn Falls, the crowd
went wild with enthusiasm. He went
the first quarter in 291, second in 29,
third in 291 and the fourth and last
quarter in 301. A mighty cheer went
up from the crowd, for the ' next in
stant the time, 1:591, was announced
At Portland, Me., last Saturday at
Rigby Park, the gelding Nice, son of
the $125,000 Arion, made a record of
2:091, making the fastest 4-yer-old of
the year and the first of the Arions to
get into the 2:10 class.

The New Dalles City.
No prettier or neater craft ever
plowed the waters of the Columbia
than the one that landed at the D.
& A. N. dock last evening. It was the
new Dalies City, under command of
Capt. Sherman Short, with Capt C. M
Aldin as first officer.
The boat has been thoroughly over
hauled and rebuilt, and can well be
termed the pride of the Columbia, for
she is undoubtedly the prettiest boat
on the river. A new hull has been
furnished, and her length has been in
creased-to 152 feet, while the house
has been lengthened out so as to give
a commodious dining saloon, and the
neat cabins, and seven state rooms
with 20 berths. The boat is author
ized to carry 200 passengers and with
special permit 300. Its displacements
is 446 gross and 323 net tons. The
new boiler is 25 feet long, 56 inches in
diameter, is built of five-eights inch
Bteel, and has registered resistance of
200 pounds. The boat is one of which
the D. P. &. A. N. Co. may well feel
proud.
A Dalles Boy at Santiago.
Among those who were before San
tiago during the recent attack of Gen
Sh after on the Spanish entrenchments,
was irea (jrunow, lormeriy an em
ploye of the TimesrMonntaineer. His
mother received a letter from him one
day last week, and it contained a very
vivid pen picture of the fighting
around Santiago previous to the sur
render of General Toral. Fred says
that four men were shot down in the
ranks beside him while his regiment,
the 16th U. S. Infantry, was making
ths charge on El Caney. When roll
was called that night, Fred says 140 of
bis regiment were reported killed, and
several wounded and missing-. Al
though in the terrible three days fight
ing before Santiago, Fred has escaped
unhurt, and enjoys excellent health, 1
The Dalles Is represented in the Phil
iipiaus by members of the Oregon
regiment under General Anderson's
command, and in the baptism of blood
before Santiago Fred Grunow of the
10th U. S. Infantry, no doubt did credit
to himself and added honor to the city
from which he hailed.
GEOLOGY
OF
TMc KLONDIKE.
How
the RlTcn Are
Changing the
Country.
A recent explorer in a part of Alaska
as far removed from the newly-discovered
Klondike region as Washington is
from Boston has said: "That country
is one-half made; the glaciers are slow
ly doing the work, the mountains ore
smoking and the rivers are vomiting out
quantities of quicksand." What is true
of the Cook's Inlet country of southern
Alaska is also true, in a measure, of the
valley of the Yukon. There are, how
ever, some differences. In the region of
the gold fields there are no glaciers.
Active volcanoes, too, are so far away
that it is only by the occasional reports
of Indians or prospectors who have
made a longer trip than usual that
their existence is known. And yet one
can see, through all the valley of that
great river of the north, aboundant
evidences of the unformed character of
the country.
The one thing which strikes the trav
eler, be he layman or geologist, is the
immense amount of work which, the
streams are performing. The Lewes
river, down which he takes his way to
the diggings, rises, as is known, in a
series of lakes,, the largest of which is
over 30 miles long-. The country in the
upper lake region is mountainous, with
torrents plungiug down through rough
valleys from the eternal snow.
The contrast between this water of
the lakes, which is clear, and that of the
streani emerging from them is remark
able. The latter soon becomes turbid,
being full of sediment, so that one can
not see more than a quarter of an inch
below the surface. A basinful taken
' out and allowed to stand clears itself in
time, and a thick deposit of mud is
found in the bottom of the receptacle.
The current boils and flows very rap
idly, and as the boat floats along a sound
is heard like that of frying fat. Upom
searching for the cause of this sound
it is found to iie'in the grating against
the bottom of the boat of the very fine
particles of sand carried in suspension.
From the moment of entering the Lewes
river until the end of the trip this sound
is never absent. A truly enormous
amount of material is thus borne along
by the Yukon and finally emptied into
the immense delta at its mouth in Nor
ton's sound. Leslie's Weekly.
A Survey Party.
A party of surveyors came into town
Friday nie-ht havinff been over the
Cowlitz pass and Saturday night they
left on their way to the Columbia
river which they aimed to reach at
Priest rapids. They represent them
selves as a government survey party
but close questioning revealed the fact
that they did not know the size, color
or shape of a government pay check,
They would not make any admissions
or give any information but those who
talked with them were satisfied that
their employers stationary show more
C B's and Q's than U's and S's.
The Burlington people having been
excluded from the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and O. R. N. com
bination are very anxious to secure an
outlet to tide water. At present
their western terminus is at Bozeman
but all indications point to a determin
ation to complete this system to the
Pacific Ocean.
Recently a movement was started to
build a road from Tacoma to The
Dalles which many think Is In the in
terest of the C. B. & Q. and it is said
active building will commence as soon
as the war is over. Yakima Herald.

Lively Bidding For Salmon.
It Is evident that the lower Columbia
river cannerymen are at war with
each other in a struggle for the largest
share of the fish to be obtained during
the short remainder of the fishing
season. The fishing season closes at
midnight of next Wednesday, the 10th
Friday night a telegram was received
from Ilwaco stating that George
Barker had offered 41 cents for fish
the price for the season having been 4
oents. At midnight last night Elmore
posted a notice at all fish receiving
stations and the scows in Baker's Bay
offering 5 cents for fish. Already 8,000
cases have been booked for the Col urn
bia, sailing tomorrow, on the Columbia
sailing tomorrow, on the 55-cent rate
to New York. The new rate, which
was first published by the O. R. & N,
seems to be taking the greater share
of the traffic. Sunday's Astorian.
