FIRE AT BAKER CITV.
Handsome Brides to Replace Destroyed
Builoings.
At 2:15 o'clock Saturday morning a
blaze wa9 discovered in the McCord
building on Front street Baker City,
occupied by A. C. Shinn, a hardware
merchant. In a few minutes the
building was a roaring mass of flames
and the rapid explosion - of powder
and cartridges for a time drove the
firemen away. The conflagration
could not be checked until the McCord
and two other frame buildings and
Rust's opera house were reduced to
ashes. Rust's brick cold storage suf
fered considerable damage but he
saved his brewery The buildings
were worth about $10,000, with var
ious stocks of goods valued at about
12,000. S
The total loss is $22,000. The loss
partially insured, is as follows:
The McCord building, owned by
Wm. Pollan, $2000; $1000 insurance
The hardware stock of A. C. Shinn
$9000; insurance $4000.
Rust's Opera house, $000; insurance
$2000.
Rust's cold storage, $3000, partially
deetroyed; covered by insurance.
Tetau & Linderson, a second hand
store, $1000; no insurance.
The cause of the fire from all appear
ancos was incendiarism,
TO REBUILD.
In an interview with a Democrat
man, Mr. .Henry Rust- stated that he
would certainly have erected a modern
brick structure to take place of the
pioneer Rust's opera house, one of the
buildings wiped out in yesterday morn
ing's $27,000 fire.
While Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Pollman
owners of the destroyed McCord build
ing, have not arranged the particulars,
they will also have erected aa up-to-
date business structure.
Owners of the proper y are too wise
and progressive to long leave bare the
valuable land, and, there is every as
suranoe, tne entire signt ol tne lour
destroyed, pioneer buildings will not
long hence be occupied by fine brick
edifices of the latest style of art and
usefulness.
NORTHWEST .NOTES.
David Nelson. at Pendleton, has sold
4,000 bushels of bluestem wheat to
Balfour, Guthrie & Co. for 53 cents
per bushel.
E. P. McDaniel, one of the principal
promoters of the Unibo-Cove railroad
predicts that the road will be com
pleted within three months.
W. H. Maple and George Maple, of
Pendleton, have invented an electric
shooting gallery that pays prizes on
the system of a nickel-in-the-slot
machine whenever a bull's eye is
struck. Tbey have sold their first
machine for $500. .
Cattle and horse stealing in Union
and Baker counties has been carried
on several years despite all efforts of
the officers of the law to suppress it.
Even now it is reported that an or
ganized gang of rustlers are in the
vicinity of Lookout mountain busily
engaged in stealing cattle. Prompt
measures should be taken to stamp out
tne rustler, and no leniency should be
shown the cattle or horse thief when
brought before the court of justice.
; Just as the barkeeper of Jos. Wor
ley's saloon, at Haines, Baker county,
wm turning from the front door after
locking it before retiring Friday night,
he heard a rap and answered it by
opening the door to allow a friend to
enter as ho supposed. The door
opened, he was confronted by two
masked men who, with drawn revol
vers, commanded him to hand over all
the money in the house. The mixolo
gist hud no choice in the- matter. He
went behind the counter and turned
over to the robbers all the money
available, $142.75. The bandits retired
and went up the road on foot in the
direction of daker City.
The Wheat Crop.
A comparison of the wheat yields in
the United States since 185)0 with the
yield of the present year, the spring
crop being estimated, is as follows:
Busheh
1800 3ii0.202.000
1)1 611.78il.OH0
1892 515.B49.000
1813 306.132.000
1894 4(i0.2(7,( 00
1895 467.103.000
1896 .- 427.684.000
1S97 5x0.149.000
1898 700,000,000
These estimates are verified by the
various state crop reports which are
being sent out. Tne total estimated
yield in Minnesota 'and Dakota this
year is 210,000,000 bushels, as against
143,000.000 last year. The Michigan
and Kansas crops will bo the largest
since 1892. The heavy crops in Ore
gon and Washington will more than
make up for the bad crop in California
With such a bountiful harvest at
hand and the probability of little de
crease in the European demand the
prosperity of the farmer is assured.
and when the American farmer pros
pers all industrial activities are quick
ened by the increased demand for
manufactured products.
Regarding Astoria.
The Astorian is angry with the rail
roads and vents its spleen upon the
Oregonian becouse Astoria is not
placed on the same footing as a ter
minal point as Portland, Tacoma and
Seattle. The contention of the As
torian may be just but it wt uld re
quire that the great transcontinental
lines should throw business to the new
Astoria railroad which they have no
difficulty in handling themselves.
This is a practical, business age and
no one is more aware of the fact than
railroad companies. What sense
would there ba in the O. R. & N. for
instance, delivering grain in Astoria
at the same rate as in Portland. It
would simply be taking from its own
resources to pay the extra haul to an
other railroad. Let the Astoria busi
ness men build elevators and put on
river boats to tap the great Inland Em
pire and when they have commanded
trade the railroads will be forced to
their terms. There is no use of railing
at the Oregonian about it, even if it is
customary for us, the country press, to
regard the big daily as selfkh and im
perious. Fine Sheep Imported.
This morning J. P. Van Houghten,
of the B. S. & L. Co., arrived here
with 68 head of choice merino sheep
he has been collecting in Ohio, Mich
igan, Illinois and Indiana. Mr. Van
Houghten left here five weeks ago,
and since then has been traveling over
the four states above mentioned and
has visited every prominent breeder
of merino sheep in those states. From
their flocks he selected the sheep
which he brought home with bim, and
as he is an excellent judge of sheep, it
is safe to say that this importation
comprises the best sheep ever brought
to Oregon. In the shipment are 28
bucks, part ' of which are Rombouel-
ettes and part Delaines, and 32 yearl
ing ewes, all-Delaines. The sheep are
to be taken to the B. S. & L. stock
farm at Hay creek for breeding pur
poses. Prone shipments.
The owners of the rao6t extensive or
chards in this neighborhood are pre
paring their - fruit for shipment.
Several carloads of green prunes of
the Italian and Hungarian varieties
will be ready for shipment to Eastern
markets this week. In Douglas
county, Clarence Gazley, a former
resident ana thoroughly reliable is
paying 3 cents per pound for the best
grades of dried prunes for the St.
Louis market, and 31 cents for second
grade. He is securing many carloads
and the price is 'certainly a fa'r one to
people who in the past have had the

Brink Demand for Thoroughbreds.
The Baldwin Sheep & Land Co., of
Hay Creek, has for many years been
kaown as the most extensive breeders
of thoroughbred merino sheep in
Oregon, and the reputation of their
breeds has spread into every sheep
raising section in the west. They
have shipped their bucks into Idaho,
Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas
during past years, but they leport
larger sales and greater demand this
year than ever before. Early in the
season they offered 1,500 thoroughbred
bucks for sale, and now all have been
disposed of. A representative of the
company informs the Times-Mountain
eer that they could have sold 1,000
more had they had them to dispose of,
the demand having been so erreat.
The mystery of woman
hood is full of deej
unanswerable enigmas
Why should women tx
compelled to suffer aim
ply because they are wo
men ? Why is it that th
source of their highest joys is at the same
time the cause of their greatest wretched
ness? The very attributes which make it
possible for women to be nappy wives ana
mothers also render tnem name to tne al
most ohvsical misery and pain.
The sufferings of body and mind caused
bv some weakness of the distinctly feminine
organs are so almost universal among wo
men that the question might well be asked:
Is this Nature s punishment tor the crime
of beinff a woman f"

No woman ought to endure such troubles
There is no need of it. Dr. Pierce's Favor

cure for feminine weakness and disease.
It gives health and strength to the spe

functional regularity, and restores the nor

Nature intended.
It is the only medicine of its kind in

makes baby's coming safe and compara

Ed LemiBoQ Writes a Letter Home From
Cavite.
A letter has been received fiora Ed.
Lemison,' one of the Times-Mountaineer
printers who responded to the
first call for volunteers, and is at pres
ent with Co. L Second Oregon volun
teers, at Manila. The letter Dears date
of July 18, and the following quota
tions are made from it:
"Saturday evening about 4 30 a war
ship of Dewey's fleet brought the
China into the harbor. Uer appear
ance caused quite an excitement in
camp, for the boys all ran the guard
lines, and went over on the wall so
that they could see. Most of the
crowd waited till dark, expecting more
of the expedition. On Sunday morn
ing about 8:30 the firing of a salute in
the harbor caused another stampede
in camp. We soon saw three more of
the transports and a warship escort
approaching. So the second expedit
ion arrived, and we were very glad to
see them. The sick were taken on
shore and placed in a camp near our
cainn. Four privates, a captain and a
lieutenant died on the wuy over.
About noon the mail arrived and was
distributed. It caused much joy in
camp. A postofiice was established on
the China, and our mail will be carried
for two cents hereafter.
"Sunday evening about dark a
Japanese warship and Dewey's dis
patch boat arrived and we learned of
the American victory at Santiago.
"The water here is very bad. While
it rained we used rain water, that had
to be boiled before it was used, but as
it has not rained for some time, our
supply U out, and we are forced to use
water from wells that seeps in through
the ground from the bay, and tastes
like something dead had been thrown
into it.
"There are seven American war
ships, seven transports and eight prizes
here at present. The Australia that
brought us over from San Francisco,
sails tomorrow for home.
'Dave Bonner and James Butts, of
our company, who were left in San
Francisco on account of sickness, came
over with the second expedition, and
arrived today at our company quarters.
They seem fat and hearty, and we
were all glad to see them."
In his letter, Mr. Lemison sent a
drawing of Cavite and Manila bay, on
which is marked all points of interest,
the camp of the American troops, the
fortifications and the location of the
sunken Spanish vessels.
Tomato raising- has become an in
dustry of no small importance with
Wasco county gardners, and tons of
them are shipped out each year. Last
evening Louis A. Sando. sold eighty
boxes of them for shipment to Port
land, and today had forty boxes for sale.
N. Whealdon, armed with a fishing
rod and insurance policy, boarded the
boat just as it left the dock this morn
ing, and signified his intention of
catching all the salmon in White Sal
mo a river. He will probably write up
some insurance while enjoying bis
piscatorial sports.
F. M. Jackson, of Hood River, was
in the city today, . and returned home
on the afternoon train. Mr. Jackson
says the Hood River apple crop so far
this season is better than common,
being quite free from moth, and sum
mer apples hav; commanded quite a
good price.
Today wheat is worth 50 cents a
j bushel in The Dalles. Whether it
will go higher is difficult to tell, but
the indications are that it will. Ai;
occasional load of new wheat comes
into the warehouses, but the rush of
wheat hauling will not begin for two
or three weeks.
All arrangements have been made
for holding a district fair here begin
ning on October 18th and continuing
five- days, but to make it a success
there must be a racing program, and
it will be necessary to raise pu -ses
amounting to $700 or $800. This
amount will have to be raised by pub
lic subscription.
Judge Bennett has begun prepara
tions for buildiog a residence on his
property on Fourth street, near the
Mill creek bridge. It will be a tv 0
story building 35x54 feet, with a st 1 e
basement, and when completed wil le
one of the handsome residences of tl e
city. John Kocber has the com act
for the foundation and basement, aid
has begun construction work.
No doubt there are people in the
city who gathered up household goods,
clothing, books and papers during the
night of the fire and are holding them
for the owners to call and identify, but
do not know whom to apply to. If
such parties will leave a list of articles
they have, at this office, the list will be
published free of charge, and the
rightful owners can thereby get their
property.
There has been much history made
this year, and the people who could
not go to the front acd help make it.
or see it made, can see how it happen
ed by attending the Oregon Industrial
Exposition Sept. 22 to Oct. 22, for
there it is proposed to have wonderful
topographical maps of the various
battles and explanations of how they
were fought out. This will be a very
valuable and instructive feature.
Messrs. Carry Ballard, N. J. Sinno t
and Victor Schmidt are home from the
Astoria Reeetta. They had a splen
did time in the city by the sea, but as
bowlers, they come home with a wreath
of willows, having lost their laurels in
the contest at Astoria. The Dalles ,
oowlers were all out of practice, hence
none of them played their accustomed
game, wnen at tnemseives iney raano
better scores than were made at As
toria.
A correspondent to the Prineville
Review, in pleading for a bridge across
Crooked river at a certain point, says
the banks of the river are composed of
quicksilver, hence are dangerous to
travel An ordinary observer would
judge they would be, for quick silver
is so volitile that people traveling over
it are liable to be salivated during
heated spells. But if it is true that
the banks of the river are composed of
quicksilver, the resid3nts of that sec
tion ought to be making fortunes.
gathering it up and putting it on the
market. The correspondent probably
meant quicksand.
