months, the" D. P. .&' A.' N. Co., are
not discouraged, but will keep, right
along giving a first, class service on
the river. -V.. . . -
It is impossible as yet to determine
the exct. damage r done the Hattie
Bell by going on the 'rocks below the
locks yesterday, though it is thought
her hall is badly injured, and probab
ly the. machinery and honse is all that
can be Saved.
Mr.s" M. J... McCormack. and son
' Buyd; of- Plesan't Ridge,-, were in the
city today and made a jjlesaut call at

the tall and winter at the residence of
her brother Truman. During the past

Portland . butchers predict a meat
famine iu Oregon this" winter.;' Nearly';
all the steers and wethers have been1
and -say they enjoyed -the experience
of a ship wreck very much. The
officers of the boat gave them every
attention .possible, taking them off
the boat safely, and providing them
conveyance to The Dalles by rail.
They were determined to have a boat
ride on the Columbia, and will re
turn to Portland on the Flyer.
Today A. S. MacAlllster and J. O.
Mat k have canvassed the town solicit
ing subscriptions for purses to be of
fered, foe the speed.. pragram at the
coming fair. They have met with ex
cellent success, the business men hav
ing subscribed, liberally, which in
sures good pnrses being had. "It is ex
pected the purses this fall will attract
some of the' best racers on the coast.
The other features of the fair will also
be more attractive this fall than for
merly. . -: y :: . ' .
." . It was a. mistake ' yesterday stating
that Capt. Hosfford was at the wheel
when the Battie Bell went ashore.
Capt.' McNulty had charge of the boat
when the accident occured", and as he
is one of the most experienced steam
boat masters on the river it is certain
the- accident could not have been
avoided. It appears that there was a
heavy wind blowing and the boat not
powerful enough to withstand both
the current and the wind, was carried
onto the reef that projects just below
the efdyon the Oregon side.
The big harvest festival parade with
which the Spokane fruit fair will open
this year on the 4th of next month will
be something' very grand. It will be
at least one and a half miles long. It
will not be a lot of advertising floats,
either. There will be nothing of the
kind. The intention will be to make
something ' beautiful. Every float
for poods. Prices for . eoods do . not
change, and a "considerable number of
the mills will shortly shut down unless
the situation improves."
This forenoon the D. P. & A. N.'Co.
gave about 100 Dalles citizens a ride on
their new boat the Flyer, from the
warf to Crate's point and return. The
run of eight . miles was made in 25
minutes, with 140 pounds of steam, and
the propeller making only 150 revolut
ions to the minutes. When working
at its full capacity the boilers are sup-
Dosed to carrv 250 pounds of steam
and the propeller to 'make 350 rev
olutions. This is more than double
the speed developtd this morning.
The boat runs very smoothly there
being- but little iar. and there is no
more rocking than is experienced on
the larger boats. Those who made
the trip this morning all pronounce
the Flyer a perfect success.
must be first class or it will not be per
mitted to enter the procession.1 All,
too, will be in keeping with thn occa
sion of an harvest festival celebration.
There will be the sweet pea float, and
the strawberry float,and the raspberry
float, and the calla lily float, and so
on, all uniting to make a harmonious
whole hich will be extremely fine.

One day last week Joe Murphy, a
Clock county sheep man, died very
suddenly at bis camp near Diamond
lake in' the- Cascade :. mountains. He
had just eaten his breakfast and was
sitting by the fire ..smoking, when he

effects of heart disease. He was in an
inaccessable 'place and the . remains
bad to be buried 'in the mountains
where he died. . .

pounds for the same week-last year,
and 8,812,000 pounds for the same week

prices demanded at the West cannot
be maintained, and until wool sells at

No Handsomer Boat Ever Flowed the
Water of the Colombia).
The D. P. & A. N. Cd's new steamer,
Inland Flyer, which arrived here at
2:30 this afternoon, is beyond question
one of the prettiest and most con
veniently arranged passenger boats
ever built. When'she landed at the
Regulator dock with Capt. Charles M.
Aiden at -the helm, she was. a perfect
picture of neatness.and wa9 greeted by
some 200 people. She presents every
annearance of DOSSessinfiT speed that
cannot well be. surpassed. While on
her trial trip she did not develop
much speed, owing to her machinery
being new and not working -to perfec
tion, yet when once in goed working
order, the little craft will certainly
:ut the water at the rate of from 25 to
30 miles an hour. - -
In outward appearance there-seems
to be no place on the boat where sbi
builders could have improved. The
decks are commodious and the upper
promenade deck is protected by a net
ting, making it a most convenient and
comfortable place for' passengers in
fair weather. The lower cabin aft, or
ladies' saloon, is fitted as elegantly as
possible, being supplied with up
holstered furniture, and every con
venience lor the comfort oi passen
gers has been supplied, while the front
cabin, intended for gentlemen, is com
fortably seated and presents a most
inviting appearance. On the upper
deck are the pilot house and two cab
ins, one intended for the buffet, and
the other for an observation station.
The latter when completed will be
furnished with seats similar to those
of a Pullman coach and may be con
verted :nto four berths. Throughout,
the little vessel is perfect, and if it
deyelops the speed expected will be a
most popular boat with the traveling
public.
The Flyer is 110 feet long. 18 feet
beam and 7 feet bold. Her boiler is
capable of carrying 250 pounds of
steam, and her engines are sufficiently
powerful to drive her at an enormous
speed, even against the swift current of
the Columbia.
The D. P. & A. N. Co. are certainly
to be complimented for their enter
prise in building this fine boat, which
is intended to bring The Dalles within
a six-hour steamboat service with
Portland.

A VOICE fKUH CROOK.
Representative n illiamson Says Crook
Cbauty has Little to Ask of the
Legislature.
Hon. J. M. Williamson, representa
tive elect from Crook county,' was in
the city yesterday, and gave the Times-
Mountaineet reporter a few moments
of his time before leaving for Portland.
When asked what legislation Crook
county would ask, he said: "Out in ,
Crook the people are not asking for
anything in particular. At the special
session I might say the first thing they
want is for the legislature to organize;
then they want us to elect a senator
who is "all wool and a yard wide."
Then they would like to have the state
sack opened up suffiicient to the
needs of the past two years. After
this they want the legislature to ad
journ and go home."
"As to county division so far as I
am advised, most of the people do not
care. Most of the people are -opposed
to creating the new county of Sutton, I
but there are a few who want it. How
ever, Ixhink the legislature should be
governed in this matter by the will of
the majority."
.Concerning the Cascade forest re
serve, he said ' Crook' county 'stock
men asked permission to pasture the
reserve Tinder liberal regulations.
Mr. Williamson was asked whom be
favored for United States senator, and
to this question replied: I have no
particular choice. Anybody who will
faithfully represent, the state will do
for me." "
A Ghastly Find.
Wapinitia, Or. Sept. 13 1898.
ED. TlMSS-fllOUKTAINKKB:
I wish to call the attention of the
coroner and the public in . general to
the fact that a few days ao a party of
our citizens were' camping on Salmon
river, near the road from here to the
summit of the Cascade mountains,
when by chance one of the party, : Mr.
J. W. Brown, discovered between two
log some " bones protruding through
the bark, that had evidently laid :over
it, aod on examination found it to be
a siceieton, intact' except the ' head,
which was gone. The skeleton was a
large one and must have been a man.
No appearance" of clothing was seen.
The Iar that the head was gone'' and'
no clothtug to be ' seen looks like a
murder had been committed,' appar
ently one or two years ago, and per
baps if investigated would "clear up a
mystery of some missing one.

Col. Enos Corrects Home Erroneous state
ments.
Recently the Oregonian has been
giving some "history" concerning the
acquisition of territory by the United
States, in which It has made some
ilrl statements for which Col. E. W
Euos called it down in. the following
article:
Goldendale. Wash,, Sept. 2. (To
the edi'or.) In your editorial of ' Au
gust 5 you say that, "In our war with
Mtxico we took' California and New
Mexico in place of money," leading
your readers to bi-leive that the United
States charged Mexico for the nearly
two year's time it took to whip her.
In your editorial of August 15, on the
Mexican war you say we paid Mexico
$lf,000,000 for the territory we receiv
ed, 526,078 square miles,- as a "consolo
tion purse," thus admitting-that your
fir. t statement in your issue of August
5 was incorrect. You intimate in this
last-mentioned editorial that we knew
that Califor jia was a gold producing
country before we got it. If this is
true, why did the Californians erect
a monument to Marshall as the man
who first discovered gold in the state,
more than T a year after if became
American territory? You also say that
Great Britain would have acquired
this territory if we had not. The ab
surdity of this statement is apDareni.
In 1823 James Monroe, a democratic
president, promulgated the Monroe
doctrine, and Great Britain, at that
acquisced in it. Great Britain never
questioned this doctrine until 1895,
when she undertook to make a land
grab for Venezuela. A democratic
president, Grover Cleveland, twisted
the lion's tail until he created a finan
cial panic in Wall street, and caused
Great Britain to submit her claims to
arbitration. In view of this history,
why talk about Great Britian land
grabbing on this continent when we
had a democratic president like James
K. Polk, who prosecuted the Mexican
war?
The war with Mexico grew ' out of
the boundary dispute betweeu . the re
public of Texas and Mexico. Texas
claimed to the Rio Grande river, ' and
her claims covered a large portion of
the territory we received from Mexico
and Texas on the settlement after the
war. By the treaty of annexation, the
United States agreed to settle the
boundary dispute with Mexico and
Texas was to hold all of the territory
as her own, as fixed by the settlement.
On the settlement after the war we
paid Mexico and Texas 925,.000,000 for
the territory we received from both
parties, $15,000,000 going to Mexico
and $10,000,000 to the state of Texas,

Stop AnA Consider.
You need a day's recreation after
your summer's work; your constitution
demands it. You need recreation 'for
both mind and body, and. that is why
you should take a day off to see
Leondor. Bros' big combined show,
here in The Dalles on the afternoon
and evening of the 19th. One of the
features is the death defying jump of
Prof. Miller from the clouds. He is
one of the most daring aerofaaatsof the
age, and .his balloon ascension and
parachute jump is the wonder of all,
and bis .fall of thousands of feet
through the air, and his alighting
safely on the ground is a marvel. This
is only one of the attractive features,
as inside the tent will be more to
wonder at than the balloon ascension.
It affords amusement for the old as
well as the young, and should not be
missed by anybody.
Harvest Festival.
The annual harvest festival of the
Salvation Army will commence at the
barracks next Saturday, when a rous
ing time is expected. ' Every one is in
vited to attend, and take with them
some kind of produce, such . as fruit,'
vegetables,poultry, dry goods, groceries
etc. These will be. sold at auction and
the proceeds will eo to the beneifit of
rescnejbomes, social depots, children's
homes and different branches of Sal-
uation Army work. The Salvation
Army is doing a good work in dis
tributing funds for such charitable ob
jdcts as those above mentioned and is
deserving pf assistance.

Havana, Sept. 15. The predomi
nant feature of the situation is the
feverish and widespread agitation of
the Cubans in favor of the absolute in
dependence of the island at all costs
Manifestoes are circulated Inviting tie
co-operation of Spanish merchants to
this end, and pointing out that cither
annexation or an American protector
ate would mean death to all trade
with Spain in a couple of years.
General Maximo Gomez, who. only
a fortnight ago, gave expression to
extremely moderate views, counseling
harmony and patience, now expresses
himself as strongly in favor of absolute
independence or nothing. He says
the Spanish element cannot afford to
delay uniting with the Cubans upon a
"necessary basis for the establishment
of conditions that will forbid and pre
vent the United States grabbing and
taking easy advantage of the treasure
which both the Spaniards and Cubans
have fought for at an expense of
rivers of blood on each side." ' -
General Gomez says, if reports
speak truly, that those who fear in
dependence belong to the same family
of cowardly curs who fled from Havana
at the first rumor of bombardment.
These, be declares, are, however, a
minority, and to quote him further,
"almost the entire Spanish population
remainp, protecting their homes and
defying the dangers of war, and will
remain to unite their efforts with those
of the Cuban party working together
with the Cubans for t-he development
of the island and the return of pros
perity."
School opened in this magnificent new structure last Monday, and the
enrollment of jjnpils in the high school department for the first week bas
been 79. All Ax of the class rooms in the building are occupied, several
of the grammar grade departments being located in the new building.
The total enrollment in the schools at present is 661.

leard the brush move near ; him and
aw a dark object through . the dense
ioliage. He thought the object was . a
ibear, and without waiting; to be con-
-vinced what it was fired. -Unfortunat-
uy the supposed bear proved to be a
woman who was passing' through the
Ibrush, and her screams immeadlately
after the discbarge of the gun brought
it he fool hunter to his senses. . ('
The entire charge' of shot 'took
effect in the lady's back and inflicted a
-wound that" will probably ' prove fatal.
Only a slight report of the accident
could be had here, and it was impos
sible to get the name of the lady in-
; jured or the man who did the shooting.
