duck hunting that would be consider
ed a good score for the most expert
nimrod in these parts. In about two
hours hunting on the river he bag'
ged 12 fine mallard ducks, bringing five
down at one shot. Volney is an expert
with a shotgun and with a little more
practice will be the best wing shot
in the county.
Considering the number of thugs
and robbers that were in the city dur
ing fair week, The Dalles escaped well
with no more hold ups and robberies

A 6FLEKOI1) DAY'S RACING.
Record
The brick made by J. H. Blakeney
at his brick yard, on the hill, when
compared with the brick received
here from Portland, make a very
good showing. They are more
regular in size and are fully as well
burned as any imported brick, which
is indisputable evidence that as good
an article can be produced at home as
that which is imported.
This morning A. V. Underwood pre'
sented this office with a plant of the
famous Magoon strawberry which he
toon up yesterday from the patch of
the originator, W. J. Magoon, in
Portland. The plant is full of large
berries which shows that this new
Oregon berry is a twice fruiting or
ever-bearing variety, as well as the
finest and most prolific producer in
existence.

those parts. Recently he killed eight
moose and one bear.
Saturday night will be the opening
of the theater season at the Vogt opera
house, when the "Air Ship" company
will appear. This is one of the best
stock companies now traveling on the
coast, and ifitis-well patronized i

them.

A Worthy Entertainment.
The nrst entertainment to be given
by Samuel E. Wells consisting of
Shakespeie's "Merchant of Venice"
to be followed by hilarious and side
splitting humorous sketches, was post
poned from last evening until tonight.
Tbe sale of the course ticket has been
abandoned entirely and the general
price of admission to each of the four
entertainments has been reduced to
the nominal sum of 25 cents.
The change has been judiciously
made in order to give our citizens the
opportunity for hearing something
which in all probability they are not
likely to bear again. Mr. Wells as a
tragedian is fully the - equal - of six
Henry lrvings and is nonsurpassed as
a light comedy entertainer.
His work not only appeals strongly
to the cultivated and educated class,
but Mr. Wells unusual powers as a
commedian makes him heartily enjoy'
ed by every body. He comes" endorsed
by Chauncy M. Depew. He has given
these elegant entertainments before
immense and enthusiastic audiences
in-the east and is unusually spoken of
by the press and general public as the
most enjoyable artist in his line in
this country.
Those who miss the entertainment
tonight are going to miss the greatest
treat ol tbe season.
Remember that the course picket has
been abandoned and 25 cents admits
you to each of tbe entertainments.
But be sure and come tonight.

Del Norte Breaks tbe World's
Utner Good Events.
Yesterday there was witnessed on
the track some of the finest trials of
speed ever seen on any track in the
Northwest, and one event that the
world has never before seen, Del
Norte having paced a half mile in less
time than was ever done on a half mile
track in the world, having gone
around the circle in 1:021-5. It was
ladie's day at the track, and it seemed
tnat every lady in town and many from
the country liad taken advantage of
the occasion for enjoying a holiday,
for iho grand stand was packed and
all available standing room near the
outcome was occupied.
The day was an ideal one. just warm
enough te be comfortable, the track
was in splendid shapo, and the horses
as they-came out looked to be in per
fect form, so everybody anticipated
that the sport would be perfect.
The first event was the special
roadster race that was called at 1 :30,
and horses owned and driven by Harry
Fowler, W. H. Hobson., C. F. Steph
ens, A. S.MacAllisterand Mell Murchie
were started. The first heat Mac
Allister's horse went lame and Mur
chle's failed to come up to expecta
tions and did not start in the second
Fowler took both heats with Hobson
second and Stephens third. It was a
prettv race and called forth a rousing
applause from the spectators.
The second event was a free for all
pace and trot mile heats, two In three.
The entries were Helen J.. Altus, Ben
Bolt aud Deceiver, The latter was the
favorite in pool selling, and the "tal
ent" proved to be judging aright.
The horses were given a pretty start,
and went away from the poll like the
wind, all but Helen J. keeping their
positions and fought nobly twice
around the track, but the brown mare
broke badly and barely sayed her dis
tance. They came under the wire,
Deceiver in the lead, Ben Bolt second,
Altus third; time 2:22$. In the second
heat Deceiver took the lead and held
it to the finish, Altus second, Ben
Bolt third; time, 2:22i.
At the close of this pace the great
Del Nortb was brought on the track to
warm up, and when the pretty black j
was driven around by Mr. Barrows,
his owner, the crowd gave him a hear
ty applause, which appeared to be ap
preciated by the intelligent animal.
When Del Norte had finished warm
ing, up the six runners in the-mile dash
were called out. They were New
Moon, Barnato, Alicia, Jim Bozeman
Begonia and McPryor. LiUle time
was required in getting them started,
and less time was needed for them to
go twice around the track. Tney
came under the wire in 1:46 with Jim
Bozeman in the lead, Alicia second
gnd New Moon third.
Then.came the event of the day.
Del Norte was brought on the track,
looking like a picture and took a
position about a hundred feet up the
stretch from the wire beside of another
black ridden by Ed Mosier his trainer.
To see a horse come on the track
without rider or driver was something
out side the ordinary, but to see him
go was the greatest wonder of all. He
took a good look at tbe 'situation and
when given the word to start, came
tearing down the track as if conscious
that he would perform a feat never be
fore seen. Around the first turn he
went, Mosier urging the runner all
the way, and by the time he reached
the back stretch, people were spell
bound with admiration. He climbed
the hill on the last turn, a rise of nine
feet in about 200, with out blacking
his speed, and when he entered tbe
home stretch was moving like
machine. He passed under the wire
at a terrible gait, Mosier urging his
runner all tbe time to keep beside the
pacer. Passing under the wire he
Slowed up, turned and came back
the stand to be given permission
retire irom tne track. When it was
acnouueed that Del Norte had gone
in 1:02, beating the worlds record on
a half-mile track, the crowd fairly
wehtwild with excitement.!
In the half mile dash the entries
were Dutch Mollie, Uncle Tom, Dutch
Harry N. and Joe Cotton. Consider
able difficulty was experienced i
getting the horses started, and when
they were finally sent away, Joe Cot
ton was left standing still, but his
rider headed him for the other four,
and he made a very good run after all
keeping in sight of the other four,
The race was won by.Harry N., Dutci
second, Dutch Mollie third; time
51.
The day's racing was concluded with
a match trot, mile heats, between
horses owned by Louie Comini and
A. B. Estebenet. The first heat was
taken by Estebenet and tbe second by
Comini. It being almost dark the
race was postponed until Saturday.
lead out, with Almolene second and
Ida Mc following some distance be
hind. When they passed under the
wire at the end of the first half mile
Almolene and Alta were together, but
on making the second circuit Alta Dell
went to the front winning the race and
Ida Mc. making a good second. Tbe
time was 2:32. Alta Dell took the
lead from the start in the second heat
and held it to tbe finish, winning the
race in 2:30, Ida Mc making a good
second.
A trial was made to finish the
match trot between Estebennet and
Comini, two heats of which were
trotted Friday evening, but tbe judges
discovered some bad work on the part
of Mr. Estebennet in driving the
final heat, and the race was declared
off.
In the 4i furlong dash the entries
were Twister, Senator Wilson, Be
gonia V., Stranger and Little T. G.
At the start Twister took the lead,
but was soon passed by the favorite.
Little T. G., who won easily, with
Senator Wilson second and Begonia
third; time, 59.
The crowning feature of the day was
the exhibit eiven bv Del Norte. He
made a fine appearance, butconditions
were not favorable for record breaking,
the atmosphere being cold and damp,
hence he was not crowded to his full
speed, though he paced the half .mile
in 1:05, which was exceptionally good
time considering tbe day.
The closing race was a 5i furlongs
dash, in which- Midas. None Such,
Nevoso, Jim Brownell and Joe Cotton
were entered. None such was the
winner, and Joe Cotton came out
second.
After this race was run the horse
men and sports collected their be
longings together and departed for
other fields, all satisfied with the re.
suits, and decla.rigbey had had five
days of fine sport at The Dalles.

Look to Headquarters.
Times-Moustaineer:
Noticing your article in last week's
issue in regard to shipping goods at
tbe Cascade Locks, I would like to say
a few words in the matter.
Mr. Brown, the engineer in charge,
is merely acting under instruc
tions from Major Fiske, and where
tbe latter got his orders from I do
not know, but this I do know, he
never received them from Washington.
It is simply a specimen of that spirit
of militaryism tbat controls tne outfit
emerging yearly from that medieval
institution known as West Point.
It always looked to me as if every
move on the part of the so-called medi
evalist was made in favor of the rail
road company. Everything acting as
a binderance to the steamboat com
pany of course favors the railroad.
A long acquaintance with parties give
me right to judge. I bave no prejudice
against the railroad whatever, and
would treat them on a jury as I would
an individual give them justice.
The peopie of The Dalles should go
for headquarters, not for the one be
low, but for the one on high; talk to
the father, not to bis children.
Such fellows should be taught a les
son. As a fit example of the medieval
bantling I refer you to the "flip" lieu
tenant in "Si Klegg". See National
Tribune.

U. There were six doctors treating me
when I commenced taking your medicine.
I had lost all hone and crone to mv father's
to die. I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and his 'Fa

worth living again."
I weigh more than I have weierhed for
ten years. Mv friends sav that I look better
than they ever saw me. The first two bot

I bad taken. My stomach has never hurt
me since. I can eat anything I want and as
much as I want. If von want to nse this in
favor of your medicine, I am a living wit

rho i wants to know further of my case."

First Attraction of tbe Season.
"The Air Ship," called a "spectacu
lar musical farce comedy," of which
J. M. Gaites is the author, will, anchor
at the Vogt Opera House Saturday
bight. If the pieae Is as unique on the
stage as the title, it will no doubt go
with velocity and furnish merriment
to theatre-goers. Its 'sole object is to
amuse. Incidentally, some new scenic
featuaes are introduced, such as Klon
dike in winter, flight of an air ship,
loaded with members of the company,
across the stage. The inventor, an
eccentric character, takes a party of
pretty girls to that region, and brings
them back with millions of gold nug
gets and husbands. Tbe piece con
tains three acts, and special scenery
painted by J. H. Young, of New York,
is provided for each. In this respect,
it will prove one of the best attractions
of its kind ever offered. To make the
piece go a company of unusual excel
lence appears. Several specialty acts
are presented. Among the members
of tho company are Marie Stuart,
Lottie Burke, Maryland Tyson, Flor
ence Dearborn, Cute McDonald, Ray
mond Finley, Ben Welsh, Robert Miles
Fred Rashland and Jack Cunningham.
with a sort of wild feeling of revenge,
he becomes a changed being and
rushes into battle, perfectly uncon
scious of surrounding dangers and
thirsting for the blood of those with
whom he is combatting. As to the
treatment he received at Santiago and
while in Cuba, Mr. Grunow has little
to say. It was no picnic excursion, he
says, and the men in the regular
army did not exDect the comforts they
enjoyed while doing garrison duty,
therefore tbey were not disappointed
with either the treatment they re
ceived in Cuba, or the provisions with
which they were supplied.
Mr. Grunow was taken sick on July
30th and bas been in the hospital until
a short time since, Vhen he was given
a furlough for thirty days. At present
his company is stationed at Huntsville ,
Alabama, and he will join the com
mand about the 17th of next mouth.

Mr. H. H. Dufur,
Forest Supervisor.
I have been acting as guide to the
summit of Mount Hood and making
the ascent a number of times, each
year during tbe months of July and
August since 1883, and from observa
tions so taken, I am of the opinion
there has been less fire in the Cascade
Forest Reserve, during the present
year than during any time since the
above date. Having made twenty-one
ascents since the 2d of July last, I
find that only three times bas the
smoke been too dense to obstruct a
clear view of Mount Shasta, some 300
miles distant, and twice out of the
three times xhe obstruction was caused
by smoke from nres not on the forest
reserve. I therefore conclude, tbat
the patroiing of tbe reserve has been of
great benefit and has been the means
of suppressing fires and preventing
the destruction' of valuable timber.
am, however, of the opinion that the
patrol should be earlier on the ground,
as one fire occurred on July 2d, be
fore tbe rangers were sent in.
Yours very respectfully,
O. C. Yocum,
Salem, Ore.

BBCK FROM THE WAR.
Fred Grunow Is Here Visiting Bis Family
. and Friends. '
Last evening Fred Grunow arrived
home . frm SaDtiago to ' visit his
mother and brothers, he being on, a
furlough of 30 days from his company,
About a year ago Fred enlisted at
Portland, and was stationed with Co. A,
Sixteenth infantry, at Boise. When
war with Spain was declared his com
pany was one of the first ordered to
Cuba. He was in the engagement be
fore Santiago, od July 1st, 2d and 3d,
and was in tbe thickest of the fight,
but escaped without a scratch, thongb
four of bis company were killed aud
ten wounded.
Mr. Grunow says the first experience
under fire is something unexplaioabie.
At first one experiences a feeling of
fright, but when he sees his comrades
falling about him, and sees their life
blood ebbing away, fright leaves him
od he is suddenly seized with a desire
for revenge. He is oblivious to per
sonal danger, and his only desire is to
kill the ones who have inflicted injury
upoa those around him. Maddened
