Wiliiams, of ABhland.has an orch ard of less than one acre of peach trees from which during the seison just closed he gathered 665 boxes of peaches yeilding him over 8200 in cash.

By November 1st Sheriff Kelly believes he will be able to have col- lected $30,000 in taxes from the time of bis taking charge of the office on July 5th. This too without having levied on a single piece of property, A pretty good exhibit of the ability of Wasco county tax payers to meet their obligatious. At 5 o'clock yesterday morning. while everybody was enjoying a quiet Sundav sleep, a fire alarm wad sound ed that called the people from their slumbers. The fire was started from an ash barrel back of Truman Butler's residence, and did no particular dam age except to burn a few boles through the stable against twhich the barrel stood. . Disease ha9 claimed another one of the brave Oregon boys who responded to the nation's call for defenders. Eliot Ordway, a bright Portland boy 19 years of -age, who gave up his studies at the Bishop Scott's academy to enter the service, died on his return from Manila a few days ago from ty-1 phoid fever. All of Oregon may well mourn his death, for he was indeed a promising youth. County Judge Sappington, of Tilla mook county, has refused to sign the assessment roll ae approved by the board of equalization. He says there is much properly in the country which is not assessed as high as it ought to be The board reported $66,495 of taxable property in Tillamook city and $1,090' 918 in thecountry out side of the city Jud?e SaDPlugton was sick when the countv board of equalizatlen was in session.

Yesterday Volney Driver, a lad only 1 about 14 years of age, made a record at 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 than occurred. This is owing to the efficiency of the peace officers. Had it not been for their vigilance no doubt much more lawlessness would have occurred, for there was an un commonly tough gang here during the entire week. will spend a month visiting, and from there will go to Los Angeles to re main during the winter. Farmers were made happy today when the warehouses announced tbat they would pay 55 cents a bushel for No. 1 wheat, and a considerable ainouat changed hands at that price, Mays & Crowe are moving their now stock into the Fitzgerald building which they have recently rebuilt, Yesterday they received a car load of Maiestic steel ranges that have been stored in the new building.

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. Will Langille, who is at Dawson, re members his friends in The Dalles oc casionally with a relic from the frozen North.

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 will be an encouragement for other good companies to come.

Jones and Senator Dufur returned last night from Portland. The Taine club was handsomely en tertained last evening by Mrs. E. M. Wilson. Mrs. M. T.

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. "Saved Her Life." Wasco County Got Medals.

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. Ed. 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. Man Behind The Gun. mi PURELY BUSINESS.

Some Wood Events on the Last Day of the Meeting. Despite the unfavorable . weather last Saturday, there was a fair atten dance at the track to watch tbe races though sporting was very light. The first race was a trot or pace, mile heats, between Ida Mc, Almolene and Alta Dell. In tbe first heat Alta Dell THE STAR OF HOPE. "I had lost all nope and gone to my father's to die," said Mrs. Moi.IB .Sjk - Evans, of Mound, I gave birth to e baby a year ago, the 5th of Tune last," she adds, "and seemed to do very well lor or 9 days, and then I began to feel very bad, my leet Deean to swell. my stomach was all wrong and I seemed to suffer with every thing that could be borne.

If von want to nse this in favor of your medicine, I am a living wit ness; to testify to it, and will, to anybody rho i wants to know further of my case." sib i 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. Educational meeting at Wao(e.

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.

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 To Care a Cold in One Day. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets.
