ine-will be 20 cents: refreshments 10

Last night Carl Ostland was arrested
- at the merry-go-round for fighting. It
." appears that some one is giving liquor
to boys of hi age, and this is the cause
of his trouble. The party who gave
. him and other ' youths intoxicants
' should be punished.
An autODSv held upon the remains
of the late Henson McCoy, who died
; at Dufur last Wednesday disclosed the
cause of his death to have been a can

Today Howard & Stearns,' Prine-
Ville shipped a train load of about
500 head, of cows "and ' calves to
Nebraska. r The . range in Crook
county is so short this fall that Messrs.

was safer to send their cattle east than
keep them on the range. They will
ship about 1500 head during the next
four weeks.
i;. Last night A. N. Varney, assisted
by Mr. Ferguson, was attempting to
remove a heavy box from the upper to
the lower floor of his dwelling, when

from Wasco yesterday, and says the
little shock of wheat we have in The
Dalles some 250,000 bushels is noth
ing compared wish the wheat there is

their wheat here for market, from 10

or less merchandise here and bus
iness men are getting yood returns for
the money they contributei to free
ferriage.
Another fatal accident from the
occupant of a dog cart being thrown
to the ground is recorded. This em
phasized the oft repeated arguments
that such vehicles are most dangerous.
Whenever an accident occurrs the
occupant having no way to free him
self is usually seriously hurt. Their
use in this country of rouh and hilly
roads should be prevented.

tian church held laBt evening, Kev.

The broom factory recently started
here in the building formerly occu

there can be no plowing done this fall.

far, and may yet get into trouble over
their hilarity.
There is one thing about the people
of The Dalles that is to be greatly ad

evening. We may be called moss
backs and slow pokes, but we jvill
never be accused of being unpatriotic

prominence than the rest of the state

find little sympathy in the country.
The first number of thu Times, which
was published Saturday evening, gave
a good telegraphic report, and was
otherwise quite a creditable number.

Ghosts" and 'fioullns."
The Baldwin opera-house was none
too large to accomodate the large
crowd that assembled Monday evening
to enjoy the halloween party given by
the young ladies of the Congregation
al church. The immense building was
crowded to the yery doors, and those
who cou'd not find seats stood up,
One pleasing feature about the enter
tainment was tbat the gnosis ap
peared promptly on time.- About
doz)n young ladies clad in costumes
that reminded the observer of habi
tants of the grave, appeared upon the
stage and executed a ghost march
tbat was very attractive. Besides,
there was a male quartett, and
splendid guitar trio by the Messers,
Parkins and Reese. The closing aum
ber was a selection by tbe burnt cork
artists Hampshire and Clarke. After
the program an elegant lunch was
served by the ladles, that was well ap
preciated by all.

Another Imk Cart Accident.
Monday aiternoon an accident oc
curred on Ninth street that might
have proven very serious, though for
tunately the parties escaped with their
lives. ' Julius Pankonin with his wife
and two small children were riding in
a dog cart, driving a young horse
when in passing over a rough place.
Mr. Pankonin dropped one of the
lines. Mrs. Pankonin seized the
other line and caused the horse to
turn suddenly, throwing Mr. Pankonin
and one of the children out of the
cart. The horse started to run and
went some distance before Mrs. Pank
onin and the other child were thrown
out. la the lau they were quite sev
erely bruised, several veins in one of
the lady's limbs being ruptured, and
she and the child were seriously
bruised about the body. The horse
kept on until free from the cart
which was a total wreck.

. . Instantly Killed.
About 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon

Hood River from her home about six
miles south of the town,' and when
passing down the hill near the school
house ber horse became frightened and
broxe some of the harness so tbat
Mrs. Gibson was thrown violently
from the cart to the ground and her
neck was broken. Death occurred be
fore assistance could arrive.
Mrs. Gibson was 45 or 50 years of
age, and was well known in The
Dalles, her husband having been a
mechanic in the O. H. & N. shops for
a number of years. Fore some time
past they have resided on their farm
in Hood River valley, where they
were engaged in fruit raising.
Kather Discourag-lnK
It appears to be tbe opinion of wheat
authorities that in general there is not
so much to encourage holders from tbe
situation ot growing crops as a week
or two ago. Drouths have been
broker: and seeding allowed to proceed
in good shape. Tbe world's crop has
been fixed variously from 2,607,000,000
bushels by Broomhail. 2.620,000,000 by
Becrhbohm and 2,640,000,000 by Dorn
buscb, while - Europeau' importing
countries present a shortage 43,000,
000 quarters to supply which the
United States and Canada will alone
afford 37,000,000 quarters, with India,
Australia, Russia and Argentine s'Jll
to be counted upon, though there is a
probability of this margin being some
what larger, in view of the usual an
nual increase of 1 per cent in consump
tion and expansion of Oriental de
mands for American bread6tuffs. No
activlltv Is noticeable in tbe market
here. Wheat buyers are apparently at
sea regarding future prices and when
asked as to the market can only say
"its a little off and nothing doing.
Indications are not favorable for a
very great advauce in prices.
Telephone to Prinevllle.
Mr. Nester, manager for the Oregon
Telephone & Telegraph Co., is perfect
ing arrangements for building a tele
phone line from here to Prinevllle,
and has met with such encouragement
tbat he Is confident now that It will be
an assured fact. He expects to begin
operations within ten or twelve days
on the line.
It will connect with Dufur, Kingsley,
Tygh Valley, Shearer's Bridge,- An
telope and Hay Creek, and terminate
atPriueville. It will be constructed
of copper wire and will coat about $30,-
