L1FK AT MANILA.
An Interesting Letter From One of tbe
Oregon Boys in the Phlllrpines.
The following letter was received by
Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Barzee, from A.
A. Bonner, private in Co. L. Second
Oregon, now stationed at Manila, and
bears date of December 23:
We received the Christmas boxs to
day and were agreeably surprised as
we didn't know they were coming. I
can assure you they were a .most wel
come addition to our bill of fare, which
is very slim at best, but it is far better
now than it was a few months ago.
We get fresh meat from Australia,
fresh vegetables from Hong Kong, and
the rest of our rations come from
America.
While we were at Cayite we nearly
starved, but we have fared very well
since we came to Manila, that is very
well for soldiers. We arrived at
Cavite on tbe last day of June, and
went ashore on the first day of July.
We moved into old Spanish barracks
that had been used for more than 100
years by the Spaniards before Dewey
came this way. We stayed there till
August 13th. At four o'clock in the
morning, we marched aboard the
Chinese steamier Kwoing Hoi, and
pulled out into the bay and waited un
til about 10 o'clock: when Dewey's
flagship, the Olympia, opened fire on
the forts and trenches, quickly fol
lowed by the rest of the fleet. After a
short engagement the Spanish forts
were silenced and our vessel moved
close in shore, in the line of fire and it
was a sight for any man to see our men
go over tbe Spanish works. Then we
went ashore under the guns of tbe
fleet and marched into the city. It
was one of the proudest moments of
our lives when we pulled the Spanish
flag down Irom the wall, and then
marched to the governor's palace and
pulled down another flag and raised
Old Glory. That night we slept in
marble halls, the floors were of white
and black marble. I believe it was the
hardest bed ' that I have slept on.
Since I joined tbe army I have slept
on all kinds of beds, but good ones. I
haye slept on the floor of a car, on the
deck of a ship, on the sand at the sea
side, in the mud in the trenches, but
the marble floor was tbe worst. We
have a bamboo bunk and for bedding
one wool blanket and one rubber blan
ket. We are quartered in very good
barracks now, but it is very hard to
tell how long we will be here, as they
change the regiment every few weeks.
We now have four kinds of uniform,
the blue, a brown, which is the fatigue
uniform, a white uniform and a kahika.
We have church services here every
Sunday. They are conducted by -the
chaplain, and he has organized a Y.
M. C. A; here, that is well attended.
I suppose you are having cold
weather and sleighing by this time.
I only wish we could have some of
your cold weather down here for it is
very warm. We do not know how
long we will be here, but hope we will
leave before the hot season comes
again.
We have had but one death, two dis
charged for disability, and we have
about a dozen in the hospital.

And said notary public or magistrate
shall demand corroborative testimony
if, in his judgement, the case seems to
require it, and, after being satisfied as
to the facts, be shall thereupon cut off
and remove at least two thirds of one
ear of each and every scalp so pre
sented and shall give to the owner of
the scalp or scalps a certificate stating
the number of scalps, the time when
the animal or animals were killed and
the name of the person or persons
claiming to own or to have killed the
animal or animals from which tbe
scalp or scalps were taken; provided,
that the expenses of the notary public
or magistrate for administering the j
affidavit and removing the ear from
the scalp or scalps and making the
certificate shall be paid by the person
owning or claiming to have killed, or
caused to have been killed, tbe animal
or animals from which the scalp or
scalps were taken, and such notary or
magistrate may collect from such
claimant a sum not exceeding five per
centum of the amount of such certifi

The New City Charter.
A draft of the new charter for Dalles
City, prepared by the commission ap
pointed by the council, is now at the
office of the recorder for inspection
All who are interested may examine
the charier and if they have any sug
gestions to make are requested to do
se before tbe copy is forwarded to the
legislature.
The changes made in the draft for
tbe new charter are onlv slight. The
principal changes are those giving the
council greater powers concerning the
construction and repairs of sewers
side and crosswalks; authorizing the
concil to put aside and loan $1000 a
year as a sinking fund to meet the
bonded indebtedness of the . citv
amounting to $57,000; authorizing the
water commission to regulate the
duties and fix the salary of the superin
tendent of water works; making the
recorder tbe clerk of the water com
mission, and changing the boundaries
of the corporation so that the west
line of the "Methodist mission" shall
be the western boundary of tbe city.
Extra Pay for Captain Lewis.
Commissioner Hermann, of the gen
eral land office, has just returned to
the president, through the secretary
of the interior, a report upon a bill
which recently passed congress, grant
ing to Captain J. W. Lewis, former
register of the United States land office
at Tho Dalles a payment of $521
for extra service rendered by him
during tbe vacancy in the office of re
ceiver occasioned by the death of Col.
Thomas S. Lang. As technically con
strued, the existing law refuses com
pensation to tbe register for the
amount of fees which be otherwise
would have been entitled to receive
had the receiver lived, and this bill is
to compensate him for that- which he
would otherwise h- ye received. The
commsssioner of tbs general land office
recommends the approval of the bill.
Started in Early.
A Pendleton dispatch to the Ore'
gonian gives the following account of
an escapade of three young bunch
grass boys that may get them into
serious trouble. It says.
John Morgan, son of the mayor of
Heppner: Jud Hart, son J. C. Hart,
and a lad named Orenwell are being
pursued by 'officers' from Heppner,
warrants-having been issued for their
arrest. The' boys are each about 14
years old, and all resided with their
parents in Heopner until a few days
ago, when they went to Oscar Minor's
pasture, near their homes, and stole
three horses and struck out for Grant
county. Warrants were sworn out for
their arrest. The boys have quite a
start of the officers, and will probably
make a long .ride before being overhauled.

court shall have satisfied itself as to
the justness of the claim so presented,
it shall there and then cause such

Invited to Heppner.
The Dalles Minstrel club have re'
ceived . an invitation from G. W.
Phelps to' put their Bhow on in Hep
pner, and Mr. Phelps takes oc?asion to
mention that the minstrels feed not
come to Heppner unless they can give
something first class, as the Elks have
taken, the matter in hand, and they
never foster anything except it is the
best. T he friends at Heppner need
have no fears in this regard, for The
Dalles Minstrels will put: on the best
show Heppner has ever seen. There
will be 20 people in the troupe, and
every one of them will be an artist a
whole show within himself. . '
' It is expected the show will be put
on here on the 30th or 31st, then, the
boys will be ready to entertain their
friends at Heppner as they were never
entertained before, for it will be a
show that would merit patronage in the
biggest city in America. Heppner
may rest assured that no one will call
to have bis admission fee returned
after having seen the entertainment.
A Bad Measure. .
A copy of a bill for an "act to pro
tect sturgeon in the waters of the Co
lumbia" has been received, and pro
vides that for a period of six- years it
shall be unlawful to take, capture or
kill-any sturgeon in the waters of the
Columbia, and also fixes punishment
for violators of this provision. -
While tbe sturgeon should be pro
tected, since they are a desirable food
fish, and catching them has become
a profitable industry, there is no coll
for such a law as this. It might be
well to have a close season for six
months, and prevent the taking of fish
less than five feet in length, but
the catching of them should cot be en
tirely prevented. . ...
