ITEMS IN BRIEF.
, From Saturday's Daily
r J. J. "Miller, of Deschutes, is in the
city..
Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Hintoa, of Bake-
.' oven, are in town. ;
' ' Judge Bennett went to Walla Walla
on last evening's train. . K
' Messrs. W. H, Wilson and A. A.
Jayne went to Portland this afternoon.
. ;' Senator Micbell returned last even
ing from Salem, and will spend to
morrow in the city.
. s
Dallesitea bave felt natural today,
having been favored with one of those
' little breezes so common here, but
which have been uncommon the past
; two months. , ;
Thursday night Steve RuBsel was
' arrested by Nightwatchman Pbirman
on a charge of vagrancy, and last even
ing was sentenced by Recorder Gates
, to 10 days in the city jail.
It is estimated that there are frem
800,000 to 1,000,000. bushels ot wheat
yet in the bands of Umatilla farmers.
A large amount of this has been pooled
in lots of 50,000 to 180,000 bushels and
is offered at 50 cents a bushel.'
On Thursday night the summer rest
dence of Mr. Justin, of Portland, at
Cascade Locks,, was destroved by fire.
The man who badtbe house in charere
- was heating a bucket of . tar on tbe
stove, when it turned over,: setting
' fire to the building.
; Farmers of '. every section of tbe
county are highly pleased with pres
ent prospects Tbe winter has been
an ideal one, the snow having been
sufficient to thoroughly wet the ground
and also to protect growing crops from
the frost. With anything like a favor
able summer the yield -of grain this
year will be large. .
The' steamer Dalles City arrived
safely from Portland at 4:10 o'clock
- last evening after having fought her
way for four hours through the ics jam
at Crate,s point, and after discharging
passengers, proceeded to Hungry bar-
' bor-and brought the' wharf boat and
; Regulator out of winter quarters.
This was the first trip the boat bad
' made since the 3d of the month.
, The improvements that ; have been
going on at the Umatilla House re
cently seem to have no limit.. They
began s'with the putting in of a steam
heating apparatus last fall, and have
gone on steadily until the old Umatilla
Is scarcely recognized by ! its former
patrons. The latest addition is a band-
, some oak bar put in yesterday, that is
a perfect beauty.
Either the people of The Dalles and
those who visit tbe city are more law-
' abiding than those of Portland, or our
peace officers are more efficient. Port
land with one police to . every 1000 in
habitants has -robberies, hold-ups. and
all sorts of "lawlessness,' while Tbe
Dalles, with a population of 5,000,bas
only a marshal and night watch to look
''after the peace of the city, and acts of
lawlessness are few.
Tbe official record of lumber and
shingle shipments by rail from Puget
; sound for 1898 was just a little short of
30,000 carloads. The figures published

ments of 10,729 carloads of lumber,
equal to 176,664,000 feet, as against
7671 cars, or 122,736,000 feet for 1897.
The shingle product removed out of the
state by rail was 18,998 cars, or 3,039,-
, 780,000 pieces, as against 17,540 cars,
or 2,806,400,000 pieces in 1897. ,

as typical western scenery.
"A Boy Wanted" was found at the
Vogt Opera House last Saturday. He
was found by a good sized audience
that laughed at his antics and the ri
diculousness of the other members of
the company. The play is a light farce
comedy, and while there is nothing to
it, it is entertaing and furnishes a first
rate evening's amusement.
A. J. Sbrum is in from his stock farm
on Cherry creex,' Crook county, and
says tbe snow has all left that section
and when he left home everything had
the appearance of spring. Gras has

need. He reports very little loss of
stdck in the section where ha lives.

A MAN
LOST.
lost ! No man understands the full
meaning of that word like the man who
has been lost. He will tell you: " I was
In the woods goitijs ahead steadily when
I realized I'd missed the trail. With a
cry of ' Lost ! I broke into a ran hnxl.
less or ignorant of the direction I was
going."
The first impulse of a man lost in the
woods is to run. The only safe thing is
w an. ngm aown ana reason out the
position.
Sometimes a business man gets np at the
nsual hour, breakfasts, kisses his wife and
starts for the office. He has for some-
tune seen signs that he was off the trail
of health. To-day the signs multinlv.
His brain is dull and dizzy, his heart
does not beat right, his breathing is dif-
uuuii, oh iiinos reel Tremulous. He is
cared. He realizes that he's fax away
i rum mc trail ot . nealtn. ana suddenlv
like a panther from a tree, the thought
leaps on nun, " you are a lost man."
The first impulse is to run for heln.
though the way is honey-combed with
pitfalls of quackery. But tbe rational -man
faces tbe facts, sits down and
thinks over the position and its proba
bilities.
That is the man we want to talk to.
jjisease in almost any form is gen
erally accompanied by the failure of the
organs of dieestion and nutrition. Re

me oiooa is at once enriched, tbe body
nourished and the general health re
stored. This result is invariably ac
complished by Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. It is a stomach-strengthening,
nerve-nourishing, muscle-making,
blood-purifying medicine. It has cured
thousands who thought their health
entirely lost. The " Discovery " is not
a stimulant and contain no alcohol or
whisky, gold at all medicine ftores,
Although there is not as much bowl
ing done at the club, alleys during the
present winter as heretofore, still the
quality of the rolling almost makes up
for the quantity, as last week's scores
would indicate. They are as follows:
Monday, Fred Houghton 53; Tuesday,
Fred Houghton, 61; Wednesday, Mrs.
Huntington, 52; Thursday, Miss Lang
50; Friday, C. L. Phillips, 57; Saturday
J. F. Moore, 50; Sunday, P. Mays. 57.
Up to coon today 300 seats for th
minstrel show were reserved and are
continuing to Bell rapidly, so that it is
evident that standing room, in the
opera house, will be valuable on Satur
day eyening when what promices to
be the best local talent show ever put
on in Tbe Dalles will be presented.
The spirit of our people to patronize
home talent is certainly commendable
and tbey can rest assured that they
will fully enjoy the performance.
Tbe action of City Marshal Lauer in
commencing to repair the streets
before spring opens is very commend
able, since if this work is neglected
too long it will be next to impossible
to put them in proper shape during the
entire summer, and good streets go far
towards making an impression on out
siders as to the thrift and enterprise of
our citizens.
The sheep raisers from various
points in the interior state that their
flocks are at present In a good con
dition. For a time during the recent
storm they entertained fears of being
able to bring their flocks through the
winter, but the only forbodings they
have at present are that tbe winter
has broken up too early and that an
other bad Btorm may come towards
spring.
Numerous wheat sales are being
made in Tbe Dalles at present and trie
producers are evidently beginning to
fear that the indications are not good
for an Increase over the present price
which is 50 cedts per bushel. Many
who could have sold for better figures
last fall are sorry now that tbey
waited so long, and seem anxious to
dispose of their produce at present
quotations.
As It is ladies day at the club the
evening session of the Wool Growers
association will be held in the Umatil
la House 'parlor. - Forestry Superin
tendent Ormsby will arrive on the 5:30
train and will address the wool grow
ers at this evening session, so that it
promises to be both interesting and
important, and will certainty be well
attended by those interested in this
great ndustry.
W. A. Rogers, the Harper's Weekly
artist, who has been in the city sketch
ing views of Oregon scenery for his
paper in an interview today said: , "I
regret very much that I could not bave
been in this country duriug the spring
and summer season so that I could do
justice to what I consider a great state."
Mr. Rogers realizes the immensity of
the fishing industry ton the Columbia
and is very much interested in tbe
same. He states that be will endeav
or to return next summer so as to cret a
number of sketches along the river,
and thus give the people of tbe other
states a better idea of the magnitude
of Oregon's industries.

A Commendable Hove.
At a recent meeting of citizens held
in Portland It was determined to erect
a monument to the memory of the
Oregon soldiers who died in tbe re
cent war with Spain, and General
Beeby. was elected president of the
executive board with M. D. Wisdom as
secretary, to take in hand the tnaUer
of raising funds for the monument.
A committeman for each county has
been selected, and Judge W. L. Brad-
shaw has kindly consented to act as
committeman for Wasco county.
Parties desiring information concern
ing the plan for creating the monnm
ment fund are requested to call on bim
or at this office. , It is hoped to have
the monument teady for unveiling on
the date of tbe arrival of tbe Oregon
regiment from Manila. All patriotic
citizens should become interested in
this move.
A Jrortnnate Escape.
What might have proven a serious
fire was averted at the residence of J.
T. Peters, on Liberty street, at 7
o'clock Monday morning. A quilt bad
been bung near the fire to warm and
tbe children in going to breakfast had
pushed it against the stove, where
from tbe beat of the stove it caught
fire. Mr. Peters had gone to bis store
and when the fire was discovered it
was almost beyond control, though
through the efforts of the ladies in tbe
house the fire was extinguished and
tne nouse savea. une damage was
slight, being confined to carpets, walls,
etc., but it was a fortunate escape from
a serious conflagration. Inside of an
hour after the fire, the agents of the
two companies that were carrying the
insurance on the building were on
hand ready to arrange for adjusting
the loss.

Tomorrow evening an entertain'
ment and social will be given at tbe

A special meeting of the city coun
cil was held at tbe office of the recorder
last evening, presided over by Mayor
Nolan, and there being present
Counsilmen Kuck, Clougb, Johns,
Gunning, Stephens, Michelbach and
Keller.
After roll call, Mayor Nolan stated
to tbe council that the object of the
meeting was for the purpose of levy
ing a tax for the year 1899 and to
consider the proposed new charter.
On motion of Kuck, seconded by
Stephens, it was ordered that a tax of
5 mills for general fund and 11 mills
for special fund, to pay interest on the
bonded indebtedness of the city and
create a sinking fund to meet tbe
principal, be levied upon each dollar
of taxable property within the city

The draft of the proposed new char
ter was then submitted to the council,
and the principal changes thereto
were pointed out by the mayor, and
oa motion it was adopted as prepared
by tbe commission except as to tbe
boundaries, which were left virtually
as they now are.
The taxable property of the city be
ing $1,110,127, a tax of 6i mills will
create a fund of $7215 81, $5550.73 gen
eral fund and $1665.18 special fund.
SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.
Has the Dingle Tariff Helped the Wool
grower? The woolgrowers of the West have
almost as a unit declared in favor of a
high protective duty on wool, and for
almost two years have been accorded
their demands. If it is beneficial to
their industry, it is now time for some
of the beneficial results to be realized.
Tbe following from tbe Sc. Louis Re
public may be found of interest to
them and throw some light on the
subject:
High duties have not brought wealth
or eyen a reasonable profit to either
woolgrowers or woolen manufacturers.
Despite the high duties placed upon it
by tbe Dingley bill, the price of
American wool is below the cost of its
foreign rival with the duty added.
Secretary North of the Woolen
Manufacturers of Massachusetts makes
it clear that the existing high tariff is
thet cause of the unprofitableness of
the woolen industry both to producer
and manufacturer. The past year, he
says, has been one of "general dullness
and nonemployment. hardly paralleled.
With all classes it has been a year of
small business, of much anxiety and
often of hardships and embarrass
ment." He points to the fact that more im
portant milling establishments con
nected with his association have as
signed since tbe present tariff law
went into operation than in any previ
ous period of like length since the
panic of 1857. Alongside this state
ment he places another to the effect
that the importations of wollens bave
been smaller in quantity during the
last year than for 50 years.
American wool and woolens bave
had the market to themselves, and
they have fared worse with the Ding
ley bill to protect tnem than ever
before. Mr. North gives lessened
production instead bf over production
as one of the causes contributing to
this condition. The Dingley bill sent
the price of the raw material up in the
beginning and caused the manufactur
ers to lay in a large stocks at figures
which they could not realize a profit
on when it came to disposing of their
fabrics to the clothiers. Unprotected
cotton was introduced as a competitor
to wool which was protected to the ex
tent of 22 to 23cents per scoured pound
It was mixed with wool as an expedient
to cheapen the cost of manufacture,
Woolen manufacturers who stuck 'to
wool met with ruin and the price of
the raw material was forced down
As Mr. North puts It, "an economic
law was at work which tariffs cannot
set aside."

At Cedar Circle Xst Erenlng.
Someway the neighbors of Cedar
Circle found out that their guardian
neighbor, Ollie F. Stephens, would
have a birthday in January and they
inquired of her husband tbe exact
date, and found it to be the 21st, so last
Friday they determined to remember
her at lodge session. The plans were
well 'laid, so that Mrs. Stephens
though the appearance the hall wore
of being a forest, from the decorations
of fir trees, was for the benefit of the
candidate who was to be initated, so
inquired no further. The affair was a
surprise to the guardian neighbor.
After lodge was over the tables werei
laid and a delicate luncheon was served
with chocolate. There was a constant
flow of mirth and pleasant conver
sation from the moment the guardian
was led to her seat of honor, and all
the officers and members were seated
until the hour was up, and in a few
sjordt the advisor called (be attention
of the guardian to the fact that the
birthday luncheon was not all the
Circle had thought of in remembrance
of her faithfulness to the order, but
that they wished to place in her hands
a more lasting token of the esteem in
which she is held, and after wishing
her many happy returns of the day,
presented her, in the name of the
members of Cedar Circle, a beautiful
remembrance in the form of a silver
berry spoon.
The guardian neighbor, in a short,
well worded address, said she thanked
the Circle -for thinking of her in this
way, that it was a complete surprise to
ber and that she would do the very
best she could to fill the office to which
she was elected, according to the laws
of the order.
The evening was a pleasant one to
all, every one voting that it was just
as pleasant to give as to-receive, and
each wished it was his or her birth
day. Nex-. week there will be initia
tions and balloting on candidates.
Teachers Were Entertained.
The the teachers of The Dalles pub
lic schools found an oasis in life's
weary waste of toil at the pleasant
home of Mrs. E. M. Wilson, on last
Saturday afternoon, where they
hied like a caravan of worn travel
ers and unburdening themselves of
work-a-day cares enjoyed a respite
under the genius of Mrs. Wiljon and
Miss Wrenn whose hospitality they
enjoyed, and were regaled with delici
ous coffee and dainty refreshments.
Not unnaturally, their minds wan
dered back to their own school days,
and many were the reminiscences
brought to light which provoked much
merriment, and mirth flowed freely
until the subject of the pending school
law relating to teachers' certificates
was mentioned, when constrnation
was depicted upon the faces of all ex
cept two who are-fortunate enough to
hold life diplomas. One thacher
solemnly announced that within a very
few months she must choose between
a Ufe diploma, matrimony or Idleness.
She failed to relieve the minds of those
present by stating which of these ca
lamities she proposed to take upon
herself.
The shades of evening falling all too
soon brought thin charming afternoon
to a close and all departed feeling
happiness in knowing that two kind
hearts at least realize that a teacher's
life should not be all of toil alone.

, A Fleasaht Evening.
Last night Mrs. E. O. McCoy enter
tained a number of friends, and a most
enjoyable evening was spent. The
guests assembled early in the evening,
and whist was made tne special feature
of amusement. In the contest Mr. W.
H. Moody proved the poorest player
and was awarded the booby prize,
while Mr. J. T. Peters scored the
most points and earned the honor of
being the best player. After whist
had been indulged in for some time,
the guests were invited to the dining

WOOL GROWERS' MEETING).
Convention Opened In the Clob Booms
This Morning Various Blatters
of Importance Dlscuseer.
The special meeting of the Oregon
Wool Grower's association was called to
order at 10:30 Monday morning by the
secretary of the association, Fred W.
Wilson. In bis opnning speech, Mr.
Wilson commented on the good seeds
sown by the organization of the asso
ciation last March, otherwise it would
be with great difficulty that this meet
ing could be called. At the request of
Captain Ormsby, a letter from Repre
sentative A. S. Roberts, in which he
offers numerous valuable suggestions
concerning the main object of tbe
meeting, namely, deciding on some
practical manner of settling the matter
of protecting, to a certain extent, the
grazing lands and apportioning the
same between the sheepmen who run
their sheep on these ranges, was
read. By way of conclusion Mr. Wil
son said while the sheep men were
here to consider the matter for their
own Interest, on the other hand,
nothing would be done that would be
detrimental to the interest of other
stock men.
Owing to tbe absence of Mr. Young,
chairman of the association, a tempor
ary chairman in the person of Mr. A.
R. Thompson was chosen.
A motiou was then made and carried
that all wool men present who had not
yet became members of the associa
tion could join by the payment of the
initiation fee which is 50 cents.
The discussion bf the question of al
lotment of summer ranges on the pay
ing of a certain price per head for run
ning sheep on these ranges was opened
by J . V. O'Leary, who stated that a
satisfactory arrangement of this kind
would not only be of great benefit to
the sheep men, but also would bave a
tendency to protect these ranges which
are gradually being destroyed by the
large number of sheep that are pastured
annually. Mr. Bonner, of Tygh, sug
gested that each sheep man be allowed
to lease a certain amount of range at a
set figure and In this way, by sowing
suitable grasses, the range could be
made to pasture many more sheep than
at present and all trouble oyer range
could thus be avoided.
The suggestions was made that the
range be leased to the highest bidder.
This was commented upon with dis
favor, however, by Messrs. Young and
Jones who were of the opinion that the
range price might be ran ud to too
high a figure by persons antagonistic
to the wool industry, and that all
should pay an equal rate for the range
land
; As many of those present desired to
talk these matters over more fully the
meeting adjourned until 2 P. M.
The afternoon session was called
to order at 2 o'clock and the subject
of running sheep on the forest reserve
was once more taken up In earnest.
A number of propositions which have
been offered by Mr. Ormsby were
read and taken up for consideration.
Mr. W. H. H. Dufur Forest Super
visor for this section was invited to
address the meeting. He stated that
while he did not know Mr. Osmsby's
intentiou in this matter he felt sure
that he would act fairly and honorably
and do all possible to assist the wool
men throughout the state. ,
He further encouraged the wool
growers to act together in these mat
ters and heartily favors certain allot
ments to each individual sheep grower.
The question of allotment was heartily
favored by Mr. F. N. Jones, in a short
but pointed speech, while Mr. Sherar
on the other hand looks at the idea
with disfavor, since it would be con
stantly causing trouble between the
sheepmen whose allotments have to be
passed in going to respective ranges,
Mr. Hlnton then spoke in disfavor of
the allottment scheme aud while he
favors the idea of paying the gov
ernment for the range, he is opposed
to allotments in any form.
Judge Mays urged the 'sheep men to
do all in their power to keep tbe ranges
in good condition, and stated it was
not the grazing but the running over
the mountains that injured the reserve
for grazing purposes. He urged the
wool-growers to act reasonable in
bringing their sheep into the summer
range and not rush to reach the range
before any one else and by so doing
tramp out the grass over which they
pass, rather than allow their sheep to
feed on it.
