,". Last night the man from Antelope,
who has been arrested twice in the
last few days, was again taken into
. custody and is sobering up in the city
. jail. Fines and admonitions seem to
do no good to this individual and it
will probably be necessary to give him
an unreasonably short' time to get out
A town.
A landslide occurred a short dls'
tance west of Mosfer on the O. R. &
N. line this morning and it may cause
some delay to the afternoons train as

. winnfmr the Dins in the regular Fri-
1 day night bowling tournament on the
D. C. & A. C. alleys. , They made 500
pins in the four games on an average

ment bowling If they keep on they
will prove formidable rivals to the
great .New York trioThyne, Cordes
and Clinch who are coming to the
coast in the near future.
Last evening, Peter Reach, the pros-
serous farmer of the Boyd neighbor
' hood returned from a four month's visit

Yesterday afternoon, five individuals
who were full of fun and probably
something stronger, undertook to
take in the town by driving around in
a buggy. They took' a spurt down
Front street and when near the depot
tbey got sidetracked breaking a wheel
and otherwise Injuring the vehicle.
A report was current that there was a
wreck on the railroad near the depot,
but when the reporter arrived the
same was cleared away and four of tie
five were delivering an elaborate en-;
comlum on the driver of the said rig
who according to their version of the
catastrophe was wholy in fault.
Although The Dalles is not an ex
ceptionally good bicycle town, still
there are several roads in this vicini
ty on which riding could be enjoyed if
tbey were properly repaired. To make
the necessary improvements would in
volve but a slight expenditure and
aftorthe matter was attended to wheel
xaenwould have a place to go for a spin
outside the' city during the summer
months. A bicycle club should be or
ganized by the young men who take an
interest in the sport and a fund raised
to repair the river road if no other.
The reason that so many have lost In
terest in wheeling Is that there is no
place except in the city where they I

The latest venture ofCominL's well
known and popular billy goat, bas been
to go on the stage. Yesterday be was
loaded intb the aboye named vehicle
and sent out to Dufur, and will in the
future be the mascot of the Central
hotel in that city. On bis arrival
there some good natured Dufurite Bug
gested that he be lifted out of the
coach as he might hurt himself if he
were allowed to leap. As soon, how
ever, as bill learned that there were
strings on him no longer, be demon'
strated without doubt his natural agil
ity by a long leap, and as he landed on
the streets of Dufur he looked arouod
with a satisfied air as much as to say
he rather liked the place. His sur
rouDdiugs, for he spent much of his
time in the marble works, and bis
willingness to eat anything that came
in sight, had a tendency to give him
the marble heart so that bis owner
thought a trip to the interior was very
conducive to his health.

P. J. McGrail and wife, of Nausene,
are in tbe city today. He informs us
that there was considerable snow south
of Dufur this morning extending east
as far as the breaks of the Deschutes.
Last night's rain, which was quite
heavy throughout the interior, was
needed as there is not sufficient mois
ture, for this time of the year, to insure
trood crops. Tbe roads are in worse
condition today than they have been
for several weeks being very muddy
and slick.

adapted to each other and their sing'
very pleasing. Seldom have the peo

gaged in the butchering business in
Portland. He says he has not been
out of town the last two months, and
as for Arlington, he claims never to

BOATING BT MOONLIGHT.
Splendid Trial of 8peed by Regulator and
BaUas City.
Friday afternoon the D. P. & A.
N. Co. invited a large number of ladles
and gentlemen to take a rUe on the
fine steamer Regulator, It being her
final trial trip after having been re
paired and supplied with a new hull,
and about 150 persons took advantage
of the Invitation to spend an after
noon on the river.
Wben the boat left here at 2:30 the
sun was shining -brightly and a slight
wind was blowing, but when Crate's
point was passed tbe wind had ac
quired a velocity of about 30 miles an
hour, and was lasbing tbe water into a
perfect foam. The Regulator rode tbe
breakers like a duck, and proved be
yond doubt that it is going to be a fine
rough water vessel, much better than
it was with its old hull.
Tbe Dalles City was met at White
Salmon, and arrangements were made
for a race from Lyle to The Dalles, a
distance of Line mile-?, after tbe Dalles
City had discharged its freight. Con
siderable time was taken up at differ
ent landings where tbe discharge of
freight was necessary, and it was 6:25
before tbe boats "cleared for action'
at Lyle, and started on their run for
borne to determine which was the
swifter of the two.
When toe gongs were sounded to go
ahead, tbe Regulator was carrying 150
pounds of steam, and Enginier Charles
Granlin said the engines were working
in perfect order, though the boiler was
not in first-class shaDe as workmen
were busy all the time covering it with
asbestes, which lessened Us ability to
produce steam. Captain Fred Sher
man was at tbe wheel, and when he
gave the signal togoabead the staunch
craft pushed itself into the waters of
tbe Columbia like a dart. But it had
a worthy competitor in Tbe Dalles
City, which was in charge of Captain
Sherman Short, with Engineer Guy
Thayer hold of the lever, and as tbe
Dalles City 'was carrying 160 pounds
of steam she was able to turn her
wheel a little faster than the Regu
lator, but could not forge ahead of tbe
pride of The Dalles. The two boats
glided along in the splendid moon
light like two big swans, the Regula
tor holding tbe lead all the way some'
times 500 feet ahead, while occasionally
The Dalles City would come up within
a lengtn of her. Wben they slowed
up near the dock at the foot of Court
street the Regulator was about 150
feet in the lead, and on consulting
watches it was discovered the run of
nine miles had been made in just 33
minutes.
The little friendly contest between
the two boats developed the fact that
the D. P. & A. N. Co. now posses two
of the fastest boats in the Northwest,
and unquestionably they areas staunch
as can be built, for the hulls have
double frames, bolted together with
carriage bolts, and thus made as solid
as Is possible to make a wooden vessel.
Besides this they are supplied with
every convenience for the accomoda
tion of passengers, and are vessels in
which not only the company but the
entire community may well take a
pride.

A Morrow County Correspondent Wants
One Built From Here to Uardman.
Goosberry, Feb. 23, 1899
Ed. Timks-Modntainkib:
There are rumors afloat here con
cerning the building of an electric
railway starting at Tbe Dalles and
following the Columbia river to the
junction with the John Days, thence
up the John Days to the mouth of
Rock creek, thence up Rock creek to
Dry Fork of same, up Dry Fork, com
ing out near Vioos berry, thence up
Eight-Mile, coming out on top of Hale
Ridge, then running on the ridge to
Hardman, which place will be the end
of the road.
This road will tap the entire wheat
raising sections of Morrow and Gil
liam counties, also the wool trade
from over the mountains, besides
carrying the merchandise for the cities
and towns over the mountains.
The proposed route from Hardman
to the mouth of Rock creek, I have
traveled over and know that it will
be easily graded that far, but the rest
of the way I know oothiog about but
think it can be easily graded without
much work from what I can hear from
persons who have been over the
ground. The power was to b? made
at the falls of the John Days river.
The farmers nearly all the way along
the route are willing to give liberally
to promote the enterprise, at the rate
of from $250 to $500 each.

Captain O'Neal has received orders
to enlist no more men for Manila at

intention of the government to begin
enlisting men to nil the vacancies

In 1890 1 had a severe attack of LaGrinne
and at the end of four months, in spite of all
physicians, friends and good nursing could
do, my lungs heart and nervous system were
so completely wrecked, my life was de
spaired of, my friends giving me up. 1 could
only sleep by the use of opiates. My lungs
and heart pained me terribly and my cough
was most aggravating. I could not lie In
one position bat a short time and not on my
left side at all. My husband brought me
Dr. Miles' Nervine and Heart Cure and I be

until the war was over, are entitled to
discharges.
Eventually most of tbe men in the
regular army on this coast will find
their way to Manila, and it is the pur
pose of the government to take only
full term men there from now on
Any of those being discharged now by
reason of the recent order are entitled
to a term of three years if they desire
to do so. A good many, no doubt, will
while others prefer to return to their
homes.
There are nearly 150 men now in the
department of the Columbia who are
entitled to honorable discharge".
Those of them who refuse to take ad
vantage of tbis order now, will be kept
in service for tbe term of three years
from the time of enlistment.
Several soldiers arrived in Portland
last night, having received their dis
charges at Fort Stephens. Major
Coiner will pay them off today and
tbey all will leave for their homes in
a day or two.
His Ufe Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder
ful deliverance from a frightful death.
In telling it he says: I was taken with
typhoid fever, that ran into pneumonia.
My lungs became hardened. "I was so
weak I couldn't even sit up in bed.
Nothing helped me. I expected to
soon die of consumption, when I heard
of Dr. King's New Discovery. One
bottle gave me great relief. I con
tinued to use it, and now am well and
strong. I san't say too much in its
praise." This marvelous medicine is
tbe surest and quickest cure in the
world for all Throat and Lung Trouble.

TBE PASSING OF TBE TIMES.
After a Brief and Fitful Career, It Bas
Gone -to Its Death.
Another tombstone has been erected
in Portland journalistic cemetery.
After a brief and not particularly bril
liant career tbe Portland Daily Times
has succumbed to tbe inevitable, and
passed to that dreamless sleep where
copy-boys cease their ' troubling and
weekly paydays are unknown, says
the Portland Telegram.
Captain Edwards, of the American
Book company, was the only mourner
who followed the departed to its last
resting place. From bis abundance
be bad contributed thousands to tbe
youngster's support, and it may be
some time until the grief of the chief
mourner is assauied.
Tbe suspension of the Times merely
indicates that the people of Portland
demand a high order of newspaper.
The Times did not rill the bill. It was
not sufficiently meritorious to succeed,
and it is now dead. Tbe Times is not
the only paper that has failed from the
same cause, and In all probability will
not be the last. -

If anything will make glad the
hearts of the farmers it should be the
abundance of rain which fell last night
and today. From early in the evening
yesterday, until this afternoon the
rain has been falling continuously.
while in higher sect! ns of the couotr
it has snowed considerably. At Klng

morning. At present the snow has

A bowling match will take place in
the near future at tbe D. C. & A.
club between tbe ladies and gentle
men. .These matches are always very
interesting and whenever the tourna
ment takes place it will be sure to
draw an enthusiastic crowd of specta
tors. The match will consist of four
gsmes, the ladies receiving a suitable
handicap so that it will certainly be
close and exciting. At first it was the
intention to have the tourament to
morrow evening, but as some of the
ladies cannot be here on that occasion
it will be indefinitely postponed.
Yesterday Fred Houghton, chair
man of the bowling committee of tbe
Dalles Commercial Ss Athletic club, of
this city, received a badge from E. E.
Mallory, secretary of -the cocaed bat
association, which was presented to
Miss Alma Schanno, who has th6 hon
or of having the highest score of the
lady bowlers of the D. C. & A. club in
a fifty game contest, which was bowled
by tbe Astoria, Portland and Dalles
ladies. Miss Schanno's averaee for
tbe fifty games was 36 98 which Is cer
tainly high bowling. Mrs. Ingalls, of
Astoria, is tbe only lady wlo had a
higher score than Miss Schanno. The
pin is a neat design and should be
appreciated by the winner.

ciation is to protect the water supply

of the mountain streams. It is there
fore th purpose of the asssoclatlon to
use all legitimate means to keep sheep
out of the timber reserve, and to fur
nish the department with evidence
substantiating tbe claims tbat sheep
grazing on the mountain range effects
tbe water supply.
The association was permanently or
ganized by the election of I. D. Driver,
president; A. J. Dufur, vice president;
M. J. Anderson, secretary; Geo. John"
ston, treasurer. The membership fee
in the association was placed at one

held in Dufur on April 8ih, at which
time all parties in sympathy with the
aims of the organization are invited
