foreign missions the social work,

The river at Astoria is crowded with
chinook salmon at the present time,
and it gives every promise of being a
good season. There are a few fisher
men making drifts along the Washing
ton shore, and they are catching all
that tbey can safely dispose of. As
the tug Sampson was passing the Bar-
bary coast, near Pillar Rock, a few
days ago, they saw a fisherman pulling
in his net, and he got a fish at nearly
every lift. This would iudicate that
fishermen on the upper river will eel
goou catches this season.
The members of the Tacoma News
boys' Union propose to boycott the

and is considered perfectly fire proof
Chas. Butler arrived last evening

lot of cattle driven in from Summit
prairie.
A woman who gave the name of
Miss Gordon was declared 'insane at
Baker citv the other day. She had
been traveling about Eastern Oregon
for some weeks leading two ponies,

Winter is still lurking around in the
hizh country south of here. There are
great, big drifts of snow on tie plains
oetween Bakeoven and Trout Creek,
and the stage driver who came in from
the south this mornine reports three
inches of new snow at Bakeoven when
he left there last night and that it was
still snowing.
A considerable loss of sheep is re
ported in the yicinity of AoteloDe and
on Trout Creek, in Crook county.
There was little loss in that section
prior to the storm of last week, but
stock was poor and could not with
stand tbe recent storm, consequently
the loss during tbe past week has been
greater than during the entire winter.
B. F. Jones and Alt Allen arrived
this forenoon from Prineville, and

A Hove on Foot to Pot a Line on the
Columbia.
Since tbe government is showing
little activity In the matter of remoy
in? obstructions to navigation of the
Columbia above The Dalles.and neither
Oregon nor Washington has taken the
matter up as a state enterprise, it rests
with private individuals to accomplish
this end if it is done at all. Ihat the
work will be done as a private enter
prise seems likely, a company having
been organized for that purpose, and
sufficient capital has been secured to
carry the plan into execution. Dr.
Blalock. of Walla Walla, one of the
movers in tbe matter, has given out
the following statement concernicg
what is proposed to be done:
The incorporators of the new com
pany are N. G. Blaloek.of Walla Walla;
A. W. Mariner, Gilliam county, and
D. Smith, of Blalock, and the capitali
zation is to be $1,000,1100. .Regarding
the tinaucial features of the enterprise,
I will say only this, that the money to
construct the rail lines and to build
and equip the boats comes through the
Russell Sage interests. A. gentleman
who acts as Russell Sage's attorney in
.New lorn, an old associate and ac
quaintance of mine, was the one
through whom I enlisted Mr. Sage in
tbe plan, and, of course, it need not be
said that with such backing tbe supply
of sufficient funds is beyond question.
We propose to put on a line of
boats on the Columbia river, to ply
between Astoria, Portland and the foot
of the rapids of the Columbia, con
struct a portage railway to transport
freight around the rapids, and have
also a boat line to ply from the rapids
to points farther up, at least as far as
Umatilla.
"All along the Columbia river are
that the ordinance authorizes to be
charged. The water rent for a resi
dence with closet and bath tub is $2.50
per month. The tariff for lights is five
cents per candle power for lights un
till 10 o'clock, six cents for lights un
til midnight and eight cents for lights
all night, which is perhaps the highest
rate authorized in any city in the state
Prineville has shown enterprise, but
its citizens will regret the day this
contract was made.
A Brilliant Afflr.
Messrs. W. H. Wilson, Hugh Glenn,
W. H. Hobson and A. M. Kelsay
proved themselves royal entertainers
at tbe reception given the t'ongrega-
tianal ladies at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Wilson last night.
About 100 guests were present and
none of the entire number could but
say that the entertainment was per
fect in every respect. The four hosts
appeared first in costumes of sheet
and pillow cape, and pretended to sing,
though close observers discovered that
the music came from a quartet sta
tioned outside the window in front of
which they stood. Then J. F. Hamp-
snire gave a reading describing why
Dewey would not consent to be presi
dent, that fairly "brought down the
house." Will Frank rendered a solo that
was happily received, and a mandolin
quurtett was followed by a vocal solo
rendered by Rev. D. Poling. Asutnpt
uous lunch was then served by the
gentlemen, that was greatly enjoyed.
The party broke up about 11 o'clock,
the guests all voting that Messrs. Wil
son, Glenn, Hobson and Kelsay were
royal hosts.

There has been a little flurry in the
potato market in Portland lately, it
appearing that the supply was short,
but it is hardly likely that Oregon will
have to import "spuds" from the east,
since San Francisco buyers are find
ing plenty to supply their demands
throughout Willamette valley.
During the past week Sheriff Kelly
has been making pretty fair tax col
lections. On the 18th he turned over
to the county treasurer $3,766.84, and
yesterday 'made another deposit of
$7,263.63, making a total of $11,030.47
collected on the 1898 roll during tbe
past two weeks. .' .
a careiui inspection oi tne twenty
aore prune orchard owned by Camp
bell Bros, on the Blair . donation place
adjoining Eugene, shows the French
prune trees are dead beyond question.
The leaf buds are black and fall on a
slight touch. Ths Italian prune trees,
the major portion of tbe orchard, are
not injured in tbe least, either in limb
or body. The loss in this case is about
four hundred seven year old treesj

Telephones on windy days are liable
to get . matters confused, for it is dif
ficult to distinguish names spoken over
the wires ;when high winds are blow
ing. This is the cause of an error
made yesterday by the reporter of this
paper in stating that Dr. Siddall had
presented Mrs. Robert Kelly with tbe
handsome little Philippine dog, Agui

obliging janitor at the court house,
who was the donor, but our reporter

County Clerk Kelsay did a rushing
business in issuing marriage license
this afternoon, having granted three
sets of glory tickets. The interested
parties were R. E. Clanton and Laura
E. Cooley, T. C. Rutherford and Laura
Hermans, Orin S. Pratt, and Emma

Upper Hood River valley fruit j
raisers suuered less from tbe severe
weather in February than those, of
any other section of the county.
Their trees, with the exception of a
few pears, were not Injured in the
least. This was probably owing to
the fact that there was no warm weath
er to start the sap prior to tbe freeze.
A Mr. Scott, of Portland, is arrang
ing to open a summer resort in Upper
Hood river valley, near the farm of
D. R. Cooper. That is one of the
most dellehtful places In Oregon dur
ing the summer months, and a resort
opened there will undoubtedly be well
patronized.
Pendleton has been selected as the
place for holding the great council of
the Improved Order of Red Men. On
July 25, the council will assemble there
the tribesmen coming from the hunt

Heppner, Baker City, La Grande,
Union and Burns.
The law against nickel-in-the slot
machines seems to be a dead letter all
over the state. In several places the
little devices went into hiding after
the law was signed by the governor,
but from accounts it seems they are
being brought out one by one and put
into use. It is said that in Eugene,
which is one of the strictest town in
the state, they are being used openly
again.
Eugenia McConaha, the' first white
girl born in the city of Seattle, died
Monday morning from a complication
of diseases, after an illness of several
days. Eugenia McConaha was born
September 18, 1852, while Seattle was
yet only a frontier settlement, in a
residence that stood about where tbe
and has sold papers on the street ever
since. She has been uniformly suc
cessful, and the newsboys are jealous
of her prosperity. Just how these
young merchants figure out that one
lone girl is ruining their business is
hard to say. She sells no more papers
than some of the boys who have
signed tbe petition, and the News
j proposes to stand by the girl in this
matter.
Messrs. F. G. Erb and B. A. Wil
liams, connected with the Gem Aceyt
lene Gas Co., of Portland, are in the
city and are taking up the proposition
with the council of lighting the streets
of The Dalles with pas. These gen
tlemen stale that streets lights can be
maintained at no greater cost than $4
per light, which if correct is a yery
cheap light. This class of light is by
no means an experiment, as it is
used extensively in Germany, where a
majority of tbe cities are lighted with
acetylene gas, and some large cities in
this country are also usetng it. Wa

Frank Weeks is in receipt of a letter
from Clyde Nickum, corporal in Co. E.
Second Oregon, dated at Manila Feb.
9, in which Mr. Nickum says the Ore

John D. Shearer, one of the most
Interesting characters at the asylum,
died Wednesday afternoon, after a
short Illness. He was 96 years old.
He was one of the first inmates of the
Salem institution, having been moved
there when It was opened, from the
old Hawthorne asylum in Portland, to
which be was admitted from Linn
county in 1863, when he was 60 years
old. He did light work around the
building until a short time before his
death.
Two young men while hunting be
low town today made a discovery that
mar disclose a mystery. About half
a mile beyond the Mill creek bridge,
near some lakes, they discovered on a
sbelf of rocn a telescope valise con
taining a hand mirror and some ladies'
apparel, also a number of letters, one
addressed to Frank Button, of Hood
River, and another to the clerk
of Skamania county. About six foet
below the valise were a pair of rub
bers, a pair of shoe-? and a dress waist
hid under some rocks, and on a shelf
of rocks above was a dress skirt that
appeared to haye been torn from the
waist. Whether tbe articles had been
stolen and deposited there or whether
some crime had been committed is not
known. ' The attention of Marshal
Lauer has been called to the matter
and he will make an investigation.
A Jefferson Banqnet.
The democrats of Oregon have de
termined to commemorate the memory
of Thomas Jeffersou, and will observe
tbe anniversary of that great, good
man with a banquet at Watson's .in
Portland on the evening of April 13tb.
Invitations for the occasion have been
issued and bear . tbe names of W. E.
Robertson, president of the Jefferson
Democratic Club of Oregon; M. E.
Munly, vice president, W. N. Gatens,
secretary; George E. Chamberlain-, G.
W. Halcomb and R. W. Thompsoo,

for the assembling in Portland of
representative democrats from all
parts of the state, when matters of
Interest to tbe party will be considered
reached from the river, would pour
into the coast ports a steady stream of
of agricultural and livestock products,
in much larger volume than they now
do. We propose, therefore, to build
spur rail lines from the river to Pen
dleton, Walla Walla, Heppner, Condon
and other points, to connect with the
boat lines, and to serve as feeders.
"We have been assured by compe
tent railway men that the scheme is
feasible, and that, once under opera
tion, it cannot fail to be a paying prop
osition The main advantage in tbe
plan is that it gives us water transpor
tation to tbe seaboard, except for the
small distance on the spur rail lines,
and then, too, it brings all tbe Colum
bia river islands into direct communi
cation witb the markets of the seaboard
Anv one will at once recognize this as
an ideal transportation project, and
the scheme is bound to be a success
from the start.

What might have been a serious
accident occurred at L. W. Darling's
ranch Tuesday morning, says the
Heppner Times. The week's washing
was in progress and, as was Mrs.
Darling's custom, a small amount of
gasoline had been added to tbe water
in which the clothes were bailed. The
water was boiling at a lively rate when
Stella, one of the daughters of the
household, lifted the lid and immedi
ately there was an explosion. Tbe
young lady's face and hands wero
seriously burned and tbe paper on the
ceiling was ignited. The fire was ex

little articles that are of great use in
the care of the soldiers.
They met under the auspices of the

whether or not members of tbe Bed
Cross, will be there to assist in the

Wagoner was Btanding on the cross
walk in front of tbe D. P. & A. N. of
fice and made a rush to board a flat car,
presumably intending to get a free
ride. In some way he missed bis hold
and fell under the train, . which was
going at quite a rapid rate. The
wheels of one truck passed over both
bis feet, cutting the right one almost
entirely off at the ankle, and mangling
the other leg terribly above tbe ankle.
As soon as the train' passed, a crowd
gathered and took charge of the un
fortunate man until. Marshal Lauer
arrived and called Dr. Bol)ister. They
took him to the marshal's office, where
in tbe afternoon Drs. Hoilister and
Logan removed tbe right foot, the one
that was injured the worst.
The Injured man is a stranger here
and appears to be a laborer. He was
so severely hurt that be could cot
talk more than to give his name, and
state that he had no friends in this
country. He probably had arrived
during the night with a companion,
as another man was seen to board the
traia at the time be made tbe unfor
tunate attempt to get on.
lABt Their Laurels.
In tbe bowling contest on the club
alleys Wednesday, the ladies were
rather unfortunate, for they lost some
of the laurels they had won in tbe past
games, and were forced to surrender
to the team composed of the sterner
sex after having hotly contested four
games. But since they had been vic
torious in all former tournaments,
they could gracefully submit to defeat
once. In the contest the ladies were
allowed a handicap of 43 in each game.
The individual scores made by each of
the several players, in the four games,
was as follows:
the feet are neglected the nails get cut
oi shape- and order, and the skin is not
9s smooth and white as nature intended
it should be.
Then, again, feet are tortured into
footwear that are a size too small, that
fits in no particular, that presses on the
flesh and causes corns, and, above all,
that makes us limp aiid waddle like so
many ducks. Why women will persist
tu wearing hideously high heels no per
son in the world besides themselves
sould say. Not only does it throw the
whole weight of the body forward on to
the toes, causing a very painful disor
der, but it throws all the important in
ternal organs out of place and very
terrible troubles and premature death
are frequently the result. Besidei
which it is very uyly, and causes a smile
to arise on seeing a large lady tottering
a la Chinese on tiny heels far too slender
to bear her.
Feople are much mistaken in think
ing that high heels make Ihe foot look
smaller. Asa matter of fact they make
it look far larger, as it is compressed
into an ugly fat mass that swells out
over the top of the slipper in anything
but a graceful manner.

of the size that properly belongs to it

New York, March 23. A dispatch
to the Herald from Washington says:
There is reason to believe that an Im
ports nt proposition looking to the
settlement of international disputes
by arbitration will be advanced by tbe
American delegates at the coming
disarmament conference.
It is learned on high authority that
the credentials for and instr-ictions to
the American delegates are now beint
prepared by Sec etary Hay, and that
they will be rea ly for suomission to
tbe president his approval when
he returns to Washington from hi
Southern trip. These Instructions
will be a complete exposition of the
(juninuu oi una government on the
question of disarmament and arbitra'
tion.
Sir William Pauncefort has been
advised of hi appointment as senior
member of the British delegation
The British minister to The Hagu
will also be a member.
M. De Staael, tbe Russian ambas
s.idor to Great Britain and leading
representative of the czar at the coo
forence, will be assisted by Professoi
Martens, professor of international
law in the university at St. Ptteisburg
and probably by the Russian minister
to The Hague.
Following the policy, which it seems
likely that all the nations will adopt,
President McKinley will accredit the
minister of the Netherlands as one of
the American delegates. Ambassa'
dors White ana Tower will probably
be the other members of the Ameri
can delegation. (
So far as the proposition for a gen
eral disarmament of the nations of the
world is concerned, it will be the duty
of the American delegatesvXo explain
and to show that the United States
naval and military establishment is
far below what it should be, and be
sides that this government does not
intend to hamper' in any way the in
ventive faculty of the people of this
country. -Nor is it expected that
Great Britain will do so. Is fact, the
most Important result which the of
ficials expect of the conference will
be the adoption of some plan for the
reference of disputes to general arbi
tration, and the United States will
haye a plan of this character as well as
other nations.

During the heavy wind that was
bowing Tuesday afternoon fire
caught In the house of Hugo Schoolz,
who lives about four miles south of
The Dalles, and the house with all Its
contents was consumed. Mrs. Schoolz
and her little baby were in the house
at tbe time, while Mr. Schoolz was
plowing in a field near by, but tbe tire
burned so rapidly that nothing could
be saved. Their loss is estimated to be
between $300 and 400, and comprises
their clothing, household furniture and
supplies, leaving them almost destitute.

for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs. Scboolz

"Captain J. R. Muilett, of New York,
accompanied by his wife, was in Al
bany on Monday. His business card
set forth that he is "tbe only man who
makes a business of catching sea lions
and sending .hem all over the world."
He is after 100 lions and is going to
secure them regardless of price. He
has beard about seal rocks and intends,
to make a haul there. The sea lions
gather around at this season of the
year to prey on the salmon entering
the streams devouring many of the
favorite fish. Captain Muilett will pur
chase two tons of smelt and freeze
them, and will feed his housed, but un
tamed, water monarobs witb them
during their shipment across the conti
nent. He went over to Yakina.
Captain Muilett will lasso uost of
his sea lions at night. He uses an elec
trie light and a steam launch, and as
any one who has seen a sea lion can
imagine, it is quite a trick to catch
one and something more of a job to
handle one after yon get the lasso
around his ferocious body.- A full grown
sea lion Is about as large as a Clydesdale
horse, and sets a pace like a torpedo
boat chasing sunbeams, so17 one' can
get a mind's eye view of the joyful
sport it is to suocpsfully land one with
out mishap.
Prlneyllle'a Mistake.
The town of Prineville has voted to
bond itself for $10,000 for the purpose
of inducing H. V. Gates, of Hillsboro,
to erect a 815,000 electric light plant
nd water system, and has, through its
council, passed an ordinance granting
said Gates a franchise for 15 years to
operate his light and water system, the
city agreeing to pay $10,000 rent in ad
vance for 20 fire plugs for 10 years, and
reserving the right to condemn and
purchase both plants at the expiration
of ten years, the value to be determined
by calculating on such a sum as will at
8 per cent create a sum equal to the
Income of the plants for the.. year pre
vious to the condemnation, and the
$10,000 advanced as rent be a portion
of the purchase payment.
From a consideration of the contract
which the town has entered into it
would seem Prineville has made a bad
bargain. Apparently it would have
been better for the town to have issued
$5,000 more bonds and owned its own
water and light plants, then whatever
profits there should be could have gone
towards paying off the bond. And
that there will be a profit in tbe opera
tlonwf the plants is evident from tbe
schedule of rates' for light and water

Slow Justice.
The refinement of cruelty as distilled
hy the slow processes of tbe law in
meting out justice to criminals Is seen
in the case of Claude Branton, the Lane

this criminal is long over due. Both
justice and humanity are violated in
keeping a human being upon a mental
strain by delaying the execution of
penalty until mind and body are
wrecked. The safety of society de
mands that cold blooded murderers
should upon proper conviction, be ex

so soon brings redness to the tip of th
nose as tight shoes.
If you have a long, narrow foot, or s
fat one, you must have your shoes and
boots made expressly for you, as ready
made boots never take Into considera
tion anything out of the common as re
gards the formation of the foot. If yon
have a flat foot do not wear a too arched
instep; if your foot is very arched, see
that your shoe is made to fit it
, If you wish the foot to appear small
by perfectly natural means, always
wear black kid or satin. A white shoe
makes a foot look large and very wide
and should never be worn except where
the foot is faultless in shape and very
small to look at. If the shoes are darkei
in color than the dress, the feet will ap
pear to much more advantage.
You should always have your shoe
eased for you before wearing them, and
be careful never to take long walks
when wearlug a new pair. Very grave
trouble is often the result of walking in
shoes that are stiff to the feet, i have
known severe lameness to ensue, and
very great pain is the inevitable result.
If you wish to preserve the proper
shape of the foot, never walk about the
house in loose old slippers. They may
perhaps be comfortable, but they will
entirely ruin, the shape, and all elegance
will be lost sight of if this untidy course
js persisted in.
It seems superfluous to say that the
feet should be well washed twice a day.
Tepid water should be used, and the
heels, toes and soles should be daily
rubbed with pumice stone or pumice
powder. This will entirely prevent all
thickening of the skin, which is so un
pleasant. The feet must not be soaked in the
water, but only kept in long enough to
wash them. Too hot water and keeping
the feet too long in it will make the
skin very tender, and cause various
troubles if you are at all delicate.
To keep the flesh in good, healthy con
dition, rub a little salt on the soles
when still wet. This will not only
strengthen them, but keep them from
catching cold. If lime flowers, tincture
of benzoin or a few drops of ammonia is
put in the water the feet are washed in,
it will rest and sothe them very much.
Salt and water dashed over the feet will
strengthen them. Philadelphia Times.
