There Is no question but a stage

A gentleman, who lives near the
town of Grass Valley, was here, a fjw

came to The Dalles to do his gen

LAOCT BBPOBTS LOSSES.
Prominent Livestock Bayer Has Been vat
in the Interior.
Frank Lacey, one of the btst known
livestock handlers, and who has just
returned from a trip into the regions
where sheep and cattle are raised ex
tensively , was seen at the Hotel Pen
dleton, and said regarding his observa
tions to an East Oregodian reporter:
"The losses of sheep during the
recent severe weather, I would place
at between 10 and 20 per cent. This
estimate is based on actual observa
tion while on a trip out into the
regions where the sheep are raised.
And, furthermore, the sheep are still
dying, and there mu9t be considerable
more lose, before the summer warmth
and new grasses pat a stop to the
deaths among the bands.
"Hay is so scarce, that in many
localities there is none left to feed un
til the grass has come in sufficient
length to afford good food. Sheepmen
are glad to pay $10 a ton, and at that
price it is cheap, under present condi
tions. Gilman & French, "of The Dalles,
have lost at least 1000 head of cattle
and throughout tbat part of the
country sheep and cattle died and are
still dying in large numbers."
Mr. Lacy says concerning prices:
"At the present time, sheep men
want within 50 cents of the prices paid
last year, which was $2.25 per bead
for yearling wethers. This can hardly
be paid, under the existing market
conditions, and therefore there are no
sales being made, to my knowledge.
Considerable figuring is going on, how
ever, and some sales may soon be
made.''
Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot tor years

that she could not turn over ia bed
alone. After using two bottles of

CLEAN UP.
Let the Sanitary Condition of the Town Be
Improved.
During the winter months people
use alleys and unused streets tor de
positories for rubbish and refuse, and
are partially excusable, since during
cold weather it is not particularly de
trimental to health. But such refuse
should not be permitted to remain in
the town during warm weather, as it
breeds disease and endangers the
health of the ieeple.
There should be a general cleaning
up begun at once, and if people will
not do it voluntarily, they shouid be
forced by the authorities to do so. We
cannot afford to have disease breed
and some epidemic originated for lack
of cleanliness. Since there is no public
crematory for disposing of garbage, it
would Dot be amiss for the city au
thorities to permit rubbish to be
burned in the street during certain
hours when there would he no danger
of fire. It would more effectually dis
pose of the rubbish to have it burned
than to have it carted out on the beach
to lay and rot and create a stench that
would be obnoxious all summer.

LIFE IN MANILA.
George Dnfnr Writes an Interesting;
Letter From the Seat of War.
Frank Menefee received a letter a
few days ago from George Dufur, who
has a position in the office of the pro
vost maishal at Manila. The
letter is dated February 17th, and
among other things George says.
It. is very hot here, but the warm
season is just coming on. The winter
or cold season lasts until the middle of
this month, when it begins to turn
warm. The seasons change here in
just aoout a day. Here we dress in
white clothes and I have six suits, one
for each day. A suit costs $5.35 Mexi-
can money, or $2.60 American money.
The Philippine horses are a sight.
When 1 first saw them standing around
the river banks I tbougbt they were
jack rabbits, they looked so little
Tbe principal beasts of burden are the
"water buffalo," and they are fine
work animals, weighing perhaps 1200
pounds each, and are the most trusty
beasts I ever saw. ' Only one is used
as a team but be will draw a big load.
Tbe Manila street car is a curiosity
also. They are little affairs and two
small horses are hitched to a car until
tbey come to a hill, when a driver at
taches a third, then by pounding of
whips by two or three natives and tbe
yelling of the passengers in the car
they start up the hills in a run. Tbe
car usually goes off the track every
few hundred yards, then all hands get
out and put it on and go ahead.
There is a rather peculiar custom
among the people here of always turn
ing to tbe left when they meet a per
son on the street, and In consequence
we Americans collide with them very
often, for we always go to the right,
I am working in Brigadier-General
Hug-hes' office, and draw $25 American
money a month extra pay, and have
to pay $30 Mexican for board as I can
not eat with my company, it being
stationed so far away. i Five dollars
of our money is equal to $10.60 Mexi
can, so I can save $10 a month out of
my extra pay. My work Is not heavy
or regular, but I haye to be on duty
pretty closely.
The sidewalks here are built of stone,
as are most of the buildings, and the
walks are just wide enough for 'one
person. The buildings are low and
compactly built so as to withstand
the earthquakes which are frequent,
The churches are very solid structures,
and are mlnlture forts, built so that In
case of an attack the iron doors can be
closed from witnin and no one can en
ter when the doors are shut.
Manila has a population of about
400,000, and the people are decidedly
mixed, mostly Spaniards, Chinese and
native a uipinos xnere are some
50,000 Chinese here and they are as a
rule very different from tht Chinese at
home, being large, well developed fel
lows.
I saiv the Spanish gunboats that our
hero George Dewey sunk, and they are
a terrible sight with their old black
tubs just sticking out of the water,
They were certainly death traps for
the Spanish sailors.
I saw something of the first battle
with the Filipinos. It was on the 4th
when tbe enemy tried to force our
lines. As the orders at one particular
point, a bridge across a small stream,
were strict, that no armed party be
permitted to pass either way, when
three - natives, two soldiers and a
lieutenant of Aguinoldo's army, tried
to cross, they were killed. All at
once our whole line was attacked.
Next morning our boys went to
slaughtering them, and tbey scattered
in eyery direction. And when Dewey's
big guns becan playing on the build'
ings there was terrible destruction,
and some of the buildings looked like
nothing but stone quarries.
I have been out on the field of battle
two days, but I never got a scratch.
I was not supposed to be with the com
mand, but here in tbe office, still I get
out with the boys whenever I can. It
makes one feel queer at first to hear
the big mauser bullets flying over his
head, but we get used to it after a
while and don:t mind It much.
