AL Everdiog is building a new fish
. house on the east side of his cannery
on First street. .Heretofore the fish
. house was underneath the main floor,
. and when the water was , extremely
high it was flooded so that fish could
not be cleaned. After the new house
is completed, the washing will all be
:. on the same floor with the machinery,
hence only extreme high water can
Interfere with work.

On Wednesday evening of next
week the Degree of Honor lodge will
give a pay social, the admission being
placed at 25 cents. There will be a
program rendered , and good music
furnished for dancing..
State Fish Commissioner F. C. Reed
will arrive on the 5:30 train this even
ing and will spend tomorrow In the
city. Parties desiring to. secure fish
license should apply to Mr. Beed
while he is in the city.
The season contides. backward, but
farmers say the weather is quite favor
able for crops, as' the grain is growing
nicely, and the prospects are very good
for a heavy yield if favorable weather
shall provail during the summer.
The Portland general committee for
entertaining the National Press As
sociation has invited Hon Thomas
B. Reed.'-epeaker of the 55th congress,
to be present at the meeting In July,
and it is possible that he will attend.
'.The O. R. & N. Co. has put up signs
at either end of the Mill creek bridge
warning people of the danger of walk
ing on the high trestle. The warning
should be sufficient to keep people off
the bridge as it is Indeed a dangerous
place for pedestrians.
. For the first time la many years, no
shrimps, can be secured by Tacoma
fishermen. The supply is usually
abundant at this season, but now they
are so few dredging has been, given up.
It is believed they have been devoured
by schools of predatory fish, says the
Ledger.
The agitation of the question of
putting up a fruit cannery in The
Dailes is having a good effect. Al
ready men with means are becoming
interested in the matter and are talk
ing of investing money ia the proposi
tion. It unquestionably would be one
of the .best investments that could be
made In the city. .'. '
The ministry to which ex-Governor
Lord has been appointed seems to be
more loaded with honors than bard
cash, the salary of the minister to
Persia being only $5,000 a year, which
the Oregobian says Is little more than
the cost of living In that gay capitol,
hence there is no certainty that the
ex-governor will accept It.
Last night Columbia'. Chapter A. F.
& A. M., held an interesting meeting,
there being team work. The meeting
was attended by E. I Smith, A. S.
Blowers, G. S. Castnef ,G. E. Williams,
W. A. Slengerlandand E. E. Savage,
members of the Hood River Chapter,
who came here especially to see The
Dalles team work 'exemplified.
The improvements that have been
going on in the Columbia hotel the
past two months under the supervision
of T. J. Sbelton, are about completed,
and the house now looks like a new.
place. : The rooms have all been re
papered and painted . and look as
cheery as a May morning. Certainly
Mr. Sbelton is an expert paper hanger
and painter to be able to make such a
marked change In the appearance of a
building.
It is quite likely that the delegates
to the National Press Association who
come over the O. R. & N. line will ar
rive in The Dalles on July 3d and will
have one or two hours to view the
city. If this arrangement is made,
some arrangements must be made soon
for their enteriaiument.
Portland's common council is having
some difficulty chosing a successor to
the late Mayor Mason. It seems that
six of the councilmen want one of
their number for mayor, but as none
of them can vote for himself, the other
five bold the balance of power. It may
result In a dead-lock just like legisla
tures. .
, Yesterday a stage line was started
between Moro and Prineville that
carries passengers ' and fast freight.
This may terminate in Mora being
made the terminus of the Prlneville
mail line unless The Dalles looks well
to Its interests, and sees to it that
Prlneville Is given as good mail serv
ice from here as can be had from any
other point. -
C. G. Gary, of Seattle, a laborer, was
run over by a freight train between
8tarbuck and Grange City this morn
ing and both feet ' were fearfully
mangled.' Gary crawled on his bands
and knees nearly a mile to the graders'
camp at Grange City. He was brought
here this morning and both feet were
amputated. He is expected to die.

Railroads leading from The Dalles
into the interior would be convenien
ces, but first class wagon roads 'will be
of practical utility, and will be great
incentives toward drawing trade here,
for even the horse team comes in as a
successful competitor to the railroad.
This was pretty fully demonstrated
yesterday when two four-horse teams
loaded here with merchandise for
Scott & Co., of Grass Valley, who haye
found they can get their freight
shipped by wagon from here cheaper
than they can get it by rail.
The people of Eugene have built a
steam boat to run on the Willamette
between Portland and Eugene. The
boat made its first trio Monday, and
Eugene people are elated oyer the pos
sibilities of a reduction in freight rates
from Portland to that city, which will
certainly be realized if the merchants
of that place will give the boat thfir
patronage and not permit the railroad
to run it off the river by making cut
rates &ey must patronize (their boat
line the same as Tbe Dalles has done if
they want it to become a permanency,

country south of The Dalles, that!
should be put to use where good horses
are needed... .. . . ,
C. McPberson writes from Cross
Keys that he has finished lambing, and
bad saved 100 per cent of lambs. This
is the best report yet received from
any of the sheep raisers in the country.
Under a recent ruling of tbe war de
partment, Oregon is to be reimbursed
for the expenses of transporting to and
from their homes when the regiment
was being made up at Portland a year
ago.
The dispatches announce that
American wool is being shipped to
England, the price in Liverpool and
London being .better than anywhere
on this side of tbe Atlantic This it is
hoped will have a tendency to bring
up the price of wool here.

years, from tbe effects of a fall from
his doorstep a few days before. Donald
MoKay was perhaps the bravest and

for years the question of encourag
ing manufacturing In The Dalles hs
been discussed at length, but nothing
tangible has come out of the talk. In
reality all were willing to talk, but ap
parently a o body seemed prepared to
take hold of the proposition, or knew
what to do in order to get maoufactur
ing industries inaugurated here. It
has become such a custom .to offer in
ducements to' manufactures, that the
place that does not is overlooked by
those who have capital to Invest in
manufacturing, hence as The Dalles
has in the past had no bonus to offer,
people looking for factory sites have
passed us by. .
J..G. Farley suggests a plan for ralsr.
ing a bonus to be offered for the in
vestment of capital here that will com
mend itself to all who have an Interest
in seeing tbe town move -ahead, and it
is one that would not be burdensome
to anybody. His plan is this. 'He
would levy an assessment of one dollar
a foot on the Owners of real estate on
Second street, that is a party owning
50 feet would be expected to donate
950; then he would call on every busi
ness house in the city to donate $10
and every householder . one dollar.
This, he estimates, would raise a' fund
of 814,000. ' He would place' this
amount in the bands of a committee to
bo named by the citizens, and em'
power the committee to hold out cash
inducements to people who desired to
locate here with manufacturing plants,
For instances person haying $10,000
to Invest and would agree to put In a
815,000 plant should be given a bonus
of 85,000.
Jbvery property owner and eyery
business establishment in the city is
interested in the upbuilding of The
Dalles, and attracting here industries
that will create a payroll. Now if they
are interested to the extent that tbey
appear to be, let them show their en
terprise by donating something to
ward concerns that will be of ad'
vantage to all. The columns of the
Times-Mountaineer are open to tbe
discussion of this or any other propo
sition that has a tendency to put new
me into the community or build up
new industries.

What Can ba Doaa to faniUk a KaUabto
Markat for rraitT
Ha Editob: :
We believe the time is fully ripe for
a move to be made in the direction of
saving a portion of the hundreds of
tons of fruit in and about The Dalles
that annually go to waste. A con
servative estimate would not place the
amount' either wasted, upon a glutted
market or never gathered for want of
a market at somewhere, from., 8,000 to
$10,000. This sum distributed among
tbe producers' and wage earner of thia
community would be Of benefit' to all
the people of this municipality. ' W hat
we need is an institution that can take
the raw material and make Of it a
finished article that can wait until the
market is ready to receive it, thereby
tending to enhance tbe price of green
fruit to a paying, figure. !
How thia is to be brought about Is
the question of the hour.
As for us we believe it needs tbe
thrift, foresight, determination, and
experience of the man of business,
hence we would suggest tbat tbe pro
ducers and business men of The Dalles
and vicinity come together and for
mulate plans. Htnis can pe none it
will be a step towards prosperity. Can
we hear from the buslneas nan? What
say you? Phodvckb.

About 5 o'clock Tuesday George
McKenon met with an accident tbat
came near costing him his life. He
was somewhat under the Influence of
liquor and hired a team at Wilson's
stable to take a drive. He went ont
the road along the railroad track
above town, and when near the oil
tank the horse became frightened and
buggy and his head struck against a
rock with such violence that the skull
was fractured above the left ear.
. McKenon was brought to the Obar
hotel where Dr. Gelsendorffer. dressed
his wouods, and he was put In charge
of Mrs. Ida Crawford, a trained nuree.
The doctor does not consider his in
juries necessarily fatal, though he had a
very close call. McKenon had been em
ployed for some time caring for the
late Horace Knight prior to his death.

A novel form of insurance conceived

amount of bis salary for six weeks.
should that time be required in which
to find a new position. In case the
premium holder having lost his place,
should be offered one on trial at a Jess
amount than his former salary, tbe
difference will be made good by the
company.
That tbe scheme is not a visionary
one is shown by the fact tbat among
the stockholders of the new company
are some of the most prominent citizens
of California, including P. N. Llllen-
tbal, Louis Schloss, jr., M. H. Hecht,
F. W. Vansicklen, William Gerstle,
Charles Bishop, C. J, Crocker and N.

authorization and has secured the
right to transact business in the state'

The consigning of fruit to Chic
ago commission bouses has in
the past proven very unprofitable,.a
few shippers have realized anything
upon fruit they have shipped. A
thing that has proven . unsatisfactory
In the past should not be repeated
every year, and it is time fruit growers
began looking a little more to their
own interests. This will certainly be
a good year for them to . break away
from the commission men, because
there is a shortage in the crop east of
the Rock mountains, which will make
a demand for Oregon fruit, and will
encourage fruit dealers to buy Instead
of demanding that fruit be consigned
to them. 1 If the growers of Wasco
county will get together and have an
.understanding among themselves as to
when .they can get the largest amoift
of fruit on the market! then agree
to not consign even a single car tbey
can compel the Chicago commission
men to buy, for they want the fruit
and will have it.

A copy of the fifth blen nlal report of
the state board of horticulture has
been raceived at this office, and Is
certainly a valuable work for the
guidance of any one engaged in fruit
raising. It Is a volume of 589 pages,
Containing papers from the most suc
cessful fruit growess on the coast, also
a description of fruit pests and the
best methods for destroying them.
An edition of 4,000 of these reports
Was published and they are for free
distribution. Any person desiring a
copy may procure , one by : calling on
E. Schanno, member of. the state

Yesterday's Portland Telegram eon
talned tbe following article about
railroad surveys:
Advices from The Dalles and Wal
lula state that saaveylng parties start
ed from those places this morning,
and it is supposed they are going to
run aline for the Columbia Vslley
railroad. One party started from a
point opposite Tbe Dalles and Is work-
toward Vancouver; the other will
probably work from Wallula In a west
erly direction to the point where. the
other expedition started
"The exact course that the line will
take is not known, but It is supposed
that, it will follow very closely the
course of the river. Tbe lay of
the land on the north bank of the
Columbia is such that it will be a
comparitively easy matter to run a
railroad down that shore, tbe only bad
place being Cape Horn
"Lewis Sbelton and A. J. Glllls are
surveying the route from Tacoma in
the-direction of Vancouver. There is
some mystery surrounding their
movements, but it is supposed that
they are in the employ of the Northern
Pacific, as they are using tbe maps of
tbat company in their work. Sbelton
and Glllls made their survey by way
of Mineral, Morton and the Tllden
river to Mossy Rock,
During the last cession of congress
a franchise was granted to parties to
bridge the Columbia river at Van
eouver. In tbe franchise it was stip
ulated that work should be commenced
within two years and completed within
four years of the date of the franchise,
"The Columbia Valley railroad from
Wallula to Vancouver, and the North
ern Pacific railroad, to Portland, via
Vancouver, and the Portland, Van
couver & Yakima railroad, from the
Yakima country, would give the
Northwest, provided the Northern
Pacific is behind all these movements.
Tbey would be able to compete with
tbe O. R. tc N. Co. for a portion of the
freight from the great grain fields of
Eastern Washihgton and Oregon.
"Another theory advanced is that
the British Columbia dt Coast rallrosd
has something to do with tbe survey
being made by Sbelton and Glllls.
several years ago tnis company aecui
ed a franchise carrying with it valu
able water-front property in Seattle,
They agree to cross the Columbia at
Vancouver either by bridge or ferry,
Some persons seem to think tbat it is
this company that is now working to
ward Vancouver from .Tacoma. This
theory is very plausible, as the eom
pany will forfeit valuable properties if
work is not commenced ia a certain
time."
To add to all this mystery about
projected railroads, a party of fourteen
surveyom under Frank Gllbam ar
rived here last night and this morning
crossed over to the Washington side.
They did not state tbeir business or
where they intend beginning opera
tions, but it is presumed they are to
begin surveying a line for a portage
road ' on the north side of the river
from Rockland to a point opposite
Celilo.
DIDN'T BCAB TBS WHISTLE.
Deaf
aad Dimb Man Knocked off
the
Track Near Hood Stiver.
On.sWednesday as Engineer Evans
was pulling Jf ex. 4, and -when he had
got under good headway after leaving
Hood River, he rounded a curve and
looking ahead a few hundred feet, aaw
a man in tbe center of the track. He
whistled and rang the bell, but the
man ahead paid no attention to the
warning. Cvans applied the air
orakes, but waa too near the man to
stop the train before the engine struck
him. The train was going at tbe rate
of 40 miles an hour, and when the cow
catcher struck the fellow, he was
hurled high on the , bank, and Mr.
Evans had no idea but that the pedes
trian bad been killed. ' , :.
The engineer stopped the train as
soon as he could, and going back to
where the man lay waa 'surprised to
find him alive. .
The . man whose name Is Wm. Gil-
lette.ahd says his residence Is 61 North
First street, Portland, proved to be a
deaf mute, which accounted tor his not
having heeded the whistle when the
train approached him. He was
brought to Tbe bailee, and the agent
at M osier telegraphed to Mr. Ireland
to look after him here.. . Dr. Logan,
the company's doctor, was summoned,
bat when they began looking for tbe
man be could not be found. He had
stepped off the train when It arrived
and had started out on his own re
sources; and was not found until
ixiguiwawoman rmrmaa jncaea aim
up during the night.
Thursday Dr. Logan attended to bis
', t . . 1 J tl I
Injuries, and It waa found that they
coasisted4of a strained ankle and a
few flesh wounds on his right arm
How , be escaped instant dee'n la a
mystery. Gillette, though mute, is
able to read and write and appears to
be quite an intelligent fellow. He
says he Is a laborer and gsherman and
was out In search of employ meat.
- ... Oa ta Battle field.
Sergeant Max Bartel, of Co. L,
Second Oregon, and one of the boys
from The Dalles, wrote a letter to his
mother from Pasig, P. I., dated March
10, in which be gives a brief account
of the battles from the 13th to the date
of writing. He says at that time the
Oregon regiment waa attached to the
"Flying Column," consisting of 5,000
men, detailed to move along the foot-'
hills and destroy aha Filipino's sup
plies. On the 13th they bad a sharp
skirmish with tbe enemy, but after a
whole day's fighting and they bad
cleaned the Fillpplnos out, their en
tire loss waa one killed and five
wounded.
On the 14th the eaemy began firing
on the them at S o'clock in the morn
ing, but' their marksmanship was bad.
Tbe Americans took up a position at
Pasig on the 15, and the Filipinos,from
cover on the opposite side of the river,
kept firing on them for soma time.
dropping bullets uncomfortably close
to them, often throwing dirt all over
tbe Americans, bat finally tbe enemy
"was disloged after being shelled for a
short time. About noon tbe Second
batalllon of tbe Oregon regiment
crossed the river aad drove the enemy
away with slight loss, though the
Filipinos' loss was 40 killed. .
The lint Trala aJil.ee.
Of late there haa been moro or less
talk about a railroad from soma paint
n tbe Columbia leading to Goldendale
and Dallesitea who were up bright and
early thia moaning saw tbe first train
of the "air liaa" arrive. It steamed
up to the ferry landing oa the Wash
ington side and stopped. " Really it
was a pretty sight to see the locomo
tive and car pulling into Rockland,
pictured in their vision a thriving me
tropolis on the north bank of the river,
the big shoe factory running at full
blast, and the box factory turning out
boxes somewhat less than Mt. Hood.
But soon their picture vanished, for
the train that arrived from Goldendale
proved 'to be only a traction engine
drawing a big red wagon.
IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Driak and
Jtobaacaerjr are Piaralaat

Under recent date, a correspondent
writing from Manila has something to
Philippines pot touched upon in :he
offldal disDatches. Sneakine- of the
arrival' of one of our transport ships at
Manila he says: The Twentieth in
fantry Is here, but it is passing through
its initiatory period of "beeno jags.
and will not be worth its salt until it
has its drunk out, with a good harvest
of dellrium-tremens as a consequence.
Tbe drink known to our men
"beeno," a corruption of "Vino," is
an alcohol made from sugar-cane and
flavored with anise, and is called anis-
ado by tbe Spaniards. For ten cents
Mexican (equal to fire cents American)
one can get a drink of this brain-destroying
stuff in any of the multitude
of little Filipino joints that are to be
found in all parts of the city. Not
only is this alcohol used in anlsado,
but it is the base of imitations of cog
nac, Scotch whiskey, and other drinks,
second-hand bottles being used to aid
the fraud. It only takes two or three
drinks of this stuff to paralyze the lo
comotion of the imbiber, and to render
him a temporary maniac. When oar
troops first entered Manila every regi
ment bad several cases of delirium
from this stuff, until the men them
selves recognized it deadly nature,
yulte a Dumber of deaths and a great
deal of the sickness of the command
are directly chargeable to it. At last
its sale was prohibited, but none the
less it can be had at any joint, tbe
visits of tbe patrols being tew and far
between.
