th ere will be no activity in the wool
market before July or August, aod
that when the market opens the price

tate the price.

A party of ladies,, Mesdames S. A
Hill, A.,M. Valentine and G. R. Craw-
ford.all of New York.. crne up yester
day on the boat from Portland,' and
took the train last night for the east.
They have' been ''making an extended
tour of the west, and said they saw
nothing on their entire journey that
was more attractive than the scenery
along the Columbia river.
Whenever there is a little railroad
move on the north side ol tne Co

tative of his appears in this vicinity

few days since surveyors, who are sup
posed to be in the employ of the North
ern Pacific, pitched their tent across
the river and began work, and yester
day E. B. Seabrook, Mohr's . engineer
was here. What it signifies nobody
able to found out, but It is presumed
be a more to head off the portage road
contemplated by Blalock, Mariner and
others. -
What is the river going to do is a
question that is agitating the people
of The Dalles at present. There is
enough snow in the Rocky mountains
now to bring the Columbia above the
1894 mark if it should all go off at once,
but conditions are rather, favarable,
and It Is to be hoped they will remain
so. The snow in the mountains is
packed very solid, and unless the
weather should turn very warm it will
not melt rapidly, though should warm
south winds prevail for a month the
thaw will be very rapid, and there is
little telling how high the water might
be.
Ralph D. Wiatler, who was wounded
in Sunday's engagement in the Philip

a saddler in troop K, Fourth cavalry
at the Presido, San Francisco, about
lB months ago. ' Tbis makes the third
time he has been wounded. The first
time he was shot in the breast. He
recovered from it and reported to his
troop for duty. .H) was again, wounded,
this time receiving a saber wound in
the leg. He was sent to the hospital,
but as soon as . he was able to get
around he again joined his company.
In General Otis' report of the casual
ties of . Sunday's engagement , his
name again appears. This time it is
not known how badly he is injured.
Mr. Butts' Condition.
The many friends of Mr. Butts will
be pleased to learn that the injuries he
sustained yesterday were not so serious
as at first they were thought to be.
He soon regained consciousness after
being taken to his home, and his
physician found his wounds to be a
slight abrasion of the scalp, a cut on the
iiose and s- fracture of the collar bone.
As soon as the bone knits, Mr. Butts
will be able to be out. The team that
ran over him was from the Wilson
stable, and had escaped from the hos
tler while being bitched to a rig.
Since 1 o'clock today Mr. Butts'
condition has somewhat changed from
what it was this morning, when the
above was written. He Is suffering

I FATAL ACCIDENT AT PENDLETON.
' J. M. Kothrock Run .Down by an ; Engine
and Killed.
A heartrending accident happened
at 15 minutes to 11 o'clock on Sunday
foronoon in the O. R. &. N. yard of
this city, by which Jessie M. Rothrouk
was run over by an engine and dine!
soon after from his "injuries. The
accident happened about 100 yards
east of the passenger depot and it sent
a thrill of horror through nearly 100
people who witnessed it.
The westbound train was late and a
large crowd bad congregated at the
depot. Mr. Kothrock was going along
the main track, and in endeavoring to
get out of the way of the passenger
train, which he was watching, stepped
backward onto the sidetrack, stumbl
ing and falling as he did so. The yard
engine unfortunately chanced to be
backing along just at that moment.
and before the victim could recover
his footing the engine passed over him,
crushing the bones and muscles of both
legs and nearly severing them, one be
low and the other above the knee.
Mr. Rothreck was ' hurriedly con
veyed to the county hospital, where
Dr. C. J. Smith, assisted by Drs. Cole,
Vincent, Martin and others attended
him. The attending surgeons realized
that nothing could be done to save the
man's life, so they devoted their
energies to making his closing hours
painless. Mrs. Roth rock and the
children were sent for and were with
him .to the last. He . was conscious
almost up to the hour of death and
conversed with those about him as to
how the accident happened. It was
about 2 o'clock in the afternoon when
ho breathed his last.
Deceased was familiar to many of
this city, having come here eight
months ago from Milton., and devoted
his time . to making a livelihood for
his family by peddling vegetables and
fruit. He .leaves a large family in
indigent circumstances. Cast 1 Ore

THE KIVKR GIVES) CP ITS DEAD.
The Body of Harper Hansen Recovered
From the Columbia. '
Yesterday morning the body of a
dead man floating in the river at the
boat landing at Hood River was rescued
by parties who notified coroner Butts.
Mr. Butts went to Hood River on the
afternoon train, and held an Inquest
over the remains, the verdict of the
jury being as follows:
"Hood Riveh, April 25, 1899.
We, the jury empaneled by the cor
oner of Wasco county, Oregon, dnd
from the evidence before us that the
body now before us is that of Harper
Hansen, who was drowned on August
14, 1898." V.
The body was. Identified by J. E.
Jacobsen, stepfather of the deceased,
as that of Harper Hansen, by the
clothing and a purse that was found
in one of the pants pockets.
Mr. Hansen was drowned on Au
gust 14th of last year while crossing
the Columbia in a small boat in com
pany with Mr. Jacobsen and another
man. When they were n earing White
Salmon they were run into by the
steamer Sarah Dixon, and their boat
was cnt in two. It is thought Mr.
Hansen was caught in some of the
wreckage and carried to the bottom,
and that his body was brongbt to the
surface by the recenfcriseof the river.
The body was very badry decomposed,
being only' the skeleton held together,
by the clothing.' The remains wore
taken to White Salmon for interment.
THE CODLIN MOTH.
Now Is the Proper Time to Exterminate
This - Enemy ot: the Apple.
This is the season of the year when
toe codlin moth begins issuing from
the cocoons in which they have been
encased during the winter and begin
laying eggs that produce the little
worm which is so destructive to the
apples. It is therefore the proper
time for orchardlsts to begin waging
on . tne pests. Mr. scnaono, a
ember of the state horticultural
, has giyen the question of deal
1th these pests considerable at-
rtentlon,and has found that the prope
time to begin dealing with them is
when they make their first appearance
in the spring. The moth makes its
appearance with the first warm days of
spring, and as soon as it comes out of
the cocoon begins laying eggs, and as
they brood three times during the
season, the killing of one moth means
the destruction of no less than 300
pests. The moth has rather peculiar
habits, which if studied by the fruit
grower will aid him materially in de
stroying them. The eggs are deposit
ed in cracks of buildings, bark of trees
and in fruit boxes, where they incu
bate and come forth, full grown moths.
These, within a few days after they
are batched, fly forth and deposit eggs
In fruit blossoms that produce the lar
vae which injures the fruit. Mr.
Scbanno suggests that orchardlsts be
gin now waging war on the pests, by
burning all rubbish that has accumu
lated about orchards, such as prooo
ings and old boxes,, and that fruit
houses be closed during the night, all
openings to them being covered- with
wire netting that will: beep the moth
from coming out, and that the moth
found In the bouses be killed each
morning.
As the moth propoxate In fruit boxes
it would be well to either destroy all
boxes that have been used, or shut
them in close rooms ' and fumigate
them. There is a preparation known
as Johnson's Sulphuric Fumigator,
that is believed to be death to all in
sects, and if used freely in fruit houses
would probably prove effectual in de
stroying the codlin moth It is sold
by druggists, and might prove bene
ficial if fruit growers' would adopt its
use. At all events, If fruit raisers
would free their orchards of moth, now
is the time for tbem to begin the war
against them, for one killed now is
equivalent to 200 or 300 killed later in
the season.

SOCTHEKJi LYNCHING.
The Atlanta Constitution Justifies
Last
Sunday's Crime.
ine norrioie murrder of the negro
Hose by an enraged Georgia mob
last Sunday.cannot but call forth cen
sure but the severest criticism will
never stop such outbreaks of violence,
for the crime he committed is one that
law can hardly reach, and so long as
the colored population of the Southern
slates persist in such diabolical deeds,
just so long will lynch law be resorted
to. Hose courted the fate he met, aod
while the act of the lynchers and the
brutality they evinced cannot be justi
fied, there is, perhaps, some excuse for
dealing out summary justice to brutes
like him. The Atlanta Constitution,
the day after the lynching, said con
cerning the deplorable event:
"The terrible expiation which Sam
Hose was forced to pay for his crime
will arouse a flood of discussion, car
ried on by those who kcu .v the facts ou
one Bide and tnnse who do not care
for the facts on the oiber. But while
the form of this criminal's punish
ment cannot be upheld, let those who
are inclined to criticise it look Into the
facts and by these facts temper the
judgment they may render. An unas
suming, industrious and hard working
farmer, after his day's toil, sat at his
evening meal. Around him sat wife
and children, happy in the presence
of the man who was fulfilling to them
every duty imposed by nature. At
peace with the world, serving God and
loyal humanity, they looked forward
to the coming day. Noiselessly the
murderer, with uplifted knife, ad
vanced and sank it to the hilt into the
brain of the unsuspecting father.
Tearing the child from the mother, be
threw it into a pool of blood oozing
from its father's wound. Then came
the culmination which has dethroned
the reason of the people of Western
Georgia during the past week. As
critics will howl about the lynching,
the Constitution will be pardoned for
stating the plain facts. The wife was
seized, choked, thrown on the floor,
where her clothing lay in the blood of
"her husband, and ravished. Remem
ber the facts. Remember the dark
night in the country. Remember the
slain husband, and, aboye ail, remem
ber that shocking degradation which
was inflicted by the black beast, his
victim swimming in her husband's
warm blood as the brute held her to
the floor. Keep the facts in mind.
When the picture is painted or the
ravisherin flames, go back and re-,
view that darker picture of Mrs. Craw
ford,, outraged in the blood of her
murdered husband."
WANT SOME PROSPERITY;
Portland Laborers Believe There Should
be a Diridins; of Profits. ' 1 ';
More prosperous times have ' served
to arouse the workingmen of the city,
says a Portland paper. The labor air
is pregnant with uneasiness, and there
are dim chances of a general strike.
Not only the mill emplopes demand
better pay, but the carpenters' union
has asked for an advance, and the
paper-hangers' union has "ratted" one
shop which refused to recognize the
union.
All these unions have lately been or
ganized. ' The old scale of wages for
paper hangers was 25 cents per hour,
or $2.25 for nine hours' work. The
union, as soon as organized, demanded
that $2.50 be declared the minimum
wages for a day's work of nine nours.
Knowing that the cost of living had
advanced, the master paper-bangers
and painters readily agreed to the ad
vance, : with the exception of one,
against whom the union has now de
clared war.
Carpenters also demand more, pay,
owing to the increased . cost of living.
Tbey now average $2 and $2.50 a day,
which they claim is lower wages than
is paid carpenters in other cities.
They hae served notice on the con
tractors that after May 1 jouroaymen
carpenters will demand $3 per day for a
full day's work.
Contractors claim that their con
tracts were on the basis of the present
wages, and that tbey cannot afford to
pay an Increape. Workmen say that
they are giving the contractors a long
notice just for this reason, and in or
der that they may. figure higher on
future contracts.
The agitation Is general In the labor
field, and some lively times may be ex
pected. ' It was not until this year that
any union could be formed with the
expectation of doing any good, owing
to the excessively dull times. But the
prosperous times have created a de
mand for labor, and the workingmen
believe it is time they also should
reap some of the benefits.
Will Be an Archbishop.
Bishop Christie, of Vancouver.B. C,
is said to have been appointed arch
bishop of this archdiocese, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Arch
bishop Gross. The appointment has
not yet been made public, but will per
haps be announced next Sunday, If not
before. '
This appointment will no doubt give
great satisfaction to the Catholic
church on the coast, and throughout
the country. It is looked upon as an
American appointment, Bishop Chris
tie being a thorough American, and
heartily in accord with the views of
Archbishop Ireland. In fact, the
newly appointed archbishop is a nep
hew of Archbishop Ireland, and is of
the same school.
Bishop Christie has been in the west
a little more than a year, and is very
popular. He Is said to be a man of
great dignity and learning, and of
considerable executive ability. Port

wandered away from Vancouver,
Wash., on the 8th of the month, was

OCR BOWLERS AT SALEM.
Though Defeated They Won Two Games
in tbe Contest.
Thursday's Salem Statesman gives
the following account of the meeting
between the D. C. and A. C bowlers
and the Illihees at Salem Wednesday

the lil'hee club bowling team of this
city defeated the Commercial club
team of Tbe Dalles in a return four
game contest on the local alley last
eyening. Each team captured two
games, but the home team won tbe
contest by 27 points.
The visitors reached tbe city on the
Roseburg mail yesterday morning and
were hospitably ' entertained and
shown about tbe city during the after
noon by members of the Salem club.
Tbey will depart for. their homes on
this morning's overland.
The game was one of Intense inter
est from start to finish and was a
splendid exhibition of the sport. The
visitors put up a very good game, but
tbe members of the Salem team
measured strength with their ad versar-
surles at The Dalles last Monday night
and when the points were counted
they learned that they had lost three
of the four games and were defeated by
total of 106 points. Tbey apparently
profited by tbe experience, and, having
determined to make a good showing
n tbe return game, labored earnestly
to achieve that result, in which they
were eminently successful, as the ap
pended detailed score of the game in

Bather Late Winter.
E. Hodges, city attorney of the town
of Prinevllle, arrived here this morn
ing, and reported rather severe
weather in the country to tbe south.
Last Tuesday morning the streets of
Prinevllle were covered with eight in
ches of snow, and in tbe surrounding
country the snow was from eight to
twelve inches. That morning the
mercury registered 20 degrees above
zero, -and a decided wlntery feeling
prevailed throughout tbe country.
Mr. Hodges says the cold spell
killed all the fruit In Crook county
and ruined vegetable gardens, though
he does not think the grain crop was
materially damaged. He says the loss
of stock in the country last winter was
not more than five per cent, but the
recent storm killed a great many
young lambs and some calves and
colts.
