The Astoria t city council has just
sate red into a contract with the West
Shore Mills Co. to furnish arc lights
for lighting the city at $7 50 a light
per month. If The Dalles could get
such a rate as that its etreets would
never be in darkness.
The experiment of running , logs
from lVlatolis river down to the De
schutes is proving a success. The
- drive that was started last winter is
dqw within 30 miles of the free bridge,
where the new mill is to be construct
ed, and is moving at the rate of three
miles a day.
' The Dalles cannery has been over
hauled and put in first class repair for
ODerations. but as vet there has not
been a sufficient number of fish pre
sented to justify starting the machin
ery. It is not expected there will be
any great number of fish until the
river rises.

: A new fruit pest has made its ap
pearance in several orchards in the
vicinity of Salem. It is a small bug,
similar to what is known as the Dea
weeyil, and works on the buds of new
grafts. S. P. Kimball, a Polk county
orchardist, says the insect seems to be
the same as one that made its appear
ance several years ago, and after
alarming ' fruitgrowers disappeared
without doing any damage.
The Bingham warrant case, in which
Judge Boise some time ago granted a
perpetual injuctioo restraining County
Clerk Hall from issuing a warrant for
(180 to George G. Bingham, fo ser
vices in collecting delinquent taxes
for Marion county, has been appealed
to the supreme court. Judge Boise
held that the county court had no
power to employ an attorney to collect
taxes as that was one of the duties of
the sheriff.
' Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hogan, of
Harney county, arrived here last night
from Corvallis where they have been
visiting the past week. Mr. Hogan has
been engaged in stock raising for a
number of years in Crook and Harney
counties, and says a week's visit to
Willamette valley during this time of
the year should convince any bunch
grasser that east of the Cascades is the
best part of Oregon, and should make
bim content to stay where he can see
the sun once in a while.

Prineville wants the best mail ser
vice possible, and from the following,
which is taken from the Journal, it ap
pears Moro is favored as a distributing
point: "Ex-sheriff Driver.of The Dalles,
spent several days in town during tbe
week trying to induce our people to
oppose the plan to change the Dalles
and Prineville mail route so that it
shall run between Prineville and Moro.
Without regarding the interests of any
locality the line should be run on the
route that affords tbe quickest and
best mail facilities. If this can be ac
complished by making Moro the ter
minus it ought to be done at once."

visiting in Moro, returned home Sun
day. Mrs. Filioon intends moving to
Moro in about three months, or as soon
as a suitable residence can be secured.
Houses are very scarce there at present

who otherwise have had to pass by.
The same is true of The Dalles.

THE CRACKER TRUST.
The Portland Telcram Tells Bow It Was
Formed on the Voast.
From New Jersey, tbe land of trusts
and tbe home of the mosquito, comes
the news that the Pacifij Coast Biscuit
company has been orgauized. The
capital stock is placed at $4,000,000.
Of this amount $1,-00,000 is preferred
stock, with 7 per cent cumulative divi
dends. The incorporators' names are
foreign to this part of tbe country,
and the whole business sounds a long
way from home.
For four months Eastern promoters
have been oq the coast quietly work
ing on the organization. During
February options were taken on all if
the cracker factories on the Pacific
coast. These options were good until
May 1. The promoters were here
several times, but all returned to San
Francisco two or three weeks ago.
Mr. Wittenberg and some of the others
interested on the upper coast followed
them there, by request, and it is there
that the work of forming tbe combine
has been perfected.
There is much to do in a work of
this kind, and it became evident to tbe
promoters that May 1 would get here
before the cracker truPt did. They
went to work and had tbe options re
newed, good until June 1, and then
tbey were easy.
In the meantime, the man at the
other end has not been idle. Four
million dollars worth of stock required
a good many dollars to handle. Of
course, there was to be plenty of
water in it, but water can be raised on
the coast or anywhere. Tbe cash man
put in good time in .New York and
other eastern rroney centers, and
secured the necessary amount, which
has not been given out yet. It is un
derstood that it is sufficient to pay for
most of tbe cracker factories on tbe
coast. Some of them want stock, some
money and some water, while there
are others who, knowing what the ef
fect of mixing water and crackers is,
demand clean cash for ubelr plants.
Those who are supposed to have
looked on tbe inside think that all the
factories but one at Seattle, one at
Portland and one at San Francisco
will be closed down It is the general
opinion that tbe Portland cracker
factory will be the one operated
here. Telegram.
BOAT RAILWAY ABANDONED.
The Most Feasible Improvement Is a Port
age Koad.
Capt. Harts, superintendent of river
and harbor Improvements on the
Pacific coast, left here this morning
by bo t for Portland, after having
made an inspection of tbe right of way
for the proposed boat railway between
i Celilo and The Dalles From statt-
ments made by tbe captain it was in
i ferred that tbe government has aban
doned tbe idea of constructing
tbe boat railway, he having stated
that the money appropriated to com
mence work bad reverted back into
tbe treasury, hence there is no avail,
able funds with which to prosecute
construction.
When asked what was his ideaof the
best method of overcoming tbe ob
structions to navigation at this place,
he stated that it was by tbe building
of a portage road Ship railways, be
said, were largely experimental and
could not as yet be considered a success.
The damage to river steamers from
being taken of the water and car
ried overland any distance would al
ways be great. Tbe jar of the cars on
which they were carried would cause
tbe seams in tbe hull to open, and the
expense of keeping boats thus handled
in repair would always be very great,
so it is a question if boat owners would
allow their vessels) carried over a ship
I railway were it built by tbe govern
ment. Tbe expense of operating would
be much greater than that of operat
ing a portage road, including the
loading and unloading of freight. For
these reasons he is of tbe opinion that
the ship railway will never be built.
As to a portige road, Capt Harts be
lieves congress would readily make an
appropriation, since title to mopt of
the right of way has been secured, and
it could easily be constructed in one
year, and could be in operation in
time to handle the crop of 1900, if an,
appropriation could be got through
congress at tbe next session.
MOONSHINERS AT WORK.
1 hey Were Doing Business In Skagit
County, Washington.
A gang of moonshiners was un
earthed by the revenue officers near
Hamilton a few days ago, according
to George H. Bacon, who has just re
turned from Skagit county, says the
New Whatcom Reveille. The gang
was comprised of three men, natives
of South Carolina, and the tendency
to make illicit whisky was in their
blood. They owned a small ranch on
the hillside about three miles south of
Hamilton. It was a wild-looking place
where uo one would look for a ranch,
and the still was yet more cleverly
concealed. On the hillside above
their cabin a k-r was imbedded in a
small mountain stream. It was, to the
casual observer, he.-e for no special
purpose, but a small hosecarae out of
the bottom of the keg and found ita
way under the ground to the ranchers'
roothouse. The roothouse was low
and apparently of tbe most ordinary
character.' A small pine box careless
ly thrown upon tbe roof has since been
found to conceal the chimney that
might on a roothouse have caused com
ment. Inside was the moonshiners'
usual parapbenalia of stove, coppsr
kettle, jugs, etc., and at night the box
was removed from tbe chimney and i
opt ratio js began. It is said tbe qual
ity was not extra, but the Indians
thought it was fine. The moonsbin ers
sold most of their products to the
Indians, and were making money when
the revenue officers interfered. The
arrests were made several days ago,
and It was then said their crime was
selling whisky to Indians. Tbe fact
that they were also moonshiners has
since become generally known.
A Kestaarant on Wheels.
The "Royal Blue" dining car line of
the O. R. & N. was inaugurated yes
terday, when No. 500 was attached to
the Spokane train and run through

somest cars that ever appeared on tbe
Pacific coart. The car is large and
very roomy, and rests on fix-wheeled
trucks. It is painted a dark blue on
tbe outside, while the interior is
finished in natural oak with blue and

Kelby, formerly with the Great North
ern, says he has the best chef who ever
put up a meal, hence be is proud of the
service he will be able to render the
public. Another car exactly like No.
500 will soon arrive from the east,
then one will be put on each division
of the O. R. & N., add through pas
sengers will not be under the neces

A New Idea in Farming.
G. F Ross and A. H. Campbell, at
the depot, believe they have solved
tbe probl'-m of irrigation in the arid
rpgions of Eastern Oregon, that is
when applied to certain elapses of
vegetation, and are making prepara
tions to put their theory into practice
in another year, not bavicg conceived
tbe idfa in time to be of use tbis sea
son. Tbey propose to overcome the
lack of rain fall by planting potatoes
and onions in altercate rows, and
their theory is that the onions will get
into the potato eyes and make tbem
shea sufficient tears to irrigate the
ground and produce immense crops.
They have another idea that is quite
original, and that is to plant egg plant
and milk weed in close proximity,
they believing the crop raised will be
custard pies Of course tbey are only
experimental farmers, out tbey have
the utmost confidence in their theor
ies, aud expect to reap a fortune next
year out of tbeir agricultural experi
ments. However they will both retain
tbeir positions in tbe O. R. & N. of
fice for tbe present and not rely en
tirely upon agricultural.

A Challenge.
There promises to be some lively
base ball contests here in tbe near
future, as tbe national game is grow
ing in favor among the athletes of The
Dalles. Though the most interesting
game of the season will probably grow
out of the following challenge that is
self explanatory.

Cupid's work is done when the baDy
comes. The soft, little, clinging, helpless
mite is the crown of love. Its coming
marks the completion of Cupid s
object Cupid brings two
loving souls together the
baby holds them together.
A woman is never so
womanly, so beautiful, so
happy as when she is a
mother. Yet motherhood
is denied to some women
and feared by others.
The fear of motherhood is rapidly passing
away and nothing has done so much to
drive it away as the record of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
' Dr. Pierce has held that danger and pain
at the time of parturition were really un
necessary and unnatural and that if every
woman were healthy and strong as Nature
meant her to be this function wonld be per
formed painlessly and safely. The abuse
of centuries of corsets of health destroy
ing inactivity of de
bilitating artificial life
have made it impos
sible for some women
to fully return to the
perfect healthfulness
of a natural state but
every woman may be
helped to a large de
gree. The organs di
rectly involved may
be strengthened, pu
rified, invigorated for
the time' of trial and
for this purpose Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription has been
used with success
by hundreds of thou
sands of women. It
is the product of the
skill and experience
of a regularly gradu
ated physician a
skilled specialist who
for over thirty years has successfully
treated the diseases of women.
Unlike many modern medicines Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription contains no
whisky, alcohol, sugar, syrup, opium or
narcotic of any kind and its use does not,
therefore, create a craving for stimulants.
Mrs. Annie Blacker, of 639 Catherine St., Syra
cuse. N. Y., writes: " Your medicines have done
wonders for me. For years my health was very
poor; I had four miscarriages, bat since taking
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and ' Fa
vorite Prescription ' I have much better
and I now have a fine healthy baby."

Somewhat Improved Over Those of a
Week ago.
The weekly bulletin issued by the
agricultural department at Washing
for the week ending May 1st, says:
The week has been exceptionally
favorable for planting, germination
and growth of corn. Rapid progress
with planting has been made in the
states of the Ohio, central Missis
sippi and lower Missouri valleys,
and with favorable conditions plant
ing will begin this week in Iowa.
About half the crop has been planted
in Kentucky and West Virginia and
planting Is nearly completed in Ten
nessee and Arkansas. In the Southern
states corn has made good growth and
is being cultivated; some complaints
of damage from insects are reported
from the Gulf states, where, however,
good stands are reported.
Further improvement is general
in the condition of winter wheat, but,
as stated in previous bulletins, much
of tbe crop has been winter killed,
particularly over the northern por
tions of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and
northwestern Ohio, and the southern
portions of Michigan, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota. A marked improvement
in winter wheat is reported from the
Ohio valley, Tennessee, and the Mid
dle Atlantic states. The crop is now
heading in the Southern states, Ala
bama aod Texas reporting the stalk
very short. On tbe Pacific coast the
outlook for wheat continues favorable
in Oregon and California, but it is less
promising in Washington.
Eirly seeded spring wheat is coming
uo to good stands and xith vigorous
plant over the southern portion of the
spring wheat region. seeding is
about finished over the southern por
tions of Minnesota and North Dakota,
but has been delayed in the Red River
valley and Oregon, and that sown in
Washington is coming up slowly.
In the Southern states the oat crop
has made favorable progress and tbe
outlook is generally promising, al
though heading short in some sections.
A general improvement is reported
from the Ohio valley and Middle At
lantic states. In the more northerly
section seeding continues under con
ditions favorable for rapid germina
tion .
A MINNEAPOLIS MAN SUICIDES.
Unable to Fill a Position Be Shoots Him
self. Mr. W. E. Gooding, of Minneapolis,
who has been in Walla Walla off and
on for several weeks committed sui
cide this morning at 6 o'clock in an
out-house back of Mrs. Snyder's lodg
ing house on East Main street, by
shooting himself square in the fore
head with a 44 calbre pistol, says tbe
Walla Walla Statesman of the 8th.
He was formerly a railroad man but of
late years has been very prominent in
politics in Minnesota where be leaves
a wife and several children. He also
has a brother engaged in business In
St. Paul. Por several days he had
been suffering from nervous prostra
tion and complained that he could not
sleep.' This morning he arose in ap
parently good spirits and walked out
to the outhouse, closed the door and
did the deed. Tbe shot was not
beard by anyone and be was first dis
covered by tbe gardener who tried to
enter the house, and was found dead
with a very large hole in bis forehead.
In his room he left a letter to tbe
coroner, stating bis reason for killing
himself was that he felt literally unfit
for anything and did not feel com
petent to fill any position. He bad
plenty of money in his pockets.
Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Micbael Curtain, Plain field, 111.,
makes tbe statement tbat she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for a month by ber family
physician, but grew worse. He told
ber' she was a hopeless victim of con
sumption and that no medicine could
cure ber. Her druggist suggested Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consump
tion; she bought a bottle and to her
delight found herself benefited from
first dose. She continued its use and
after taking six bottles, found herself
sound and well; now does her own
housework, and is as well as she evi r
was. Free trial bottles of this Great
Discovery at Blakeley & Houghton's
drugstore. Only 50 cents and $100,
evtry bottle guaranteed.
Giant Asparagus.
Considerable has been said in Port
land papers recently about the big as
paragus raised in tbe Willamette val
ley, but they havne't anything down
there that can hold a candle to some
un exhipition at the American market.
It is a bunch of 14 stalks and weighs
H pounds. The largest stalk is 27
inches long and 4i inches in cir
cumference. This splendid sample
of asparagus was raised by C.
D. Moore, at White Salmon, and
while it is somewhat larger than what
be puts on the market regularly it is
of the variety of which be is raising
tons, and which is kept regularly at
tbe American market that has proyen
so popular with Dalles epicures.
Union labor organizations are more
active in Portland at present than for
many years past, and a general move
toward getting wages raised ia in
progress. Carpenters, hardwood
finishers, mill men, cooks and waiters
have revived their old organizations,
and are arranging to demand better
pay for their work. The carpenters
recently made a demand on contractors
for an increase to take effect May 1st,
but have extended the time so that
contractors could complete buildings
now under construction, after which
the latter have agreed to establish a
schedule of $3 for nine hours work.
The committe on advertising and
promotion, national editorial enter
trinment, proposes to get up iilustra
trations and descriptive matter adver
tising various sections of Oregon, and
have tbem made up in plate form to be
distributed through the United States
prior to tbe coming of tne association
to Portland. For each cut and article
of 300 words it is proposed to charge
$50. Such illustrated articles would
give Oregon a wide advertisement.
Could not The Dalles spend S50 in
this way to good advantage?
The Dalles is as good a town as there
is in Eastern Oregon, but it has all
the natural facilities for being the best.
All it needs is a little more push and
enterprise. This will be bad If tbe
people will get together and put every
proposition that proposes to benefit
tbe place. Tbe way to get together
is to attend tbe meeting at Ihe Club
Saturday night. Let all turn out to
the progressive meeting.
