The move set on foot by the Oregon-
ian to raise funds with which to errect
a monument to the Oregon soldiers
who fell in the Phillippine war is in
deed commendable, and should meet
hearty response from all who can
afford to donate to such a fund. It is
proposed that the monument shall
have engraved on it the names of all
those of the Oregon regiment who
died In the Philippines, and it will be
j a splendid tribute to their memory.
We may possibly be lacking in pa
triotism in this community, for so far
as Is known there Is no one here who
is anxious to enlist in the army when
a call shall be made for volunteers to
go to the Philippines, though when
the call for volunteers to fight with
Spain was made,. Wasco county sent a
fine body of men to the front. When
the boys who went over there last
year come back and tell what a de
lightful place the archipelago is possi
bly there will be a little mdre enthus
iasm and possibly there will be less.

in Portland are to the effect that the

should be given a spread and also a

be made to realize what a splendid
place thts is. If they are favorably
impressed with the city, they will
give The Dalles a big boom in their
papers when they get home.

he exclaimed: "Thank God, we are
not to blame for this!"

grain crops throughout the state. It
Is as follows:
" ' WESTERN OREGON.

.has been of great benefit to vegetation-
'The soil is in prime condition and
rapid' growth in all crops prevails.
Fall-sown wheat is heading and
spring-sown grain Is growing rapidly
Clover is ready to cut and haying is
general. The reports indicate tb at the
hay crop will be the best that has
been cut for many years. Hops are
making rapid growth. Spraying has
commanced in jards of ' the .better
class. Garden produce is making
rapid growth. Early potatoes are In
bloom and late-planted potatoes have
tops above the ground. Corn' is mak
ing good growth. ..
The fruit -prospects are good in
Jackson, Josephine and .Curry coun
ties, fair In Douglas and Coos,' and
poqr In the Willamette valley and in
Lincoln, Tillamook and Clatsop coun
ties. In the poor districts few prunes
remain on the trees. Bartlett pear
trees are nearly bare. Peaches are

WAS A GREAT. SHOW.

ntrtalners.
Women never undertake to do a
thing and fail, and when it was an
nounced a few weeks ago that the fair
sex of this city had determined to give
a lady minstrel show all were con
vinced that It would indeed be some
thing out of the ordinary, but few ex
pected such a marked success as the
per ormance at toe vogt Wednesday
night proved to be.
The curtain raised while Baldwin's
orchestra rendered a splendid selec
tion, and to many the music rendered
br these gentlemec was a happy sur
prise, lor it was tneir urst appearance
in the city, and much credit is due
Mr. Baldwin for having organ
Ized an orchestra composed of such
skilled musicians. The first number
was "Ben Bolt" by a quartet of dark
faced " artists, and after that the real
fun of the evening begun. The six-end
ladies were merciless in their jokes
and hit everybody, propounding quea
tions that were unanswerable except
on such an occasion. Their hits were
all new and thrown out with as little
concern as If it were everyday con
versation.
Interspersed between the jests dur
ing the first part were a number of
specialties, all of which were com
mendable, but the most attractive
number as, "I Loves Ma Honey" by
the "Nightingales," two little tots
who had every appearance of having
grown up way down south. The
grand finale by tne entire company
consisting of some 50 ladles and girls.
all waving flags was a pretty slght.and
caused the audience to go wild.
The grand olio of novelties began
with an overture by the orchestra,
then two little "blackbirds" appeared
on the stage and amused the audience
with a number of pickaninny antics.
Another very attractive feauture of
this part was a drill executed by eight
young ladies, neatly costumec and
styling themselves "Company L.
But the most attractive 'was the clos
Dumber, "A Street Scene in Dixie,"
when all took part, and some very ex
cellent dancing and singing was exe
cuted.
Throughout the performance the
ladies appeared perfectly at home in
their several characters and one wit
nessing ' the entertainment would
readily have believed they were pro
fessionals instead of amateurs.
Beware of the' Bilk.
' Bilks are about the country working
their nefarions schemes on people.
One of the worst frauds Is the patent
right business in the hands of un
scrupulous strangers, who are here
today and yonder tomorrow. Only a
few weeks since a sharper came to a
Marlon county farmer and showed him
a band-sprayer, a tin contrivance for
squirting water from a tub or bucket
upon trees. The sharper told the un
suspecting farmer that be would give
him a patent right to Yamhill,. Mar
lon, Benton and Polk counties for the
exclusive sale of the sprayers provided
the farmer would buy a case of the
squirters." Believing be had a good
thing, and that he could double his
money on the investment, the farmer
paid the sharper $4& and the latter
left after promising ' to write,., etc.
Later on the farmer took some of his
tin fixing and started out, Only to find.
that every hardware store bad them
and retailed 'them for $1.25, exactly
what he", paid , for ' tbiem. , But the
sharper cleared out, -and his present
address is not known, and the farmer
is trying to work, his stock of tin
sqnlrteta off at cost, and thus get his
money back.. For the time thus con
sumed he expects no remuneration.
and could he afford it, would doubtless
like to hire some able '.bodied young
man with needle-toe shoes to kick him
for being such a rank sucker. Eugene

Is It Malaria or Alum? '
Languor, loss of appetite, indiges
tion ard often feverish ness are the
common symptoms of a physiological
condition termed "malaria." - All
these symptoms may be and frequently
are the effects of the use of alum bak
ing powders, in food making. There
is no question about the poisonous ef
fect of alum upon the system. It ob
structs digestion, prostrates the nerves,
coagulates' and devitalizes the blood.
All this has been "made clear, thanks
to physicians, boards'bf health, and
x "J"- f
lous to tne neaitn community -'does
the eminent head of the University of
Pennsylvania, Dr.. Barker, consider
the alum baking powders, that he
says "their sale should be prohibited
by law." . . : :

' A pure cream of tartar7 baking, pow

be nsed, ought to cost about forty five

home he will have girdled the globe
He arrived in New York Tuesday
night on the Prince line steamer,
Spartan Prince, from Naples, and is
one of the first American soldiers from
a Western volunteer regiment to reach
that city from the Philippines.
He served eight months at Manila,
when he was taken sick and received
from the government a ticket home by
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's
vessels. He decided, however, that as
he had already covered a good part of
the world's circumference in journey
ing from Oregon to Manila, he would

by the French MeSsagarles Maritime

to bis aid and provided passage to

Warm and Hearty
When the volunteers leflj The Dalles
tbey were given a splendid farewell,
but the people here desire to give
them a more cordial welconje on their
return, vhat to do for tyeir enter
tainment is therefore uppermost in
the minds of their friends shere. To
be sure, the city will receive them in
an appropriate manner when they ar
rive, bnt this will not suffice) to show
the full appreciation of our .patriotic
people; something more thana home
coming reception is desired by a great
many residents of the town and vloin
Uy. ' ,
Portland Is arranging for am excur
sion to the mouth of the ri ver to
receive the regiment as it enters the
Columbia, and It would be a pt;ia5iU
feature if The Dalles could be', repr
sen ted In the excursion by a distinc
tive Dalles crowd. If the rivejr shall
have gone down by the time &f their
arrival so that the boats canN pass
through the locks It would be a Splen
did thing to get the Regulator to make
a trip to Astoria to welcome them. " It
would seem to the boys as If they were
actually at home if they were met
at the mouth of the Columbia by the
Regulator so familiar to all of them,
loaded with Wasco county people. It
would be a reception that would suit
them better than anything else.
There Is little doubt butBll the people I
the boat could carry would make the
trip if such an excursion were. given
Let those who are in harmony with
the move signify their willingness to
go, and tben arrangements win pe
made with the D. P. & A. N. Co. for
the use of the boat. ? " "
Don't Go to Alaska. "
This is the advice which J.k W. Wil
son, who has iu9t returned from a
year's stay at Dawson, gives all who,
except they have plenty' of 'money and
are prepared to speculate.' ' Mr: . Wil
son says emphatically that Alaska is
no place for a poor man, or one with a
small amount of capital,- for the' time
has passed when a prospector can go
out and In a few days locate, a paying
claim, and as to securing a position to
work for wages, the opportunities are
limited, for there are-a dosenmen
there for every job that offers any
thing above an actualjiving. For the
man with $15,000 to 120,000 to Invest
Mr. Wilson says the districts i of
Alaska offer opportunities that . prob
ably -cannot be found e'sewhere. A
person with that amount of capital can
go to Dawson, . and by watcning bis
chances may purchase a claim from
which he- will ' take hundreds of
thousands - of .- dollar, -for there are
always miners who have made what
the want and are ready to sell but and
eave, but they will not sell for a song.
Mr. Wilson spent a year In the Klon
dike region, and for a "time was. em
ployed' at ,$1V a" day, but says his
Alaskan trip was not profitable, he
having made little more than expenses.
He would . therefore - advise 'all wbo
batre only limited meaos' to not ven
ture making a trip to the far north. '
