Today Sheriff Kelly sold 100 acres of unimproved land in Hood River valley at public auction to satisfy a judgment held by M. D. Neeland, of Boston, Mass. Tee land was bid in by Mr. Neeland's attorney for 81,200. The peach crop in this section is turning out much better tban had been expected, and tbe quality is fully up to the standard. The fruit is large and of fine flavor, and is commanding a good price both here and in Portland. Frank Sayles, who escaped from tne Baker county jail last October, was caught in Weiser Sunday and Tuesday returned to Baker City, where he pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing horses and was sent to the penitentiary for two years. Columbia brewery beer has been placed on tap in the Baldwin, where it is served cool and refreshing. Mr. Baldwin certainly shows good judg ment in using the Columbia beer for i. suits tbe taste of all better tban al most any other brand. Sheriff Kelly is offering the 1697 delinquent tax roll for sale. It amounts to 86864 85, and would be a pretty good investment for some capit alist to take as it bids fair to yield 20 per cent on tbe investment. The sale will take place on August 14th, when all property listed in the sale will be sold except such as taxes are paid on - before that date. The O. R. & N Co. will sell round trip tickets Sunday only, good return ing on date of sale, to Hood River tl, to Multnomah Fall and Cascade Locks f 1.50. Arrangements have been made to have train No. 3 out of The Dalles Sunday stop at Multnomah Falls, and to bare train No. 2 out of ' Portland Sunday take up excursionists at Multnomah Falls. Reports from tbe grain fields are somewbat conflicting, and it is gener ally believed tbe damage to crops has not been so great as some anticipated. Occasionally there is a field entirely ruined, while there are others that appear to be badly burced though tbe grain is not yet injured, aud if cooler weatner should prevail for a week or two will make fair crops. At a regular meeting of Columbia " Lodifu No. 5, I. O O. F laet nigbl the following officers were installed: C. A. Borders, N. G.; U ; L. Jones, V. G. Paul K. Paulsen, sec; Simeon Bolton, Tres; O. D. Doane, War ; Geo Rueh, Coo ; L. Comini, I. G.; John Micbell, R. S. N. G.; H. Clougb. L S. N. G.; E H. Merrill. R. S. V. G ; H A. Bills, L. S. V. G. After installation the members iuduleed in feasting on ice cream. ' A good many uallesites have gone to favorite tront streams fishing, but tbe Times-Mountaineer force have found such jaunts unnecessary. Tbey ' can stay at home and bave all tbe fun they want catching eels out of water pipes. Last evening they got one somewhat smaller than a whale out of ' the pipe that leads water to the motor which furnishes power for the office. It was a fine large follow, big enough to stop the flow of water in a two Inch pipe. - Some days ago it was reported here that a number of horses had been stolen in the vicinity of Antelope, and Shot iff Kelly wrote to his deputy at that place to inquire into the truth of the statement. Tbe deputy answered nnder date of the 13th that he could not learn of any horte stealing in that section, and that none of tbe horse raisers had reported any loss. Hence it is quite evident that tbe "sagebrush angels" bave not been operating in the southern part of tbe county. ing the divinity school at Eugene, is in tbe city and conducted the services at tbo Christian church last evening Mr. Humbert states that the divinity school is in a flourishing condition. having had 26 students last year. Charles Galloway, son of Hon. Wm Galloway, register of the land office at Oregon City, spent tbe day in Tbe Dalles. Mr. Galloway graduated this vear from tbe state university, and has been sDendiner the time since school closed traveling over eastern Oregon. The old Methodist church at St Helen's, built in 1853, was destroyed by fire last Saturday morning. It was one of tbe most prominent landmarks in tbe town and its destruction is as as much regretted by the citizers of the place as though some old settler had diea. Suuday evening, W. W. Newman, of Lost River, Klamath connty, loaded bis shotgun to shoot a raooit, a a then leaned the gun up against the door. The gun fell and was di9chareed, tbe charge of shot going through a board and striking bis little girl in the head and arm. The child will recover Miss Maud Harkleroad and Miss Allia Bradlev. of La Grande, are visit iasr in the citv. the euost of Mrs. For- wood. Miss Harkleroad is a vocalist of considerable ability, and it would be a fomnate thing for The Dalles if she could be induced to give an en tertainmnt ht-re similar to tbe one recently given at La Grande. Governor Geer and staff were given a reception Saturday evening by Governor Gage's staff inSai Francisco then left for Oregon. The governor was down to the bay city to welcome the Oregon bos home from Manila, and to arrange if possible to have tbe soldiers mustered out at Portland. Hon. E. O. McCoy, who is about as well posted on Sherman county cr ps as anybody, says there is any amount of early wbeat'in that county that has not been damagee by the beat, and there is a great deal which appeurs to be injured would yet make a fine crop if there were 12 hours of rain, bow ever, without rain tbe late wheat will make a very light crop. In the oast tbis section bas looked to Hood River for its supply of straw berries, bu, the way strawberry patches on Mill creek have developed this year it will do so no longer, for Mill creek nan tnis season prouuceu better berries and more of them to the acre than any other point in wa9co county. Two farmers, who have an acre of berries each on the creek, have been delivering berries here for six weeks and bave plenty of them left. The Chronicle came near being out an efficient pressman today. Chris Schwa be took a lesson in swimming yesterday afternoon that very nearly resulted in his relinquishing his situa tion. He, with a number of other young men, was bathing near toe u. P. & A. N. dock, and Chri-i, although he could not swim, lumped off a boat and into 20 feet of water. He went to tbe bottom, but fortunately Vic Samp son was in a boat near by and hauled him out when be came to tbe surface. Hon. J. N. Williamson, representa tive from Crook county in the last legislature, BDent yesterday in The Dalles. Mr. Williamson says tbe sales of live stock in his county have been greater this year than ever before, and while this may cause dull times for a few years, because of the fact that there will be a less amount to sell in the future, it will be generally beneficial to tbe country as it will give the range a show to recover, it hav ing been overstocked Ex Seoretiry of State Kincaid re cently bought an old brick church building in Eugene to get rid of tbe occupants, and now wants to secure a tenant, therefore he bas inserted the following unique advertisement in his paper, the Journal: "The brick build ing on the corner of Ninth and Pearl s'rects. Is for rent for a church, school house, warebouse.drfgoods, grocery or hardware store. Stables, slaughter house, chicken coops and similar orna ments need not apply. Tbe building is 33x54 feet.

The reports that come from the wheat growing regions of the Inland Empire are anything but encouraging, the hot weather of the past waek hav ing done great damage. Tbe injury to grain in this country bas been con siderable, but from all reports bas not been as great as in localities further east.

The many friends of little Neddie Briggs will regret to learn that he is still afflicted with rheumatism and is compelled to use cnucues. The' littie fellow has been ill since last January, and lor tbe past month bas been very feeble. Oregon came very near losiog a governor last Sunday night. Governor Geer was in a Puumau coming from aan r rancisco tbat got off tbe track and barely escaped plunging l. to Sacramento river.

'Tis often said "death likes a shining mark," and icdeed this seems true for too often it cyts down those whose lives are most promising, yonng per sons whose usefulness seems to have just begun. This indeed seems to bave been true with regard to the young man whose name prefaces this article. Deceased was a young man of much promise, one who had just entered the field of usefulness under tbe most favored auspices. Had he lived until next October he would bave been only 23 years of age, yet he had accomplished more tban many other men of 30. In 1897 he graduated from Tbe Dalles high school well up in bis class, and last spring graduated from Holmes business college. After fin ishing a business course he at once en tered the service of the O. R. & N. Co. as stenographer in the Portland office, and held the position until the 4th of the present month, when be was taken seriously ill with appendicitis. He was taken to St. Vincent's hospital where an operation was performed on the 6th and another on Thursday of last week. Neither operation proved successful, and be died at 12:30 Monday morning. Edward F. Jenkins was born in the Ocboco country, now Crook county, in October, 1876. When 12 years of age both bis parents died, and be went to live with bis uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Simeon Bolton, with whom he made his home until a few years aeo. He leaves two brothers, Carey aud Coke, and one sister, Josephine, be sides a large circle of warm friends to mourn bis death. LADIES' TAILOR-MADE For Uniform Assessment. . Recognize tbe lack of uniformily in assessing property for taxation pur poses in this state, Judge J. H. D. Gray, of Clatsop county, issued an invitation to the county judges, com missioners and assessors to meet with bim in Portland, last Thursday for the purpose of devising some plan by which like property could have similar values placed on it in each of the sev eral counties. As a result eight county judges, thirteen assessors and six commissioners attended the meet ing. At tbe meeting the question ol as sessment and taxation was quite free ly discussed, though no definite action was taken, but the matter will be more fully considered at a meeting to be held in Portland the second Tues day in February cext, when it is to be hoped all tbe counties will be re presented, and all assessors are ex pected to bring to this meeticg a sum mary of the taxable property in their respective counties. At the meeting last week a committee consisting of one assessor from each of the judicial districts in the state was aDpoioted to draft a bill to be presented to the next legislature to provide for a more uni form system of taxation.

Y., by letter, without fee or charge of any kind. Dr. Pierce is specialist m the diseases of women. He has treated over half-a-million women tar diseases of the womanly organs and ninety-eight out of every hundred women he has treated have been absolutely and perfectly cured. Every letter received by Dr. Pierce, is treated as a purely per sonal and private communication ana its contents guarded as a sacred confidence. All answers to these letters are sent in sealed envelopes bearing upon them no printing or advertising whatever. Write to the doctor. It is no use for sick women to write to a man unless he is a doctor. It is no use to " write to a woman " unless the woman is a doctor. Write to a woman about cookery or any branch of housekeeping, because she is a woman and knows. But it is of no use to write to a woman about disease unless she has a doctor's training and diploma. A womaa who isn't a doctor is just as das ferous as a maa who isn't a doctor, wbea be undertakes to treat disease. There is no qualified woman physician so far as is known connected with any proprietary medicine put up for women. Even the "bearded woman," the man who advertises "write to a woman" is not a qualified physician and stands too much in fear of the' law to claim that he is. There is no other physician, male or female, who, like Dr. Pierce has a record of over thirty years, as chief consulting physician of a well known institution, making a specialty of the private treat ment of women's diseases. Write to. the doctor Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buff-Jo. M.
