This is a busy time with farmers, as harvesting Is U9t beginning, and farm hands throughout the country are said to be scarce Zacb Taylor, of Antelope, returned this morning from Spokane, whera he has been visiting his eon, who has been dangerously ill. The past few days fisherman on the ?iver have bepn making pretty good catcrea, the fish having begun to run since the water began to get clear, Portland had a splendid shower of rein yesterday afternoon It bfsran falling about two o'clock and con tinued to pour down until late in the evenirg. The 300 people who were here dur lug the week attending the two erand lodges have all gone to their homes, and the town now has a deserted appearance. . A band of W) head of bunchgras9 ' mustangs were brought into "Eugene recently and auctioned off to the high est bidder. The prices paid ranged from $4 to $40 per bead. Leslie Fry, a 12-year boy. was riding a bicycle In LeDanon, oarerontea, when his right big toe was caught be tween the chain and the sprocket wheel and was taken off. Recently Salem voted to issue 865, 000 of 4 per cent bonds to refund is debt. On Thursday bids were opened, and it was found that Salem capitalists had submitted bids for double the amount. The water In the Columbia river is once more clear which is a pretty good indication that the rapid thaw of snow in the high mountains has ceased. The river now stands at33 feet above low water mark, and those who are well posted say it will remain high for - two or three weeks to come- Mrs. J. A Fleck left at this office ' four fine, large white turnips raised a mile west of town without irrigation, " that were fine specimens. The largest one measured 22 inches in circum ference. The improvements that have been made in the Butler Drug Co., store make of it a very attractive place. The shelving and fixtures have been re painted and the interi orrearranged so as to give it the appearance of a no tore. A number of farmers were in town today, and all reported the cool weather of the oast fe-v das having been he-e-ficial to growing crops. Many of the fields that were thought to be ruined have revived, and fair crops will be harvested. lbe old man who died here yester day from the effects of strong drink should serve as a warning to others who are following in his footsteps. - Long, continued drunks will eventually ... tear down the system and lead to an untimely death. Yesterday Secretary of Agriculture Wflson viaitod Seufert Bros ' cannery above town, in company with R. C. Jurison, industrial agent of the O. R & N., and while there was presented with a royal chinook which he for ' warded to Mrs. Wilson at Washington.

J. llarrimao left at this office a few stalks of timothy raised on bis ' Eight-mile farm, that are hard to beat The 'longest stalk is 6 feet 7 inches and oue of the heads measures . Hi inches, Mr. Harriman says this is not an average of hU timothy crop, it being rather taller than the aver age, but ne has a timotny meauow from which be has cut three tons to the acre. It is now reported that the Oregon regiment will be mustered out the first week in August, and the boys will probably arrive at Portland about the 10th. ' This should bring the Wasco county boys home about the 12th, when a rousing reception should be given them. It will not be necessary to go to Portland to receive them for we . can cheer their hearts when they come to The Dalles. - Eleven freight cars on the O. R. & N. line were thrown in the ditch be low Alto at an early hour Wednesday morning. The freight train was south bound and when descending the steep grade of what is known as the '! Alto hill" the engine got beyond the con trol of the engineer, and the train plunged down ne grade piling the cars up in the ditch just below the curve at the end of the long grade. Yesterday j. B.. Manly, of .Victor, bad quite a serious mishap on Tygii bill with a loaded team. When near the top of the hill this side of Tygh Valley, the wagon went off the grade, draging the horses with it, and to gether they rolled down the h'll half a mile. : The team was ba41y cut and the. wagon totally demolished, but fortun ately Mr. Manly jumped off the wagon just as it left the grade and escaped Injury. , .. . Everybody wants to do the returning volunteers honor when they get home, but bow many wiil offer them positions where they can ear a a livelihood when the reception Is over? The boys have not made a fortune in the Philippines, in fact the most of them will come out of the service with very little ready cash. Those who offer the boys a job of work when they discard their uni forms will do tbem a better act than those who wine and dine them. Two young fellows, Frank Turner and William, Fruit, both under 21 years of age, have been arrested at Baker City for cattle stealing and bound over in the sum of 81000 to the grand jury The ' most recent op eration of these alleged cattle rustlers is said to be the rounding up of a band of cows on the Powder river range, taking the calves to Baker City, and on la9t Monday, selling tbem to the local butchering1 firm of Carter & Miller. It Is reported several of the cows were shot by the young range-riders. All the bodies of the dead in the Sec ond Oregon will be brought home for burial at the government's expense. Removal of the bodies will not begin for five or six months. A plan was tried of embalming the todies as they were brought in from the field, but for various reasons it did not succeed The military authorities have promis ed to return the bodies, not only to San Francisco, but to the town desig nated by the relatives of the dead soldier, wherever it iray happen to he all at the government's expense. In - case no request is received from rel atives, the body will be conveyed to Washington and interred in the national cemetery. SATURDAY. From Mondays Dally. Win.

He has been bathing In the water only two weeks, and has become so boyish that ho contemplates joining a juvenile club of minstrels. Wheat is being sold in Umatilla county for 474 cents a bushel. The same wheat could have been sold last fall for 50 cents, but the farmers held for higher prices This is an illustra tion.of the ''profits" of holding farm produce when a fair price is offered. Last Tuesday two men from Wamic, named Ay era and Edmunson, while passing tbronifb Dufur, appropriated a set of lines, a whip and a monkey wrench belonging to Johnnie Stevens. On Saturday they were taken betore Justice Thomas and lined $25 each, after using convicted of petit larceny. From all indicatious some of the wool growers in this country are liable to hold their wool too long, ex pecting a better market Buvers will get their orders all filled pretty soon, and will be called home, leaving the growers who have not sold with quantity of wool on their hands. It is a good plan to sell when a fair price is offered for an article and when the market Is brisk. The date of mailing from Manila of the Washington troops for hone ba been approximately fixed by General Otis at August 10. Details regarding transportation accommodations will be sent later. " According to the pres ent, schedule the Washington regiment is almost the last of the volunteers to leave the Philippines.

The stench that arrises from over flowed sewers between First and Second streets is fearful. If tenants in this section would use a liberal supply of lime in the cellars it would be couducive to haaltb. Last year Joe Stadleman Laryested 190 tons of grapes off a vineyard west of town that be bad rented, but this year there will be no grapes of conse quence taken from U, as it has not been cultivated. The results obtained last year shows wbat can be accom plished by cultivation of the hill soil of this country. A. Ulrich ha9 the ageuoy for The Dalles for the American fountain and sprinkler, oneot the best devices made for irrigating yards and lawns. Par ties desiring them will please give Mr. Ulrlcu a call. It is stated that the construction of big coal bunkers has begun at War reuton near the mouth of the Colum bia. This is encouraging news to the Daliesites who have invested in real estate at that place. Marshal Hughe has a force of men working on the Court street fewer that caved ia during the high water atd has caused cellars on First street to be iluoded for some time. He hopes to have it opened in a few days. Recent developments in the Fitch murder case at Portland are rather more favorable for Frank McDaniel, the young man suspected of killing the girl. Testimony before the coroner's jury corroborates the statements of the young man. Sii.ee smallpox has made its appear ance in Keppner, the people of The Dalies cannot bo too careful about preventing its getting a foothold here. Trains from the east should be care fully watched, and everybody should be vaccinated. Mif.3 Delia Greeley, forme' ly of Kansas City, Mo., is at present the truest, of the popular milliner. Mrs. P.irano of this city. Miss Greeley has just returned from Walla ATalla, where she spent a most successful season in the millinery business. .

Tourangeau since leaving there Mlt November has been up in the Blue mountains until b'sreceni illness, and is very glad to get back to old Dalles.- Yesterday Mrs. For wood received a letter from her daughter Nellie, who is at Heppner, advising her not to come to that place because of the prevalence of smallpox. She mentions three gentlemen, Mr. Shutt, Mr. Bock, and Mr. Priscall, as being afflicted with the disease, and says nobody is allowed to leave the town. By a telephone dispatch from Hep pner today the Times-Mountaineer is informed that there are at present only three cases of smallpox in that city, and they are all quarantined, so that there is little danger of the disease spreading. The disease appears to be in a very mild form, and there is no apprehension of serious results. A peculiar mishap befel Prof. Birg feld at his camp near some mineral springs back of Collins a few days since. Just what it was the reporter was unable to learn, but the professor has given his word that it will not occur again. W. H. Heisler, of Dufur, was in the city today. Mr. Heisler said harvest ing was progressing nicely In the farm ing sections, and from all appearances there would be considerable grain threshed, though a good deal of the wheat will be of low grade.

Kohler. who unloaded at Belfield a day alter, found 800 dead sheep in the cars. It is supposed that they got hold of poison while letding at Missoula, Mont. W T. Emery, the cattle buyer from Ouklaod. Or., was in Bandon the fore part of the week from Southern Curry, where he purchased 2,000 head of sheep and will drive them to Eastern Oregon, says the Bandon Recorder. There are several cattle and sheep buyers in this section at present, and all the available stock is being purchased for shipment. Another season should not p-.i39 without Tbe Dalles being supplied with pure water. The time is now Wpe for agitating tbe question of a pipe line up Mill creek. We will cot need it next winter when nature will purify the water, but we do need it now, when the water i9 impregnated with disease germs. Let everybody talk pure water and -we will get it by another summer. One great, big source of gratification to every citizen of Condon is tbe unsurpassed supply of pnre,cold water, which is MUpniifid by th- city well, which is the source of supply to the works, saj s the Condon Globe. Since the advent of hot weather and the con sequent nee.d of much irrigation, tbe pump has been kept going day and night, much of the time, and without making any appreciable difference in the supply of water The flow seems to be inexhaustible, and sufficient for a town twice or three times as large as Condon now is. Talked Good Seme. Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson was in Portland the other day, and in conversation with a representa tive of tae Oregonian eaid; "Your people have been paying their attenlien to wneat-raising, to the exclusion of other products. You might well devote a portion of your land to raising sugar beets; make sugar from the juice and feed the pulp to dairy cows. You ought to raise potatoes for Asia, as well as for your own use. I saw a vessel loaded yestar aay.for the Orient. The cargo con sisted of lumber from vour woods. wheat from your fields, cot.on from the Southern states; bacon, lard, butter and oleomargarine from Chicago, and potatoes actually from east of tbe Rocky mountains.

It is the ground-work ot all prosperity in life; few people grudge any reasonable expenditure which will be the means of restoring it ; but one of the most disheart ening tilings in the world is for any one who works bard for bis money to keep paying it out for doctors and medicines that do no earthly good. it is like throwing ltjnto tne tire. " We had spent lots of money for doctor bills and I had almost given np in despair," says Mrs. Elia Schall. of Moosehead. Luzerne Co.. Pa., in a sincere letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. " Then I told my husband I was going to write to you. I am very glad I did so; You re member mv case was abscess of the breast. Dt. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cured me in one month, sound and well." Your kindness to me I. can never forget," writes Mrs. Josie E. Clark, of Enterprise, Shelby Co., Mo. I cannot express half my feeling of gratefulness to you. 1 had despaired of ever get tins; well. I had been in bad health for twelve years. Had aches all through me, numb hands, cold feet, and everything I ate distressed me; my bowels were constipated. I was very nervous, depressed and despondent. When I first wrote to vou I thoupht I could never be cured. I have taken six bottles of Dr. Pierce' Golden Medical Discovery, and my health is now good. You have my honest recommendation toall sufferers. I think there is no medicine in the world as good as Dr. Pierce's." It's an insult to your intelligence for a dealer to attempt to palm off upon yon a substitute for this world-famed medicine. You know what you want. It's his busi ness to meet that want. When he urges some substitute he's thinking of the larger profit hell make not of your welfare. Shun all such dishonest dealers. Every sick person in this land should possess Dr. Pierce's grand thousand page illustrated Common Sense Medical Adviser, which will be sent free for the bare cost of mailing, ?i one -cent stamps. and r-.l ST& I AT THE OLD HOME. Four Generations Assemble Around tbe family Tree. The following account of a reunion of one of tbe oldest and best known pioneer families in Oregon, the family of Captain James Blakeley. father of Judge G. C. Blakeley, of this city is given by a Brownsville correspondent to the Oregonian under date of July 21st: Captain James Blakeley, of this city, held a reunion of his decendant.s on Thursday of this week, whiih will ever be a memorable day to the hundred and more relatives and friends pres ent. Captain Blakeley was born in Knox county, Tennesse, November 26, 1812. He married Miss Sarah Dick in Jeffersou county, Tennessee, in 1832, which marriage was blessed with 12 children. The beloved wife and two children have passed to the great be yond. Captain Blakeley :s. descen dacts now living comprise 10 children, iO grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren. There were gathered once more neneath the parpnia! roof and at the family table all of his living child ren (tne youngest over 40 years of age),some of whom came many miles to b5 present, namely: William Biakeiey, pre-ent sheriff of Umatilla county; Joseph A. Blakeley, ex-sheriff of Gil liam countt ; James M. Blakeley, now of Joeph, Wallowa county, formerly s-heriff of Crook county; George C. Blakfley. of The Dalles, formerly county judge of Wasco county: Henrv Blakeley. of this city; Margaret E. Smith, of Parrolt. Mont,; Ellen Mont gomery and Kate Lewis, of Prineviile; Harriet Cooley nd Sarah McFarland, of this city. Besides his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, there were present his sons-in-law and many invited pioneer citizens of this county. A large arbor, nicely decorated and covered with evergreens, was erected in tbe yard of bis grandson, W. C. Cooley, on a part of the the old do nation land claim of Captain Blakeley in this city, and beneath its shade were arranged long tables, loaded with the choicest of food, embracing not only Oregon's vegetables and fruits, but also California's tropical produc tions, and ail tbe delicacies of the culinary art. Revs. Robe, Sperry and Elmore, of this city; Rev. Snyder, of Portland, and Lawyer G. W. Wright, of Albany were among those present and took parr. In the exercises of the day. Every thing which money could obtain was purchased and arranged to make the day grand and glorious in the nistory of family reunions. The happy yet tearful scene of the day was the parting grasp of the hand extend ed to the aged patriarch at the close of the beautiful and lnnt-to-be-reinem-bered day Captain Blakeley is worthy of all the praise bestowed on him by his descendants. He was a soldier in tbe Florida or Seminole war 183S. and was captain of a company in the Rogue river Indian war of 1856. He repre sented this country in tbe state legis lature many years ago. and, as a de served honor, the Native sons of this city and vicinity last month named their cabin, '-James Blakeley's cabin No. 18." WHAT ABOUT THE WATER. Ia Kot The Dalles Kntitled to the Beit to Be Bad? Every year, during tbe heated season there is complaint of the quality of water that the people of The Dalles have to drink, and this complaint will con tinue until the pure.Vparkling water is brought direct from Mt. Hood to the city. Fo" nine months during the year the water supply of The Dalles is good, for the creeks are full, and the water is not contaminated by running through fields and being used for ir rigation purposes before it reaches the city, but for three months i; is ab solutely bad. It is filled with insects, is warm, and is filthy, consequently un fit for domestic use, and is liable to create disease. These are disagreeable things to publish, yet they are true, and it de volves upon every property owner in the city, to see that they exist no longer. That we could have an abundant supply of pure water is cer tain, but it would require a consider able outlay of money, which means in creased taxation. A pipe line- reach ing 18 miles up Mill creek would give us as pure water as could be found anywhere. This would probably cost $15,000 or 120.000, but It would be the best investment tnecity has ever made, for pure water is a thing which tbe people are entitled to, and which tbe sanitary conditions of tbe place de mand,. The only thirg that prevents tbe wifter commissioners from ordering such an improvement is tbe matter of expense, as they do not feel justified in placing additional burdens upon the people. This, however, could be met without materially increasing tbe bur dens on property, for It could be ar ranged so that It would fall upoo the consumers, and all would willingly meet it in order to get wholesome water. Tbe total book accounts of tbe water commission, the amount due from consumers, for the month of June, was $1,489.75, or at the rate of $17,877 for the year. If the rate were raised 25 percent it would increase the receipts some $4,000 a year. Suppose a pipe linn could be put In for $20,000 it would require only five years to pay for It if the water rates were increased 25 per cent. The commissioners would probably not feel justified in making such a raise without the sanction of the people, yet if they would put it to a vote, It Is certain it would carry by anoverwneimlog majority. Let a vote be takeu on the question and if it carries let immediate action be taken to lay a pipe line that will give Tbe Dalies pure water, direct from Mt. Hood. Longer delay is dangerous, for It threatens the lives of water consumers, and indirectly threatens tbe future of tbe city. A Victim ot Drink. Joe Cam, an old sheep herder, who has worked for J. P. Abbott for a num ber of years, was found dead by the side of a cabin on Joe Staddleman's place at the old mission about 8:30 last Friday evening. Cam bad come to town about two week's ago, and had been drinking heavilv for several days, In fact had been under the influence of liquor almost continuously. The nrst of tbe week be had arranged with Mr. Stad aleman to cut -wood, and had been given a room in a cabin in which to bleep. Last evening. John Hardtle, who roomed in the same cabin, went home and found Kern lying outside tbe door on tbe ground dead, ap Dareiitly having laid down to rest, and probably died wbile asleep. Kern was a Bohemian and had been In this vicinity about 20 years, but bad no re' atives here. AdvertUed Letters.

What came very nearly being a fatal accident occurred in front of Pease it Mays' store on Second street about 5:45 Saturday evening. Linden Gar retson, Otto Keller and Otto Schmidt, each about 12 years, were returning from the depot on their bicycles, and when in front of Pease & Mays store Otto Keller's wheel slipped and ran Into Linden's wheel, throwing him off. He pitch 3d head long between the first and second span of a four-horse team. Tbir frightened tbe horses, and one of tbem kicked the boy, rendering him insensible. Mr. Gavin, who was standing In tbe door of the store, picked up tbe lad and carried him inside, apparently tn a lifeless condition. Drs. Hudson and Logan were called and soon brought him too life, when he was carried to his home on Third street. An exam ination of his wounds developed that his face and foiebeud was seriously b'uised, but no bones were broken, and unless his right eye Is affected, his injuries will be only temporary. A ' FUTURE CITY. The Mopth ot tbe Colombia Mast Be the fort of Oregon. The changes that are almost certain to take place In the near future in the cootrol of Oregon's greatest railroad portend a change in tbe shipping in terests of the Northwest. Every in dication points to tbe fact that in the near future the Union Pacific will gain control of the regoo Short Line and Oregon Railroad & Navigation Co lines, and that the three systems will be merged into one. It also looks probable that the U. P. will assume control of the Astoria & Columbia road, which will give it a through line from Omaha to the Pacific ocean, with the exception of about 40 miles of road between Portland and Gobel. When this change takes place it will mean something besides the mere ac quisition of a number of railroad sys tems. It will mean that a great rail--oad terminus will be built up on tbe Pacific coast just inside the mouth of the Columbia, which when slightly improved will be one of the best, if not the best, harbor in the -.rorld. The terminus of this great system Is at Warrenton. and one of the roads ennmerated above has large property holdings there, which would indicate that the inte ntion was to build up the great shipping city of the Northwest at that place. Therefore present indications are that Warrenton is destined, to become an important shipping point, the coming city of tbe state. Killed by the Cars. On Friday of last week George W. Young was killed while operating a train for the Esq ui in alt & Nanimo railroad company between Victoria and Nanimo, B. C. He was conductor of a construction train, and wai coupl ing cars when in some manner he was jammed between the cars and was crushed to death. Mr Young had been In tbe employ of tbe railroad company a number of years. In the superintendents office most ot the time, and was only temporarily work ing on tbe road. Deceased was born at Canton, Mo., February 2Z, 1561, and when three years of age came to Oregon with his parents.

During tbe last few days a large number of farmers have been consulted relative to tbe damage from hot winds of the past week to the growing crops. Wbile in some localities the injury was quite extensive yet in most of the grain sections the farmers report "not a heavy shrinkage," says the Walla Walla Union. Joseph Painter, of Eureka Flat, states that be has nothing to complain or. tbe winds not having done great damage to bim, and W. H. Babcock fives information to the same effect. It is said, however, that the greatest p.-r cent of damage was done to tbe spring sown grain in parts of tbe Fiat.

Ellis, the regimental surgecn, in speaking to a San Francisco reporter. "They acquitted themselves admir ably in every one of their 42 engage ments, and it was no small honor paid them when Lawton remarked that they had done more actual fighting than any other body of men in the field." 'The splendid fighting qualities, of the regiment were showrtat their fullest in tbe battle of Malsbo'n on March 25 I was then actingassurgeon of V"ueat on's'brigade, and bad an opportunity of seeing how well th'e." Oregonians acted' under fire. The record shows that 53 men were killed or wounded, and' tbe whole story of the fight is re plete with examples of pcrconal brav ery and the highest degree of regi mental efficiency. "Here is a case in ooint: Private BolUm of the hospital corps, whose home is In Portland, went out on lbe firing line regardless of a storm of the enemy's bullets and walked about as unconcernedly as if he were 100 miles from the nearest Filipino. Ou the top of one of the trencnes be found a man severely wounded in the head. He raised the injured soldier to his knee and was arranging a bandage when a second bullet struck tbe wounded man in the heart and instantly killed him. Boiiam saw that further work would be futile and was about to retire when he noticed a wounded soldier near bim. This was Private Hedley, who had been shot tbrougn tbe chest hiollam hastily dressed tbe Injury, and without assistance, carried the man to tbe nearest hospital. "Hedley Is alive today, and soley for the reason that hsollam proved bim self tbe proper sort of a soldier." Educate Your Knwels With Cascareta. Candy Cathartic. cu-e constlDation forever. 10c, 26c.
