Since our last report, we have per
sonally visited a large part of the
central, southern and eastern divisions
of Sberman county, says tbe Moro
Observer, and we feel compelled to
say ' there Is now no doubt tbat the
crop of 1899 has been badly damaged
throughout this entire section of
country. While some of tbe fall-sown
grain had matured sufficiently so tbat
it was beyond danger from tbe hot
wave, the spring grain was late, and
has been generally damaged. This
constitutes 40 per cent of tbe total
crop of tbe county, and wfll not only
be small in yield, but of low grade as
well,

is to put several barrels of lime in the

the fish and bugs and opening the
gates would let them flush out. It might
be well for tbe commission to try tbe
experiment.

A SERIOUS QUESTION.
People Should Take Precaution to Pro
tect Themselves Against Burglars.
Nearly every day the papers con
tain reports of burglaries, committed
in the business houses and the private
rcideuces. and the value of property i
taken amounts to thousands of dollars
every year, besides a great loss of
human life) in defending property
rights.
It seems that the cities having tbe
most efficient police and detective
forces are u'-able to prevent house
breaking and that the residents of
such cities are entirely at the mercy of
travelling thugs and professional
crooks. .
In the face of these facts it is not
surprising that mall cities, with hard
ly any police force and villages that
have none, are often the paradise o?
wandering crooks.
In a comparatively short space of
lime this city has been the scene of
numerous house breakings and petty
thieving, and our neighboring villages
h.ive had their share of losses in this
manner.. We call attention in par
ticulit!' to the town of Dufur. whose
residents are the very best of citizens,
neverthel-ss but a short while ago
Johnston Bros, had a valuable safe
blown open and the contents taken,
and on the 24th of this month their
place of business was entered and
pipers and money taken, the value of
wliii.h amour ts to several thousand
dollars In hotb these instances tbe
guilty parties have r.ot heen appre
hended and the chances are about 99
to 1 they never will be.
The question then naturally presents
itself to every thinking man, wnetber
or not t.her ever can be a system in
augurated that will secure the property
owner in his property. At first
thought one would naturally conclude
that no system can ue. installed that
will circumvent the erooK. To the
unsophisticated we will say tbat a sys
tem has beeu invented tbat baffles all
crooks. Tbis system is tbe one
that made it possible to protect tbe
bank in Coffeyville. Kansas, a few
years ago agsinst the attack of the
Dalton gang, one of the most desperate
and daring set of robbers ever known
in the United States.
: he patents for this system are
owned by the Western Alarm system,
and D. S. Dufur, of tbis city, owns tbe
patent rights for Wasco and Sherman
counties, Oregon, and Klickitat county
Washington. The editor of this paper
nas inspected one of these systems in
Mr. Dufur's residence and can truth
fully say that it works to perfection
ajd is so constructed that when it is
connected at night no one can at
tempt to enter without giving an
alarm that will awake a whole house
bold. lie guarantees every system
and will put tbetn in any place within
his territory on tbe basis of, not satis
tory, no pay.
as tney are not expensive no one
can afford to take chances of losing
property and life when they can avert
it oy this system.
Any communication addressed to
him will be promptly and confidential
ly answered and detailed information
of this system gladly furnished.
THE BOYS FELT SLIGHTED.
Our Soldiers In the Philippines Kecelved
no Congratulations.
A private in Co. I writes to a friend
in Oregon City explaining some of the
reasons why the Oregon regiment
chose San Francisco as the point of
Clustering out. Among other things
he says:
"It puts $32 in our pockets and gives
us a good chance to see 'Frisco. The
people don't seem to stop to think
what we would bave lost by coming to
Portland direct. If it were not for our
parents, friends and the good people
of Oregon who bave been so kind to us
we would never think of coming back
as a regiment. To the state of Oregon
we owe nothing, and they owe us a
whole lot. We were in 33 battles and
skirmishes, and have made a record
for our state which they should feel
proud of After tbe great battle of
Malabon, la which we lost 50 wounded
and eight killed, having taken tbe
hardest position in the whole fight
tbat night, tired, hungry and sleepy,
we camped witn tbe Kansas. Minneso
ta and Montana boys, all of which re
ceived congratulations from their
-tate, but the poor Oregon boys got
nor. a single word
Tbe soldiers certain y have just
grounds for feeling that tbey bave
been neglected, but it was' the gover
nor s priveiege to sen congratulatory
dispatches and just then he was too
buisily engaged in sending dispatches
to the president telling him that rather
'ban see the war close he would sacri
fice the life of every Oregon soldier,
to sena a message to tbe boys congrat
ulatiog them upon their brilliant work
at MalKDon.
The Boys at the Presidio.
Ed. R. Lemison, one of Tbe Dalles
boys who saw service in the Philip
pines and who is now at the Presidio,
writes as follows under date of July
26:
I don't know what you people think
about us boys wanting to get ashore at
ban francisco, but probably if you bad
been in our placts you would bave
done the same. We were 29 days from
Manila, with only three days shore
leave at JNagasiu, ano besides a gov
ernment transport isn't a floating
paiace.
We are at the Presidio in round
tents, with a rough board floor, and a
small sheet iron coal stove to furnish
heat. The camp is far better than we
had here last year.
We have had our physical examina
tion and yesterday we turned in our
ordnance, so our stay here is getting
limited. As to bow we will return to
Oregon, is only conjecture, but we all
think it would be just for the regiment
to return as a body.
Most of the boys have seen enough
of 'Frisco, and are now waiting pa
tiently for their discharge. We have
lots of freedom and are enioving our
selves.

Several times of late tbe Portland
papers htive started the rumor tbat the
Regulator line operating between
Portland ana The Dalles, was goiDg-o

to be tbe Shaver company and then it
was Jacob Kamm who would start
boats out. Again this week, the Even
ing Telegram is full of tbe old rumor.
ibe Dalles people ao not seem to be
made of tbe same staff tbat people of
other towns are made of a town in
point being our own; for the reason
tbat The Dalles is loyal to its company
which has stood by tbe people ever
since the company has been formed.

THE ARLINGTON STRANGLER
A Rejected Suitor Att mats to Murder
Bis Sweetheart.
Last Saturday night the people of
rlingtor were thrown into a fever of
excitement over tbe attempt of Al
Kessler to murder Miss Maud Mit
chell, who arrived in Arlington from
Portland only a few days before.
Miss Mitchell bad rejected Kessler's
offer of marriage, and left Portland to
get rid of his attentions. He followed
her to Arlington, and locating ber
watched for an opportunity to tike
her life. About 9 o'clock Saturday
night, when she was preparing to re
tire, Kessler entered her room masked,
knocked her senseless with a club,
and tied a towel about ber neck to
produce strangulation. He then
jumped out the window and escaped,
no doubt thinking be had murdered
.the girl. The people of tbe house
hearing the noise, went to the room
and forcing tbe door found Miss Mit
cbel apparently dead, but medical aid
was su-nmoned and she was restore!
to consciousness.
Where Kessler went is not known,
but officers are on his track, and he
will probably be brought to justice.
Tbe police here were notified of ibe
deed soon after it occurred, and keps a
close watch for him, but feel confident
that he has not passed through Tbe
Dalles going west.
Remarkable Beseue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111.,
makes the statement that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for a month by her family
physician, but grew worse. He told
her 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 ever
s
was. Free trial bottles of this Great
Discovery at Blakeley & Houghtoi
drug store. Only 50 cents and $1.00,
every bottle guaranteed.
