The Pendleton, La Grande and
Baker City boys who comprised Co. D,
Second Oregon, passed up tbe road on
the overland last night, returning to
beir respective homes. They were
have
eggs
all clad in their khaki suits of brown
duck, and their bronzed complexions
indicated that they bad seen service
under the tropic suns. The boys were
all elated at the prospects of getting
home and once more realize that tbey
pre from under the restraining in
fluences of military rule. They were a
fine looking lot of fellows, and were as
happy as larks.
From Monday s Daily.
E. C. Fitzpatrick, of Tygh Valley, is
in town.
Dr. Pilkington, of Antelope, is visit
ing in the city.
B. F. Allen, president of the Prine
ville bank, is in the city.
Mrs. W. E. Garretson left yesterday

W. Wurzweiler, of Prineville, came
up from Portland last night.
County Clerk King, of Malheur
county, spent the day in the city.
Today Sheriff Kelly sold the de
linquent tax roll of 1897. A few lots
of property were bought in by private
parties, but the majority was bought

Today most of the boys from Manila
have discarded their khaki uniforms
and have donned .he garb of citizens,

Yesterday the Kegulator made a
trip down the river some distance be
low Cascade Locks, taking a band of
sheep for D. P. Ketcbum'to the moun
tains on the Washington side, where
they will be ranged until needed for
market.
It is a pleasure to hear the volunteers
SDeaking in such high terms of their
captain, whom all seem to have loved
and respected. Certainly he won the
esteem of bis men, and looked well to
their interests. He was everything
they could expect in a brave soldier
and competent commander.
Wm. N. Wiley is down -from An
telope. He says the mines on Trout
creek are continuing to show better as
they become more fully developed.
Tnat they are rich and extensive Mr.
Wiley says there can be no question,
and he expects a considerable move
there in the way of prospecting during
the fall.
An affecting scene Indeed was witnes
sed at the dock this morning when the
Portland members of Company L took
leave of their Dalles comrades. The
boys who shared each others sorrow
and joys in the war, who faced death
together on the firing line, formed
strong attachments, and when they
parted at the dock this morning it was
plain to be seen that it was like the
breaking up of a family.
It has been demonstrated by George
W. Turner that the raising of flax in
Morrow county is a success, says the
Heppner Times. He will harvest this
year about 300 acres, and a number of
other farmers in the weastern part of
the county have tried the industry.
While the greater part of Mr. Turner's
crop was grown on new ground, it is of
fine quality, and Mr. Turner says will
pay two to one better than wheat.
It is reported that the chittem tree,
from which chittem bark Is peeled, is
becoming veiy scarce in Benton and
other counties, says a Corvallis paper.
As is well known, wherever the treo is
skinned of its bark it soon dies, and
of course Is becoming scarcer, until
the chittem tree at no great distant
future at the present rate ofconsump'
tion will naturally be destroyed. The
price of chittem bark under these con
ditions will in a few years greatly ad
vance. Tip, the mascot of Co. L, a sprightly
little dog that Private Lowe took with
him to the war, was brought back safe
and sound by the boys when they ar
rived Saturday. Tip went all through
the war with Company L, and was
honorably discharged for rendering
valiant service. He was in 37 battles
and was always at the front. Tip was
not only a brave fellow on the field of
battle, but was a good forager, and
when there was nothing else to attract
his attention he busied himself catch
ing chickens for the boys, and the
soldiers got many a square meal because
of Tip's rustling qualities. He was the
pet of the regiment, and there is not
a man of Company L who would not
fight for the dog.
From Tuesday's Dally
A. R.' Lyle, of Cross Keys, is in the
city.
Major Hall, claim agent for the O
R. & N. Co. spent the day in town.

M. Smith, of Moro, are visiting in the
cloy.
toadft leading into tbe country are
now in fine condition, the rains having
settled the dust.
Dr. and Mrs. Logan returned last
evening from Bingham springs, in the
Blue Mountains.
The rains so far in this county have
not damaged crops, but they have re'
tarded harvest work.
Yesterday E. C. Fitzpatrick brought
in fifty fat hogs from Tygh Valley and
sold them here for 4i cents on foot.
Headers were running in most of
the farming country today, the grain
being sufficiently dry to allow it to be
cut.
Heavy rains have prevailed in the
Walla Walla country tbe past few days
and have interfered considerably with
harvesting.
The rains of the past few days have
made life in the mountains miserable,
heuce many of the campers are return-
ng home.
Mrs. Geisendorffer, Mrs. Douthlt
and Miss Daisy Dean returned last
night from Cascade Locks where tbey
have been camping.
Campers at tbe seaside will be
wending their way homeward pretty
soon. It is getting too da nap for com
fort along the different beaches.
Heavy rains are reported all over
the Willamette valley. They have re
tarded harvesting, bnt no material
damage has yet been done tbe crops.
Hon. F. N. Jones came up last night
from Portland. He bad been sick in
Portland with malarial fever, and
came east of the mountains to recuper
ate.
Justice of the Peace C. E. Bayard
has been taking treatment at the
Portland Sanitarium for several weeks,
and his health is reported to be im
proving. Hon. Arthur Hodges, clerk of Crook
county, arrived by today's, stage from
Prlnevllle. Mr. Hodges Is out for his
summer vacation, and will probably
visit San Francisco before returning
home.
I
Since the fishing season has closed
managers of the different hatcheries
been securing an abundance of
for propagation. At .(be Clack.
amas hatchery they are taking from
100,000 to 200,000 eggs daily.
Fruit raisers are of the opinion that
the recent rains have not injured fruit
but has been rather beneficial, as
pi-unes and apples will mature better
during cloudy weather than when It Is
too warm.
In the list of volunteers who return
ed from Manila last Saturday, pub
lished in yesterday's paper, the name
of Roy Ballard was omitted. It was
an oversight, for Roy is here and in
tends making this his home.
Hon. W. H. Biggs and wife and Mr.
and Mrs. C. E. Fout and son took pas
sage on the boat this morning for
Wind river where they will spend a
few weeks camping. Mr. and Mrs.
Fout's home is in Los Angeles.
The wheat market is pretty quiet in
Portland, and offiers so far have been
rather below what was expected. The
price is from 56 to 59 cents, but it is
too early yet to form an estimate of
the price that will prevail when the
new crop is placed on the market.
Mrs. T. M. Baldwin and family, of
Prineville, passed through the city
today enoute to Portland, where they
will reside in the future. Mr. Bald
win will go to Portland later, as soon
as a suitable person can be found to
take his place as cashier of the First
National bank of Prineville.
An Ice cream social and entertain
ment will be given at the Christian
church next Friday evening at 8
o'clock. There will be talks by the

church and the refreshments will be
served in the basement room. Admis
sion 15 cents.
One of the features of the Oregon
industrial exposition this season will
be a war museum. It will consist of
trophies, relics and curios brought
back from the Philippines by the
Oregon volunteers, and the collection

seen in the northwest. The fair will
be held from Sept. 28 to Oct. 28, and
all railway and steamboats lines will
give r. duced rates.
Ted Seufert, Jud Fish and Dick
Gorman are getting a little country
experience in the vicinity of Trout
Lake. Last Sunday they started from
the lake to the ice caves, and when
within about half a mile of their des
tination, struck a stump, breaking the
tongue and one wheel of their wagon.
They were able to patch up the wagon
60 as to get out of the mountains, but
will hire a teamster before they start
on another jaunt.
Fight With Wildcats.
The Baker City Republican tells the
following story about an encounter a
Bakerite had with wildcats near that
city:
Just at sunup last Sunday morning,
C. W. Keizur of this city, while out
for a bicycle jaunt, encountered four
belligerent wildcats in the public road
at the mouth of the Canyon above Dan
Shaw's, that were not disposed to yield
t'ao right of way without a scrap.
With two determined varmints crouch
ing in the road ahead of him and one
on each side, growling viciously while
making vigerous efforts to keep pace
with the wheel, the gentleman found it
expedient to hastily dismount and
open up with a volley of stones whi;h
happened to be plentiful in that vicin
ity. For a few moments honors were
about even until the felines evidently
decided themselves outclassed ana
commenced to beat a reluctant retreat,
whereupon a rifle was quickly unlashed
and brought to bear with the result of
securing one of the squad, the others
being still at large in that neighbor
hood.
Fan at Wasco.
L he town of Wasco recently passed
an ordinance requiring all places of
business to ba closed on Sunday r and
tne marsnai has been undertaking to
enforce it strictly, and in consequence
several prominent business men and
women were drawn into court on
charges of having violated the law.
Among those arrested are J. F. Potter,
H. E. Vaughn, Wash Reynolds, Wm.
Booth, Mrs. Wm. Barnett and E. A.
Webber. Webber and Reynolds plead
guilty and paid their fines, but the
others contested the matter. The or
dinance is causing considerable fun in
the town and will probably result in a
number of appeals to the circuit court.

ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES.
Returning Volunteers Have Little Use for
the Islands.
The Times-Mountaineer has inter
viewed a large number of The Dalles
boys who returned Saturday from the
Philippines, for the purpose of getting
their ideas of the country and to as
certain their opinion of when the war
may cease. From them it has gained
much valuable information, though as
a rule they are not free to express
their views or criticise the manner of
conducting the war.
Not one of them has any desire to
return to the islands either as a sol
dier or a private citizen, it being the
universal expression that it is not a
lit place for a white man to live. They
speak of the country as a productive,
rich soil capable of growing anything
to he found in the tropics, where rice
is almost a natural product and sugar
cane grows in abundance. But the
climate is such that no white man can
endure It a d follow any active pur
suit. The rainy season begins in June
and continues for three to five months.
During that time the heat is intense,
though not so oppresive as during the
dry season, but little or nothing can
be done during the time the rains are
prevalent. The natives are accustom
ed to the climate, hence can stand to
work in all seasons, but the longer a
white man stops there the worse be
fares.
In regard to the conduct of the war
not one has expressed confidence in
General Otis, and they are almost a
unite in denouncing him as being an in
competent commander. When asked
how soon they expect the war to close,
they say that depends very much on
circumstances. The Filipinos must
be whipped before they will surrender,
and as there are millions of them it
will take a long time to subdue them
with the present force on the islands.
Fighting them, they say, is a good
deal like fighting flies. When one is
killed, there are a half dozen to take
his place. To kill a few thousand
of them cuts little figure aDd doeB not
thin their ranks for the country Is over
run with them, and they appear will
ing to enter the service whenever their
ranks are thinned. The resources to
keep up an army seem unlimited. The
insurgent forces would appear to be
annihilated one day and the next their
ranks would be full. Recruits would
apparently come from the brush and
food to Support them from the ground.
Very few of the returned soldiers
are in sympathy with the war nor
do they feel satisfied that they
were detained in the islands after the
trouble with Spain was settled. They
say they enlisted to fight the Spanish,
but would not desert th flag of their
country when called upon to fight the
insurgents.
As a rule the volunteers think but
little of the Philippines as a country.
They have no attraction for them, and
they laugh at the idea of the islands
ever becoming a fit abode for tbe
American race. After the insurgents
have been subdued the volunteers say
they do not see what this country will
do with the islands, for very few out
side of officials and soldiers will want
to live there.
Cost of Kepalrs.
The matter of repairing old, i broken
down sewers in tbe city has been an
expense of no small amount for several
years past, and is increasing each year
as tbe. wood of which they are con
structed decays. From January 1 to
July 1, the cost of repairs as shown by
tbe recorder's books has been $211,63,
and the cost for the month ot July was
$69 36, making a total of $288.99 paid
out for sewer repairs since the first of
tbe year. The principal repairs have
been on Court and Union street sewers
which are in a condition that they are
liable to give way at anytime.
Recognizing that to repair the old
sewers will become a -greater expense
every year, and also that the Union
and Court street sewers must be re
placed in a very short time, the council
has determined to put in an entire
new system, and believe it will be a
saving in the long run to tbe property
owners.
The Boy Who Will Never Come Borne.
The following verse was written by
Rev. P. S. Knight for the Capital
Journal and will indeed appeal to many
hearts at the present time:'
I hear a chorus of ringing bells
in ecnoing tower ana dome.
And word is passed bv a thousand
tongues
That our boys are marching home.
But oje mother watches tbe marching
lice
That steps to the rolling drum.
And covers her eyes and sheds hot
tears
For a boy who will never come.
A father stands in an open field
And leans on bis resting Plow.
With toil-worn hands and wrinkled
face,
And gray hairs on his brow.
In silence he see the column pass,
His quivering lips are dumb-
But his heart responds with a broken
sign
For a boy who will never come.
Two little children, hand in hand,
Walk down the crowded street,
And scan each lace in the line that
steps
lo the snare-drum's measured hnat.
But they look in vain for a brothnr'a
lace,
Whom they lone to welcome home
Ana two children's hearts are filled
with (frier
For a boy who will never come.
A maiden sits in a mourner's garb
In the shade of a darkened room.
And bears tbe music of martial bands
. Ana tne welcoming cannon's hnnm
In truth she wishes her country well
As it welcomes its warriors home-
But ber sad young heart beats a funer
al dirge
For a boy who will never come.
O, lb lame you not, ye who join tbe
-i -
That surces tbe crowded street-.
With welcoming hand and shout and
song
The relurnins brave to creel-..
But I am thinking of hearts that bleed
in many a sorrowing bnme.
And so weave my wreath of simnle
ruyme
For tbe boy that will never come.

Will Blow Up Mines It England
Declares War.
London, Aub- 11. The Boer organ
in London, tbe Standard, and Digger's
News today published a Johannesburg
dispatch threatning Great Britian in
event of war, saying the Boers are
determined to wreck the mines and
irretrievably ruin the general body of
shareholders by blowing up millions
of dollars' worth of machinery, adding
that war will mean absolute ruin of
Johannesburg, both as a town and
and mining center, and saying:
"While it is doubtless end in victory
for England, the price of victory will
be the ruin of thousands who ought to
consider the price they mnst pay be
fore authorizing the government to
declare war."
Another Johannesburg dispatch pre
dicts futher concession, and says;
"The reply of Transvaal to tbe pro
posal for joint inquiry is being delayed
until tbe government has prepared a
scheme granting Uitl anders immediate
and substantial representation, as the
Transvaal will make every effort to
avert intervention in the internal aff
air of the country."
NOT AGGRESSIVE ENOUGH.
Senator Stewart's Views on the Philippine
War.
New York, Aug. 13. A special dis
patch to the Times from Washington
says: In reply to a question concern
ing his views on expansion, Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, said:
"We have expanded and it is no
longer a question whether or not we
are in favor of ii. It makes no differ
ence whether tbe United States had a
right to buy those islands or whether
Spain had a title to dispose of them
Tbe fact remains that we did buy them
and we are there now to give the
natives an opportunity to rule them
selves.
"May be our arguments are rather
strong, but that is apparently the only
way to deal with these people. We
cannot sell them. If we should, then
it would be to some monarchy, and
the people of the United States would
stamp with unanimous diiapproval tbe
sale a country and itm people.
"The policy of tbe United States
in -the Philippines has not been ag
gressive enough. I believe a more
vigorous campaign will be waged in
tbe future.'!

partment of the army in Porto Rico
has peen directed to tender such tem
porary aid as it can until supplies

to the appeal ot Secretary Root for aid
for the suSeriug and destitute In Porto
Rico are coming in from mayors of
different cities in a most gratifying
manner. Promises of money, food and
clothing are made, and it is said the
work of relief will be commenced at
once and pushed with all vigor.
Does This Strike YouT
Muddy complexions, nauseating
breath come from chronic consump
tion. Karl's Clover Root Tea is an
absolute cure and has been sold for
fifty years on an absolute guarantee.
Price 25 cents and 50 cents, at Blake
ley & Houhton, druggists.
WILL. BE ARBITRATED.
American Claims Against Bnssla to
be
Submitted to Arbitration.
New York, 14. A special to tbe
Herald from Washington says: Ambas
sador Tower has notified the state de
partment that tbe Russian government
has agreed to arbitrate the claims of
American citizens against it, growing
out of the seizure of their vessels off
tbe Siberian coast. These claims
amount to $300,000, and Russia's will
tngness to arbitrate them is tbe best
evidence, state department officials
6ays, of their validity.
Mr. Towers is negotiating a treaty
referring the claims to arbitration
which will be based upon the conven
tions under which the Cheek and
McCord claims were arbitrated. The
arbitrator will be selected by the two
governments, and will be required to
render the award within six months
after his appointment. These claims
are due to the seizure of American
8 raling ships off the Siberian coast in
1892, and the maltreatment of some of
their crews. Their vessels wese seized
20 miles away from the-Siberian shore
Had the seizure occurred within three
miles it is probable this government
would have declined to press tbe
claims.
Eewy Sick With Fever.
Leghorn, Aug. 14. Admiral Dewey
today remained on board the cruiser
Olympia, which arrived here at noon
yesterday from Naples, being ill with
fever. The captian of tbe vessel re
ceived visits of oficials and others in
his place.
