Misner, of Mitchell, arrived in the city last evening and is meeting Dalles friends today. Mrs. Burckbardt and daughter Miss Lena, of Portland, arrived in the city j tst evenincr and are visiting the 1 tmily of Judge Liebo. loo. A. S. Bennett returned from Portland last evening where he has lioen arguing a case in the United States court of appeals. Mrs. Alden, mother of Captain Chas. Alden, arrived in this city last nigh" l om her home on the sound and will islt for a time with the family of the popular captain. While the Salvation army . were 1 oldlng their usual evening exercises 1 Mb evening Edward Francisco, who ' v.'as standing on Neilson' corner ) -ttening to the singing, was taken i Ith an epllpetlc attack and for a time ; ppeared to be in a dangerous condi tion. , He was carried into Nielson' i -. re and Dr. Geisendorffer called and i a short time he was well enough to valkhome. Harry Curtiss, one of the young men v no graduated from the high school 1 it fall has taken up the study of law i i the office of Hon. A. S Bennett. Kr. Curtis is a bright young man and vith one of the best libraries in 1 1:6 state at his disposal and the as- t stance of such an able instructor as i iiige Bennett be should make rapid I regress in gaining legal lore. Charlie Grunow, ferraerly bell boy in 1i3 Umatilla House returned from Utsop Beach yesterday, where be I-s been spending a week of a well rned vacation. He states that the nt majority of the people haye i ; ready left the beach and that it has i newhat of a deserted appearance at l iMsent. While there the weather i n pleasant and his stay cost enjoy t -le. V band of six redskins arrived In ' irtland Monday from I4nnton, where t ey had sold 250 bead of bronchos to i e cannery. The animals were a 6ne ) 5 and brought $3.50 per bead. The 1 i liana bail from the Warm Springs i nervation and four days were con t pned in driving the horses to market. After disbursing some of the money i -ilized out of the transaction the ' mcks" will return to the reservation i .id get more horses, there being j Jenty of them on the reserve. Charles Cartright arrived in the city i "m Hay Breek, Crook county today. t ' iu uaj j . U v . , w. " " " -j j - . ) f-j states that before he left yesterday j i was reported lhat Frank Fmnell had 1 en captured by the deputy sheriff i Crook county at Mitchell. As noth i z has been heard since yesterday to afirm tbe report it is likely that it is i.ttrue. The majority of people are i t the opinion that the murderer has i. ide good his escape. He evidently ited that he intended to give him i if ud in order to gain time to get out i . the way and it is not likely tbat at lis late date he would be found ound, Mitchell. C. N. Peck, a prominent farmer near jxington, in Morrow county, died inday from hemorrhage of tbe lungs. was reported tbat he bad smallpox, id his neighbors were so excited and tred that none could be found to 1 A lp bury him. Drs. Swinburne and unlock, who arrived at his place m on after his death, made a coffin and i-.terred the remains unassisted. Mr. I'ock was an aspirant for tbe nomina l on for representative before the re publican county contention in Hep I'.ier, two years ago, and made several Meeches throughout the county in r jpport of the ticket. Henry Driver is in the city from his tome netr Wamic. Mr. Driver states ; tat threshing is nearly done in tbat i iction. Wheat turned out betweeu :. ) and 40 bushels to tbe acre and con i iierable of this years crop will be : vuledtoThe Dalles as tbey have more i rain than they need to feed their i ock. Many of the farmers through i lat country raise large droves of bogs .- ud fatten them for market with the i rain crop, thus saving the expense :.nd time of hauling tbe product to market. Mr. Driver has about eighty head of porkers to fatten this fall but ill, nevertheless, bring in close to 2J00 bushels of grain to The Dalles .larkets. Engineer Roberta arrived in the city ) ist night from Fossil where he bas loen looking into tbe matter of put i . ng in a gravity system of water works ; r that town. He is here for the pur pose of surveying a pipe line from ....Headquarters for.... Varmers' and Miners' Tools, i'owder, Fuse and Giant Caps." itubber and Cotton Uose. Aerinoter Wind Mills.

A Complete Line of Spraying Dunn's No. 1 Spray, also Garland Stoves and Steel Ranges. In addition to the above we run a Tin and Plumbing Shop, Bicycle Repair Shop and General Machine Shop. Our Grocery Line is complete in every respect Give us a call before MAIEE & - the Mesplie place on Mill Creek to i he Wicks farm on the ea9t fork of lhat stream and to estimate the cost of such a lino. He will go up this afternoon acct mpanied by the water commissioners to look over the groun and will report on the feasibility of the same in a short time. While the line may not be put in this lali, it is neverthelf ss very necessary to have it, and no soon as the City can atiora to ,.npnr1 t.hn renuired sum this im nriwpmpni. will be made. When this is done it will greatfy improve the aualitv of the water and increase the quantity materially. Bowling on the Road Club alieys has begun in earnest, and the activity shown nrnmises to be like the old times of '96 and '97, says the Oregon lan. John D. Bowie, the association's champion, has been selected as cap tain, and Richard St. Clair as their p.h airman. Fridav nie-ht began the individual handicap 100-game tourna mns for an elegant ffold medal. This would indicate that bowling Is not a thing of the past and will undoubtedly become popular once more. The alleys of The Dalles Commercial & Athletic Club are being repaired and in a short time as much enthusiasm will be shown as is in the RoaJ Club. City Marshal Hughes received a letter from the Portland chief ol police last night telling bim to look out for a boy named i,dgar towier, who disappeared from Portland several days ago. The boy whose home is at Gobel, on the Astoria & Columbia River railroad, came to Portland "ith the intention of attending school. He did not show up at his boarding house and a search has been instituted. The boy was 13 years old, 4 feet 8 inches in height and weighed 105 pounds. He was dressed in a brown mixed suit with knee pants, sore laced tan shoes, a pink shirt, stand up collar and a navy blue tie. Hon. E. B. Dufur and son, George Dufur.returned froui Goldendale today . wheru tbey have been attending court. Mr. Dufur states that tbe term was unusually short as there were but few cases of note brought up for trial. The docket censisted of a few divorce cases several equity cases and one criminal case, for larceny of horse, which was co tinued until the October terra of court. The court will probably finish its business today and adjourn. He states that the wheat crop in Klickitat valley is exceptionally good and that much of the grain is being hauied to Columbus on account of it Deing near er for the farmers in tbe eastern part of the valley than to The Dalles. The attendance up to date at tbe state fair at Salem has been quite satis factory, and the receipts 'considerably larger than last year. The exhibits are now all in gooa snape, ana tne special features of the program are giving good satisfaction. The agricul tural exhibits, considering tbe back ward season, are more than good, and the pens are filled with cattle, sheep, goats and hogs of the most distin guished pedigree. Tbe farmers this year certainly cannot complain that their interests have been neglected, and if the grain and fruit exhibit falls behind what Oregon should show, it must be remembered that this bas been a yery backward season.' The dairy exhibit, in charge of Superin tendent Weeks, is an Instructive place for a butter-maker or a lover of good utter vo spend an hour in. Ou i be evening of September 27 tb, Earl Sanders, of Company L, O. N. G. will deliver a lecture at the Congrega tional church in this city, on Manila and a soldiers experierce while there. Mr. Sanders is an intelligent young man and has been a close observer during the year and a half that he was on tbe island, so tbat he will not only be able to tell about the condition of things there as we have not beard it heretofore, but he will also relate many incidents that have never reached us through tbe press. To hear tbe truth about the treat ment tbe troops received, tbe valor displayed Jby them and the result of their campaign is what everyone is anxious to hear and it is doubtful if the limited room furnished by tbe Congregational church building will be sufficient for tbe audience which will turn out listen to him. We are informed that M. J. Ander son the well known and popular blacksmith, of Dufur, bids fair to be in a position in the near future to lay aside his tools and rest during the re mainder of his life. He is patentee of a summer fa'.low machine, which has been used very successfully in cultivat ing summer fallow and killing weeds. A large eastern impliment firm bas heard of his invention and have sent their representative to see Mr. Ander son and get his permission to allow hem to manufacture the same under the condition tbat they pay bim a royalty. He bas met the representa tive and arraoged that a royalty of seven dollars be payed him on every macbine turned out, and contracted that one thousand machines be manu factured tbe Cast year while during the second and third year of the con tract 5000 machines will be manufac tured annually with the same royalty Poultry Netting.

Prompt action on the oartof N Whealdon prevented what would have certainly been a serious runrway and knocked the Mountaineer out of a good item yesterday afternoon. One of the Mell brothers, of Klickitat county, left a four borse team standing in front of Maier & Benton's store while he went in to make some purchases. The team got tired of waiting and started up the street on a wxlk and as they passed Mr. Wbealdon's office they be gan to increase their pace. Mr. Whealdon jumped into the wagon and succeeded in getting hold of the lines just as the team were taking a long breath and making ready for a grand rush. He got them stopped withou difficulty in front of Charles Stephen's store. Had he failed to get bold of the lines when he did he would have been in a very uncomfortable position, in short notice, and we might have bad. an obituary instead of this short men tion. Representative Jones, of North Yakima, received a dispatch Sunday from Senator Foster, now in Washing ton, i bat the sheep raisers would have to get their flocks off the Rainier re serve by tbe Zoto. Tbe senator bad failed to have tbe time extendod as be expected. A letter to Mr. Jones from Secretary Hitchcock stated that the sheepraisers are on the reserve in violation of the law, which will be en forced to the letter. He says the superintendent issued permits without authority and will be asked to exrjiain his action. Mr. Jones will meet the sheep raisers .the 23d, and a plan for trislation this wi jter will be prepared' Closing the reserve so early will cause the sheepmen much loss and incon venience, as the season is not ended. The seeep raisers expect to winter their flocks in Yakima and in the pring either sell out or move to Mon- taDa or Idaho, unless favorable legisla- tion can be secured. George Johnston and wife, of Dufur, are in the city today. Mr. Johnston informs us that the Dufur public school opened last Monday with a total enrollment of 80 pupils, while a. great many have not vet entered school on account of harvesting being unfin ished. It is expected tbat in a short time the enrollment will be swelled to a marked degree by pupils from other districts, who realize the splendid op portunities offered by this school. Prof. R. R. Allard holds the position of principal, while he has two able as sistants in the persons of George W. Brown and Mrs. Rebecca V. Wilson, both of whom take a great interest in education. Prof. Allard will cer tainly prove to be the right man in the right place as he is a person who takes every interest in the work, while on the other band the people in tbe Dufur district take a singular pride in having a good school and will do all they can to encourage him. From Thursday's Dally. Sam Bannett, of Tygh, is in the city. A. A. MacLeod, the Goldendale merchant is in the city today. C. W. Meyer, of Wheeler county, spent yesterday in the citj buying goods .ind visiting old friends. Fred Houghton. Mr..Vorce and Mi. Bates were passengers on tbe boat ibis morning for White Salman Marriage license was granted today to Harry Hackett and Miss Emma Crapper. Both tbe young people are residents of Hood Riverin this county. Geo. Hunler, of Park Place. Oregon, who bas been visiting his friends in Eastern Oregon, came to towj yes'er day and expects to return to his borne in a few days. All his old friends here were pleased to welcome him. ;-The marriage of Albert Shelton to 'Maud Levert took place at Golden dale.1 last Sunday. Both bride and groo&X have numerous friends hero who join with the Times Mountianeer in extending congratulations ajd best wishes to the young people. A Jap, who works on tbe section at a point east of The Dalles which is known as tbe Company Mess bouse, mashed one of his fingers very severely yesterday morning. He came to Tbe Dalles and had the injured member dressed by one of the O. R. & N. Co.'s physicians. In bis lecture on the Philippines and bis experience as a volunteer soldier, Earl Sanders will devote some time to another matter of great inter est, namely tbe life on tbe transports going to and from tbe islands. This is a matter about which little has been said and will add much to the interest of the young soldier's lecture. A character, charged with being drunk and disorderly, was landed in jail yesterday afternoon and allowed the acommodations afforded by the city bastile until this morning in which to sleep off his jag. He was brought before Recorder Gates this forenoon and in the usual penitential mood stated that his name was John Nelson and of course was sorry tbat it all happened and upon being fined S3 paid up and was dismissed. We are informed tbat A. R Graham who lives near Goldendale in Klickitat county, has threshed from a field of over one hundred acrea an average of fifty four bushels and forty pounds of wheat to tbe acre, while D B. Gaunt, whose farm is close to Centerville, threshed an average of 25 bushels on a 500 acre field. This is a remarkably good yield for what is considered an off year. One wonders when passing Mrs. Phillip's millinery establishment if tbe ladies will ever get through ex amining the many beautiful styles in fall and winter hats which she baa on exhibition. One cannot blame them however,when we think of tbe number and variety she has to let tbem pick from and if they are not satisfied with her stock it i not for tbe reason that they bad not enough to chose from, but rather on account of their being hard to please. The people who saw Ringling's cir cus on its recent yisit to Spokane can obtain an idea of tbe size of the tents in which the Spokane Industrial Expo sition will be beld this year by com paring the monster tent of the circus with one of the four big tents of the exposition. The Ringling tent was 180 feet wide and 300 feet long. Be sides this there are three other large tents, a wooden building for machinery hall and a number of buildings of wood and canvas for the poultry, stock and dairy departments. Clinton Alden, brother of Captain Alden of the steamer Regulator, ar rived from Vancouver yesterday to visit friends in Tbe Dalles prior to bis leaving with hie regiment for the Philippine islands. He enlisted in Pendleton some time ago and was one of the two men who passed the final examination out ot 39 wno were r cently examined. He is a perfect man physically, a well trained militia man and oae who will stand splendid chances of promotion. He is visiting old friends here today and will remain until Saturday, when he will be forced to ppnort. for dutv at the' earrison in Vancouver. The route of the new pipa line from Mesplies to Wicks' place on mill creek was looked over by the members of the water commission accompanied by engineer Robert yesterday afternoon and Mr. Roberts was instructed to survey the same and raport as to the cost of such a line. Mr. Roberts is engaged in surveying the line today and will soon be able to tell what it will cost the DeoDle of The Dalles to put in this most necessary improve ment. Mr. . John Parrott returned from Goldendale yesterday where he has been on a business trip. He states that that town is raining steadily in population and new buildings are he ins- put ud all tne time, me new dormitory for the Klickitat academy has been completed and will acorn raodate about 45 pupils. Other im provements have also oeen maoe to add to the acommodations. Almar Baker, of Baker Bro. has just begun to errect a new $4000 residence and several smaller buildings are under course of erection so that Goldendale is booming. A. J. Douclas. of Dufur. is in the citv todav. He states that since tbe city council of the town of Dufur have passed an ordinance closing bowling alleys and pool rooms in Dufur he Lhinks verv seriouslv of moving to the Palouse country where ho will have an an eauallv pood field to operate his largesteam thresher, a good country to farm and a muncipal corporation -where a bowling alley and billard room can be conducted without the council Dassinc ordinances against su-;h innocent amusements. Mr, Douglas is one of the best citizens in that community and such a man can be ill spared from any place. The sheepmen who are grazing their flocks on the forest reserve have once more beeu notified by private letter from Forest Superintendent D. B. Shelier tbat all sheep must be removed from the Mount Rainier forest, reserve by or before September 25th or they will be driven off by the forest rang ers. This makes it very inconvenient for the sheepmen as it leaves them without any range on which to run their sheep from now until the usual time for taking the sheep out of the mountains. In the whole state of Washington there is but one piece of ranp-e left which is a small strip, tbat would furnish pasture to about 50,000 sheep, located west of Camas Prairie. The Washington sheepmen are de termined to either sell thei sheep or move them to some other state. Many persons who desire to place small sums of money in a safe place are taking advantage of the postoffice regulation allowing them to buy post office orders, payable to themselves. They thus feel assured that their money is in a safe place, where tbey can get it any time tbey want it. Even if they lose their money-order they can get a duplicate, and if the government should pay tbe money to the wrong person the mistake will be made good. Postal orders are being largely used now in transmitting money from one country to an other, this being a safe and cheap method of making such transfers. The Japanese are among tbe best customers of the yostoffice in foreign business. The orders are sold payable in American coin or the coin of the country in which they are payable, and the money-order clerks have a table of comparative values, which enab'.es tbem to fix the amount to be paid fur a certain sum of American money in the coin of any country in the uni verse. ' From Friday's Dally. Pat Bradagan, tbe sheep king, of Antelope, is in the city. Harry Morse, of Portland, is visiting relatives in this city. Mrs. Lauretson left for Felds land ing on the boat to visit friends. Mrs. Zacbary Taylor, of Antelope, is a guest at tbe Umatilla House.

L Freeland, of Hepener, representative of Morrow county, is visiting Dalles friends. Johnnie Daffron returned from Port land yesterday where he has been suc cessfully operated on for appendicitis by Dr. McKenzie. William Rinzelman was committed to the county jail yesterday by Justice Bayard. He being charged with tbs crime of larceny. Johnnie Booth, formerly rl this city, who resides in Portland at present, arrived on the boat last evening and is meeting old friends today. W. A. Maxwell, editor of the Arling ton Record, is in the city, having re turned last evening from Corvallis, where be has been placing bis son in the agricultural college. Mr. and Mrs. Emil Schanno ac companied by their little grandchild went to the Cascade Locks on tbe boat this morning to spend a day on the river. They will return on the Dalles City tonight. Clarke & Falk have secured the ex clusive agency for James E. Pattoos celebrated mixed paints in Klickitat, Kititas and Skamania Co's. Wash. Wasco, Crook, Gilliam, Sherman and Wbeller Co,s. Oregon., On Wednesday evening ol next week tbe Degree of Honor will give a social at which dancing will be tho principal amusement. Prof. Birgfielu has been engaged to furn:sh music. Genu will be charged 25 cents and ladies 15 cents. Frank Fionell, the murderer of Thomas Morran, on Trout creek sever al weeks ago, is still at liberty ana nothing nas oeen neara .recently to throw any light on his whereabouts. He has evidently" left for parts un known and it is doubtful if the authori ties will be able to locate him cs be if most likely to be hundreds of miles beyond their reach. A special train carrying a party of about sixty, consisting of New York mining engineers and their wives ar rived in this city at 8:45 this morning. They telegraphed ahead tbat they desired to make the trip by river from this place to Portland and the Regu lator waited until tbey arrived leaving The Dalles with the entire party at about 9 o'clock. They are on their wav to the national convention minincr pnerineers which will be bed in San Francisco i n a few days.

Ira Nelson, who for several months has been proprietor of the barber shop near tbe Germania saloon bas sold out his business to L. L Van Nortwick and left for Portland with his family on the boat today, where he will ac cept a position in the shop of S. H Howard. Mr. Nelson is a genial gentleman and his many friends regret seeing him leave. A movement is on foot for the sale of the Golconda mine, seven miles from Sumpter. English captilists have been looking at tbe mine, and have sent in aaorable report to tbe buyers,- and an answer is now expected. The price is not given out, but is said to be be tween $500,000 and $1,000.000.. About $200,000 has been invested by J. T English so -far. and about half tbat much taken out in a few months that the mine has been in operation.' J. A. Heatb, one ot the prosperous farmers from the Grass Valley neigh borhood, is visiting Dalles friends. He stales that while the wbeat crop in Sherman county will not average as muco as in Wasco the grain is turning out bette than expected. Most of the grain is being hauled to Wasco, Moro and Grass Valley and shipped over the Columbia Southern, while a few farmers are hauling to Biggs and even to Tbe Dalles. R. G. Davenport received word this morning that his nephew Willie Gil lespia, aged 12 years. w..s accidentally shot at Coulee City, Okanogan county, Washington. It appears tbat be, in company with some other boys and young men were out target shoot ing. One of tbe young men turned bis gun towards the crowd when it was accidentally discharged and young Gillespie was killed instantly. Tbe boy's remains were brought home as tbe parents were seated at tbe break fast table and as tney knew nothing about the accident until the boy's re mains were carried in, tbe shock. must have been terrible. It was purely an accident and no blame rests on the young man who had the gun when it was discharged. AGENT COWEN'S REPORT. The Warm Spring Indians What They Are Dolus and What Thpy Need. The annual report of Agent James Cowen, pf tbe Warm Springs agency, Oregon, has been received at Wash ington, and shows a ' total of 968 Indians at that asrency, 300 Wasco and, TeDino, 512 Warm Springs and 96 Piutes. - , . Tbe land of this agency is much better adapted to stock raising than' farming, being rough and mountain ous. The grasses are suitable Tor tne stock, although along the water course there is much fertile and productive land, and all kinds of ground where vegetables can be produced. The flat highlands in ordinary season yield a good harvest of rye, barley and wheat. Tbe Indian? are mainly industrious. Tbey are 'anxious to secure good houses, but are deficient in taking care of their households, and do not -econo mize their supplies. A competent field matron to labor among tbe In dian women would do much to rectify these faults. The Indians are mainly self-supporting, although some of the older ones are dependnt to a great degree upon government assistance. The court of Indian offenses and the Indian police are very competent and familar with their respective duties. Comparatively little trouble is traced to whisky and gambling, as the reser vation is some ways from, town, and these evils not easy of access. During the past year the enrollment of pupils at the boarding school In creased from 129 to 149, with an average attendance of 130. The school farm was well managed, and brought in a good return of hay and vegatables. Tbe assistance tbat the Indians re quire is in tbe way of wagons, harness, plows and agricultural implements to enable tbem prop-rly to cultivate their allotments. Being required to pay for such implements by labor, they are made to appreciate their value and are rendered more careful and selfish of their holding?. Samuel B. Davis took charge of the Warm Springs school on May 15, re lieving W. P. Campbell. He recom mends that the dormitories be enlarg ed to meet tbe demands, made upon them. Advertised letters.

The council of ministers decided today to pardon Captain Alfred Dreyfus, in principle. The pardon will take effect in a few days. Dreyfus has relinquished his appeal for a reversal of the judgement of the court-martial. 'In principle" is an idiom some times used in semi official announce ments of forthcoming actions. It seems to have but slight bearing on the matter, except, perhaps, but that it employs tbe fulfillment of various formalities before tbe pardon is actu ally issued, thereby qualifying the an nouncement of the pardon with slight tentativeness. It is not known yet whether the pardon includes amnesty There is much remark here on the strange coincidence of the death of Scheurer Kestner, tbe first champion Of Dreyfus, and to whom Dreyfus will virtually owe his freedom, on the very day the cabinet decided to pardon the prisoner. Scheurer Kfstuer's death was sudden. He bad been ill during the last few days, but io was not thought his illness would prove fatal. The announcement that Dreyfus was to be pardoned bad already been dis counted by predictions and there was absolutely no excitement along the boulevards when newsboys ran along at about 3:15 p. M., with the first edi tions containiug the statement that the cabinet had decided to narrlon Dreyfus. Everyone expected it and the decision met with no ooDosition. The Droits Del Homme, socialist or gan, says: "Our task remains the same after as before the liberation of Dreyfus, to continue the campaign against all those who are responsible for the lamentable affair, and unmask the forgers, traitors and false wit nesses, even though they may be covered with glittering decorations." It is said that Dreyfus will be sent abroad before the promulgation of his pardon in order to avoid demonstra tions. THIS SETT US IT. Banna Sayi It Would Be Olssracefnl to Sell the Philippines. New Yoek, Sept. 19. Last night be fore starting for Cleveland, tbe atten tion of Senator Hanna, of Ohio, was called to the alleged interview with Li Hung Chang, in which the Chinese statesman advised selling tbe Philip pines. "Perhaps tbe Chinaman did not say it," said the senator. "It may be a harmless fake. But even if he did, what does it traiter? The idea is pre posterous. It would be more than a disgrace to the United States to barter away tbe islands It would be a repudiation to our moral obligations to tbe civilized world. The nations of Europe are watching to see what we are going to do in the Philippines. Tbe thinking classes look with satis faction on this country's present polijy. , "The president has outlined his policy for the Philippines. It is broad charitable and sincere, and what might be expected from a clearheaded states man. The people as a rule heartily indorse that policy. We did not fight the Spaniards in order to secure pos session of the Philippines. They came to us unexpectedly. The insurgents under Aguinaldo are a small percent age of the people. P?ople in this country who are supporticg Aguinaldo do so from a weak beaded sentimen tality tbat is quickly dissipated when he actual conditions are confronted." Yellow fever at Key West. Washington, Sept. 19 The yel low fever situation at Key West is regarded as grave. Since the first case was reported about three weeks ago, tbe epidemic bas been steadily growing until today there were almost 400 cases New cases are appearing at the rate of 303 day, but tbe mortality is low. Fifty four cases and two death were reported for Sunday and Monday.

The Dis cussion expects a general strike tomor row and says: "We sympathize with the endeavor of the stockholders to obtain an eight hour day. The present time, however, is inopportune, as many men are out of work and have been for considerable periods. The labor leaders should have selected a later date for a general strike, should be better prepared to resist tbe extra expense and hardship owing to the want of work, as Havana will be without meat or milk and al most without the necessary means ot life If their project is carried out now."
