they ar holding for an advance in the

A large shipment of flour from
Heisler & Sons mill at Dufur was sent
to Portland on tbe Regulator today.
Since tbe construction of this mill it
has made a reputation for itself by tbe
splendid grade of flour turned out and

dance of buyers for . their product.
They cot only supply a large territory
south of Dufur, but also ship a large
amount annually to various points in

put down on the floor between the

thini; arranged first class, so that
b"wling can be thoroughly enjoyed by
the lovers of this sport. For a time
everyone seemed to loose interest to a
certain extent in this pastime, but
after resting during the summer they ,
are beginning once more with renewed
energy.
Cbarlts Kramer, who was arrested iu
this city and taken to Sherman county
for bis preliminary hearing on a
charge of obtaining money under false
pretences will, if tbe injured party
cares to press tbe case, have to answer
to the more serious crime of forgery
in Wasco county. While in Tbe
Dalles he wrote out four worthless
checks amounting in all to f 175, and
cashed them with a business man in
this city. If tbe party decides to
press tbe case Kramer will be likely to
spend a few years behind the bars.
In the case of J, C. Baldwin against
Dalles City which, Is a suit to deter

claimed by both parties, the plain
tiff J. C. Baldwin has appealed to the

made by H. L. Kuck, of Tbe Dalles,
with padded seat and roll in front, also
a silver mounted bridle. This after
noon Sheriff Kelly found the horse In
tbe city pound and tbe tbeif must have
turned him loose, while the saddle and
bridle are still undi6coyerd.
The Idaho boys demonstrated their
ability as fighters while here last night
by getting into two lively fistic encoun
ters. While eating supper one of tbe
boys made a slighting remark about a
comrade which caused bard feelings.
Immediately after the meal was over
they came together is the office of tbe
Umatilla house and as the offended
party was held off, one of his friends
stepped in as hia proxy and for a time
It looked as if a general free for all
fight would ensue. Several bad blows
were struck, but tbe officers stopped
the trouble before any others had time
to take part and some bloody noses
was the only result. Some local talent
also got mixed up with the soldiers,
but one of the latter pulled a gun and
the aggressor from The Dalles sneaked
in double quick time.

night. Ambrose was one of tbe most

W. R. Winans, who Is In the city

as nicely as any we have ever seen.
It beig tbe quality known as cyanide

any quantity of it, as the ledge extends
for a mile in length while tbe depth

Ed". Former, of Prlneville, arrived in
Pendleton on Wednesday with 10,000
sheep for Eastern shipment. Tbe
sheep are from Crook county, and
came through in fine shape. They
were delivered to James Wright, the
Eastern buyer. Mr. Wright will ship
5,000 more from ' there In a few days.
Mr. Fortner states that tbe conditions
affecting the sheep and cattle interests
in Prlneville and Crook county are
highly satisfactory to growers. Prices
are high, and tbe demand is strong for
all classes of wool producers? The
weather aod grass conditions are good,
Tbe question Is asked by many of
our business men of why it is that so
little wheat is being hauled to The
Dalles this year in comparison to other
years, and what influence Is brought to
bear on the Klickitat farmers to in
duce them to haul their grain to Col
umbus in preference to this t place?
The road leading to The Dalles
is better than ever before for hauling
on, while no improvement is noticable
in the road leading to Columbus. If
someone who has Inside information
on this question can give a satisfactory
and plausible answer the Times
Mountaineer will gladly publish the
same.
Another Palouse rancher comes to
the front with the report of a mam
moth yield of wheat. The rancher is
Mr. Thurston. He reports that on his
ranch on one patch of 50 acres be
raised. 73 bushels to the acre of red
Russian wheat. The man who did the
threshing Is Hugh Shaw, who has a
machine he rented of Elder brothers.
Sbaw vouches for tbe phenomenal
yield in this field, and the threshing
men after completing their job
measured tbe field with a tape line.
Several farmers also have satisfied
themselves by proving the statement,
and tbe big crop is the talk of tbe
neighborhood, and among the local
grain men Pendleton Tribune.
Pauline, the twenty-one months old

Admiral Dewey Arrives
in New York.
New York, Sept. 26. Mnch to the
surprise of every one in tbe city the
Olympia witn Admiral ,Dewey on
board arrived of Sandy Hook lightship
at 5:55 this morning. The Olympia
sailed from Gibraltar September 10.
There was a heavy mist ua the sea,
and at first tne marine observers were
inclined to think the yessel tighted
might be the Chicago, Rear-Admiral
Howison's flagship, hardly believing
thao Dewey would arrive two days
ahead of time. The doubt was soon
cleared away, however, and as pass
ing vessels recognized the flagship
from Manila bay thero was a con
tinuous blowing of whistles in salute
One of tbe first large vessels to
sight tbe Olympia was the passenger
steamer Sandy Hook, of the Sandy
Hook line, which left Atlantic High
lands shortly after 7 o'clock, for her
New York dock. Just as she got well
under way, a war vessel was seen
through the fog and the passengers
and crew, headed by the Sandy Hook's
captain gathered at the rail to read
tbe newcomer's name. To get near
enough to do this the Sandy Hook
changed ber course and headed
irectly for the Olympia, blowing her
whistle in salute as she did so. As
i soon as the name was made out the
Sandy Hook s passengers cheered with
all their might, and in a few moments
an answering cheer came over the
water from the warship's sailors, many
of whom were gathered on deck.
The flagship came up to the lower
bay and anchored inside Saudy Hook.
As soon as the anchor was dropped an
orderly was sentashore with dispatches
from tbe admiral and other officers.
ue said tnat toe snip nad bad a
pleasant trip across the Atlantic, and
all on board were well and glad to be
home again. Eleven of the crew of 375
men are sick with a mild type of
typhoid fever, none of the cases being
serious.
The Dolphin, - flying Rear-Admiral
Sampson's flag, was sighted about 1
o'clock. The Olympia fired a salute
and the marines were cailed up to re
ceive the rear-admiral. A moment
afterward the rear-admiral anu ad
miral shook hands:
Dewey said: "Look at those marines.
Did you ever see a finer body of men?"
The rear-admiral complimented
them and said to Dewey: "Are you
well?"
"Don't I look well?" asked Dewey.
He certainly did. He was clear-
eyed and his brown complexion and
smart step showed his perfect health.
I am well, admiral," said Dewey, a
moment later, "but I feel a bit tired.
When a man's been aboard ship nearly
two years, be needs something of tbe
shore. I am awfully glad to be among
my own people again."

Lieutenant Oilman and Party to Be Given
Pp.
New Yobk, Sept. 26. A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: Tbe
two Englishmen wbo assert that they
were shipwrecked in a small open boat
near Bigaa, at tbe northern part of
Luzon, bring a message from the in
surgent general, Pantela, stbat 14
American priaioners wbo are now held
at Tarlas will be released on Tuesday
or Wednesday. Tbe delay in releasing
ths priaioners, as promised soveral
days ago, is due to tbe fact that the
Filipinos wish to furnish the men new
clothing when they set them freo.
The Englishmen say that Lieutenant
C. Gilmore and the captured boat's
crew from the York town are still at
Bigaa, but will be released later, in
accordance with the diclslon of the
Filipinos cot gress, and the subsequent
decree of .Aguinaldo proving for the
surrender of all American prisoners.
The admitted purpose of the Filipinos
is thus freeing tbe Americans to Im
press foreign powers.
The Englishmen say that Lieutenant
Gilmore and his men are not being
treated well. Tbey are only receiving
20 cents a day each for rations.
The released Englishmen assert that
three Americans who were taken pris
oners have accepted commissions in
the insurgent army. One of the three
is said to have been a sergeant, but his
regiment is unknown; another is said
to bave been a corporal in toe Cali
fornia regiment, while the third is a
negro. .

Neither the jingoes nor anti-war party

ing gracefully with the tide. Her
string of signal lights was kept con
stantly changing, and there was t
veritable pyrotechnical display as the
answers were flashed across tbe bav
to the salutation of passing ships. A
Search light from Sir Thomas Lip
ton's yacht, tbe Erin, was kept flash
ing around tbe Olympia until almost
daybreak, making the cruiser stand
out in bold relief, to the delight of
landsmen and tbe gratification of
watchers on many of the vessels in
the bay.
At 6:45 the cruiser Chicago, flying
tbe ipennant of Rear-Ad miral Howl
soo, passed -in at the narrows aod re
ceived a salute of guns from Fort
Hancock. As sbe neared the Olympia
her rapid fire guns belched forth an
admiral's salute, which tbe Olympia
returned with 13 guns, tbe salute for
rear-admiral. As the Chicago passed
close to the Olympia, Dewey, who was
on tbe quarterdeck, returned How-
Ison's salute, and shouted out a greet
ing. The sailors on the Olympia
manned tbe rail, and returned tbe
hearty 'cheers of the Chicago's crew.
Tbe Chicago proceeded to Tompkins
ville. At 8:30 o'clock, the Dolphin, flying
the secretary cf the navy's flag, hove
in sight, having on board Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Allen, wbo was
received with a salute.
The slope of the forts were crowded !
with soldiers, aod as the first gun I
belched forth its welcome they cheered
lustily. The face of the hero of Manila
was wreathed in smiles as bis ship
answered gun for gun. A little later
the cruiser joined Admiral Sampson's
fleet off Tompkicsville, which thunder
ed out its welcome to the commander-in-chief.
Dewey's relatives, who have been
stopping at the Waldrof-Astoria as
guests of the city, started on the gov
ernment tug Markeeta at 9:30 this
morning to pay a visit to tbe admiral
on the Olympia. There was 15 in the
party.
Beginning today there will be a real
crush in the New York hotels. Prac
tically all of them were filled to their
utmost capacity last night, but thou
sands of persons who engaged rooms
weeks and month? ago will arrive in
the city t3day to claim them. Other
thousands who were accommodated
last night with the understanding that
they should seek other quarters today
will be turned out to shift for them
selves. Officials of tbe Metropolitan
system said that traffic figures turned
in indicated that already there were
probably 1,000,000 visitors in tbe city.
President Yreeland said there woula
be double the number on Friday aod
Saturday.

Agent L. B. Geer, who is making a
tour of the state, looking after state
land Interests, in a letter from Mvrtle

"While at Gold Beach, tbtra was a
dwelling-house burned within 100
yards of where I was sleeping. A good
ola lady, Mrs. Edson, lived In tbe
house all alone, and it. seems some
fiend went there and murdered her in
ber bed and then poured coal oil over
her and set fire to the bouse. Tbe old
lady was so completely burned up that
thero were but few of her bones saved,
and they all crumbled to pieces.
This same lady's husband and two
sons were killed by the Indian in
1856, and their bodies were also burned
in their house, while she and ber
daughter were carried away captives
aod afterwards recued by the whites."
The letter does not state when the

A STRINGENT FOOD LAW.
Prohibits the Dm of Anenle or Alum In
all Articles of Diet. '
Tbe law enacted by the Missouri
legislature, a copy of which was re
cently published In our columns, and
hich prohibits tbe manufacture or
sale of any article Intendnd for food or
to be used in the preparation of food,
whicb contains alum, arsenio, am
monia, etc, places that state In the
lead ia the matters of sanitary legis
lation. Laws restricting the use of alum In
bread bave been in force in England,
Germany and France for many years.
In this country, in Minnesota, Wis
consin. Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky
and several other states, direct legis
lation in reference to the sale of alum
baking powders ha? also been affected.
In several of these states their sale is
prohibited unless they are branded to
show that tbey contain alum, and in
the District of Columbia, under the
laws of congress, the sale of bread
containing alum has been made il
legal. .
Following are the names of some of
the brands of baking powder sold in
this vicinity which are shown by re
cent analysis to contain alum. House-
koepers and grocers should cut tbe
list out and keep it for reference: '
