The Dalles has one of the best flour

mills. Its flour is recognized as first

it needs another mill just as good and
of equal capacity. There is entirely
too much wheat shipped away from
here that should be ground into flour.
It would be a' first rate investment for
capital to establish another mill here
that would turn out as good flour as la

A. phamphlet just issued by Prof.
Washburn, state biologist, entitled
Some Winter Birds of Western Ore
gon" is well worthy of the. attention o
the public, and ss it can be had for the
small sum of 35 cents, it should be in
every household. It gives not only a
description but an illustration of these
winter songsters. An acquaintance
with the denizons of the air is both
pleasant and profitable especially to
the young, and it is hoped that Prof.
Washburn will receive such -encouragement
from the public that he will
extend this work until it embraces all
the feathered tribes of our state.

Today a letter was received from J.
W. Wilson, formerly Of this place, but
who is now at Hilo, Hawaii. Mr.
WilsOn is engaged in business at
Hilo.
Commissioner's court adjnrned yes
terday afternoon for the term. The
only business outside the auditing of
bills was tbe appointment of Arthur
Trask as constable of Falls preclnt, and
the granting of license to Wm Lahey
to run a saloon at Casdade Locks.
Hon. F. N. Jones came In this morn
ing from his farm near Bakeoven, and
says prospects were never more favor
able for stockmen in this oounty than
at present. Grass on the ranges Is
abundant, the little sheep grass being
high enough for horses and cattle to
feed on, and in consequence they are
fat, while sheep are in splendid condi
tion and will go Into the winter with
plenty of flesh on them. As there is'
an abundance of nay every wnere, ne
anticipates there can be no loss what
ever kind of winter weather may come.
Turned the Tables.
For many years past Oregon sheep
breeders have been going to Ohio,
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin for
their fine sheep for breeding purposes,
but now it looks as if the best breeders
of those states will find it to their
advantage to come to this state for
thelr-best blood, Alvln Crtttendon, of
Nova, Ohio, on of the leading breeders
of Delaines in that state, recently
visited the Baldwin Sheep & Land
Co 's farm in Crook oounty, and was
so favorably impressed with the fine
sheep he found there that he purchas
ed a yearling ram front the company's
flocks paying $150 fof him, and will ex
press the animal .to Ohio for use on
uarters for....

his farm. When Ohioans come to
Oregon to purchasefsheep for. breed
ing purposes it is pretty good evi
dence that we have the right kind of
stock, for Ohio is noted forj producing
the best sheep in America. Mr. Crit-
tendon spent several days en the B.
S. & L. farm looking over the flocks
that are kept there, and from the
hundreds he had to select from, whose
merits . were so nearly equal it was a
difficult matter for him to mako a
choice of an animal that was the best,
but he finally made a selection, and
when this representative of Oregon
production is shown on bis farm, it
will not be surprising if other Ohio
breeders come to Oregon to select
good blood with which to improve
their flocks.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Outlook la Mot Favorable That We Will
Get Chemical Engine.
The chief of the fire department, the
subscription collector, and several
members of the board of fire delegates
held an informal meeting last eyening
to consider the matter of the proposed
fire improvements for the city. They
find that the $400 subscribed by the
council, the $300 from the Hook and
Ladder Company and the $100 from tbe
Columbia Hose Company, together
with all that can be. relied upon from
the merchants' subscription list, tbe
total is still $250 short of the necessary
cost of the improvements. Unless tbe
additional $250 is secured before next
Tuesday, the board of delegates will
officially abandon the plan at their
regular meeting that evening. .
. . Delegate.
Tho above is noi encouraging to
those who have earnestly endeavored
to get a reduction of insurance rates
through the purchase of additional fire
apparatus. In fact It is discouraging
and displays a lack of business sagac
ity on the part of property owners.
The proposition was made by the un
derwriters that if certain improve
ments were made to tbe fire depart
ment a reduction of 10 per cent would
be made on insurance rates on busi
ness risks below the bluff. People
were asked to subscribe 10 per cent of
the amount of their insurance pre
miums (just what they would save in
one year) to pay for the required im
provements. Some complied with
this request, while others refused to
subscribe anything. Because of the
failure to receive a full subscription,
tbe board of delegates and subscrip
tion committee find themselves with
only about 90 per cent of the required
amount to make the improvements.
Now will the property owners of the
city allow this state of affairs to exist
or will tbey make up the (250 that are
needed? ,
LAND DISTRICT CHANGES.
hlrty Township Transferred from the
Lakevlew to The Dalles District.
Several weeks ago Register Lucas
noticed what appeared to be an' error
or misconception as to the boundary
line between The Dalles and tbe Lake
view land districts, and the correspon
dence that ensued resulted in the fol
lowing letter being sent by tbe com
missioner of the general land office to
tbe local land office at The Dalles, un
der date of October 31:
"Register and Receiver, The Dalles,
Oregon. Gentlemen: It has been re
cently, decided by this office, that the
boundary line between your office and
tbe Lakeview office, as fixed by tbe
act of April 24, 1872 (17 Stat., fi5), is
the fourth standard parallel south of
the base line, between townships "20
and 21 south, instead of townships 18
and 19 south, as has heretofore been
considered, thus transferring to your
office townships 19 and 20 south, range
9 to 23 east. The tract books prepared
In this office covering said townships
and ranges will be furnished you. The
Lakeview office under even date here
with has bten instructed as to the
change in the boundary line and di
rected to transfer to your office ' the
plats and all the papers relating to the
land in question. I herewith enclose
map of the state of Oregon upon
which the new boundary lines . are
shown. Very respectfully,
Binges Hermann,
Commissioner."
The territory transferred to The
Dalles district embraces thirty town
ships ic Crook county, lying in town
ships No. 19 and 24 south, and between
ranges No. 8 and 24.

Wardner Miner Get 83 Months In Prison
and SHOOO Fine. .
The culminating scene in the long
drawn drama of litigation growing out
of tbe Coeur d'Alene labor troubles
was enacted in the federal court at
Moscow, Idaho, Monday afternoon,
when 10 men found guilty of interfer
ing with the United States mails near
Wardner during the riots of April 29
were sentenced by Judge Boatty each
to serve 22 months in she United States
prison at San Queotin, Cal., and each
to pay a fine of $1000, with the excep
tion of Dennis O'Rourke, who, on ac
count of bis youth, gets off with 20
months and a fine of $1000.
Promptly at 3 o'clock the prisoners,
in custody of the officers, entered tbe
crowded courtroom. Tbe accused re
sponded as their names were called by
Clerk Richardson. Judge Beatty then
arose and addressed them saying:
'.'This is tbe hour I haye set for your
judgment. You have been indicted by
a ernod jury, convicted by a trial jury,
and it devolves upon me to pronounce
your sentence."
- Counsel for defense arose and made
a motion that judgment be suspended
for 20 hours, pending the procuring of
evidence which the prisoners hoped
would alleviate the sentence. Tbis,
Judge Beatty declined to grant, saying
that the trial had been thorough and
fair, and he had fully decided on' what
he should do. Then a motion for .ar
rest o' judgment was made, defend
ants claiming that the charges upon
which tbey were cosvicted were not in
accordance, with the law; that the
count of conspiracy ' and the-count of
obstructing the mails were joined in
the indictment; that the trial for these
acts should have been a separate and
distinct procedure; that the jury was
guilty of misconduct, and that the
court had admitted evidence contrary
to law.
Judge Beaoty overruled the motion
and proceeded to a summary of the
cases preliminary to pronouncing sen
tence. He spoke of tbe lamentable
nature of the affair, expressing con
siderable regret for the prisoners, but
saying he bad to perform his duty of
enforcing the law. ' . -.
ARRESTED FOR LARCENY.
A Vase That Ma. J Developej Into
Some
thing- Sensational.
Thursday morning Mrs. M. H. Bill, of
Mitchell, was arrested here by. Deputy
Sheriff Sexton, on a charge of larceny
of money and a check in Portland, and
was that afternoon taken to to Port-
land by Detective Cordono, of tbe
Portland police force.
Th3 circumstances of the theft of
whicb she is charged, as related by the
Portland chief of police to Sheriff
Kelly are rather sensational and may
lead to a pithy case. It Is stated that
Mrs. Hill aud John Brawt arrived in
Portland from The Dalles on Monday
for the alleged purpose of buying
furniture. They put up at the Mer
chant's hotel, occupying a room with
two beds in it. About 3 o'clock Tues
day morning Brawt awoke and
found the woman gone, also $205 in
cash and a check on the First National
bank of ; The Dalles were missing.
Brawt v began looking' about for his
money as well as the missing woman,
and learning that she bad come to The
Dalles by boat on Tuesday, took 'steps
to have her arrested. ' Mrs Hill re
fuses to 'discues the affair, or to ex
plain how she came in possession of
$118 she spent in one of the stores
here. ...While she was in Portland her
husband and . daughter remained in
The Dalles, and would probably hare
soon been on their' way to Mitchell
had not the arrest been made when it
was.
DEATH OF A NOBLE WOMAN.
Mrs.
Agnes Davis Called From Her Home
- "if., :-i and Family.
J; At her home in this city Wednesday,
Agnes M. Davis, wife of L. S. Davis,
passed away, after an illness of ten
days with pneumonia. Her condition
was not considered dangerous until
during the night, when her heart
ceased to perform its proper functions,
and death came unexpected and speed
ily. 1 Deceased was a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs." Wm. Hinman, early settlers of
Baker county, and was born in Iowa,
November 11, 1861. When a small
child she came to Orepon with her
parents and settled near Baker City,
where on January 21, 1886, she was
married to L. S. Davis. A few years
since they came to The Dalle8,and here
the deceased had formed a large circle
of friends, whose esteem she won by
her many noble traits and kind deeds.
Mrs. Davis was a consistent Chris
tian woman, being a communicant of
the Episcopal church, and was also a
prominent member . of tbe lodge of
Rathbone Sisters. Her death removes
from our midst a loving mother and
affectionate wife, one whose place can
never be taken in the household sur
roundings, and whose place will be dif
ficult to fill in social circles. Besides
her husband and three children, a boy
and two little girls, she leaves two
sisters and three brothers.

The English Capture Two
Thousand Prisoners.
London, Nov. 7. It is announced
in a cable dispatch from Cape Town,
dated Sunday, November 5. that tbe
British have been victorious in an en
gagement at Ladvsmith and that tbe
Boer loss was very heayy, including
2000 prisoners.
New York, Nov. 7. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London Bays:
. Tbe keenest military writers who
analyze the situation, lay stress upon
the fact that the Dutch allies are wast
ing their resources by attacking the
British at too many points, instead of
concentrating their efforts upon one
or two points. . This is true. What
ever advantages the Boers have won
has been from the recklessness of
their enemies.
The Boers have mad a graver tactical
mistakes than the English staff, a!
though its record is not particularly
brilliant in defensive work, and they
have allowed three weeks to slip' 'by
without winning a decisive success by
virtue of overwhelming superiority in
numbers.
London, Nov. 7. An official dis
patch from Ladysmltb, dated Monday,
says: .
"There has been a cessation of hos
tilities since Friday. Only one Kaffir

The Fossil Mining- Betrlon.
For some time past considerable
prospecting has been done in tbe coun
try adjacent to Fossil, and Indications
are very favorable tbat a splendid min
eral belt will be developed there as
soon as some of the property - is taken
hold of by mining men with capital.
Charles Somers, the well known min
ing expert and assayer of this city, has
been at Fossil the past two weeks, and
writes that the mountains south and
east of Fossil are a continuation' of tb
Greenhorn range, and the formation
Is very similar to those mountains.
He has found in tbat section plenty
of porphory and serpentine with quartz
ledges -galore, and particular honey
combed quartz filled with fibrous iron.
"In . my opinion" says Mr. Somers,
Fossil is an extra fine mineral country,
and all that requires . to develop it is
brains, brawn and bullion.'! He has
made tests of rock from 14 ledges, and
glyes tbe result eight assays as follows:

FOR ENGLAND
-
An Uprising of the Ba-
sutos Is Threatened.
New York,' Noy. 8. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: Tbe
danger of a Basuto uprising is now
admitted to be imminent, and this will
affect General Buller's plan of cam
paign and may render necessary the
mobilization of the second army corps.
The Basutos have a large force of
mounted warriors, armed with rifles
and highly skilled mounted infantry,
and they have an innate passion for
fighting and strong animosity towards
the Dutch.
Certainly with the Free State at war
with England, it is impossible for the
British troops to police tbe Basutoland
border or take any but ineffective pre
cautionary measures for averting i
dire catastrophe. The black menace is
now the darkest cloud that is settling
over South Africa.

Boston, Nov. 8. The yote of Massa

follows: Crane, rep. 168,876; Paine,
dem, 103,814. Republicans regard the
result as an indorsement of the policy
of the national administration in tbe
Philippines. On the other band
the democrats, pointing to tbe great
loss in the republican vote, claim that
Massachusetts has entered a protest
against expansion. Especial emphasis
is laid upon the fact that 22,000 republi
cans refrained from voting.
The democrats are jubilant over the
victory in Boston. The democrats
gained seven seats in the legislature,
two in the senate and five in the house,
There were many close contests, and

Be Want in Cuba.
New York, Nov. 9. A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
In order to avoid the charge of mili
tarism already being raised in certain
political quarters and preliminary to
the appointment of ciyil governors
President McKlnley and Secretary
Root are considering the advisability
of withdrawing troops from Cuba and
Puerto Rico. There are now in Cuba
391 officers and 10,796 men, and in
Puerto Rico 108 officers and 3225 men.
In hU annual report, just submitted
to Secretary Root, Brigadier-General
Wood, commanding the department of
Santiago, declares he has too many
troops. Secretary Root telegraphed
General Wood today to make a supple
mental report as to the number of men
In his department and tbe number
which can with safety be withdrawn,
nstructions were sunt several days
ago to General Brooke, commanding
the division in Cuba, to report upon
the advisability of withdrawing troops.
His reply was not favorable to the
proposition.- The conditions in tbe
island, in his opinion, necessitated the
retention of all the men now under
his command.
It is understood tbat Brigadier-Gen
eral Lee, commanding the provinoe.of
Havana and Pinar del Rio, has In
formed the president that, in his opin
ion, all the men in Cuba should re
main. Upon the arrival of General
Ludlow here, he. will be asked to give
his opinion respecting the advisability
of reduolng the military force In the
island.

Thursday Mornlus;.
Washington, Nov. 9. Admiral
George Dewey and Mrs. Mildred Hazen
were married quietly at the rectory of
St. Paul's Catholic church in this city,
shortly before 10 o'clock this morning.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
James F. Machin, pastor of the church
The ceremony was of the simplest char
acter according to the 'rites of the
Catholio church and the only witnesses
besides tbo officiating clergyman, were
Mrs. Washington McLean and Mrs.
Ludlow, wife of Admiral Ludow, mother
and sister respectively of the bride,
and Lieutenant Caldwell, Dewey's sec
retary.
Arrangements for the wedding were
made with all the secrecy which has
attended the whole affair. As Dewey

was required for the performance of
the ceremony.

for tbe sustenance of tbe town.
Tin and Terne figures the present
price to the consumer of Imported
Welsh tin-plate at $5 58 for. a stand
ard box, containing 108 pounds. The
duty accounts for $1 62 of this price.
American tin-plate cost at the mill
$4 621, or $1 05 less. Tbe price is,
however, 56 cents more than the price
of foreign plate In our port before tbe
duty is paid. Taking this statement
from the protectionist as correct, the
American . manufacturer is : getting
about half a cent a pound benefit,
while the consumer losses it cents a
pound. The duty on tin-plate is in
defensible. Oregonian.
Tbe above hardly requires comment.
