rough clothing, but the face had de
composed so that it was difficult to tell

people in Pendleton' at the present

now property is somewhat undervalued.

While farmers harvested a fair
quantity of grain last season, they are
by no means receiving satisfactory
prices for it. No. 1 wheat has fallen
to 49 cents a bushel, and 'lower grades
are selling at 35 cents. One man who
brought in 25 sacks of poor wheat yes
terday sold it for $19, which he
says little more than pays the ex
pense of bringing it here and the ex
penses of himself and team while In

nothing for raising and threshing the
wheat.

'with money"to throw at the birds."
He bas a number of specimens of
Klondike gold that are vary hand

On account of the difference in the
legal weight of a bushel of oats Ore
goo gets a black eye in reports of the
average yield 'per acre. In this state
36 pounds are required to make a
bushel, while in other states generally
the standard is 32 pounds. The stand
ard ought to be changed in Oregon to
conform to that used ty other states as
the existing standard is somewhat con
fusing and disadvantageous to produ
cers. .
Ten barrels of eastern oysters were
recently planted in Yaqoina bay by
State Biologist Washburn. These
oysters are 3 to 4 years old, and run
700 to 800 to the barrel. Not a single
dead ovster was found in the entire
consignment. Through the courtesy
of Manager Stone of the Corvalhs &
Eastern railroad, the west-bound train
was stopped at Oysteryille, and the
oysters were unloaded at the water's
edge within a stone's throw of their
future home. They are of the variety
known as Princess Bay, which were
desired for the reason that they ap
pear to be best adapted to these
waters. Wells, Fargo & Co. made no
charge for transportation.

Obstructing tildewalka.
Portland papers are making a vig'
orous protest against the practice in
vogue in that city in obstructing the
sidewalks with displays of merchandise
and bicycle racks, which they claim In
some places so nearly take up all the
walk that pedestaians often have to
take the streets in order to get by
The papers certainly are justified in
making these complaints. The prac
tlce of some Portland merchants of
occupying two , or three feet of side
walk the whole distance of their stores
to make a display of wares, and then
placing a bicycle rack on the outer
edge of the walk, leaving qply a few
feet of clear space for travel, " is
abominable. It gives visitors to the
city the Impression that their comfort
or convience is not considered and
they make their stay in the city as
short as possible. In The Dalles it is
different. Withery few exceptions,
merchants confine the exhibits they
make to their stores or at least to the
outer walls thereof, leaving the side
walks for the traveling public. Port
land might learn something in good
city regulations by sending a delega
tion here to investigate our methods.

Death of Hlu Hnffner.
After an illness of nearly a year
with consumption, Maud Ruffner died
at the borne of her father on Tenth
street at 5:30 this morning.
Deceased was born in The Dalles on
Marcn 24, 1877, and. had grown to
womanhood here. She was the .sixth
aaugnter ei f eter nunner.and was pos'
sessed of many womanly qualities that
drew to ber a large circle of warm
friends and loving associates. About
a year ago she was 'taken with con
sumption and for the past nine months
has been confined to the bouse, a
patient sufferer waiting for the .final
dissolution to come.
The funeral will take place .from the
family residence tomorrow at 2 o'clock
and will be conducted by Rev. D. V.

Tha Wheat Crop.
The division of statistics of the de
partment of agriculture, at Washing'
ton, bas made an estimate of the
world's wheat supply for the current
year, which shows a de'cline of 22 per
cent in the principal cereal product,
wheat, In the United States, and a
shortage in all wheat producing coun
tries. It Is difficult, under these con
ditions, with a war on our hands and
also a war In South Africa, to under
stand why the price of wheat is so low
in this state. The estimates of the
foreign product are based upon re
ports made by the Hungarian Minis
ter of Agriculture, Beerbon's trade
list of London and the Bulletin des
Halles, of Paris, which is as good au
thority as can be had.
The Push club has received -another
letter from Congressman ' Moody in

PROBABLY A FOUL MURDER.
Mystery Surrounding the finding, of a
- Body In the Columbia.
The finding of tbe bedy of a man
floating in the Columbia at the big
eddy above The Dalles by Walter Roy
last Saturday may lead to the disclo
sure of a foul murder that has been
committed at some point up the river
within the past month.
Yesterday, Justice P. J. Rorick, of
Rockland precinct, Klickitat county,
held an inquest over tbe remains, and
called to bis assistance as experts, Dr.
J. H. Hudson, of tl.is city, and Dr. V.
T. Cook, of Rockland.
An examination of the body made
by Drs. Hudson and Cook in presence
of tbe jury, disclosee the fact that It
wa? the body of a white man between
tne age of do and 40 vears. It was
clad in a blue jumper, cotton flannel
undershirt, knit drawers and eonires?
sboefr, without r.ny stockiDgs. A pe
culiar feature of the clothing was that
I be drawers were fastened with a stick
seyeral ioches long instead of a but
ton, longer than any one would uee
for a fastener if be were alive, and this
loads to the belli f that the drawt rs
had heen fait-nel after tbe mao wan
dead. An ui.il the wai.t was a leather
i:rai, which might have been used as
u belt or i. mii?ht have been used to
attach a weight to the body. On the
head were several scalp wounds that
had the appearance of having teen
made with some sharp instrumei t.
The body had apparently been in ibe
water for a month, and was 60 badly
decomposed as to be beyond rncogni
lion.
The physicians on examining tbe
dead man's teeth discovered that some
expensive work had been done in bis
moutb. probably costing $75, which
indicates that he had at some time been
well-to-do. A ppare u tly there had been
no dental work done on the lower
teeth, but there were gold filings in
the left latteral incisors and two mid'
die incisors and in one of the right
bicuspids. The two left upper bi
cuspids had been extracted and in
their place were two gold teeth, bridg
ed between the canine and first molar,
both of which were crowned giving
the appearance of four gold teeth.
Dr. Hudson has the crowns and gold
teeth at his office in this city, and they
may at some future time serve as
evidence in identifying the murdered
man, as the work in the mouth would
readily be recognized by the dentist
who did it.
From appearances there was about
two weeks growth of stiff black beard
on the face of deceased, but the features
wore past recognition.
The jury before whom the inquest
was held returned a verdict that tbe
body was that of an unknown man who
came to his death from causes not
known to jury, but it was the opinion
of all who were present at the inquest.
that the deceased had been murdered,
but where and by whom could not be
determined' by the jury.

ONE VICTIM OF VESUVIUS."
Am Amerlesa Who Loot Hla Ufe
the BuralMg MouataUa WUttr.
Ttui AeTO.
Thee came near being a tragedy on
Mount Vesuvius recently, when several
ladies ventured too near the crater
acd were all but swept away by
streams of molten lava which poured
from the mountain. This fact recalls
the sad death nearly 50 years ago ot
Mr. Charles Carroll Bayard, of Dela
ware, who had many relatives in Mary
land and was widely known in this
state.
The accident which cost Mr. Bayard
his life happened in 1S50. He was an
officer in the navy and, arriving at
Naples, a party of naval officers and
others was made up to visit the crater
of Vesuvius, which was then semi-
active. . Among those with him was
the late Charles Tucker Carroll, of Bal
timore, father of Mr. J. Howell Carroll,
now United States consul at Cadiz. Mr.
Bayard was the brother of the late
Biohard B. Bayard, father of Mr.Bieh
ard H. Bayard, of Baltimore, and a rel
ative of the late Thomas F. Bayard.
The party Had reached the summit
of the mountain, when suddenly there
was a shower of red-hot stone thrown
high in the air. All hands took to their
heel, and a few moments later discov
ered that Mr. Bayard was lying on the
ground behind them. One of the heavy
stones had struck him on the arm,
making- a frightful wound. He was
taken back .to Naples and given the
tenderest nursing, but he died, and his
body, is buried there, his tomb having
been suitably marked in later years.
A strange thing about the accident
was the fact that Mr. Bayard was loath
to make the trip which ended in his
death. He had a presentiment that he
ought not to go, and even in the car;
riage on tbe way to the mountain top
he caused the vehicle to be stopped and
declared that he would get out and
walk back to Naples. His companions
remonstrated with him and tried to
convince him that his presentiment
was bni a foolish fancy, and he finally
consented to accompany the party.
When he was hurt none of his friend
,had the slightest idea that he was fa
tally injured and believed that he
would be. well in a few weeks. Not so
with him, though. "You may ampu
tate my arm," he said, "or doanything
you like,, but you cannot save my life.
I am going to die. I felt it when -1
started for the mountain, and now
that this has happened I am convinced
that nothing can save me."
. He was right. He lingered for about
ten days and then death came, Balti
more Sun.

Light Plant Improvements.
Electric light is one thing that will
sell in The Dalles, and the Electric
Light Company have found their plant
insufficient to supply the demand,
therefore they have begun adding to
their machinery, and are preparing to
put in another 1000-light dynamo
Tbls will necessitate more power,
hence they have bought another
Columbia pattern engine, manufac
tured by Lane & Baddle at Cincinnati,
Ohio, for which J. A. Arthur & Co.,
of Portland, are agents. The new
engine is a 14 inch bar, 42 inch stroke,
with a capacity of 125 horse power. A
n?w boiler 72 Inches by 16 feet will
also be put In besides the present
boilers that are in use. With these
new improvements the company will
be enabled to supply all the light that
is demanded here, and with the addi
tional power will be able to increase
the quality of tha light. All"the new
machinery will be placed on concrete
foundations and will be first class in
every respect. " .
