kick only against the poor condition
. of the roads and the over abundance
of moisture.

Ihe Business Men's carnival will be
given on Tuesday, Deo. 12th, instead
' of the 11th, as previously announced.
The "Carnival" has been given in a
great many other cities and always
proves a great success judging from
the interest taken- by our business men
, and the young ladies taking part the
reputation of the entertainment will
La sustained here. "V
'.William Hanley, a stockman of Har
ney county, has shipped 22 carloads of
cattle to Grande Ronde valley for
feeding. The band which numbers
600 head, has been taken to the Mo-
Connell place out in the' Valley. Mr.
Hanley has returned to his home near
Burns and will In a short time make
another shipment of stock to that sec
tion similar to the first one.
The Chinese, who for years have
taken out millions of dollars from the
rich placer mines near Sumpter will
soon have to resort to other means of
making a living as the white men who
own the ground find that with modern
' means of working the mines they can
make a much greater profit than by
leasing the land to the celestials, and
when this is done they will be able to
realize the real .wealth of these mines.
Mrs. Jack Parker, of Heppner, a
, young bride attempted suicide Wed
nesday night by taking almost an
, ounce of carbolic acid. Doctors were
summoned and after several hours
work stated that the patient showed
'favorable symptoms and might recover,
No cause for the rash act is givon
more than that the young wife is but a
mere child and may have been the
victim of an imaginary rather than
real wrong. - '' " '
'. ' Coroner Butts was called to Caseade
Locks last night to hold aa inquest over
. the remains of .an unknown man who
was killed near that place, as near as
. we could learn, by being run over by a
; train. The message simply stated that
the victim was a stranger and quite
youug, but as Mr Butts left on the early
morning train and has not yet returned
, nothing futher could be learned. It is
: likely thai it is another case of where
someone fell from a breakbeam, while
; stealing a ride.

Last evening The Dalles and vicin

change. The continuous rain fall
which has been causing so many to
complain ceased and a marked change
towards , winter weather was noted
by everyone. A heavy frost, the first
of the season covered the ground this
morning and it looks as if the rainy
season which so much resembles the
western Oregon fall and - winter has
ended, and that our usual winter
weather is now In order. - '
Yesterday afternoon Samuel Johns,

A gentleman who enjoys the sport
of pigeon shooting asks if it is any
more cruel to shoot pigeons from a
tra than It is to catch Utile flies on
tangle-foot paper? Both are cruel
roettjoda, but perhaps the latter is
most excusable, for the little flies are
a nuisance, and to destroy them Is con
sidered a necessity, while pigeons are
not, and shooting them Is only a
pleasure.
Yesterday's Oregonian contained
the artistic Columbia river scene from
Columbus, taken by Mr. GifFord of this

Farrell place across the rlyer from
Seufert Bros, farm and are distributed
along the line for about three miles.
A telephone line runs between the
camps and this city connecting with
the Seufert & Condon exchange which
makes it convenient ordering the nec

Today J. B. Crossen, superintendent
of the water commission, is circulating
the voting list among the tax payers
in order to learn if they approve of the
desire of the commission in sinking a
hole with the diamond drill for artesian
water,, in Thompson's addition or
at a point south of town, and above
the reservoir. The vast majority of
the taxpayers seem to favor the propo
sition and it is likely that Knight and
Stone will be employed to sink the
hole as soon as they finish prospect
ing for Seufert Bros.
Thu coming year will no doubt be
one of unusual prosperty to Sherman
county says the Grass Valley Journal
The extraordinary amount of rainfall
coupled with spring like weather up to
the present ' time has given the fall
sown grain such a start as the oldest
citizen never saw. The grass is good
and stock looks well. In addition to
this, the Columbia Southern railway
is extending its road, thereby dis
tributing and spending thousands of
dollars in the country; so taking all
things into consideration, we can see
nothing but the bright rainbow of hope
and prosperity in the coming year for
us

miles further north, the rate' is but
f 1.50 per 100.

CHARLES B.
JOHNSTON DEAD
He Passes Away In Portland
Thursday
Sight.
Charles B. Johnston, of The Dalles,
died in Portland on Thursday night,
of last week. '
The deceased was well known in
this city haying lived here for about
four years being employed during this
time with the firm ot Mays & Crowe
and A. M. Williams & Co.
While on the road for the latter
firm several months ago he was taken
sick and was forced to go the hospital
in foruana tor treatment. Me was
afforded temporaay relief and for
time it was thought he was on the
road to recovery when the malady,
which was consumption, came on in
such a severe, form that hopes of his
recovery were given up and it was
plain that it was only a matter of
time.
The deceased was born in Sacra
mento, California, about 32 years ago,
and was married to Miss Annie Van
Vac tor, of Goldendale, in 1890.
About 4 years ago he located in The
Dalles and while here made many
warm friends who are grieved to hear
of his untimely death. .Besides his
wife he leaves three small children to
mourn his loss.

IN A LODGE OF SORROW.
The Elks Fay Tribute to the Memory of
Oeparted Brothers.
It Is an established custom with the
Order of Elks to observe the first Sun
day in .December as memorial day,
when fiuiug tribute shall be rendered
to the memory of those members who
have beep called to the beyond, when
appropriate eulogies shall he pro
nounced and the virtues of those that
are gone shall be freshened in the
memories of the brotherhood.. In ac
cordance with this custom, Cascade
Lodge, of this city conducted the
anuual memorial services in Knights
of Pythias hall Sunday afternoon.
The hall was beautifully decorated
under the directions of Lieut. Spivej
and Mrs. C. J. Stubling, streamers of
purple and white being tastefully
draped about the walls, while potted
plants were distributed profusely upon
the stage and in front of the officers
stations.
When the lodgi members marched
Into the hall, Exalted Ruler Blakeley
organized the lodge, and Rev. Poling,
pastor of the Congregational church
invoked Divine blessings upon the
services, then Miss Mrtle Michell
sang a beautiful solo, appropriate to
the occasion, after which Hon. W. T.
Dovell, of Walla Walla, delivered the
memorial address. Mr. Dovell's re
marks were very appropriate to the
occasion, and indeed it was one of the
most eloquent addresses that has been
delivered in the city. He dwelt at
some length upon the mottos of the
order, charity, justice and brotherly
love, and certainly his references to
the commendable principles were
most eloquent.
After the memorial address the
quartette consisting of Prof. Lundell,
Rev. Poling, Prof. Landers and . Dr.
Doane rendered a selection, and Judge
Bradshaw delivered the eulogy to the
memery of the departed. Since the
organization of the lodge three mem
bers have obeyed the summons of the
Great Exalted Ruler above. They are
J. H. Clacking, Owen Williams and
O. S. Waud, and to all these Judge
Bradshaw paid a pleasing tribute, re
membering the admonition that "the
faultB of our brothers we write upon
the sand, thetr virtues upon the tablets
of loye and memory." Another selec
tion was rendered by the quartette,
after which the ritualistic closing ex
ercises were observed.
In the evening the lodge attended
services at the Congregational church,
where Rev. D. V. Poling delivered an
able : ddress, his subject being "The
Sha li-s of Castle Garden," in which
he abiy discussed both the dangers and
the benefits of the foreign populace
that comes through the portals of that
gateway to the nation. ,
TO RECALIM A DESERT.
A Company That Proposes to Irrigate the
Desert South of Prineville.
One of the biggest schemes for re
claiming a now unoccupied country is
proposed by a San Francisco company
represented byC. C. Hutchinson, who
was in the city a few days since, re
turning to San Froncisco from Crook
couuty, where he has been locating
ditches and securing water rights on
Deschutes river. The proposition is
to bring water onto the low desert
south of Prineville, which is today one
of the largest tracts of arid land la
the United States. The Crook County
Journal, speaking of the territory to
bo reclaimed, says:
"When one comes to thoroughly in
vestigate the possibilities are amazing,
Roughly estimated, 'there are sixteen
townships that can be irrigated by a
canal taken from the Deschutes at or
near Lava island above Farewell Bend
That Is to say, 576 square miles or 368,-
04U acres, an are more than one
fourth the size of the state of Rhode
Island. Presuming that only - two-
fiftbs of this Is tillable, (it Is probably
far more than .that) there are 147,456
acres now lying Idle and unproductive,
that can be brought Into cultivation.
At 160 acres each this would make 920
farms .supporting a population of at
least 5,000.
Mr. Hutchinson is very enthusiastic
over the proposition and savs that
when water is once brought onto the
desert the rmit of Its productive cap
acity is almost unbounded. It will
produce cereals or alfalfa, the soli
being a volcanic ash mixed with black
loam, which is both durable and pro
ductive. The opening up of this new country
will mean something to The Dalles,
provided mean a are instituted to bring
the products of that section bere to
market. . It will be another Incentive
to the building of the proposed rail
road into the interior.

Women are women after alL Mistress
and maid are alike in physical make-up.
Both are women. Both are subject to the
ills and ailments
peculiar to their
sex. But the serv
ant seldom gets
any considera
tion. She is ex
pected to do her
work even if her
head does throb
and a dreary,
dragging, bearing-down
feeling
makes her wish
that each step
might be her last.
Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescrip
tion is made for
'maid as well as
mistress. It
makes weak
women strong
and sick women
well, no matter what their station in life.
It gives the poor working woman an
equal chance with her richer sister and
at exactly the same price.
The servant who uses " Favorite Pre
scription " at a moderate price per bottle
is much more likely to get well than her
mistress who calls m an expensive, local
physician. If she will write plainly to
Dr. R. V. Pierce, at Buffalo, N. Y., her
case will have the attention of a physician
who has cured more women than any one
hundred other doctors and who has a rec
ord of over thirty years' successful prac
tice. Her letter will be considered strict
ly confidential, will be promptly answered
in a plain envelope, so that prying eyes
of others may not get even a hint, and
she will have the benefit of the very best
medical skill without a cent of charge
for it. Thousands of women have
written and been cured. And by this
method they have avoided the "ex
aminations" and "local treatment"
so invariably insisted upon by local
practitioners and so abhorrent to every
modest woman.

The minutes of the last meeting were
read by the secretary and approved,
and the report of the superintendent
and treasurer were accepted and or
dered placed on file. Bills against the
commission were then read and or
dered paid.
The superintendent was ordered to
have about six hundred feet of 2 inch
pipe put in on the bluff leading to
Jack Staniels residence.
The matter of drilling for artesian
water at a point -south of the city and
above the large reservoir was brought
before the commission and discussed.
The idea, which appears to be very
good one, was suggested by the recent
discovery of and artlslan well at a
point above town where Seufert Bros.
are operating the diamond drill. Up
on thoroughly investigating the matter
the board favored the project, but did
not care to undertake it without the
approval of the taxpayers. ,'
Superintendent Crossen was there
fore Instructed to call on the majority
of the taxpayers with a voting list and
learn their desires in the matter.
As this ended the business for the
evening the meeting adjourned.

BAD COUNTRY FOR THIEVES.
How av Culprit Wa Mercilessly
Lashed Down the Trail In
the OhUIntt Pass. . -
Mr. H. D. Annable, of Montreal, ac
cording to the New York Sun, received
a letter containing the following de
scription of the way in which justice
Is meted out in the Chilkat pass re
gion: "This Is a bad country tor a thief.
There were two chaps just tried .here
for stealing an outfit from a man on
top of the summit. They were caught
in the act and brought back to Sheep's
Bead, and tried and sentenced to be
hanged. The younger of the two, by
the name of Wellington, put a gun to
his head and finished himself. The
other fellow, named Hanson, was tied
to a tree, all his clothing taken off,
and then lashed with two big ropes
fastened to a stick. The man who in
flicted the punishment was supposed to
be the ablest man in the camp. 1 was
close to the affair; so close, in fact,
that I had to hold my face back to
keep clear of the ropes while he was
swinging them. It was a hard-looking
sight. After they had done this,
they painted him with the words 'Thief.
Pass him along,' and then started him
down the trail.
"He had been examined by a doctor
before the punishment, and they
whipped him until the doctor signalled
for them, to stop. In almost every
place the ropes struck him ithey drew
blood. When a man is- caught stealing
up here they call a miners' meeting,
and whatever they agree to do they
carry it out."
