AT THE DALLES.
On our return from Portland
we had the pleasure of a one-day
stopover at The Dalles, and im
proved the time making new ac
quaintances, viewing the thrifty
little city, and inquiring into its
business prospects. Like Hepp
ner, owing to this being the season
of the year when farmers are com
pelled to remain at home, attend'
ing to crop sowing, sheep shearing
lambing, etc., business was at
standstill. Frank Lee influenced
a visit to the immense Wasco
Warehouse, and under guidance o;
Mr. Mclnnis, their efficient super
intendent, we were enabled to gain
an insight into the immense out
put of wool and wheat from that
point. Not less than 2,000,000
pounds of the old clip remain
while the new is arriving daily,
Mr, MclnDis, lika our warehouse
men, felt reluctant about predict
ing futures for wool.
At the Land Office we found
both Register Lucus and Receiver
Patterson exceedingly busy, and
upon inquiry they informed us
that it was astonishing how land
filings continued to pour in, many
being made in Morrow county.
The burned district is entirely
rebuilt, and their main business
Btreet is surely a very striking
advertisement for the business
thrift of their city.
The state of Oregon will give
the National Editors a rousing re
ception. Every section is in com
petion for special recognition.
T7t ri r .
iiix-uovEBNon lord was ap
pointed on Tuesday to succeed
Arthur . Hardy as minister to
Persia. His rank is third in the
diplomatic list, and his salary wil
be $5,000 per year.
F. O. Heed, of Astoria, a mem
ber ot tne old nsh commission
was appointed by Gov. Oeer to
succeed II. D. McGuire, drowned.
as fish commissioner, at a salary
of $2500 and expenses.
President McKinley is leaving
nothing undone that he thinks will
maintain or add to the existing
good feeling between the north and
soutn. ins latest act in tnat line
was to accept an invitatiou to at
tend an encampment and reunion
of ex-confederates, under the con
trol of the Daughters of the Con
federacy, to be held at Falls
Church, Va., J une 7th and 8th, and
to deliver an address.
Ever since the bill authorizing
twelve new warships became a law,
there has been a good-natured but
spirited rivalry among the friends
of various states and cities, to give
their names to the new ships. The
law provides that battleships and
armored cruisers shall be named
after states, and cruisers after
cities. After consulting with Sec
retary Long, President McKinley
announced the following as the
names chosen: for battleships,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Uoorgia; for armored cruisers,
West Virginia, Nebraska and Cali
foruia; for cruisers, Denver; Dee
Moines, Chattanooga, Galveston,
Tacoma, aud Cleveland.
Here is an official communica
tion received by the department of
state from the United States min
ister to Venezula, whioh should be
carefully read by those who grum
ble about the expense of keeping
United States warships in foreign
waters. It relates to the recent
visit of the U. 8. S. Wilmington
to the ports on the northern coast
of Venezuela. "The splendid con
dition and appearance of the men
and the boat," writes the minister,
"novor failed to call forth praise
from those who saw them. As a
result of the trip, I tbiuk it will be
found that American prestige has
been substantially augmented, and
the idea of American power and
resources, vitalized by the war,
enormously deepened and widened.
Practical results are coming, too,
in the way of increased commerce
with the United States, and if our
merchants and manufactures will
take advantage of the favorable
condition that have been created
for them, they ought to profit very
largely."

James Hackett Leaves a Midnight Robber In
the Larch Peter Furlong Arrested.
There was quite an excitement out at Gallo
way last week, and the E. O.'s account of the
cause printed ou Thursday, follows:
Night before last, at thcJoe Vey ranch on
Butter oreek, James Hackett had an experience
with a midnight robber, coming out best and
saving his money In spite of the robber's itren
uous insistence that Jimmy deliver it up to him
He was sleeping in a room next to the one
oconpled by Joe Vey, and had gotten well to
sleep, when he heard some one enter the room In
a stealthy manner. Jimmy wakeued at once
upon the fellow coming Into the room and
asked:
"Is that you Joe?"
"Shut up you ! I want your money,
all you have, too," said the robber, in peremp
tory tones, apparently fingering his pistol.
"Say, Joe," called Jimmy, hero's a man who
wants our money, he wants It all, too."
Again eame the savage luvatlon to.
"Shut up, you . Dont you uttor another
word, or I'll blow out your blooming brains."
Jimmy was sllont. It was a most audible
silence In which he Indulged, but he was not
Id lo, for he slipped down between the bed and
wall, and went nolstess out into the night.
Hitched near by were two horses, and, thinking
perhaps there were two robbers and one of them
was watching him, he desisted not going to the
bunk house," and waited for some time until
the coast was clear, before he went In the house
again.
Today, there came from Echo a subepoena
tor Mr. Hackett to come there to appear In a
criminal action as a witness, and It Is under
stood that the case Is against the robber who at
tempted to get all of Jimmy Hackett's money,
at the Vey ranch the other night.
Mr, Hackett has gone out to his sheep ranges
today, and cannot be served with the subpoe na
until he comet lu In a day or two.
reter Furlong was arrested and brought be
fore a justice at Echo, on a charge of attempted
robbery at the ranch of Joe Vey, on Butter
creek, one night last week. The district attor
ney gut him dismissed, as the crime alleged was
committed outside of Umatilla county,
Upon information being filed here, Constable
George Gray started Sunday for Pendleton to
bring Mr. Furlong over to Heppuer ou the
aino charge. Mr. Grey securod his man and
had him turned over to the sheriff Monday
night.
Mr. Furlong claims he can prove an alibi and
Is now out looking up his witnesses for the trial,
which comes off tomorrow.
BHKKP SALES,
Carson Triumphantly Leads Morrow
1.
County's "Hell Kwe."
J. I. Carson, manager of the Wyoming Live
Stock company, carries oil the "palm," scoring
victory over the numerous' sheep buyers In
this section In having started the sheep market
with a buy of 10.000 head ot yearlings, mixed
the wethers at $1.75 and ewes at $2, with a 10
percent cnt. Among those who sold were O.
Fnrnsworth, Ed Bishop and J. M, Hager.
The sheepmen accept these figures with a de
cided "kick," and the "natural-born fighters"
111 hold out until thty (eel satisfied that they
are not being "done."
Reports from the East and tbe Loudon mar
ket seems to Justify a bettor price, but the rul
ing powers have "tightened the screws" on us
and we will probably have to look pleasand and
raise more sheep. In consideration ot Mor
row county's exceeding other sections In her
prolific propensities, she will probably hold her
own In tho long rim, "' '

Minor &
W. O. MINOR'S SHORTHORNS
Bringing Him and Bis Stock Farm Into
Prominence.
The following article appeared in tbe
Karal Spirit April 14th:
W. O. Minor, of Heppner, proprietor
of Mountain Valley Stock Farm, bag for
several years been quietly building np a
smalt bat very seleot berd of Shorthorns,
baying at different times from N O
Marin and the Ladda tbe best animals
be ooald iuduoe them to part with, aod
also making two Importations of ohoioe
individuals from tbe leadiug herds of
tbe East. He has reoently acquired con
siderable more land adjoining the origi
nal farm, and purchased the major part
of Mr. Maris Booster Willow bead, al
tbe same time scouring bis eervioes as
herdsman and farm manager,
We are both sorry and glad to mnke
this annoanoement sorry to lose Mr,
Maris from tbe breeding ranks, but glad
that his berd is, for the most part, to re
main intact with its new proprietor, and
that Mr. Maris will in bis new position
be intimately oonneoted with tbe Short-
bora interests as he baa been in tbe past.
II is not throagb any loss of interest
in tbe business, nor that tbe breeding of
good Shorthorns is unprofitable that Mr.
Maria bas dispersed bis entire herd; bat
on account of heavy losses in other
business be has bad to give np bis prop
erty to meet bis obligations.
With the means, experience and buai
nesa ability ot Mr. Minor, coupled with
tbe experience and personal supervision
ot Mr. Maris, we oao justly expect tbe
best results from the Mountain Valley
berd. Mr. Minor informs us tbat it la
bis intention to inorease tbe berd to 100
bead ot breeding animals as soon as
possible, and to bave them all as good
aa tbe best. With the fine lot of matrons
now in the berd and Conqueror, Gover
nor Oloagb aod Collision in servioe,
they should make rapid strides in tbat
direction.
Besides the 8bortborns, the farm
maintains a ohoioe herd of Poland China
bogs, Mr. Minor having imported at
different times some of the riohest blood
to be had in tbe Eat
