Yesterday morning Mr. Sam Wherry reached Astoria, after several weeks' absence at Slmcoe Springs, Wash., where he was treated . for rheumatism. Mr, Wherry Is much Improved by his visit, and is ready for hard work again. He says that an era of much needed prosperity and activity has begun in eiastern Oregon. In the city of The Dalles, where he spent a day, the Im provement In conditions of business is very marked. The day Mr. Wherry was there 1600 work horses were fed in the town.. Lang trains of teams brought thoui lands of pounds of wool and wheat In f rom the farmers, for which tbey recel ved good -prices In cash. Lines of men -stood at - the bank doors awaiting their turn to cash checks. Wool is bring ing nine cents per pound In cash. The wheat now being delivered Is from last year's crop which was held for. better prices and which la now commanding profitable figures. Seven hundred thous and bushels of wheat are yearly shipped from the Klickitat Valley with the out put increasing yearly. A company has been organized for the purpose of building a narrow guage road from Goldendale to Lyle, a distance of 30 miles. At Lyle, which is on the Colum bia river a miles below -the Dalles, connection will be made with the boat line thus securing better rates and a means of reaching Astoria as well as Portland. This business has heretofore all gone to The Dalles from where It was shipped by rail to Portland. Here after all shipments wlU -.be made via Lyle. The preliminary surveys of the road have been made and the engineers are now aettlrur the grade stakes. The business men of Goldendale contributed toe money for making the surveys and sbscrlbed for $10,000 of the capital stock ttke first day the books were opened. Actual construction of the line will com ttnence during the present month, and will the Dunned rapidly to completion. Mr. Wherry thinks -that the Goldendale naople are impressed with the "Seattle lifea" and that when they want an enter uriae of business value and necessity ifley go about It with & will, united for ithe common good, and get wnat tney want.

Dr. Prtco'i Cream i3jjUag fowder World' Pair HI bt .wari- JOHN HILTON'S DOUBLE LUTE. He was one of the most faithful, best balanced men In business, was joiin Hil ton. He was in the oitlce- by 9 every morning. There he remained till his work was done, whether that meant six, eight or twelve hours. His lodgings be ing near ty he Ia?t little time out ot i i i.r. WjiATi he urnn nnt In I nn nfTlr-e evenings, h-.a light showed tnat he was in his room. Just three days In the year he took to Mmneif ; on regular ho.id.iys ti worked. These days were March 8, June Jul and Oct. 12. it was learned cas ually no one pried Into his affairs- that he spent most ot the Marco day at the cathedral, and ithe f.ther two days In the country; he had been seen strol ling In tne woods and ne.is not lar tram tne city and again had been met at rurai station ntty nines away. ills titory was his own In the ofl.ee his account books absorbed all his at tention; outside, he had no associates, barring a mocking bird that was seen to nang toy his window, but was never heard to utter a note. - Ten years he naa been with itms firm of Throckmorton & Hopkins, brokers, rising through different grades until now ne iiad become neao c.erk. Mr. Tnrockmorton enga,ed him on the recommendation of a Calcago broker; his antecedents had been sails factory, but wnat tney were had b.en forgotten, so sufficient had the man's con duct proved, jfainaps lie was not muro than 40; no doubt it was his close ap plication and lack of exercise that mauo him look 60. NatUraliy he must hav been of robust constitution, for withal he was not dyspeptic. Conventionalities he did, not sugnt ana ms -guuu mumiug to the otllce boy was as pleasant as that of Mr. Throckmorton. The only ob jection to him that was heard was thai he set too high a standard of labor for his fellow laborers.' His employers pu no commercial value on 'his doing that; his salary was smalt, left wholly to the Judgment of the firm, without a word from him. . ' ' 4 There was a peculiarity about his personal correspondence. Be It said at' once that the manntr In which this came to light was no reflection, upon his char acter. There had seemed to be an epi demic of peculation, not only locally, but all over the country. A point which had particularly attracted the attention ot Throckmorton & Hopkins was that In most cases the culprits had been above suspicion and the concerns had been wholly Ignorant of wrong-doing until it was too late. Considering the large Inter ests for which It was responsible, the firm decided to adopt some method by which it might keep informed as to th habits and general conduct of its large force of employes. For this purpose, a comlidentljl agent was engaged. It may inxirientallv that it was with more or less shame that it felt lmpelha to this course, but the experience or others seemed to leave it no option. One of the first things discovered by Paul Daskum, the agent employed, was that John Hilton was writing almost daily letters and that many were being returned to -' him regularly unopened. These letters were placed In a private box at the poatoffice, the number ot which was given in. the directions for the return, in the corner of the envelope. Another feature of the correspondence was that most of the letters, were ad dressed to Miss Lilian Endlcott In all sect-ions of the country In the summer s?ason at sortie quiet country resort and In the winter season at the large cities or occasionally at some place in California or the south. The fidelity with which the postal employes had endeavor d to locate Miss Undlcott Was recorded on each envelope. When Street numbers w re given the endorsement Would be "No such street," or "No such number." gain there would be periods when Hil ton's balky letters for the local post offlce men had come to be interested would be addressed to some distant post master or some foreign or American offi cial In ft European city or village, f Ater due time a letter would tome -back ad Iressed In a rather feminine hand nnd Inclosed .in . a dainty . envelop?. This much Daskum learned from his brother, who was employed In the postofflce. t Mnt .a.v in reconcile the ldlosyn ii - j - , - rasy with the generally accepua cnur- vter of so, practical a man, ui drudge, indeed, as TURon was. It has been said that he wos well balanced. In all these ten years there has not been the slightest Indication that his thoughts were distracted Tom his rou'ine wrr. lull as It might be. The evenness of his . aram rem.arltab'.e. He war never elated, nevT cast down; he was simply Jonn Minan J and that Is all or,a oauld say. If the seiyl lng or receipt of th0 letters gave him pleasure or pain t never could be de tected in his -manner. Neither did -any one ever ses him write or read one of these letters, no envelopes or scraps could be found In his waste. Every one liked Hilton.. Ordinarily the dscovery of. his peculiarly by accident noun discounted. Hut in view of the circumstances In other con cerns it niust be conT-saeo ni inroin norton & Hopkins felt a trifle uneasy. And with It all, Hilton was growing pale mdl nervous. It rrAi'M be that lors years wl'hout vactlon or recreation were be i i tn toil hut it was 'i Uast an unhappy coincidence that, after being staved o(t so long, me evu r.'..m-".u beKln to show Just at the time when dis coveries of crime were an almost daily occurrence. One -morning ne was iai and one afternoon he had a fainting fit and had to be taken home in a carriage. The doctor was grive, but non-communl- jeatlve. . . ' , nafkum went west. Aiier a ie in quiries In Chlearo he turned up on? night In a Minnesota village. He had been told that it was the place where Hilton haa been born and had spent his enrly days. The- next day he received a telegram calling- him home. Hilton was dead. For several days previous nuu.n nu ,.o0,a in n-nnrt njiri-ts: indeed, for the flro time had' been almost dsmonstra- funf' which Mr. Throckmorton could not fall to connect with the de ptirture of Dasitum, much as he disliked o. But the pallor naa noi wen reuevtr. nd the power, of endurance had not been rretored. Be the reason, what it mlgnt. a hrniren aufTerlnir man. Hit, last lay was his 'brightest. He brought bunch of arbutus nai ne nm ui.uk. n t-i A, tha nrti- the tlrst of the ui ai 'i - . . . sesson-and arranged tt on his desk In front of a calendar picinre or me Aiua. But above all. he glanced several times t the clock, which in ltseir was wun nira sign of feverish excitement. At 3 -lok tu? went himself for his mall and a u.-..h i sniiAre. violet-colored rriuji.au .-l . - envelope which he placed under the ar butus and did not open till his work was done. At 5 o'clock, wnen xne omti clerks In his room left, he -was still at work. An hour later one or tnem re turned and found him wi-th nis race rest ing on the open letter on his desk, ap parently asleep. In reality dead. The letter was aaiea terenni., ewiwr land. It was written in a rather stiff feminine hand, and said: n..c Tark 1 could write a folio. but I know It is only e-ne thing you are looking for. I feared my prophecy might prove Incorrect and that I had roused your hopes for nothing. But it Is not so! I had my talk with papa late lart ntht, and. as I told you in my last I hoped tt would be. I can write you this morning that he consents and we sail for home June 1. To think-after all hese long years! I told him I could not Join the party for the Matterhorn today, that I could do no more until he re moved his objections to our marriage, dearest! I told him I'd stay right here forever or go home and stay, but no more traveling, no more letting him think be might succeed In driving my dear one out at my mind. Oh. I can't tell you all I said. As I wrote you. he seemed to waver when I talked with him a week ago. I knew mamma had spoken a word f.ir me. and eo I felt that If ! hromrht all my power to bear I should win Just as I prophesled-becauae he really Is such a dear old papa. O. It's too good to be true. I wish I could cable you. But here It Is 6 o'clock, I haven't been to bed yet nnd I must be up to start with the party by 9 o'clock. And then for home home; that means henceforth wherever you are. I'll write a long letter tomor row. Your own loving; LILLIAN. P. S. I'll leave this open so I can add a line perhaps before we start. The mall will not close until this afternoon. Beside this letter lay another In some what similar but less regular handwrlt. ing, and from the same envelope. It read: Dear Mr. Hilton: I can do no more than mall this letter I find in Lillian's portfolio. - Before It reaches you, - you may have read the news,, which Is too heavy for a moher'e pen to write. 1 can simply say that it was seemingly her unusual , exuberance of spirit that caused her to venture too near the edge of the crag, and she was gone before any of the party could warn her. We leave for home as soon as possible. Most sor rowfully; yours, HANNAH SLOAN-ENDICOTT. The medical examiner read the letters and soon after' told the eager reporters: "There is no ground whatever for the theory of suicide. It is a plain case ot heart disease. I am informed tTlat his accounts are perfectly straight." When Daskum arrived he was accom panied by George Hilton, a younger brother of the dead man's, who had al ways lived in the Minnesota village. He had been brought on to throw light upon the mystery, but when he saw the letters he was more my stilled than the others, "Mrs. Endlcott?" said he; "Mrs. Endl cott? I saw Mrs. Endlcott out riding In St. Paul not a week ago, and her husband Is with her. There is something wrong here, gentlemen." "But did you know any one by the name of Lillian Enilicott?" asked Mr. Throckmorton. "Yes, as I have told Mr. Daskum, Bhe was a Bchoolmate of my brother's. They were fond of each other. After leaving school he went to Chicago to earn money enough to marry her. He thought that thus he could overcome her father's ob jections; her mother was kindly dispos d from the beginning. Soon after that sue removed with her parents to St. Paul. She always seemed to me rather light, and when she got In the city she didn't appear to care for John any more. He trl.d to think she did, and was Just as at tentive, and kept blaming her father. He made quite a fortune In Chicago, but lost It all In a failure. And that very week Lillian disappeared from St. Paul. At the same time a fast young St. Paui broker named Tyron left town. The two were married In St. Louis and then went to New Mexico. It appeared soon that tl.ey left the country because Tyron was a heavy defaulter. We've heard nothing rrom tnem since, and we supposed that tne gin had passed out of John's mind, as she had out of ours. So these letters are bewildering." Hilton's effects were turned over to his brother. One trunk was filled with let ters, on one side those with her name on the envelope, that had been returned to him, and on the other those addressed to him and bearing her signature. They covered the entire period cvf the ten year since he had seen her in St. Paul. Heri, were full of encouragement to him In his work of repairing his fortune in order that he might make a fitting home for her; they always referred .to her father't opposition as something that must sure ly be overcome with time, and were ful of expressions of fidelity and devotion. It appeared that March 8 was his birth day. June 19 the date of their origin-1 betrothal, and Oct. 12, the date once set .or their marr.ajje. Occaslonai.y she wat. lespondent, end fearinr that her health was falling, her father took her to va rious summer or winter resorts, and final ly to Europe. He told her that she musi give up thoughts of Hilton; but she re mained true, and at length became stub born, with the result as given In her lasi letter. An expert declared that all the letters were written by the same hand, and thai tnat hand was unmistakably Hi. ton's. The man had practiced deception upon himself in order that in. his. Imaglnatio he might live the lire It seemed to hin he would naturally be living. AVhe- ,.ie uniaitulnao.eness of the end he longed ror rorced il.,eif upon him, l.e a. rang a climax that proved too sirong for hit overwrought system. MIRTH AND MERRIMENT.
