DYNAMITING TROUT. Secretary of the Interior, Stops all Hunting and Fishing on the Reservation. -Persons who fished on the res- rvation Sunday did so in opposi tion to the order issued by the sec retary of the interior and transmit ted lap, week to Major George W. Iarper, agent at the Umatilla res ervation. Major Harper has here tofore been permitting fishermen to patrol the Umatilla on the reserve and no objection has been made, says the E. 0. But of late parties hava been using giant powder ana dynamite, and several miles up the stream hundreds of dead fish may be seen floating on the surface of the water, killed by the use of ex plosives. The trout cannot be ex terminated for many vears by the use of rod and ny, since the fry are left to grow to larger fish. But dy namite kills all the fish within the radius of its force, and .the persis tence of the persons using it has caused the issuance of the order. A severe penalty is provided by the 3tate law, and now that the secre tary has taken hold, a double dose of punishment awaits the one de tected. All the policeman have been given strict orders to arrest anyone found violating the order of the agent, and - the dynamiting will be stopped.' UP THE CLEARWATER. The Steamer Lewiston Proves This Stream Can Be Navigated. Robert Burns, the genial travel ling freight agent of.the Q. R. & N company just returned from an ex pedition up the Clearwater. I he party ot which Mr. Burnes was member numbered the chief of ficials of the line, and one news paper man from Lewiston. Taking the steamer .Lewiston at Rapana, at present the lowest point of navigation on the Snake the party were boated up through the great winding canyon of that river to Lewiston, They sojourned here for preparations to be perfect ed for the cruise up the Llearwater the river to be explored. Thus far steamboat? bad not gone farther above Lewiston than the Indian acencv. a distance of twelve miles. Of his experience Mr. Burns de clareB very enthusiastically. "It was the most pleasureable outing I ever had. Every mile afforded obiects of interest. Every turn in the river and every rapids and ed dv gave us some new sensation There is a buoyancy of spirit which stirs your imagination and fares your ambition, when you know that you are doing that which no other man has accomplished before you. "We steamed past the Lapwai fort and agency, memorable on ac count of Snaulding and his heroic missionary career with the Indians. We saw the road and ferrying place where General Howard crossed with his regulars and volunteers in his persuit of Chief Joseph dur ine the Nez Perce war of 1877 Our smokestacks coughed up coils of smoke from one end of the val ley to the other, just such black columns as eighteen years ago signaled the Indian clans to be cin their work, up the river seventy-five miles we travled on the 'first day. 'Our approach was greeted every where with rejoicing, both civilived Indians and by white eettlers. ' Be ing warned of our approach by the smoke from our engines, the nati ves came down to the river to see u. Our advent into ho country means the development of one of the richest valleys in the whole Northwest. The Clearwater, which we found could be navigated far back into Idaho, will give cheap transportation for four months in the year, at least, January, Febru ary, March and April, to the farm ers in that region- By next spring the 0. R. & N. will " have a boat making regular trips up the Clear water. "As aoon as the reservation lands are open for sale many settlers will find good homes in the Clearwater valley. It will be sometime how ever, before the country will be settled up sufficiently to mantain a railroad with daily train service, as ' the valley is narrow. It is probably one hundred miles long. The tops of the mountains are flat and support luxuriant grasses so that settlers - will have grazing lands right at hand. The Nez Perce country is one of the most promising districts that has come under my observation in constant ly going up and down the high ways and byways of the country." Delays are dangerous. A dollar spent for Hood's Sarsaparilla now may prevent illness which will be expensive and hard to bear. Now is the time to take Hood's Sarsapa rilla. ,. v " Hood Pills cure all liver ills, re- ieve constipation and assist digest ion. An Editor Expresses Himself. We are mad! Darn the people, anyway!

IN STATE CONVENTION The W. C. T. U. Annual M eeting at Roseburg. The State Convention of the'. W, C. T. U. convened at Roseburg last week. A large number of ladies from different parts of the state were present, ; .-- The summary ot report oi cor responding secretary, Mrs. Susie E Foster of Portland, was read as iol lows: . "We have an enrollment of 96 unions, 1503 active and 355 honor ary members. Seventy-nine unions have reported, and 17 unions have failed to send annual reports. have been able to report , 22 . new unions out of 28 which weie actu ally organized during the year. We have 322 active and 29 honor ary members more than we had last year. Number of Young Wo men's Unions, 7;' members 172 ac tive and .62 honorary. iotai memDersnipin me state, including 4.'Y's," 1672 active and 615 honorary. -. "It must" be remembered that while my report gives .the actual number of members enrolled, yet the treasurer's report alone, must be depended upon for the paid up membership, the basis of our repre sentation in the National Conven tion. New unions seldom pay state dues in advance, but they are cer tainly right in reporting the actual number of names , enrolled. Alto gether the work reported to me through my correspondence with the union, is far in advance of any year since the financial panic began. From every quarter has come the most encourag;ng and cheering woids which shows how courageous ly the white ribbon women have adjusted their work to the changed conditions caused by the most re markable period of financial de pression the country has ever known. "In the words of our great Na tional leader, we may well take "heart of hope" as we try to follow the Gospel's gleam along the hills of Hope in an endeaver to help prepare the way for the coming of the Lord in custom and law." For whooping cough Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is excellent. By using it freely the disease is deprived of all dangerous conse quences. There in no danger in giving the remedy to babies, as it contains nothing injurious. 50 cent bottles for sale by Osburn.

Matter Oemanding Attention in all This Section. Squirrles are becoming a eerious menace to crops in a halt dozen counties, and agriculturists are al armed lest they increase so as to make impossible all efforts to raise grain. In Umatilla county they are, perhaps, not so numerous as in other counties, and yet they will be soon, unless checked by noncert ed action. Several county -courts are considering the appropriation of money to purchase squirrel pois on. The courts in Walla Walla ! and Columbia counties, Washing have already distributed a large amount of poison. The Heppner Gazzette says, in. this connection: "As everv . person knows, the squirrles are increasing with am azing rapidity where people have not the means to buy poison and it will result in many losing their crops entirely. Wm. Penland is therefore distributing petitions tor circulation among the people for signatures, and we learn that such petitions bearing sufficient names will be considered by the county court. Gilliam county has appro priated money for the purchase of poison for public use, and there is no reason as far as the Gazette can see why our county cannot take similar action, if it is the will of the taxpayers.) If something is not done to assist our farmers and others engaged in raising crops there will be little left by harvest time." Another reference to the matter is made by the Walla Walla Union Journal, lthough the man from Palouso probably indulged in some exaggeration, there is much truth in his statement: - ' A man who came down from the Palouse country says: "I saw squirrles there starving." Was there nothing for them to eat? "No," he said, "there was nothing left and they were so thick that the ground fairly moved and was alive with them." Whereabouts was that? "On the other side of Snake river, below the mouth of Rock creek. There I found a great many farm houses deserted, and i good houses too. ffiverything was ate up in the way of grain, by the pesky squirrles. This side of Pa- ma, on a mile post I saw "city limits ' painted .oa a board. Furth er on I came to a vacant house and the only one in that jaded and nameless city. Here the squirrles were thick and it would take tons of Btrychnine to thin them out. To exterminate them seems to me an impossibility, unless they could be inoculated with the smallpox." That's the sad 6tory, told by ranch hunter. MINES TO BE WORKED. The Citizens of the "Coeur d'Alene Mining Camps Say So. Matters in the Cceur d'Alene mines are rapidly approaching crisis and ere long we may expect to see the bloody days of two years ago repeated. The citizens of War dner, and incidentally the A. P. A have determined that the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine, which em ploys 400 men, shall be worked, and be worked, too, independent of the miners union. This simply means a repetition of murders wholesale shootings, use of dyna mite and other outrages with which the miners' union appears insepar able. The Spokane Review says: The local representative of the company will today receive the petition published last week. It has been eigned by 170' persona who are directly interested in Wardner'a welfare, and it indicates that the signers will not be half hearted in their support. The pe tition will be forwarded to ban Francisco, and if it meets the ap proval of the company officials there, it is expected that orders will be forthcoming to take on men preparatory to starting up. The petition meets the requirements of the company in form, and it is ex pected that the number of signa tures will pass muster. Nearly every merchant in Wardner and Kellogg has indorsed it. To opearte a mine like this with out consulting the miners' union is something heretofore unheard of and all good ,citizen8 imbued with the American spirit will bid them God-speed. Mr. Hales, superinten dtent of another big mine, in dicus sing the subject said: "If any attempt is made to run our business for us it will be inter- esting, I can assure you. We don't ask much. We want our own rights, not anybody else's, and this is a good time to get them. It is time to stop the foolishness of the past and get down to business." The organized merchants and citizens of Wardner echo Mr Hales' . Bentiments, and will support him. One of them Baid: . " "The day for running men out of the country has gone here. We are just waiting for them to begin. It doesn't make any difference whether he is a merchant, a miner, a union man, a 'scab oi what his religion or politics is. He will find friends here this time, and they will stand by him to the end." b peaking of the prospect of re suming, a representative of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan company says: - "The whole trouble has been eretofore that the people of the town were half-hearted in their sup port of the company, if, indeed, they support it at all. It was this attitude that made it so difficult for us to get along. With Kellogg and Wardner fully alive to the situation and determined to see the thing through, the problem is solv ed. Heretofore a handful of men who were paid by assessments levi ed on those who were working up above managed to keep the whole settlement intimidated. That day has gone. . 1 DALLES CANS HORSES. Six Erstwhile Buckera Now Ready for the Frenchmen. A company was formed recently in Portland to can horse flesh for the French market. But The Dal. les has already canned some horse meat, as the Chronicle of that city says: , . Nearly all the Newsnaners of the United States have had something to say about the canning of Oregon horses, the discussion arising over the formation of a stock company at Portland for that purpose. While all this talk has been going on, The Dalles has had not xnuch to sa', but has been doing more to demonstrate the feasibility of the scheme than any place. Last Jan uary, Mr. Ilemck, owner of the cannery here, had slaughtered a magnificent 4-year-old c'ayuse, and put him up in neatly labeled cans. Since then nt different times he has canned five others, and is now feed ing a fine 3-year-old filly on grain for the purposo of noting the dif ference in the fleBh, if any. The flesh resembles beef in ap pearance, and cannot be told from it by taste. The grain of the flesh is fine, and upon opening the cans it certainly looks good enough to eat. Dozens bf people have sam pled the canned horse, and are un animously in pronouncing it good, though there was not one of them but confessed a prejudice against the eating of horse flesh. While others have been talking, Mr. Ilerrick has gone at it system atically to see whether or not the flesh of the horse will be adopted as an article of food. If it is, it is safe to say that the canning will be done in Eastern Oregon and not in Portland, since the freight on horses to Portland would be saved, that item alone being sufficient to i make the profit on the business. Persons who sympathise with the afflicted will rejoice with D. E. C&rr of 1235 Harrison street, Kan sas City, lie is an old . sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism, but not heretofore been troubled in this climate. Last winter be went up into Wisconsin, and in conse quence has had another attack. "It came upon me again very acute and severe," he said. "My joints swelled and became inflamed; sore -to touch or almost to look at. Up on the urgent request of my moth er-in-law I tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm to reduce the swelling and ease the pain, and to my ag reeable , surprise, it did both. I have used three fifty-cent bottles and believe it to be the finest thing for rheumatism, pains and spel lings extant. For sale by Os burn.
