Tho explosion of dj nnniite on Utird the steamship at Santander, Spain, laM -week, was the mowt terrible thin?: oft he kind that ever occurred. A tliv luvnk ing out on the ship while she was lying at the wharf caused a largo crowd to leather. Twenty cast's of dynamite known to be on board wore at once taken ashore, but there wore 4S0 eases more that did not show on the ship's manifest, and It was supposed it way ll out of the tdiip. The tliv soon got U'vond control and in a short time the boilers exploded. The shock exploded the dynamite and the vessel was blown to pieces. 1 urning timber were thrown high In the air, and do nvnding on the houses, soon had the city on Are in hundreds of place. Hun dreds of people were killed by t no ox plosion and other hundreds by the de scending ruins of the ship and cargo. Several hundred wore thrown into the bay and drowned. In all over l.tHK) persons were killed and as man more -wounded, many of whom w ill die. COSCESSJXG TAXES. The county eourt is ia session, and re humbly suggest that it take a now departure, and when it whacks a man's tax ur to double what it was fixed upon by the assessor, that it notify tho party and give hiru a chance. Tho taxes of Wasco county are now little short of robbery, and if thero is not a change soon they will amount to con location. So when a fellow gives in his property for all it is worth, and has it raised to double what it w ill sell for and then taxed 25 mills a the dollar, and all this without being .ware of the fact that hia assessment has been changed, it is pretty tough. We know one place here that last year was as sessed at 1400, and was sold soou after for $550. THAXKSOniXG. Thanksgiving days are plentiful this year. The governor has appointed Thursday, the 23d, as a day for ret tim ing thanks for such blessing as we have received, and the governor espe cially recommends that the people send up a prayer for the democratic party. The president, as is customary, has set apart the last Thursday in the month, the 30th. So with two days, you pays your money and takes your choice. A happy compromise will be to celebrate both, if the turkey holds out. Here in Hood River we have so much to be thankful for that the two days will not prove sufficient. It will take that long to be properly thankful for being al lowed to lire in Hood River. Sidney Dell has it again that is to say, he is again troubled with a wild desire to write, and this time on the "financial question." It is a subject that is wonderfully attractive, and that's the reason we like to get a whack at it ourselves. We all like to write about the things we do not possess. Hence Sidney Dell and Moffet and the balance of us penny-a-liners can roll from $40,000,000 to $.500,000,000 under our tongues and never gag. And the whole "bilin" of us couldn't dig up half that sum. Theodore Liebe, brother of Judge Xiebe of The Dalles, was shot by Clin ton Hess at Portland, Tuesday, the ball entering the neck at the base of the skull and coming out below the right ye. As soon as the deed was done Hess turned the pistol on himself blowing the top of his head off. Hess was married to Liebe's niece, was em. ployed by Liebe, and being caught pil fering from him, was arrested and placed under bonds for trial at the pres ent term of court. Crisp says the tariff laws will be changed immediately on the meeting of Congress in December, and that the changes will be radical! He intimates that the tax on tobacco and whisky will be doubled up and that possibly an income tax will be levied. The elections Tuesday will probably teach the dem ocratic congressmen that they were elected on a tariff-repeal issue. This year will certainly go down to posterity as the hoodoyearof the cen tury. Morning after morning the tel egraph announces tome horrible disas ter, until they no longer attr&ct more than a panging remark. There is an epidemi'iof disaster, in which the sea vies with the land in furnishing new and horrible examples. The editor of the Portland Telegram states that one room in the art building at the world's fair was neatly papered with the front page of the great papers of the United States. It asserts that the Telegram was among them. That is really the newsiest bit of news in our gloaming contemporary and entirely unsuspected. The financial situation is improving wonderfully since the repeal of the Sherman bill. On that day we hud ten cents, and a recapitulation of our wealth three days after discovered a quarter. Gain, 50 per cent a day. The time in w hich the Chinese may register has been extended six months. OF CRANKS! CHICAGO WASHINGTON THE DALLES. Sold. C-u.ttin.gr .A-fErasr - 8t on.)

Ohio went republican by probably SO,. 000. New York downed Mnyntiid democratic candidate for sunrenie judge by 00,000 solid votes, and elected rainier secretary of state by 35,000, bo sides electing both houses of the legis lature. Massachusetts is republican by 30,000. Pennsylvania woods were full of anti-deinocrais carrying the state by 125,000 or perhaps more. Iowa piled up 35,000 majority against Boies. South Dakota is close, w ith the repub lican candidates probably elected. Nebraska gives republican plurality of 2000 electing its ticket. Kansas snows large republican gains. As a tail to the republican kite just to steady it, Virginia and Kentucky went demo cratic. KnrroK Gi .u In answer to your request for indi vidual opinion as to the best variety or varieties of apples to plant in this local ity, I will give my exjaTience with 100 trees planted in lb?J. The following varieties were planted: Yellow New town pippin, 14; Graveustein,14; Twen ty ouuee, 4; Fall pippin, 7; Swaar, 7; Winter rambo,"; Spitzenbourg, 7; Bald win, 7; Roxbury russet. 7; Winesap, 7; Red cheek pippin, 7; Early harvest, 5; White bellllower, 7 tolal, 100. My trees were well cultiva ed for the first two years and made a good growth without the loss of a single tree during that time. I then went to Portland, remaining off my place three years, aud in my absence my ouhard might not have been well cured for, but the trees were all served alike. Of the 100 apple trees planted in 1879 there remain to-day: Yeiiow Newtown pippin, 5: Oravenstein, 9; Twenty ounce, 2; Fall Pippin, 7; Swaar, 5; Winter rambo, 0; Spitzenbourg, l'; Baldwin, 4; Roxbury russet, 4; Wine sap, 6; Red cheek pippen, 3; Early har vest, 3; Bellflower, none making a to tal of 53 trees alive and bearing a crop this year of the 100 trees planted four teen years ago. My trees were sprayed four times du ring the past season forthecodlin moth, but my loss from wormy apples in all varieties otber than the Gravenstein and Winesup was heavy. The Grav enstein, for a summer aud fall apple, of course stands at the head of the list. The tree is hardy and a prolific bearer, and we can raise more of them than any other apple. But for a winter apple it is not such an easy matter to decide. On my land I consider the winesap the most profitable of the win ter varieties above enumerated. The tree is hardy, bears a full crop every year, and seems to be less affeoted by codlin moth than any apple on my place. The fruit is a nice red, the color now in demand, and if not allowed to bear too full, the apple is a good size. S. F. Blythe. In a private letter Dr. Jay Guy Lewis writes as follows from Chicago: "We will leave on about the Gth inst. with our victorious banners floating on the breeze with a record of eighteen medals of award in horticulture, nineteen in agriculture, four in mines, four in edu cation, six in fishery, two in women's work and two in herbarium, outrank iug all the Pacific states aud second only to New York and Illinois." It is the unexpected that always happens. Instead of silver losing its value since the repeal of the Sherman bill, it has steadily advanced and is now worth three cents more an ounce than it was two weeks ago. The democratic procession failed to get thereon time. It was detained by a land slide. Home rule for Ireland has received a hard blow. Congress adjourned sine die before election day. Had it waited until the returns came in it would have made it nine Jeo. AN IN - CUT DOWN 25 cts. CUT DOWN 50 cts. All Goods marked In plain figures. 65 :MZ-&."5rs. CSBKE3 serration lloiuularies. From a tracing kindly furnished us by Captain Lewis of The DaHes Land Olllee, we find that the east line of the Cascade Forest Reservation follows the rau go line between ranges S and 0 cast from the Columbia to the base line. This it follows oast to the oast lino of range 10, and thenco south on this line to township 4 south. Tho west line leaves the Columbia at Warrondale, runs east to about the line. Utween ranges 7 aud S, thence to the base line, near said liue; thence diagonally in a southeasterly direction through town ships 1 and 2 south of 8 east to within a mile of the oast line thereof, thence ( W)Ulll piwt Mt j1(KH, Townships ! and 10 east, south of the base line, are in the reservation. The man who buys shoestrings ami otber small articles from street fakirs doesn't always do go because he gets them, or thinks he gets them, cheaper. It is chiefly because men engaged in business are usually so abscntinimled that trifles of everyday use are never thought of unless they are pushed right under the business nose. As a rule the stuff bought of street venders costs two to five times as much as it would in a legitimate store. But it is on this single weakuesa of mankind that tiie street fakir lives and thrives. A mau will fool with a broken shoestring a dozeu morn ings before he will remember to get a new pair. Then suddenly during a busy day he runs against a shoestring peddler and buys a pair on the spot, paying double price for what his dealer would give him for nothing. The fakirs thrive best in the closest and most busy centers. Down in Wall aud Broad and New and Nassau streetd, among the bankers and brokers aud law yers, who are too busy to think of sus penders and shoestrings and lead pencils, etc., the street fakirs fare well, foraimd the roar of clashing millions the absent minded man clutches hastily on wh.it comes uppermost,, knowing that other wise he'll forget all about it' ' Electricity la Oyster Culture. Electricity is about tho last thing to be thought of in connection with oysters, yet a very close association between them has been established by M. Lacase Dutheier, the well known authority on oyster culture. He makes use of the electric litrht in examining tho staires of i development through which the spawn passes. A glass cylinder is mounted in a cylindrical skeleton cage which serves as a support, and into this glas3 tho water containing the spawn is placed. At the bottom is a silvered reflector, and the cover forms a parabolic reflector, in the center of which is fixed a small in candescent lamp. Tho reflector and sides of the glass cylinder act in snch a way that hut few rays of light emerjro from the apparatus directly, hence the liquid is suffused with a soft illumina tion which is admirably suited to tho examination of the contents. A modifi cation of this little apparatus is now be ing employed in various researches into the life processes of ferments and the culture of microbes. New York Tele gram. Tb Evolution of the Sword. Aa men in early times fought hand to hand, the oldest specimens of the sword are short; in fact, the sword is probably but an evolution of the club, which at first made of hard wood was gradually sharpened on one and then on both sides, so as to inflict a more deadly wound. Even today we find some savage races tmploying wooden weapons. Wood gave way to stone, which in turn was displaced by bronze, iron and finally steel. The sword Increased In length as men became more civilized and showed a dis position to fight farther away from each other, which required more dexterity in the use of the weapon. Some specimens we have of swords of the Middle Ages are almost if not quite as long as the war riors who welded them. During the Fifteenth century the science of fencing was invented, when the sword in the form of a rapier reached the highest point of development. Kate Field's Washington. J. F.
