He could nod do lambs

in Eastern Oregon under 82 25 a head,while 83 each was asked for dry ewes.

..nil lambs in oairs cannot be

bouh for less than 85, which is too A

high a fiigue, he says, to justify ship

ping to the feeding yaras at centralCity' Neb., where the animals have to

be feed on corn lor tne winter mantel.He will therefore postpone all attemps go

at purchasing until spring, when hethinks sneep wui bo u'The old man Louis Lawler, who was

Bowling and pool are getting morepopular at the D. C. and A. club sincethe cold whether started, and If themembers coutiune to take the interestin future they have shown for the pastfew days the club will indeed bealivelyplace this winter.

After Sheriff Kelly had searchedKid Moore Saturday night ami foundnothing that would, ronnect him withthe burelary of Miss Hart 's residencehe was taken in by the nightwatcb-man- .

Moore had heen fired out of

town three times already only to re-

turn and be rearrested. His sisterwho is in a bouse of ill fame in thiscity, appeared yehteniay fearing thathe would be roughly treated andpromised to send him away. She was

willing to p:iy his fare to Portlandand supply him with clotbing andother thing.-- . As this seemed to be

tbe only means of getting rid of himthe officers allowed him to go on themoruing train today.

On Saturday afternoon some sneakthief entered Mrs. Hart's residence on

the hill across tbe street from F. H.Rowe's residence and stole a goldwatch and about $16 in money whichshe left in the bouse She came downtown during the afternoon and it islikelv that the thief saw her leave andtook advantage of her absence to gothrough the house At onre tbeofficers thought that Kid Moore, tbemorphine fiend, who has been soprominent around town for some timemight have been the risht man andSheriff Kelly succeeded in locatinghim in tbe East End. Moore was

searched but nothing could be foundon him that would throw any suspicionon that party, and be was left to thetSDder mercies of the city officials.

About 400 head of Indian poniesfrom the Yakima reservation werebrought across on the ferry today andwill be shipped to thecannery at Linn-to- n

tonight. They are nearly allsmall horses of little value for any-

thing but cann ing and many of themare cot even good enough for that astbey are old and in poor conditionand look as if they would make verypoor steak. It is said, neverthelesstbat much of this meat is served onthe tables of cheap res tu rants in Port-

land and tbe patrons think they areeating beef. Twenty years ago a bandof horses like the one the Indians areshipping to tbe cannery would havement considerable cash, but at presenttbe price received is worth scarcelythecostof transporting them to thecannery.

Mrs. Alex MacLeod, of this city re-

ceived word a few days ago that hernephew Philip Bassoni, who was work-

ing in Butte Montana was accidental-ly killed on Sunday September 24.No particulars were given. Theyoung man was 21 years of age and waswell and favorably known in the King-Ble- y

vicinity.

Saturday evening and Indian namedJoe Stahll who ranks as big" manamong the Indians in the Mosier vicin-ity and who is in tbe city with a scowload of cord wood, got into a fight withHenry Johnston at the O. K. saloon.It appears tbat the proprietor leftJohnston in charge of the saloon andthe Indian gave someune 50 cents topurchase fire water with. In place ofgetting him tbe liquor he came uptown and the Indian went into thesaloon to get his liquor. It was refused him and when bo insisted Johnston bit him with a bottla. The Indiangot a rock anl it is said thatJohnston proce ded to defend himselfwith an ax. The nightwatcbman ap-

peared in time to Drove nt furthertrouble. Botb parties were arrestedand bad their hearing this morning.Johnston was fined 85.00 and Stahle$2.00 and released.

A drunk was found iylng back of JoeBurger's house on Fourth street today , to

taken to the city jail where suffi-- 1

cient time will be allowed him inwhich to sober up. A young Indiangot an overdose of liquor today and inspite of the fact that he was in shapefor anything bu. a foot race he con-

sidered himself 6wift enough to runaway from the marshal. A single at-

J. N. Wisner, woo has been inspect-ing tbe salmon hatchery on the LittleWhite Salmon in behalf of tbe UnitedStates Fisheries department, statestbat many large salmon were takenthis year, but the average yield ofeggs has been comparatively light.Although 9,000,000eggs were securedto date, this number, however, isgreater at this time than that attainedlast year. The "greyest number ofeggs received from one female salmonis 8900; the average is about 5000. TheWind river hatchery, located eightmiles below, will probably yield

eggs. Next year eyeing sta-

tions will be put in at various pointsand other improvements will be madeto increase the scope of the depart-ment. Mr. Wisner now goes toViento, Oregon, in his official capacity.

Large Shipments of Mbeep.

Taylor Hill of Prinevhlo, arrivedin tbe city from Pendleton this morn-

ing where he delivered .'000 sheep toJames Wright for shipment to BritishColombia. He started from Crookcounty with 3000 sheep and purchased2000 enroute to Pendleton arriving atthat place with tbe 5000 sheep inprime condition.

"Sheep were sold down so closelylast spring, after the hard winter,"said Mr. Hill, "tbat grass has beenunusually fine this year, and promisesto continue just as ood.

''I want to say that although I heardabout trouble ahead from people whowould shoot sheep being driventhrough tbe".ountry, and was naturallyOil the lookout for such trouble, noneof it was met. I could not ask for bet'tea treatment from people anywhere,and am inclined to think that if sheepmen in passing through any pars of tbecountry south of Pendleton will striveto regard other men's rights they willavoid most of tbe trouble of which we

hear so often. No one offend to mo-

lest me at any )u".o or time, and infact showed a disposition to help me,rather than to binder."

Mr. Wright has already shippedfrom Pendleton about 25.000 sheepthis fall, aud he has 5000 more duethere In a few days. The BritishColumbia market for Eastern Oregonsheep appears to liuve grown to a position of importance, and the demaud isstrong and constant.

Mr. Hill stated that prices are on thetop notch now, and that even at twodollars for lambs and three dollars forewes, buyers are having difficulty insecuring any more than are called forin contracts made some time ago.

Colombia Defeats The Shamrock.

The first of the series of yacht racesfor America's cup the greatest contest of the world was sailed outside ofthe harbor of New York today thecontestants being the Irish yacht,Shamrock owned by Sir ThomasLipton, who Is behalf of tbe UnitedKingdom has challenged for the cup.and the American yacht Columbia,which has been selected by the NewYork Yacht Club committee as thedefender of the ba'tered old mug,which the Americans have held andprized ever since tbe Ccws regatta in1851.

Ever since tbat time British yachtshave endeavored t'o regain po?essionof tbe cup but have met with no suc-

cess, and today in tbe first race of tbe'Series which will be run between theShamrock and Columbia the Americancraft won another victory. As far ascould be learned from tbe meagre report the race was close throughoutand the successful defender of tbeAmerican cup had little to spare, astbe Shamrock was close on ber beelsat the end of the course. The secondrace of the five, which will be held,will take place on Thursday.

A Question Answered.

Gkants. Oct. 2, 1899.Editob

In last Saturday's Weekly Times- -

Mountaineer you ask if some one cantell why it is that Columbus is gettingthe Klickitat wheat?

I will answer the question this wayThey bave a shorter haul, tetter road,and get from 52 to 55 cents per bushel,while The Dalles' top price is 52 centsfor No. 1. What they can make on aload e very day, while it takes two daysto make a load to The Dalles, Is an Inducement for them to go to Columbus,If this is not sufficient, I will comeagain.. N. L,

8treet Riot in ChicagoChicago, Oct. 2. Fifteen men with

revolvers, knives and clubs, engagedIn a desperate hand-to-ban- d streetbattle last right at Black Hawk andElstoo avenue. Before tbe officers arrived in response to a riot call, ColacLisan, who, the police say, was an ex- -

convict, had been killed and severalothers badly wounded. Only two ofthe fifteen were arrested. The fightstarted over the assertion of one of themen tbat some one in the crowd badstolen something from him.

The cut is after an old painting of a manI .gambling witujjeatn witn his nte

This game withlife as the stake isthe every-da-y gameoi men ana women.Behind the playerstands tne goodangel Nature, striving to preserve thelife. Even whenthe game is almostin Death's hands.

the man who turns to Nature and lets herhelp him may yet save himself. Medicalscience knows this, and its highest authorities affirm that the utmost medical skillcan do is to help Nature.

A CHARITABLE

Two Large Farms Given

to the Benedictine

Fathers.They Will be Used for a Boys College

and a Home for the A ted Dona-

tion Made by Max Vofft and Mrs.

Chapmen.

Today Mr. Max Vogt and his sister,Mrs. Chapman deeded to tbe Benedic-tine Fathers at Ms. Angel, Marioncounty, their two large and valuablefarms, one being located at Crate'spoint,.down the river from The Dalles,the other situated on lower Fifteen-mil- e

creek about 12 miles east of thiscity.

The farm on Fifteen-mil- e ereekwhich consists of almost 1,000 acres isone of the most valuable in the countyaud on this place will be built a bornefor the aged. Fine buildings will beerected to accommodate tbe inmatesof tbe institution, while tbe 'farm willbe run by the Benedictiue Brothers.One of the priests of this order will re-

side there and will be given chargeof all the missions aud couutry parisheswhich are at present under the care Ojthe parish priest of The Dalles. Thisparish alone is all that one priest canattend to so that an atsUoant i- - neededbadly to attend to the iarisbesthroughout the interior as wellHood River and Cascade Locks.

A branch college for boys and youngmen will be erected on the farmCrate s point which is" a model placefor such an Institution There is sufficient land on tb-.-- . place to affordample grounds for au institution of thiskind, as well as farm land on which allkinds of fruits, vegetables acd graican be grown. Tbe place is far enoughfrom the city that boys will be in nodanger of falling in with bad associa-tes or contract the evil habits tbatthey might were they closer to thetown, while on the other hand, it is bua half hour's drive from here.

Tbe Benedictines are noted for the!ability as instructors and their actionin putting in a college of this kind iEastern Oregoo will meet with the ap,proval of every citizen in this sectionwho bas boys to educate.

No less worthy of praise is the benevolent spirit shown by Mr. Vogt anMrs. Chapman, in donating propertyto the value of nearly $20,000, forsuch purposes as a home for the agedand for the education of tbe young,

Ever since they have been In ThDalles they bave always come to thefront with most liberal donations whenthere was a call for cbarlty. Eighteenyears ago when the Benedictine Priorcame to this coast to find a locationfor a college and monastery they offered them ten thousand dollars if tbeywould locate here. A college was badlyneeded in the Wilammette Valleyat tbat time and their liberal offer hadto be overlooked. Tbey have alwavsdisired. however, to have an institutionof this kind in their home town andhave taken the above steps to encourage the building of one. It should notbe left to them alone, however, toencourage such an institution buevery business man in Eastern Oregonwho is Interested in education shoulddo all that he conveniently can to encourage the promoters.

proved by the secretary the work ofshifting the tracks will be immediatelycommenced, but up to tbe presenttime no action has been taken, andthere is some doubt as to whetheranything further will be done untilafter congress meets, owing to tbedifference of opinion as to whether tbeboat railway should be constructed, orwhether a canal or portage railwayshall be substituted. There Is a strongprejudice in favor of the canal andlocks, and if tbe next congress shouldprovide for a canal instead of tbeboat railway, the agreement will beimmediately approved and the tracksremoved. There is an available bal-

ance of $222,320 for this work.The canal at the Cascades operated

cades will not be utilized until afterthe proposals for the work have beenopened and tbe contract awarded.

Notbicg was done on tbe Upper Col-

umbia and Snake rivers in August,but quarrying was commenced inSeptember to obtain stone for repair-ing the deflecting dikes at Log Cabinisland and Wild Goose island. Opera-tions have been discontinued alto-gether on the Clearwater river.

Preparations have been completedfor a survey of tbe Columbia from itsmouth to the head of Haytian island,for the purpose of ascertaining the ef-

fect of the dike connecting tbe head ofthe island with the Oregon shore, and$14,460 is on hand for carrying on theinsoection and other works.

PORTAGE RAILWAY SCHEME.

everything Points to- Its Construction inthe Near Future Contract Let.

It now looks more than likelv tbat I

the Central Construction acd Transportation Company means businessand will begin work on the portagebetween Celilo and tbe Big Eddy In ashort time.

For several days freight teams .havebeen hauling bedding, supplies, tents,lumber for building stables and shedsand other necessary things for a railroad construction camp. All thesearticles are being hauled to a pointknown as Jensen's carnp about twomiles above the Big Eddy, and aseverything they are purchasing is ofthe most substantial kind, there isltttie doubt but that they mean bustness.

Paul Mohr, who owns most of tneright of way, has been io the city forsome time and although he would notgive any Information as to what hisbusiness was it is plain that he is herefor the purpase of arranging mattersin connection with the right of way

A rumor is afloat today to the effect that tbe contract for grading theroad has been let to the two well- -known railroad contractors Mr. H.Cowan and Mr. McMartin and if suchbe the case a large force of men wiilbe put to work by them very shortly,

At what point- tho line will beginat this end is still undecided or at leastunknown to outsiders. Some are ofthe opinion that it will be at a pointknown as the Big Eddy while othersthink it will be a short distance abovethe North Dalies Shoe factory building. This, however, is only a matterof guess work and that which we desire to see is the road constructedaround tbe rapids and a line of boatson tbe upper Columbia and Snakerivers so that the producers of thegreat Inland Empire can transporttheir products to the seaboard atsomething like a reasonable rate fortransportation, and it looks very muchas if they would soon have their wantsin this direction fulfilled.

SIBERIAN GOLD MINES

A Country That May Become

Second California.

Many of the Richest Miners Are Po-

litical Exiles The Law of Roiilam Drawback to the Devel-

opment of Riches."Keep your eye on Siberia."That is what a scientific writer on

the old problem wrote only six monthsago, and those who have visited thatsupposedly bleak, cold and dismalcountry may fairly echo his words.Siberia has been misunderstood. For40 years now mines have been openedall over the country. In Tomsk a minister of mines is permanently resident,as well as at Irkutsk, while the num-

ber of people employed in the miningindustry is considerably in excess of100.000.

Yet in spite of the marvelous richness of the country, which bas Deendescribed by more than one writer aslikelv to become a second California,little or no attempt has been made byforeigners to er.ttr and to take up tneindustry of gold mining. Yet the gov.

ernment is anxious that such shouldbe the case, and in order to facilitatethe importation, of foreign energy andbrain to the great Siberian gold fieldsspecial concessions are held out toforeigners which the native does noteniov.

Kussian law is peculiar, complicatedand a little g, and thismay have a great effect upon the capitalist, backed up as it is by the extraordinary prejudice which still exists in civilized Europe-agains- t everything Kussian.

In many respects Siberia resemblesthe Klondike district. Many of themines are situated in places equallyas Inaccessible in winter, and whichhave the same characteristics in sum-

mer. The alluvial deposits are freeand in some cases rich. Quartz thereis, but with the exception of one ortwo placea this has never yet beentapped, and in the whole of Siberiaat the present time there is not a singleefficient battery for quartz crushingthis statement on the authority of Mr.Shostok, the minister of mines for Siberia. Nor is there any machineryfor the proper washing of alluvial gold,and yet millionaire gold miners, freemen or exiles, may be found by thedozen in Tomsk, Irkutsk and Krasno-airsk- .

The practiced miner, freshfrom the fields of western Australia,British Columbia or California, woulddoubtless laugh hugely at the prim!tive arrangements in use in Siberia.

The foreigner desiring to become amine owner in Siberia must first havea letter of recommendation from hisambassador or consul, and then hecan either rent or buy existing minesOr prospect for himself. He is not al- -

loweu. more man live versis, or oymiles of land in any one particularspot, but he can have as many minesas he likes, provided they are not onone run. All the gold he obtains hehands over to the government, whichassays and smelts it for him, creditinghim with its value, less three or fiveper cent., according to the district,which is tax money. Once in posses-sion of the concession, the miner maygo to any part of Siberia, and if heknows his business and is careful thereis every prospect of him becoming arich man, for, if anything, the protec-tive laws of Russia are more severethan in any other country. Such athing- - as claim jumping is unknown,robbery or murder almost unheard of,and food is astonishingly cheap, asalso is labor. The government pro-vides each mine owner with Cossacksto guard the precious- metal, and. inshort, when one thoroughly under-stands the conditions, there can be nobetter way of pursuing the fascinating hunt for gold than under the Siberian regime.

une oi the most astonishing Tea-tur-

of Siberian gold mining is thatmany of the richest miners-- are exilessent to Siberia years ago for Some political or criminal offense, and, although they have wealth in abundance,they cannot leave that land of snow,of steppes and mountains until thegreat white czar should be pleased to-grant his gracious pardon.

Now that the great Siberian railway is slowly but surely forging itaway through the heart of Asia, it ishoped that in its wake will follow asteady tide of western civilization. Itgoes without saying that wherever therailway engine snorts its way civiliza-tion must follow. Already the line hasreached within measureable distancecf Irkutsk, the capital of Siberia.

The large cost and the great discomfort of a journey to central Siberiahave prohibited foreign enterprise upmi now, nut tee future will be different. Dispatch and comfort will bethe order of the new railway, unciwhen this has been completed thenmay Siberia be the new Klondike, butwith many less disadvantages. V. T.Herald.

CKAllKS AT THE WHITE MUUSC.Art) Harmless, Bn4 Oikem Am

Violently Inaaune.The white house was beset with the

usual number of cranks while the president was in town lately. These gentry-cam-

from every part of the civilized(world and for every conceivable purpose. Some of them are mild and somewildly insane The harmless ones aresent on their way, while those who arereally insane are placed in the handsOi 2e authorities, and eventaallv ;lo sonift asylum, says the St. Louis He--public.

Women are not lacking- - among thepoor creatures who come to see thepresident, and occasionally one appearswith a baby in her arms, which shewishes to lay in the president's bed forgood luck or which she wishes him totouch or kiss, or to look at, believingthat contact with the president willbring success to the child.

The most persistent crank which hascalled recently at the executive mansion is a man named Jackson, fromNewark, N. J. He is a good-looki-

Xellow, well dressed and with goodmanners, who labors under the de- -lusion that he is the chosen agent of iGod to warn people of approaching dis-- i

aster. He came all the way from his I

home in New Jersey to advise with the '

president and to predict that the death 1

some high official, possibly the pre- - 'ident himself, would occur in the next 3

days; to announce that the wcrld twilt come to an end in November, 1899,

to offer his services to unveil the(mysteries of the future. He talkedfluently of his hobbies, but was so evidently out of mind on this subject that

was placed tn. the hands of the po-lice, who will send him back to hiahom$.
