800 REWARD.

Under the head "New To- Day." in
this issue of the TIMES, will be found
q card from Postmaster F'uld, offer
ing 800 reward to the writer of an
anonymous letter received to day if he
or she will acknowledge writing .the
same. Mr.. Fuld need not fear that
he will be called on for that 800.
A person despicable enough to write
an anonymous letter is too cowardly
to admit doing SO.

The Utah Ore Market.

Mr.. Ellis Harris's business consists
of shipping ore from Leadville to Utah
smelters. He ships on an average
from the Fryer Hill mines about 10
cars of ore day, amounting to about
100000 pounds week. The ore
is shipped to the Horn Silver, Mingo,
Germania and Morgan smeters, and
Mr.. Harris says the reason for ship
ping the ores such great distance is
the fact that there is better market
in Utah for the class of ore shipped
than in Charlottesville Lake Tribune.

The "TiMes" Deserving OF Credit.

The WooD RIVER TINES is doing
good work in unearthing some of the
corruption in Alturas couhty. The
alleged attorney, Bruner, who hy a
political accident was elected to the
Office Of District Attorney last fall, has
been trying to fee himself rich at the
expense of the county. Out of more
than score Of crimes committed in
the last six months, he has been un.
able, either through ignorance or
something worse, to convict a single
person. The TINES deserves credit
for fearlessly exposing such base
impostors.-Caldwell Tribune.

Give Us the Ballot.

Hon. James Wilson, President of
the late State Prohibition Conven-
ton in Iowa, remarked in his adj
dress to the convention. "The peo-
pie of Iowa will not longer regulate
the liquor traffic; they will not toll
crate it and give it diploma.
Neither do the people of Indiana
propose it shall receive a diploma
longer, if once they can get the bal
lot box open to express their hon
est sentiments, and they don't pro-
pose to be forced to vote anti-pro-
hibition tosecure submission again.

What a flask of Whisky Did.

"Run over and her head smashed
to a jelly as she lay across the track,
and nothing was found in her pock
cts except a half-flled flask of
whisky" Thus the record of a
San Francisco horror; and the re-
porter adds that nothing is known
of the cause of the "accident." Did
not the half-empty bottle Of liquor
give all the information needed ?
Did it not tell the story more fully
and tragically than you could if
you had seen the poor wretch crush
ed beneath the locomotive wheels ?
Who wants to know more, when
the whisky-bottle has once spoken -?

Trade during the past weak has bsen
quiet bnt steady. no large sales being
reported. From the most reliable
sources We compile the following:
FLOUR remains unchanged since

IL IS estimated that loo barrels of
Oregon Hour is consumed In Seattle
every month.
OATS-Firm and prices ruling higher.

BACON-No changes are reported In

BUTTER Is still arm, with prices nm
changed. Bu. little country butter
comes to market. and our people depend
principally upon California for that arti-
ole.
EGGS, aimee Easter, have declined 4
little. Large shipments have heen re-
ceived from Oregon and California,
where prices rule much lower. Eggs In
Portland are quoted from 20 to . cents
par dozen, while hsre dealers arc pay

Scott d Co. received several hundred
dozen from P0rtl md yesterday.
CHICKENS-No change reported and
prices unchanged.
POTATOES-But little Is doing In
potatoes owing to the demoralized con-
dif1on OF the California markets. Some
small lots were recently shipped TO San
Francisco, but no returns have arrived.
Small lots, say 200 bushels, of choice
varieties have been sold on the bank Of
White River. during the past week as
nigh as 80 cents Per bushel. The retail

delivered yesterday brought IS cents.
It il estimated Puget Sound produced
from 6O.OOO to 10000 sacks OF surplus

large yield in California tho chipping
demand has been very slim. Many
