Free Trade with Brazil

The Republican press everywhere Is rejoicing in the fact that We are to have partial free trade with Brazil It is a delightful sight to behold the men who have been denouncing free trade as a wicked British device for running Ameri- can industry now facing about under the enchantment of the "shrewd and weatherwise navigator" of the State Department, and praising absolute free trade with Brazil as . thing highly hene- fclal to our farmers and manufacturers The foreign market, which they have been labor!ng in season and out to prove worthless, unproiitabie, uncertain, far away, expensive, and cursed with pauper labor, suddenly looms up as thing of beauty. Mckinley wanted 10 know only last May "what peculiar sanctity hangs about foreign trade" and already the sanetity is discovered. There is to be an attempt to find "a foreign market for another barrel of pork and another bushel of wheat"
 Oi course tho treaty with Brazil will be good thing, SO far as 1t will go. but our farmers must not expect it 10 go too far. The duties on farm products which Brazil will remove on the first of April are very small at present. What those duties arc may be seen from the follow ing statement from commercial com pany In New York:
 "Wheat, free; wheat four. 10 DOT cent ad valorem on fixed valuation of 10 reis per kilogrAmme; corn, 10 per cont ad valorem on valuation of reis per kilogramme; corn flour, 30 per cent. ad valorem on . valuation of 120 reis per kilogramme; rye, 10 per cent. ad valorem ,,, a ua Ina ion Of rasa Lt potatoes, beans, and peas, 10 per cent nd valorem on valuation of rels per kilogramme; pork, 10 per cent ad val prem on valuation of 40 reis per kilo- yramme; dry fah. 10 per cent ad valorem

 You may go into parliament but they will never grant Home Rule to Ireland, or, very much land reform while the Queen has power to defeat it Coercion will be enforced by adding greater num- Der to the official force now established in Dublin.

Disastrous C0Illsian

ATHENS, Sept. IL "A collision has
taken place off Cape Colonna, the most
Southern point OF At,ica. Greece, between
the Italian steamship Taromlna, of the
Italian Messageries Company, and the
Greek steamship ThessaIIa. The Taro-
nina sank soon after the accident, drown
ing her captain, sew eral of her crew and
large number of cabin passengers.
The second officer of the Taromlna and
a numbef of passengers standing on the
bridge at the time the collision occurred
were saved by boats of the Thessalia.
The damage done the Taromina by the
collision was SO great that she sank few
minutes after being struck by the Greek
steamship. Most of the Taromins's pas
sengers were in their berths at the tim,
the vessels collided, and the latest esti
nation is that 100 persons were drowned
The ThessaIia was badly damaged for
ward, but by keeping her pumps gong
succeeded In reaching Phaleron.
ROME, Sept. lin an interview with
& correspondent of the Tribune, Captain
Pimas. OF the steamer Thessaiis, said:
The Taromina's captain must have been
mistaken IN bis course. did everything
possible, but could not avoid running
into the Taromina" The crew o. the
Thessalla gave statement to the effect
that the pumps were not started until
three hours after the collision, but they
agree that the Taromina's people had not
a chance, as she sank immediately. The
General Navigation Company's report
says the Thessalia cume on full steam and
ignored the Taromina's repeated whist
ling. A terrible scene of panic followed
the collision. Many passengers were
pitched in the hold through the open
matches by the shock. Some leaped
aboard the Tbessalia, which resumed her
course five minutes afterward, needless
of the signals of distress.

about forty persons were killed and six

There is no telling 70 what extent the

from the fearful results IN San Salvador,
the number OF killed throughout the

From all the houses the unfortunate

quakes, by turns feeble and violent, con-

expects a climax to come on September

A Sad Case.
DuFUR, Or, Sept. 12, 1891.

DUFUR, Or, Sept. 12, 1891.
Editor TINES -MoUNrAINEER:
A month or more since Mr.. E. s. Al
baugh and Mr.. D. r. Carmichael came
to Dufur, the latter to work at his trade
as jeweler, and the former to re-
main with his friend until such time
as be was able to go to work. Both
came from Fresno, Calf. Mr.. Albaugh
was model physically, being about 5
feet, 10 inches in height, and weighing
1875 pounds. He claimed to be but
slightly i'll, and was around among our
citizens making friends wherever he
made acquaintances. He seemed to de-
cline rapidly, though still able to be
among US, and unwilling to grant there
was anything serious the matter. To
the inquiry as to why he did not have
medical attendance he reluctantly said
he would "if he did not get better soon."
Some days ago he went to the Central
House, kept by Mr.. E. D. Aohna, and,
though he still stald on his feet most of
the time, his friends became alarmed as
to his condition, as Mr.. Bohna said be
ate no food whatever. DR.. Vanderpool
was called. who pronounced it a case of
typhoid fever in its worst form. Inward
bleeding had set in and the patient was,
be thought, beyond the reach of medi-
cine. Mr.. Bohna and wife, Mr.. Car
michael and Others did everything posi-.
BILE to be done for the suffering man and
bad his nearest relations been present he
cou not have been better provided for.
He was conscious to the last, and five
minutes before death be insisted upon
beng placed in rocking chair, as 1.-THE
bed hurt him." This was done and he
quietly passed away.
Though only a short time among US,
the citizens of Dufur appreciate the no
BILE character of the man, as displayed
during his illness, and the funeral will
be largely attended by those who knew
him but a short time, but knew him only
as perfect gentleman in health and an
sufferer In sickness. The
funeral will take place from the o. B.
church, and Rev. Ira Overturf, of Mist,
Nehalem valley, will officlate at the bur-
ial ceremony.
The deceased was about 81 wears of
age, and has relatives and friends in
Fresno and in San Luis Obispo. A tele-
gram was sent to sister in the latter
place by Mr.. Carmichael, who stayed
with his friend as brother. He will be |
buried at the Odd Fellows cemetery at
this place. MI. A.

PERILS OF THE RANGE.
Fierce Encounter Between a
Sheepman and Bear.
HIS DOG A VALUABLE ALLY
An Example of Scotch Chit that Would
Assault Even the Gates of Hades
Under Certain Circumstances,
Which Are Named.

The sheep business in Eastern Oregon is
subject to many yicissitudes, not the least
of which and of frequent occurrence, is
when the owner of focks of sheep must
take his life 10 his own hands in caring for
and protecting his bands from the wild
animals that 1nfest the mountains in the
Cascade range. During the fall months
the bands of sheep are drlveu into the fast
nesses of the Cascades, where green grass is
abundant, when feed on the lower attitudes
is eaten out. Every season sheepmen
drive their fiocks to these ranges at great
expense and labor, and on the nutritious
grasses the sheep thrive and prosper.
Mr.. Michael King. for several years past
has followed this plan, and during this
time has had several conflicts with wild
animals. On various occasions he has
killed bear, panthers and coyotes. which
were enemies OF his focks; but the most
desperate fight he has yet had with noun.
tain animals was on September lst. On
that date, about dusk, he heard the bleat-
ing of a lamb. and, with bare feet. crawled
out to ascertain the cause. He soon heard
an omineus growl, which he could just dis.
tinguish in the growing darkness proceeded
from bear. Putting his rifle in rest he
fired two shots at bruin and started back to
camp to put on his shoes and reload.
slowly onward, parting the bushes
as he passed, his left hand was suddenly
seized by bear, and was only released
when his faithful dog attacked him in the
rear. Jumping back, and at the same time
lealing the animal a terrible blow in the
nose, he managed to stun the bear for
but his paw scraped his left thigh,
eaving wound an inch and half deep.
This was too much for our Scotchman, and,
procuring supply OF cartridges from
lis camp. he followed the bear, in
lis bleeding and seriously wounded
condition until he fell on the ground hors
lu combat. As he expressed himself in his
'road Gaelic dialect, no bear was ever made

kinned the animal, and now has the hide

see that no horses are left alone, and to call
attention Of owners, etc., to exercise little
care with their animals, particularly If they

Moro Observer: In proof of the fact
that the very finest fruit OF every de-
scription can be raised In Sherman
county, on dry, bunch-grass soil, we re-
ceived yesterday from Mr.. R. A, Moore .
box containing a variety of delicious
fruits, all of which he raised on his place,
about seven miles southeast of Moro, on
a dry knoll. There were large apples Of
excellent quality, prunes of different va
rieties. Siberian crab apples, and many
other samples OF Sherman county's pro-
ducts. We have always contended that
Sherman county could be made one Of
the leading fruit raising counties in the
state if people would only give proper
attention 10 the matter.
