Sc Medicine and Rain-makinr.

Phillip Knowles, the energetic agent of
the s. B. Manufacturing company is in
the city. He has just returned from a
four months trip through the towns of
Washington and Idaho and reports the
most flattering success in the sales of
the S. B., medicines The trip through
Washington was the second he has made
through that state and he found his
former customers perfectly enthusiastic
in the praises of the medicines. In the
city of Spokane he gave away 5000 sam
pie bottles and in Boise City, Idaho, hap
pening to be there during the time of
the Forepaugh circus he distributed 5000
bottles. While at Nampa City, Idaho,
Mr.. Knowles saw Rain Producer Mel
burn carrying out contract he had
made with the citizens to produce a
given number of inches of rain to ex-
tend over territory, of sixty miles in
diameter. Mr.. Knowles says this effort
was complete success. It was one day
about six weeks ago when Melburn ar
rived in Nampa City. The citizens pro-
cured a ladder which was leaned up
it and pitched small tent on the roof
Through the roof of the tent an ordinary
stove pipe was projected and this is all
that the public were permitted toeee of
Melburn's working machinery. When
all was ready some black clouds lowered
over the town which indicated rain, but
Melburn refused to do anything till they
had rolled away. When the sky became
perfectly clear Melburn's brother an
nounced to the crowd of onlookers that
he was ready to bet $500 to 800 that it
would rain within certain number of
hours. Bets were made freely on both
sides, but the rain came in extent and
quantity as Melburn had predicted.

Give Us a Hard one.

The TInies-MountGinee asks: "If it
cost 100000 to build five-eigths of a
mile of a portage railway, what wonld
it cost to build road eighteen and
three-fourths miles long?" That's easy.
Let us see. Five-eigths will go into
10000 about thirty times, therefore it
would cost abont thirty times as much,
because there would have to be thirty
crews of men to build it, with thirty
times the present number of superin-
tendents and clerks, and thirty locomo-
tives, and thirty times sixteen cars, and
thirty round houses, and thirty switches
at each end and thirty inclines at each
end and thirty wharf boats at each end,
and thirty times three acres of land and
thirty Office buildings and thirty shops
and thirty water systems and thirty
superintendents' houses and thirty
car sheds and thirty blank fools like the
editor of the Tin,es-M Mountaineer to lie
about the work

Composition on Animals.

The following composition was picked
up on the Bake Oven road near Salt
Springs, by our friend NJ Geo. A.
Young and handed us for publication.
Whether it is the fruit of the budding
genius of some Eastern Oregon cowboy
or servile copy of the latent talent OF
the effete east we cannot tell but here
she is
There are great many kinds of ami
mails; such as the rat-terrier, and the
rhinoceros, and the coon, and the orang-
outang, and the opossum, and the poll
parrot and few others.
The dog is very useful animal. He
can play tricks and howl when anybody
is going to die. The pig is very inter
esting animal also. He is not so nice a
house-keeper as some other folks, but he
| is very useful in the "buckwheat cake
and sausage season.
The locust is composed principally of
voice, the rest of him is not worth
noticing. A rabbit is not 80 big as an
elephant but he can run faster.
Why is an elephant like summer
boarder? because he takes his trunk
with him. made up that conundrum
to put in this composition. A porcupine
is very curious animal. Judging from
his appearance, l do not believe he would
make a very comfortable bed-fellow. He
appears to be too proud, that is, loo
much stuck up. A cat is domestic
animal, Our cat once got into pan of
dough and made mess of it, and mother
got after her with stick. This is why
she is called dough -mess-stick animal.
mosquito is not so large as a man, but
if there is a difference of opinion be-
tween them, and the man wants to sleep
and the mosquito don't want him to,
you may be sure the misquito will come
off victorious.
The zebra is little horse, painted
with black & white stripes. He is
principally useful to put in the primer
to illustrate the letter "Z.''
Animals are very useful to the circus
cause the minister & his wife, & the
deacon and his wife, and their grown up
relations can all go to take the baby to
see the animals. The COW is an animal
having four legs, one on each corner OF
her. She also has two horns, but she
cannot make as much noise with them
both as small boy can at Christmas
time with only one. This is the end of
my composition.

incorporated at Portland 1t is not
known what route will be selected. It
is reported that it will be built across
the mountains to connection with the
Union Pacific at or near Huntington.
1t is also limited that the company will
ultimately connect with the Nevada,
California and Oregon, which wants a
northern connection. It is stated that
the company will build first to Mar
guam, in Clackamas county, distance
of about thirty-five miles. From there
it will go through pass in the Cascade
mountains near Eagle creek. The road
will be standard gauge, and its esti-
mated cost will be between $4,000 and
10000 mile. sIt will be nearly 800
miles long.

A False Report Contradicted.

The incalculable injury that an ire
sponsible and vicious newspaper can do
to its own town is well illustrated by a
letter that we saw today which was sent
from large San Francisco firm of ut1-
derwriters to an agent in this city. The
letter says: 1--WE understand that a
proposition to bond your city for a rea-
sonable amount of money for the express
purpose of improving your water system
was voted down. The sequel is the loss
of more than ten times the amount OF
money that the enterprising citizens
asked for" So far as the people of The
Dalles are concerned this statement
needs no contradiction, but for outsiders
it may be said that it is utterly false.
The city has been bonded for $125 900 to
put in complete gravity system that
will give pressure on the mains in the
business part. of the city of hundred
pounds to the square inch The work
is now nearly finished and when COM
pleted, we will have as good water
system for fire protection and as good a
quality of water and supply as abund-
ant as can be found in any city of the
same size in the state of Oregon

A Pleasant Time.

The band boys ball last night was one
of the most enjoyable seasons that the
pleasure seekers of this city have had
for many a day. About 15O tickets were
sold and this amount represents the net
proceeds, as everything was furnished
the boys gratis. Dancing commenced
about nine O'Clock and lasted till the
hour of two this morning, when the
program ended with a charming medley
by the string band which gently glided
into the soft and tender tones of "Home
Sweet Home,' as the happy COM
pany marched out of the ball room
to their respective homes. A striking
feature of the occasion was John Booth 8
lemonade stand where the little darkey
Jimmy furnished an exquisite glass
of ice cold lemonade to everyone that
asked for it. The stand was in the
northwest corner Of the ball room. COW
cred by a little fairy canopy draped' in
red. A piano lamp with red shade
made. all the surroundings red red ex-
cept only Jimmy's immaculate white
apron which refused to succumb to the
general effect. Conspicuously on the
apron were the red figures "62'' which
indicated the number of Mr.. Booths
store on Second street. Jimmy's breast
was adorned with big red bouquet,
and neater little waiter never served
lemonade from washtub.

Card.of Thanks.

The band boys of this city desire to
extend their very sincere thanks to the
many friends whose generosity made
the ball of last night such a complete
success. They desire specially to name
Colonel Sinnott, who generously gave
the use of the ball room, and John
Booth who furnished an abundance of
cooling temperance drinks without
money and without price. But it is
with special gratitude that they ac-
knowledge the services of the Bettingen
String Band which contributed more
than anything else to the enjoyment of
the night. Signed.

Preparing for winter.

The Union Pacific company has a
number of laborers employed in repair
ing the road between The Dalles and the
Cascade Locks, Bridges are being
newly braced, new timbers put in, worn
rails replaced and the roadbed receiving
general overhauling. The company
intends to have the road in good condi-
ton before the winter sets in, thus re-
ducing the possibility of accident to a
minimum. 1t viii require considerable
work to put the road in first-class con-
dition, but Superintendent Baxter pro-
poses to rush it along as speedily as pos
sible.
