Pictures on Memory's Wall.

Last Sunday an old Indian was noticed
He was dressed like white man, and
seemed to wear a benign expression on
his face. His visit in that direction ex-
cited the curiosity of a reporter of the
TINES Es-MoUNTAINEER, who sought an in
terview. On being questioned he gave
h1s name as Joseph, and said he was bap-
tized by Father Waller when he was sta
toned as missionary near the academy
site. The old man was very communica-
tive, and required no questioning to draw
out his recollection of the history OF the
Methodist mission. His conversation was
carried on partly in Chinook and partly
in English, and could not be understood
without some knowledge Of the former
He could not tell how many 'snow" he
had lived; but si-ah, when he was tenas
man, he attended themlssion school, near
the spling. 1t was partly built of logs and
partly of canvas, and there were four

others. "Injuns come from ennati chuck
Klickltats. Yakimas, Tumwater, cona,oau
si,oash chaco, to hear these men speak about
God and Jesus Chllst." Joseph said he
then got "good heart" from hearing these
men talS. Father Waller took him down
to 'spling" and: baptized him, and then
"plsyed'-coqua. He then assumed the
attitude of prayer, and VIC never saw a
more reYerent position or features more
expressive of devotion even in high
in rehearsing the Anglican |
ritual. AS boy he stopped at the mis-
sion school long enough to learn to read |
The Bible, and his good heart has kept |
with HIM every SINCE > Frequently he
would go to the spring when boy and
pray like Father Waller. "All dead
low," Joseph exclaimed with sigh

A swindler representing himself to be ad.
vance agent of SeIls Bros circus has been
victimizing several Pacific coast towns. In
Portland he called on printers, liverymen,
street-railway managers, bill posters and
others, and wished to enter into contracts
for printing, hoise feed, bill posting, cir
Gus site. ETC., and in nearly every instance
was "a little short OF funds" and asked for
temporary loan, till he should receive
remittance. Some were suspicious of him,
as he was not the kind of man Sells Bros.
usually employed to do their business. but
he succeeded in securing money from a
number of persons in sums ranging from $40
to $50. Some of the parties who loaned
him the money. concluded that they had
been duped. sent dispatch to Sells Bros,
whose circus is now at Columbus, O., for

ceivod: mo. We have no agent there. He

land to work other towns. 1t will behooye
people to beware of him.

Sheep Notes.
Heppner Gazette.

Thos. A. Rhea, who has been around
among Morrow county sheep this year, gives
the following information: W. s. Small, of
Miles City, Montana, and j. N. Wadson, of
Calf, have bought $4,000 head of sheep,
the former 5000 yearlings which he will
ship from Wallula, the latter 5000 two
years olds, to be shipped from Reno, Ne
vads. Jas. Wright, of Tacoma, bought
5000 head from Blake & Clay, of Gillian
county, for the Sound market. Mr.. Bed
gar, of Pendleton, has also purchased 5000
head of sheep from parties in this ser tion.
Mr.. Rawson of Red Bluff, wants 5000 to
3, 500 ewes. to be driven overland to Mon
tana. Frank Boyd, of the same place, has
bought 1900 ewes and lambs from Wasco
parties. Sam Kinsman has bought 1000 to
5000 for the Sound market. Ed. r
Bishop, cashier of the National bank, of
Heppner. has bought 10000 head or more
for an eastern driver. We are informed
that buyers are looking this way, now that
our prices are more reasonable, and it Is
likely that but few sheep offered for sale
will remain at the end of the season,

A few days ago the TIMEs-MouNT-

A few days ago the TINES MOUNT
AMER said that the Democratic press,
with hardly an exception, were attack
ing the principle of pensioning those
who were disabled-by wounds or
sickness-in the late war, and called
their attention to the fact that there
was equally as much fraud in voting
bounties to those who served in the
Mexican war as to those who risksd
life and limb to preserve the nation
during the late rebellion. To this the
Albany Democrat takes exception, and,
in its irritation at being reminded of
an unpleasant fact, retorts in the puer-
lie style of charging us with falsify-
ing, and cites certain political hernia
phrodites, such as the Chicago
Tribune, ETC., to substantiate its
position Perhaps we were mis-
taken, and did not read correctly the
leading editorials of the Democrat;
but the language used undoubtedly
carried this construction. 1t may have
been that the Democratic party never
opposed pensions, but the Congress
sioaaal Record is evidence to the con-
trary. President Cleveland's message
mentioned the pension business as q
matter for congressional investigation,
and Senator Palmer, of Illinois, deliv-
cred speech on the same subject in
congress There must be other mat
ters of equal Importance for remedial
legislation as this one, and it is some
what strange that the Democratic
party, if it is as patriotic as it pre-
tends to be, should forget all the
others to center its eloquence upon
this one of deprlving the old soldiers
of the benefit of the few dollars the
nation has voted them individually.
This pension businesses may be all
wrong, as Democrats would have US
believe; but we have not advanced to
that way of thinking of the matter

SUGAR BoUNTIEs.

Last fall Secretary Foster estimated
the amount that would be required for
the bounty on American sugar under
the provisions of the Mckinley bill at
$l0,000,000, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. It turns out that the esti-
mate was excessive, the amount being
in reality only $9,l00,O0O. The total
sugar crop on which a bounty will be
paid during the present fiscal year is
estimated at about 480,000,000
pounds, which is an increase of about
100000 pounds over the fiscal year
of 1892.
The production of beet sugar has
advanced from 100000 pounds, in
round numbers, in 1892 to 100000
pounds in 1898. The product of
maple sugar this year will be about
100000 pounds, sorghum production
about 100000 pounds, and the cine
production about 450,0o0,0Oo pounds
The effect of the bounty as reported
by the government has not been to in
crease the number of establishments,
but to enlarge old ones and stimulate
the introduction of new machinery
and an increase in the producing
capacity.
In view of the open threats made
by the Democratic party of 1892, that
one of its first acts when in power
would be to repeal the sugar bounty
act, it is little wonder that there is no
increase reported in the number of
sugar producing and making establish
ments in the United States. Who
can wonder that farmers would not
plant their land to sugar beets, or that
capitalists would not invest their
money in sugar-making plants, with
the threat hanging over them that the
Democratic party would repeal the
sugar bounty, and compel the Ameri-
can producer to wage an unequal and
hopeless warfare with the alien pro-
ducers of sugarl
When congress meets the next time,
whether in extra or regular session,
this question of sugar bounties will
have to be settled. The Mckinley
act, in terms, promised the continu-
ance of the bounty until July 1903,
but a Democratic congress, which
never has any care or regard for do
mestlc industries, may have no hesita-
tion in breaking this promise made to
the sugar makers of California, Ne
braska and Louisiana, or in killing the
domestic sugar industry on the ruerlle
ground that it is being aided by
subsidy.

Yakima Herald: The indications are
that the proposed big irrigation scheme
OF Kittitas county, of which so much has
been written, has fallen through. Some
$4,000 or $40,000'have been expended on
this work in the way of surveys, appro-
priations, dams and rights-of-way and
what the trouble is the Herald representa-
tive was unable to learn, but it was prob
ably due to the report of Engineer An
derson, the great Denver irrigation expert,
who was called to pass upon the feasibil-
ity of the project. A meeting of the Off
GERS of the company, however, was set to
be held in Ellensburgh sometime this
week, and the citizens are hoping tina: all
obstacles may be overcome.

them on warrant charging them with hay

The prolific growth of sunf1owers IN
the Paiouse country has led B. G. Maur-
ing, of Garfield, to write to the depart
ment of agriculture for information as to
the value of the seed for commercial pur :
poses. In his answer it is stated that in
some portions of Russia the manufacture
of sunfiower oil Is very extensive, the
product being used for various purposes,
including salad oils, etc. The seeds are
also used as an article of food, white pa
per is often made from the fiber of the
stalk. The increasing interest in dIversi-
fed agricultural products may bring the
sun1ower forward as rival with sugar
beets for first prize.
