The statement we made yesterday
concerning the dismissal of the cases

has been put off until tomorrow to give
the constable time to get a jury.
There seems to be lull in the raid |
on the q. S. treasury gold which in
dicates that the raiders have about all
the yellow metal they can handle. 1t
must not be forgotten that while we
have been losing gold that we are also
producing about 81 ZOO, 900 week from
our mines.
The Hood River fair which is to be
held October 4th and 5th will be we'll
worth seeing. 1t would be good
thing for the Regulator to take down
an excursion on that occasion and it
would be of benefit to all our fruit
growers as well as our business men to
visit our Hood River neighbors. The
TINES s-MOUNTAINEER suggests great
big rousing excursion that will bring
the two communities in closer acquaint-
ance.

meeting of the state fair without at
the same time experiencing a small

the range is perfect, and, although it
cannot be used to measure webfoot

side state that the weather is good,
and the weather bureau people say it
will continue that way.

As Others See Us.

The state convention of the Prohibi-
tion party of Massachusetts, was held
at Boston on the 18th, with more than
300 delegates present. The appended
remarks on that occasion show in just
what light the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties are viewed in by the
Prohibitionists of Massachusetts:
John G. Woolley, ex-district-at-
torney of Minneapolis, was the princi-
pal speaker. He gave as one reason
why he was Prohibitionist his belief

tions of its national platform, self-ap-

The Plucky SPANIEL,

Captain Williamson was shooting
in India, with a spaniel, which ap-
parently found some game which his
master guessed to be hare. "The
dog came to stand over a bank,
wagging its tail, with ears up and
his whole frame in a state of ecstasy,
I expected that he had got a hare
under the bank, and as the situation
was in favor of getting a shot ran
toward him with more speed than l
should have done had l known that
I should find a tiger sitting up and
staring Paris in the face. They were
not three yards asunder. AS soon as
the dog found me at his side he bark
ed, and giving a spring dashed at the
tiger"
His owner admits that his own
alarm was 80 extreme that he did not
observe the further demeanor Of
either till he saw the tiger cantering
away, followed by the little dog bark
ing. 1t is of course just possible that
the tiger was nervous" and that
the little dog merely exhibited the
mpudence habitual to little dogs, who
know that they can worry a horse or
a bullock into beating retreat when
quietly lying down in a field.-Lon-
don Spectator.

Census and Assessment.

From the assessors census roll and
enumeration industrial products of
Wasco county, just completed, we
take the following summary: Legal
voters, $3.50; males q years of age and
over, 1896; males under 21 and over 10,
1901; males under 10, 1900; total num-
Der of males 58S7. Females Is and
over, 2473; females under 18 and over
10, s22; under 10, 1857; total females

we're 255, $40 pounds of wool, IA, ,465
sheep, 1875 hogs, 1856 horses, 90
mules, 1928 cattle. There were 3,221
acres under cultivation, which pro.
ducei 5sS, S,24O bushels of wheat, 1888
bushels of oats, 89,738 of rye, 700S of

Let's Get Acquainted.

We suggested yesterday that an ex-
cursion be given to the Hood River
fair the 4th of next month. Instead of
that the Regulator will make special
round trip rate of so cents, on bo.h
days OF the fair, October 4th and 9Th.
We urge upon our citizens the impor-
tance of visiting this fair, not only
our fruit-growers but our business
men should attend it. Heretofore
there has been lack of sociability
between the two sections of the county,
and this should not be allowed to con-
tinue. We know the people of both
sections and we know they would like
each other better, were they better ac-
quainted. 1t is for The Dalles to take
the initiative and the occasion of
the fair furnishes good opportunity
to begin new deal. Hood River is
the lovliest spot in the state, is settl-
ing up rapidly with splendid class of
people that we all ought to know bet
ter. Nature has separated that portion
of the county from this, but our inter-
ests, our business relations and our
welfare as a united community are the
same. Let the Regulator on Friday
of next week carry down such a dele
CATION as will show our Hood River
neighbors that we appreciate them,

Our Free Country.

AT the urgent request OF the lady
whose name is appended to the follow
ing article, we print the same. 1t will
be seen that some folks are hard to
please since in this case there seems
to be vain regret that there is but
one place to go to escape tobacco
smokers. We have placed the title of
the article over this one, but with the
heading it reads as follows:
Our free country is only free to
those Who don't trespass on the rights
of others, which is being done con-
tinually by tobacco smokers. I have
been told by many of them, if you
don't like it keep away from it. 1 ask,
where can go to avoid inhaling it?
Not in stores: post-offices, or even in
streets. There is but one place, that
is Heaven. do hope and pray that
those personal liberty people will per-
ceive their sinfulness and cease from
injuring themselves and all who are
unfortunate enough to have 20 be near
them. May God help them to be free.
instead of slaves to poison tobacco, in
any form, or any other bad habit.

A Timely Reminder.

Each season forces upon our consid-
Grafton its own peculiar perils to
health. The advent of fall finds many
reduced in strength and vigor, poorly
prepared to continue the business of
life. The stomach and bowels, the
great highway Of animal economy, is
especially liable to disorder in the fall.
The nervous system has also suffered
in the struggle. Typhoid fever ard
malaria in particular find in the fall
that combination of earth, air and
water that mark this season as es-
pecially dangerous. The falling leaves,
the decaying vegetables contribute
their share of contamination. Hoods
Sarsaparilla furnishes most valuable
safeguard at these important points,
and should be used in the fall before
serious sickness has laid you low.

DISCOVERED A LOST ART.
An Iowa Man Has Discovered a Secret of
the Ancients.

the Ancients.
S. r. Dawson, of Des Moines, Ia,
the discoverer of the lost art of hard
ening copper and making Damascus"
steel, brought to the Chicago Inter
Ocean office some samples of cutlery
made from the new metal, as they
might be termed. A large dagger
made from the hardened copper would
senorita or an Italian brigand. 1t
had an edge keener and smoother than
photographs of microscopical tests.
Metallurgists say that the discoveries
of Mr.. Dawson entitle him to rank
with the greatest inventors of the
world
In speaking of his discovery, Mr..
Dawson said: "Analysis of prehistoric
bronze shows only the elements OF
copper and tin. but when they are
compounded in the proportions indi-
Gated, an entirely different metal is
produced. 1t is so with my hardened
copper. Chemists can find it in only
copper and tin. The truth is that it
contains two other elements. What
are they? That is my secret. From
this hardened copper can be made any
kind of cutlery, from the finest surgi-
cal instruments to jack-knife. No
deleterious oxide forms on it when
subjected to any tests. 1t is about the
hardness of ordinary tool bar steel not
tempered. 1t hardens under pressure,
and any steel drill made will break it
forced against it. In the mechanical
arts it fills a place where all other
metals are found wanting"

Not the Robbers.

Constable Trana arrested man at
the Cascade Locks yesterday and took
him to Hood River. When arrested
he was trying to sell lot of new boots,
but on examination it was disclosed
that the baots lost by Mr., Blowers
were made in Milwaukee, and those
the man was trying to sell were made
by Portland firm. MIR. Blowers has
recovered all the stolen property ex-
cept one piece of flannel. Two men
were arrested here this morning on
suspicion of being parties to the rob-
berry, they having lot OF razors they
were trying to sell, but as Mr.. Blowers
had all of his razors, they were evil
IDENTIFY guiltless of that offense. How
ever it looks little as though sue
cessful raid had been made some place
with boots being peddled in the Locks
and cutlery here.

FILTHY LUCRE.
Many Prefer a Dirty Note to q New Oas,
Especially In the West.

| Many Prefer Dirty Note to q New Oass
Especially In the West.
The raid that was made on the
treasury department for new notes
and coins by the visitors in Wash
ington during the Grand Army en-
campment and the LOCO, ,000 and
more old torn bills which they left
behind indicates what a rarity a
crisp, new note is in the west. In
Washington people have got to be
quite fastidious about their money.
That which is fresh and clean is
right at their hand, and when note
begins to get a little soiled they dc
not care to handle it. Notes such as
are regarded as in good condition in
Chicago and other western cities
would not circulate for a day in
Washington. Pocketbooks are sell
dom used there except for small
change, the correct thing being for
those who have money to carry the
new bills in an envelope without
folding them, so as to preserve their
newness
A Washington man going west can
mark the stages of his progress by
the changing condition of the money.
In the cities of the far west it is bad
enough, but in the country places
and among the farmers generally
after passing the Ohio a new note of
small denomination is thing almost
unknown. Even in Minneapolis men
from Washington who carried crisp
81 notes in the original packages"
just as they came from the treasury
found occasionally places where they
could not pass the money because it
looked too new to be good" A
good many of the street car conduc-
tors refused to take the new notes.
but dirty bill, all patched and al
most free from design, was taken
without question as the proper thing.
1t is said at the treasury department
that comparatively little money
comes in from the west for redemp-
ton.
Great quantities of these notes
don't come back for redemption, and |
In the final run of years the govern
ment is much the gamer by it. The
trouble is that, while the treasury is
always ready to destroy the old notes
and give new ones in their place.
there is no provision for transporta-
tion OF the notes, and the amount of
express charges from distance pre-
vents their being sent in for rede1np-
ton. In 1882 congress made an ap-
preparation for the payment of such
express charges, and for once the en-
tire country got new set of green
backs. Since then there has been no
appropriation for that purpose, and
the national currency is sadly in need
OF repairs.-Cor. Philadelphia Tele-
graph.

ELoPED WITH \ sQUAw.
A Travelling Man Becomes Infatuated by
Dusky Maiden.

The we'll known story of Pocahontas
is brought to the mind by the escapa-
des of Edwin Shepard, a travelling
man of Portland. Not long since
Shepard met a young Indian woman
at Pendleton and fell violently in love
with her. AS he had wife and two
sons in Portland this was sad state
of affairs. However, he eloped with
the dusky maiden and went to Union.
There his wife found him out and he
is now in sackcloth and ashes as he
had been hiding his light under q
bushel. Since then there has been
CONSERVATION in the Shepard family
and the old man don't dare show him
self in Portland. He is over fifty years
of age and ought to know better, but
he don't. He is now in Boise and will
probably stay there until the smoke
clears away. The squaw has returned
to her father on the Umatilla reserva-
tion and will no doubt await the final
outcome of the expose.-La Grande
Chronicle.
There is nothing very strange about
the above either. Some travelling men
would elope with clothes horse, if
there was piece of calico or muslin
hanging on it.

Will IT Re RIOOd9

If something dreadful does not hap
pen soon then all signs and portents
fail. Tuesday night the dogs howled, a
lone owl hooted on the other side of
Mill creek, and there were clouds be-
fore the moon. Next morning we
learned that Lieutenant Herrick, and
George Washington Jacobsen had
both left town, Col. Sinnott who was to
have been referee in the talking match
between the parties in their joint dis
cussion concerning the relative merits
of pianos is silent as the grave, and
the debate has been crowded out by
more interesting matter. Can it be
that instead of shedding printers ink,
these gentlemen have quietly slipped
away to ensanguine themselves in each
others gore? If they get at one an
other with butcher knives, there will
be shower of flesh reported by some
of our contemporaries,

WHY GRAIN Is CHEAP.
Tacoma Merchants Say Exporters are
Bearing the Market.

Bearing the Market.
The fact that little grain is now
moving, though the wheat season is
fairly open, has led to an Investigation
being made to determine the reason,
says the Tacoma Ledger. From the
evidence gathered it would seem that
considerable of the blame attaches to
the local exporters who are bearing
the market for the reason that they
purchased number of charters at high
rates when charters were high some
weeks ago, and are now seeking to
save themselves from loss, or rather to
make the usual profit by paying only
low prices until. their charters are out
of the way. The same condition of
affairs exists at Portland.
At San Francisco, however, charters
have dropped greatly. Where Tacoma
and Portland exporters purchased
charters at 35 and 81 shillings, San
Francisco exporters are now getting
them for "a and 25 shillings. This, it
is estimated by grain men, givees San
Francisco the advantage in the pur-
chase of grain. One grain man said
to a Ledger reportar yesterday that
Washington farmers can ship to San
Francisco now and obtain, after de-
Quoting freight charges, 5 cents more
a bushel there for their wheat than at
Tacoma and Portland. San Francisco
quotations are 55 cents a bushel and
Tacoma and Portland quotations are
431 and A cents. SIN other words"
said the gentleman speaking, "Tacoma
and Portland exporters are endeavOr-
ing to make the farmers sustain the
loss they should bear themselves, loss
resulting from their own bad judgment
in making charters when the market
was at the highest. They are Offering
these low prices thinking the farmers
will take them but in this the exporters
to my mind, are using poor judgment.
The result of their arbitrary action will
simply be to force grain that would
otherwise be shipped to Tacoma and
Portland, to San Francisco. Such
action as theirs does more than any
thing else to injure the port. To my
mind it cannot be too severely CEN
sured. Where the Tacoma and Port
land exporters are offering 32t and "a
cents bushel they could and should
pay 80 cents"
As result of the low prices prevail
ing farmers all over the state are hold
ing their grain for higher market
The disposition generally is to hold.
It is reported that nearly all the
grain in warehouses in Eastern
Ia to be held and |
that money at the rate of 20 cents a |
bushel is being borrowed on it. 1t sales
are made at prevailing prices the
merchants will make nothing, hence |
they, with the banks, are assisting the
farmers to hold.
