A DISASTROUS cosrLAeRAr1oN.
A Fire Sunday Morning Burns a Barn.
Hay and Horses.

Early Sunday morning, about half
past o'clock, an alarm of fire was
sounded, and as soon as possible the
the fire was located in the barn of
Thomas Johns & Co., at the old garri-
son, about mile from the city. The
flames were bursting through the
building, and as there was no plug
near it was impossible to stop the
progress of the destructive element.
Quite number ran out to the place,
but there was no water available and
the heat from the burning hay and
lumber was so intense that it was i'm
possible to. approach it with buckets.
Mr.. Thomas Johns owned the build
ing, and in it he had stored about
thirty-five tons of hay and in the stable
adjoining were six valuable horses and
two wagons. The flames ragged until
everything was burned to cinders, and
all efforts to save anything was futile.
Those who came from the city. as soon
as they saw it was useless to attempt
to save the barn, devoted their efforts
to keeping the fire from the lumber
and wood piles and also the lume. If
these had taken fire nothing would
have saved them from destruction. and
several dwellings in the immediate
vicinity would have also went up in
flames. These men worked heroically,
and, by tearing up fences and remov-
ing all inhammable material, confined
the fire to the barn. The heat was in
tense, and if it had not been for the
hard work done by citizens every
building in the garrison would have
been wiped out. The first that was
known of the fire was by man being
awakened by the tramping and neigh
ing of horses in the stable, and when
he got up and dressed the flames had
enveloped the building. He gave the
alarm as quickly as possible, but it
was too late to stop the progress of the
flames.
The loss will fall peculiarly heavy
on Mr.. Johns, who lost planning mill
by fire few years ago at the same
place. and the horses were used for de-
livering lumber to different parties in
the city and will be difficult to be re-
placed. There was no insurance. so
far as we can learn. on any of the prop
erty. The fire was undoubtedly of in
cendiary origin, as there could be no
other reasonable cause for it at that
time of night. Aside from the wanton
destruction of property the helm
BUSINESS of the crime is aggravated by
the cruel death of the animals, which
were tied in their stalls and could not
be liberated when the fire was first dis
covered. If the fellow had the least
kindness of heart be would have at
least had the consideration to turn the
horses loose before he started the con-
fagration. There may be further de-
velopments in the case, and therefore
we will not make further comment.

The reservation seems almost desti-
tute of Indians.
Several strangers we're through this
part of the country during the week.
Superintendent w. J. Carter, has
been receiving bids this week for mess
supplies during the ensuing year.
The young son of Mr.. Corum. at
Wapinitia, is able to be out again after
several weeks of severe illness.
Miss Maggie Taylor has returned
to Simnasho, after three weeks of
pleasure visiting at Dufur and The
Dalles.
Miss Kate Lister is at Prineville
spending two weeks with relatives.
She is expected to return by Septem-
ber 1st and begin her sixth year as
teacher at Simnasho boarding school.
A fruit wagon passed through the
reservation last Wednesday. The
driver seemed to think that fruit had
taken sudden advance, consequently
his fruit was worth aboul twice as
much as the price asked in The Dailes
A mineral prospector visited Sim
nasho last week, and was much ex-
cited over the red clay hills of this
vicinity. Their appearance reminded
him so much of the rich iron hills in
Ozark mountains that he went away
with his pockets full of quartz.

from her bondsmen, and the officers at
The-Dalles. Shortly after the train
left this city the sheriff sawsthe woman
come out of the toilet room into the
day coach. She had been released on
bail the evening before, after having
served some time in jail for adultery.
It was evidently her intention to leave
the country, but Sheriff Driver inter-
cepted, and when the Cascade Locks
was reached he turned her over to
another officer, to be sent home.
The Fossil Journal says this year has
been the dryest Gillian county has
ever experienced. A few orchards on
upland between Condor and Arling-
ton, which heretofore have presented
a fairly thrifty appearance, have with
cred and dried in the blazing sun and
scorching wind. Except along the
foothills ;. in the Fossil end of the
county, grain Except fall sown) is
hardly worth the cutting, apd the yield
from fall sown will not average over
ten bushels per acre.

OUR FRIENDS
Inquiries Regarding Prominent Merch-
ant Who is Reported to Ship by
the Railroad.
THE DALLEs, Aug. "a, 1895.


THE DALLEs, Aug. "a. 1895.
Editor TIMES MovNrAIxKRR:
I notice in your issue of the 18th
inst. an interview of Mr.. Lord, man.
ager of the Wasco Warehouse Co.,
with an Oreg0aian reporter, and his
reference to the rate made on wool by
the D. P. & A. N. Co. in connection
with the Southern Pacific railroad,
which proved so beneficial to the wool
growers of Eastern Oregon, and also
your remarks on the position he has
occupied in relation to the boat COM
pany. Ii am rightly informed you are
correct as to his hostility to the boat
company and his efforts to turn all the
business OF the warehouse to the o. r.
q N. Co. It's rumored that only GER
tain buyers could gain any information
OF unsold woods in his warehouse, and
the competition was not as active as it
otherwise would have been had it been
open to all buyers and no favors shown.
The people who have been so largely
benefited by the low rates should know
who their friends are, and if it is the
0. Il. & N. Co., assisted by Mr.. Lord
and the Wasco Warehouse, then they
should have the credit; but if Mr.
Lord was reported correctly it was The
Dalles Portland & Astoria Navigation
Co., assisted by the Southern Pacific
railroad, who are responsible for max
ing the 90c rate to Boston and thereby
adding II to &c per pound to all the
wool that left The Dalles, not only
this season but last. This is not only
true of the wool but all other products
and freights that are shipped in and
out of this section. Therefore the
true friend of the people must of neces-
sity be the boat company, or the ReQ,l-
lat0r line, as it is SO properly called. to
whom we are SO largely indebted for
all the good we have received and re-
lief from the human oetapus railroad
monopoly.
And while the matter is being talked
about, there are lot of us country
people who would like to know the re-
lations of Mr.. Pease, of the firm of
Pease & Mays, to the boat company.
1t is rumored that he is another friend
OF the boat company, who is tarred
with the same stick and is willing to
take advantage of the situation, and
for special rates for his firm and some
private gain gives all the business of
his firm to the o. R. & N. Co. Let us
hear about him. Wool GROWER.

A Fertile Region.

Freeman Brown, a resident of
Thurston county, Wash, for the past
40 odd years. the Oldest civil engineer
in the state and long engaged in gov
ernment surveying, recently returned
from an extensive exploring tour in
the slightly known regions west of the
Olympic range. He tells the Olympidn
that there are many extensive valleys
of very fertile land there. while the
timber is immense, an unbroken for
est, so dense that the suns rays never
reach the ground. Spruce trees from
10 to II feet in diameter are found
along river benches and on the up
lands; hemlocks 100 feet to the first
branches, and much white fir and larch
immense in size and of fine form.

THE CLOSE SEASON.
First Arrest Made For Fishing Out of |
Season.

First Arrest Made For Fishing Out Of
Season.
The visit of the fish commissioner
to this city last week was connected
with the close season, and as result
1. 81. Taffe, of Cello, was arrested for
having salmon in his wheel. Deputy
1dleman, of Portland, came up from
the metropolis, and brought to light
the direct testimony of the offense
having been committed. He will have
his trial before Justice Davis some
time tomorrow. The Columbia
river opposite this city is reported full
OF nice, large chinook salmon, and
these cannot be caught because of the
close season being in operation. From
April 10 until August 10 not enough
fish were caught to supply the local
demand, and our fishermen suffered
heavy losses. Now when they throng
the river in countless mum bers they
must not be disturbed notwithstand-
ing the fact that with few days run
they could reimburse themselves for
the seasons losses and have little
money ahead to pay for keeping their
wheels in repair during the winter.
But the law must be obeyed, and our
honest fishermen must allow these
princely salmon to gambol and play
hide and seek within few feet of their
wheels. The season will open on the
10th of next month, and it is to be
hoped that they will remain in the
Columbia until after that date. i

Tomatoes From, white Salmon.

White Salmon had shipped, up to
and including last Monday, about 1000
boxes of tomatoes. Mondays ship
ment amounted to about two tons.
The price for the season has averaged
about e5 cents per box. The principal
growers of tomatoes at White Salmon
are P. F. Bradford, John r. Rankin,
G. D. Moore and J. P. Egan. These
gentlemen are well satisfied with their
returns and find there is more money
in raising tomatoes than in raising
and will hereafter plant
more largely of this favorite vegetable.

wars, eliminating in English supre-
macy in 1888. England's oppression
alienated colonial affection, induced
revolution, fastened independence.
Common cause and danger begat COL
onial union; the weakness of the con-
federation demanded q federal repub-
lie. Party differences tempted legisla-
ton. Negro slavery precipitated strife,
secession, emancipation. Federal au-
thority supreme, reorganization sue
ceeded. Religious freedom, an un-
muzzled press, invention, internal
improvement and universal education
have conspired to prosperity at home
and honor abroad.

Delaney stilI Missing.

Salem Statesman: Chief of Police
Dilley received letter yesterday from
Mrs. J. F. Delaney, of Newport, in
quiring for her missing husband, who
left home ON the 18th and has not been
found yet. She also enclosed a photo
graph of Mr.. Delaney and q full de-
scription, but there is no knowledge
Of his. having stopped in Salem. She
says he was seen on the train coming
this way from Albany, but might have
left it at Jefferson; that he had not
been seen after the train passed this
point. An impression prevails that
Mr.. Delaney has left Oregon with the
intention of seeking another location.

The Haryest.

Mr.. Henry Hudson, of Nansene, ar
rived in town today with wheat. He
says that he has kept record of some
Jhreshing he has done this season,
and, in some instances, the yield will
not be over one-half a crop, in others
about one-quarter or almost failure.
He speaks very discouragingly of the
harvest 80 far; but we hope reports
from other portions of the country
will be more encouraging. Perhaps
Mr.. Hudson has reference to spring
sown grain, and fall-sown may be much
better.
