''iii - ilbi " N'Ibli HAS
good deal TO do with engining
great steamships for merchant
and naval service. He is what
they call an idea man. just as
successful men in other lines
keep their minds glued to their
particular business, so does
Mr. Thornycroft. His latest
idea ON shipping would para
I'VE the Kilohana Art League
and give great many other
people here the shivers if it
were suggested for use on land
or at sea in Hawaii. Mr..
Thornycroft says this thing of
trying to blend the color of a
hull into the color of the water
is a humbug and that work on
the scheme has never amount
ed to anything of benefit or
practical use. He declares that
much better results would be
obtained if the ships were
painted in irregular patches of
color, as there would be much
greater difficulty in making
out their form at a distance.
Men who have had the expert
ence of trying to identify the
remains of an explosion victim
can appreciate the logic of this
paint idea-perhaps. Mr..
Thornycroft says that what
modern navies now need is a
small high speed boat to des-
troy torpedo boats as well as
larger craft. Speculation as
to where the thing will end
and what the other fellows
will do is a very wide field.
On a trial of a torpedo des-
troyer lately nearly all the men
aboard were made seasick.
They say the movement of this
craft at speed will do that right
along for her crew if the sea
is at all rough.
Evening riding parties, that
is horseback riding, make one
oft he most exhilarating OF
pleasures. A bright moonlight,
cool breeze and good roads and
a well trained horse are what
90 to make these rides COM
plete. Horses are not always
manageable, and when you
have your dearest by your side
and are attempting to do the
agreeable, it is not the incest
thing in the world to have her
horse shy and start off on
run leaving you talking to the
air.
Now a bicycle goes as fast
as a horse, never SHES or frets
and if the lady rides fast so
can you. In the States bicycle
parties are becoming quite the
fad and ladies' are greater
riders on the bicycle than on
horseback.
Bicycling is popular among
the ladies-can be proved by
the amount of talk for and
against the boomers. 1t is no
use for the man to talk against
boomers and bicycles, for if
womeh want them they will
have them and the more talk
against the bloomer costumes
the greater the demand and
the more popular they will be.
Quite number of ladies in
Honolulu ride bicycles-we
have sold two this week-the
desire for this OF door recrea-
ton is growing and to meet
the demand we have made a
large order for Monarch ladies'
wheels. We have two more
on hand as samples the merits
of which we will explain to all
ladies who call on us. These

Typewriting to Order.

Nine-tenths of the business cores
pondence of the world is today tran
scribed on the typewriter. If you
have an important matter to close by
correspondence a neat type written
letter properly punctuated carries its
ideas much more readily to the busy
business brain than one in long hand.
A city editor of one of the largest
Chicago dailies once said that his
waste basket was filed up every day
with articles Of genuine merit which
were rejected simply because life was
too short to decipher the good, bad or
Indifferent penmanship. A hint to
the wise is sufficient. If you have not
business enough to justify purchasing
a typewriter the next best thing is to
remember me, am here for that pur-
pose. All kinds of typewriter copying
done neatly and accurately. Phone,
write or call for Information and
schedule of rates. I have been asked
by several to start short hand class,
but regret to state that it will not be
possible for me to do so at the present
time. FRED D. HILL,

Wheat .speculators."

The Bulls and Bears of Chicago
have ever come in for their share Of
condemnation for the reckless manner
in which they deal with wheat, corner
options and wreck prices, but class
of wheat "speculators" have made
their appearance in Sherman county
who are even more dangerous to the
farmer. Their method is to swipe the
whole stack, regardless of prices. They
recently carried off 100 sacks belong
ing to Mr.. Pugh, near Wasco, which
he had stacked in field, and go sacks
OF Klickitat wheat from the platform
of the Columbia Commercial Co. at
Grants. No clue to the identity of the
thieves is obtainable, since they failed
to leave their address or the card of
the firm for whom they are operating.

FLAGS FOR oUR SCHOOLS.
Presentation Exercises to be Held at the
Armory.

Presentation Exercises to be Held at the
Armory.
Several years ago the pupils and
teachers purchased flag for the Court
street school.
On the opening Of the schools last
September, Capt. VJaud, of the Regu-
lator, presented large flag to the dis
trict for the Academy Park school.
On public days of local or national i'm.
portance these flags above the build
ings add much to the appearance of the
city.
The Woman's Relief Corps of The
Dalles has arranged to present each
department of the schools smaller
flag to be used in connection with a
patriotic salute in the daily opening
exercises. This salute is common
custom in many large schools of the
country.
AS none of the school rooms are
large enough to hold all of the pupils,
the presentation exercises will be held
at the new Armory, on Friday, Nov.
Is, beginning at p. m.
The exercises will continue about
one hour, and in addition to the for
NAL presentation of the flags by the
Relief Corps, there will be patriotic
songs, recitations, flag drills, and other
similar exercises by the school pupils.
The Armory is estimated to seat l,100
to l, 200 persons. All the public school
pupils in the city will assemble at
Park and Court street
schools and march to the Armory.
This will be the largest gathering of
school pupils ever seen in The Dalles,
as the schools were last assembled in
one body on Columbus day in October
92, when the number in attendance
was much smaller than at present.

LOCAL NEWS.

William Il. Lytle filed a homestead
today on the ST sw4 ne5 sw4, set nwi
sec 25, tp IS s, Is e.
A wedding occurred in the county
court room yesterday that ought to be
legal. County Judge Blakeley per.
formed the ceremony, and Commission
ers Blowers and Darnielle signed the
certificate as witnesses. The contract
ing parties were Mr.. Nathaniel Shank
willer and Mrs. Alice Gates.
Postmaster Crossen is ever gallant
and courteous, but sometimes allows
his gallantry to over size his weight.
For instance, as the afternoon train
pulled out from the Umatilld House
today, lady passenger who weighed
near 200 pounds was few minutes
late, and Mr.. c. attempted to assist her
on the train while it was in motion.
With the help of the conductor he
succeeded in accomplishing the feat,
but it was the most violent exercise he
has INDUCED in for some time.
The Oregonian today announces the
death of Mr.. Simeon G. Reed, which
occurred at Pasadena, CAL, yesterday.
Mr.. Reed came to Oregon in 1853, and
for the past forty years has been
closely connected with the great finan-
,ial and commercial interests of the |
Northwest. He was one of the incor-
of the Oregon Steam Naviga-
ion company, which finally merged
nto the o. R. & N. Co., and was also
connected with the building of a num-
Der OF the railroads on the coast.

Dug Up a skeleton.

A very peculiar incident and rather
on the sensational order was an occur
renee which happened the other day
on the farm of Joseph Houghton. who
resides near Milton, Oregon, says the
Walla Walla Union. Mr.. Houghton
was engaged in plowing, and in turn
ing the soil he unearthed human
skeleton, supposed to be that of an In
dian. What seems to be still more
curious is that it was found in a sitting
position. A large indenture is said
to be just above the right eye, and the
head is of very peculiar ah ape. The
rear of the skull seems to be twisted
considerably to the left and the face to
the right.
This spot may, at one time, have
been the scene of terrible massacre
in which the Indians figured conspicu-
ously, as this is the second skeleton
that has been plowed up on Mr.. Hough-
tons farm.

Encouraging For Horseraisers.

Mr.. Charles Richmond, who has just
returned from Chicago, says the out
look for horseraisers east is much
better than it has been for years.
The demand in Chicago for good draft
and hack horses is quite brisk and
prices are steadily advancing, so that
raisers and dealers are realizing fair
profits. For the advance in prices
there are two reasons. During the
past few years of depression raisers, to
a great extent, quit breeding, thus
limiting the supply, and with the re-
sumption of activity and increase in
the demand for work-animals the
markets were not well supplied, hence
prices gradually advanced. Mr.. Rich
mond believes the outlook for horse
raisers is improving, and that within
a short time the prices of a few years
ago will prevail.

KILLED HIS WIFE.
A Cold-B1ooded Murder Near Caleb in
Grant County.

|
The Canyon City News of Oct. 31st
gives an account of the murder of Mrs.
Fry by her husband, VIM. Fry, near
Caleb, about IS miles west of Canyon
City, in Grant county. The News
says:
CRY had been living unhappily with
his wife for some time, and last Friday
he went to the house of one of the
neighbors where she was visiting, for
the purpose of having an interview
with the aged com panion of his bosom.
Mr.. Fry called the old lady out OF the
room, and it is safe to presume that
their conversation was not upon the
same order as that of the time of their
honeymoon so many years ago. At
least this is the admission made by the
old gentleman. He seems badly
broken up, and has told different
stories.regarding the occurrence. He
says, however, that while the CONVEX
sation lasted he did not begin to get
angry until his wife called him liar;
and not real angry until she empha
sized her assertion by calling him a
d-m liar. Then he could not control
his temper, and pulled out his revolver
and shot her.
"The bullet struck the woman in the
face, entering the cheek and lodging
at the back part of the head. A ply
sician was called from Mitchell, who |
pronounced the wound fatal. But the |
victim fingered on until Sunday after
noon, when she died. In the mean
time the man who did the shooting
had surrendered himself to the author
tiles, and q preliminary trial before
Justice Cowne resulted in his being
neld under bonds in the sum of $4,000,
pending the death of his victim. He
vas delivered to the sheriff Monday
and the stage driver Who
,ame in Tuesday morning brought the
Information that Mrs. Fry died on
Sunday. Therefore the murderer will
,e given a chance to brood over his
.wful crime in the solitude of the
ounty Jail until the May, 1896, term
# circuit court"

WHOLESALE HAY BURNING.
An Apparent Move Against Sheepmen in
Crook County,

An Apparent Move Against sheepmen In
Crook County.
Word has just been received OF the
burning of 40 tons of hay belonging
to Mr.. James Connolly, of Cherry
Creek, Crook county, on the morning
of Nov. O. This is the fifth lot of hay
that has been burned in that section
within the past month. The hay thus
far destroyed belonged to sheepmen,
and suspicion is aroused that is is a
concentrated action against the sheep
raisers in that locality to destroy their
fodder and thus close them out Of bust.
ness.
The plan adopted by the incendiaries
appears to be to place phosphorus
about the stacks during the night,
which is ignited by the heat of the
sun the next day, setting the hay on
fire, and everything Is consumed by
the flames. Sheepmen in that vicinity
are guarding their haystacks day and
night, and it will be no surprise if the
fire-bugs are some night caught. II
they are the coroner of Crook county
will likely have employment inquiring
into the cause of their demise, for the
men who are guarding their property
will not hesitate to use violent means
in its defense.

EVIDENTLY A MISTAKE.
Conflicting Statements About the Opening |
OF the Locks.

Conflicting Statements About the Opening
OF the Locks.
The Pendleton Tribune OF the 9Th
credited Major Post, government en-
gineer, with the following statements
concerning the completion of the locks
at the Cascades:
"In speaking of the Cascade locks,
Major Post said that the work would
not be completed for year or so. Con-
siderable material will have to be re-
moved from the entrance to the locks.
Everything considered, Major Post
says, boats will not be able to pass
through for year or So"
Evidently the Tribune either quotes
Major Post incorrectly or misunder-
stood his statements; for when he was
in The Dalles last Tuesday evening, he
stated that the locks will be completed
SO that boats can pass through imme-
diately after the next high water. This
OF course means that the work will be
finished prior to tue rise of the water
next spring, or about the first of
March, the date on which Day Bros
contract expires. 1t is not probable
that Major Post is travelling over the
country circulating conflicting reports
concerning this matter, hence it Is like.
ly the Tribune reporter did not compre.
hend his statements. And such state.
ment Is contrary to the information
given out by the contractors. Last
Sunday gentleman OF this city was at
the locks, and to him MIR. /. N. Day
said the work, so far as their contract
was concerned, would be finished
about March /, 1895. This means that
boats can be passed through by that
date. So far as the work there is con.
cerned, it is progressing satisfactory,
all the men being employed that can
be worked to advantage. The lower
bulkhead will be removed within thirty
days, and all the stone work will be
completed by December lst. The up
per core is being taken out at the rate
of 700 cubic yards per day, and there
yet remains about 10000 cubic yards to
remove. This will require only about
forty days. One-half the last gate is
now In place, and the other half is
being put in place with all possible
haste. With such facts as these ex-
listing, there Is no reason to believe it
will yet be year before boats can pass
through the locks.

BONANZA FARMS.
A Large Acreage in Northern Dakota De-
voted to the Growth of Wheat,

voted to the Growth of Wheat,
THE DALLEs, Nov. Z, 1895. :
| Editor TINES -MoUNTAINEER.
The extensive level prairies in Da-
kota constitute some of the most prince
ly farms on the continent. In Argen.
tine the large areas devoted to pastur-
age may excel them in extent; but
these pastures continue in their pri-
meval, uncultivated condition. On the
contrary the bonanza farms of Dakota
have been highly cultivated, and the
latest improved implements are used.
The line of the Northern Pacific
passes through these immense farms,
and on either side they can be dis
cerned to the almost boundless limit of
the horizon. Apparently the soil is as
level as a floor, and the monotony of
the immense stubble fields are dotted
at intervals with wheat ricks. The
grain is bound in sheaves, and then
securely placed in stacks, which are
constructed with great care 80 as to
Withstand the storms of fall and winter,
II necessary.
The Dalrymple farm comprises 52,-
600 acres, and the proprietor has
little army of employees. Harvest time
had passed when the writer made the
trip on the last days of September, and
only few men could be seen gathering
few scattered sheaves. Every three
or four miles are clusters of farm build |
iags, and wagon roads intersperce the
area at convenient distances. With |
the immense output Of grain a small
profit per acre will give Mr.. Dalrymple
a good income, and as his money in
vested elsewhere would realize him
very small percentage, perhaps he re-
alizes better from his American farm
than if the same capital had been
placed in government securities.
But with the westward course of en-
oire these immense tracts will be cut
Up in small holdings, and communities
will build towns where now only grain
ields are seen. Then will follow d.
'ersified industries, and labor will be
'etter paid and the wealth of the state +,
will increase. This is the inevitable
estiny of all such regions, and Dakota
7ill furnish no exception to other por- :
ions of the country.
Along the line OF the Northern Pa
ific the Bonanza Farms will always Z
g an attraction to the tourist, and, e
lille these may not create the same
1terest as grand mountains, valleys
nd rivers; but they form an agreeable
to a picture that will al
ays rival the creation of any gifted
rtist. Ex.
