ELKs MEMORIAL DAY.
Appropriately Observed by the Order at
the Locks.

Appropriately Observed by the Order at
the Locks.
The first Sunday in December is des-
ignated by the order OF Elks as memo
rial day, and the occasion was appro-
priately observed by the brotherhood
at the Cascade Locks Sunday. The
ceremonies of the order on memorial
day are public, and the ritualistic SER
vices are very impressive, tribute be-
ing paid to the departed brethren, the
memory of their commendable deeds
on earth extroled and fitting supplica-
tion offered for their peaceful rest. The
services ct the Locks were largely at
tended by the citizens of that place be.
sides q number of visiting brethren
from Portland being present. Mr..
John Michel. of this city, was eulo-
gist, and his well-worded and eloquent
address rivited the attention of his
hearers to the subject Of his discourse.
so vivid indeed were the pictures OF
life and death, the duties of man to
man to his Creator. that his hearers
were frequently moved to tears. Aside
from the regular ritualistic exercises,
an. excellent musical programme was
rendered, affording acceptable enter
tainment to all present.

SHE USED THE PASS. Z
The Ingenious Scheme OF Woman on q
Train.

q
Train.
A genial Chicagoan, who for obvious
reasons does not care to have his name
,rinted on this occasion, secured par
or car seat on an express train for ln-
annapolis few days ago and as he was
bout to pass through the gates was sur
,rised to hear himself accosted in feDl-
nine tones with the somewhat startling
,uestion: "Please, mister, could I bor-
Nv you for awhile?" Looking arounl
found two buxom women, who hesi-
,tingly explained that they were rid
on pass made out in the name of q
nntlcman and his wife, and as the gen.
icman was not present, they wanted
ie genial-looking citizen to place his
ought ticket at the disposal of one
.dy, and take the other one under his
ing while he personated the absent
,wner of the pass.
(Which is my wife?" he inquired,
with an inward qualm lest his own ab-
sent better half should ever hear the
story.
"You can take your choice, sir" said
the lady in search of an escort, and he
promptly did so by taking the arm OF
the younger fair one under his own and
leading her into the car. The couple
proved to be right jolly travelling CON-
anions and the citizens only re gret i'll
the transaction was due to fear that
the story might leak out and get home
ahead of him.

Lee Ching ON trial.

A jury was secured this Tuesday il
the case of the state against Lee Ching
charged with murder in the first de-
gree, in the killing of Lock Woo. The
following gentlemen composed thejury
w. D. Jones, T. Edmunson, R. a.
Guthrie, Geo. W. Rowland, Peter
Godfrey, A. Mcdonald. Frank Gabel
Francis Kincaid, F. M. Thompson, w.
r. Haynes. W. q. O'Dell and F. ].
Kellar.
We understand the prosecution Of
fered to accept plea of guilty OF
manslaughter, but Lee Ching, dc.
claring his innocence refused the
offer. The testimony was the same
as in the case of Lee Git and the
case seemed to attract but little atten.
ton the courtroom being nearly vacant.
The arguments attracted a still
larger crowd. Lee Ching was a wit
ness in the case of Lee Git, and accord
ing to his story, instead OF assisting In
the crime did his utmost to prevent it
The question for the jury to decide is
on this point. 1t is not denied that
Lee Ching was present at the killing,
SO that the capacity he was there in
whether friend or enemy of the de-
ceased.

IN DEADLY COMBAT.
Wapiti and the Red Deer In Central Park

Wapiti and the Red Deer In Central Park
Fight Duel.
War was proclaimed in Central park.
The wapiti and the red deer bucks were
spelling for fight. It is a way they
have at this season of the year, says the
New York Recorder, and in the forests
many a duel to the death is fought, with
no seconds standing by, and with no
human or other appreciative eye to wit
ness the valor displayed.
For the past few days the wapiti and
the biggest of the red deer bucks have
glared at each other across the barbed
wire fence which separates them. Then
they began charging at each other, and
their antlers came together with many
a resounding crash. After much ma
nenvering Keeper Snyder got rope
over the horns OF Mr.. Wapiti, but the
buck did not mind 1t in the least. Then
a dozen keepers got hold of the lariat,
and with great difficulty forced the
wapiti away from his painting rival, and
he waa put into paddock where there
were only. young fellow bncks whose
antlers had scarcely begun to sprout
and whom, OF course, he would not con-
descend to attack
The blood of the red stag. however,
seemed boiling. and having no longer o
foeman worthy of his horns he chased
and prodded the poor ladies' Of his
harem The keepers. at the risk of
their lives, sawed off his antlers and
his martial spirit seems to be knocked
out Of him forever.

Is Having Good Results.

We are reliably informed thai if se-
we're weather does not prevent opera
tions, the Rattlesnake canyon road
will be 80 nearly completed that wagons
can pass over it within week. The
heaviest grade on the road is only Is
inches to the rod, therefore it will be
an easy thoroughfare over which to
haul freight. The construction of
this road is already having telling
effect on the freight rates extended to
the Sherman county people, the rail-
road company having made rate of
81. l6a per ton on wheat from Blggs to
Portland. With plenty of good roads
leading into The Dalles, and the Reg
ulator on the river, farmers everywhere
can be assured of the best prices OBJ
tainable for their products.

Delay at the Locks.

The condition of affairs at the Gas.
cades seems to be badly mixed, and
the work is not progressing as rapidly
as it should. 1t seems the delay is
caused now by the engineers depart
ment, which forbids the dredging OF
the approach to the canal at the upper
end. We do not know how true this
is, but it seems to be very well cir
culated statement. Mr.. Day has gone
to Washington to get matters in shape
again, aud it is hoped his mission will
be successful. The people of Eastern
Oregon have waited patiently for
many years for the completion of this
work, and they should not be again
disappointed. The season has been an
exceptionally favorable one for COM
pleting the work, the people have been
promised that it should be done, and if
IL Is not some one is going to hear
from them.

Hood River Election

Hood River held. its annual election
ofoficers Tuesday, but the returns were
not in at the time we went to press.
There are two tickets in the field, and,
as we understand it, the regular ticket
with L. N. Blowers for mayor stood
the best chance of W inning. The
peculiar characteristic OF this fight is
that the cow, the good, gentle old COW,
is not in the muss in any shape. There
was time not long since when she
had that community at war with itself.
but she has drifted out, and out of
sight. A city election without the
COW question in it is indeed worthy Of
extended comment.
