The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1895-06-01

The Wamic base ball club played 8
return game with Dufur yesterday on
the Dufur grounds.
The weather was the best and the
grounds in first class condition. Many
visitors from the surrounding country
and every body in the town attended
the match. Early in the game there
was some betting on the result; but
after the third inning it was apparent
to all that the Dufur nine were vastly
overmatched owing, some say, to a
disagreement among the players.
Whatever the cause, the visiting club,
to use slang phrase, just ''batted
them off the diamond" and our in
formant says that had Dufur been in
the best condition possible they would
have had to play the best game ever
played in the county in order to win.
The visiting club was made up of
prominent citizens of Tygh Valley and
Waniic, and were warmly applauded
at each brilliant play.
This is the first time the Dufur club
has been beaten, but the score of Is to
13 will probably make up for some of
their great victories. We have not
the score or players at hand.

RAILROADS.

The New York Sun has the follow
ing in the issue of May 10th, regarding
the conflict between steam and elec-
tricity:
'.We must suppose that one of the
main subjects of interest at the Inter-
national Railroad congress to be held
In London, at which there are to be
many American delegates, will be the
substitution of electricity for steam as
a motor power upon long lines of rail
road. The question is q pressing one,
and cannot be got rid Of, or lost sight
of. The trolley is already used upon
hundreds of short lines and upon many
of very considerable length. Before
the use of the electric motor can be
extended to all railroad lines, there
are number of questions that must
be settled more definitely than they
have yet been. The best chance yet
offered for their consideration viii be
at the London Congress.
"We have spoken repeatedly of. the
conflict of interests between the troll
ley companies and the steam railroad
companies in Connecticut. The dis
pute there has been carried into the
courts and into the legislature, with
results that have not been satisfactory
to either party, and least so to the
party of electricity. In Pennsylvania,
also, the supreme court of the state
has put the trolley at disadvantage
in so far as long-distance lines are con-
cerned. In New Jersey, likewise,
there is an important legal dispute be-
tween the largest railroad company
there and an electric company desirous
of running a trolley between New
York and Philadelphia. There have
been disputes of similar kind in sew
eral other states. The case against
the trolleys, in most instances, is
grounded upon the vested rights of the
steam companies.
1.-THE dispute ought not to be con-
tinued any longer than may he neces-
sary for the determination of the
points at issue. If electricity is more
efficient, more economical, and other
wise more satisfactory than steam as a
railroad motor, the fight against its
general adoption cannot be of any
avail in the long run. The existing
railroad companies will either have to
make use of it or give place to the new
companies that use it. There is no
sense in delaying the change, if it be
in truth practicable and desirable
change.
"The London congress will be a
body that can render weighty judg-
ment upon the relative value of the
two motive powers for long-distance
,.oilroadr :,

There were about 1000 sheep at the
stockyards of r. E. Saltmarshe & Co.,
in this city today. They were being
shipped to Chicago, and were the prop
erty of Mcclellan Bros. of Antelope.
Mr.. ]. Roth has garden west of the
city. near the Catholic cemetery, in
which he has some very choice berries
| and vegetables. The strawberries in
his garden, grown without irrigation,
are most delicious in flavor.
The police court was not very ac-
lively engaged in business this morn
ing. Two arrests were made last
night of persons in an inebriated con-
dition, and they were brought before
the recorder and sentenced to pay a
fine of S. each.
The following constituting the grand
jury were empanelled today, and, under
instructions of the court, retired to ex-
anime into the affairs of the county:
VIM. Floyd, foreman; D. M. Earring
ton, Thos. Johns, Frank Leiblein, Joel

week for shipment to Santa Rosa for
final interment. 1t required the
united efforts of eight men to lift the
casket from the grave, as the body had
become at least partially solidified by
the action of the chalk in the ceme-
terry ground. The casket with its con-
tents weighed at least 700 pounds. and
| no odor was emitted after boring a
hole in the outer boxing.

Improved Breeds of Sheep.

The remainder of 5000 head of sheer
owned by Mr.. Geo. A. Young, of Bake.
oven, were crossed over the Columbia
to Klickitat county this morning.
They were in fine condition, and nc
doubt after feeding on the nutritious
grasses of Klickitat county, will be in
good shape for the next winter. Mr..
Young has some samples of wool with
him from his Shropshire sheep and
from the mixed flocks-Shropshire and
Merino. The staple from the thor
oughbreds is long and of good quail
ity-what is usually determined comb
ing wools. From the mixed breeds it
is finer quality but not as long staple.
Mr.. Young says the yield is heavier
than from the pure Merino, and for
mutton the Shropshire and mixed
breeds the carcass. is much larger.
Some of the lambs dressed have
weighed as high as 40 pounds, equal to
the weight of two-year-old Merinoes.
To those interested in our sheep in
dustry it will be welcome news that
our wool raisers have been for years
past constantly improving their focks,
and now, in Wasco county, as fine
wool is raised as anywhere in the
country.

Mr.. D. Parrott has his engine, which
will furnish the power for his air ship
in the city. He has a caveat on his
invention, and the mechanical prin-
ciples are unquestionably new. The
engine complete weighs about LAO
pounds, and is 45-horse power with 200
pounds pressure of steam. Above and
below the shaft are two sets of cog
wheels, and these work into a spiral
screw, which multiplies the power
very much These cog-wheels save
the wear and tear of the shafting, the
pressure being equal above and below.
In the steam chest are numerous little
chambers, which retain the full force
of the motive power, whether this be
steam, water, or vaporized chemicals.

Suicide at Baker City.

The dead body of James Kidwell was
found in stall in a livery stable in
Baker City Wednesday morning, says
the La Grande Chronicle. The coro.
ner's jury returned verdict to the
effect that death was caused by the
self administration of alcoholic poison.
The deceased was an early settler at
Walla Walla, where he has family
of grown children. He has recently
been engaged in prospecting in the
vicinity of Sparta. He leaves wife
who is at present resident of Dayton,

statistios o, tbe nenekab perree.

The following interesting statistics
have been collected from the. annual
address of the president of the Re
bekah branch OF the Oregon Odd Fell
lows, Mrs. Margaret E.. Kellogg:
There have been fifteen new lodges in
stituted and one reinstated during the
past year, making total of fifty-nine
lodges with membership of 3036 in
Oregon. Total membership in the
jurisdiction of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge, 202,649, of which 1857 are
sisters at last report. At the same
rate of increase the Grand Sire as
sumes that there are lis, 900 grand wo-
men united in the fraternal work of
Odd Fellowship, within the jurisdic-
tion of the United States at this time.

Memorial Services.

Yesterday being the last Sunday pre-
ceding Memorial day a sermon appro-
pirate to the occasion was delivered at
the Congregational church last even
ing. The edifice was filled with at
tendants, and seats were reserved for
members of the G. A. r. and w. r. c.,
who attended in large numbers. The
address was one of Mr.. Curtis ablest
efforts, and the song service was very
excellent, the choir, aside from its
usual well-known vocalists, having
some additions of local talent. It is
very becoming that this day should
always be remembered by appropriate
exercises, and when proper celebration
is not given it will be evidence of the
decay Of American patriotism.

A Pioneer.


DIR. o. w. Nixon, editor of the Chi
cago Iate, Ocean, now on visit to the
coast, was a pioneer of the Pacific
northwest. He taught school at Mil
waukie, six miles above Portland on
the willamette, in 1850, and was
>purser on the steamer Lot Whitc0mb,
the first steamboat built on the Column
bia river. She made three trips a
week between Milwaukee and Astoria.
The only stopping places were Port
land and Fort Vancouver.
CAT that time" the doctor said in a
recent interview, "Milwaukie was g.
powerful rival of Portland for suprem-
acy as commercial center. The
streets of Portland were 80 full of
stumps that it took sober man to
drive through them. expect to meet
some of my former pupils, now grow
