lady went to the cemetery and noticed
that some carnations, which had been

ed the cemetery and the flowers were
gone. It can hardly be possible thai
anyone would deliberately steal from the
dead, but this instance is only one OF G
number of complaints. Such acts Of
vandalism deserve punishment, and il
is to be hoped if the theiving continues
some offender may be caught in the act

sounded strange TO hear the tones of an
other steamboat whistle upon the river,
but it is only forerunner of what will
be when the locks are open.
The number of excursionists on the
Regulator yesterday was not SO great as
the inducements offered were expected
to attract yet the crowd was fairly
large one. The day was perfect and thu
temperature was just cool enough to be
bracing. The ride and the music were
greatly enjoyed by the excursionists and
the hours at the Cascades pleasantly
spent looking over the government
works and noting the progress that had
been made. The steamer returned at
$3.50. The Orchestra Union has given
several of these excursions during the
summer and their efforts to enable the
people to see the locks under pleasant
circumstances and at low fare are
much appreciated.

The Elks in New Pastures.

The EIks captured The Dalles Saturday.
The steamer Sadie with the Cascade
delegation on board, arrived at 6 80 and
was met at the dock by the members of
The Dalles lodge with the band, and
large crowd of spectators. When the
trim little craft was moored to the dock,
and the passengers reached the shore,
double file procession was formed and
with the band in the lead, the long line
marched up the street, stopping in front
of the Umatllla House, where several
selections we're played.
At p. m. the meeting began in Fra
ternity hall, at which seven candidates
Joined the order. Beside the delegation
present from Cascades there was quite
number of visitors from Portland and
some from other places. AS the business
before the lodge proved very important
it was late hour when the gavel de-
clared the business session closed and
the banquet announced as the next
thing of interest on the program. From
one end to the other in the long UNA
tilla House dining room a table bad
been spread, loaded with all manner of
good things. Fifty-four Elks were in
attendance at the banquet and the affair
proved the finest of its kind ever given
in The Dalles. The management of the
| banquet as we'll as the details of the
other proceedings had been placed in the
! hands of Mr.. j. S. Fish and the actions
and words of those he entertained
showed how well the trust was dis
charged. The orchestra was stationed in
one corner of the dining hall and, during
the banqueting and between the
speeches discoursed sweet music to the
great enjoyment of those WHO were
present. Some bright speeches were
made by different guests. Mr.. John
Michel delivered an appropriate ad-
dress of welcome. Clever responses to
calls were made by Congressman Ellis,
Circuit Judge Bradshaw, Mr.. 1. N. Day
and others. The speeches were all
appreciated by the listeners. At q
seasonable hour the banquet came to an
end and the guests departed full of
kindly feeling towards the Elks of The
Dalles for the hospitable treatment they
had received.
The Portland delegation returned
home on the morning train while the
Sadie B with the Cascade members
aboard started at 9 o'clock. AS she
passed down the river she was greeted
with the footing of whistles from the
stationary engine and the different
locomotives at the company shops.
The new steamer Sadie B attracted
much attention during her short stay in
The Dalles. She is a trim little craft,
having Accommodations for quite num-
Der of passengers. The engines are the
ones formerly in the steamer Cyclone,
and drive the steamer at high rate of
speed. The run from the Cascades to
i The Dalles was made with an average of
fourteen miles an hour, though the en-
gines were not worked at full speed.
The Sadie B. will be used in towing the
Earges loaded with stone, ,and the dredger
at the locks, though ultimately she may
do passenger buslness an the r1var II

The Abundance Plum.

InG Abundance Plum.
Along with one or two other Vari-
cites this plum should be extensively
planted in the South, for it seems es-
pecIally adapted to our climate. 1t
can not be recommended too highly,
The trees commence to fruit early,
bearing an immense quantity Of large
luscious plums that are as salable as
pears, peaches or figs in any market.
This abundance" Cor Botan
plum is from Japan, and has been
grown in the South long enough to
demonstrate its value. 1t succeeds
everywhere under proper treatment.
The flesh Of the abundance is yellow,
with an amber or cherry-colored
skin. 1t is very large, varying lit
tie in shape from nearly round to
pointed. Fifteen to eighteen of the
plums fill a quart measure. 1t be-
gins to ripen the first of June. At
three years old it bears freely, when
planted on proper soil and looked
after. 1t Is good keeper and on
excellent kind for canning or pre-
serving.
The abundance plum can be had
from various nurserymen, north and
south, either on peach or plum stock
Northern nurserymen commend the
peach stock, but in the South, the
plum stock is preferable, and the
Mariana stock is as good, if not bet
ter than any. One year old trees
can be had at from $3.50 to $3.50
per dozen, $40 to $15 per hundred
and 2-year old trees forty to fifty
cents higher. The trees should be
set eighteen feet apart each way
This would allow Of 1874 trees to the
acre, and they should be set out il
| November or December.
While the Abundance, we believe
is the best of the oriental plums fo1
the South, and should be planted
more extensively than the Others
still there are several varieties of thi
type that are well worthy Of extend
ed trial by all fruit growers. Tho

OF the Chickasaw type the "Wilo

Torrents Land little System.

a dennlte test is to be given
the Torrents land title system in
Cook County, Illinois, the voters
OF the county having overwhels
mingly declared for trial of this
system last week in accordance
with a recent act OF the Legisla~
tureo This system is in use in
Manitoba and is an Australian
law, and it has been found not
only to prove satisfactory where
ever tried but to be cheap and to
facilitate the sale and transfer Of
real property. Once the title is
established under this system 1t
is fixed beyond question as to all
subsequent purchasers OF the
land, and there is no long search
for prior transfers OF the land, no
payment of large costs to abstract
companies, no worry about reg
istration, but the property 10
sold and the title passes with all
most the simplicity attending
the purchase of "a spool of thread
For a number of years efforts
have been made to introduce
this system in many of the states
