A NEW wRECKER.
Its Building Was Stopped When the
Pacific Bank Failed.

Pacific BANK talleQ.
In few weeks the new wrecking steamer
owned by T. II. P. Whitelaw will be ready
for launching. For the past two years
passengers on the narrow-gauge trains
have seen the strong ribs of q steamer on
the ways at the Alameda Point yards and
have wondered what caused the delay
in finishing the vessel. Work was sus-
pended because the failure of the Pacific
Bank, in which concern Mr.. Whitelaw was
unfortunate enough to have invested.
Work was recon- menced few days ago,
and a thorough examination OF the hull
shows that it has suffered nothing from
the exposure. The carpenters assert that
the long seasoning has improved the tim
Der and that the vessel will be all the
tighter and stronger for it.
The vessel will be the strongest built ana
most powerful vessel of the kind ever con-
structed on this coast. The ribs are laid
almost close together, and the lining in
side as well as the sheathing outside the
planking viii be watertight, making her
practically unsuitable, even although the
outer planking and ribs should be pierced.
The new wrecker is being fitted inside like
a small foundry, and what with large coal
bunkers, coal-saving furnaces ana boilers
and improved engines. it is expected that
she will be able to steam to and from any
point in the Pacific without the necessity
of recoaling.
Not Making Snaps
Street Superintendent Miller introduced
a resolution before the Finance Committee
asking for authority to employ foremen Of
sewer work at 81 per dav. The committee
laughed at the proposition. Councilman
auckland said ~ think the Superin-
tendent of Streets has plenty of spare time
on his hands to do that work himself.
Heretofore it has been the duty OF the dep
MY TO look after the construction of sew
ers." And the resolution was tabled.
The Exposition.
Friday night a special committee from
the Exposition management will visit the
ladies of the Ebell Society, to arrange
about the art exhibit. The contract has
been let for an annex s6x100 feet, on the
Twelfth-street side of the Tabernacle.
Most of the space is already applied Tor,
and the committee is confident that every
thing will be ready for the opening On
December 16.
Help for the Library.
The Finance Committee of the City Coun-
Gil has already commenced to pave the
way for deficit at the end OF the flscal
year. The dollar tax limit provides GER
tain amount of money for each fund, ana
any excess must necessarily represent that
much deficit. Last night the committee
voted to appropriate an additional $l5O0
for the Free Library fund.
Found Dead in Bed.
Felix Dumet Frenchman, 50 years OF
age. died suddenly last night at South
Berkeley. Dumet retired in his usual good

Honor to Whom Honor is Due

The Portland Sun. of Monday, says:
''The bloomer is keeping pace with the
bicycle craze. 1t made its appearance
in The Dalles the other evening-frst
modestly in the back streets and then
boldly in the business district. The
TIMES-M man goes into
ecstacy over the innovation. Says he:
The bloomer is bifurcated dream in
art! An iambic poem in dress goods!
A symphony in tout ensemble! An
embodied perfume! A distracting
combination! A style chaste as Diana!
Beautiful as Hebe! Fit garment for
the Dryads, or for the vestals, and it
goes with leggings. too. The blooms
of the orchards are sweet and the
bloom of the rose delight, but bloom
as they may the new style is far
bloomer.' just wait till that Dalles
editor sees a bloomer girl and her
overturned machine hauled out OF an
Oregon mudpuddle and he will change
his mind"
Our esteemed contemporary is mis-
taken in the credit he gives to this
paper in the above excerpt. Bro.
Cradlebaugh is the author of the very
clever and witty apostrophe to the
bloomer, and has so been credited by
different papers in the state.

WEATHER REPORT.
In Eastern Oregon For the Week Ending

In Eastern Oregon For the Week Ending
May Is, 1895.
WEATHER occurred on the
7th and Sth, when it cleared and gen.
eral frosts occurred on 9th and 10th,
being heavy and ice forming south of
the Blue mountains. Since the 10th
the weather has been clear and warm,
the maximum reaching its highest on
Sunday 18th, when it was from 80 to
80 degrees. The maximum for the
week ranged from 4S to 80 and the
minimum from 40 to 80, except south
of the Blue mountains, where the
minimum ranged from 2o to 4S degrees.
The rainfall amounted to from .04 to
.25 of an inch.
CRoPs-The frost did little or no
damage, and where the frost was the
most severe the vegetation was not
sufficiently far advanced to be injured.
In other sections the frost was too
light to do injury. The warm weather
following on the. 10th and since con-
tinuing mas caused vegetation to grow
rapidly. Straw berries are ripe about
The Dalles; the first box of Oregon
grown for 1895 was shipped from The
Dalles on May 9th. They are now be-
coming more plentiful, and within a
week will ripen in large quantities.
The fruit prospects continue very
promising. The present condition of
the grain crop is excellent. Much
more rain. or rather frequent showers,
will be necessary to large yield.
though the absence of hot winds will
be materially beneficial. Sheep shear
ing continues. The wool is being

Police Business.

The recorders court had consid-
cradle business this morning. In con-
sequence a fine was booked against
one person, one left town and another
will be an occupant of the city Jail for
some days. There were three arrests
made last night, two for being drunk
and disorderiy and the other for dis
turbing the peace. The first was dis
charged on condition that he would
leave the city, the next was fined SO,
and the last was fined 800, in fault of
payment of which he was sentenced to
the city Jail for Is days. 1t is not
usual for the recorder to have such a
full docket, except after the celebra-
tion of some important event, and he
believes business is looking up.

A Suggestion to the State Pioneer Associ-
alton by John Mimic.

alton by John Mimic.
John Mimic in the Salem Statesman
says:
You gave notice to my recent hasty
ride in Polk county. Permit me space
to say that in addition to seeing some
of the most beautiful country the eye
ever looked upon, generally we'll culti-
waited where culture is essayed, took
a brief half hour to visit the resting
place of the body of the late James W..
Nesmith, eminent as pioneer and
patriotic citizen. The place was of
his own selection, on the south bank
of the La Creole river, in the shade of
fir grove. 1t is a beautiful spot,
within the domain he received as a re-
ward for his pioneering. A beautiful
shaft of polished granite rises from the
unpublished block of the same enduring
material, wisely chosen for fit mem
orial stone for the character of the
man whose memory it intends to- pre-
serve. The lettering reads:
James Willet Nesmith.
A pioneer of 1S43.
Judge under the provisional govern
ment in 1845.
United States marshal 1S53-55.
Colonel of volunteers in 1855.
Superintendent Indian affairs '57-59.
United States senator 1S61-61.
Representative in congress 1870.
Born July "A, 1920.
Died June II, 1855.
An upright judge.
A brave soldier.
A wise legislator.
An honest man.
Here is a record for posterity to be
proud of, the best of which lies in its
absolute truth. The country he helped
to name and the state he helped to
found, and to which he gave his SER
vice, alike have reason for pride in his
life and character.
The state of Oregon has done itself
credit by placing upon the halls of its
capitol likenesses of its governors and
the friend of the early pioneer. 1t can
we'll afford to go a step further and
place within its halls the portraits of
at least three of it's earliest pioneers
Peter II. Burnett, Jesse Applegate
and J w Nesmith. l submit this last
suggestion for the pioneers at their ap-
preaching meeting
