Perished With the Cayuse.

We were told by Portland exchanges
a few days ago, that the Stark street
ferry had stopped running, and that in
all probability it would never &c
again, and now comes the further in.
formation that the old Holiday horse
car that for some time has made two
trips day the length of First street
has ceased from troubling, and the an
tiquated mule that furnished the mo-
tive power has been turned out to
rest, or sent down to the Linnton
slaughter house, to be turned into
cayuse beef. One by one the old land
marks pass away to make room for the
new order of things. and it will be
only short time until electric cars
are in operation on First street. Joe
Holiday with his blue coat, aboriginal
umbrella and big brass buttons,
missed the opportunity of his life, in
not attaching a pullman to his cars
in earlier days and regrets over that
neglect was what gave the old man his
sullen, morose and melancholy appear
ance for the last ten years.

Sinnott & Sinnott,

There was new sign on the Office
door at the head of the stairs in the
Schanno building Thursday morning.
A sign that marks the actual entering
into the honorable profession of the
law OF two young men, brothers, and
native sons not only of Oregon, but of
The Dalles. The sign bears the legend
"Sinnott & Sinnott" and the members
of the firm are Nick and Roger, sons
of Col. Sinnott, mine host of the UNA
tilla House. 1t is worthy of more than
passing notice, the entrance of our
boys into their chosen life pursuits,
and it awakens in an entire commu-
nifty an ardent hope for the welfare and
prosperity of all such. Here, the boys
attended the public schools, and hav-
ing mastered the grades there, gradu-
ated at the Academy. From here both
went to Notre Dame College, Indiana,
graduating from that celebrated insti-
tuition with high honors. Nick took
the classical course and earned the
degree of B. A.; while Roger took the
law course graduating with. the degree
of L. L. B., following this by being
admitted to practice in the supreme
court of Indiana. Nick returned to
The Dalles and began the study of the
law under the direction of Hon. A. S.
Bennett, one of the brightest lights of
the Oregon bar. In due course of time
he was admitted to practice by the
supreme court of this state, sitting at
Pendleton, and since that time, few
months only, he has been taking
rest before taking up his profession.
We predict for the new firm bright
career, for they bring to their work
clear, logical, analytical minds, backed
by strong, vigorous, physical bodies.
The TIMEs-MoUNTANEER wishes
them all manner of prosperity and
predicts for them, and each of them, a
future that will be an honor to their
relatives, pleasure to their friends
and credit to their native town and

subsequent special work was made a
Master OF Arts. He left Maine and
came to Oregon in 1891, and for one
and one-half years was proprietor of
and editor of the Pendleton Tribune.
His course during incumbency OF the
editorial chair was in keeping with
the character of a man of positive con-
victions and unfaltering loyalty to his
party, the Republican, and yet at all
times he was fair and charitable. On
September 1st three years ago, Messrs.
T. G. HALEY and S. A. Lowell formed
a co-partnership in the law, and about
three months ago Marion A. Butler
was taken into the firm. Messrs.
HALEY e. Butler will continue the
business, but will regretfully erase the
name of S. A. Lowell from the firms

Tilford A. Moore, Dead.

Tilford Moore was found dead on
his ranch near Burns in the Stein
Mountain Country some days ago &C
cording to dispatch from Burns, in
today's Oregonian. Mr.. Moore was
about 80 years old a veteran of the
Mexican war and an Oregon pioneer.
He settled in this country in 1850, and
owned the property now held by Kerr
& Buckley. Mr.. Moore was the prin-
cipal witness in the case of the United
States against Shepardson tried 25
years ago. The case will be remem-
bered by all old timers. A man
named Tompkins had been sent to the
penitentiary for robbing the mails,
but it developed afterwards that he
was innocent and that Shepardson
was the guilty man. Moore had seen
Shepardson riding very fine cream
colored horse the morning
before the robbery, near the
scene thereof, and this horse was what
established Shepardson's connection
with the crime.

An Attractive show-windew.

G. F. Stephens has show-window
that isattracting lots of attention to-
day, and it contains nothing but Ore
gon products within. Yesterday
evening he placed therein a family of
ten prairie chickens. At first they
were very shy, fluttering to the ends of
the window, and beating against the
glass when any one stopped to look at
them. Today though they seem quite
tame, approaching the window where
persons are standing and seemingly
oblivious of them. They are very
pretty, and seeing them so close it
really seems heartless to even think
of killing them.

Why Crook County Cattle Increased

why Crook County Cattle Increased
The cause of the increase in num-
ber of stock in Crook county during
the past year might be briefly summed
up as follows: The increase in cattle
has been 5000 head, or about the num-
ber of emigrant cattle driven into the
county, principally yearlings from
the Willamette valley. The past year
has been grass year, consequently
the increase in calves branded during
the year has about equaled the num-
ber of cattle marketed. Sheep have
increased $4,000 for the reason OF light
winters, followed by large increase in
lambs, together with the fact of low
prices for mutton, SO much so that dry
ewes were unmarketable. The re-
markable increase in hogs is the direct
result of two good crop years in sue
cession, creating comparative surplus
of grain: the hogs were raised as a
remedy for the grain surplus. Horses
are about equal in number to the for
mer two years, caused by marketing
large numbers and little attention
paid to the breeding of them.-Prine-
lie Review.

SEWELL-WILLIAMS.
The Marriage Took Place at Portland
Wednesday.

The Marriage Took Place at Portland
Wednesday.
Wednesday evening at the residence
of the brides mother in, Portland,
Miss MAZE E. Williams, one of The
Dalles brightest and most beautiful
girls, was married to Mr.. Russell E.
Sewell, deputy city attorney of Port
land. The presents were numerous
and beautiful, and after the ceremony,
which took place at $50, refreshments
were served, and the young couple
took the train for the Sound where
they will remain for a couple of weeks.
The groom is stranger to most of
The Dalles people, but the bride grew
to womanhood here, and was univer-
sal favorite. If the wishes of this
community are realized, Mr.. and Mrs.
Sewell will find their path through life
strewn with roses and their skies
cloudless as summer day.

Like Likes Like.

Mr.. T. H. Bartlett, who is great
stickler for English as she should be-
for the second time takes the Orego-
nian to task for using the word s'like"
as conjunction. In communication
to that paper today he expresses his
dislike for like. Mr.. Bartlett says
since his first rebuke, he has watched
vigilantly, and up to this time has not
seen any lapse into "like" in that
paper. He commends this course, and
adds that sit may be we'll to avoid the
more glaring errors of our mother
tongue" With all due Difference to
Mr.. Bartlett'ssability as peruser of
grammars, we would suggest that if
"our mother tongue" contains" errors"
they are not "errors," because they
are part of our 'mother tongue" 1t
looks "like" it, anyway.

DO YOUR PART
And Make the Coming Fair a Grand Sue

And Make the Coming Fair Grand sue
Next Tuesday the district fair to be
held here will begin. A large number
of fine horses will be here for the
races, and $1,000 will be paid out in
purses. For agricultural and other
exhibits $500 in premiums will be
paid. The Vogt opera house has been
secured for the pavilion exhibits,
which will prove great convenience,
and entries of exhibits can be made
there up to noon Tuesday. Entries
for stock will be open at the fair
grounds until the same hour, noon
Tuesday, and it is expected the exhib-
it's in all branches will be unusually
large, and more than usually good.
We cannot urge upon all the necessity
of patronizing the fair, too strongly.
Patronize it by taking your products,
patronize it by attending it. Stir up
your local pride and make the fair a
success because it is held here. A
good exhibit is an advertisement for
the country that is of immeasureable
benefit. We need population-thrifty,
energetic producers. Men to till the
soil, to make the hillsides yield up
countless treasure in fruit, to send the
stream of yellow grain to the west.
and the golden fleece of yet other
thousands of sheep to the factories of
the east. Men to build up the country
to make productive the vast areas now
idle, to build churches and school
houses; to ligh9en our taxes, improve
our roads, enjoy the lavish gifts which
Nature has bestowed upon this favored
section and swell the tide of prosper
ity. The way to get them is to show
them what the country is capable of.
Show them your stock, your grain,
your fruit; and above all, show them |
that you are a wide-awake hustling
people up with the times, and alive to
your best interests. Begin the good |
work Tuesday and keep it up, not only |
through the week but until our re-
sources become known to the world.

Merit VIII Win.

The Wasco Observer yesterday
says: "We learn that there are OBJ
jections in Sherman county among
meat stockmen entering The Dalles
fair for prizes, chiefly because there is
an alleged industrial enterprise, or
combination down there, resolved
upon retaining all honors amongst
themselves.
If such feeling exists it certainly
does 80 without any reason therefor.
There are certainly no combinations
here and none have been thought of.
We advise our neighbors TO bring
their stock down, for they will get a
square deal, and if they do not get
first prizes it will be because, some
one else has better stock.

Agent Lytle requests US to call the
attention of parents to the fact that
boys innumerable are in the habit of
playing in the yards near the depot
jumping on moving freight trains, and
in many ways taking serious risk to
life and limbs. Every effort has been
made by employees to prevent this, but
it seems to be impossible. Mr.. Lytle
requests parents to examine into this
matter, and lend their assistance in
preventing. what must, if the practice
is continued, be serious accident. Hit

Armenian Outbreak.

| CoNSTANTINOPLE Oct. "A third
slight earthquake shock was exper.
fenced here yesterday with rioting
and bloodshed. The Imprisonment OF
about 500 Armenians, the killing of the
prisoners in cold blood and the pres
ence of troops under arms at all points
excites even the most phlegmatic Turk.
The rioting and blood-letting which
began Monday, was renewed Tuesday,
principally by Mohammedan theolog
ical students, who chased and beat
with bludgeons every Armenian they
met.
Tuesday night mob of Softas and
Turks attacked the house of leading
Armenian, Kassin Pasha, killing sew
eral persons. This mob also sacked
cafe frequented by Armenians, and 20
of those unfortunate people were beaten
to death with bludgeons. Not single
policeman appeared, and no attempt
was made to save the lives of the Ar
menians. Naturally the Armenians
put no fait hin the assurance OF pro-
lection from further violence at the
hands of the Turkish mobs. Many
sought refuge in the churches, where
they were earnestly addressed by the
clergy, who enjoined them to be calm
and give the Turks no further pretexts
for attacking them.
The Armenian churches are now
watched by the police, but the greatest
uneasiness prevails and most of the
other religious denominations express
fear that the fanaticism of the Turks
may extend in other directions. The
Armenians have the sympathy of the
foreigners here, but the fact that they
are armed in spite of their pacific an
nouncements, is condemned by their
best friends and lends color to the
statements of Turkish officials, who
claim that Armenian agitators organ
lied a revolt against the sultan's au-
thority, and that the attempt to pre-
sent a petition to the grand vizier
Monday last, which led to the first
rioting and bloodshed, was mere
pretext to serve as signal for an Ar
menian outbreak.
