Some Musical Porkers.

Wednesday morning Mr.. John Par,
rott shipped hundred head of hogs
on the Regulator, and the loading OF
the same on the boat furnished bar
rel of fun. Ever since the devils en-.
tered into the swine, they have been
encrQaching more and more on the
territory they jumped, until the devil
and the hog are about Identical. After
much tribulation and some mildly ex-
pressed but fervent profanity the drove
was persuaded to go on the wharf,
after each hog became convinced that
that was where he was not wanted to
go, and then the portable fence was
placed around them to keep them from
making break for the hills. When
they discovered that what they had
done was what their owners wanted,
they piled upon each other and set up
an individual and collective wall.
There was hog opera enough there in

volume, and as sharp as hard cider,
led the vocal choir, while Mr.. Parrott
and some two dozen volunteer assist
ants welded the batons, keeping time
fitted to the ear-splitting din, and en-
phasizing each beat by letting the
stick come in contact with the nearest
porker's nose. The swine responsive
to the beating sung, their voices ris-
ing higher and more shrill, until the
peaceful sand dunes of Grand Dalles
sent back the echoes making confusion
worse confounded, that is, a con-
founded sight worse than the original
squealing. One at a time they were
marched on board, but not until the
boat had been detained for nearly half
an hour,

Plenty of Salmon.

The Herrick cannery presents a
busy appearance this morning. The
lower floor where the fish are cleaned
contained 30 tons of salmon this morn
ing, and it was sight indeed to those
who have never been around a can
merry while it was in full operation.
Up stairs everything was moving along
like clock work, and the soldering ma
chine was sending steady stream of
cans down to the boiling vats. Mr..
Herrick is having electric lights put
in today, and the cannery will be kept
going day and night as long as the
salmon come in in quantities to keep
the plant busy. The 30 tons received
this morning came principally from
the fisheries above town. and 20 tons
more are expected in during the day
from the same source, besides those
that are caught in the traps and seines
below. Besides those received at the
cannery ten tons were sent to Port
Land, or to some of the canneries down
the river. There was no spring run,
but the fall run is exceptionally good.
Thirty tons means 1000 cases, so is will
be seen that Mr.. Herrick's expecta-
tions of putting up from 5000 to 70G0
cases this fall will be more than met
With six weeks run. the amount
wilf,. if it continues as at present,
reach 40, 900 cases.

For q New Road.

Messrs. G. J. Gunther, G. W. Barzee
and other citizens of Sherman county
have prepared petition which they
will present to the county commission
ers of that county at the next regular
term thereof, the first of October,
praying for the establishing of a
county road, commencing at the free
bridge across the Deschutes and rum
ming along the north side of Gordon
ridge. The object is to give the set
tiers of that neighborhood an outlet
to The Dalles. The road will have to
be built by private subscription, and
an effort will be made to raise por-
tion of the sum here in the near
future. 1t is claimed that this road
will prove OF mupual benefit to the
farmers of that portion of Sherman
county and the business men of The
Dalles, as it will make this the most
convenient trading point. Those who
circulate the subscription list will be
able to give a more complete idea of
the benefits than we can, as we are un-
acquainted with that section of the
country. At present, the Deschutes
and its tolls prevent trade with The
Dalles, aud that this road will shorten
the distance for the average travel
some five miles. 1t will make the tim
Der of the Cascades available to the
farmers of Sherman, and will send
them this way for their fuel instead of
as at present to Klickitat county.

The case of the State of Washing
ton against Bunnell auds others. is be-
ing tried today at Grand Dalles, before
Justice Rourk, The defendants are
charged with assaulting F. A. Seufert,
with intent to do bodily harm. AS
near as we can learn of the beginning
of the row, it commenced over dis
puted privilege of fishing rights. Mr..
Seufert owns the land fronting on the
river down to the meander line at
high water, owning in both sections
13 and 18. He claims to have procured
license from Fish Commissioner
Crawford, of Washington, and that
the latter told him it did not matter
which section the license specified as
giving him permission to fish, and
made out the license for section 13
instead of section 18. The fishing
grounds in dispute are on section 1S,
and it seems the Bunnell boys got q
license for that, or claimed to have
done SO. The dispute has grown in
bitterness, until as Mr.. Seufert claims,
Tuesday night, while defending his
seine the defendants threw rope
around his neck and tried to drag him
away, that failing in this, one Of them
tried to mash him with an anchor
weighing Is. pounds, Judge Bennett
appears for the prosecution, and Hun
tlngton & Wilson for the defense. The
case will probably occupy the greater
part OF. tomorrow as it's being fought
on both sides for all there is in it.

Il "Reminiscences.

The report of Mrs. Woodfords i'll
ness reminds us that Mr.. and Mrs.
WoodTord were known to the writer in
Nevada 30 years ago, at which time
they kept station on the old emigrant
road between Salt Lake and Placer
| vile, California, at the head of Car
son Valley. Mr.. Woodford was an
active participant, in the stirring
times following the discovery of the
| Cornstock lode, and was a maker of
the history of the pioneer days of
| western Utah, the old station he kept
on the Carson river being still known
as Woodfords. 1t is at present one of
the famous fishing resorts of Nevada
and is known by every lover of the
art piscatorial in that state. Although
but ten years old when we first knew
Mr.. and Mrs. Woodford we were at
that time filling mans position,
being compelled by scarcity of tailors
and lack of boys clothing. in that
country, to wear our fathers pants.
We recollect vividly our first visit to
''Woodford's"' for the winter had
been hard and provisions scarce. Old
Mother Peahen, as the lady was called
who managed the hotel in Genoa
where we put in the winter, was a
kindly old soul with a face like a
cleaver and d claw like a hawk, yet |
she had warm and tender heart |
which our adolescence touched TO such |
an extent that she saved all the dried |
apples of her slender store for pies for |
u.s. The other fellows got beans and |
bread and an occasional greasing OF
their outlets with small piece of |
bacon, but there was pie for us. The |
visit to WoodfOrd'S was @ revelation. |

Labor-Saving Machinery.
Detroit Free Press,

1t is we'll known how ingenious ma.
chinery has we'll nigh revolutionized
the once intrincate work of the car
penter, leaving only the simplest part
of the trade for manual labor. Never
was this innovation of patented devices
more marked than between 1880 and
1890. yet there was 3,547 carpenters
in the United States in the former
year, while there were 140,82I in 1890,
and the average wages of the latter
were 1915, as against $3.50 for those
who had far less machinery to contend
with. Between the same years great
sJrides were made in the inolding and
handling of brick by machinery, yet
the number of workmen doubled while
the number of yards was but slightly
increased, and the wages advanced
from an annual average of 1928 to $500.
In few industries has The saving of
labor by machinery been more marked
than in the manufacture of furniture,
and the cheapening of the product has
been simply amazing; yet the number
of men employed in it Increased from
%, ,304 in 1880 to 92,304 in 1890, wages
advanced from an average of 1853 to
S527. This line of evidence might be
pursued throughout the list of indus
tries where, Tor any considerable time,
machinery has been doing the work of
brains and hands. The conclusion
forced is that the introduction of labor
saving machinery is not TO reduce
permanently the number of employees,
but simply to readjust the working
force and insure higher wages.

The "Grain" of Butter.

When the butter has "come" and
appears in little irregular masses,
from q pins head to large pea in size,
is the time to draw off the buttermilk
and wash the butter in the churn.
This removes most of the buttermilk.
After being then gathered and removed
from the churn, worked, washed and
salted on the butter-worker at the
proper temperature, we find upon
breaking it that it has a granular
look. The mass seems to be made of
little particles with a slightly glisten'
ing appearance. This is called the
"grain." These small particles are
partially kept apart by films of water
latter sailing this water becomes brine)
and the peculiar texture thus impaired
to the butter is test of proper manu-
facture. Over-churn or over-work it,
churn or work it at wrong tempera-
ture, and the grain is gone, never to
be restored, and with it is gone large
percentage of the selling value of butt
ter. Enough water (brine) must be
gathered to produce the appearance
which distinguishes 'butter" from
''grease." Consequently, the most
perfect grain is obtained by washing
it in the churn before the butter is
gathered. DIR. T. Fl. Hoskins.

More Fish Than Men.


The Herrick cannery presents busy
scene this morning, and down on the
lower floor are piled nearly 20 tons OF
fish waiting to be canned for the cpl
cures of the east. Electric lights were
put in yesterday, and the plant was
kept running all night. Fish are COM
ing in at the rate of the 80 tons day,
but as this is more than can be handled
the catch will be smaller from this on.
Mr., Herrick has so far been unable to
procure men, owing to the demands
for labor in the hop fields having
caused most those who understand the
business to seek employment there
during the close fishing season. I'm
less more men can be procured the
amount of fish handled will be reduced
to 10 or II tons per day, as the present
men have been temporarily doing
double time.

unfortunate that the race took this
turn, especially after The Defender
being given the second race on
a foul. Every true sportsman
desired to see the race run and decided
on the merits of the boats: but the
ever-present New York hog interfered
to prevent it. Should there be any
more International races they will not

A GREAT BATTLE FOUGHT.
1t Occurred Near Camaguay and Lasted
Two Days.


Two Days.
KEY WEST, Sept. 12.-Advice from
Cuba via the steamer Mascotte says
that great battle has been fought
near Camaguay between the insurgents
under Maxine Gomez, and the Span
iards under General Mallo. The bat
tie lasted IS hours, and the Span
iards were repulsed with heavy loss.
1t is reported that 200 Spaniards were
killed and wounded. When the news
reached Havana it caused great excite.
ment at the place.
Rolotf and his band have been busy
during the past week, having blown
up troop train near Santiago de Cuba
and a bridge near Sagua. Spaniards
admit the train was blown up, but
claim only five men were killed.
Aivices received, however, state that
nearly 100 soldiers were killed.
The harbor of Havana is almost de-
serted. Not ship, save Spanish,
was there when the Mascotte left.
