Free Road to Prinevil1e.

Mr.. w. II. Cook, of Tygh Valley is in
the city, circulating petition for a free
road to Prineville. Two tolls now exist
1t necessitates about nineteen miles of
new road, commencing at point three
miles this side of the Deschutes river,
connecting the two county roads. The
expense is estimated at between 81, 600
and So 600. Wasco and Crook counties
will be asked to assist in the work, and
private subscriptions will be taken. Mr..
Geo. johnson of Dufur assured him that
Dufur would contribute $500. Mr..
Cook informs us that Eugene is reach
ing out after the Prineville trade and
already has road over which lighter
trains may travel. He says The Dalles
will lose great share of the Prineville
trade. unless the efforts now being made
to open the new road meet with success.
Last year Crook county paid $S, 800 in
tolls. The.list has been started with q
subscription OF $50 from Crook county
men. Mr.. 6. w. Barnes purposes to
stump the county in the near future,
working up sentiment for the road
A citizen of The Dalles has also prom.
ised Mr.. Cook $50.
The proposed road will reopen the
long since dIsused Moppin's route, and
there are only about five miles of new
road to make, about three miles O.
which requires grading. The new route
will be about ten miles shorter than the
/ old one.

AN AFTERNOON RUNAWAY. 1
Otto Birgfeld's Horse browns, BuA
y N Himself escapes.


PARTIES along Union and First streets
we're horrified about O'Clock this after
moon to see Otto Birgfeld caught be-
tween the side of his wagon and the
brake, while the horse attached was
madly racing directly down the street to
the Columbia river. A serious accident
seemed inevitable, hutsMr. Girgteld sue
ceeded in extricating himself from his
perilous position when about 100 feet
from the plunge, The horse made a
turn to the left and ran to the mouth of
Mill creek, leapIng into the water. The
wagon following pulled the horse down,
its head under the surface and feet up.
It paved the water for minute or two,
but its struggles gradually became
weaker and finally disappeared beneath
the surface.
Mr.. Birgfeld fortunately did not re-
ceive any severe injuries. He pried
himself out from his position and
dropped to the ground, while the horse
was at full speed, but fortunately fell in
the dust. His clothes were badly torn,
which was about the extent of his mis-
fortune in a personal way.
Graphing hooks were used to recover
The dead horse and wagon attached. n

Forecast - Showers tonight and to:

Some interesting developments re-
garding the situation at the locks are
looked for. A rumor today is going the
rounds which is not given publication
because of lack of confirmation.

A very interesting contest will take
place at the bowling alley Thursday and
Friday nights. It is between the single
and married men-a series of four games,
two each night. The game commences
at $3.50 sharp. There will be ample in
centive to spur both sides to do their
best, and spirited contest is assured. =
The largest run of salmon so far this
season was on Monday. Every fisher
man had plenty of fish to sell and sew
eral wogonloads were delivered to The
Dalles Commission Co. Since yesterday
morning the catch has been light. If
the strike at Astoria continues for an
other month it is thought there will be
as large catch as that of two years ago
at least.
County Commissioner J. F.sSweeny
of Skamania county was in the city
Monday, consulting with Judge Miller

boiler some months ago, for which he
was to receive $50. Half was paid down.

Taffe claims the boiler was no good and
refused to pay the $25, while Donovan
claims there was no understanding as tC

the money is consequently payable

Barrels Better Than Boxes.

In the "note and comment" column
in the Portland Oregonian writer re-
fers to the fact that it has been the cus-l
tom in Oregon to ship apples to market
in boxes instead of barrels. In the
Eastern states the packages universally
used and approved is the barrel of a
given standard dimension, holding
about three bushels of fresh fruit. 1t is
claimed that Oregon apples shipped in
50-pound boxes are handicapped to a
considerable extent by reason of the
package not being uniform with those
received in the same markets from
other places. It might be greatly to
the advantage of apple-shippers to use
barrels instead of boxes. Several ele-
ments enter into the problem, chief
among which are, of course, cost and
adaptability of the barrel as q fruit
package, compared with the box ordina-
rily used on this coast for that purpose.
1t is charged for the barrel package
also that the contents are thus liable to
injury. Then, again, we are told that
all apples reaching the Eastern market
in boxes are rated below No. l, and can
not be sold at the highest prices, nc
matter what their condition. It is
claimed to be rule of the trade that all
apples rated as No. must be in barrels
The cause of the difference in custom
probably lies in the fact that the Oregon
fir makes up more readily into boxes
than into the barrels made out of more
fihroua woods in the Fast

to the grand palayer. Sir Francis Scott
and his staff We're seated in a semi

an officer was sent to the palace with in
stfuctions to press upon the mind of
KING Pfempeh that if he did not APP
pear before the British commander
within five minutes after his summons,
ne would be taken from his palace by
force. The king made a show of re-
sistance, but finally accompanied the
ottieer, surrounded by an escort, to the
square. Arriving there the king took
MS seat upon the stool of state. After
Few formal words had passed between
the king and Sir Francis through the
interpreters, the king descended from
his stool and shook hands with the
British commander The latter was
then introduced to the British governor
who stated the negotiations which have
been conducted between the representa-

by informing the king that he must for
mally submit to Great Britain and give
up Immediately 10000 ounces OF gold as
an indemnity for the expenses incurred
by the British government in sending

he would be held responsible for any /
