comfort of guests. Mr.. Toomey has in
contemplation several other extensive
improvements which will be made so
soon as time will allow. The dining
room Is under the personal supervision
of Mrs. Toomey who is winning quite
reputation for her ladylike reception of
guests and the taste and elegance dis
played in catering to their wants at
the table. The bar is presided over
during the day by Mr.. David King and

is always to serve friends and patrons
with only the best of refreshments.
A large and tastily constructed ice

stock of the choicest wines, liquors and
cigars which will soon arrive. Suc-
less to the gentleman.

Too much cannot be said in praise of
the citizens of The Dalles for the socia-
bllity and kindness shown their
country cousins during the celebration
OF the opening of the locks.
With such an immense crowd of peo-
pie, one would naturally suppose all
could not be properly entertained, but
If there were any visitors who were
not properly cared for and who did not
thoroughly enjoy themselves, it was
certainly their own fault, and no fault
of those who had the management of
the celebration in charge. I was so
pleased with the celebration that re-
gret there is not another opening to
celebrate soon.
1 hope we may ere long have an op-
portunity to join the people of the
upper country in celebrating the OPEN
ing of the Cello portage or something
better, in which The Dalles will take
a prominent part. M. B. ZUMwALT.

CRAZED BY POLITICS.
A Man Murders His Son-in-Law Because
He Was a Populist

| "A aan muruerS his SOn-ln-LaW Because
He Was q Populist.
Word comes from Randolph, Coos
county, of the killing of Andrew Carl
son by his father-in-law, Joseph N
Russell. The crime was committed
last Sundays and grew out of an election
feud. Russell was q republican, and
claimed that his son-in-law was an
anarchist. This was one of the rea-
sons he gave for the killing.
Carlson was q widower, and he and
his four children were stopping with
their grandparents. He had returned
from town with supply of provisions
on the fatal day, and just prior to the
shooting had carried an armfull of
wood into the house and had seated
himself by one of his daughters. A
moment after Carlson sat down the
report of a rifle in an adjoining room
was heard, and Carlson tumbled off
his chair to the floor. At the sound
made by the gun, Mrs. Russell ran
into the house and found her son-in-
law prostrare and his brains spattered
all over the floor. The face of one of
her granddapghters was bleeding from
the bullet that had killed her father
and grazed her face.
Mrs. Russell next entered the bed
room. where she found her husband
with smoking rifle in his hands,
which he gave up.
Russell evidently stood on the bed
when he fired. The edges of the |
boards on each side of the crack |
through which he fired show powder
marks.
The bullet took effect behind and
.bove Carlson's left ear, passed through
he head and came out below the right
ye, producing instant death.
Russell made no attempt to escape,
nd yielded to arrest without protest,
aging to the officers that he did good
eed for his country, and was willing
D be hanged right off for it.
He was given preliminary exami-
alton and was committed to Jail to
wait the action of the grand jury.
.ussell appeared as clear-headed as
ny one at the trial, though some
aim he is demented. He is man
bout 65 years old, and has resided on
le Coquille river for a number of
,ars.

Will the People of This City Aid in the
Development of Coal Mines?

Developement of Coal Mines?
Editor TINES -MouNrAINEER:
l saw in your issue of the 11th an
article on the subject Of coal, and the
probability of there being large depos-
its of that material lying under and
around The Dalles. The only fault 1
have to find with your article is that
you did not say enough.
Doubtless majority of the men in
this city are not aware of the splendid
sandstone and conglomorate coal
measures lying fiat and extending for
miles to the south and west from the
Catholic cemetery, undisturbed by
any volcanic eruptions. These coal
measures are exactly the same as those
covering the splendid bituminous coal
mines on Vancouver Island, known as
the Wellington and Nanimo mines.
Those mines furnish more than one
third the coal consumed on the Pacific
coast, and employ thousands of men.
The people of this city are aware
that fiYe of our townsmen have been at
work several years prospecting on
ChenSweth creek, ABOUT four miles |
from The Dalles, and have expended
thousands of dollars drilling down |
through these measures with steel |
drill in search of coal. By hard work |
and perseverance, they have got down
a considerable depth, but on account
of the fine grain and hard nature of the
rock they have encountered the past
year, they made very slow progress,
only an average of about one inch a
day for the last three months. This is
altogether too slow, and the fact has
been demonstrated that it is useless to
try to go deeper without diamond
drill.
A diamond drill will cost about $1,000.
Now these men propose to ask the peo-
pie OF The Dalles to subscribe $500 of
this amount. They stand ready to
furnish the balance, and will drill
down to depth that will demonstrate
or not there is coal vein in
his vicinity. None of us can say
'hese men are asking for anything un-
This is a matter that should engage
he earnest and early attention of all.
The people of this city certainly haYe
he means, energy and enterprise to
urnish this small amount, knowing
Is they all do that if coal is found it
will be crownine glory for The y
)alles, and insure its prosperity for d
he next hundred years. Think of
rains coming in from the mines IL
dozen times day, and a o.
alf dozen schooners and steam
rs lying at wharves back of the Y
Imatilla House loading coal for all 9'
arts of the world, while there would
g from 800 to 1000 men working in the G
lines. ol
There is no excuse for allowing this
latter to lag. Within few hours y"
le other day, $500 were raised to oi
elebrate the opening of the Cascade
'cks, and there is no reason why such NJ
beral and enterprising people as we d
ave should not assist this coal enter

SHERMAN COUNTY SPEAKS.
The People Express Their Appreciation of
What The Dalles Has Done for an
Open River.

Open River.
At a mass meeting of the citizens o
Sherman county, held at Wasco Nov
9, 1896, for the purpose of giving proper
expression of their feelings relative to
the final completion and opening o.
the Cascade locks, County Judge John
Fulton was chosen chairman and V.
G. Brock, secretary.
On motion committee of nine were
appointed to draft resolutions, and
they reported the following which were
unanimously adopted, towit:
Whereas, the opening of the locks at
cascades of the Columbia will be of
immeasurable benefit to the residents
of Eastern Oregon, and particularly of
Sherman county, and the same has
been greatly hastened by the earnest
and untiring efforts of the citizens of
The Dalles, who on the occasion of the
said opening extended such generous
hospitality to our people; therefore
be it
Resolved, That the long felt need of
connecting the lower with the middle
Columbia has at last been met, and
that it will stimulate business, encour-
age immigration and greatly conduce
to the prosperity of our country
That we recognized the invaluable
aid that has ever been given by the
progressive and enterprising citizens
of The Dalles, who have ever been
foremost in pushing this great work
forward to comp pletion. Their private
expressions and their public press
have increasingly kindled the fire of
energy in patriotic hearts who have
labored zealously to free the Inland
Empire from corporations grasp by
giving US an open river to the sea; and
we hereby extend to the citizens of
The Dalles our heartfelt thanks for
their earnest labors in our behalf; and
shall ever remember their courteous
treatment at the celebration of the
opening of the locks, and the enter
tainment at The Dalles NoY. 5. Let
US now put forth our united efforts,
with renewed courage, to overcome
the distractions above The Dalles, by
connecting the middle with the upper |
river and thus extending commerce
three hundred miles further into the |
fertile regions of Eastern Washington |
and Oregon.
