Returne.. From Hawaii.

Mr.. and Mrs. r. J. Wilson, who for
several years past have been residing
at Hilo. Hawaii, returned last Satur-
day to The Dalles. and will most likely
again become permanent residents OF
Wasco county. Mr.. Wilson states
that Hawaii has some attractions in the
way of climate and opportunities for
making money, but as a place of resi-
dence it is not altogether desirable.
Society there is very much mixed.
japanese and natives predominating
among the general populace, while
the business interests are in Lhe hands
of Americans and English. The form
of government, Mr.. Wilson says, is
not stable, and he anticipates that an
any time. AS to annexation, Mr.. Will
son thinks it would be folly on the
part of the United States to take charge
of the Sandwich Islands, as the pop
ulace is an unstable class of people, in
capable of self government. and not
suited to become citizens Of a republi-
can form of government. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson left Hilo last October,
and have been in San Francisco since
their arrival in the United States. If
Mrs. Wilson's health will permit they
will remain here, if not they will re-
turn to the islands.

Northwest Immigration Board.

The business men of Portland are to
the front with movement that cannot
but be to the benefit and prosperity OF
Oregon.
For the past four or five years the
organization known as the Oregon
immigration board has been practi-
cally dead, largely on account of lack
ing funds to further its purposes. This
failure to advertise the desirability of
this state as place of residence has
been felt by the business community
In the decrease of the number of immi-
grants.
With the close of the Oregon indus
trial exposition eight of the committee,
who had so successfully managed that
affair, decided to come together and
rehabilitate the old Oregon immigra-
tion board. This has been done, the
new organization being known as the
Pacific Northwest migration board,
its promoters being Messrs. Ellis G..
Hughes. E. G. Masten. L. L. Haw-
kins. A. H. Devers, B. S. Pague. L. D.
Cole. 81. w. Goode and Sol Open
heimer.
1t is proposed by the boord to draw
immigration to Oregon, particularly
of the farmer class, by judiciously ad.
vertising the immense natural wealth
and resources Of the state. Funds. of
course are needed to carry out his
plan, and prior to proclaiming the or
ganization to the public the business
men named made canvass of The mer-
chants of the city with such battering
results as to assure the payment'of $780,
600, the sum considered necessary for
carrying on of work. Already Sl0,-
600 has been raised, and should those
yet to be seen respond in anything
like the manner of the present SUBJ
scribers, there will be no difficulty in
placing the board on firm financial
basis.
It is intended to organize county
who will take care Of ar |
irving immigrants, and also to pub
lish a monthly pamphlet or magazine,
with fresh matter. describing different
sections of the state. in each issue.
The railroads promise their full sup
port, and with the aid OF the busi-
ness community. the Pacific No tn
west immigration board seems an as
sured success.-Telegram.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Burglars Entered the Store of Moore
Bros! at Moro, But Were Fright
ened AWAY.

Moore Bros. were surprised Fri
day morning on going to their store to
find that some time during the pre-
vious night it had been entered by
burglars. and were equally surprised
to find that the robbers had not sue
ceeded in getting away with anything.
They had gained admitance through
side window to the Office and had pried
off the hinges to door leading into the
main storeroom. Evidently the at
tempt at robbery had been made about
8 o'clock in the morning, as about that
hour number of young people, who
had been attending party in the
country, came into town, making con-
siderable noise, and it is supposed
frightened the robbers away before
they had time to make raid on, the
safe. This was evidently their inten-
zion. as a number of tools which had
been stolen from blacksmith shop
we're found in the store. left there by
,he burglars. Mr.. w. 81. Moore, who
was in the city Friday. stated that
there was no clew to the identity of the
would-be robbers, and that they left no
traces by which they could be fol-
lOwed

their care will receive their prompt
attention, and any information de-
sired concerning the line of machinery

Engine & Thresher Co., who are sue
cessors to the well.known firm of Rus

established an enviable reputation for
fair an honest dealings with their Gus
toners, and no doubt intend to secure
their part of the machinery trade of
this county. They have shown good
judgment in selecting Maier & Benton
as their representatives for this local
ity, and we trust their business for the

Beginning Glasses.

Beginning classes will be organized
in Union street, Acad emy Park, and
East Hill Primary schools on Tuesday,
January 2lst. Children who are six
years of age on or before April 30,
1895, may enter these beginning classes
and should enter the school most con-
venienu to their home. Parents and
guardians are requested to start all
beginners for the spring term on the
day for organization of classes. as
starting at such time is best for the
child and more satisfactory to the
teachers. For few years past it has
been customary to organize the begin
ners' classes on the first Monday in
March. However, it is though5 that
the first week of the new term will be
a more suitable time to receive Begin
ners, and new classes will not be or
ganized in March of this year.
Owing to the large enrolment in the
first grade departments, only those
entitled to enter can be received. and
it will be useless for those under the
above stated age to report at the
schools, expecting to enter.

THE DIsTILLERY AT GRANTS.
It Will Again Begin Operations ON an
Increased Scale.

It VIII Again Begin Operations ON an
Increased Scale.
During the time it was operated,
prior to the flood of 1894, the distillery
at Grants proved to be one of the lead
ing industries of this section, one that
not only kept large amount of money
at home but also furnished a home
market for large amount of grain.
The distillery was formerly operated
by the Portland Distilling Co., which
has been merged into the Pacific Dis
tilling and Milling Co., with its prin-
cipal office in San Francisco, Mr.. Ed
gar B. Carroll. of San Francisco, hav-
ing recently associated himself with
Messrs, G. B. Goodell and j. w.
Walker in the company, and is its
president. Besides the distillery, which
has a capacity for consuming 300
bushels of wheat day, the company
owns the large roller mills at Grants
that produces from Is to 8 barrels of
-four daily, and have extensive facili-
ties for feeding cattle and hogs. At
present they have 200 head of cattle
and 500 head Of hogs in their stalls
1t is expected that the dis
tillery will again start up on The 10Th,
and under the management of the new
will be run to its full capacity.

The government timber land inspec-
tor is in La Grande, and has suspended
payne on several lots of railroad
ties until he can have time to invests
gate them. When he finds they are
all right he draws the order and the
tie men get their money. On the
other hand. if he finds the ties were
cut on government land he seizes them
and reports the matter to the federal
grand jury.
An effort is on foot to have grand
