Does the American government
think it is strong enough to appropriate
in it's own interest one of the two hem
ispheres and forbid Europe to have ac-
cess to at least half of the world? If it
pushes it's eXtravagant pretensions to
this point, the only thing that can hap

rive at an understanding by which they
will close their ports to American ships,
a measure which will make America
ask for mercy within week. Why does
America assume an attitude she can
not maintain"

British Flying Squadron Waits for It's

London Jan. 20-In spite of the as
sertion of a sensational news agency
to the contrary, the Associated Press is
in a position to repeat it's assertion of
Saturday last that it had been informed
by the British admiralty that the des-
tination Of the flying squadron now at
Spithead is not yet determined upon,
even by the admiralty, and certainly it
will not go to Bermuda or anywhere in
American waters for the present.
Reports from New York that com

Dull Outlook for Wool.

Joseph Hall, of Norwich, Con. owner
o. two wGolen mills in that city, is in
The Dalles, having arrived Wednesday
from San Francisco, where he has
been buying wool the past month.
When asked by TIMEs-M DUN TAIN
EER reporter what the outlook s{or
wool was, Mr.. Hall replied that there
was virtually none, nor did he believe
there would be any activity in the
wool market until the tariff was read
justed. Like all manufacturers, Mr..
Hall wants more duty on imported
woolens. He declares American man
ufacturers must have more protection
to enable them to compete with Eng.
lish factories, and until this is given
he says they cannot offer higher prices
for wool. Shoddy, worth only three
cents pound. he says enters largely
into many English fabrics, hence he
favors heavy duty on shoddy cloth as
a protection both to tho wool grower
and manufacturer.

Condition Of Crops.

A month ago Wasco county had the
best prospect for crops ever known
since the surrounding country was
converted from grazing to a grain
growing country, but that condition
does not exist today. The hot weather
that has prevailed since the 23d of
June has been most detrimental to
late sown grain, and even fall wheat
has been more or less damaged. In
some localities fall wheat was far
enough advanced that it was not
materially affected more than to shrivel
the berry, which will make the grain
light and OF comparative poor quality,
though in other places the berry has
been almost ruined, and the grain will
be OF little value except for feed.
Some spring grain was ust in bloom
when the hot weather came, and this
is reported to haye withstood the heat
fairly we'll, though the yield will be
light, while very late grain, except on
damp land, has it is believed, been
ruined. From the information at
hand 1t is safe to state the yield of
wheat this season will not be nearly so
great as that of 1895, nor will the
quality be up to the average.

ter OF Postmaster Nelson, of Susan
vile, who was lost in the Blue noun
tains on the 4tn while attendingO a
picnic, was not found until the follow

we'll and hearty wfren found. The
little one had wandered into the woods
unnoticed, and for seven days crowds
of men secured the mountains in
search of the missing child, and at last
a man found her seated on some drift
wood by the riverside. The account
of her wandering and subsequent find
ing is given by the East Oregonian as
follows:
The little 4-year-old had gone on

This nountain-Settle mt.-is con-
sidered the most dangerous in that
locality on account of bears and cou.
gars, and it is a great wonder the little
girl escaped them a whole week.
The man who found her came on her
suddenly and she said hello to him,
calling him by name. He asked her
where she had been. She said she
had been looking for her pappa. He
asked her if she was almost starved.
The youthful wanderer replied that
she was not hungry and that she had
eaten berries and the flesh of a dead
calf back among the trees. The peo-
pie, who had by that time come up,
were aghast. By questioning her,
they learned where the carcass was to
be found. and by short search, found
the body of calf which had been |
killed by coyotes. She had gotten
down and eaten the flesh and was not
sick from it. The people asked her
how it was that her face was not made
dirty while eating her strange meal.
She replied that she had washed her.

"The little girl was not at all fright
