A Calf With Two Mouths.

There is calf at Mosier, the pror-

as one of the leading freaks OF nature.
The calf is perfectly formed in all paris

upper part of the head is natural, with
onemouth where it should ordinarily
be, and underneath this is a growth
about six inches long and four inches
In diameter, at the extremity OF which
is well.developed mouth, with teeth,
well formed lower jaw and tongue.

Fruit culture is destined to in the
near future become one of the leading
industries of Wasco County, the eli
mate and soil being we'll adapted to
the production of all fruits suited to
this latitude. Realizing this fact,
County Clerk Kelsay has gone into
the business on an extensive scale, and
has growing on his farm, three miles
below The Dalles, an orchard of 7,40O
trees, principally winter apples, which
are now two years old. and are all in
fine growing condition. tuesday
the editor of the TIMEs-MoUNTAINBEE
accompanied Mr.. Kelsay to the farm
and was shown over the orchard. The
trees are healthy and are making a
splendid growth this year, showing the
soil to be we'll suited to fruit. In ad-
dition to tree culture, MIR. Kelsay is
gardening on an extensive scale. He
had three acres of peas. which bave
already been picked and marketed.
Also eight acres Of string beans, two
acres of tomatoes and some twenty
acres Of potatoes. the beans are al
most ready to pick, and it is expected
that the eight acres will yield from n
to 80 tons. These will be shipped to
Montana, Colorado and Minnesota os
soon as they are ready for market.
Mr.. Kelsay certainly has model fruit
farm, one which in few years will
add much to the wealth of thecounty.

Why Johson IL Lame.

Passengers on the Dalles City have
noticed the past few days thatt the gal
liant captain was not so spry as is Gus.
tomary, in fact he has been seriously
lame, scarcely able to climb into the
pilot house, and has to all appearances
been suffering from some great per-
sonal injury. Captain johnson has
been very reticent concerning his
malady, but warm friend gained his
confidence and learned that he is
suffering from badly disabled leg,
the result of rescuing a handsome
young lady bicycle rider from instant
death on Fourth street in Portland a
few days since. Just how the captain
performed the feat, or what the danger
to which the fair one was subjected
was not explained, but suffice to say,
he was the hero of the occasion, and
is now suffering untold agony for his

THE yOGT BLOCK.
AN Ornament to the City and Model
of Beauty,


of Beauty.
Just four months ago the Vogt block
was mass of ruins, and today it
stands out as model of modern arcili-
lecture and beauty, a monument to the
memory of its owner and an ornament
to the city. The work of rising the
ruins has been under the immediate
supervision of Hugh Glenn, while
the brick work and plastering was
conducted by Kocher & Freeman, the
expert contractors and builders of
Portland. That these gentlemen are
first-class workmen In their line is
evidenced by Inequality OF the work
they have done on this building, which
is pronounced A J., by all who are
judges of such work.
Thebuilding is l00xl50. and on the
ground foor are six handsome store
rooms, well lighted and airy through
out. The second foor is reached by
two broad stairways landing on Second
street and'one landing at the southeast
corner on Federal street. On the
second floor are two large society halls,
leased by the K. of P. lodge, besides
twenty-eight large, we'll lighted Office
rooms all Of which are i'm mediately con-
nected with the main halls that extend
through the length and breadth OF the
building. The wood work on the UP.
per floor is OF Oregon cedar and fin
ished In hard oil and varnish, pre-.
senting cheery and attractive ap.
pearance. The building throughout
has all the latest appliance for steam
heating, and will be lighted with elec.
tricity. g.
AS said before, the building is q
model Of beauty, and the workman
ship reflects credit upon Kocher &
Freeman who did both the outside
cement work and the inside plastering.
Only few finishing touches are re.
quired to prepare it for occupancy, and
all that is lacking to add to the outside
appearance is q cement walk in front
and on the east side, which we under
stand Mr.. Vogt contemplates building.

House, I wish to state to the public
what he did for my father, (now resid!
ing in Boyd, Oregon.l seven years
ago. For months he had been sorely
afflicted With terrible pain in the ear
and head, causing restlessness, deaf

crazy with pain, and all remedies
seemed to fail to cure. He was induced
to go to DR.. Darrin, then in Portland.
In few weeks he came home cured

Fifty Cents ON The Dollar.

Today Sheriff Driver returned from
Portland, where be had been for a
number of days endeavoring to perfect
arrangements with McCoy's hackers
to raise money with which to pay the
men who have been employed On the
Wapinitia ditch. Mr.. Driver sue
ceeded IN getting enough to settle one
half the mems claims, and on his ar
rival began drawing checks, paying
them so cents on the dollar. of the
amount due them. This the men are
accepting rather reluctantly, but
they consider that malt loaf" is
better than nothing, and even this
pittance is of cor siderable Importance
since it represents the result of two
months of hard toll: and to some is
about all OF their possessions. 1t is
indeed shame that Mccoy should
thus defraud his laborers, and pay
them off in ons-half the price agreed
upon, since they performed honest
work and were entitled to full pay, but
as it appears that he has nothing in
sight for the mea to attach, it is about
the best they can do.

NOT ENCOURAGING.
Captain Fisk Unable to Tell When the
Locks VIII he Opened.

Senator Smith, of Gillian county,
returned last night from Portland.
While in that city he conferred with
Capt. Fisk, chief of the engineers
corps in charge of the works at Cas-
cade Locks, with reference to when
work is likely to be resumed and when
the canal would probably be opened.
He earned from Capt. Fisk that nego-
tions were being made with Day Bros.
for performing the work, but no agree.

the engineers department had not as
yet determined whether the locks
would be operated when the walls be.
tween the lock and lower guard gate.
were concreted, or whether they would
be kept closed until solid masonry
walls were built. In case the former
is determined upon; the canal can be
operated this fall, but if masonry walls
are to be built first, the date Of open
ing is indefinite.
This is rather discouraging to Mr..
Smith, who is one of the prime movers
in the organization of the Column
bla Portage & Navigation Com
pany, which was Incorporated for
the purpose of building portage road
around the Cello and dalles falls.
Without the locks in operation the
portage road would be of little value,
hence when work will be commenced
on the road depends upon what is done
at the Cascades. However the incor-
porators will continue selling stock,
and will hold stockholders' meeting
or July 81 for the purpose Of per-
feeting organization, SO that they will
be in readiness to begin construction as
soon as it is definitely knownwhen the
locks will be ready to operate.
