The King of GhouIs Falls a Victim to
Indian Vengeance.

Two miners who have been prospect

Hartley, a collector of Indian relics and
curios, was found Thursday, Sept. Sd,
by Henry Peterson, timber cruiser,
on small island in Deadman's lake, in
the dense forest which stretches from
Mount st. Helens to the Columbia
river.
Hartley will be remembered by many
in The Dalles as very pleasant-man-
nered man, full of lore concerning geol-
ogy and archaeology, and ever ready to
engage in such a conversation. He was
also possessed of a rapacity for Indian
relics, and pursued many plans to get
them in his possession, when he would
send them East. He doubtless knew
Just where was the best market and
must have made tremendous profits by
his unusual occupation. Under one
pretext or another he secured many
stone implements and curios from diff
ferent citizens of The Dalles. Rev. w.
C. Curtis, DIR. Sutherland, Mr.. S. L.
Brooks, Mr.. Carey, Miss Anne Lang and
others lost a part of their valuable col
lections through his smooth workings.
Generally he would "borrow" them for
Eastern exhibits, with a promise to re-
turn. If this would not do, he would
promise to exchange other kinds of curl
osities for the Indian relics. Miss Lang
and DIR. Sutherland received some
worthless ''curiosities" in return from
him in this way. He succeeded in in
dacing Mr.. Carey to part with his for a
time by telling him he wanted to pho
tograph them, and that gentleman
found them later in the express Office
billed for the East by the enterprising
Hartley. But he paid dearly in the end
for his dishonest practices, for at last
he fell into the hands of his Indian ene-
mics.

1t is difficult to locate exactly the pri-

of this country, but the facts are that
the entire machinery of the government
is being turned against the sheemen,
with singleness of purpose seldom OBJ
servable in any cause for adjudication.
A haste is being shown in settling this
matter wherein its expedjency is incon-
ceivable. The fimsy excuse of forest

for the season for fires is about closed

1t is learned that the going out of the

Twenty tons of silica were shipped
from the Mosier mines to Boston this

about $l2 per ton. The silica mines
now give employment to eight or nine

The county judge and commissioners
went this morning to Upper Mill Greek

Mr. B. K. Hollister, a brother of DIR.

chemist of Chicago, has recently in

The Pendleton Woolen Mills started
up in earnest Monday. Says the Tri-
bune: Several looms are now running
off brightly colored goods. which will be
made into Indian robes. The carding
machines are now turning off a drab
colored wool which is to be used in max
ing blankets. A large stock of the soft
est kind of wood has been run through
covering to be recognized as warm look
ing comforters. Several hands accus-
toned to the work have been brought
into the city to enable the management
to make a satisfactory beginning. 1t is
very probable that what additional
hands may be needed will be found at
home.
An Indian is making more money than
anyone in town at the present time.
Indian Jake's pile of sturgeon, as it lays
on the sidewalk every day in front OF
the express Office, ranges anywhere from
500 to 1900 pounds, for which he re-
ceives AZ cents pound. It is rather
curious that Jake's line is always the
lucky one. Our white citizens, and even
colored brethren never bring so much
sturgeon meat to the surface as does
Indian Jake. If the Indian is possessed
of an art whereby he can hook more fish
he keeps the secret inviolate. No one
has yet found it out, though they look
at him curlously enough. Jake comes
from a fisherman's family. His father
and grandfather before him fshed for
living in the Columbia river, and h
may easily possess valuable trade Sc
, crets which the white man does not
know.

He Dies on the Expedition Against
the Ashantees.
The death of Prince Henry Maurice
of Battenberg, son-in-law of Queen
Victoria, which occurred recently, as
the result Of swamp fever contracted
while on the military expedition OF the
British into Ashantee, West Africa, is
severe blow to the Queen, who was
deeply attached to him, and the Prin-

fine-looking man and joined the ex-

Ashantee he was stricken with swamp
fever and was sent back to the coast
to be conveyed to the healthful island
of Madeira. He died on the steamer
that was conveying him there.
Prince Henry was born In 1853 IL

morganatic marriage. In 1885, he

OPPRESSED AFRICA.
Only two tiny spots free, Liberia and Morocco.

While the South African republics
possess autonomy, they cannot be
called Independent In the full mean
ing Of that term, Transvaal being actrl-
ally under British suZerainity, as to
foreign affairs, and the Orange Free
State being surrounded by British ter
ritory, and holding much the same re-
lation to the British colonies that San
Marine does to the kingdom of Italy.
There Is no reason, therefore. for dis
tinguishing these states from other
African territory under British control.
They are not Independent i'm the sense
that Morocco and Liberia are indepen-
dent.
The South American portion of our
continent presents marked contrast to
Africa. From Panama to Cape Horn.
of about 100000 square miles, only
about 100000 square miles are subject
to foreign occupation. and even this
comparatively small area would be
greatly diminished should England fail
to support her claim to disputed terri
tory in Venezuela. IT Is not because
European powers would not like to
seize upon and parcel out South Ameri-
can IL they could that this state Of
affairs exists. 1t Is because the United
States has declared that there shall be
no parcelling. that Europe must keep
her hands off the American continent,
and because Europe knows that the
United States Is strong enough to back
up the declaration. Africa has no ma
tive state powerful enough to make a
similar stand, and the result Is seen in
Cairo, i'm Antananarivo, i'm Zanzibar
and Timbuctoo. where the ancient
rulers have had to bow before alien
masters, who have no rightful claim
whatever upon their allegiance.
The American people will continue to
keep standing their notice to the pow
ers of the old world that there is no
room for slaughter and conquest here;
that this side of the globe is reserved
for governments of the people, and
that the cameps head of European ag-
gression will not be permitted to enter
the tent of American liberty.

Dogwood,s Many Uses.

Dogwood wands make excellent
whipstocks. and are used in some OF
the best whips. They are cut sometimes
by coachmen In the suburbs and sent
to town to be dressed and made up into
whips The stocks made of this wood
are notable for their ornamental knobs
at regular intervals, being the trun-
Gated and rounded branches. These
are initiated in some other whipstocks,
but the imitation is cause Of weak
ness. The dogwOod stocks are ex-
tremely tough and elastic, being COM
parable I'm elasticity with whalebone.
The wood Is used also for butchers
skewers, and some philologists conjec-
ture that the first syllable of the name
is corruption Of dag" meaning a
spine or dagger. Dogwood, as being Pc
culiarly free from slick, Is used by
watchmakers and opticians in clean
ing watches and lenses. The bitter
bark Of the dogwood is used also as q
substitute for the Peruvian duinine
tree. Dogwood is notably of slow
growth, and in all thickly populated
regions the tree Is recklessly despoiled
for the sake Of It's blossoms, so that
the supply OF the wood for commercial
purposes Is not large.--New York Sun.

Losing Sense OF Color.

The human eye, though trained to
distinguish colors. may by want of use
forget how to distinguish them. The
unique experience of DR.. r. Harley,
+. X. s., related i'm the London Specta-
tor, establishes the fact that color can
he forgotten, as well as learned, by
human sight.
DIR. Harley, In order TO save the sight
of one, perhaps of both eyes, when
one was injured. voluntarily immured
himself in room made totally dark for
nine months.
The fortitude which enabled him to
adopt this course. and the ingenuity
by which he preserved his health and
faculties in this, the most mentally and
physically depressing of all forms Of
imprisonment, are sufficiently remark
able: but DR.. Harley also kept an ac-
curate record of his Impressions when
he at last looked again upon the light,
after the supreme moment at which
he satisfied himself that lie was not
blind, but could see.
He found that in the nine months
darkness his eyes had lost all sense Of
color The worlu was black, white and
gray. They had also lost the sense Of
distance. His brain interpreted the
picture wrongly. His hand did not
touch the object meant to be grasped.
Practice soon remedied the last in
duced defect of sight. Experiment
with skeins of various-colored wool, in
the presence of one who had normal
color vision, restored the first.

dependence and liberty reign in South
America.
These two maps graphically illus
trate the existing necessity for the en-
forcement of the Monroe doctrine. The
United States does not propose to let
South America become another Africa
another scene of bloody conquest and
horrid outrage.
T.. ]. Glane, who studied African out
RACES carefully, thus estimated: "The
subjugation Of Africa has left a. mark
of blood across the history of these
times. More than 100000 persons
have been slain directly or Indirectly
by the explorers who have blazed the
way with CORY marks, and the follow
ing conquerors might almost have
walked to victory over corduroy road
of corpses."
Therefore, 1t is not surprising that
President Monroe declared his now cele-
brated doctrine. Certainly It is enough
We can only pity Africa. but we can
protect South America. OF all that
vast continent only two spots-one tiny
Liberia, the other barbarous Morocco
to-day remain independent of European
control, and it is mostly within the
past ten years that the great European
Powers have thus parcelled out Africa.
The nation and sovereign who subju-
gated these lands did not consult the
natives, they merely killed them when
ever they resisted. They are still kill
ing them. Great Britain. France. Ger
many, and Italy have all had share
in the spolation, and the troops of those
nations are still engaged in hunting the
Africans like wild beasts in order to
compel them to acknowledge their new
masters. OF course, the chief among
the spoilers is England. which has an

Salvation Army Will Start Farm

The farm colony" which the Saliva.
ton Army has long contemplated
starting in America will probably soon
be established in Mahwah, n. j. The
plan Is based on the colonies suggested
by Gen. Booth In his Darkest England"
one Of which was established in Had
leigh, Essex, Eng, several years ago.
The object of the farm Is not to support
aged members of the Salvation Army,
but to carry out Gen. Booths man
making" plan, as his scheme for giving
unfortunate mortals new start in life
has been called. The plan in brief Is
to take men out Of the cutters, give
them chance to work If they are will
ing to do SO, and finally render them
self-suppOrting and decent members
of the community.
1t Is calculated by officers of the Sal
walton Army that there are in New
York City. for instance, 100000 men
and women in the streets out of work.

persons new start in life. 1t is not
intended that they shall be given money

the Salvation soldiers, to give money
to a man who has not earned IL is to
lessen his self-respect and make 1t cas-
Ter for him to accept charity again., per-
haps to seek it, when he might earn
money by honest toll.
England, when Gen. Booth touched
its big heart with his stories OF Ozark
est England" contributed $500, 900 for
the work which he outlined, and it Is
not thought that this country will be
less generous If an appeal is made for
funds with which to attempt the ban
ishment of idleness and poverty.
