A former resident of The Dalles, now
of Winner, Or, writes to friend in this
city that there is much dissatisfaction
over the action of the government at
Washington in granting patents to so
much mineral land to the Southern Pa
cific Co. He says he can count ten
mining claims within half mile that
have been worked for forty years for
gold; one that has been worked with a
hydraulic plant for fifteen years, and the
plant was on the ground at the time of
issuing the patent, which covers and
takes it in. These patents SAVIOR of the
rankest iobbery, but it seems the min
ing claimants are powerless to move in
the matter, and the railroad company lin
cahoots with the powers that be, can
defy justice and the rights of mere
American citizens.
G. G. Hobart feels so morally certain
that the locks will be opened by No
vember 18th, that he is having the por-
tage road torn up and destroyed. AL
though everyone now agrees with Mr..
Hobart IN believing the locks will be
completed on or before the date mem
toned, yet the haste noted in tearing
up the portage road sets badly upon
those who have taken an interest in the
peoples line of boats on the river.
They would have been glad to see the
portage remain as long as there remained
possib bility that it might be needed,
and that possi bility, though remote, ex-
lists until boats actually pass through
the channel. The road was not III the
way, and seizing the first excuse to tear
it up argues the possession of an un.
| friendly spirit toward it.

RESULTED FATALLY.
j. FL. Graham the Victim of a Railway
Accident at Grants.

J. H. Graham, otherwise known as
"Hank' Graham, was instantly killed
and his body horribly torn and mangled
this morning at Grants.
He was a brakeman on Conductor
R1ce's freight train, which at 10 o'clock
this morning was switching cars in the
yard. Graham was seen by half dozen
parties to swing himself up on the en-
CINE, but no one saw him fall to his
death, and juet how the accident hap
pened will never be known.
Conductor Rice himself was among the
number who last saw him aliye. Rice
was perhaps hundred yards in front of
the engine, talking to Mr.. Thos. A. Hud-
son at McCoy's house, near the main
line. The locomotive was coming tow
ard them from the end of the switch,
with Graham riding in front. Turning
his head away for a moment, and again
looking toward Graham, he noticed that
he was missing. He Immediately
guessed the, horrible truth, and said
''My GodI have they run over Hank ?'
A second later the locomotive moved
from the line of vision and disclosed to
Mr.. Rice's gaze the corpse of Graham.
He was cut in two, half of the body ly-
ing outside and half inside the track.
The exact time of the accident was
10 :05. The remains were taken up and
conveyed at once to The Dalles, arriving
here about II o'clock.
Graham was standing on the left or
fireman's side of the engine, and as it is
customary to make coupling from the
engineers side, it is surmised that he
tried to change sides before the engine
had reached the caboose, with which
it was to be coupled, but made mis-
step, slipping down the cowcatcher.
where, his foot striking the track, the
engine closed over him.
The deceased was a brother OF the
master mechanic at Albina, who was al
once notified and came up on special
train, arriving at 2 80 o'clock this after.
noon. Graham has been in The DalIes
about two years. He is unmarried, but
it is said had wife some years ago.
The inquest was held at 2:3O thii
afternoon, and the following is the yer
dict of the coroner's jury:
We, the undersigned, the Jury i'm
! paneled by w. II. Butts, coroner o
Wasco county, Or, to inquire into tn,
cause of the death of the body now be
fore US, find as follows:
That the name of said deceased is j
II. Graham, of the age of about 35 years
and from the evidence produced at thi
inquest we believe that said deceases
was man OF family; that he came t,
his death on the morning of the 18th O
September, 1896, at about the hour O
9 :05 a. M, at or near Grants station

; ployed as brakeman on train No. %, be

such brakeman at the time of his death
that the cause of his death, as near a
we are able to ascertain from the evi
dence of the witnesses sworn at tins in
quest, was from slipping off of the pilo
of the locomotive and being run over

Tho Concert.

The concert yesterday was not radio
ally different than those which had pre-
ceded it. While the absence of Mr..
Peterson's cornet could be noted, yet the
music was quite as sweet and the sew
eral selections SO well sustained under
the competent leadership of Mr.. Long
that the absence of Mr.. Peterson did not
seem by any means 1rremedial. The
serenade pheasant Dreams,' one of the
sweetest selections in the repertoire of
the band, was never exceeded in beauty
by it's rendition yesterday. "The Mill
in the Forest" was very fine also. Best
of all was the clarionet solo of Mr.. Mark
Long. There are few musicians on any
instrument who can pass from note to
note with the felicity possessed by Mr..
Long. Distinct and clear, without the
trace of a slur, Mr.. Long brings out a
succession of Gath notes with the dis
tinctness of the written music before
him, and wide changes of compass he
instantly accomplishes, preserving every
tone in it's original and separate beauty.
His solo yesterday was more difficult be-
cause of it's length, otherwise the audi
ence would have insisted on their en-
core.
Mr.. G. A. Clarke is becoming very
proficient IN the use of his traps, and
his bird music never sounded SO sweet,
nor was it as brilliant, as yesterday. He
has an able assistant in Mr.. A. Kennedy.
