What River Transportation Saves.

There is considerable speculation as
to what benefits will be derived to
this section through the opening of
the locks at Cascades anil the free
navigation of tine Columbia river.
Taking wheat. on which the greatest
saving to the country is made. and
comparing the rates that were charged
prior to the putting on of the d. P. &
A. n. line and the rates chat will pre-
vail next season, and the saving will be
81 cents on each bushel shipped. Be.
fore the state portage was built, the
rates on wheat from The Dalles to
Portland were 124 cents per bushel.
Next years crop will be handled for
cents. The present rate to Portland is
6 cents, so the immediate saving next
season, from the opening of the locks,
will be cents a bushel on all the
wheat shipped from this point. The
saving on all other classes of freight
will be proportionately great. hence
every product of the country must
compand a proportioually higher
price, while the merchandise imported
will be given to the farmers and con-
sumers at reduction equal to the re-
duction in freight rates.

California Has Produced Twice as Much
Gold as We Lave Today.
Char les G. Yale, statistician of the
California state mining bureau. has
compiled statistical review of the
gold production of California from l84S
to 1895, inclusive. Mr.. Yale gives not
only his own estimate of the produc-
tion, but that of pine recognized au-
thorities, affording q valuable COM
parison of data. Mr.. Yale has adopted
as the basis of his own statistics the
statistics compiled by Louis A. Garnett
and the United States mint directors
report as being the most correct and
complete of any exten1ed continuous
statement.
In note to his table he states that
''a table made up of the separate es-

our trade with foreign countries has
shown a balance in our favor every
year since '4S, and we have borrowed
billions of dollars from Europe, still
our gold has gradually slipped away.
These facts furnish matter for statisti-
clans to study over, and determine if
they can, what has become of our gold.

do a little figuring, as follows:
+Wasco and Klickitat counties ship
yearly 100000. OF wheat, and for
.very bushel the farmer will now re-
ceive from to cents more than he
otherwise would. That is what the com.
pletion of the locks mean. Sherman
county ships from 100000 to 1,5OO..
600 of wheat, and on this vast amount
from 3 to cents a bushel will be added
to what would otherwise be the'price.
This means that S150,000 to $500. .O0O
will be left yearly with the farmers
that otherwise they would not have re-

The Ancient Rumor Of the Queens Retire.
ment Again In Circulation and Idiotic
Reasons Given for 1t

LONDON, July 31.-The rumor that
of the Prince of Wales is again surrent
today. 1t is added that court circles are
greatly troubled regarding the condition
of the queens health. Such repo~,s have
frequently appeared In recent years,
only to be semi officially contradicted
later. But it now seems there may be
some actual foundation for the state
ments made.
1t is added her majesty has decided
to spend her time in the future at Bal
moral or Osborne and will give the
prince and princes of Wales the use of
Buckingham palace and Windsor castle.
There is no doubt the qeen SCENE to
feel greatly the weight of her years
and bereavements.
Her majesty is quoted as having re-
peatedly remarked during her stay at
buckingham palace, upon the occasion
Of the recent marriage of Princess
Maude of Wales to Prince Charles Of
Denmark, This is my last visit to Lon
don.
Color Is given to the rumors in circu-
lation by the deep emotion displayed
by the queen as she bowed in reply to
enthusiastic cheers of the multitudes
which lined the route from buckingham
palace to therailroad station, when she
took the train for Windsor after the
marriage ceremony.

DIED INSTANTLY
A Spokane Attorney Shot and Killed BY q
Lltigant


SPOKANE, Wash, July 31.-L. H.
Plattor. well known attorney and
Democratic politician, was shot and al
most instantly killed in the corridor of
the courthouse shortly before o'clock
this evening by Henry Seifert, we'll
known restaurant proprietor. The trag-
edy resulted from remarks made by
Plattor in court which Seifert construed
as reflection on his character. Seifert
was being pressed before the court as
administrator of the estate of Rudolph
Gorkow. a rich brewer, who died here
this week. Gorkow had married a vari-
ETY. actress about year ago, and the
marriage proving an unhappy one, he
brought suit for divorce shortly before
his death. In his will he cuts his wife
off without a dollar. She is contesting
the will, and there is a struggle over
the administration of the estate. Plat
tor represented some of the beneficiaries
of the will, opposing Seifert, and it had
been insinuated that Seifert's relations
with Mrs. Gorkow were not of proper
nature.
When court adjourned the two men
met in the corridor. Seifert claims he
offered his hand to Plattor as brother
Elk and said: Come on Lew, and will
show you that you are all wrong" 1t
is said by some, though denied by others
that Plattor rejected the proffered hand
and struck Seifert with his cane. Sci
fert then drew a revolver and fired the
fatal shot which passed through Plat
tors heart. Plattor was dead in a min
ute, never uttering a word after he was
chot.

Drove the Steer.

Squire Yogelsang, of Kelso Town
ship, Indiana, heard a curious case,
which may become as noted as that Of
the Iowa calf. John Kegler, who re.
SIDES at New Alsace, bet Charles Horn
beck, of Yorkville, that he could har-
ness an unbroken steer to the latter's
buggy and drive it from New Alsace
to Yorkviile, two miles. If Kegler
won he got the buggy; if not, the
steer went to Hornbeok.
The trial came off the next after
noon. The roadway from New Alsace
to Yorkville was lined with men, woi
men, children and an army of dogs.
Kegler brought out his steer, a little
runt, thin and wiry, and so viciously
angry that it required dozen men to-
put on the harness. Rornbeck rode q
big gelding. A bride was put on the
steer, and the bit made it furious
When it started the crowd yelled.
The steer didn't know where the win.
ming wire was, but it went the open
way toward Yorkville. The sight as
the steer went by, with bulging eyes
and tail sticking straight out, while
all the dogs joined in the race, yelp-!
ing at every jump, was a sight to be
remembered. The women waved their
shawls and capes, and even the chill
dren took part in the racket. York
vile was soon in sight. Everybody
followed and the road was packed from
fence to fence. Then Hornbeck re-
fused to pay the bet, but Kegler kept
