MODERATE TARIFF WANTED.
Wool Raisers Will Be Satisfied With Eight
Cents o Pound.

Several gentlemen largely engaged
the wool industry in this state ex.
! pressed themselves yesterday, says the
Oregonian. as being desirous of seeing
an Scent tariff duty placed on wool,
rather than the higher duty contem-
plated by the Dingley bill. Many feel
| that extensive discussion OF the SUBJ
| ject at the present time will have an
injurious effect by giving to enemies
of tariff opportunity for saying that
even some of the Western people
oppose such measures. More protec-
tion is admitted By all to be necessity,
but the fear is entertained that any
dispute as to the proper rate will con-
vey the idea to the manufacturers OF
the East that it is not matter of vital
Importance in the minds of the wool
producers of the West. Just how the
difference between needed tariff protec-
tion and the high rate contemplated
by the Dingley bill would be distrib-
uted, in case the latter was enacted
into law, is not clear. The wool pro-
ducer will feel the full effects of needed
protection, which is conceded by ali to
be about cents pound, but whether
any additional rate will inure to his
benefit or to other factors in the in
dustry is not agreed upon. All unite
in the apprehension that the high rate
will have the effect of causing a re-
action that may eventually sweep away
all protection entirely.

A Heroic Deed,

Last Monday afternoon Mrs. Buchler
and Mrs. Gosser were out west of the
City gathering flowers and were ac-
companied by little girl about six
years of age by the name of Belat. Re-
turning they were crossing Mill creek
on the foot bridge above Ninth street
when the little girl fell into the water
and was carried down the swift stream
some distance. The ladies, almost
frantic with fright started to her res
cue, but come to a barbwire fence
which they could neither get over or
go around. They could see the child
floating down the mad current, but
were unable to render assistance. Fort
unately they saw Jim Busha, an Indian
lad who is cripple and goes on
crutches, and called to him to save the
drowning girl. Brave little Jim hob
bled to the stream, waded into the
rushing waters and rescued the child.
Little Jim takes no credit to himself,
considering his act only one which
humanity demanded that he should
perform, but it would be a handsome
reward for true bravery if the kind
people of The Dalles would give him
some substantial recognition for his
act

A Correct View

| Judge Crowell, of Jackson county,
seems to have correct view as regards
to the turning over of the state taxes.
Replying to Judge Gray of Clatsop
county, who invited him to participate
iu the move instituted to withhold the
state taxes says:
SIN reply l beg to say, that I would
like very much to retain the 900
that Jackson county has to pay into
the state treasury, in circulation among
the taxpayers of Jackson county, in
stead of having the same lie idle, in the
state treasury for two years, but there
is no legal or lawful method by which
this can be done. And 1 am not will
ing to advise our county treasurer to
disregard the law, his oath and his
bond by withholding from the state
treasury the money which it is his
duty to pay over to the state. 1 am
quite sure that our county treasurer
will obey the law and pay over the
state tax; and am equally sure that I
shall not advise him to commit an un-
lawful act in this particular.
81 sympathize with the object
sought, but there is no lawful method
by which it can be done. 1 am a BIZ
metalist but not an anarchist and
hence cannot aid or counsel the over
riding of the law"

1t was social night ct the Degree of
Honor Thursday, the members having
invited number Of guests, who were
admitted after the routine business of
the lodge had been completed, and a
most interesting program was rem
dered. The entertainments opened by
rendition by male quartet consist
ing of C. J. Crandall, DR.. Lannerberg,
G. G. Gibbons and DR.. Eshelman, fol-
lowed by a vocal solo by Sidney
Young, recitation by Mrs. Briggs
and banjo duet by Messrs. Parkins
and Sims. Then the crowning event
of the evening was brought on, farce
entitled "The Awful Mystery" pro-
duced by four young folks from the
high school, Misses Buhla Sterling
and May Elton, and Messrs. Arthur
Stubling and Vic Schmidt. The farce
was lively one, affording much amuse-
ment and plenty of opportunity for
laughter. The social was concluded
with dance, lasting almost till mid
night.

ANOTHER FOOL BETrok.
wagered His Hair on Corbett and Now Is
Bald.


Bald.
Miss Daisy Doud, the schoolmistress
of the Farallones, California, now car
ries with her in little bag every hair
that was on the head of Edward Cashin,
the lighthouse keeper on the same
islands. Miss Doud is as proud of her
bag of hair as any Indian who over
tore off the tuft of an enemy in battle,
while poor Cashin goes about with his
head as bald as billiard ball and ex-
periences the feelings of a man who
has been scalped or shaved a la Chinese.
The Observation-Disclosures fight is
responsible for it all. Miss Doud, like
nearly all the women, was sure Fitz-
simmons would win, while Cashin
figured Corbett as c1nch. The dull
hours on the island were spent in
strong argument ON the respective
abilities and chances OF the two men
to win, and these arguments became
so heated that Miss Doud and the light
house-keeper entered into wager of
the Merchant of Venice variety.
Miss Doud agreed, in case her favorite
pugilist was defeated, to buy for Cashin
the finest necktie in San Francisco,
while Cashin agreed to sacrifice his
flowing locks in case Corbett did not
prove a winner.

Was Not NIahauny

E. G. Mahanny is missing from Grass
Valley and fear is expressed that it
was he who was found dead near The
Dalles last week and buried without
Identification after an inquest by the
coroner.-Moro Observer.
When the unknown man was brought
to The Dalles it was thought by some
that deceased was Mahanny, but such
was not the case, for Mr.. Mahanny was
in the city last Tuesday very much
alive, and unless he was buried alive
and has since been resurected, the sui
eide could not have been the gentle
man who was missing from Grass
Valley, hence the anxiety as to his
whereabouts need not worry his friends
in Sherman county,

TIE DRILL Is HERE.
Now for the Secrets Held in the Bowel
nf the EartI,

Now for the Secrets Held in the Bowel,
of the Earth.
The diamond drill to be used in pros
pecting for coal on Chenowith creek
has arrived, and there is now nothing
| lacking to determine if The Dalles
shall become the great coalmining
region of the Northwest but labor to
pnt the prospect hole down into the
hidden recesses of Mother Earth, and
discover if therein lies beds of bitumen
that are destined TO heat the furnaces
of prospective manufacturing indus
tries that are sure to follow the dis
coyery of coal.
The labor, Messrs. T. T. Nicholas g.
Co. propose to furnish, and will begin
operations so soon as the drill can be
taken to the, location of the prospect
and set up. i The drills quite a COM
plicated affair, the machinery consist
ing of contrivanee to be propelled by
steam power that turns the drill, and
Thousand or more feet of extra-heavy
iron pipe which follows the drill down
the hole and through which the core
that is cut out of the rock is, brought
to the surface.
When the drill is placed in position
and work is begun, it is the purpose of
the company to push it along until the
question of coal or no coal is determ-
incl. And upon the result depends to
q considerable extent the future of The
Dalles. If good vein of coal is dis
covered, The Dalles will furnish fuel
for Oregon, for with its advantages, of
cheap river transportation lit can sup
ply Portland and all Willamette valley
towns in competition with all corners,
and the field to the east, as far as Snake
river. is open to the prospective Dalles
coal mines. Give us coal and we are
certain to become not only the great
city of the Inland Empire,
put the greatest manufacturing center
If the Northwest, hence it is we all |
nope Messrs. Nicholas & Co. will be |!
in their venture.
