4 This season the Indians on Warm
Spring reservation have harvested a
large crop of whes t. ard will be able
to supply the agency with flour. They
haul their wheat to Prineville where
it is ground, and bring the flour back
to the agency and sell it to the gov
ernment at good prices.
At last The Dalles is beginning tc
enjoy the beneficial results of an oper
RIVER. II now has nine boats a week
and gets rate of 124 cents per hun
dred on freight from Portland. ItalsC
gets rates on down freight, wheat ani
wool, that are lower than can be hat
q, any competing point.
To the credit of The Dalles and the
efficiency of it's police force it may be
said that there was not burglary or
robbery during the entire week of the
fair. Marshal Lauer and his assistants
kept close watch on the thugs, OF
which there was a large number ic the
city, and prevented any lawlessness.
]. NJ. Murcbie, of the Columbia
Southern, is in the city, and says the
road is getting all the traffic it can
handle with its present facilities. Two
trains of five loaded cars are run from
Bisgs to Wasco and back each day,
hauling loads of wood, lumber and
merchandise out and loads of wheat
back.
Sheriff Driver returned this morning
from Canyon City where he had been
as witness in the case of the state VS..
Hinkle, charged with murder. Sam
Van Vactor, of this city, conducted the
defense, and Mr.. Driver says he
handled the case exceptionally we'll.
Mr.. Van Vactor came home ky the
way of Prineyille, and will not return
until after circuit court adjourns at
that place.
A dispatch from Saginaw, Mich,
says that Rev. o. D. Taylor, of The
Dalles, who had been on trial for II
days on a charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses in connection
with an improvement company, was
found guilty last Saturday. Aside
from the news conveyed in the dis
patch, nothing has been learned here
regarding the conviction, but it is
supposed Mr.. Taylor will take an ap-
peal to the Michigan supreme court.
Last evening VIM. Kelsay, of Ante
lope, met with quite severe accident
resulting in the breaking of two of his
ribs. He was coming to The Dalles
and stopped oyer night at the Wilhelm
place eight miles from town. Some
time after dark he stepped out of the
house and fell down an embankment
about two feet with such force as to
break his ribs. DIR. Logan was called
to attend him, and placed Mr.. Kelsay
in as comfortable condition as possible.
Hugh Glenn spent yesterday in the
city and left this morning for Port
land. Mr.. Glenn Gays he will have
his contract on the Astoria
& Columbia road within month,
when he will return to The Dalles and
see what can be done in regard to
building road from here into the in
terror. He still has utmost confidence
in The Dalles and feels certain it
has brilliant future if the people will
only improve the opportunities thrown
in their way. !
Yesterday afternoon a little lad
about II years of age named Haveney.
was picked off freight train going
east and delivered over TO Marshal
Lauer. He resides at Hood River, and
had determined to 60 to Wasco to see
his father who has been harvesting in
Sherman county, so he boarded the
train, penniiess and alone, on jour
ney that many an older boy would
have feared to have undertaken. His
mother at Hood River has been noti-
fled by telephone of his whereabouts.
A record bus was received at the
county clerks Office today direct from
the factory in Chicago, and is a most
convenient contrivance. 1t is loaded
up with the indexes and the principal
records and each morning will be
out of the vault into the outer
section of the clerks office where the
volumes can be examined by parties
desiring to examine the records with
out putting the clerk to any incon-
venience. It would be we'll for Brother
of the Dispatch, to inspect the
new bus the next time he comes to
town.
The Dalles Is to have another ware
house, Sam Wilkinson having de-
termined to put up one on First street,
next to Pease & M - warehouse.
The building will be 33-x120 feet, two
stories high, covered with iron and
will have a stone basement. A. Ander-
son drew the plans and specifications
for the building, and has secured the
contract for constructing it. Work
will commence at once on the founda-
tion, and Mr.. Wilkinson expects to
have the warehouse ready for use by
the time the wool season begins.
