On Wednesday evening Elijah Cor
bett, brother of ex-senator W. H. Cor
bett, died at his home in Portland,
aged II years. Mr.. Corbett came to
Oregon in 1864, and for many years
thereafter was manager of the stage
line betweed Portland and Sacramen-
to. OF late years Mr.. Corbett had been
connected with the street car lines of
Portland, and was quite wealthy. He
leaves widow but no children, bis
only son having died some Is months
ago.
last evening DR.. Hollister furnished
an item of news for the press, but it
was an expensive one for him. He
left horse and buggy standing in
front of a Ninth street residence while
he went in to visit a patient, but the
horse became frightened and ran
away, totally demolishing the buggy,
leaving nothing intact about it except
the front wheels. Fortunately the
doctor had taken his little daughter
out of the buggy before going inside
the house, else the child might have
been seriously injured.
An old gentleman by the name of
Otfutt, who has resided on Trout creek
in Crook county for about 25 years, was
found dead in a pasture near his house
one day last week, apparently having
been dragged to death by the horse he
had been riding. When found he had
probably been dead for several days,
as three horses that he had evidently
fastened in corral the day of his
death had starved to death. He lived
in an out of the way place, which ac-
counts for none of his neighbors hav-
ing discovered his death sooner.
While The Dalles has not anywhere
near the number of manufacturing es-
Establishments it should have, still it has
a few that are worthy of mention, and
which keep thousands of dollars here
that would go away. Take for instance
the Columbia brewery. That establish
ment keeps an immense amount of
money that would go abroad for beer
if there were no brewery here, and be-
sides gives employment to quite
force of men. What that establish
ment is doing for The Dalles is SAM
pie of what other manufacturing es-
tab blishments would do.
No better opportunity will ever be
offered for securing desirable city
than the sale of lots which
begins tomorrow. Some 10 lots be-
longing to the city will be offered at
auction, and whether one desires to
purchase home or~wishes to invest
his money for speculation, he can find |
no better opportunity than this. The
Totes are all well located, and many of
them require no improving but are
ready to begin building on. Real es-
tate in the city is now down to bed
rock and every lot will be sold at
bargain. The sale will take place III
front of the council chambers.
THE WOOL MARRET.
1t Has Not Yet Opened and Prices Are |
Still uncertain.
A representative of large wool |
house was in The Dalles |
the other day. and when asked what |
the outlook for wool was this year, re-
marked that il was one of the uncer-
tainties. "Nobody," he said, "can
this early tell what wool will start at,
or what the ruling price will be during
the season. Early in the season Cali |
fornia woods sold at a sharp advance |
over last years prices. The advance
was about 25 per cent, or from one and |
one-half to two cents per pound more |
than offered last year This was when
buyers believed the tariff bill would |
be rushed through congress, and would |
become law by the middle of June. |
