Wasco County Wool Raiser Offers to
Sell His Wool For the Duty

A wasco County Wool Raiser Offers to
sell His Wool For the Duty.
A prominent wool grower, who has
been engaged in the sheep business
for some ten or twelve years in this
county, speaking the other day of the
wool market, the effect OF the tariff
and the promised good prices, re-
marked that he today stood as genu-
inc phil, st. He is willing to
raise woo1, shear it off the sleeps
backs, haul it 20 miles to market, and
give it to any buyer who will pay him
within half cent of the duty imposed
upon foreign wool of the same grade.
He don't want anything for raising,
shearing and hauling the clip in, all
he asks is just what the foreign grower
would have to pay for the privilege of
Offering his wool in our markets.
This. philantrophie gentleman says
that in 189S, when there was no duty
on wool, he sold his entire clip off the
same sheep for IL cents pound, and
now that there Is du5y of II cents on
the same grade of wool, he does not
see why it should not be worth % cents,
less freight charges from here to
Eastern manufacturers. When he
sold his wool last year he was told that
the assurance of duty on wool would
raise the price of his clip to IA cents,
and when bill was passed restoring
the 1890 tariff rates it would be worth
Is cents. This, however, is more than
he wants; if he can get within half a
cent of of the duty, he will donate the
wool to any buyer who will take it, and
allow him to make all there is In the
wool at actual value.

An old Relic.

In 1893 Ross E. Winans discovered a
relic on one of the islands of the Col
umbia that connects this country
almost with the past. It was an iron
brand that was evidently used by the
Lewis & Clark party when they made
their first trip across the continent
and passed down through this country
to the ocean. The brand is an iron
box some 4x5 inches square and 23
inches deep, on one end OF which in
raised letters is this inscription, "U.
S. Capt. M, Lewis" and beneath the
lettering ia a hollow place evidently
intended for holding removable iron
type. The brand was probably used
by Louis & Clark to mark goods when
they made their memorable expedition
to the West, and likely was lost or
stolen by the Indians. When Mr..
Winans found the relic he sent it to
relatives of Capt. Clark, in Montana.
A few days ago it was returned to him,
and now he has turned it over to Capt.
J. w. Lewis for safe keeping.

Didn;t Know ItW.s Loaded.


This morning Charles Sandoze took
down his shotgun to shoot chicken
for dinner, and thinking there were
no loads in the piece placed the thumb
of his right hand over the muzzle and
proceeded to snap the hammers in
order to show his wife how the thing
worked. And it worked to perfection,
so far as its power to explode cart
ridge was concerned. The gun hap
pened to be loaded and sent a charge
of shot through his thumb, decorating
it badly. He came to town at once and
had DIR. Hollister remove what was
left of the thumb, as the member could
be of no further use to him. The doc
tor removed the the injured member
at the first joint. Mr.. Sandoz display
ing extra good grit in refusing to take
anything to deaden the pain, submit
ting to the operation without the use
of anaesthetics.

MISTAKEN FOR BRYAN.

Crowd In Wioming.

How a New York Drummer Fooled q
Crowd In wioming.
J.H. Mcknight, we'll known New
York travelling man, who was in the
city the other day, told of how he played
a Wyoming crowd and passed himself
off for Mr.. Bryan. In appearance Mr..
Mcknight very much resem bles the
distinguished orator, and at glance
could easily be mistaken for him.
While crossing the continent the first
of July he occupied car in one section
of train that was carrying Mr.. Bryan,
though he was ON the first section
while Mr.. Bryan was on the third,
which was an hour behind. When the
first section pulled into Rollins, there
was a great crowd at the station, end
Mr.. Mcknight stepped to the rear
platform to see the mass of people.
No sooner did he emerge from the car
than wild shout went up for Bryan.
accompanied by demands for speech.
MIR. Mcknight in an instant realized
the mistake and proceeded to carry
out the Joke. He informed the people
that owing to having made a number
of speeches that morning he was un-
able to talk, but would be pleased to
shake hands with all the ladies present.
The throng gathered around him,
shaking his hand heartily, and for
half an hour he was the lion of the oc-
casion. Never before had he realized
the pleasures of popularity, and he en-
joyed the occasion highly. After his
train left Rollins the people dispersed.

A Fine Mill.

From parties in from Boyd we learn
that M. J. Cockerline is pushing the
work along on the improvements to
his flour mill property, and will have
everything in shape TO start up by the
first of September. His new ditch is
working splendidly and from the mas
sive stone foundations put in for the
new building and power plant, it is
evident that there can never be delay
or poor work from lack of steadiness
in machinery or from breakdowns-a
very important point.
Mr.. Cockerline states that this
change was made imperative by his
rapidly increasing trade and that in
the past he has been compelled to turn
away large precsntage for lack of
capacity, but that in the future he will
be glad to see all old customers and as
many new ones as possible, assuring
them that he is now prepared to serve
them promptly no matter how fast
they come. Although his flour has
held an envlable reputation, ne Will
do still better and furnish an article
inferior to none in the state. This
mill has always been a standby of the
farmers in an exchange business, and
it is greatly to the farmers interest
that the mill is conducted in the way
it has been, and we are glad to note
the foregoing improvements as sign
that the benefits are mutual and that
the mill will be better able than ever
to meet the peoples demands on it.
AS such interests are very valuable
in building up the country back of The
Dalies, we give it this extended notice
and trust that the farmers will give 1t
the loyal support it has earned and
gaeatly deserved, and wish it success
in it's extended field of operations.

After that scene had passed, Mrs

the defendants hair and very nearly
scalped him before her hands could be
loosed.
After all this the justice found there
was no evidence to warrant peace

order that Terwadow should not go
upon the premises of the complaining
witnesses or molest. them in any
manner whatever.

Want to Come to Oregon.

Ephraim Diernard, representative
of the Hebrew Agricultural Society of
the United States, has written the gov
error, saying that he has large num-
ber of persons belonging to the society
who are desirous of locating on gov
ernment lands in Oregon. He says,
further, that these people are all citi-
zens of the United States. and that
they are experienced farmers, and
every one of them Is ekilled in some

would never be regretted by them.

Maseo County Needs Advertising.


If any section, blessed with ali the
natural resources for producing wealth
and comfortably supporting a large
population, ever kept its light more
securely hid under bushel than has
Wasco county, it has not yet been
heard of. Producing as we do nearly
! million bushels of wheat, car load
after car load of choice fruit, thousands
OF head of beef, mutton and millions of
pounds of wool, the outside world
knows nothing of our resources. Our
wheat goes into market as the product
of Walia Walla, our meat, fruit and wool
simply as Eastern Oregon products,
and our salmon, some of it at least, is
labled, simply as "Columbia river
salmon" No wonder when residents
of the city visit the older states and
mention the fact that they are from
The Dalles, they are asked "What
suburb of Portland is The Dalles?" or
whereabouts in the Willamette or
Sacramento valleys is The Dalles To-
cated?"
The fact is the outside world knows
little or nothing of Wasco county or of
the city at the head of navigation on
the Columbia. The outside world is
not cognizant of the fact that Wasco
county with something over 1000 in
habitants is capable of supporting
quarter of a million people and furnish
ing them comfortable homes.
Recognizing this fact, the Times
Mountaineer has determined to issue
an illustrated edition on or about the
1st of Januaay next, in which will ap-
pear articles descriptive of every re-
source of the county. 1t will also con-
tain illustrations of all the principal
buildings and scenery in the county.
All the engravings and mechanical
work will be first class, and it will be
publication which, any one can with
pride send to his friends abroad.
Messrs. Arnhold and Snyder have
been engaged to solici. patronage for
this illustrated edition, and any favors
shown them will be duly appreciated
by the Times-Mountaineer.

gated about $4,000 bushels, 10000 of
which sold at IS cents and 30. 900 at lit.

The Homestead Exemption Law Sustained
Among the decisions handed down
by the supreme court in Pendleton
Saturday was one in the case of Nc
Kennon VS.. American Fire Insurance
Company, garnisbee. The main point
in the case is that of sustaining the
Validity of the homestead exemption
law passed at former session of the
legislature. The appeal grew out OF
the Cotner insurance case. McKen-
non garnisheed the insurance company
for debt owed by Cotner and the COM
pany refused to pay OF the grounds
that the amount of the policy, about
$500, was exempt from execution.
The homestead exemption act pro-
vides that free holder may claim ex-
emption to the amount of 81 500.
Nearly all the circuit courts of the
state have decided that the law is in
operative, but the supreme court has
now affirmed the validity of the act.--

LIFE BOAT PICKED UP.

New York, March 23.-Life boat No.
3, of the missing steamer Vile de st.
Nazarine, that was picked up at sea
by the steamer Creole and brought
to this port, was the one from which
the schooner Hilda recently took the
four survivors who are now in New
York hospitals. When the Hilda took
out the living freight the life boat,
containing five cOrpses, was permit
ed to drift and was afterwards sight
ed by the Creole. When that steamer
came into port and told her story it
was supposed that she had found an
other of the life boats IN which the
passengers had left the sinking st.
Nazaire, Capt. Berri, however, who
was one of those rescued by the Hilda,
stated positively that the boat from
which he had been taken was No. 3.
A baby's black sock found in the life
boat by the Creoles officers was iden-
titled by Juan de Dios Tejada, anoth-
er of the survivors las that of his baby,
who died in the boat. He has the other
sock under his pillow in the hospital
where he lies recovering.
