TO SUBSCRIBERS.

During the past two years OF
extreme dull times the Times
Mountaineer has been sent reg
ularly to great many who nc
doubt appreciate the paper, but
who have not been called upon
for a settlement of their sub
scription. During those years
we have endeavored to keep the
paper going without calling up
on delinquents, knowing that
money was difficult to get; but
now that times have improved
we feel that our patrons should
not only settle all arrearages:
but pay their subscription one
wear in advance. We have trust
ed many of you one and two
years, and feel that a return OF
the compliment is due. You
are therefore urgently requested
to pay up back subscriptions and
one year in advance, which Wlli
entitle you to the Times-Moun
taineer and the Webfoot Planter
one year as a premium.

they WANT AN oUrLEr.
Fossil People Anxious for Closer Rela-
tions With The Dailes.

A petition is being circulated in
Fossil, Mayville and Condor, asking
the county court to appoint commit
tee of three to confer with a like com
mittee from Sherman county, to ex-
anime the proposed bridge site and Sc
lect site near the mouth of Thirty
mile, on The Dalles Fossil road, and to
report as to probable cost.
The petition states that the bridge
will be built principally by private
subscriptions. but under the joint su-
parvision of Gillian and Sherman
county courts.
We understand that Jos. Sherar.
who is to build the road on the Sher-
man county 81 'e of the river for $1,000,
already subscribed by the people of
The Da'les, offers to build a substan-
tial bridge for $500. This week a
subscription list was circulated in F'os-
s;l for the bridge, ard $500 was sub
sc.ibed. There will be no difficulty in
raising an; ther hundred in Fossil. and
several hundred dollars in the other
portions of the county interested. l.

J. l.. Gilman has for some time had n
standing Offer of 800 ~ go toward tn"
bridge Lending citizens of Sherman
county have sent word to Fossil that
they are anxious for the onenine OF the
road, and that Sherman county resi-
dents will raise as much by private
as those of Gillian county |
will. A petition similar to the one out
in this county is being circulated in |

The people of Fossil and vicinity are
exercising coed Judgment in taking
this matter in hand. for The Dalles is
,he natural outlet for them, because of
many reasons. The southern part of
Gillian county l. largely engaged in
WOOL raising, and since The Dalles is
he best wool market on the coast, it is
o the advantage of the people of that
ection to be able to reach this point
Then on all merchandise they are re-
Iuired to import they can get better
reight rates here than at any other

Near Rowcna.
An accident occurred at $3.50 yester-
day afternoon about 500 yards this eide
of tunnel No. on the D. r. & N. line,
that resulted in the death of John
Joyce and the crippling of Tom Car
roll and S. Malcolm. A gang of men
were working loading gravel cars
under high perpendicular bluff,
when all of sudden several tons of
rock above the men gave way, and
came down on the men without warn
ing Mr.. Joyce was caught under the
rock and was killed Instantly, while
Carroll was injured about the head
and left leg, and Molcolm had his hips
and back hurt by the falling rock.

We, the jury empanneled by J. M.
Filloon, acting coroner of Wasco
county, Oregon, to sit in an inquet up.
on the facts surrounding the death of
person whose body is now before Us,
after having listened to the testimony
given by the different witnesses called
and sworn, find as follows:
That the name of the deceased was
John Joyce, native of Ireland of
the age of about fifty or sixty years,
and so far as we are able to learn, was
single man at the time of his death
and probably has sister living in San
Francisco, Cal.
That the accident which caused his
death happened on the Both day of De-
aember, 1897, at or near tunnel No. 81
on the line of the o. r. & N. Co. in
Wasco county, Oregon.
That the accident which caused his
death was due to rocks falling from a
bluff, under which he was working,
and rock or rocks falling on him and
causing instant death.

It Is Now Found Necessary to Preserve
the King of Beasts in India.
British hunters of large game are
bitterly lamenting the gradual extinc-
tion of lions in India.
They are no longer found there in
any number outside of one region, the
forest of Cir, in Kathiawar, says an
English exchange. They have disap-
peared from the hills of Barda, the
country of Pajkot, and other places
which formerly enjoyed a high reputa-
tion on account. of the abundance of
lions in them.
In the forest of Cir it is feared that
their extinction will not be long de-
layed. Formerly few European hunt
ers dared to venture into this place,
which was infested with fevers and
bandits. Now the forest is being
cleared and fevers and bandits are dis
and with them the lions.
To prevent the total extinction of
these animals the durbar of Kathiawar
has prevented the hunting of them for
80 ves-.
