cars on the track at the time, and what
might have been a terrible accident,
terminated with no other loss than that
of the car itself. This is the first acci-

| the building of the road.
T. Allen McQuary, the modern Don
Quixote who is on his strange ride for a
bride, left this place Thursday on horse
back for Missouri, which trip he will
be forced to make by Oct. 10, or lose
the wager of $4,000 and an Arkansas
girl. He has no doubts as to his being
able to make the trip in the time stated,
and says that while he would not make
the trip again for the $4,000, still he
would not give the experience he had
during the last year for that amount.
Tomorrow another opportunity will
be given the people of The Dalles to
spend the day in the Cascades, as we'll as
enjoy the beautiful scenery between
here and Multnomah Falls for the ex-
tremely low price of so cents. This
offer oD the part of the o. r. & N. gives
the people a choice of such resorts as
Hood River, Cascade Locks, Bonneville
and Multnomab, at which they can
spend the day, and as a special car will
be run for the convenience of the excur-
sioniats, no one need fear that they will
be uncomfortable going or coming on
account of lack of accommodations.
Mrs. David Steel has presented the
Portland museum with a collection of
photographs of all the Modoc Indians
who took a prominent part in the mas
sacre of General Candy and DIR. Thomas,
one OF the tragic incidents of the Modoc
war of 1928. Also a number of stor-
eoptican views of the lava beds and
caves where the savages had their
strongholds. Such photographs were
common twenty-five years ago, but it is
doubtful if many sets of them are in ex-
istence now, and the collection present
ed by Mrs. Steel is worthy of being
framed and preserved as relic of by
gone days.
q Yesterday Victor Sampson, who works
in Donnell's drug store, was printing
pictures and left frame in which he
was printing in the sun at the rear of
the drug. On returning the frame
wag gone, and dlligent search led to
the belief that some one had stclen it.
1 One of the men who were working near
sthe light house noticed a squaw hiding
some articles near the building, and
npon investigation found the frame
among her belongings, returned it to
Wick. The holder contained negative
of L. D. Gates and DR.. Levans, of Cas-
cades, and which of the two gentlemen
she desired picture of is question to
be decided.
In short time the burned buildings
will be replaced by large and more mag
nlfcent structures than those destroyed.
Mr.. Cunning is already making prepa-
rations to build new blacksmith shop
on the lot formerly occupied by the
secondhand store. The building will
be of wood, covered with corrugated
iron. It is alec expected that Mays &
Grove will soon follow with a splendid
brick store on the corner where their
old one was located. It is safe to say
that it will not be long before fine fire.
proof structures will be under course of
construction on the lots where the other
buildings were situated.
The announcement is made at Van
couver on what is considered the best
authority that the Portland. Vancouver
& Yakima Railway Company is com
