These were locked up in the same way.
At the end of the route an empty car
and locomotive were placed at the dis
posal Of the police, and they started OIL

car which had distinguishing chalk
mark on the door and transferred the
imprisoned tramps to their car. Two
patrol wagons which were in waiting
at Baldwin avenue transferred the pris
oners to the Oakland Avenue station.
Acting Police Justice Macs committed
30 of the prisoners to the county Jail fcr
80 days. One Of them, William Mackey,
threatened to get square with the judge
and was sent to the penitentiary for six
months. Two of the prisoners convinced

sional tramps and were discharged. -

G. E. Stowe, the capital sweep,
who has been iI the city for some time
past, but leaves tonight for Pendleten,
is man with history that is of in
terest. Mr.. Stowe claims to be, and
no doubt is, the first white man born in
California. His parents came around
the horn with General John Sutter in
1888, arriving in San Francisco bay
July, 1888, and went with the general
to the present site of Sacramento,
where he built fort.
Mr.. Stowe was born at the fort in
1S40, So years ago. According to Mr..
Stoves account of his life, his father
died in 1873, leaving fortune of $780,
600 TO three children and the mother.
The present chimney sweep was some
what reckless, and soon went through
his portion of the estate by riotous
living. When his money had vanish
ed, helearned to clean chimneys, and
by this calling has accumulated a COM
potency amounting to $4,000 in cash
and 1000 in real estate.
The Native Sons of California look
ed up Mr.. Stoves antecedence, and
recently granted him pension of $50
q month, which he says he receives in
quarterly installments. This Mr..
Stowe is putting away for the future,
and he expects to retire to a life Of
ease and comfort this fall.

The Dalles will Celebrate

Monday meeting OF The Dalles
Commercial and Athletic Club was
held for the purpose of arranging for
celebrating the coming Fourth of July,
and it was unanimously voted that a
celebration be held, The first matter
to be considered in a celebration
being the necessary funds for meeting
the expenses, President Blakeley
appointed a committee consisting of G.
F. Stephens, H. c. Liebe and Andrew
Keller, whose duty it is TO raise money.
Dalles citizens are enthusiastic over
celebrating the national anniversary,
and are determined that July 4th, 1898,
shall be more appropriately cele-
brated than any past anniversary OF
the nation. The committee inter.
viewed ten business men and secured
a donation of $3.50 within few hours.
Their purpose is to raise 81 900 for
celebration purposes, and from appear
ance it will be a difficult matter to
keep the donation within that limit.
Dalles people are like those who want
to volunteer to fight Spain, They want
to contribute literally to the celebra-
tion fund.

A Large Audience Listened to King and

Assem- bled to listen to Hor. Will R.

S. E. Van Vactor, chairman OF the

who in Introduced Miss Sovereign as the
frst speaker # the e:a1ing. Miss
Sovereign liz a feW Jleasant re-
marks concerning the interest her sex
feels in the present contest of pluto
cracy against thu masses, and the de-
pressing influence the operations of the
gold standard bas on American women.
Mr.. King was next introduced, and
at once entered into brief discussion
of the paramount issue, the money
question, then devoted short time to
the administration of state affairs,
giving q clear statement of the extrav.
agances that have occurred during
past years. Mr.. King was greeted by
ringing applauses throughout his ad-
dress, showing that his audience was
in close accord with him.
When Mr.. Sovereign was introduc-
ed, be was given a perfect ovation. He
was very hoarse, but warming up tohis
subject, his voice came to him. and he
was able to explain to the satisfaction
of all, wherein the gold standard is
detrimental to the best interests of the
producer, and wherein the free coin
age of silver would result in better
prices for all products of labor. Mr..
Sovereign kept his hearers in good
humor for nearly two hours. and the
argument he submitted was undisput-
able. He is unquestionably a deeI
reasoner, and one who has the faculty
of presenting facts in manner that
can be understood by all.
