Raised the Insurance.

Intense indignation is felt among
those who haye sons in service, owing
to the fact that certain insurance com.
panies have raised 10 per cent on
policies held by volunteers going to
the front.
One angry father declared today
that it was nothing less than robbery;
that the insurance companies were
taking advantage of the soldiers
patriotism, who were serving their
country, to extort extra premiums.
He showed Tlegram reporter a
letter which informed him
that owing to added risks, his son, who
was in the service, would have to
pay an extra premium of 10 per cent.
1t would be deducted from the in
terest or the party could send the ex-
trs amount with the payment as they
fell due.-Portland Telegram.

The Crook County journal, very

fully says; "The Office of circuit judge
is and should be strictly non-partlsan,
but the candidate should be competent

The Journal has correct view re-

should be competent, to form

OF course candidates for judicial

Red, White and Blue Party.

Yesterday afternoon the members of
the Ladies Aid Society of the Congre-
gational church, and number of in
yited guests, were entertained by
s1esdames o. c. Hollister, S. Frazier
and E. o. Mccoy, at the latter's resi-
dence. The hallway was beautifully
decorated in national colors, flags,
bunting. etc., while the handsome
parlors were profuse with flowers and
red, white and blue ribbons and
drapery. An excellent musical pro-
gram was rendered by some of the
best talent of the city. Among the
numbers was piano duet by Misses
Schmidt and Georgia Sampson; a
vocal duet by Mesdames Huntington
and Groat, and vocal solos by Mrs.
Della M. Woodwork, Misses Hattie
Cram and Maie Cushing. Prof. Ryan
and 81. D. Parkins entertained the
guests with several selections on the
mandolin and guitar. At the conclu-
sion of the program, ice cream and
cake were served, and general conver-
sation INDUCED in. A most pleasant
afternoon was spent, and all came
away with best wishes to the enter
tainers, and a feeling of renewed pat
riotism, for the beautiful national
colors, red, white and blue, were pre-
dominant.

During the past seven years there
has been fewer cases appealed from
the circuit court in the seventh dis
trict than any other district in the
state, and of the cases appealed the
circuit court has been sustained
oftener than it has been reversed.
This is undisputahle evidence that
the judge of the seventh district has
in general been right in rendering
legal decision. A court that as rule
follows the law so closely that appeals
from his decisions are seldom taken is
usually right, for attorneys will not
allow wrong decisions to stand, and
one that runs the crusical test of the
supreme court and is sustained oftener
than he is reversed, must be very
nearly perfect in his knowledge of
law. When such a judge is found it
Is to the interest of litiganUs that he
be retained on the bench.

Yukon Steamers to Throw Away.

One hundred and twenty new
steamers and barges, mostly steamers,
for Yukon river service this season,
are now in sight, including 10 built at
Tacoma, 40 at Seattle and Ballard, 10
at Dutch Harbor with many others on
the lower Sound, Portland, California,
and over 20 shipped out from the east.
AS far as known there will be
enough business for about one-third of
these members. Navigators believe
some of them will be lost en- route to

OF being stranded on the Yukon's
shores during the summer for want of
pilots familiar with the river where it

Fort Yukon and Circle. Established
companies have this part of the river
divided into sections with a native
pilot for each SO or 60 miles, who do
nothing but study its channel. The
new steamers will not have this ad-
vantage.

Short Crops.

Many have thought that the present
high price Of wheat is due almost en-
tirely 20 speculation. But it appears
from the monthly report OF the statis-
tical bureau at Washington that it is
largely due to shortage Ct crop.
According to this report, the wheat
crop last year was only 2,l39, $40, 1888
bushels, as agairst 2,490, 497, 600 in
1895. 2,546, ,494 900 in 1895 and 2.676,-

United States last year was greater
than at any time since 1888, but there
was . great shortage in European
countries. Letter did not make high
priced wheat, but simply sailed into

HOW 1T WAS DONE.
N. Y. Journals Account of the Bonn
bardment of SANTIAGO

| N. Z. Journals Account OF the Bonn.
bardment of Santiago.
NEW YORK, June IAN Evening
Journal special from Cape Haytien
says: The torpedo-boat Porter arrived
at Mole St. Nicholas, at o'clock this
morning with dispatches for Wash
ington. She left Immediately. Before
going to sea, the following story
of the bombardment of Santiago was
obtained:
The American squadron, augmented
by the torpedo-boat Porter and an
auxiliary cruiser and the protected
cruiser New Orleans, approached the
entrance to the harbor of Santiago at
about 1890 P. M, the Iowa leading.
Inside the entrance to the harbor was
seen one warship of CerYera's fleet,
stripped for action. AS the American
fleet drew near, the New Orleans was
detached and steamed ahead of the
Iowa, Texas, ana Massachusetts.
One of the forts opened on her, and she
replied, the other ships directing their
fire at the battery on Punta Corda
within the harbor and to the westward
of the position occupied by the Spanish
ship. The latter replied to the fire
and Immediately became target for
all the American ahips engaged in
the battle. She retired behind the
protecting headlands and was not seen
again during the engagement.
The Iowa, directed by CAPTAIN
"FightiDg Bob" Evans; the Mass
achusetts, Texas and New Orleans,
kept up terrific fire against the forts |
for two hours, their projectiles,o of enor-
nous size, doing tremendous damage |
to the defenses of the harbor.
The masonry of Socapa and Moro
was battered almost into dust and the
forms of Spanish artillery and infantry
men could plainly be seen flying to
safety behind neighboring hills.
The auxiliary cruiser which joined
Schley's feet just before the battle
took place, was hit by shells from the
forts and it is thought was seriously
damaged. After seeking the protection
Of the iutting headland, the Spanish
continued to fire projectiles
oyer the hills towards the feet, but
they had no range, and the shells fell |
harmlessly into the sea- That the
number of wounded and killed on the
Spanish side is enormous, no one
doubts, for time and again the
American shells hit the battries |
spuarely, and amid the flying masonry |
and dismantled guns, the forms of |
men we're seen. The damage done to |
the American feet cannot be learned,
but it is not thought that any person
was killed, if indeed, any one was

WRECKED OFF CAPE FLArTERY.

Ben snipes jr. Thought to Have Been
Drowned.
A report has been received that the
Alaska bound schooner Jane Grey,
which left Seattle for Katz zbure sound
with party Of 81 prospectors, has
been wrecked of cape Flattery. Ben
Snipes, jr., who is we'll known in this
city, having spent his childhood days
here, was one of the party, and it is
thought he was lost. Out of the 81
passengers "a were drowned. Just
before the vessel went down
Ben was seen standing on the deck,
and since then nothing has been
heard from him. His uncle, Geo.
Snipes, of this city, received dispatch
today stating that in all probability
Ben was one of the unfortunates lost.
This is very sad indeed for he was an
only child and a favorite among
those who knew him. He was an ex-
ceptionally bright young man, and
one who had many friends in The
Dalles who will be grieved to learn of
his sad fate,
