Portland, Aug. S.--J. c. Hildebrand,
newspaper advertising solicitor, for
the past year in the employ of the Ore
goniau, was found dead this morning in
the front yard of his lodging-houso
at2l2 Seventh street, cornor of Salmon.
His neck was broken, and appearance
indicates that he had fallen from the
banister or railing of the veranda in
such manner as to produces this re-
suit.
The exact manner OF Hildebrand's
death is not known, and can only be
submitted. He left the Oregonian
counting-room, as had been his habit,
about IL o'clock last night. He was at
the Hotel Belvedere an hour later, and
that was the last seen Of him alive.

DON'T APPLY TO CUBA.

One of the dearest rights accorded
to the people by ;he United States
constitution is the freedom of speech
and press. This has never been de-
during the war of the rebellion was it
curtailed. The right of the people to
criticise public acts and public meu
has been one of the safeguards of the
republic, and has aided materially in
preventing corruption and fraud in
public positions. But this privilege
seems not to be accorded our new
found subjects in Cuba 1--WE say sub.
jects, for 1t is evidently the intention
of the powers that be to make them
such). Freedom of speech does not
apply to them.
Ell Reconcentrado, paper published
in Havana, that had the bravery to
criticise the manner in which the
municipal government is conducted,
was by order of General Ludlow sup
pressed on July 31st. The editor and
manager of the paper are now en- route
to Washington to lay their complaints
before the administration, and they
have published statement concern
ing the affair, in which it is said:
''In order that the paper might be
suppressed the editor and staff were
threatened with arrest and imprison-
ment. Though the editors and few
members of the staff escaped imprison-

HOW THEY LEFT FRISCO.
Oregon Boys Given a Rousing Farewell
by the Bay City.

Oregon Boys Given a Rousing Farewell
by the Bay City.
A San Francisco dispatch of the 9th
gives this account Of the departure OF
the Ore yon egiment from that city:
The Oregon fighters are gone. This
afternoon they marched through the
streets to the depot. cheered by thous
ands along the line. 1t was splendid
ovation and memorable farewell to
the men who first stood oy Old Glory
in Luzon.
Whats the matter with 'Frisco?'
"She's all right, you bet. every
time!'' said the volunteers every block.
Then 'Friscu's thousands would return
tie greeting which was continuous from
the Presidio to the ferry. Market
street fairly swarmed with people.
Utah and Nebraska men escorted the
boys to the train and a military band
played lively airs on the way.
About $50 men left on three special
trains, the first leaving Oakland pier
at 3:20 o'clock, the second 10 minutes
later and the third at o'clock. They
will keep that distance apart, II pos
sible all the journey.
General Summers said before leav-
ing:
1.-THE Oregon volunteers can never
forget, and will always bear in mind
the kindness extended TO them by the
people of San Francisco. Everything
possible has been done for our we'll
fare. All doors have been open to US
and we have been received with the
greatest courtesy.
II am particularly gratifed that
every man of the Oregon regiment has
conducted himself as gentleman
should. None of them has marred our
brief stay here, and there has been no
abuse of any trust placed upon an Ore
gonian. Oregon will not forget what
San Francisco has done for this regi-
ment."

Yields of the fields are mnch better
than has been expected sao ed and lss5s there re
wheat for export this fall in the
county. Wheat has been grown in
this county in great quantities for
twenty years, and during all OF tnat
time there has never been failure,
and in no year has the yield fell below
an average of Is bushels to the acre and
usually it has been above 20 bus bushels, els.
been as high as 25 bushels. Time has
proven Umatilla county to possess the
greatest wheat soil on earth and that
from it the cereal can he produced at
less expense per bnshel than In any
part of the globe. Thirty cents per
busbel will more than cover the cost
of producing wheat in this county and
this figure allows very liberal rate OF
interest on the capital represented by
the value of the land and all necessary
improvements.

The recent discussion in the papers
of the effect upon the human system of
food made with alum baking powders
and the opinions that have been pub.
lished from noted scientists to the ef-
feet that such powders render the food
unwholesome, have caused numerous
Inquiries for the names of the various
alum powders.

containing alum is made up from the
reports of State Chemist Nicholson
of Nebraska, the City Chemist of ST.

In addition to these, it is learned
that many grocers are selling what
they call their own private or special

the grocer and his name put upon the
labels by manufacturers of alum pow
ders 10 st. Louis, Chicago, Kansas
City, Tacoma, San Francisco and else
where. The manufacturers, 1t Is said,
find their efforts to market their goods
in this way greatly aided by the am.
bition OF the grocer to sell a powder
with his own name upon the label, es-
pecially when the grocer can make an
abnormal profit upon it. Many gro

powders they are thus pushing are alum

1t is quite impossible to give the
names OF all the alum baking powders
in the market. They are constantly
appearing in all sorts of disguises, un-
der all kinds of cognomens, and at all

ten cents pound. They can be avoid
ed, however, by the housekesper who
will bear in mind that all baking pow.

as pure cream of tartar baking powders
cannot be produced at anything like
this price.

A Well Known House.

The Umatilla House is one of the
best known hostleries on the Pacific
coast, for although it has been obliter.
ated by fire few times. it has always
been rebuilt and maintained its ideh-
tity for over 40 years, and besides has
been the headquarters for the travel
ing public when in The Dalles, hence
it is not surprising that people of this
coast all know where 1. Is located.
But it is hardly to be expected that
hotel in a city OF 5000 inhabitants,
away out in the Western wilds, would
be so we'll known abroad that letter
addressed to it at Dallas, Texas, would
ever reach its destination, but such is
the case. A few days ago letter was
delivered here to L. Coster, that had
been mailed at New York, and was ad-
dressed as follows:

Dwelling House Burned.

About noon today small dwelling
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Nichols,
on Twelfth and Union streets, was
discovered to be ON fire, and before as
sistance could get there was consumed.
The flames spread so rapidly that very
little of the furniture was saved. On
the first alarm of fire the Mt. Hood g
turned out and got water from the
plug on Eleventh street, and by their
prompt action saved Mr.. Nichols new
cottage, which had just been COM
pleted, and which was only a short
distance from the house that was
burned.
The fire originated from stove pipe
running through the roof, and was an
accident that would have been averted
had the fire warden enforced the ordi-
nance against running stove pipes
through roofs. If the fire warden
were to enforce this ordinance strictly,
there would be less danger of acci-
dental fires.

Several rich samples of gold bearing
rock taken from points within the city
limits and farther afield have been
brought in to Messrs. Sinclair assay
ers and mining experts who are in
town for short time. There were
eight different lots tested, and in five
out of the eight gold was found. Two
samples in particular yielding gold
values $3l 40.1OO and S25 80-100 per ton
respectively. Some very rich phor-
phory ore has been taken from we'll
on the southwest side of the city Civ
ing out gold and platina, over 800 per
ton. There is no little excitement
about in mining circles over the latter
find and a deal is likely to be con.
sumated. A company may be formed
here to erect and work smelter, on
custom work shortly.
Mining has been neglected in this
town; there is little need to go far
away from it to find rich ores that will
pay handsomely and turn the place in
to busy mining camp.
Messrs. Sinclair will be found up till
Saturday at F. Drew's barber shop on
Second street. Samples on exhibition.

HOSTILITIES ARE
RESUMED
Macarthur Engages the
Insurgents.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-Geuera
Otis confirms the report of battle Al
San Fernando in the following cable
gram:
Observation-Disclosures, with 1000
men, attacked the insurgent army,
5000 strong concentrated around San
Fernando, at $40 this morning. At
10 O'Clock a. m. he had driven it five
miles in the direction of Angeles.
Casualties few. The attack was or
dered for the 7th instant; rain did not
permit the movement at that lime.
The railroad from Angeles north is
badly washed by unprecedent floods of
the last six weeks, and it is beyond
the ability of the insurgents to repair
it".
Details OF MacArthur's advance be-
yond San Fernando showed the Amer
leans covered five miles the first five
hours and at 2 o'clock had advanced
60 miles along the railway stretching
on each side of it for two miles and
resting at night three miles from
Angeles which will be made the base
OF operations instead of San Fernando
where garrison of 900 men have been
left. The casualties are between 80
and 40.
F'ilipinos were surprised, expecting
the American forces to move against
Tico. They followed their usual
tactics of holding their trenches until
they became too warm and then re-
treating in disorder. They are now
falling back through Porice. The
Twelfth and Seventeenth regiments
had the sharpest engagements. The
country is covered with rice fields and
bamboo thickets, the hardest possible
ground for marching. Mud in places
was knee.deep.
Angeles is one of the richest towns
north of Manila and is consisered a
better base of operations than San
Fernando. Movement has been plan.
ned for some time but was delayed by
rains. Finally two days of sunshine
dried the rice fields sufficiently to per-
nit the attempt. Americana position
had long been unpleasant. Rebels
almost surrounded the town and fired
nightly into it, the Americans not re-
plying except on extreme provocation.
It was necessary to keep 500 or 600
men on out post duty constantly.

The Tacoma Grand jury.

TACOMA, Aug. 9.-The grand jury,
the first called in Pierce county in sew
eral years, now in its third weeks
sesoion, created surprise this morning
by visiting police headquarters in a
body and investigating offices, cells
and book. Later the chief of police,
mayor and prominent merchants of the
city were called as witnesses before the
body. 1t is believed something sem
sational will happen.
The grand jury has already indicted
several somewhat prominent men on a
charge of being implicated in the late
series of robberies which the police
are powerless to prevent and fail to Sc
cure the arrest of the offenders.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Next Monday the sheriff will offer
the 1897 tax roll for sale. The amount
due on this roll is something over
$1,000. If the property advertised is
sold the owners will be required to pay
20 per cent above the purchase price to
redeem it. 1t therefore behooves all who
can to pay the taxes before the date OF
the sale.
Democratic voters will write the
platform of 1900 without the assistance
of the republicans who are now SO act
lively Offering suggestions, and they
will also nominate their candidate for
president. If it is deemed expedient
to again reiterare the Chicago platform
ami nominate W. J. Bryan, it will
be done without asking permission of
the republican bosses.
Now that the volunteers are back
from the Philippines and are begin
ming to mingle amohg the people,
clearer idea of what the islands are aad
what will be required to subdue the
natives will be gained. The volunteers
are intelligent men capable of judging
of what they saw in the islands, hence
can give very clear ideas of what kind
of box the government has got into
by undertaking to expand.
Oregon has done itself credit in the
reception it has given thesreturning
volunteers, and the hearty greeting
extended to the men will ever be kind
ly remembered by them. But these
greetings are only temporary; they
will not sustain life nor provide for
future happiness. What will next be
needed by the returning soldiers is
employment. Most of them left good
positions to enter the service. Will
they get them back after the excite

them has died out? If the people

Good Yield for This Year.

Taylor Bros, who own farm in
Dry hollow, near town, have finished
threshing their wheat and begun de-
livering it to the Wasco warehouse.
The wheat lie of an exceptionally good
quality, going above the standard for
No. l, weighing 81 pounds to the bus
hel, and the berry is just as plump and
firm as any wheat could be. Their
field averaged % bushels TO the acre,
which is heavier yield than they
harvested last year. L
This is one of the first crops harvest
ed this season, and the yield is far
above what the owners expected, and
it is probable that many other farmers
will be similarity surprised when they
harvest their crops. While there has
unquestionably been considerable
damage done the crop by the hot
weather, there will still be fair har-
vest throughout the country.
