Ely Wins the Shoot.

Sunday was an ideal day for the
various events which were to take
place in this city. The weather was
right down to business for the first
time since early in the spring.
The special train arrived here at
about 11:30 from the Mesaba range
and on board were a large number OF
excursionists. admirers of The ball
team and gun clubs, and sght-seers.
Many of the range people also came to
visit relatives and friends.
After dinner. the gun clubs opened
the festivities at their grounds with
a shoot in which Virginia, Tower and
Ely took part. The shoot proved dis
astrous for the visitors, even the in
yincible Tower team, for some UNI
accountable reason, were defeated by
the Ely club. In the club shoot be-
tween the three clubs, six men to a
side, 25 birds each at unknown angles,

A FUTURE CITY.

The Mouth OF the Columbia Must Be
the Fort of Oregon.
The changes that are almost certain
to take place in the near future in the
control of Oregon's greatest railroad
portend change in the shipping in
terests of the Northwest. Every in
dication points TO the fact that in the
near future the Union Pacific will
gain control of the Oregon Short Line
and Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Co lines, and that the three systems
will be merged into one. 1t also looks
probable that the U. P. will assume
control of the Astoria & Colum bia
road, which will give it through
line from Omaha to the Pacific ocean,
with the exception of about 40 miles
of road between Portland and Gobel.
When this change takes place it will
mean something besides the mere ac
qIisition of a number of railroad sys-
tens. 1t will mean that great rail
load terminus will be built up on the
Pacific coast just inside the mouth of
the Colum bia, which when slightly
improved will be one of the best, if

During the last few days large

relative to the damage from hot winds
of the past week to the growing crops.
While in some localities the injury
was quite extensive yet 10 most of the

Joseph Painter, of Eureka Flat,
states that he has nothing to complain
of. the winds not having done great
damage to him, and w. 81. Babcock

1t is said, however. that the greatest

5:45 Saturday evening. Linden Gar

each about IL years, were returning
from the depot on their bicycles, and
when in front of Pease & Mays store

This frightened the horses, and one of
them kicked the boy, rendering him
inseD ible.

OREGON SOLDIERS,
Acquitted Themselves With Credit IN
Forty.two Eneagements.

Acquitted Themselves With Credit In
Forty-two Engagements.
THE Oregon men have much to feel
justly proud about" said Major M.
81. Ellis, the regimental surgeon, in
speaking to a San Francisco reporter.
"They acquitted themselves admir-.
ably in every one of their az engage
ments, and it was no small honor paid
them when Lawton remarked that
they had done more actual fighting
than any other body of men in the
field"
"The splendid fighting qualities, OF
the regiment were shown LAT their fullest

] was then acting as surgeon of Wheat
on brigade, and had an opportunity
of seeing how we'll the Oregonians
acted under fire. The record shows
that 50 men were killed or wounded
and the whole story of the fight is re
plete with examples of personal brav.
cry and the highest degree of regi.
mental efficiency.
"Here fs a case in point: Private
Bollam of the hospital corps, whose
home is in Portland, went out on the
firing line regardless of storm of the
enemy's bullets and walked about as
unconcernedly as If he were 100 miles
from the nearest Filipino. On the TOP
of one of the trenches he found man
severely wounded in the head. He
raised the injured soldier to his knee
and was arranging a bandage when
a second bullet struck the wounded
man in the heart and instantly killed
him. Boiiam saw that further work
would be futile and was about to retire
when he noticed wounded soldier
near him. This was Private Hedley

Bollam hastily dressed the injury, aud
without assistance, carried the man tc

WHAT ABOUT THE WATER.
Is Not The Dalles Entitled to the Best to
BE Gad?

Be Bad?
Every year, during the heated season
there is complaint OF the quality of
water that the people of The Dalles have
Co drink, and this complaint will con.
tinue until the pure, Sparkling water is
brought direct from Mt Hood to the
city. For nine months during the
year the water supply Of TIE Dalles is
good, for the creeks are full and the
water is not contaminated by running
through fields and being used for ir.
rigation purposes before it reaches the
city, but for three months il is alb
solutely bad. 1t is filled with insects,
is warm, and is filthy, consequently un-
fit for domestic use, and Is liable to
create disease.
These are disagreeable things to
publish. yet they are true, and it de-
wolves upon every property owner in
the city, to see that they exist no
longer. That we could have an
abundant supply of pure water is cer-
able outlay of money, which means in
creased taxation. A pipe line reach
ing lS miles up Mill creek would give
US as pure water as could be found
anywhere. This would probably cost
$4,000 or $40. 900, but it would be the
best investme Mt the city has ever made,
for pure water is thing which the
people are entitled to, and which the
sanitary conditions of the place de.
Dand.
The only thirg that prevents the
w;fer commissioners from ordering
such an improvement is the matter of
expense, as they do not feel justified
in placing additional burdens upon the
people. This, however, could be met
without materially increasing the bur-
dens on property, for it could be ar
ranged so that it would fall upon The
consumers, and all would willingly
meet il in order to ge6 wholesome |
water. The total book accounts of the |
water commission, the amount due |
from consumers, for the month of |
June. was 81 ,489. rs, or at the rate of |
$l7, ,877 for the year. II the rate were |
raised % per cent it would increase the |
receipts some 1000 year. Suppose
a pipe line could be put in for $40, 900 |
it would require only five years to pay |
for 1t If the water rates were increased |
% per cent. The commissioners would |
probably not feel justified in making
such raise without the sanction of
the people, yet if they would put it TO
a vote, it is certain il would carry by |
majority.
Let vote be taken on the question,
and If it carries let immediate action
be taken to lay a pipe lice that will
give The DalIes pure water, direct
from Mt. Hood. Longer delay ls
for it threatens the lives of
water consumers, and indirectly
threatens the future of the city.
