PrineyIIle,s Mistake.

The town of Prinev lille has voted to
bond itself for 1000 for the purpose
of inducing Fl. V. Gates, of Hillsboro,
to erect SIS, 900 electric light plant
nd water system. and has, through its
council, passed an ordinance granting
said Gates franchise for 15 years to
operate his light and water system, the
city agreeing to pay $40, 900 rent in ad-
vance for 20 fire plugs for 10 years, and
reserving the right to condemn and
purchase both plants at the expiration
of ten years, the value to be determined
by calculating on such sum as will at
8 per cent create a sum equal to the
income of the plants for the, year pre-
vious to the condemnation. and the
$4,000 advanced as rent be a portion
of the purchase payment.
From consideration of the contract
which the town has entered into it
would seem PrineYille has made bad
bargain. Apparently it would have
been better for the town to have issued
s., 900 more bonds and owned its own
water and light plants. then whatever
profits there should be could have gone
towards paying off the bond. And
that there will be profit in the opera
tion.of the plants is evident from the
schedule of rates for light and water

Aubin Under Arrest.

j. FL. Jackson, special constable has
returned from Antelope with Joseph
Aubin, better known as Slim" one
of the parties who took a prominent
part in the recent trial of Frank For
ester, he having been with Forester
at the time he killed Mr.. Brogan. The
charge against Aubin is that he OBJ
tanned money under false pretense, he
having sold an order on the county
for witness fees, earned at last term of
circuit court. to two parties, A. Bald
win and G. M. Cornett.
Mr.. Jackson caught Aubin on Upper
Trout creek, in Crook county. He
also had warrant for Mexican,
another of the men who was with
Forester avthe time of the killing of
Brogan, who is wanted on similar
charge as that against Aubin, but
parties in Antelope notified him of
Mr.. Jackson's presence in that place
and he made good his escape.

Messrs. w. H. Wilson, Hugh Glenn,
W. Fl. Hobson and A. M. Kelsay
proved themselves royal entertainers
at the reception given the Gongrega-
tianal ladies at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Wilson last night.
About 100 guests were present and
none of the entire number could out
say that the entertainment was per-
feet in every respect. The four hosts
appeared first in costumes of sheet
and pillow Gaze, and pretended to sing,
though close observers discovered that
the music came from a quartet sta
toned outside, the window in front of
which they stood. Then j F. Hamp-
shire gave reading describing why
Dewey would not consent to be presi-
dent. that fairly brought down the
house. Twill Frank rendered solo that
was happily received, and a mandolin
quartett was followed by vocal solo
rendered by Rev. D. Polling. A sumpt.
uous lunch was then served by the
gentlemen, that was greatly enjoyed.
The party broke up about II o'clock,
the guests all voting that Mes3rs. Will
son, Glenn, Hobson and Kelsay were
'oyal hosts.

well begin preparing to lay up treas
ures above. He predicts that on No
vember 18th next this planet will come
astronomers as the comet Of 1865, and
the world will be wholly or partially
destroyed. Since Prof. Falb has made
some predictions that haYe come true
in the past, his prophesies of the dis.
aster to occurr on Nov. 18th are at
tracing some little attention, but the
majority will not believe them until
they are proven

Sewing for the Soldiers.

Thirty energetic ladies met yester-
day morning at 10 o'clock and spent
the greater portion of the day sewing
for the Spokane volunteers at Manila.
They made abdominal bandages, night
shirts and other garments for the sick
and wounded, arm.slings and many
little articles that are of great use in
the care of the soldiers.
They met under the auspices of the
Red Cross. Today and every day this
week the ladies will meet, and they
desire that all who can spare the time,
whether or not members of the Red
Cross, will be there to assist in the
Observation-Disclosures.

Perished From Exposure

James B. Clendenning was found
dead at the foot of the Malheur Butte,
eight miles from Vale, last Thursday,
says the Vale Gazette. He had been
visiting with VIM. O'Brien and on
Tuesday he left for Vale on horseback.
Before arriving at the butte he dis
mounted and was leading the animal
and left the main road and mired in
the soft mud. Being feeble he was
unable to extricate himself and perish
ed from exposure. The horse returned
to Mr.. O'Brien's and searching par
ty went out and found the remains
Thursday. An Inquest was held Fri
day and the coroner's jury brought in
a verdict that he came to his death
accidentally.

Wiped Out by Fire

During the heavy wind that was
b'owing Tuesday afternoon fire
caught in the house of Hugo SCHOOL,,
who lives about four miles south of
The Dalles, and the house with all it's
contents was consumed. Mrs. SCHOOL,
and her little baby were in the house
at the time, while Mr.. SCHOOL, was
plowing in a field near by, but the fire
burned so rapidly that nothing could
be saved. Their loss is estimated to be
between $500 and 400, and comprises
their clothing, household furniture and
supplies, leaving them almost destitute.
Wednesday Mike Spicenger and F.
Sauter circulated petition in town
for the benefit of Mr.. and Mrs. SCHOOL,
and the generous people of The Dalles
responded literally with cash dona.
tions for their relief.

BOATS AND PORTAGE ROADS.
A Move on Foot to Put Line on the
Columbia.

!
Columbia.
Since the government is showing
little activity in the matter of remoy-
ing distractions to navigation of the
Oregon nor Washington has taken the
matter up as a state enterprise, it rests
with private individuals to accomplish
this end if it is done at all. That the
work will be done as private enter
prise seems likely, company having
been organized for that purpose, and
sufficient capital has been secured to
carry the plan into execution. DIR.
Blalock. of Walla WaIla, one of the
movers in the matter, has given out
| the following statement concerning
what is proposed to be done:
The incorporators of the new com
pany are N. G. Blalock, of Walla Walla;
A. w. Mariner, Gillian county, and
D. Smith, of Blalock, and the capitali.
zation is to be 100000. Regarding
the financial features of the enterprise,
1 will say only this, that the money to
construct the rail lines and to build
and equip the boats comes through the
Russell Sage interests. A gentleman
who acts as Russell Sage's attorney In
New York, an old associate and ac
quaintance of mine, was the one |
through whom 1 enlisted Mr.. Sage in
the plan, and, of course, it need not be
said that with such backing the supply |
of sufficient funds is beyond question.
1--WE propose to put on a line of
boats on the Columbia river, to ply
between Astoria, Portland and the foot
of the rapids of the Columbia, CON-
struct portage railway to transport
freight around the rapids, and have
also boat line to ply from the rapids
to points farther up, at least as far as
Umatilla.
"All along the Columbia river are
various places, which, if they could be {
cached from the river. would pour I
nto the coast ports steady stream of E
If agricultural and livestock products, a
n much larger volume than they now C
10. We propose, therefore. to build t
pur rail lines from the river to Pen b
leton, Walla Walla, Heppner, Condor fl
nd other points, to connect with the C
oat lines, and to serve as feeders. "
"We have been assured by compe-
ent railway men that the scheme is I
easible, and that, once under opera a
ion. it cannot fail to be u paying prop d
siLion The main advantage in the +
Ian is that it gives us water trauspor- 3
alton to the seaboard, except for the c.
nall distance on the spur rail lines. p
nd then, too, it brings all the Colum- N
Ia river islands into direct communi- a.
stion with the markets of the seaboard
nv one will at once recognize this as :

A Strange Explosion.

What might have been a serious
accident occurred at L. W. Darling's
Heppner Times. The weeks washing
was in progress and, as was Mrs.
Darling's custom. small amount of
gasoline had been added to the water
in which the clothes were boiled. The
water was boiling at lively rate when
Stella, one of the daughters OF the
household, lifted the lid and immedi-
ately there was an explosion. The
young lady's face and hands were
seriously burned and the paper on the
ceiling was ignited. The fire was ex-
tinguished before much damage was
done.

inches of new snow at Bakeoven when
he left there last night and that it was
still showing.

ported in The vicinity of Antelope and |
on Trout Creek, in Crook county. |

the loss during the past week has been
greater than during the entire winter.

Slow Justice,

The refinement of cruelty as distilled
by the slow processes of the law in
melting out justice to criminals is seen
in the case of Claude Branton, the Lane
county murderer. The execution of
this criminal is long over due. Both
justice and humanity are violated in
keeping human being upon mental
strain by delaying the execution of

should upon proper conviction, be ex-
ecuted; the good name of civilization
requires that execution should follow
