PUBLIC LANDS.
matters.

The situation presented by the con-
tiicting instructions and orders of the
United States Government relative to
the authority of the Hawaiian Govern
ment to deal with public lands is un-
fortunate.
The Resolution of Annexation was
approved July 7th of last year and al
though the actual transfer of sover-
eighty did not take place until August
18th a communication was sent from
the Hawaiian Executive to the EXecu-
tive in Washington under date of Aug
ust 9Th asking for instructions upon
certain points in regard to which ques-
ton had arisen.
The question and answer relative to
the power of the Hawaiian Executive
to deal with the public lands in these
Islands would appear to have been eX-
plicit. But for reasons which do not
fully appear an order has now been
made which apparently is in direct
conflict with the former instruction.
While this matter of the power to
deal with the public lands is one of
great Importance and affecting many
interests and has a direct bearing up
on the prosperity and development of
the country we think that no one need
be disturbed at the present status of
the matter.
1t was but short time ago that
instructions were formally sent from
Washington relative to Chinese lmmi-
grafton which were later completely
changed and the former action revers-
ed. In that case great hardship was
caused and unnecessary suffering In
fiicted but when the Government at
Washington became fully informed of
the facts and attention was called TO
certain phases of the case the matter
was remedied.
The present action would seem to
emphasize the importance of having
a representative at Washington who is
fully informed of the situation here and
can give information and make ex-
plantations when desired.
Whatever Inconvenience is caused by
this present action we have the most
abiding faith in the honesty of inten-
ton of the Administration at Wash
ington. President Mckinley and his
advisers are jealous for the welfare of
these Islands and will do only that
which they believe to be for the best
interests of the whole country.
The local Government has been act
ing in accordance with the earlier in
structions in dealing with the public
lands in Hawaii in the ordinary and
usual way; contracts have been made,
obligations incurred and rights vested
which certainly will receive considera-
ton and due respect by the Federal
authorities.
1t is probably not strange that some
mistakes have been made both in
Washington and in Honolulu under the
anomalous conditions which have eX-
listed but with men of integrity and
ability at the head of affairs in both
places-men. of high character and of
honest purpose-there is little occasion
for anxiety
Events show more and more the i'm
portance of action being taken by Con-
gress providing permanent form of
Government. But even after this is
accomplished, questions and differences
of opinion will doubtless arise from
time to time which will require pa
thence and intelligent effort to adjust,

Designing men, through alluring and cum

Made the Most of 1t.

Yesterday afternoon some fifteen
Dallesites were returning from Port
land on the Spokane Flyer, and on
reaching the Cascade Locks at $3.50
we're greeted with the unpleasant in
formation that there was slide on
ths road about five miles above, that
would probably delay the train for an
hour. This announcement caused no
exnberance, but since they were only
to wait an hour, they took the delay
complacently, and little party con-
sisting of Mr.. and Mrs. Fish, Mrs.
Si1nott, Mrs. Thornbury, Mrs. Hud-
son, Miss Martin, Judge Bradshaw,
J. P. McInerny and the editor of this
paper formed themselves into mutual
admiration society, and undertook
to amuse themselves as best they
could. An hour passed, and it was
learned ahat locomotive was off the
track at the slide and delay of some
hours might result. This announce
ment caused the aforesaid admiration
society to be merged into consolation
party, and while the raiu poured down
outside the passengers inside the car
began feeling the pangs of hunger,
and delegation from the party above
mentioned was sent out to forage.
Fortunately they found Levan's store
open and secured sufficient edibles
with which to allay their hunger. and
the ever genial John Tranna supplied
them with hot coffee, so they made
the most of the eight hours they were
obliged to spend at the Locks while
the track was being cleared.
During the interim Jud Fish was
elected chief OF commissary, while
Judge Bradshaw performed the duties
of water carrier to supply the party
with refreshments, however, after
having administered their Offices for
six hours they became negligent, and,
when at 11:10 o'clock the conductor
called "all aboard it was pleasant
sound, not only to the consolation
society, but all on board.

her vital organs were undermined and

months she coughed incessantly. and
could not sleep. She finally discovered
way to recovery, by purchasing of
us hottie of DR.. Kings New Discov-

relieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night; and with two bottles,

that their father, Edward Waud, has
failed to take proper care of the little
ones, and that he is not fit person to
have charge of the children. They
will be takeo care of by the sheriff

looked into more fully and they will

appears the name of Henry o.
O'Flaherty, a private in Co. L, Second
Oregon Volunteers, who during the
week died of sickness in Manila.
AS he is one of the boys who left
with The Dalles company, many ex-
pressions of sorrow can be heard and
when those who did not know the
deceased feel that friend has been
lost to them in the person of the young
soldier who lost his life while serving
in the army.
He was about % years of age and
left Tthe Dalles with our boys on the
2lst Of last April. He was born in
Clark county, Washington, and was a
son of j. E. O'Flaherty, who lives at
Barbertown, Washington.
He was a favorite with the boys in
the company and much regret is ex-
pressed at his untimely Edeath, as we'll
as sorrow for his bereaved relations.

A MODEL STORE.
One of the institutions That show the
GreafneaA of The Ealles.


Greatness of The Dalles.
Mays & Grove are moving into their
new building on the corner OF Second
and Federal streets, and will soon
have their immense stock we'll dis
played in the new quarters.
The building is 100xl00 feet
square, two stories high, both floors
of which are used by the firm, that
gives them 10000 square feet of floor
space, besides the balconies that ex-
tend around the second floor conven-
lent distance from the ceiling, and a
basement 40x100 feet.
The store is model of neatness and
convenience, and is pronounced by all
as one of the handsomest buildings on
the coast.
The first floor is divided into two
compartments that are connected by
sliding doors both at the front and
rear, and at the rear is the Office which
is raised some two feet above the main
floor and is encased in glass and sup.
piled with modern furniture. The
west half of the first floor will be oc-
cupied with the retail department in
shelf hardware, bicycles, stoves. guns,
tinware, etc. while the east half
will be used as a sample room for
buggies and hacks. The second floor
is to be used as warehouse for the
wholesale department. 1t is reached
by a stair way in the rear and also by
an elevator operated by a water motor.
On the first floor the finishings are
most elegant. The ceiling is of pres
sed steel in appropriate figures, and
the shelvings are finished in oak.
Around either side is balcony, about
seven feet from the ceiling, that reach
the upper shelves. The building has a
glass front and is constructed of pres
sed brick on the north and west sides,
and ia we'll lighted by solid glass
front on the lower floor, while the up
per floor is lighted with commodious
windows. During the night the
building Will be ngnted Dy nine In
candescent arc lights of 1000 candle
power. 1t is supplied with steam heat
throug hout, and it would seem that
the architect has not overlooked any.
thing in its construction.
The firm of Mays & Grove is one of
the best Known in Eastern Oregon
and does not only retail, but an ex
tensive wholesale business in hard
ware, stoves. sportsmen's supplies and
agricultural implements.
Some idea of the extent of their
business can be gained from the fact
that they have just received four car
loads of farm wagons at one shipment
and their other orders are in like pro-
