Muchly Married.

Rev. Kassan Smith, who spent a
few months in Roseburg, leaving for
Eastern Oregon last summer, has a
woman hot on mis- trail. Mrs. Mollie
Smith writes to the sheriff, claiming
to be Kasson's wife and wanting to
know his whereabouts. She says he
left her in 1898 without being divorced,
and understands that he has wife at
Milton, Eastern Oregon, whom he
also deserted. She wrote to the sher-
if of Walla Wall Wash county and
he answered that Smith had six wives.
Mrs. Smith states that part of her
husbands religion was that man
should be entitled to all the wives be
wanted. Evidently. if her story be
true, Kasson is practicing what he
misunderstanding Beyiew.
albany also furnishes preacher in
Rev. G. A. Harris. who is rather prone
to marrying too much. Although he
had wife and child in Missouri, he
won the affections OF an Albany young
woman and skipped out for Portland
where it is presumed he married her.

THREATENING OUR INTERESTS.
A Proposition to Have PrinevilIe sup
piled With Mail From Moro.

There is move on foot to get the
postal department TO change the mail
route to Prineviile so that it shall
start from Moro, the present terminus
of the Colnm bia Southern, instead of
from The Dalles, and unless some
effort is made by the people of The
Dalles. the change is liable to be made,
since it will be shorter route by
some 20 miles than the present route.
| What effect such change would
have upon the business of The Dalles
can readily be imagined when the
| amount of business that is received
from points along the line between
| here and Prineville are taken into
| consideration. Not only the direct
trade but the Indirect trade must be
considered. This being the starting
point of the stage line for Prineville
and intermediate points, whenever
persons living along the line need
anything not procura BILE at home, they |
send direct to dealers here for it. be- |
cause it can be supplied more readily |
from The Dalles than from other |
points, but should the terminus of
their stage line he changed they will |
send direct to Portland for such SUP
plies. Then there is the trade that
centers here because of parties coming
in from the interior on the stages.
Even en- route to Portland, they stop
here to await the arrival of trains, and
purchase needed articles, that creates
a trade for our merchants that is by
no means Insignificant. 1t therefore
behoOves the people of The Dalles to
awake to their interests, and if pos
sible prevent the change in the Prime
vile stage line.
If the change would give the people
of the interior a better service. it
would of course be impossible to pre-
vent it, but it will not Mail trains
arrive here at such times that the ,
mails can be supplied more readily to
the stage from here than from any
lny other point, hence the service to ,
jhe interior cannot1 be Impaired by
present arrangements.
The Times-Mountaineer has fre-
luently called the attention of its
leaders to encrOachments that we're
liable to be made upon the trade of
,he city, by failure to look after our
,wn interests, and it would again in
list that business men and property
,wners would interest themselves
more in these matters, and if possible
prevent the loss of any more trade.
This is only the beginning of what we
will lose if we sit idly waiting for W hat
omes to us by reason of our being
lere.

After Ten Years.

One of the Williams boys, while
prospecting Oh the south fork of
Clearwater the other day, found a
skull which is supposed to be that of
old man Johns, who mysteriously dis
appeared about ten years ago, says the
Grangeville Free Press The skull
was found not far from his cabin. but
the snow was so deep that no further
search was made for the rest of the
remains. Mr.. Johns was pioneer of
Walla Walla county and his mysterious
disappearance some 10 years ago led to
the belief that he had been murdered.
but nothing has ever transpired TO
unravel the secret of his death.

landing of the stairway he found his
wife. There was three inch cash

broken. In spite of her injuries, Mrs.

HONORS FOR GOMEZ.
Enthusiastic Cubans Want to Make Him

Enthusiastic Cubans Want to Make Him
President.
NEW YORK, March ia dispatch
to the Tribune from Havana says:
Wednesday nights popular demon
stration in honor of General Gomez at
Quinta de los Molinas seems to have
been turned bg the anti-assembly
leaders into something of a presiden-
tial boom for the ''grand old man" OF
Cuban politics. Most of the speakers
insisted on proclaiming the depnsed
general-in-chief the sole guarantor of
insular independence and the ineYi-
table head of the still uniformed Cuban
republic. In reply to these highly
fa.terlng assurances, General Gomez
cautiously, but still suggestively, said
that he could Iot think of accepting
the presidential title unless it were
bestowed upon him by the unanimous
vote of the Cuban people.
This answer disclosed an intention
singularly at variance with the pro-
gram he announced in his manifesto
of Sunday last in response to the as
sembly's resolution deposing him
from office. In that manifesto he said
that his sole desire was now to retire
to private life and end his days in
peace on his plantation at San Do.
mingo. His new attitude is also in
striking contrast with the offer of his
sword to committee of Porto Ricans,
which had suggested the initiation OF
q movement for independence in that
island.
General Gomez latest change of
front is due dou otless to the over
whelming character of the victory he
has woa over the assembly, and the
elation he feels at the almost universal
support offered to him by all classes
of the Cuban population. His future
course in politics will be watched with
interest, for if the elections, which are
to form basis for political reorgani-
zation, are held before the present
furore in his favor subsidies, he can
have the highest honors the new con-
stituent assembly can bestow on him
merely for the asking.

HONG KONG, March 20.-A cores
pondent of the Associated Press at
Manila says: IAN army has seldom
operated under harder conditions than
have been encountered by the Ameri-
cans. The nature of the country is
such that the enemy cannot be seen
100 feet distant. During the charges
the Americans are ignorant of to
whether they are attacking hundred
or thousand of rebels. A prisoner
captured by the Americans says the
leaders boast that they can keep up
the war for years, depending upon the
American forces being weakened daily
by 20 men killed, wounded or invalid
ed. Some high officials think 10000
rein forcements are needed, as the
troops now on the island are hardly
more than enough to main tain the
line around Manila and police the
city.

one of its patrons:
Roll on, fair Columbia, roll ON in thy glory:
Roll on with thy beaming and Silvery tide;
Thy beautiful banks are renowned in bright
story:
Thy wide sweeping stream is our love and
our pride.
For ages far back thou hsst-roued in. thy splen-
dor.
Through forests in which the red Indian
roved;
And the sunbeam has glittered and the star
beam Shone tender
On thy breast as it onward in majesty moved
And still roll thou onward, o beautiful river!
Thy banks are still glorious. thy waters still
bright;
Roll on to the ocean forever and ever
Still beaming still sparkling. still glad to the
sight. Samuel 2. Putnam.
