From Tuesdays Daily

A. R. Lyle, of Cross Keys, is in the
city.
Major Hall, claim agent for the O.
r. & N. Co. spent the day in town.
Mrs. Geo. N. Bolton and Mrs. DR.. 1.
M. Smith, of Moro, are visiting in the
ci6y.
Roads leading into the country are
now in fine condition, tine rains having
settled the dust.
DR.. and Mrs. Logan returned last
evening from Bingham springs, in the
Blue Mountains.
The rains so far in this county have
not damaged crops, but they have re-
tarded harvest work.
Yesterday e. c. Fitzpatrick brought
in fifty fat hogs from Tygh Valley and
sold them here for Al cents on foot.
Headers were running in most of
the farming country today, the grain
being sufficiently dry to allow it to be
cut.
Heavy rains have prevailed in the
Walla Walla country the past few days
and have interfered considerably with
harvesting.
The rains of the past few days have
made life in the mountains miserable,
hence many of the campers are return
ing home.
Mrs. Geisendorffer. Mrs. Douthit
and Miss Daisy Dean returned last
night from Cascade Locks where they
have been camping.
Campers at the seaside will be
vending their way homeward pretty
soon. 1t is getting too damp for COM
fort along the different beaches.
Heavy rains are reported all over
the Willamette valley. They have re-
tarded harvesting, but no material
damage has yet been done the crops.
Hon. F. N. Jones came up last night
rom Portland. He had been sick in
Portland with malarial fever, and

Cost of Repairs.

The matter of repairing old, broken
down sewers in the city has been an
expense of no small amount for several
years past, and is increasing each year
as the wood of which they are con-
structed decays. From January to
July L, the cost of repairs as shown by
the recorders books has been S2l1 ,63,
and the cost for the mouth OF July was
S69 SO, making total of S2SS. SO paid
out for sewer repairs since the first of
the year. The principal repairs have
been on Court and Union street sewers
which are in condition that they are
liable TO give way at any time.
Recognizing that to repair the old
sewers will become greater expense
every year, and also that the Union
and Court street sewers must be re-
placed in a very short time, the council
has determined to put in an entire
new system, and believe it will be
saving in the long run to the property
owners.

Fun at WaScO.

The town of Wasco recently passed
an ordinance requiring all places OF
business to be closed on Sunday, and
the marshal has been undertaking to
enforce it strictly, and in consequence
several prominent business men and
women were drawn into court on
charges of having violated the law.
Among those arrested are J. F. Potter,
a. E. Vaughn, Wash Reynolds, VIM.
Booth, Mrs. VIM. Barnett and E. A.
Webber. Webber and Reynolds plead
guilty and paid their fines, but the
others contested the matter. The or
dinance is causing considerable fun in
the town and will probably result in a
number of appeals to the circuit court.

NOT AGGRESSIVE ENOUGH.
Senator stewards Views on the Philippine
War.

Senator Stewards Views on the Philippine
NEW YORK, Aug. ia special dis.
patch to the Times from Washington
says: In reply to question concern
ing his views On expansion, Senator
Stewart. of Nevada, said:
1--WE have expanded and it is no
longer question whether or not we
are in favor of IL. 1t makes no differ
ence whether the United States had a
right to buy those islands or whether
Spain had title to dispose of them.
The fact remains that we did buy them
and we are there now to give the
natives an opportunity to rule them
selves.
"May be our arguments are rather
strong, but that is apparently the only
way to deal with these people. We
cannot sell them. If we should, then
it would be to some monarchy, and
the people of the United States would
stamp with unanimous disapproval the
sale country and it, people.
''The policy of the United States
in the Philippines has not been ag-
gressive enough. 1 believe more
vigorous campaign will be waged in
the future

ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES.
Returning Volunteers Have Little Use for
the Islands.

Returning volunteers have Little Use Tor
the Islands.
The Times Mountaineer has inter-
viewed large number of The Dalles
boys who returned Saturday from the
Philippines, for the purpose of getting
their ideas of the country and to as
certain their opinion of when the war
may cease. From them it mas gained
much valuable information, though as
rule they are not free to express
their views or criticise the manner of
conducting the war.
Not one of them has any desire to
return to the islands either as SOL
dier or private citizen, it being the
universal expression that it is not
fit place for white man to live. They
speak of the country as productive,
rich soil capable of growing anything
to he found in the tropics, where rice
is almost natural product and sugar
cane grows in abundance. But the
climate is such that no white man can
endure it a. follow any active pur-
| suit. The rainy season begins in June
| and continues for three to five months.
| During that time the heat is intense,
though not so oppressive as during the
dry season, but little or nothing can
| be done during the time the rains are
prevalent. The natives are accuston-
| ed to the climate, hence can stand to
work IN all seasons, but the longer
| white man stops there the worse he
| fares.
In regard to the conduct of the war
not one has expressed confidence in
| General Otis, and they are almost
unite in denouncing him as being an in
competent commander. When asked
how soon they expect the war to close,
they say that depends very much on
| circumstances. The Filipinos must
be whipped before they will surrender,
| and as there are millions of them it
will take long time to subdue them
| with the present force on the islands.
Fighting them, they say, is good
deal like fighting flies. When one is
killed, there are half dozen to take
| his place. To kill few thousand
of them cuts little figure and does not
| thin their ranks for the couatry is over
| run with them, and they appear will
| ing to enter the service whenever their
ranks are thinned. The resources to
keep up an army seem unlimited. The
insurgent forces would appear to be
annihilated one day and the next their
ranks would be full. Recruits would
apparently come from the brush and
food to support them from the ground.
Very few of the returned soldiers
are in sympathy with the war nor
do they feel satisfied that they
were detained in the islands after the
trouble with Spain was settled. They
say they enlisted to fight the Spanish,
but would not desert the flag of their
country when called upon to fight the
insurgents.
As a rule the volunteers think but
little of the Philippines as country.
They have no attraction for them, and
they laugh at the idea of the islands
eyer becoming a fit abode for the
American race. After the insurgents
have been subdued the volunteers say
they do not see what this country will
do with the islands, for very few out.

Declares War.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Boer organ
in London, the Standard, and Digger's
News today published Johannes burg
dispatch threatning Great Britain in
event of war, saying the Beers are
determined to wreck the mines and
irretrievably ruin the general body OF

of dollars worth of machinery, adding
that war will mean absolute ruin OF
Johannesburg, both as a town and
and mining center, and saying:
"While it is doubtless end in victory
for England, the price of victory will
be the ruin of thousands who ought to
consider the price they mnst pay be-
fore authorizing the government te
declare war;"
Another Johannesburg dispatch pre-
diets futher concession, and says;

WILL BE ARBITRATED.

| American Claims Against Russia to bs
Submitted to Arbitration.
NEW YORK, IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Ambas.
sador Tower has notified the state de.
partment that the Russian government
has agreed to arbitrate the claims OF
American citizens against it, growing
| out of the seizure of their vessels off
the Siberian coast. These claims
amount to $500, 900, and Russia's will
ingness to arbitrate them is the best
evidence, state department officials
says, of their validity.
Mr.. Towers is negotiating a treaty
referring the claims to arbitration,
which will be based upon the conven
tions under which the Cheek and
McCord claims were arbitrated. The
arb itrator will be selected by the two
render the award within six months
after his appointment. These claims
are due to the seizure of American
sraling ships off the Siberian coast in
1892, and the maltreatment of'some of
their crews. Their vessels wese seized
20 miles away from the'Siberian shore.
had the seizure occurred within three
miles it is probable this government
would have declined to press the
claims.
