The California editors visiting Oregon came up the Columbia as iar as the Cas cades yesterday on the steamer Potter. The locks were opened for the first time since high water yesterday, and the Dalles City came up, arriving at 0 o'clock. The members of the Congregational Sunday school will give a sacred concert tomorrow evening at the usual time for service. The Summer garden will be open to morrow, but owing to the absence of several of the band boys, the band will not be in attendance. Hello, boys ! Wear your white duck trousers and caps at the "Blue Beard" lawn social this evening. A. M. Will- iamp & Co. have them. '"Parties coming in from points souihj today, report a good rainfall extending from 8-Mile south. It is to be hoped it covered a large area, for the crops if lnll. Mr. A. J. Kuollin of Kansas City is here looking after stock. Last year he bought 3C00 head of graded Shropshire lambs from Geo. A. Young of Ridgeway and shipped them East. Six hundred of these averaged 118 pounds, some going us high as HO, and the whole 3000 average 102 pounds, this after shearing, which reduced their weight about seven pounds. The moonlight excursion on the 15,th ought to, and no doubt will be, a fie Hghtful affair. The river is at a fine stage and so is the moon, and with the weather extra warm, the kind which has been ordered for that night, the ride on I the river will b6 just the thing. Tltej band has been engaged for the occasion. j and you don't want to mies it if you want a delightful evening.

(iv a The closing exercises of St. Joser school last night was largely attended, and as the entire program was rendered remarkably x well, everyone went away fully convinced that the minims are hard to beat when they have undergone a course of training under their kind and experienced teacher, Sister Mary tho mother went to his relief, but foi some time was unable to drive the vie- J entertainment opened by a solo ious brute away. This she only accom- i !intl ehorus, in which the entire school plished after she had piled rugs and ! joined. This was followed by a piano chairs over tho little fellow's body, com pletely covering him. After the injured child was taken in the house, the dog kept going around the outside looking for an entrance to the building to get at the child again, and mado several at tempts to jump through the window. What the child did to the animal is not solo, which was rendered by the boys in a manner that would cause older and more expeiieneed players to feel justly proud. A song, "The Laughing Boy," was then given in a very creditable manner. The Dumb Bell Drill was next in order, and the way in which each und everyone did hie part caused the audi- known, but the dog seemed determined 1 BI1CU t0 demand an encore, which was promptly granteu. Alter anotner song, "The Golden Rule," had been rendered, the orchestra appeared, and delighted as well as surprised, everyone by its ren dition of the selection "Angels' Dream." In this the boys showed the marks of svJcareful training, not a discord occurring Pils duri: to kill the boy, and came near accom plishing his object. The dog was killed. The child is terribly bitten, but it is thought not necessarily fatally injured.

Wilson at midnight May 25th, and reached its destination, 133 miles east ot Pittsburg, May 3lst. A letter re ceived from the recipient states that tho crate arrived in excellent condition, not a bruised strawberry in the lot. The price of Hood River strawberries in Butte advanced 25 cents per crate Tuesday. On that date Mr. Coon re ceived a carload of berries from tho Hood River union, but having the field all to himself, was able to raise the price. The car contained Hll,' crates. A few days previous 300 crates of Hood River berries blocked the market and reduced prices at that point.
