We regret to announce the death of
David El Burke, a well known former
citizen of The Dalles, on Saturday last
at St. Vincent hospital Portland
"Dave," as he was familiarly known,
worked in the company's shops at this
place for many years. He was an hon
est, industrious, sober, kind-hearted
man and was much' esteemed by all who
knew him.
Last ' Saturday afternoon at the fair
grounds a game of base ball was played
by The Dalles City and the Academy
clubs. Considering that it was the first
time the City club had ever been together
the play was very creditable as it was to
both parties! . At the close the game
stood nine to nine, an even score.
Another game will be played at the same
place next Saturday afternoon sharp
when a large' attendance is expected.

Thejsickly combination of Ella Wheeler

and the West Shore is a thing of the past.
As a great illustrated weekly it was a
failure.
A Chronicle subscriber said to us to
day : "The market reports of the Chron
icles are worth four times the cost of
the paper." Another said: "Your
market reports are the best of any county
paper I ever saw in my life.' The editor
can say this without vanity as these re
ports are carefully compiled, week by
week by Mr. S. L. Brooks.
It was unfortunate that the presiden
tial train came to a stand in such :
position that the militia boys were al
most as completely hidden from view of
the president as if they had been in
their - own armory. We would have
borne the misfortune with greater resign
nation if only his excellency had got
sight of the gorgeous uniform ot our
drum major. As it was nobody here
was to blame.
The fine rain of the last two days seems
to have been quite general as well as
abundant. From a)l points vet heard
from comes the news that the ground is
thoroughly soaked and the promise for
good crops was never brighter. If we
should have moderately cold weather
when the grain comes to fill and mature,
we can depend on a fair crop without a
drop of rain more.
Speaking of local freight rates J. J,
Lynch, the Mosier merchant, said to a
representative of the Chroniclk : "The
rate for flour in less than . car load lots,
from The Dalles to Mosier a distance of
sixteen miles, -is twelve cents per hun
dred pounds. , From Walla Walla it is
seventy-three cents. Last spring I
bought a ton ef seed wheat in Walla
Walla and had it shipped to Mosier.
The freight averaged exactly eighty cents
a sack.' This reminds us of a story we
heard the other night, while sitting on
the porth of the Mount Hood hotel at
Hood River. The speaker was a travel
ing man, wbo had just come down Irom
The Dalles where be had put up at the
Umatilla House. Learning that we
were from The Dalles he thoughtfully
remarked:- ".You have some remarka
ble characters up there. I heard the
proprietor of the Umatilla House tell a
tourist that when he first came to this
coast he used to get a dollar a pound for
packing flour on his back to the Salmon
river mines. ' He made a trip a day and
carried 200 pounds each trip." The
tourist expressed some surprise at the
greatness of the load but Colonel Sinnot
quietly remarked "Oh, that's nothing.
A Frenchman used to make the trip
with me who never carried less than 400
pounds ; but he died, poor fellow. We
were crossing the Columbia river one
day on the backs of the salmon (they
were so thick in the river in those days
we used to do it often) when his feet
slipped through a thin place among the
salmon and was he drowned. He was a
fine swimmer too, but, once he went be
low the salmon they were so thick he
could not get back to the surface."
The thousands who are interested in a
portage road at The Dalles on the Oregon
ide of the Columbia will be pleased to
: learn that within a week from now sur
veyors will be in the field locating and
surveying the most practicable route
lietween this city and Grant station in
Sherman county. Already the people of
- fcherman county have offered to build
the grade in their county from the Des
chutes east.
From a private letter to the editor of
the Chroniclk, which came to The
Dalles during his absence from town,
we are informed of the death, at his
liome at Merced ' Falls, California, of D.
P. Woodruff, the father of Mrs. W. H.
Davis of Wapinitia, and of Mrs. Frank :
Amen formerly of Kingsley. 'Mr. Wood-!
ruff's death occurred on the 2d ultimo
and he was 65 years, 5 months and 21
days old. Tne immediate cause of his
death was tumor of the stomach." He

, Some Observations on the Beautiful
' Village by the Chronicle Man.
It is surprising what variety of climate
j still remains within the limits, of what
j is still left of Wasco county. There is
j the Arctic cold of the western boundary,
part of which is a region of perpetual
snow and ice as well as the semi-tropical
heat of the Columbia bottom nearly
11000 feet below. In the southeast we
have a vast hilly stock range where
there is very light rain-fall, while in the
extreme northwest we have a precipita
tion nearly equal to that of the Willam
ette Valley. Midway between all these
extremes of heat and cold, of depression
and elevation, of drought and moisture
lies the beautiful little valley of Hood
River. The valley proper is not so much
the depression created, in the lapse of
centuries by the rush of waters from the
summit of the Cascade Mountains, as it
is a stretch of high bench land on either
side of Hood River rising up out of the
Columbia on the north and reaching
back to within le3s than a dozen miles
from the base of Mount Hood. On
either side of this plane rise abrupt and
precipitious mountains running north
and south and nearly parallel with the
main body of Hood River. On the north
across the Columbia there is a chain of
similar mountains running parallel with
the river, with Mount Adams in the dis
tance; on the south and visible almost
everywhere stands Mount Hood. Hem
nied in by mountain and river, the val
ley presents a picture of scenic beauty
nowhere equalled in Eastern Oregon and
scarcely excelled anywhere else. But
this is not all, for in this prosaic age few
are able to subsist on scenery alone.
The Hood river valley has a climate
all its own. It is neither so hot in sum
mer nor so cold in winter as other parts
of Eastern Oregon, while compared with
the Willamette valley it is much cooler
in summer if it is colder in winter. If
the residents of the valley are to be ac
cepted as judges of its climate then
there is no place on earth like Hood
River. One enthusiast, who has long
resided there, said to the writer: "All
we want is an irrigating ditch on either
side of the river and then a man need
not die to go to heaven." A lady, who
lately married one of Hood River's most
prosperous farmers, and who previous to
her marriage had resided amid the
"beauty and chivalry" of Washington,
D. C, was equally pronounced in her ad
miration of her new home. That seems
to be a way they all have and 'really,
after a person has "done" the valley
from one end to the other, and has had
an opportunity to test its delightful
climate he begins to think they are not
far astray. The writer has no interests
there whatever, and does not know that
be ever shall have any but despite the
effort to curb the expression of his ad
miration he is constrained to put it on
record that, after a' thorough acquaint
ance with every part of it, extending
over several years, he--cannot think of
any spot an earth he has ever visited,
take it for all in all, in everything that
goes to make a perfect climate, to equal
the Hood river valley. "'.. -
The beautiful town of Hood River is
now blooming out in all the charms of
verdant foliage and , fragrant blossom.
On every hand are evidences of growth
and material advancement. ' More prop
erty is changing hands at this point than
in all the rest of Wasco county put to
gether. Buildings of handsome archi-
tecture and substantial structure are
everywhere in course of erection. Two
new church buildings nearing com pie
tion are models of beauty and good taste.
The Mount Hood Hotel is being entirely
overhauled and its capacity increased by
the addition of eleven new rooms. When
the work is finished mine host George
Herbert will have as fine a country ho
tel as can be found.
By the way George took possession of
the hostlery on May eve. It is simply
wonderful to see how natural he looks in
an immaculate white apron and linen
jacket. It is the same old George and
yet not the same. He seems as handy
at serving a dish of hash as he was in
jugging an incorrigible or collecting a
delinquent tax. We noticed that his
apron was not of sufficient superficial
area to quite cover his western extrem
ities but learned that it was temporarily
borrowed from his slim cook, while a
new one is course of construction by a
local architect. George is going to do
well here just as sure as you live. We
have ample proof that he has got a fine
cook, and when it is said that Mrs. Her
bert will superintend the rooms, it will
not be necessary to add that cleanliness
and comfort are assured. We predict
that the Mount Hood Hotel will be a
popular place of resort during the com
ing summer.
A kind word ought to be said to Rob
ert Rand the outgoing landlord. No
kinder or more obliging landlord ever
ran a hotel. We have known him, with
wonderful patience, to nurse guests
through tedious and emerging sickness
only to be repaid by the base ingrati
tude of an unsettled hotel bill. Under
his management the house was remark
able for its quiet and orderly manage
ment, notwithstanding it was generally
over crowded with guests. Mr. Rand
and his family will still reside in Hood
River where he has valuable and remun
erative interests, and a host of warm
and attached friends.

of the boys an American flag. Back of

who was on board. The rest of the
members of the committee were im

addressed the president in the following
well chosen and appropriate words
mayor Moody's kbmakks.
Mb. President: On behalf of the
citizens of Dalles City I extend to you a
warm and hearty welcome. In your
journey this morning through the Cas
cades, the gateway to Eastern Oregon,
the Inland Empire, you have doubtless
been impressed with the magnificence
of the Columbia, and its capabilities for
transportation, and you will observe that
with the removal of a few. obstructions
it will become a great highway to the
sea. Every acre of the great grain and
wool producing country for hundreds
of miles to the . eastward returns
its thanks to your administration for in
creased appropriation for the purpose of
opening the Columbia. Your presence
here today with the evident desire to
become acquainted with the people and
the wants of the Pacific gives us every
confidence in the speedy completion of
these public improvements.
. The Dalles is the empire city of "East
ern Oregon and, in a measure, it marks
the boundary line between Eastern and
Western Oregon. Let me assure you
however, that there is no boundary line
or limit in our state to the loyal regard
which the people entertain for their
chief magistrate, and let me assure you,
again Mr. President, that our welcome,
though it may seem less demonstrative
than that extended in larger towns, is
none the less hearty, and we join the
throng of patriotic Americans welcoming
you throughout the length and breadth
of our land.
We regret that your stay is necessar
ily so short, but as this cannot be rem
edied, let me introduce you to our people
who are eager to hear their president."
mb. Harbison's address
Mr. Harrison commenced his . address
by referring to the fact that he has
spoken at all times of the day and night
and had seen few receptions so hearty
as the one that now greeted him. He
thanked them for the demonstrations of
their friendship and said he had found
it very useful and pleasant for those
charged with public duties to visit the
people and become familiar with their
wants. When at home the greater num
ber of the people that visit him want
something and as there are not enough
of supplies to meet all their wants they
are apt to go away with discontent. It

SPEED PROGRAMME FOR FAIR OF 1891.
Yesterday's Session a Pleasant One To
day's Programme.
We printed yesterday the list of dele
gates to the Mid-Columbian Association
which met at the Congregational church
at 1 :30 p. m. The convention was or
ganized by the election of Rev. J. H.
Henderson as moderator and Rev. Frank
M. Aunks as secretary.
Reports of the churches by the dele
gates was in order and by the same re
ports it was ascertained that all the
churches in the association were in a
flourishing condition.
At 3 :30 Rev. M. Henderson preached
on "ibe unused and undeveloped re
sources of the church." It was a power
ful sermon and was delivered in an im
pressive manner. Discussion by the
delegates followed.
In the evening the first part of the
exercises were given over to the Y. P. S,
of Christian Endeavor. The district
secretary, Mr. Norman Wilson, made an
address on the subject and was followed
by Rev. Frank M. Aunks of Hood River,
who delivered the associational sermon.
It was a most interesting and feeling ad
dress and was listened to with pleasure
by those present. Rev. Cephus Clapp,
superintendent of missions of Oregon,
made a telling address on the subject of
"Our work in Oregon." The past year
has been a successful one. Ten new
churches have been organized : six new
churches have been built ; three more
are in contemplation, and three have
been resuscitated. There are 2,001 Con

damage is reported from them. Cherries
and wheat were slightly injured in a few
places. ine temperature continues cool
Dut gradually rising. JNot quite an
average temperature prevails.
Fall and early spring wheat continues
to be promising. Late sown spring wheat
is not as good on account ot lack: ot rain
More rain would prove of great benefit to
the wheat crop. While the wheat pros
pect at present are ot the best reports in
dicate that the promising conditions will
not continue unless more rain falls. The
fields are dusty and the lack of rain is
already apparent, the grass is good.

Over in the Bridge creek country some
flock masters lost a few sheep during the
earlv part ot last month Irom what ap
peared to be a dietetic ailment. Mr.
Dobson is of the opinion that they were
incapable of digesting the feed they re
ceived at that time, so much so at- any
rate that they were unable to assimilate
a sumcient amount of nutriment from it
to maintain a healthy condition of the
evstem and at the same time provide
nourishment for their unborn offspring,

The name of Wan namaker being called
that gentleman came forward and com
plimenting the mayor for his excellent
speech said he was sorry it was not
printed so that they co lid all read it but
assured his audience if they would get it
printed he would have a copy sent to
every one of them at one cent a piece.
He said we had the best post office
system in the world. He then made an
amusing reference to the fact that the
president had been telling bim that
there were too many post offices 'rat he
concluded from the crowd before him
that the fault lay on the other side. He
said they had been trying to understand
from the newspapers what kind of a
country we had out here and had at last
made up their minds to come and see it
for themselves and they were so astound
ed at the magnitude and grandeur of
everything they saw that they . were go
ing back east to tell the people that they
discovered this part of America. He said
the people of Seattle would have given
$100,000 for our blue sky. They all had
the blue in that country but the blue was
not overhead. The Dalles the only city
that had a mayor and governor of the
same family to - welcome them. The
hearty cheers that greeted them would
be carried back to Washington in their
hearts.

There is a popular idea that the
minute letter"M, to be seen at the
base of Liberty on the face of the pres
ent issue of silver dollars stands for
"Mini," and is an evidence of the
genuineness of the coin bearing it. But
this is a mistake, the "Al" stands for
"Morgan.T George T Morgan, who is
the originator of the design. Upon
the same side there is another "M" al
so the initial of the designer. This is
to- be found in the waving locks of the
fair goddess, and is so cleverly concealed
in the lines of the design that it can
only be seen after a long scrutiny.
An open river would be a "freight rate
regulator," ' and that is what the people
of the inland empire are much in need
of. If Portland will take prompt action
and fill the "long felt want she may rest
assured of a volume of trade which would
make her a city as large as San Francisco
within five years.-r-Eat Oregonian.
Crops are looking excellent in the in
terior of the country. A large number
of teams ean be seen every day plowing.
