tinued daring the term.
Seufert Brothers will have shipped at
the close of the season 1300 boxes of
Royal Ann cherries which will net them
one dollar per box.
Miss Ida Coffin, who has been in at
tendance at the Wasco Academy, re
turned to her home at Arlington Mon
day morning.
The run of salmon has now begun in
earnest and the wheels are doing fairly
well. Seufert Brothers caught five tons
Monday in four wheels.
Mr. J. B. Huntington, a brother of
Messrs. B. S. and J. M. Huntington,
register of the-U. S. land office at Burns,
Oregon, is visiting his father and broth-
. ers in this city.
Prinz & Kitsch ke have added an un
dertaking establishment to their large
furniture establishment, and as they do
. not belong to the undertakers trust they
are prepared to give the lowest prices.
An old friend of the editor of the
Chronicle, Mr. Andy Lytle, of Willow
creek, Crook county, is in the city. He
reports that the crops in his section
were never so promking as they are this
year.
Nothing was done in the circuit course
Monday. Judge Bradshaw opened
court in the morning but the election
seems to have so absorbed the attention
of both lawyers and clients that there
were no attendants. '
The Chboniclb congratulates the Ore
gonian on the successful issue of its
fight with bossisin. The . same regime
that has cursed Portland has for years
cursed The Dalles. In both places the
people have risen in their might and
rebuked it. r
The vote of Mcnday substitutes the
name of Orion Kinersly for that of Judd
Fish as city treasurer. Mr. Fish will
resign his office without the shadow of a
stain upon his reputation as an honest
man and a good citizen. On any other
ticket, in any other connection he would
have been elected by an overwhelming
majority.
Mr. D. Farrington, from lower Fifteen
Mile Creek, came into the city Wed
nesday. - He says they had a fine show
er in his neighborhood. He also informs
the Chboniclb that he learned from
Mr. Holder that . they had enjoyed a
huge rainfall 'on the ridge of the Des-
chutes six miles alove Mr. Farrington's
place. '
; Fine rains have fallen throughout this
section in the last 48 hours, and the late
spring grain: is vastly benefitted. The
early sown, likewise the volunteer was
too far gone to be restored. The high
altitudes have not suffered for want of
moisture as rain has visited those local
ities while lower lands were passed over.
The timely rain has rendered the crops
certain. -
There is trouble among the brakeman
" on the Union Pacific. Some time ago
Superintendent O'Brien issued a bulle
tin to the effect that the brakemen
would not be allowed to ride on the loco
motive and must not come nearer the
engine than five cars. The consequence
was the brakemen refused to - work.
Yesterday, word came to Albina to sus
pend for the present the operation of
the bulletin.
There came very near being a runa
way Wednesday, bat the gentleness
and good sense of the horse concerned
spoiled a newspaper item. The horse of
Mr. Vanbibber, while standing in front
of Mr. George Ruch's store, on Wash
ington street,- got one shaft of the wagon
around a -post which supported the
awning, and the post giving way, the
horse started to run with one end of it
between the shaft and his breast. He
was caught before he had got any dis-
llie il Ibsen May and Grace imams
have gone to Portland on a visit.
The feed-yards in the bast fcnd are
'-crowded with freight teams from tl
! interior.
Miss Iva C. Brooks left on this morn
ing's boat for a visit to Mre. M. S. Bu
roll of Portland. Miss Iva will spend
the summer in Sulem, Silverton, and
Portland, returning in the fall.
The calking of the new boat was
finished today and the painters will
commence on the hull in the morning,
The timbers are ordered for the launching
and some of the irons and hog chains
have already arrived. Mr. Lewis Paquet
expects to have all ready for launching
by the middle of next week.
Mr. G. J. Farley came up from the
Cascades on the noon train today. He
reports the work on the portage as pro
gressing nicely. . Mr. Farley will leave
tonight or tomorrow for the east to pur
chase the rolling stock. They are ex
pecting by any freight train the delivery
of the rails when the work of laying
them will commence forthwith.
For what reason should a United States
district attorney or a deputy marshal be
maligned for working at the polls for th
success of a municipal ticket of their
own choice? They were not there iu any
official capacity but as private citizens
exercising the simple rights of citizen
ship, in an election, when the issue gave
no room for the display of any of that
"offensive partisanship," which was so
obnoxious to ex-President Cleveland.
Mr. J. A. Gulliford came in today
from Dufur. Speaking of the fine rain
of the past two days he said : "Day be
fore yesterday I was over in the neigh
borhood of the new bridge and 1 never
saw it rain harder in my life .than it did
for a short time. Some grain in that
neighborhood is undoubtedly burned
and dried out beyond recovery, but there
is a good deal of nice looking grain left
yet, that this rain will bring out finely
I think Harry Gilpin has the nicest look
ing field of grain I have seen this season
though if it bad not rained ' the chances
are it would have made nothing.''
Frank Uabel came in this morning
from Wapinitia and reports very heavy
rains in his neighborhood for the past
two days, enough to insure good crops.
He thinks the ram yesterday was very
general. The crickets in the grove have
either been drowned out or eaten up, all
save one, Mr. Gabel says, and one of
McD. Lewis razor-backs was after it fol
lowed by Lewis' brindle pup. It the
hog has not got the cricket by this time
it will have reached the Tygh and been
drown. Mr. Gabel informs us that there
was a big dance at Mr. Chris Confers' on
the 16th nst. The whole neighborhood
sympathizes with France, but all the
same a very pleasant time was had.
tance away and was easily quieted.
The Dalles can feel pleased that Port
land succeeded in electing Mr. W. S.
Mason as mayor. That gentleman is a
friend to an open river. A short time
m ago he told one of our prominent busi
" ness men that he was thoroughly in fav
or of opening the Columbia at the earli
' est possible moment, and would do all
that lay in his power to bring it about.
As we can expect no help from the big
Portland paper it is a good thing to have
as prominent -an official as Mr. Mason to
aid us in obtaining that long desired ob
ject an open river to the sea.
It is practically of little moment what
the organ of the defunct reminiscence
says about anything but we cannot allow
- the statement, twice repeated in its issue
of yesterday evening to go uncontradict
ed. It is charged that we have "at
tempted to besmirch every candidate
with mud, filth and lies." The state
ment is without a grain of truth in it.
On the contrary this journal has gone
out of its way to speak a good word for
the candidates on the defeated ticket
and not a line was ever written that
threw the shadow of a reflection on the
character of one of them.
A very sad accident occurred Monday
afternoon in the death by drowning of
the ten year old boy of Mr. Phil Willig,
of this city. The boy had been riding
on a plank which floated in twelve feet
of water, at the foot of Union street, and
by some means he fell off and sank to
the bottom. The body was recovered
shortly after by an Indian who dived
five times before he was successful.
The citizens made up a purse for the
Indian which amounted to something
like $25,. Freddie Willig was a thor
oughly good boy whom his companions
and everybody who knew him liked, and
Wiko Independent Academy.
The closing exercises of theAVasco In
dependent - Academy, "which occurred
last week, showed beyond a doubt that
The Dalles possesses a school which eas
ily n.nks among the best in the state.
Attendance either at the entertainment,
given by the pupils on Tuesday even ing,
or at Commencement, Thursday evening
would have convinced any fair minded
person that the teachers were efficient
and pains-taking and that the pupils ex
pected to master whatever they under
took.
The entertainment on Tuesday even
ing, proved a source of surprise and
increasing pleasure trom beginning to
end. The Vogt Grand was filled to its
utmost capacity and the audience testi
fied their pleasure by hearty and well
deserved applause.
"Only a Pansy iJIossom, an old song
in a new dress, proved especially attract
ive, while the "Tambourine Drill'
fairly carried everything by storm
Where each one did so well it would be
vidious to make personal mention.
Suffice it to say, therefore, that each
selection was admirably adapted to the
pupil who gave it. The accomplished
preceptress, Miss Mary F. Lawrence,
who had entire charge of the entertain
ment, deserves very great credit for its
success. '.
Although the Academy graduated its
first class in 188 2 its alumni now num
bers half a hundred. A large number of
these assembled with the teachers Wed
nesday evening, when the days gone by
were onc more brought to mind, and
love for Alma Mater rekindled.
On Tuesday evening the tenth annual
commencement was held at the Congre
gational church which had been beauti
fully decorated for the occasion. The
class of '91 consisted of Miss Iva C.
Brooks, Miss Margaret A. Kevs and Miss
Nona I. Ruch.
Miss Ruch's essay on "Ideal Woman
hood" gave evidence of extensive read
ing and careful thought. With nice
discrimination she gathered from char
acters fictitious and historical, those
qualities which were best in each, and
from them constructed the character of
an ideal woman who should be fit com
pliment to the one Perfect Man. '
Miss Keys' essay on "Success the Re
ward of Effort" showed plainly that she
had learned not to be satisfied with
mere gilt and tinsel, but ever to push on
until the genuine metal was reached.
. "The Influence of English Towns on
the Progress of English Liberty" by
Miss Brooks, showed careful and
thoughtful study of the history of our
Anglo-Saxon forefathers. While not
offering so wide a scope for individuality
as the other two, it was none the less
meritorious because of its clearness and
logical treatment.
In conferring the diplomas, Principal
Ingalls spoke briefly upon the necessity
of recognizing and oheying those
divinely given impulses which urge all
to a higher and nobler life. The enjoy
ment of the occasion was greatly in
creased by excellent music, both vocal
and instrumental, kindly furnished by
friends of the academy. 1

A railroad from this city to the Fossil
or Silkstone mine would be of incalcula
ble value to The Dalles and the Chboni
clb is pleased to lie able to announce
that the prospects for the consummation
of that object is at hand. Last Tuesday
night The Dalles, Dufur & Silkstone
Railroad Company was organized by the
election of George A. Liebe, T. A. Hud
son, E. B. Dufur, T. H. Johnston and
R. H. Norton as a lioard of directors, j
At a subsequent meeting of the direct
ors, George A. Liebe was elected presi
dent, T. A. Hudson secretary, and R.
H. Norton chief engineer, and the new
officials are busy getting matters in
working order.
Thr stock of the road has all been sub
scribed and enough funds are in hand
to do all preliminary work, such as mak
ing location surveys, etc.,and as soon as
the Fourth of July exercises are over
surveyors will be put into the field and
work begun at once. It is the intention
of the company to build the portage rail
road well np into Sherman county this
fall, and it is also expected that the line
will be built to Dufur so that the wheat
can be moved from both places by this fall
It is promised that work will be pushed
vigorously.
The new road will start from The
Dalles and run to Dufur, thence to the
Tygh. From there-it will be extended
by way of Bake Oven Canyon and Deep
Creek to John Day and from thence to
the Silkstone or so-called Fossil mines,
The length of the road, as shown by En
gineer Norton's preliminary survey, will
be 147 miles. There are no serious en
gmeering difficulties and the route is a
perfectly feasible one. The farmers all
along the line are willing to aid in build
ing the road and we are glad to be able
to announce that ere the snow flies next
fall a goodly number of miles of the road
will be in successful operation.

Mobo, June 14, 1891
Editor Chbo.viclb Quite a number
take the Chboniclb but your reporter
fails to glean all the news.
Mrs. McDanel and daughter. Miss
Katie, of Oakland, are visiting Mr. H. S.
McDanel.
Mr. John J. Schaffer has a brother
from Iowa visiting him.
Miss Pearl Rust has just returned
from a six months' visit to California.
Messrs. W. H. Pugh, of Wasco, G. C.
ComBtock, of Kent, Frank Jams, of
Grass Valley, E. Peoples, of Monkland,
and L. K. Moore, of Erskineville, are
some of the carpenters working on the
new buildings under construction at this
place.
E. O. McCoy has been having a lot of
work done on his property here which
has helped the looks of it and gives the
town a better appearance.
We hear Messrs. McDonald & Ginn
are to use the McCoy building with a
line of hardware. They are also agents
for Knapp, Burrell & Co. for Sherman
county.
.Mr. A. C. Sanford, Filloon Bros'., head
traveling man and collector is making
Moro his headquarters. Filloon Bros.,
are always up to the times; they are
putting a branch house in at this place.
Mr. F. M. Hampton has teams hauling
umber for a livery and feed stable ; we
are glad to see it as a good stable is badly
needed.
Moore Bros, have nearly completed a
neat two-story building across the street
from their store. We believe it is to be
used as a harness store below and a pub
lic hall above.
We also hear rumors of a newspaper
in the near future but don't tell any
body, as it might be all gas, but there is
big lot of lumber being hauled and
piled on lot 8, block 2. Peoples & Moore,
contractors say they are going to erect a
fine two story building. Time will' tell
what it is for.
Mr. Kaseberg is building a new black
smith shop.
Peoples & Moore intend building a
store for their own use in which to sell
furniture, undertaking goods, etc., be
side several dwelling houses.
We had quite an excitement the other
day. The town is furnished with water
from a large cistern on the hill above
town. The cistern was built about four
years ago and unbeknown to the citizens
and also to the cattle around town, the
timbers that supported the top had be
come rotten, and when one of Mr. Uriah
Service's large steers -walked over it the
top gave way and let about 1500 pounds
of beef down into the cistern. Mr. John
Mason saw the catastrophe and spread
the news. About fifteen men headed by
W. H. Fulweiler made haste to the
rescue. After much hard work by the
wise ones it was decided to make a raft
out of some logs close by which was
done.- The steer, after some urging, got
aboard the raft and was floated to the
low side of the cistern and his oxship
alked off.

It looks as if a new and short route to
The Dalles was about to be opened, with
the line running throngh Klamath coun
tv.
A route from the railroad tnroncrh Lrfnk
ville to Williamston river and Klamath
marsh, thence on to Antelope, is said to
be very practicable. The first difficulty
is between the railroad and Keno, but
this can he easily "railroaded" by laying
the rails along the level river bank to
Jenny creek and then gradually ascend
ing the table land, which runs quite
evenly along to Keno, where the dim

ville to the upper part of Klamath
marsh, with the exception of Modoc
point, a little prominence easy to deal
with, and from the marsh to Antelope.
five tixlh of the way to The Dalles, the
impediments are said to Decompaiative-
ly slight.
It is just such a route as an enterpris
in railroad company would gladly select
beinsr freer from mountainous imoedi-
merits than any other route of equal
length in Oregon and opening a roadway
along the great Klamath Falls water
power and on through rich mineral
agricultural and timber lands in which
are flourishing many industrious com
munities, and we have reason to suspect
that it has been selected.
A few weeks ago there appeared in
Link ville a gentleman named Basset.
With him came several photographers
Neither Basset nor the photo men would
give any satisfactory account of their in
tentions and they passed on, the photo
men going on the east side of the big
lake to Klamath marsh, and .Basset tak
ing the west side to the same point.
How much further they went we have
not heard, but they returned together
and left aa mysteriously as they came.
' Several of our reliable old settlers say
that during the last thirty years Basset
has been one of Lei and Stanford's ablest
viewers. And the fact that a road in the
direction viewed by them would pay
well is pretty good evidence that btan
ford is about to take another iron grip on
a golden opportunity.
The Right Kind of Talk.
Since the "thirty three" met in the
board of trade rooms Tuesday night to
carry ont the idea of factional control of
the city, they nave accomplish their
ends. Failing to get sufficient endorse
mentof their "star chamber" methods
by petition, they attempted to capture
the convention Saturday night, and in
this they received a well-merited rebuke
Even after this, the "organ," knowing
it be false, hoisted at the head of its col
umns Monday morning, what it termed
the "Citizens Ticket, when only one
man received a majority at the public
primary, and the ticket voted to-day by
the faction was headed the same way
To-day ,to "snatch success from, the jaws
of defeat," political strikers commenced
at an early hour at nearly every street
corner to procure votes by all manner of
representations. There being nothing
at stake the people were apathetic re
eardin? the election. The water ones
ion had been settled and the only object
the citizens bad was to rescue the mum
cipality from the control of a faction,
which hasapparently for a long time on

There is no material change in the
wool situation since our last report was
made. The dead lock seems to be on
and bnyers have nearly all gone to other
shipping points. There has been but
few transfers and but few shipments and
the market is practically at a standstill
Prices are a shade lower on all grades.

FOREIGN WHEAT PROSPECTS.
England has lately been experiencing
most unfavorable crop weather. The
first of this month London has had a se
vere hailstorm following four or five days
of very hot weather, and since then the
weather has been quite wintry, with
snow in various parts of the country, and
the temperature at night below freezing.
The same kind of weather is also report
ed from France. Under these circum
stances, the English wheat crop reports
are by no means so favorable. Indeed,
the vagaries of the winter, and the extra
ordinary character of its season altogeth
Follows, er, are beginning to show their real ef
fects. In France farmers were beginning
to hope that the spring sown wheat,
which this year represents about one
third of the total, would give a good
yield. The advent of bad weather, how
ever,haa dispelled these hopes, and the
common opinion among French authori
ties is that the next crop will not exceed
that of 1879, viz., 192,000,000 bushels,
while the present requirements amount
to 382,000.000 bushels per annum. To
ward meeting this deficiency French im
porters have provided already about 10,
000,000 bushels, and continue to offer
more than English speculators. Califor
nian wheat for September-December
shipment was bought in France at 45s
per 500 lbs., which is over the price ob
tainable in this country. Renewed com
plaints about the Russian crop, and the
decrease in the quantity afloat, have,
combined with the continued French de
mand, brought about renewed firmness
154 and a general feeling that the bottom
has been reached.
The South Australia and Victoria crop
proves to be about 200,000 tons, or over
7,000,000 bushels less, according to offi
cial returns, than was estimated early in
the year, on the strength of which esti
mates ships were chartered in advance
in great numbers, which can
not now find cargo. Taking 7,000,000
bushels out of Australia's surplus in this
time of prospective scarcity is serious
enough, but it becomes the more serious
when it is found that Doth cnui and Ar
gentine have also practically exhausted
meir surplus, inula aione is me country
from which liberal exports mav now be
expected, an example of which was gi
yen last week, when 1,630,000 bushels
were shipped, the largest total in any
week for a considerable time past.
miscellaneous market.
In the miscellaneous market review
there are but few changes. Wheat hay
is quoted at $14 per ton, but the high
prices of wheat anticipated for the year's
harvest, prompts producers to cut and
cure iess hay than formerly. We hear of
the market opening at $13 to $13.50 for
baled wheat hay, which is an advance
over former years, owing to expected
higher price of wheat. There are no
changes in quotations on oats, barley, or
wheat. Ezra are scarce at former Quo
tations. Old potatoes are nearly out of
market, and new potatoes are supplying
the demand at from to 2)i cents per
pound.
The Dalles wheat market is steady at
80 cents per bushel.
Oats The oat market is in good sup
ply with more frequent offerings. The
near approach of a new crop, a decline
has taken place. We quote $1.201.35
per cental.
Barley The barley supply is very
short and a steady demand. We quote
$1.201.35 per cental sacked.
Flour Local brands, $4.25 wholesale
and $4.50$4.75 retail; extra, $5.50
$6.00 per bbl.
Millbtcffs The supply is in excess
of demand. We quote bran and shorts
$17.00 per ton,, Retail $1.00 per 100 Its.
Shorts and middlings, $20.00 $22.50
per ton.
Hay Timothy hay is in good supply
at quotations $17.0018.00. New wheat
hay is in market at $14.00 per ton baled.
New wild hay is nominally quoted at
$15.00 per ton. '
Potatoes Good potatoes are in better
supply at .75 per 1001b. ' New potatoes
142 cents per lb.
Butter Is in better supply. Quote
A 1 .35.40 cents per roll. The supply
is not as good aa last week.
Eggs The market is noted for its
scarcity and 18 to 20 cents per dozen is
paid. The tendency is for higher prices,
Poultry Old fowls are in less de
