' Very little wool is now arriving as the

rdy received.- The- Wasco warehouse
4 or ing the past week shipped about
twelve ear loads, and next week will
hip a whole train load via the Northern
Pacific. Tli is warehouse has received
p to the' present, of this year's clip,
rloee onto two million pounds.
The wool men of Crook county who
have sold their wool in The Dalles mar
ket at an average price of sixteen cents
a pound, according to the Ochoco Be
t iew are consoling themselves with the
f:ict that while this price is nominally
188 than that of last year, they have
realized more to the sheep because the
-clip is larger and the wool heavier than
that of last season. . ;
From engineer Dexter we learn that
"ipay robbery was committed, . of
i 1500, the property of a section boss on

It is supposed by a former employe of
i he section boss. The victim was almost

My God boy I'm ro" bed, I'm robbed,"
The thief bad not been found at last re
jxata.
Mr. iarley, superintendent ol con
struction of the Cascades portage road,
returned Sunday morning from the east
where he went about two weeks ago to
purchase a locomotive and rolling stock
for the road. He succeeded in obt aining
twelve flat cars, four box cars, and a lo
comotive, which will be shipped from
the factory by the middle of August to
arrive here about the first of September.
All have the latest and best improve
ments and can be changed into standard
gauge by simply changing the axles.
All have Westinghouse automatic airbrakes.-
The locomotive will weigh
52,000 pounds and is believed to be the
strongest of its weight . of any narrow
gauge locomotive in the United States.
In addition to the Westinghouse brake
it is fitted also with a water-brake. A
passenger tar, for temporary use, will be
built at the Cascades, as a regular coach
could not be built sooner than from five
to six months, and no narrow gauge
coaches were to be had already bnilt.
The rolling stock could not be contracted
for with any company that would agree
to deliver them sooner than the time
mentioned above. By that time the
track will be ready for service. Thirty- j
one men are now on the pay roll which
is all that could be worked to advantage,

The O. N. G. Encampment at Eugene.
Mr. D. H. Roberts of this city, has
just returned from Eugene where he has
been attending the encampment of the
2d regiment which has jutt adjourned.
Mr. Roberts is a member of C company
of : Eugene, and reports having had
pleasant and profitable time.
The regiment was commanded by Col
Lovell, who has proven himself a pop
ular and well loved commander. As the
regiment was on dress parade an officer
of the line stepped up to Col. Lovell
and in a few well chosen words presented
him with a gold watch costing $150, the
gift of the officers and men. It was
testimonial of love, for no man was al
lowed to give but a small amount so that
all could feel they had right in the pres
ent and every man in the regiment was
a contributor. There were ten compan
ies in the command and all were pleased
with the. encampment. -
The regiment went into camp on June
27th and broke camp on the 5th instant
The gallant .second ..participated iu
sham battle on July 4th which was
alike pleasing to all who participated
therein and the spectators.
The Oregon State Fair.
The prospects for a good State Fair
were never so flattering as they are this

Premium List and prepare something

Norton Was Custodian of tbe Cham
pag-ne and not Houghton.
"Lieut." Norton comes into the Chbox
iclb office and states that the cham
pagne over which such a disgraceful
muss was kicked up was kept in his tent
and not Col. Houghton's. Norton ad
niits that champagne was in camp but
that he was the custodian of the goods
instead of the colonel. Well, let Norton
have the honor if he wants it. It was
probably the first time during his some
what checkered financial career that he
has been in funds with which to buy
champagne, and he wants that fact
khowni-and the Chboniclb man (not
ihe editorial "we") is willing to give the
doughty lieutenant credit for the same.
The Chronicle man ' is glad to
know that Norton is in funds. "Talk is
cheap," but it takes money to buy
champagne.
New Dellrery Wag-on.
Our enterprising young grocers, Chris
man A Corson, have come out with a
handsome new delivery wagon. It was
purchased through Filloon Brothers, of
this city, and is a beauty. The body is
like the Chronicle "well read" while
the running gear is yellow. The name
of tbe firm in gilt letters is placed on
both sides and altogether it is a very
natty and handsome rig. . We congratu
late Chrism an & Corson on their ex
cellent taste.

Gentlemrn of the Council of Dalles City:
In pursuance of the direction of the
city charter, I desire briefly to indicate
my intentions and aims, as I assume the
duties of mayor, relative to the admin
istration of our city government.
The people of this municipality have
delegated to you as their council and to
me as their mayor the entire care and
control of the affairs of the city. Per
mit me to say that we can not be too
careful in the performance of the sacred
duty we have undertaken.
It should be the constant aim ant
earnest purpose of those in charge of the
city government to maintain the rights
ot-ull in the enjoyment oi lite and lib
erty and property ; and those who are
unable to help themselves, the poor and
unfortunate, should be the objects of our
solicitude, even more than they who are
more favorably situated.
As your pr siding officer I hope to be
able to assist you in maintaining the
best interests of this city. As the exec
utive officer of this city I shall have no
friends to reward nor enemies to punish,
but shall at all times endeavor to deal
justly with all ; should my action at any
time appear to. vou inconsistent with
this declared purpose I ask your forbear
ance until we can reason together and
fully understand each other ; we have a
common interest to serve and I trust
we will be able to work in the strictest
harmony.
The best possible government lor the
least possible cost should be our aim;
there are many things pertaining to the
city government that I am not now
familiar with but in respect to which I
shall take occasion hereafter and in the
near future to call your attention.
The greatest care must he exercised
by us in the management of the city's
finances, and this part of our work must
receive our most careful thought. I am
advised that the city's income is at pres
ent less than its expenses ; these condi
tions inevitably lead to an empty, treas
ury, and a depreciated credit and ulti
mately to the greatest embarassment ;
necessary expenditures must be made
and are always, right and proper but
lavish expenditures and an inconsider
ate use of the people's money are to be
deprecated and must be avoided.
Ever be careful of the trust to you
committed and your duty then, and not
until then, will be perlormed.
kobert mays,
Mayor.

and the street commissioner was in
structed to use every effort to collect de
linquent road tax.
On motion tbe meeting adjourned.
By an oversight, mention was not
made of the appearance of tbe Jackson
fire company in the parade on July 4th.
The steam engine was decorated in a
ery handsome manner by Engineer
George Brown, who showed much taste
and skill in tbe adornment. Mrs. Juker
we understand furnished the flowers
which were so tastefully displayed on
the handsome engine.' Four fine black
horses were attached fhereto, and were
driven by Mr. J. Huot. The whole out
fit was made attractive and the engineer
in charge is entitled to credit for the ap
pearance of what went a long way
toward the decorative part of the celebration.
We were pleased to see Mr. J. P Fitz
gerald on the streets Tuesday, after his
severe injury on the Fourth. One of
his eyes still wears tbe badge of mourn
ing and he was obliged .to navigate by
the use of a cane, but in a few days we
hope to gee him himself again.
A fire, Tuesday night, about 2 o'clock
broke out in a frame building owned by
W. Lord near tbe northeast corner of
Washington and First streets. It was
first noticed by some train man who im
mediately gave tbe .alarm by vigorous
whistling of a locomotive. The fire en
gine responded promptly but it was ,1m
possible to do more than save an adjoin
ing building. The house which cost Mr,
Lord $1200, with Its contents was com
pletely destroyed. ' There was no Insur
ance on either. '

tor Dolph was in excellent health and
spirits and was glad to meet his const!
tuents in a social way. He does not
show the effects of the hard work that
be has done for Oregon at the last ses
sion of congress, for his eyes are are as
bright and his form as erect as it was
thirty years ago when he did not dream
of the senatorial honors of a great state.
Mrs. Dolph was the picture of health and
viracity, and by her agreeable manners
and kind treatment of the guests every
one was put at ease. She was charm
ingly attired in light heliotrope silk, cut
en train, and trimmed with pearl, with
diamond ornaments. Miss Ruth wore
white India silk with blue sash and
looked very handsome. The bright little
miss presided at the tea table during the
evening and in a charming manner
served iced tea and cakes to all who
bowed at her shrine. The reception was
an entirely informal one and no attempt
at a programme of entertainment was
made, the evening being passed in social
conversation.
Among those present were Judge Ben

The Man that Don't "Kick."
JThb Dalles, Or., July 8, 1891.
Editor Chronicle As the Fourth
and things connected therewith have be
come a subject of general discussion al
low me to suggest that possibly we (that
is the "heft on us") are slightly related
to the mule, though will not admit are
assinine and are always looking for an
opening to kick and we generally get in
no . matter whether it be a "brother
mule" or an outsider, and generally it is
ourselves that are most hurt.. Now we
have kicked at the Colonel, kicked at
the committee and everything else in
sight and you often bear the expression,
'The Dalles has received a black eye
that it will be hard to get over." Well,
who has given it? People that came
here on that ill-fated day or our jealous
and uncharitable way of treating things
done? The failure" of the sham battle to
materialize seems the most agreeable
thing to kick at and, while I subscribed
several dollars, and gave some time and
would like the best in the world to have
had it take place, yet, under the circum
stances, considering what the men had
gone through marching up through the
sand and wind and pulled about town in
a whirlwind of dirt for hours and then
insist that in such a blizzard, that that
part be carried out, does not seem to me
she part of humanity and will say I am
not a member of the militia or brass
band, nor do I take much stock in mili
tary affairs " nor am I an apologist for
officers. Neither am I on tbe inside or
know who is to blame, but do believe we
are allowing jealousy, prejudice and a
propensity to talk just a little louder
than the next man to have too much
swiug. Axti Kicker.

SPEED PROGRAMME FOR FAIR OF 1891.
With the majority of the fish wheels
tbe fishing season is practically - ended.
Last night the wheels of Charley Hall
and Captain Stone caught only one fish
each. A few wheels in favored localities
will continue to catch more or less till
tbe close of the season. Fishermen here
say that during the season hitherto, not
more than a quarter catch has been
taken.
A collision occurred this morning near
the Columbia hotel, between the sprink
ling wagon and Wood Brothers' meat
wagon. The result was that the meat
wagon was turned bottom side up and
the horse dragged it in this fashion for
about a block when he was easily caught.
An axle was badly sprung and some
slight damage was done to the seat, but
neither the horse' nor the driver were injured.
Mr. J. A. Smith of. Sherar's Bridge, is
on his way to Acme, Oregon to visit his
children.
Some Dalles Fruit.
Mrs. J. H. Covington has brought to
the Chronicle office some fine peaches
which are richly flavored and toothsome.
They are of the "Early Crawford" va
riety and are fully ripe. Mrs. Coving
ton's place is three miles above The
Dalles, just this side of the Seufert's.
She and her husband have five acres in
orchard and are well pleased with there-
suit. The orchard is in a sheltered cove
and for the eight years it has been tilled
there never has been a failure of any
part of the crop. Mrs. Covington says
they keep a careful account of all sales
and expenses, and that the orchard
brings' an average of f 300 per acre each
year in fruit or melons. Last year $500
worth of melons were sold from a little
over an acre, besides what the family
used and gave away. At one time $750
worth of strawberries were sold from less
than a half acre of the Covington place,
all of which goes to show that exceed
ingly fine crops can be raised in the vi
cinity of The Dalles. On this orchard
there is no San Jose scale or other fruit
pests, all of which goes to show that by
proper care ot the trees they can be kept
healthy in this vicinity and orchards
can be conducted at a handsome profit.
