graduation, and in addition he received
a special honor or "sheepskin" as Mr.
Shank calls it. for his oratory: Since
Yale has been in existence there had
been but eleven of these special honors j
given, and this young man from Oregon
carried off the twelfth prize. . So rare a
winning is worthy of recording and Mr,
Shank is receiving the congratulations
or his friends on his success.
Freight Katea.
A shipper makes the statement to
Chronicle man that the rate per 100
pounds on wool from The Dalles to Bos
ton via the Union Pacific railroad,
$2.65. The Northern Pacific line takes
wool from this point to the same desti
nation for $2.45, twenty cents cheaper
per 100 Bs. than the Union. The North
ern line has to pay trackage over the U
P. from The Dalles to Wallula junction,
and then successfully competes with
Gould'sroad. Why the Union does not
trive as good rates to snippers as our
our Northern neighbor is what no per
son can find out.

Large Wool Shipment.
There is a great deal of activity in the
East End today, caused by a large quan
tity of wool changing hands. Mr.
Shearer has bought 200 bales today,
which with the amount he has on hand
will enable him to ship a train load of
twenty-seven cars which he sends over
the Northern Pacific line tomorrow,
headed for Boston. . This is the largest
individual shipment of wool from Ore
gon this year. It seems the wool sharks
do not have everything all their own
way, so long as Joe Shearer is in the
-field. The wool is shipped from the
Wasco warehouse.
A Water Wheel.
Messrs. Fish & Bardon have built a
galvanized water wheel 3jr feet in size
which was sent today t to Mr. Bonney's
ranch at Tygh valley. It looks as if it
might be a very useful adjunct to the
ranch. It is arranged so as to turn the
grindstone for sharpening sickles, etc.,
and attached to a patent churn it will
bring the butter while the happy owner
is eating breakfast. The wheel will run
in an irrigating ditch. It is an excellent
piece of workmanship and looks as if it
might be substantial and do a good deal
of work.

WASCO INDEPENDENT ACADEMY,
Its Fall Session Will Begin Monday,
September 7 th.
Good schools do more to induce settlers
to locate in a community than almost
any other one agency. People do not
like to settle in a section of the country
where their children can not stand a
chance of acquiring a satisfactory edu
cation. The Dalles is fortunate in hay
ing a fine academy located here and we
are always glad to be able to notice its
increasing property. The Wasco Inde
pendent academy is established on its
merits as a school and stands second to
none in this part of the country as an
educational factor. Such an institution
of learning is creditable to the city where
it is located and should receive the pat
ronage of the public generally.
The fall term of the academy will be
gin Monday, September na witn ifot
fessor Ingalls in charge. He has proved
his ability to the satisfaction of the pa
trons of the school and we are glad to
see that so able a teacher has been re
tained, for under his management the
academy has been pushed rapidly to the
front. He has not vet announced his
corps of teachers but his selection of as
sistants will no doubt be wise, it is to
be hoped that the people of' this
part of Eastern Oregon will recog
nize the necessity for the existence of a
school of the nature of the Wasco Inde
nendent academy and (rive to it the
support it so richly merits.
Last year Mr. Curtiss purchased 75,
000 bushels of wheat, which was ground
into flour at his mills. The wheat was
all raised in this vicinity, a good deal of
it, however, coming from Klickitat
county, as Mr. Curtiss gave free ferriage
across the Columbia to all farmers who
sold their wheat to him. He has not de
cided whether he will do the same this
fall in regard to the wheat of our neigh
bors over the brook, but will make the
make the announcement later if he de
cides so to do.
The flour turned out by the Diamond
Roller Mills is of a superior grade, aud
in Portland, where much of it is shipped,
is regarded as a superior baker's flour,
These mills are a home institution,
spending a large amount of money here
every year for wheat and in the pay
ment of waes, and should receive the
united patronage of the people of The
Dalles and vicinity so as to enable the
concern to keep in operation the year
through, and we hope to be able to re
cord from time to time that Mr. Curtiss
is receiving patronage commensurate
with the money he has invested iu this
much-needed establishment.
AN EXPLICIT DENIAL.
MURDER AT CBENOWETH.
the
John Johnson Found Shot Through
Head In Front of hie Cabin.
Chenoweth, Wash., July 7, 1801.
Editor Chronicle we have had a
sensation here this week. One of our
old residents John Jonnson a Swede was
found near his cabin shot through the
head with a change of shot and a shot
gun lying under him. The coroner, was
called and arrived here on Friday morn
ing and took charge of the body, and
summoned a jury to find the cause of
tho death. The jurors, were unable to
decide whether the shooting was ac
cidental or intentional, but conduced
that he was the cause of his own death.
Mr. Johnson was held in high esteem
for his honor and worth as a citizen, and
we very much regret the loss of a citi
zen and friend who has been so worthy
of a place among the "honest" people of
this world. . D. K. Okdway.

Serloua Accident at Dufur.
Dufur, July 11, 1891.
Editor Chronicle On our way from
church last evening we were attracted
by the sad wails of some one in distress.
After rushing to the spot whence the
sounds arose, to our utter astonishment
found "Keno," (better known as Chief
Justice of the Jack-knife circuit,) sus
pended by the neck in the forks of a
walnut tree, and was compelled to call
for assistance.
The cause is unknown, but it is thought
that it was from pondering over the last
words of the minister or the small pipe
what he supported. Observer.

be Captain of C Company Make
Brave Stand for his Boya.
The Dalles, July 14, 1891.
Editor Chronicle : I find the follow
ing in the Hood River Glacier to which
I would respectfully call your attention
; "The Dalles seems to have consider
able trouble in finding out why they did
not have a sham battle. On the face of
things it is apparent that the sham pain
took its place, and the bottle is mightier
than the battle. The majority of C com
pany got drunk and the quelling of the
disturbance by I and D companies,
caused so much hard feeling that if was
conduced best not to nave tbe sham
battle."
Members of C company are naturally
indignant at what they consider a base
slander on their good name. They are
not a set of drunkards as tbe Glacier
would have the public understand by the
above publication. The members of the
company rank as high as any set of
young men in The Dalles and they
object to the statement that they were
drunk on the encampment grounds or
anywhere else. My men are sober,
industrous, and law observing and
I wish to make an explicit denial of the
charge of drunkenness on the occasion
referred to. Persons who live here in
The Dalles and personally know the
members of C Company will bear me
out in this assertion.

per pound, and the disposition oi buy;

Much is said and written ou the wheat
outlook for 1891. The product of the
United States is estimated at 555,000.000
bushels for this year, which is above the
average about 70,000,000. This estimate
is based on reports from state crop bur
eaus, and is not authentic enough to be
put down as reliable, but enough is
known to make calculations on, for sur
pins. In the great wheat centers of the
United States, there is a shyness about
publishing anvthing that will give sem
blance to the agricultural classes that
w ill indicate higher prices for tne vear s
prod net.
Reports have been received recently,
by the state department at Washington,
D. C, from the commercial agent of the
Millers' Association in France, which
gives some valuable information on the
wheat question although it may be
somewhat premature, as the harvest is
not entirely over in the main, enough
may be gathered to base estimates on.
France's average product is put down at
3o8,500,000 bushels, and her annual con
sumption, to 306,000,000, bushels. She
estimates her yield at 234,540,500 bushels
for this year, and including 42,500,000
bushels used for such, shows a defici
ency of 103,959,500 bushels.
In Russia, Tunis, Egypt, Roumania,
and some of tbe Danubian provinces,
their crops are reported fairly good, but
in Hungary it will fall below the average.
Their millers' reports are optimistic, as
they desire to create the impression that
the supply is sufficient throughout the
province. The report to the state de-
department concludes with the assertion
that not only France but all Europe
must look and depend on North America
alone to supply the deficiency, as South
America has no surplus owing to their
internal disturbances.
The produce market is very quiet.
Large supplies of all kinds of vegetables
and small fruits are plentiful, strawber
ries are almost a thing of tbe past, and
are selling at 10 eta. per box. Raspber
ries are in great abundance and prices
are down. Blackberries are in market
at 10 cts. per box. Plums are very plen
tiful at 35 cts. per 20 pound boxes,
oood apples sell freely at 60 cts. per
box, and are not in great abundance,
In some instances the San Jose scale
has been discovered on apples brought
into market and have been promptly
destroyed, reaches are cheap and are
selling at 15 to 20 cts. per box.
The market is feeling the scarcity of
eggs, and some dealers are paying 22
cents per dozen in cash and 25 cents in
trade. Good, fresh, ranch butter is in
less supply with an upward tendency
Some dealers talk of an advance in price
but as yet none has been made since
last quotations. The market is still
quite well supplied with poultry at for
mer prices $.50i$3.25.
The Dalles wheat market is steady at
70 cents per bushel.

lne other was of the cinnamon variety
ana Dotn hides are now undergoing tbe

one horse all it could do to pack it out
of the- mountains. They have been
quite a terror to the cows in that vicinity

breathe much easier when scamperim

Dr. Thomas O'Rilley, wife and child,
ren from St. Louis came up the Colum

was delighted with the scenery on the
Columbia and said nothingtnalled it
in America. Dr. O'Rilley is"an old
friend of the colonel's but has not met
the genial host of the Umatilla for forty
years. When he knew the colonel he
was a truthful lad and he unhesitatingly
swallows all tbe fish stories that Col, 8,
has related for lo, these many years.
Dr. O'Rilley will have some huge fish
stories to tell when he gets back to St.

They Want The Regulator.
Sunday the editor of the Sun went to
Hood River and while there took a fly
ing trip across the river and visited the
fishing concern of Shaw & Olsen just
above White Salmon. The editor,
ueo. Meroert, and Mr. bhaw went over
in a sail boat and spent some time in ex
amining the fishing trap. While there
the valiant Herbert raised his mighty
arm and lol speared a twenty pound
salmon. The ecstacies of delight into
which George was thrown at this event
made it bo that it was with difficulty
that the others restrained him from
jumping overboard. There were lots of
fish seen in the trap and they appear to
be doing a rustling business. Mr. Shaw
is anxious for the Regulator to commence
running, for the Union Pacific shows no
accommodation whatever in doing their
business and they are eager that the new
boat will begin," promising it all' their
business.
The following statement from Mr. W,
B. Denny, a well known dairyman of

to persons troubled with Rheumatism,
He says: "I have used Chamberlain's
Pain Balm for nearly two years, four
bottles in all, and there is nothing I have
ever used that gave me as much relief
for rheumatism. ' We always keep a bot
tle of it in the house." For sale by
