THE DALLES, - - OREGON- FRIDAY, - - - SEPTEMBEB 4, 1891 LOCAL ASI) fEBSONAL. W. E. Bodmaa, of Wamic, wsa in the city Tuesday. Mr. T. H. Johnston of Dafur was in town Tuesday. ' Mr. S. R. Husband of Mosier was in the city Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Ryan of Dnfnr were in the city Monday. Mr. John A. Wilson of Hood River, gave the Chronicle office a pleasant call Monday. , . Somebody has figured up that there is an average of 5,600,000 puis consumed daily in the United Kingdom. William Taylor, of Dufur, brought in ft small load of hogs Tuesday, which he sold for five cents a pound, gross. The Hampton Bros., had a car of beef cattle at the stock yards Tuesday, which they shipped west the same evening. Major lngalls is now in Baker Citv gathering samples of the fruits, grains, vegetables and minerals of Baker county for "Oregon on Wheels." Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear i " three kinds all that they have had, all that they have now, and all they expect to have. Orders have been given for the erec tion of a building 50x100 feet, on the Mays lot, on the corner of Federal and Second streets, for the firm of Mays & Crowe. About twenty horses are in training at the fair grounds to compete for purses at the coming district fair. Quite a number of others will arriue in the near futare. " An exchange says : "Take one hund red people apd it is doubtful if ten per cent, could pronounce correctly such common words as coadjutor, diocesan, squalor and isolate." Somebody claims to have discovered ; substance sweeter than sugar. It is not known what the substance is but it is presumed to be about seventeen years old and to have a fondness for ice cream. The menrfbers of the Oregon Press As sociation have decided to hold their next annual meeting in The Dalles. The time of the meeting is left with the. pres ident and secretary of the association Practically no movement of grain has taken place at this point as threshing has only fairly begun. Three wagon loads of grain were all that arrived up to Tuesday, two of these being stored at the Wasco warehouse. Mr. C. L. Phillips paid a flying trip to Mosier last Sunday and came back . deeply impressed with the fact that there is no part of Wasco county, and for that matter no part of Eastern Oregon, better adapted to fruit raising than that section. Louis Delco of Wapinitia had the mis fortune to lose about 300 bushels of grain last" week by a fire that started in one of his grain stacks. Through the efforts of neighbors in covering adjoining stacks with canvas and blankets and keeping them wet, his remaining stacks were saved. ... Benjamin Jager, hailing from Utah and destined for Mosier, was arrested Tuesday on the charge of cruelty to animals. - He was driving one horse in a cart and leading two . others that were poorer than the prov erb of Joseph's lean kine. We have have seen poor horses but we never saw poverty in horse flesh to equal these. The man who . lodged the com plaint has the thanks of this county. Jager is being tried as we go to pres6. The Dalles, Portland and Astoria Nav igation company, have fixed the rates on wheat, between this city and Portland at $2.20 per ton which is about four cents a bushel lees than the present rates of .the U. P. Co. Passenger rates are fixed at $2, single trip and 3, the round trip ; tickets good till used. The reduction on all classes of freight will average from SO to 40 per cent, less than the present railroad rates. The Regulator will make her trial trip not later than next Monday, Mr. T. A. Hudson, who has lately re- . turned from the Atlantic coast has been authorized to select somewhere in East ern Oregon about a thousand acres of . land, adapted for fruit culture. The selection will be in the interest of an Eastern syndicate and it is the desire of Mr. Hudson to locate the lands as near The Dalles as possible, provided he can t secure suitable lands and at reasonable .rates. A project of this kind would be of immense benefit to the country and '.we earnestly hope it may be carried out. .Paquet & Smith will make the trial . trip of the Regulator next Monday. They have extended an invitation to all the stockholders to accompany the boat - on its trip.' In the absence of ' Mr, " Paquet, Mr. Hugh Glenn will issue the tickets to the stockholders. After the trial trip, if the boat fulfills the con tract, she will then be turned over to the company, and be ready for service on picnics or excursions until the portage .and the lower boat are ready for busi ness. The man Benjamin Jager who was ar- rested Tuesday for driving three skele ton horses through the city, was very properly fined (as he had no money) by being ordered to have the horses prop erly fed and cared for during the night .and then clear out for Mosier bright and early in the morning. We suppose the '-order was strictly obeyed and that before these lines are set in type the good peo ple of Mosier will have' bad an addition Tto their live stock, in the form of three horses bo utterly poor and collapsed that Jill the bay on the original Mosier dona tion land claim would not suffice to U them out. . The people living on the north side of the river, who remember the inconven ience of being deprived of boat connec tion with the rest of the world when the U. P. company tied up their boat for several months last winter without any substantial reason except that it suited their convenience to do so, are terribly : in earnest about patronizing the Regula tor. A gentleman from Klickitat land- j ing was in the city yesterday who wants . to purchase a lot of supplies but merely took with him what he could carry in his hand, preferring to wait till lie can ship by the new boat. Every tunity. The first fire in the furnace of Regulator was started Monday. - . .Monday last the youngest child of D. J. Cooper fell from a wagon and broke her arm. The fracture was Teduced by Dr. W. E. Rinehart and the child is get ting along as well as could be expected, From Mr. H. M. Pitman of Dufur who is in the city- today we learn that the crop of Mr. William Vanderpool of that place nas just ueen thresned and pro duced an average of 25 bushels to the acre. This includes - wheat, oats and barley. The wheat is shrunken and it is feared that very little in that neigh borhood will be found in a different con dition. It is believed that all the thresh' ing crews out that way are now running at full blast. Klngsley Notes. The weather is hot and dry water is getting scarce. The farmers are getting along fine with their harvest. Pat Bolton and Tim Mayhew started our thrashing last week. Lots of hard work stares them in the face for the next six weeks to come. Wheat and oats are only panning out about half crop so far as have already been threshed. Ira Aniec is on the sick list. Ed. Boynton. has moved his stock and family to The Dalles to stay until after the fair. What is it that takes Frank Ward to Fraleys so much? I guess be wants to get Mr. Pugh to cut his oats. Frank Edward is a head of you there, oats or no oats. Pugh and Fraley has got about 90 acres of wheat to cut yet, and when done cutting, they will have over 100 cars to gather up. The boys will have to get in and work or the snow will catch them. We have an energetic blacksmith at Kingsley. He is always busy, and a more pleasant and accommodating man you never met; He talks a great deal about Sunday school, and you will al ways find him promptly on time meal time. Ed. Rondeau was putting on a great deal of style last Sunday evening buggy riding with one of the fair sex of Tygh Ridge, when his horse balked, and they had to walk up the hill. Ed had better start a foot after this, or get a horse that will not balk. It is hard work to talk to a girl and drive such a horse at the same time. Rasp. """""Ini eai.Lru'i'mf'ii;j"'iuLiui'. j-jtnt common council was held last night at the which there was a full attendance. The petition of the Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navigation company asking right of way of the water front of the Colum bia for construction and maintenance of an inclined wharf or boat landing was referred to the judiciary committee with instructions to report at next meeting. The judiciary was granted further time to report on the petition of Mary E. Walker and ordinance of W. U. Tele graph company. The reports of recorder, marshal and street commissioner were placed on file. The report of city attorney in the matter of liability of John Kashlierger was referred to the judiciary committee. The marshal was ordered to report to the next meeting the condition of the tax roll for 1890. An ordinance to provide for the re funding of certain assessments was le ferrcd to the finance committee. Ordinance 230 to provide for licensing certain games was passed. C. N. Thorn burry alone voting no. The chief engineer of the fire depart ment was instructed to purchase a new suction for fire engine. The recorder was instructed to cotract for construction of pigeon holes and shelves for use in vault of recorder's office. Paul Kreft, H. J. Maier and C. N. Thornbury were appointed a committee to investigate the matter of salaries paid the various city officers. The street commissioner was in structed to buy nails and re-nail city sidewalks, where needed. The city attorney was instructed to take steps to collect the notes of J. L. Story, N. W. Wallace and G. W. Miller, but uot to bring suit till further ordered. The mayor and recorder were in structed to cancel the notes given in favor of the real estate fund of Dalles City by Dalles City, the same having been paid by sale of bonds and the pro ceeds turned over to the city water fund.

We are glad to welcome her to our neighborhood. Now boys who will be the next to make a trip to the valley, There was another quiet wedding last Saturday.

Last week there appeared in the pages of our contemporary the Sun a column article describing a rich' gold discovery on Salmon river, ten or fifteen miles south-west of Mount Hood. The Chron icle was aware of the alleged discovery from the first but refused to write it up till there was assurance that it was a real find. It is said that fully 80 to 100 persons from Eight Mile and Dufur left everything and rushed to Salmon river only to find, as they assuredly did, that if there is any gold in that section it has yet to be discovered. A gentleman in this city, who did not visit the alleged mines procured some of the rock and sent it to assayer J. H. Fish of Portland and we are permitted to copy the result which reads as follows : "No Gold, No Silver. This sample possesses no value. Jttespectiniiy, J. H. Fisk." Unnecessary bufferings. There is little doubt .but that many persons suffer for years with ailments that could easily be cured by the use of some simple remedy. The following in cident is an illustration of this fact: My wife was troubled with at pain in her side the greater part of the time tor three years, until cured by Chamber lain's Pain Balm. It has, I think, per manently cured her. We also have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy whenever needed and believe it to be the best in the world. P. M. Boston, Pennville, Sullivan Co., Missouri.

' The mail sacks in both instances were cut in the same way by being slashed in the sides with a knife. Usually the straps are cut."

About one-thiTd of the residence and business part of The Dalles is in ashes and perhaps not less than a thousand people, at this writing are left homeless. The fire started about 1 o'clock in a one story dwelling oh the south side of Sec ond street between Madison and Jeffer son. The house was occupied by J. H. Larsen and at the time of the fire no one was in it. Before the engine had got to work the fire had spread to the houses on each side. ' In less than half an hour it had started in the old Grimes feed stable which was nothing but a huge two story fire trap and from, that moment till seven or eight o'clock in the evening it carried everything before it. For ' hours after the fire started the wind blew a stiff gale from the northeast and the town was com pletely at its mercy, till it calmed down about 4 o'clock and gave a fighting chance to the citizens to save the entire city from ruin. As many as seveuteen or eighteen blocks are in ashes. The Vogt block, the pride and beauty of the city, the opera house, the Methodist, Baptist and Congregational churches, the large implement warehouses and stores of Gibons, Macallister & Co., Fil- loon Brothers and E. P. FitzGerald, and the handsome brick block of I. C. Nickel sen besides five or six hundred resi dences, all succumbed to the devouring flames. Every building between the railroad track . . on the north, the bluff on the. south, Madi son street on the east and Laqghlin street on the west save the depot build ing and two residences are gone and nothing is left but a dreary waste of ashes and the chared trunks of the handsome shade trees. The region too, bounded bv Third street, Washington, the bluff and Union street is cleared put. save only the brick school house and the residence of George . Ruch and . these were only . saved by almost super human efforts. Not much less, if any, than a million dollars worth of property has gone up in the flames Fortunately the Cosmopolitan and Umatilla houses were saved'and these two caravansaries furnished shelter last night, for hundreds whom the fire had rendered homeless. Others found lodg ing in the homes of the more fortunate neighbors, and still other? spent the night on the beach keeping watch over what little they had rescued from the flames. It is impossible, at this writing. to make anv approximate estimate of the amount of insurance covering the property destroyed. It is safe to say that many who were well off yes terday morning are today ruined or badly crippled, ' while many poor people who had no insurance lost their little all The only serious accident 80 far as we have been able to learn happened to Jo soph P. FitzGerald, son of Mr. E. P FitzGerald, who got seriously burned about the arms, hands, breast and face while making his escape through the flames in his father's residence. ' As he did not inhale any of the flames and is possessed of a good constitution,' it is hoped he may recover. Early yesterday evening the mayor placed the city nnder martial law in charge of the sheriff and city marshal. About thirty citizens and members of the 0. N. G.f under arms paraded the town all night for the pur pose of protecting property saved from the flames and scattered almost every where, but which it was found impos sible to transfer to a place of safety. A number of suspicious characters were thrown into jail for the night and were released this morning and ordered to move off. This morning the Mayor re voked his order placing the city under martial law, and appointed the fol lowing persons as a relief committee to receive contributions for those need ing help and to whom all applica tions for aid are requested to be made Mesdames Thomas S. Lang, Smith French, J. 0. Mack, N. B. Sinnott, -B S. Huntington, and Hugh Glenn. And Messrs. Geo. A. Liebe, George Ruch, M.A.Moody, D.M.French arid C. N Thornbury. A List of the Losses.

The residence of Ad Keller was saved, though how it escaped while everything near it was destroyed is a miracle. Hundreds of victims of the fire are on the streets this moming visiting the ruins of their homes or endeavoring to gather together what they have left after the fire. Had the wind continued to rage as it did during the first two or three hours of the fire, it is beyond a doubt that all that is left of the city below the bluff would have been destroyed.. During the progress of the fire the usual rumors were afloat about persons having been blown up, burned up, etc. All proved false exeeptjthat regarding Joe FitzGerald, referred to elsewhere. The credit of saving the' brick school house is largely due to the lady teachers who ably assisted the principal and stood at the open windows and kept them from catching fire by a. copious use of water applied from dippers. The passenger depot was saved by the efforts of two or three officials and seven oreight section hands. It caught on fire two or three times but everything of value, even the safe, was moved ont of the building. A special train by order of General Manager McNeil, arrived from Portland last night about 8 o'clock, bringing a fire engine to help subdue the fames. By that time, however, the wind had calmed down and the fire was under control Numbers of men and women during the day fell to the ground from the ex citement, heat and exhaustion and had to be borne off and taken care of by friends. Half an hour after the com mencement of the fire the reporter saw as many as three at one time faint from exhaustion in the East End two women and a man. Une ot the attendant physicians in forms us, just before, going to press that Joe FitzGerald passed a very rest less night and that he may have a hard time to pull through. The flesh on his hands and arms from the finger tips to the shoulders is burned to a crisp and almost to the bone, so that .if he should recover his arms and hands will be crippled for life. He is extensively burned about the face, head, back and chest and will have a hard time to pull through. MARKET REVIEW. ft liter Thursday, September 8, 1891.

In the Antipodean wilds of that new South Pacific repub lic everything has some remarkable characteristic peculiarity. Instead of the leaves having their flat sides turned to the ground they stand edgewise. . The opossum of America is the only species of paunched animal known to the world outside of Australia. On the Australian continent there are at least 110 species having that distinguishing peculiarity. They have been arranged into five tribes, according to the food they eat The root eaters (wombats), the fruit eat ers (phalangers). the grass eaters (kan garoos), the insect eaters and the fish eaters (native cats and rats). Of the wombats there are four species, all of which burrow in the ground. Two. other very curious animals are fonnd in Australia that are unknown in any other part of the world. These are the echidna and the ornithorhynchu3. This latter is a species of beast shaped like a beaver, but having web feet and bill like a duck. Then there is a fly in. mouse, about half the size of our com- mon mouse and of a bright red color. has a very long, furry tail, which is nsed as a rudder and looks much like a feather when fully expanded. The trees are always in full leaf, but Bhed their bark every year, which fact alone would be sufficient to make the Antipodean continent a wonderland. The leaves or nearly all the trees are highly aromatic, font the native flowers, though or most brilliant tint, have no fragrance whatever. In writing of the backward order of things in Australia, Mr. M. W. Ullathome says: Australia, is the anupode or the en tire world. In that country a rising barometer indicates rain, and a falling barometer fair weather. The swans are black and the eagles white: the mole is oviparons and has a duck's beak; the dogs have a wolfs head, a fox's tail, and never bark. They also have a bird with a tongue like a broom, and a fish which has part of the body belonging to the genus Kaia and part to the genus Squale. Many winged serpents are fonnd there and fish with large feathery wings. The emu is a bird as large as an ostrich, but instead of feathers has hair. One bird has a note like a bell, another aries like a child, while a third laughs as though his sides would 'split. St. Louis Re public. Hawthorne. Ancestry and local surroundings, men tal gifts and mental defects, unite to make Hawthorne the greatest master of the preternatural, the magician of the spell of supernatural awe. From every side come the elements which produce the effect of nnsubstantiality his power of pensive brooding, the brown twilight color which wraps his figures in a strange, hazy atmosphere, the coldness of his analysis, the self possession of his style, the indefiniteness of his touch, the inde terminateness of his end. His heroes and heroines have little warmth; they scarcely talk like ordinary men and women: they move self consciously: they speak constrainedly, as though there is something present which reads their thoughts, notes their gestures. registers their actions. The human interest is never so over powering as to break through the film of the atmosphere. A master of the by play of suggestion, his hints meet us at every turn. His subtle mind and pic torial imagination give ghostly signifi cance to the commonest objects. He works out the central idea in marvelous detail, never presenting it nakedly, but always giving it concrete shape, exhibits it from fresh points of view, offers it in new combination, till the reader ends by feeling that he is himself haunted by the impalpable, inevitable presence of Hawthorne's thought. Edinburgh Re view. Cause of White Hair After Bnrninc, Says Dr. Leonard, in explaining the cause of the growth of white hair after burns or abrasions of the scalp: "The burn or inflammatory action has ex tended deep enough to destroy the top of the papilla, but not enough to implicate the base, and hence a white hair is the result. If we represent the papilla in the follicle diagrammatically by the let ter A, then that portion above the cross bar in the letter will represent the color forming part of the papilla; that below. the hair forming portion." It is very remarkable that every burn or abrasion of the scalp resulting in the growth of white hair should be so ac curately graduated as to just take off the top of the papilla o remarkable, in fact, that we venture to doubt it and to set forth a different view pf the color producing process in the hair. Hyland C. Kirk in New York Times. Don't Worry About Being Sick. One of the best ways to keep in - good health is not to think or worry too much about it. If you feel strong and well don't imagine that some invidious dis ease may be secretly attacking your con stitution. Many people are like the in experienced traveler who anxiously in quired about the symptoms of seasick ness, and how he should knov when he had it. One generally knows when he is sick, and frequently many supposably alarming symptoms prove, upon inves tigation, to be either perfectly natural occurrences or of very slight importance. Monthly Bulletin. " Two Sights In Boston. I may be oversensitive, but two things that 1 saw yesterday struck me as being rather peculiar. The first was a police man in full uniform with an umbrella in his hand, and the second one of Duels Sam's mail wagons being used to move furniture. Boston News. Hales for Dress. Dress yourself fine where others are fine, and plain where others are plain; but take care that your clothes are well made and fit you, for otherwise they will give you a very awkward air.
