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.

"No Gold, No Silver." .
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,

Died.
At the residence of Joseph Knebel, on
Mill Creek, at 6 o'clock this morning,
Miss Lavina Knebel of Junction City,
Lane county, Or. Miss Knebel arrived
here, only a few days ago on a visit. At
four o'clock this morning she was taken
with hemorrhage of the lungs and at six
she was a corpse. Her remains will be
shipped, this evening to Junction City.
They Speak From Experience.
"We know from experience ii the use
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy that it
will prevent croup," says Messrs. Gad-
berry & Worley, Percy, Iowa. They
also add that the remedy has given great
satisfaction in this vicinity, and that
they believe it to be the best in the
market for throat and lung diseases.

Mr. S. E. Farris returned last week
from a trip to Heppner whither he had
gone on the trail of the ' robber who
lately held up the Prineville stage. Mr,
Farris believes that the man who did
this deed is the same man who, a week
later, held up the Heppner and Canyon
City stage. The description of both
robbers tallies. ' 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." In both in
stances the robber wore a slouched hat
and blue overalls and was a man of med
ium hight. A posse of determined men
from Canyon City, Long Creek and other
places is after him. He changed horses
after the latter robbery and the horse
last taken is known.

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,

have been able to learn happened to Jo

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

Fire Notes.
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

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.

" trallu and Vicinity.
. In the following it is proposed to prove
that Australia can be termed "The Land
of Inverted Order." 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.
