About 25 head of horses are now in
training for the coming fair and ten more

the sound of the saw and the hammer
' is heard on every hand.

'to a representative of the relief- com
mittee Monday morning.
Mr. Horace Rice of Boyd has the
thanks of the Chronicle for the present
of a box of delicious peaches.

Hamburg, MuBcat, Tokay and Rose of
Peru grapes. '
Frank . Huott and family removed
Tuesday back to the old ranch on eight
mile, which Mr. . Hnott has rented for
five years.
Six passengers left on the Regulator
Tuesday and seven had to be turned
off -because they could not be carried
- through to Portland.
' Brakemau B. W. Maddox, while coup
ling cars, in tnis city, Wednesday , was
caught between them and received in
ternal injuries that may go very hard
with him. ' -
Andrew Urqubart, of Mill creek, was
. among the first to contribute to the
needs of the sufferers by the fire in the
form of a number of boxes and sacks of
' fruit and potatoes.
The other day on the ranch of R. V.
Drake of Eight-Mile the J. I. Case agi
tator threshing machine of Steve Kist
ner threshed in one hour 345 bushels of

the fire..
Mr. T. A. Hudson received, Monday
a letter from Hon. Phil. Metehan of
Salem, enclosing a check for $33 to be
disbursed among the sufferers by the
late fire. The contributors are Phil
Metehan $20, Frank E. Hodgkin $10 and
J. D. Sootherland $5.
. The contributors to the people's' line
of boats, between this city and Portland
did not go into the business to make
money but to give relief to the people
and build up the country. Now that
. the line will soon be a complete estab
lished fact the people must sustain itvor
go back to the position they were in be
fore.
We call attention to the reward offered
by Mrs. T. Baldwin of this city, of $20,
for the return of a lady's gold watch,
which she lost on the streets of The
Dalles, one day lost week. The reward
offered represents the full value of the
watch to any one except Mrs. Baldwin,
to whom it is valuable only because it
was a wedding present given to her
- Lv her deceased husband, Mr. Tim
Baldwin.
The attention of advertisers is called
to the fact that the Weekly Chronicle
has the largest circulation in the county
of any paper published here, while the
Daily Chbonicljs has not less than three
limes the circulation of any daily pub
lished in the county. As an advertising
medium, therefore, the facilities of the
Chronicle are unsurpassed by those of
any other paper. If you want to reach
the people you must advertise in the
Chroniclk.

evening, give an entertainment in tne
court house eitch night, for four consecu

prices of 25, 50, and 75 cents.
It is very pleasant to note how deeply
interested the people are in tne success
of the People's line of boats. All along
the river, between here and the Cas-
cades the Regulator now crmes every
pound of freight and apparently every
passenger. It is said the boat, had
twenty passengers, this morning, and
she ought to and will have many more
when through connection is made.

For twenty years
A lad about fourteen years old, Ii;uuea
Geo. Dayton, whose father lives in Port
land, came near losing his life Tuesday
by jumping off a passenger train a short
distance west of the trestle that spans
Mill creek. The boy's story is that he
got on the train intending to go to the
next station. When the conductor came
along he asked him for his ticket, and
the boy said, "I've got none." "Then,:
said the conductor, "you had better get
off." The boy did so, and in the fall his
arm was broken near the wrist ; there is
is a slight contusion on the forehead and
one of his eyes is badly blackened. He
made his way back to the Umatilla
house, where Col. Sinnott took care of
him and called in Dr. O. D. Doane, the
company's physician, to attend to his
injuries. Colonel Sinnott telegraphed to
the lad's father in Portland and received
answer to have him properly cared for
till his mother would arrive, if it were
found necessary that she come up and
see him. The lad worked all day in the
Chronicle office yesterday, and was ex
pected back this morning.
New From Mosier.
Mosiee, Sept. 1, 1891.
Editor of tlu Chronicle :'
The weather is very delightful for this
time of the year.
The long looked for grange business
counsel time arrived at last, but owing
to farmers all lieing busy harvesting
there was not enough delegates to do
business.
Mr. Lynch, our merchant, returned
from Portland last Monday.
Mr. S. D. Fisher of The Dalles is
spending a few days in Mosier.
Mrs. S. R. Husbands is zuite sick, but
we hope she will soon be able to be out
among us again.
Some of the Mosier people visited The
Dalles te take in the circus.
We did have a snake story to tell but
as the one we read in the columns of the
Chronicle last week can beat the .
we have we won't say anything about it.
M. G.
Mr. J. L. Carroll came down Sunday
from Pendleton, having been delegated
hy the Workmen's Mutual Association
iJo visit The Dalles and learn for himself
the condition of the sufferers by the late
tire. Mr. Carroll, who, by the way, is a
grandson of Charles Carroll, one of the
signers of the declaration of independ
ence, brings with him $120 and a car
load of potatoes, flour, blankets, and
other clothing. This kindness of the
good people of our sister city will not
soon be forgotten by the people of The
Dalles. .
The Regulator scooped the entire local
' freight between The Dalles and the Cas
cades Tuesday, both ways, and the
Baker got nothing. The settlers on the
river are, almost to a man, in favor of
patronizing the Regulator and staying
with her. This is the right spirit. The
opposition afforded by the Regulator
and her consort on the lower river, the
Dalles City, will put thousands of dol
lars annually in the pockets of the pro
nucers of this country. It depends
largely with them whether the people's
line shall be sustained and they are not
worthy of the benefit if they do not, un
der all circumstances stay with it.
. The following buildings are now in
coarse of construction : A. frame store
building, 50x100 feet, by Mayor Mays for
Mays & Crowe ; a blacksmith and wagon
bopJ25x60 feet by Young, Kusa & Sand
rock ; a livery stable 50x100 feet by W.
N. Wiley for Ward & Kerns ; a dwelling
house by Wm. Michell for Mrs. Cram ;
another by Mr. Beers ; another by John
Filloon ; another by John FitzGerald ;
a store and dwelling by C. M. Brown ; a
store building by B. Wolff; another by j
McDonald Brothers . and several others.
The Odd Fellows are repairing their
hall and building, which was only par
tially destroyed ; a large warehouse will :
soon be built by Lord & Laughlin for
Filloon Brothers ; the Nickelsen block
will soon be rebuilt by French ACo. ;
and the Vogt block will undoubtedly be
rebuilt before many ' moons. And yet
this is only the prelude of what is to
follow as quickly as arrangements can
be made. A number of handsome resi- teinber . 12, to tha
-deuces may poseibly be deferred to the I Reid, a son. i
W. T. McClure of
Mosier, shipped hay from his landing to
The Dalles. The price till two years ago
was $2.40 a ton and the distance, it is
well known, is twelve miles. The com
pany always compelled him to accom
pany the hay and never forgot to charge
him a dollar fare each way. Two years
ago the company put down the rate to
$1.80 a ton for hay and 75 cents for pas
sengers. The Regulator has fixed the
rates so that its -patrons will have a little
left after they sell their products and
pay the freight and the people should
see that no opposition shall drive her off
the river. '
Major G. In gal Is of the Portland In
dustrial Exposition and Oregon on
Wheels," arrived in the city from the
counties of Oregon and Washington
east of us last evening. From him as
well as from the press wherever he has
been, we learn that great succesB has fol
lowed his efforts and creditable exhibits
will go in from all points visited. There
have been exhibits from our county,
only for "Oregon on Wheels," but there
should at once be a fine display of fruits
and vegetables sent from this county to
Portland's Exposition. Today and to
morrow everything of a creditable char
acter, setting forth onr resources, should
be properly packed and left at the store
of Leslie Butler or at Joles Brothers for
this object. The names of the different
rarities of fruit or vegetables, as well as
the name of the owner and his post-
office address, should be attached.
Again we say, let all our fruit raisers
and farmers send some exhibit to the
great exposition at Portland to advertise
our resources.
Council Proceedings.
A meeting of the common council was
held last night pursuant to the call of
the mayor, at which there was a full at
tendance. The city engineer was author
ized and instructed to act in conjunction
with and under the authority of the
mayor in the matter of surveying and
establishing the grades of streets. -
The petition of J. O. Mack and others
asking that all business houses be al
lowed to keep open doors during the
twenty-four hours of each day as here
tofore was granted.
An ordinance was passed unanimously,
providing for the closing of business
houses and prohibiting the sale of in
toxicating liquors, during the time of a
fire. !
The petition of MacEachern & Mac
Leod, asking permission to stretch a
canvass sign from the building they now
occupy to the one occupied by Snipes &
Kinersly was granted.
The communication of the Bowers
Rubber Co., (bids for hose) was read
and referred to the committee on fire
and water. C. E. Haight, chairman of
commitieeon fire and water,- reported
that temporary quarters for the fire en
gine and hose carriages had been pro
vided. '
The recorder was authorized to allow
responsible parties to take street lamps
belonging to the city, to be used by them,
at their own expense, for lighting the
East End, to be returned on demand of
the council.
The Dalles Postage Railroad.
At a meeting of the Portland chamber
of commerce, held on Tuesday evening,
the Portage Railway committee submit
ted a report to the effect that they had
had under consideration the propositions
of the two companies that propose
building portages on the Wasliington
and Oregon side of The Dalles of the Col
umbia respectively and that after having
gone over both of the routes they are not
satisfied that the estimates of cost on
which- the propositions are based are
sufficiently correct for the committee to
conscientiously submit- a final recom
mendation of either. The recommenda
tion of the committee to employ a rail
road engineer, of established reputation
to go over the routes as staked out and
ascertain the grades and prepare an esti
mate of the cost of construction was ap
proved.

was taken from a Chinese den of infamy
about two years ago, through the efforts
of the Woman's Home society, and she
bases her nlea on the ground of cruel
and inhuman treatment and desertion
She alleges she was married to Ah Sue
in this citv on the 24th of September,
1888, and that soon after their marriage
ha nomrielled her to enter a Chinese
house of prostitution and support him off
her shame, a urtnermore, sue stares no
abandoned her in 1889. and has not lived
with her since.' She asks for a decree of
absolute divorce, and the privilege of re
suming her maiden name, Lo Ah Tsoy.
Co-operation vs. State Aid
"I heartily believe in our farmers'
ability to help themselves by intelligent
co-operation . They can do it better than
the government can do it for them by
some of the idle schemes so zealously ad
vocated by certain visionary so-called re
formers. The sub-treasnry scheme is an
instance of one of these. It has been
fitly characterized as government going
into the pawnbroker business under the
emblem of three gilt balls. This with
fiat money schemes would debauch rath
er tnan befriend our farmers." This
outspoken opinion is from Edwin Sny
der, one of the executive committee of
the Kansas alliance exchange company
and the representative of that company
in the American live stock commission
company, air. snyuer practices wnat
he preaches, and has assisted Kansas
farmers to sell, through their exchange,
cattle to the amount of $600,000 last
year. That s the way to do it
Information Wanted.
A postal card has come to this office
containing the following which is self
explanatory: "My father Jeramiah
Marr, aged 65, weight 180 pounds

1890, since when we have not heard

Good Knongh.
W. T. McClure of Mosier has the honor
of being recorded in the purser's book
being the first passenger who paid
fare on the Regulator. Just as the boat
started on her first trip, last Monday
morning, Mr. McClure looked at his
watch, it indicated five minutes past
eight o'clock. TheJRegulator stopped at
the Klickitat landing to put off a pas
senger and some freight. When she ar
rived at the McClure landing, Mr. Mc
Clure again looked at his watch. It
was exactly 8 :44. The distance from
The Dalles to the McClure landing is
twelve miles and the Regulator made it
in exactly 39 minutes.

twenty-one years, two months, and seven

The fire engine will need to be shipped
to Portland for repairs. Portland has
generously offered to lend ns an engine
to take her place till she returns. Mr.
Lytle the obliging agent of the Union
Pacific Co., at this place, has succeeded
in obtaining tree rates for both engines
both ways. This is very kind of all con
cerned and merits the thanks of The
Dalles fire department and of the whole
city..
It Will be Rebuilt.
As we stated last week, The Dalles,
our own supply house, is almost a ruin,
or a pile of ruins. The briefest mention
we can make of the sad matter is to Bay
simply, that no less than eighteen busi
ness block 8 were consumed by fire. It
was a terrible fire, and our neighboring
city on the Columbia was almost ruined;
put it will rebuild. We say it in confi
dence it will rebuild. The looation,
the surrounding country, the natural
ness of the place for a town is left, and a
new city will spring into existence.

To Subscribers, Old and New.
In order to put The Weekly Oregonian
into the homes of those now without it,
the publishers make the liberal offer of
fifteen months for $2 00 to all who sub
scribe prior to January 1, 1892. This of
fer implies not onlv to new subscribers
but to renewals as well. In addition to
this, each new subscriber, or old sub
scriber renewing, is given his choice of
either "The American Livestock Man
ual." or the "Standard American Poul
try Book," which will be sent free, pos
tage prepaid. These are valuable works
of reference for the farmer.
The Weekly Oregonian is the great
weekly of the Northwest. There is no
weekly published on the Pacific coast.
or anywhere else, that furnishes readers
a fuller compendium of all the news of
the whole world than does the weekly
Ore.aonian. No other paper gives such
close attention to Pacific coast news, es
pecially to what is transpiring in the

Had Been Crippled
Marsufielp, Ogn., Sept. 17. Fred
Chandler and Edward Albertson, the
Tacoma bank robbers, were arrested four
miles below Gardiner last night by
Charles A. Lampkens, " Deputy United
States marshal of Tacoma, assisted by
W. W. Cochrane, of Eugene, and G. N.
Moore of Gardiner and J. T. Thompson
of Florence.
The arrest was effected by a well ar
ranged plan, skillfully carried into exe
cution. Albertson and Chandler were
completely taken by surprise, being or
dered to throw up their hands. They
were slow to comply, Chandler's hands
finally went up while Albertson reached
for his revolver, but Cochrane was too
quick, however, and shot simply to crip
ple the now desperate defaulter, making
only a flesh wonnd. They were easily
captured then and taken to Gardiner,
where medical aid was immediately sum
moned. Albertson has the best of care,
and is resting easily. Chandler talks
freely and exonerates all others than
himself and Albertson from complicity
of robbery, but will not give any details
leading up to the robbery of the bank
Lampkins will take Chandler out by way
of Drains tomorrow. Albertson will be
left in charge of Deputy Sheriff Coch
rane until able to be removed.

Rut Failed to Get the
Bar.
Nevada, Cal., Sept. 17. S. Galavotti,
superintendent of the Derlec drift mine,
was murdered by highwaymen this mor
ning while coming to the city with five
thousand dollars in gold bars, which had
just been cleaned up at the mine. Gal
avotti and J. D. Ostrom were in a two
horse buggy, ascending the South Yuba
River grade, six miles from the city,
when a rifle shot was fired from the
bank above, and the ball entered in the
back of Galavotti's head and emerged
from his mouth, causing instant death.
Astrom urged the horses into a run,
holding his companion's .dead body in
the vehicle with one arm. Upon reach
ing Mount Vernon House Astrom left
Galavotti's body and hid the bullion in
the brush, then rode to this city to no
tify the officers. - A wagon has just gone
out after the dead superintendent's body
and several squads of armed men are
starting for the scene of the murder.
Died For Love.
Woodland, Cal., Sept. 17. The life
less bodies of Miss May Adams and J.

morning lying in the rear yard of a
small unoccupied residence on College
street. It is supposed Montgomery
shot and killed Miss Adams and then
suicided. The victims are both of re
spectable parents, and the murder and
suicide is the result of a refusal on the
part of the lady's parents to permit their
marriage.
EDITOR'S FIGHT.
j Colonel Rufus Heptherone is a pronii-
says the Philadelphia Times. He was
recently the hero of an adventure rival
ing the extravaganzas of Jules Vernes
and Haggard, but which is vouched for
by eeveral other well-known reliable
gentlemen. Colonel Heptherone, in com
pany with three others, was endeavoring
to force a small stream of the class
known as lost rivers, as it loses itsself in
the earth after a run of a few miles.
This stream, known as Pilgrim's Friend,
ir very rapid, running downward with
great speed, and is at all times consider
ed dangerous to cross, but, being in
haste, Heptherone and his party resolv
ed to try it.
Heptherone led the way and had only
proceaed a few feet when his horse was
caught in the current and borne away
before the others could lend any assist
ance. Heptherone soon lost his hold on
the animal and gave himself up for lost
on approaching the -sint-hoie through
which the stream - looses itself. He
made an attempt to catch the earth as
he went under, but harrsed by the
powerful suction, vanished with the
stream. He became unconscious at this
point and knew no more until he found
himself in the hands of a couple of neg
roes, who were endeavoring to restore
him to consciousness.
These stated that they had been fish
ing in a small lake known as John's
pond, when they saw the body of a man
rise suddenly to the surface of the water,
and putting out in their boat, rescued
the colonel, whom it proved to be though
their boat was nearly capsized by the
volume of water that seemed to burst at
this moment from the bottom of the
pond. The spot where the Pilgrim's
Friend loses itself is over three miles
from the lake, with which it has no vis
ible connection, and there can scarcely
be a doubt of Colonel Heptherone ha vine
this incredible journey under ground
and an in the space oi a iew minutes
The modesty of The Dalles which
prevented her people from asking for
aid is not commendable. Here is a
great rich city anxious to send assist
ance to their suffering neighbors. It
was the duty of The Dalles to say that
she needed Portland's generosity. Sun
