r TBI DALLES, - - OREGON FRIDAY, - - - -OCTOBER 23, 1891. LOCAL AD PERSONAL Of be The county board of equalization is in session this week. Mr. D. w. Vause lias let the contract for the building of a new honse. Eev. O. D. Taylor and daughter re turned Tuesday from an extended trip to the east. 51. V. Harrison of Hood River ex pects to ship a car-load of apples to Montana this week. Mrs. J. O. Warner of Naneene left on the noon train Tuesday to visit her son in Billings, Montana. The Ti met-Mountaineer has at last got ashamed of defending M. A. Mood Sic gloria transit Moodi. Mr. and Mrs. Jno. H. Middleton - , Hood River have gone to San Diego, Calif., to remain during the winter. steps are being taken towards the building of a wharf boat, by the D. and A. N. Co., for the Hood River land ing. . The friends of Billy McCoy wM , pleased to learn that he and Mrs. McCoy are now in Utah where they have joined . Dr. Steiner, late ot this city, and that both are enjoying excellent health. A few days ago Robert Yance the fourteen-year-old step-son of Jno. How ell of Rock Creek, near Wamic in this country got thrown from a horse, from which he received injuries that, it feared might prove fatal. Wheat is selling at 60 cents and bar ley at 70 cents in the Grand Ronde val ley and the farmers are complaining that tnese prices are not high enough when compared with outside prices. They think that a few middle men are getting away with the profits. The Wasco county farmers' alliance convention held at Hood River last week was well attended, delegates being pres- .ent from all parts of the country. A resolution was adopted condemning the present school text-book svstem as an oppression. History often repeats itself. Old set tlers remember the time when the rail road company reduced the rate to Port land to fifty cents and a number of Dalles people having been caught in " Portland, when the opposition was killed off, they had to pay $4 to get back. . Jacobeen & Co., refused yesterday to receive a lot of goods which they had ordered shipped by the Regulator but which came np the river by the Baker. It is the same old game. The goods were plainly marked and everything was reg ular, so far as instructions and shipping receipts were concerned.' ;A. M. Bramer of Xansene cut this year about six acres of oats from which he threshed 250 bushels, and each bushel ' weighs forty-eight pounds. Reckoning thirty-six pounds to the bushel this is over fifty-five bushels to the acre, a very good yield for this year. The old and reliable livery firm of . Ward & Kerns is now ready for business at the old stand. The handsome new barn is fitted out with every accomoda tion and Tom Ward, the prince of livery men is always on hand to bee that his customers get the best treatment the v house can furnish. A few days ago a steer raised on the bunch grass plains of Crook county, by Howard & Baldwin, was weighed on the scales at Sherar's Bridge and tipped the beam at 1920 pounds. Another, a four-year-old belonging to S. L. Logan weighed 1950 pounds pounds. Our in formant asks, "How is that for dry bunch grass and cold mountain water?' ine memDers ot Mount Hood grange of Eight Mile have taken steps to build a new grange hall and already subscrip tions have been received sufficient to insure the success of the measure. It is expected to have it built and ready for occupancy this fall. This grange is in a very flourishing condition having membership of fifty persons. A Klickitat farmer sells his wheat to the Union Pacific Company and thinks . he has made a haul when he gets couple of cents more than if he had sold it to the friends of the Regulator but suppose a1! the farmers stood in with the Union Pacific as against the Regulator what would the farmers get for their wheat next year when the Regulator is driven off the river? The people on the west side of Hood River are in the fair way of getting an irrigating ditcn, tnat will tap the mam stream and convey at least 3000 inches of water on the fine fruit lands of the "valley. The money needed is to be fur nished by a gentleman who has recently made his home there, and about all that :is now needed is the right of way for the ditch. t . M. Thompson of Dufur has sent to 'this office a half, sack of potatoes of the Burbank variety that would be hard to ibeat anywhere. An ordinary burlap -sack is about half filled with exactly Ttwenty potatoes.. No country in the world can beat Eastern Oregon for rais ang potatoes. Remember these were raised on ordinary bunch -grass land w ithout a drop, of irrigation. The Union Pacific sent out two yesterday to catch passengers William Hastings ot i'utur is in lue city. gMr. and Mrs. Sam Broyles of Wamic are in the city. John Kroger of Hood River gave this office a pleasant call today. F. M. Warner of Tygh Ridge, is regis tered at the Umatilla house. j The Dali.es, Oh., Oct. 22, 1891.) General Orders ,J No. 9. I. The Field Staff, Jfon-Com. Staff, Band and the different Companies of this Regiment, will assemble at their armories an Saturday, November 7, 1891, at 8 :30 p. m., for annual inspection Judge O.N. Denny of Portland passed j""d mU8ter- Company cammanders run ners for the. Baker at 50 cents a ticket to Portland. The Baker got two hobos that the town was glad to get rid of and never wants to see back. Two fine young fel lows from the Kingsley country were of fered tickets when they politely ans wered the runner, "You can go to Sheol with your tickets. We would not go by .the tfaker if you paid us for doing so. Will our readers in the counties east -of The Dalles and our exchanges in Eastern Oregon please take notice that each passenger going west to Portland -can save six dollars on the round trip by getting off at- The Dalles and taking the Union Pacifies boat. The Union Pacific does not pay the Chosicle any- thing for this advice. We give it free because we are anxious that the com pany may reap the full benefit of their -damnable attempt to drive the peoples' line of boats off the river. Robert Yance, the step-son of John "Howell of Wamic, who was thrown "violently from a horse against a tree a few days ago, is reported still uncon seiaut and fears are aatartaiaad of his though the city today on the noon pas senger. T. A. Hudson returned today from a business trip to Tacoma, Seattle aud Portland. W. J. Thompson, of Fossil, is in the city on a visit to his brother ex-County Clerk George H. Thompson. Hon. Binger Herman remained in the city overnight and left for the country east of here on the noon passenger. Mat Blasen has purchased the' saloon i business of N. B. Whyres and will con tinue the business at the old. stand. Mrs. C. G. Roberts of Hood River, who has been in the city for the past few days left for her home this morning. John Doe was drunk again, Con Howe put him in the skookum house last night, and he paid for his lodging likea little man this morning. Several hundred head of cattle were at the stock yards yesterday on the way ro the Yakima country to be fed during the coming winter on Alfalfa hay. irom John Krogerof Hood Kiver we learn that the fall wheat is already three or four inches high in the Hood River valley and otherwise looking well. The Baker landed ten passengers yes terday at White Salmon. They are sup posed to have been Indians and the moment their leet touched the. bank .of the river they took to the brush appar ently ashamed of what they had done. A gentleman . from the Washington side of the river shipped by the Regu lator this morning fifty-three head of fat bogs. The Union Pacific folks sent him word that they would carry them for less money than anybody. "Tell your master, Jay Gould," said the hon est granger, "that you cannot have them f you carried them for nothing." Mr. S. W. Herman of the firm of Hol- man & Co., draymen and forwarders of Portland is in the city in the interest of his firm. Mr. Herman's firm desires to obtain the business of transferring freights from the various railroad and steamboat lines terminating in Portland to the Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navi gation company. Con Howe arrested a confirmed spec!- i men of the genus hobo last night, a lazy, 1 drunken, dirty bundle of total deprav ity. After a solemn council of war held the recorder's office this morning it was concluded to give him the choice of going off somewhere and hanging him self or leaving the city . by the D. S. Baker. He chose rather, to hang him self and it was so ordered. P. Willig the tailor, whose wife des erted his bed and board a few weeks ago, complains bitterly that his credit is too good in this city. When he first came here three years ago he was refused credit for 50 cents worth of soap. Siace his wife left him $80 worth of bills, for goods purchased by her, unknown to him, have been presented for payment. He says he is not shoveling money into his till just now but he wifl pay every cent as soon as he is able and then draw a dead line. , The Regulator left this morning loaded down to the . gunwale. There were nearly 30 passengers 700 sacks of wheat, 53 head of hogs, wagons and numerous miscellaneous freight. The Chboxiclb is proud to belong to a com munity that can furnish, any ordinary morning, a boat load of men and women whom the Union Pacific cannot buy for a piece of silver. - Brethern and sisters let us stay with the people's line of boats tell the regions of Pluto are incrusted with a solid coating of what our facetious contemporary calls the "congealed ele ment." It is very questionable if there is a more interesting wheat market any where on the American continent than that which is being daily held at the Washington end of the Rockland ferry. It is a battle between a giant and an in fant, between a powerful and unscrupu lous corporation and a little band of citi sens whose only strength lies in the jus tice of their cause. It isiiot M. A. Moody against George Smith, but the Union Pacific against the Dalles, Port land & Astoria Navigation Co. Yester day the battle field was visited by Gen- eral Freight Agent Campbell and a long council of war was held between him and M. A. Moody in full view of a dozen or more Klickitat grangers. Mr. Moody acts as the company's agent himself, be ing unwilling, it would appear, to share the disgrace of antagonizing the inter ests of the people with a subordinate. Even a bank has no interest compared with the work of crushing the Regulator. Eighty-two cents a bushel is Mr. Moody's tap. Beyond this the Union Pacific will not allow him to go. The company can then carry it to Portland and sell it there without greater loss than that of the freight. Even at this price Mr. Moody does not get it all. To the honor of some of the Klickitat farm ers they have sold their wheat to Mr. Smith at from one to two cents a bushel less than the price offered by Mr, Moody. One gentleman who does not wish bis 'name published, after being offered 82 cents by Mr. Moody turned to Mr. Smith and said. "You can have it for 80 cents." George Walkington sold two loads at a cent less; N. O. Crevalin one load at a cent less; John Kibla one load at a cent less ; M. Moran one load at a cent less and John Matison one load at a cent and a half less. All honor to these men. May their numbers increase and multiply. will see that all state property belonging to their companies is present for inspec tion on that night. Muster rolls and property returns must be made out in triplicate, up to and including Novem ber 7, and two copies of each report,' properly dated and signed by the com pany commanders, will be forwarded to these headquarters immediately after inspection, so as to arrive here not later than the 12th. II, Companies B, D, E, F, I and K, will be inspected by their company com- j menders : Companv H by Major J. P. I Lucas; the Staff, Non-Com. Staff, Band, A and C companies by the regimental .commander at the county court house. III. The members of the Non-Com. Staff, Band, A and C companies, will turn over to the R. Q. M. all uniforms Or parts of uniforms, arms or equipments which may have been saved by them from the fire. IV. The 3d Regt. Band will be mus tered out of the service of the state at this inspection. V. Drum-Major Jos. P. FitzGerald, and late adjutant of this regiment, was burned to death in the conflagration of September 2, 1891, which swept away our armsry and, the greater portion of this city. By his death this regiment loses one of its most promising officers. VI. Company commanders will see that their monthly drill reports are for warded more promptly. By order of T. A. Hoi'OHTOx, Official r Colonel J. F. Hawobth, 1st Lieut, and Adjt. volver. The particulars of the sad affair are as follows : Homer and Wm. How ard, a young nan who is working for Mr. Hutchinson, were in the barn work ing with a horse they had just brought from the pasture. Howard had laid assde his coat, on the inside pocket of which was his revolver. Homer spoke about taking the revolver out of the pocket, but was cautioned to leave it alone. Howard turned around towards the horse, aad a moment afterward heard a shot and the exclamation of the : hoy, "Oh, I have shot myself!" He then picked the unfortunate lad up and started with him towards the house. Homer only spoke once after he was taken up, and that was a request to be put down while Howard was earring him. The ball from the pistol struck him in the right breast, and he only lived a few moments after reaching the j house. Dr. Gaily, who happened to be i passing, was called and rendered all t he assistance possible to Mrs. Hutchinson, who was completely postrated by the unfortunate affair. Mr. Hutchinson started for Elgin yesterday morning, but was overtaken near Lostine by a mes senger with the sad news of his boy's death, and hastily returned home last evening. Homer was a bright little fellow, the only child and the idol of his parents. His death is a terrible blow to them, and their many friends throughout the valley will deeply sympathize with them in their bereavement. WAfCO ACADEMY NOTBI. Several new members were admitted to the literary society at its last meeting. Quite a number of the students are temporarily absent from school on ac count of slight illness. It is hoped that all will soon be able to resume their places in the different classes. Thp rhetoric class varied the usual rnn desf Ad wa of md Horrible Story of youthful DepraYlty A horrible story of youthful depravity came to light Sunday when Albert Kohis, a sixteen-year-old boy fn -the employ of a farmer named Kodatz, re siding near Milwaukee, Wis., confessed that he had murdered his employer's fifteen-year-old daughter Annie. He had been intimate with the girl, who was weak-minded, and was about to be- ; come a mother. Not relishing this turn of affairs, he killed her October 7th and secreted the body. On the day of the murder he first put into the soup which the family was to have for dinner a large quantity of pans green. Mr. Kodatz eat sonp first, and being taken violently ill, at once prevented the others from partaking of it. After the failure of the poisoning scheme he went to repair a hole in the barn floor. Annie went with him, and while she was hold ing a board for him to saw, he crushed I her head with A hammer and placed the body in the hole. He then covered it with manure and nailed down the floor. Tic! fee' bat def bea may Wasco county mora courageous than The Dalles nine. If so, the academy boys have an open challenge for any of them. They claim to be the champioas of the county and are willing to defend their claim ou the diamond. Quite an amusing rivalry exists be tween the arithmetic classes of the upper preparatory and lowest academic grades. The former art putting forth all their powers to prevent the latter getting much ahead, with - excellent results for themselves certainlv. does not realize pie. the enorniitv of hit BRIEF STATE KIWI.

Mrs. Amos Root and daughter, Ros- ella, who have been spending a few weeks in Portland, returned last Saturday. Mr. Ed. Phillips, who has been visit ing here, returned to Portland Sunday evening. Miss Nellie Cooper, who has been vis iting friends here, left for The Dalles Monday evening where she is now visit ing her brother. She expects to return to her home in Keithsburg, Illinois, in a few weeks. We predict she will soon return to our beautiful climate. Mr. L. Lamb and two daughters, Misses Lizzie and Katie, were visiting friends Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. Marsh and son, Willie, came up on the Regulator Monday evening.

According to official reports tobacco is raised in fourteen counties in Oregon, Linn being the banner one. In point of average value per acre Oregon stands third among the states. The Echo Milling Company are build ing and have nearly completed two warehouses with a capacity of 150,000 bushels. The mills have a daily output of from 125 to 140 barrels, and have con- cracted for 100,000 bushels of wheat from the Walla Walla valley. There are a great many Wheat is arriving in large quantities and the ' market is excited. Since the Union Pacific have commenced to purchase through their agent at this place the, price has de pended on what the friends of the Regu lator are able to pay. The stiff compe tition at Rockland has run the price up to eight."-two cents, l he same price would prevail here if the Regulator could afford to carry wheat for nothing. Meanwhile the farmers are reaping the ! benefit of an open river, and the pres ence of the Regulator, properly so named. So much inferior wheat is being offered that prices take a wide range.

Important Notice. All passengers for Portland from the counties east of Wasco connty can sate (6 on the round trip by buying tickets for The Dalles by the west-bound passenger that arrives here at 5 o'clock a. m., and then shipping for Portland by the Baker for fifty cents. No plan that the Chbox iclb can think of at present can help the Regulator more than this. Will Eastern Oregon and Washington papers that want an open river publish this notice and keep it before the people. If the Union Pacific can afford to lose f6 on every passenger carried by the Baker the Regulator will manage to subsist on tha bar satisfastiom f tha tkiag. i Ulane Meeting-. Hood Riveh Or., Oct. 19th, 1891. Editor Chronicle: The Wasco county farmers meeting held here Tuesday, October 13th, was well attended, delegates being present from all parts of the county. The time was consumed ia discussing questions of interest to the farmer. The evening session was an interesting meeting. The ladies served a nice dinner which was enjoyed by all present. A meeting was held Wednesday morn ing at which it was resolved that we condemn the present school text book system as being an oppression, after which the convention adjourned and the delegation' returned on the Regulator in the evening. W. J. Campbell. A Pointer on Kate. Wheat is worth all the way from 84 to 8o cents a bushel at Rockland while it is only 72 to 74 cents at Grants. It will therefore pay the Klickitat farmers who are now hauling wheat to Grants to bring it to Rockland. Let them make hay while the sun shines. They may n"t always have the Regulator to bring about this state of affairs. Let them take advantage of the boom. The steamboat rate has been reduced to fifty cents between here and Portland. Let all person going west buy tickets to The Dalles and then take the 50 cent rate to Portland, by this means each passen ger will save 8.00 on the round trip. Sled.

The Willowa Chieftain of the loth inst. contains the following : lettray aTwot 11 'leek Be, deer being killed in the Coast range, along the line of the Oregon Pacific, and taken to the Portland market for sale. The passen ger train brings out from six to eight nearly every morning, and occasionally the carcass of a big black bear adorns the baggage car.. TheCorvallis Timet says: "There is only one vacant residence in Corvallis waiting for an occupant, and tlito is not a very desirable place it is the county jail. This speaks volumes for the law and order of a thrifty community. Every available corner is rented, and others would locate if they could find a place to live." Umatilla county farmers were obliged to abandon their intention to have a day of jubilee and speech making at Pendle ton, October 15. President Polk of the i National Farmers' Alliance and Indus trial Union, is ill at his home in Wash ington, D. C, and will be unable to ful fill the srpoiattments made for his in tended fSftto Oregon and Washington. Grace Bradley, the little daughter of the Union Pacific depot agent at Athena, the other day found a check, payable to bearer and signed by the Oregon state treasurer, for $3500, in the north part of town. It was turned over to the bank Who it belongs to or how it came there is a mystery, says the Athena Press. It is more than likely the check is a clumsy attempt at a forgery, as checks by the state treasurv are not usuallv made out to bearer. Tuesday morning while "Billie" Sims was melting some axle grease in order to reduce it for lubricating purposes in the "bunk house" at Shirley's stock farm northeast of Union, it boiied over on the stove and ignited. The flames rapidly spread beyond the control of those present. The entire building with its contents consisting principally f beddinK. and the working men's clothes, was burned. The loss is about $1200. This is the fourth time his bunk house has been consumed. The wind was fortunately blowing in a direction away from the other buildings, other wise they would have been destroyed. Republican. The action of the Chamber of Com merce in adopting the Paul Mohr line may result in a portage road being built sooner than it could be accomplished in anv other way. However desirable it may. be to haye this work done speedily still a little saving of time will prove a poor compensation for work done in a manner that may eventually do more harm than good. The corporation whose proposition to do the work has been accepted has a capital stock of $1,000,000, and the people of Portland when they raise the $300,000 will hold that amount of the capital stock. As the estimates show that the workman be done for $600,000, there is abont fifty per cent, water in the stock to start on. It is simply giving a railway and navi gation company a cinch -on the whole thing. Who will .own it ten years from now is just as uncertain as any other event, but that it will never materially interfere with the railroads in handling the crops of Eastern Oregon is attended with very little ScdAB8-?-Colden C in half bbls, b4 cents.

While bailing out a scow at Jim Crow Sands, one of Enyhart's workmen forgot to replace the .plug before relaunching the scow and thus narrowly eecaped death. The night was stormy, and about 8 o'clock one of the men discovered that the scow was sinking. Those -on board climbed on the roof for safety and left some horses which were on board to their fate. The sides of the shanty were broken by the force of the waves and one of the horses swept overboard. The animal managed to get its fore feet on the edse of the scow and remained in that, position the entire night. The daraege done was slight. Attorian. V. 8. Land Office, The Dalles.
