steps are being taken towards the
building of a wharf boat, by the D.
and A. N. Co., for the Hood River land

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

Judge O.N. Denny of Portland passed j""d mU8ter- Company cammanders

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Every available corner is rented, and
others would locate if they could find a

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

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.

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.

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.
