THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Id, 1892. The Weekly Ghfooiele. -THE DALLES, ... - - OREGON FRIDAY, . - FEBRUARY 19, 1892. LOCAL AMD PERSONAL. From the Dally Chronicle, Friday. It is curreatly reported on the streets of this city that Senator Hilton is a can didate for congress. ( The farmers are as busy as can ba plowing np new ground and putting old .in condition for sowing. The police judge reports everything quiet in his department, which the tax .payers will be rejoiced to learn. J. W, Messinger, a well known farmer of Sherman coanty, and prominent lead er in the Grange, and Alliance, and in every movement intended to benefit the producing class, paid the city a visit .Friday. We have had the pleasure of a visit from Mr. James S. Brown who together with Mr. Albert Weaver has lately . ar rived from Georgia and taken up land on the AVapinitia Flat. The ' Cheosicb heartily welcomes these gentlemen to Wascp county. Representative Wilson of Washington -want's a new state carved out of the Northwest. His idea is to create a state out of the eastern half of Washington and the northern half of Idaho with Spokane as the capital. The new state would be as large as Idaho and include some of the finest agricultural land in the Northwest. Keely and Dubois of Dry Hollow offer for sale about 35 head of good grade roan Durham cattle. The cattle are all gen tie and about a dozen cows have been broken to milk. The band consist of from yearlings up no old cattle. They will be sold all together or single as may suit the purchaser They are an extra good lot of gentle cattle and will be 60'd at reasonable prices and on good terms. The weather is perfectly delightful and the mercury is reveling in the sixties. Several of our lady friends were out on a walk in the suburbs of the city Wednes day and surprised themselves by finding three varieties of wild flowers, the Golden Star, Sisyrinchium and Erigenia in full bloom. What locality can equal this in lattitude 45 36' 18 north. Our iarmers are busy with the plow and gardeners in preparing and planting. The great Adelaide Patti concert takes place Jn Portland on Friday the 26th, and the price of a seat at the entertain ment is fixed at $10.00 each. Al down stairs and six rows up stairs, are select ed as the choice ones. No seats will be sold until the 18th, when undoubtedly " there will be a rush. Ten dollars for two hours pleasure is rather steep, but fasci nations in that line catch. The manage ment will clean np not less than a clear 410,000. From the Daily Chronicle, Saturday. Frost is about all out of the ground, and farmers are plowing about Dufur. Dr. J. A. Gusendorfer, of Arlington, is registered at the Umatilla house today. The Slicks tone and Dry Hollow com panies have inaugurated a freight war. Miss Laura B. Johnston and Mr. Louis S. Fritz were married in Salem, on Thursday. Twelve carloads of beef cattle were fed -at the stock yards this morning and shipped to Portland. Abattior at Trout dale. Mr. H. Glenn has purchased the old Columbia Hotel lot on Main or Railroad street and will build a large warehouse on it at an early day. The Stone fish scow recently built on the beach in front of the city is in readi ness for the wheel which is being put together so as to receive the wire netting. The change of place for the road meeting from Tygh to Wamic, today, was because no place for the meeting to be held could be found at Tygh, says the Dispatch. t Reports from the stock ranges are very satisfactory as then has been no loss and stock has come through in fine con dition. The wool clip is expected to be very large and of fine staple. The sun is making patches on its face nowadays, not an uncommon fad, any one can see the spots or patches by taking a smoked glass, but these can be readily seen with the naked eye. E. B. McFarland of the firm of Mc Farland & French of this city was elected vice-president of the Oregon - National bank in Portland the other day. We congratulate Mr. McFarland on his success. Methodist services will be held in the brick school hou'.e tomorrow as follows : Class at 10 a. m., preaching at 11 a. m., Sunday school at 12:20. Announce ments concerning Epworth ' League meetings will, be made at the morning service. The cutting into the bow of the steam er As tor ian, a few nights since, is con strued by some as showing that the U. P. R. "system", are determined to con trol the Columbia if they have to sink their opponents steamers. Hon. II. B. Parker, owner of the Astorian, is a hard hitter in a contest like this, and is able to hold his own in .the courts o? else where. It is said that this collision with the R. U. Thompson cannot lie ehonj I. as at all "purely accidental, when it comes to an investigation. The Astorian may not be so easily got rid of as was her predecessor, the Clara Parker. The steamer Regulator moved the Rockland wharf boat to its mooring to day. On Monday the steamer begins triweekly trips to the Cascade Locks, connecting with the steamer Dalles City which will arrive in Portland about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Col. Jas. K Kelley,long and favorably known as a resident of The Dalles, later United States senator from Oregon, and one of the leading attorneys of the na tion, is reported as failing in health rapidly. He has been in Washington city for some time where be is at pres ent. Tha was a somewhat peculiar and' funny circumstance which happened yesterday when ex-Editor Middleton sued the Sun Publishing Co., for wages. The papers were served by the Sun Publishing Cb.'s Secretary Sheriff Cates, upon the Sun Publishing Co.'s President Judge Bradshaw, who ruled against the demurrer. ' , Hon. A. J. Dufur made the Chronicle office a pleasant visit this morning, dur ing which the topic of conversation turn ed upon the effort, or rather the lack of effort, as it is confined to but a few per sons, to secure funds for a decent repre sentation at the Chicago World's Fair. The history of his efforts in 1876 should be read again now, showing what ought to stimulate Oregonians to duty. Mr. Smith French has just returned from a short trip into Sherman county. From him we learn that the soil is in fine condition for the plow and that there is great activity among the farmers. The fall or winter wheat is looking well, and from present appearances, promises a fine harvest. Mr. French speaks in glowing terms of what he saw in the prosperous outlook of this and the adjoin ing county. The M. E. Church edifice is rapidly nearing completion, the windows have been placed in the basement, and in another week those in the auditorium and lecture room will be placed in their frames. It is expected that the finish ing touches will be done to the base ment so as to admit of the society hold ing services in it next Sunday. The building is an ornament to the enter prise of the congregation and city. The eccentricities of Vie. Trivett may never die out, - Every "once in a while" something springs np to remind us of him and them. The latest is the China man's dream. Vic. in his day, held that story as a club over the head of many an anti-Chinese. He advocated the coming of the Chinese, for, said he : "They come here to work, and there are now too many fellows here loafing about do ing toothing, trying to live off their wits ; they come into competition with me ; and I tell you I am better pleased with the Chinese than with them." Vic. always asserted that if a white man or boy wilfully abused a Chinese, some awful punishment would come upon them for their action, and the fate of the packers who killed their Chinese passengers in 1860, was related with a favorite relish on all occasions. Poor Vic. "With all thy faults" there are yet many who tenderly regard a me.nory for Ton. From the Daily Chronicle, Monday. Uncle Billy Keleay, a prominent sheep owner from Antelope county, was in the city today. J. F. Thompson formerly of Five Mile, now of Sprague, Washington, is on a shoit business trip to the city. A. McDonald of Monkland, J. M. Roth of Kingsley, and H. C. Rooper of Bake Oven, are at the Umatilla House. Thirty -three years ago yesterday Or egon was admitted as a state of the American union. The anniversary was celebrated at The Dalles by genial weather and happy smiles upon the countenances of the people. A protracted meeting under the charge of Rev. E. Baker, of Dufur,' has been in progress for the past two weeks at Fairfield. Rev. A. Q. Spencer preached there last evening and expects to assist during part of the present week. A good interest is being manifested. The band boys desire through the Cbbonicle to sincerely thank Mr. John Booth for his service as door keeper, Masters Vic. Marden and Winn Curtis for their services as ushers and Mrs. Lochhead for theuse of the stage during the' entertainment of( last Saturday evening. J. D. Wilcox of Kent, is in the city. Mr. Wilcox is prominently mentioned by the residents of the southern portion of Sherman' county for the office of county commissioner. It is a case of the office seeking the man and Sherman county can ' hardly make a better selection. We regret to learn of the loss by fire, last Friday evening, of the dwelling of J. R. Woodcock of Wamic, and nearly all its contents. The fire originated in a de fective flue. The building was insured in the State Insurance Company of Salem for $600; but this amount will not nearly cover the loss. An attempt was made last night in the east end to hold up Billy Larsen while that gentleman was on the public L street near Tho Dalles Mercantile com pany's store.. Billy resisted the attempt, wtmn his assailant drew a knife and succeededed in cutting Billy's clothes and one of bis bands which was thrown up in defense. . The assailant was finally driven off without attaining hirobject A land slide on the U. P. R. R.f just above the first tunnel below The Dalles, caused a delay of the down 4 a. m., train until 11 o'clock yesterday. The np train, due here at midnight, did sot get in until noon yesterday, after which she carried a flag and proceeded as first sec tion of No. 8. The Regulator will make a special trip to the Cascades tomorrow,- returning to The Dalles tomorrow night to be ready for her regular trip Wednesday morning. No through passengers will be taken, as the Regulator mukes connection with the Dalles City only on Mondays, Wednes days and Fridays. The chill which spread over the city early this morning was caused by the arrival of about one hundred tons of ice irom North Powder. As Col. Sinnott received considerably more than half of the consignment, he was "approached" about it by a chattering guest, trembling with the chill. "Well,"- said the colonel, "I haye for over forty years been accused of all the mean things done in The Dalles, and as I am now 76 years of age, I don't think I bad best begin to apologize." This will come in very handy to cool the butter, etc., later on. Advertised Letters. Folowing is the list of letters remain ing in the postoffice at The Dalles un called for Friday, February 12, 1892. Per sons calling for same will give date on which they were advertised : Beyer, E F M Lind, Mrs Millie Benzer, Fred Mendenhall, E J Canuth,WalterW2Meny. Robert Clow, Harry H Nelson, Chas G Davis, frank Danolds, Will French, Thos E Graham, Butch H limits ton, F banford, J 1. Smith, Henry H Taylor, C W George, Wardner Weekman, Wm. M. T. Nolan, P. M. Steamboat Collide. Wednesday night last the steamer R. R. Thompson, in attempting to cross the bow of the steamer Astorian, at. a place on the Columbia known as Coffin's point, ran into the Astorian, tearing out the port deck and knocking in the guard. Fortunately the damage was such as no leak was sustained and both boats pro ceeded on their respective ways. The Astorian plies between Astoria and Port land and is run in opposition to the Union Pacific steamers. A great deal of bitter feeling is said to exist between the two companies aud this is indulged in by the officers. The officers of the Astorian claim that it was not an acci dent but an attempt to sink their boat, and rid the field of a dangerous rival. Birthday Farty. A pleasant birthday party was given on Saturday evening the 13th inst., at the residence of Rev. J. C. Orchard in honor of the birthday of his two sons Masters Orville and Jesse: - The pleas ures of the evening began with a choice seclection of music by Miss Bradshaw, after which the little folks amused them selves till supper time. Then as this is leap year the girls all chose their part ners and marched into the dining room, where they heartily discussed and an ample super. Handsome presents were given the boys in whose honor the party had met together, and all separated at an early hour heartily pleased with the good time they had bad. Those present were May, Edna and Pearl Barnett, Lizzie, Martha and Ber nie Schooling, Pearl Ward, Mabel Allen, Tena and Effie Davis, Susan Chase, Harry and Rue Miller, Willie and Ray Cooper, Johnie Barnett, Truman and Harry Butts, Eddie Mann, James Urqu hart, and Joseph Shannon. The boys return sincere thanks for presents re ceived. ' Republican Club. A number of persons met Thursday evening in the county court room, pur suant to acall, for the purpose of organ izing a young men's republican club. The meeting having been called to or der by T. A. Hudson, B. 8. Huntington was nnanimously chosen temporary chairman. On taking the chair Mr. Huntington, said he had had no intima tion previous to entering the room that he would be asked to fill the chair but he would just say that a club such as it was proposed to organize was just the place where such difficulties as fre quently arise at the beginning of a campaign can be removed.
