Six Northern Pacific cars, coal laden, were discharging at the Union Pacific coal bunkers this morning. Mr. B. F. Laughlin, who has been on the Regulator last evening. A democratic contemporary intimates that he hates the McKinley tariff on tin nlate so much that he always gags at the sight of a tin dipper. Two 1io1ks and one drunk were the sum total of Con Howe's catch last nitrht. The recorder salted them with the usual fine this morning. The Goldendale stage was loaded with nasseneers on the trip yesterday. Two of them were direct from Sweden, com ing to join relatives and identify them selves with Eastern Washington. H. A. Dietzel, of this city has let the - contract for a new two thousand dollar dwelling to be built on the Bluff addi tion, near Mr. Wakefield's property, Workmen are already preparing the foundation, The patter of the rain upon the roof, at an eariy hour this morning, was music to the ear of any who listened to it. The drops were few, but refreshing, and lent a new charm to the salubrious climate which we of The Dalles now enjoy. A correspondent of this excellent fam JUy journal asks us to inform the Time Mountaineer that it ia not Roger Q. Mills who is speaker of the present bouse of representatives but sockless Jerry Simp son. The Mountaineer will please take notice and govern itself accordingly. Mr. R. R.

Polk's Gazetteer and Business Direc- tory, which has become one of the insti tutions of this coast, is just out for 1S92. The 'development of Oregon, Washington and Idaho can be realized in no clearer manner than by comparing these books year by year, since 1885. Then it was a small volume : now it is a book of 2000 pages. It was delivered in The Dalles today. Dan'l Farrington from the Fairfield school district gave us a pleasant call today. He informs us of a marked re ligious interest manifested at the meet ings now being held in the Fairfied school house by Revs. Baker of Dufur, and Spencer of this city. About a dozen persons have professed faith in the Sav iour and others it is hoped will follow their example. "Two men," says the Telegram, "were accused of a crime not long ago in The Dalles. The crime was jointly com mitted and one man must have been - just as guilty as the other. But behold the freaks of American jurisprudence. One offender pleaded guilty and was punished : the other, of necessity equally guilty or innocent stood trial and was acquitted. Now the one who pleaded guilty is doubtless condemning himself as a fool." That is just about the size x)f it Mr. Telegram. ' ft Miss Clara Story met with a painful accident yesterday that will probably deprive her of the full use of her right hand for some time. She was using hydra chloric acid to remove some paint from a piece of china and while applying the acid with a swab on the end of a stick it ran down the stick and came in contact with the tips of her thumb and first and second fingers.'! The powerful acid eat its way into the flesh and in spite of the use of the best antidotes Miss Story suffered great pain during the whole of last night and this morning. There is a shop on Second street in Astoria where clams are sold. Recently a lot of clams were lying at the door in a box waiting for some one who knew how to come along and make chowder out of them, when a rat that was fooling around met with a serious accident. A large clam who had his vest unbuttoned and was taking in some fresh air, was suddenly disturbed, by something that made it very mad, causing it to close its doors very tight, and hold the. intruder a prisoner.": The clam had shut down on the rat's hind leg. The rat squealed, and all the Chinamen who were sunning themselves in front of the Chinese Mason's headquarters on the opposite side of the street came chattering over to see the fun. The rat was slain, but it could not be released until the shells of the clam were smashed in pieces. tt!i.j c i -1 ct..i:n:,.:n.

Burlingame has left at tlys office, where it can now be seen, a sam ple from the lately discovered mine of carbonate of magnesia. The mine is located within four miles of Mosier. Only two other mines are known to ex ist in the world, one in Pennsylvania and one iu Europe. Pure carbonate of magnesia ia worth about 15 cents a pound wholesale. Fifteen cents a pound is $300 a ton. This iB a mighty rich strika if it is anything nearly as pure as it supposed to be. An analysis will be made ia a few days when the Ciibonicle will publish the result. " Mr. C. W. Harter and G.

Mr. Harter is without doubt the best mineralogist that has ever been in this part of the country. These gentle men have found coal, iron, ochre, fire and pottery ciay and asbestos and all within 20 miles of The Dalles and still people have tramped over these deposits for years not dreaming of the wealth that lies so near us. These gentlemen can be found at room 45, Chapman block.

Lightning In Arizona. . The Dalles, Or., Feb. 19th, 1S92. Editor of the Chronicle: Having seen the an item going the rounds of theupapers I feel it as my duty to contradict it. It is stated in the item that there has not been but one- thunder storm in Arizona in fourteen years. A more flagrant false hood has not come to my notice during the time mentioned. 1 lived in Arizona more than three years and a half during the last eleven years, and during that three years a half herd more dreadful, deafening thunder, and bw more fear ful lightning than I aver saw in three times three years and a half any where else. It was a thing of general remark when I first arrived in the territory in November 1SS1, that there had been seven persons killed by lightning within the year. During the following year I was over the ground or near the spot where four of the seven were killed. Three of them were tie cutters in the San Francisco mountains, and the fourth a boy, Banghart by name, about twenty miles from Prescott. The summer of 1883, until the thirteenth of August spent in and around Phujnix. During the month of July or early in August of that years there was a stack of Alfalfa hay, said to contain from one to five hundred tons, burned within half a mile of Pha-nix. The owners name I think was Frank Shaw. I do not write this because I dislike the country, the climate, or the people, for outside of the thunder and lightning it is the most pleasant and desirable climate that I was ever in. But I do dislike falsehood in anv form and therefore feel it mv duty to expose it so far as I am able. P. C. Davis. The silver men of this country ought to be grateful to a government that takes all their surplus at a profitable market price instead of demanding that it must take all the surplus of the world at the price of twenty years ago. Unnecessary sufferings. 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 a 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, Sullivan Co., Missouri.

According to law, it is necessary that the master as well as the pilot should appear before the authorities It is thought thatthecase will be settled bv the end of the week. Astoria Talk. The popular steamer Astorian arrived down from Portland this morning loaded to the guards with freight ; in fact she had to leave quite a lot in Portland to bring down on her next trip. The business men of both Astoria and Portland begin to realize the necessity of an opposition line on the river, lae Astorian is run in connec tion with the Dalles City and Regulator, Klamath . Star. Somebody lately re quested a Wood river poet to write a few thrilling lines of local interrest, and he started the following down to posterity : The Klam&th men hnlnt got no bunions, The Klamath gals don't eat no onions. The Kltunuth men have henlthy feet. The Klamath gals have breath that's i-woet. Hooray for Klnma'h gals and men! The number of pounds their babies weigh is allers ten! Ochoco Review. At a recent revival in Astoria the evangelist asked all who wanted to go to heaven to stand up. No body stood. Then he told all who wish ed to be parboiled in the seething caul dron prepared for the devil and attend ant demons, to stand up. Nobody stood. Services were discontinued at once. "Its no use," said the evangelist, "to try to convert people who are satisfied' with Clatsop county." Dispatch. There is no denying the fact consolidation has increased the ex pensesof Portland, and the tax-payer has to foot the bill. There is another fact equally true, and that is there are too many offices. The last legislature was very liberal in authorizing Portland to go into debt as much as she desired, and the interest must be paid. There ought to be a good sensible delegation elected next June from this countv to the legislature, men who have some busi ness experience and practical knowledge, so that the defects which are now so ap parent in .our local government may be corrected. Portland needs much import ant legislation next cession. STARTLING FACTS!
