LOCAL AND PERSONAL.
From the Daily Chronicle, Tuesday.
v J. W. Oilman of Gilliam county is in
the city.
y. William Buskirk of Hood River came
nip on the noon passenger today.
The Chrosiclk had a pleaaant visit
from John Doyle of Eight Mile today.
Mrs. E. G. Sylvester came up from
Portland last Saturday and returns to
night. A light salmon catch is everywhere
anticipated this year on the Columbia
river.
A very good house greeted . the Mic
mac club last night at the Court house
and a very pleasant time was had.
Prinz & Nitscbke will soon commence
the erection of a one story brick build
ing measuring 58x100 feet on their lot
immediately west of Snipes & Kinersly's
drug store.
Thomas Olesen returned' yesterday
from a month's sojourn in Portland.
Mr. Olesen was glad to get back again to
the clear skie9 and bright sunshine of
God's country.
The weekly Chboxicle contains 48
columns of the news of the world every
week. It is the handsomest if not the
best county paper published in the state
and the price is only $ 1.50 a year.
John Doe, a well to do farmer from
the country filled his hide with rot gut
last night and Con Howe, who is no
respecter of persons, gathered him in.
He paid h:"s fine this morning and de
parted a sader but possibly not a wiser i
man. j
A Signature appeared on the Umatilla j
house register this morning which out
did the Spinner autograph of war times.
It was something like this Hlipiliimiii, and
stands for J. H. . McCowen, of Salem.
With a magnifying glass the perfection of
the tracing is seen, and the name ap
pears very plain.
A band of cattle stampeded on Third ,
street this afternoon for no apparent i
reason under the sun other than fur
nishing an item for the Chronicle.
They were coming along as mild as kit
tens, until reaching Madison, when sud
denly the entire band flew in as many
directions as thore were heads to lead
them, and the solitary horseman had a
monkey and a parrot of a time to round
them up again.
The shock of earthquake felt at this
place was also felt, though not so per
ceptably, at Portland. The center of the
disturbance seems to have been in the
mountains, and at Knapp's Landing, on
the lower Columbia the shock was quite
heavy.
The Dalles has been a very quiet place
the last few days, 60 far as people on the
streets are concerned ; but the number
of mail orders for goods keep pace- with
lively times. Farmers are .altogether
too busy to come to the citv this fine
weather, and prefer to pay express
charges on the necessaries of life.
Judge Bradshaw is putting in the time
quite profitably at chambers, during the
recess of the circuit court, iu disposing
of numerous suits in equity, some of
which have been upon the calendar for
years. The causes are not very interest
ing subjects to the general reader, hence
reporters do not spend any considerable
time loitering about the court house.
As work progresses in the publication
of the new electionlaw voters will discov
er that there is something more to do in j
Oregon this year, about election times,
than merely walk to the polls, ballot in
hand, as formerly. Read the law care
fully, and preserve it for future reference.
The third installment yon will find in
The Chronicle today. '
Sandy Olds, a gambler, who it will be
remembered murdered Emil Webber in
Portland about three years ago, was on
Saturday released from the Oregon pen
itentiary, having served the sentence of
the court, one year, after being con
victed of murder in the first and second
trials which he had, and convicted on a
- verdict of manslaughter on third trial.
"Dr." True the fake tooth carpenter,
bogus mineral salt peddler and all round
bilk, has had his pedigree pretty well
written up in the Walla Walla Journal
and the massive brazen cheek of the
"doctor" has grown preceptably paler.
The' Journal charges him with the crime
of abortion, committed twice on the
eighteen-year-old Ricard girl that ac
companies him and dares him to sue the
paper for libel.
Fishermen and fish dealers should
bear in mind that the law is now in full
force and effect which prohibits the
catching and selling of salmon between
March 1 and April 10. Last year the
commissioners did not enforce the law.
by making arrests, but merely advised
all persons found fishing to desist. '. This
season the law will be carried out. and
any person who violates it will be pun- i
ished. This law is general in its appli- j
cation, and includes those who purchase,
sell, or transport fish, as well as those
who catch. Salmon caught before March
1 and placed in the cold storage can be

violation of this law will be looked
closely after by the fish commissioners.
From the Daily Chronicle, Wednesday.

the consolidated city today.
Mr. Stewart, of the late firm of
Abrams & Stewart, is in the city.

V. U. Button and M. E. Welch of
Hood River are registered at the
Umatilla house.
Mr. and Mrs. James Brown of Mosier,
visited the city last night as the gue9ts

Very confiderabla growling is being
done by taxpayers over the amount of
their county taxes this year.
Chas. F. Stephens is engaged today
opening up and marking a new stock of
dry goods at the old Solomon stand.
Mr. and Mr. William Holder of Grass
valley were in the city last night and
left for home today on the noon train.
At a meeting of the Young Men's Mc
Kinley club last night it was resolved to
invite the other republican clubs of the
county to a joint rmeting to be held in
this city on Saturday evening, the 12th
inst.
The Regulator last night brought up
40 passengers, about 60 tons of freight,
and five head of horses. This morning
she took down 250 head of sheep, ten
tons of Dalles flour, a lot of miscel
laneous freight, and several passengers.
The State Insurance company of
Salem has forwarded to Frank Connelly,
their local agent at this place, a check
for $510, being the full amount of his
claim, under the policy, by the late
burning of Mr. Woodcock's residence at
Wainic.
French and company have rented the
brick store room between McFarland &
French and Farley & Frank's stores to
Louis Rorden & Co. It is now being
fitted up with new front, skylight and
other improvements and is expected to
be ready for occupancy in about six
weeks.
The hills surrounding this city begin
to look very inviting to sheep and other
kine which love the grass to graze, io

onous. "iine uay this, has oeen tne

is here, w ithout the semblance of linger
ing in the lap of winter, the greeting con
tinues with dull uniformity.
The fog factory, just above Crate's
point, was in full force today, at an
early hour, and sent out a bank of the
fleecy whiteness stretching across the
Columbia to the summit of the Klickitat
hills, in one continuous sheet ; but by
7 :30 a. m., old Sol had so warmed the
works that the factory suddenly shut
down, and the product vanished into the
air.
"An ass in corsets," is what the Seat
tle Posl-Intelligertcer coarsely calls Miss
Francis Willard. This is brutal and be
neath the dignity of a great paper like
tfce Post-Intelligencer. As the Aslorian
says, Miss Willard is one of America's
noblest women, with a great brain and
a loving heart, and because she allows
her heart to rule her brain, and lets zeal
outweigh judgment, she should not be
subjected to such merciless criticism.
Besides its an even bet that she doesn't
wear corsets. Come now.
From the Daily Chronicle, Thursday.
Jos. MacEachern returned from Port
land and will leave for a week's trip to
the Prineville country in the morning.
Collection day with all its horrors to
the impecunious has passed and like the
busiless fabric of a vision left never a
cent behind it.
The Congregational church, mid-week
service at Mr. Alec Thompson's at 7 :30
this (Thursday) evening. A Bible Read

Tom Harris, a well known sheepman,
from the Nan6ene countrv, was in the
city last night. He reports a mild win
ter, good grass, and sheep in a fine con
dition.
I. C. Kickelsen this morning opened
up a package containing two dozen of
"laughing machines," and in exactly
three quarters of an hour from the time
1 the first one was sold the whole lot was
gone.
Two hobos were gathered in last night
by Con Howe and duly fined this morn
.... . L
ing bv tne recorder, une of them was
detected by the argus-eyed Con follow
ing the devious ways of a sheep herder
on a lark, with the evident intention of
shearing the wool off bim.
Theodore Mesplie advertises in the
Chronicle that he desires to rent from
5 to 10 acres of fine creek bottom land,
suitable for gardening, on his ranch on
Mill creek. Here is a chance for some
one to make a comfortable living by
raising garden truck for The Dalles and
other markets.
A put a nickel in the slot lung-tester at
the Umatilla house, was mistaken ' this
morning for a platform Fairbanks' scales,
by a passenger for Prineville, .who
wanted to weigh bis baggage, and after
the laugh had gone around, he looked
upon the bystanders with a sort of "you
think you're smart, don't you," air;
tumbled to the racket, and walked off
highly indignant to think that such
things were kept in first class hotels to
fool people. , - "
From, Hampton Kelly, of Wapinitia,
who arrived in town today on his way
to Portland, we learn that a.' party of
viewers, accompanied by County Sur
veyor Sharp, commenced on Tuesday
morning the survey and location of the j
contemplated grade up Tygh bill. The
committee appointad to do this work by
the late mass meeting at Wamic have
the confidence of the citizens and we
have little doubt that whatever location
they may decide on will be generally
satisfactory to the people.
From a gentlemen, who has just re
turned from Goldendale we are again
assured that the efforts of the Union
Pacific company to gain the lost patron
age of the Goldendale merchants have
met with very poor success. The Gold
endale people know who made their
present low rates, and that the support
of the Union Pacific Railway compa
ny means a return to the old extor
tion. The same is true of the mer
chants of the interior, this side the
Columbia. The Piineville people have
also been solicited in vain. There is
everywhere the quiet dogged and im
movable determination to stand by the
people's boats.
Died yesterday afternoon, March 22d,
at her residence on Lower. Fifteen-mile
creek, Mrs. Perry Watkins, mother of
Senator George Watkina of this city,
aged 62 years and 10 months. The death
of Mrs Watkins is attended with circum
stances that render the immediate cause
somewhat difficult to determine. She
had been complaining for something like
a week about her head which pained her
and according to her own testimony felt
strange. A little while before her death
she was engaged with her daughter,
Mrs. C. E. Bayard, doing -some sewing.
Remarking that her head troubled her
she told her daughter she would step out
for a little.while into the garden. Mrs.
Bayard approved of her intention and
told her she would follow her as soon as
she had finished her work. A short
time after, the work being done, Mrs.
Bayard followed her mother, but could
not. find her anywhere. Becoming
alarmed she sent for Mr. Watkins and
the hired man who were in a held at a
short distance from the house. After a
little more searching all that wa9 mortal
of Mrs. Watkins was found about fifty I How to 8et ut "wb-y Pi.nt,.

There was no evidence whatever that
her death came by drowning, and efforts
to resuscitate her.under that impression,
failed to show that any water had been

the case would lead us-, as it does her
family, to conclude that she bad been

The remains will arrive in this city to
morrow (Friday) about 12 :30 o'clock' p.
m., and be buried in the Odd Fellows
cemetery where-the funeral service will
be held.

Roseburg Review. If the nomination
of G rover Cleveland is an impossibility,
give us then that matchless champion of
tariff reform, James E. Campbell, of
Ohio, or that ablest and purest of all
American statesmen, John G. Carlisle,
of Kentucky.
Astorian. Some of our Kansas ex
changes refer unkindly to Oregon.
Meanwhile the people leave Kansas and
come here. The papers of the two states
well illustrate the difference of condition
in the two commonwealths. The Kan
sas papers are full of sheriffs' sales and
foreclosures of mortgages; the Oregon
papers have notices of settlers proving
up on their claims, of genial weather
the year round, of fruiful soil and never
failing crops.
Leonard Cole, of Huntington, who was
defeated for sheriff in Malheur county at
the last election, is in trouble. He has
been arrested for forging his father's j
name to a note for $1800. The note was j
made during the campaign two years ago
when the young man needed money
Mr. Austin, the defeated candidate for
sheriff in Grant county last election, is

The taxpayers of Baker county are do
ing a work for their county that the
Chbomcle has undertaken for this one.
They are investigating the incomes of
the several offices with a view to placing
tbem on some basis more in harmony
with reason and common sense. It is
safe to say that the day of big, fat
salaries for county offices, altogether out
of proportion to the work done or the
qualification of the incumbents, will
soon come to an end.

having reached the end of the row and

the old ax into the ground at about the

Now pick up your plant by the top,

you might lift a young rabbit by the
ears, slip the roots through the other
hand so as to leave them spread out fan

presses the dirt tight to the roots all the
way down, and another slight lick with
the ax fills the second cut and the work
is done. The plants should be kept wet
in order that the roots may spread out
nicely and remain so, when you strip
them through your hand, and they
should be dropped ahead of the one that
is setting them. I can set more plants
per day by this method and do it better

The Surviving; Fairs.
San Francisco, March 2. A morning
paper says that a contest of the will by
which Mrs. Theresa Fair disposed of her
$4,000,000 is probable. Mrs. Fair left
two sons $500,000 each and her two
daughters $1,500,000 each. Charles Fair
has returned to the city from abroad,
ostensibly to look after his brother's
affairs, but it is said that he was tele
graphed for. Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss
Birdie Fair are on their way from the
east, and this gathering of all the sur
ving Fairs is taken to mean that the will
is about to be contested
