The Chronicle.
David A. Turner of Hood River, was
in the city yesterday attending the
county court on matters relating to pro
posed improvements on the eastern ap
proach to the Hood River bridge.
N. C. Long, the longest man in Sher
man county, was in the city last night.
Mr. Long is the only man in Eastern
Oregon, that we know of, who has ex
perimented, and successfully too, with
ensilage as a winter forage for stock.
Hon. John P. Wager, at present on
the Portland Telegram staff, formerly
editor of the Pendleton EastOregonion,
writes to the Condon Globe that he in
, tftdftto make his home in Condon about
the first of April and follow hia pro
fession as a lawyer. Condon has no
attorney at present.
There is no better natured fellow in
the world than Sam Lester, clerk of the
Warm Springs agency. . But Sam's good
nature drew a line the other day when
he recognized in the flavor of a commis
sary beef stake, one of his own cows
that Abel Gadshaw and Peter Symantie,
two enterprising eiwashes, had sold to
the boss of the agency commissary as
their own. Sam had the Indians
arrested and taken to Prineville for trial.
Mr. Anderson of the D. S. Baker, is
prolific in resources for replies to the
curious who daily ask. "Have you steam
up on the Baker? I see smoke issuing
from the stack." "Oh, yes," was the
reply when the boat was on the ways,
her hull all open, "we keep up steam
for the purpose of pumping her out
Now that she is in the water, and her
fire-box and machinery all to pieces, his
answer is, "we have to keep up steam to
try the boiler." The smoke still comes
out of the stack, fire-box or no fire-box,
because a stove pipe leads into it.
Two "good men" met on the streets of
' Prineville the other day and each en
tered into a contract with himself to lick
the other. When both were satisfied
and their passions had cooled down, like
as good nien should, they settled their
differences. But the marshal saw a
chance to make a fee and he arrested
one of the combatants on a warrant
sworn out by himself. The prisoner
was brought before the recorder who
promptly fined him in what, with costs,
amounted to $22.75. This sum the man
refused to pay and sued out a writ of
habeas corpus before County Judge
Summer. The writ was sustained and
tbe prisoner discharged. Then the
marital and recorder rose up in their
wrath and had the sheriff arrest the re
corder and marshal, the former of whom
he fined $100 and the latter $50. "Latest
stage telegram reports the county judge
on top. Prineville is a real lively town.

Mr. H. P. Ernst who has resided in
The Dalles for the past two years left
yesterday morning for his old home in
Mendon, Mich. On Monday evening
the Congregational choir (of which Mr.
Ernst was the basso profoundo) met at
the residence of J. M. Patterson to have
a parting song. About 9 o clock, to the
surprise of the basso, about 20 of his
friends filed in to take a hand in the
parting. After speding a very pleasant
evening and presenting Mr. E. with a
beatuful oil painting of "Cape Horn on
the Columbia," in appreciation of his
choir services, the company dispersed
feeling that they had performed a very
pleasant duty.
Much of the beauty, if not the chiv
alry, of The Dalles was gathered at the
fashionable milinery store of Mrs. C. L.
Phillips last night to view the fine dis
play of new spring styles just received
at that populnr ladies resort. The re
porter was too bashful to obtrude where
theie was not a single person of the
male persuasion to lend variety to that
part of the scene, but he was permitted
to peep through ihe half open door
only that and nothing more as his bet
ter half entered, and the scene pre
sented was one ot rare beauty while the
said better half informed him afterwards
that Mrs. Phillip's new bonnets and hats
were "just too lovely for anything."
The opening will be continued tonight
and every lady in The Dalles who has
any desire to know what is going on in
beau monde should pay it a visit.
The Bake Oven stake driver brought
in word last night of a shooting scrape
at Antelope, which occurred on last
Sunday. The particulars are very
meager. It is only known that W. F.
Kelsay shot Ed. Glisan through the
body, it is believed, fatally. Glisan is
the man frho shot and killed an Antelope
saloon keeper named Pratt some four or
five years ago.' Glisan was tried for the
crime and acquitted. Kelsay is a man
who always bore a good reputation,
while Glisan is reputed to have been
quarrelsome, especially when in liquor.
It is said Kelsay offered to give himself
up but no one would assume the respon
sibility of taking him into custody.
Prosecuting Attorney W. H. Wilson re
ceived a letter from the Antelope Justice
last night asking what steps should be
pursued, pending the result of Gliean's
injuries.
Prom the Daily Chronicle, Thursday.

cents a copy.
Miss Gertrude Myers, a teacher in our
city schools has resigned .the position
and accepted, a like one in the Portland
public schools and. taken her departure
this morning. We are sorry to lose
this accomplished lady, but it is Port
land's gain. , " .. ,
Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Borders, who have
been visiting friends in the city for the
last few. days, returned today to their
home in Le Grande.
Editor Cradlebangh, of the Glacier,
and Capt. H. Coe, of Hood River, passed
through the city today on the way to
Wasco, to attend the Knights of Pythias
inauguration tonight.
Scientists have discovered that the
human mouth is slowly, but surely,
getting wider all the time. Now we
know what the matter is - with some
editors that we wot of.
Some who have not kept posted, will
inquire what is all this Majestic-Dray ton
Burrowe fuss about ; simply a woman;
Mrs. Drayton, daughter of Wm. Astor;
who is a bigger fool than the Jersey
Lilly. This and nothing more.
The following Knights of Pythias of
this city, left today on the noon passen
ger for "Wasco, to inaugurate a lodge of
Knights at that place : Sam Campbell,
Louis Rorden-, Frank Menefee, W. H.
Wilson, J. C. Crowe. Thos. A. Hudson
and John Michel".
Up in Linn county pheasants have
commenced nesting. ' A farmer near
Albany recently plowed up a nest that
contained several eggs. The early spring
will probably be the means of making
the splendid game birds plentiful, as
each bird will raise several broods. --
M. Quad, the irrepressible editor of
the Arizona Kicker, took passage on the
outgowing Prineville stage today. It
was said at the Office, in the Umatilla
house, that he was looking for a new lo
cation, had heard of Prineville, and
wanted to see the town. He was some
time since invited to visit Oregon, by a
progressive society of the state, but
pleaded lack of time. He is now travel
ing incognito.
Revival meetings are now in progress
at one of the Baker City chnrches, and
from the way the Democrat speaks of
some of the attendants it is evident a
work of grace is much needed over that
way. Says the Democrat : A few old
sinners whose characters are as black as
the inside lining of sheol are among the
number who pretend to take a great in
terest in these meetings, and it is to be
hoped that they are sincere, but judging
from their base conduct after they leave
the temple of worship, we are led to be
lieve that sin is so deeply imbeded in
their carcasses that it would require a
baptism of carborlic acid or a strong so
lution of concentrated lye to make an
impression on tne sins ot tnese oia
hypocrites.
This is a bad year for campaign baa
ners. The other day the banner of the
Young Men's McKinley club met with
an accident and had to be taken -down
for repairs. Yesterday an attempt was
made to bang a democratic banner, in
the form of a shield, suspended from a
wire stretched from the Grant building,
corner of First and Washington, to the
old Waldron drug store, but the "taxed"
wire, it is' presumed, indignantly re
sented the idea of holding up a free trade
banner, and let it fall on the street with
a thud that smashed the frame work
into kindling wood, it too, nad to
be taken to the hospital, and now dem
ocratic and republican honors are even.
Speaking of ominous things, what means
it that the democratic banner is an exact
fac-aimile of the Union Pacific shield,
and is, or rather is to be stretched across
the railroad track r
Charley Bascome, one of the oldtime
residents of The Dalles, left the city last
night for New Jersey, where he goes to
spend the evening of his days with a
brother. Many an oldtime friend will
drop a kindly tear or 6peak a kindly
word over his departure. Generous to a
fault, Charley saw many a less noble
competitor outstrip him in the race alter
wealth and when paralysis laid its
cruel hand upon him about six months
ago, it left him poor in everything ex
cept in the riches which wealth can
not confer, a contented disposition
Although almost helpless he nobly re
fused to become a public charge and un
complainingly and cberfully did what
ever odd jobs of work he was capable of
or could find to do in his line as a painter.
Only a couple of days ago he painted a
fence for a neighbor who would willingly
have contributed the wagea earned as a
gift. On the way .to his new home
Charley will call and visit his aged father
in New York City.
' The Medal Contest.
A very good house greeted the Demor
est contest last night and everything in
dicates that these trials of declamatory
skill will become quite popular.
Tne contestants did their work nobly
and each gave evidence of careful train
ing. The contestants were Bertha Wil
lerton, Harry Fredden, Archy Barnett,
May Barnett, Pearl Butler and Johnny
Barnett. The judges were Dr. Eshel
man, A. R. Thompson and B. S. Hunt
ington. The medal was awarded to Miss
Pearl Butler. The music by a choir,
consisting of Professor Smith, J. Frank
Hawortb, Mrs. Condon and Miss Crebeil
and a vocal solo by Mrs. B. S. Hunting
ton deserve special mention as contri
buting highly to make a delightfully
pleasing entertainment. Nor most the
two songs "A neat little clock" and
"Roll your hands," by the primary class
of the public schools be forgotten. The
little people acquitted themselves splen
didly. The ladies' committee of the W.
C. T. U. desire through the Chronicle
to thank the many friends who aided
to make the contest a complete success,
financially and otherwise. "
.: The Dalles must take some lengthy
strides in the way of improvements in
the near future, of which our own citi
zens seem scarcely to realize the pros
pect. Wlen the time arrives for modern
light draft vessels to penetrate the in
terior through the canal and locks at
the cascades, the lordly Columbia will
assert her prerogative as a transporta
tion route and there will be many a
floating cargo taken on at docks here for
distant ports of the world, more readily
than they are now received at ports
nearer to the sea. AH this may be ac
complished, and The Dalles become a
busy mart from shipping alone, to which
may be added the fertile resources of the
surrounding country, from grain, wool,
mutton, beef and horses, for which the
Inland Empire is now famous. The
mines of precious ores and coal, which
abound within a radius - of from one
hundred to three' hundred miles of The
Dalles, will cause the erection of stamp
mills, smelters, redaction works, etc.,
and the hills will resound with the
tumult of business, while thousands of
busy people will take the place of our
present hundreds, and our capital bej
counted by millions. This is no fancy
picture of what The Dalles may become
within the next decade, because we have
here the hidden treasures and the un
developed resources that may be counted
upon to enrich the world, by the bare
possibility of cheapened power, and
many other contributing forces, brought
about by scientific developments in
electricity and other modern appliances,
now so abundantly used for supplying
the daily necessities of humanity none
of which are exempt from successiul
application here.

school in it till sometime last winter.
r Yesterday evening the writer armed
himself with a bucket full of whitewash,
and a brush, and then climbed up in an
old apple tree and proceeded to business.
While I was thus engaged a Corvallis
business man stopped to say, "you are
doing it up 'brown.' " When I waa at
work fifteen or twenty feet from the
ground, Prof, Horner asked if I ' thought
it would kill the tree, I said, "don't
know, guess not", and he said, "I guess
it will kill the fern anywav. Won't it?"
