v -fS) tjXLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, FRIDAY, APRIL 1 j 1S92. The Weekly Chronicle. THE DALLES, OBEGON lmtn.-' FRIDAY, - APRIL 1, 1892. LOCAL AMD PERSONAL. From the Daily Chronicle, Friday. A slight-fall of snow whitened the tops of the Klickitat hills this morning, Mrs. E. C. Pentland is here with her two children on a short visit to her sister-in-law, Mrs. S. L. Brooks. Nearly all the country delegates to the ' republican convention had arrived town at the hour of going to press. Mr. and Mrs. Buckley, of Grass Valley, are stopping at the European house. The Chronicle regrets to hear that the health of Mr. Buckley has been impaired for some time past. Richard Kelling, an old school mate of Martin Donnell, now representing the Soldiers' Loan and trust. Jcompany Walla Walla, spent yesterday in the city and left this morning on the Regulator for Portland. . Mr. and Mrs. Scott of Portland, and Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson are at the European house. The latter are visit ing Eastern Oregon largely for the ben- " efit of Mr. Stevenson's health and seek a suitable location for settlement and investment. Mr. and Mrs. Harris of New York are at the European house. Mr. Harris has been compelled to sell out his in - terests in the East and remove to the Pacific coast for the benefit of his health He is at present looking for a place in which to invest and settle. We shall be cleased to learn that he has concluded - to remain in Wasco county. Through the courtesy of Master Thos. M. Roberts, son of Rev. Mr. Roberts, of this county, wo have received an invita tion to attend the third annual junior exhibition, of the university of Oregon to be held at Villard Hall, Eugene City, on iriday evening, April 4tn. ve no tice that Master Ro"bers is down on the programme for an oration on the ques tion, "Do recent events tend to show the stability of republicanism in Span ish America? Ve have no desire'in the world to be offensive or personal but" duty demands that we should speak out with sufficient plainness to be understood. The repub lican county convention meets in this city tomorrow. " Upon the wisdom of their choice of delegates to the state con ?entiondepends largely the success of the ticket. But mere party success is relatively nothing when weighed in the balance with other interests that are at stake. Party fealty is right enough in its place ; but party fealty must be sub servient to patriotism and devotion to the interests of our homes and firesides The men we send to the state legisla- , ture must be men that we can trust. The delegates to the state convention must be of the same character. In the choice of the latter the interests of rival candidates of county offices should not enter for a moment. The convention should sit down flatly on any candidate who attempts by jobbery or swapping of votes to sacrifice the higher interests of the people to subserve his own. No " tool of the railroad, nor no man even re motel y connected with railroad' interests should go to the state convention. Wasco county has tried such and wants no more of them. After the darkness had settled down on the Hood river valley last evening a couple of good natured young fellows of the village lighted a lantern and climbing a talLpine tree on the southern bluff, tied the lantern to a limb and re turned to town. The stores were still open and the boys lost no time in point ing out, with all the mock innocence they possessed, the new star that peeped through the tree tops. The ruse worked like a charm. Jim Langille, a veteran of the civil war said, "Boys, that star means war. Just such signs as that ap peared in various places before the re bellion." George Prather said, "Boys that's a comet." And then he wanted to telegraph the news to the Chronicle. Henry Howe insisted that it was Mars, and E. D. Smith turned a telescope on it with what result no one knows for Mr. Smith never gave himself away. 4. George Crowell thought the day of judgment had come, and after saying his .prayers, he gathered up all the money in the tills and laid it away in the safe. And still the mock star twinkled in the tree top till the small hours of the morning, when it sank exhausted into the surrounding darkness. " J. L. Carroll of Pendleton, whom the people of The Dalles will remember kindly for having brought down Pendle ton's contribution to the sufferersby the Dalles fire, was in town last night. In the course of a pleasant chat with a Chronicle representative reference was made to the water works of the town of Pendleton, town with a population nearly equal to that of The Dalles. Pen dleton has the luxury of a pumping sys tem, a luxury that some men of narrow comprehension and broad prejudice would like to have saddled on this city. Pendleton is sorry she has a pumping system and would like to swap it off for gravity and may do so before long. Two engineers are employed about half the time.- The engine consumes about 100 cords of wood a month at an average cost of $4.60 a cord. Other lesser ex penses make the system an immense burden on the citv. Besides accidents will happen occasionally to the machin ery and then the water gives out in .the city. Last summer an accident of this 'nature left the town three days without water. Contrast these facts, ye tax payers of The Dalles, with your water system and rejoice with exceeding great joy that the wisdom of the city council delivered us from a like oppressive bur den. Speaking of politics Mr. Carroll thought that Kon. John C. Leasure was ahead of every other candidate of Uma tilla county for the congressional nomi nation. He was satisfied Mr. Leasure would have no tro.uble tin carrying the whole thirteen deligates and probably some adjoining counties as well. From the Daily Chronicle, Saturday. Judge Bradshaw left today for Hep pner, to attend circuit court. C. W. McGill of Wapinitia, and Alex McLeod of Kingsley, are in town. The debt of Klickitat county is said to be in the neighborhood of f S0,000. Borers -in peach trees are now the worst pest valley orchardists have to contend with. The city is chock-a-block of politicians today, and the streets remind one of a boulevard in a large city. . Mrs. W. G. Backus of Hood River, lips rlane-erouslv ill at her residence at that place, Mrs. Backus is not expected to recover. A pamphlet containing the new Aus tralian ballot law adopted by this state is for sale at the Ciikoxicle office at ten cents a copy. . - Ten prairie schooners have arrived from Prineville within the past three days after freight for the merchants of that busv citv. Mr. H. J. Corbett is so well pleased with The Dalles -that he is still with us The genial climate here is a great benefit to his health. Klickitat county has a man who has cost the county at various times, some. thing like $10,000 in trying to convict him of various crimes and misdemeanors. J. B. Huntington, register of the U. S land office at Burns and brother of B. S. and J. M. Huntington of this city, is in town on his way to the republican state convention. The bell for the new M. E. church arrived from Baltimore this week and will summons people to worship tomor row. it is a tine toned Dell ana weigns 417 pounds. "For an open river," is the title of an article to which your special attention is directed today on the 8th page' of The Chronicle. Read it and mail it to some friend in the frozen regions beyond the Rockies. Dr. W. E. Rinehart was called to Arlington yesterday to perform a critical operation on a lady of that place. The operation was successfully performed and the patient was resting easily when the doctor lett. Ridgeway is the name of a new post- office in Wasco county, situated .on the stage road between Bake Oven and Cross Keys. Mrs. Mary L. Cook is the posmistress and she has appointed her husband, Harry, as her deputy. Mr. C. E. Bayard, U. S. special timber and land agent, is in the city on his re turn from -Baker City. From him we learn that spring prolongs his stay in the lap of winter and that there is plenty of snow all through that country. Mr. J. P. Case, of this city, received a telegram from Missoula this morning informing him of the death of his infant daughter. The child will be remem bered as the babe that Mrs. Dr. Rine hart cared for4 after the death of its mother and took to Mr. Case's relations last Januarv. We'noticed five heavy freight teams in the feed yard of The Dalles Mercan tile Company today, just in from Prine ville to load with freight for the interior merchants. We noticed that the yard was literally packed with teams and stock which is evidence that the East End is doing a rushing business. 4 Aurora lodge of Knights of Pythias was inaugurated Thursday night in Wasco, and twenty-three persons were initiated as charter members. A dele gation of twenty Knights was - present from this city and they report having had a royal good time and speak enthu siastically of the generosity and big- neartedness of the people of Wasco. Reports from the farming districts in this county are of the most encouraging kind. - The winter wheat has the best outlook for a large yield this season that has ever been known, the spring sowing is coming up and the soil conditions are excellent for a good growth and an abundant harvest. Reports are also very favorable for an excellent .fruit season. Peaches, pears and apples especially, are very promising. Emissaries of his Satanic Majestic are rculating reports, without any founda tion whatever, in fact, to the effect that W.it J 1116 JMgn-nmo A.J erie, met with a touched the verv tender for the brute creation. menag- yesterday - that sj't in his heart mTV1 haB had a deer and a monkev in a small , reason or other got mad at the monkey and stamped it to death.' Thepoorlittle thing having been chained to a box was powerless to get out of the way. When the Hood River delegation reached The Dalles yesterday there was considerable inquiry for the Cascade locks delegation, which did not appear, Finally a Hood River man vouchsafed the information, "to be kept quiet, "however ; that the Locks delegation had all joined together and sent their prox ies to Col. Sinnott. But it was not kept quiet, and pretty soon candidate after candidate, who had been let into the secret, began to lead Col. S., a lively racket. He was totally in the dark himself, and it was several hours before the true situation was revealed. Col Sinnott enjoys the joke hugely, and the knowledge of the Inside workings of county politics which it afforded, will last him until the meeting of the next convention. A Chronicle reporter met Mr. David Creighton of Three Mile this forenoon just after the adjournment of the repub lican convention, when Mr. C. said : "A strange occurrence happened at our house last night." "What was that,' said the reporter. "Why, a tramp came to the house a while after night fall, and as he was naked we had to keep him all night." ' "Naked!" gasped the reporter, "Yes, naked." "Absolutely so?" "Yes absolutely naked. Just the way you and I came into the world." "Oh, that's it,' said the Chronicle man, as the full truth of being beautifully sold dawned upon his thick vision. "What persuasion is it?" "A boy. Weight ten pounds, Last evening at 8 o'clock a jolly party ot thirteen eastern general passenger and ticket agents, male and female, sat down to dine at a feast spread for them by mine host Sinnott. at the Umatilla house. They had been doing Portland and came up the Columbia by steamer. meeting their coach -"Glacier" here which was attached to the 12:06 a. m east bound passenger today and they went on their way rejoicing. The ladies of the party say they have not enjoyed any part of the trip, from the east via California, better than this, via The Dalles. The gentlemen all had business which occupied their ' attention, at the meeting of the Transcontinental Asso ciation at San Diego, which meeting by the way, was not a complete success as the attendance was rather light. Owing to the absence of several members of the committee, considerable business was laid over untiL the next meeting. The reason given for the light atteri dance is that the railroad men could not spare the1 time occupied in traveling, as one of them informed a representative of The Chronicle, "It is our business to remain at home, and let other peo ple do the traveling McD. Lewis, of Wapinitia, says he made his first haul out ot politics yes terday. It was not a big haul to be sure, it was only the value of a boar pig, but he got the pig, and he got it as the re ward of his devotion to democratic prin ciples, and got it honestly to boot. Mr. Lewis bought the pig from Jno. D. Whitten, of Kingsley, and placed it in a dry goods box to take it home in a hack. Going down Tygh Hill the pig raised the lid of the box and jumped out, -without notifying its owner. When Mr. Lewis got to the Tygh store he discovered his loss, and thinking the pig was gone for good, he determined to drive home to his ranch. Just then, however, he met a wicked defender of the McKinley tariff, whom he desired to convert' from the error of his ways, and as the person in question was a tough case, a couple of hours were spent in vain effort to con vince him that the tariff is a tax. At the end of that time a neighbor, who had found the errant pig, .was seen driving it tow ards the Tygh store. Thus a couple of hours spent in missionary work, de voted to the interests of tariff reform were rewarded by the restoration of the lost pig, and that is how Mr. Lewis made his first haul out of politics. From the Dally Chronicle, Monday. John McAuley of Antelope is at the Umatilla house. Our old-time friend and fellow towns man, (Jeorge W. iilloon, is in the city. John Ryan, of Five-Mile, made the Chronicle office a pleasant visit today. Ed. Hannafin, a prominent citizen of Kent, Sherman county, is at the Uma tilla house. A slight frost visited this section last night but not enough, it is believed, to injure the fruit prospects. Hon. J. D. Lee, of 'Portland, is in the city oil a visit to his family, who are yet residents of The Dalles. - Mr. Hugh Glenn, of this city, was on the passenger train for Portland Jast eve ning.

A fine collection of rare plants was received by Mr. J. W. French last week, direct from Columbus, Ohio. Some of the roses in the lot bloomed while on the route.

The county ticket nominated here last Saturday is; on the whole, composed of good men who would if elected fill the various offices efficiently and well. Mr. Geo. Mel lican leaves today for Gilliam county to work upon the herds on the stock range of Mr. D. M. French. He is said to be an -adept at spaying, and intends to remain in this part of the country some time. At the request of Senator Michell, the postoffice department has issued an order calling for proposals for mail ser vice, to commence July 1 next, from Prineville to Warm Springs, Or., and back again, twice a week. The Dalles Lumbering company will start up their steam saw- mills this week.- They have a large quantity of logs on hand, so that they will be kept busy all Bummer, cutting them up into lumber. This company will endeavor to supply all the demands for lumber at this city, and also for shipment when desired. - A correspondent from Nansene tells us that a "daily express now runs once a day every two weeks" from the head of Jamison Hollow to Dufur. ' George Wil lards is the proprietor and the vehicle is a two wheel cart, made out of the hind wheels of a lumber wagon, but it gets there every time. Reports from the Tygh Ridge country and the high lands in the Nansene neighborhood say that two and a half inches ot snow fell all over that country last Saturday. The snow has since dis appeared and melted into the ground. Seeding is about finished. . Fall grain never looked as well at this season and the soil is in splendid condition for sprouting the young grain. A salt-petre mine, discovered in a cave in Umatilla county, explains the loss of sheep in that vicinity. It is stated that nearly 8000 sheep have died there dur ing the several years past. The cause of their loss, heretofore mysterious, is now made plain. Saltpetre in its refined state is worth $500 per ton, which gives one an idea of the great value of the find should the deposit prove extensive, Mr. D. J. Cooper has a very interest ing letter from Hon. Binger Hermann written on the day when he had his fight in the committee for the canal and locks at the cascades, about which the telegraph has fully informed . our readers. In this letter Mr. Hermann refers to the fact that there need be no doubts whatever but that this great improvement will now be speedily com pleted, and that ships may reach The Dalles -wharves from tlie sea direct within twenty-four months! The Chronicle believes this" to be true. It will be a grand event in the history of Eastern Oregon. The District of Columbia is to make up a cargo of foodstuffs for the starving nuuBlttas. .Saved from Death by Onions. , There has no doubt been more lives of children saver from death in croup or whooping cough by the use of onions than any - other known remedy, our mothers used to make poultices of them, or a syrup, which was always effectual in breaking up a cough or cold. Dr. Gnnn's Onion Syrup is made bv combin ing a few simple remedies with'it which, make it more effective s a medicine and destroys the taste and odor of the onion. 50c.
