THE DAIiLES WEEKLY CHRONICIiE,-FRID AY, APRIL 15, 1892. C3) The Weekly Ghroniele. THE DALLES, - - - - - OREGON frKIDAY - - - - APRIL 15, 1892. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. Frpthe Daily Chronicle, Tuesday. J. P. Van Houten of Hay Creek, is at the Umatilla bouse. What was left of the toboggan slide, after the fire, has recently disappeared. Traces of frost were visible this morn ing at The Dalles, but no damage was done to fruit. A meeting of the board of delegates of thev45re department will be held this (Tuesday) evening. Six new fire plugs have been placed at various points on the bluff and two more await placement. B. S. Pague, United States signal ser vice observer at Portland, was in the city today on his way to Umatilla. J. T. Peters & Co., are moving into their new office and store which is to be . fitted and furnished in fine style. T. H. Ward late of the Wasco Sun, came up from Portland last night and is. . stopping at the Umatilla house. Hugh Glenn received the contract for the construction of the new Congrega tional church building, the corner stone of which will be laid tomorrow. Mr. and Mrs. James McMillen of Wasco, spent last night in the city and gave the Cuboxicle a pleasant call to day before leaving for home. E. Knight of Grass Valley, Ezra Hen son of Kingsley, M. A. Leslie of Wasco, and Geo.- D. McEwan of Antelope, are registered at the Umatilla house. . W. W. Steiwer, of Fossil, republican candidate for joint senator for AVasco, Gilliam and Sherman counties, passed through the city today on his way home from Portland. Prineville News. This week Nye & Allen sold 8000 head of mutton sheep to Martin and Watson to be delivered after shearing. We understand the price received averaged nearly three dollars. ; A train load of thirty-two cars of har vesting machinery from the factory of Russell & Co., of Massilon, Ohio, will pass through this city for Portland on the 18th inst. John Filloon & Co., of The Dalles, are Russell & Co.'s agents : at this place. Senator Mitchell has presented the resolutions of the republican county convention of Wasco county, Or., asking an extension of two years time for the payment of forfeited railroad lands. 6ne lone salmon, a handsome fellow, weighing about fifteen pounds found its way into Henry Lauritsen's nets at Crate's point last night. It is the first of the season and the only one we have heard of having been caught near this- place. The Fisk Jubilee Singers were greeted last night with a large and highly ap preciative audience. The fact thatevery piece was encored and a response made to every call shows that the singers were obliging and the listners thoroughly en joyed the music. We are pleased to note that from a financial point of view, also, the concert was quite successful The event of Astoria Tuesday was the arrival of the lightship which is to be stationed off the mouth of the river, The new arrival was saluted by all the steamers in port as she came up the river in tow of the tug Fearless and escorted by the Manzanita, with Cap. Richardson and Cap. Rhoades, inspec tor of lighthouses, aboard. The light ship received a great many visitors, and an were ueiignteci witn the arrange ments for the comfort of her crew. She will probably not be anchored in posi- tion for a week yet ' Mr. Goss, the leading spirit in the Astoria railway move, dined at the . Umatilla house Sunday evening, enroute to Astoria from Salt Lake city. He met Col. Taylor here, and they had a brief interview, from which a representative of The Chronicle learned that every thing in detail is fully and finally fixed for speedy and complete construction of . the railroad from Astoria to a connection , with the transcontinential system. It is too silly to think of a failure this time, , The Astoria and South Coast turned over , to the new company, will be put into "fine shape immediately for sea side tafjKic. -y-swe warn oi.a. field, tne milK man, got scared this morning while standing in front of Mr. Newman's bakery, by Mr. ; Bennet's big Newfoundland dog which got under the horses and so frightened : them that they broke away from Mr. ; Field, in spite ot all he could do to hold them. The team ran south, on Union, turned east on Fifth, then' north on Wellington and finally collided with a live tree at the northeast corner of the Geo. A. Liebe residence property. Both horses were thrown and the tree felled to the ground. They were then caught but beyond the breaking of the harness and a singletree little other damage was done. . . , " It" would take a pretty good .sized ' book to enumerate the stock of goods tinder cover at Mays & Crowe's estab lishment in this city."" It embraces everything in the line of agricultural implements, from a lawn mower to a threshing machine; from a pick and shovel to a feed mill ; and more are coming. ' They received a carload of Stndebaker wagons today. The es tablishment covers an area of 175 xlOO feet, all under roof . excepting about 50x100. They are sole agents for all territory tributary to The Dalles, for Studebaker's . wagons; Osborne's mowers and reapers ; Charter Oak. and Acorn stoves.; Overman's carriages and buggies ; and can duplicate any article carried by the largest implement house in Portland. A section of the premises is today being put in shape to receive a large stock of . iron and barbed wire, particulars of which will appear tomor row in the shape of a thoroughly busi ness address to the purchasing public.

High license killed six dead falls and dive saloons in Albina last Monday. Senator Rayley, of Pendleton, is not in the race for congress on the democratic ticket. W. E. Neffof Hood River is about to remove to Forest Grove to engage in the photograph business. Full particulars about the Shadow Social, to be given next Friday evening. in tomorrow's Chronicle. At this time of year men have a wild yearning to work in their garden, that they don't have when the weeds begin to grow. . Mr. John End, of Wamic, who was in the city today, says the frost was pretty heavy in that region last night, but did no damage. Mrs. J. H. Coyenton has the thanks of this office for a handsome boquet of lilacs, and wild cherry and Chickisaw plum blossoms. Mrs. E. C. Pentland will leave The Dalles tomorrow for Halsey, on a visit to her mother, Mrs. Hayes, prior to taking up her residence at her new home in Frankfort, Wash. Col. Taylor, Dr. Aug. C. Kinney, and the ladies accompanying them, are mak ing the best possible use of the time, during their visit to The Dalles. This afternoon, piloted by R. B. Hood, they are off for a trip to the dalles of the Col umbia. Ice must nave formed somewhere a this vicinity last night, as the thermom eter indicated 30 and a dry frost was noticed. It is thought that fruit was not injured, as the trees are now pretty well protracted with leaves. Some of the prisoner in the Umatilla county jail made an ineffectual attempt Monday night last to escape from their bondage. The door of the cell was opened by means of a leaden key which the prisoners made out of a chunk of lead melted on a tin platter, but morn ing dawned before they were able to break through the outer brick wall. Report has it that satisfactory terms have been arranged between representa tive democrats and Portland's committee of 150 by which a full combination state and county ticket shall be put in the field. This will give the voters of Mult nomah county a chance to make a selec tion out of from four to six candidates for every office. Capt. Pratt was illustrating last even' mg now unanimously the democrats in his Salem precinct turn out to vote at the republican primaries. In his prim ary last December, 159 votes were cast for mayor. These were, 79 democratic and eighty republican. At the last re publican primary election 134 votes were cast ; this left but twenty-five democrats in the precinct, but, says Capt. Pratt, "the full seventy-five turned out when the democrats held their meeting." The 12th of April is early, for new potatoes in this latitude, yet the family of J.N. Smith, who live a mile from town, on what is knownas the old Doherty place, ate their first meal of new potatoes yesterday. They were about the size of hen's eggs, and one of the boys who gathered himself around half a dozen of them, smaked his lips at the recollection as he said: "They were good," with" marked emphasis on the were. Now ye benighted citizens of the efete East, who yet sit shivering around winter fires, while snow and frost fill the landscape without, what think ye of new potatoes on the 12th of April, grown in the best country on the footstool of the Almighty? Evang. German Lutheran service will ! be held at the chapel on 9th street, on Good Friday at 2 o'clock p. m. Easter Sunday at 9 :30. Services for commun icants, and at 10:30 a. m., Easter ser vice and .holy communion. ' Notice of participation, of the holy" commnnion is solicited in advance. A; Horn, Pastor. -Last evening Mr. Geo." A. Young of Bake Oven, and Capt. Pratt, of Salem, met for the first time in many long years, and had a real good old time chat in the Umatilla house. They were of those who, in 1857, built the first woolen mills in Oregon, the Pioneer of Salem, and, when it was dedicated, with a co tillion party, the building was illumina ted with a tallow-dip for every pane of glass. Mr. Geo. Welch of this city, is another of those pioneer workers, but he was absent last evening. Had he been present, perhaps The Chbosicle might be able to say today that all of that company of 1857, now living, were in The Dalles. - Corner Stone Laid. The corner stone of the new Congre gational church was laid today at 2 p. m. in the presence of a large concourse of citizens. The ceremonies were con ducted according to the programme pub lished in yesterday's Chbokicle. The following is a list of the contents of the iron box placed in the cavity of the stone. A history of the church from its or ganization, compiled from the records; and also a history of the several church edifices occupied by the church. The origin of the present building fund.

French & Lauer have dissolved and the works will be carried on by Mr. J. N. Lauer, at the old stand. " The sharp irosts of the past few nights have undoubtedly hurt some of the peach ' bloom, though, it is hoped nofc-to any great extent. . The dalles and cascades fish wheels are expected to make an increased catch this summer and everything is in readi ness for the fishing season. v . M. Kana, ot xioou .reiver, who is attending the democratic county conven tion as a member of the third house, fave TnE Chronicle a pleasant call to ay. The first half mile of the lower of end the new Tygh hill grade will be built by the end of the week. Those' who have seen it say it is a splendid grade and that a wagon may go down it easily without a Drake. R. McNeil left at this office today two apples of the Red Cheeked Pippin variety which were grown at Mosier by J. M Elliott. They are simply beauties and are as sound as tne day they were plucked off the tree. A heavy blow, followed a low barome tor of 29.35 and temperature of 70 deg.. which reached a velocity of about forty miles an hour, visited this vicinity about J. o'clock this afternoon. It made things rattle at a lively rate for about half an hour although no damage to speak of was done. The invitations for the Columbia river centennial celebration are out, and are exceedingly pretty. On the front of the paper are the names of the officers of the society, together with the invitation signed by the president, recording secre tary and secretary of the executive board respectively. On the reverse side are views of the mouth of the river, the etty, and a chart of the channel show ing the latest soundings. The good ship Colombia under full sail is also pictured faithfully, with the date of the discovery of the river neatly engraved beneath Altogether the work ia artistic and dis plays very good taste. Reports from all parts of the country are to the effect that grain never looked better at this time of year and that the prospects for a bountiful harvest were possibly never so good, .'.-' Tom McCoy, the barber, had his left hand severely cut by a razor the other day. He was just about to commence shaving a customer and stooped to pick something off the floor, when the Tazor was drawn across the fleshy part of the palm, near the base" of thumb, cutting him to the bone. Dr. Eshelman put four stitches in it and the wound is heal ing as well as could be expected. We regret to hear that three children of Rev.- A. C. Spencer of this city are down with diphtheria,, as is also Lily Richards, daughter of W. D. Richards of Eight Mile who is visiting with Mr. Spencer. Mr. Spencer's family arrived in the city last Sunday morning and doubtless contracted tho disease before coming here. Dr. Sutherland is attend ing the patients and we sincerely hope for a favorable outcome, and that the much dreaded malady may spread no farther. A "Shadow Social" will be given by the members of the Good Templar's lodge of this city, tomorrow, (Friday) evening in the hall over the Chronicle building. The peculiar feature of the entertainment will consist in placing the young ladies behind a curtain so that the shadows are cast on it. In that position the ladies are sold at auction to the high es bidder, who may or may not get the girl of his heart, and. whose reward for the money invested is the privilege of treating his purchase to refreshments to be furnished in the hall at 25 cents a head. All the profits of the social will go for the benefit of the lodge. The mines which are attracting so many people over. in Washington, are located about forty miles south of the Mineral creek district, and can be reached from Castle Rock with but lit tle trouble. The finds are near Mount St. Helens and within twelve miles of a wagon road. Rich discoveries of gold and silver bearing quartz are reported and a general stampede to the district will soon begin. It is said that one young man, enlisted in Company t , U. A . G., refused to go to the front, when his comrades were called upon to march to Vale. A num ber were excused on account of sickness or urgent business, and it is said that this one will probably have reason for wishing that he had taken his chances with hia comrades, if there were any to be taken, before he gets through with it. COBVALLIS LETTER. College Student : Strike for Kales Arbor Dy Celebration Memorial Trees. Corvallis, Or., April 11, 1892. Editor Chronicle: In the last few days events have trans; pi red that will long be remembered by the Oregon Agricultural College. A week or so ago the preparatory depart ment was given new rules and regula tions, very different from what the students are used to. Hitherto the pre paratory have had the same advantages and privileges as their college mates who were in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd year classes. But according to the new ar rangement they would have to study at the college, and have only twenty-five minutes for each recitation. The classes were to be split up and the whole de partment run on public school princi ples. As the students' did not like the change,, they petitioned the faculty to restore the old rules, then waited two days and resolved to quit the college till their wrongs were righted. Ac accordingly only three out of the. fifty one preparatory ' students were present, Wednesday morning. The board of regents will try to straighten matters. Arbor Day was celebrated at the col lege by the planting of memorial trees an elm in front of the college, in mem ory of Prea, B. L. Arnold, and a cedar near Cauthorn Hall, in memory of Earnest M. Miller. Before the planting of the trees a good literary programme was carried out in the college chapel. Music for the occasion was furnished by the cadet brass band and the college choir. The board of regents met today and complied with the wishes of the prepar atory students by restoring the old rules lightly modified. The reading and spelling classes are the only ones af fected now by the change. BUNCHGRASS. - WANTED. . Four hundred men to sell our choice varieties of nursery stock either on sal ary or commission.
