Harney county is enjoying a genuine
mining craze over recent discoveries of
placer diggings. Fabulous stories are
being told of the great finds made and
hundreds are rushing to the alleged gold
fields in the hope of making fortunes.
It is the old story and the most alluring
anil deceptive of all things is the finding
of a supposed placer claim.
Charles W. Wing of Wamic, called at
this office today and left two samples of
winter apples that look as fresh and
sound as if they had just been plucked
off the tree. It is not generally known
that the Wamio settlement, where these
apples wergrown, can and does pro
duce as fine fruit, of all the hardier
kinds, as is grown anywhere. It is
quite likely, now that the Tygh hill
grade is an assured fact, that The Dalles
folks may have a chance to purchase
some of the big apples from Wamic next
laU.
W. S. Graham has gone into partner
ship with Charley May in the sign
Daintine business and ' the rocks and
fences between here and Eight-mile at
test the quality of their work.

ed entirely several days ago, and the

ovation and disinfecting and as a result
Mr. Spencer will be present at the
prayermeeting tomorrow and also fill his
pulpit on Sunday at tne usual nours.
The prospects of the Single Track rail
way Construction company of Portland
have materially brightened of late, and
in a note to a stockholder in this city,
Mr. Z. T. Wright, secretary of the com
pany, says: "Our prospects are good,
and the doctor (J. B. Mahana, the presi
dent and inventor), is greatly encouraged
and is now at work in the construction
department, as fast as he can."
Judging from appearances in the first
issue of The Vindicator, the east side of
Portland has accepted their old time ad
vocate of 1 ocal interests with no uncer
tain determination to stay by it. The
Vindicator, in its former days, was a
power for good ; but its outspoken senti
ment was misunderstood, hence unap
preciated. "Now, the people are evi
dently willing to admit that the error
rested with them, and will give it hearty
support. "So mote it be."
Many are the jokes and good stories,
told by and uport participants at the Odd
Fellows' picnic yesterday, at Hood
River. The foot ball game and the
singing attractions combined to nearly
frighten the life out of an Indian who
was enrapped by the song. It seems
that while the poor Indian was so in
tently interested, wholly unaware of
anything else going on about him, the
ball stopped within a foot of him, the
rushers after it at full speed. The tall
was the object with them of course, and
as the Indian didn't catch on, instantly
he was surrounded by the players, and
the next moment picked himself up and
wobbled away the most surprised indi
vidnal in Oregon. He was not badly
hurt, but his woe begone look indicated
that he sternly objected to remaining to
listen to the balance of the song.
From the Daily Chronicle, Thursday.
Dr. H. E. Custer of Mitchell, is in the
city.
Mrs. Thomas of Dufur was in town

J. H. Oakes of Mitchell is at the Uma
tilla house.

gealed element" business. :

night, the silver medal was awarded to

fish wheels except one or two low set
ones belonging to Seufort Brothers.

ful farmers of the Wapinitia country,

The Pasco Headlight will temporarily
suspend publication, its editor announc
ing that he can no longer live on wind
and sand.
The appointment of Maj. Ingalls' at
the Gilman school house, has been post
poned, in consequence of the accident
which occurred to him on Tuesday.
California strawberries were on sale in
the city yesterday. The recent cold
snap must have kept back this species
of fruit not much less than two weeks.
Capt. S. Pierce, of Portland, who has
been missing from horn since last Janu
ary, is reported at the soldiers' home in
Dayton, O., and is very ill.
There is a fine run of salmon in the
river at this place and all kinds of nets
aie reaping a good . harvest. Those
taken up till this time, have been mostly
blue backs.
It is now believed that the Tygh . Hill
grade will not cost as much money as
was at first anticipated. This estimate
is made by comparison of the mile of road
already built.
The Wasco warehouse is receiving a
liberal share of all the wool arriving in
the city, and every pound of it, where at
all possible, is being shipped from here
by the Regulator. .
Two more "free list" .bills have been
agreed upon by the domocratic majority
of the ways and means committee. ' The
bills relate to lumber and silver lead
ores, and it is proposed to make each
tree oi duty.
Rnmor has it that there are more ho
bos in the city than are absolutely
needed for its peace and prosperity.
They were specially numerous on the
bluff during the past two or three days.
The next thing we'll hear of will be that
England does not regard with . favor
the proposed international silver con
ference. The English regard it as a
political dodge and being perfectly satis
fied with the gold standard are not likely
to encourage any movement designed to
disturb it.
S. B. Adams thinks he sees money in
the establishment of a cold storage con
cern for cooling off defeated candidates
after the June election. S. B., will
build the appartments and Curg Cates
will furnish the ice. This is considered
an improvement on a "vovaee up Salt
Creek.
It is pretty hard on Sir Charles Tupper
to be denounced as N. G., by a Nova
Scotiaa poacher ; and then be criticised
by a paper of the Oregonian standard, as
"seeking to make out a case of hardship
and injustice" for the same fellows who
are sailing around from Cape Breton to
Behring sea after contraband seal.
There is a glut in the San Francisco
potato market, and the wharves are
piled with tubers rotting in the sacks.
The harbor commissioners visited the
commission merchants a few days ago
and informed them that the spuds must
be disposed of without delay or they
would be thrown overboard that is the
potatoes, not the merchants.
J. L. Harper, the contractor for, the
improvements on the eastern approach
to the Hood River bridge, was in The
Dalles yesterday. From him we learn
that the work will be finished by the
end of the present week. A strong
guard rail and fence, with iron and
wooden posts have been placed from the
head of the grade to the bridge and the
track has been widened so as to allow of
two passes in this distance. Mr. Harper
has earned fair wages by the job not
withstanding the fact that his bid was
only $415, against the highest bid of
$1,542.14.
COKVALLIS LETTER.
The New President of the Agricultural
College.
Special to The Ciibokicle.
Cobvallis, April 22. Us webfeet peo
ple have been blessed with plenty of
rain. We had plenty of wind too, on
Sunday ; and last night were visited by
a heavy frost.
The president elect of the Oregon
Agricultural College is a Kansas City
man, whose name I have not ascertained.
Hon. Wallis Nash favored the college
with a short, sensible speech Monday
morning. In the course of his talk, Mr.
Nash said that he did no want to scold,
but he did want to advise some of the
boys to quit "acting the monkey." .
. The boys that have the measles are
getting along very well. Frank Lee,
former editor of the Klickitat Leader,
was taking notes at the college last week,

follows the occupation f a
teamster. Uncle Jerome Everett is able

ARBOR DAT CELEBRATED.
"Better Late Than Never'
the
Klngsley Motto.
Special to Thk Chronicle.
JUXGSLE75, Or., April 23. We were a
little late in getting ready for arbor day,
but we celebrated the day with appro.
pnate exercises on the afternoon of the
22d. At one o'clock the scholars, and
their parents and friends who were to
assist us in the .celebration, assembled
in the school house and for an hour, we
were entertained by various exercises,
Reading the law of Oregon which es
tablished the day, a story telling about
the first arbor day, and how it came to
be established, and where. Nebraska
was the first state to take action on this
subject of tree planting, and the first
year, over a million trees were planted
in various parts of that state, this is now
about twenty years ago. Then some
thoughts about our country and what it
would be in the future, with remarks
about the flag and its beauty, and how
we ought to love our country. Reading
the Star Spangled Banner and Flag of
the Free. Speeches by the very little
folks added to the pleasure of the occa
sion. After an hour .spent in this way
all adjourned to the school yard, where
the ground had been marked off for ' the
trees, and there was very busy work for
a while with the spades digging the holes
and setting Out the trees. Each scholar
was provided with a. tree and planted it
in the place assigned, naming the tree as
his fancy dictated. We have Washing
ton, Lincoln, Cleveland and other names j
of distinction, a' record will be kept of
the trees and their position on the
ground and by whom planted.' This
record will be preserved among the rec
ords of the school, and will be of interest
in the future; when the trves that were
planted today shall have grown to large
and thrifty trees, and the children of the
next generation shall play under them,
if they shall ask "Who planted this
tree" the records will show. But this
as well as other good days came to an
end. We have made a beginning and it
is for others to follow, up the work.
Twenty-eight trees were planted, twenty
across the front of the school ground and
eight on the side, liere is room for
fifty more, which can be planted in
coming years. X. Y. Z.
