THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1892.
The Weekly Ghfoniele.
THE DALLES,
OREGON
LOCAL AMI PEKSOSAL.
Krom thu Daily :hroiiic!e, Mondiiy.
'' ' MrJs. G. Eicdou, of Kussell & Co.,
Portland, has been in this vicinity for
several days. With Mr. Hood he has
becohie quite well acquainted with the
richness of Wasco and Klickitat counties.
Some pretty little lambs, which - were
too weak to keeb up with the proces
sion, in a 12,000 band of sheep taken ont
of Oregon yesterday, were distributed
' iunongst good little boys and girls of
The Dalles yesterday.
' I)r. L. Vanderpool, of Dufurj' passed :
through the city today on his- way to
answer a summons as a witness in the
United States court on the' celebrated
wagon road case. lie gave his evidence
in a lower court in this same cose, about
18 years ago.
There will be a meetiujtof the Alumni
Association of the Wasco Independent
Academy tomorrow (Tuesday) evening,
at 7 :30 o'clock at the residence of Mr.
Geo. Rnch. All members are requested
to be present. By order of the presi
dent, Nona Rueh, secretary.
The Sunday schools of Three Mile and
Fairview had a joint meeting yesterday
and enjoyed some excellent singing.
Little Myrtie and Retta Stone, grand
daughters of Capt. Stone, were present,
and with their really fine voices contri
buted much to the pleasures of the
occasion.
At Lyle, a promising little commun
ity below The Dalles, on the Washing
ton side of the Columbia, the good peo
ple met together Saturday evening and
enjoyed a very successful rendition of
The Mikado, by local talent. A gentle
man who was present, speaks well of the
entertainment.
Capt. McXulty reports that i all his
experience on the middleColuuibia river
he never met with a stronger wind than
blew yesterday when he made a land- j
ing at Moeicr. It required skillful use of
the Kedge to warp the Regulator away
from the landing, and considerable time
was lost in the effort.
Young Johnny Sturling, the telegraph
messenger boy, was badly hurt this
morning by being thrown from Mr.
Booth's delivery wagon and run over by'
a horse. He waB waiting in the wagon
at a residence where the driver was de
livering a package, when a passing team
. started the horse. At Cross corner the
runaway collided , with another rig,
. throwing the boy out, and he was run
over. He is badly bruised, but it is
..hoped no bones are broken. Dr. Eshel
inan was called to attend the case.
The air is full of rumors of new dis
coveries of gold. It is said that eighteen
claims have been filed near the mouth
of Wood gulch and that Mose Claussen
and Elmer Hadley have discovered a
quartz ledge on Rock creek, on the Mc
Cann place. Old-timers will recognize
it as the McClellan, formerly the Rene
Smith ranch.
The ferry was kept busy all day yes
terday ferrying a band of 12,000 mutton
sheep across the Columbia at this point,
for the markets of Puget sound and
British Columbia. They are the prop
erty of Mr. J. A. Anderson, and will be
pastured in Eastern Washington and
marketed in accordance with, the com
mercial law of supply and demand.
Although the ballots in use today are
nearly as long as the law which makes
their use necessary, but little difficulty
was experienced in getting them into
the boxes. With some it was a laborious
job searching out the names of candi
dates they wanted to vote for. It was a
joy to the chronic who always "scratched
bis ticket." Every voter bad to do lots j
of scratching today, in order to comply
with the law.
The accidental drowning at Celilo, of
Mr. A. Byers, was more than usually
sad. His wife is overcome with grief,
and so event can occur to alleviate the
burdens of her sorrow more than the
restoration of the body for Christian
burial, hence it is doubly hoped, for her
sake that he may be found, although it
seems a hope against fate, owing to the
turbulent condition of the Columbia in
its present high Btage.
Recently, upon an order from Mrs.
Shpott, Seufert. Bros, shipped a couple
oi Royal Chinook Salmon to her eons, in
college at Notre Dame, Indiana. The
fish were highly appreciated, as will be
seen by the following from Roger 6., ac
knowledging receipt of the fish, and of th'e
reception accorded to them, he says:
"They came in excellent condition, and
created a great stir among the epicureans
of Notre Dame. All of whom were loud
in their praises, and admitted that -it
was the best' and - most luscious
denixen ' of the deep . that had
ever tickled their palates. .- Father
Walsh and the rest, made more than
one stab into the, juicy sides of its car
mine flesh. The larger fish was served
op to more than forty people, and there
was enough left to feed a few ' more. It
was the first delicacy of that kind eaten
by a good number here. I sent a piece
to all the Oregon contingent, and they
were delighted to receive the same.
The fish came hard and plump; in fact,
as if they had been ont of the water only
a few hours. We still have one left, in
anticipation of a barbecue next Friday."
Tygh Valley has been an important
trading point for many years. ' H.
Staley started a store there about 15 years
ago which, after changing hands several
tirue6, at last became the property of the
present owners,' Van Duyn & Hollings
head. These gentlemen carry a fine
stock of goods and do Rn excellent and
profitable business. They have just
platted and laid out fifty acres in the
neighborhood of the store for a town
site, and a number of lots are already
said . to. have, changed hands, some of
them to Dalles people. Old settlers say
that Tygh Valley used to be an Indian
paradise and it is a lovely spot indeed.
It will not be surprising therefore, if a
nice little town grows up there in the
near future, especially as the people are
talking of building soon a church house
and graded school.
From the Daily Chronicle, Wednesday.
Sunshine and showers, and a midnight
hall storm, followed the election here.
Mi. and Mrs. Edwin Burlingame of
Dufur, visited the Chbo.viclk dffice today.
When you make war on the gophers
and squirrels bury them in the orchard.
They are great fertilisers.
Moro has won the victory for the
county seat in Sherman county by a
majority of over 100 votes. .
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cooper of
Sonoma, California, are visiting the fam
ily of Mr. C. V. Champlin on Cbenoweth
creek. - .
There was a big run of salmon last
night. Sam Thurman caught 650 pounds
in his famous tin cruiser at the mouth
of Three mile.
M. M. Waterman of Eight mile,
ceived today, by express from Philadel
phia a pair of thoroughbred Yorkshire
pigs. They are beauties.
Instead of winking out, the Astoria
Herald puts in' its appearance now in
the morning daily, and with dispatches
almost as good as Thr Chroxiclk.
The vote in The Dalles Monday was
within about forty of being equal to the
days when the vote of the shops was a
factor in the population of the city.
Engineer George Brown received in
formation Monday of the sudden death
of his father at Portland. Mr. and Mrs.
Brown went down on the morning pas
senger yesterday. '
Labor day, Sunday, and election day,
all falling in a heap demoralized busi
ness so much that the next assembly
will be asked to shove labor day a few
notches further down on the calendar.
Major Ingalls brought to this office yes
terday a head of lettuce which measures
five feet and three inches in circumfer
ence and 51 inches in diameter. It was
grown on the old Hill ranch on Mill
creek. . '
" Sheriff J. McLean of Sprague, Wash.,
was here yesterday and took
back with him a man named John Mc
Glynn who was arrested last Saturday
at Tygh Valley, by Marshal Gibons of
this city, charged with the crime of forg
ing a check for $300. McGlynn con
sented to return without a requsition
from the governor of Washiugton.
Grass Valley in Sherman county, is
the center of a fine farming community
and is rapidly becoming an important
trading point. It has two large general
merchandise stores ; one owned by
Moore & Rolling and the other by Scott
& Co. A new livery stable, and black
smith and wagon shop are now in course
of erection, and other improvements are
anticipated.
Portland is urged, by some parties in
terested in real estate perhaps, to resort
to deep wells for her water supply. The
Dalles will not object. The water here,
from pure mountain streams, would
then be a great source of attraction to
Portland's emaciated and sickly people,
in quest of a healthy locality in which
to recuperate. Bore vour wells, but
give us The Dalles water, every time.
A. J. Dufur, jr., of Dufur is running a
cheese factory on his ranch on Fifteen
mile. He tarns out two cheeses a day
that weigh abont 20 pounds each. They
are full cream and ought to be good, as
Mr. Dufur is an old, experienced cheese
maker, having run a cheese factory many
years ago on the Columbia bottom, con
venient to what is now known as Clarno
station, on the old Dufur homestead, and
there was made the first cheese ever
manufactured in Oregon.' Mr. : Dufur
will not place any of his cheese on "the
market till about the last of July: :
- .'- : '-
-Thk Cheomclk- dispatches' speak of
the magnitude of the telegraphing work
in Minneapolis today incident to the
convention, and estimate that an oper
ator has to handle 2,500 a day to get
through the stack. Noticing a stack in
the Western Union telegraph office here
as this Minneapolis report was taken off,
we inquired of Mr. Balfe.. Johnson, The
Dalles operator how -far jthat compared
with this "one-horse town ," where there
isn't a rood of agricultural- land; within
forty miles, nor a peach tree, nor a
strawberry plant, nor an ox, or a cow
nor a sheep, nor a horse; nothing; but
lizards and d. f.'s, according to the eeti
mate or some people ; ana we were in
formed that The Dalles office, yesterday,
received 1,074. words, and sent 1.850.
making '2,924 words handled by MrJ
Johnson. This does not include words
in ' checks, - addresses and signatures,
which would ran the amount np 500 or
600 more.' . We simply give the facts.
Draw your own conclusions as to The
- The -Oregon ian of today says: "The
returns are still far from satisfactory, j
bnt enough, is known to be almost cer-:
tain who has been elected. Hermann's,
majority in the first district is already :
over 4000. Ellis in the second district
will have close to 2,500 majority.
Moore's majority ' for supreme judge is
much less and will hardly exceed 1 ,500.
Chamberlain receivd all the votes his
friends claimed for him, and now leads
Webster by 500. The people's party has
not made so good a showing as indicated
yesterday, although its adherents claim
their strongholds in the back counties
have not yet been heard from. From
present appearances, the legislature will
stand: Senate republicans 18, demo
crats 12; house republicans 36, demo
crats 24.
Dr. Hollister was pleasantly surprised
a few days ago by discovering, between
the leaves of an old medical book that
used to belong to his father who was a
physician, a satin badge of the stirring
days of 1844 when Henry Clay was the
idol of the people but could never reach
the coveted goal of the presidency. The
top of the badge has the legent "Clay
now, Polk never." On a shield below
the legend, and above the picture of
Clay are the words, "He protects our
labor" which reminds one that the con
tent between free trade and protection
had occupied the attention of politicians
years before the republican party came
into existence. Below the picture are
the words "A nations choice," Theodore
Freylinghuysen of New Jersey, the far
mer of Ashland.
Here are the contents of one pocket of
re. i a six year old Dalles boy. - They were
taken out yesterday afternojn, in the
presence of four persons who will verify
this statement, if any one doubts : 12
marbles, 1 fish (slightly decomposed), 7
tobacco tags, 2 sticks, 1 brass hair orna
ment, I broken poker chip, 3 pebbles, 1
pant's buckle, 3 strings, 1 iron rod, 2
Sunday school papers, 1 envelope, 1
sheet of writing paper, 1 paste board
card, 1 iron ring, 1 brass button, 1 hand
kerchief, 1 tin saw (mado by himself), 1
leaf cooking receipts, 1 marble sack, 1
j squirrel skin and 1 newspaper clipping.
It is a little unfortunate that the boy
only has one pocket. It was the . fish
gave him away. - It smelled so loud that
his mother made him undress while she
washed him all over. Still he smelled,
when the investigation began with the
discovery of the decomposed fish and
the other contents of his lone pocket.
From the Dally Chronicle, Thursday.
George Cochrane, a native scion of the
"land o'cakes" is in the city.
Secretary of state Geo. W. McBride
and part of his family are at the Uma
tilla house.
U. Thorburn of Kingsley, a native
clansman of the Scotch Highlands,
in the city last night.
Twenty-six persons ; chiefly from the
eastern states, accompanied Rev. O. D.
Taylor this morning on the Regulator ex
cursion to the cascades.
Allan Grant, a descendant of one of
the heroes who fought with Robert the
Bruce at the battle of Bannockburn, is
at the Umatilla house.
Some fall grain on the lighter soils
near the Columbia river is suffering
from lack of rain. Back from the river
along the . foot hills and in . the
higher latitudes grain is still in good
condition. A nice shower fell the other
night in the Fifteen mile neighborhood.
The latent possibilities in ordinary
Columbia river sand, under the benefits
of irrigation, may 'be seen by looking at
the crop of rye, wheat and bats now
growing on the building sand in front
of the Princ & Nitschke brick, -on Second
street, now in course of erection.
The Multnomah county election is a
good deal like that' of Wasco county; it
is not satisfactory to either party. Tony
Noltner gives notice in the Dispatch that
he will have no more fellowship with
citizens' movements but will make a
straight fight, inside strict party lines,
in the approaching city election. He
says : "The Telegram finds much con
solation in the result of the election in
this county. It takes very little to com
fort some people."
" Portland Dispatch: The new ballot
system has been tried and found to work
satisfactory to the'great majority of hon
est voters, perhaps a few men have been
. deprived of voting through ignorance,
, but better that than have men driven
, np to the polls like sheep and voted by a
j boss.
I A gentleman stopped in Kiugsley a
few night ago, on his way to The Dalles,
who had on hfs wagon 2,500 pounds of
produce that he had hauled up the new
Tygh hill grade with a span of horses.
He allowed he conld easily have hauled
500 pounds more. On the old grade an
empty wagon was a good load.
Mr. John Argus, of Buffalo, and Dr.
Cornell of Saginaw, left The Dalles this
morning upon the return trip to their
homes. Dr. Cornell goes via N. P. R.,
and will stop a few days in Montana.
Mr. Argus goes via the' S. P. R., and
will visit California by the way. We
look for them both to return to The
Dalles in the course of human events. '
It is expected that the Regulator
band will furnish music for tomorrow
night's excursion.
