He had no driver.
The East Oregonian reports rattle
snakes numerous in Pendleton. Per
haps that's the reason people don't work
their gardens. They are afraid of snakes
getting into their boots.
June I7th, 1876, the thermometer
showed the temperature at The Dalles to
be 103". That is the only time the rec
ord has advanced above 100 until yester
day, when it reached 101i. Today it
: was an even 100".
The Wilbur Register states that' there
is great complaint in that part of the
country regarding the scarcity of squir
rel poison, it being impossible to obtain
it from local dealers. Send to The
Dalles, Snipes & Kinersly can supply
the Inland Empire.
In some sections of Eastern Oregon
squirrels are reported as literally mow
ing down the crops, in some places whole
fields have been devastated. This is
not at all necessary. Just send to Snipes
and Kinersly, for some of that sure
shot squirrel poison.
Very many persons are careless in ref
erence to cleanliness about their prenii
' see, but as a general thing they do not
live in The Dalles.- We read of
them occasionally up at Spokane over
at Tacoma, or down at Astoria. The
Dalles is an exceptionally clean city,
we are pleased to be able to say.
Several Indians have been drowned in
the Columbia this year, but the saddest
of all reported, is that of an old blind
Indian whose canoe broke ajrin, up in
the Umatilla region, and help that
' might have saved was withheld, as no
body who saw him knew of bis infirm
ity. The last heard of him he was
drifting hopelessly and helpless toward
the falls of Celilo.
The Chinese value the claws of bears
very highly and will pay fabulous prices
for them under certain conditions. It
is believed by them that a bear's claw
brings good luck. But if the Celestials
in this town who sell whiskey to In
dians, are caught, their bears claws will
not save them from a merited overhaul
ing. Hitherto the courts have been
lenient to this class of criminals, white,
black, or almond-eyed, but the fre
quency of outrageous proceedings on the
part of drunken Indians will surely de
mand some very stringent measures
soon. . - i . .
' A drunken Indian took possession of
Mill creek bridge last evening and made
a vigorous ' war upon the whites. He
was armed and for a time made things
altogether too demonstrative for Messrs.
Schanno, Marden, and Senator Hilton,
and other residents of West. End.
Finally Chief Engineer Jud. . 8. Fish
came along the road at a 2 :4ft gait with
his famous trotter Sim Reed, accompan
ied by Mr. S. H. Soudfreiin, and the
Indian gave them a signal to halt, but
Jud didn't halt. He dodged the bullets
and came in a flying, soon after which
Officer Gibons went in pursuit of the
noble red man, raised the seige, and
marched the besieger into the cooler.
He bad a companion who escaped. As
these drunken Indian fracases are be
coming quite monotonous, it is deemed
advisable that their source of fire water
supplies be detected and pulled. It is
also suggested that the nominal fines
imposed both upon the seller of the
whisky and the drunken Indian, is too
small to be any punishment, and both
are consequently more or less defiant
A band of cattle crossed the ferry into
Oregon from the hills of Klickitat this
afternoon. Thev are forJ the butchers
trust at Trontdale'; and bat e been picked
up just any way to get them. ' ;
Last Saturday noon as Mr. Frank
Woodcock was unloading a truck load of
logs at the Wamic saw mills, the team
at the yard which is used to do the un
loading, and is trained to work at the
clink of a chain, heard the chain fall and
started to pull the load off the truck, be
fore the hind chock was loosened. This
threw the log toward Mr. Woodcock, and
he was struck by it with fearful force.
It was thought at first that he was
killed. As soon as -possible a messenger
was eent to The Dalles, and Dr. Logan
was summoned to attend the case. He
says Mr. Woodcock is terribly bruised
np, and suffers considerable1 pain, but
that no bones are broken, and he will
pull through with careful treatment.

delicious portion of the day here now.

Our reporter yesterday omitted the
names of M. T., Nolan and O. Kinersly

that he omitted the . name of Judge

Judge was trying to climb a tree, and
Mr. Schanno had gone up ahead of him.
Schutz says: "Go a little higher up;
don't you see, my legs are exposed!"
This should have appeared in the re
port, but we hadn't then heard of it.
The Portland industrial exposition has
adopted the general plan of securing for
their exposition this year all the ex
hibits intended for the Chicago exposi
tion of 1893. This plan, especially in
regard to' jarred fruits, grain, minerals,
or whatever is not perishable or can be
preserved, will be of great advantage to
visitors in the assurance of superiority
which a successful competition at Port
land will give them. The exposition
management will carefully store such
exhibits free of cost. Our people should
avail themselves of this liberal proposi
tion, and thus assure a good representa
tion both at Chicago and Portland, at
the least expense of time and trouble.

The Sun agrees to the proposition that
the' seller of whisky to Indians has .not
heretofore been sufficiently punished.
It says : "The utter folly of a law which
inflicts the ridiculous penalty of a ten
dollar fine on parties selling whisky to
Indians for first offense, is apparent.
It is no check to the evil. It is just such
laws as this that cause the people to
adopt lynch law sometimes in self
defense.'"' . ,

Eight or ten young men, college
students from ' abroad, are now with
their parents, or will be by the 3d, in
The Dalles. This is a subject which af
fords a few suggestive thoughts. The
Dalles is better located for university
and college purposes than most any in
stitution of - the kind in America ;
healthy, available, and surrounded by
natural attractive advantages for the
student beyond an estimate in the value
of a thorough course of study. Why
can't The Dalles have a superior educa
tional institution of its' own ? ' ' ''
