Great Northern Difficulties.
Spokane, June 27. In consequence of
the unsettled right of way through this
city the Great Northern has decided to
mn a temporary line from Chattaroy
west crossing the Spokane at the mouth
of the little Spokane river, and striking
the line of the Great Northern again
west of the city. The temporary line
will be sixteen miles long, and will per
mit of the immediate completion of the
line to the Columbia river. It is Im
portant that the line shall be finished
across the Cascade mountains this sum
mer. The unadjusted condition of
things has compelled a lease of
lands here which is the storage site of
from, forty to sixty carloads of material
daily, which is unloaded at once, and
cars sent back east. Last night a train
of forty cars arrived with Eteel rails, ties
and material for the construction depart
ment. About 1,000 carloads of material
have already been received. Five side
tracks, half a mile in length, have been
constructed on .the land leased until
January 1st. The yards along the tracks
are lined with supplies. There are -100
carloads of ties, and 75 miles of 80-pound
steel. The nearest ballasting crew is at
work 25 miles east of the city and crews
are working all along the line for 200
miles east of Kalispell.
A Meeting of Pioneer!.
Yesterday an old gentleman called at
The Dalles postoffice and inquired for a
letter for Pickett. Mr. Chittenden ran
over the Ps and found one addressed to
David Pickett. Before handing it out
- he inquired of Mr. Pickett if he had
forgotten him. Mr. Pickett looked at
him a moment, then said : "If my
memory serves me, your name is Lyman
Chittenden." "That's right," said Mr.
Chittenden, then the two indulged in a
few minutes talk over old times. They
crossed the'plains together in 1852, and
. this was their first meeting after the
separation that year. Mr. Pickett is
now located in Crook county, and his
mind is filled With reminiscences ot the
Inland Empire, some of which would
make very entertaining sketches of his
tory in these parts, when hostile In
dians, roving' prospectors and miners
delving in the bowels of the eirth for
precious metals, formed the bulk of
population. Bunchgrass then covered j
the earth from the Columbia to the Sac-
ramento, and camp fires and blankets
formed all the comforts of man, with a
little bacon, beans and-coffee for his
refreshment.
Murder In Klickitat County.
Mr. W. L. Lord this forenoon received
a dispatch from Goldendale conveying
the startling information that the fore
man on his ranches, Mr. Win. Dunn,
had been shot arid killed by John Green.
Mr. Lord left at once for the scene of
the tragedy. Mr. Dnnn leaves a wife
and two children, one aged two years,
and one about eight months old. Green
is known in Th'e Dalles, where his
family once resided.
The trouble which caused the murder
grew out of a dispute about a lot of hogs.
Returning Eastward.
During the past few months Dalles
city has been the temporary abiding
place of numerous people from the east
ern states; and now, that the time
draws near when they are to leave us for
their own homes, many pleasant associa
tions formed during their stay must be'
broken. In conversation with one of
these, who is quite prominently con
nected on the Atlantic side, he said that
he came here expecting to find strangers,
but that in no instance has it appeared
to him that he has been among strangers
since coming. He has become specially
interested in the beauty of our surround
ing scenery, our waterfalls, mountains,
cultivated and wild flowers, the superior
quality of our fruit, and above all our in
comparably genial climate, our delight
ful drives, and our hospitable, intelligent
and companionable people. Yes, said he",
"I know I shall often find my memory
glancing back upon pleasant recollec
tions of this visit to The Dalles." The ;
Chronicle ventures to add that the
cood people of this citv will also kindly
remember these visitors.

A Pointer for The Dalles.
The following item may be a pointer
for" Dalles City property holders. m It
shows the kind of faith that moves
mountains, when they are found to be
in the way, and builds great cities.

the began the construction of a much
needed canal, which was expected to
coBt $50,000,000, and every citizen took
stock patriotically, according to his
means. When the money was all gone
the canal lacked a good deal of comple
tion, and the city at once invested $15,
000,000 additional."
A Royal Chinook Feast.
In a private letter to Mr. S. L. Brooks,
acknowledging the receipt of samples of
The Dalles' royal fish, Mr. S. S. Nichol
son, of the Beardstown, (111.) Illinoian,
eays : "The salmon came to hand in good
shape, whoppers ; a curiosity to all who
saw them apd a treat to all your old
friends I could think of, within reach, to
the number of eleven. Some persons
seem to (have an idea that the salmton
in the Columbia river is in keeping with
cat-fish in the Illinois river, as to size
and quality, hence it becomes quite in
teresting to them to see a native of those
waters. Some intelligent persons think
they "school" into the Columbia from
the Pacific ocean, hence are a salt
water fish. These ideas come from not
having seen them otherwise than jam-

Oregon seems very much nearer to us
than it used to be. I was talking to Dr.
Littlefield, of Portland,' .on Saturday.
He was born, and grew up here, but he
thinks there is no place like Oregon.
Thus are the remote parts -of , the earth
wonderfully brought together." .
The salmon is a fresh water fish. It
is hatched in the Coldmbia, then leaves
for the Pacific ocean, but returns to the
Columbia during spawning season, from
early spring to late fall. , It is often
found in- the Columbia and its tribu
taries hundreds of miles from the ocean.

of the San Jose scale, consequently, the
proper time to make war on ' the pests.
Every tree should be examined closely,
and, if the scale is found,, washed thor

board of horticulture, contains recipes
and information as to the manner of

;A fine article Tcfr finishing. :
Capt. Lewis, of tlje United States land
office, had a very pleasant trip to Can
yon City via. Baker City. Out of the
latter place the ..route is covered for
twenty-two miles by a very nice little
narrow gauge railway, which is quite a
feeder for the U. P. R., and in many
more ways than one contributes to the
upbuilding of Baker City. It seems to
the writer that The Dalles should have
just such improvement as that. In the
early sixties The Dalles enjoyed a very
lucrative trade with the Canyon City
regions. Then it was gold- the ground
produced. But even in gold the ground
is far from being worked out. If it
were, there are features of the soil today
more attractive than gold fields ; in the
acres of fertile land adapted to wheat
cultivation, which is t now prohibited,
because of the long, tedious and expensive-
haul by wagons. After leaving
the railway Capt.' Lewis took the stage,
and the distance intervening was cov
ered by an average
miles per hour, which he considers good,
when the mountainous condition of the
countrv is taken into the account. The
old route from The Dalles is equally as
good, all the way, as the best by "the
new route, but Baker City has got the
start of us, by her little railroad, which
is by no means as insignificant as it
seems.
Newport, R, I., June 25. When it
became known today that the gold and
silver medals, and the diplomas, award
ed at the St. Joseph schools yesterday
were the gift of G. B. Hazzard,
it caused a . profound gurprise. A
sensation was also caused when
it became known that George Babcock
Hazzard had paid the cost of the land
and palatial buildings for the Roman
Catholic parish. St. Joseph's schools
are known now as the Hazzard memor
ial schools. Hazzard came to Newport
in the '20s, a comparatively poor boy,
with practically no education, but by
close application and strict economy,
even to parsimony, he amassed an im
mense fortune. Up to a year ago he was
looked upon as an avaricious money-
grabber of very eccentric mind, always
in hot water with the owners of land ad
joining his property, and several times
he has been brofight up in police courts
for assault and other charges. ' The
school buildings' are the finest in Rhode
Island, with' splendid halls, well-iurn-ished
rooms and good acoustic : proper
ties. Until .the day of its consecration
the secret was so well kept that when
the public announcement was made that
Hazzard was the donor the people were
incredulous. .Yesterday afternoon the
first graduation exercises were held. ' On
the platform were Bishop Harkins, of
Providence, and -prominent citizens of
Newport. The bishop made an eloquent
address on reminiscences of Hazzard,
but not a word "escaped him ot the de
nouncement tofSTKw. After the diplo
mas, with gold and silver medals as the
principal prizes', had been awarded, and
all the exercises concluded, the rector,
the Rev. Father Doyle, called on his as
sistant, Father ' Downing to read the
written statement signed by George Bab
cock Hazzard,' giving a resume of his
life, winding up with the statement that
he, George Babcock Hazzard, gave the
school as a Protestant, but now bad
been received into the Roman Catholic
church, and promising to erect a build
ing suitable to the parish. This means
a new stone church. The schools eost
nearly $100,000. ' .':
. . A Short tension. ' "'
Washington-, '. June 27. rSaturdays
house proceedings lasted a minute and a
half, for want of a quorum. The short
est session on record. ' It is about the
same today, but may be better tomor
row, as many absent members have been
sent for. '. " ' '
Washington, June 27.-T-A few. days
since, some fun-loving senators managed
to get considerable sport out of the . fact
that Senator Mitchell,' of , Oregon, had
just shaved off his beard. Ever since
the senator first came to Washington as
a senator from Oregon, in 1873, he has
worn aduxuriantbeard that grew thickly
from his face and fell down well over
the front of his vest. .In all the nine
teen years or more that he has frequented
the capital no razor has ever touched his
face,' and when he turned up with it
shaved as smooth as that of a school boy
almost every man in the senate needed
an introduction to him. Senator Cul
lorn came in late, and some of his col
leagues took Senator Mitchell to him
and introduced him to the Illinois sen
a tor as a man from Nebraska, who had
been an earnest advocate of the nomina
tion of Cullom for president. Senator
Mitchell carried out the joke very well,
and the two had been talking some time
before. Senator Cullom. recognized the
man he was talking with. Vice-Presi
dent Morton was ' also a victim of the
sport, as when Mr. Mitchell arose to ad
dress the chair, he seemed very doubtful
about giving the apparent stranger recognition.
It appears that Chauncey Depcw has
has finally decided that he cannot ac
cept the portfolio of state. In spite of
his important business interests there is
no doubt that the position tempts even
a great railroad president. It is an
honor second only to that of being presi
dent of the united States. In one re
spect it is even greater, for, as Depew
himself says, we have never had a
"chump" for secretary of state. The
whole line, beginning with Alexander
Hamilton and ending with James G,
Blaine, is more illustrious than the line
of chief executives. Mere financial
sacrifice can hardly weigh with such a
man as Depew against an honor so great
as to occupy a place in this line. But it
is perhaps not wholly his own personal
interests which Depew had to consult in
this case. The possibility of throwing
off responsibilities entrusted to him by
others had to be considered. There is
no other American who would better
grace the position.
Kittitas Petrifactions.
Ellensburg Localizer. Mr. John A.
Shoudy called our attention to a block of
palm leaves petrified, the like of which
has never been seen in this country be
fore. They are of a graish blue color
and are crossed. The piece of rock is
about three inches thick and . is com
posed of distinct layers crossed. The
bottom is of the same formation as the
top. The piece of rock came from about
20 feet under ground. It indicates that
thiB was once a great deal more tropical
climate than it is at this time. This
traveling of five coupled with the finding of bones if the
mastodon, argues that this country has
undergone a great change from what it
was when those animals inhabited it.
This curiosity was found in the Tweet
quartz claim on the Swauk.
