The proposition to have Uncle Sam keep Mt. Hood for his own has been talked over a great deal and congress will probably' be memorialized this win ter to take necessary legislative action to this end. The attractions are varied and will, in a few years, draw a great deal of tourist travel. AV. J. Spillman one of the climbers this year, found upon the summit where some irrever ent but witty mountaineer, inspired by the magnificence of the empire lying outstretched at his feet, had written in the record box: If Moses had stood upon Mount Hood And looked around a minute, ' He would undoubtedly have said, "Mount Pisgah Isn't In it." From the Daily Chronicle Saturday. Eph. S. dinger, the Clond Cap Inn jehu, is in the city today Mr. and Mrs. O. C.

Young, near Bake Oven. Justice Schutz is hearing a case of as sault and battery this afternoon which is attracting considerable attention.

German Evangelical Lutheran eer - vices will be held in the Ninth street chapel at 10 :30 a. in. Sunday. Sunday . school at 9 :30. A. Horn, pastor. Mr. and Mrs. Charles E.

Stafford, wife and son, of Cleveland, Ohio, are surveying The Dalles situation with a view to invest ments by themselves and friends. Surveyer General Byars, of Oregon, has funds on hand now f or Eastern Oregon. People interested should avail themselves of this opportunity for pub Jic eurveys. The Columbia sloughs are filled with large carp from Snipes' lake. The ponds are full of them, and as the water foes down boys gather the fish by bas ets full. A 'Chinaman will eat them. That leaning pole of the electric light company, corner of Union and Second streets no longer stands to remind one of the famous leaning tower. It has been dug up and a new one put in its place. Dr. Saunders has his dental office and operating rooms supplied with all the Hiodern appliances of the art. He has . -now Bitrousoide gas, sometimes called vitalized air, for the painless extraction of teeth. On account of an inspection of the steamer Dalles City there will be no through trips between Portland and Th ttaiies tomG.TC". The steamer j Regulator will make her regular round to Cascade Locks however. The forest fires last week burned over a vast territory in the Cascade moun tains, leaving the timber very much in the condition it was left by the big burn many years ago, still memorable in the minds of the early Oregon pioneers. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver of Portland, got a bad scare in I he Dalles They thought they were left when the pas senger pulled np to let the work train in to the side-track, and Mrs. Oliver ran herself nearly into a spell of heart failure. Travelers' lack of thought is something beyond comprehension some' timeB. Dr. Saunders' little two and a-half year old girl wandered away from the residence to find papa a few days since, anu wnen recovered was a long ways from home. During the search for her there was much consternation, and it would be difficult to tell which was the bappiest, papa or the child, when she was found. Day before yesterday Patterson start ed onhis drive without apound of freight or a single passenger. Something un heard of before. He said it was even up on the trip before, however, when he had several . married passengers. He had a good load out today, but no pas sengers. Travel is light both by stage and rail. M. C. Shaw, the engineer who was killed by a cable car in Sau Francisco' recently, was well known in The Dalles. His remaans were brought to Walla Walla for interment. He was engaged to be married to Miss Lillie Cantrowlth .of San Francisco, and the marriage was to have been consummated shortly. His parents and two sisters reside some where in New York. People who sometimes wonder why their letters miscarry, often have cause to be thankful at the perfect service of the United States Postal system, but . they do not always assert their appre- ciation half as vigorously as they do their kicking. Deputy Chittenden of The Dalles P. O., has a letter today - in which was inclosed a check on a local bank for $30. The letter was not ad- - dressed, and of course went to the dead letter office. Now the writer will get it, and find out at the same time why the Other man did not get it. Capt. and Mrs. Lewis, Miss Lewis and a lady friend, visited Celilo today. Justice Schutz dismissed the case on trial before him yesterday afternoon. S. T.. Patterson, and Mr. Davis of Wnninitia. were in the city on business yesterday. Mr. Kellar of the Washington street bakery, has established a marriage bureau in the city. .. . Roger Sinnott will leave for Notre Dame. Iud., tomorrow night, to resume his classes in college. Miss Annie and Rowena Laswell, of Spanish gulch, Grant county, are visit ing the Misses Joles, in this city. The Baker city delegation to the Sov ereign Grand lodge filled two cars last evening, and they went through wiin colors flying. The breeze this morning was worth a big lot of money to growing crops. Air is a fertilizer in the Inland Empire when it comes up the river. - Bert O'Leary and Bert Phelps are going to Ann Arbor. The latter to take a course of law study and the former a course of study in medicine. The Troutdale Champion, under the management of Fred C. Baker, late of the Leader, has been transmogrified into a neat, newsy, readable sheet. All arrangements have been perfected for the dedication of the new M. E. church tomorrow evening. The public generally are cordially invited to attend. Editor Hosford of the Observer practices law occasionally, like Bro. Cradlebaugh of the Glacier ; just to re lieve the monotony of pencil shoving, lie has a case in the next Wasco circuit court. If Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Brooks' cheerful and hospitable home on Third street has heretofore been considered cosey, it is very much more so now since the late improvements which add greatly to the comfort and convenience of the interior. Speaking of a box factory in The Dalles, Mr. J. H. Taffe says his boxes came from Grants pass, Southern Ore gon, and he never saw a man connected with he manufacture of them. The Dalles could ship boxes to Grants pass to If you stub your toe on one of the in numerable nails whiqh rear their stub born heads above our side-walks, look the next moment to be landed where one will be prodding youin the forehead. These convenient arrangements are causing many of us to follow the blind horse fashion. Ladies who appear have a desire to assist the street clean ing department, however, are the great est sufferers. From the Daily Chronicle, Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Buckley are in the city staying at the European house. Miss Cassie Wiley is in Monmouth and will remain for eome time. Be prepared to properly receive the Press Convention collection committee tomorrow. Mr. Marden and Judee Liebe were passengers by the Regulator this morn ing for Portland. Eight head of wild cattle broke away from a band this nlorning which were being shipped to the Cascadee. One of the best-appearing rigs that comes into The Dalles daily with fruits for shipment is driven by Mr. Cushing. Weather forecasts today from San Francisco indicate light showers follow ed by fair weather and slightly warmer, Winterton Curtis and Victor Marden left the city this morning for Forest Grove, where they will attend school during the winter. he Entertainment Committee of the Press Association will meet at the resi dence of Mr. S. L. Brooks at 7:30 to morrow evening. Rates on fruit, melons and green vegetables by the Regulator line, from The Dalles to Portland is but thirty cents p.-r 100 pounds. See ad. Three youngsters of The Dalles gave their parents much concern yesterday by taking French leave. They an nounced their departure for .Mexico. Miss Virginia Marden was a passen ger for Portland this morning, where she goes to attend the wedding of her friend, Miss Jessie Kinsey, formerly of this citv. equally as ' J. H. Blakeny. the city expressman, had a contest with a kicker in his stable on Wednesday. The bronco fortunately wore no shoes, else the outcome might have been worse for James. As it was he has been laid off since, and only ap pears on the streets now in a limp way. Caroline is greatly disturbed today because a squaw died owing a gentleman $20. She sit on the sidewalk in front of The Chronicle office detailing her grievances at a 60-mile per hour gait to another Indian woman, and when asked why she didn't go home and let the man do the grieving, became quite in dignant. Hon. Henry H. Giifrey, reading clerk of the United States senate, is now visiting Salem. His family are in Vir ginia. Mr. Giifrey has retained his position in the United States senate over twelve years, a fact that speaks for his great popularity. He will probably soon be in The Dalles, to visit his many friends here. Forecasts of The Dalles weather re ported daily by telegraph, under the auspices of the government weather bu reau, commenced yesterday. This is a matter of considerable importance in the collating of reliable data, and the bureau will soon find out what has been deficient for want of such data as The Dalles can furnish. Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy start out today for their drive through the Inland Em pire- well fitted tor comtorc. a nice buggy team was purchased yesterday from a farmer in Klickitat, who drove them into the city in the lead of a 6-horse wheat team. Farley & Frank fitted them with a neat, new harness, and a stylish vehicle came from Port land by the Regulator. ; The Record informs us that Mr. A. A. Jayne left Arlington Thursday night for The Dalles, where he will rerjn for medical treatment. Tt condition of his wound is rapidly improving. An advertisement for proposals for fresh vegetables for commissary at Van couver barracks, 'has taken the place of Maj. Hanbury's advertisement in the Oregonian for proposals for completion of the Cascade canal and locks. Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Stevens have re turned to their home in The Dalles after a six-weeks sojourn with their sons in Gilliam county. Mr. Stevens is not much improved, had to be carried on a bed all the way on his return. The dedication services at the new M. E. church yesterday were largely at tended, both morning and evening, and were interesting. The sum of $1,500 was donated toward raising the church debt, which now leaves but about $1,500 to raise. ' During the exposition at Portland, the Extensive preparations are under way for the observance of Columbus day, October 21st. Arrangements are being made for all of the school children in the county to take part in the celebration, the distinctive features of which will be a parade, raising and saluting the Am erican flag, a Columbus ode, and liter ary sessions. The celebration is being entered into with much spirit, and bids fair to be a memorable occasion in the schools of Wasco county. THIS EIGHT UOI K LAW. Famlly Reunion. A pleasant reunion was heid at Stev ens Bros. Poplar Farm, thirteen miles southeast of Condon, in Gilliam county, on Sunday the 11th inst., when the entire Stevens family and a few favored guests gathered around a table heavily laden with the good things of this life ana enjoyed it to its fullest extent, The day was spent in social intercourse and the evening with music. All claimed a very enjoyable time and wish for many more such events. Among those present were : Father and mother Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Stevens of " The Dalles, Charles B. and Frank B. Stevens of Condon, A. C. Stevens and wife and thiee boys, Bennie, Cassie and Guy, of Santa Rosa, Cal., Mrs. -A. Murphy of Calistoga, Cal., .and Miss L.

D. tr. f-o. will make a rate of Twenty-eight years ago next Tuesday Sheridan whipped Early at Winchester in a hot contest of arms in deadly con flict on the field of carnage in the at tempt of each to lead brother against brother in determining the right by might. Thousands of the good men in that storm of death live in fraternity now to record the deeds of valor on that field. Tw.o of them in The Dalles were "talking it over" today. $3 for the round trip, including admis sion to the exposition. Tickets on sale at the ticket office in The Dalles, or of the purser on board the Regulator. Children half fare. W. C. Allan-ay, gen eral agent. On our trip to the cascades yesterday by steamer Regulator we bad a fine chance to chat with Mr. Stafford, of Cleveland, Ohio. He fully believes that the people of the cast have awakened to the fact that there are more possibilities of success in what we call here the In land Empire than in any other state in the northwest, and with thta is coupled an interest in the resources of the state which is agreeable to one who has lived hero. It is said that five drops of hydro chloric acid in half a cup of warm or hot tea is a sure preventive against cholera. This is Sir Edwin Arnold's great remedy. And also an injection of tannin, salt and hot or warm water, The first symptom is a slight diarrhea, with flying pains, and that is the time to take the acid. This we learn from the published advices of Sir Edwin, who says that it is not half so dangerous as other diseases, if taken in time. But the trouble is that people neglect the first warninga and then become too friebtened to helD themselves. Tliera is no need of any alarm, and it is worse than useless. While the publishers of some maga zines in this country and Europe make offeis and present to their readers gift pictures which may, or may not, be works of art, the Godey Publishing Co., of 21 Park Row, New York, announce that they will present to each purchaser of Godey's Magazine, published in its new form, for October, with au art sub ject which is worthy of its name, and which is so beautiful, in conception, drawing and coloring that the picture will be in great demand by all art lov ers.. The subject is known as Godey's Idea of the Worlds Fair, and the artist, W. Granville Smith, is widely known as one of America's most promising and talented coloriste. The publishers wish it understood that, in addition to the magnificent October number, retail ing for twenty-five cents, this beautiful picture, size 7x29 inches, will be given free as a supplement. No one man can know it all," and as the time is very rapidly approaching for the fourth annual exhibition of the second Castern Oregon district agricul tural society, which is to open in The Dalles on the 11th proximo, and con tinue five days, possibly the following comments on the state fair, just closed balem, may be suggestive and op portune: A Journal reporter , has been around among the immense crowds of people in attendance at the fair during the past six days, quite a good deal, and. just for the curiosity of the thing he jotted down several suggestions and eome of the com ments made by a number in attendance. After summing the whole grist up the concTusions urr!ved at are about as fol lows : . 1. The exhibits in the pavilion are the largest and most attractive ever shown to the eyes of the multitudes at tending the state fairs. 2. The majority of people go to the fair to see the trials of speed, and the time has come when larger purses should he hung up in order to encour age the entering of more fleet-footed horses bothrunning and trotting, and at the same time the premiums in the other departments should be made larger, especially in the stock line. '3. Were a regulation track with quar ter stretches and a more level surface made, the time made by the horses would be greatly decreased. 4. That a pew grand stand facing the north should be erected and that it should be of modern architecture ; also that the judges' stand should be rebuilt having the upper room for judges and the lower for the timers and reporters MnAi4ara ftTlt- o. lhere should be um trwciai timers appointed and no horseman al lowed to be in their section during the race meeting. 6. That the running dashes should be sandwitched in between the heats of a trotting race where there aro at least four heats to be trotted. 7. That the managers of the fair should try to secure the best band for the exhibition of 1883. Music would be a drawing card for au immense crowd. 8. There should be a strict rule against permitting anyone on the race track other than those actually needed to attend the horses. Beauties of Educating; the World to The One Idea of a Crank. It seems that the confusion arising from the annual inspection of The Dalles j City today was occasioned by the late j act of congress providing for the 8-hour law. Heretofore Messrs. McDermott and .cowards, the United states inspectors for Oregon, have been wishing to accom mooate masters and owners by inspect ing a craft at any time, after hours or on Sunday if necessary, so as not to inter- 'ferewith traffic. But the late law is positive and peremptory. In its opera tions the "government employo by its terms is the autocrat and the aristocrat. He shall not do any over-time work, and is prohibited from Sunday, accommoda tions. If a boat comes in for inspection at d p. in. on any day, and the boiler is blown off, before it cools the hour is up and ehe must lie there until'the next day after 8 o'clock a. m. before any thing can be done, just to accomodate a crank wlio pushed the bill through con gress, and it may be the cause of a loss to the community of thousands of dol lars in perishable goods awaiting ship ment, may detain hundreds of people, and embarass business in humeroris ways. The sooner the obnoxious fea tures ot such a law are made apparent, the sooner it will be wiped from the statutes. The Regulatorand Dalles City must make a special trip tomorrow, the portage railroad must run, and fifty em ployes work a whole day along the entire line just because two obliging gentlemen in Portland are prohibited by law from future acts of accommodation. Some men are fools enough to think that they are capable of educating the world to their own one idea methods of life, and the author of this 8-hour law is one of them. A Victory for Capt.

Campbell, Geo. R. Camp bell, and Homer Angell, returned from a pretty tough surveying expedition yes terday. Ae United States deputy Mr. Campbell was sent out to run the ex terior of two townships, 9 s. and 5 and 6 E. At one time his work was threat ened by forest fires on Brightenbush, but they burned so slow that but little detention was experienced. The set tlers all left their homes in that region fearing that the fires here were a repsti tion of the terrible forest fires in Michi gan, and other portions of the east. In some cases they lost their houses, but if they had remained at home they might have saved everything. After four days' hard labor, Capt. C. . Phillips yesterday succeeded in sav ing the sunken flout Marie Main, with the Davis fish wheel attachment. The float was sunk at Grand Dalles, and af ter being practically recovered, took a ehoot across the Columbia, etriking the Oregon shore above The Dalles, the wheel lodgirig on rocks and the bow pfojecting over deep water partly sub merged. It required considerable inge nuity on the part of Capt. Phillips, without the aid of wrecking appliances, to bring, the craft ip, but he did it suc cessfully, and will now take a iT off to rest on his laurels and recuperate. With this intention, accompanied by Mrs. Fhillips, he will visit the consoli dated city, and take in the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, the indus trial exposition, and the city, and sub urban railway the three attractive fea tures of the Oregon Metropolis, next week. Work at Grand Dalles. A gang of meu have been at work for several days past at Grand Dalles, pre paring the foundation for a box factory, machinery for which has been pur chased in Portland. The building will be 64x90 feet in size, the engine 60-horse power. Five carpenters are at work on the building today. ' The flowing well unearthed just above the site of this faiitbry, and just below the tite of the glass factory, has sufficient power to supply both factories. The brick for the glass factory will commence to ar rive TtvZl week. In connection with these reports it is said Panr"?,ir his let the contract for delivering seven miles of railway iron at the basin below the dalles of the Columbia. Office in r THE DALLES S.
