THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1892. :t THIRD AND LAST DAY. Mtors And Misher s Preparins For Spotane TonisHt. THE TRIP TO CELILO YESTERDAY. The Run of Salmon Falling off so Fast as to be of Little Interest OFFICERS CHOSEN FOR NEXT TERM. The Keceptlon And Speeches Last Night Address of Welcome by Mayor Mays ete. The Dali.es, Oct. 6. This will be the third and . last day of the Oregon Press Association's fifth annual conven tion. The afternoon yesterday was ?pent in visiting Celilo falls, and in con sequence of a delayed train the excursion did not return to The Dalles until C :30 p. m. This put a damper on any further proceedings. The Dalles City Brass Band headed the procession for the Court house at 7 :30 p. m. A very large and intelligent audience had congregated .and after music by the band, President Noltner called the meeting to order, when Hon. Robt. Mays, mayor of The Dalles, welcomed the association in the .following well chosen words : Gentlemen of the Oregon Pre Aotia.' tion: It is with pleasure that we greet you this evening. It is always pleasant to meet - gentlemen of intelligence ana prominence: and especially so when They hail from the many different local ities of the state in whicti we an leel so much interest. But ,you, gentlemen, the scribes of the different cities and towns of our state, we take the greatest pleasure in meeting and welcoming to our citv. Our people very highly in deed appreciate this opportunity of meeting so manv of the sages of this commonwealth, upon whom we depend so much for the future welfare and prosperity, not only of Oregon onr first love but of the great Pacific Northwest in general. Your services in the past, for which we cannot be too grateful, are a part of the history of this country, wnen 1 reached this place in September, 1852, after a six-months journey across the plains, and for several years afterwards, Hlmost all the territory west of the Rocky mountains and north of Califor nia was included in what was then Oregon Territory. Think of being in Oregon upon reaching the west slope of the Rockies! Out of this territory manv grand states have since been .carved, leaving still our Oregon grander than all. The whole population of Oregon Ter ritory in . 1852, including the large immigration of that year, was lees than 15,000 people, and they were scat tered from Puget sound on'the north to Jacksonville on the south. Portland was then a village of about 300 people. Oregon City was the capital of the ter ritory. Salem was a mere embryo village, while Albany and Corvallis, the latter then called Marysville, were very small trading stations, and Eugene city was yet unthought of. All this great country east of the Cascade mountains, and on to the Missouri river was without a score of permanent white settlers. It is very pleassnt indeed to those of us who have witnessed the great changes and the rapid advance ment that has been made in this country to think that while pluck and persever ance have been important factors in . bringing about these changes, manual labor has been greatly guided and as sisted by printers' ink. With the meager population of 40 years ago, we found " but the weekly Uregonian at rortiana, edited by r. J. Dryer, and the Oregon Statesman at Salem by Asabel Bush. These were each little weekly issues, but full of that pluck and energy which bespoke their long lives of great usefulness. The nearest of these papers would fre quently not reach this place until many weeks afjer its publication. The Oregon Spectator, published at Oregon City, was the pioneer paper, but had ceased pub lication shortly before. As population increased and towns sprang into exist ence, the establishment of other good newspapers followed, till now I have no knowledge of how many hundreds there are in what was then Oregon Territory. We feel proud today ot our facilities for impartinginformation. The press is en titled to much more credit than it gets, for the prosperity that we are so proud of. The editor is like the beacon light on the outer wall ; he is ever peering into things unknown and sounding the notes of warning and good cheer as he leads the mighty throng. Gentlemen of the association, we are , pleased to see you meet in brotherly conference; we know that you will pro fit by such meeting, and that you will be better able to perform your duties as instructors. You are not only the in-; structors of the people, but largely the regulators of the communities in which you live. Your responsibility is very con siderable and your duties are arduous. Be careful that whatever you may ad- ' vocate or encourage shall tend to elevate the people both morally and intellect ually. Of course there are many vexed questions to be discussed, and after all is said and done differences of opinion will still exist, but in such dis cussions be fair with your oppo nent, and honest with yourself. No public instructor can afford to stoop be low the dignity of ' a gentleman and reasonably expect to be sustained in his course. Our committee thought the cascades of the Columbia that great barrier to the progress of the Inland Empire an exceedingly fit place to meet you. We hope .your visit there may have given you additional information, and further cause to aid us in securing an open To uh and all of von. I now, in be half of our citizens, extend the freedom of our city. I regret that the late fire, which swept away over half the town makes us unable to entertain you as we wonld wish ; but we trust your meeting may be none the less pleasant ana pene- fiiiai nrt rhar. wnen vou nave kwuo, may be to ever retain'pleasant recollec tions of our town and people. Mayor Mays' address was followed by a response from President Noltner, filled to the brim with sentiment ex pressive of appreciation, and pledges on the part of the association that united action will be made' to shake off the fetters that bind the Inland Empire and grind its energies to palpable dust under the oppressive heel of a soulless corpor- ation. The speaker pictured a glorious future for the great Inland Empire when the noble Columbia shall be an open rivr. In response to the welcome of mayor May's, Mr. Noltner said : Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen: On behalf of the members of the Ore gon Press Association, permit me to thank you, and through you, the people of The Dalles for their cordial, hearty and hospitable reception. To those un familiar with the people of our state, this reception may be somewhat of a surprise, but to those whe are acquainted with their character and open hearted ness it is not astonishing. It is simply natural for the people of Oregon to be the most hospitable in the Union. That the citizens of The Dalles know how to capture the good opinions of the Oregon editor, was demonstrated at the very threshold, and fair ladies were brought into requisition and the session inaugurated with a mostsumptu ons lunch which was set before them on tables most handsomely decorated, and the committee on reception had pre viously arranged a most delightful ride up the Columbia on the beautiful steamer Regulator, and on our arrival here, we found that everything for our comfort and entertainment had been ar ranged. I am especially gratified that the Or egon Press association selected your city for it annual meeting at this time, and I may be pardoned for using in reply, a portion of what was intended to be in corporated in my annual address to the members of our association. But the subject is one of interest to you and the great Inland Empire, therefore I re served this part of my address for this occasion. . Again thanking you, Mr. Mayor, on behalf of the association, and hoping that the people of this city may realize their just reward for their hospitality and courtesy, and that yonr fair city, which has been able to maintain its progress and advancement under many adverse and discouraging circumstances, may continue to prosper, and ever re main one of Oregon's brightest and most prosperous cities. Following the address of President Noltner, Col. Pat Donan was introduced, and in his happy manner convulsed the audience for a full hour on the subject of "Country Journalism." His conclud ing words were a tribute to the possible greatness of the empire west of the Rocky mountains, and should be spread upon the minutes' and published with the. proceedings. At the conclusion of Col. Donan's ad dress, Col. J. I. i.ddy, from the com mittee on resolutions, offered a series of resolutions expressing the thanks of the association for the hospitable reception at Cascade Locks and subsequent enter tainment, which were adopted unani mously. He next offered a set of resolutions concerning the Inland Empire, and an open Columbia river. On motion to adopt, Col. Eddy took the floor, and made the speech of the evening. He urged our fellow brothers of the valley to read up on the subject, and realize the work before us as co- laborers for the good of the whole state. And juding from the enthusiasm with which his words were received, they will be productive of very much good. The convention then adjourned until 9 a. in. today. An Alaska Volcano in Eruption. Washington, Oct, 5. In a letter to the navy department from Ounalaska September 42th, Commander Evans, of the United States ship York town, states the Newvoy Volient, a vol cano, erupted on the Alaska peninsula about latitude 56 deg. north, longitude 146 deg. 20 min. west. The noise of the eruption, which took place during the last week of August, was heard 90 miles. The clouds of ashes and cin ders were so dense at a distance of 150 miles at sea that the steamer St Paul was compelled to light her lights at ten in the morning. The decks were cov ered with ashes to such an extent that many bucketfulsful were swept up and thrown overboard. No "loss of life or property from the explosion was heard of at the date of Evans' letter. THK DELINQUENT LIST. A Few Contributions That Didn't Get In Before the Forms Were Locked , . Up Yesterday. No wonder the newspapers of The Dalles are spicy and interesting. A brighter or more intelligent lot of ladies are seldom found in any. occupation than the fair ones employed on The Chronicle. Kaiser. E. J. took this thought from Col. Bob Miller. The Dalles has . some fine Indian curios, but the greatest is the style of advertising here done on the side walks. Harding.

" ' THE SALMON IS GOING f Hat Ceimssioner Stone Says - tiye to tie Subject. Rela- THE McCLOUD STATION FAILING. Will be a Thing of the Past if Action is Not Taken Very Soon. WILL BE FISHED OUT COMPLETELY Conditions in all the the Sacramento are the Same. Tributaries Practically of San Fbancisco, Oct. 5. United States Commissioner Livingstone Stone ar rived in this city last evening from the government hatchery" on the McCloud river in Shasta county. He arrived at the McCloud station from Washington six weeks ago, and since then he has been engaged in snaking a thorough examination of the fish interests in that locality. "If the government," says he, does not take some action very soon, salmon will be a thing of the past in the Sacramento river. When I was at Mc Cloud river station fifteen years ago, we used to get 15,000,000 eggs out of the hatchery, while now it is hard to get 8,000,000. ' I fished up there during my recent stay, and caught very few salmon, while years ago thousands were caught in the nets. In all the tributaries of the Sacramento the conditions are the same, and there is odIv one way to prevent the waters of California being fished out as completely as the Hudson and other rivers on the Atlantic side, and that is to make the close season commence about August 1st of each year, instead of September 1st. A Sow In the Board. Chicago, Oct. 5. The American board of commissioners for the foreign miesions of the general Congregational mission ary body reassembled this morning, This board is self-constituting and self perpetuating. At present it is composed of two elements liberal and conserve tive ; these have many points of differ ence. One of these differences having to do with the body itself came up this morning. The liberals believe that the churches which furnish all the funds should have a representation. This matter came up in a paper by Di.' E. K Alden, defending the conservative pol icy. It was moved the paper be referred to a? special committee to report next year. In behalf of the liberals a substi tute was proposed to refer it to the bus iness committee with instructions tore- port at this session. The conservatives carried the day, defeating the substitute by a vote of twenty-nine to forty-two. The conservatives finally consented to refer to a committee to report as soon as possible. The conservatives have the appointment of the committee. LOST BIS VIE. A Runaway in Columbia Caused by a A'le No Bones Broken. Special to The Chronicle. Columbia Precinct, Oct. 3. A pecul iar runaway and what might have been a dreadful accident, occurred this after noon at the Wilder ranch, where Rev. I. J. Powell was threshing for the Wilder Bros. And while all are thankful that no lives were lost, they can enjoy the comical part of the affair. The elder by his quiet and gentlemanly manners wins the respect of all. So the ladies kindly sent him a pie to wile away a few lonely moments on the horse power, where he plies the black snake to the twelve sleepy horses trying to keep the other men busy. Dell Wilder carried the pie, and kind hearted as he always is, volun teered to drive while the elder ate. Everything went well for a while re gardless of the jealous glances and wounded feelings of the other, men. But suddenly the tumbling shaft broke loose and the horses started faster than was safe or pleasant for Dell and the elder. But they kept their position un til some of the horses went down when thev made their escape. No one hurt except the elder, he says his feelings are badly hurt, because ne lost nan ms pie. LiEN.

What The Tourist on a Wheel Has to SO Through With In Drinking. From The Telegram. Frank G. Lenz, has come and gone bat in the few days he sojourned in Portland he made many friends by his pleasing, nnostentatious manners and jovial, good-natured wavs. Mr. Lenz in completing his journey across the con tinent, full mention of which was made in Saturday's Telegram, has made a trip which many men think they would like to accomplish, buffew, when put to the best, carry, out such, perilous undertak ings. "It requires an indomitable will a constitution of steel and a cast-iron stomach," remarked the noted bicvclist, in conversation with a Telegram repor ter. "I think that the terrible strain which is being made on my constitution by this trip will lessen my life fully ten years. To sum up my experience in a nutshell and my opinion in regard to it, I would refuse an offer of $5,000 not to make the trip, but I wouldn't do it over again for $50,000. The injury to a man's constitution is through his stomach, and this by the water he drinks. One day I am drinking hard water ; another soft; now alkali ; then saline ; sulpherous and brackish water is a common occurrence. 10 onset me enects ot tnis poisonous fluid I must use ginger in all that drink. Imagine the condition of one's stomach after going through this ordeal for over a year." THE WESTERN PBAIlilES. . "Speaking of that part of the country, it is about as uninteresting for a traveler as well could be. For miles and miles the road led along the dusty prairie, threading Jts way over the level plains which in turn merged into rolling foot hills. It was the same dull, monoton ous aspect, day in and day out, and oh, I became so wearied Of it. Looking backward the two double wagon tracks could be seen coming out of the eastern horizon where the blue sky touched the dull earth, and leading on in front of you till it went into the western horizon For days and days only the short closely cropped green grass carpeted the soil to the east, to the west, to the north, to the south. Not a tree or a shrub inter rupted the view as far as the eye could see. Further on, where there appar ently had been more moisture in the climate, the brown, dust color of this carpet changed to a dark green, but the same dreary expansive waste was al ways in view. I except the villages which now and then I passed, but they little altered the scene, and seemed dropped ont of the clouds in this cheer less country, and often were as dull, as dusty, as uninteresting as tbe prairie waste snrrounaing tnem." Remember the county fair next week. Old Nursery Favorites. There was Tom, the Son of the Piper, Jack Sprat, snd Merry King Cole, And the Three Wise Men of Gotham, Who went to seu in a bowl; The woman who rodo on a broomstick, And swept thecobwebbed sky. And the boy who sat in the corner. Eating his Christmas pie. These were some of the old favorites, but they hiive been supplanted by. the "Pansy" and "Chatterbox" stories, "Little Lord Fauntleroy," and "Five Little Peppers." The old fashioned pills and physics have been superseded, and wisely, too, by Pierce's Purgative Pellets, a mild, harmless and effective cathartic. They are pleasant to take so gentle in their action that the most delicate child can take them, yet so ef fective that they will cure the most ob stinate cases of constipation, stomach, liver and bowel troubles. They should be in every nursery. As a gentle laxa tive, only one for a dose. -iso Worn-out, "run-down," feeble women, need Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It builds them up.
