Mr. Joslyn and Bingo took a short jaunt in the direction of the slough, and returned with several of the webfooted fowl. U. K.

The crim inal case of cattle stealing was tried and the defendant acquitted. No. 1 was four hours late this morning The usual stoical silence of the railroad officials being kept, it is presumed that the late rain was the cause. The editorial coach bound for Spokane was profusely decorated. Either side of the coach was covered with large letters. "Oregon Press Association. The remains of a child of Rev. Mr, McBride, whicfhwas buried atPrineville several years ago, has been exhumed and removed to Albany for interment. Mr. G. R.

The Weather Bureau predicted fair weather followed by showers, yesterday and this morning the gent'e patter of of the rain was refreshing to this section being the first to mention "since earlv in the summer. ine terry Doat was crowded at an early hour this morning with teams seeking advantage of home market for produce of the late harvest. The Dalles is still the "hub" of the several adjacent counties. The Dalles contingent in the exposi tion city has been increased by the ad dition of Frank Huott, Alex. Hougnine Chas. Sanders, Al Betingen and wife Jesse Crandall and wife, and others, ' who go to visit the exposition. Several large bands of ducks and a few geese were seen in their undulating flight hovering over the river, all uncons cious of the watchful eye and unerring aim of that celebrated nimrod Chas. Hall. Charlie will have ducks for sup per. ine editors of the Press association bid us adieu last eve. A large number of them going via Spokane and the Sound cities, - the others westbound to their homes carrying with them pleasant memories of the Inland Empire metrop olis and its citizens. There is an impression that all entries for exhibits at our district fair is closed. .this is a mistake. It only applies to the turf. .Our farmers should not forget , to bring in their samples of products. It makes no difference what they are, bring them along and show what you are doing for yourselves and country." The 15-year-old son of I. J. Norman, superintendent of water works, while out playing football yesterday, had a head-end collision with another boy, resulting in a fracture of his collar bone. Dr. Logan was called immedi ately, who reduced the fracture, and the youngster i in a comfortable con dition. The entertainment committee gave the editors a drive into the fruit regions yesterday afternoon. Which was an en joyable affair. Mr. Moses with his wagonette took out 18 of them. Mr. Hood sent out one three seated and one double seated carriage carrying twelve men besides D. M. French, N. Whealdon and Judge I,iebe with their carriages accompanied the party, those who visited the Wm. Taylor and D. Crieghton fruit- eries were delighted with what they saw,, in fruits grapes, etc. These orchardists are located on our high hill lands, and their production of grapes, peaches, plums, prunes, apples and melons to gether with other vegetables was a mar vel to our guests. Those that visited the Mill Creek section was as royaly pleased as those who saw the three mile region. The People's party balloon was struck by a cyclone the other day in Georgia and was swept clean off from its founda tion, and so completely destroyed that only a few shreds are discovered. It was the Democrats that did the business. General Weaver is badly frightened, to gether with the damage he has sustained, his loss is irreparable. The members of the Oregon Editorial aaewinrinn took the midnight train for- Spokane, where they expect to meet their Washington brothers, who are holding conclave at Spokane. The citi zens of The Dalles are loath to part with the jovial and genial disciples of the pen and shears. But they do not begrudge the citizens of Spokane the pleasure they are 6ure to enjoy when they meet the jolly moulders of opinion. From the Daily Chronicle Saturday. Our free ferry does the business for The Dalles. -' Rufu9 Patterson was a passenger by steamer Regulator today to Portland. Weather forecasts are fair, followed by light rains and warmer temperature. Fresh ovsters in bulk, and served in any style at the Columbia Candy Factory The finest line of French and home made candv ever in this city at Colum bia factory.

R. Thompson. Peterson. Gault and Hibbert will meet in Portland January 2nd, to make anew constitution and by-laws for the Press Association.' Summer resort bills handsomely framed will be among the fashionable winter ornaments in homes of wealth and refinement. The autumnal tints of the gorgeously hued foliage of an Oregon woodland makes the eye of the tourist blaze with jealous admiration, about Ciarnie. The last act of the Oregon Press Asso ciation at The Dalles was to vote the secretary a salary of $.30 per annum. None too much for the work performed. Geo. H. Himes has been appointed Historian for the Oregon Press Associa tion. George would make a good his torian for Oregon, as it was in the days of '49. Deputy United States Marshal Jame son took his hobos to Portland yesterday to stand trial on charge of selling or pro curing liquors for Indians. He will pull the joint next. There was just enough rain this morn ing to make the cinders stick to the door knobs on the passenger coaches. By this means the cinders were widely smeared abroad in the city. The appearance of the West Side under the editorial control of Mr. E. C. Pent land, confirms The Chronicle's predic tion. It is now the best local journal in the Willamette Vallev. A sample of barley produced on the dry hills by Hon. R. H. Darnille was left at this office today. It threshed sixtv bushels to the acre, and the straw averaged four feet in bight. The receipt of wheat in the city yester day, from both sides of the river, was very large and sold at an advance of the day before sales. Buyers are paying 63 cents for A 1 wheat, No. 2, 60 cents. The TJ. P. R. working force below The Dalles have done an immense work this season, ne construction trains are still at work putting from 150 to 200 carloads per day of shell rock into the gaps here tofore bridged. Mr. C. L. Phillips has nearly lost his identity in the business circles of The Dalles, but to see him flying around the corner of Alder and Third in the Consol idated City, one must readily concede that he has found it in Portland. Mr. Houghton has left at this office a seedling Salway peach which grew on a tree in his residence lot on Court St., and measures inches in circumference. It is firm, juicy and highly flavored, with a beautiful appearance. Miss Rose Michell, of The Chronicle, and Miss Sula and Nona Ruch, accom panied by friends, are visiting Spokane and the sound with the Oregon Press Association, guests of the association of our sister state of Washington. The Columbia river, like Emil Schan- no's fig trees,' is on its second raise, this season. One reason assigned for the rise is that Duke Taffe has caught all the salmon that gorged the river at Celio and the raise occasioned above is just now running off. . A Florida silver half dollar of 1760 is worth $10, while the Virginia silver half dollar of .1773 is valued at $2. The pewter continental dollar of 1776 is worth $3. Sam Campbell says the in trinsic value of the latest American half dollar is 35 cents. ' The Dalles is represented largely in Portland today. Among those who went down yesterday were Mr. A. Bettenger jr. and his sister Mrs. T. Baldwin y Mi. and Mrs. Whealdon, Mrs. C-J. Crandall, Mr. W. C. RuDert. B. A. Benedict, and about a dozen others. . The steam combined harvester which has been employed in Umatilla county during the present season will be used in plovring this fall.

He has also the contract for Charley Logus; 85,000 corner in Portland, and expects to get the contract ior r. .Brown s $100,000 corner, on Hawthorn avenue. He lias an excellent opinion of The Dalles. It was the intention of the Oregon Press Association to pass a set of resolu tions Wednesday, congratulating Maj, Magone on his successful trip to Chi cago, but in the confusion incident to the delay at Celilo, the matter waa over looked. The Oregon Press regard Maj- Magone very highly. Now that the Oregon editors have seen for themselves what ought to be done and what can be done by the state in the wav of opening the Columbia river to an uninterrupted commerce, we hope to see them make a manifestation of the power of the press by uniting their voice in a demand for an appropri ation for a portage road. Mr. Benton Mays, eldest son of Hon Robert Mays, is in the city from his Wallowa home. From Mr. Mays we learn that prosperity has spread to that part of the Inland E.upire, but it is not a grain country on account of frost. The winter snows protect the grass, and stock-raisers find it profitable to feed 2 or three months every winter. It is fine stock country. The problem of the sand drift in this country has at last been solved, by the discovery by a tramp, that boards set up a few inches from the ground keeps the sand moving off till it just quits from sheer exhaustion (lack of wind). and is left where it will do nobody harm. The tie-walker and beam-rider who made this discovery is now an important em ploye of the company. A tourist, so Conductor Fowler says-, may be a great scientist, a profound philosopher or a mighty statesman with the logical brain of a Webster, and yet no railroad conductor can make him understand wnv a ticket bought lor a certain train on a certain railroad is not good for some other train on any other railroad. He may get out his purse and pay his fare, but he does it with the feeling that he is being swindled. Mr. Jacobsen has encouraging reports from the Silgol mining region of Mount Adams. A Goldendale Dispatch says : "lnereis mucn excitement here over John J. Golden's recent rich find of sil ver ore near the foot of Mount Adams. Three pack-trains started out last Mon day. Those who have returned report it very rich. Charley Slade, the stage manlias arranged to take passengers from Grant's through to the mines." From the Daily Chronicle, Monday. U. R.

Dr. F. Wortman and Mrr John R. Duff.of Portland, are at The Umatilla. Pools will be sold every evening dur ing the races at the Snug by auctioneer Butts. The Chronicle, has fallen heir to the tall corn stalks from Hon. J. H. Mosicr's place. Secretary Maclnnis has moved his of fice up to the pavilion on the fair grounds. Do not forget the Chautauqua meeting this evening at the' house of Mrs. G. C. Blakeley. The Dalles horses arrived from La Grand last night covered with fine blankets and glory. The Oregon editors were banqueted at Spokane, and are expected in Portland from the Sound tonight. . Next Wednesday, the 12th, fs the last day to pay " city taxes without costs added. "A word to the wise," etc. The Wasco county board of equaliza tion is now in session, and will remain in session this week, at the Court house. Some of those choice peaches raised in The Dalles by Mr. Houghton, have been preserved for exhibition at the fair this week. farmers in the Palouse country are suffering from another blockade of wheat. No cars to carry it away. Open the Colnmbia. ' The weather clerk telegraphed to his assistant Mr. S. L. Brooks, that we may expect rain with nearly stationary tem perature up to noon tomorrw. In October 1852, flour was selling at 56 per barrel, bacon $1.25 per pound. A man with a team of cattle made from $8 to $11 a day hauling wood and chips, and doing odd jobs. B. Wolfe is beginning to think that he will have to cnt a second crop of wheat off his field on Second street this year. The wheat is now about thirty inches high and heading out. Auctioner W. H. Butts will commence the sale of city lots tomorrow, according to advertisement in another column, and the sale will be continued from day to day until all are sold. The body of a Klickitat Indian, drown ed some weeks since, was found floating in the Columbia above the cascades last night, and was turned ovtr to his people today without an inquest. The John Day Sentinel has been brought up by the Alliance Publishing company of Grant county, and will here after be run in the interests of the Farmers Alliance and Peoples party. Mr. D. Van Horn, the piano tuner, airived on the noon train. Mr. Van Horn is ready to repair and tune pianos, and guarantees first-class work. Orders may be left at I. C. Nickelsen's music store. Prof. Smith of the State Reform school is in the city, on track of two escapes. One is a boy named Cofor, from Pendle ton, and the other is a boy named Nel son, from Portland, lie win return Dy the Regulator. While in Chicago last week, Captain W. P. Gray, while taking a stroll along the lake front, was held up by three footpads. When lie told them he was from Pasco, they gave him a quarter and told him to go and eat. Four samples of four kinds of minerals for assay, went forward for the east to eay in packages securely put up by Linus Hubbard. Something is going to drop hard, with a metallic thud; in and about The Dalles some of these moons shortly. Pendleton, Walla Walla and all points passed in daylight, greeted the Oregon Press Association all around the circuit as they went oy. ine waua nana Statesman scribe suggested that "so much brain on one car must have been quite a strain on the springs." He must have bees the least bit jealous . Gold is found in paying quantities this fall on the banks of the Columbia abon Arlington; Two men have located claim on the Washington side near Castle Rock, and are taking out from $3 50 to. $4 per day to the man, by the primitive process of . panning. The Columbia river bars have long been known to be impregnated with fine gold and were profitablv worfeed manv years ago. By courtesy of Linus Hubbard, our show window has a picture of the fastest modern steamer of the day, the Richard Peck, which beat the Puritan on Long Island Sound last Saturday. A river steamer, with sufficient draft of water, of this construction can be run with one-third the fuel, bandies better, carry more freight and would be far more comfortable and convenient for pas senger travel than any stern-wheel boat ever built on the Pacific coast. Statistician L. P. McCarty is in the city today with his 16th annual. It is an almost invaluable book, and is yearly enlarged in its scope. That life is too short for the attainment of desired know ledge is a common complaint. He therefore, who sifts from the vast mass of obtainable information those facts whose novelty or importance makes them a valuable basis for either thought or action, offers help to any man, and confers a boon upon overtaxed human ity. A few days ago a neighbor democrat intending to squelch Boss Sinnott with a poser said: How is it Boss that the wool growers of Ohio are' crying out for an increase in the tariff on wool, while Sherman, Foster and McKinley are de claiming away in the east not to tamper with the tariff as it- unsettles trade? The Boss promptly replied, the tariff on wool is all right it is the tariff on rags that must be raised. The Yankees are so smart they have learned to . make clothes out of rags in one season. A man who has invented a portable dam, to be used in clearing sand bars out of the river channel, has turned his invention to other uses. He offered it to Frank Dekum in Portland last week, to help him d a numbskull for de facing his beautiful new ' building on Washington street. The fellow was an awning-maker and be had, to Mr. Dekum's intense disgust, drilled several holes in the stone near the corner with out permission, in order to fasten up a rachet for raising the awning. As the holes had been made.he was allowed to go ahead with his plan, but when he found that he had got the holes in the wrong place and started in to drill some more, Mr. Dekum happened along, and only for the portable dam he could not have done the subject justice. ' THE DALLES FRUIT KAISERS. Lint of Men Who are The I'luneers In Establishing; a Name For Wasco Fruit. It must be admitted that the day is coming when The Dalles will be more famous for its fruit than any one locality now known. Then it will be important to know who the men were that pioneered this wonderful business In order that they may be known. The Cheonicle has collected data by which we are enabled to present the following list of those engaged more-or less ex tensively in the cultivation of fruits and vines within a radius of five miles of The Dalles this year, with the exception of two names.

On sails our brave Anaconda, O'er the waters dark and blue, Smiling at storm or tempest Bearing her gallant crew. Happy the hearts ol the sailors 1 As only such true hearts can be, With the stars and the stripes floating n'cr them As they Kail o'er the wide Behring sea. They sing oft of home and of loved ones, ror soon tneir Dane noniewara will turn: To the hearts that were saddened at parting, Yet still for sailor lads yearn. Oh brare the wild storms Anaconda, As you sail o'er the fierce dashing foam ; May the Father of Heaven protect you, And again we will welcome you home. Jennie, Advertised Letters.

There is no use of any one suffering with the cholera when Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy can be procured. It will give relief in a few minutes and cure in a short time. I have tried it and know. W. H. Clin ton, Helmetta, N. J. The epidemic at Helmetta was at first believed to he cholera, but subsequent investigation proved it to be a violent form of dysen tery, almost as dangerous as cholera. This remedy was used there with great success. For sale by Blakeley & Hough ton. A Business lew of It. Contractors from every portion of America are frequent visitors to Cas cade Locks now. Judge Candiana says they come every few days. We inter viewed a couple incog, yesterday, who said it would be about an 8-months' job to finish the work under contract. That's about right, too; the present work at Niagara will be completed in side of eighteen months, from first to last, and it is a work ten times greater than that at the Cascades of the. Colum bia. This shows how the thing looks to men who mean business. A Cholera Scare. A reported outbreak of cholera at Hel tnetta, N. J., created much excitement in that vicinity. Investigation showed that the disease was not cholera but violent dysentery, wnicn is almost as severe and dangerous as cholera. Mr, Walter Willard, a prominent merchant 01 JamesDunr. two miles from Helmetta. says Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Luarrntea Keraedy nas given great satis- faction in the most severe cases of dys entery, it is certainly one ol the best things ever made."
