m THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1892. The Weekly Ghroniele, THE DALLES, - OREGON LOCAL AND PBKSOSAL. . From the Dally Chronicle, Friday. . Miss Anna Moore of Portland is in the city. . . The breeze is as gentle as zephyrlhis afternoon. Wanted by a lady : A position as nnrse. Inquire at Chboxicle office. Miss Lizzie Kicbards lias left The Dalles, and will reside in future in Port land. Soren J. Farre, a native of Denmark, became a citizen of the United States yesterday. Miss Maud French, daughter of Mr. D. M. French, left for Chicago last evening. The body of N. S. Becknell, whose sudden death on the 16th has been re corded, was shipped to friends in the east by express today. " Josh Hardy is doing some extra fine ' work on the democratic transparancies. You ought to see his rooster on top of the capital dome crowing for The Press. Purser John Hampshire of the Regu lator got left this -morning, as the boat leaves an hour later than usual we sup pose; and was obliged to take the 3:05 train, which didn't leave until about 8 o'clock a.m. J. B. Havely of Boyd, was up Mill creek yesterday inspecting the flume, and the lumber, etc., brought into The Dalles by that water route, and he has about decided that it would be money in his pocket to come to The Dalles for his lumber supply. Snow blockades east of us, and lan slides west of us, keeps business demor - alized, on account of the irregularity of the trains. No. 2, eastbound, arrived today, conrlecting by boat at Bonne ville, and brought the back mails of the .past two days. Mr. Geo. A. Young is in the city awaiting the arrival of his daughter from Montana. Since his sickness his clothes are a trifle too large for his cor porosity, but as he is beginning to feel as jolly as ever he hopes soon to get back to his standard weight. Mr. J. E. Underhill of Center Ridge, informs us that the new school house there is now finished and furnished, but the district is still in debt a little for it and to aid in paying off this sum, a ben efit dance will be given on the 2d of December. Tickets, including supper $1.00 Postmaster Nolan took a trip to Bake Oven today to complete his "thank you job" of postofBce inspection. Officials in Washington do not appear to realize such a task as this in a country where i takes 24 hours to go from one postoffice to another in the countrv. This is not an old settled new England township as flat as the prairie. The supposed princeless jewels and sacred relics, owned by the late Rev- Father Mollinger, and which played such a prominent part in the thousands of cures performed by the priest at Pitts burg, Pa., prove to be bogus, and the al leged golden altar in St. Anthony chapel . is nothing but wood, covered with cheap gilt. The man who built the al tars ana put the relics in position, says there is not a truly valuable stone in the whole building. The face of the whole countrv in the vicinity of Reeds, below Bonneville, seems to be moving for a mile and nait DacK. it is perhaps located on a glacier, and this being the year for rec ord breaking the landslide record of the IT. P. R. Co. along tho Columbia must be shattered. From Monday night till this morning the slide has traveled 500 feet north of the track, and has not only demolished a house which has stood there thirty years, but has nearly cover ed up the locomotive, tender and car. ditched the first day. There is a mile of the mountain yet to come down, and at the present rate of working the In land Empire will have to depend on the river, for some weeks at least. The TJ. P. R. Co. are displaying very little energy to cope with this immense ob struction. The Oregoniah yesterday eaya the train due in Portland Tuesday morning did not arrive until after mid night and the passengers became , very impatient, and drew up a set of resolu- tions condemning the company for not being more energetic in sending a relief train to the scene. This is in keeping with the management, as they sent a locomotive to The Dalles simply to"turn it around," when there was a turn-table .fit Bonneville. What is the matter with the turn-table at Bonneville? Why was it not used? It is unfortunate for , the company that such elides occur, and they have our sympathy; but when ac cidents such as this do occur, it is time to get a move on. From the Dally Chronicle, Saturday. No noon train today from Portland. Mr. Frank Tayorof Centerville, is in the city. Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Maier returned from Portland this morning. ' ' Mr. A. B. Craft of Rufus, is in the ' city. We acknowledge a call today. Gov. Pennoyer has commissioned . Judge J. B. Condon a Notary Public. Messrs. B. F. Laughlin and Hugh Glenn returned from Portland last even ing." - Messrs. Pauline and Irene Adams and Jeanette Meredith left on the Regulator this morning for Salem. Pease & Mays White House of Vut tons, and "Cleveland is in it,";makes a fine window display today. , Mr. J. H. Shearer expects to leave for the east on Monday, to look after his wool, en route to Boston from The Dalles via Cape Horn. ' A million torches, etc., more or less, in use at the Portland ratification, came up on the steamer Eegnlator last night for The Dalles democracy tonight. , Messrs. Alex. Mcintosh of Grants, O. McKinney of Walla Walla, and M. A Leslie of Moro, arrived on the west bound Dasseneer this morning, and are in the city on business. The Regulator will make a Jtrip to morrow. Nov. 20tb, and connect with Dalles City at Cascade Locks for Port land, leaving The Dalles at 8 o'clock a m. This is the reliable through time just now. Mr D. Finlayson of Centerville, who was in yesterday, says there is consider able wheat to haul to The Dalles yet from the farms of Klickitat. About twentv loads came in today, and the roads are still improving. The case of the state of Oregon v. Wm Bergfeld, indicted on suspicion of pois oningMrs. Matilda Rogers, will come up for trial next week. It is not known whether new evidence has been brought before the erand iurv. but the the case excites wide interest and the trial will be largely attended. The Regulator last evening brought the Oreeonian of yesterday morning to The Dalles four hours ahead of the TJ P. R. train, due here at 1 :05 p. m. The D. P. and A. company s boats are now the most certain medium of getting into Portland and The Dalles on time every day in the week, Sundays excepted . Mr. Jacob Bills, of Oakland, Cal., brother of Mr. Chris Bills, our city patrolmen, Henry Bills and Mrs. Crate and Mrs. Wyndham, left for Oakland by the steamer Regulator yesterday, accom panied as far as Portland by Mrs. Crate and Mrs. W3rnham. He expects to settle up his business in California and return to The Dalles permanently. Our young friend across the way, true to his word, has from all appearances gone into the wood business in dead earnest. The voung ladies of The Chkonicle force, although deeply in terested as to whom the partner maybe, are none the less solicitous as to whether the wood and hardware will interfere with the confectionary business. Mr. W. H. Wells arrived in the city early this morning. He says that neither snow nor rain is doing the region in which he lives, heyond the Des Chutes any good. What . rain has fallen has about dried out, the region is dusty, and vegetation has stopped grow ing. That portion of the country cer tainly needs the benefits of irrigation. Hon. Geo. A. Young, now carries a beautiful time piece, the works, case and all the manufacture of a nephew, Mr. S. L. Young, who has been with the Elgin works for the past thirty years. It is an open-faced hunter cased gold watch, with Elgins best works, and on the dial plate above the center and below the figure 12, has a photo of a beautiful thoroughbred Spanish merino buck. The prize bouquet of the chrysanthe mum exhibit was purchased by Dr. Whitcoinb of Dufur, and after being carefully packed was sent to friends in New York city ; where people enjoy (?) the rigors of winter at this time in three feet of snow; as a greeting from the sunny Dalles, ' where these beautitul flowers are j-et blooming in out door flower gardens. It is a gift which will be very highly prized. After Dr. W, finishes up some business on hand here he intends paying a visit to Southern Oregon on business. The Eye of the Inland Empire is upon the Oregonian, and one of The Dalles most influential citizens asks ' if the Oregonian referred to Blagens 2. mil lion bid for cascade canal completion when it said: "From this it will be seen that it will cost about the same to have the work done by contract as by the government." Is Mr. Blagen still in the employ of the Union Pacific rail way company? is at this time a signifi cant inquiry perhps. At the late session of the county court, at the annual letting of contracts, a bid was received from Mrs. E. Fulton of Hood River, for keeping the county and non-resident poor for the next year, be ginning with November 21st, 1892, Mon day next, and it being considered the lowest bid : $1,197 for the county, and $4.00 per week for non-resident poor ; it was ordered that the bid be acccepted, and bonds filed in the sum of $2,500. It expected that the bonds will be filed today. The poor ye -always have, and as Mr. Cushing has taken extra good care of them, it is to be hoped the county may not regret the change which has become necessary under the present method of attending to such business. The time is coming when the county will have to own a hospital and farm for this purpose, and manage it with a salaried superintendent, as this unfortunate class of people should not be subjected to speculations, and lowest bids for food. Messrs. Floyd, Gov. Moody apd others who attended the sale of personal prop erty at the farm of the late Hon. McD. Lewis, have 'returned. Bidding was quite spirited, and prices ruled high for everything. . Hay $8.00 per ton ; 200 lb. hogs $12.50 each ; Milch cows from $20 to $28 each; Yearlings $6 to $10 each; oats 1, and barley lc. per lb,. The sheep sold equally as well, ewes at $3.55 per head, lambs $2.30 each. The jury in the case of the State v. Herman Hansen, brought in a verdict for the defendant last night, and he was discharged and bondsmen were exoner ated. .- ' In the case of McClure v. the railway company, for damages from forest fires, the following jury was impanneled this morning and the cause is now on trial : J. M. Leadford, Tim Mayhew W. L. Vanderpool, M. B. Potter, E. W. Trout, S. F. Blythe, G. VV. Runyan, J. B. Hav ley, AVm. Lander, J. R. Nickelsen, T. E. Wickens, and Wm. Heisler. Other jurors for the term were excused until Monday morning. Passengers leaving The Dalles by rail way for Portland should be informed as to the conditions of things. This has not been done. Tickets sold for Thurs day morning, upon which the passen gers expected to reach Portland in time for business, were good for nothing after reaching the big land slide. There was no boat there to transfer, and down right falsifying was indulged to prevent passengers from taking the steamer Dalles City when Ehe came along on her daily down trip, but this did not prevent about seventy-live passengers from em- $4.00 per day, promising work as long as Mr. W. Ridgley, of the ditch company came in Saturday, and went to Portland on business. He will return by the Regulator this evening When he left the camp at McGubbins gulch there was three feet of snow on the ground. Mr. Paul, F. Mohr, of New York, is in the city, looking after the interests of the dalles portage tod.ay. He says it is his intention to press the work at once. Times are ripe, financially and other wise, for the Inland Empire to go ahead apace. The jury in the case of McClure v. the Railway company, for $200 damages from fire last summer, were out seven teen hours, and brought in a verdict, at 11 a. m., yesterday, of $500 for plaintiff. A mere bagatelle, to throw costs on to the plaintiff. Several excursionists made the trip to the Cascades yesterday with Capt. Fred H. Sherman, it being his maiden excur sion with the Regulator on Sunday as master. The start was delayed by the U. P. R. until 12:25 p. m., but the round trip was made in five hours, G. W. McCoy of Portland, manager of the Oregon land, irrigation, lumber and fuel company, passed through for Hood River on his return from the site of the proposed mill, about ten miles froin Wapinitia. He had suecessfulv laid the machinery for the mill down, via. the Barlow road, from Portland. The com pany is employing all the men and teams they can get. They are paying men $2.00 per day and man and team THE CASCADE LOCKS. barking by the Regulator line, and they were well cared for on board," fed and made comfortable, and landed in Port land between 4 and 5 o'clock p. m., but they had to pay the D. P. and A. N. Co. an extra dollar, for the reason that there are no favors coming to the Peo ples line from the U. P. R. Co. - The railway company, it is presumed con tinue to sell tickets to people who ex pect to get through on time ; but do they tell the purchaser that a departure from The Dalles for Portland this afternoon at 4:10, providing that the train is on time ; means an arrival in Portland to morrow sometime? Or, do they say to the passenger leaving The Dalles at 3 :05 a. m., you may not get in beiore 9 p. m. : The true situation of affairs should not be suppressed. From the Dally Chronicle, Monday. "Troubles never come singly." They are usually wedded with sins. It looks funny to see a passenger train come into the city "stern first," as they do from Bonneville. Councilman Joles is off on a Wild Goose Chase in Sherman county. He expects to return today. The deal of yesterday has secured to the steamer Regulator three full loads of beef cattle for Troutdale. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Covington have re turned from a visit to their daughter, Mrs M. E. Titus, at Astoria. Mr. Fred Joslyn returned to Colfax by the midnight train which passed The Dalles at 3 :40 yesterday morning. Geese by thousands were seen above Lvle landing yesterday, leisurely wait ing for the huntsman with his gnu. Kenneth McLennan of Antelope, Jas, McMillan of Wasco, and Mr. and Mrs, Gunther of Moro, are registered at The Umatilla. Mrs. John Michell was a passenger by steamers Regulator and Dalles City to Portland yesterday, called bv illness of her mother. Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Bucklev and Mr, Chas. Davis, of Buckley sheep ranch, east of Sherars, went to Portland yester day by steamers Regulator and Dalles U.ty. In lending a band yesterday to load stock at the Regulator dock, Mr. D. M French lost a valuable watch chain, but he was fortunate in finding ltTagain, after a long hunt. Herbert Jameson, brother of M. S Jameson of The Dalles, died in Denver on Monday last. His mother was with him, and the remains will be brought to Portland for burial. W. H. Butts has provided forty fine, fat and well-flavored turkeys for Thanks giving, which will be rattled at the snug tomorrow night. Call and see the finest turkeys in the county. It would not be surprising to be in formed, before long, that Oregon is sup plying the world with nickel. Such is the condition of things that this is quite possible to become the fact. Messrs. Bronson, Green, Brown and Lon. Joslyn, returned today from a Wild Goose Chase in the wheat fields east of Arlington. They went armed for a slaughter and they succeeded. ' Fine speckled trout, a foot long, may be caught at the Regulator wharf. Wild duck were killed off the same wharf last week. Make a note of this for remembrance in the near future. the operations can be carried on. Men with teams, should bring road scrapers with them. A little spec of cinder no bigger than this . caught in the eye from a locomo tive on Main street, nearly set the writer wild yesterday a. in., but as he had suf fered the tortures of an in-growing toe nail, and a sore throat ; and the day was one of natures best ; concluded to go to the Cascades on the excursion at all events. The sympathies of the crowd and a silk handkerchief from Emit Schanno, afforded some trifling consola tion until Cascade Locks was reached An inquiry from Supt. Riley sent loco motive Engineer Laycock to the Regu lator, and with a bit of paper,the source of our troubles was instantly removed, i be eye lia was raised, the spec, was found, and taken out on the edge of the paper in a jiffy. Verily must we "live to learn." The democratic jubilee in The Dalles Saturday night was a big blow out. The teet of democratic loyalty was measured by the; mud on the parader's boots Along the line several places of business and private residences were decorated and illuminated, notably those of Judge Bennett, W. C. Alloway, Dr. Shackel ford, H, M. Beall, T. A. Ward, J. B. Crossen, H. C. Nielsen, Strubling and Williams, W. T. Wiseman, Fisher's Elete, McCoys barbershop, H. Herbring, Blakely &. Houghton, Mays & Crowe, Snipes & Kinersly, The Umatilla, Aug. Buchler, and others too numerous to mention. The procession was the lar gest ever witnessed in the city. Roosters were in demand and they appeared everywhere in the procession, decorations, etc. Very Worthy Incident. How fittingly the harmony of the democratic jubilee was conducted may be inferred from the appearance of one brigade, composed of democrats and re publicans uniformed alike, with one exception, that the hats of the republi cans bore bands of crepe. These were Ed. Williams, Wm. Corson, Chas Haight, John Hampshire, Fletcher Faulkner, Harry Lonsdale and others Thus arm in arm did they tramp through mud like brothers, following a band wagon, that had been traveling in the lurch since I860, with one exception, They paid The Chronicle office, which, by the way, was illuminated ; a visit much appreciated, as a reminder of the peaceful revolutions of America, where the turning over, in a single day, of all the offices and emoluments of govern ment from one party to another the leaders of both sides promptly accept the result as the inevitable decree of the people. How truthfully it has been said : "Here the defeated candidate for president will escort his' successful rival to. the inauguration stand, and the whole people, irrespective of party, will greet with tokens of enthusiasm and respect the. next chief magistrate bf the American people. List of lUds Submitted for Completing the Work by Contract. Following is the list of the bids re ceived by Major Handbury, United States engineers, -for completing the canal at the cascades: - ' . fl TT..1 C , Tl - . 1 679,540.41; Dickinson & Co., Tacoma, Wash., $1,526,303; N. J. Blagen, Port land, Or., $2,305,882; J. G. & I. N. Day, San Francisco; Cal., $1,519,765; C. D. Vincent & John Mahony, San Francisco, $1,997,212.25; J. P. M." Phillips et al., San Francisco, Cal., $1,799,598.87. The estimate of the government engi neers for doing this work was $1,5S6,833 with 10 per cent, added for engineering contingencies and inspection expenses. "Under the construction of the law gov erning this contract says the Oregonian, but two of these bids could receive rec ommendation. From' this it will be seen that it will cost about the same to have the work done by contract as by the government." The saving in time which will be effected by the contract system has been fully demonstrated at Sault Ste. Marie, and elsewhere ; and does not "remain to be found out." It has been expected up this way that con struction of the law governing this con tract would be twisted out of all shape if necessary, to defeat the project.

Officials of the Atchison, Burlington, Rock Island, Col orado Midland, Rio Grande Western and Denver and Rio Grande roads, after a conference of nearly a week, have at last decided on a method of dealing with the Union Pacific on account of its fail ure to divide business with them at Denver and Ogden instead of at the Mis souri river.
