A dealer in the city informs us that
diamond mill flour is sold in Hood River
at 95 cents per sack. In The Dalles, it

belonged at Grants station. They were
hipped back on the noon train today.

It is useless to say our streets are in a
terrible muddy condition. The accumu
lation of dirt on the macadam renders
them really horrible with the slop that
the rain has made. The question is
very often asked : "Why in the world
does not the 'city council order them
cleaned? or compel the property own
ers to do so." It is a shame and a dis
grace for a city of the importance of The
Dalles to suffer such dirty streets within
her business portion, in which she takes
such pride.
Mr. Seymour Fleete, of the engineer
corps at the Cascade Locks, was in the
city over the Sabbath and returned
home yesterday. Mr. Fleete informs us
East Dalles is very quiet today. The
stock yards have a small lot of hogs that
were brought in from the country to be
shipped on order. But few farmers have
come into the city and the feed stables
and yards are quite empty. The city
on t he whole .is very quiet.
"The Editor" will receive its -final
presentation this evening, and tomor
row evening "The Guv'nor" will make
its local debut at Cordray's, in Portland.
If The Dalles people would open cor
respondence with Cord ray, who is one
of the uioft successful managers of
theaters, possibly he might be induced
to moke an investment here in an opera
house. .
The King's Daughters, a charitable or
ganisation among the ladies of this city,
are taxed to their utmost to cope with
the demands made upon them for the
relief of the poor which "ye always
have." Most of the cases of destitution
reported is among families who are new
comers, and generally strange re in our
midst, whom the good ladies have found
out by inquiry. At th meeting yester
day, fully four hours time was consumed
in tbe work ttefore the committees.
The Teagne robbery reported yester
day turns out to be "all a dream."
When his sister made up his bed in the
morning the purse and contents,.' minus
tbe $2.50, wag. found snugly secreted be-j
tween the mattresses. It is quite evi
dent that when Bob dreamed he was be
ing robbed he performed a somnambu
listic feat, by arising and secreting his
money. Wben he heard the $2.60 roll
ing on the floor he probably thought the
burglar was n iter him, and he got into
bed, covered his bead under the blank
ets, and proceeded to complete the
dream, which evolved into a reality on
awakening.
The Dalles is uo worse than any other
city, but it is bad enough, everybody
knows. There are parents in this city
as in every other city who exercise no
control whatever over their offspring, es
pecially their boys, and the consequence
is they grow up like au Indian, without
restraint or regard for others, and the
result is recklessness, and so on till they
ripen down into the vilest deeds that is
recorded in the annals of crime. They
tbe entire force of draughtsmen, clerks ' begin iu abuse to their fellows, the next
and Lieut. Taylor, have moved to Port- is a step farther, and a little longer on
land for the winter. The lock plant is 1 follows the first, and what next? gone
too far, boys. Night before last, while
regular soiree will be given as usual.
Tbe Astoria chamber of commerce has
passed a set of ringing resolutions favor
able to the rapid opening of the Colum
bia river to free an untrammeled navi
gation. The movement of wheat toward the
seaboard does not in the least diminish.
The Dalles is keeping pace with the In
land Empire in proper proportionate
shipments.
The city should follow in the footsteps
of Portland and pass a police regulation
to slop sale of cigarettes to boys. There
is a state law but it is aaid to be a dead
letter.
JuEtice 8chuU has decided not to per
mit soot to accumulate in the pipe of his
coal stove, and has hit upon the plan of
removing such actions by freely burning
sine in the fires. It is a clearing remedy.
The Dalles, Portland and Astoria Nav
igation company will have a commodious
wharf and dock in this city when the
structure now begun is finished at the
foot of Court street.
W. . W. Baker, state food commis
sioner, is trying to force the Portland
restaurants to serve pure butter. He
deserves the thanks of the public who
want to know with what their bread Is
buttered.
The Dalles is in good supply of fuel
for the winter. There are in addition
; to that on the beach. 3,000 cords of tir.
pine and slab wood on tbe dump at the
Lumbering Co. 'a flume in this city.
The Dalles Lumbering company are j
running their mill constantly and are
cutting from 20,000 to 30,000 feet per
day. The company will not shut down
until they are compelled to by heavy
snows and ice.
Dr. J. M. Frace of New Jersey who
has been a visitor to The' Dalles for two
day 8 past, returned to bis home this a.
m. via. San Francisco, much more than
pleased with what he has seen, in the
ordinary way of using that term.
Mrs. Frank Sets of Canyon City,
daughter of Capt. J. W. Lewis, and Mrs.
J. E. Snow of Dayville, arrived this
morning. Capt. Lewis seems to be im
proving very nicely. He was able to
affix his signature to a few official papers
Tuesday.
The Union Whist club was enter
tained last evening at Keller's hall by
Judge and Mrs. G. C. Blakeley. The
evening passed very pleasantly at drive
whist. Mr. J S. Fish carried off the
first prize, while the booby fell to Mrs.
W. H. Wilson. -
A dispatch from Salem informs us
that tomorrow morning the board of
equalization will leave Portland for a
tour of Eastern Oregon, for the purpose
of obtaining information from the coun
ties along the road as to values and
methods of assessing.
Plows are still running through the
regions tributary to Tbe Dalles. Mr.
Benson, of 5-Mile, says he still finds the j
ground dry in places, but is not alarmed ;
but that it will be well soaked in due
time, as it is now-in better condition
than it was last winter at this time.

Bereavement la Pal aoaa.
Mr. r. w. ue Huff of this city re
turned from Palouse city Wednesday.
He and Mrs. De Huff had been called to
Palouse by dispatches announcing the
serious illness of their grandchildren, a
lft tie son, Robert, and daughter, Fran
cis, of J. K. and Mamie McCornack.
Tho little girl, Francis, aged two years
and nine months, died of scarlet fever.
A dispatch from his son-in-law, Mr.
McCornack, received this morning says:
"Robert is doing nicely, Not very sick.
Think some better." It is indeed a sad
bereavement to the families, and to
them Thb Chronicuk extends heart-felt
sympathies. Mrs. De Huff remainee at
Palouse until the recovery of Robert.
In this connection it may he pertinent
to allude to the following dispatch,
which appeared in the Oregonian yes
terday :
Pullman, Wash., Deo. 12. Almost a
panic reigns in Palouse citv, owing to
the prevalence of scarlet fever there.
Three deaths occurred during the past
three days, two of them being the only
left in f-harge of the watchman until
work begins again, at which time they
will return, and assume the regular
duties iu their departments, and for this
are expecting orders from the engineers
department almost any day.
graph office announces that the train
ue here this p. m. at 4 :20, "having been
abandoned" tbe first train west from The
Dalies will be freight train No 23, pass-
g at 7 p. ui. The abandonment is
presumed to be caused by a snow block
ade. No particulars.
That there is a surplus of the lawless
element congregating in The Dalles, is
evideuced from the fact that nearly
every night a hobo is run into theconuty
jail by deputy U. S. Marshal Jameson,
for selling liquor to Indians. Lately a
Klickitat farmer was sandbagged, more
recently a saloon was robbed, and Ia.-t
mgiu tne premises oi bod league wns
entered by a burglar and the four occu
pants were relieved of $53.00 jointly.
Tbey had altogether $55.50, but in his
haste the burglar dropped $2.50. About
this time, it is supposed, one of the
sleepers dreamed of being robbed, but
did not realize that he had been until
this morning. All suspicious characters
prowling about, should Jbe run in.
Referring to that portion of the presi
dent's message which shows tbe earn - j
ing trade of the Canadian Pacific railway I
me past nscai year to De Z3,S6V,ti!i lbs.
brought into the United States from
China and Japan, and 24,!Mi8,34ti lbs.
carried out of the United States
over the same route, which includes
its Pacific steamship connections,
the Astorian says : - "Every pound
of this freight should, under proper
conditions, have been imported and
exported by way of As oria. Canada
has so fostered the Canadian Pacific that '
it has built up this great traffic and owns
a steamship lino, trading with Japan
and China. Our country has thus been
outdone by a dominion of 5,000,000 peo
ple, with meager resources compared
men were off the streets at home, and
the boys ought to be, some young fel
lows, boys, broke six globes of the street
lights belonging to tbe Electric Light
company for no other reason than mis
chief and pure meanness. They evi
dently think that no one knows who did
it, but in that they are badly mistaken,
for each one is known and they will be
held accountable if such a thing is done
again. Boys ought to remember that
evil doers vet found out before they !
think or dream.
The residence of J. R. Reynolds of
Hood River, was burned yesterday morn
ing. Mrs. Reynolds was sick during
the night, and her husband got up and
built a tire in the stove. He afterwards
went to lieil, leaving the fire burning,
and a defective flue caused the house to
burn. Insurance on the bouse and fur

It is with pain that we learn of the
death of the wife of our fellow townsman
Mr. Jos. Frieman. She died last even
ing about five o'clock of uremic poison-
cbildren of Bauker McCornack. Thev
were aged four and two years. There
are manv other cases. It is claimed "by
some physicians that diphtheria also
exists, but this is denied by others.
The schools and churches have been
closed, children driven from the stree.s,
and all houses containing the disease
are quarantined. At the theater, a
company billed to play tonight was de
nied the privilege. It is thought the
disease is under control. If it spreads
turther the town will De quarantined
Mr. iieuutl states that there is no
foundation whatever for the sensational
portions of the dispatch. There is no
panic, and he is wholly at a loss to ac
count for any reason why such informa
tion should be published.
