Do not wipe your nose until you have taken a good view of the fine display of handkerchiefs in the first window of Pease fc Mays this evening. The city is very lively today and trade seems brisk, but there is a general com plaint of bad roads, and travel to and from the city is largely suspended on that account. Two cases of scarletina, of a mild form is reported in the city. There is no need of any alarm of its becoming preva lent as our physicians will check it in its incipiency and stamp it out. . Mr. J.

Miss Maude Burk, niece of Mrs. J. W. French, arrived in the city from James town, Dakota, Saturday afternoon. Miss Burk fiDds quite a change in climate. When she left home the rigors of winter were in full blast. - Here roses, lawn stinas and pansies are in full bloom out of doors, and the weather is fresh and balmy. The Democratic . press mention Mr, Geo. P. Morgan, our townsman, as a fit and prominent person for the recistry of the U. S. Land office in this city. Should the incoming administration make an appointment for that position. Mr. Morgan is a very competent person for the place, and has an universal endorse ment of all parties so far as we know, The good folks at Endersby were en tertained a few evenings since by Mr. and. Mrs. Wm. ; Endersby, in honor of their th wedding anniversary. A boun tiful repast was served. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. G. V. Fligg, Mr. and Mrs. G. . . ' Conert, Mr. and Mrs. J. N.

No better matinee or evening enjoyment can be had than by attending Cordray's in Portland, The Grand Rapids Press, a 6-col patent inside, has been started in the Clatsop woods, where there is not even a postoffice, "to fill the bill" and secure lucre from the publication of land office notices. It was eix weeks of age Dec 2d, '92 ; yet it had more money in its ads that day than reputable newspapers, This is an evidence that all legal adver tising should be published in some re sponsible paper at the county seat of the county wherein the land in question is located The three Graham children, who have been taken in hand by the King's ' Daughters, when at the verge of starva tion and in a state of extreme destitu tion, now properly clothed and made presentable, go to Portland this after noon to enter the home of the Boys and Girls Aid society. The ladies of th King's Daughters have been quite busily engaged during the past few days in fitting up these unfortunate children and are deserving of the highest praise for the help and assistance they are be stowing on the unfortunate poor of onr town. From the Daily Chronicle Saturday Hon. Geo. W. Johnson of Dufur, is in the city. Mr. O. Kinersly returned on the noon train today. Mrs. T. M. Sparks, formerly ot The Dalles, is visiting in the city. Hon. W. H. Biggs of Wasco returned home on the noon passenger today. Messrs. P. P. Underwood and H Hudson of Boyd, gave as a pleasant call today. We are pleased to learn that Mr v( Morgan, editor of our contemporary is better today The alarm of fire today was only the burning out of a chimney at the Cosmo politan hotel. The west bound passenger train came in this morning at 9 :45 being about six , and a half hours late. The Rev. J. C. Baker, will hold service at the academy tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. A cordial invitation is ex ended to all. It is very pleasing to hear that Cap tain Lewis is better, and has made some progress toward recovery from his pro tracted illness. Jos. Maceacnran esq., returned yes terday from Prineville where he has been on business connected with the Finlayson estate. The city ordinance recently passed re quiring sidewalks to be . built on the burnt district, has had a good effect, and now nearly all the walks are laid, which not oily a convenience for pedestrians, is a great improvement in the appear ance of the city. to formulate a scheme for retaliation and to say nothing, which is construed to mean sharp hostilities regardless of con sequences. A merry party consisting of students from the Academy, was last evening en tertained at the residence of Geo. Snipes The evening was passed in palling candy and other amusements. . Those present were Misses Clara Davis, Beulah Patter son, Mable Riddell, Maie Beali, Emma Bonney, Pearl Williams, May Seckler, Ethel Baker, Daisy Alia way, Nona Rowe, Bessie French, and Messrs. Homer An gel, Freas Saunders, James Maloney, Forest Fisher, Fred Snipes, Walter Johns, Harry Kellv, George Dufur, John Cooper, Willie fields and Walter Nor man. , Amongst the notables met with in Portland this week are the Columbia river salmon canning barons, who are endeavoring to form a trust. The great est difficulty in the way seems to be, said one of them, a lack of our trust in one another. Mr. J. O. Hanthorn dis cussing the subject said : "What wor ries us is the fact that the industry on the Columbia river is certainly on the decrease on account of the scarcity of zation three years ago. salmon and although we pay a tax on our fish to keep Oregon rivers well stocked, the laws are so lax- that the money is not all collected, and that which is collected is not sufficient to carry on the business', it the same amount of apparatus bad been used to take fish front the Columbia river fifteen years ago as there is used now 1,000,000 cases could eaeily have been packed annually, while now with all the fish we can buy, we have difficulty in turning out half that amount." Saturday evening, as Hon. G. W Johnson and Maj. Anderson of Dufur were returning homewards from The Dalles, they met Mr. William Ashby with his freight team on' the eight-Mile grade, at which point their team be came unmanageable and ran off the grade, throwing Mr. Anderson out, and but for the timely assistance of Mr; Ashby, who left his own team and went to their aid, a serious accident might have resulted. As- it was, fortunately nothing of the kind occurred. Another runaway accident occurred last night on the Dufur road to Mr. Jacobsen. He had been to Dufur, in bis buggy, and had been delated there. When darkness surrounded him on the road he took the precaution to prepare himself for any emergency that migl: arise, by lowering the top of his buggy and removing the storm robe from his knees. He let his animal take the road and trusted to her, as it was so dark he At a meeting of the stockholders of the could not see a foot from his face.

Dr. Eagan believes the arrest to have been a scheme of detectives to get the big reward offered, We are informed by a prominent citi zen of Fossil that Cal Hale was in that city the very day of the robbery and purchased a bill of goods from Messrs, Sceiwer & Co. Interstate Investment company held in Portland Tuesday evening, and the fol lowing board of directors were elected O. D. Taylor, Herbert Folger, M. D. Markham, N. Whealdon, J. F. Edwards. At a meeting of the directors the follow ing officers were elected : O. D. Taylor, president ; N. Whealdon, vice president ; J. F. Edwards, secretary ; Herbert Fol ger, treasurer. Messrs.

They will coast along unt il they reach White Salmon and there, will try their luck with the ducks, and on Wednesday return by Kegulator, These mmrods will get a ducking, if no docks, as old Prob says its going to rain in these parts, right down regardless f consequences. A very pleasant party was given by Gesarjg Verein Hartnonie and friends last Friday evening as a surprise to Mr, and Mrs. C. L.

Here the mare diverged from the track, upset the buggy, threw Mr. Jacobeen, and went alone. The buggy was smashed to smithereens, and the contents strewn along the road. Mr. Jess Blakeney had left Dufur ahead of Mr. Jacobsen. but tne latter passed nim before the acci dent occurred. The mare wac some what cut up. but she was found and brought to the city. They reached hen? arKjut p. ui., much fatigued from tne trip. For ail Open Klrer. Heppner Gazette. "The next session of the legislature is near at hand, and our Eastern Oregon legislators ought to be getting ready to whack away for an open river. We . need a portage at Celilo." There can be but little doubt, that the next session will be almost a unit on that question. It ia Been now that the Inland Empire deniBiids such legislation and a deaf ear cannot he turned away from so important a measure as a port age road at Celilo. It is generally con ceeded that the government will under take a ship railway. Pendleton Tribune. "The Inland press are commencing to vigorously ad vocate the speedy opening of the Colom bia river. This is an important move and should be shouted from every house top and woe be the politician who thwarts this worthy object. Keep the ball rolling brethren and count us strictly in the fight." We are in it. The Inland Empire needs the obstruction at Celilo and th dalles removed. " The outlet for 86,000, 000 bushels of grain annually demands an open river, and unless vessels can go untramelled to the eea, agriculture is failure in Eastern Oregon. . Freight rates are an embargo by rail. ' Keeolatlons en the Death H.

From the Daily Chronicle, Monday. The train due from the east this after noon at 4 :20 is reported behind time. The Dalles beach is now the storage place tor at least 2,500 cords of wood, on sale. Judge Watkins left this morning for Spokane. It is his intention to go in to business there. There will be a business meeting of the Kings Daughters on tomorrow after noon at the residence of Mrs. S. L. Brooks, The merry' jingle of the cowbell and the low of the scattered herd is heard on the streets of The Dalles by night and by day, calling Police, Police. . The friends' of Capt. Lewis and Mr. Geo. P. Morgan are glad to hear that the condition of these gentlemen, who are prostrated by serious illness, is much improved. Fred Chandler, and J. N. Zumwall of Tygh ; Mr. and Mrs. John Parker, of Hood River ; Mr. and Mrs. H. Price of Biggs; and H. S. James of Bake Oven, are at the Umatilla. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Shearer took their departure fur the east at noon today. At Huntington they will tarry for three days to visit a daughter, and will then proceed to New York. Thb Chronicle, in common with hosts of other friends, wish them a safe trip and speedy return. People of the Inland Empire must not be confused by the name of the man Norton, who is reported to be in the country securing fugnatures to remon strances for an appropriation by the Or egon assembly for the dalles portage; with the name of the civil engineer Nor ton, who made the surveys for The Dalles and Celilo railway. in the field now is another man, secured perhaps because of his name, to represent the enemies of the portage railway, anr", by the name, be better enabled to mis represent the facts. Have nothing to do with him, nor his remonstrances. In this connection Thb Chronicle is advised by Judge Liebe and Mr. T. A. Hudson, officers in The Dalles and Ce lilo railway company, that that corpora tion will gladly co-operate with the pnb lie in the project of a dalles portage road, and Will turn over to the state, or any parties who will build the road, their franchises, which include right of way la'rgely secured, surveys, plats and other valuable property, at the merely nominal figure of cost. This has been declared a perfectly ft a sible route by Engineers Habersham and Taylor, J. F. Osburn, and others who have passed over it, and all agree that the railway can be constructed and fully equipped within the estimates, $450,000. The Dalies people, and others financially interested in this project, are concerned solely with the purpose of opening , up the Columbia river f-s a transportation route. It is hot a spacu- lation.
