They w ill change horses every mile. Miss Daisy Biers, of Salem, and Miss Beatha Trice, of Turner, are the first entries. It is expected that no less than a do.en will start. A pretty pod joke was played the other day in The Dalles when a young fellow calling himself Michell, with an unmistakable Irish brogue, entered the office of the Times Mountaineer, and claimed the editor as a long lost Irish cousin. The joke lies in the fact that Editor Michell is a thoroughbred Johnny Bull and hates an Irishman as the Devil hates holy water. It is not necessary to sav that the little $6.50 loan wanted by the Irish cousin was not negotiated. Goldendale Sentinel. F. W. Taylor, while loading hay on Wednesday on Chamberlain Flat, was bitten by a rattlesnake on the back of the hand. Mr. Taylor immediately ap plied a liberal quantity of moistened tobacco and beyond a short spell of sick ness and pain in the arm has suffered little inconvenience. It was fortunate that the fangs did not strike a vein as there was probably not a drop of "rattle snake medicine" nearer than Grant, 15 miles off. The snake had seven rattles and a button and it is needless to say will never bite another Taylor. .Sentinel. Monday's I)mllj H waa a dnughty warrior: Med Iravrlvi lar and wlda. To ber he mlk.-d .

Old A tad affair was that at Hartland, Wash., last night which resulted in the death of Johnny Campbell, a 7-year-old boy and the only son of Mr. ami Mr. Antnis Campliell. While returning from school on Hjtiics, an older boy pro owed a race. The little fellow accepted the friendly challenge, and after running some distance lost control of the animal. The horse, sud denly shying, threw Johnny violently to the ground, striking on the back of his head. He was instantly killed by the force of the concussion. His companion waa terrified at the unlooked-for result and at once sought aid. Upon arrival he was found to bo dead, and was after ward conveyed to the home of his parents, who were grief-stricken at the news. Both are old people and their hopes had all centered upon their only child. A messenger arrived this morn ing who returned with a coffin for the little unfortunate. He will be brought here for interment and the funernl will take place from the Catholic church at 1 o'clock tomorrow. After Many Years. The Regulator took down a huge load of wool this morning. M. Koshland has been found guilty of issuing fraudulent warehouse receipts. Three drenks, four hobos and two In diana was the crop this morning in the calaboose. Joe Crook and Taylor Hill shipped 107 head of horse today from their ranch near Prineville to the Indiana market. Among the Indian agents recently ap pointed by the president is First I-t. K. E. Benjamin, First Infantry, at Warm Springs agency, Oregon. The fruit grow ers' meeting was largely attended Saturday, and much informa tion was given relative to handling fruit. Later Mr. Clark left for the fruit ranches of Rev. O. D. Taylor. Until within the last few days the fruit prospects of Crook county were quite good, but the recent heavy frosts have killed nearly everything, except in a few favored localities. The lawn social to have been given at the home of Mr. D. M. French will be at Mrs. Smith French' instead. A very pleasant time is expected. Ad mission 20 cents, including refreshments. The Ys are requested to meet in the free reading room this evening at 7 :30 o'clock sharp. A full attendance is ordered as biiHiness of importance is to be transacted, in which all are Inter ested.

Farley nn 1 Muck'a Anita won the fifth race at the Portland trsrk Salunlny John McGrail, who has been absent for ten year in Montana, met his par ents aud family unexpectedly in The Dalles yesterday. The family were in town for the circus and John happened to be here at the same time, en route to the old folks'home in Kingsley, intend ing to happily surprise them with his sudden appearance. John haa changed from a lieardless boy of 17 yeurs to a strapping, broad-chested man over six feet in height, and had so totally changed in appearance that ho passed unrecog nized. Not so with the. family. He recognized them at once and his heart thumped with the sudden joy which is unexpluinable to those who have not had a similar experience. It required great self control to keep from bursting into tears as he taw the familiar features of his childish acquaintance, and noted, with nerves strung to the highest ten sion, the changes which Father Time had made in the faces of his beloved parents. After acquainting the others of the family of his identity, he pro longed the pleasure (or pain, which is it?) of making himself known to his mother, and passed her several times on the street purposely to see if she would not recognize him. But the transforma tion was so thorough she did not, and when he stepped before here and ut tered the magical word "mother!" the good old lady almost fainted from the sudden meeting. It is safe to assume that the shades of evening settled upon no family gathering happier than the McGrails. He. W. M. Wilson Hirlrken With Paralysis. a A report was received yesterday that W. H. Wilson of Mitchell, father of Mrs. B. S. Huntington, has had a severe stroke of paraly-Bis, and considerable anxiety is felt as to his condition. His son Parker, who received the news, left for Mitchell this morning. Latkb A letter received by Mr. and Mrs. Curtis confirms the above state ment. The further particulars are that Mr. Wilson was feeling much better and was quite sanguine when leaving Hot Springs after a pleasant stay of a week. On the 21st, when returning, Mr. Wil son fell over in the wagon, without a move or sound, and when Mrs. Wilson tried to litr him up he could not speak, and was unconscious. He lay in a stu por and haa not uttered a word since the fatal hour in which he was stricken. The doctor gives but little hope. Mrs. Wilson is a faithful attendant at the bedside and ha not undressed nor slept eince he was taken ill. Washing-ton Compares. We will bear a great deal said on the 4th about George Washington. That George was good boy and man nobody will deny. But simply because he didn't tell ft lio because be couldn't, doesn't entitle him to very much credit. Compare hi little hatchet and cherry tree experience with one of our town boys who killed an old hen, the mother of a brood of chickens, the other day. When George's father asked him about it, he simply answered: "Father, I cannot tell a lie, I done it with my little hatchet," while the boy of the period answered when asked by his mother if he killed the hen : "You betcher life; she was eating up the cabbage, and blow me if I didn't take ber napper." The boy could have lied, but he didn't ; and tho chances are that a hundred vears from now you won't hear his name mentioned, although his possibil ities are as bright as Washington's. Valley Transcript. Frallarowers' Meeting-. The meeting of fruitgrowers was called to order today by Mr. Win, Taylor, w ho stated that Mr. H. A. Clark of Salem was in attendance w ho w ould state some-1 thing of interest t thosu present upon the subject of fruit handling. Among those in attendance were Messrs. Emil S'ehanno, G. R. Snipes, W. H.Taylor and M.Hill of The Dalles, W. iruic in the market, and It was a matter in which he was especially interested. He stated that the Earle Fruit Co., of which he was representative to the producers, was a Los Angeles firm who made it a study and a business to supply all available markets with fruit, taking care to never overcrowd anyone market, thereby securing the highest prices for fruit. The senior member of the firm ia a young man of singular rapacity for the business, who ha handled as many a sixteen cars of fruit a day, and all the machinery of business is o conducted as to enable the fruit producers to secure tho highest market prices for fruit throughout the season. They furnish a man to instruct them in all the details, and the company furnish paper, boxes, etc., which is paid for only out of the re ceipts of sales. The firm have branch houses in Chicago and Kansas City, and are represented by agencies in Boston and New York. The business is so thor oughly conducted that a man if produc ing only one box of fruit, can load at the shipping point, and share the same ben efits and profits as the man who raises a carload. TRAPS FOR THE UNWARY. The Webs Which Washington Nhyatera VVnn for 8urkera. There are plenty of shysters and shy locks in the world who are perpetually laying traps toenenare the unsuspecting, and it may be laid down as an axiom : Never let a stranger who is abnormally anxious to assist you, get hold of your money. A homelier way of stating It is : Never bet on another man's game. Mr. C. D. Doyle of Dufur.wos shrewd enough to observe this point when he received a letter from an alleged law firm in Washington, D. C, and referred it to Senator Mitchell. Following are both letters: A -artful perusal may save some settler $23 : Washington, I). C, June 12, 1S92. C. U. Poyle, Esq. Dbab Sir We again address you rel ative to your claim for repayment of $1.25 per acre, arising from the forfeiture of the Northern f;citic grant from Wal- lula to Portland. We are certain that we can collect this amount for you by suit in the court of claims and us the claim is already old we urge you to send on the necessary authority without fur ther delay. We have found a way around the statute of limitations, but further delay will prejudice your case. We understand that there is an idea among those interested that congress will rolnntarily make these repayments and that there is no necessity for em ploying an attorney. Being on the ground and familiar with congressional matters we know that such a thing is impossible; and we are willing to take your claim with the understanding that should a bill be passed before we have secured final judgment in your favor we are to receive no fee whatever. As pay ment is always made by draft to order of claimant you have tfie whole matter in your hands. Our fee w ill be 25 per cent, strictly contingent, and we will pay all the expenses. Very respectfully, Harvev Spacxdinq & Soss. SENATOR hlTCflELL's KEl'LV. PoBTLAxn, Or., June 23, 1892. C. D. Dovle, Esq., pufur, Waaco County, Or.

From a party who has just come over the old Barlow road it is learned that there are lo miles of enow from one to ten feet deep on the Barlow road, near the Summit. Two small bands of horses, which were being driven across, were turned loose near the snow line, wafting for it to disappear. There has been no snow on this route at this sea son for many years. An ocean steamship 700 feet long and driven by 40,000 horse power is tho latest project in marine architecture. It is said that the new steamer will make 27 knots an hour. The building of hngn monsters for naval use has re ceived a serious check in the disaster which has overtaken one of England's crack battleships. It is to 1 hoped that the limit may bo reached in the buildinit of ships for the merchant ma rine before the lesson of oversize is learned in the equally disastrous school of experience. Ilnfur News.

Hrhool Picking I' at. The good people of Fairfield assembled en masse at their school house Saturday afternoon at the examination of one of the best sessions of school that haa ever been had since there was a school dis trict. Our country school as a general thing are dwindling down until they are nearly extinct for want of children to attend them. Fairfield has had her share of falling off but is now on the mend, and the outlook is rather en rouraging as to numbers, and when the parents all turn out as they did yester day, it looks' still more hopeful. Well the fact is, they have an excellent teacher, Miss Emily House, who haa given the best of satisfaction to her patrons and deserves well, of all inter ested in the education of the rising gen eration. Two cars of fat cattle were shipped from Saltmarshe's stock yards today to Bulter & Co., Port Townsend. The Huntress, shortly after the acci dent sustained just below the falls, commenced taking water and waa beached near Bonneville, and is now sunk. The Oklahoma is trying to raise her. The wharf boat was also hit by a rock and commenced leaking, but was saved. Stein's Pillow is a rectangular rock 20 to 40 feet in diameter, that rises to a height of 250 to 700 feet, according to different estimates. It is larger at the top than at the bottom, and stands in the pine timber on the south bank of Mill creek, about eighteen miles east of Prineville, Crook county. One of the best schools in Crook county is the one taught by Miss Phro nia Sullivan at the Claypool school house on Ochoco creek. Although taught in the district school house, this is purely a subscription school. Miss Sullivan has an enrollment of twenty, but only eighteen in attendance. Seven of these are boys and eleven are bright little girla. On the fourth page is an advertise ment showing how a first-class magazine can be secured at small cost in connec tion with The Chronicle. McClure'a Magazine is a new publication in all respects the peer of any high-priced magazine published. Glance at the list of authors in the advertisement in ques tion, which speaks more eloquently than any words ot ours can. Captain Sweeney, U. S.
