Waller Norman celebrated hi 16th birtbilay by a party at the residence of bit parent last night. The entertain ment, consisted of music, games, lunch, etc., and the usual good time w as bad. The subject of the sermon at the Christian church tonight Is : "The Ev idence of I'ardon, or The Knowledge of the Remission of Sins." If you fail to bear every other sermon, don't fail to hear this one. A tale never lose anything by travel. A f"w week ago Tub Ciibonk i.i told of Klein's dog driving away a couple of tra:o -. The Wallowa Chieftain has it : "A mother water spaniel drove two cougars away from Sam Klein' store at The Dalles." Of Mr. Kellogg and his art, it seemed the audience could not tire. The beaa tiful and thrilling note be ottered, seemed hardly possible for any man to produce. Brooklyn Standard. Mr. KelloKkT will concert in t- M. E. church, Sept. 23d. Yoo slioul i not fail to bear him. A Vancouver paper says that rival team were endeavoring to spike their kose befure the run. This is nntrne. Tos visitor were nicely treated and they were kind enough to say so. Because a ars. "paper reports a sporting event is no mi ton why it should adopt the bluff, j t;uter and vulgarity of an exclusive police news publication. I A gentleman recently from Australia, informs us that the expense of raising abeep iu Australia Is nearly nothing and that Australia wool can be laid down in Boston at a profit to the producer at rents per pound. When that can be done at the extremely low price named, what is to become of America's wool in dustry? It must have protection or go to the wall. WedneMlHy'i ltl!y, Hon. W. R. Kllis has placed us under obligations for a supply of garden seeds. At Ileppner Judge Eradshaw sen tenced Noah Mulkey for six years for manslaughter. The press report of the naming of President Cleveland's new baby was premature. She is to be christened Esther. Notwithstanding all the money that ba been paid by the taxpayers of the city for rntting thistles, there are enough left about town to seed the state. Mr. Winter, who wus sitting in the caboose at the time the train was so suddenly stopped Tuesday, was violently thrown to the end of tlie car. He fortunately escaped serious injury. A special meeting of the citv council was held last night for the purpose of drawing a warrant in payment for the rock crusher. The warrant amounted to f 742, being the city's share of said expenditure. J. Randall brought in a plum branch this morning which is loaded with fruit in a miraculous manner. Within the space of a foot there are over forty plums upon it, and the twig weighs aliout four pounds. One of the wrecked freight cars con tained millinery goods, chiefly women's hats, which are blow ing about the coun try, and Indian women are finding many rare prizes to adorn themoelves with the coming fall and w inter. Mrs. Chapman brought in some mam moth potatoes this moVning from the "Itt farm about twelve miles distant from the city. They were raised on phenomenally rich piece of bottom land. One potato weighs a pound and thirteen ounces. The subject of the sermon this even ing at the Christian church will be "Love aa a Regulator," with many il lustrations showing that love regulates us in all the relations of life. Tlie audi ences are large and the interest is in creasing with every service. Five ac cessions last evening. The highwayman ho held up Uie Ayer stage Sunday afternoon stopped the same stage Tuesday. He relieved two Chinese passenger of !K) and re turned to the driver two pension drafts, part of the spoils of Ms first adventure. Tlie express box and mail pouches he left untouched this time. The Milton Eagle yery truthfully ays: "A newspaper might bestow complimentary notice upon some peo ple all through life and they would never say boo ! Then let on item ap lar that isn't intended to cast any re flection upon them whatever, but is horded so that a misconstruction is placed on it meaning' anil it will toui-li offtlifir anijiT ami tliey liuMen to ilo clar the editor the meanest man on earth."

"Oh, help In my vrent extremity," The maiden fondly rrled. "Kitftlt 111 my Hue," Immediately The cbiropudint replied. The fish catch is lighter than antici pated. Camping parties are nearly all re turned. The hottest part of the season has passed. Indians jre arriving with huckleber ries. The crop this year was large. The moving of the wheat will soon solve the financial stringency, for this section at least. Two cars of beef cattle will be shipped tonight to Whatcom from Saltmarsh fc Co.'s stock yards. Now is the time to subscribe for Tin Chromcli and get fifteen month's sub script ionor $1.50. This year' fruit crop is better in qual ity than ever before, and except peaches, fully as great in qcantity. The Ooldendale schools opened Mon day. The pupils enrolled number 2:to. Five female teachers are engaged and not a male teacher is employed. Mr. Robt. Rand of Hood River has sold his Mt. Hood hotel to Mr. ("has. Bell, of the Oregon Lumbering Com pany, who will take possession Monday next. Mr. W. J. Speichinger of Pry Hollow has brought in a branch from a 3-year-old pear tree w hich has six fine large Bartletts upon it, which is on exhibi tion at this office. After every great calamity comes a re action. Next year this time wheat will bring 75 cents a bushel and wool 15 cents a pound, and silver dollars will be as plentiful as flies iu August. Iepaty I'. S. Marshal Seeley yester day arrested Iennis Lancton for selling liquor to Indians. The prisoner is a discharged private of two armies the U. S. and the Salvation cohorts. There are 50 per cent, less privy vaults unconnected with sewers this year than last, and as a consequence the foul smells that assailed the noses of citizens last summer are this year conspicuously absent. The freight wreck waa quite disastrous to the U. P. Company. Most of the wrecked cars were burned. Some of them were burned purposely, and the flames spread to others which it was not intended to destroy. Thos. Adams recently counted twenty melons on one of his musk-melon vines, all larger than a cocoa nut.

The Post and Relief Corps of this place have been invited to participate. It is designed that the rock crusher shall crush about 200 or 300 tons of rock where it is at present, for the use of tlie city, when the county will have the use of it for a month, moving it to another quarry. Every rod of good road made witli it adds that much prosperity to the city or county. The rock crusher is one of the wisest investments ever made. G. H. Riddell came in town this morning, and a black horse which has been raised as a pet, became frantic on noticing that he was left behind. Though hobbled, be broke his chains, jumped a fence or two, and flew madly townward. He hapjiened to come a different route than the one by which Mr. Riddell returned, and our marshal impounded him. He was afterwards released without charges upon a proper explanation. The subject of the sermon at the Christian church this evening will be: "The Course to Pursue to Re Infallibly Safe; or, Sincerity Seeking the Way to Heaven." The design of the discourse Is to answer all the puzzling, perplexing question of infidelity and divided Christianity, so as to leave the honest inquirer infallibly safe. There will be a lot of question answered publicly every evening. Special musical program for this evening. . . A Iemtd Stranger. A stranger named Jfpne came into Hood River thi week and by his queer acting It was evident he was Insane. He is a member of the (. A. R. organization and has lately come from Idaho, where he has a family. He will be brought to the city on the Regulator this evening by Ir. Brosius, and an examination will be made of his mental condition. NO. 24 WRECKED. Klevrn Freight ara I. eft the Track and Twenty llvru-a Killed. The freight train wreck, mention of which wan iiiado yesterday in Tiik Oiumsu i k, occurred at 1 o'clock p. in. aisiut a mile ami a half this side of l'.!a lock. A boulder coming down from the mountain side, struck a mil and nroke u, nut in sucn a manner as not to be noticed by the engineer. The engine I .. i . ,r ,) horses, shipped by Mr. J. R. Winter of 1 rineville yesterday morning, men tioned in Tiik Ciikoniclk as having left for Indiana. The car containing the horses was turned bottom side op and twenty out of the twenty-four were killed. Train hands have been working at the scene of the wreck all night and a wreck ing crew left this morning w ith a large nnmbcr of extra men to assist in clear ing it up. The passenger train was de layed about two hours, at which time the track was fixed sufficiently good to pass. At this time there were yet seven freight cars off the track. The wrecked train was No. 24, east-bound. Twlr a Week. Hard times does not deter Tux Chron icle from being enterprising. Believ ing that the readers of its weekly edition would be better served by sending out the new printed in the early part of the week, it now issues the weekly in two parts, so that the people will get them Wednesdays and Saturdays. It is vir tually a semi-weekly, and is almost double the value of a weekly alone. That our efforts to please are appre ciated is shown by the already increased nnmber of subscribers. Some of the features are : A low price for the paper. A concise and full market report. Washington correspondence. Country correspondence. Itemized Oregon news. Itemized world's news. Full local news. Valuable hints to the producers. Home advertisements. The last named are valuable to any one who w ill make them so, and should he read by all with whom the saving of money is an object. A careful weekly perusal of the advertisements in The Ciikonk le will save many times the cost of the paper in the course of a year. As long as the rule of supply and de mand holds good, so long will adver tisements be valuable and tlie shrewd profit by reading them. Tub Ciikoniclk is only Jl.50 a year, a bit a month, and no family in Wasco county can afford to be without it. Subscribe now and get four months' sub scription free. Ik) not wait if you do not happen to have the money. filow Froarsss. A recent issue of the Spokane Review says : "For years the dilatory practices of those in charge of the work at the Cas cades have been as a thorn in the flesh to the settlers of the Inland Empire, who, with one of the most magnificent waterways on the continent at their very doors, have been unable to take advan tage of it because of obstructions hich should have been overcome years ago. While the extent of river opened by these locks is small compared with the hundreds of miles of navigable water that stretch away to the eastward of Celilo, yet direct benefit will result to thousands of farmers, while thous ands will be indirectly benefited. There is no doubt that when steamers are en abled to reach the sea from The Dalles the ciy for further improvements of the Columbia above that point will become so clamorous that relief in some shape will be granted. When this is done the eastern part of Washington, together with western Idaho, will feel a decided impetus in the march of progress which nothing else can give. A Fiend Htlll at Large. A Spokane special says : George Mu loch, charged with criminal assault upon his daughter, is still a fugitive. Officers got on hi trail last night and ran him into the mountains east of the city. Muloch's son, who aided him to escae by driving him in a buggy out of the city, was found returning last night, having taken blankets and focd to bis father. He (was made to confess bis hiding place, and the officer quickly formed a circle, and now claim they have him rounded up in the timber. The officer are moving with precaution, a Muloch i well armed and it i known that he will fight desperately lie fore he w ill submit to arrest. Ip tot late hour Muloch had not been cap t n red. The Cuming Entertainment. Chas. P. Kellogg, the bird warbler, is accompanied by his wife, whose singing is said to be thoroughly charming. The Wilmington (Del.) Graphic says: "She is an artist in every sense of the word, and her work shows careful and thor ough training. At the close of her se lection she was greeted with a perfect storm of applause. She showed the wonderful control she had over her passcu over saieiy, imv tne car nemnu i wouni suspect mat sne could hope to ar left the track, and the following ones ! rest the fading out process by becoming, piled upon and around it, eleven of i like California, an agricultural state, them leaving the track, which were So long as Nevada was the great silver wrecked or badly splintered.

Nevada i the oniv state in the union that has decreased in wealth and pop ulation during the last decade and, con- siuermg tier reputation as part of till) few persons "great American desert, ii ... . i ... the future of her arid soil. She pro- duced more than ,40,000,000 of gold and silver in 1875. By 1880 her production was reduced to 17,300,000, and by 188!) to 19,600,000. The census of 18!K) showed that she had lost more than 20 per cent, of her population in ten years. Her assessed wealth had greatly de creased, and in almost every material respect she was poorer than when she entered the union in 18C9. Her popula tion of 46,000 wag 150,000 below the pop ulation of a congressional district. So long as Nevada was regarded simply ac a great silver mine her arid soil was esteemed useless for agricultural purpo ses. A few river valleys were produc tive but enormous, almost rainless, areas grew nothing but sagebrush. When the mines began to lessen their output, the Chinese, those Bedouins of the west, be gan to emigrate to newer mining dis tricts along with miners, prospectors and all sorts of loosely attached persons. Some men who had the instinct of local attament advocated irrigation of the arid soil and for years it was tried with success on small areas. Nevada has now about 1,400 farms, and of these about 1,200 are irrigated in whole or in part. It has been tound that the pro duce per acre of corn, wheat, oats, bar ley, potatoes and hay grown upon ir rigated lands in Nevada is much above the average of such products throughout the country, as a whole, and higher than inflkoany states of much reputed fertility. Nevada stands among the ten or twelve highest states in the produc tion of potatoes per acre planted, and half a dozen states east of the Alle gbenies are below her in the average production of wheat per acre. The cost of irrigation in Nevada is lower than in several other arid regions of the west, and the variety of climate in the State makes possible a remarkable variety of vegetable products. Nevada's area of more than one hundred thousand square miles extends from about the parallel that runs through Spartansburg, South Carolina, to that which rung through Hartford, Connecticut. Oranges and other semi-tropical fruits flourish in the southern triangle with the so-called Mojave Desert on the one side and the Colorado River on the other, Nevada cuts little or no figure as yet in the aggregate of the country's agri cultural products, but she has demon strated her ability to grow crops wher ever tlie land can be irrigated. When she shall really undertake to becomo an agricultural state, she will have one ad vantage over some new agricultural re gions in possessing a railway system, an inheritance from the days when she out stripped all the rest of the country in her output of silver. The Volume of Niagara. The amount of water passing over Niagara Falls must, of course, vary with the eason. Prof. W. D. Gunning, who has spent much time and labor in mak ing careful estimates, says that the aver age amount which tumbles over the great cataract for every minute, day and night, "year in and year out,'' is 18, 000,000 cnbic feet. Allowing sixty-two 1-2 pounds to the cubic foot, this would give a total of 562,500 tons of the water per minute. About two thirds of the whole passes over that portion known as the Horseshoe falls. Prof. R. W. Thornton's estimates put it at 100,000, 000 tons per hour for both falls. St. Louis Republic. The Kellogg Concert. The concert at the Congregational church by the Kelloggs, husband and wife, assisted by familiar local talent, called out a large audience and a cordial one. Perhaps the greatest musical in terest centered in the work of the new contralto. Mrs. Emily Stuart Kellogg, who in a way is a phenomenal singer. Her range, as illustrated by her num bers, was from bass E to high soprano A. The quality is of the heaviest con tralto timbre, which is well carried up ward to her superior limit without a flaw. It is full, rich and musical, mas culine, but exquisitely fine and beauti ful in the soft passage. Tlie method of tone production has excited some criti cism as being a style applicable only to one of her peculiar characteristics, and for her one would not have one note otherwise. Her school Is French, with all the charm that obtains with the Paris bred. Her presence is attractive, her manner winsome, her mobile face delightfully expressive and she is di'tmstic to her finger tips. Of course Mr. Kellogg, the whistler, the greatest living, was marvellous in his way and "held the audience spell bound." Oakland Enquirer.

The Orcein state weather bureau, iu co-operation with t!. weather bureau of the United Stares department of agri culture, the central oilice of which is in Portland, ban issued the following crop ami weather bulletin for the week end ing September 12th, 183: KASTKKM OHKOOS. Wkatiikk Showery weather has con tinued since the 8th of September. Thunder storms occurred in the moun tainous districts ; they aro generally at tended by hail. The mean temperature of the week was 01 degrees, which is six degrees below the normal. There was a deficiency of sunshine and tlie rainfall averaged 0.55 of an inch, which is largely in excess of the normal. Tho dense smoke, caused by numerous forest fires, has disappeared and the atmosphere is once more pure and healthful. Cuoi-s Threshing has temporarily ceased owing to the dampness of the straw. There remains considerable work for the headers in sections where the grain was sown late. Growing crops have receired great benefits by the rain. Vegetables have been especially ben efitted. Pastures have improved so that the prospect for sufficient grass on the range in good. Stock are fat and beef cattle are plentiful. There appears to be less damage done to fruit than wag first estimated. Tender plants were in jured by a frost which occurred on the 9th. The second crop of alfalfa has been secured, and farmers are prepared to enter the winter season with well filled barns. Schedule of Expenditures.
