The lily recorder had u nice little lumily party of twelve before him this ui'irning. Seven admitted being drank, two were discharged, two bad their ex aminations continued until thin evening and the other fellow wax the glass breaker. A the chuneeh of the Wilson bill be ing defeuted improve the price of wool advances. One sale was made today at nine end one eight renin, the highest price reached thin season. Yesterday we uiulerNtund the liest price paid wan eight C'.llltH. IjinI night a trilie of Improved Order uf Red Men wun organised here, consist ing of ("oino thirty uieinberN. The in stitution km aitdly needed here, as the present order of red nieu are not up to that atandard where no improvement ittiile made. The first through train from the east arrived thin morning at 10 o'clock. The last gup to the east of ua wai cloned last night, and though the roud ia not in good condition it ia passable, and just a fait n men can do it, it will 1 put in first class shape. F. M. Schuiert it the name of the irascible German who smashed the Umatilla house windows last night. Ha was up before the city recorder this murning charged with being drank and diaordyrly, and was given the bigheHt . penalty the recorder had on band, thirty days in juil and fifty dollars fine. Reports from Astoria are to tho effect that another big run uf salmon is coin ing. A single drift with one net yielded It.IitMi pounds fur one man, while four others brought iu 10,000 pounds. As it takes the fish about two weeks to reach this point from Astoria, the run will be too late to do much good here, tho fish ing seasou ending August 10th. We print elsewhere Mr. Condon's Htutemunt that the Gypsy got through all right, and that the passengers en joyed the trip. Incoming passetigers on the Regulator brought (lie story hero Mondny night that she was tied up at Kl inilo point. The presumption is that they saw the Kowena and mistook her (or the Gypsy. This was quitea natural intake, yet it shows the fallacy of jumping at conclusions. The steward and several of the wait ers, four in ulL, from the Dalles City uncliidyd they would take a bath Mon day in the warm springs above the lower Cuacudca. They took with them sev eral demijohns for the purpose of bring ing back some of the water. As the time for the bunt to leave arrived, a vigorous tooling of the whistles was kept up for half an hour, but finally the boat had to pul! out and leave two of them, the other two finding their vay hack. Yesterday morning, after spend the night ia the woods, the others found their way over the ridge and down to the Regulator landing. The effects would not have been worse had tliedem deuiijohtis contained the pure old bug juice. TnurxlH)' I'oily Firemun'sclectioii, Augustoth. Don't forget it. The Regulator took down quite a largo shipment of wool this morning. lUininess in the land oflice is rather thick owing to everybody being at work. It is proper for our boys to get to the front now and lot the public know whether we are to have ball club or not. Quito a lurgo party of I'ortlandites came up ou tho Regulator to White Salmon, lust night and wont out to Trout lako. The sheriffs deputies are busily en gaged tn preparing the delinquent tax roll for publication. It will Ui printed next week. Yesterday the chain-gang was the. largest we ever saw in Tho Dalles, thero being at least a donen men at work on the slroets. Judge r.radshaw writes from the sea ide that be is digging clams and having grand time, from which we infer he is much happier than the proverbial clam, ven though that sqoirtolent bivalve be high roller at high tide. The river Is still 20 5 feet above low water mark. This itself is a pretty fair high water, but in the light of the 59.7 it looks like dead low water. Fall grain is ripe, and the headers and elf binders are putting It away in great shape. The crop is now out of danger, and will show up a phenomenally large one. The Mazamaa, having successfully scaled Mt. Hood, now proiose to leave their hoof-prints on the eternal snows of Mt. Jefferson's neva. It is said to be a hard mountain to climb, but all things are KMuble to a Mszama. W. F. Ilorrin, chief counsel for the Southern Pacific railroad, and who is at present managing the company's de fense in the snits brought against it bv the U. 8. government, 1 the brother of D. C. Herrln of this city. Unite a mini her of men discharged by the Union Pacific are still tin paid, and are very much dissatisfied thereat. We do not pretend to say where the blame lies, but that the men should have their money cannot be denied. Hon. A. R. Uyrkett of Hood River, who has a fine ranch at White Salmon und one of the finest herds of Jerseys in the Northwest, has moved all his cattlo out to Trout lake on account of the grass drying up near the Columbia. Commencing Monday The Chiioniclk will be printed in the building one door north of the express office. The ma chinery and plutit will tie moved Satur day afternoon, which will compel us to get the paper out early on that day. Our neighbors over in Washington are getting ready for the fall campaign. In Spokane the county central commit tee, republican, fixed the date for hold ing the county convention for Septem ber 17th, so that the race will be a short one. The sudden chunge in the weather yesterday did not suit some people, and we heard one man, who to our knowl edge hud been complaining of the heat for week, taking the country, the climate and B. S. Pugue to task because it was too cold. Orion Kinersly is responsible for the story that one of the victims of circum stauces which brought him before the city recorder, explained the fact of his lieing drank by saying that after be got a dozen drinks he felt like another fel low, and then the other fellow wanted a drink. The city recorder is still doing a good business, fifteen gentlemen of elegant leisure being up before him this morn ing charged with being drank and dis orderly, and two of them having the ad ditional charge of fighting to answer for. The were fined impartially, and are ru minating on the beauties of an overdose of corn extract. F.lder J. W. Jenkins will preach ut Dufur Sunday, July 2ltb. Subject of the morning discourse, "The Young People's Society of Christian Eudeavor; Its Origin, Design and Growth." All who are interested in the organization of a Union Society of Christian En deavor are requested to be present nt the evening service. The regular subscription price of the Wleki.y Chiionici.k is $1.50 and the regular pri of the Weekly Okkuoniah it $1.50. Any one subscribing for The Chiiomclk and paying for one year in advance can get both Tux Chuonici.e and the Wxfcki.Y Oiieooman for 2.00. All old subscribers paying their sub scriptions a year in advance will be en titled to name odor. The city marshal ban fot-r men work ing on the streets today. There are a number doing time in tho city jail, but they object to working for the city. The marshal has udopted a rule of no work, no eat, and those w ho refuse to work get three square meals, consisting of bread and water. It is sale to say that none of them will want to get line in order to get boarded. Mr. Cohen, the proprietor of the alleged stage line running to Govern ment Camp from Portland, is the author of the lie telegraphed over the state, to the effect that the stage bad beou robbed and the driver killed. As a liar Cohen can no longer be classed as an amateur. He by a single leap reached the summit as a professional. Should somo stage robber take a center shot at him we will cheerfully write hiui an obituary that will make him glad that be is dead. Friday's lmuy. John Fitzgerald, the genial janitor uf the courthouse, is painting the iron fence around the courthouse yard. Ho is making it a deep glossy black, he says to suit the now oflicers. The train arrived from the east this morning in time for the passengers to take the boat. In coiiHequenco the Regulator had a largo passenger list, as yesterday's train was late. Tho city marshal lias had a do.en of his best men at work on Second street today, as we suggest elsewhere, and the improvement is wonderful. The city ought to set up the beer and got the Itoys full again. Wo have received several notes inquir ing concerning the railroad situation, many farmers being anxious about the graiu shipments. To all those we would say that tho O. R. & N. l being repaired as fust as men and money enn do it, and that it will be finished in time to move the wheat crop to market. The mana gers expect to have the road in running order by the 10th of August, and while they may be over tangaine, it is certain that three weeks at the almost will see the trains again running. The Huntington Herald is of the opinion that it does not add to the dig nity of the federal court to employ Chinese and Japs on the Union Pacific road in Idaho, when white men could be secured to take their places. A heading crew in the Goodnoe mills, Klickitat county, struck lust Saturday for an Increase in wages. They had been getting $1 a day and demanded $1.50. As there was no chance to re place them, the farmers had to stand the raise. A meeting was held this morning for the purpose ot taking steps to organize a company, and starting a a cannery, to handle fish and fruits. Mr. Hugh Glenn was made president of the meeting, and on motion appointed a committee to re port on location, etc., this evening. Quite a lot of piling has been sent down the flume, and is now lying lieside the track at the Columbia hotel. It will be loaded on the cars and used be tween this place and Hood Riveras soon as the Mill creek trestle is finished, which will probably le tomorrow, if the work is continued. The city marshal yesterday provided such of his prisoners as would work w ith rakes and shovels and put them at work removing the rocks and rubbish from Third street. The work was well done, and the street is much improved. Sec ond street is now getting in condition to be worked, and a small dose of the same treatment would lie a great benefit to it. This morning two wagons containing eight ppople passed through town bound for Hood River. Tho primary object is to have a few days' rest and recreation in the shade of the big oaks, and by the cool mountain streams, and this will be supplemented by harvesting a few bush els of the delicious wild blackberries that ripen on the loothillsof that favored locality. Hon. D. P. Thompson, who passed through The Dalles a day or two ago, was returning from a viflit to his wheat patch in the Palouse country, and was not looking after the seat in the senate at present occupied by the Hon. J. X. Dol ph. Mr. Thompson will harvest something like 200,000 bushels of wheat, this year, but then it is a pretty good year for wheat. Besides it ia pretty generally admitted that Mr. Dolpb Las a grip on the senatorial arm chair that no Oregunian can loosen. A Wild Ceieylle. Yesterday evening about 8 o'clock, while a crowd of guests were sitting on the porch at the Umatilla house, a sawed-off square-built little fellow, evi dently a German, came out of the office door with a chair in his hands and with out further notice than to "get away," swung the chair around and smashed a window. The gentlemen sitting by the windows were evidently rattled, for in stead of stopping the fellow they all got away while be continued the work of destruction, until one after another five of the windows had been broken. Night watchman Gibons happened to be in the house and rushing out collared the irate little fiend, who dropped the chair, and when Ralph gave bim one shake that loosened his joints und tongue be became very humble, declared himself a friend of bis and wanted to shake hands. The whole thing was done so quickly that those present had not recovered from their surprise until Ralph had the fellow on the way to jail. It seems the man is, or was a Coxeyite, and has just been released from the camp in Idaho, and was given a pass over the U. P. to Portland. This, of course, did not cover the trip on the Regulator, and so last night be went into the telegraph office and asked Mr. Johnson for a pass on the boat. The latter told him he couldn't give him a pass, whereupon the Coxeyite said he would "have to stand the conse quences," and at once went outside and commenced work on the windows. 4'lnaet th Wrong Hank Kuitok Chronicle : I notice iu your issue of yesterday a statement that the Arlington National bank bad closed its doors. This is a mistake as the Arling ton National is in good shape, Iirs not closed, and will not. It was the First National that went dow n. G. V. Bolton. We are pleased indeed to correct the statement. We took particular psins to trace the report to what we considered reliable authority, but our informant being iu error nulurallv we got iu too. This is the first bank we were ever able to muke a run on sufficient to close it, and this was entirely unintentional. Kenl Itatate Movement.

Hood River eople, or some of them at least, have an apparently well grounded superstition that a certain ranch on the east side of the river has a curse hanging over it. The place formerly belonged to Claus Hoeck, w ho died several yeur ago. Soon after his; death his son hanged himself to a tree i on the place, and since the little ranch has been neglected and deserted, each cf the families moving onto It meeting with misfortune, nntil the pl-tce cot a bad name. Several vears ago D. K. I Ordway purchased the pluce, and about two years ago moved on to it. Soon after Mr. Ordway moved on the place, a valuable team of young horses belonging to bim ran away, one of them being killed, and the other ruined. A few months later, bis hone and nearly all the contents burned. Then Mr. Ordway got sick and after a month's confinement in bis bed, almost the first time he got out of it, he fell, breaking his arm and otherwise Injuring himself, and toon after died. Misfortune however was not done with following the dwellers on the farm for about a month ago the oldest boy, aged about 15, was drowned, and Tuesday yet another accident befell them. Another son aged about 12 years was riding horseback into Hood River, and when a mile from homo his horse shied, throwing him heavily to the ground. Fortunately Mr. Hans Lagc and his daughter Mrs. Mita Byrkett, who were on their way to town, saw the accident and went to the boy's assistance. He was unconscious, so putting bim in their buggy they drove rapidly to M. V. Rand's place where after an hour and a halfs work they were rewarded by the lad's becoming again conscious. It is likely the boy is not seriously injured, but it was very cloee cull. And now the wonder is, in what shape the next misfortune will come. Eastern Oregon Weather anri 'ruf. The temperature has remained high throughout the week, the mean ranging from 70 to 76 degrees, and the maxi mum from 84 to 90 degrees. There was no rainfall, except a local rain in Baker and adjoining counties on the afternoon of the 23d. At Baker City 0.44 of an inch of ruin fell. Fall sown w heat is dead ripe through the Columbia river valley, and the headers are at work. Considerable threshing has been done, and tho grain is plump and large. There have been hot north and nortbest winds witbin the past ten days that have been slightly injurious to the spring sown wheat. Practically all wheat is too far advanced to be .materially injured by the hot winds. Barley is a good crop and oats promise well. The corn would be bene fited by more rain, though it is at pres ent growing very well. Late spring frosts damaged the fruit, and now the hot weather is causing the same to fall. The farmer are all busy in their har vesting operations. In the counties south of the Columbia river valley the crop is alx-'-it ready to cut. Alfalfa will be a very heavy crop. The grain has a good growth, and no fear are enter tained of any damage being done by the hot winds. The wool is being hauled to the warehouses. Throughout East ern Oregon the rejiorts indicate that the wheat crop will be the largest on record. The hay crop hu' been good and cattle are in Cue condition. The w heat crop of the state will equal or exceed any former crop as to quantity and quality. B. S- Pac.uk, ljcal Forecast Official, in charge. Klj Wheat Crop. The editor of the Wasco News, writing up a iiip through Sherman county says : "We found Al Murchie cutting a crop of volunteer that will average at least thirty bushels per acre. The truth is, we have never seen such immense crops all over the county. On driving out on the bills, as far as the eye could reach headers could bo seen at their work ; and that by the score. We noticed most of them were running from three to four wagons, and were not kept busy then. The quality of the grain that is now being cut is of the very best. It is as plump as any. and ought to com mand a price equal with valley wheat. Spring w heat is only beginning to ripen, and It is coming to the front wonder fully. We noticed several fields which we believe w ill equal fall-sown or vol unteer." riivrc Wi Nothing la It. The Dali-ks, July 25th, 1894. Kuitok Chronicle : In your issue of jesterduy an item headed "A Foolish Trip," needs correction, which no doubt you will gladly give in order to keep up Tuk Chronicle's reputation for truth und veracity. The Inland Star did get to the Cas cades tl;a 23d, and did not tie up at 13 mile point, or any where else for the night on account of the rough sea or for any other reason. The party I took down enjoyed the trip and found their train at Cascades as expected. Yours very truly, J. W. Conuos.

WASHINGTON LETTER. r'tnm our regulur forrcafMinaent. Washington, July 20, 1894. Senator Gorman is not ono of the sen ate conferees on the tariff bill, but he is credited by the cuckoos with being re sponsible for the action of the senate conferees in standing out stubbornly for the retention of the senate amendments to the tariff bill and forcing the disa greement report that has been made to the house, in the faee of the influence of Mr. Cleveland and his administra tion, which has been openly used to bring about a surrender upon the part of the senate eonlerees on all of the im portant senate amendments, and par ticularly upon those putting a duty on sugar, iron and coal. Doubtless Senator Gorman is perfectly willing to accept this responsibility, but as a mat ter of fact he and the few democratic senators who aided him in putting a duty on iron ore and coal, thus saving two of our greatest industries from the utter destruction intended by Mr. Cleve land and the free traders, are in this matter merely the representatives of the great business und industrial interests of the country, which have plainly in dicated that as a choice of two evils the tariff bill as amended by the senate is far preferable to the original Wilson bill, to which the democratic conferees of the house wish to return. As the matter looks at this writing the free traders of the house w ill have to choose ' between accepting the most important of the senate amendments and no tariff legislation at this session, and it is not yet certain which they will take. The republicans ure wide awake and will take advantage of the situation if an op portunity be gien them. What they wish most to do is. of course, to kill the tariff bill outright, bat failing in that, they stand ready to help keep every senate amendment which puts a duty on articles made free by the Wilson bill, or raises the duty named in the Wilson bill. Things look very favorable to their succeeding in the last if they fail in the first. The Bailey bankruptcy bill, which passed the house early this week, is not likely to be popular with creditors, as no matter how hopelessly man's busi ness may be involved, he cannot be com pelled by creditors to take any action. He must do so voluntarily or not at all. This may be an improvement on no na tional bankruptcy law at all, but it is such a small improvement that it is doubtful whether the senate will ever pass the bill in its present shape. The democratic bosses ure considera bly ularmed at the probable defection of a number of democratic congressmen from the South. There has been con siderable talk on the subject, but it was not until this week that the revolt really showed its head. Representative Den son of Alabama, who has been in bis district for a week 6r ten days, has written a letter formally announcing his intentions to leave the democratic j party and to affiliate with the populists, and others are expected to fo'low Biiit. Republican are not greatly interested in the revolt, us the solid south has not been allowed to play any part in their congrescioiial calculations, although they would not object to anything that promised even remotely to bring about fairer election methods in the south, which can only come after the over throw of the autocratic authority of the democratic party in that section. It is easy to tell that this is congres sional election year by the buncombe resolutions and bills introduced in con gress solely for vote-catching purges. To this class 'belongs the joint resolu tion offered by Senator George, of Miss issippi, providing for an amendment to the constitution of the I in ted States making eight hours constitute a legs! day's work for all persons doing mannal labor. How Mr. George's Mississippi planter friends, who work their "hands" from "sun up to sou down" all the year, must appreciate his alleged efforts to lighten the burden of those engaged in manual labor. Senators Gray and Lindsay, the dem ocratic members of the committee that investigated the sugar trust scandal, placed themselves in very unenviable positions, when they voted against a re opening of the investigation, to ascertain the truthfulness of a statement asserting that an original order given by Senator Camden, of West Virginia, for the pur chase of a block of sugar trust stock wu in existence; also a photograph of that order. It but proved the charge that the democratic members of the com mittee had never had any desire to un cover anything reflecting upon demo cratic senators, although it did not pre vent a reopening of the investigation. Senator Camden swore that he bad ever purchased any sugar stock, and if it can be proven that he did the com mittee should lose no time in placing the facts before the United Statee dis trict attorney in order that the grand jury may find an indictment for perjury. United States senators are Just a amendable to law as other men. Cab. PERSONAL MENTION. Weduendny Mr. McGuire of Hood River is visiting; his daughter, Mrs. Allison. Hon! D. P.
