The scarcity of locals in this issue is
not due to dullness or anything of that
kind. The truth of the whole matter Is
that 1). C. H err In took a photograph of

We are requested by the board of
directors of the I). P. A A. N. Co. to
tate that their boats will continue to
run as long as the river remains open.
There have beon several unfounded
rumors in circulation to the effect that
the boat would tie up soon, hence the
necessity of the above statement. The
boat were put on the river to stay, and
the company has no intention of doin
anything with them except to continue
to run them.
City Marshal Blakeney yesterday ar
rested a couple of "ladies," one being

The Hood River schools opened yes
terday with a large attendance. It
looks now as though the new school
house would not be built there until
spring. The delay was caused by some
oversight in not certifying that the
bonds were filed with the county treas
urer. By the time the money would be
available now the weather will prevent
the work being done.
Yesterday was the beginning of the
open season for salmon and the catch
here was quite good. There is a heavy
run of silversides and some chinooks.
The fall catch gives promise of being the
liest we have had in a number of years.
As the river goes down it shows that
quite a change has beon made in the
channel. At the wharf where last year
the ground was bare, the water is now
twenty-six fuet deep. The cribbing and
piers of the old wharf, built years ago,
have again come to the surface, owing
to the sand being washed away. It is
quite probable that bad the grade down
Court street, across the sand bar, not
been built, the whole bar on this side
would have been washed away.
The Regulator was an hour late this
morning in leaving her dock owing to
tho fact that she had a flock of sheep to
load after hr leaving time. The miser
able animals drive round and round like
Mark Twain In the Niagara whirlpool
and while continually moving never get
any plane. A man who engages in driv
ing sheep needs to get a firm grip on his
religion before he starts in, and the
chances are then he will swear like a
pirate before the very first time he un
dertakes to drive a sheep into an en
closure. Keaolutlon of Condolence.
The following resolutions of comm
ence were adopted at a special meeting
of Jackson Engine Co., No. 1, held Sep
tember 8, 1894, at The Dalles, Or. :
Wiikukah, The Supreme Ruler of ihe
universe has in His infinite aisdom

much-loved and honored citizen and
member of our company, be it
Rtmhed, That it is with a feeling of
profound sorrow thut we as citizens and
flreuien view the demise of our brother

A. McLeod's header headed thirty
acres last Friday on Charles Fraley's
place. Who can beat that with a ten
foot header? The header was managed
by Ben Brown, who is an expert at the
tiller.
Threshing machines are scarce on the
ridge this year, and there would be a
good run here for two more machines.
All the grain threshed so far has turned
out well and the quality is extra good.
Our school started the first Monday of
September, with Miss Emma Vogt of
The Dalles, as teacher. Miss Vogt taught
a very successful spring term and started
with a good attendance this term.
Our Sunday Bchool is a success under
the able management of Sapt. J. I).
Whitten.
The health of the neighborhood is
good, no deaths or accidents to record,
our only trouble is the scarcity of money
and the low price of wheat, but we live
in hope that the long expected demo
cratic free trade bill will help us out of
our troubles. P.. C.

The Antelope Herald gives the follow
ing account of the manner in which
Barnard killed himself: "Tuesday
evening about 6 o'clock Barnard rode up
to his home, put up Lis horse and went
to the house. Ilia mother, a sinter, two
brothers and Cant Zachery were there.
He ate some pie, drank a cup of coffee
and seemed to relish it immensely.
This done, he informed the folks that he
had lived long enough and that he had
concluded to bring hie earthly existence
to a close. He said he had lived a man
and was going to die a man. He advised
the folka to live honest lives and to do as
near what was right as possible. Then
after bidding them all good bye he or
dered them to all go to the barn so they
would not bare to witness his death.
Of course they were completely dumb
founded and were reluctant about going,
but Jim was determined and they could
do nothing else than go. After they
were all in the barn Jim stepped inside
a small sleeping tent near the house and
placing the revolver to bis temple, blew
out his brains. Thus ends one of the
moat horrible deeds ever committed in
Eastern Oregon."
A Grand Knee.
The race between Robert L. and
Patchen at Indianapolis Thursday was
the grandest race of the kind on record,
both as to time and the equality of the
horses. Robert L. won the first heat in
2.03'4' and only won it by a nose. He
took the second heat in the fastest time
ever made, 2.02li', beating bis great rival
only three lengths, and the third heat in
2.0414, winning by only half a length.
Tho average time for the three heats was
2.03'-'j. In admiring the performance of
the king of the turf the work of Patchen
who is himself every inch a king, should
not be loat eight of. The year 181)4 ia a
rocord amasher in evory way.

J. E. Keys was in town today. He
in f ;rms us he will have completed a
large barn in Berry Way flat in a few
days ; also will have a fine crcp of hay
therein within ten days. Mr. Keys is
one of our moat deserving farmers and
stockmen.
You wonder what has become of one
correspondent. To be explanatory, a
good friend took pity on my sweltering
condition and carried me to their home,
a cool, shady nook far from the heat and
dust of our town ; a lovely quiet apot ; a
place to think and rest as the poplars
and locust give us sweet music to cheer
na as we sit under their quiet shade.
My friends ind-ed have a nice home,
situated on the I'rineville road, eight
miles from town, and admirably situ
ated for their business, stock raising.
Their place is well set in alfalfa, which
yields an abundance of hay for all their
requirements. An excellent orchard is
one of the adjuncts that is unusual on
most of the places in this section.
Rev. Mr. Baily of Prineville addressed
the people at Mr. Bransfield'a school
house. The aubject of hie discourse was
"The Footmen in the Race," as illus
trating the downward career of a human
creature when they once allow the de
mon, drink, to gain the ascendency.
His remarkB were excellent, and well
meant.
On my way to church I had time to
look about a little, and was surprised to
note the many Improvements in a few
years. Many comfortable homes have
sprung op where there was but a barren
waste a few years ago. Orchards are
being put Jout. Good fences and com
fortable houses are among the many
needed improvements. This Gable
creek locality, owing to its proximity to
the mountain, has the advantage in
soil of places lower down, as the soil is
much deeper and more of a loamy
nature that gives strength and vigor to
growing products, while the aoil lower
Deeds strengthening qualities added
yearly that the best results may be ob
tained. E. V. E.
Mitchell, Sept. 2, 1894.
The Kindergarten.
Thursday afternoon a meetine was
held in the Congregational church for
the purpose of ascertaining the practica
bility of starting a kindergarten. An
earnest and enthusiastic interest was
taken and a committee was appointed to
visit the parents mid find out what sup
port a competent kindergarten might
have.
Aa the kindergarten idea ia so new it
may be well to give a briei explanation
of its historv and aima: Frederick
Froebel, the originator of the system,
was a German. His entire life waa de
voted to educational interests and the
recollection of his own neglected child
hood led him to give special attention to
the education and care of the youngest
children, which resulted in bis beautiful
plane. Siuce bis death in 1652 the work
has se gained in public favor that nearly
every community in the United Statea
haa ita kindergartens, and even Turkey
and Japan are not behind.
Hie aim ot the kindergarten is an all
sided and harmonious development. It
appeals to the activity of children and
supplies the proper opportuuitiea for
mental, moral and physical growth.
The kindergarten lessona that are given
by means of gifts, (blocks and other
simple toys) appeal to the mind chiefly.
By means of these attractive playthings
the children's general intelligence, ob
servation and attentiou are so developed
that the mind is well prepared for
regular school work. The games, which
have each a deep moral purpose, are
always accompanied by music and pro
vide for tho physical development. The
work that the children do in folding and
cutting paper, etc., gives them another
vent for their activities and inculcates
habits of neatness, industry, persever
auce and thought for others, as the
work is Hi ways done for someone and
never aimlessly. Considerable atten
tion is paid to drawing and the use of
the pencil is so valuable and delightful
that it cannot be gained too soon. The
kindergarten is in no sense a forcing
system nor yet are ita aims trivial, but
it supplies the right care and occupation
for children from 3 to 6 years of age.
The moral influences of a republican
form of government, where all are
allowed as much freedom aa they can
use properly, is very beneficial, and the
association with others of the same age
makes the life of each child that of a
citiaen; a member of a small com
munity; a feature which no family,
however Ideal, can quite supply. Un
selfishness and all the smaller virtues are
constantly cultivated in unobtrusive but
effective ways. Perhapa the best definl
tion of the kindergarten ia "child cul
ture."' It ia hoped that any parents that have
children to send, and are not called up
on by the committee, will report at once
to Mra. Curtis.
Out on a Hjr.
Monday morning the sedate old horse
that earns his daily hay and oats hauling
the dump cart for R. K. Saltmarshe &
Co., developed a kittenish spell of friski
nesi all by himself and started to explore
the city. Tho cart to which he was
hitched contained a bale of hay and
nothing more. As old Whitey thun
dered down Second street over the
crushed remains of the brewery hill the
bed of the cart dumped but the hay
staid with it, and the outfit' came tearing
down the street at the rate of almost ten
miles an hour sending the affrighted
dogs with their tails curled down yelp
ing to their hiding places, and causing
Mr. Wolf to forget for a moment the
price of sheep pelts. Before the school
bell rung he had crossed Laughlin and
was heading down towards Federal at
the same terrific gait, with none to etop
his mad career or save the threatened
hay. Yet one rose in the hour of need,
another Arnold Wink L. Reed, or rather
L. E. Crowe, who hurriedly completed
the sale of a atove to a customer and aa
soon as he could make the change
hurried out to meet the coming doom.
He heroically grabbed the lines and held
the enraged animal with eo powerful a
hand that he prevented him from violat
ing the city ordinance against fast driv
ing, and after a struggle of fifteen min
utes succeeded in stopping him in front
of Janobsen's store to look at the pic
tures. It was a gallant exploit and
thoroughly appreciated by Mr. Salt
marshe, who gracefully offered as a alight
token of his appreciation to either pre
sent Mr. Crowe with the bale of hay or
set up the cigars. Mr. Crowe was heard
to murmur a bashful response to the
effect that "he never ate hay."
City Council Meeting.
An adjourned meeting of the city
council was held Friday night, present
Mayor Bolton and councilmen Lauer,
Nolan, Eshelman, Joles, Johns and

On motion the repairing of the city
jail was referred to same committee.
The placing of a public water trough
at some point in the East End was re
ferred to the committee on fire and
water.
No further business appearing, ad
journed.
Hliud Tcdi'i Concert.
Blind Tom waa greeted by quite a
good house last night, and the nudienee
went home fully satisfied that they had
received the worth of their money. Tom
ia really a wonder, excelling in imita
tion, which is indeed his only guide and
reliance. His rendition of classical
music ia good in execution, but he lacks
expression. His imitation of a music
box was perfect, and that of a guitar
almost asgood. The imitation of a bag
pipe brought a hearty encore, and in
playing one of his own pieces he fooled
everybody by his vocal imitation of a
locomotive whistle. He went on to
Portland tbia morning, but he told us
privately he would give anything he
owned if be could stop off at Hood River
and aee Mt. Hood.

Notice to Wster Consumer.
The chargea for patent closets when
used when necessary only, ia 25 cents,
but when a constant stream is allowed
to flow, the charge is $5 per month. In
the last two years a large number of
closets have been put in, and in a large
number of them a constant stream is
allowed to flow. The drain on the water
supply has become so great that I am
compelled to enforce the rules, and will
