JiiHtice Soeabe of Hood River, lust Monday, fined the manager of the Ore gon I. limber Co. $1(K), for dumping saw dust into the Columbia liver. The de fendant pleaded guilty and o got off with the loweat fine allowed by law, and IcUuiro, the fish protector, wasn't in it either. Taken all in all, the fair, w hich closed today, has been far uerior to any ever held here. The rv:es have lieen excep tionally good, and have been conducted with fairness. F.verybody seems satis tied with the meeting, and that the fair nf 1H95 will lie still better attended teems assured. The music In the old Ciirosh i.k office i of a crude kind but there is whole lots of it. Property values have fallen 75 per rent in three days, for a distance of a block in all directions from that classical corner. The band may properly lie claimed along with the balance of the show as "birds." The daily reports of the fair for The Ciikomci.k were written by Mr. Fred. Wilson. They were clear and compre hensive, and were written in a peculiarly happy vein. We congratulate ourselves on securing Mr. Wilson's services, and mihesitutingly say that for his exerience he is one of tlie very liest local writers we ever met. Tlu' steamer Ualles City collided with the Thompson Wednesday morning noon after leaving her dock. The fog was very thick and the Thompson was lying how on to the wharf, with her stern in tho channel. Captain Johnson by prompt action prevented a serious accident, but as it was a portion of the upper works of the Dalles City was iu jiired. The blame rests with the officers of the Thompson for lying crosswise of the river, especially during bo heavy a fug. The Dalles City made her trip as unual. Tlie exhibits hove been removed from the pavilion today preparotory to the dance tonight.

The exhibit, taken all in all, is a remarkably good one, the art depart nientulone being worth theadmission fee and demonstrating the fact thai The Hal lea has among its citisens artists of niore than ordinary merit. Max Vogt is justly proud of the show ing made from his ranch. Last spring he planted several acres with hops, and thinking they would not produce any thing this year, did not pole most of them. Thoso that were taken care of, however, show that they are pleased with both aoil and cliumto, as they would yield at least 1200 pounds to the acre. He hud a very tine exhibit of them at the pavilion. From the same ranch he exhibited corn planted in the latter part of June, and some late potatoes, taking tlie first premium on both of these as well as the hops. ilood River has a fine supply of water 'or irrigating purposes on the west aide.

Mr. John Dairy m pie, a native of Scot land, renounced bis allegiance to (ueen Vic yesterday, and was made a citir en of the United States by his honor, Judge F.lakeley. Mr. F. C.

Mr. Hall was here yesterday taking a starting point from the government gauge to run a level preliminary toother work. The steamer Dalles City has changed her landing place from Taylor street to the Oak street wharf. This is one of the best wharves iu the city, being three feet higher than the others, and conse quently is in less clanger of high water and the annoyance pertuining thereto. There are no new developments in the matter of t tie express robtiery. Several detectives came up from Portland, but if they have found anything to work on they are very naturally keeping to them selves. They all look abysmally wise, consequently it is safe to assume that they have no information. Mr. H. Kaselierg writes from Iiiggs yesterday that a sad accident occurred at the Love place, i miles south of Iiiggs, Saturday afternoon, the 13th. A young mun by the name ot August Pat gen, while attempting to stop bis team which was running away, was knocked down, the wagon loaded with wheat passing over his body crushing him terribly.

The attendance yesterday was the largest in several years. The grand stand was filled with spectators, many of w hom were ladies. The day was superb no wind and bright sunshine. Mt. Adams looked upon the scene from his lofty height and didn't grow restless Kockland Hoy to see how the injured horse was progressing. His foot is in a plaster of I'aris cast and if lib doesn't allow it to be hurt in any way will probably attain some degree of strength. There were more races scheduled yes terday than the daylight would permit to occur. The trotting race was so closely contested and took so long to de cide tlie winner that the novelty race had to be postponed till today. The judges called out the trotters soon after 2 o'clock and Anita, Hamrock, Carle Carrie and Mont, ma responded. In the pools Anita sold as the favorite. The four animals were in splendid condition and as all hove splendid records a class race was the result. In the first beat, after a good start, tney went aronnd the track in a bunch, Anita slightly in the lead. This order was maintained till near the wire, when Hamrock shot ahead and won the heat with Anita a close second; Carle Carne third and Montana fourth; time, 2.39. In this heat Hamrock and Montana both broke badly at different times and it was only by a splendid burst of speed that Ham- rook won tlie jt. In the next heat Anita broke the track record, trotting the mile in 2.28,'j, Hamrock second, Carle Carne third and Montana fourth. Anita is a wonderfully steady trotter and is never seen to break. Anita won tlie third bent ; time 2.36,'s. The other liorses finished in the eume position as the former heat. The bicycle raca was now annouueed and the young men who were to com pete for the medal rode upon the tr.ick. The contestants were: II. C. French, Mr. Iiiggs, Ilert I'.arrett, D. S. Dufur, George Dufur and Khren Korten. The distance wns a mile and the race proved to lie a hotly contested and interesting one. From the start it was easily seen the contest lay between Mr. French and Mr. Iiiggs and all eyes were turned on them as they swung iu the home stretch with even w heels. The time dow u the stretch w as very fast, and no one could tell the w inner till Iiiggs passed under the w ire first with French two feet be hind him ; time 3.11. This contest was as much enjoyed as any of the horse races. The trotters w ere now called out for the fourth heat and Anitia was picked upon for the winner. Hamrock kept his feet however, and won by a short dis tance; Anita 2nd; Carl Carne 3rd and Montana 4th; time 2:34. As Auita and Hamrock bad each won two heats a fifth one was necessary to decide the race. lUit while the trotters were being warmed tip the running horses were called out. Jim Crow, I Don't Know, Tampa and Blue Jay took their places at the pole but it was nearly an hour before the horses got away. Jim Crow started in by being unmanageable and tore around iu such a way as to make the jockey's seat an insecure one. When be became quieted down and ready to go, Blue Jay became obstinate aud then the other liorses took their turn until it looked as though a start never w ould be had. Finally they all wheeled around and crossed the line heads even. It was a pretty race, and only won tiy I Don't Know in a close finish, Tampa second; time 0.51. This is the fastest time on i record on the tr.'ck, but does not beat any record, as the same time w as made several years ago. The crowd eagerly waited for the last heat in the trotting race, although it was nearly dark wheu the horses took their positions. Anita won the beat j and race, Hamrock second, Carle Carne I third, and Montana fourth; time 2.29. This closed the day, and the crowd went home feeling they bad had a day of pleasure. Kveryone was satisfied w ith the races and the chance of seeing so many people together at one time. We are sorry more of our country folk have not attended the fair. The meet ing is more for them than anyone else, and they have really missed an oppor tunity for pleasure. We don't speak of their absence complainingly, but only I wish they bad been present for tlieir own good. It would be a break in the routine of their lives, and give them something to remember and think about. The Dalles would have been glad to have shown hospitality to all that would partake. A OKKAT l K0 II AT THE PAVILION. Five hundred people thronged the pavilion last evening, looking at the ex hibits and hearing the music. The school children were out in full force, and mk.-.y of their parents came also. The receipts at the door were quite large. All those w ho were present re mained till a late hour, and many pleas ing expressions relative to the success of the entertainment and display were heard. The only thing to be regretted, as has already been expressed, was the absence of people from out of town. The display from citizens of The Dalles was very fine, and what there wa from the country was just as good, only there wasn't enough of it. Hood River, and many other places that could have sent fine exhibits, were hardly represented at all. The judges had pinned the rib bons on the winning exhibitsand those who owned them received congratula tions. The music of the orchestra was much applauded by the audience, and they were compelled to respond to several encores. A new selection, descriptive of a steamboat race on the Mississippi, was rendered in a realistic manner. The crowd of listeners around the or chestra stand showed how much the music was liked. Last night was the last of the exhi bits, and its close was marked in a fit ting manner by the large attendance. This morning the exhibits are being re moved, in order to give room for the ball this evening. FAIR NOTES. Many for the first time saw the sul kies with pneumatic tires at the fair this rear. It is claimed they enable faster time to be made. Anita and Carie Carne both bad them yesterday. One individual was heard to remark, "Here comes the horse with the rheu matic tires." This is by far the best fair in several years. The races have been of a very high order, and the exhibits were first-class. We are told the money re ceipts have been very good, and equalled anticipations. It is hoped the ball to night will raise them still larger. The management showed wisdom in placing the pavilion exhibits down town. This was clearly proven by the crowd in attendance last evening. The stock parade took place this morning, as advertised, and the animals made a fine showing. The End of the fair. The fair closed with a large attendance and a fine program. The crowd was not as large as the day before but the frand stand was well filled and many people were on thegronnds. The first race the novelty, was won by Buck. This was ,l2' mile walk, mile trot and 1.i mile run and proved an amusing contest. The gentleman's roadster was hotly contested, Dick Hinton's horse Hero, proving the winner. It took six heats to decide the race as Mr. Brown's mare also won two heats and Mike Welch's John L. one. The time in all the beats was good being close to three minutes. The mile dash was won by Tampa and disappointed a good many pool buy ers w ho picked Sir Henry or Siretta as the winner. A five mile handicap bicycle race was the last event and it was quite dark be fore it was finished. Kd Kiggs was the winner and Bert Barrett second. In the evening the grand ball was held at the pavilion. The room was crowded w ith dancers and spectators, all of whom bad a most enjoyable evening. The floor was in good condition and the music superb. The best people in town were in attendance and expressed them selves greatly pleased with their enter tainment. The financial receipts were quite large. Cold Weather Rig-iie. "A well known weather prophet says we are going to have a cold winter, and gives the following 'signs : The coons and groundhogs have a heavy growth of fur coming on ; the chipmunk and squir rel arc the busiest little animals in the world; the insects have left the north side of the trees in the woods; the feathers on the geese are heavier than ever before; young lambs are growing wool that seems marvelous, and sheep that hare been sheared are rapidly re gaining their fleece.'' It might be added that the goose bone is spotted, and Governor Pennoyer gets left in January; that firewood is expen sive, and the plumbers already smile; that the only genuine groundhog sau sage is already in the market, that the acorn crop is large, and the saimoii run was heavy; that the Indiana are sup plied with muck-a-muck, and the dud gas ted, measly white man, who doesn't begin to know as much as the dumb animals is not provided as well aj they lor the coming cold spell. A Louisiana gentleman was discussing the tariff question with a gentleman from Kentucky. "Sugar," said the IOuisianian, "is as much an article of necessity as flour and meat."' "A great deal more, my dear fellow ;" responded the Kentuckian; "without sugar you can't make your whisky toddy.'' MADE A ItKi HAIL TUB KXrilKS lirriCK ICIIKHEIt H ATI It U A Y MOIIT. The Thieve iot Away With I J..MIO In tlol.l and I.IOO Rllver, Weigh ing ISO I'ounda. The express office was robbed Satur day night just after the arrival of the 11 o'clock passenger. Agent Hill went to the train instead of Mr. Tibbetts, who was attending the ball, and after receiv ing the express box, be bad Night Watchman Gibons accompany him to the office. The box was placed just in side the door, which wag locked, while Mr. Hill went to the postoflice with the mail and to deliver a sack of oysters, which had come up by express, to the Branner restaurant. Marshal Blakeney came back with him, and on the way they passed Mr. M. A. Moody, who, having money in the box, as is his usual custom, was on big way to the office to get it and place it in the vault. When Hill and Blakeney entered the office they at once discovered that the box had been broken open and the con tents, or most of them, had been taken. Mr. Moody came in by this time, and an examination was made of the room, a tag from a shipment of silver and the instrument with which the box was broken opfv, lewarding their search. The latter was evidently made for the purpose from an old drill. One end was sharpened like a cold chisel, the other wag hammered into a square shupe, drawn out to a point, and then bent in a quarter circle or hook. The marks in the box show that the thief first inserted the point of the hook in the staple and tried to pry it out, but failing in this, he inserted it in the arm of the padlock and twisted it ofl. The robbery occurred between 11:30 and 12:15,so that the thief was evi dently on the watch, and the robbery wag deliberately planned. The box contained $7,500 in gold and $2,500 in silver consigned to French A Co., and $5,000 gold consigned to The Dalles Na tional bank. The gold was all taken and $1,500 in silver, making a weight of about 130 pounds, which is probably the reason the other $1,000 wag not taken, as it would have added sixty pounds to the weight. Mr. Hill, evidently acting under in structions, refuses to talk of the matter at all ; but as far as can be learned no tangible clues have yet been found as to the identity of the robber. Concerning- Hchool Money. As there has been considerable in quiry concerning the small appropria tion made by the state school superin tendent, Supt. Shelley referred one of the letters to State Superintendent Mc Elroy, and received the following answer, which, as the people have a well-defined opinion of their own, will not prove entirely satisfactory. The letter, dated Oct. 10th, is as follows : "Replying to your favor of the 5th inst., in which you enclose a communi cation from the board of directors of dis trict No. 3 of your county, I beg leave to say that I Lave made inquiry relative to the matter, and reply as follows: "First You understand that I am not a member of the board of school land commissioners. The governor, the secretary of state and the state treasurer comprise that board. Second I have made inquirv of the state treasurer relative to the matter, and Mr. Metschan gives me the follow ing information : lie made an appor tionment of all funds on hand in August last, the amount per capita at that time being 87 cents. This money was for warded to the several county treasurers, and I presume you have distributed this money to the schools of your county long ago. Mr. Metschan tells me that owing to the extreme stringency of the times, it is impossible for him to collect the interest due on the school fund notes now held by people in all parts of the state. You understand that this fund ariseg from the Interest on the irreduci ble school land fund, and the school land fund arises from the purchases of school land by people in all parts of the state. The principal itself cannot be distributed to the children of the state, but interest only. The state treasurer finds it, as I stated above, quiteout of the question to collect interest to any appre ciable amount and it would be useless to foreclose the notes held against the people for the shrinkage in real estate values hag been so enormous that it would be practically of no avail for the state board to foreclose. He states that many persons whose notes the state now holds and who have heietoforebeeii very prompt iu paying their interest on this fund are now pleading for further time in which to pay their delinquent interest. The above are the reasons w hy a large amount of the school funds baa not been distributed this year, and I trust that you will make this plain to all boards of directors making inquiry of you reard this matter. I remain, Yours very sincerely, K. B. MVKlhoy, State Supt. Pub. Instruction. Another lad Kunnwaj Aerldent. A allocking runaway accident occurred about seven miles from Heppner last Wednesday evening by which two peo p'e may loose their lives. G. L. Wright his and o-year-eM son went to Heppner that day to trade, and started on their way home. When aliout half-way there one of the bridle bits broke. The horses) being spirited, became unmanageable and ran away. They onlv ran a short distance before the hack upset, catching Wright and bis wife under the hack and dragged them 30 or 40 yards before they could free themselves. Mr. Wright's) leg was broken near the ankle, his hip was dislocated and he is otherwise badly hurt. Mrs Wright is badly cut and bruised about the head and face, and suffered confusion of the brain. The child was not hurt, except for a few bruises. They were hurt about H p. in. hihI were not discovered until after 0 a. m. the next day, lying out by the roadside all night, with neither food, drink nor aid of any kind, except what the child of 5 years was able to give them. He gath ered up the quilts they bad for robes and covered them as best he could. When daylight came be walked across the fields to the residence of O. N. Peck and managed to tell him about the ac cident. Mr. Peck immediately started out to see what the trouble was, taking his hack and team along. After finding them and procuring the assistance of a neighbor, he at once brought them to Heppner where medical assistance could be had. Heat Estate Tiansaetlnn.

A meeting will be held Wednesday evening at 7 :30 in the Congregational church, for the purpose of organizing a literary and debating society. The in tention is to have an oreanization that will give both profit and pleasure to its members. All those who are interested in such pursuit, and will enter heartily into the spirit of the work, are earnestly requested to be present Wednesday evening. A large number have already signified their intention of attending. In an article concerning a runaway near Heppner, published yesterday, a miserable evil-minded "1" got into a word where a "t" belonged, and so we said that the unfortunate woman, who was hurt in the accident, suffered not contusion, but "confusion" of the brain. The latter is a common complaint, not requiring any accidentg to develop it. PERSONAL MENTION. Saturday. Mr. Tlios. Harlan of Mosier was in the city yeaterday.
