The Chbonicle, which gives the news twice a week, has made arrangements to club with the following publications, and offers two papers one year for little more than the price of one: Regular Our price price Clmiele ud I.

License to wed was issued yesterday afternoon to M. L. White and Mary A. Foster, both of Portland. The second quarterly conference of the M. E. church has been postponed until next Monday evening at 7:30. The cold wave struck the county south of us, harder than it did this neighbor hood. At Tygh Ridge the ground froze sufficiently to prevent plowing. The Second Eastern Oregon District Agricultural Association will hold its regular meeting this fall, commencing October 8th and lasting five days. . The Pat Rooney Theatrical company come highly recommended, and a pleas ant evening is promised all who attend the performance next Tuesday evening. If you want some pretty flowers for a small sum of money, you can have your choice from a large assortment at the Stubling Greenhouse . and flower gardens. The street commissioner has put the road from the brewery to the city limits in fine condition, and the culverts and road to the icehouse have also been put in good shape. Peach trees are in bloom, some of them, and with a few more dayB like to day, the orchards will be masses of bloom. The young onion is also on tap, redolent of spring. , Mr. Charles Adams is building a resi dence in Cramer's addition, Mrs. Buschke is having a cottage built in Langhlin'e addition, and Mr. Applegate is putting an addition to his residence in the pines. One of our farmer friends this morn ing suggested that spring was surely at hand, his reason for thinking so being that he had seen O. F. Angel plowing as he came to town this morning. He said : "When the Angels go to plowing it is time for the balance of us to begin." Goldendale inventors are not at all bashful. One of them has tackled the flying-machine problem, and thinks he will be able to soar, while another has j invented a machine for saving fine gold. lnese two subjects nave caused more patents than any others except, alone, the ever elusive, perfect car-coupling. The case of Drquhart against Esbel- man, being a suit over constable fees in attaching a lot ot wheat, and which was on trial before, but went out of court on a technicality, waB on trial this after' noon before Recorder Dufur, but was again side-tracked. Hon. E. B. Dufur is confined to his room, and is putting in most of his time mentally arguing a motion quash a very persistent case of grippe. . We hope he may be able to make his side win, feel ing sure that in this case at least, he will make no attempt to get a new trial, Mr. C. L. Farris, lineman for the Western Union, met with an accident yesterday afternoon five miles from Bla- lock that might easily have proved fatal. One of his spurs broke as he was climb ing a telegraph pole, causing him to fall. He came down astride a barb-wire fence, and though stunned by the fall, he was not seriously injured. The Cascade Locks is furnishing its full quota for the county jail, the last one was Patrick Shields, who -was brought up last night, committed for 15 days, having been convicted of assault and battery. His grim visaged front looked as though he had been through the Chinese war on t he Chinese side, and if .the other fellow looks any worse, he will die of fright if he gets a look at himself. Monahan and the other man, who are in the pest bouse, are gettine alone nicely, and are out of danger, and will be turned loose as 'soon as they get through "shedding." They sent down yesterday requesting two yards of green ribbon and a bottle of Irish whisky be sent up, that they might celebrate St. Patrick, his day. As there was no one to see the ribbon and the whisky was too rich for their blood, the request was not complied with. , Any reasonable man ought to be satisfied with a house to himBelf and a case of smallpox, without wanting to gin up, but then some people never are satisfied. Monday's Daily. There are four prisoners in the county jail, either awaiting the grand jury or aerying out sentences. :,, The Regulator carried a good load of ptaaengera away .from ..her dock this morning. Freight shipments continue large.- ' . The weather forecast for tomorrow is rain, followed by fair weather. A rain, if it comes, will not be unwelcomed to this section. Mrs. J. W. French lost a canary bird this morning. Its color was of a green ish tint, while it had a tuft on its head, The finder will be suitably rewarded by returning same to the owner. St. Patrick's day was duly observed in The Dalles bv a good many people wear ing bits of green, and the regulation number celebrating in a joyous manner the birth of the patron saint. Martin Donnell opened his drugstore to the public this morning, and is ready for business. He has a tasty store, and his enterprise shows his faith in The Dalles as a good business point. The school in district No. 16 will open the first Monday in April. John A. Haylock will be the teacher. This dis trict is located about ten miles cast of The Dalles, on the way to the free bridge. Eight cars loaded with sections of gates for the locks, passed through town this morning. From all reports that baye been received, work is being pushed very satisfactorily by the contractors. There seems to be a good deal of sick- in town at this time. There are several cases of pneumonia and a good many suffering from bad colds. One of our doctors is sick and another one not feel ing at bis best. A special train passed through The Dalles this morning eastward bound, On board were the Union Pacific officials and attorneys, who have been arguing before Judge Bellinger for seyeral weeks past. The new cannery erected by Mr. Her rick is about completed and represents large outlay of money. The building complete in every particular with neces sary details and is read" to can the fish whenever the season begins. Yesterday was a perfect day and large congregations attended services in the different churches. In the afternoon many people were out walking, enjoying the bright weather and gathering spring flowers, which are out in great profusion The sewer in the alley running from Court to Union streets between Front and Second has been thoroughly cleaned and the repairs are nearly completed, The work was needed, as its previous condition was a menace to good health Col. Sinnott has received a letter from a man in the valley asking if any fine bull frogs could be found in this vicinity as he wished to start a frog hatchery, If any of our readers have a high breed of bull frogs, they might find a market for them with the inquiring gentleman The members of the Dramatic club are busy rehearsing for their performance. which takes place within the near future. Judging from past results and perusal of the present caste our theater going people have a treat in store for them. The proceeds will go to the cause of sweet charity. The town is unusually quiet for this time of the rear. The weather is so bright and the ground is drying so rapidly that the farmers are hurrying with their plowing and havn't come to town. A large acreage of grain will be put in thia season despite the ruinous prices of last year. Trade will brighten considerably by the first of next month The band boys are practicing one night each week now and will soon regain their wonted efficiency. It would be good thing if this organization would be made the regimental band for the Third regiment. The militia company are doing good work in drilling and -the presence of a regimental band would still further increase their martial spirit J. M. Huntington & Co. have prac tically finished their labors on the present ownership books. Over $200,000 at the very lowest estimate, has been added to the wealth of the county. This will in crease the yearly revenue of the county several thousand dollars besides causing more equitable taxation. It can be easily seen that the county made a good investment in this venture. Mr. John Bonn of this city brought to this office some peach blossoms, which are far advanced and show no damage whatever from the late hard freeze. If these specimens are a fair index of the fruit condition everywhere in this local ity the yield this year will be very large, We learn that some of the peach trees of an early variety across the river nave been damaged by frost. This from the Antelope Herald tells a chapter, of the Gould-Castellance-ro mance, not before given to the public: One of the editor's old girls, Miss Anna Gould, was married in New York Monday to Count Paul Ernest Boniface de Castellance, and they, have already sailed for Paris, where they will reside. Poor girl! We hated to disappoint her in love, but the size ot her "sack" did'nt suit us, and we had to drop her. At the last meeting of the Literary society the question of the annexation of Hawaii came up for settlement. After a spirited debate the judges decided that this government had better annex the islands. At the coming meeting the de bate will be on the election of United Slates senators by a direct vote of the people, and an interesting program is promised. ' The society decided to con tinue its meetings till the beginning of festival be given on Easter Sunday in one of- our churches. Union services could be held and a special program ar ranged. With the present fine orcheS' tra, which The Dalles now has, and the number of sweet singers, which could be obtained, a most pleasing and appro Drooriate service could be held. The Dalles has a great amount of talent which could easily be brought out on such an occassion. Henry Clongh is building a tasty cot tage on Fourth street, opposite Ward & Kerns' barn. The lumber is already on the ground,and the frame work will soon be up. A good many houses are being built in different parts of the town this spring, and several more are projeccea There is some talk among the Odd Fel lows" of building a handsome two-story brick on tbeir lot on the corner of Third and Washington streets. Such a struc ture would be a handsome addition to the town and be a stimulus for others to go and do likewise. Manly Keizur, a respectable Lane county man, went to Cottage Grove for family supplies, but lost his money in gambling, and not having the courage to face his wife and family without the necessaries he had expected to get, con eluded to end the disgrace by taking his life. He accordingly, went into the drue store and bought a bottle of strychnine, opened the bottle and at tempted to swallow its contents, but was prevented. Times-Mountaineer. The above shows that the flight of time is un noticed in the Mountaineer office, as the incident quoted happened over six weeks ago and not in Lane county, but at Ar lington, not sixty miles distant from The Dalles.

The Wasco Warehouse Co. have on sale at their warehouse Seed Wheat, Feed Wheat, Barley, Barley Chop, Oats and Hay. Are sole agents in The Dalles for the now celebrated Goldendale roller mills flour, the best flour in the market, and sold only in ton lots or over. 9-tf The weather at Portland, and in fact all through the Willamette valley, has been exceptional this spring. For the past six weeks there has been no rain tall, and the phenomenon of dust in February and March has been exper ienced. Yesterday Portland was visited by a light shower, and now that the dry spell is broken, it is probable Mr. Pague may be able to dish up the regular old standard-gauge Oregon weather once more. It is needed by the farmers, for that matter everybody, in their business Four Indians from the Warm Springs were lodged in tbe city jail this morning by Marshal Blakeney. They were in state of somnolence, drunk to a finish, and were loaded in a wagon like so many Bkewered sheep and hauled unre sistingly to the skookum house. They gave their names as Winston, Charley Quinn, Sam Tussey and Charley. They denied having drank any whiskey, but stated that they bought five cents worth of cider, and that it paralyzed tbe whole lot. This is probably true, for instead ot whooping and gloryfying their aborig inal ancestry, as they usually do under the influence of whiskey, they just lay down and quit. The power of the Ore gon apple was fully proved. The Indi ans expressed a desire to go home, which they will probably be allowed to do sometime. The woman mentioned several days ago, as being here from Salt Lake and try ing to regain her two children, who were given away by her husband a short time since, is having a hard time of it. Tbe husband, it seems, quarreled with his wife and in a moment of . anger took the children and came here. One of them was given to parties living at Caleb, and the other left some place in Washington. Tbe husband finally went back to his wife and told her what he had done with the youngsters and sent her after them. She is here, out of money, but determined to gather her little brood. Had she delayed starting on her journey long enough to have clubbed her hus band to death, public sympathy would have been much greater. We under stand a collection will be taken up to as sist her. summer. . The suggestion has la a good one, that been made, and it a grand musical Hark on Ell. A Boston reporter was interviewing! Mark Twain about different American writers and their characteristics, and finally asked the humorist why - the newspapers were always questioning Eli Perkins' veracity.

An adjourned meeting of tbe common council was held in the council chambers Satuiday evening at 7 :30 o'clock p. m, Present Hon. Frank Menefee, oqayor; M. T. Nolan, G. C Eshelman, A. R. Thompson, S. B. Adams, C. Lauer, H. L. Kuck, R. B. Hood, S. S. Johns, W. S. Shackletord. The mayor read his message to the council, touching on the financial con- tion of the city, with proper recom : mendations, and this was accepted and placed on file. Tbe petition oiH.L. Kuck and others, asking for fire bvdrant at the corner of Fourth and Liughlin streets, was read and on motion was referred to the com mittee on fire and water. On motion it was ordered that the re corder draft an ordinance prohibiting placing wires on poles at a less distance than 25 feet from the ground. The recorder was instructed to com municate with tbe secretary of state, and ascertain wehther or not the copy of the charter forwarded to the council is a true and correct copy of tbe house bill as passed by tbe legislature, as apparent errors are contained therein. On motion it was ordered that putting telegraph poles in tbe city be referred to the committee on streets and public property. On motion the council adjourned. Independent Worker Anniversary. by a gentleman that be met on the boat that he, Col. Sinnott, was the best posted man in the state on frogs, and had a herd of regular old fashioned bull-frogs, with voices like fog horns, and hips like a mansard roof. The correspondent then went on to ask if the colonel would sell him a few Clydesdales or Norman Percberons, for starters, or if he did not feel like parting with any of his pets, if he would send him a couple of quarts of spawn. And then be desired all sorts of information as to the best time to set the frogs, at what age they got ripe, and many other technical points. The beauty of it is, that the letter was evidently written in good faith, and the colonel hardly knowa whether to feel flattered at thia tribute to hia piscatorial knowledge, or to hold it up against some ot the traveling men. As a matter of fact the Col. hasn't owned any froga since well, not since he went into tb salmon business. A Good Word Erom Mr. Clarke. The following from the pen of S. Clarke gives a good idea of the adaptibly of this section of country to fruit culture, Mr. Clarke is the man who according to his own statement has never told aught but the truth. The Dalles and surrounding country of Wasco county, offer very great induce menlB to fruitgrowers. Eastern Oregon excels this western valley in production of small truits. The Clark strawberry. that orginated near Mount Tabor, close to Portland, is the wonderful, all-round market berry grown at The Dalles and Hood River, and far excels there what is done with and for it in the land of its birth. The district along the Columbia and from the Cascade range on the east to the Deschutes river, from the Colum bia to the Tvgli valley, south, is well adapted to fruit, as vicinity to the mountains renders the uplands fruitful without irrigation over most of those broad hillsides. Wherever irrigation For the Minister. The ladies of the Christian church tendered their minister and wife a re ception Friday evening, at the home of Mr. George Miller, which to them was complete surprise. A very enjoyable time was had. One of the features of the evening was the luncheon consisting of sandwiches, coffee, cake and peaches and cream. Those present were Mr and Mrs Esping, Mr and Mrs Norman, Mr and Mrs Hazel, Mrs Bayard, Mrs Spivy, Mrs Reese, Mrs Singleton, Mra Lemer son, Mra Roberson, Miss Jones, Miss Miller, Mr A Hnering and Mr L C Martin.
