Wednesday' Daily.
The weather bureau reported this
morning, occasional showers for today
and tomorrow fair and cooler.
Haskey, the boy tried for shooting a
doe belonging to Mrs. Bachelor, was
found guilty and fined $40 and costs.
Next Sundav being Easter, several
children will make their first common-
ion at the Catholic church at 7 o'clock
mass.
The wind yesterday afternoon was not
so powerful here, but on the river below
and the high ground back of the city it
was a regular scorcher.
Castle Hawortb, which stands on the
bluff overlooking the site suggested for
the branch insane asylum, Bhows up
from town as the largest thing in that
direction, except Mount Hood.
The directors of the D. P. & A. N. Co.
met soon after their election and elected
the following officers tor the ensuing
year: S. L. Brooks, president, Orion
Kinersly, vice president, M. T. Nolan,
secretary, J. S. Schenck, treasurer.
The Regulator came in last night
little late on account of the heavy wind
that made her hug the shore. With two
men at the wheel it was all that could be
done to keep her steady, it being one of
the worst storms experienced in a long
time on the middle Columbia. She
brought fifty-two passengers.
Easter Sunday, the 14th. All the
churches are preparing for appropriate
services on the day, and they will all be
crovded. There is something about the
Easter services that overcome even the
non-church-going procliuities of those
who do not usually attend the churches
during the balance of the year, and cause
them to wend their way on that day to
the house of prayer.
The Woodmen had a very pleasant
entertainment last night. Fraternity
ball was well filled and from the hearty
applause given the different numbers all
enjoyed the affair thoroughly. The pro
gram consisted of recitations and music,
followed by a broom drill by a class of
H young ladies that was heartily ap
plauded. At its conclusion refreshments
were served and after that dancing was
indulged in until midnight.
The fishing season began at 12 o'clock
last night. The low stage of the river
will prevent much of a catch at the start
as the water is not up to most of the
wheels. Some net fishing will be done,
but until the river riees the caich as well
as the run will be light. The Seufert
Bros, have two wheels at Celilo that will
take in the fish at the present stage of
water, provided there are any to take in
Fishermen say there are a few chinooks
running, but that is about all.
.Benton county larmers are paying
some attention to the new stock food,
vetches. Last season Miles Starr and
several neighbors grew the crop with
marked success, and have re-sown this
season with excellent crop prospect. In
an experiment of a month each, recent
ly, in which the milk was accurately
measured, C. D. Thompson, farmer at
thr O. A. C, made a feeding test to
milch cows with vetches and clover and
found no difference in their value as
milk-producing food. ,
Tnursday's Dally
The Wasco warehouse received a load
of wool from Klickitat county this after
noon, fifteen sacks.
The river today is 8 feet, 4 inches
above low water mark, a fall of two
inches since the first of the weel.
We are told there is to be a wedding
soon, in which the bride and groom are
both well-known young peeple of The
Dalles.
There will be no services at the First
Baptist church Sunday, owing to the
absence of the pastor, Kev. O. D. Taylor,
who is in California. ,
One of the prettiest drives imaginable
at this time is up Mill creek. It is a
mass of bloom for miles and the air is
sweet with the perfume of orchard
blossoms.
The Dalles City today towed the little
steamer, Water Witch, from Portland to
the Cascades. ' She will be hauled over
to the middle Columbia and used by the
Day Bros, in visiting their quarries. ;
Owing to toe probable absence of
Pastor Ta lor, the First Baptist church
at its service last Sunday voted to post
pone the April business meeting for one
rjopntb, unless sooner called by the ad
visory committee.
Mr. A. Bettingen, Sr., in a recent
letter, gives a description of his travels.
He was at the time of his writing in
Borne, having just returned from a
trip to Jerusalem and through the Holy
Land. He stated that he would visit
Berlin, and then spend some time in
Paris, where he has numerous friends.
so that be will probably not return to
The Dalles until fall.
The show window at Martin Donnell's
drugstore is prettily decorated with
display of Easter eggs, colored in hand
some designs. There are some very cute
human faces painted on some of them,
the handiwork of Mrs. Barrett. Besides
this Martin has nidificated in that same
window, and put seven red egg in it
The Snipes-Kinersly Drug Co. have a
window appropriately arranged for
Easter. The bottom is covered with sod
and in this is set a large pan filled with
water, and the whole is devoted to the
ubb of a large white hen and a family of
joung ducklings. There is a crowd at
the window all the time watching the
antics of the ducklings.. '
Harry Lie be ia the saddest man in
town this morning. At the giving away
of the bicycles last night be, by a won
derful stroke of bad luck, was awarded
both of them, bence his sorrow. It is a
touching sight to see bim standing be
tween the two wheels, while his eyes
have a far-away look, and bis lips mur
mur that old refrain, "How happy could
I be with either, were t'other' dear
charmer away." What is it makes
Harry sad? Because be isn't twins.
The water commission has ordered
what is known as the old Pentland reser
voir on the bluff on Court 9treet, emptied
and the work has been going on for sev
eral days. There is no means of letting
the water out only through the overflow
gates, and as soon as the water is re
duced to this level, the ditch is made
deeper, and the water again allowed to
run. As the reservoir is twelve feet
deep it will take several days before .the
water is all out of it. This reservoir has
not been used for a long time, and we
understand the intention of the water
commission is to sell the ground. .
The O. B. & N. has made a rate from
Portland to Spokane, of 50 per cent, of
the rate charged from St. Paul to the
same point. This will open up quite a
trade to the Portland jobber, but as it
cuts into Spokane's business that city is
not at all pleased with the rate. The
traffic managers of the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific were in consul
tation with General Freight - Agent
Campbell at Portland yesterday, for
several hours, but that gentleman in
sisted upon maintaing the cut.
The authorities of the East Oregon
normal school have sent in for a large
slice of their appropriation, but Secre
tary of State Kincaid thinks they 'are
not entitled to it that way. He thinks the
only way sanctioned by the constitution
for the payment of money is upon bills
properly audited by him. The under
standing of the institutions getting ap
propriations has been that they could
draw it quarterly and spend it as they
pleased, but Mr. Kincaid says it is in
tended for certain purposes and the
vouchers therefor must be filed and aud
ited in his office.
Dr. E. J. Thomas, who formerly re
sided at Hood Biver, but who recently
was stationed at the Spokane Indian
agency, in his professional capacity, vis
ited Hood River, Monday, on his way to
Monmouth, where he has parcbased a
drugstore. He was one of the charter
members of Waucoma lodge, K. ot P. of
Hood River, and hip brother knights
gave bim a reception in the shape ot a
banquet and an evening spent in social
enjoyment. The doctor, by the way,
was one of those who were on the ferry
boat that broke loose a few weeks ago at
the Spokane agency and came near tak
ing its load down over the rapids.
Fnday'a Daily.
Mr. Stone captured the Rambler bicy
cle at Mays & Crowe's last night.
Bambler bicycles will be given away
at Nolan's store on and after this date.
Quite a number of Chinese have ar
rived and will go to work in the cannery.
Mr. Herrick expects to employ white
labor in his cannery if it is possible to
get it. This mooted question will soon
be decided.
The recorder's court interviewed one
solitary drucK today. When arrested
last night he let a series of yells out, that
awakened everybody this side of Mill
creek.
Orders left at either music store for
piano tuning will receive prompt atten
tion by W. S. Geary, the well-known
tuner and repairer.
A letter received from Bev. J. H.
Wood, states that his little daughter is
much better. . He expects to return to
The Dalles tomorrow.
The King's Daughters, at their last
meeting, passed a vote of thanks to The
Dalles Dramatic club, for the donation
given them from the proceeds of the
play, Nevada.
One deed was filed for record today.
It was from D. W. Edwards and wife to
Joseph T. Peters, for lot 4, block 9,
Laughlin's addition to Dalles City ; con
sideration, (1200.
The trial of Preacher J. C. Bead who
undertook to rob the Frst National bank
at East Portland some time ago, has be
gun in Portland. The defense will be
made on the theory that Beed was in
sane.
No salmon have been caught here yet.
The very low water is th cause, first,
because the salmon will not run and
second because the water is not np to
the wheels, so that the few straggler
can be reached.
The man arrested last night, whom we
mention elsewhere, pat up this morning
and was released. By noon, however,
he bad another jag and was back in the
cooler. He did nothing all afternoon
but sing and whistle.
Some miners prospectingon the head
of Forest creek, about nine miles from
Jacksonville, uncovered two ledges this
week, from which they obtained very
flattering prospects. The ledges are
about 700 feet apart and will average 18
inches in width, with free milling ore,
They lie between walls of slate and por
phyry, which is considered a good iudi
cation. Actual tests of the ore taken out
show that it will mill $50 per ton.
This afternoon Marshal Blakeney was
telephoned for from the depot, to come
up and arrest a man, who was stoning
the section men, and throwing rocks at
the cars. When Blakeney arrived on
the grounds he found that a man named
Richardson was the one doing the mis
chief and at once arrested him. Mrs.
Richardson came to her husband's rescue
armed with a butcher knife, and the re
sult is that both are locked up.
Mr. John Lamb, commissioner of labor
at Seattle, has issued a notice warning
laboring men not to come to Seattle with
the expectation of securing work on the
Lake Washington canal. He says the
enterprise is emphatcically a Seattle
affair, that Seattle men, especially
men witn lamiaes win De given
the work, that there are plenty
of men now in the city to do all
the work, and that if any come, they
will meet with disappointment and ex
pense if not actu al suffering.
The city recorder was not in the most
joyous frame of mind when our reporter
called at bis justice shop this morning
He was holding an inquest on his bicy
cle, which he had loaned yesterday, in
the full vigor of its strength, but which
this morning might be classed as drunk
and disorderly, bix spokes were gone
irom the front wheel, and the others
were limp and relaxed, so that the
wheel was hardly self-sustaining. As
we left, the. recoider, sitting as a coro
ner's jury on the remains, was in some
doubt as to whether the wreck was
caused by falling over the bluff, or be
ing run over by a whole freight train
The verdict will probably agree with the
latter theory.
Everybody Satisfied.
County Judge Blakeley and Commis
sioners Darneille and Blowers went out
to 8-Mile this morning for the purpose
of looking at the road and examining
some bridges. They returned by what
is known as the Benson road. Near
Mr. Benson's place they heard a grind
ing noise in one of the wheels, and Mr,
Drrneille got out to investigate. When
he put his fingers on the nut that holds
one of the hind wheels on, he took them
off again without being told, for it was
decidedly warm. The party proceeded
to Benson's, where they took the wheel
off, leaving the boxing shrunk firmly
around the spindle. After pouring a
barrel or two of water on the spindle.
the boxing was gotten loose, and then
Mr. Darneille rose to the occasion and
proceeded to doctor the wheel. He bor
rowed Benson s overalls, and wrapping
the boxing drove it backward into the
wheel, repairing all damages in about
five minutes. The party had a nice ex
perience, Ward, Kerns & Robinson have
a buggy wheel as good as new, and Ben
son has a lien on the buggy for the price
of a new pair of overalls.
A Terminal Point.
At a recent meeting of representa
tives of trans-continental lines, held in
San Francisco, the question of making
The Dalles a terminal point was dis
cussed. We are told that the Northern
Pacific took the ground that The Dalles,
Portland & Astoria Navigation Com
pany must be considered as a factor,
and that the other roads in fixing their
rates would so consider it, and could
therefore compete for its trade. Just
what the final agreement was we have
not been able to learn, but that this
view of the matter will eventually be
adopted is almost certain. Last year
this point was given terminal rates on
wool, thus making a saving of $10 per
ton, amounting on the entire product to
almost $50,000. Should the terminal
rates be given it would make The lialles
the supply town for a large section of
country.
The Herrick Cannery.
A visit to Mr. Herrick's cannery this
morning showed that everything is in
readiness there to handle all the fish
that can be procured this year. The
building is a spacious one, and as Mr.
Herrick has been in the business for
years, he has put in every modern im
provement. The boiler is of unlimited
capacity, and the arrangements for can
nine are Derfeet. nearly all the work.
even'o the soldering of the cans, being
done by machinery. The lower floor
will be used for cleaning the fish, and
a track has been .built from the railroad
so that fish arriving on the cars, or those
hauled in wagons, can be unloaded from
the Btreet.

ALL GOODS MARKED IN
PLAIN FIGURES.
Some Handsome Work.
Ever since the high water of last June
French & Co. have wanted to have the
the interior of their bank repapered and
painted, but owing to the dampness in
the walls this could not be done until
this spring. David Vanse, the artistic
decorator, took the contract and has cer
tainly succeeded in beautifying the big
loom wonderfully. The ceiling has been
papered with light shades, blending
beautifully. The walls are a peculiar
yellowish tint, giving a very pretty effect,
and the woodwork has been grained un
til it looks like Nature herself could not
have done anything more perfect. The
floor is covered with a peculiar linoleum,
made by a recent process. The figures
in it are made of the same color the full
depth of the material and are pressed to
gether, so that as it wears the figure
does not wear out but shows just the
same color and shape until it is worn
clear through. The room has a light,
airy and cheerful appearance, and is as
handsome an interior as can be found in
the state.
Crop Report.
The crop weather bulletin for this
week has the following: '
'Columbia river valley, embracing
Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Morrow and
Umatilla counties A light skim of snow
fell on the 3d, and a light frost was had
on the 4th. Conditions are still favora
ble for all kinds of fruit. Cherry and
peach trees are leafing and blooming.
Strawberries have commenced to bloom
Almond and apricot trees are blooming
at Hood Biver. Fruit bloom is consid
ered unharmed by the frosts. P owing
8 well along, and seeding is about one
quarter done. The small acreage of
winter wheat is growing slowly. The
season is considered later than usual
Early garden vegetables, such as lettuce,
radishes, onions, spinach and asparagus
all of home grawth, are in The Dalles
market. Farmers are plowing for sum

A Queer Accident.
Conductor Brown's caboose stands on
the coach track stabbed full of hop-pole
les. When the train was coming in
from Hilgard Monday afternoon with
five flat cars of hop-poles loaded for
Idaho, the side stakes on one of the cars
gave way at the bridge above Oro Dell,
and about half the load was dumped off
among the bridge timbers. Several o
he poles were driven sqnarely through
the tront end of the caboose, and it ia a
great wonder that the trainmen escaped
njnry. The caboose was tilted over to
one side, but finally got through without
anv serious mishap. When the train
was stopped and a survey of the eituu-
ation made the bridge looked like it was
iter ally piled full of hop sticks. The
section crew was at work near that
place, and they succeeded in clearing
the obstruction before the arrival of the
west-bound passenger. La Grande
Chronicle.
Season Opened Unfavorably at Astoria.
At Astoria the fishing season opened
under rather unfavorable auspices. The
weather was exceedingly boisterous, and
but a small proportion of the boats ven
tured out. Of those that did take the
risk, none went near the bar, where the
fishing is generally best. In conse
quence, the eaten was email, proDaoiy
averaging six or seven to the boat. A
number of men were doubtless engaged
in fishing before the Beason opened, sev
eral bring from twenty-five to thirty
PEASE
fish, hut, as a rule, those who were
known to have been out but one night,
returned with from three to ten salmon
each. Cannery men and fisherman alike
are of the opinion that the pack this
year will be small, on account of the low
water, for, without exception, since the
inception of the salmon industry, the
catch has been small every - year in
which tbe volume of water in the river
was comparatively light. Tbe gillnet
men will be most seriously affected, as
they reap their harvest when tbe water
is high and muddy. Tbe traps and
seines are expected to do much better
than usual, tbe conditions being favora
ble for the former especially.
A Bold Kobber.
Yesterday's Oregonian contains the
following concerning a robbery in Sber
man county :
"A. Gilmour, who lives about a mile
east of Emigrant Springs, in Sherman
county, was held up at the muzzle of a
Winchester last Thursday night in bis
house, and forced to give up every cent
he had on his person. He was alone in
the bouse at the time, as his wife has
been East for several months. About
8:30 on the evening mentioned, Mr. Gil
mour heard a noise at the door, and, on
opening it, was accosted by a man who
held a gun at his head, and asked him to
give np what money be had. Gilmour
hunted his pockets and found 90 cents in
coin, which he handed over. Tbe fellow
told bim to open his trunk and "shell
out" the money be bad hidden, em
phasizing tbe request with a kick. Tbe
trunk was unlocked, and the different
articles of wearing apparel taken out,
but nothing valuable was found. This
appeared to make the robber furious,
and as each garment was shaken to prove
that no money was concealed he would
administer furious kicks to Mr. Gilmour.
After a ttibrough search of every place
in tbe house without success, and ad
ministering more punishment to Gil
mour, tbe robber departed. Although
heavily masked, and using every known
effort to disguise his voice, Mr. Gilmour
believes he knows the man."
