Hon. W. H. H. Dnfur was in the city
. this morning..
: Two hoboes were before the city re
corder this morning, and will do service
on the streets. '
Sixteen carloads of sheep, 3.000 will
be shipped from this point to the East
in the morning.
The Fargher Bros, are bringing in a
large flock of sheep for shipment East.
They will arrive in tonight or tomorrow
morning.
Tygh was visited by a generous rain
Monday night, our informant stating
that the ground was wet to the depth of
three or four inches.
Last night was a very cold one at
Dnfur with a severe frost. When our
informant left this morning he was un
able to learn if the fruit had been dam
aged, but is of the opinion the damage is
slight.
This has been by long odds the most
perfect day of the year, the sun has
beamed down upon the fragrant earth
softly, and the air odorous of fruit blos
soms has been as quiet as a woman's
conscience.
TTp at the East End Will Moody is
having an awning built in front of the
warehouse and Saltmarshe & Co. caught

of a sun shield put up in front of their
place of business.
C. 6. F. Baker, who was arrested yes

against Rev. J. C.Kead, indicted for at
tempting to rob the East Portland bank
a month or so ago, after being out
twenty hours reached a verdict yester
day afternoon, at 5 o'clock, finding him
not guilty. The defense set np was in
sanity. The verdict seems to give gen
eral satisfaction to all those who have
followed the testimony in the case.
Yesterday evening Ermie riach, a boy
of ten years of age came up from the

to find a home here. He wa9 sent to
Judge Blakeley who had -secured him a
good home with Mr. H. W. Wells, and
the little fellow who had been badly
abused by his father and stepmother
seemed delighted with the prospect of
having a peaceful, pleasant home in the
green fields and beneath the fine skies
of Eastern Oregon.
It seems that we were mistaken yes
terday in Baying that Tom Kelly dined
with Senator Dolph. It was our old
friend Robert Kelly, he of the sheriff's
office, and formerly of Kingsley, he was
the self same man. Bobert did the
honors of the occasion in his inimitable
style, until the senator pulled a card on
him and told him he would like to issue
him an insurance policy. Then Bobert
took a tumble, two of them and still the
boys won't quit on him.
The band ot wild cattle which has
been in the habit of ranging on Joe and
Fawn creeks, branches of Agency creek,
in the coast range have changed their
range, so hunters say, who have been
looking for them. This band of cattle
has ranged in the Cascades for nearly
twenty years and has weathered the
worst winters during that period with
ease. Those killed by hunters in the
spring have been found fat and tender.
The valley cattle as a rule are poor when
spring comes. These wild cattle are
much hardier than domestic stock and
are as shy and hard to come upon as
deer.

Condon & Senfert received today the
first installment of their telephones and

struments and will no doubt give entire
satisfaction to the patrons of the com

The local market is well supplied with
salmon, but the run is not on yet and
the canneries have not commenced work
It is said the run of bluebacks reached
the Cascades Sunday, if so, they should
be here next Sunday. The river is rising
slowly but is approaching the stage
where the wheels will begin to work
Mr. Emil Schanno is out bugging these
days, as he intends to Bend one hundred
or more twice-stabbed lady-birds or
lady-bugs to the fruit men in the Wil
lamette valley. These little beetles are
death on fruit pests and have done good
service here. The first lot was received
here a year or two ago and now there
are thousands of them.
Saturday morning Percy Adams, of
Hood River, was driving home the cows
from the pasture. He had along bis 22'
calibre rifle, and when a cow lagged be
hind he would shoot in her direction,
the whistling of the bullets serving to
head off the cow or start her along. By
this means the boy saved many a step
But in trying to see how close he could
come to the cows without hitting them,

Friday's Dally
Stone's fish wheel caught about 300
pounds of salmon last night, mostly
chinooks. Mr. Stone is of the opinion
there will be a good run of black chinooks
soon, and thinks the outlook for the
season fairly good
The city recorder's office is looking up
somewhat. This morning one hobo and
three persons who each bad a small jag
on last night, were interviewed by the
recorder. Two of them were fined $10
each, and the others each deposited $5
bail which they forfeited.
Captain Paul Webb in going over the
falls at Oregon City last Sunday, in a
barrel, broke one of his arms. The only
serious regret among sensible people is
that it was not his neck. . Such men as
Webb should be arrested for vagrancy
for the calling they follow is little if any
better than begging.
Arrangements have been . made bet
ween the Third regiment and Max Vogt,
for the rebuilding of the old opera house
burned down in 1891. It will be used
as an armory, but at the same time a
stage will be put in, and in the, future
may be fitted up for theatrical purposes.
we are pleased indeed to note that Mr.
Vogt is finding use for this property and
hope the business of the town may soon
improve to such an extent as to cause
him to rebuild on Second street. ' '
Articles of incorporation of the Hood
River Spring Water Co. was filed yester
day. The object of the company is to
furnish water to the town of Hood River
for household, irrigation and other pur
poses. The incorporators are Ambv S.
Blowers, L. N. Blowers and W. M.
Yates. The capital stock is $12,000,
divided into 120 shares and .duration

At the Lock.
Oregon stockmen are profiting by the
advance in the price of beef, caused by
sharp Chicagoans getting a corner on
cattle and control of the mrrket. There
a great scarcity of cattle in the East
at present, and while prices have been
steadily going up, it is impossible to ob
tain beeves. Kansas and Nebraska had
no corn to feed cattle last winter. It
was a winter of desolation and suffering
west of the Mississippi river. There
was no time to think of cattle, and many
were frozen to death. Several weeks
ago agents of Eastern' stockyards ap
peared in Eastern Oregon and com
mencea going over tne ranges with a
view of buying what stock they could.
Prices went up as the activity of the
buyers increased, and not only have
thousands of beeves been bought, but
agents have been sent to the Willamette
valley to gather up what stock can be
tound there. With the rise in the price
of beef there came an extra demand for
mutton, and in Crook county as high as
$3.25 has been paid for good mutton
sheep. '

Work at the Cascade Locks is progres
sing rapidly. Above the npper bulkhead
the guard walls are almost completed,
and the canal has been excavated to its
full depth, down to the water line so
that it can be completed very quickly
when the high water is over. Eight days
work on one of the gates completed one
section on one gate, and work has been
com mencea on tne other which it is ex
pected will be completed in the same
length of time. This will make two of
the three gates complete. Below the
lower bulkhead the guard walls are
about completed, and a 'mass of heavy
stones is being placed on the upper side
of the upper wall to protect it from the
current of high water. When Governor
Lord and party was there recently they
were the guests of the Day Bros., who
assured the governor that if no unforseen
accidents happened, the canal would be
opened not later than March 1st and
possibly much sooner. The work is in
good shape, and as soon as the summer
flood is over it will be .crowded to com
pletion just as last as men and money
can do it. The Day Bros, have lots of
money tied up until the work is finished
and are just as anxious to get the
work completed as the people of
the Inland Empire are. We feel assured
that in less than ten months the long
delayed opening of the Columbia from
this point to the sea will have been com
pleted. This will give a great impetus
to business here and will also be bene'
ficial to points east of us, as we will then
have terminal ra.es. At the same time
Eastern Oregon will never reach the full
measure of its prosperity nntil the ob
structions at this point have been re
moved and the Columbia is made a free
highway to the sea.
Crop Weather Bulletin No 8.
Following is the report of the Oregon
state weatiier service for Eastern Oregon
Weatheb: A few light showers or
sprinkles of rain fell, but not sufficient
to lay the dust. The winds have been
dry and of a velocity higher than usual
The maximium temperatures have
ranged from 48 to 72deg. The minimum
from 34 to 62 degrees and below the
freezing point south of the Blue moan
tains.
Ckops: The lack of sufficient rainfall
is already being felt. The ground is dry
and spring sown grain needs rain to
cause it to germinate. 'Due to the dry
season, and to other causes, many, far
mers nave been prevented from sowing
as much graia as usual. In some coun
ties this decrease will be considerable.
In Umatilla and Union counties the
grain crop appears to be in the best con
dition at the present time. The marked
deficiency in rainfall will seriouslw injure
the grain crop unless copious rains should
occur in May and June. The rainfall
of these two months determines the
cereal crop of the year. In the Colum
bia river valley the fruit crop is, so far,
uninjured by weather conditions; the
fruit trees are in full bloom, in some fee-
tions over their blooming period. The
trees at present indicate large yields.
The berries are growing and thriving
and in good condition. Vegetables are
having ohly a fair growth, needing
moisture and warmth. Lambing con
tinues with success. The shearing of
sheep has commenced and some small
lots of wool have been received at The
Dalles, Pendleton and Heppner, all of as
good quality as was ever clipped. To
the south of the mountains, except in
the Grand Ronde valley which is more
advanced.the fruit trees are swelling their
buds. The range grass is good and stock
in good condition. While the fruit crop
is very promising, the cereal crop is in
danger from drouth.

Arbor Day.
Editor Cheonicle: I send yon the
following reports from school districts
celebrating Arbor Day :
District No. 3, Hood River, H. L.
Howe, principal, had a fine literary pro
gram consisting of declamations, dia
logues, singing, etc., with a plan to se
cure funds for a new flag for their new
schoolhouse.
District No. 6, Miss Marguerite Shelley
teacher, spent the afternoon in decorat
ing ' the house and clearing up the
grounds.
District No. 13, Miss Omah Smith,
teacher, rendered the following program
Song, Nellie Frost; declamation, Lena
Deckert; declamation, Malcom South
well; reading, Mace Fulton ; song, Nellie
Fobs; declamation, Lena Deckert; dec
lamation, Lillie Krause. Ten trees were
planted, two white and eight silver
poplars, each tree being named by the
one who planted it.
District No. 16, J. A. Hay lock, teacher,
repotted as follows : Planted six locust
trees and named them, George Wash
ington, Grover Cleveland, Robinson
Crusoe, His Man Friday, Tennyson and
ixngieuow. several visitors were
present.
District No. 21, at Boyd, R. A. Gailey,
teacher, reports a very pleasant day.
Had a short program and a half holiday.
As the grounds are not fenced no trees
were planted. ,
District No. 42, at Wamic, H. G.
Lake, principal, spent the half day with
lessons in botany. The grounds are not
fenced and no trees could be planted.
District No. 48, on Juniper Flat, Asa
Stogsdill, teacher, planted a number of
trees, naming them after the presidents
from Washington to Polk. A fence en
closing the grounds was built by R.
Beattie and R. D. Pitcher. Following
was the literary program : Song bv
school. Remarks on Arbor Day, by
teacher. Biographies of a number of
the presidents by Grace Confer, Polly
Crabtree, Elmer Snodgrass . and Job
Crab tree. Recitations by Eddie Lundy.
Anna Beattie, Lena Snodgrass, Mamie
Pitcher and Ethel Butts. Song, Amer
ica, by school.
I would like to suggest that Arbor
Day could be profitably spent by many
other, districts like the. one above, in
fencing the ifrouuds.

log-alls un Gold.
It is the most cowardly, and treach
erous of all metals. It makes no treaty
it does not break. It has .no friend it
does not Booner or later betray. Armies
and navies are not maintained by gold.
In times of panic and calamity, ship
wreck and disaster, it becomes the agent
and minister of ruin. No nation ever
fought a great war by the aid of gold.
On the contrary, in the crisis of the
greatest peril, it becomes an enemy more
potent than the foe in the field; but
when the battle is won and peace has re
turned gold reappears and claims the
fruits of the victory. In our own civil
war it is doubtful if the gold of New
York and London did not work us great
er injury than the powder and lead and
iron of the rebels. It was the most in
vincible enemy ot the public credit.
Gold paid no soldier or sailor. It re
fused the national obligations. It was
worth most when our fortunes were tbe
lowest. Every defeat gave it increased
value. It was in open alliance with our
enemies the world over, and all its en
ergies were evoked for our destruction.
But as usual, when danger has been
averted and the victory secured, gold
swaggers to the front and asserts tbe
supremacy."
