The Chronicle, which gives the news , twice a week, has made arrangements to - dab with the following publications, and offers two papers one year for little more than the price of one : Regular Our price price Ar.iicl.ui H.

The tax rolls have been turned over to the county clerk, having been declared delinquent, and as soon as the rolls can be piepared the collection will be crowded. -. The piledriver is at work today driv :' ing a lot of piles around the end of the wharf to protect it. They are being put in to replace those carried away by the high water last year. Who says advertising does not pay? Yesterday we made a soul tul plaint for the presence of Jupiter Pluyius Aqua rius Ferris, and this morning Jup. Plut. Aqua Ferris arrived. Now then, the sprinkler will sprinkle. The total amount of taxes for all pur poses in this county is a fraction lees than $89,000 for the -ear 1894. Although the rolls were in the sheriff's hands only j about a month, $51,336.73 of the amount was collected. This does not indicate hard times or a scarcity of money. Bicycling has evidently come to stay and its devotees seem to derive much pleasure from the exercise. Those who ride the wheels, however, should rec ollect that while they own the bicycles they do not own theeartn and that care less riding is apt to bring a punishment that will fall on all the bikers. Last night a bit; cow bell fastened to one of the machines, no doubt without any evil intent, but only for the fun of the thing, came near causing a half a dozen runaways. The amusement is a health ful one, and it is to be hoped the care less will not c induct themselves in such a manner that the city will have to pre pare another ordinance for the regula tion of the sport. Captain Richard Hoy t, the well known steamboat man, was taken to the insane asylum from Portland Monday. His hallucination is that he' has been awarded a contract for building a light house at Bandon, and he keeps ordering material for it. It is hoped by his num erous friends that the attack may prove .but temporary and that his reason may be soou restored. He was one of the beat and most popular captains on the river. Tnursday's D ally Forty sacks of wool were received at the Wasco warehouse today. The population of the city, as found by County Assessor Wakefield is 3,045, Of whom 137 are in Thompson's addi tion. me i,pwortn league win give an Indigo social on Friday evening in the lecture room of the M. . church. All are cordially invited. Items are as scarce today as npper in cisors in a bovine, or angels' visits, or hen teeth, or wit in Eli Perkins, or any ether little thing of that kind. Thomas Stewart, a colored man, who was on the Kearsarge when the Ala bama was captured, died at -the Mer chants hotel, Portland, yesterday. Mr. Ferris started the street sprinkler yesterday, but as the tank leaks badly, he is unable to give good service yet. He will do the best he can this week and make no charge for his services un til next week. The Epworth League will favor their friends with a very unique entertain ment at the opera house Wednesday evening, May 1st, at 8 p. m. Music, recitations, scarf-drill and vignettes from life, that will be most pleasing. The confirmation at the Lutheran church chapel, last Snnday, was an in teresting service. The chapel was tilled and the porch and hall crowded with people desirious of participating in the services. Five persons were confirmed two boys and three girls. ' And now the express companies are standing in and refuse to handle Louie iana lottery tickets or do any business for the company. As the company is forbidden the use of the mails, this action upon the part of the express com panies is a death blow to the lottery. Mrs. Zoe Uayton, the pedestrian, has been delayed in starting on her journey .around the world. . She is now in Port land, but instead ot starting Friday she will not leave until early in May, prob ably 6aturday, the 3d. "She will pass through here on her way, following the Short Line. Judge Liebe and his wife celebrated heir silver wedding yesterday. In the evening, with their invited guests, they repaired to Fraternity hall, where the older folks folks engaged in card playing ' and - other amusements, while the - younger put in the time dancing. Re freshments were served, and everybody bad the best time imaginable. Col. Sinnott told us this morning that the son of his old friehd, George Frauds Train, would be up on the train this afternoon. That his father wrote him some time ago that he would send his boy to sen him. The moment Mr. Train jr., stepped off the other train the Col: recognized him. The salmon, though, are not as plentiful as when his father was here, A fruitgrower at Milton employed sev eral young ladies last year to pack straw berries. Merely tor the joke some of them slipped in a number of boxes short, neatly penned notes, and one was found bv a Spokane musician. He was the leader of the Auditorium orchestra. A correspondence ensued, followed by an accidental meeting, and now the girl has jilted another lover to become engaged to the purchaser of her box of strawber ries. Hugh Medlock, who was wanted at Pendleton for horse stealing, and who led the sheriff a merry chase across country for a month or - more, has been captured and is under lock and key in the Umatilla county jail. On his jaunt this spring he stole horses whenever he needed them and let them go when he had them tired out only to steal more. G. A. Hutchinson, the mail-carrier be tween Ukiah and Long Creek, cap tured him. In the spring, the human body needs assistance to throw off the stagnation produced by winter diet. As the tem perature rises under the growing heat of the sun's rays we feel tired, half-sick and low in spirits, because the blood is sluggish and fuil of impurities. Dr. J. H. McLean's Strengthening Cordial and Blood Purifier is a reliable spring re medy to invigorate the body and give tone to the digestion. Price $1.U0 per bottle. For sale by Suipes-Kinersly Drug Co. The directors of the Oregon Pioneer Association met in Portland yesterday and decided to hold the regular annual reunion on Friday, June 14th, and at Portland. Hon. Wm, Galloway of Yam hill, was chosen to deliver the annual address, and; T. T. Geer of Marion, the occasional address. Mrs. Robert Miller, of Oregon City, daughter of a pioneer, will prepare a paper for the evening, treating of women's experience in cross ing the plains and in pioneering. . Mr, William Kapua was selected as grand marshal and Rev. D. B. Gray, chaplain Young Swarts, who was stabbed by bis father near Salem a week ago, died at St. Vincent's hospital, Portland Tuesday. Swarts is now in jail, with charge of murder hanging over bim. It was a most brutal murder, the testimony of Swarts' children showing not only that he stabbed the boy without provo cation, but that when his victim was lying on the floor bleeding to death, he prevented the poor boy's Bisters staunch ing the flow of blood, saying he wanted him to die. If there is rope and gallows timber left in Oregon, it should be used on the old brute at once. Mr. Ferris who arrived from the Yakima reservation Tuesday, tells us he ran across some relics of the Indian war that may be remembered by some of the Dalles people. Years ago, when about to start out on an expe.di.ion against the Indians, Mrs. Berry and Mrs. Pomeroy made a handsome silk flag, which they presented to Captain Nathan Oiney, at that time a resident of The Dalles, After the war was over Captain Oiney settled in the Yakima valley, ariH took unto himself a wife from the Yakima tribe. He died several years ago, but bis widow, now quite an old woman, still keeps the flag, which she exhibits, along with he husband's cane and sword, with a great deal of pride. Friday'! Dai lv Vignettes from "Life," at the opera house, Wednesday evening,' May 1st, Come and see C. D. Gibson's beautiful American girl in her most attractive toiletts. Quite a number of teams arrived from Prineville yesterday and are loading freight for that place today. Among them we notice G. W. Cantrell, . G. Cantrell and John Do'rsey. Misses Annie and Laura Thompson treated about seventeen of their young lady friends to a picnic on one of the loveliest spots on the bank of Mill creek today. Mr. Richmond sarted out early this morning with the wagonette loaded with a jolly crowd of girls, and as the day has been perfect, no doubt the first picnic of the season was as happy a one as will be had this summer. The city conncil met last night, but as I near as we can learn ran against a stump, It was intended to have the charter amended so as to provide for bonding all the indebtedness up to the time the bonds were issued, but through some oversight tbe new charter only provides for bonding the indebtedness up to Jan uary 1st. As this would leave about $4,000 of debt unprovided for, eome of the council men objected to issuing the bonds. Just what course will be taken is not yet determined upon.

Andrews teacher, spent the time with tbe pupils in clear ing the grounds; as they already contain many native trees. In the city schools exercises were not generally held, as the grounds had here tofore been filled with trees. At the new' school at East Hill, however, a dozen trees were planted and a nice pro gram rendered, with many visitors present. - At the Academy Park school the trees, which had so long been neg lected, were thoroughly pruned, adding much to the beanty of the grounds. . District No. .18, Miss Lida Johnson teacher Each pupil planted a tree, tor which they are to care, and had tbe fol lowing program; Reading, "Law of Arbor Day ;" song, "Gay and Happy recitation. ''Beautiful Things;' recita tion, "A Puzzling Question ;" "Song of Dedication;" recitation, "The Cunning Old Crow;" "Chorus of the Flowers;' recitations, "The Little Seed," "Little by Little," "Trees," "Work and Play;' song, "Invocation." District No. 26, J. B. Gorham teacher Cared for trees already planted, planted a dozen more, and tbe teacher took oc casion to impress upon tbe minds of the pupils the importance of the day. District No. 56, Viento, Miss Katie Davenport teacher Decorated the school room with a prolusion ot nowers and evergreens, and had a literary program consisting of recitatione, songs, etc. No trees were planted, as kind nature had done this work for them already. A speech, emphasizing the observance and remembrance of .the day, closed the ex ercises. Victor iotes. IOURt CPEC1 SHLE. Saturday, April 27th. Victor is improving right along. Mr. Gordon has enlarged his store building and fitted up a nice postoffice with a cabinet of seventy-eight boxes. This will give each regular patron of the office a pox. Tbe unloading and placing of a 1200 pound safe, seems to say that Mr. Gordan is at Victor to stay, and that he means business. The young grain is growing nicely. Juniper Flat is destined to be the best part of Wasco county. There is no other part of the country which yields more grain to the acre. Tbe Flat is about twelve miles square. It would be difficult to find in this entire body of land, a quarter section having less than 100 acres of the best quality of farm land. X. X. X. Irony Of Fate. Professor Bischof, a prominent physi cian, was vehemently opposed to the ad mission of female students at the Uni versity of St. Petersburg and in general to any concession made to the woman's rights advocates. He argued that it was wrong to put a woman on on equal foot ing with a man as far as mental capa city was concerned, and gave as a reason (or tbis statement that the average weight of a woman's brain (three pounds four ounces) was three and a half ounces lees than that of a man. ne died not long ago and upon an autopsy being performed bis brain was weighed. How odd that its weight was even a trifle less than the average claim ed for the eex he deepi.-ed. St. Peters burg Letter. Indigo S"dal.

Snipes Kinersly Drug Co. - Senator Elkins, accompanied by his wife and son, arrived on the Regulator yesterday evening. . The party came as far as the Cascades in their private car, arriving there at 11 o'clock. As the sen ator waf secretary of war at the time tbe contract was let for the completion of tbe locks under the contract system, and as he bad urged the adoption of that plan, he was much, interested in the work, which he examined very tbor oughly. He is very practical, and at first glance expressed astonishment at the stupendous character of the work He pronounced it tbe fineBt piece of work in the United States, but added 'The trouble is that the work has been done on too large a scale. The canal ehould have been made smaller. and bad this been done, it would have been completed years ago. As it is I am convinced that next spring will see the work completed and realize that it means a great deal to the people of Eastern Oregon." Commenting npon the boat railway proposition, he said: "I am opposed to it, for at the best it is but an experiment, but I am heartily in favor of a canal. Not such a canal as you will have at the Cascades, but canal that will pass boats of 500 or 600 tons, big enough to do the business of the country for years to come. The Columbia is a grand river and I become bewildered in contemplating the future of the great basin wbich it drains. Whoever named it the Inland Empire had a proper conception of its magnl tude. I believe a small canal will open the river and do it more cheaply and much more expeditiously than the rail way, and besides it would save the cost of operating probably $100,000 a year. . . The party were the guests of Mr. I. N. Day, who topk them for a drive over the city. Many of our citicens called to pay their respects to the senator and many more would have done so bad they known positively of his coming. The senator's special ear was attached to the passenger last night, and the party left for Salt Lake, delighted with their trip up the Columbia and firm friends to all measures pertaining to the speedy open ing of our great waterway. . son, Alfred Liebe, and Mr. G. W. Davey ; from Astoria, Mr. A. Scberneckau and wife and Miss N. Sauter. License Them. A Silver Wedding. Judge George A. Liebe and his good wife celebrate today their silver wed ding, the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. Twenty-five years ago in Cassef Hessen, Lena Bauer became Mrs. George A. Liebe, and shortly after she accompanied her husband across the ocean, they coming direct to The Dalles. Here for twenty-five years, heloved by all who knew them, they have lived a peaceful, bappy and con tented life. A family of sturdy boys and bright girls have grown, or are growing up, an honor to their parents and to be a pride and comfort in their old age. Relatives and friends have come from Portland and Astoria to rejoice with them ; but while they cannot be pres ent, both Mr. and Mrs. Liebe can feel certain that everybody in The Dalles shares 'their joy and rejoices with them that they have been permitted to travel so far along the pathway of lite together, and unite in hoping that yet another mile-stone,, the golden one, may. be passed ere either be taken. Those who came up from Portland are: Mr. Theodore Liebe, wife and child, Mr. A. Burkhardt and wife, his The country is being over-run with peddlers, to the damage of everybody concerned, except themselves. The parties who buy of .them are generally more or less duped, as the stocks of goods peddled are generally old-fash ioned shop-worn stuff that is dear at any price, and the merchants who hare good stocks have their trade curtailed, As none of these pay taxes it is highly proper that their business should be licensed, so that they are placed more nearly under the burdens that our mer chants have to bear. A tax of not less than $100 a quarter should be levied upon them, and in the meanwhile those who have goods to purchase had better patronize their local merchants, whether of The Dalles or otherwise. Tour home merchant will, generally do better by you than anybody, and besides be, and not the peddler, is the man who carries you when you need it. Purchased Fifteen Bund red Steers. J. C. Lonergan, representing a South ern Idaho cattle company, was in the city again last night, having completed a purchase of 1500 head of steers at Eu gene. The price, he stated, at the time he bought was considerably lower than that for wbich cattle have been held in Eastern Oregon. Stock is raised in large numbers in tbe Willamette valley, and a good proportion of it will be shipped east from there this spring. The beef cattle around this section, Mr. Lonergan states, are pretty well shipped out. His stock will be moved in about a month to the Montana range, from where, he es timates, 400,000 cattle Will be bought in the fall for the Eastern market. Tbis ill exceed any previous output for single year, but depends entirely on the continued high price of beef. Pendle ton Tribune. The Concert. The concert at the Congregational church last night was certainly a grand success everyway. The building was filled to its utmost seating capacity and the music was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Mrs. Heald rendered two numbers on tbe piano and was heartily encored each time. . The recitation and encore by Miss Grubbs was in her usual ex cellent style, wbich is always more than appreciated by a Dalles audience. Miss Aldrich of the Locks, favored tbe audience with two songs and was en cored both times. Miss Anne Smith sang two pieces and responded to an en core. The duet by Miss Schmidt and Mr. Burchstorf received unstinted praise, and the entertainment concluded with tbe laughable farce, "The Mouse Trap, in which the mouse was not in it.
