Alonzo Thomas, aged about 16 years,'
was drowned in Shurtz mill pond, in
Klickitat county, last Sunday afternoon.
He, with two younger brothers, fell off
a log. . Alonco made a hard struggle to
save his brothers, and a pole being
reached them by Fred Fuller, the two
brothers were pulled ashore, but he
sank, and his body was not recovered
for an hour and a halt. - -
The efforts of the recent warm wea
ther are showing themselves in the in
creased volume of water in the Colum
bia, which has been coming up rapidly
for the past three days. It is sixteen
feet above low water mark this after
noon, and will probably reach the 20
foot mark before it is checked. The
weather turned much cooler last night,
and a small sprinkle of rain fell about
midnight. If the cool wave extends to
the source of the river, it will check up
here in about three days.

The river is still rising steadily about

' It was filed upon at once by a gentleman
from this city.
I never beard man or woman much
abused that I was not inclined to think
the better of them, and to transfer the
suspicion or dislike to the one who
found pleasure in pointing out the de
fects of another. Jane Porter.
The Regulator met with an accident
this morning when just ready to pull
out that prevented her making her ran
today. Steam had been turned on and
the wheel was being revolved slowly
when the throttle valve gave way. It
was at first thought it could be repaired
so she could leave at noon, but it could
not be done. A new valve will be up on
the train tonight, and ebe will leave on
time tomorrow morning.
The Eugene Register says : "If you
will notice those who kick most about
toe town being dull .and times being
bard, yon will see that they are people
who patronize outside industries , in
preference to those at borne. Those who
have, the interests of the town at heart
should not deal with those who bestow
their patronage outside of Eugene
in preference to giving it to their
neighbors." ,
The rain of which we got only a
sprinkle Saturday, was much heavier in
the country both to the north and south
of as. In Klicutat valley quite a shower
fell, and commencing a few miles south
of The Dalles the fain was heavy enough
to be of substantial benefit. Out at
Tygh and Bake Oven there was half ah
inch, and at other points one of the
showers, dropped that much. It will
prove of great benefit to the crops, and
especially to the range grass.

The new throttle for the Regulator ar
rived by express last night, and was in
place this morning, so that she pulled
out on time. She had quite a good
passenger list and considerable freight.
A freight train went down through
bridge near Chitwood station, on the
Oregon & California road, yesterday
afternoon. Brakeman Wilcox Was killed
and Conductor Campbell's legs were
broken.
Register Moore, of the land office, is
mourning the loss of bis magnificent old
dog, Bismarck, whom he has considered
almost a member of the family for eight
or ten years. Bismarck was truly
splendid animal, but the spring ran of
salmon ruined him. He took a feed of
chinook with the usual result, and was
very sick for a day and then disappeared
It is quite probable he has sought some
secluded spot and died.

Mr. Herrick will start his cannery to
morrow, having received fish enough to
day that with what he expects tomor
row, he thinks he will have a hundred
cases. We hope this cannery can be
kept running steadily during the season,
for Mr. Herrick deserves a liberal re
ward for his energy and faith in the
business. If truit can be procured cheap
enough, he will try a few hundred cases
this summer, just to see what can be
done witb it, and' to get a practical
demonstration of what the cost will be
The East End presents rather a quiet

This room is nicely carpeted, has plenty
of table room, where letters may be
written and half a dozen drawers, where
papers, conespondence, etc., can be
kept. -This will prove quite a con

A Social Glass.
"A Social Glass" at the opera house
last night did not draw as large a bouse
as it should have done, or as it was ex
pected to do. One reason of this, we
think, was the fact that admission was
placed at 75 cents for reserved seats,
while if it had been 50 cents the bouse
would have beck pretty well filled: - "A
Social Glass," as its name implies, is
temperance play, calculated to show the
danger that, lies in the wine cup. The
play was well put on, but the curtain
did not go up nntil 20 minutes to 9
o'clock, and as the play is in five acts,
and the curtain was down a long time
between them, it was after 11 o'clock
before it. was concluded.
There is some genuine talent in the
Moro Dramatic Club, talent 'the play
was not well calculated to bring out,
owing to its lachrymose character,
Mr. Walter H. Moore as "Charles
Thornly," took the part well, especially
in the first act, which was the only one,
by the way, that gave him much chance
to show what was in him. The drink
ing scene, winSing up with his intoxica
tion, was well done, and hia fall over
come oy liquor and drugs, was some
thing that Menken herself could not
equal. It was natural and realistic.
Clyde Williams as "Howard Hadley,"
and Geo. N. Bolton as "Dr. Slater,"
were well taken, though there was not
much in either part. J. B. Hoeford as
the barkeeper, "Farley," sustained the
'character well, and in the last scene in
which he appeared did some very realis
tic acting. . Wm. Holder as the schem
ing villain lawyer, "Hollis," probably
made a good one, but we never could do
the villain in a play justice, because we
always feel like falling on bim. Mr. C,
E. Brown as "Bob Brittle, the only
light character of a rather lugubrioai
play, made friends with the audience in
leas than a minute after the curtain
raised, and indeed he became the cen
tral figure. His manner on the stage is
easy and natural, and there is no doubt
but that be possesses marked talent
for that kind of work. The ladies had
a hard time of if, as both "Mrs. Thornly'
(Mrs. W. H. Moore) and "Mrs. Farley'
(Mrs. R. L. Campbell) bad very difficult
roles to plav, though both made the
most of them. Mrs. J. B. Hosford as
"Nettle Nettleby" assisted "Bob Brit
tle" in giving a lighter coloring to the
plav.
Taken all in all the play was a success
and those who attended got th full
worth of their monev.
The Census Unsatisfactory. .
The announcement of the result of the
census for this city has awakened a great
deal of comment and argument as to its
correctness and also as to the actual
population .of the city. We did not
make the canvass of the city, conse
quently are not prepared to dispute the
correctness of the ases8or's figures.
Others, however, do so, and point to the
census of school children, in round num
bers 1250, as an evidence that the census
is not lull. According to it there are
1143 persons in the city, counting the
males under 21 years and the females
under 18, while the school censqs, taking
in but a trifling outside territory, shows
100 more than that number between the
ages of 4 and 21. We are free to state
that we were surprised at the figures, as
we had supposed there were not less than
4000 and possibly the number would
reach 4500. ,-
There is only one way to settle the dis
pute, and that is to take the census over
again in a house to bouse canvass. As
some of oar citizens are firmly of the
opinion the city has at least a thousand
more than the population credited to it,
it is probable this will be done at
private expense. The attendance at
the schools, the number of school chil
dren and the number of legal voters all
indicate a population of over 4000.
The Bear Gone..
Floyd Harmon's bear, which has
heretofore furnished The Chronicle
several interesting Items, will leave this
city forever today. - He waa sold Satur
day to the O. R. & N., and goes to Mea
cham to be placed on exhibition at the
company's eating station at that point.
Saturday Mr. Fish, Nick Sinnott, and
two or three others went down into the
basement to put a collar and chain on
him, preparatory to turning him over to
his new owners. He showed Lvht, and
it was only after getting a chain around
his neck and choking him into submis
sion tbat the collar was placed on him.
Yesterday evening he was taken to the
freight depot, and another circus was
had getting him "crated" for shipment.
In the melee he broke bis chain, and
then the tun began and lasted three
hours before he was conquered. He was
finally driven into a corner, one end of
the crate was opened, and it was pushed
around him. He was dead game, and
was only whipped by superior numbers
and a variety of clubs.
And So, They Married.. j
There was a quiet wedding in Fort-,
land last Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock!
that all the good people of The Dalles
are interested in hearing about.. The
wedding took place at the residence of!
Mrs. A. M. Williams, formerly of thia
city, and the services were performed!
by Rev. W. C. Curtis, of the Congrega
tional church of this city, who went 1
Portland for tbat particular purpose J
The contracting parties were Mr. HarH
French of this city and Miss Anna
daughter of Mrs. A M. Williams.
The handsome rooms were tastefully
decorated, dogwood blossoms being the
material used for the purpose, and the
ceremony was performed in a bower
made of the blossom-covered boughs of
that beautiful tree. Only members of
the families and relatives were present.
The young couple came op on the
train Saturday night and took posses
sion of their residence on Fourth street,
The groom is one of The Dalles' most
popular young gentleman, and it is
matter of congratulation to all tbat be
wooed and won one of The Dalles' most
charming young ladies, .and brought her
back here to her old home. - Their mar
ried life begins with the best wishes of
all who know them, and that is every
body, and to the other congratulations
The Chboniclk adds, its paternal bless
ing, and wishes them a pleasant voyage
over the sea, undisturbed by storms
and ending only when old age shall
leave them at the other side, together.
Reply- Proaa Endersby to W. William
In your Saturday's issue of The
Chboniclk we find a letter signed by W,
H. Williams of 8-Mile, which is mis
leading to the general public. He states
the picnic grounds have not been
changed from his grove to the Campbell
grove, and to prove that fact be assumes
he was chairman of the committee on
grounds, which, If true, is known only
to himself, as. there was no chairman-
appointed by us. Admitting he was
self-appointed chairman, what has he
to do with holding the grounds, if the
other two, the majority of the commit
ftee, see fit to change the same for
grounds that suit them better.
He admits there has been some dis
sension but he fails to state it was all on
his part the dissension came. He fails
to state tbat at the commencement there
was a committee of ladies appointed fo
the selection of a May queen and decora
tion. Because they did not turn over
to him the selection and importation of
a May queen, since he was self-made
chairman of the ground committee, the
dissension arose. So we thought best
to leave him, and that wisely, to his
own picnic and grounds. - All the harm
we wifh bim now is the patronage of
the public, which he so richly deserves.
As we have the harmony class, commit
tee, the lady committee and the major
ity of the committee on grounds, with
all the preparations they have been
working, on for the last month, it re
mains to be seen who is the Opposition
D. McG
The Cascade Reservation.
A correspondent writes from Bake
Oven desiring information as to the con
dition of the Caecades reservation, and
as to whether stockmen are forbidden to
pasture their stock thereon. '
The language used by the president in
nis proclamation is: "Tbat tbere is
hereby reserved from entry or settlement
and set apart as a public reservation, all
those certain tracts, etc."
It will be seen from this that the lands
are only withheld from entry or settle
ment. There is nothing mentioned
concerning the use of the land for graz
ing or other purposes, and no intimation
that citizens are to keep off the grass,
Tbere is no penalty provided for tres
passing upon the reservation, and in
fact the only " object in the law was to
prevent the title to the lands passing
from the government. There is no
reason why stockmen should not utilize
the grass, and herd their flocks at will
anywhere they please on the reservation
Keep off the grass only applied to Coxey.
The Monroe Doctrine.
The much talked of Monroe doctrine
was laid down by President Monroe in
his message to the eighteenth congress,
Dec. 2, 1823, and is as follows:
"We owe it to candor and to the amia
ble relations existing between - the
United States and the allied powers, to
declare that we should consider any at
tempt on their part to extend their sys
tern to any portion of this hemisphere as
dangerous to our peace and safety,
With the existing colonies or dependen
cies of any European power we have not
interfered, and shall not interfere ; but
itb the governments which have de
clared their independence and main
tained it, and whose independence we
have, on great consideration and just
principles, acknowledged, we could not
view an interposition for oppressing
them, or controlling in any other man
ner their destiny, by, any European
power, in an other light than as a mani-,
testation of an unfriendly disposition
toward the United States."
Ihree Runaways.
The western end of the county reports
three runaways Saturdav, all attended
by personal injury. Dr. Morgan of
Hood River, was thrown out of his
buggy by its colliding airainst a tree and
sustained severe bruises. Robt. Hard-
