Tommy, the trick horse, came up on
the Regulator last night.
The boat was quite late last night, not
leaving the locks until 4 :30.
Four drunks yesterday and one today
is the record in the city court.

fountain with all the latest fixtures
Call and see it.
Quite a number of wagons and emi
erant outfits were brought up on the
Regulator last night, bound for the in
terior.
The fineBt rain of the season fell last
night, and as it was followed by warm
weather it is probable we shall have
repetition of it tonight.
Concert, vignettes, etc., etc., at the
opera house tonight. If you don't go.
you won't see some things that you
can't laugh at because you didn't see
'em. See!
The Darrant case begins to look very
hopeful for the prisoner. The Pinker
tons have been called in and no juror
will believe a Pinkerton detective under
oath or anything else.
The Eugene Guard says that Friday
Mr. Frank Hampton will ship five cars
of cattle from that place to Portland,
nd thence to The Dalles by boat.
From here the cattle will be driven to
Crook county.
The Herrick cannery made its first
run this morning, putting up about 1500
pounds of chinooks. Everything worked
smoothly, and all that is now required
to make the business a success is more
fish, and plenty of them.
Mr. E. C. Pentland of Independence,
has begun the publishing of a Sunday
paper, known as the Sunday Record
The new feature of the venture is that he
takes .the dispatches for that morning,
giving his readers the very lateBt news,
Jt ought to receive liberal patronage, for
t is a bright little paper.
Be sure and go to supper this evening
with the ladies of the First Christian
church, in the old Chronicle office,
Tou will have ample time to get a good
square meal, and then attend the enter
tainment at the opera house. Don't
forget to come and after the entertain
ment come back with your best girl and
treat her to ice cream and cake.
The Sunday fishing proposition is re
ceiving considerable attention just now
on account of Washington having abol
ished the law prohibiting fishing on
Sundays. The law is still in force in
Oregon, and as both states have juris
diction over the river, there is quite a
clash of authority. Of course, it does
not seem proper that a man shonld.be
allowed to catch fish on one side of the
river and not on the other on any par
ticular day, but under the existing cir
cumstances this is what is being done.
Some of the Oregon fishermen will
make a test case ot it. We understand
that Attorney General Idleman is pre
paring an opinion on the matter for
the guidance of Fish Commissioner Mc
Guire. j

The Herrick cannery yesterday in it
opening run put up seventy-five cases of
first-class chinook salmon. 'The supply
is increasing daily, owing to more wheels
getting to work rather than to any great
increase in the run.
Two vonne gentlemen -in Portland
wound np a night's dissipation by turn
ing on a fire alarm. Judge Smitn after
listening to their statements, took the
case under advisement for about nan
minute, and then fined them $100 each
Thev will not indulge in that kind of
luxury soon again.
For the nine months ending March 31
the number of persons coming to this
country to find homes was 140,980
against 218,648 in the same time in 1894,
and 259,560 in 1893. The money brought
by them amounted to $2,39o,846, or
about H17 each, and yet we claim there
is a law against pauper immigration
Quite a number of Dalles people went
out to Williams' grove yesterday to at
tend the May-day picnic. They all re
port having had a deiigntiui time,
There were about 200 present, the music
was fine, and the eatables and other
substantial features of the occasion were
all that could be desired. Mr. J. C
Burks, of Sherman county, was orator
for the occasion and his address is highly
spoken of.
Judge Bellinger is "onto his job" all
right, and does not purpose standing in
with the criminal class employed by
this government to promote crime. Doc
Davenport, who is a counterfeiter, was
brought before him for trial for counter
feiting silver coins. He pleaded guilty,
but made a long statement to the effect
that Harris, the United States special
agent, had employed Fresch to get him
to make the coins, Fresch bought the
solder and the plaster for the molds.
Judge Bellinger does not believe special
agents should go over the country
tempting men to commit a crime for the
purpose of having them punished, and
so will discharge Davenport. If the de
partment would follow suit and discharge
Harris, justice would be done.
Friday's Daily.
The Winans' Bros, report ripe straw

The Wasco warehouse received about
one hundred sacks of wool yesterday,

empty, but Mr. Saltmarshe expects 1500
sheep in tonight for shipment to Trout-
dale. Wool as yet is coming in slowly,
Charles Fortune has taken his stable

The Dalles has had less rainfall than
nsual this spring and considerably less
than the territory all around it. Yes
terday there was a generous rainfall in
the southern part of the county, which
extended over Heppner and probably
much further east.
Borne of our yeung gentlemen are ad
vocating the forming of a base ball club,
and to "start the ball" will meet tomor
row evening at 8 o'clock at the council
chambers to discuss the matter. The
Dalles has some excellent material for a
ball club' and should by all means or
ganize, it is a nne athletic sport, tne
national game, and should not be al
lowed to fall into decay.
Mr. Samuel A. Lester of Mitchell,
Crook county, was married at Condon
Monday, April 29th, to Miss Lizzie
Sherrard of Sumner, Coos county. Mr.
Lester was formerly clerk at the Warm
Springs, and is a bright, energetic and
clever gentleman. We have not the
pleasure of knowing Mrs. Lester, but
congratulate her on having won a man
worthy of her, though she were a queen.
The Herrick cannery made another
small run today, putting up about fifty
cases. Quite a number of our citizens
visited the cannery, and were all pleased
with the completeness of the plant.
The run is still light, but if there is even
moderate rnn the cannery will have all
the fish it can handle, but Mr. Herrick is
confidant that he can easily handle all
that can be caught by running at night
by doing so he can put up 1500 cases
in twenty-four hours.

The Currant Creek Koad.
Last week Mr. J. H. Sherar invited
several citizens of this place out to see
the work he had already done on the
new Currant creek road, a few miles
southeast of here. None could get away
at the time but Messrs. N. W. Wallace
and W. D. Jones, who were out all day
Thursday, and have the following report
to make :
. They say it would surprise anyone to
see the amount of work Mr. Sherar has
done on the road with the limited funds
and in such a short time. It is a very
rough, mountainous country out there,
but the road has been laid out so well
that, when completed, a team could
easily trot up the grade at any place,
there not being a steep place in the
whole road. The sixteen Indians who
are employed are all well experienced
road workers, and one of them could do
as much at his kind of work as could two
or three inexperienced men. The road,
so far as it has been built, is actually the
best highway in this part of the country,
and if the county court will at once ap
propriate $500 with which to complete
the balance of the road, in less than two
weeks there will be no obstruction be
tween the upper country and The Dalles
the best local wool market on the
coast. Heppner is working bard to get a
road through to the Mitchell country,
and if successful it will induce about
the travel to go that way instead of to
The Dalles, that is unless this new Cur
rant creek road is completed at once,
Those who will be benefited most by the
new road will be the business men of
The Dalles, and it is their duty to insist
on the county court appropriating the
requisite amount of money with which
to complete this road. If this is not
done, all the hard work already per
formed will be entirely lost. We believe
the county court will do what is right in
the matter. Antelope Herald.

jiDiTOB tJHRONicLE : I see by your
article in yesterday's issue, that there
are those who are disposed to think that
my enumeration of this city does not
give the population of The Dalles in
numbers to suit their ideas of magnitude,
Now, I was not taking the census for
any particular person or persons, conee
quently I did not inquire just what
numbers would suit them ; but tbe law
makes it obligatory upon me as assessor
of the county to take tbe census of tbe
county, The Dalles included: so
adopted the best and only means by
which a correct enumeration can be had
and that was to take it street by street
and house by house, through the entire
city. I employed two competent men to
assist me and started out with the in
structions that they should miss no
house, one taking one side of the street
and the other the opposite, and miss no
place that any one roomed above or be
low, not even a bachelor's cabin, and
followed street by street and house by
house, Jaking the cross streets myself,
not missing a shanty without finding
out who and how many lived there, and
we came to a house that the lady was
not at borne we invariably found out tbe
name and number of residents by their
next door neighbor,- not doubting its
correctness, and my roll is subject to in
spection by any one and at any time,
and if any of the critics can find a family
in Tbe Dalles that the name and number
is not on my roll, I will find them a five
dollar piece in the ashes, as I had no
interests to serve nor favors to grant,
other than doing my duty in performing
the work and anyone is perfectly wel
come to go over tbe work and I will com
pare rolls with them at any time.

Mr. Kelley 's Roaring; Wells.
Mr. H. Kelley of Juniper Flat made
us a visit this morning and gave us a
monthly record of the action of his two
wells, which we are restrained from
printing on account of its length.
There are two bored wells on Mr. Kel
ley 's place, each six inches in diameter,
one 62 feet deep and the other 110. The
peculiarity of tbe wells is that they are
what is known as breathing wells, hav
ing a current of air flowing out of them
for a time, and then being drawn back.
The air is of the uniform temperature of
52 degrees. Mr. Kelley says that they
record the passing of storms hundreds of
miles away by the velocity of the wind
coming from them, which at time causes
regular roar. The big storm at Seattle
last winter was noted by them with
louder roaring than ever before. Mr.
Kelley says the wells are quiet some
times for an hour or two, but generally
are in operation. He is of the opinion
that the air in them is affected by tbe
tides, but his figures showing that. the
air sometimes comes in the same direc
tion for several days, will not bear out
the statement.
A Neat Catch.
Yesterday afternoon at Umatilla a
man named Jack Welch held up an old
crippled barber, and robbed him of
$87.75. A telegram was sent here to the
marshal describing him and asking that
he be arrested, and stating that he was
coming down blind-baggage. Conductor
Fowler, whose train he was supposed to
be on, also had his description and find
ing the man on tbe platform, instead of
firing him asked him inside, and kept a
watch on him. Arriving here he turned
him over to Nightwatchman Connelly,

about to despair of finding anything, but
on taking off bis shoes $87 of the money
in bills, and some receipts to the man

He is at present confined in the city
jail, but Sheriff Hauser, of Umatilla
county, will be down after him tonight,

go over the road. .
Endersby Notes.
PERSONAL
MENTION.
The May day picnic at the Campbell
grove was a grand success. The morn
ing opened with light showers of rain,
which no doubt kept many from coming,
Notwithstanding the heavy threatening
clouds which floated over the horizon,
sending forth at frequent intervals
showers of earth's delight, which was
no doubt gladness to the growing grain,
At the early hour of 9 o'clock' could be
seen carriages, men women and children
on horseback, wending their way to tbe
Campbell grove, where everything was
in readiness for a big time. Soon was
heard the familiar cry of "Ice cream
arid lemonade, stirred up with a spade;"
also tbe cry of the phonograph man,
vjith tbe hose attachments to fit the ear,
whispering the song or lecture spoken
weeks before without disturbing the
peace and quiet of those around, for the
small sum of 5 cents.
Eleven o'clock having arrived, we
looked around to see all the vacant seats
occupied, with groups of smiling faces
standing or reclining near by, and bands
of gaily dressed children scampering to
and fro, indicating by their movements
they were most interested. It was May
dav : lets crown the queen. Soon we see
the genial face of Mr. Brigham of Dufur,
who is escorted to tbe platform by the
Harmony class, where there are in wait
ing to the left the three young ladies,
dressed in white, who are to do honor to
the occasion. A song by tbe Harmony
class, "Merry May," and a neat and ap
propriate speech for the occasion by the
speaker, the three young ladies in
white arose and stepped to the front
of the platform, the maids of honor Miss
Cora Wingfield on the left, and Miss
Myrtle Patterson on the right, with a
beautiful garland of flowers they crowned
Miss Daisy Davidson queen of the May,
who' recited with her usual style and
gesture, "Tbe Frozen North to Southern
Climes," holding the vast audience en
raptured during the recitation. Con
gratulated by their friends and admired
by all, thoee three will not soon forget
the picnic in the Campbell grove.
And now for the baskets and boxes
filled with good things. It looked as if
all intended to stay a week, each bring
ing enough for themselves and friends,
so there was plenty to eat and to spare.
The day being fine the afteruoon was
spent in laughable games until the even
ing, when we found they had not only
come for the picnic but the grand con
cert at night. Long before the time for
opening the crowd wanted admittance.
Only by tbe sweet strains of the Dufur
band was the crowd kept out until the
time for opening. We will simply say
we had not the room to hold all that
wanted admittance. The windows were
thrown open and all that could squeeze
their heads in did so, to get a glimpse of
what was going on. The program being
long and the hall and ante rooms
crowded, half past ten found us not near
through, so we bad to close with several
'pieces left. The receipts for the evening
were much larger than expected.

There are at present six factories in
this country manufacturing sugar from
beets. Three of these are located in
California, two in Nebraska and the re
maining one in Utah. A plant has been
located in Virginia, but has never been
operated on tbe same scale as the others.
The largest of these factories is tbe one
at Watsonville, Cal., which has a cap
acity of about 1,000 tons of beets per day.
The Chino faclory consumes eight hun
dred tons. It was enlarged during the
past season and now, perhaps, equals
that at Watsonville. The other factories
each average about eight hundred tons
daily.

Bikes.
Mays & Crowe have added to their al
ready extensive stock the largest and
most complete line of bicycles in tbe
city. For a $100 wheel they have the
Rambler, which is one of the best known
bicycles on the market. It has many
special features and patents, not found
on any other wheel, oneof which is their
detachable tire, which is admitted to be
the best tire yet discovered, and which
is now used by half of the manufacturers
in the United States. They also have
the agency, direct from the manufac
turers, for the celebrated Waverly bi
cycles, which are forging ahead of every
thing else this seaaon, the factory hav
ing already tnrned out over 20,000 of tbe
'05 wheels, and not being able at the
present time to fill their orders. Thia
wheel is certainly a very handsome one,
and is claimed to be the highest of high
grade, and what is still better they sell
for $85 and tbe ladies' wheel for $76.
In addition to these they have the
Chicago Ideals, which are made by the
manufacturers of the Rambler, as a
second grade wheel, are strong and sub
stantial, and it is hard to see the differ
ence between them and the $100 wheel.
These are sold at $55 and $65.
They alBO have bicycles to rent, by the
day or hour.

Mv little son, aged three, was very mnch
troubled with a breaking out on bis ccalp
and behind his ear. The places affected were
about as large as a silver dollar: the 6esh
seemed raw and covered with little blisters.
The child suffered considerably, and was nat

without obtaining any beneficial results: in
fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. I concluded to
try the Ccticura Remedies. I washed the
affected parts with tbe Cuticura Boar, tak
ing care not to irritate the flesh, and applied
Cgtxcuka.. I noticed a change for the better
in the appearance of the eruptions in twenty
four hours, and in two weeks the eruptions
entirely disappeared, leaving the skin moo Ox
and the scalD clean : in fact a perfect core.
as I have not seen any indications of any
