Editor Chsokiclb : Following are a
few items of news which may be of in-
. terest to your readers :
Last Sunday memorial services were
held in the Christian church at Wasco,
Rev. Barnes officiating. The attendance
of old soldiers was not as large as might
have been expected, bnt those who were
present enjoyed the services greatly and
erjeak in high terms ot the sermon
preached by Rer. Barnes.
Memorial dav will be observed in
Moro with appropriate exercises. Hon.
G. M.Irwin, state superintendent of
public instruction, will be present and
will deliver the oration. A procession,
composed of members of the Grand
, Army, the I. O. O. F., the Masons. K.
of P., order of the A. O. TT. W., the
pupils of the public schools and citizens
generally, will form at the Presbyterian
church at 10 o'clock a. m., and will
march to the gronnds where the exer
cises will be rendered. Good music will
be furnished by the Moro and Michigan
braes bands. The forenoon exercises
will consist of vocal and instrumental
music, recitations and short speeches,
' etc. In the afternoon, at 2 o'clock, Hon.
G. M. Irwin will deliver an oration, and
as he is a cultured speaker, it is expected
that he will have a large and apprecia
tive audience. In the evening Mr.
Irwin will deliver a lecture on education,
which will doubtless prove most interest
ing and instructive.
I regret to say that H. F. Powell .is
still very low, but he is receiving all the
care and attention that loving parents
and kind friends can bestow.
The latest dispatch from Emigrant
Springs is to the effect that the resi
dence of Samuel Ornduff was burglarized
last Saturday. A quantity of clothing
was taken, but it is. thought that little,
if any, money was found. Emigrant
Springs is rapidly' carving for itself a
niche in the temple of (criminal) lame
It is but a short'time ago that the house
of Allen Gilmour, one of Sherman
county's respected citizens, was entered
by a desperado (?), who with a revolver
pointed at Mr. Gilmour, demanded all
the spare cash there was in the house.
The next item on the program was the
burning of C. E. Jones' house and barn,
while Mr. Jones was away hauling wood
at Antelope. The stealing of a saddle,
belonging to T. J.,Yarbrough had hardly
ceased to be food for the gossips, when a
fresh topic was furnished by the robbery
of OrndufFs house. Oh! I had almost
forgotten the malicious cutting down of
Charley Hill's fence, which took place a
few weeks ago. Charlie is one of the
best fellows in the county, and whoever
wantonly destroyed his property must be
possessed of an infinitesmally small
soul small enough to go through the
eye of a needle.
The Sunday school picnic held at
Moro last Saturday was well attended,
and an interesting programme was ren
dered.
The recent rains have wrought a won
derful change in the appearance of the
Sherman county wheat fields, and the
farmers are correspondingly jubilant.

Miss Alice Onfl'y Kecelres Honor

so large a number. Miss Duffy a many
friends heartily congratulate her.

Presentation to Mlsa Bolllster.
One of the pleasantest occurrences of
the year took place last evening at the
residence of Dr. Hollister. Word had
gone out that Miss Matilda Hollister
was soon to leave for the East, with the
possibility that .she would not .return
The members of the Orchestral Union
of whom Misa Hollister has long been
one, felt as if they wished to show some
appreciation for her kindness in playing
with them so long; and so among them
selyes they planned how best they could
show their good will and kindly -feeling.
About 9 o'clock last evening the or
chestra quietly assembled in the yard of
the doctor, where Miss Hollister is stay
in?, and soon the sweet tones of music
floated on the evening air. The occu
pants of the house were considerably
surprised, and not a little pleased at the
compliment so sincerely shown. After
the playing of several selections the
young gentlemen were invited into the
house, where another impressive scene
was enacted. After some conversation
Rev. W. C. Curtis stepped forward, and
a few well-chosen words presented to
Miss Hollister,' in behalf of the Orches
tral Union, an elegant gold watch and
chain. The recipient, though consider
ably taken unawares, feelingly expressed
her thanks to her friends lor their grace
ful act, and hoped that 'when another
vear has rolled around it will have
proved a prosperous one to them. The
evening waa then spent in . having a
good time, during which dainty refresh
ments were served.
Those of the orchestra who were pres'
ent besides Miss Hollister were Prof.
Bergfeld, Mark Long, Harry Burchtorf,
J. P. Benton, Julius Fisher. Ed M. Wil
Hams, Will Corson, Jud Fish, Lewis
Matlock, Chris Paulsen, J. C. Fritz, Ally
Henderson, Harry Liebe, Carl Gottfried
and Jos. Koehler. In addition to these
were present as guests Dr. and Mrs
Hollister. Rev. W. C. Curtis, Mrs. Wm
Birgfeld, Mrs. Otto Birgfeld and Miss
Marden.
Deschutes Precinct.
The following, taken from an eastern
paper, will be of great interest to many
people in The Dalles: ,., .
'"The undersigned, surviving members
of the committee appointed by The
American Humane Education Society to
decide who are entitled to the two $100
prizes offered by said society for 'The
best plan of peacefully settling the diffi
culties between capital and labor,' and
'The best plan .of preventing poverty
and " relieving the poor,' respectfully
report:'. ' That ninety-five essays were
received from writers , in twenty-two
states. That the essay signed 'John
Dillard,' and which proves to have been
written bv Henry Cbilds Merwin. Esq.,
of Boston, is entitled to the prize for
"The best plan of peacefully settling the
difficulties between capital and labor,'
and the essay signed 'Jason Courtland
Dutton" and which proves to have been
written ' by Alice E. Duffy of Waukon,
Allamakee county, Iowa, is entitled to
the prize for 'The best plan of prevent

, Until after this decision was made, we
bad opened none of the sealed letters,
and the name of no one of the essayists
was known to the committee.

Miss Duffy, who has been so signally
. honored was a resident of The Dalles
. several years ago, and occupied the po
sition of assistant principal of our pub
lic schools. . Since her removal many
friends have heard from her, and of her,
so that none who know her superior
mental gifts will be surprised that she

eyes for the much-needed rain, that still
persists in not coming. It is Tery dry
and vegetation needs a soaking rain.

of the Deschutes will raise fruit abund

Sheep shearing is about over. Some
of the sheep are already in the mount

and justly too, at the course of the offi
cials at Washington in regard to the Mt.
Hood Reserve, that they cannot graze
their stock within its limits. They

is the next calamity to come. This ad

The roads all over the county are in
unusually good repair, and are a credit
to their respective supervisors. Let
them keep np the present condition.

Lots of Sheep.
Mr. Geo. A. Young is moving his
sheep to the summer range near Mt.
Adams. They arrived here this morning
and the ferryboat has been busy all
morning, transferring to the number of
several thousand. As they came down
Second street they filled it completely
for a distance of several blocks. Manv
people found it an amusement to stand
on the railroad bridge and watch the
efforts of the ferrymen and herders to
get them on the boat. Looking at their
actions one could not help agreeing that
of all animals the sheep is the stupidest.

The Latest From Cascade Locks.
Mr. Bergeron of Cascade Locks visited
our office today and told of the condition
of affairs at the government works. A
temporary bulkhead has been built over
the gates and thus far has kept out the
water, which is higher than the gates.
The contractora allowed the canal to fill
to the depth of eixteen feet in order to
lesson the pressure against the gates. If
the water risea no higher this season
than it now is pumps will be set to work
that will soon empty the canal and allow
work to be resumed.
Mr. I. N. Day said Sunday evening
that if the river stopped rising, a large
force of men would be put to work next
week to continue through the season.
There are now between 150 and 200 men
at work including stone cutters, but with
the increased force the number will
again reach its former size. The past
year has seen much work done on the
locks and light ia beginning to shine
through the darkness. A year ago at
thia time great damage was threatened
to the canal by the water but now the
discomfiture is only temporary.

A Notorious Character Leaves the
dletoa JaiL. in Daylight.
.Pendleton, May 27. there was a
sensational delivery Sunday evening
from the Umatilla county jiil, in which
one of the most notorious characters of
this county escaped. Ike Tarr brought
three horses in from the reservation, two
of them for Joe and Henry Parr, who
were captured after an exciting chase,
by Indian policemen, several weeks ago,
on charges of horsestealing and trying to
kill an Indian posse. A large bar was
sawed off and bent down and Joe crawled
through, jumped on his horse and flew
to his friends, who equipped him for
flight to the mountains.
The courthouse ia in the middle of a
block of land, exposed on all sides, and
the escape was mado in broad daylight.
Henry Parr was too large to get through
the opening. How the thing was accom
plished is shrouded in mystery. The
officers are chasing Parr.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Cure ia the only posi
tive cute known to the medical frater
nity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall's' Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in ita
curative powers, that 'they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testimo
