LOCAL BREVITIES.
Wednesday'! Daily.
Wm. Weggerman is moving his shoe
shop back to his old quarters'.
The courthouse flag is at half-mast to
day out of r.eepect to the late Secretary
Qresham.
The upper river is reported stationary
The river here will rise slightly for the
ezt two days.
Weather forecast for Wednesday is
fair, followed with showers. Thursday
showery with stationary temperature,
Alex. E. McLennen of Antelope today
declared his intention before the county
lerk of becoming a citizen of the United
States.
The water this morning stands at 27.8
above low water mark. This is a rise of
one and five-tenths since yesterday,
which taking into consideration the cool
weather is rather surprising.
We notice by the Oregonian that G.
W. Crossen sang the solo "O Promise
Me" at the Portland University com
mencement exercises. The young man
is a son of J. B. Crossen of this city.
A young lad by the name of James
Ball was severely bitten several days ago
bv a large dog in the east end of town.
There is always danger of blood poison
ing from the bite of a dog and the friends
of the boy will not feel at ease till the
wound is entirely healed.
' A party of young bicyclists reached
The Dalles last evening, having ridden
from Yakima across the mountains.
They took the boat for Portland this
.. morning.. in former times a vast
amount of travel came from Yakima to
this point, but since the opening of the
Northern Pacific such a journey is seldom
made.
No observation car was attached to
the local today. This institution has not
proved the glittering success that Mc
Neil thought it would be. However,
tl5 weather has been too cool to give
thenar a fair show, and warmer days
may call it back into service.
; Two clips of wool were sold from the
. Wasco warehouse yesterday. One was
a lot of 167 sacks, while the other was
nder a hundred Backs. The price
could not be learned, but Mr. Lord, the
manager, stated that 'the prospects for
wool are better than they were a year
ago at this time. Two cars of wool from
Arlington were received and unloaded at
the warehouse.
Commodore Jensen, of the ferryboat,
is going to pump out the sunken Inland
Star and raise her. When the commo
dore was aeked just what he was going
to do with the boat, he replied that it
was to be run in connection with the
air ship from Goldendale. The air ship
will land at Grand Dalles and transfer
passengers to the Inland Star and The
Dalles will become the terminus of
another water transportation line.
Wheat is selling today at the Diamond
mills for 47 cents per bushel and free
ferriage. This brings it to over 43 cents,
which considering the times is getting
towards a good figure. The Dalles pa? s
the highest price for the products of the
interior and it pays producers to haul a
long ways to reach bur markets.- Let us
give the farmers our aid toward getting
good roads or better ones and that is
doing for them their greatest need.
Mr. Rasmus has completed arrange
ments for putting the play of Damon
' and Pythias on the stage. The members
of the Home Dramatic club have kindly
agreed to assist and will complete the
greater part of the caste. The partici
pants will meet Mr. Basmua this even
ing in Scbanno's hall for the purpose of I
assigning the parts and making arrange
ments for rehearsing. The exact date of
the performance is not known, but it
will probably be somewhere abont June
15th. The Knights of Pythias lodge
will be the beneficiaries.
Another enterprise is being started in
The Dalles, which is one long needed.
Mr. F. E. Hicks and his partner, Mr.
Anderson, have rented the empty build
ing this side of Van Bibber & Worsley's
tore, and are putting in a steam laun
dry. They have complete apparatus,
and are placing in position all the latest
appliances for doing good work. The
gentlemen have had twenty years ex
perience in the steam laundry business,
and are confident The Dalles is a good
point to establish their plant. Every
industry that comes to town is gladly
welcomed.
A year ago today at 8 a. m. the water
wren Front street and the railroad
track wfb covered. All the residents
were moving out and false flooring was
being placed in the hotels. A glance at
the Umatilla House register of twelve
months ago shows that on May 30th, at
9:30 a. m., the water stood seven inches
on the floor; at 10:30 it was eight
inches: at noon nine inches and at 10 p
m. the mark was eleven inches. The
contrast between now and then is one
immensely in favor of the present, as
the scene of desolation is one that needs
no repeating. This country likes water
coming down instead of up.
The eonntv commissioners held a
special session yesterday afternoon and
this morning. County Judge Blakeley
and Commissioners Darnielle and Blow
ers were present. The object for which
the meeting was mainly called was to
look over the tax roll and make final
. .1
corrections before commanaing me
sheriff to lew on any property. The
court is determined to collect the delin
quent taxes of 1891-'92-'93 and '94. The
petition from the Hood Kiver Soring
Water Co., to lay down pipes and main
tain a water system in the town of Hood
River, was granted. Hood River will
have a good system of water works, as a
snlendid source of supply is near at
hand.

The Regulator carried a large number
of passengers down the river this morn
ing. Eleven horses formed a part of the
cargo. Business continues very good in
both directions.
Three large bands of sheep were cross
ed on the ferry boat today. There must
have been over 10,000 all together. One
of the bands belonged to Mr. A. R,
Thompson of this city.
A sign in Portland noticed by a gentle'
man from The Dalles had this unique in
scription ; 4 Sayil Bio Kost Datz Cheep,
The seller's intentions were much
better than his spelling.
The water is now over the gates at the
lockd and the canal is full. As the water
flowed over the top of the gate it made a
beautiful tali which attracted a great
crowd of admirers at the locks.

in Dnfur regarding one of its citizens
and we hope they will bury the hatchet.
Justice Davis imposed a fine of $75 or
Z74 days in jail upon Bertie Stewart

Atty. Phelps and the defense by H. H.

the state and told bow it was that

tions of the prosecuting attorney and

Reminiscence.
Thirty years ago today a flagstaff was
raised on board the steamer S. G. Reed.
Yesterday the flagstaff, with the gilt
ball at the top, was sent over, to the rail
road shops at Albina that the ball might
serve as a pattern for a new one. The
tinsmith cnt it open, and inside found a
note inclosed in a brown paper envelope.
addressed ,'To the Finder." The note
was as follows: "Portland. Or., May
29, 1865 This flagstaff was raised today
by order of the Oregon Steam Navigation
Company, by William Gates, who has
signed his name on the margin, assisted
by Daniel ti. roster, who looked on. and
furnished the whiskey. President J. T.
Ruckles ; vice president. S. G. Reed."
The names of William Gates and Daniel
B. Foster are written on the margin.
The note was taken care of by Master
Mechanic J. F. Graham. All the old
time citizens knew S. G. Reed, now liv
ing in southern California, and most of
them remember Foster, who for years
had a baron the company's boats, and
who died some years since. Mr.Ruckle
was one of the organizers of old
Oregon Steam Navigation Company, and
built the old tooth bridge at the Uas-
cades. Gates may have been some re
lative of John Gates, so long chief en
gineer of the company, Oregonian.
William Gates, who is mentioned
above was no relation to John Gates,
the old time chief engineer, but was a
ship carpenter who in the year 1862 in
company with Capt. Ankeny and D. S.
Baker built the steamer Spray and ran
her from Celilo up the river. He also
built the Owyhee. The Spray after
wards came over the falls and was taken
to the lower Columbia. The Owyhee
was broken up and we believe, during
one of the freshets, her hull came over
The Dalles rapids.
