seems determined that the hot wave in
the East shall not reach us here.
The nOrmal teachers' institute will be

amused last evening watching a drunken
man riding a bucking horse. He stuck

arrested.
Thb Chronicle office is in receipt of a
handsome pictnre of the late Geo. W,

Co., of La Crosse, Wis., for this hand
some addition to our sanctum.
The water commission have placed
several water meters in position at differ
ent points of the town and the. experi
ment proves that the measure taken was
a wise one. : The waste that occurs is
very large and it is true that a great
amount of water needlessly runs which
does no good to anyone and materially
lessens the supply in the reservoir.
The stockyards presented a busy scene
last evening. The train for the East was
being loaded and " the - corrals were
crowded with animals destined fsr the
slaughter house. The outside fences
were lined with spectators who watched
the efforts of the men loading the cars,
with a great deal of interest. The cattle
were a fine looking lot and will doubt
less bring the top notch price in the
Eastern market.'
' The moonlight excursion Friday night,
June 7th, promises to be one of the
pleasantest events of the summer. A
trip down the Columbia on a commodious
steamer with the music of the Orchestra
Union and the hills lit up by the moon
light will appeal to any one's fancy. A
two hour dance, with music by the
orchestra, will be given at Hood River.
Fare for the trip including admission') to
the hall is only 50 cents.
Just to prove that chicken raising is a
profitable business, Mr. S. B. Adams
showed Tax Chboniclb ' yesterday a
piece of gold taken from a chicken's giz
zard. The mineral was without a doubt
the genuine article and the discovery
shows that England is not altogether to

The Regulator yesterday took a cargo
of Indians for Hood River. They were
huddled together on the lower deck in a
way that required ingenuity on Purser
French's part to tell what was siwash
and what was not. N
Two carloads of berries were shipped
last night from Hood River. This ex
pression may seem stereotyped, but
every carload means lots of money to
shippers this season. The oaggage car
was well filled with crates.
Senator Mitchell had a conference

an encampment was informally dis
cussed. The general impression seemed
to te that if one is beld Hood River
would be a suitable place.- We would
venture to ask what is the matter with
The Dalles being the proper place.

HON. A. J. DUFUR DEAD.
The Pausing- Away of u Agri Plone.r
Hi ffil Prominent In tbs state--A
Useful Life I Closed.
The boat leaves the dock at 7 :30.
This morning two wagons loaded with
woo went into the ditch just this side
of G. H. Riddell'a place, ten miles from
town. A gully crosses the road there,
and Is spanned by a bridge. One of the
wagons was trailing, and after the bridge
was passed, got off the road and tumbled
into the gully, dragging the other wagon
after it. The gulch is about fifteen feet
deep, and the wagons, were made into
kindling wood. The horses were not
injured. The men are now dragging the
wool up to the level, and with the aid of
a new wagons will get it into town.
Lrst evening at about 6 o'clock Attor
ney E. B. Dufur received word that his
father was dying at Dufur. The mes
senger gave no further particulars, and
Mr. Dutur hastened to reach the bed
side of bis father before death should
come. Leaving town with all baste, he
bad just reached the top of the Benson
grade when another messenger met bfm
saying his father, Hon. A. J. Dufur
was dead. The end was not unlooked
for, as the aged gentleman had long
been ailing, though tbeie had ' been
nothing noticeably of late to give any
premonition of death. Yesterday after
noon he did. not feel as well as usual
and lay down. Soon it was seen the
end was near, and all the children were
summoned. Mr. Dufur lingered uncon
scions for some time, and died at about
6 o'clock last evening. . His children,
with the exception of Mr. E. B. Dufur,
were present at the bedside. Several
years ago Mr. Dutur received a stroke
that left him in an enfeebled condition.
He has lived with his daughter, Mrs,
Slasher, in Dufur, but has always been
more or less at the homes of his other
children.
In the death of this venerable gentle'
man there' passes away one of Oregon's
sturdy characters. Mr. Dufur was horn
in Williamstown, Vermont, September
17, 1815, and was thus- in his 80th year
at the time of his death. He has al
ways been a farmer by occupation, and
has beld manv important places in pub
lic life. In 1855 he moved 4o Wiscon
sin. and two years later was eiectea a
member of - the Wisconsin legislature.
In 1859 be crossed the plains, and set
tled on Columbia Slough, near
Portland. Here he . remained till
1872, when tie removed to Wasco county
and with bis sons founded the present
town of Dnfnr. His property interests
hear Portland kept bim a part of the
time there, but for the last ten years he
hat resided continuously in Eastern
Oregon. He leaves three sons, E. B.
Dufur, of The Dalles, and Andrew and
W. H. H. Dufur of Dufur. Mrs. Ara
belle Slusher, at whose house he died,
was bis daughter.
Mr. Dnfur served in the Oregon legis
lature in 1862 and afterwards for two
terms was president of the State Agri
cultural society.
In 1876 he was appointed commissioner
for Oregon at the Centenial exposition
in Philadelphia and ably represented
the state. Mr. Dufur was a highly cul
tured and kindly gentleman and his
peaceful death was a fitting close to a
useful, well rounded life. The friends of
his earlier days have passed away and he
has joined them. His memory remains
a priceless heritage to his children.
The funeral services will beheld to
morrow at Dutur. Key. a. j. xsrignam
will deliver the sermon. The final in
terment willtake place in Lone Fir cem'
etery, where bis remains will be lie be
side those of his wite, who died five
years ago. !. .
1 Frightened by the Cars.
A very serious and perhaps fatal acci
dent happened late yesterday afternoon,
near the ice house by the railroad track,
just east of town. Mrs. Julian and ber
daughter, who live on 15-Milo creek,
were driving in a cart. The road at this
point is very near to the railroad track
and just as the ladies were passing a
train came along and frightened the
horse. The occupants of the carriage
both got ont and tiied to calm the
animal. The daughter had hold of the
horse's bit while Mrs. Julian held the
lines. The horse made a lunge and the
wheel of the cart struck Mrs. Julian,
knocking her against a large boulder and
before she could rise the horse stamped
upon her. Mr. A. M. Chapman, who
was not far away, rushed to the rescue
and the injured lady was soon removed
trom danger. At first she was not
thought to be injured, but when the ex
citement had passed away her pain in'
creased and she was not able totmove,
Mrs. Julian was immediately brought to
town and taken to Mrs. Obarr's, where
medical aid was at once summoned
The horse's hoof had struck ber in the
breast and her spine was also injured
This morning shows little improvement
in her condition and she is suffering a
great deal of pain.
The First Anniversary.
A year ago today the great flood of
1894 was at its height. . For days previ
ous the waters were steadily rising and
no one pretended to say when it would
stop. Thb Chboniclb of a year ago to
dap says: "Mr. Brooks gives is the
reading of the guage this morning as be
ing 59.5 at 9 o'clock, a rise since yester
day at 7:30 of 1.1."
me center ot all business was on
Washington street. The business of the
whole town was huddled in a small
space. .New buildings sprang up with a
mushroom growth. Branners restau
rant, a representation of the Umatilla
House, and six or eight other buildings
were put up within a day. All kinds of
ingenuity were shown in selecting places
of refnge, and business men lost no time
in at least having a place for their signs.
Such a time was never seen before,
and we hope no eyes may ever look upon
the like again. A chiseled mark in the
old Chronicle office, on the corner ot
Second and Washington streets, tells a
mute story of how the waters rose and
covered the land.
And th Wool Still Comas.
.Two car loads of wool were received
this morning at the Wasco warehouse
and their contents are being stored,
The scene at the warehouses gets more
exciting every day. Wool continues to
poor in and the records of all former
years are broken. Mr. Lord has com
pleted a large shed running the entire
length of the brick building on the south
side and is now putting np more shed
ding on the west end. The baler is run
ning at full speed and will probably bale
about 400 sacks today.' The grading is
done under the supervision of Mr. 8.
Wilkinson, who has a fine reputation of
being well skilled in this work. Large
amounts of wool were shipped today to
Albany and Oregon City and some to
San Francisco.
The baler at the Moody warehouse is
now at work and is- decreasing the num
ber ot sacks to make room for more. The
large platforms and a large part of the
railroad freight depot are full of wool
and the bothering question is how to
find room for what is to come. .

Clerks Routine Business.
Owing to a rush of local matter yes
terday afternoon, some interesting new
had to be omitted, and the council re
port could not go in until today.
Most of the business was of a routine
nature. The claim of Mrs. Obarr for
damages on account of her honse being
quarantined was referred to a special
committee, consisting of Coonrilmen
A, R. Thorn psou, M. T. Nolan and G.
C. Esbelman.

Another New Kntorprlee.
Mr. Emil Schanno has purchased the
lot on the southeast of Front and Wash
ington and intends as soon as arrange
ments can be completed to commence
the erection of a large warehouse. InU
probability the building will be occupied
by the Oregon Fruit Union as a storage
and forwardine warehouse. The dimen
sions will be 97x45 feet and will be well
arranged for the handling of a large
amount of frnit. Mr. Schanno is an old
time resident of The Dalles and this
move shows his faith in the town aa
business point that will increase in im
portance in further time. In a conver
sation witb the agent of the Fruit Union
a Cheoniclk reporter was told that the
union was going to remain permanently
in The Dalles and that they consider this
point an excellent one for the extension
of their business.
The property was purchased of some
heirs of T. W. Miller, a pioneer resident
of The Dalles, who died some years ago.
For a number of years Mr. Milter bad s
tin and hardware store on the corner,
but the building was burned down about
ten years ago. The Chbonklk wil be
glad to see the ground occupied and note
another improvement in oar growing
city. ' '
