up nu me epure room on me iront ueeK.
The weight was many thousand pounds
and it took considerable time to load
and unload the machinery. The boat
was delayed about a half an hour last
night on this account, but it goes to
show that the steamers can handle any
kind of freight that is given them to
carry. .
The Chronicle was treated to a teast
this morning, which was greatly ap
preciated. Dr. Hesee, who is an artist
in the culinary line, had cooked a royal
salmon and the lion's share reached this
office. The fish was cooked by being
wrapped in paper and placed in the
ashes of a furnace, when it was heated
slowly and thoroughly cooked. Every
one- remarked that a nicer or better
cooked fish they had never eaten.

Colombia companies were cut practicing

contest at Vancouver later in the season.

basis, enforced and elucidated by refer
ence to Euch texts as Acts xvii:xxxi;
Matt, xxv : 31-46 ; Dan. vii : 8-14 ; Rev.
xivt'oVM and others. " The gentlemen
are forcible speakers and people would
do well to 20 and hear them.

thn Woman's Relief Corns and the O. A.
E. in The Dalles, are going to give a re

The spirited team belonging to Mr; E.
E. Lytle added much to the excitement
of last evening. Mr. Lytle was oat driv
ing and stopped at the Cold Storage
works to ' attend to some business.
While he was inside the horses became
impatient and started off on their own
accord. - The further they went the
faster and soon they tore up Second
street at the regulation runaway speed.
Passing E. J. Collins & Co.'s feed yard
they thought it a place to gel a meal and
turned in, at the same time trying to
knok a big freight wagon out of the
road. It was the sauie old story of an
irresistible force and an immovable
body. The horses went one on each
side of the freight wagon and the tongue
the buggy was broken to splinters.
The horses were not injured nor the
buggy, except the tongue, much dam
aged.

bad, ft : large number of fruit boxes
shipped him from Tbe Dalles.,

over to wait tbe grand jury with bonds

The hot weather has brooght swim
nting into vogue, and every day bathers
can be seen going to bath in, the cool
waters of the. Columbia. In the-earn -ner-
evenings bathing is a pleasant di
version, ndL there are many good placets
along the, shores to swim. The water
of the Columbia, is colder than the
waters of most rivers, and the daring
swimer must be careful not to venture
too far, for fear of cramps.
A pleasant party was given during the
week at the farm of Judge Ben nett up
Mill creek. A number of ladies were
invited by Mrs. Bennett and the wagon
ette sent to bring them into the country.
The shade of tbe trees was delightful
and the change from the hot weather of
tbe town to the cool air along the creek
made the daj enjoyable to all. A de
licious repast was served out of doors
after which the guests returned home.''';
In last Saturday's issue the Item
about tbe crazy man at the courthouse
switched the names arounS and instead
of Williams, the insane man's. name, be-H
ing printed, read the name of Jack
Powers, the , deputy " sheriff, instead.
Everyone vho is acquainted with. Jack
Powers knows he is too good natured to
ever get to the asylum and it is doubt
ful if he ever thinks himself worth a
million dollars as the poor crazy inaA
did.
Mr. James McMillan, . of Sherman
county, was in The Dalles yesterday on
bis way to Portland. He says that up
to this week the grain was in. good con
dition and could stand three or four
days of hot weather- provided the east
wind did not blow. The grain in some
parts of this county and especially near
Boyd and for a few miles south is said to
be commencing to barn. The volunteer
wheat is not doing well in any localities
and the spring crop will be short. If
the weather changes after today and cool
winds come from the west we may make
out a fair yield in the fall sown grain.
Never in the history of this county have
the farmers desired a good harvest more,
as the price will undoubtedly be good
and if we get an average yield money
will be plenty in the fall.
The regular inspection of the militia
took place last night in the armory.
Company G turned out with a good
number, considering tbe fact that there
are many who are out of town at this
time of the year. Lt.-Col. Patterson in
spected tbe company, and found every
thing in good condition. Most ' of the
colonel's staff were present, and all tbe
company's officers. A number of gen
eral orders from tbe brigade commander
were read, and also tbe reports of the
board of discipline, which considered
several offenses against the order of the
company. Tbe night was so excessively
warm that tbe men were allowed to sit
during the reading by the sergeant, and
the regular drill was cut short. A great
deal of interest is taken by tbe boys in
tbe military organization, and but few
cases of a breach against discipline are
reported. '

The Latest Fruit Advloes.
The following advices have just been
received by the manager of the Oregon
Fruit Union in The Dalles and by him
furnished The Chronicle.:
Oregon Fruit Union sold in Denver to
day Royal Anne cberries, $1.25 ; cur
rants, 241b crate, $2.50. Helena, cher
ries, 903$1; currants, $2.50. Butte,
cherries, 75$1 ; currant, $2.21. Orarha,
market doll, cherries, .80$1, good
stock,' other stock bringing but little.
St. Louis, cherries, good demand, $1.25
$1.50. Duluth, cherries, $1.50; black-
i berries. S3.50: earlv rtear.hefi. HI. aaod
demaild. Cleveland, cherries. $i$1.25;
early peaches, .80$1. Sioux City,
cherries, $1$1.25. These prices net the
shipper from 5 to 10 cents per pound for
cherries ; 5 to 7 cents for currants ; 9
cents for blackberries.
There will be three cars, mostly cber
ries, leaving Oregon tonight. You can
readily see if two of these cars would go
to the eame market, tbe disastrous re
sult, also if one car would go to some of
the markets it would lessen the price.
Sioux City will not stand over 200 boxes
of cherries at $1 ; more means less price.
The Fruit Union receive telegraphic
report every day, which may be consid
ered strictly raliable. It will be a great
convenience to fruit shippers to know
the prices in tbe Eastern market.
A Hose Contest, Two Dogs and a Fit lit.
Third street was the scene of a lively
time last night. In fact the residents
along that boulevard never saw so much
excitement in so short a space of time.
The hose companies were just getting
ready to practice, when Guy, tbe big
dog belonging to Judge Blakeley, came
down the street. It seems there has
been blood between Guy and Jack, the
dog belonging to Babe Maloney. Juat
in front of the engine houses the two
dogs met and immediately there was a
wailing and gnashing of teeth. Those
who saw the fray said it was the hottest
contest in the history of the prize ring.
Some men rushed in to separate tbe
dogs, but nothing had any effect on
them neither kicks, blows or impreca
tions. At this juncture some of the hoee
company boys attached a nose to the
plug and turned the water on the fight
ers. For ten minutes the dogs were
drenched with water, but even that
could not cool their ardor. ' Guy 'held
the winning band and would have
stayed with it till now had not some one
touched him rather forcibly on the head
with a club and caused him to let go his
hold. Members of the different hose
companies were holding the nozzle and
it was a contest to see which company
coord get water first.
Installation of tbe Hasten Star.
The order of. Eastern Star held their
installation ceremonies last night in the
Masonic hall. A large attendance of
members was present. Mrs. Mary S.
Myers was installed grand chaplain by
Henry H. Baker, W. P., to which office
she had been appointed at the recent
session of the grand lodge of Oregon
held in Portland. Mrs. Emilie Sanders
acted as grand marshal during the in
stallation. A bountiful banquet had
been prepared and after tbe installation
of officers the members and their guests
sat down and partook of all tbe good
things. ' The remainder of tbe evening
was spent in social amusements. The
large hall is an excellent place for hay
ing these interesting exercises, as a large,
banquet room is very convenient. Fo
