The Regulator carried fifty bales of
wool down this morning. There still re

. ready for harvest.
Yaomi Marsh made a large shipment
' of peaches to Portland by the boat this
morning. The first brought to the
market was last Friday. .
Strawberries are disappearing from
the markets and black berries have come
to take their place. Raspberries are
'present in large quantities. ; s ;. .
The early morning passenger was an
hour an fifty-five minutes late this
'. morning. Part of the delay was caused
: beyond Umatilla and a part at Columbus
rock. . ' , . '
The change in time of the Regulator
and Dalles City will be a great conven
ience to the travelling pnblic. The
American people, with all their energy
and push, like an hour's extra sleep in
the morning and will find it pleasanter
to take the boat at 8 o'clocjc instead of 7.
The change at the other end will be still
more agreeable. , .
W. H. Turner, the real estate agent of
Goldendale whe so mysteriously disap
peared sezeral days ago, has been found.
' . The searching party discovered him at a
place about four miles from Goldendale.
The nnfortunate man is undoubtedly de
mented and refused to go with the men
' who came to find him. At the last
' accounts he was nntaken.
Chief Moore, of the weather bnreau,
. has notified Weather Observer Bland-
ford to send daily to every display man
in his district, the regular weather fore
cast. Mr. Brooks will receive a tele
gram every day from Portland, giving a
forecast for the nest thirty-six hours
and the weather signals will be dis
played at the old place.
Word came in this morning that Mr.
Haywood, a respected citizen of Wamic,
dropped dead yesterday morning. , He
was working in a field and was suddenly
. seen to careen and tail. Aid was im
mediately given him,-but it was too late
as the end had come. Mr. Haywood
bad lived in Wamic about six years and
was much esteemed as- a neighbor and
friend. ' . ,
The latest report from Sherman county
received this morning, states that the
grain is in good condition. The Tain on
the Fourth did a great deal of good and
some of the volunteer, which was sup
posed to De lost, will average six or
eight bushels. The fall grain looks fine.
Harvesting will commence next week.
We earnestly hope the report is true and
that Sherman county farmers will reap
a rich reward.
Floyd VanVactor, a brother of Mrs.
Charles Johnson, was severely bitten by
a dog yesterday. . The boy was playing
with a velocipede in company with some
other children when theanimal attacked
him. The wound is not believed serious
but is now quite painful. This makes
the second case of dog biting within a
short time. Several days ago the 5-year-old
boy of Theodore Seuferl was bitten
in the aame way;
. Frank Connslljv Harry Hampshire,
Rocky Chenowith and J. W. Fisher

equipped with necessary paraphernalia
and 'are going to enjoy themselves.
They are provided with a smalt boat and
. will 'hunt and fish up the ' streams
emptying into the Columbia.' All the
details of the.trips are settled except as
to who, shall cook and wash the dishes.
These latter, questions may cause some
dissensions. , .. ' ,

' The portage road at Cascades has been
changed at the upper end in Jrder to
allow the bulkhead to be removed. The
work was done last night and caused no
inconvenience to 'traffic'
Mr. Alex. Cockerlain and family of
En gene are visiting with bis brother and
sister at Boyd. He reports that the times
are very quiet in the valley with good
indications for a large grain crop.
The Dalles is not the only warm place
under the sun. The thermometer at
North Beach registered 96 degrees yes-
terdav. It was no rbigher than that
here, and we make no boast of being a
summer resort.
The report from the fruit market says
the same conditions prevail as yesterday.
No change in prices or receipts. A car
load of assorted fruit will probably be
shipped from The Dalles on July 16th.
Preparations are being made towards
that end.
A gentleman from Cascade Locks
made a bet the other day with a promi
nent Dalles merchant that boats would
go through the locks on Christmas bay.
The Dalles man took the bet, remarking
at the same time that he hoped he
would lose it. '
The sun just before it drops behind
Chenowith hill has a ruddy complexion.
Old Sol seems to be blushing for giving
us such uncomfortable weather, but his
red face is due more to the smoke that
pervades the atmosphere than from any
compunction of conscience.
- What does the Bible teach relative to
the first day of the week as the Sabbath?
is the question for investigation at the
tent meeting tonight. The identity of
Saturday - as the true seventh day - from
creation will also be considered in con
nection with the above.
Since Mr. J. H. Sherar was the 'Erst
to ship his wool in the ratio of three to
one three sacks to one Dales it Has
been suggested that this form of com
press by called the Sherar bale. As we
have the Sherar grade and Sherar bridge,
we can use the name a little farther, and
have the Sherar bale.
There will be a party of Dalles people
leave tomorrow for Oregon City to at
tend the meeting of the Chautauquan
assembly, which convenes today. Low j
rates have been granted by the transpor
tation companies and all who can go
should do so, as the opportunity will be
given of hearing some eloquent men.
: A gentleman and lady drove over from
North Yakima and reached The Dalles
yesterday. They' took the boat from
here to Portland. A good many people
have made the overland journey in order
to make the trip down the Columbia.
Some drive as far as Goldendale and buy
tickets to Portland via the stage and
boat lines'. .
: The wind hat blew. yesterday seemed
more of a north wind than one from the
east. It was cooler than the regulation
east wind. One explanation given was
that the Klickitat mountains turned the
breeze from the north and made it
come down the Columbia gorge. As we
are not scientists, we cannot vouch for
the correctness of the theory.
: This morning Mr. Fred Furrgar, the
foreman at the Columbia brewery, was
out in the yard and stepped upon a rock:
His foot tamed and he fell breaking the
small bone of his leg just above the
ankle. The accident while necessarily
very painful wjllnot prove serious and
after lying still for some time the sufferer
will be able to go around again. .
: The . Regulator carried away this
morning some more of the wool shipped
by Hecht and Leibmann. " From now on
the amounts shipped will exceed the re
ceipts and, the warehouses have proba
bly seen their largest days for this
season.' It is yet too soon to estimate
the number ef pounds which has passed
through The Dalles, but the aggregate
will be very large.
; The Redmen met at their wigwam
last night and ' installed the following
officers : Sachem, F. H. Wakefield ;
junior , sagamore, W. . I.. ; .Marders ;
prophet, Ad Keller.- As this was the
midsummer - meeting, no other .officers
were installed. John Micbell and W.
H. Butts were tthoeen delegates' , to the
grand powwow, which meets at "Astoria
the latter part of this month. . -.
The militia company drilled last night
in their new armory. " The lights have
not yet been placed in the building and
the boys went through their maneuvers
and tactics in the dark., " The night was
rather wacm for much exercise. With
Bach ; a haudsome armory and company
rooms the boys should take great interest
in the Company and the militia should
be' a prominent .feature in 'the '.athletic
and social, life of The Dalles. '
; The Salvation Army "will hold some
rousing meetings this week and next in
Wingate's hall.. Major .Morton, assisted
by Captain Milne and Captain Sharp of

a .free' and .easy meeting will occur with
au address.by the major. .. Monday even
ing a farewell meeting will be held, at
which Capt. T. J. Smith and Lieut. A.
H. Ward will bid good bye to The Dalles
These officers have been stationed here
daring the winter and have done good
work. : '
' The agitation or! the thistle question
has done a great deal of good, but there
is plenty of room for more work. On
many lots they have been cut down, but
there remain some lots which are full of
them.' No permanent good can be ac
complished aniess they are all cut down,
as if any are left at all they will supply
seed enough to re-stock all the yards in
town. Now is the time for the new
street commissioner to make a record for
himself. - ." - j
The .wool - situation - remains . un
changed. A large amonnt is still being
received at the Wasco warehouse and
Moody.s At the latter place the new
baler was at work this morning . com
pressing a lot of wool just brought by
Hecht and Leibmann. Three large
sacks, each weighing 400 , pounds are
compressed into a bale occupying one-
half the space. This process is gone
through to tret a large saving In the
freight rate and delivering the wool in
Boston just as it comes from the grower.
In this way the grading-ia done in Bos
ton instead of here. Mr. Sherar's wool
was the first clip to be shipped in thece
large bales. '
This morning about 5 o'clock,' Jailer
Fitzgerald, who sleeps at the courthouse,
was awakened by a knocking at the
door. He got up and found a young
lellow who asked for a meal.' The jailer
thought he saw in him an escape from
the reform school and by a stratagem got
him to come in and soon the lad was be
hind the bars. The prisoner objected
strongly to going to jail, but the jailer
came out ahead. The boy proves to be
Newell Shontell, aged 19 years who ran
away from the reform school several
days ago in company with Fred Mc-
Murray. - A description had been sent
out by the Superintendent of the school
whicn enabled the officers here to recog
nize their man. Efforts will be made to
capture McMurray and if successful both
will be taken back to Salem.

started overland for Yakima, a trip - he
has made many times. ""
The Dalles will furnish a large quota
of visitors to the Chautauqua meeting
at Gladstone Park. Over thirty will go
altogether, a part on the boat, and the
others by the morning and afternoon
trains. , -'',, .
On account of the absence of the pas
tor, W. C. Curtis, there will . be no
preaching at the Congregational church
next Sunday. The Sunday school and
Young People's Society of Christian
Endeavor will meet as usual.
The Regulator carried over 150 bales
of wool this morning besides a large
cargo of other freight. There is still a
large amount of wool that is waiting
shipment by water and the boat will do
a good business this season in the wool
trade. . ' ,
Harvest will be well under way next
week in all parts of the county. Across
the river in Klickitat it will begin early
next' week and' Sherman county prom
ises to commence Monday. From all
indications the general yield will be a
good one and lots of wheat will come
into The Dalles in the fall.
Dr. Tackman showed Tub Chronicle a
piece of gold which was mined on the
shore of the Columbia river. As every
one knows silver and gold are both
found in the river sand and patient
effort will separate them. The piece in
question was about five "inches long,
beaten flat and was worth about $5.
Sheriff Driver wired the superintend
ent of the reform school announcing the
capture of young Shontell and asking
for instructions. . He received an answer
last night asking him to try and capture
the other fugitive. An officer from the
reform school' will' probably, come for
the prisoner.,
' A. rumor .was heard today but we
have seen nothing to-verify it that the
San Francisco Examiner will obtain
control of the Portland Sun and run a
full-fledged democratic paper In Port
land.;. In anybody could make it go, the
Examiner people, with a gold mine be
hind them, would be the ones.

The finance- committee of the council
will recommend . at 'the next meeting
that Mr. Burget be allowed extra ' com
pensation' for his work in connection
with the city bonds. . This is no more
than justice, as the treasurer -was com
pelled to do a vast amount of labor, for
which ' the' present salary was a poor
compensation. -;' ""' 7 ' '"

"Miss Lloyd Jessup, won the applause
and admiration of her large audience by
the manner in which she looked and
acted her difficult part ; and even the
cold critics could not say that she lacked
dramatic force."
These hot days make swimming the
most popular diversion of the day and
every evening a crowd of swimmers take
a plunge in the cool waters of the Col
umbia. If some enterprising individual
wonld fix up a bath house -along the
river shore be would doubtless find the
investment a paying one. In other
cities "they prove very popular in
stitutions. In commenting upon Miss Minto's
playing, the Los Angeles Herald says:
"The next was an instrumental solo,
'Polka de la Reme,' ' by Miss Minto.
She showed herself to be an excellent
musician, ana at Home wnen playing
the piano. She was encored." Los
Angeles Angeles Herald. Miss Minto
will give several selections at the opera
honse next Thursday. .
- The fair next fall promises to be a
success and the management are work
ing hard along that line. They are
making every effort to have the meeting
up to the standard it should be. With
out the co-operation of our business men,
the fair cannot be what its promoters
wish. Some of our prominent exhibitors
have said that the premiums offered are
not enough to justify them bringing in
their fancy stock. A contribution
should he given large enough to enable
the premiums to be increased so that
more people from the country can afford
to make exhibits.
'Woodmen Organize at Dnfnr.
Ten members from The Dalles Camp,
No. 59, Woodmen of the World, started
from The Dalles yesterday afternoon at
3 o'clock, their destination being the
pretty little village of Dufur, and their
business not to cut down the timber of
that locality, but to institute a eamp of
the order in that place. Twenty-two
were put through the mysteries of t iis
order in proper shape, and are hence
forth to be known as Woodmen of the
World. The camp was organized under
