TtiV manager of the Oregon Fruit
Union is busy today getting ready a car
load of peaches and plums, which leaves
tonight for the East.- Early this morn
ing a half of the neceseary amount was

during the day. Mr. Pinkham says this
will be the first car of peaches to leave
the state for the -Eastern market and

A carload of Mitchell & Lewis header
trucks has just been received at the
warehouse of J. T. Peters & Co.
The weather forecast for to-morrow is
j fair aud warmer. The temperature at
"-' two o'clock today was 84 degrees.
The Regulator made a landing at
Rockland this morning to put off some
merchandise for Goldendale merchants.

In Justice Davis' court today James
Foster plead guilty to the charge of lar
ceny of a monkey wrench from L. Clarke
and was given 10 days in the county
jail.
The life of the circus performer when
he is not in the ring, but in his dressing
room preparing for his "act," or when
he is an ungarnished, every-day citizen,
will be described, with abundant illus
trations, in McClure's Magazine for
August. .
Some men were experimenting with a
machine, to take gold from the river sand,
this morning on the beach. The ma
chine was a simple looking affair and al
though the men worked hard, the gold
refused to come. Perhaps the silver
men tinkered with the apparatus.
Several tourists came up on the boat
last night and returned this morning.
. It is yet a little early for the tourist
' travel to be at its height, but before the
-summer is over a large number of Eas
. tern excursionists will view from the
steamer decks the matchless scenery of
the Columbia.
Since the circus and Fourth of July
are past the city officers have bad a re
laxatiou in business. The popularity of
the city jail has decreased and there
not the same rush tor admission as sev-
eral weeks ago. Last night the police
gathered in one drunk and disorderlv
and one in common parlanee called
"va' Beside these Nightwatch Has
lam arrested a man charged with steal
ing. The fellow had a monkey wrench
and other articles in his hand to which
there seemed no valid title.
No sooner is the wool rush over than
preparations are begun for the wheat
season. The large warehouses are get
ting ready for a busy time in the fall
. The Wasco warehouse expects to do i
big business and has ordered a large
consignment of grain sacks. Fifty
tnousana sacks are ex pec tea to arrive
Monday and this will be but the first
consignment.
Hay is coming into town in large
quantities now and so far finds a ready
sale. On account of the low price of
wheat last season many farmers this
year will cut their crop for hay and there
will be a greater quantity harvested,
some wno intended cutting have con
cluded to let their fields ripen and be
threshed for wheat as indications point
to a fair price in the fall.
Tomorrow evening the Methodists
and Congregationalists will hold union
services at the Methodist church. A
week from tomorrow joint services will
be held in the Congregational church
The plan of joining forces and holding
alternate union services, if found to be
suitable, will continue during the sum'
rner. Everybody is cordially invited to
attend the union services.
James Hagan, the man who was shot
during the melee Sunday morning, has
sufficiently recovered to be again on the
. streets. He walks somewhat lame, but
will soon be in good shape again. The
wound was not as serious as at first
thought. McDonald will breathe con
siderably easier now that he will not
have to answer a charge of murder. He
can consider himself lucky that his
shots turned out so fortunately.'
There are over 200,000 sheep on the
' range near Mt. - Hood and Mt. Adams.
They will comeback in the fall from the
grassy slopes in good condition for the
winter siege.- The proximity of rich
pasturage and a mild climate will make
this section the centre of the sheep and
wool industry, and because of its trans
portation facilities The Dalles will be the
si-eat ""market. All the more reasons
why woolen and scouring mills should
be established. .
Fraser.Lodge No. 16, I. O. G. T., at
Three Mile, will give a Shadow sociable
Saturday, July 27th. All are Invited to
take part. The ladies will stand behind
the curtain and their shadow will be
soldttPfcae highest bidder. The party
purchasing the shadow twill eat supper
with the owner, and as Three Mile ladies
are known to bring supper for three and
The academy building is undergoing a
thorough renovation. The roof and bel
fry have been painted and the interior
cleaned and varnished. New seats have
been ordered for some of the rooms and
many changes ana improvements win
have been made by the time school is
ready to begin. The grounds are also
being put in order. The situation is a
beautiful one and too much care cannot
be spent upon the surroundings. The
academy park can be made a suitable
place for out door meetings and money
that is spent upon improvements will be
for the good of everybody. - j
The country around the Cascades and
Stevenson is proving very popular with
Dalles people this season. A good
many families are camping at these
points and are delighted with the sur
roundings. There are many beautiful
lakes and streams near the Columbia
and in the dense woods are found many
pretty spots. As the mountains on the
Washington side are farther back from
the river than in Oregon the country is
much- more level. Good hunting and
fishing attract the sportsman and a
pleasant camp by a quiet lake or laugh
ing brook makes a life a dream for the
lazy inclined, the mosquitoes affording
just enough exercise to prevent a person
becoming too sluggish.
' Monday's Daily.
The thermometer 6tood 96 degrees at
3 o'clock today.
Walter Rowe returned Saturday from
Salem and is now a resident of The
Dalles.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is

Just received a line of TJ M C new
club and excelsior loaded shot gun shells
at Main & Benton's hardware store.
The Regulator carried 120 bales of
wool to Cascades this morning. Busi
ness still continues brisk for the boat
line.
Joseph T. Peters & Co. have just re
ceived a Carver & Steele header. 1 he
frame is all steel and the machine one of
the best in the market.
The expressmen should be careful and
not leave their horses for any length of
time when not absolutely necessary.
Some" one may be hurt by runaway
horses.
There will be a special meeting of the
board of fire delegates this Monday
evening at the city ball to appoint
polling places for' the election of chief
which takes place August 5th.
Sheriff Driver went to Portland Satur
day and brought back Myron Taft
charged with stealing some grain. Taft
will have an examination tomorrow
afternoon and is now confined in th'e
county jail. "
Mr. A. B. Hepburn, president of the

ing out the excellent results which have
followed its work.

W. R. Robinson, brakeman on a
freight train, met with an accident at
Hood River which cost him two of his
toes. He was attempting to get on the
cars when his foot slipped and caught
under the wheel. During recovery John
Gomez will take his place on the road.
Some citizens indulge in the fun of
racing horses up and down the streets,
As there la an ordinance against fast
riding or driving the speed should be
regulated. It seems infectious for horses
to go fast these days and even the ex
press horses are catching the fever as
attested by the numerous runaways.
Six cars loaded with horses passed
through The Dalles thia morning bound
for the canning establishment at Port
land. Some of the horses were very
pretty animals and it is an nnkind fate
that decrees their being put np in cans.
The horse seems destined not to long
survive the savage Indian, whose faith
ful ally he once was.
Some youngsters have been bathing
along the river front without the neces
sary paraphernalia to clothe them prop
erly and the marshal taught s lesson
Saturday by making arrests and putting
them in jail. An hour or two in the
cooler gave the lads time to reflect and
the next time they go swhnming they
will be attired in tights made of flour
sacks.
An account of the remarkable growth
and-influence of the Chautauqaa Assem
bly and its allied institutions, and an
intimate personal study of the principal
founder, Bishop John H. Vincent, by
Ida M. Tarbell, will eppear in McCIure'i
Magazine for August. The article will
be illustrated with numerous protraits
and other pictures.'
More travel is said to come and go
from The Dalles than from any city of
the same size. Besides the boat, which
carries good passenger lists each way
every day, the railroad does a good busi
nese. The receipts at the ticket offices
are larger than any other station on the
line in Oregon outside of Portland. The
Regulator does the best paving business
of any line on the Columbia river.
Maurus Jokai, the distinguished Hun
garian poet, novelist, historian and
patriot, has written for the August
number of The Forum a highly interest
ing article entitled "My Literary Recol
lections," practically an autobiography
of bis life. In the same number of The
Forum will appear an extremely valuable
and interesting article on the "Opening
of the Goethe Archives" bv Professor
Eric Schmidt, of the University of Berlin,
who had charge of the Goethe Archives
for several years.
Charles Hess, a citizen of Goldendale,
passed through The Dalles yesterday
morning in company with his brother
aud a deputy sheriff. Mr. Hess is suffer
ing from an attack of insanity, which at
times is of a violent type. . Policemen
Connelly and Haslam were sent for to
assist in subduing the unfortunate man.
The only way by which he could be con
trolled was to chain him to his brother,
for whom he shows a great regard. In
this way the victim of insanity's blight
was placed upon the cars and taken to
the asylum.
The police made a haul last night and
the city jail held five occupants this
morning, all charged with being drunk
and disorderly. Two of the offenders
were from the country who had fallen
too readily into the error of city ways.
They were- fined $5 a piece which they
paid and went their way. Among the
group was a Chinaman who got hilarious
over the recent repulse of the Japanese
by the Chinamen on Formosa. His
patriotism was rated at $5. The others
were common drunks and will spend a
few days in the shade of the city jail till
the warm weather passes by.
The county court should make some
provision for a bounty on coyotes.
These "pestiferous'' animals are a source
of great annoyance to farmers and cause
endless trouble among the chicken yards.
Farmers, especially on the hills Test
from town, have almost been compelled
to quit keeping any large number of
fowls for the reason that they can't keep
them. The coyotes become very bold
and are no respecter of persons. If a
bounty were placed upon their scalps an
inducement would be offered for small
boys and others possessing leisure time
to hunt the varmits and but a little
while would accomplish their extermina
tion. We wish the same" could be said of
grasshoppers.
Tuesdays Daily.
At three o'clock the therruometor

for tomorrow. It is a pretty safe guess
A lot of fruit came from Husbands
Landing last night to' be shipped east

A large shipment of muskmelons
went to the Portland market today from
the gardens of Mr. Stadieman.
Prosperous firms advertise and the
way to build np business is to call
peoples' attention to your goods.
Thirty-five boxes of plums were re
ceived in The Dalles this morning from
Columbus. They will go East tonight.
aucn shipments as tnis snow what a
trading point this city is.
' Herald E. Monser of Berkeley. Cal
will give his free lecture at the Christian
church tomorrow night, July 24th. He
is a fine speaker and those who hear
him will be well paid for coming out.
Antone uowers has juBt purchased a
Craver & Steele header. There has been
a great deal of farming machinery sold
this year in The Dalles. A. J. Douglas,
a prosperous farmer- near Du'ur, has
bought a J. I. Case threshing machine.
Yesterday afternoon a man started to
see .how fast he could ride up Second
street and rode into the arms of Marshal
Blakeney, who was waiting for him.
Tho city was $5 richer when the officer
got through with him. There is some
merit in a scheme for the city to rent
Second street during the quiet hours of
the day for $5 a ride. It would help to
pay the interest coupons.
The fruit raisers are busy shipping
their products today. The street in
front of the fruit warehouse has been
crowded with teams all day and Man
ager Pinkham has had his hands , full
attending to the receipts. A car for
Denver leaves The Dalles tonight, loaded
with blackberries, peaches, peach plums
and apricots. Fruit raisers are waiting
anxiously to hear returns from the car
that went Saturday.
The pile.driver is working on the rail
road bridge leading to the company
shops. Large piles are being driven and
when the work is done the bridge will be
good as new. It is not yet known
whether the railroad company intend
building the main line through the
shops and cease using the long trestle
along Mill creek. This plan would have
many advantages.
Judd Fish will soon make his debut on
the streets astride of the latest improved
bicycle. He has been faithfully prac
ticing for several weeks on a private
track under the Umatilla House and the
facility he shows in learning proves he
has a great futnre before him ae a by
cyclist, uae notice ot nis appearance
will be given later at which time Henry
Fowler will retire from the contest. -
The preliminary examination of John
Dalrymple is being held today in Jus
tice Davis' court. This evening, if the
Dalrymple case is finished, the trial of
Lane Mahaffy, who is charged with issu
ing fictitious checks, will be held. To
morrow the case of the State vs. Myron
Taft, arrested for stealing grain $ will
occur so it can be seen that the justice
court ia keeping np with the revival that
is talked so much about in other lines of
business.
The city marshal received a telegram
from Sheriff Houser at Pendleton asking
him to try and arrest two bovs who
would probably pass through The Dalles
The boys had gone through before the
telegram reached here, but today Police
man Connelly arrested George Gillen
bach, Andrew Anderson and Charlie
James, three young boys who have start
ed to see the world. . They will be de
tained until word can be received from
Pendleton.
The board of fire delegates held
pecial meeting last evening in the city
hall. The meeting was called to chose
judges and clerks for tne coming fire
man's election and to make all necessary
arrangements. The election will be held
August 5th and the polling place will be
in the engine house. The board chose
as judges John W. Lewis, R. B. Sinnott
and Matt Shoren while George Gibons
and Fred Van Norden will serve as
clerks. No candidates have yet been
announced for cLiief of the depart
During the absence of Captain Wand,
who will be away during part of the
week, Captain McNulty ia in charge of
the Regulator. He looks well in his ac
customed place and old travelers find it
very natural to see him as they come
aboard the boat. Captain McNulty
carries a handsome gold watch presented
by Capt, J. C. Ainsworth and the
directors of the O. S. N. Co. for good
seamanship shown while in command of
the old Idaho. It ia a beautiful trophy
and the manner and reason for which it
was given can well make any man feel
proud.

The wcol business at the scouring mill
is about finished for the season, though
the mill will continue to ecour until
September. The manufacture of soap in
connection witn the mill promiees to be
a flourishing industry. Besides using
rrom o.uuu to o.uuti pounds a month, the
company has sold three tons of laundry
soap. This makes an excellent market
for tallow, all the tallow obtainable dur
ing the winter being necessary for the
summer run. rendleton Tribune.
Thia is the way things are done in
Pendleton, and The Dalles should imi
tate its busy neighbor. The scouring
mill has been- the making of Pendleton
just as the boat company has helped The
Dalles. We possess every advantage
that Pendleton has and more for we are
the business centre of a greater area of
country. Our transportation facilities
exceed those of Pendleton and we have
as much and possibly more idle capital.
Our business men are just aa bright and
their cvedit just as good. The experi
ment of the D. P. A A. N. Co. shows
what we can do when we try. Let ns be
up and doing, for with proper effort the
future before na ia great. First we want
a board of trade, chamber of commerce,
commercial club, or any organization
that can advance the interests of the
town. This is the first step towards
getting a woolen mill. We must have a
pay roll. '
Advertised Letters.
At the Congregational church yester
day morning Rev. W. C. Curtis preached
very acceptably from" the text "From
that .time many of his disciples went
back and walked no more with him."
The discourse went to show that stead
fast followers were wiat Christ wanted
and not these whose emotions made
them at one time eager to follow in the
faith and then their ardor cooled. Or
ing to the absence of several of the choir
no anthems were sung. ' The attendance
considering the heated day was very
good. '
Last evening the Methodist and the
Congregational churches united in their
evening service, the pastors of each
church taking part in the service.
Rev. J. H. Wood preached the sermon
ot tne evening, and his theme was
"Spiritual Life and Growth." From
the physical world he drew illustrations
showing how the environments of trees
and plants were indications of their life
and growth, such as the green leaf and
the expanding bud. So in the spiritual
world the indications could be traced
and tell if there was life and growth.
He showed that there could be no life
without growth, and scouted the idea
that persons could not tell whether they
had spiritual life. At the close he urged
all to take this spiritual gift, which was
so freely offered to all, and announced a
short after-meeting to be held at the
close of the regular service. The sermon
was forcible, logical nod well received.
It is proposed, to hold another union
service next Sunday evening, and at that
time it will be held in the Congregational
chureb. Mr. Wood urged his people to
attend.
Rev. I. H. Hazel held services at the
Christian church morning and evening.
Next Wednesday and Thursday evenings
a lecture will be given in the church by
Rev. H. E. Monser of California.
Services were also held in the Calvary
Baptist and in the Catholic church. At
the latter place .Rev. Placidius Feurst of
Mt. Angel college conducted services.

The supreme court, which has been in
session at Pendleton handed down de
cisions in some important cases which
were appealed from this county.
The T. G. Mitchell vs. O. D. Taylor
case was' the one in which the most in
terest was taken and its outcome has
been watched with close attention by
lawyers in The Danes. The case was
reversed and a new trial oidered. 'Judge
Wolverton delivered the opinion. The
statement of facts, as given in the decis
ion, is that D. B. Uornell purchased
stock on installments, in the Columbia
River Fruit Company, through the de
fendant who was president, the defend
ant agreeing to repurchase the- stock
when demanded. The stock was trans
ferred to the plaintiff before the second
payment. Mitchell demanded repur
chase by the defendant, which was
refused. The plaintiff executed transfer
and delivered it to the defendant and
brought an action for the purchase price.
The plaintiff was nonsuited, the lower
court holding that no demand to repur
chase had been proved. The supreme
com t opinion holds that proof of delivery
of the transfer was proof of the demand
and the caee should have been given to
the jury. . s
The case entitled James Cameron, ap
pellant vs. Waeco County, respondent,
was reversed in an opionion by Judge
Moore. This action was concerning a
county road and had been through the
county and circuit courts and finally
taken to the supreme court.
The judgment of the lower court in
the case of Johnston Bros., respondents,
vs. Joseph Barillo, defendant, and Brown
and Jones, appellants, was affirmed.
Judge Mdore read the opinion. Johnston
began an action against Barillo and had
some grain attached. Brown and Jones
came in with a laborer's claim for thresh
ing and sought to attach the property.
Johnston Bros, objected to this latter
claim and alleged that it was a contrac
tor's and not a laborer's claim, and that
it bad been paid by a promissory note
from Joseph Barrilo and accepted by
To the Editor :
The Chautauqua course of reading has
now been so long before the public and
ita results so satisfactory, that to some
ft may seem superfluous for a word to
be said in its praise; yet the rule is
spoken by the prophet of old, "line upon
line.' So to call the attention of those
who have not hitherto attended I add
thia line: The main advantage derived
from this course of study is found in its
system. We can all read, but if some
wiser head than oar own does not lay
down something systematic and orderly
for as to follow, the. probabilities are
that our study will be frittering and by
fits and starts. Then the perfect adapt
ation of the course to home study. A
half hour in the rest of the afternoon, .
another half hour after goodnighta are
said to the children, is all that ia re
quired. Thousands are to-day finding
great pleasure and instruction from fol
lowing this system.
A town of this size should easily carry
three circles. It might interfere with
whist. The Chautauqua readings should
win. Ibis coarse of study is not the
mere opinions of one man about some
thing else, no matter how wise be may
be. It is the work of many, and is
broadening and complete in its method.
Those who have had the advantage of -collegiate
study in days of pupilage find
great intereet and gain in the re-study
required, and especially in the revised
and up-to-date character of ' the text
books, embodying as they do the results
of the most recent research. In the de-
partments of the sciences I do not be
lieve ordinarily the readings, in the cir
cumstances they will probably be under.
will amount to much; but any one no
matter how previously ignorant who will
carefully go over the prescribed course,
even of chemistry or electricity, will not
be so ignorant after as they were before.
It is to be hoped with the expected
revival of business in our beautiful town
we may show ourselves worthy of this
revival by making the most of ourselves,
as opportunity is given -us. P. B. P.

The prune industry of Wasco county. -
is just beginning to be developed and a
few years will see our present acreage
greatly increased. A visit was made
yesterday to the new prune perforator
and grader at Young's wagon shop and
an examination shows that the machine
will probably be of great aid in - the
prune business. Instead of dipping the
fruit in lye, in order to break the skin,
as is done in California, the prunes are
placed on narrow slits covered with fine
nails almost like needle points. . A shak
ing .process ia then undergone and the
nails make small punctures in the skin .
of the fruit, not large enough to lacerate
it but just ao the heat can enter the
prune. The fruit passes, over sieves
which act as graders, the smaller ones
falling through in one tray while the
larger ones pass on to another. Frnlt
growers may possibly find au examina
tion of the machine interesting.
There had been a cessation in runa
ways for several days, but this morning
the eeason reopened with redoubled
Vigor. The Pacific Express company
horse led off with a neat spurt on Second
street from Washington to Court. The
horse waa overtaken by a footracer a'nd
soon brought back. Alter quiet bad
been restored. Stephens' express team
backed away from the sidewalk and
without any warning signal started for
anywhere. They made the two blocks
from Washington to Union street in
better time than the Mt. Hood hose com
pany's best record. Near Crandall &
Burget's the horses ran against the side
walk. One of the animate fell and
slipped partly under the walk while the
other horse and a part of the wagon were
on the sidewalk. , Not much damage
was. done except some breaks on the .
wagon. 1
