. terror to the hoboos.for not a one showed

Now is the best time to take an outing
for those who can, for next fall when the
wheat begins to come in every businea
man will be busy. Every body should
have two weeks in the mountains or at
the sea shore. Nature demands it and
her laws are inexorable.
A number of the speedy boys belong'
ing to the fire department met last
night for the purpose of choosing a team
for the tournament. The boys did not
practice last night, but from now on
will drill constantly. Great interest
was shown by everyone and there will
be no trouble in having plenty of mate
. rial presented from which a good team
can be chosen.
The late circus has left a deep impres
sion upon the youngsters of town and
there is a longing among many of them
to become knights of the sawdust. An
embroyo aggregation of the world's cel
ebrities is now showing in the East-End.
'The performance is under the manage
ment of Rex Ward and Frank SylveBter
and rivals the big shows in the pleasure
it gives the audience.
The band stand agitation ia meeting
with favor among citizens, and mi
crboniclk, is praised for poshing the
matter. With such a splendid orchestra
the people of The Dalles should have
more opportunity of hearing them.
The cost of a eommodius stand would
not D9 great, and when divided among a
large number of contributors would be
inappreciable. Let us make up our
minds to have one.
Ana ircueaira neia its regular practice
last evening. The question bad been
asked several of the members daring the
day whether .or. not they would give
open air concerts if a band stand .were
erected. The boys unanimously agreed
to play at least one evening a week
' free of charge. This generosity on the
part of the Orchestra should find a
hearty response from people of The
Dailes and the building of a grand etand
should quickly result.
The Dufur telephone line . reached
5-Mile Hill last night and camped at
that place. This is making rapid time
The worst part of. the work wo building

3-Mile. This part having been done the
remaining portion will be comparatively
easy. The backers of the enterprise do
not say much but they mean business.
Another week and The Dalles will be
saying "Hello" to Dufur. The gentle
men who are bringing outside points in
talking communication with The Dalles
are showing commendable enterprise
and success will attend their efforts.
The new fruit dryer, mention of which
was made several weeks ago, will surely
be built. The iron work has been con
traded for and the wood construction
will begin immediately. Thelocation is
a lot on Tenth street, south of Robert
May's stone house. This point will. be
accessible for the fro it raisers of Mill

tournament and the best way of having
The Dalles worthily represented, the
meeting adjourned.
Mr. Winans brought to The Chronicle
office today the fctencil of Captain Men-
weather Lewis, concerning which men
tion has been made in The Chronicle
and other papers. The etencil is made
out of boiler iron and evidently made to
last till the end of time. The relic was
in the form of a box, but the cover has
been knocked off. Mr Winans found
the stencil in the spring of 3893 just
ninety years from the time the Lewis
and Clarke expedition started on their
trip to the wastern wilds. It was found
on an island in the rapids above this
city and had probably been cast away
as a thing of no worth by some Indian
who was ignorant of its sentimental
value. If ever Mr. Winans parts with
this momento of early northwest his
tory, it should properly go the national
museum in Washington, where every.
thing of historical value is preserved for
public inspection.

This season seems to be particnlarly
favorable to figs in Southern Oregon.
A tree in General J. W. McCall's lot in
Ashland has a fair crop of ripe and green
fruit, tbe ripe ones being as perfectly
matured as if grown in Sumatra, says
the Tidings.
The latest bear story is from Wilder-
ville. A large black bear came to tbe
farm of James Grimes, when the mtn
folks were away, and jamped into the
pigpen and killed two good-sized fat hogs,
weighing about 100 pounds each, one of
which the bear carried away.
Mr. A. P. Bradbury, a traveling man
from Portland, is authority for the state

kicked in the head by a horse, causing
an ugly flesh wound. The boy was
working around tbe horse, when the
animal, without any apparent cause,
struck at the young fellow, causing tbe
wound.
Pendleton Tribune : It was rather a
singular coincidence that the Portland
San should die on the very day that an
advance of three cents per bushel in the
price of wheat was noted. . The people
do not take kindly to a publication
which teaches that the world is going to
hades in the face of overwhelming evi
dence of a heavenly ascent.
A few young men were out' on tbe
street last night practicing for the rac
ing team which is to be sent to Vancou
ver next month to compete in the tour
nament to be held in that city. The
boys did very well in their first pra&
tice, but we expected to see a larger
number out.. The team will not be
chosen for a week or so, and it is abso
lutely necessary that a large number of
men should be out training every even
ing. Every one ot the tbirty-nve men,
who competed in races here on the 4th,
should try for a position on the team.
It is only by competition between the
different men that the team will be
chosen. We hope to see every man in
the fire department, who has any sprint
ing qualities, out training this evening.
Mr. Mozart and a companion left
Cascade Locks about a week ago for Mt,
Adams. Last Sunday morning while
one of the men was fixing a pistol it was
accidentally discharged and Mr. Mozart
was shot in the arm; bis companion,
who was holding the horses, left them
and ran to the assistance of Mozart. As
the horses were left alone they started
off on a run, leaving the men seventy
miles from the Locks with no means of
returning except on foot. Mozart and
his companion started on their return
home, where they arrived last night. In
the meantime blood-poisoning had at
tacked the wound and by the time they
reached the Locks Mr. Mozart was
nearly worn out. He is now resting
very easily. Mr. Mozart is a nephew of
the Dav Bros.
Several Iowa people happened to meet
by accident in front of the, postnffiep
today. They immediately began talkin
about their state, when the conversation
turned on Gen. TJ. S. Grant, who at one
time was a large buyer of hides in Ga
lena. Mr. C. L. Schmidt related an in
teresting story, about the campaign of
72. .Grant was in Bellevue, which is
across the river from Galena, when Joe
Kelso, a well-known banker, slipped up
to Grant and said : "Hello, Grant."
Grant replied, "Do von know me?'
KfIso answered, "Yes, I knew you
when you used to buy hides and wore a
big, grey overcoat." Grant looked at
him for a short while and finally said
" You may be right about buying hides',
but I never wear a grey overcoat al
ways a blue." And the cheering of tbe
boys was immense.

warehouse. ' It was grown by Mr.
Henzie about two miles east of town.
Tbe wheat is of fins qualify, the berry
being very plump. ' Although the season

There is some talk, in musical circles,
of reorganizing the old Mozart club,
which several years ago was such a pop
ular institution in Tbe Dalles. There
are a good number of fine voices in the
city, and much enthusiasm could easily
be created among singers'. In all prob
ability this winter will see such an or
ganization. With the vocal talent that
could be obtained and the orchestra, a
concert could be given that could not be
equaled, we are safe in saying, any
where in the state outside of Portland.

commendable enterprise to make prep
arations to give our city a worthy repre
sentation at Vancouver.

The experienca this year of Martin,
Martisson is a sample of what thrift and
energy can do, and also illustrates tbe
wide spreading trade with other place
which The Dalles enjoys. Mr. Morfcia
son has a patch of ground about 100 feet
square, which he planted in cucumbers.
He has already this season sold $160

had been seriously burned. She bad
been playing with matches, when ber
dress caught fire, severely burning her
side. Tbe little sufferer was made as
comfortable as possible. It is yet too
soon for the doctor to tell how serious?
the burning is.

spirited meeting last night. The at
tendance of members was large and
great interest was shown at every point
of discussion. In Bomo places the de

izing tbe treasurer to pay $120 as ths
Columbia company's share in the new
