school appropriation and finds that it
amounts to $2.15 per pupil.
Ten cars of wreckage from a freight
wreck. on the eastern division, passed
through The Dalles this morning on the
way to the repair shops at Albtna. ,
drapes nave made tneir appearance
in the local markets. 1 This locality
raises all kinds of . fruit and as one va
riety disappears another comes to take
its place.

run over by an engine near- the depot.
There isn't enough of the animal left to

-handsome proportions.
Workmen are engaged today in mak
ing alterations and Improvements on
John Hertz' store. ; New shelving will
be put in and . another large counter..
The changes are necessary to accommo
date an increased stock.
The friends of Miss Grace Sharp will
be pained to learn that she is again very
ill. Several weeks ago she was taken to
Portland, in the hope that . a change
would do ber good ; but so far there has
been no benefit. At last accounts she
was considered qnite low.
It is not yet settled whether or not
the Regulator will run an excursion to
the Locks Sunday. There will be a great
many who wonld like an opportunty of
making the river trip, and if the or
chestra goes along, there would un
doubtedly be a large crowd attend. '
The regular teachers' examination is
now in progress at the court house.
Supt. Shelley is in charge of the exami
nation, assisted by Miss Rintonl and
Miss Lang. Twenty-two applicants are
passing through the ordeal of question
ing. The test is exclusively written.
This afternoon the candidates-for certifi
cates are being examined in orthogra
phy, and grammar. A list of the sue--,eful
applicants will be published at
the close of the examination.
The railroad company will run an ex
cursion to the locks next Sunday when
the big excursion from Eastern Oregon
arrives. The timu-table will be so ar
ranged that parties who go will have a
whole day at the locks. The exact time
is not yet announced. The round trip
fare will be a dollar.
The sheriff's office is busy collecting
delinquent taxes. People do not run
over one another in their scramble to
pay their proportion of the county's ex
pense, but everyday some money comes
in from delinquents. The sheriff . has
been instructed to levy on the property
of those who do not pay within the re
quired time.
On account of the sickness of her
father, Miss Brydolf has been compelled
to tender ber resignation as a teacher in
The Dalles public schools, to which po
sition she was elected by the board of
directors. This will necessitate the
election of a new teacher. Miss Brydolf
was chosen to fill the place made vacant
by the resignation of Miss Hollister.
'Anita, the fast trotting mare, was
taken to Portland on the boat this morn
ing, where she will be sold to parties
there. Anita is a splendid animal and
holds the best record on the track
in this city. At present she is owned
by Mr. J. W. Condon. : Her track' per
formances' are well known abroad, and
the gray mare will undoubtedly bring a
good figure. . ' -
The Dalles Beal Estate Exchange has
in' process of publication a pamphlet
setting forth the advantages of Wasco
county and The Dalles as places for im
migrants to seek homes. About $330
have been -subscribed to meet the ex -ense,
and in a few days the fund will
probably be raiseid to $400. The gentle
men in charge are working very hard to
attain a worthy object.- Within the
next few years there will be a great in
flux of immigrants' into the Northwest,
and no, place offers better inducements
than the country bordering on the east
ern side of ; the Cascade mountains
tvery dollar judiciously spent in aaver-
tisiiig our town and country will come
back, bringing others with' it." Some
pictures of farms and places of Interest
will be printed in the pamphlet.
A delightful party was given ' last
night by Mr. and Mrs, W.H.Groat.at their
pleasant borne on the hill. The evening
was passed in conversation and in listen
ing to some fine music. During the
evening the guests were served with
daintv refreshments. . Among - those
present, besides the host and - hostess,
were Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Price, Mr. and
Mrs. C. L. Gilbert, Mr. and Mrs. C. J.J
Crandall, Mr. and Mrs. . George Ross,
Mr. and Mrs. Trego and Mrs. Groat ot
Portland. , ' '
The large excursion, which will paes
through The Dalles Sunday morning,
will be one of the greatest of its kind in
Eastern Oregon. . Those who have the
project in charge say there is a great deJ
mand for tickets and every place of any
size will send representatives. There is
n government work going on in the
United States of similar character to the
locks, which is a great undertaking,
The visitors who come so long a distance
to view the locks, wiil be repaid for
their trouble by the interesting scenes
they will witness. .
A romance in real life was concluded
this morning by the marriage of Herrick
Cail Von Ladiges to Mrs. Julia Jaachim
The groom is a prosperous farmer, who
tills the fields on High Prairie, Klickitat
county, whire the bride arrived only
yesterday from Berlin, Germany. She
came at the special instance and re
quest of Air. Von .Ladiges, and as soon
as arrangements could be completed the
happy pair proceeded to the office of
Justice Davis, who pronounces them
man and wife. The bride could not
speak a word of English so the services
of Mr: Schmidt, as an interpreter, were
called Upon. After the ceremonv, the
newly wedded couple proceeded to their
home across the Columbia. Six thous
and miles is a long journey to nnd a
husband, but love laughs at locksmiths
and long distances.
Negotiations are under way looking
towards the erection of a handsome
brick building by the Odd Fellows lodge
of this citv. The members of the society
have long contemplated such amove,
and several years ago purchased the lot
on the corner of Third and Washington
streets, now occupied by Wm. Michell's
undertaking establishment. The hard
times interfered with the plan, but now
that the financial closeness is easing and
foreign capital is seeking investment,
the project has been revived. Within
a few weeks it will be known for a cer
tainty whether the building will be con
structed, and if the present negotiations
result favorable, work will immediately
begin. Such a structure would te a
great addition to the architectural
beauty of the city, and it is to be hoped
the Odd Fellows will be successful in
their wishes, and that the new hall will
be built. .
Piling for the new steamer dock,
to be built by the D. P. & A. N. Co.;
has been loaded upon' the scow at Cas
cades, and as soon as a sailing wind
springs np, will be brought to The
Dalles. The piles are ot fine timber and
good length and will be put in' the
ground to stay. Another important
move contemplated by the boat com
pany is the building of docks at several
points between here and the Locks.
The country along the river is fast set
tling up and a great deal of way freight
is handled for these places. By its gen
erous treatment, the boat company has
won friends everywhere along the river.
Below the Cascades passengers wait for
the Dalles City and allow other steamers
to pass, so popular is the company and
so accommodating its officials. When
the locks are open the D. P. & A. N. Co.
will still do the bulk of the business, as
it does today.
Thursday's Daily
Wheat fell three-quarters of a cent in
Chicago yesterday.
The list of examination questions are
published on the fourth page. .
The Regulator took thirteen horses
down the river this morning.
The moral wave has struck The Dalles
with great force. There hasn't been an
offender in the police court for several
days.
A special car containing magnates
from an eastern road was attached to the
local train today and made the. trip from
Portland and return. r '
A marriage liceinse was issued by the
clerk this afternoon to George R. Moore
head and Mrs- L. A Dougherty. Both
parties are from Antelope wbere the
ceremony will take place. -
Three six-horse teams from Klickitat,
drawing wheat, unloaded at the Dia
mond mills this morning. The wheat
was from last year's yield, which had
been held over to obtain a better price.
The handsome delivery .wagon of.
Pease & Mays is seen, again, o the
streets, after a tussle with the elephant
of the Wallace shows. The' wagon
looks as though the .elephant never had
hold of it. s
' ;The fresh breece that is blowing to
day will probably bring the scow, load
ed with piling for the new steamer dock,
up to town. Everything is in readiness
to begin as soon as the piling arrives.
The pile driver has been put in good
working order, and only waiting for
something to drive. -:
' The local merchants are busy getting
in goods for the fall trade., Every day
dray loads of merchandise are unloaded.
Our business men expect a large nnd in
creased trade when the fall . season
opens, and are taking time by the fore
lock.' The railroad company will run an ex
cursion to the locks next Sunday when
the big excursion from Eastern Oregon
arrives. The time table will be so ar
ranged that parties who go will have a
whole day at the locks. ' The exact time
is not yet 'announced. The round trip
fare will be a dollar
Mr. J. W. Endersby from 6-Mile
bronght to Thb Chronicle office a cur
ious snake, which he found in the field.
The reptile is colored blue and red
half of one color and half of the other.
The line of demarkation is very plain
Its length is about 12 inches. Never
having had' them, Thk Chkonicls force
is not very familiar with snakes, but
this is the most peculiar one it ever saw,
The chinamen, who have been em
ployed in Herrick's cannery dnring the
fishing season, took '. up their beds and
walked aboard tne boat tnis morning
bound for Portland. The t-eason has
not been a very profitable one for the
celestials and they go back little richer
than they came.
X -ess than a dozen men appeared at
the armory last evening, so the regular
weekly drill was postponed. A great
many of the members of Co: G are ont
of the city, either at work in the harvest-!
fields or at places of recreation, so the
ranks are-a good deal decimated. Next
month will see the company with its
usual quota again.
Attention is called to the advertise
ment of St. Mary's Academy, which ap
pears in another column. This excel
lent institution begins its next scholastic
year on September 2d, prepared to do
the best of educational work. Efficient
courses are provided, under the super
vision of thorough teachers: The rates
of tuition are low, and the students
placed under the best of influences.
The board of fire delegates at its last
meeting canvassed the votes caBt at the
firemen's election, and declared F.
Faulkner elected chief and Ernest Jacob-
sen assistant chief. There was no busi
ness of importance that came before the
board. It was expected that an appeal
would be presented from some members
of the 'Columbia hose company over
some action which took place in their
rattier celebrated meeting ; but if such
was the intention, the appeal failed to
materialize. : -
The condition of Frank Williams, who
was so seriously nurt by being thrown
from a horse near the Deschutes, still
continues precarious. - The accident
happened eleven weeks ago, during
which time the injured man has never
left his. bed. 'Last Sunday he grew
much worse, and for a time was thought
to be near 4eath, but rallied again, and
just at present is resting easier. Unless
another relapse comes with a few days.
his friends hope to see him started on
the road to recover.
John Knight, sheriff of Marion county,
arrived on the early train this morning
He came after Ed. Herman, who was con
fined in our county jail and who was
caught disposing of pocket knives in The
Dalles. The knives "vere stolen from the
hardware store of Nathan and Marigold
of Gervais. Sheriff Knight Informs us
that he has one of his accomplices con
fined in the jail at Salem, having found
about three dozen of the knives on his
person. Sheriff Driver accompanied
Mr. Knight' on his return, taking with
him Carl Ostlund to the reform school.
Over 700 sacks of this year's wheat
have already been received at the Wasco
warehouse. Two hundred sacks of last
years crop have, also come in. The
market has hot fairly commenced,
but some wheat was sold at forty
five1 cents. .This argues well for a good
price when the season opens in earnest,
as there are now no outside buyers in
town. The new wheat came from points
within a short radius of The Dalles, but
a lew days will see it coming from quite
a distance. A great deal of wbeat will
be handled by the warehouses this
season.
This is the smokiest summer The
Dalles has ever seen. The dense cloud
hangs over the country like a pall, com
pletely shutting from view the sur
rounding hills. At some times the
otlier shore of the river is hardly dis
cernible. . The tourist travel is utterly
demoralized, as the beauties of the Col
umbia are hidden from view. The fires
are much nearer town than a few days
ago, as falling cinders have been noticed.
An early rain in the mountains would
come as a blessing to the people who
are fighting with the flames for their
homes and property.
Friday'! Dally .
, The smoke is not so dense today and
the cool i weather we are having may
mean rain in the mountains. . . ," .

The management of the boat company
has concluded not to have an excursion
Sunday to the locks. Those who wish
to go can find accommodations by train,
which will leave here some time in the
morning, the exact hour not yet being
announced-- There will be something
of interest to see.
Fortv-two crates of melons and 200
boxes of peaches were shipped to Port
land this morning. The Dalles is ship
ping more fruit than ever before and its
reputation is being extended over a wide
area of territory. Next season will see
this place sending away etill greater
quantities of fruit.

from Prof. Gavin, states that the profes-
eor and family left Kane, 111., Aug. 12th,
They will make brief stops al Statet,
Missouri. Kansas Cityr Ozden, Salt
Lake City and Huntington. They will

week, after an enjoyable visit with east
ern friends.
The two travellers from The Dalles to
foreign lands, W. H. Moody and R. E.
Saltmarshe left Portland yesterday
morning at 11 o'clock. They will go
east over the Canadian Pacific and take
passage for England. Their time of ab
sence will be about - two months. The
trip will include a visit to Taris and the
continent.
The water has fallen sufficiently to
show the damage done to the Regulator
dock. The floorinsr of the level portion
and many of the beams which support
it are washed away and considerable
work will be necessary to repair the
damage. As soon as the river falls suf
ficiently to allow work to be commenced,
the pile driver will start repairs. ' '
Mr. George W. Fligg of Endersby
made final proof yesterday before the
land office. The land was taken under
the homestead act, and comprised the

Endersby. - .
The cash receipts of the coonty clerk's
office amounted, during July, to $185.30.
This applies to fees for filing deeds,
mortgages, complaints and the like and
entirely - exclusive of the ' business
done for the county. County business
is done without charge. There, is little
question but what the salary" la wwill
prove a great benefit to the different
counties in the state. .
The' telephone line to Dnfur rested
last night on the hill about one mile this
side of the town. The management ex
pects to reach Dufur tonight and, if pos
sible have telephone communication
with the citizens of that prosperous vil
lage. The wire is being stretched upon
the poles as fast as they are placed in
position and when the last- pole is set
the wire will be ready, and all that re
mains to be done is to adjoet the in

struments. This is the first step in an
enterprise which will be of remarkable
benefit to The Dalles and Wasco county.
The people of Dufur will be glad to be
plaeed in quick connection with the out
side world.
Contest proceedings were held
morning before Register Moore and
Receiver Biggs of the land office. The
case was instituted by Henry Stoneman
against Wm. Keer.ey to cancel home
stead entry 3395 comprising swj of sec
22,t2n,'r 12 e. The entry was made
March 14, 1890. As the defendant did
not appear, judgment by default was
given in favor of the plaintiff.
And still the wool comes in. Yester
day a clip from Day ville belonging to W.
B. Donaldson and E. E. Langblin was
received at the Wasco warehouse. The
amount was 25,000 pounds. Although
tha market can be said to be over, there
will be little difficulty in disposing of the
clip though it is doubtful if it will bring
as large a price as if sold earlier in the
season. . Competition among buyers
will be an absent factor.
'Another new town in Wasco county
has been platted. A survey has been
made of Boyd, on the road between The
Dalles and Dufur, a few miles this side
of the latter place. The plat shows that
the new townsite will contain thirteen
blocks, each block having eight lots.
Besides the original townsite, there
is already an addition called Mountain
View. One entire block is set aside for
a sehoolhonse and grounds. The names
of the streets are Rann, Mann, Moad,
Gilliam, Woods, Rice, Burford, McGaf
fen and Southern Avenue. The survey
ing was done by W.'e. Campbell. Boyd
has been a postoffice -for a good many
years, and is the trading point for- a.
fertile eection of country. - The new
town expects to have a substantial
growth.
What came nearly being a. fatal ac
cident happened this moraine to Mr.
Fred Lemke. By mistake he swallowed
some corrosive sublimate. Mr.. Lemke
bad not been feeling well for some time,
and this morning about '9 o'clock went
to the shelf to get a bottle of medicine,
according to his usual custom. The
medicine and the poison were in two
bottles standing near one another, and

It , was some time before the poi-
tl,i8jsoned man could regain his .speech..
He bad taken aboat seven grains, when
one-twentieth of a grain is considered a'

suffering severe pain. It is safe to say
that after this-he will closely examine

Word From"M. C. W. BSoe.-
, Mr. Horace Rice has just received' an
interesting letter fron his son,. Wesley,,
at Phoenix, Arizona. Wesley Rice left
The Dalles several weeks ago nnd went
to Arizona in hopes- of bettering his
weakened health. The weather baa
been extremely warm ver since hie ar
rival, the thermometer ranging from
lOffi to 110 degrees. . Bhoonix is de
scribed as being a welli built plaue with
good business houses.. The merchants-'
seem to be doing, well, but the farmers
are in a bad condition. Mr. Rice took a.
drive out in the country and saw that -about
half the farms had "for sale' ' '
notices upon them. "Ehe soil is- .very
sandy and when wet makes the stickiest .
of mud.' There- are a great many peo- '
pie in Phcenix.wbo have come from dif- '
ferent portions of the- oouo try. to seek
benefit for lung, troubles. The itreme
hot weather has been very hard upon
them. Tropical fruits- grow in' prof- v
sion, but the 'more northern varieties,
such as peaches, strawberries and the-like-,
ao not grow to the same propor
tions or attain the delicious flavor as
with ns. Mr. and Mrs. Rice live aboat .
thMe-qnarterof a mite-from the town
and. pleasantly situatedi. As soon a
cooler weather comes Mr. Kice expects
to-be greatly benefitted, but intends re
maining till ' thoroughly restored. 1I
gives June 1st as the time for retaining-to-
The Dalles. Mm friends will b
glad to hear of encouraging reports from
biui.
