Fish Commissioner McGuire came up
horn Portland today to make a tour of
lie fishing grounds in his official ca-
acitv. Mr. McGuire has a difficult
fosition to fill, as no sooner is his back
urned than complaints are filed, charg-
ig some one with breaking a fishing

A correction was handed The Chbon
biE this afternoon too late for publics

ions are had of Mr. Parrott's invention.
Mr. Fred Pundt has purchased from
he Ladd estate lot 5 in block 3, being
he property on the south-east corner of
rlain and Coni t streets. - The land was
he only part sold as the house had been
rant upon leasea ground. iee price
mid was $2,200, which considering the
bcation and general value of property
a The Dalles cannot be considered a
igh figure.
Wasco county refuses to be surpassed
by any place in producing from the soil.
Mr. W. H. Dufur was in town today and
bad with him some acorns which meaa
tired over three inches in circum-
erence. They were gathered by bis
L'onng son and there is a whole tree full
ike them., Mr. Dufur thinks of propo-
bating the large variety and having an
hcorn orchard. Were these specimens
kent to the Portland exposition, it is safe
o say, they would be decorated with a
Erst premium.
Some time ago several of our promi
pent citizens ordered some suits of
lothing from an itinerant agent, who
happened in the town. One of the con
Liderations was the payment in advance
bf f 1.50, which the purchasers did.
lWeekB have Dassed bv and mill n'nr .
teemed friends -are wearing their old
fclothes. This morning one of them
ailed another up on tbe telephone and
informed him that investigation bad
febown the peddler was a fake and the
later years with hearts as voting as on
that August day fifty-seven years ago.
The young friends of Mr. Sargeant have
promised that if he will invite them to
the diamond anniversary, at the next
church fair which comes around they
will vote him the most popular man in
town.
Mr. Brooks brought with him from
Newport ' some beautiful specimens of
agate rock. They are found in great
profusion along tbe seashore and dili
gent hunters can pick up some lovely
stones, whicb, when polished, take on a
rich lustre. Among the specimens was
a water agate which will cause admira
tion from all beholders. Inside of a
hard, white rock, easily transparent,
can be eeen a drop of water in a grove
about twice the length of the water
drop. The f tone can be turned till the
water flows to and fro in its narrow
walls like in a carpenters level. The
age of the agate is beyond calculation
and the imprisoned drop remains from a
time far beyond human ken. Professor
Condon, Oregon's famous geologist, has
expressed an opinion that the coast
upon which we live is older than the
continent of Europe. It would be quite
a temptatation to break open the agate
and see bow a drop of water thousands
of years old would taste.
Tnursday's Daily
The new hose cart arrived from the
East this afternoon.
The weather report for tomorrow,
says fair and stationary.
Th Regulator . was loaded full of
freight last night. Besides over 150
sheep, there was a large consignment of
stoves and a heavy cargo of miecellane
ous freight.

three weeks duration. She will soon be
able to return to the city,

tire row . of piling has been placed in

sisted in their hour of need. Especially
grateful are they to Daniel Maloney,
Harry Liebe and Rudolph Frank for
their efforts to get word to Mr. Weggen
man, at High. Prairie, of his wife's
death.
Several wagon loads of wheat were
brought from Klickitat county yester
day and sold to the Diamond mill for 45
cents a bushel. The market can be ex
pected to open in a few days as soon as
the new wheat arrives in quantities suf
ficiently large to make competition
among the buyers.
Konrad Abelard was arrested ' last
night for fast riding. Mounted on a
black horse Le rode up and down Second
street as fast as the animal could go.
Yesterday morning he was fined $30 for
being disorderly. Upon condition that
be would immediately leave the town,
he was allowed to go. 1
A huge threshing machine came up
last night on the Regulator, billed to
Mays & Crowe. The thresher was one
of the largest ever shipped into Eastern
Oregon and the biggest that ever came
by boat. Tbe Dalles City was com
pelled to land at the foot of Washington
street to take on the machine, as it was
too large to go in the dock.
A camping party consisting of Mr. and
Mrs. J. C. Hostetler and Mr. and Mrs.
C. E. Dawson and their families started
for ' Glenwood, Wash., this morning.
They went as far as Lyle on the Regula
tor, from which Jplace they will drive
to Glenwood. They expect to remain
until September 1st, and take with them
a large wagon packed full of camping
utensils.,
Cap't John W. Lewis has received no
tice that he has been selected an honor
ary aide de camp on the staff of the de
portment commander of Kentucky.' Jt
is quite a compliment to the captain, as
the ' selection was made without bis
knowledge. The next national en
campment will be held at Louisville,
Kentucky, Sept. 9th to 14th The first
post in that state was organized' in
1883. The members increases from 400 1
in '83 to 9,815 in 1893. ' This was the
high water mart and the next year the
membership fell to 6,567 and the follow
ing year to 5,703. These figures tell the
story of how the old soldiers are march
ing to final orders. ' ' '
The officers and passengers on the
Regulator saw an unusual sight at Lyle
landing yesterday. An immense army
of crows had come down the valley and
lighted npon the sand beach and trees
along the shore till the appearance of the
land was black. There seemed to De
thousands and thousands of the carions.
They were evidently holding a conven
tion of some sort.
Mr. W. H. Butts has been appointed
deputy fish and game protector and will
receive his commission as soon as it can
be made out and forwarded. ' Mr. Butts
was strongly recommended for the posi
tion to Mr. McGuire, the fish commis
sioner who was in town this morning,
with the result that Mr. McGuire be
came convinced of Mr. Butts fitness
and tendered him tbe appointment. Mr,
Butts' friends will be pleased at his se
lection.
The Chinaman, Lee Ching, who is ac
ensed of assisting in the murder Toes
day morning, has been removed from
the county to the city jl. He and Lee
bit, 'the other one implicated, were
talking too much to each other and as
Ching has already made damaging
statements against Lee Git, it was
thought best to remove them so no
patching up could be done.
The board of school directors, through
Clerk Jacobsen, paid today all warrants
outstanding against the district. The
warrants amounted to $2741.36. This
will distribute quite a sum of money
among the holders, and make a good
deal of idle capital, which will have to
seek other investments. The Dalles
public schools are in good financial con
dition, and taken altogether cannot be
surpassed, and we doubt equaled by any
other city in the state.
A car loaded with pears started for
Chicago at an early hour this morning,
It was not loaded in time to catch the

riage, Misa Anna Southwell and Mr.
Henry Hook of Lyle, Wash. Rev. A.
Horn performed the ceremony.
Tbe favorite lounging place for those
not very industriously inclined is along
the 'incline leading to the Regulator
dock. The pile driver and workmen
Duiiuing tne foundation for the new
warehouse provide objects of interest.
Fifty-three hundred pounds of fruit
were shipped from The Dalles to Port
land on a freight train this morning.
The shipment comprised different varie
ties of Bmall and large fruits. Fifty-two
crates of cantaloupes were in the consignment.

grand jury and at present out on bonds,

and brought to The Dalles by Constable
Trana. Mrs.' Fawcett'e bonds are only
$50, but her bondsmen feared lest she
was thinking of leaving them and for
this reason had her brought back.
Mr. A. McCully, engineer of the Reg
ulator, has received a specimen of some
hops grown' on his farm in tbe Willam
ette valley. Tbe hops are of fine growth
and clean, being free from any annoy
ing insects. ' If the remainderof the hop
crops in Willamette valley is on a par
with this specimen, the yield '.this year
will be a fruitful one.
Some Chinamen in the city believing
that the murder of Tuesday was due to
a highbinder fued, have given- tbe offi
cers the names of four celestials who are
charged with being highbinders and bf
having no regular livelihood, other than
what they obtain by bull-dozing and ne
farious methods. The officers have
given them notice to leave the town.

rented a bouse on the hill, and will
place his children in school. The edu
cational advantages of The Dalles are
becoming widely known, and are ac
countable for drawing many people to
become residents of the city.
Balfe Johnson, who for several years
has been tbe Western Union operator in
The Dalles, baa been promoted and
given the telegraph office in Astoria.
Mr. Johnson is now absent on his vaca
tion, but will return Sunday and make
preparations for leaving permanently.
He has made many friends by his cour
teous behavior while in The Dalles, and
their best wishes " will follow him for
success in his new position.
Mr. R. H. Lonsdale has retired from
the position he has occupied for many
years in the mercantile, house of A. M.
Williams & Co. Mr. Lonsdale is an un
usually good book-keeper and a very
popular young man. His friends, and
they include all wr a know him, hope
that he will remain in The Dalles, where
he hs made bis home for the last eight
years. He will oe succeeded in ms
position by Mr. n. W. French, who ia
very favorably known in The Dalles,
The racing cart, which arrived yester
day .causes much admiration in firemen's
circles. The cart ia built very strong
and gaily painted, so it cannot help at
tracting much attention in the Vancou
ver tournament. From the inspection
the boys have made, they are well sat
isfied with the purchase, and consider
the money well spent. The team was
practicing last night on Second street in
the presence of many witnesses. They
covered the ground in very quick time,
and showed great facility in making the
proper connections.
The warehouses are gradually being
filled with wheat. The receipts are
growing larger every day. The Wasco
warehouse now contains 1500 sacks, 500
of which have already been sold. The
other 1000 are held till the market be
gins after tbe first of next month. The
nominal price of wheat is now 45 cents,
but unless all signs fail it will be ad
vanced in a short time. Forty-five
sacks of new wheat were received from
Sherman county at Moody's warehouse
today. The berry this year is very
plump and the results of the acreage
planted is better proportionally than
usual.
A very important deed was sent to the
county clerk this morning to be recorded.
The grantors are S. T. Bryant, C. A
Brvant, W. L. Bryant and Walter L.
Bryant and the grantee is the Stacbys
Mining Co. Tho deed conveys the prop
erty, near Mosier, npon which is situa
ted the silicia mines, mention of which
was made In Tub Cheoniclb some time
ago. The consideration amounts to
nearly $500, but the cost of developing
will be large. This enterprise means a
great deal to the people of Mosier as
well as Wasco county and shows how
varied are our resources and that -their
development is but begun.
Four casks of catfish, addressed to E.
R. Cary, Prineville, passed through tbe
Pacific Express office today. ' They were
from the F. C. Barnes fih establishment,
Portland. Tbe fish were in common
butter casks, filled with' water and an
opening at tbe top, covered with wire
gauze, to. allow air to reach the occu
pants inside. ' It ia said the owner in
tends stocking some of the Crook county
creeks with this variety, but the wisdom
of such procedure was doubted by the
group of scientific fishermen which stood
around looking at the fish this morning.
Mr. McCoy has ( Catfish are very repulsive looking and
are apt to drive away the better kinds
of fish when placed in the same s'treams.
The propagation of the German carp is
considered a mistake by many people,
and it is thought the plantingo'f tbe cat
fish will have the same result.
Some Fine Looking Sheep.
Last night tbe steamer brought to The
Dalles seventy-six fine looking bucks for
Mr. Charles Hilton. The animals were
taken to Saltmarsheta feedjyard, where
they were visited by a number of spec
tators. Mr. Hilton purchased the sheep
from J. II. Glide, an extensive stock
raiser of California, who has given the
closest attention for many years to stock
breeding. The animals are crosses be
tween French merino bucks and Span
ish ewea and combine the thick long
staple of the latter with the largo size of
the French merino. The horns are very
long and colored black. The coloring
cornea from the tar weed, which grows
extensively in the grazing lands of Cali
fornia and issues a sort of tar, which
colors everything with which it comes in
contact. In the band, which a Chron
icle reporter visited this morning, there
was one which excited especial interest.
It waa a fine, large French merino, as
large aa a good sized bear and bearing
a very heavy fleece. These animals sell
for between $100 and $250. Mr. Hilton
will take his flock to Dufur for feeding
in a clover field there and will then
transport them to bis Gilliam county
ranch. Mr. Cotter also brought up by
the Regulator last night, eighty bucks
from tbe same band as Mr. Hilton. The
animals all Btood the trip from Califor
nia remarkably well and are now in
prime condition. This venture will be
watched with a great deal of interest by
tbe stock growers of Eastern Oregon, and
the influence of the new breed will un
doubtedly be felt in producing larger
sheep with longer staples of wool.
Attempted Jail Break.
' Last night about 7 :30 Lee Morehouse
made aa attempt to escape from tbe
county jail. Jailer Fitzgerald opened
the door to pass in food for the prison
ers. As be did so Moorehouse, who was
standing at the foot of the steps leading
into the jail, grasped the door with one
hand and the leg of tbe jailer with tne
other. Some of the prisoners ran up
quickly, presumably to aid in tbe es
cape. Jailer Fitzgerald braced himself
in the doorway, and making a big effort
succeeded ia closing the door. Thia ia
Moorehouse'a eecond break for liberty,
both of which have been frustrated in
the same way. The prisoner waa intro
duced to the feeling of an Oregon boot,
and probably nothing more will be
heard of him till tho grand jury meeto
next November. Moorehouse ia con
fined on the charge of larceny of a horse
and saddle. He evidently prefers the .
cold, hard world to the peaceful quiet
of a county jail.
Wilt Find Them Home.
Mr. J. C. Muilins, of the Boya and
Girls Aid Society, came up from Port
land today, bringing with him four boya,
who are to be placed in'Eastern Oregon
homes. Cornelius Richardson, aged 13,
will go to the home of R. Brookhonse;
Lee McEUmney, 12 years, to Mr. Mc
heynolds home; Willie Dixon, 13 yeara,
to Henry Schadewitz, Kent, Sherman
county, and Reuben Bnckby, who will ,
go to the home of George Maxwell,
Gooseberry, Gilliam county. Mr. Mui
lins leaves tonight with bis charges, and
will take them each to bis new borne.
Mr. Mnliina ia a very pleasant gen
tleman, and does a great deal of good
in the work he is engaged in. The Boya
and Girls Aid Society does grand work, '
starting many boys and girls on the right
road when, from circumstances beyond
their control, they were left helpless, or
worse.
An important real estate transaction
was consomated yesterday. Mr. Sam
uel Wilkerson bought from Mr. Dietzel
the lot on Washington street, opposite
the Joles residence. The price paid waa
$950. Tbe let is a very sightly one, and
will make a eplendid building spot.
Mr. Wilkerson intends boilding a hand
borae residence in the immediate future.
This summer has been one of tbe most
active in building Tbe Dalles has ever
known. New residences and building
have been erected in every portion of
town, and uniformly have been great
additions to tbe citv. The immediate
future of The Dalles is as bright aa tbe
very brightest, and the best era in its
history is just beginning.
