A., Senfert and the Bunnell., boys have bad a dispute over the right to fish on the Washington side, near the foot of the rapids. One lawFuit has alread been resorted to, but as that didn't settle the matter, other means were taken np, A few days ago a warm dispute took place between Mr. Senfert and the people, who, it was claimed, were cans ing interference with his fishing. The circumstances of the quarrel are very contradictory " and both sides give a different coloiing to the dispute.

Owing to the fact of it being incon venient for all persons concerned, an effort will be made to have the trial held here. Wheat In Coming- In. Yesterday was a busy day in the local wheat market. . The wagons from the interior came in long lines from all direc iions. The street in front of the Wasco warehouse, Moody's and the mill was crowded with teams unloading their wheat. At one time eight wagons were tanding in front of the Diamond Mills, waiting their turn to unload. Most of the wheat that was received yesterday came from the southern portion of Sher man county, a distance of forty-five miles. Last rear and the season pre vious this wheat all went to Biggs and Bufus, but attracted by the greater price which The Dalles market pays the wheat was hauled here. This is another feather in the cap of the boat company, figuratively speaking. The Dalles will be the great grain market this year as it was the chief emporium forjthe sale of wool early in the summer. - The First Fall Kain. A steady downpour of rain has fallen all day. It commenced raining shortly after 8 o'clock, and has continued with out a break. The downpour will be i welcome visitation to stockmen, who have been complaining of the' grass on uie nms drying up. To them the rain will be a god-send, and start the grass so that the cattle will fatten np during the fall, and enter the winter in a good condition. There is little danger of the wheat being injured, as a great deal of it is under sheds, and what remains in the field is well covered with straw. Several farmers expressed themselves as being not at ail nneasy, unless the rain should keep up for two or three weeks, which it probably won't do. The Dalles seems to be the center of the shower, for near the Cascades it was not raining this morning when it was pouring here, Thirty-One New Pupils This Week.

This will school buildings convenience to the '. principal and teachers. Each building should have a telephone, so that any teacher can have instant communication with the prin cipal when necessary. The woik will be brought closer together and cases of dis cipline can be reached in quicker time, Yesterday The Chbonicle stated that fifteen cars of horses were shipped to Troutdale. This was an error. Cattle was meant instead of horses and just . how the substitution was made nobodv knows. The Troutdale Packing Co, has nothing to do with horses, as is well known, but handles more cattle than anybody. They are making a great rep utation not only in the Northwest but in the East for the high character of their Droduct. and their cattle hnver Mr. Monroe Grimes, only takes the choice . beeves that can be fonnd in Eastern Oregon. A lively time was witnessed ' at the Begulator dock this morning. A few minutes before the boat started a drove o( hogs was driven to the dock for ship ment. Gates were put up, the gang ways cleared and every possible courtesy shown and inducement given, but the hogs wouldn't go aboard. Entreaties, threats, blows and all sorts of blandish ment had little effect and the job of loading them was a weary one. Finally after a half hour of . hard work, during which several of the animals broke away and had to be rounded up and brought back, the hogs were got aboard. ', '. Tnnrsday's Dally A car of fish left Tnmwater last night for New York. It was shipped by Seu fert Bros. V Five cars of fruit passed through The Dalles this morning.' The car that was expected to leave, here did not get away, be a great and evening. . .. ,',',' A deed was filed with the county clerk today .from John H. Kuberg conveying to the O. B. fc N. Co. four acres of land near Hood Biver. , ADoutmteen boxes of salmon were shipped from Hood Biver and Lyle to The Dalles yesterday.' The catch down the river is continuing very good. A dance will be given tomorrow night at the Baldwin opera house. Admission 50 cents for gentlemen ; ladies free. The Orchestra Union will furnish the music. Bichard Beamish, who for three years has been watchman on tne steamer Beg ulator, has resigned his position and left the employ of the D. P, & A. N. Co. He will engage in farming near Hills- boro, Washington county, where his parents reside. ' , . 1 The county court has made an order that no warrants will be delivered till five days after the court adjourns. This is done in order to give the clerk time to make out the warrants and check up the lists. ' , . -; ' Two large emigrant; wagons, canvas topped, occupied the front deck of the boat this morning. The occupants were homeseekers, who had been attracted to the Willamette valley : by the superior advertising done by that section of the state. Eastern Oregon had plenty, of good homes for all those who will stop and investigate the boundless unoccu pied territory in this land district. To the homeseeker no place offers better attractions than the bunchgrass land of Eastern Oregon. Charged With Assault on F. A. Seufert. Grand Dalles is putting on city airs today. The attention of the whole pop ulation is engrossed with a criminal law suit, which is an important one as in- The increase of students in the public schools is very marked and every day sees further additions to the enrollment, Thirty-one new names were added to the rolls on last Monday, making the enrollment 531. This is considered a very large number for the first two weeks. Many old students, who it is known will attend, have not yet come in and with those who have to wait till harvest before beginning studies, will mage inia year tne Danner one lor a large attendance. Considering the great addition in room which 1 the directors have provided in the last two years and the fact that the limit is again nearly reached, it is a cause of wonderment where all the students come from. Mr. Crqahart Has An Accident. Constable TJrquhart met with an in jury last night, which, while it was not very seriouB, will give him a good deal of inconvenience for some time to come. He was driving in a cart near Mr. Cnsh ing'g place, when the horse became frightened and started to lunge. In some way the- cart was overturned and Mr. TJrquhart thrown to the ground. His shoulder was dislocated, but he was not otherwise injured. Dr. Eshelman was called and attended to his injuries. . He will be able to be around in a short time but it . will be quite a while before be can arrest any fractions prisoners. . The Defender Given the Race. Mr. O. H. Pihl, one of the govern ment engineers who has been at work in connection with the obstructions at the dalles, was in the city today. In com pany with Ahio Watt, tax agent of the B. & N. Co., Mr. Pihl visited the rapids above The Dalles yesterday. He interviewed some of the people who own land along the proposed survey, relative I to the possibility of obtaining the need ed right of way. Mr. Pihl is in favor of boat railway as the easiest way of over coming the obstacles, and freely ex pressed this opinion to a Chronicle representative who conversed with him today. He giyes two reasons for this be lief. First, that the length of time neces sary for a boat to pass lrom the river below the rapids to the smooth water above would be much shorter by means of a Bhip railway than through a canal. It would take, so Mr. Pihl estimated, three or four hours for a boat to go through the canal, while one-half the time would do for transportation on the boat? railway. The second reason was the cheaper cost ot construction. Mr. Pihl will make his report to headquarters, and this -winter may see some action taken regarding starting operations. Major Post also is said to favor a boat railwav rather than a canal, Warrant to Collect Taxes. Mr. Tyler, of the Western Union, re ceived the bulletins today from New York regarding the yacht race of yester day. The first one read "The committee sustains the protest.". The second one, "The Defender is given the race." This probably means that the Valkyrie wag thrown out on account of a foul and the Defender was given the race. If such be the case there will be great rejoicing throughout America and the decision of the committee will be applauded. Seven bottles of Strickland's Sareap- arilla for $5. at the kSniDes-Kineralv Drug Co. Telephone No. 3. The county court at its last session' is sued a warrant to the sheriff command ing Dim to levy upon the property on which the taxes are delinquent for 1894. The tax roll has already been gone over and a delinquent list prepared. The sheriff , will appoint deputies in every precinct, who - will levy upon the prop erty and make a return. After being advertised, all property upon which levy has been made, will be sold at public sale. The part of the warrant referring to the levying'process reads this way ': You are hereby commanded to collect the taxes by seizure and sale of. the goods and chattels of such delinquent taxpayers whose names appear on the foregoing list, and it none be found, then upon the real property,. as set forth in the delinquent tax list, or so. much thereof as may be necessary to satisfy the amount of taxes so charged, together with the costs and expenses of collect ing, and that you pay over all moneys so collected to the treasurer of said county. - .. -.. ; The warrant from the county court is dated September 9, 1895, and made re turn a Die in sixty days. The court says the taxed must be collected, and the sheriff and his deputies are going to see thrt the mandate is obeyed. . Congressman Bryan tn The Dalles. Congressman W. J. Bryan, the silver tongued orator for eilver of Nebraska, arrived in The Dalles on the early morn ing train and continued his journey to Portland by the boat. : He was accom panied by his wife and. child. . Mr. Bryan wa an early riser, and spent the daylight " hours before the Begulator left in walking around town and visiting several points of interest. Among other things, he took a look at the new can nery, and was fortunate to see it when crowded with fish. - The party seemed greatly astonished at the amount of fish heaped on the cannery floor, and inter ested in having the machinery and can nery appliances explained A can of salmon was given to Mrs. Bryan, which she said she would take to her Nebraska home. ' ' ' Considerable curiosity was manifested by people at the dock to see the man from Nebraska whose fame is wide in the land as one of the foremost cham pions of free silver coinage. He is a large, well-built man, with a face that shows determination, and an eye that flashes as if denoting fire. He is dark complected, with hair of coal black color, He wore a Japel button with "16 to 1" printed in large letters, so a stranger would easily know what his views upon the silver question were. In a brief conversation Mr. Bryan ex pressed himself ; as delighted with the trip so far, but sorry that the day on the river promised to be so wet. He had heard a great deal about the beauties of the Columbia river, and wished to see them at their best. Begarding the silver question, the dis tinguished gentleman had little to say, except that he believed in the ultimate triumph of the white metal. During his short stay in Oregon, Mr. Bryan will be heard upon the coinage question. Fell Off the Railroad Bridge. Last night about 8 o'clock Nightwatch man Connelly was "notified that an In dian had fallen off the bridge leading to the company's shops. In company with Sheriff Driver and 8 Chkoniclk reporter, Mr. Connelly went to investigate the matter and underneath the bridge found the Indian. He bad fallen off the south side of the trestle, where there is no railing and made a tumble in the air of over forty feet. He was lying all in a heap, but perfectly conscious though suffering considerable pain. ' He was assisted to his feet and after resting a short while was able to walk to the city jail, complaining all the while of feeling sick.' He gave his name as Indian Charley and said he lived across Mill creek - and was going home at an early hour, as every good man should do. He admitted haying imbibed rather strongly of the white man's cider and it is sap- posed that in crossing the bridge the number of glowing headlights so multi plied to him that he stepped to one side in order to escape trains fr6m all direc tions. . He struck on his head on a sand pile and when found was lying upon the brink of the creek. If he had fallen a foot or two to one side he would have had an impromptu bath. Last eight he seemed to be badly hurt and bled , in' ternally, but this morning when the marshal opened the jail door he found him sobered up and ready to go, more fully convinced than ever of the benefits of whisky since he will probably argue that if . he hadn't been drunk the fall would have killed him. Meeting of the Militia Officers. The regimental and company commis sioned officers of the National Guard in The Dalles held a meeting last night in the company rooms to arrange for the management of the Vogt opera house during the coming season.' Colonel Thompson, Lt. Col. Patterson, Major Booth, Capt. Chrisman, Adjutant Bid dell, Lieuts. Varney and McAvoy were present and took part in the deliber ations. The meeting was called primarily to consider ways and means to obtain scenery for the stage and to fit out the opera house in proper stjrle. It was de cided to give an opening performance in the latter part of October and ask the Home Dramatic Club to take charge of the performance for the benefit of the militia. It was stated that the members of the amateur theatrical organization had been spoken to and had expressed a willingness to co-operate in every' way possible. The choice of a play and the naming of the date was left with the club. A committee consisting of Colonel Geo. T. Thompson, Lt. Col. J. M. Patterson: Capt. Levi Chrisman, Capt. O. C. Hoi lister and Lieut. H. H. Biddell, was ap pointed to take control of the opera house and act as a managing committee. The intention of the militia company and the committee is to spare neither labor , nor expense in making the new opera house attractive. .,-.- Mrs. Hawley Hurt.' "" An accident occurred at the Salvation Army barracks last night which resulted in a broken arm. Mrs. Hawley, a middle aged lady, living on the hill, waa coming out of the hall at the close of the devotional exercises last night and as she stepped on the sidewalk her foot slipped, causing her to fall. Her left arm was bent under as she fell and broken just at the wrist. The unfortun ate lady was taken home and Dr. Doane summoned to attend the injuries. She" ' was not otherwise hurt.
