At the . last apportionment of the county tax one-twentieth of one mill was set aside as a county relief fund for in digent soldiers and sailors, who had de fended the country in battle. There have been so many claims for such relief put in that the fund Is now exhausted , Last Monday while - Ed. Smith of Grass Valley was coming down Tygh - hill, driving eight horses with a load of lumber and a trail wagon, the brake : gave way and the team started to run down the grade. Mr. Smith managed the team skillfully and kept them in the road till nearly the bottom, when the horse Mr. Smith was riding fell and - earned the rider to the ground.

Three lumbermen from Michigan were ' in town Sunday looking over the pros ' pects for opening a large lumber mill. They left for Portland this morning. Three head of French merino bucks arrived by express today from Canton, Ohio. They are for C. B. Durbin of An telope. Mr. Durbin intends placing them on his stock farm near Antelope. ; A number of the officials of the O. U. Sc N. Co. made Ja trip- over the road be tween here and Portland. The object of the trip was to prepare the road for the winter and to guard against landslides. .. Hugh Gourlay has disposed of his in terest in the Klickitat Republican, pub lished at Goldendale. He will make The Dalles his home in the future. We are glad to have him with us once more. ' Thomas Woods, who was on bis way to the Salem training school, fell off the long trestle, west of town, this morning. He was trying to get on the west bound passenger.. ; While running along the walk on the side of the bridge he came to the end fnd fell off. He received quite a shaking up, but is not-supposed to be seriously hurt. -' Keep in mind and make preparation to attend theconvention of the Christian Endeavor societies of Wasco county,, to be held Thursday evening of this week in the Christian church, and Friday at 6:30 a. m.f sunrise meeting; 9:30 a. m. and 2 p. m. regular sessions begin.

One of our champion wood sawing celestials, by the name of Sam, who started for bis home in China a few days ago, nag suddenly turned up in Havana, Cuba. A letter was received from Sam yesterday morning asking for $30 with which to return to The Dalles. It seems that Sam was Aim-flamed in San Fran cisco and made to believe that he was embarking on a ship which would take him' to his fatherland, but he soon landtd in a different part of the globe, alone and penniless. His friends here have made up the necessary amount to bring bim back. . Sam will undoubtedly be more careful in the future. No. 21, commonly called the Heppner local, met with a very serious accident at Squally Hook, between 7 and 8 o'clock Saturday night. A hundred feet or so east of Squally Hook the engine struck a steer, knocking it off the track and up an embankment. The embankment be ing very steep, the steer rolled back on the track, throwing the trucks of a freight car off the track. When the car struck the frog at the east end switch of Squally it started down the wrong track, throwing the entire train, except the engine and a lew cars, on tbe track. Thirteen cars were completely wrecked. One tramp has been found in the wreck and another is eunposed to have been killed, but as yet they have not fonud his remains. ' There was a mistake in Saturday's Chronicle as to the readings of the Chautauqua for the coming year. Tbe list of the books are: KThe Growth of the American Nation," by H.P." Judson, professor of political science in the Uni versity of Chicago, $1. The "Industrial Evolution of the United States," by the Hon. Carroll D. Wright, United States commissioner of labor, illustrated, $1. "Initial Studies in American Letters,' by Henry A. Beers, professor of English literature in Yale University, $1.

They are all substantially bound in red grain cloth, uniform in height, width and binding, together contain nearly 500 maps and illustrations. Taesdn7a Daily. ( The nights are getting frosty. The weather report for tomorrow says fair and stationary. Two hundred boxes of peaches were shipped from this place to Portland this morning. Two cars of salmon from the Turn- water fisheries were shipped to Portland this morning. There will be a meeting of the Home Dramatic Club this evening, at the opera house, on matters connected with the coming performance under the superin- tendency of Miss Tittell. A deed was filed tor record today from F. H. and E. P. Button to Luella J. Rand, conveying an undivided half in terest of four acres in sec 3 n, r 11 e; consideration, $250. . J A large emigrant wagon and party of intending settlers went down on the Regulator this morning. Thev were headed, for the Willamette valley and had come from the East. The convention of the Christian En deavor societies of Wasco county will be held next Thursday in the Congrega tional church.. The meetings are prom ised to be very interesting, and members from all parts of the county will be in attendance. City Marshal Blakeney says he wants everybody who owns a sidewalk with nails protruding above the boards, to pound those nails down. Many of the walks are in bad condition from this cause and a little exertion and a hammer will accomplish great good. The Taine class held a pleasant meet ing lust night at tbe residence of Mrs. Curtis. The author for discussion was Carlysle. This was the third evening spent in studying that author and closed the leeson upon him. The 'author for the next meeting will be John Stuart Mills. - The Heppner local, which 'is due in The Dalles at 9 p. m., did not reach here till 2 :30 this morning. The delay was caused by something going wrong on the mountain division. Mr. Win Curtis will enter the junior class of Williams college, having done the first two years of college work in Pacific University at Forest Grove. This speaks well of Oregon institutions and OregonCboys, where they are ad mitted to the highest years in the old eastern" institutions upon the basis of work done in Oregon schools. We regret to see by dispatches tbat the Valkyrie is being dismantled, and hope its noble owner will re-consider and accept ths invitation we are told is to be extended to him of tbe hospitality of the middle Columbia. It will be much safer than the Willamette at Portland. An eye can be. kept on tbe wood scows extra , guards on the fish wheels, so they do not break teose. . The Regulator will be tbe only real danger at large, and it can be in but one end of the course. We can trust our Captain Waud and his crew to-keep her in order. This thing should ; be pressed before it is too late. Of course, we will have the privilege of sitting; on ' the rocks to Bee the yachts go by. . Mr. A. W. Miller', superintendent of the mineral exhibit of the Portland ex position, is in the city arranging for an exhibit of the chief mineral exhibits at the Industrial exposition next month. Mr. Miller was in charge of tbe Oregon exhibit of minerals at the world's fair two years ago, and his work there caused much favorable comment. Those who visited Jackson park will remember the miniature representation of a mining scene in Southern Oregon. . It is tbe in tention of tbe Portland management to make the mineral exhibit a distinctive feature at the fair and to this end Mr. Miller is traveling throughout the state. He speaks enthusiastically of' tbe pros pects for the exposition. The Kortttamberlamd Small ripe" Its Player. The Jfllcs Go to Cascades. A party, of Elks left The Dalles last Saturday night on the Regulator for Cascade Locks, where a number of per sons were to be initiated into the order. A very enjoyable time was spent on the way down and before the party could realize it tbe boat had pulled along side the dock at the Cascades. The boat left Cascades for the return Sunday morning at 7 o'clock and arrived here about 11 :15. The Elks give great praise to Captain Waud and his crew. They say that there never was a more genial captain or a more accommodating crew on the river. The following Eiks composed the party: T. J. Driver, L. E. Crowe, J. S, Fish, G. W. Phelp8,F. W. Wilson, C. L, Phillips, H. Glenn, O. Kinersly, C. Stabling, Andrew Keller and J. Wiley. Work Being rushed. It appears that what is called the 'small pipe" had, until quite recently, almost vanished from Scotland. ' The present Duke of Northumberland (in whose tamily- there has been a bagpipe ever since the days of Wallace) became much' interested in the restoration of tbe small pipe. In his efforts he was greatly encouraged by his friend, Dr. Brice, a Presbyterian minister of fame in the vicinity. At a certain musical concert he offered two prizes, of ten and five guineas each, for the beet.players. He was able to secure but two contest ants. In connection with this concert it was discovered that there were but two of the small pipes in existence, and that, if the music of this pipe was not to cease from the land, new pipes must be made and new players found. One Robert Doogan could repair the pipe, but he could not construct one, having no lathe. Accordingly Dr. Brice had a lathe made for him, and the small pipe was restored with improvements. . Tbe restored pipe was called tbe "Northum berland Small Pipe, Improved." Then Dr. Brice and the duke determined upon a "grand jubilee concert." . For this, after scouring the country in search of men who could play the small pipe, at length eight players (including the two above mentioned) were found. At this jubilee concert, as at the other, James Dougan won the first prize, of ten guineas. It is expected that Mr. Dougan will play this piece at the musical entertain ment in the congregational church on Wednesday evening. Note The small pipe differs from the Highland bagpipe in that it is not only more delicate and more musical but has a much wider range. Tbe Highland pipe has only eight stops, an can strike but .nine notes. OLD HICKORY -WE CARRY A FCLL USE OF- Strength, . Darability, Honest ConstroetioD. The Heaviest and Best Ironed Wagon on earth.

A Birthday Party. Work on the boat company's ware house has been delayed for several days on account of the lumber not arriving. Some of the heavy beams, which are to support the floor, were unloaded yester day and the carpenters are busy today placing them in position. .. The piling A very pleasant birthday party was given last night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. I. J. Norman, on tbe hill The occasion was the eighteenth armi versary of their son Walter's entrance into the world and it was fittingly ob served by the inviting of a small number of his yonng friends.. The even' ing was dehghtfullyspent in con versa tion and listening to vocal and lnstra mental musical selections. Near the close of the evening a dainty lunch, pre' pared under the skillful hands of Mrs, Norman, was served, and then the youthful guests bade their, hospitable entertainers good night after wishing the one in whose honor the party was given many happy returns of the day.

Salmon for Fertiliser. Articles of incorporation have been filed with the county clerk by the Valley orchard, where they will A lot of fish caught at the rapids was allowed to spoil yesterday by being left on the track and not hurried through to the cannery. Instead of arriving yes terday at noon the car did not reach here till late last night and some of tbe fish were not in good condition for can ning. The salmon were gotten rid of by sending them down to George Snipes' be used for Improvement Company of Hood River. The papers were made out in Hood River and signed by J. E. Hanna, C. A Bell, C. M. Wolford, J. H. Ferguson, L. E. Morse, P. Snyder and H. F. David son, incorporators. The capital stock of the concern is $20,000, divided into 1000 shares of the par value of $20 each. The object of tbe company is to construct a ditch or canal or flume, with laterals, to diyert water from Hood River, for gen eral rental, sale or distribution for pur poses of irrigation and household use; also to collect compensation at reasona ble rates from such use and to furnish water power for milling and transporta tion purposes and to buy, sell and lease real estate. Lassoed a Ber. fertilizing purposes. Two wagon loads passed down Second street today loaded with the spoiled fish. Fine looking steelheads and royal cbinooks found an ignominious end by being buried in an orchard, instead of gracing tbe tables of Eastern epicures. ' Tbe loss of the fish will fall heavily on some one and it is to be hoped better facilities for transport ing them will be provided. " Waiting; for the Cats. . Hank Snipes had the unusual experi ence of lassoing a deer in tbe Columbia river. He and his brother, Charles, were standing oh tbe shore at Rowena, Mr. J. M. Huntington, secretary of The Dalles Real Estate Exchange, has received a letter from the Portland firm to which the order for cuts, to be placed in the advertising pamphlet, had been given. The' letter stated that the firm was unable to handle the order just at present, and bad sent them to an en graving concern in forest Grove, with orders to finish the work as fast as pos sible. " Tbe pamphlet is already for printing, and is waiting - only for the cuts to arrive.

Cooper received a letter to day from A.' N. Gilbert, superintendent of tbe Oregon penitentiary, informing Mr. Cooper of his appointment as super intendent of the farming department of the Oregon state penitentiary. Mr. Cooper was much surprised at his selec tion, not being an applicant for the posi tion. He will go down.' to Salem to morrow and see if the position is one which be will care to accept. y Comiag unsolicited it was quite a' compliment. MABRIKD. Iu this city, at the residence of C. B. Adams, on Sept. 15, 1895, by Justice L. S. Davis, Miss Rosie Akin to Mr. C. B. Adams. . The troubles of Mr. Seufert and the Bunnell boys were brought to a tempo rary termination by the end of the law suit this morning in the justice court for Grand Il.illes. After listening to the testimony and hearing the' arguments of lawyers, the justice rendered judgment discharging from custody one of the de fendants, F. H. Smith, and holding another, J. W. Aiken, to appear before the superior court for Klickitat county. His bonds were placed at $400. The re maining prisoners, J: A. Bunnell, J. A. Canfield, E. C. Smith, E. J. Smith, F. A. West and ' John F. Bunnell, were ordered to appear a week from next Wednesday ' and answer the charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. In he meantime fishing will be continued at a furious rate. . The program to be presented at the Congregational church concert Wednes day night is one of the most attractive that could be given before a Dalles au dience. The sources of talent have. been drawn from both at home and abroad, and the different personages who will appear are par excellence in their re spective fields. The concert which was given last spring was considered in everv way a great success, and tbe one tomor row night is meant to surpass it. The playing of the bagpipes will be a feature that is new, and will carry tbe listener to the land of the Scotch, where the music of the bagpipe is dear to every Scotchman. The ladies who have tbe concert in hand are making every en deavor to make it a fit opening for the winter's season of entertainment. At considerable expense they have made arrangements for the coming of partici pants away from town, and their desire to please those who attend should be liberally rewarded Following is the program, which will be given this evening, Piano Solo-On Wings of Sons;.

The much-feared slump in wheat has occurred and the price is gradually drop ping. Whether or' not it will take an upward turn even tbe moBt skillful spec ulators are unwilling to hazard a guess. Tbe market can be said now to be open and buyers are busy consoling the farmers because of the low price and assuring them it will go no higher. At the warehouses today the ruling price was 37 cents a bushel, while Mr. Curtis, of the Diamond Mills, told a Chronicle reporter he was paying 40 cents. Most all of the Klickitat county wheat goes to The members of the Home Dramatic Club held a meeting last evening in the' parlors of the opera bouse. Tbe meet ing was called to make arrangements for the giving of a play in the near future, under thedirection of Miss Essie Tittell, an actresB of. much merit well known. in, the Northwest. Miss Tittell was present last evening and discussed matters with tbe club. The play selected is "Arabian Nights," a comedy capable of producing much laughter. The play resembles the famous story, of . similar title, only in name, and is constructed entirely on a different plan, being an up-to-date, nine teenth century comedy, full of laughable situations. ' The members of tbe cast -will .begin practicing at once and will be kept very busy till the time of perform ance. The play will be given in about two weeks.. . . The Situation at the Locks. It is said only 125 men are now work ing at the locks. This is a large reduc tion from the force employed a couple oi months ago. The reason assigned is that no more men can be obtained, and that tbe contractors have tried hard to increase the roll, but without success. If true, this i a peculiar state of affairs, as every day men can be seen looking for work. We sincerely hope nothing Will happen that will delay the excava- tion of the canal. 'This is the season . when work can be pushed to the beet advantage, and a large number of men. should be working. Delays have been so frequently announced that the public is tired of bearing tliein longer.' The great undertaking is so near its end that everyone is counting on an early com pletion. To be delayed longer than March 1st will set tbe people of Eastern Oregon to murmuring again. If labor- - ing men are needed to hurry tbe work; we will go down and labor a little our selves. ' ' ' y r Back From the Wreck. Mr. J. F. Graham, master mechanic of the O. R. & N. Co., and Mr. P. W. DeHuff, general foreman at The Dalles, returned this . morning from Squally Hook, where they went to take charge' of clearing the track of the obstructions caused by tbe wreck of Saturday. Eight cars were badly damaged, some of them proving a total wreck. The road is cleared so that trains are running on tbe flouring mill. Tbe warehouses are I time, and the wrecking outfit will soon rapidly being filled with grain, some of which is placed for storage and some sold outright at tbe ruling price of the day. Eleven hundred sacks were re ceived -yesterday at the Wasco ware house. The teams are coming in large numbers, and the East End has taken on lively look. Wheat was selling at Rufus yesterday for 33 cents, a difference of 7 cents per bushel between the price there and the figure paid by the Diamond Mills and 4 cents in tbe warehouse price. A.
