of the year and those who expect to take
up the course are expected to be present.
Seata are selling rapidly for the per
formance of "Arabian Nights" next

eecared seats to do eo at once.
Colonel Thompson extenda an invita
tion to the public to be present at the
armory this evening and witness the
quarterly inspection of Co. G. The boyi
are becoming quite proficent in military
tactics and the drill will be of interest.
Fruit shipment in large quantities has
practically ceased from The Dalles. A
good many grapes are being shipped
from Grant, a large portion of the ship
ment coming from acrossa tbe river at
Columbus. Material for 1000 grape
crates were sent from here to Grant last
night. The amount of fruit shipped
from the latter place will be quite large,
filling several cars.
The contractors at the locks began the
pumping out of the lower part of the
canal yeeterday. One of the gentlemen
in authority said that boats would sure
ly pass through by March 1st. We are
getting used to delays so the postpon
ment of our Christmas gift causes little
surprise. v
A demurrer was filed today in the suit
of Mrs. Julia Obarr against Dalles City.
This is the action growing out of the
. smallpox scare last winter and Mrs.
Obarr ia suing for damage done her
house and business. The demurrer ia
based upon the ground that the com
plaint does not state facts sufficient to
constitute a cause of action. J. C. More
land of Portland is Mrs. Obarr's attorney
while A. S, Bennett appears for the city.
The committee in charge of the fair
next month are working hard to make
it the most successful meeting ever held
in The Dalles. Everyone should make
up their minds to go and not only that
but as many as possible should make ex
hibits. The races at the fair grounds
will be of a high order, while the display
of fruits, exhibits of fancy work, house
hold skill and merchant's display in the
evening will interest the large crowda
that should attend. , .
Postmaster Crossen received a letter
today from Mr. Saltmarahe in Eng
land, which stated that Mr. Moody and
himself were enjoying their tnp im
mensely. At the time the letter was
written, they expected soon to leave for
France and a tour on the continent. If
tbey bring back all the things their
friends have asked them to, they will
have to charter a freight car from New
York. The letter did not say when the
travelers expected to leave for home.
Mr. Hugh Glenn and Mr. W. C. Alia
way, of the D. P. & A, N. Co., left for
the Locks this morning, where in con
junction with Mr. Hobart, superintend
ent of the state portage, they will make
arrangements for improving the incline
at tbe lower landing. The trestle work
will be extended so that more cars can
be loaded at the wharf boat with less in
convenience. The arrangement which
is contemplated will result in the hand
ling of freight with greater facility.
Tbe aasault and battery cases growing
out of the troubles at Tnmwaler, where
there were conflicting claims between
the Bunnell boys and Mr. Seufert, came
up before Justice Rorick in Grand Dalles
today. There are six defendants to the
charge. When court convened this
morning a jury trial waa demanded en
behalf of the defense, so, to allow a ven
ire to be summoned, the justice ad
journed court till tomorrow morning at
9 o'clock.' The -trial promises to be a
very interesting one and hotly contested.
W. B. Presby and A. S. Bennett appear
for the prosecution, while Huntington
fe Wilson and N. B. Brooks represent
tbe defendants.
The ferrvboat has little time to rest
these days, as it is kept busy from day
light to dark transporting the many
wheat teams that are bringing' their
loads to The Dalles and ' return well
weighted with merchandise. At any
time of day six-herse wagons can be
seen going up and down the hill across
the river while the beach On this side is
crowded. At one time yesterday eleven
wagons were at the landing waiting to
crosa on the ferryboat, which would only
hold two or at the most three.
The Dalles seems to be at the begin'
nine of some mining excitement. As a
result of the fishing war over the dis
puted fishing ground near Tumwater, it
is said some parties -are going to me
mining claims along the river shore and
thus hope to shut out all contestants.
Whether tbia is done in good faith or
only as a move in the mock tragedy now
being enacted cannot be ascertained. It
is well known, however, that parties have
successfully mined along the river shore
at different points and their labors
bronght them fair returns. Between
two sets of fishermen the war at Tum
water has been lively and if miners are
also going to take a band the battle will
be a merry one.
Tnursday's Dally
The weather -report for tomorrow is
fair and warmer.
The population of Ddfur was increased
Tuesday by the birth of a 9 pound boy
to the wife of W. L. Vanderpool.
Dr. J. F. Snedaker, late of The Dalles,
has received the nomination for repre
sentative in the legislature from one of
the districts in Salt Lake City.
The trial that waa set for 9 o'clock
this morning at Grand Dalles had to be
postponed till " 1 :30 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. Great trouble ia being exper
ienced in obtaining a jury. It ia expected
a venire may be returned by that time
Manager Birgfeld has placed two ad
ditional rows of chaira in the opera house
and announces that reeerved Beats in
the last four rows will be sold at 50 cents
each, just the price of admission. As
seats are selling . verv fast, you had
better secure them early.
There were filed with the county clerk
today a deed from F. P. Mays and J. W.
French, executors, to E. E. Barnum,
conveying lots 2 and 3, in block 2, Ful
ton's addition, and a sheriff's deed from
T. J. Driver to A. M. Beardsley, convey
ing lots 3, 4 and 5 and the se. of nw,
sec 6, tp 1 a, r 15 e, W M, containing
134,95 acres.
The fair commences October 8th. Let
everybody make up their mind to attend
and swell the number to its highest
notch. There will be plenty of attrac
tions that will make the fair well worth
visiting. The people from the city and
country shonld get acquainted with one
another, and a district fair ia the place
for meeting.
A large number wishing to take up
study for the coming year met last night
and organized a class. Those who wish
follow the course can obtain books
through any of the book dealers in town.
The class starts with excellent prospects
for success. There are several, not pre
sent last night who have signified their
intention of joining. The Chautauqua
movement is every day growing in favor.
An important real estate transfer took
place today. Mr. J. F. Moore, the reg
ister of the land office, purchased from
J. T. Petera the new house built by the
latter on Eighth street. The property
consists of a lot and a half and bronght
$2125. A few days previous $2000 had
been offered for the same property.
Real estate in The Dalles is possessed of
good value and can be bought cheaper
now than it ever can be again.
The members and invited guests of
Fern lodge, No. 25, D. of H.met at
Fraternity Hall last night and spent a
most pleasant evening. There was a
large turnout and an excellent program
was rendered. Each number was loudly
applauded and all felt it indeed a pleas
ure to meet with Fern lodge. The pro
gram as rendered was, solo, Mrs. SI.
French ; recitation, Esther Beck ; solo,
Dr. Doane, who responded to the encore
by singing "Miss Mulligan's Home
made Pies;" "Scene in a Photograph
Gallery," D. C. Herrin ; duet, Mr. Cran
dalL and Mrs. Varney : "The Cultured
Daughter of a Plain Grocer," Mre. M. E
Briggs ; solo, Mr. Perkins.
A telephone message to Deputy Sheriff
Kelley this morning, from Hood River,
stated that the large merchandise store
of A. S. Blowers had been broken into
last night and about $200 worth of goods
taken. There ia as yet no clue to the
robbers, but it is believed they have not
made their escape but are hiding in the
brush near town. Tbe store, which
was burglarized, is sitnated in the heart
of the town, but no one seems to have
got any wind of the occurrence till this
morning. A track walker on the rail
road found a gunny sack containing
several pairs of shoes, besides some
clothing and cutlery. The thief must
have been frightened and in hia hurry
dropped his load and ieared to return
for it.
William Saunders, who waa
sent to
the county jail from Mosier, on commit
ment papers made out by Justice Har
lan, does not propose- staying in jail
without making a legal effort to get out.
Today through his attorneys Dufur &
Menefee, Saunders petitioned for a writ
of habeas corpus. The matter was
brought up before Judge Bradshaw this
afternoon at 4 o'clock and the arguments
are being made as we go to press.
Saunders claims the justice of peace was
without jurisdiction in trying the case
and since he was an interested party
could not sit as judge. The prisoner
claims hia liberty was unjustly taken
away from him and so he invokes tbe
time-honored remedy of habeas corpus
proceedings. . -

A train load of sheep is expected to

Fall opening of fall and winter hats at
Mrs. A Schooling's Saturday, Septem

clasa in every particular. Friends and
patrons are cordially invited to inspect

William Saunders, and ordered bis re

time in leaving the jail behind him. '
A wagon from Klickitat county, heav
ily loaded with wheat, lost a , wheel
while passing up Second street today
A temporary arrangement was fixed
whereby the wagon was able to reach
the mill and deliver its load of wheat. '
A tea train from the China steamer
now in Portland, passed through Tbe
Dalles, this morning on its way East.
There were sixteen loads of tea in the
train besides a car of silk and one of
matting. The new steame'r line from
Portland to China is opening up a profit
able field of commerce.
There should be a large attendance at
the theatre tonight. The play is agood
one, and as all but Miss Tit tell are from
the -Home Dramatic Club, there will be
a good deal of local interest attached to
the acting. Miss Tittell is an actress of
great merit, and the play tonight is one
of the strongest in her repertoire.
The marriage ia announced of Mr.
Lester Coffin to Miss Nellie Levina of
Bickleton, Wash.' Both parties are well
known in The Dalles, where several
years ago they made their homes.' Miss
Levina waa educated in this city, while
Mr. Coffin, the son of the late Captain
L. Coffin, passed his boyhood days here.
The curtain at the opera house will
rise promptly at 8 :30 this evening and
the management, tbe actors, and those
who always are on time earnestly hope
there will be no late strolling in of people
during the acts. The Dalles has a bad
reputation in this regard; let us see if
we can't mend our ways, beginning to
night.
Sheriff Driver went to Hood Hive
this morning armed with a warrant for
the arrest of Julius Rotberniel, who is
charged with larceny. This is the same
individual who was arrested a couple of
months ago upon the same charge but
which was afterwards withdrawn. The
warrant was issued from Justice Davis'
court, where the arraignment will take
place.
All the property which Tvas stolen
from A. S. Blowers & Co.'s store - at
Hood Kiver has been recovered, except
one bolt of cloth. There is yet no clue
to the doers of the deed, although Con
stable Trana arrested a man at Cascade
Locks, who may have bad something to
do with the robbery. Tbe man had a
quantity of shoes ia his possession, but
'when he was taken to Hood River it was
found the shoes were not the ones stolen
from Mr. Blowere. The man ia being
held till more information can be ae-cured.
Tbe Dalles baa added mining to its
other industries and this morning five
notices for placer claims were filed with
the county clerk. The land upon which
the mineral ia aaid to be located, lies be.
tween 5-Mile and Celilo, near the Turn-
water fisheries. The VKitty Placer
Mine" is the name given to tbe ground
taken by I. H. Taffe, while tbe other
mines and owners are the "Evening
Star," by E.J.Collins; the "16 to 1,"
by Dr. R. Hesse; the "Morning Star,"
by C. B. Johnson, and the "Blue Bird,"
by.. J. L. Taffe.
The Lutheran church, situated on
Ninth street, is to have a new minister.
Rev. Ernest Mack has arrived from
Ashland, Ohio, to take charge of the
work in The Dalles, and next Sunday
will be installed by the present pastor,
Rev. A. Horn. Mr. Horn will be trans
ferred to Goldendale, where he will re

the Lutheran church in Tbe Dalles will
undoubtedly grow. --'

The Wlitia boys take great pride in
their new home, and interest in tbe or
ganization is stimulated to a great extent.
The Coming; Bxpoaitlon.
The quarterly inspection of tbe Third
regiment, held last evening in the new
armory, attracted a large number of
spectators, who were interested in watch
ing the boys go through the military
evolutions. Colonel Thompson and the
regimental staff inspected Co. G and the
hospital corps and found them in good
condition, materially and Supposedly,
mentally, morally and physically. A
large attendance of the company mem
bers turned out. During the evening
the regular drill was held and observers
could eaeily' see how greatly the boys
bad improved since the competitive drill
of July 4th. We doubt if there is as fine
a drill hall and armory in tbe state, out
side of Portland, aa the one in which the
militia of The Dalles are privileged to
meet. The area is capacious and the in
terior of the building handsomely fin
ished and arranged very conveniently.
A wide entrance leads to the drill hall,
while up a flight of stairs are found the
regimental headquarters and 'hospital
corpa room. v Hilegant company rooms
are fitted up under tbe stage. Twenty
electric lights, not counting those on tbe
stage, illuminate the main room. The
regimental quarters and company rooms
The Chronicle is in receipt of a letter
from Mr. B. 8. Pague, chairman of the
committee on state and county exhibits
in the Portland Industrial Exposition,
urging the people throughout .the state
to make exhibits at the fair in Portland
next month. A large space has been
eet off for tbe exhibit of agriculture, hor
ticulture, mineral, fish and forestry
specimens, and tp fill this space every
person wbo promises to send something
and everyone wbo baa anything to ex
hibit should forward tbe same not later
than tbe 28th inBtand earlier if possible.
Many counties will have county ' ex
hibits; to them must be added many
individual exhibits from other sections
to make the state exhibit complete. Mr.
Pague wants grain of all kinds in sacks
and in the straw ; grasses of all kinds
and a good corn exhibit are wanted.
Tbe management desires especially from
Wasco county a fine exhibit of fresh
fruits. The mineral exhibit will be
especially attractive.
. All specimena should be addressed to
Chas. H. Hunt, superintendent Oregon
Industrial Exposition, Portland, and if
so directed will be carried free of charge
by the transportation companies.
Everything ia promising for a large,
successful and interesting exposition.
Special rates will be given by the boat
line and railroad company. The people
of The Dalles should first make their
own fair a success and then, aid Portland
in giving the state the best exposition
Oregon has ever bad.
The Wheat Situation. .
Sheep In the Cascade Reserve.
The wheat market refuses to change
either for better or worse. ' The ware
houses are still paying 37 cents and the
mill 40 cents. Telegraphic advices re
ceived this morning from Portland say
that the Eastern market ebowa signs of
strengthening, bat the price continues
unchanged in Portland. Klickitat
county is bringing in tbe bulk of tne
wheat, most of which goes to the mill
on account of free ferriage' being offered.
Of that which goes to the warehouse,
moet of it is stored and only enough sold
to pay pressing bills of the farmers.
Later The Wasco Warehouse Com
pany advanced wheat this afternoon 2
cents per bushel. Tbey are now paying
39 cents for No. 1 club.
No more BOILS, no more PIMPLES.

By the decision of S. W; Lameroux,
land commissioner, the United States at
torney for Oregon is instructed to begin:
criminal proceedings against all stock
men whose flocks are found pasturing
upon the Cascade Reserve. U. S. Att'y
Murphy after looking into tbe matter
some time ago waa not able to satisfy
himself that the pasturing of sheep on '
the reserve waa in direct violation of the
law and referred the matter to the de
partment at Washington. Tbe ques
tion was brought to tbe attention of tbe
attorney general, who directed . Mr.
Murphy to bring action against persons
allowing sheep in the reserve, as pro
vided under the act of March 3, 1875,
(chapter 151, supplement to the revised
statutes volume 1, page 186, 18 Stats, at
large 481. .
Last summer the matter of allowing
sheep in tbe reserve waa brought to tbe
attention of the Oregon delegation in ,
congress and through the efforts of Sen
ator Mitchell tbe order was rescinded.
This letter of Lamoronx still further
complicates matters. The question ia of
the utmost importance to the stock
growera of Eastern Oregon and before
next spring action should be taken to
allow the pasturing of sheen In tbe
mountains near Mt. Adams and Mt.
Hood. - Any contrary condition would
stifle the wool industry of this section.
A transcript waa filed with the clerk
today giving a history of an occurrence
that happened at Mosier Monday. It
seems there had been aome difficulty, be
tween a man named William Saunders
and Thomas Harlan, justice of tbe peace,
and it is claimed Saunders attacked tbe
justice and was about to inflict divers
and sundry blows when intervening
partiea stopped tbe fight. Saunders
was arrested by Mr. Harlan and brought,
before the justice, who is also Mr.
Harlan, tried and convicted. Tbe bail
bond was fixed at $500, which being un
able to furnish Saunders waa brought
to town and turned oyer to the tender
mercies of Jailer Fitzgerald. It ia aaid
the commitment papers are slightly
irregular, so tbat it is doubtful if the
prisoner can be held. Mosier furnishes
more litigation than any place of its size
in tbe state and can always be counted
upon to furnish a good sized Bensation .
about ao often a year.
