At one time this morn ing eight wagons, loaded heavily with merchandise, were standing in front of the Wasco warehouse, ready to start on their long journey to Prineville and the country south of The Dalles. The team sters all say a little rain would help the roads greatly. The receipts of wheat were not as large today as previously during tbe week. The teams from a long distance do not generally arrive in town Satur day. The price here still remains un changed, though it dropped a half a cent in Portland yesterday. From 41 to 43 cents is' the price being paid, the mill of fering free ferriage to Klickitat farmers. Tbis morning a riderless horse ap peared at the house of Mr. Paulsen, in the garrison. He was saddled and bridled, and to the saddle was tied a man's coat. There was no way telling where the animal came from. The horse was an iron-erav. branded 'with wha appeared to be a. C on the left shoulder. The Hood River fair is aoe success. The exhibit of apples is one of the best made anywhere, and other fruits are displayed in as much profusion with the same good taste. Those who attended tbe exhibition yesterday were greatly pleased with what they saw and earnestly hope a portion of the exhibit will be seen at the District fair next week. At tV.a Mlmta. line.; Aoa f T Epworth League, the foilowing officers were elected for the ensuing six months : W. A.

The boat company is reaching out for trade in all directions. Work was begun this morning on a dock at Rockland or to be up with the times, Grand Dalles. Mr. Allaway, Mr. Glenn and Mr. Brooks went over to choose the place where the dock is to be built and work was imme diately begun. Piling will be driven to support a platform forty feet square, which can be made larger if necessary, to accommodate the wheat. This un dertaking would have been accomplished earlier in tbe season had it been possible to. sparethe pile driver from, the work on this side of the river. Mr. W. M. Barzee came in from Sher man county this morning.- While driv ing np the Deschutes hill he counted eleven teams on the grade. ' He passed teams freqaentlyon hid way to town and met wagons returning with freight. The people he talked with in . Sherman county consider The Dalles their best trading poiut and if tbe roads were in better condition, would gladjy haul their produce to our markets. As it is, even with the roads as poor as they are, this rlarn la a((tn .t.A f .... ui t e...v.ug uiuio nucai iiuui ouer man county than any previous eeason. Over 700 sacks came in from there yes terday. Mr. Barzee says the question of good roads is being greatly agitated among the farmers and they look to The Dalles for help in obtaining them. Mr. Hugh Gourlay has been appointed superintendent of the District Fair, and is busy today getting things in readiness for next week. He bas secured exhibits from a number of merchants and expects to have more before tho opening day, Section six of the by-laws says that all the crates to the fjir srounds shall be open and free on Monday,-the seventh day of October, for the purpose of giving exhibitors an oDDortunitv to put their goods, articles, or animals on exhibition AH entries must close at seven o'clock n. m. on Mondav. the seventh day of October, eighteen hundred and ninety five, and all goods, articles, and animals must-be in place and on exhibition by twelve o'clock noon on Tuesday, tbe first day of the fair. An unusual sight ;was ' witnessed by the people along Union street this after noon, when a band of 400 fine looking cattle were driven to the ferry. They were purchased in Crook and Gilliam counties by a Montana gentleman and were being taken to Yakima, where thev will be shipped by train to the Montana range. A great many cattle are brought to The Dalles in the course of a year, but most of them go to the stockyards at the east limits of town and so large a number taken through tbe streets is something of a rarity. Ben. Snipes, the. veteran cattle king of the Northwest, was among those who watched the cattle driven on the ferry boat, as force of habit would bring him to where stock was being driven. The pumpkin pie social, given by the ladies of the Methodist church last even ing was a great success and the promoters feel very much gratified al; the result of their labors. A large crowd listened to the.program, which was rendered in an excellent manner, and then partook of the feast of good things which were spread on long tables in the basement The receipts of the evening were $17.65, which, considering that the admission charged was only 15 cents for each per son, is quite a substantial sum. The money will go towards paying for the lighting of the church, an obligation which tbe Good Intent Society has as sured. The committee in charge of last night's entertainment wish, through The Chronicle, to thank those who took part in the program and otherwise assisted in roakiug the evening the sue cess that it was. Mr. Southwell, whose place is about ten miles from The Dulles, made a cur ious discovery yesterday," while digging in a portion of Ins Held, in company with a farm hand he unearthed the bones of an extinct auiinal of mammoth size. One bone was taken irom tne ground which measured six feet from tbe lower to the upper joint. Its diameter was nine inches, while the breadth of the upper joint was thirteen inches. Judging from tbe size of tbe piece found, Mr. Southwell judges that the animal must have been at least twelve feet high. Eastern Oregon is prolific in fossils and it is probable the ones fonnd are from some mammoth which, in ages past, used to wander over Oregon bills. This specimen, which from the description of tbe finder,8eems to be a good one, ebould find its way to some of the museums be longing to our schools. Monday's Daily. See the fine display of Douglas shoes in C. F. Stephens' window. . A carload of bogs and two carloads of sheep left the stockyards for Troutdale this morning. Tomorrow the fair begins and every body should made up their minds to at tend just aa many times as possible. New sailors just received at Mrs. M. E. Brigga millinery parlors. Latest caps in new styles for children new to day. The Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navi gation Company beaded tbe subscription list for-tbe new Sherman county road with $100. . Fair week starts out with the premise of splendid weather. If tbe remaining days are like this one the most veritable crank will be satisfied. See the advertisement of Chas. Becht on the second page. Mr. Becht has all kinds of good wines which he will sell in wholesale and retail quantities. Tbe electric light company is putting in an arc light at the entrance of the armory. No additional lighting is nec essary for the .interior of the building. A new foundation is being built under the Columbia hotel. . The building will be raised several inches and strengthened throughout. Some very heavy timbers will be used for the underpinning. Articles of incorporation of the East Fork Irrigating company were filed to day with the county clerk. The object is to furnish water for irrigating pur poses to people in Hood River valley. In thecommunicatiou signed by "Bor rower," published in Saturday's Chron icle, the writer intended to say that "bonds will be filed for the cost of locat ing the road," instead of the cost of building. A prize has been offered by the man agement of the fair for a quarter mile boys race, and the following will com pete for first place. Robt. Murray, Willie Lytle, Charles Heppner and James TJrqubart. The Woodmen will give a social to morrow evening at Fraternity hall, to which all members of the lodge and their families are inyited. There will be a musical and literary program, followed by a period of sociability. , Hugh Gourlay has retired from the editorial management of the Klickitat- Republican and again taken np his resi dence in The Dalles. Mr. Gourlay is bright and shining light in the editorial profession.. We-will be glad to bear of his success at anything he may under take. Glacier. On the steamboat dock can be seen the timber which will be placed in the Regulator to serve as a hog post. The niece measures sixty feet . long and is sixteen inches square. It will be planed down considerably before being put in position. i J. H. Kolman will remain a few days longer at the Umatilla House with his samples for suits and Bbirts from tbe celebrated Jacob's Shirt Co. of Portland A fine assortment to select from, at low prices. Fit coaranteed. Please call and make your selection. The west-bound passenger was late tbis morning-and did not arrive in The Dalles till after 6 o'clock. The delay was caused by the burning of a bridge in the Blue mountains. The damage will be repaired so that the inconvenience will not be of longstanding. The bicycle races will be one of the in teresting features of the fair. They were watched last year with a great deal of interest, bat tbe races are expected to contain more entries this time. ' In the half mile novice race there have entered, G. E. Bartell, H. M. Esping, E. C, Drews, Joe Bon'n. The following will race in the mile handicap: Joe Bonn, E. C. Dre-vs, Ed. Riggs, H. M.

T, will give a basket social next Saturday evening, Uct. latb, at tne jnignts ot Pythias hall. The ladies are requested to bring a box or basket, each basket containing lunch for two with tbe name inside, nf the lady bringing it. The baskets will, then b sold to the highest bidder. An interesting program is be ing prepared. A cordial invitation is ex tended to e'eryone to come and partake of a good time. No admission fee. will be charged. The revival services at tbe Christian church closed last evening. They had been in. progress " two weeks, during which time the pastor, Rev. I. H. Hazel, preached every evening and on both Sunday mornings. The results of the re vival have been very satisfactory to the pastor and those who had the meetings in charge. Fourteen conversions were made, twelve of whom have already been baptised by Mr. Hazel. The re vival services are now ended for the present, but may be begnn again in the future. The attendance last night was very large. Today Constable Trana brought from Cascade Locks Thomas King and de livered him over to Sheriff Driver. The commitment papers show that King was sent to jail by the justice at Cascades be cause he was delinquent in his road taxes to the sum of $3. The sentence of the ustice was that King be kept two days in tbe county jail. Tbe costs in the case amounted to $22.35. It cost this latter sum to force the collection of $3 and then the county didn't get it. Something is radically wrong with our judicial system when costs can be piled up to such an extent and the county be none the gainer'. One day this week Mr. T. H. Johnson, tbe well-known merchant of Dufur was out in the country putting up signs for tbe P. D. & P. Trilby shoe. His dog, McKinley, was along with him. The horse which he was driving became ner vous and suddenly remembering a barn several miles away, in which there was some good hay, started for it at a speed faster than a trot. The run didn't im prove the buggy much and when tbe wire was passed, nothing remained un broken, but the tire bolts. McKinley arrived some time later, looking as the democrats say the illustrious gentleman for whom he was named will look after the next election. - The next time Mr. Johnston goes driving he will take some bay along with him. Tuesday's Daily. Fair and stationary, temperature is promised for tomorrow. Farmers are wishing for rain. They ere all ready to plow, but the ground is as yet too dry. The Regulator was crowded with pas sengers last night. They were mostly people coming to tbe fair. Tbb Chronicle goes to press too early to get the reports of today's races. They will be published tomorrow. Twelve race horses arrived on the steamer last night for entry at the fair. Six of them were runners and six trot ters and pacers. ' Dry goods, ladies cloaks, hats, mack intoshes, gents suits, pants, etc, of tbe very latest styles, now selling at bed rock prices, at Boss Cash Store. - David Creighton, who lives a short distance from town, has raised ten tons or prunes irom - two acres of trees, six years old.

The program will be published later. The remains of the late Ben Irwin passed through The Dalles this morning, en route to Portland. Mr. Irwin was well known in The Dalles, where he fre quently came on business trips. ' A train load of sheep is expected to leavo here Sunday for Chicago.' Six double-decked and twelve tripple decked cars have been ordered. The sheep belong to Aleck Fargher. Ihings in the pavilion are rapidly as suming shape. There is noqnestion but that the exhibit this year will surpass all former ones. ' Extended mention will be made tomorrow of the different exhibits. . Work was suspended on the new dock across tbe river on account of the work' men having to appear before the coron er's inquest today, concerning the death of Mr. Sands, caused by the falling piling.

' We learn fiom the management that the prices of admission to the District Fair will be as follows : Admission to tbe fair grounds, 50 cents for gentlemen, ladies free. A charge of 25 cents will be made at the armory, on Third street, for each person, good for the day and even ing. The Dalles Orchestral Union will give a musical concert each evening dur ing the week. Children under 12 years old, accompanied by their parents, free, The great satisfaction given by Prof. Garrison in hia writing classes, . has caused general desire for another course of lessons. An advanced class will be organized tomorrow evening at tbe Court street school, admission to which is only $1.50, or half the usual price. A 4- o'clock class will also be organized, ad mission to tbis being $1. No such op portunity was ever before offered to our young people, so we hope to hear of a rousing class being organized. ' The report of the city recorder for the month of August shows that the total amount of cash received for fines during that time was $50. The total number of arrests made was thirty-five. Of these seven were convicted upon tbe charges for which they- were arrested, twenty four were discharged, while fonr forfeited their bail. The marshal's report-says eight were arrested for being drunk and disorderly; twenty for being in mates of bawdy bouses and seven jugged for vagrancy. The number of meals furnished prisoners was three. Mr. R. F. Wickham brought to The Chhonicle office today some hops, sim ilar to the ones he lias placed on exhibi tion at the fair. .Mr. Wickham lives on Dutch Flat, where he has nearlv two acres planted in hops. He first began their culture about eleven years ago. Mr. Wickham says tbe bops have grown and do well in land un watered by any artificial means. The fact that hops grow in such different localities as Dutch Flat and Mr. Vogt's farm, where tbe bop yard is on bottom land, shows that Wasco county is well adapted to tbe growth of this product. If the price justified the venture hundreds of fields of luxuriant hops would make their appearance on the . hills and valleys of Wasco. The specimen referred to stands in tbe front window of The Chronicle office. George Herbert lost his wonted genial ity yesterday for a time and there is no telling what he woqld have said had anybody been present to hear him. The way it happened was this. Mr. Her bert was coming from Grants to The Dalles on a freight train yesterday, and the train stopped a couple of miles this side of Celilo to make some repairs to the engine. - As both the brakemen were busy, George was asked to walk np the track around a curve, and flag anj train that might approach. With his usual accommodation, he hastened to comply, and did his work so well and in such a quiet manner, that the train men forgot all about him and signalled the en gineer to go ahead. When nearly to town some one' asked, "where is Her bert" and tbe answer came, "be is out on tbe track beyond Tumwater wav ing a nag." It was nearly dark when Mr. Herbert reached town, having had to wait till an extra came along. This was the way the story was told The Chronicle, but the chief actor in the tragedy says it hasn't the resemblance of truth, but he is unable to give anv satisfactory reason that will explain tbe length of time it took him to journey from Grants to The Dalles. Advertised Letters. Following is the list of letters remain ing in tbe- postofhee at Tbe Dalles un called for Oct. 5, 1895.

The members of the German Gesang Verein last night celebrated the sixth anniversary of the organization of tbeir society. Tbe exercises were held in the Baldwin opera house and the large ball was woll filled by the members of tbe society and tbeir friends; The Orchestra Union was present and greatly aided in making the evening an enjoyable one. The program opened with the overture "Stradella," played in a' splendid man- Jier by the orchestra. The members of the Gesang Verein then rendered two choruses, -"Der Rhein" and "Waldvo glein." The society contains some very good voices and : the singing last night gave evidence of careful training. At this point in the evening the newly elected officers were called upon for speeches and tome neat responses were made. The officers are as follows: President, Jo3eph Nitscbke ; vice presi dent, I. C. Nickelsen ;. secretary, Charles Scbutz; treasurer, Charles Stabling. An overture, "Leicht Cavalerie," by tbe orchestra was followed with singing by the ' Harmonie of "Schottischer Bar- denchor" and "Im Walde." The march Ben Hur Chariot Race" closed the musical portion of the evening. The latter part of the program was one which greatly interested the audience, being a comical piece in one act called "Das Erste Mettagessen," or "The First Dinner." The cast was as follows: Otto Baltzer, assessor. Mr. Hans Han sen ; Eugenie, his wife, Miss Anna Stub- iing; Dr. Romberg, the family physi cian, Mr. .Harry ueDe; Charlotte, the serving maid, Mrs. Charles Stubling.

Hood Rler Fruit Exhibition. The Hood River Fruit Exhibition closed its two day session Saturday night. The attendance was very large, nearly everybody in the valley attending beside a good many visitors from out side points, such as The Dalle?, Portland and Cascade Locks. The exhibits were placed in the armory building, a large, commodious structure, well fitted for an xhibition of this kind. The display of apples is pronounced by those competent to judge, as about the finest ever made in the Northwest. Long tables extend ing the length of the room were loaded with the luscious beauties. Besides apples there were exhibits of other fruits Garland Stoves are . "We respectfully invite all heating stove or steel range . to call and examine our new line and get our prices. We have a verv large assortment to select from, we can give vou splendid bargains this year, and will guarantee to save you, money, simply because we are satisfied with small profits.

Special inducement to cash buyers. MAIER & BENTON, HARDWARE DEALERS and PLUMBERS, Next door to Snipes-Kinersly Drug Co.; A. Bettingen's old stand, Second street. for which the Hood River valley is far famed. All kinds of vegetables were placed for inspection. A great deal of interest was taken in the baby show and the decision of the judges awaited with considerable anx iety. A committee, consisting of Mrs. Lord, Mre. Biggs and Mrs. MacAllister, were appointed to judge on the merits of the little ones. Of course the decision was a hard one, as each baby was the prettiest in the eyes of Its mother. The decision of tbe judges showed that the baby of Mrs. Armour received the first prize and Mrs. Yates' baby received tbe second premium. We are sorry to learn that the exhibit will not be brought to The Dalles, but will be taken to tbe Portland Industrial Exposition. We had hoped a portion of the display, at least, would be seen at our district fair. Hood River is large enough to have a good exhibition simul taneously at every fair in the Northwest.
