funeral services and left for that place on
the Regulator this morning.
The music by the orchestra last night
deserves great praise. We are confident
there is not an amateur arganization in
the state which can compete with our
musicians. It is well worth the price of
admission to bear them. The armory
should be crowded tonight.

the fair. It is the vest worn by his
father at his wedding, some hfty years
ago. The material is fine black broad
cloth, handsomely and elaborately em
broidered with black silk. In one of the
pockets is a watch, a family heirloom of
uncertain age, but apparently as old as
the voyages of Bed Eric, when he tailed
the uuknown waters of the North At
lantic.
At a meeting of the Keal Estate Ex
change held yesterday, the contract was
awarded to the Chronicle Publishing Co.
for the printing of the pamphlet, which
' the Exchange has had in preparation for
some time. The book for so it may be"
called will be descriptive of the re
sources and advantages which Wasco
county offers as attractions to immi
grants. The publication will be lllua
trated with cuts showing many points of
commercial interest throughout the
county and will be the means of widely
advertising this section. The work will
be completed under a rush order.
Mr. Brent Driver, a well-known far
mer of the Wamic country, and brother
to Sheriff T. J. Driver, arrived in town
yesterday with a band of cattle, which
he had just sold and brought for .deliv
ery. He was delayed over a day on his
journey, by the cattle breaking away at
night, while they were pasturing at 3
Mile. They reached the Brook bouse
place before being recaptured. Mr.
Driver's son brought in some fine stock,
which he will enter for premiums in the
fair.
Mr. Glenn, who has charge of con
structing the docks for ' the The Dalfes
Portland & Navigation Co., both at
Rockland and The Dalles, telegraphed
to Portland yesterday, and secured the
services of Thomas Walsh, as foreman
of the piledriver. Mr. Walsh arrived on
the train last night, and began work
this afternoon, in the position made vac
ant by the death of Mr. Sands. Mr.
WalBh is an experienced man on bridge
and dock work, having been for several
rears in the constructing department of
the O. R. & N. Co. He also had charge
of the pile driving for the first Regulator
dock at TheDa'les, and was employed
at the state portage for a considerable
time. Under his supervision the work

man and J. W. Fansher, secretary of the
meeting. A committee consisting of C.
F. Mitchell and J. C. Matney were ap

upon the hill near Mr. Wick's place.
After interviewing the residents along
the road, the committee secured from
the following persons promises of aid in
constructing the road: C F Mitchell,

not having easy access to markets. The
road will greatly help in developing the
upper Mill creek country. .

one. The price etill con tinues the same

is a daring performer and makes a won
derful parachute jump from a great
height.
At a meeting of the fair directors held

fitting close to the week of festivitiee,
The different committees are being ap
pointed today and will be announced to

event of the winter's social season and

ion toe play or JJamon and fythias was

very much to complete the series. Any

gratefully received.
Mr. Truman Butler, purser of the Reg
ulator, began a months leave of absence

best wishes will he present at all times.
During Mr. Butler's temporary absence
his place on the Regulator will be filled
bv Mr. Latimer Booth, who made the
trip this morning.
A gentleman who drove in from Sher
man county yesterday said, in a conver
sation this moraine that the worst part
of the road between The Dalles and the
free bridge was from here to Floyds.
The road for the remaining distance is
very good, but a great amount of work
must needs be done on the part men
tioned. There are chug holes to fill up
and places to smooth down before the
road will be in good condition for travel.'
A great many teams are headed towards
The Dalles from Sherman county. The
attention of the road supervisor of the
district, included between here and
Floyds, is called to the bad condition of
the road with hopes of soon bearing of
its betterment.
'An effort is being made to have the
merchants close their places of business
tomorrow and allow their clerks to at
tend the fair. Friday will be the ban
ner day of the week. The schools will
close and all the children are promised
free admittance. The store closing
proposition meets with general approve,
It has been the practice to suspend busi
ness one afternoon during the fair and
give everybody a taste of a holiday.
A rumor was current this morning
the truth: or falsity of which could not
be definity learned that repreeenta
tives of the railroad were out in Sber
man county yesterday talking to the peo
ple regarding the building of the road
down Rattlesnake canyon, for which a
subscription was circulated in The Dalles
during the week. The management of
the O. R. & N. are, it is understood, very
much opposed to the building of the
road and are willing to make extensive
concessions to tne people oi onerman
county provided the road will not be
built. That it wili divert a lot of busi
ness from Biggs, Grants and Rnfus and
bring more business to The Dalles, there
is no question. But we doubt if the con
struction of the road can now be stopped,
no matter wnat mnnence is Drongnt.
The promoters of the undertaking are
Sherman county farmers who are anx
ious to be brought in close connection
with The Dalles and are determined to
carrv their point. The merchants and
business men of this city have responded
very generously to the call for assistance.
