The Rathbone Sisters, under whose
auspices "The Confederate Spy" is to be
produced tomorrow night, request that.
owing to the fact that the house will be

was purely an accident that The Cdbon
icle argued a like action in Saturday's
issue, rue Katnoone sisters naa in
tended previously to request the ladies
to remove their hats, so tnat all might
have a fair view of the play. A little
inquiry sbowB that the request will be
complied with generally.

Juat for devilment" thev first threw
stones in the water where otner Doys

men started to walk across the long
trestle which spans Mill creek. The
boys changed their targets to the China
men. . Tne latter gave ine Doys cnase
and ran one of them down among the
piles under -the Baldwin opera house.
Three of them brandished sticks with
apparent intention of chastising the lad,
when there appeared'a number of young
men from the Umatilla house, which
had a quieting effect on both the boys
and the Chinese.

John Cradlebaugh's party is 14 days
overdue, and yesterday a party was dis
patched to the mining camp to find out
what was the matter. Arriving at
White Salmon he found they had pro
visioned up for about two months longer
and he returned, well knowing that Mr.
Cradlebaugh would not come until the
commissary department was reduced
more than that.
Judge Fulton of Sherman connty paid
The Chronicle a pleasant call today. He
eays the Rattlesnake Road is in fine con
dition and a great help to the people of
his county. He says tne grade on this
side ought to have some work and we
trust our county court will not lose sight
of the fact that the work ought to be
done during the wet season and should
not be delayed.
A device for saving fine gold is on ex
hibition at the Columbia hotel. It is
an improvement of the old-fashioned
rocker, and, it is claimed, will save three
times the amount of fine gold that can
be saved by any other process. The
name of the invention is tne "Gold Bug
Chief," and the rocker motion is given it
by the action of water.
Mrs. Mary Scott Myers, department
president of W. R. C, returned last eve
ning from an extended trip in the val
ley, visiting corps in McMinnville, In
dependence, Corvallis and Albany.
Each corps greeted Mrs. Myers most
cordially, giving a reception in her honor
in the t-vening. At Independence she
made the necessary arrangements for the
delegates in June to the annual conven
tion. Mr. Leslie Butler's team, attached to
a carriage, ran away this afternoon. In
the carriage was seated Mr. Chas. BaB
com and Mr. Butler. When reaching
the corner by the Joles residence, the
buggy was overturned, throwing both
gentlemen Out in the street. Both
sustained severe bruises, but no serions
injuries. The horses were stopped by

When the Regulator left the dock this
morning she had on board five tons of
hams, bacon and lard marked "A. A
Bonney, Junesn, A'ur-ka.''
This Bhipmi-ii .. ill be t.k--n on board
the cars At Poi :.. ! and to Tacoma,
and from thtit-t.y wcau bteamer to
Alaska. While me shipment is an ex
periment, there is every reason to sup
pose it will be profitable. Juneau is the
most important commercial city in
Alaska. Practically the great basin of
the Yukon is reached by but one route
that via Juneau and the Chilkoot pass
a route taken by fully mnety-nve per
cent, of the gold-seekers of the vast in
terior. Juneau is the outfitting point,
the head of regular steamboat naviga
tion during the winter ' and , spring
months. The town Is well supplied
with hotels and restaurants, where
meals are furnished for 25 cents upward.
Juneau is the main supply point for the
interior. Here outfits are purchased for
the long journey of 700 miles to Forty
Mile, and the principal supplies are
flour, bacon, beans, sugar, tea, ham,
canned meats, rice, dried fruits and
coffee. It is a trip calling for supreme
hardihood. It is made over enow fields,
icy and steep mountains, frozen lakes
and rivers. Wood is scarce and storms
come suddenly and rage with fury.
Wherever possible hemlock boughs are
laid on the snow to a depth of a foot for
beds. At a place called Sheep camp is a
climb to be made of 3,500 feet, and for
600 feet of it every step must be cut in
the ice, so steep that a person with a
pack on bis back must constantly bend
forward to maintain his equilibrium.
Notwithstanding the hardships, suf
fering and misery attendant upon reach
ing the Yukon, there are thousands of
gold-seekers who annually make the
trip. '
It is probable that some of the meat
which left The Dalles this morning will
be taken in packs by these men, but the
town of Juneau will in all likelihood
consume tne bulk ol it. Mr. a. a.
Bonney lelt yesterday for Juneau,
Alaska, and if the market is satisfactory
further shipments will be made regu
larly. Previously the Columbia Pack
ing Company has shipped their meats to
San Francisco, every steamer leaving
Portland for San Francisco during the
month of March, carrying some of their
meats and lard.
FOOTPADS IN THE DALLES.
Messrs. N. Barrls and Barry Schwartz
Held Up Saturday Night.
"Hands up!"
This was the command which Mr. N.
Harris and his chief clerk, Mr. Harry
Schwartz, received while ascending the
brewery hill on their way to the Harris
residence about 9 o'clock Saturday
night. For several blocks previous Mr.
Harris noticed footsteps in advance of
his own, and he now believes they were
waiting to see what route he would take
leading to his home. He next encount
ered them on the hill when they stepped
out suddenly from a rock and confront
ed them with the regulation footpad
command.
Meears. Harris and Schwartz prompt
ly obeyed. The latter carried a lighted
lantern, and with considerable method
this went np with the band, affording
the victims a good opportunity to ob
serve the robbers. Their coats were
turned inside out, and they wore half
masks, but Mr. Schwartz claims to be
sure of their identity. Mr. Harris eays
he can identify the arms if he ever sees
them acain. They carried old-fashioned
horse pistols, or very large revolvers,
which Harris observed were nickel
plated, and which he got a . first-rate
view of when thrust muzzleward toward
them, in close proximity to their faces.
Mr. Schwartz' foxy action in elevating
the lantern was reproved by one of the
robbers, who snatched it and blew out
the light. He then covered the victims,
while the other searched their pockets. J
It was apparently their first experience
in this kind of crime, for the robber's
hands trembled as he examined the
pockets. He found only thirty cents in
Mr. Harris' pockets, but fared some
what better with Mr. Schwartz, finding
$11.60 in coin. The robbers examined
each of their watches, bnt returned
them. They were courteous, and ac
commodatingly picked up several of Mr.
Harris' things dropped on the ground in
tbe search and restored them to the
owner. They then bade the gentlemen
good night, with the parting caution
not to look back.
A Powerful Play.
The Home Dramatic Co. are exerting
every effort to make the coming play the
best tbey have ever produced. If it ia as
good as several tbey have given in the
past they deserve a full house. The
company is practicing assiduously nearly
every evening and are assisted by Prof.
Wm. Rasmus, a finished actor, who will
take an important role. The part of
"The Unknown," is a mystery carried
even to the published show bills. He is
a pick-up, rejoicing in tbe nom de plume
of "Lonsdale-Hampshire," and even the
inquisitive and audacious reporter was
unable to learn his identity. Of the
play' itself, nothing too commendable
can be said. It is a standard drama
which cannot fail to interest, having a
central plot, well sustained to the end.
There are thrilling climaxes, powerful

adventure, bravery, villainy and friend

sheet was opened this morning and good

A BAND TOURNAMENT.
Mr. J. O. Miller Proposes to Fill Our
' City With Music.
Mr. J. G. Miller, a very progressive
citizen of Tbe Dalles, the publisher of a
musical journal called "Harmony," and
a thorongh musician, has inaugurated
and is pushing most praiseworthy
scheme which has operated in the East
with amazing success, and now wants
the Pacific coast to share or rather dupli
cate that success. It is for the forma
tion of a "Northwestern Band Associa
tion," comprising tbe st&tes of Oregon
and Washington, that is a congress of
bands of the two states that shall meet
annually in some city, hold a five days
session and have a grand musical tourna
ment. There is toibe no rivalry, no
chance for hard feelings, but on the con
trary, suctra grand good time, with mu
sfcal round-ups, excursions and social
intercourse as will promote the friend
liest feeling and good fellowship between
communities it is possible to mature.
Circulars have just been sent to var
ious bands by Mr. Miller throughout the
two states, and letters , of acceptance
have come from Antelope and Corvallis.
Colfax and Dayton, Wash., will also
probably be here, as they have already
expressed their hearty co-operation
balem has a very nne band which it is
thought will be present. The first of
the five days' session will be one of re
ception, The Dalles band meeting each
in a glad overture of welcome, which will
be responded to by the visiting bands.
The second day will be a grand parade
of all the bands, the lead band playing a
march, its last note to be taken np by
the first note of the band following, and
so on through the line without losing
beat. The third day, tbe bands will
unite, all playing the same selection
As there will be anyway ten bands at a
safe estimate, -or about 125 musicians,
the volume of sound will be something
grand, the like of which has never been
heard in the West.' Concerts will also
be given in the opera house. It is pro
posed that this meeting will be held
some time in September, and Mr. Miller
is working bard and will continue to
work to perfect all the details. It is the
plan for the visiting bands to pay their
own expenses of coming and going, and
the city to, pay their expenses while
here. There is no doubt it will attract
many hundred visitors to tbe city, and
is really the most alluring class of tour
naments that could be imagined.

Supreme Judge John Burnett, Ben

Mr. James McKay of Portland is in
the city and will remain about a week.
Col. Sinnott introduced the venerable
appearing gentleman first as Gov. Pen
noyer, but when Mr. McKay and the
reporter both protested, the colonel said
he was just joking, the fact really was
that Mr. McKay first piloted Lewis and
Clarke down the Columbia river in 1802.
The Chronicle man then appealed to
Dr. Shackleford, who said Mr. McKay
was an old resident of The Dalles'forty
years ago, and was among the first boat
builders on the river. He yet owns
property in this city, and the purpose of
his trip at the present time is to make
some improvements. Among them will
be a gravel roof for tbe Clarendon res
taurant. Here the incorrigible colonel
again interposed and said Mr. McKay
purposed to erect a new brick block
where Cross' grocery store is, but the
reporter fled, bis last glance resting on
the colonel's old friend raising both
hand's in speechless expostulation.

DECIDEDLY BLUE OUTLOOK.
AH Further A pproprlatlons for the Looks
to Pay for Work Done.
Messrs. A. S. Mac Allister, Judge
Bradsbaw and Capt. Gray of Astoria
called on Capt. Fisk Friday at bis office
in Portland. Capt. Fisk, as is well
known, is engineer in charge, and tbe
gentlemen being interested in tbe pres
ent status of the locks and its develop
ment, desired what information was at
band from this source. In answer to
the question as to what tbe engineer
proposed to do in regard .to the $20,C00
appropriation, which passed both housee
of congress, Mr. fisk said:
"We have had no official notification
that this appropriation has been made,
and know of it only from newspaper re
ports. But granting the appropriation
has passed, the fact remains that there
is no money in the fund upon which it
was drawn. Again, if there was, it has
already been earned by the contractors
and must be used to pay them for work
already done. Consequently, I do not
believe that appropriation can amount
to anything, viewed in the most favor
able light. For the same reason the new
appropriation of $179,000 from the ap
propriation bill, cannot be used for pur
poses of further improvement, and the
greater portion of it, anyway, must go
to the Messrs. Day for work they have
already done. I am in hopes that
enough of it cm be saved to construct a
wall 12 feet high, to allow the passage of
boats during all ordinary stages of high
water, but nothing can be assured in
this regard." .
Still seeking for friendly or hopetul
expression on the part of,Mr. rit-k, he
was asked if he had any idea as to when
work could be resumed on the locks.
"There is no appropriation," mused
the engineer, "of whatever nature at
present, except the $20,000 for which
there are no funds. Then another fact
which wonld make it still more indefi
nite is that of the coming high water.
That is, if there were sufficient appro
priations, there are many contingents
to overcome in the way of new contracts,
which must be entered into before any j
further work can be done."
Mr. Fisk's views are corroborated by
a recent conversation between Mr. Day
and Messrs. Bradshaw and Lord of this
city. These gentlemen understood Mr.
Day to claim that there is a sum due
him lor work done amounting to
$200,000.
There is no work being done at present
whatever. Many families hae moved
or are moving away, and the locks are at
a standstill.

Warren Walters applied to Justice
Davis today for warrants of arrest for

taurant some time since next to tbe
Mountaineer office. They were both
young and seemed devoted to each other,
and their domestic relations were
further happily cemented by a bright
baby boy. One day Walters wanted a
cook and hired one William Landes.
After a time there- seemed to be an un
due familiarity existing between Landes
and Mrs. Walters, and shortly afterward
on a warrant if search the two were
found occupying a room in tbe Cosmo
politan hotel. Officer Blakeney gave
Landes five minutes time to leave town
and be improved the opportunity. He
got on board a scow and floated down
the river, getting off at Hood River.
This was about March let. Walters
took the child and went to the Yakima
country. Her father, who lives in Calif
ornia, was then informed of the matter,
and he sent a check to pay for car fare
for his daughter from The Dalles to
where he lived. But it never reached
her. A week after Landes had been
ejected from tbe hotel the two met
again at Hood River. She went with
him to Portland, and, report says, put
her in a house of ill fame, be living off
her earnings.
. Walters again reappeared in the city
today and issued warrants for the arrest
of tbe guilty pair. The sheriff took tbe
2:30 train for Portland to get them.
Another Road Improvement.
The court and county commissioners
believe in good county roads. The new
grade as surveyed on 3-Mile hill was
estimated yesterday by Judge Blakeley
and Commissioner Darnielle to be five
inches to the rod, which Is an ascent so
gradual us to be scarcely appreciable,
and is about the same as level for travel
ing. The present grado is three feet to
the rod. Work will begin next Monday
and will be finished in two or three
weeks. Some grubs are to be taken out,
and hand shoveling is to be done until
the road plow cm be operated. The
road machine will then be employed,
and after the finishing touches again by
hand, another excellent county road
will be added to the lift.
