The Fitz-Corbett craze has struck the
small boys in real earnest. They have
secured a vacant lot in the East End
and also a pair of boxing gloves. Every
afternoon the juvenile members of this
community wend their way to the battle
grounds, where they indulge to their
hearts content in the manly art of self
defense. As soon as the gloves are
dropped by a pair of boxers they are
quickly eeized by two more aspirants
forjehampionsbip honors.

the city cemetery, are having a feast to

supply food and tobacco for their de

Styx. This custom is Deing observed
this afternoon, but we are afraid that
the roast pig, cigarettes, candies and
other articles which are placed on the
graves will do more toward helping the
Indians across the Columbia than it
will assist the celestials over the river

the Chinamen make the visits to the

Yesterday Sheriff Driver received in
formation that the person who robbed
a store in Portland the early part of tbe

the road on a train, but finding no clue

were camped along the railroad near the

were told to leave the town.

The weather east of the ' Rockies con
tinues bad, heavy, rains falling in the
section drained by the Mississippi, and
where the floods of that stream will, stop
no one can even guess. Tbe levees are
broken all along tbe river now, and as
the prospect for several feet more of
water is good, there is no telling what
the damage will be. In places the river
is now eighty miles . wide, the bottoms
being flooded from seven to twelve feet
deep.

We returned from Baker City tbia morn

friends, where we heard those old familiar
mining terms, music to onr ears, where
winze and gangue, porphyry and ser

all such things came into the conversa
tion and we are not yet of the earth.

There, was a pleasant birthday party
at Mr. C. B. Cusbing's last night, it
being a double affair given in honor of
Mies Mamie Cnshing and Mr. Charles
Clarke. The occasion was appropriately
celebrated, the young people . being as
sisted by a hoBt of their friends.
Night watch man Wiley arrested iour
Indians last night in the East End, they
being drunk and boisterous. He got
then as far as the corner of Court and
Second, when they saipped around the
Mclnerny corner, and scattered on him.
Two of them took through the alley by
Haworth's printery, with Wiley in hot
pursuit, and as they did not stop be
fired his pistol three or four times. One
of tbe eiwashes fell and was run in,
while the other was stopped at tbe end
of the alley by citizens attracted by tbe
noise of the shooting.' The third was
captured by Councilman Rose, and the
fourth was gathered in, we do not know
how. This morning they were up be
fogs Recorder Phelps, who fined them
$10 ech, for which sum they are now
duiug work for the city. ' - . - -
Soma of tbe big poplars on Second,
next to Court, have been chopped down.
They have not been in good shape since
the flood pf 1894, at which time all of
them took a lean, almost a tumble to
themselves. . They are of quick growth
and would prove a valuable shade tree
were it not for their, babit of sending
their roots, down into the sewers and
clogging them. On account of this
habit they are more of a nuisance than
anything else. '

Mr. Fred W. Wilson returned last
evening from a visit to the Hawaiian
Islands, which he made in company
with Ed Wingate. The trip over and
back and the visit there he describes, as
being exceedingly .. pleasant, and has
many kind words to say of the people
who inhabit those mid-ocean islands.
The climate he pictures as incompara
ble; . the scenery exquisite, and tbe
native inhabitants kind and hospitable.
Business at the present time is prosper
ous in Hawaii, but the outlook for the
future is uncertain. Many .of the prom
inent men in business and public ad
ministration express fear lest the pres
ent reciprocity treaty be broken, and if
it is, bard times may "come a knocking
at-the door" of Hawaii. Coffee growing
ia in its infancy as yet, and bids fair to
develope into an important and profita
ble industry. Coffee growing is about
the only business that a man with a
small capital can undertake, as it takes
money amounting to millions to start
and carry on a sugar plantation. -
The great danger which threatens the
political and commercial prosperity of
Hawaii is the great influx of Japanese
and Chinese. Ab will be noticed in yes
terday's dispatches, a clash has occurred
between the Japanese . and Hawaiian
officials over the landing of some immi
grants, and this is but a forerunner of
wnat may follow. There seems to be a
plan upon the part of Japan to secure
the islands if the United States does not
step in and take them, and preparations
are being made to that end upon tbe
part of the little brown men. .

interest on the voyage more intense.

The deep sounding: whistle of tbe
Regulator as she- rounded the point be
low town Saturday afternoon drew a
large crowd to the dock, intent on seeing
the steamer, which ia the "Pride of The
Dalles," after the renovating process
she has undergone at the Portland boat
yard. The Regulator looks as .fresh as a
rose in June, and as she steamed close
to the wharf with flags flying and her
freshly painted cabins glistening in the
sun, she made a spectacle that would
warm the heart of everyone who is In

Home From Their Journey.
Professors Cordley, Hedrick and Per
not and President Miller, of the O. A.
C, returned home the first of the week
from institute work at Hood River and
The Dalles. At each point they were
greeted by . interesting audiences, en
thusiastic in the search for information
relative to fruit culture, and with lec
tures illustrated with lantern views and
magnified representations of fruit pests
thrown on . canvas by the projecting
microscope ; their visit according to the
newspapers published in the locality
were highly appreciated and nioBt profit
able., .
' Hood River is destined to become the
great strawberry region of Oregon, no
other known locality in the state being
able to compete with it in quality, pro
ductiveness, and earlinesa of fruit.
Added to these, it has a well estab
lished good name in our western mar.
kets. It is estimated that 25,000 crates
of Clark's seedling strawberries will be
shipped from the valley thia season
Two nests of the strawberry, the leaf
spot and the root borer, have made their
appearance, but the strawberry men
seem alive to the necessity of vigilance,
and will orobably keep the pests well
in subjection. '
Tbe apple industry at Hood River is
on a firm basis, although tbe growers
feel that in the future they must re
strict themselves to a high clasa of
fruit in order to successfully compete
with regions that produce a low grade
as cheap or cheaper. High color, good
flavor, and long keeping qualities, char
acterize tbe fruit grown here, and that
these attributes are appreciated in the
markets is shown by the fact that Hood
River Newtown pippins sell for $2.50 per
box this year, an even dollar more per
box than the same variety brings as
grown in ' less favored parts of the
state. "
Speaking of The Dalles, it is not gen
erally known, but nevertheless true,
that some of the best prune and apple
orchards grown in Oregon are found in
this locality. The trees are especially
thrifty and are but little troubled with
pests if we except San Jose scale and
codling moth, both of which are being
most vifzorously combatted. A good
many peaches are grown at The Dalles,
and as a rale, pay well. The soil and
climate seem ideal for cherries, gum
mosis being unknown ; but aB yet few
cherries are grown, though undoubtedly
the openings for such orchards are good.
The Dalles bids fair to become tbe great
market gardening town of the state.
Early vegetables, tomatoeB, cucumbers,
melons and sweet corn, grow luxuriantly
and a large trade for .these products has

- Saturday Mrs. C. M. Donnell reached
the three score and tenth milestone in
life's journey, in honor of which her
daughter, Mrs. C. J. Crandall, invited a
number of friends, composed mostly of
those who have known her for years, to
spend the afternoon at tbe home of the
latter, on Sixth street ; and it was a de
lightful gathering of those who were
most congenial. Each lady had in hand
a dainty piece of embroidery or fancy
work, and while the hands were busily
occupied, tbe conversation was of a most
enjoyable character. Refreshments
