said the dnat here was four inches deep,
and we, like an ignoramus, denied it.
Today at times it was forty feet deep
and forty miles wide, in 'some places.
Mr. Rankin, the ferryman at White
Salmon, returned from Goldendale. to
day, where he had been interviewing
the county commissioners in behalf of
the settlers below the bluff, at White
Salmon, who want a public road laid out
along the foot of the bluff. ;
' Edward J. McBee made homestead
filing on Hood Eiver lands today, they
being a portion of section 4, in township
1 north of range 10 east. There is quite
a large tract of land in the. immediate
vicinity subject to homestead entry, and
as it is fine orchard land, it will soon be
taken up. ,
In the suit of Mrs. K. L. Barrill vs.
W. G. Barrill, referred at the .last No
vember term of the court to a referee to
take and report the' testimony, Judge

decree granting a divorce and the cub-
plaintiff.
The Woodmen's Circle held a social
session last night after the regular ses
sion, the latter feature being in honor of
the return of Mrs. Filloon from the su
preme lodge at St. Louis.; An address of
welcome was delivered by Mrs.' Ella

Mrs. Filloon. This was followed by
banjoand guitar music by' Mr. Parkins
and Simms', eoloi by Charles.' Clarke,
farce by members of the order and song,
"Going Back to Dixie," by the: ladies,
the program concluding with a tableau
representing the mottoes of the order,
"Love, Wisdom and Power." The ac
tion of Mrs. Filloon and the other dele
gates to the supreme lodge, leaving the
old order, was indorsed, and the lodge
will affiliate with the Pacific jurisdic
tion. . ,
An -attempted burglary last night at
A. M. Williams & Co.'s that is it
might have been, but the burglar un
doubtgdly was disappointed at finding
those nobby, all-wool suits marked
down to only $10, so cheap that stealing
them would have .been deemed an ex
travagance. ...
This morning it was reported that an
attempt to burglarize Williams & Co.'s
store had been made last night, and later
Johnston's store had been broken into.
When traced down it proved to be that
Nightwatcbman Wiley last night found
the back door at Johnston's open,. but it

been blown partly open by the wind. .
' Yesterday appropriate programs were
presented in the different departments
of The - Dalles public schools in observ
ance of Arbor day. No trees were

in . this way . being in January of the
present year, when eighteen trees were,
by order of the board, set out in the East
Hill primary grounds.
,' Mrs. Lyman Daly met with a serious
accident this morning, just how serious
cannot yet be determined. Mr. Daly
was bringing her and their two little
children to town at an early hour, they
intending to take the boat for Vancou
ver. Coming down 3-Mile hill one of
the wheels of the wagon ran into a
ditch alongside of the road, and Mrs.
Daly was thrown off the seat, falling on
the wheel. Her right lower , jaw was
badly fractured, and she received a se
vere concussion of the brain, which ren
dered her unconscious. She was brought
into town and taken to the residence of
Mr., and Mrs. J. C. Meine, where Dr.
Hollister reduced the fracture and at
tended to her other, injuries. Her con
dition is dangerous, but : she may pull
through all nght.
Nick Sinnott and "Nemo," before
they get the, matter off their hands, will
wish they had never toyed with Cissy
Sideways of Dufur. Their profusenesB
of apology to that now famous young
collective noun of the female, gender,
has .proven a case of jumping out of tne
trying pan into the fire. - It seems now
that the aforementioned gentlemen- are
in more than' a peck of trouble at
home. " When the Dispatch appeared in
The Dalles containing their "billet
doux" addressed to the "Indignant
Thirteen," it created a flury in the local
feminine-circles, and they were imme
diated accused of flirting with the young
ladies of this berg, and the next Sun
day evening were treated with such a
degree : ot eang froid, they bad an at
tack of chills and fever and made a per-
cipitate retreat. Never -mind, boys,
patch the affair up as well as you can
at home, and we'll smooth it down
here. Dufur Dispatch. ;.

ment of John Barger against O. D. Tay
lor. It was purchased by C. W. Dietzel,

' The baseball game between the Cham

Sunday morning Roderick,- the 10-
year-old son of George Brown, who
works for Mr. Saltmarshe, was playing
at the slaughter-house, near the tank
used - for scalding hogB, and which was
full of water almost boiling hot. He
slipped and fell, both legs going into the
water over the knees. In removing his
Blockings the skin and flesh peeled off
with them. Dr. Hollister attended to
his injuries, and thinks he will pull
through all right. Although suffering
terribly, the little fellow is stoical and
bears the pain without murmuring. ;

Judge Bradshaw will have quite a siege
of it, as there are forty-two cases on the
docket.
The river this morning shows con
siderable small drift, indicating that
some of the smaller , tributaries are at
their highest. It probably comes from

some of the bridges on the O. R. & N.
partly washed out.

higher; this spring than it has been for

brisk trade in their grocery department.
We refer to Pease & Mays, whp are to
day unloading five full carloads of. mer
chandise, consisting of beans, canned

School Superintendent Gilbert Writes
Something; or His Journey.
Indianapolis, Ind.. April 5, 1897.
Editor Chronicle: I arrived in this
city yesterday and learn that it will be
necessary - for me to remain here about
two weeks, during which time I will
write . occasionally, anticipating that
inrisimas you promised me on my
return. '
We left The Dalles March 20th, and
arrived at Andrews, Ind., on the 25th,
(and judging from the newspaper reports
of the storm 8 since then,' we were fortu
nate not to be delayed.
A stop-over of six hours at Denver
gave us ample time to visit Colorado's
three-niillion-dollar rew capitol build
ing, which is not fully finished inside
We visited both branches of the legisla
ture, and then went to view the other
fossils in the museum. It is said that
the Smithsonian Institute does not con
tain as complete an exhibit of all that
pertains to the cliff dwellers ai is to be
found her. . Many of your readers had
the pleasure of bearing Major Jackson,
U. S. A., lecture about these Indians,
Well, everything is to be found here as
he described, except the snake dance.
The department of minerology cannot
be excelled by any one Btate, and when
gazing upon the collection of opals one
feels an attack of kleptomania.
After leaving Denver it is pleasing to
make faster time, and from St. Louis we
took the New York expresB, next to the
fastest train in the United States.
It is needless to tell you that our stay
here will be a pleasant one. Four gen
erations are represented in the family at
present, and at a recent reunion two
hundred and fifty relatives were present.
I took 'a walk along North Delaware
street this evening, and saw the home
of ex-President Harrison, and. by the
way, that reminds me that I promised
to look after Colonel Sinnott's in
terests in Washington, D. C. I
now . feel that - be can get the
appointment of IT. S. fish commissioner
on the strength of the salmon story, of
wDicn ne is now tne only living witness.

Funeral of Pearl Batler.
The funeral of Pearl Butler took place
from the family residence Saturday morn
ing, and in compliance with her request,
made but a short time before her death,
the ceremonies were very brief. The
floral offerings were profuse and beauti
ful, the grave being covered with tbem.
Among the many beautiful pieces were
one from the Sunday ' school class to
which she belonged, another from the
graduating class of '96, of which she was
member, and one from the W. C. T.
U. Also a very pretty floral ship, wh:ch
bad been presented to Pearl when she
was graduated, and which bad been re
arranged in hyacinths.
Despite the terrible wind and dust
storm, a large uuiiiber of sorrowing
friends followed all that was mortal of
Pearl Butler' to the cemetery and saw
her placed by the side of her sister, who
so recently preceded lier into -the valley
of the shadow. The floral iia on Jes
sie's grave bad all been refilled, and as
the sad cortege turned back from the
graves, the sisters slept side, by side un
der masses of flowers, typical ot the in
nocence and purity of those beneath,
and of those flowers of the field of Ar
dath, whose white, star-like blooms for
ever kiss the feet of the children of men
who have returned to their home with
God.
Beaatlfnl Display of Bat. -.'-
That The Dalles ladies thoroughly ap
preciate fine millinery, and know where
to find it was shown by the attendance
Friday afternoon and evening at the .
grand EaBter opening at Mrs. Briggs
millinery parlors. ' It was conceied by
all that it was the finest display of the
kind-ever made in the city, and the
beautiful 'and artistic creations called
forth many expressions of admiration.'
The shapes are about the Bacne, but
larger,. and the trimmings show quite a
difference from those ot last year. They
are much more elaborate, and red leada
all other colors, the hats from the East
most distinctly showing the difference..
The windows were most beautifully dec
orated, but these were lost on the ladiea
who went there to see hats, and would
not or could not see anything else. We
don't blame the dear creatures for ad
miring them,, for alter seeing her try on
a dozen of those hats, we came, near
falling in love with our own wife. The
ladies are to be congratulated on having
so fine a selection to choose from, and
Mrs. Briggs to be commended for pro
viding it. "
There Was Some Dost.
We f owe . an apology to Mr. Hardy.
the gentleman who told the Oregon ian
there was dust in The Dalles, and also .
to the Oregonian in questioning the cor
rectness of its information in yes
terday's issue. ' Then the air was balmlv
and soft, as a summer girl, the streets aa
quiet as a Bleeping babe'. It was not
that way today. All the spirits from
the cave of the winds were out on a
jamboree, and there were whirlwinds
and whirlpools of blinding, choking,
smothering dust. It came from all points
of the compass at once, and went in all
directions at the same time, filling store
and residence with its gritty presence, -
and the air with profanity that traveled
far and fast. Yes, there is some dust in
The Dalles, and we are iree to confess
that our' statement yesterday entitles
us to the highest office in the gift ot the
Sazerac lying club.
Council Meeting;.
An adjourned session of the city coun
cil was held Saturday evening, the
mayor and all councilmen being oresent.
The ordinance taxing the Bale of
liquors by the bottle or flaa'a was read,
and the motion to place it on its final
passage was lost. On motion the fur
ther consideration of the ordinance was
indefinitely postponed. ' .
The ordinance providing for the num
bering of houses was read and action on
the same was postponed until the com
mittee on streets and public property
reported. '
The finance committee, to which had
been referred the matter of loaning city
funds reported, recommending the loan
of $2500. Also . recommended that the
claim of M. A. Moody for $53.50 be
paid.
On motio'n the recommendations ot
the committee were adopted. On mo
tion the claim of Dalles City water
works for $32, was ordered paid. -
It was. ordered that the city proceed to
sell. nil city lots in Gates' addition, ac
cording to last appraisement.
An ordinance providing for the Bale of
city lots was then read and placed on ita
final passage, and was passed by a vote
of 6 to 3.
On motion the Catholic church was al
lowed the usual privileges of the streets
for building purposes.
No further business appearing, council
adiourned.
