County commissioners are in session
today.
'. A trainload of cattle was stopped here
today, and the animals are being fed and
rested in the stockyards.
The first installment of money from
Dalles district echool bonds, amounting
to $13,000, has been received.
The rattle of the wheat trains is pet
ting to be an hoarly occurrence and
most cf them are doable headers.
The fishing season commences on Fri
day this fall, and this ought to be one of
the Incky things that Friday ia permitted
to furnish.
The United Artisans hold their regn-'
lar meeting tonight. As business of im
portance will come before the assembly,
all members are requested to be
present.
Mr. Frank Senfert, who has just re
turned from a trip to New York and
other Eastern cities, says the salmon
market is improving, that is, there is
more demand at present prices. He
will ship a carload every other day for
some time.
There is much complaint a boot the
piece of road between the top of the
brewery hill and the wine house. Who
ever has charge of that part of the coun
ty road should see. that it is pnt in good
shape aa nearly, all the travel to and
from the city is over it.
James McConnell, who ban been em
ployed on the night shift at the scouring
mill in Pendleton, disappeared Thurs
day night and his mother was distracted
with grief until the news came Saturday
that Master James had reached Spokane.
ine mui nanas inougm mat someimng
dreadful bad befallen the boy, and a
thorough but useless search waB made
for him.
A letter in yesterday's Oregonian says
Joe Wilson and Will Langille are among
the leaders in the struggle across the
Skaguay trail, and that they expected to
embark on lake Bennett today. While
at Hood River Sunday we heard the
statement printed yesterday that they
had returned to Juneau.
The north-bound train on the.Heppner
branch was derailed yesterday morning
about two miles south of Heppner junc
tion. The accident was caused by a
cayuse that refused to leave the track.
The cayuse was killed, but he bucked
the engine and four cars off the track
and so was triumphant, even in death.
A. Proctor was last week hoeing in
his garden, in Snohomish, when he
picked np a grayish looking pebble
which appeared to be streaked with yel
low rock. Upon examination this
proved to be yellow gold. Of course,
Mr. Proctor staked out a claim and now
holds the ground against all comers.
He says that the first bench up from
the Pilcbuck is glacial moraine, and
that upon reaching bedrock, in all prob
ability gold will be as thick ' as at
Daweon City, says the Snohomish Trib
une. The many friends of Miss Effie G.
Allen will be sorry to learn of her death,
which occurred in Vincennes, Ind., seven
weeks ago. She was taken ill of typhoid
fever and on Sept. 3d she passed away.
She had lived in and near The Dalles
from childhood until five years ago,
when she went to her grandparents in
Vincennes. She died as she had lived, a
noble Christian girl. Besides many
other relatives and friends, she leaves to
mourn her loss two brothers and three
sisters William, Walter, Nellie and
Sadie Allen and Mrs. Anna Parrott.
The mystery surrounding the shooting
affray which occurred in the People's
hotel and restaurant in Tacoma, Wednes
day night, has been cleared up. Max
Doe bell, the only surviving principal iu
the tragedy, last Sunday confessed that
he did the Bhooting. He told Dr. Mc
Cutcheon that the revolver which killed
Numa Jeaneret and severely wounded
himself was in bis own hands when
fired. Doebell said that he had taken
Jeaneret to hie room, and was there
showing him his new revolver, when the
weapon was accidentally discharged, the
bullet striking his friend in the breast.
Doebell then shot himself.
Thursday's Dally
County court is in session.
Pease & Mays have nearly completed
the addition to their buggy warehouse
on Second street. This will give them
largely increased storage room.
Katie Weburg was today admitted to
citizenship.
Wheat is coming in steadily and the
East End presents a lively appearance.
The manufacturers fair in Portland
will, undoubtedly, attract a large num
ber of visitors from this section.
Take a look at Pease & Mays grocery
window. They have a most attractive
display of dried, pickled and canned
fish.
This is just the kind of weather that
would have enabled The Dalles boys to
win the championship cup if we had
had our tournament.
Let the boy have a new suit when he
returns to school. It will only cost you
two-thirds of the regular price if bought
at Pease & Mays this week.
Now is the time to buy real estate in
The Dalles. It is as low now as it can
ever get and is bound to go higher.
This is the way great fortunes are made.
The county court is busy today con
sidering bills against tbe county. There
are several important matters yet to be
decided, which will be taken up after
the bills are disposed of. -
Wasco and Sherman counties should
bold a "Harvest Home" festival. This
is a custo.u long established in older
countries and is always made a happy
event. In the midst of our plenty there
should be some occasion for thanksgiv
ing and a "Harvest Home" could be
made to express our feelings of gratitude
end satisfaction. All it needs is some
One to start it.
Arrangements have been made for the
remodling of the Commercial Clnb
building and it is expected work will be
begun in a few days. Extensive alter
ations will be made and when com
pleted the club will have quarters as
fine as any in the state.
Tli scaffolding for tbe steeple of the
new Cuiholic church gives an idea of the
height which tbe top will be from the
ground. The steeple can be seen from
every portion of the city, and is a grace
ful ornament to an exceedingly hand
some building. The Dalles has done
well this year in the matter of new
churches, as the Lutheran society have
their new building well under way, and
when finished it will be a credit to the
town.
It is1 expected work will be begun
shortly on the new railroad bridge across
Mill creek. The pile driver is now
busy on another portion of the road and
when through there it will be moved to
The Dalles. The railroad company is
making many improvements along the
line, none of which are more needed
than tbe replacing of the old Mill creek
bridge by a new one. The bridge at
Cbenoweth has been filled in with dirt
and rock till it is as substantial as any
part of the road.
Here is a Sherman county farmer
whom the Observer believes has solved
the problem "How to be prosperous :"
"Last week one day the Observer man
visited threshers east of Moro and spent
a couple of hours at the farm of Robert
Newton. Mr. N. is a model farmer. He
has corn that goes twenty bushel per
acre; 5000 sacks of wheat; artichokes,
millit, rape, alfalfa, sandovich freze,
sperry, sugar -beets, turnips, squashes,
onions, melons, etc., in profusion. Mrs.
Newton is proud of her Jersey cow,
which produces lots of rich butter.
A vigorous effort is being made on the
part of the directors of the district fair
association to bo'd a successful meeting
here next month. This is as it should
be. The Dalles has let a Fourth of Jaly
celebration and the firemen's tourna
ment (not through any effort of its own
however) slip through, and now is the
chance to even up by holding a rousing
fair meeting. This is the year of al!
others to hold it in. We have bad a
big crop and a good price ; tbe farmers
are lifting mortgages and getting out of
debt in a way to make everyone feel
good ; business men are enjoying a good
trade, and expect to do tbe largest busi
ness this fall they have ever done. We
have had our touch of bad weather and
can expect to be better treated in this
regard from now on. With these con
siderations in view, it is eminently
proper that our citizens make an effort
to have a fair this year which will
eclipse all previous attempts.
Friday'sDaily.
Tbe Dalles City brought up forty tons
of lreight last evening.
The Hood River horticultural fair
takes place on tbe 5th of October.
The county jail has five occupants
awaiting the action of the grand jury.
Thos. Haslam is moving into the
Cram house, on Fourth street, recently
purchased by Mr. Haslam.
Wheat is still on the rise and sells
here today at 80 centB. It closed yes
terday in the local market at 78 cents.
This fine weather is a great Incentive
to buggy riding, and many turnouts are
seen upon our streets every evening.
The warehouses are getting very little
rest this year. No sooner is the wool
gone before they begin filling np with
wheat. Some wbeat is being stored, but
tbe most is bought outright, the price
being too tempting to allow of much
delay.-
Patents were recorded in tbe county
clerk's office today from tbe United
States to R. D. Pitcher and Victor Ward.
Tbe Dalles City, too'i a load of wool
down this morning. But little wool re
mains to be shipped, and all that is here
is sold.
The fishing season began at midnight,
and wheels and nta are ready to cap
ture the festive salmon, if they will only
put in appearance.
The reports from the grain fields of
the Palouse country are more reassuring,
and the bright weather has raised the
hopes of the farmers.
The frame for the new residence of
Prof. Gavin on Union street is in place
and the outline indicates the residence
will be a very pretty one.
County court has finished its labors
and adjonrned. There are some routine
matters left, which Judge Mays has yet
to adjust, but tbe commissioners' work
is over.
Tbe change in the O. R. & N. local
agency is being made today and aa soon
as the transfer is made, Mr. Ireland will
assume the position. He arrived in tbe
city this morning.
The teachers of the public schools
met this morning and classified the
pupils for the coming year. A number
of new scholars have already appeared
for enrollment and the prospects are
bright for a large enrollment.
Work on the foundation for the new
house of Judge Blakeley is progressing
rapidly, and the frame will soon be be
gan. When completed this residence
wHl be another ornament to a very
pretty part of (own.
Wheat at eighty cents is going to
knock the smithereens out of tbe Popu
lists. Farmers are too busy making
money to give much attention ty tbe
argument of how tbe gold standard is
grinding the face of the poor. .
. An attempt will probably be made
pext week to raise some additional
money for the fair. The state appro
priates liberally, but- if our business
men will make an additional contribu
tion, the meeting cannot help being a
success.
Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Keeves, who con
ducted the Mt. Hood Hotel at Hood
River for some time, have moved to
Baker City and taken charge of the
Hotel Sagamore. Those who made the
trip to Cloud Cap Inn last summer and
stopped at Hood River on the journey,
will remember Mr. and Mrs. Reeves
pleasantly.
The Baldwin opera house was crowd
ed last night at the entertainment given
by the Nitrogen Medicine Co. Some of
the specialties were very good, the fire
eating act being especially creditable.
The management say the troupe will
give a better show tonight than it did
last evening, and the entertainment will
undoubtedly be worth attending.
Undoubtedly more money is received
in The Dalles for the shipment of raw
materials than in any city in the state,
and yet we buy all our manufactured
materials. There is a lethargy some
where which must be dispelled before
we can pat one another on tbe back
and say we are any good. . The time
will come when The Dalles will regret
her past inertia and that time is nearly,
if not quite here, now.
Some of those interested in bowling
are seeking to arrange a contest between'
the Commercial Club and an out side
team. If the negotiations now under
way are carried out, a tournament of five
nights will be conducted. Two nights
will be played on the Commercial Clnb
alleys and two nights on tbe Umatilla
House alleys, tbe alley for the fifth,
night to be decided by a toss up. Four
games will be played each evening, mak
ing twenty games in all. Tbe club that
loses will be compelled to set up a sup
per for all tbe players. Such a contest
would undoubtedly create great interest
and be the cause of much merriment.
Taxpayers, Attention.
This is my last and final call to you,
as the cbnnty court has issued an im
perative order.
By virtue of a warrant to me directed,
issued, by tbe clerk of the county court'
of the state of Oregon for the county of
Wasco, commanding me to collect the
delinquent, . county, state and other
taxes, I will, on the 1st day of October,
1897, without further notice, levy upon
and sell all property upon which taxes,
remain unpaid. T. J. Dbiveb,
Sheriff. .
The board of equalization- will meet
the first Monday in October, at which,
time' all who are dissatisfied with their
assessment, will be given the opportun
ity to correct any error. sT-d&wtf.
.Now is the best time to order yonr
roses. They are now in full bloom, and
you can take your choice at tbe Stubling
Greenhouse. Also winter blooming
plants very cheap. e6-1w
