The Dalles Commission Co. are ship

River, and report very good retnrns for
them.
Wild geese seem to be quite plentiful
up the river this fall, a large numbers
of them are being sent down to the mar
kets daily. .
Bert Bagley went to White Salmon
yesterday morning, and returned on the
boat in the evening, bringing with him
one of Mr. Warner's fine Jersey cows.
Miss Lottie Tillotson, a very fine elo
cutionist and Delsarte teacher, will give
an entertainment Monday evening at
the Methodist church. Music, by the
best talent in the city.
The cross on the Catholic cbnrcb,
which was so badly bent by the wind a
few days ago, was. taken down today,
and a new one will be put in its place
which will stand the winds of a century.
The improvements on the Rockland
road, as well as the free ferryage is al
ready bearing good fruit, as may be seen
by the marked increase in the number
of grain teams that come across from
the other side daily.
The cloudy .threatening weather baa at
laBt done its duty by bringing as pleas
ant showers, which certainly are what
we need most. Rain at present will
cause grass and fall grain to come up, as
well as improve the rough, dusty roads
so that the crop can be hauled . more
easily.
The United Brethern conference will
be held at Dufur the next four days,
ending Sunday night. About thirty
delegates are at present in the city and
are going to Dufur this afternoon. 'They
are principally from the western' part of
the state ; however, a few belong to the
eastern division.
Mr. Robert Richardson, who recently
returned from a trip to Canada, was in
the city last night. He reports times
equally as good, if not Letter, in that
section of the continent as they are here.
In spite of that fact, however, he has re
turned and is living on his old home in
Klickitat county. . ;
' A monument to Robert Lewis Steven
son, was unveiled at San Francisco on
Monday. - Addresses were delivered by
Irving M. Scott and Bruce Porter, the
artist. Mayor Phelan then accepted
the monument on behalf of the city, and
read from "The Wrecker" Stevenson's
description of San Francisco,
In a very short time the club rooms
will be once more ready for use. Two of
the four alleys are already down, the
doors are nearly all in, the plastering up
stairs is about finished and the outside
i
PEASE
is painted, so that little remains to be
done before the members will have the
finest set of rooms in the state.
Printz & Nitechke, one of the leading,
and at the same time the oldest furni
ture establishments in the city, are. clos
ing out, and are selling their goods at
cost. Whether or not those gentlemen
intend remaining out of business, or if
they contemplate catering to some other
line of trade, we are unable to say.'
' Eighteen carloads of sheep, which
were bought by J. B. Kerr from George
Young, will be shipped East tonight.
They are all last spring's lambs of the
Shropshire variety, and as they are feed
ers he will take them to- Nebraska,
where they will be turned out to pasture,
and after they are in good shape he will
take them on to Eastern markets.
Fred D. Hill returned from a' tour of
Sherman county last night. . He says
that Sherman county is the personifica
tion of good times. About 300 teams
are coming into Wasco daily with
wheat, and at times the hotels and res
taurants cannot accommodate all their
guests. He also states that a number of
new buildings are under course of erec
tion, amongst them being a new jewelry
store which Charles Stone is building.
In Marshfield Monday afternoon, ex
Judge J. H. Nosier, accompanied by his
wife and daughteHand his son Bird's
wife and baby, while , driving from
Mickle Point tq Coquille City, met with
a terrible accident- They had reached a
point about half way, and were driving
around a high, 'rocky point when they
met another team. The Judge attempt
ed to back bis team 'to the side of the
road to allow the other rig to pass by,'
but the horses became frightened and
unmanageable and backed off the grade,
a distance of about thirty-five feet be
low. Mrs. Noaler was instantly killed
and the Judge's life is despaired of. The
other ladies are also seriously '' bruised.
One of the horses was killed and the
buggy wrecked..
The hop situation in the Silverton dis
trict remains -unchanged. There are
practically no buyers in the field. The
market seems to be in a' peculiar condi
tion. The growers show a disposition
to bold, and the buyers are also holding
back.' The baling is now all finished,
and quite a lot of hops are stored at the
different warehouses. So far, we have
not heard of a single hop sale in the vi
cinity. Scarcely any offers have been
made either by buyers or . growers.
From the best information from the hop
markets of the world, brewers eeem to
be wall stocked for six months at least,
and it is likely that it will be some time
before a general market opens. The
backward market keeps a large1 amount
of money out of circulation.
Linn Matteson,"-a young man well
known in the vicinity of Heppner, was
arrested Monday on a charge of larceny.
Matteson had been in the employ of
Andy Tillard and Asa Thompson for
some time past. A short time ago the
owners noticed a contraction in their
band of sheep for which they could not
account. They began to investigate the
matter and a search of the country re
vealed the fact that the Bheep had been i
disposed of in Baker county. .A war-'
rant was issued for Matteson and he is
now in the hands of the sheriff. The
sheep " were supposed ' to have been
separated from tho original bands in
Grant county, but the young man hav
ing returned to this county, was taken
in custody on Tillard's ranch on Butter
Creek. The accused will probably be

tried in Baker county, where the sheep
are suppesed to have been disposed of.
Thursday's Dally.
Today there was a grand opening at
the Phelps bowling alley. Quite a nam
ber attended and had a very enjoyable
time. The opening was for ladies and
their escorts.
Three hundred head of . beef cattle
from the Prineville countrv are being
brought fn today, and after being
weighed will be shipped to the Union
Meat Co. at Troutdale.
Mrs. Rose Ann, wife of Henry Buxton,
of Forest Grove, died of a decline of the
nervous forces, at her home in that
place .Monday afternoon, at the age of
sixty-six years). The deceased was one
of the pioneers of Washington county,
Oregon, having came to this state in
1844.
The rains, which commenced yester
day morning, kept up during the day
and part of the night, and from indica
tions this forenoon, it is not all over yet.
Farmers are jubilant, for they will now
have not only abundant graes to pas
tar their stock, but also a fine prospect
for fall sowing, which this rain will
bring up immediately. .
About this time last year the hold
ups commenced, and, judging from the
robbery that occurred last . night, there
is going to be a repetition of last year's
outrages this winter. Considering that
parts of our city are so dark that per
sons can scarcely see their way through
after" 6 o'clock, it would be little wonder
if robberies were perpetrated and offi
cers could not find clew to tho perpetra
tors. What we want is a complete sys
tem of street lights, and wo- already
have that should the council ee fit to
have' them brought into use. It does
not seem credible that when such towns
as Chehalis can afford arc lights, The
Dalles cannot, and the sooner we have
them, the better it will be for the City
and the community at large.' '
Last week a meeting of the members
of the circulating library was held- at
the home of Mrs. Chas. Hilton, when
Mrs. W. Mansfield, (nee Owen) kindly
offered to donate the books now in the
library if they saw fit to start a public
library in the city, at the same time
speaking of the great benefit which may
be derived from such an institution.
Appreciating the generous offer, ''and
thinking very favorably of the proposi
tion, a meeting was held at the home
of Mies Michell last evening to perfect
arrangements. It was decided to accept
the library, and at the eame time the
kindness of Messrs. Blakeley & Hough
ton in giving them space in their drug
store where the library may be kept un
til better quarters can be obtained. ' No
membership fee will be charged, but
25 cents a month dues, with which new
books will be purchased.
A few hours before darkness set in
Mondsy, Agent Harper, of the Umatilla
reservation, and a number of Indian po
lice, armed with firearms, with threats
of violence, it is alleged, if their, com
mands were not obeyed; evicted the
family of Duncan Mclntyre from a house
occupied by them on the Julious St.
Dennis estate, on the reservation, and
huddled the belongings of the family,
out of ' doors. While proceeding with
the' work,' Polieceman Cristb, it is" said,
thrust the point of a gun against the
breast of William Musgrove, and Agent
Harper at the eame time reached down
to his hip pocket for his gun.. The cause
of the action cannot be learned and the
outcome is hard to conjecture. ? - The

family ero.evrctea'wa8vTeased''by"TMa't

The funeral of the late N. B. Sinnott
will take place from the family residence
at 2:00 Sunday afternoon. Friends cf
the family are invited to attend. : -'
Whitman county won the Dodson enp

general district display. Lewiston,
Idaho, was awarded second place, and

Last night the remains of Col. Sinnott
were brought up on the 6:00 o'clock
train. Mrs. Sinnot and Iter three chf
dren, Mrs. Fish, Nicholas .and , Roger-,
and Mr. Sinnoit's brother, Mr. P. Sinnott
and wife, came up on the same train.
The Trade Register has compiled a
series of interesting tables from the re
ports of the !u read of statistics, show
ing that the exports of cattle and hog
products from ruget Hound ( lacoma
and Seattle) have increased in the last
year to $72,088.
Nothing, definite has yet been foond
out concerning the parties who robbed
the Regulator. ; We understand that an
attempt was made to sell the articles up
town, but as they' did not succeed in
this, the supposition is that thev took
the boat and dropped down the river
Earl Blin, stock inspector for Grant
county, was in Long Creek Monday from
Monument where he had been inspect
ing sheep and cattle. He said he had
found considerable "scab" among the
sheep, especially in this eection of the
county, but in most instances the sheep
have been dipped, and that, together
with the seasonable weather, will most
likely relieve them of the disease.
The first storm of the season broke
over Aetoria and vicinity Wednesday
morning, the wind reaching, a velocity
of 70 miles per hour at the bar. . So far,
there has been but little rain ; but .50
of an inch having fallen during the 24
hours ending at 5:00 p. m. - The light
house tender Manzanita, which was to
have started out with supplies for Tilla
mook Rock and to do buoy work in Till
amook Bay, remained in port.
In speaking of the 29th anniversary of
the Workmen ' in yesterday's edition
an error was made and it was put Wood
men. Who is accountable for this error
we do not know, but at any rate the
Degree of Honor and Workmen have
not called off the entertainment that they
and their friends are to.have next Wed
nesday night on account of the mistake,
neither will it mar the pleasm eof the
entertainment.
An unusually large number of build
ings are being constructed at present.
Mr. Barzee and Mr. Chas. Adams are
putting up two new residences on the
hill.. Two new churches and a half
dozen or more residences are under course
of construction down town.- On account
of this carpenters as well as lumber are
very hard to get. This is indeed en
couraging and goes to indicate that The
Dalles is on the verge of a genuine boom.
Not for many years have sheep - been
in so great demand in Eastern Oregon
as now. The Fossil Journal says that
borne and outside buyers are offering
fancy prices, generally in vain. "Win
nipeg", Wright and his sons, Jim and
Bert, are trying to purchase 20,000 bead
in Gillam and surrounding counties, and
so far they have met with poor success.
A few days ago Jim Wright purchased
3,000 bead of seven-year-old ewes from
Nat Webb, near Lone Rock, for which
he payed $2.10 per head. That is a big
price for old ewes.
Monday about noon a man entered the
sheriff's office in Pendleton to report
the loss of $85 from misplaced confi
dence. He gave his name as A. P.
Noren and said he was accompanied by
a man named Shuttlewood, whom he
had been more or less associated with
for five years past, and always consid
ered him honest. ' They had just arrived
in Pendleton, from Boise City, on their
way to Seattle, and went into a saloon
Monday - morning for refreshment9.
Shuttlewcol complained of being sick
and went out the back door only to dis
appear permanently.' Noren's sorrow
resulted not so much from his partner's
peculiar disappearance as the fact that
he carried $8o of Neron'a money, which
hid been entrusted to his care.
A dispatch from Oregon City says:
'Charles B. Moore, the new register of
the land office here, came down from
Salem this morning, duly qualified to
take possession of the office. On account
of the inconvenience that would be
caused by making out reports for frac
tions of a week, however, he concluded
not to enter upon the discharge of his
duties as register until the beginning of
next week. He returned to Salem and
will busy himself with preparations for
moving Lis family to this city. Satur
day he will receipt for the property of
the register's office, and begin his ser
vice with the beginning of the new week.
Mr. Moores has leased the residence- of
Judge T. A. McBride for a year, the
McBrides having moved to Astoria."

OREGON PRESS "ASSOCIATION.
A Pleasant -.Meeting; at Bahrr City, and
' a Visit to the Gold Mines. -
The Oregon Press Association held its
eleventh annual session at Baker City
on the 15th, 16th and 17th. and a more
pleasant and profitable meeting has not
been held for some time. The president,
A. W. Patterson, being absent, Vice
President Gault occupied the chair, with
A. Tozier as secretary. The business
meetings were interesting, and it seemed
that each member was anxious that tbe
association ' be imbued with new zeal.
Having" this" . in view, a president was
chosen for the coming year whom all
felt, was the very -man to gush forward
this work G.. B. Small, of tbe Baker
City Democrat with D. M. C. Gault as
first vice, J, S. Stewart second vice,
Albert Tozier secretary, Chas. Nickell
treasurer, George HImes historian, and
A. W. Patterson eergeant-at-arms. An
invitation Irom the Washington Press
Association to meet with them in joint
session at bpokane next year, was ac
cepted. ''
Certainly every member of tbe aesoci
ation feels that have been permitted to
spend three days in a veritable Klon
dike, with none of the difficulties of a
Chilcoot pass, for . he who visits the
thriving city of Baker finds citizens and
friends who would smooth even the ter
rors of a Chilcoot. It was a great treat
to meet in this city at its most prosper
ous time, for indeed it is booming, with.
more than a hundred buildings now in
course of construction, and scarcely a
building to be had. However, none
were surprised at its growth when they
were driven to the different mines and
saw now the surrounding country is
overflowing with gold.
At a reception held at the opera houee
Friday afternoon J. N. R. Bell delivered
a very cordial address of welcome, .which
was responded to by Rev. Fisher, of the
Christian Advocate, and some fine music
was rendered. After a -business meet
ing held later tbe visitors were invited
to attend a ball in the evening, which
proved a very enjoyable event.
Early next morning, through the
courtesy of the Sumpter Valley Railway
Company, the wonderful - little berg,
Sumpter, which has sprung in a few
months from nothing-to a lively town,
lighted by electric lights, was visited.
After enjoying the hospitality of these
kind people, all were driven to the E. &
E. mine and taken through the mill
there, and then to the Columbia, where
candles were provided and the visitors
permitted to go through the tunnels.. It
gives one a strange feeling to be groping
his way through the darkness, here and
there encountering men who, with pick
and Bhovel, are digging out tbe precious
quartz. It is quite impossible for one
who -is not a miner to deecribe a trip
fhrough mines, and as much has been
said of this sort of thing in The Chroni
cle previously, it is unnecessary. How
ever, it was impossible for anv one to
receive such kindly explanations with
out going away with a better under
standing and a feeling of wonder that a
knight of the pen should be even per

Is the most
Wagon on the Market.
It is not as cheap as some others, but is better than all
others. This is a broad assertion, but examine the wagon -and
you will agree with us. It is constructed from carefully ..
selected material, and it is the aim of the manufacturers to
make th$ best Wagon on the market.
It has more improvements and points of superiority
than we can enumerate here. If you are thinking of getting
a new Wagon, examine the " EUSHFORD " before buying-

mitted to gaze upon such wealth. .
Returning to Baker City, another very
interesting meeting was held, closing
with election of officers. In the evening
a grand banquet was given at the War
shauer hotel, which was indeed an en
joyable affair. Nothing was lacking in
the line of eatables, which were served
in grand style, and the toasts and musi
cal program were of the very best. .Be
side music by the orchestra, Mr. Tiche
nor of Baker City, in his fine baritone
voice, gave two selections, and Mrs, .
Dellinger of Astoria favored the guests
with a beautiful solo and responded to
an encore.
On Sunday morning vehicles, 'were
provided and the party conveyed to the
Flagstaff mine, about six miles from
Baker. This mine is owned by a com
pany in Paris, which has spent $95,000
in developing and getting it in its pres
ent running order.. Mr. Em house, a
very genial French gentleman, is mana
ger, and Mr. Reynolds supeiintendent.
Here also was, met Mr. H. B. Morse,
formerly of this city, who is fortunate
enough to hold the position of book
keeper, and Harry is more than pleased
with the place. , Light refresl ments
were served in tbe dining headquarters, '
when all were taken through tbe works,
and many were brave enough to explore
further, and climbing into tbe cage, were
taken down into the mine, where, with
candles in their hands, they explored :
every nook and corner.
After seeing- everything here, most of -the
party went over to the famous Vir
tue mine near by, where i also the
Consolidated Virginia. Seemingly'
aware of tbe fact that newspaper people
seldom are fortunate enough to enjoy a
square meal, the dining quarters of each
of these mines vied with each other in
serving, dinner to their guests, part eat
ing at one place and the remainder at
the other. . Some at both. Contrary to
their expectation of making a dinner on -beaus,
bacon, etc., every delicacy, to be .
found in the city was served, and Mr.
Ferguson, superintendent of the Con.
Virginia, was many times asked how it
was possible to give such a spread in a -mining
camp.
At the Virtue one can . form a much
better idea of the whole proces', and as "
pains were taken to explain everything,
it was intensely - interesting; to go
through. Many were disappointed at
missing the opportunity of going down
800 feet into the .mine, which was im
pjssible on account of some trouble with
the machinery.
. Here was "met Mr. Virtue, the first ;
owner of the Virtue mine, who still has
an interest in it, and although not in
the best of health, he was untiring in .
his efforts to entertain. Indeed, it is .
seldom (one meets with Buch genuine
hospitality as was extended trom everv
quarter on this trip, and after the final
meeting Monday morning, all lett Bauer .
City feeling that they bad discovered
pure gold not alone in the mountains
surrounding the city, but also in the
hearts of her citizens. 1 .
