more in sight.

In the Susanville mining district
everytning is stirring since the enow
has begun to melt. . Proprietors of
. placer mines are getting everything in
readiness to take advantage of the early

pected.. The I. O. O. F. boys bad a very enjoy
able meeting last night. They received

tions for initiation were handed in. A
'committee was appointed to prepare
an entertainment for next Friday night,
and they are sure of success with Adolph
Phirman as N. G., and J. H. Blakeney
as V, G.
Yesterday the river came to a stand
still, and during the night it fell about
eighteen inches. Last night the steamer
Dalles City landed further np than
usual, and this morning her bow was
stuck fast in the mud, so that it was
with difficulty that the boat was backed
off the sand into which it had settled.
A movement is at present on foot to re
pair Union street from the railroad track
to the cnt. This is a commendable move
and should be encouraged by the prop
erty owners. It will take but a trivial
sum from each property owner along
this street to put in fine shape and it
would prove a -good investment in the
end.

edge. ,
A telegram to the Oregonian yesterday
from Chehalis says: "No. 205, the
South Bend passenger and freight train,
this afternoon ran into a freight train in
the yard here. No one was hurt, but
the passengers were severely shaken np.
Both engines will need repairing before
they can be need again. A couple of
box cars were smashed. It cannot be
determined who is to blame for the ac
cident. A lively runaway occurred yesterday
afternoon. George Kellar's horse, which
was hitched to a meat cart, started
down Second street from the East End
t a lively rate and attempted to take a
short cut over the cement walk at the
corner of French's bank. In crossing
his feet slipped and he fell, causing a
general mix-up. The horse was on
hitched as soon as possible and the
wreck cleared. The cart was badly
broken, bat otherwise no injury was
done, the driver being off the wagon
when the horse started.
Monday's Daily.
Born In Portland this morning, Feb
ruary 21st, to Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Cram,
formerly of this city, a son. "

The river still continues to drop at a
lively rate, and in a short tune it will be
back to its normal low water mark. In
all probability there will be no rise of
any importance until the time for the
spring freshet. Its going down greatly
relieves the miuds of those who had
large quantities of cord wood piled along
the beach, as they had fears for a time
that if the river continued to rise as it
did for last week, their wood would be
washed away.
A report was circulated Saturday that
Henry Boyen, who went to Alaska sev-l
eral months ago, was among the passen
gers who were drowned on the ill-fated
Clara Nevada. It is said that be was
not favorably impressed with the Arctic
climate, and intended returning home;
but there is no reason to believe that he
took passage on the Clara Nevada, and
nothing, as far as we could learn, to
confirm the report, as it is not yet
known who took passage on that boat.
A large concourse of people lined the
streets this afternoon to view the school
c'aildren as they paraded from the
school buildings to the Vogt opera house
to hold their exercises in honor fit the
birthday of the father of their country
George Washington. The procession
consisted of over 700 children from the
different grades, accompanied by their
teachers, and a finer collection of patri
otic pupils would be bard to find.
John J. Marshall, of the firm of Mar
shall Bros, of Goldendale, died at his
home in that city at midnight Friday,
after a week's illness, of pneumonia.
Mr. Marshall was born in Montana,
June 14, 1864. A few months later tbe
Marshall familv moved to Oakland, Or.,
where in 1865 Charles N. Marshall,
father of deceased, died. Tbe family
moved to Klickitat county in 1879. He
was insured for $1000 in tte order of the
Knights of Maccabees, being a charter
member of the Goldandale lodge. He
was also a member of the K. of P. and
O. O. F. lodges. He leaves a wife and
two small children.
At present a motion is on foot to
build a railroad from Tbe Dalles up 6
Mile creek, by Floyd's place and across
the Deschutes at about two or three
miles above its mouth, which will con
nect with the Columhia Southern at a
point above Biggs. A branch line will
also be built, up 15-Mile creek to Dufur.
The names of E. E. Lytle, D. C. O'Eiley
and other officials of the Columbia
Southern are connected with tbe same.
A great deal 'depends on the support
which The Dalles gives to such a project
ai to whether or not it will be success
ful. This is a grand opportunity, and
should not be overlooked by our peo
ple. If they will but unite their forces
there is not a shadow .of a reason why
the project will not be successful.
Mr. F. Jobson, father of Frank Job-
son, ol the O. K. at Im. (Jo., arrived in
the city on tbe Spokane flyer this morn
ing, ana will visit bis son. Mr. Jobson
has extensive mining en teres ts in San
don, British Columbia. Mr. Jobson
savs that British Columbia is one of the
finest mining countries in the world, and
that this assertion will be proven in a
short time, wben. the country is better
developed. English syndicates are
aware of the value of the British Colum
bia mines and are buying them up as
fast as possible.- When Mr. Jobson left
Sandon, there were eight feet of snow in
that place, and a little farther' up
tnere were twelve feet. Mr. Jobson
says that it is cold enough . for him and
he has no desire to seek a more frigid
climate in Klondike.

promptly at 8 o'clock this evening, and
it is hoped that everyone will be there
promptly on time.
Nearly all of the stained class for the
windows of the new Catholic church is
in place, and it adds much to the ap
pearance of that edifice.
There are bat a limited number of
of seats unsold for tbe concert, and no
one should wait until tne last minute
to secure tickets as there may be none
left. ' -
According to arrangements the prin

hero and father, George Washington
The Willamette football team arrived
on the Dalles City last night, and they
prove to be a husky set of young fellows
and they will eertainlv put np a hard
ga'me.
We hope that onr patrons will not be
harsh in their criticisms of the paper to
day, since we have endeavored to put it
out before tbee iootball game in order
to allow the force to attend, which has
cut down the news to some extent.
A letter was received from Mies May
Enright today, statin? that a special
train wonld be run from Wasco tonight,
bringing abont 50 people down to the
old folks concert. According to this
standing room will be at a premium.

ceived coldly by the-mayor of that city
on bis arrival.
Tbe spur of tbe O. R. & N. track run
ning alongside of Wilkinson's warehouse
is about complete, and will make it very
convenient for loading wheat on tbe
cars. It has one objectionable feature,
however, that being the borrowing of
that street for teamB to a great extent,
Tbe Regulator will take those who
have tickets for the wharf ball at White
Salmon to that place this evening, and
as the people of White Salmon intend
to make it as pleasant as possible for
those in attendance, all who go may
look forward to a splendid time,

Geo. W. Johnston, one of Dufnr's lead
ing business men, is in the city today.
He reports that tbe country in that vi
cinity has all the appearances of spring.
Tbe grass is coming up nicely, the fall
wheat Is looking fine and everything
seems to indicate that another prosper
ous, year is in store for the worthy tillers
of the soil.
There are more rich gold strikes re
ported from Grant county. If this keeps
up, we shall be forced to forget the dis
tant Klondike, and be compelled to
gather the riches at our own door. - Yet
so strong is the enchantment of distance
that it will take still more of thsse rich
strikes to convince our people that they
can remain in Oregon and invest in
mines here with a better average result
than in Alaska.
So much was said about the shipping
of a team of goats from Albany to Alaska
by A. Becker, that it will be interesting
to know what became of them. B. F.
Thaver, who recently returned from
Alaska, says that Mr. Becker sold the
goats to a man who took them to Ska-
guay. He turned tbe goats out on tbe
mountain side there, and they wandered
back away from the town - in search of
food. One unlucky day some hunters
came along and, mistaking the goats for
wild game, shot and killed nearly every
one of them.
W. H. Hord, owner of the Tempest
mine, located in Oreennorn district,
Grant county, says there is an average
of six feet of snow in that vicinity, and
for twenty-six miles he had to travel on
snow shoes in coming out. On the main
roads, sleighing was excellent, but out
side of the main avenues of travel the
only means of transportation, was by tbe
snowshoe route. Tbe Tempest mine is
now a paying proposition. Fonr men
are at work, and the vein of ore has ex
paoded from four to seven feet in width.
A tunnel has been run 160 feet below
the surface, a distance of, 300 feet, and a
smelter test of tbe ore shows $22.50 in
gold, the rest in silver and copper,
amounting in all to $52.65. The ore is
shipped from the mine to Tacoma and
Eveiett for smelting.
Albert Davis Beard From.
A letter from Albert Davis, son of
Mrs. Davis of this city, was received
on tbe 18th mst.i It bears tbe date of
Dawson City, N. W. T., Jan. 20tb, so
that it came from that place in lees than
a month. It will be remembered that a
report was current that Davis and Neil
Bqger were drowned in the White Horse
rapids, and tbe receiving of this letter
proves how groundless are most of such
reports.
He says they arrived in Dawson .City
on September 25th, and immediately on
their arrival Boyer went to work for $15
per day. ' Their trip in was comparative
ly easy, and they made, on an average,
about five miles a day on the river.
They have located claims on Henderson
creek, and have very good prospect.
However, nntil the snow melts they
will be unable to do much towards
working the claims.
The daylight lasts for about three
hours, while they have about an equal
space of twilight. According to tnis
they can work about six hours per day
without lights, and owing to the fact
that candles sell for $40 per box, this is
about all the time they get In, tor work
men cannot afford to burn candles at
this rate. Wages are from $1 to $1.25
per hour for common laborers.
He quotes a few Dawson prices, which,
are as follows : Meals $3.50 ; pies $1.50
each; sandwiches 75 cents; flour $60
per sack ; while groceries run from $1 to
$2.50 per pound. '
The thermometer has been down to 63
below, but be said at the time of writ
ing it was pleasant, being only 35 below.
They spend mnch of their time in pros
pecting, and seem to have much faith in
the mines.
The Chronicle hopes that tbey both
will be rewarded richly for their grit
and determination, and. that they will
bring back at least a barrel of nuggets.
LAID TO REST.
The Bemalns of Edith Schmidt Placed
In a Bed of Flowers.
Sunday afternoon the remains of
Miss Edith Schmidt were laid to rest in
Sunset cemetery. From the hour of
noon up to the time that the funeral
started from tbe residence, crowds of
friends of tbe deceased called to pay
last respects to the amiable and beloved
young lady.
Tbe funeral services were conducted
by Key. Curtis, of the Congregational
church, whose address was very eloquent
and touching; and the choir sang "In
Heavenly Love. Abiding,'! "Softly and
Tenderly," and "GoJ Be With You Till
We Meet Aeaii,," the title of the latter
hymn being among the last woids of the
deceased to the sorrowing family.
The pall-bearers were selected from
among tbe friends and associates of tbe
voung lady, and were Messrs. Ed. Win-
sate. Joseph Bonn, Gub Bonn, Fred
Weigel.Harry Liebe and Ralph Rowland
The funeral was a large one, the num
ber of young people present being es
pecially noticable. Tbe floral trib
utes were beautiful, as well as numer
ous; so mucb eo tnat wben tbe young
ladies who remained to arrange them
above the grave of their lost companion,
looked back to bid her a last farewell,
not a trace of the earth which covered
her was visible; but a bed of beautiful
flowers.

Resolutions on the Death of Jacob Frits
Hdqrs. Jas. W. Nesmith Post,
Whebeas, Our comrade, Jacob Fritz,
has finished' the weary march through
life ; laid aside his knapsack and wea
pons of warfare, and answered to the
bngle call from the shore beyond, where
those who havo fought a good fight re
ceive their reward, be it
Resoloed, .That as we continue the
march toward our last camping ground,
we shall miss from our side one who was
ever foremost in the ranks, facing shot
and shell bravely for the right ; and that
as we meet in council we shall look in
vain for tbe cheering, kindly smile of
our lost comrade. '
Resolved, That thongh unlike our
brave General Grant, by whose side be
marched in other days, he had not at
tained to such renown ; ' yet as he per
formed faithfully the duties of a hum
bler station, his name shall be immor
tal, for "to live in the hearts of those we
leave behind, is not to die."
Resolved, That while we shall tneet
and we. shall miss him, we do not forget
those who are compelled- hour by bonr
to see the vacant chair of one who was
not a comrade alone, but a loving hus
band and the kindest of fathers. To
these we would extend all the sympathy
which mortals can express, and com
mend them to tbe great General of the
universe. "
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of our Post,
and a copy be sent to tbe daily papers
of tbe city ; also to the family of our de
parted comrade.
'The Bowling Toarnamrnt.
Four more games of the bowling tour
nament between the Umatila House
team and the D. C. and A. C. bowlers
were ro'.led at tbe Umatilla House alleys
Saturday night, and resulted in a vie,
tory for the former team of three games
out of the four. As tbe tournament
now stands, the club boys have five
games to their credit, to their opponent's
three; while the Umatilla House boys
are slightly ahead on pins. The D. C
and A. C. bowlers did not come up to
their usual excellence in rolling, which
may be attributed to the fact that they
were not accustomed to the alleys.
The totals for the four games are as
follows :
UMATILLA. d. c. t a. c.
251 First Game 178
211 Second Game 225
241 Third Game 177
204. ...Fourth Game 186
The last eight games of the tourna
ment will be played after tne club team
returns from playing the Portland, but
the date has not been fixed as yet.
The Jubilee Meetlug rid ay Night.
A large audience greeted Bishop and
Mrs. Cranston at the "jubilee services''
Friday evening at the Methodist church
The gronnd of tbe rejoicing was the
success of the past year. Tbe repor t of
the special treasurer, Mr. Smith French,
showed that $2,054.10 had been raised
and applied on tbe indebtedness of tbe
church daring the past thirteen months.
Furthermore the running expenses are
paid in fait up to February 1st.
We feel it proper to state that owing
to tbe fact that the bishop did not arrive
until the last evening train, giving only
a few moments-for consultation, and the
extreme weariness of tbe bishop, we
were much disappointed in not having
a Thanksgiving address. This interfered
with the jubilee part of our service,
However, we feel that our meeting was.
a blessed success, and tbe work for the
next year opens grandly.

The Republican county central com
mittee met Saturday afternoon and fixed
March 26 as tbe date for holding the
primaries. The county convention will
be held on April 9. Tbe meeting was
largeiy attended by Republicans from all
parts of the county, who brought cheer
ing reports of the situation in tbe differ
ent precincts. The apportionment is
one delegate-at-large for each precinct
and one delegate for every twenty-five
votes cast for T. T. Geer for presidential
elector every fraction of thirteen or over.
This apportionment will make the con
vention the largest Republican one ever
held ip this county. Tbe meeting was
harmonious.
MATTER OF GOOD ROADS.
Special Comrrilitre Appointed
to Look
Into the Matter.
A special committee, consisting of
Emil Scbanno, Joe Peters and M. A.
Moody, has been appointed to look into
matters for the interest of our city. A
meeting was held in tbe club rooms last
night, and it was decided that since it
is almost impossible to bnild railroads
it would be of great valne to Tbe Dalles
to have the different wagon roads which
approach tbe city from various direc
tions. put in first-class shape. A plan -to
raise the money for repairing the roads
was considered, and tbe following de
cided upon:.
That each business man of The Dalles
appropriate a certain amount monthly,
in proportion to tbe extent of bis busi
ness, for four months. In this time the
amount collected would, according to
the committees figuring, sum op $2400,
and besides this amount tbe county
would be expected to lend some assist
ance. At tbe least estimate over $3UUU
could be raised in this length of time,
About ten or twelve men and a sufficient
number of teams could be kept at work
with this sum, and in four months this
amount of. labor would do much tow
ards putting the roads in first-class con
dition. This is the plan which the committees
is considering at present, and if onr
business men will lend a band in help
ing it along, it will prove a very effective
one. With their support tbe committee
can do everything towards making it a
success ; without that aid nothing can
be done in this matter.
y
