A large band of stock were brought up
from Rowland's Landing last evening
for the Columbia Packing Co.

is expected the noted evangelist, Miller,

We understand that the entire family
of William Gilmore, of Grand Dalles,
Is down with measles. These are the
only cases of the disease that we have
heard of, and there seems to be little
danger of it spreading.
The first load of wool of this season
arrived in town -this afternoon and
unloaded at Moody's warehouse. This
freight team is the forerunner of hun
dreds of others which will soon be slowly
wending in from the country south of
here for 150 miles.
a cattie-nuyer, woo recently made a
trip through Harnev county, says there
are plenty of cattle in that county, but
no sellers, as the stockmen ' are waiting
for higher prices. One buyer had au
tbority to pay $18 for year'ings, but was
not able to get any at that price.
The river ha9 been on a standstill for
several weeics ana little rise can be ex
pected while tbe present cool weather
continues. Little snow has melted in
tbe mountains eo far this spring, and a
few weeks warm weather would bring
the water up at an alarming rate.
A number of new residences will.in all
probability, be constructed in this city
during the coming spring and summer.
Judge Bennett is making preparations
to begin the construction of a new resi
dence on his lot near Mill creek, on
Fourth street, while a number of others
are thinking strongly of commencing in
a short time.
Tomorrow evening the second matcL

past, returned this morning after hav
ing been to Astoria, Portland, Oregon
City and Pendleton. While she was
gone she instituted three lodges, each
having a charter membership of be
tween forty and 'fifty members. She
states that the organization is experi
encing more rapid growth at present
than it has for years.
Last week a letter came (o Lakeview
from the East - to George Kellogg, a la
borer, who has been living in tbat vi
cinity for some time, to the effect that
an uncle of his bad died, leaving him a
big estate. At the time he received tbe
letter Kellogg was working on the street,
but when he read of bis good fortune he
dropped his shovel and concluded to
work 130 more. Kellogg is an old sheep
shearer, well known inLakecountv, and
is said to be a good fellow.

rived from Huntington for Wood Bros.,
of this city. Like all the beef that is
sold in this popular market, they are in
splendid shape.

for six years been in the employ of the
Snipes-Kinersly Drug Co., resigned his
position nun mat nrm, ana will imme
diately accept a like one in tbe drug
store of Clarke & Falk in this City.
Sheriff R. A. Sims, -of Whitman coun
ty, Wash., is in the city today. He in
forms that the grand jury which is
investigating tbe Marshall lynching, is
meeting with- verv poor success, and
there is little chance of them bringing
in an indictment against anyone.
Today the workmen are giving the
finishing touches to the beautiful new
glass front in Mays & Crowe's store.
This is a marked improvement, as it al
lows more' light to enter the store, and at
the same time furnishes display windows
second to none in the city.
Miss M. Scully, of Portland has ac
cepted a position in Pease & Mays' mil
linery department. Miss Scully is 1
lady of a great deal of. experience in this
work and she offers a line of goods to tho

Yesterday Henry Hudson, who was in
the city from Dufur', informed us tbat
tbe majority of farmers in that vicinity
have their spring sowing done and are
awaiting the results of their labors. The
ground is very dry around Dufur con
sidering the time of year, and if tbey do
not get plenty of rain between now and
June the crops may be short.
What might have been a very serious
runaway was stopped before any damage
was done this morning. Mrs. English,
who lives near the fairground, was driv
ing down tbe bill; when at a point a
short distance above the Methodist
church, the horse began to run. Mrs.
English was holding one of her children
n her lap, which prevented her from
handling the lines to any advantage.
Rev. W. H. Iliff, of Portland will be
in the city this evening and will preach
at the revival meetings which are being
held at the Methodist church. Rev.
Wood has received word from Evange
list Miller, saying that be will be in the
city and commence work with them
next Sunday.
President McKinley demands the in
dependence of Cuba and declares that
hostilities must immediately cease. A
crisis will be reached in two or three
days. In spite of all Spain's bravado
sho entertains the president's proposi
tion, and there is little- doubt tbat she
is weakening.
A number of boys and young men are
in the habit of going to different places
in this vicinity to practice shooting, and
using as targets robins, larks and other
birds, and in this manner a great num
ber of them are being destroyed. It may
be well to remind, these persons that a
fine of $5 is the penalty laid in the stat
utes for so doing, and as one-half of this
goes to tbe informant, tbey should be'
ware. '
Tickets will be put on sale for "King
Hallabah'oola II" today, and the box
office will be open on the morning of
April 8th. Tbe admission to this un
paralleled performance of home talent
will 75 cents for reserved seats, while
the general admission will he 50 cents.
It would be difficult for anyone to con
trive another way to spend this amount
and receive in retuin the pleasure that
will be afforded those who , attend this
show.
Today the city marshal has a force of
men at work repairing the cistern on
Second street near Skibbe's hotel. The
cover, which was in very poor shape, has
been removed and the plauks, on which
tbe covering rested, will be taken out
and replaced by iron stringers. Those
are not only stronger thun tbe ones used
heretofore, but have also the quality of
being lasting, so that after the job is
finished no further trouble will be ex
perienced with it.
A quiet, but pleasant, wedding . took
place at the Farmers' hotel last evening.
The contracting parties were Joel H.
Chastian and Miss Pollie Crabtree, two
of Wasco county's esteemed young peo-
pie. The ceremony was performed by
Recorder Roger B. Sinnott. . On this oc
casion he performed his first ceremony
of tbe kind, and while the knot was be
ing tied tbe younj justice's blushes were
almost as , noticeable as -those of the
bride. He performed the ceremony with,
all grace, however, and we are sure that
the knot is one which will not be.easily
unraveled.
Friday.
Tomorrow the Germania saloon will
open un ier the management of P. F.'
Fouts, who will endeavor to regain for
this saloon its former popularity.

and will put them on pasture until they
are in a condition to turn off.
Thiriy-eigbt head of beef cattle were
brought in from Camas Prairie yester

Yesterday about 5000 pounds of pulled
wool arrived at the Wasco warehouse
from different points. Some of it was
shipped in by Sherman county Bheep- ..
men, while more was brought hi by In
dians. . The Condon Globe appears this week
in an enlarged form, since tbe six-column
paper published heretofore proved un
able to hold the amount of news which
its publisher thought its patrons de

grand secretary will be preeent and a
good time is assured.' Admission, adults

goods, and also do repair work.
The board of directors and members
of the Dalles Commercial and Athletic

Mr. Albert Bettingen arrived in the
city last night with the remains of bis
father. An error was made in yester
day's issue concerning the date of the

day at 9 a. as., instead of Sunday, as we
had it. Friends of the deceased are in
vited to attend.
Senator McBride says that if he can
get bis amendment to tbe sundry civil
bill, relating to forest reserves, incor
porated into law it will release about
45,000 acres of land iu the Cascade re
serve in Oregon, which can be used for
the benefit of the schools under the land
grant of the state.
Ourboys are very slow this year in
organizing a baseball team. Dutur,
Boyd and other smaller towns through
the country have trained nines already
and are playing matched games, and
there is no reason why a town the size
of this should not have an abundance of '
Sport of, this kind.
Secretary Long is authority for the
statement that there is no truth, in the

the president's Cnban policy, and has

partment, at the same time, requesting'

ter. He left a wife and family. .
Today's bulletin says Spain's reply to
the president's demand for the libera
tion of Cuba was received, last night,
but as yet it has not been made public.
It is said to be io a defiant tone, and if
such be the case, war may result. To
day's dispatches will, in all probability,
state whether we will have war or peace.
Nothing has yet been heard of Mat
Nydgust and Swan Swaaion, the two
men who started down tbe rlwr from
this place several weeks ago ai:d whose
boat was found at White Salmon a tew .

a certainty that both men were drowned.
else they would have been heard irom
before this.

renorts from other places state that the
vibrations continued for from thirty
seconds to a' minute. Considerable
damage to property was created.
Tbe Dalles is to be congratulated on
possessing such up-to-date merchants as
Pease and Mays. The magnitude and
exquisite eleganceof their millinery die- ,
play shows bow carefully they have an
ticipated the wishes of their lady cus
tomers. That their enterprise is appre
ciated must be acknowledged by all.
Their store has been literally besieged
by the ladies since the opening of tbe
new goods.
