In a letter to a friend here, Dr. Esbel

about ready to start home and would ar
rive here this evening. He will resume
bis practice as soon as possible after his
arrival. , He states that the weather in
Chicago is quite cool, and at the time of

of sunny Oregon. "
A fine farm in the Willamette Valley,
consisting cf 160 acres, four acres in cul-
' tivation ; 70 acres slashed, burned and
seeded to timothy; plenty of good water;
200 bearing fruit trees; plenty of small
fruit;' good box house and barn;" 25
miies eastpf. Oregon City, one-half mile
from good school ; Z miles from Leon
postoffice, Clackamas county.' This
property will be sold cheap or exchanged
for farming land near The Dalles. For
farther information see Butts, the real
estate agent. ': ;
The soldiers -at Fort Spokane are
twenty-five "miles from the nearest wire,
which is at Davenport. " They are all
packed and read v to move at short
notice, and in the meantime are eager
to learn the latest war news. A lieuten
ant is sent to Davenport every day from
'the fort, and he takes with him a carrier
pigeon to carry back the news. .Through
the long-distance telephone office ! he
learns the' latest reports, ties the bulle
tin to the pigeon and turns it loose. " It
immediately flies- to the post, making
fast time. One pigeon made the Jour
ney . in thirty-five minutes. ' As ' the
birds are wild, they cannot be caught,'
and hence are shot, aud a fresh bird
sent out the next day. ;";''".
-The Western' Packing Company's j
abatoir- and. cannerv at Linnton; which

horees will soon be in fine condition for i
the slaughtering. Last year 9000 horses
All horses brought; -to the abatoir are
not killed, however. The best and most
gentle ones are selected for local use,
and a good number are shipped to the

; Since Saturday the river raised about
three feet, and this morning stands at a
fraction above the fifteen-foot mark.
No one expects to see the river go 'over
the thirty-foot maik thi summer. . ,
Yesterday at Goldendale Mr. Chae.
Hess was married to Estelle Masters.
Both are residents of that city and are
two of Goldendale's highly esteemed
young people. ' After the ceremony they
came to this citV by private conveyance
and are visiting friends here at present.
A bulletia-received this morning says
that congress will in all probability stand
firm in spite of ttie vigorous opposition
to the senate resolutions. Fears are en
tertained oy many that the sna;e may
yield. Madrid still wails in suspense
for the action ot oar government. Much
interest is taken iu the final action. ' v
Yesterday the little steamer, Annarine
of Portland, was brought up to this city
and will be used in ronnfng tbe Dalles
Kockland ferry boat. The machinery of
the old boat will be taken oat and placed
in position on the new one which is rap
idly nearing completion, and in a short
time we will have a ferry at this place
better Bmted .for the traffic and safer
than tbe one now in use. ' '
A large number of Dalles people went
fishing yesterday up Mill creek and on
Eight and Fifteen mile creeks. No large
catches of trout are reported, but the
pleasant outing was sufficient recomi
pense. even if no fish were caught. The
streams are too high at present for good
fishing. ' ; ,:
George A. Young, of Bidgeway, presi
dent bf the Oregon Sheep-Growere' As
sociation, has received a ' letter from
Captain Ormsby, forestry agent, stating
that he would ' be here about the 18th
inst. He will be accompanied by Spe
cial AgenC'Bender, and the object will
be to make some arVangements concern
ing the Cascade Beserve. They will
remain for a week or more, and during
this time desire to meet and consult
with as many sheep men' as possible, in
order that some arrangements maybe
made in regard to runnning sheep on
this range. " '
The dedication of the Zion Evangelical
Lutheran church took place yesterday
and was attended largely by people of
tbe various religious creeds in the city.
The dedication sermon, which was very
interesting and well delivered, was
preached by Bev. James F. Beates. The
officiating clergyman was Rev. M. L.
Zwizig, of Portland, assisted by Bev. A.
C. Anda, of Tacoma, and W. Edlund, of
Astoria. The music, which was very
fine, was famished by an excellent choir,
accompanied by Prof- Wm. Birgfeld.
Tbe polyglot services in the even
ing, as well as the dedication, was well
attended.
Tuesday's Daily. '
The river has practically come to a
standstill, during last night tbe raise
being about an inch. " . ' '"'
Deputy Assessor Lape has assessed in
Yakima county 128,000 head of sheep,
nearly all of which are in the vicinity of
Prbsser. " ' ; -'" ' ' '
As it is almost impossible to run the
old ferry-boat and ( take out the machin
ery at the same timei the" managers
have sent for the Hood River ferry,
which will be used until the new boat
is ready to go into service.

The iuneral of Johnnie Irvine, who
died in this city .Saturday evening, was
held at the Christian church this after
noon'. An ' appropriate sermon was
preached by tbe. ' pastor, Rev. " Boltz.
The service was largely attended by the
many friend's of ' the departed, most of
whom have' known him since he was a
child on ' his1 father's farm, near this
city. " . . ; - - ;
Charles .Neal, who 'lives near Gclden-
dale, In order to kill tbe fleas and bags
on one of bis calves, covered it with
coal oil and grease. He also concluded
to brand it at the same time." When
tbe red-hot iron' was applied for that
purpose, the oil and grease caught fire,
and before the flames could be extin
guished the animal was almost destitute
of hair. ' The calf still - lives, however,
but it is not nearly so frisky as of yore.
We understand war was declared at a
late session of congress last night, and
today everybody is in a state of suspense
until the news can be confirmed. ' A war
has been" declared for the . last few
months in our own town and It baa not
been done by congress. Butts has de
clared that be will recognize everybody
who wants to do business with him and
allow them to become independent (fi
nancially) after they have purchased
some of his real estate bargains, and he
does not nrooose to wait for anv other
. .
not people snail aeai wun nim, dqs mj
tends to pursue an honest, consistent
coarse in business matters that will in
sure fair play to all parties negotiating
with him for good, cheep "buys."
' Last evening Judge Bradshaw made
another phenomenally high score on the
club alleys. . He started out . by making
six strikes. In the ' seventh frame he
made a spare; in the eighth a strike; in
tbe ninth a spare, and ended with three
strikes. In the seventh frame he got
two pins 'with the first ball, and the
third pin rocked, but did not fall.' Had
he got the pin, he would have scored 86,
which would have given him a record
equal to any on the coast.
' It is a strange coincidence that the
battle of f-xington, tbe first engagement
in the Bevolution, was fought on the
19th day of April. Eighty-five years
later the first blood in the civil war was
shed on the same day of this same month
in the attack on the Massachusetts regi
ment in Baltimore; and again on the
19th of April, 1898, our country has
practically declared - war against that
hated nation, Spain. This will certain-;
ly have to be looked to as a memorable
date in our history.
The funeral services of Eddie John
ston took place at Odd Fellows cemetery
this morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. DeFor
est conducting tbe same. The choir,
consisting of Mrs. C. ,0. Banker, Miss
Beulah Patterson, .Messrs. Fred Snipes
and Frank French, sang "God's Ways
Are the Best" and "Little Lambs' Tbe
little white casket, which was literally
covered with beautiful flowers, was car
ried by Messrs. R. H. Lonsdale, E. M.
Williams, F. Faulkner and M. Vogt.
with whom tbe little one was a'favorite.
The O. B. & N. has a construction
train running between this place and
Umatilla, raising , and ' ballasting tbe
track in tbe sand beds along the Colum
bia. The gravel for ballasting is ob
tained near Grant station. Box cars
fitted up with bunks are used as sleep
ing quarters for the" men. 'A gentleman
connected with the survey says the Co
lumbia river" is' rising steadily near
Grant, and will soon flood the gravel
bed, so that work must be suspended or
another place chosen from which to; get
the gravel.
' Bumors were afloat today that orders
bad been issued to Company G of this
place by Governor Lord, and some ex
citement was caused by the announce'
ment. Orders have been issued, bow
ever, strictly prohibiting any member of
the guard to make public anything in'
the way of orders' received " from head
quarters, and for that reason nothing
definite could be learned. There is one
thinst almost certain, however, and that
is, that if a call is Issued to the Oregon
militia, our boys will have to go, and
we are sore they will do so with a good
will.
AT THE METHODIST CHURCH.
Continuation of the Previous Snbject
The Church the Bride. ;
Saturday's Dally.
The Methodist church was packed
again last night with a most attentive
audience. .Mr. Miller sang, by request,
"The Tempest" and later "The Good
Shepherd." Both were much enjoyed
by the audience. His singing grows
more and more in favor with tbe people.
Mr. Miller announced to the audience
that he had not time oh Thursday even
ing to finieh bis theme as he desired, so
wopld, with their permission, continue
tbe same ' last night,' and ' for Sunday
night" would speak on "Can I have a
good time and 6e a Christian?" ' ' ' .
Last night he dwelt almost entirely on
the figure by which the church is rep
resented in the. Bible, "the. bride,"
Christ, the bridegroom. . He pictured a
most lovely marriage scene,, with its
solemn vows and obligations. He re
called the words of the. betrothed as re
corded by Hosea, "I will betroth thee
unto me forever; yea,' I will betroth
thee unto me in righteousness and in
judgment, and in loving kindness and
in mercies. I will even betroth thee unto
me in faithfulness, and thou sbalt know
the Lord." ' As the whole world expects
fidelity, constancy, devotion and unity
in the marriage relations, eo God and
the world expect these same qualities of
life and action from the church. There
fore its members are not at liberty to
join bands with the world in its pleas
ures, and if thy do ep, they lose stand
ing as being godly " and Christ-like.
Quoting Jsmesv -.4, "Know ye not that
the friendship tbe world is enmity
against God?" i' His position was well
taken, and well sustained by frequent
Bible quotations. ;'' . '
.The meeting closed with an altar ser
vice. Quite a number elanilied their
desire to lead a Christian life. -

DEATH OF JOHNNIE IRVINE.
Passes Away Saturday Night, a Victim
V . . of Cunsnmpliou.
Johnnie Irvine, son of John Irvine, of
this place died : at his father's home,
near the garrison, Saturday evening.
' He was born on the home farm, about
three iniles below this city, twenty-eight
years ago, and has made this his borne
ever Bihce. ' About four years ago be
was taken sick, and short'y afterward
his malady turned into" consumption,
since which lime be has been gradually
failing.''".'" :.';' ''" '"':' VT;.
His brother, Frank Irvine, of Ante

to attend the funeral. '
Mrs. John Irvine, mother of the de
ceased, died a little over ' a year ago,
and through ' his BickneBS he has been
cared for by a sister's gentle hands. "
The funeral will take place from the

Little Eddie Johnston Dead.
. This morning at 12:05 Edwin B.John
ston, aged 2 years and a few days, son of
W. A. Johnston, died after an illness of
about a week.
Seldom does the death of an infant
affect eo many hot closely . connected
with its home life and "winning little
ways, as ' does that of Eddie. A
chubby, ( bright and attractive little fel
low, he seemed to be the pet of every
one, and was always ready to romp and
play ' with any who ni'.gLt notice him.
He seemed such a healthy child that all
were surprised to hear of bis serious ill
ness,' and deeply grieved this morning
to learn of his death. The ' parents are
broken "' hearted, and though ' their
friends sympathize with them sincerely,
they realize how little it must .avail.
The funeral service will take place. to
morrow at 10 a. m. at the grave.' Friends
are invited. ' ' " ' ',.''
Sunday' Kevlval Services.
A good audience attended the morn
ing service at the Methodist church yes
terday morning. Mr. Miller sang "The
Palace of tbe King" in a most touching
manner. For a second selection be sang
"Will It Be-Too Late," and from the
almost oppressive eilence it set med all
were debating the solemn question
"Will it be too late? will the judge say
I know ye not?"
The text used was that familiar scrip-"
tare "I will follow thee ; but" Mr.
Miller rehearsed tbe many excuses
given by those who intend to follow
Jesus, but they wish to defer their ac
tion until a more convenient time. Ttey
are known to all, and are too inconsist
ent to be accepted by any sensible per
son. The truth is, "Nothing but sin
have I to give; nothing bat love eball I
receive." ' ' V
At tbe close five adults were baptized,
three probationers received - into the
church and one bv letter. '
The church was crowded at the even
ing meeting. The theme announced,
"Can I be a Christian and have a good
time?" was the one used. There are
different ideas of a good time, and so all
would not agree upon the same thing as
answering" their idea of " a good time.
It is true of all hearts baptized of the
Spirit, thoroughly consecrated to God's
work, that their, pleasures, their good
lime, consists of the same thing, whether
on Greenland's icy mountains or India's
coral strand to do the will of Him
whom they love ; Tils service is a delight.
The after-service was very solemn and
impressive, those coming to trie attar
appearing deeply affected and thorough
ly in earnest. - . -. .
Tbe meetings will continne each even-
:ing this weekexcept Saturday, at 7 :30.

INGOMAR LAST NIGHT.
A 8ilendld and Well-Kvndert-d I'lay
Attendance Poor, ' -
The vast majority of our theater-goers
missed a' treat last night by not' attend
ing the Waldorf company's performance
of "Ingomar:" f . '. ' '
Miss Waldorf proved by her acting in
the character of "Parthenia" that her
equal; is hard to find, and that her su
periors are certainly few. Mr McVey
took the pilrt of "Ingomar" to perfec
tion. Not' chry is their acting perfect,
but the stage presence of both is such as
to win the admiration' of all who admire
beauty of form and a graceful bearing.'
' Our people, whj have so few opportu
nities to see a troupe of this character in
such classic productions as "Ingomar"
and "The Hunchback." should not fail
f to attend tonight. It is often said by
Dalles thtater goers that they wish a
good show 'would come to this city.
Now we have such' a tne, a.nd why do
they hot attend? A Si Perkins or Un
cle Tom's Cabin troupe always draws
a rrowded house, and when a'perform
ance' that is worth' while seeing; one
that everyone can profit by ; t ne that is
worthy bf being called a classic drama,
presented by the best talent in the land,
comes to our city, they are ' forced "to
play to empty benches.- If sut-h shows
cannot be appreciated, they certainly
cannot afford to come here.
We sincerely hope that tho encour
agement which will be givtn tonight's
performance w ill he tufficient to indnce
a good troupe to stop here, occasionally
as least. '' ' -
A WORD OF ADVICE.
To Those Cjmlns to Alaska or the Klon
dike Gold Klelda.
One thing should be impressed upon
eve-y miner, prospector or trader com
ing to Alaska, to the Klondike or the
Yukon country, and that is the necessity
for providing an adequate and proper
food supply. Whether procured in the
States, In the .Dominion, or at the sup
ply stores here or further on, this must
be bis primary concern. Upon the man
ner in which the miner has observed or
neglected this precaution more than any
other one thing will his success or fail
ure depend. '.'"'' '
' These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in tbe selection of foods
that will keep unimpaired indefinitely
under all the conditions which they will
have to encounter is imperative.. For
instance, as bread raised with baking
powder must be relied upon for the chief
part of every meal, imagine the help
lessness ot a miner with a can of spoiled
baking poVder. Buy only the very best
flour; it is the cheapest in the end. Ex
perience has shown the Royal Baking
Powder to be the most leliable, and the
trading companies .now uniformly sup
ply this brand, as others will not keep
in this climate. ' Be sure that tbe bacon
is sweet, Bound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all .'must place a chief reliance,
and can under no circumstances be neg
lected. : They may, .of coarse, be supple
mented by as many comforts or delica
cies as the prospector may be able to
pack or desire to pav for. From the
Alaska Mining Journal.
A book of receipes for all kinds of
cookery, which is specially valuable for
use upon" the trail or in the camp, is pub
lished bv the Royal "Baking1 Powder Co.
of New York. The receipes are thor
oughly practical, and (he methods are
carefully explained, so that the inex
perienced may, with its aid, readily pre
pare everything requisite for a good,
wholesome meal, or evtn dainties, if he
has . the necessary materials. The mat
ter is in compact though durable form,
tbe whole book weighing but 2 ounces.
Under a special arrangement, this book
will be sent free to miners or others who
desire it. We would recommend that
everyone going to the Klondike procure
a copy. Address the Royal Baking Pow
der Co.f Vew York. ;
I-ast Sight's Meeting.
The meeting at the Methodist chnrcb
last night was characterized by great
solemnity, as indeed have been all the
services'. Mr. .Miller sang "A Poor Sin
ner Like Me" and. read from the fifth
chapter of Mark the casting out of a
legion, of devils from a man of Gadarea.
They acknowledged Christ as divine.and
besought that they be allowed to enter
a herd of swine, feeding. on the mountain
side; anywhere to escape from his pres
ence.. Jesus permttteu tnis, ana mere
weredevild enough in this one man to
send 2000 hogs into the-sea, there to
choke and perieh..' . 1 ' ' , ; :
The meeting was - very .informal, and
after soma further comments i n the
lesson, he invited the ' Christiaua t6
gather around tbe altar. After a short,
earnest' prayer service, tbe meeting
closed. ' . ' '. V." ' ';-' ..

TO REPLY.
A Measure Is Itetng Prepared for Inanaa
dtate' Passage, Placing 200.000 Man.
at the President's Disposal.
Special to Thb Cheonicli. '
Portland, Or., April 19. Amid the
greatest excitement, congress at 1:15
tnis morning threw down the gauntlet
to the Spanish government, passing the
following resolution ' by the following
vote: House, 310 to 6; senate, 42 to 35.
Joint resolution for recognition of "in
dependence of tbe people of Cuba, de
manding that the government of Spaia

ment of the island of Cuba, and with
draw its land and naval forces from
Cuba and from Cuban waters, and direct
ing the president of the United States to
use our land and naval forces to carry
the resolution into immediate- effect.
Following is the resolution as it now
stands; " . ..,
"Whereas, The abhorrent conditions
which have existed for more than three
years in the island of Cuba, so near our
own borders, have enocked the moral
sense of the people of the United States;
have been a disgrace to christian civili
zation, culminating as they have in the
destruction of a United States battle
ship, with 266 of its officers and crew,
while on a friendly visit in the harbor
of Havana, and cannot longer be en
dured, as has been set forth by the pres
ident of the United States in . his ' mes
sage to congress of April 11th, 1898, up
on which tbe action of congress was in
vited; therefore be it ' ' : '
"Resolved, By the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America, in congress assembled : v
"First That the people of the island
of Cuba are, and of right ought' to be,
free and independent. '' ' ' ' '
' "Second That it is the duty of the
United Stated to demand, and the gov
ernment bf tbe United States does here
bv demand, that the government of
Spain at once relinquish its antnority
and government in the island of Cuba,
and withdraw its land and' naval
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters;
"Third That the president of the
United States be, and is berebv directed
and empowered to use the entire land
and naval forces of the United States,
and to call into the actual service of tbe
United States the militia of the several
states to such an extent as may be nec
essary to carry these resolutions into effect.-'
' ' " ' : "' "':"""
' Fnnrrh .That the' United Statea
hereby disclaims any disposition or . in-
ronTtnn Tn. PTprniRH FnverenmLT. iuna
diction or control over said island,' ex
cept for the - pacification thereof ; and
asserts its determination, when that is
accomplished, to leave the government
and the control of the island to its own
people."
