o'clock last evening with a Very large
passenger list. Tourists are already be
ginning to make trips up the river.
Mr. J. B. Haverly. of Boyd, who was
in the city yesterday, says it does a
person a world of good to eee how well
the grain is looking in his part of the
country. Johnston Bros, have some
grain that will yield forty bushels to the
-acre. "
Cards have been received in this city
announcing the marriage of Miss Maud

visiting Miss Story in this city, who will
extend their congratulations.
The Oregonian says that before the
summer is over Portland and Mt. Hood

means of traveling to the mountain. L.
L. Hawkins is the projector of the plan.
One of the witnesses in the Heater

Lieut. Bartell will be given twenty-four
hours' notice before his arrival here, so
that all will be in readiness.
The Willamette Chautauqua Assem
bly, which is held at Gladstone Park
each summer, will convene this year on
the 10th of July. This is one of the
most pleasant and instructive places a
person can possibly find to spend a week
or ten days. Bates can be secured over
the O. E. & N. and D. P. & A. N.t and
altogether it is a very inexpensive trip.
The program for this year is, if possible,
better than ever, the best of instructors
and speakers having been engaged.
The weather bureau report says :
Comparatively cool weather continues
over the Columbia river basin. The
cool weather will check the melting of
the snow and the water now started will
to a certain extent, run off before any
fnrtber warm weather can occur and
start the snow to melting again. The
height of 20.7 feet, registered at Port'
laud yesterday morning, marks ' the
maximum height of the high water this
year. The river will remain nearly sta
tionary or fall slightly for the next sev
eral days. From Friday the fall will
become more marked. There is abso
lutely no danger of a further material
rise this year.
The Long Creek Eagle is in' receipt of
a private letter from Washington, D. C,
which announces that A. W. Patterson,
a brother of the Eagle man, was one of
six who, oat of a class of 200, passed the
highest in the examinations closing the
second year's work of the Columbian
Law school. He received second prize,
an elegant set of law books. Mr. Pat
terson has many friends in The Dalles,
who will be pleased to learn of his suc
cess. .
At 8 o'clock last evening, as the cow
herder was bringing in the drove, one
of the cows become frightened just as
tbey reached Crowe's store, and darted
like a flash through the glass door of the
agricaltaraldepartment. Seeing Fletcb
Faalkner in the act of selling Lem Bur
gess one of their famcus Jones mowers,
she became more frightened than ever,
and turning around, tore np Second
street as if she bad been shot, doing no
more damage,' however, than bad al
ready been accomplished. - '
.' The portico of the club rooms has
found that its dress of pare white is sus
ceptible to every spot of dust and dirt
with which it comes in contact. . Con
sequently the painters were busy yes
terday giving it another coat, which
adds greatly to its appearance. This
has been a favorite resort for the club
members daring the warm weather, and
at any boar in the evening a number of
Shoes
feet may be seen peeping over the rail
ing, while their owners are enjoying the
customary cigar.
Saturday a party from Hood Biver,
consisting of Mrs. E. Band, Miss Bart
lett. of Eau Claire, Wis., Miss Marden
of this city, and Will Langille, made the
trip to' Cloud Cap Inn, on Mt. Hood.
Mr. Langille opened the inn for the first
time this year, and the party report
having one of the most pleasant times
imaginable, in spite of the fact that they
were subjected to all sorts of weather,
Sunday being treated to a genuine snow
storm. However, when the clouds dis
persed the view of the mountain and
surrounding country was beyond de
scription. The inn will be opened for
the season about the first of July, and
for grandness of scenery and an ideal
saoimer resort Cloud Cap cannot be ex
celled, we care not wn'uher the tourist
may resort.
Becent rains, while being a bless
ing in more ways than one, have proven
somewhat of a detriment to the straw
berry and cherry crops. While the lat
ter is beautiful to the vit'w and has all
the appearance of bring perfect,' the
damage done is noticeable when they
reach their destination after they are
shipped. Mr. Kurtz, of the Pacific Ex
press Company, received a dispatch yes
terday from the agent at Denver, noti
fying him that when cherries reach that
place they are bruised and it ie difficult
to dispose of them. At that time they
were selling at 75 cents a box, while the
average price enould be irom fi to
$1.25.
The Fourth of ' July committee has
sent invitations to all the interior towns
to join as in celebrating, and no doubt
the city will bn well filled with visitors
on that occasion. . It becomes the duty,
then, of every citizen, not on to make
the best of the day themselves, but to
see that not a stone is left unturned to
help others to enjoy themselves. The
committees are doing their part, but
they need the support and co-operation
of everyone. Let us show that not only
those who have left us to fight for our
country are patriotic, but that we who
are left are filled with' love of country,
and appreciate our freedom, so dearly
bought in former years.

cet tones will no doubt be heard on our
street corners today.

him on his change of occupation.
The National Congregational Council
will convene in Portland on the 7th of
next month, and ' will be attended by
Congregationalists from every part of
the United States. A very instructive
and interesting time is expected, and
many will attend from this city.
One very attractive feature of our eel
ebration will be the singing under the
leadership of Prof. Lundell. Beside a
double male quartet, a large chorus of
of mixed voices will furnish several
selections. Those who have been asked
to aid in this chorus should consider it a
privilege to do so.
.The ministers are not the only ones
who are being kept busy in the matri
monial market these days, although
tbey have been doing a land office busi
ness. Justice Filloon, determined pot
to be outdone, Tuesday tied the knot
which united in marriage Wm. A. Doyle
and Alice Spoonemore.
Tuesday evening during the time of

fracture.
The Pendleton Tribune says : "It is
said that the wheat fields in the vicini
ty of Sand Hollow are beginning to
show effects of what is supposed to be
the Hessian fly. The heads of the. wheat
turn white and the grains Neither away..
These white heads can be seen in large
numbers, bat so far they are not enough
to effect the yield. The fly is supposed
o lay an egg in the joint of the stock,
which hatches into a worm that destroys
the plant. The insect has been known
in the county for several years, bat the
ip juries have nob-been, great, enough to
cause much attention, and no one has
made an exact study of the parasite."
. Herman Naylor was arreeted yesterday
morning, having forged a check for $5.
He gave the check to Jordon,' who after
ward was going to pay it to Joe Parodi.
However, -the latter being eomewbat
suspicions as to the way it was made
out, refused to accept it. Naylor then
took it, saying he would make out an
other, but instead tore it up and refused
to pay the amount. Accordingly he
was arrested. .
K. O. Judson, who was the prime
mover in the Wool-Growers' Associa
tion which was held here, is now busily
engaged in planning a convention of
farmers, which will be held in Astoria
on July 20th and 21st, principally in the
interest of dairymen. Invitations will
be sent to every farmer in Oregon and
Washington, and those . who know Mr.
Judson are assured of its success.
Every day numbers of people from
California are arriving in Portland,
driven there by the drouth. A ' gentle
man from Southern California, speaking
of their coming, said : "People up here
in emerald Oregon can form no idea of
what a terrible southern drouth means,
and the suffering and impoverishments
which it inflictu on people. I 'shall sell
my Southern California place and bay
a small farm in Oregon."
If anyone has an idea that The Dalles
is not all right in a business way, they
will soon change their minds by visiting
the different warehouses where wool is
daily arriving, and then watching the
teams going out loaded down with
supplies. Then call at the commission
houses and see bow much fruit
shipped, not speaking of the other ship
ments made, and if The Dalles is not
all right, where do yoa find a place that
is? '
The annual convention of Christian
churches of this state begins this morn
ing at Turner, near Salem, and will con
tinue until July 4th. Bev. Boltz and

dispensed with.
The Good Intent Society, which met
with Mrs. D.'M. French yesterday after
noon, was particularly favored by hav
ing with them Mrs. Hoxter, of the
Portland Befuge Home, who gave
most interesting talk concerning the
the work of that institution. 'Those who
beard Mrs. Hoxter speak at the Metho
dist church one evening last winter,
were deeply impressed with the work
this institution is doing, and have, since
that time, felt more than a passing in
terest in its welfare.
Wednesday's weatner report says:
"The Snake river 'shows a marked -fall
this morning. The Columbia remains
stationary. - Cool weather continues
over the entire Columbia river basin
The upper rivers will continue to tall
slowly. The fall will be observable - at

This bonanza riyals the Great Northern
mine at Canyon City. It is said that
the ledge is two feet in width and be.
tween well denned walls, mere is a
widespread excitement over this find of
yellow metal and mining men of long
experience who have seen the property
are emphatic in asserting that a lasting
and prolific quartz- mine has been un
covered.
Much is said in the Oregonian con'
cerning Oregon's Official, Roster, dedi
cated to the Second Begiment, Oregon
Volunteer Infantry, and compiled by
Amelie de F. Smith, of Portland.- In
looking over - a copy last evening, we
find it to be a very valuable little eouve-
nir; especially will it be so in alter years
when, mavbap, many, the likeness cf
whose faces can be found therein, and
whose signatures also appear, have given
their lives for ' their country. It is
neatly gotten np and bound together
with Manila hemp. As we turned over
the pages of the roster we could not
help feeling a. pride that it contained so
many familiar signatures. "

a' fine idea for the people of this city to
consider.
Mrs. A. C. Stubling & Son will soon
begin on the erection of a new hot house
especially for the culture of carnations
and violets. The increasing trade makes
this necessary and Mrs. Stubling feels
that her efforts will be appreciated by
her patronsi jel7 .
Altercations wiil occur in the best of
families, as was proven yesterday when

sion with bis klootchman on Second
street. Constable Hill arrested him,
but he was allowed his liberty after
promising to live peaceably hereafter.
The executive committee wish to re
mind the citizens of The. Dalles that en
thusiasm should know no bounds this
year, for not only do we celebrate the
birthday of our nation ; but -as we bave

occasion of a double celebration. Get
all the fireworks in readiness.
Max Vogt's building, on the corner of
Fourth and Washington streets, which
is being refitted, and is to be occupied
by Peter Stadleman, who will carry on
a commission business, will be com
pleted some time the middle of July.

bouse. Wednesday evening Mrs. Geo. Her
bert returned from Cascade Locks, where
she bad been visiting her sister, Mrs
Geo. Morgan. She reports Mr. Morgan
as being much worse, and it is feared he
will live bat a few days. Although re
alizing his condition, he is quite cheer
ful, and has expressed a desire to once
more see his intimate friends in this
city.
At a recent meeting of the ministers
of Eugene, arrangements were made to
unite in an out-door service each Sun
day afternoon during the summer, the
first service to be held July 3d. The
service will be held in one of the city
parks. This is a very happy idea, and
no doubt more good will be accomplished
in this way than could possibly be done
by convening in a close building during
the summer months.

ed in marriage by Rev. G. W. White.
A large number of the friends of the
bride and groom ' were present, and it
was one of the. happiest weddings that
has ever occurred in Mosier. The deco
rations were profuse and beautiful, and
the number of substantial presents re
ceived proved the popularity of the
young couple. Mr. J. N. Mosier acted
as best man, while Mrs. J. M. Mosier
was bride's maid. All did justice to the
bountiful dinner which was served, and
joined in wishing them peace and happi
ness. .
Comini'e goat, the most popular ani
mal on Second street, got into serious
trouble yesterday, when soma boys,
with malice aforethought and malicious

proves the fact that tbey are not back
ward in entering even newspaper work,
and the editions so far edited by them
have been very creditable. . While we
do not doubt that women will prove
equally as successful as men in this line.
remembering that what man has done
(or hasn't) woman can do, yet these
editions would not be sufficient proof of
the fact, had they not given evidence of

Altbough vacation has just begun, it

DEATH OF MRS.' FERGUSON.
At
Four O'clock Yesterday She
eambed to Consumption. -
Sue-
Friday's Daily.
Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock,
while her husband, relatives and friends
were watching by her bedside, Mrs.'
Serene Ferguson, wife of G. A. Fergu
son, fell asleep to wake no more this
side of eternity.
Last October Mrs. Ferguson was taken
ill and since that time she has never
been free from pain, although her ill
nees did not seem, until the last few
months, to be of a serious nature. In
April she was taken to her sister's home
in Albany, for the benefit the change
might do her; but she grew woree, and
some weeks ago, when her husband
went below to bring her 'home, he waa
shocked to find her to much worse than
he thought, and evidently a victim of
consumption. She was brought to this
city about ten days ago, and everything
possible done for her, but in vain.
Mrs. Ferguson was but in the prime
of womanhood, being 33 years of age.
She has been a member of the Chris
tian church for a number of years, and
when told Bhe mast die, bore the
news bravely, being perfectly reconciled.
Of a happy, lively disposition, she won '
all hearts. She leaves, beside her hus
band and son, Glenn, a mother, in Scio,
Or., three sisters and four brothers.
Her remains were taken to Albany on
this morning's train, where they will be
interred.
The Inland Flyer.
The beautiful propeller, Inland Flyer,
which Joseph Supple is building for The
Dalles run, is neariog completion and '
will be ready for launching in about
three weeks. The engines for the boat
arrived yesterday and will be installed
as soon as possible. They are of the
triple compound pattern, the low-pressure
cylinders being divided into two
parts, and will develop 650 horse power,
which insures the speed of the boat.
The cabin arid interior of the craft are
especially fine, all the casings and
moldings being of mahogany. , She is in
tended only for the passenger business,
and will be fitted with every conven
ience that the shipbuilder's art can sup
ply-
In another part of the yard,' near the
east approach of the Morrison -street
bridge, is the old steamer Dalles City,
and beside her. is 'the brand new hull
ten feet longer than hers, lo which the
upper works have been transferred.
Part of the machinery of the Dalles City .
will be used in the new boat, which is
to be used as a freighter to run in con
junction with the passenger steamer. .
