On account of the rapid fall in the
river it is expected that the Regulator
will be able to go throngh to Portland
today, while the Dixon will make tbe
run np to this city. This will make it
much more pleasant 'or tbe patrons of
the D. P. & A. N. line, as the trip will
be made quicker and without the disa
greeable feature of transferring at the
locks.
In a letter written by A, F. Martin to
the editor from Honolulu dated tbe 3rd
inst. he says : "We are jnst starting
from here on the Manila expedition,
after having enjoyed a rousing reception.
The Oregon boys won applause every
where, and are well pleased with the
treatment received at the hands of the
generous people of this place. The
Charleston will escort ns from here to
Manila." He closes by sending regards
to Dalles friends and expresses regret
that he cannot write at greater length.
Tnesday morning while Nightwatcb
man Wiley was making the rounds he
heard some one scream in the direction
of the li. P. & A. N. warhouse, immedi
ately struck oat to see what tbe trouble
was. On arriving on tbe driveway near
tbe warehouse be fonnd a number of
Indiana standing around, ' wbile two.
were engaged in mortal combat. One
bad the other on the railing and was in
the act of throwing him over into the
river below, and had not the night
watchman been on band there would
have been one Indian less today. He
immediately stopped the fight and took
the Si wash who attempted the deed to
jail while the others escaped in thedark
ness. They were all more or less intox
icated and this probably accounts for
the trouble.

Every evening the band practices over
A. M. Williams & Co.'s store, and it
will certainly do credit to itself by its
playiDg on the Fourth. Along with the
Dalles band will be two outside - bands
who will add much to the musical pro
gram. A new bandstand has bcrn erected in
the Academy Park and seats sufficient
to accommodate the large throng which
will be there on July 4th have been
placed in the shade of the trees eo. that
everyone will be in a position to enjoy

The rivers continue to fall. The tem
perature has remained, nearly stationary
over the Colnmbia river basin during
the past 24 hours. This will cause a
rapid fall from last night, eo that it is
expected tbe river will have fallen be
low the danger line within the next ten
days.
Yesterday both the Regulator and
Sarah Dixon made the trio through the
locks without any great amount of diffi
culty. The Dixon got through at about

be able to run the rapids without diffi
culty in future.'

opinm fiend who is charged with steal
ing sheep pelts ' from Chrisman Bros.,
was arraigned before Justice Fillooa for
bis preliminary examination. A. A.
Jayne appeared for the state, while the
defendant acted as bis own council. He
claimed hat someone, whom he conld
not produce In court, "bad given him one
dollar to sell the pelts, and that he did
not suspect they were stolen. The coun
cil for tbe state argded that Daly should
have known that if they were not stolen
the party who had them in his posses
sion would not have hired anyone to sell
them for him. As Daly's plea was faulty
throughout, he was-bound over under
$200 bonds to appear before the next
grand jury. No bondsman appearing,
be was lodged in jail.
In a few weeks the new Dalles City
will be ready for tbe business of trans
porting freight and passengers on the

speak. Workmen are now engaged in
putting on tbe last planking and mak
ing tbe boat ready for launching. The
fine passenger propeller, Inland Flyer,
which is to run in conjunction with the
Dalles City, is receiving her machinery,
and the work on her cabin is being pot
in. She will be finished' inside in ma
hogany, and will be an nnusually hand
some steamer.. We understand from'
parties concerned in the D. P. & A. N.
Co. that the Flyer will be put on about
July loth and will well merit the name

tween this place and Portland wil be
overed in less than five hours without

A HONOLULU LETTER.
One of the Soldier Boys En Koute to
M mnl la Describes Honolulu and
Their stay There.
YestHnlMV n letter was received from
MaxBartell by one of his friends in thia
city. He being one of the soldier boys
in the Manila expedition, and as his let
ter contains interesting information con
cerning Honolulu and their stay there,
with the consent of the recipient of the
same, we publish it. It bears the
the date of Honolulu, June 2d, and we
are sure his many friends in The Dalles
will be pleased to hear from him. He
says:
.-"Honolulu is almost on the open sea
coaet. A little channel dredged through
the low marshy beach leads to the city.
It is situated on a beautiful level stretch
of land along the base of the foothills.
Tbe streets are narrow and the houses
small, mostly - one or two stories high.
There are horse cars on the principal
streets and almost all the sidewalks are
paved, in short it is one of the cleanest,
neatest and most picturesque cities
which I have seen. It beats all th'at I
have seen in either Oregon or Califor
nia. - The population is about 30,000,
consisting of Chinese, Japs and a few
thousand whites, mostly Oregonians (?)
The Chinese here are a different class
than those in America, wearing Ameri
can clothes, and they can all speak fair
English. The Chinese run most of tbe
restaurants and' candy stands, and the
Japs many of th,e clothing stores. The
whites and natives mingle indiscrimi
nately and they are the most hospitable
people I ever met. Small as the town is
they raised $8000 by subscription to en
tertain ns during our stay here. One
would naturally expect them to be
American sympathizers, but they are
more, they are actually American pa
triots, and if they were permitted fnlly
nine-tenths of them would enlist in this
Manila expedition. The Hawaiian na
tional guard wear the same as the O. N.
G.. but their drilling will compare with
the best of the U. S. regulars. One good
thing about their army is the officers,
even to tbe highest, put themselves on
the same level as the privates. They
walked around town with the common
soldiers with the same pleasure as they
would with the general, and that is tbe
foundation of an efficienct army."
. A REMARKABLE CHARACTER.
Le Roy George, the Rattlesnake Kins;,
Pays a Visit to Rockland and Se
euies Some Bare Specimens.
Yesterday onr city was visited by a
remarkable character in the person of
Le Roy George, who the San Francisco
Examiner some time ago gave a full
page, describing bis ability at handling
rattlesnakes and the fearless manner in
which he acts with those venomous rep
tiles. Yesterday he went to Rockland and
succeeded in locating and catching thir
teen large rattlers and brought them
over in a sack to this city. Last evening
quite a crowd gathered around Lynch's
barber shop to watch him take them
from the sack and put them in a soap
box, which he bad prepared with a
screen over the front like a cage. In a
short time he, bad the snakes removed
from the sack and put securely into the
cage.
He doeu not claim that he has any
Bpecial gift, and says that anyone who
has th,e nerve can handle a rattler just
as easily as be.sA enake in a hole or
under a rock will bite a man every time,
says Mr. George; but when he is on the
open ground a person can walk up to
him and pick him up with little danger
of the reptile striking him. Two of tbe
snakes he caught yesterday were con
cealed under a rock.. Upon turning the
rock over be caught the snakes without
any difficulty or danger of being bit.
Mr. George will send them to Port-.
land, where their oil will be used for
medical purposes. He informs us that
after snakes are captured they refuse to
eat or drink, and will live" as long, as
twenty-seven months without any nour
ishment whatever.
Since be has been in tbe business be
has been bitten twice, but applied the
proper antidotes and recovered without
any serious results more than a stiff
joint in one of his index fingers. '
He states that he wonld give a per
formance in this city could Be secure
more rattlers; but he has not a suffi
cient number to make it interesting.
