Wednesday's Dally
Yesterday an unusually large number
of wool teams arrived from the interior.
A carload of cattle belonging to Chas.
Royse, of Heppner, passed through the
city yesterday en route to the Union
Stock Yards at Troutdale.
Yesterday a carload of prunes were
shipped to Chicago by the Stadelman

' carload of this kind of fruit shipped out
this season.
Last night six new members were
initiated into the Bedmen's lodge, or to
use their terms, six palefaces were
' scalped, corn and venison served and au
enjoyable time bad by all present. .
Yesterday . M. Wingate who, for
several months has been filling the--po
eition of local man on the Mountaineer,
laid aside his pencil to talje a summer
vacation. ,He has proven himself the
rieht man in the position, and the
Mountaine will certainly miss him. '
Fred ! Waud, son of Captain Wand,
formerly the skipper of the Regulator,
: returned a few days ago from the Stick
een river. He states that all the boats
but three on that river are tied np and
is of the opinion that the steamship
companies are losing money.
A drunkard named "Tennessee Bill"
tore his clothes to shreds in the Pendle-
- ton jail so that he woold not bave to go
. into court to answer the charge against
' him. Recorder Hailey, to be accommo
' dating, held court in tne jail, and eent
the naked man np for ten days.
The night force of the Chbonicle
. office is under obligations to Bey. O. D.
Taylor for a box of splendid peach
plums with which he presented the
office last night. Like all of Oregon's
frnit, they are finely flavored, large and
jnicy, and are just what a tired printer
dotes on toward the weary hoars of the
morning:. , -J . .. .'
What promises to be a big water suit
was begun at North Yakima last week,
when David Longmire filed a complaint,
in the superior court asking an injunc
tion againet settlers above him on the
creek, restraining them from diverting
the waters of the Wenas creek, on the
ground that he is a-prior appropriator,
Ten attorneys have already been hired
by the litigants.
E. E. Lytle, president of the Coin in
bia Southern Railway Company, filed in
the land office here yesterday a map
showing the route of the proposed ex
tension of that road frou Wasco to Moro
in Sherman county. The length of the
new portion will be seventeen miles.
Mr. Lytle states that trains will be run
ning from Biggs to Moro by the. first of
Uctober.
Sunday evening the steamer Dalles
City was gotten into the water and
towed to the Pacific Iron Works, where
her boilers and other machinery is be
ing put in, and all necessary repairs
made to put the boat in splendid shape.
When the Dalles City, Inland Flyer and
Regulator are running on the route be
tween this place and Portland, the D.
P. & A. N. Co. will have .the finest line
of river boats in the Northwest. -
Voluntary Observer S. L. Brooks, of
this city, has sent to Observer Pague, in
Portland, specimens . of " wheat taken
! from David Creighton'a farm, three
miles south of this place, one' from a
field that will yield 20 to 25 bnehels to
the acre, and the other from a field es
timated to go 30 to 35 bushels to the
acre. He adds: "I noticed all the
grain is beyond prospective damage
from all directions. You can pnt Was
co county down for 800,000 to 1,000,000
bushels of wheat this year."
Owing to a change of orders, the offi
cers who were expected to be in the
city to examine the boys and forma
regular O. N.-G. company, did not
come. It appears that onr boys and the
Pendleton company wanted more time
so as to be sure that there would be a
sufficient number of applicants to make
a complete company of fifty-six men.
The list is still open for applicants, and
in a short time the examination will be
no further opportunity to join ; so that
anyone desiring to become a member
should make application immediately.
. Sixteen cars of salmon, valued at $50,
000, left over the Astoria & Columbia
River railroad for the East Monday.
From this, the most valuable shipment
yet to leave Astoria by rail, banners
streamed, bearing the names of the dif
ferent canneries from which the salmon
came. Ten carloads were shipped by
the Union Fishermen's Co-operative
Packing Company, and the other six
cars by different packing bousesjat As
toria. The co-operative company's con
signment is billed for Liverpool. -
The recent rains were of no injury to i
the bay crop, but were of great benefit
to the spring grain and to the vegetable l
crop. The rain in connection with the
tall in temperature, materially assisted
j uncut grain to fill. There are some in
timations that the hot weather was in
jurious to the grain crop; if such is the
rase, the benefits accruing from the
cooler weather will more than offset the
injuries. The ' bay crop is large; the
the grain crop was never better, while
frnit and stock are in a thoroughly sat
isfactory condition.
We learn from a Manila special that
the officers of the Oregon troops have
abused their leave of absence and bave
been jailed and courttnartialed. The
name of Captain Wells and First Lieu
tenant Geo. Telfer, ot Co. L, are among
the rest, they being two of tne officers
in the company in which the Dalles
boys are. - The other officers under sur
veilance are H. L. Heath, of McMinn
ville, captain of Co. A, and A. F. Pres
cott, of La Grande, captain of Cj. D. It
appears they had a leave of absence to
visit the rebels, which they abused by
not returning at the time stated. ;

pany by C. M. Grimes, . "

On Tuesday two marriage licenses
were issued by County Clerk Kelsay,.
one to James C. Taylor and Bertha C.
Copple, another to G. W. Fisher and
Lillian B. Copple. We daresay this

'. The normal institute for Klickitat
county was opened Monday in the pub
lic Echool building at Goldendale. Forty
teachers are in attendance and the ses
sion will continue into August. Prof.
Charles Timblin has been selected as
chief instructor. State Superintendent
Browne is expected to be present. This
is the first normal institute in the his
tory of Klickitat county, v- "
- The Columbia Southern railway began
carrying the mails Monday morning."
This gives Wasco twelve mails 'a week.
Stage connections from this place will
give the interior towns a mail service
several hours earlier than formerly.
In the list of those who took the white
veil as a sister of the Sacred Heart in St.
Mary's Academy -in' Portland last Sat
urday we note the name of Miss Mar
garet Brogan, of Antelope Her name
in the order . will be Sister Mary Bot-bildis.
June H. Dix, the first deputy sheriff
in the Black Hills, 8. D., is in Umatilla
county, and will remain during harvest.
Mr. Dix was one of the trail blazers to
the Black Hills, and was in Dead wood
at the time of the murder of "Wild
Bill." Daring bis official life as deputy
sheriff he assisted in the capture of a
number of the hardest characters that
ever graced the inside of a penitentiary.
So far this week as well as last the
run of salmon in the Columbia river
near this place has been very light so
iignt, in lact, tnat the canneries can
only run a few hours each day, in spite
of the fact that the proprietors are mak
ing eyery effort to secure fish.
lesterday J. L. Kelly and William
Floyd delivered 300 head of cattle of
different ages to J. E. Reynolds, of Oma
ha, Nebraska. The cattle were loaded
on the cars, yesterday morning and
started east. Several cars will be added
at Arlington which will complete the
trainload. ; "
Yesterday the desks, blackboards and
other furniture for the new school build
ing arrived at the freight depot in this
city. It will be left in the depot until
the building is in a shape to receive it.
When the furniture . is in place The
Dalles will be able to look with pride at
as fine a school building as can be found
in the state.
We understand that Mr. Kretzer, the
professional, well-driller, has - begun
operations on the Kelsay place and is
slowly sicking a prospect hole into the
bowels ot earth in search of coal. Every
thing that can be learned concerning
the situation would lead one to believe
that there is coal in this vicinity, and
we hope that the labor and persever
ance of the gentlemen who are promot
ing the venture will be rewarded with
rich finds.
We read in yesterday's Oregonian that
the grand lodge of the Degree of Honor,
Ancient Order United ..Workmen, con
vened in the A." O. U. W.' temple in
Portland Tuesday morning, with Grand
Chief of Honor Mrs. M. W. Briggs, of
The Dalles, in the chair. ' Toe Oregon
ian contains a splendid picture of Mrs.
Briggs and speaks of her in.tbe manner
that she well merits on account of ber
earnest work in the order as well as of
her ability to fill the position she holds.
"" Yesterday John Russell, of .Kinesley,
was in the city. Mr. Rasseif is certain
ly one . of Wasco county's prosperous
farmers, since be baa a large acreage of
wheat this year that cannot be excelled.
He reports that harvesting has begun
on this side ot Dnfur but no grain will
be in condition '- to cut hi the country
south of Dnfur for about two weeks
longer. The farmers in this vicinity are
busy at present getting through with
their haying. . .
Several citizens who have recently
made trips through the Palouse country
bave informed the Oaksdale San that
the orchards have a heavy yield of the
finest fruit. Years ago it was thought a
waste of time to plant orchards, bnt the
eroneons belief has happily been dis
proved. So many splendid young orch
ards are growing np that in the near fu
ture this section of the country will, not
only as a producer of grain but of fruits
as well, be famous.
We understand that it will be neces
sary for the city council to again take
action in regard to the gambling device
known as the ' nickel-in-tbe-elot ma
chine. - A party with a number of them
struck town Tuesday and is giving the
authorities trouble in order to keep him
from setting them . np and operating
them in this city. In- all probability
the imposing of a license' so high that
they cannot afford to run them will be
the ultimate end of the matter.
In spite . of the abundant room for
storage which the Wasco Warehouse has
!t is filled almost to overflowing. The
causes for such a state of affairs is be
cause of the popularity of this company
with the woolmen as well as the dead
lock existing between the wool buyers
and the producers. In other years at
this time numerous wool sales would
have . been made and thousands of
pounds would have been shipped to
eastern markets.- This year, however
the producers are extremely anxious to
hold their wool for higher prices, which
causes the lack of storage room in the
warehouses. . "
- The party of twenty-six Mazimas who
started from Portland, July 14tb, for
Mount St. Helens, were deserted by
their packer last Sanday and left on foot
in the mountains a long way from home,
and some distance from the mountains
they were bound to. As tbey are all
accustomed to camping out and able to
take care of themselves, there need be
no apprehension of -their meeting with
the unhappy fate of the babes in the
woods. The packer stated that he bad
disagreed with the excursionists and had
left them and their outfit about a mile
and a half from the lake, at the base of
the mountain. '. -
Tuesday was field day at the Chau
tauqua, Gladstone Park. An estimate
places the attendance at about 2000.
The events were 100-yard dash, 220
yard dash, 220-yard hurdle, running
high jump and pole vault. A good
many contestants entered in each event,
and the prizes , were hotly fonght for.
Besides the Y. M. C. A., nnder whose
auspices the meet was given, the follow
ing organizations were represented:
The M. A. A. C, the Pacific college,
the Oregon agricultural college, the Che
mawa Indian school and the Salinas
high school," of California. Although
the latter only bad one man on the
field, it catried off two medals. ; 7.
There will he two Moodys in the next
house of representatives Moody of
Massachusetts, and Moody of Oregon,
says the Oregonian. The Massachusetts
Moody is one of the level-headed and
brainy men of the present house. He is
an able lawyer, and won distinction first
in the Lizzie Borden trial. When he
came to the house he took a ranking po
sition, even as a new member, succeding
an old and highly respected member,
General Cogswell. He said to the Ore
gonian correspondent.afterit was known
that Malcolm A. Moody was to repre
sent the second district of Oregon, that
he supposed the Oregon Moody was a
relative of his, although he had not
traced the connection. He thinks that
a family of Moodys came over two cen
turies ago, and that they are scattered
in different parts of the United States. -Just
what relationship he has to his
brother representative he does not
know.

"The Ladles Surprise Mrs. Biggs.
Mrs. W. H. Biggs, who has been
president of the Good Intent Society for
the past three years, was greatly sur
prised yesterday afternoon when abont
a dozen of the members of that society
walked into her parlors with the evi
dent intent to spend the afternoon.
Being heartily welcomed, the boars were
passed in such a manner, as only
those who are banded together in such,
noble work can enjoy.
Mr. and Mrs. Biggs expect toon to
leave for the East, and although they -will
' probably return, may not make
this city their home. W ishing to show
their appreciation of her efficient work
in the society and their affection for
her, whom it would be impossible to be
associated with and not become attached
to, the ladies presented her with a silver
pie-kuife as a token of that regard, r
Late in the afternoon refreshments-
