Creightou, tbe traveling freight agent of tbe Northern Pacific, ia very much pleased with the business outlook in tbe Inland Emprial, says tbe Tele gram. lie has just returned from a swing aronnd the circle in Eastern Ore gon and Washington, and finds evidence of prosperity on every hand. Today Mr. I. P. Jolea and wife, Miss Fearle Joles and Miss B. Schooling will leave on the Dixon for Moffatt Spring, where tbey will establish a camp. For tbe next month their friends will find them "at home at Camp Havana," .and as Ths Chronicle hopes to have a cor - respondent in that vicinity in a short time, a lengthy write-np of tbe camp may be expected. A Kansas man has discovered the reason that an engine 19 called she, and his argument is that tbey wear a jacket, and aprons, have shoes, hose, and drag s train behind them ; they have a lap, need gnidee, ride wheels', will not turn ont for pedestrians, sometimes foam and refuse to work, they attract men, are very contrary and it always takes a man to manage them. Yesterduy evening Frank O'Leary ar rived from Portland on tbe Dixon. He states that his father, John O'Leary, is getting along splendidly, being able to sit np in an invalid chair, and is in good health and spirits. His leg has been removed from the plaster paris mold and fixed so that he can move aronnd on crutches. In a short time, if he con tinues to improve, he will be in shape to be removed to hia home in Sherman county. The run of salmon continues light on the upper river, so that the canneries are laying idle most of the time. Un less an exceptionally heavy run of fish comes daring the next ten days tbe owners of canneries as well as the fishermen will loose money daring tbe latter part of the season. Taking tbe season throughout it has not been as profitable as previous ones, although we are safe in saying that no one lost money in tbe fhh business this season. At St. Mary's hospital in Walla Wal la, last week, Dr. N. G. Ballock per formed a remarkable surgical operation. Miss Carrie Stone, of Athena, who had for some time been suffering from stom ach trouble, her death being but a ques tion of a short time, was taken to the hospital to be operated on as a last re sort. Dr. Ballock and hia assistant re moved from her stomach a large mass of black hair, or a dermoid cyst growth It measured 32 inches in length, and 5 inches in diameter, and weighed six pounds. Miss stone has a good chance of recovery. Last night Ward L9wis, the eight- year-old son of Mrs. Mary J. Lewis, of Eingsley, died of scarlet fever. Tbe little fellow has been sick for some time and bis death was not unexpected. He was an intelligent little boy ani bis death will be a sad blow to hia widowed mother. Quite a number of children in the Eingsley vicinity are down with the same disease and in a number of cases it haa proven fatal. Dr. Logan waa called yesterday afternoon to attend the little enfferer, but he arrived . too late to ren der any assistance. Tbe great council, Improved Order of Bed Men, concluded its labors Thurs day, and adjourned until tbe "twenty seventh sun, buck moon, G. S. D., 408," when it will meet in Pendleton. A great deal 'of business was transacted on the last day of the meeting. The morning was occupied by the consideration of re ports of the various committees and the decisions of .the great sachem.' Reports of the mileage and per diem committees were adopted end then a recess was taken until 1 p. in. In the afternoon, a resolution authorizing the printing of 250 copies of the great council's proceed ings, was adopted. The selection of tbe place for holding the next council "was brought up, and Oregon City and Pen dleton were mentioned. The latter waa chosen by a large majority. . Shortly after breakfast at Fort Walla Walla Thursday morning 42 men of troop A were taken 111 with violent pains in the stomach and nausea. The afflict ed men were ordered sent to the hos pital, but on tbe way many dropped to the ground and lay groaning in agony until medical assistance from the city arrived. The. plot of ground between the quarters and the hospital was cov ered with prostrate blaecoata for a quar ter of an hour and resembled a battle fluid. That evening all bad recovered, except five men, who are in a serious condition. Neither the doctors nor the soldiers are able to give a cause for tbe sickness. The doctors pronounce it cholera morbus. The food haa been examined and tested and found all right. Some think the water baa been tamp ered with. One of the symptoms was internal burning, and the men before tbe arrival of tbe physicians drank large quantities of ice water to get relief, but without avail. Sunday's Daily. The first grapes of the season were brought to the city by T, A. Fleck, hav ing been raised on his farm a short dis tance from tbe city. - ' " Fobs Beardsley has been elected a teacher in the Arlington public school to fill the vacancy caused by the death of H. M. Clay. Mr. Meal was re-elected principal, and Mr. Cross and Mi9S Hur- burt were re-elected teachers. Thoneands of men who left California expecting to get work at harvesting in tbe Inland Empire, are strung along tbe lines of railroads from Tbe Dalles to the Idaho line, both in Oregon and Wash ington, and besides being unable to get work, are out of fends, and it is becom ing a serious question with them bow they are goiog to subsist. Last evening the oil painting of Mt. Hood, taken from the Clackamas river, which is the work of Prof. W. W. Arm strong, of Oakland, was raffled at Blake ley &. Hoaghton'8 drugstore. The win ning number, 13, was beld by Joseph Kobler. We understand Mr. Kohler contemplates going into housekeeping in the near future, and a more beautiful decoration for his new home could not be found anywhere. W. D. Grave9 was attacked by a foot-' pad on tbe railroad track in La Grande, Wednesday night. Tbe footpad struck at him with a club, but missed his aim. Mr. Graves struck his assailant on the head with a heavy stone and felled him to the earth and proceeded to jump on him. Just then another footpad came running toward the scene of the fight, and Mr. Graves concluding he bad bad enough fighting' for one night, took to his heels. The footpads escaped. Claud Branton, charged with the mur der of John Linn, will be given a pre liminary examination in Eugene, Mon day. Linn, who was about 50 years old, was shot through the head and instantly killed at Alder springs, 80 miles east of Eugene, on the McKenzie river, June 15, his body being afterward cremated to bide all traces of the crime. Two men j were at the camp at the time of the murder Conrtland Green and Claud Branton. Green charged Branton with the crime. Branton was arrested in Eugene a few days ago. Linn waa a well-known Gilliam county stockraieer. Columbus A. Rhea, pioneer stockman and banker, of Heppner, says that the Morrow county section is highly pros perous. Wool at Heppner is beginning to move a little $20,'000 worth was sold last Saturday at 12 and 13 cents. James Jones sold the wool from 10,000 of his sheep, and several other smaller lots bave been sold. But William Peniand is holding his 250,000 pounds, and most other growers are holding theirs, be lieving that prices will advance. Wool is advancing in Europe, and the Hepp ner price could go up five cents in the grease without getting above the level of scoured. ' Mr. Rhea thinks that wool will rise in price as soon as it geta into the hands of speculators, as it did last year. Tuesday's Daily. ' The report that the Dalles City would be up today is a mistake, as some im provement haa to be made on the boll ers, which will take some time yet be fore tbe boat can go into service. A fearful hailstorm over in Umatilla county recently completely ruined 2000 acres of wheat and injured fully aa much more- Tbe hail stones were two inches in diameter, and fairly beat tbe grain into the ground. A freight train crew and a gang of tramps engaged in a free-for-all fight at Huntington last Thursday, in which tbe railroad men, by tbe judicious use of monkey rencbes. sncceedsd in scattering the Wandering Willies. - Yesterday Thomas Twohig, who for some time has been dangerously, ill from an attack of appendicites, was taken to St. Vincent's hospital in Port land for treatment. He is certainly a sick man, but with skillful treatment may pull through all right. ' Yesterday Carey Ballard, the popular proprietor of the Columbia Caudy Fac tory, changed the name of hia estab lishment to "The Palace of Sweete," and put up a new sign. The name is certainly appropriate for the delightful cafe . where everything in the way of cooling drinks can be secured. ..-".'- Sunday night W. H. O'Dell got into trouble with a party at the Bee Hive restaurant. It appears that the vaga bond made some remark concerning O'Dell's wife, which caused the fight, in which Mr. O'Dell got badly need up. He was struck on tbe head, which inflicted a long gash, and in the scuffle he had his thumb badly bitten. Dr. HolliBter waa summoned and dressed the wounds. . Aa usual a splendid lot of scores were made at the Umatilla House alleys dur ing the week ending Sunday. The Uma tilla House, on account of its location and the river breeze, is tbe coolest place in the city, and bowlers can enjoy a game there during the t hot weather when it is entirety to warm at the other places. ; The scores are as follows: Maetz, Monday, - 69 ; Tuesday, N, J. Sinnott, 55; Maetz, Wednesday, . 65; Thursday, 54; Friday, 59; Saturday, Esping, 68; Sunday, Weigel, 53. . " On Friday of last week Miss Adna Helm closed a very successful, term of school on upper Mill creek. There were three little boys among her pupils, Frank, Guy and Hugh Fagan, whom she mentions very complimentary, they having been the only ones entitled to be placed on tbe roll- of honor, and were also on the roll of honor at the close of a term Miss Helm taught in the district last year. The hot weather of the past weed has been too much for the bowlers at the club, and has put a damper on tbe sport to a great extent. Many of the enthus iasts are out of town and those here find more pleasure in sitting on the veranda and resting rather than exciting them selves by this favorite sport. Tbe only records kept during the week were that of Judge Bennett, Mohdav, 52, and 51 made on Tuesday by Carey Ballard. The Albany Herald and the Corvallis Union are warning the farmers against the Earl Fruit Company, of California, who are now trving to make contracts with the Oregon farmers. Tbe Herald says that representatives of the company secured the entire crop of a number of Linn county fruit-growers last season and did not pay a cent for it, but in ad tion bobbed up a month afterward with excessive billa for back freight charges. An exchange says : A. M. Bunnell, of Goldendale, arrived in Chehalis last week with a drove of twenty-five ponies. He started from Goldendal with 125 bead, and drove them rcross by way of Cowlitz pass. He says the snow up tbore was eight feet deep. . He lost twenty-five head in tbe paBS. He haa sold tbe greater part of the ponies, and expects to dispose of all of them in the Lewis country. It took him ten days to go from Yakima to the Big Bottom. A lull military band lends life to any gathering of people, and is always one of the most attractive of features. The managers of tbe Oregon Industrial Ex position have engaged a first class band to play afternoon and evening at the ex position, Sept. 22 to Oct. 22, and all who attend will bave every opportunity to delight in tbe music, sitting down to it they want to sit and promenading over good floors, with ample space for healthful exercise. . Even the sheep seem toknow what an excellent advertising medium Tbe Morning Chronicle is as was plainly demonstrated by a little incident that occurred last evening. A nice fat mut ton had in some way got hopelessly lost from its band and after making a vain attempt to get - its bearings it strolled boldly into the back door of this office ia order to be advertised. At the time of going to press it was waiting patient- Iv in the back vard nntil its owner reads the paper and comes after it. -Sheepmen who range their flocks in tbe Cascade complain that there will be a scarcity of grass on tbe summer ranges, and in consequence sheep will bave to be brought out of the mountains earlier than common, unless they are permitted to herd on that portion of tbe Cascade reserve that has been withdrawn, lying north of ti e Barlow road. Sheepmen insist that their flocks are no detriment to the mountain ranges, and will proba bly endeavor to prevail upon tbe de partment to allow them to paatare on tbe headwaters of Hood River. Yesterday morning J. P. Lucas took his position as register and Otis Patter son as receiver of The Dalles land office For over four years Register J. F. Moore and Receiver W. H. Biggs, the two gen tlemen who yesterday stepped out of office, fulfilled their duties in their r.e spective positions as ably as they have ever been - fulfilled by any land office officials. Although regrets are expressed at their stepping out of office, still we trust that their successors are men who wll! fill the position satisfactorily to everyone, and wiH leave with aa clear a score to their credit as their successors - The family of Matt Stanton, a well- known rancher near Yakima, are great ly worried as to his whereabouts. Some six weeks ago he started for Oregon in company with J.: W. Downer, to buy land, and while Mr. Downer baa return ed, Mr, 6 tan ton has not, and no word nas been received from him since bis departure. He parted from Mr. Downer Shortly after reaching Oregon, and has not seen or beard of him since. He is supposed to have had a considerable sum ol money with - him, . which adds come color to the belief of possible fonl play indulged in by bis relatives in Yak ima. : Last evening an old gentlemen, Wm. H. Grosser, attracted quite a lot of at tention on tbe square at the intersection of Second and Washington streets with a large telescope with which by tbe pay ment of 10 cents one cnnld view tbe moon, Saturn and the other planets. His telescope is a very good one and brings out fhe planets Tip a femarkahiy distinct manner. He has also a magni fying glass which makes a drop of stag nant water appear the size of a man's head and plainly shows the numerous insects with which the water is filled. A look through bis glasses is certainly worth the price he charges. . -' A number of the citizens who reside in tbe vicinity of the cow pound have all kinds of complaints to make concern ing what they justly term a common nuisance. Cows are put in this place which is in the residence portion of the city and left there in some instances for days, withont being milked, fed or watered. - They consequently-vmake life hideous for the residents of that portion of town by their bellowing. 1 We do not mean to say that the pound is unneces sary but on the other hand commend the action of the council in having such a means of keeping cowa from roaming on the streets, but we do say that it should be in a place where half tbe city would not be kept awake these warm nights by the noise made by tbe cattle impounded therein. A DANGEROUS ERROR. The Desire of tbe People of the Inland Empire t Patronise Portland In dastrles Clicap Fares are a Great Indaement. . There ia at present one error in which our townspeople are likely to be led by the cheap transportation rates offered between this place and Portland. The transportation companies advertise rates which are certainly cheap, while on tbe other hand the Portland merchants claim that by buying from them . the people of this city can . save much money. To this statement an exception must be made. While the pasaenger rates between here and Portland are very cheap, the freight rates on account of competition are cheap in proportion, which enables our merchants to get their goods delivered in the city almost as reasonable as they are unloaded from tbe cars in Portland. - Oar city has an abundance of stores which-are selling goods aa reasonably aa tbey can be sold anywhere. Oar business men are pros peroua and can easily afford, owing to large patronage they enjoy, to sell at a email margin so that the prices of goods in this city are equally reasonable as in anv town on tbe coast. While it will be well for our people to go to Portland and investigate, we sin cerely hope that they will not blindly purchase goods away from home, think ing I bey are- gettine a bargain wbile they can do much better here at home, It is plain that the people of Eastern Oregon cannot do belter in Portland than at home if they consider the freight paid on goods from there, here and the other expenses involved in such a trip. Therefore we exhort our people once more to look before tbey desert home industry to deal with people of a strange town. A Klcn Strike. It has been generally and for a long supposed that somewhere in the vicin ity of this city untold wealth lay:hidden in mother earth and every season would see people prospecting for gold. Day before yesterday two prospectors accompanied by a guide started on1 looking for mineral and when jnst a little ways from the center of the city thev eaw a sign and entered and the first lick were rewarded by demonstrat ing that they had found pay dirt in large - quantities. They immediately staked a claim and came back to Dad Butts omce where tbey paid tbe price asked for and received a deed to tbe property. This same guide, viz : Old Dad Butts, has a whole lot of good pay dirt left for sale and as a sample will quote a couple of pieces for today as follows; A fine fruit farm, near Mosier, one mile from railroad station and 14 miles from this city, consisting of 160 acres all fenced, good house and barn; 500 fruit trees, now bearing; two good springs of water, a fine lot of growing timber, which when cut into cord wood and hauled to the railroad station is worth $2.25 per cord loaded on tbe cars ; all for $300. Some more pay dirt on 11th street, near Lincoln, three blocks from High School, consisting of good four room bouse, new, neat and clean, lot 50x100, city water in house and lot, all for $475. These are Klondlkee, and if you want to take either one of these claims bundle up your blankets, get onto your dog sled and come quick, as there will be a rush. - Matrimonial. Mr. Joseph Kohler, of this city, was united in matrimony to Miss Annie Mell at the residence of Mr. Charles Mell in the Centerville neighborhood on Saturday, July 30, 1893. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. Horn, and was attended by a number of relatives and friends of tbe young couple. Mr. Kohler is a well known young mechanic of this city, who has a host of friends, while the bride is a niece of Mr. Charles Mell, who waa for many years a resident of this city. The many friends of the young people extend hearty congratulations and wish them many happy years of married life. .
