' Yesterday tbe sale of certain property
of the estate of Ollva Esping, deceased,
was confirmed by the county court.
Two carloads or mutton ebeep were
chipped last night by Chas. Butler, to
Seattle. He purchased the sheep from
Tom Harris, of this county.
John Micbell left last night for In
dianapolis Indiana to attend the great
council of tbe Independent Order of
Red men of tbe United States which con'
venes in that city on the 15th. Mr,
Michell is one of tbe two delegates from
Oregon the other being Fred Saylor of
Portland.
The O. R. & N. Co. is shortly to es
tablish all over its system tbe Fleming
mail catcher and deliverer, to take in
and deliver mails at stations where tbe
mail train does not stop. This catcher
baa been in use for some time on many
Eastern roads, but the O. R. & N. is the
first system to introduce it on this
v -coast.
A telegram received from Miss Rose
Micbell today dated at Denver, Colo
rado, informs ns that their party, con
fisting of Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Tozier
of Portland' and Misses Rose and
Annette Michell of Tbe Dalles, has
reached Denver this morning. She
- stated they were baying a splendid
time and would be home about Sep-
. leoiDerzutn.
The man Revolan, who was arrested
, Sunday for defacing- property and for
assault with a dangerous weapon, bad
. his bearing in Jnstice Bayard's court
this morning. . He plead guilty to tbe
crime of simple assault end was fined
$20,or sentenced ten days in the county
jail. As be did not have tbe necessary
amount with which to pay the fine he
was committed to jail. , '
Wilbur S. Yearsley, manager of tbe
. Pennsylvania Mortgage Investment Co.,
who has been traveling in tbe Palouse
country since the late rains, says the
wbeal has not been damaged, and it no
- more rain fallB there will be little if any
"off grade" wheat because of the rain.
A few days of warm sunshine will place
tbe grain in as good condition as before
tbe rain fell. -. - ,.
- Big Crook county products exhibited
at Prineville last week were a beet
weighing 4)4 pounds, a radish one foot
long and ten inches in circumference,
potato weighing seven pounds, and a
, span of 4-year-old horses, one of which
weighed 1555 pounds and tbe other 1455
pounds. Tbe agricultural products were
raised on the farm of Mrs. C. W. Carey.
The horses are owned by R. M. and
F. A. Powell.' ; - .
. The creamery on the Wenas, near
North Yakima, belonging to E. E.
James, was totally destroyed by fire tbe
other day.- Earnest Fear, who was in
charge, had built a fire and was at
breakfast when the building caught,
probably from a spark from tbe fire.
Tbe stock . on band, machinery and
buildings were totally destroyed. The
property was insured for $1400 which
only partially covers the loss. ; '
David Barry of Mosier who was
charged with assault with a dangerous
weapon was discharged this afternoon
in Justice Bayard's court.-He after
ward plead guilty of assault and bat
tery and was fined $20 which he payed.
There was alack of evidence in the case
there being no one present at tbe time
of the trouble except the plaintiff Mr.
Bryant and the defendant. Sinnott and
Sinnot appeared for the .defendant
while A. A. Jayne was attorney for tbe
state.
There have been so many complaints
about the treatment of the Oregon re
cruits at San Francisco that Governor
Lord decided to go down there and in'
vestigate for himself and get at tbe bot
torn facts. Accompanied by Colonel B
B. Tuttle, adjutant-general, be left
Salem on last night's train for the Pre
sidio. He will have tbe contract of find'
ing cut why' these recruits were not sent
on to Manila to join their regiment, in
stead of being left to chill on tbe sand
hills of San Francisco.
Wind and fire combined to threaten
Portland with destrnction yesterday,
but though they kept the fire depart
ment on the move, and tbe public on
the anxious seat the best part of the
day, they failed to destroy anything
more valuable than an acre or two of
brush, part of an elevated roadway and
a rubbish pile. Heavy clouds of smoke,
driven by a 30-mile gale from a blazing
forest east of Vancouver, made the at
mospnere thick and etining, and gave
an ominous aspect to the local conflagra
tions. It was an ideal day for a fire,
and had not Portland been blessed with
a department that knew its business, a
board of underwriters might have con
vened today and remained in seeson for
several weeks adjusting loses. A report
was current in Tbe Dalles that Vancou
ver was destroyed by fire early this
morning, but the report lacks confirma
tion. .-, - .
The County Commissioners for Wasco
County are in session in the county
conrt room today. Judge Mays, D. S.
Eimsey and W. C. Evans being present.
Among other matters an appropriation
of $50 was made from the special road
fund for tbe improvement of. roads in
district No. 6. In tbe matter of 3. E.
Johnston and others for a connty road
the time of paying damages was ex
tended to the first day of tbe November
term. As D." Smith, Superintendent of
district No. 5 has moved out of the
county, William Kennedy was appointed
to nil tbe vacancy.
It Is .evident that numerous petty
thieves-are Operating in this city judg
ing from the number cf small articles
which are missed by many of our citi
zens. Charles Bayard informs ns that
while he was in camp near Hood River
numerous articles were stolen front his
premises. Among other things a shovel,
step ladder and a rope from a flagstaff
and other articles which be left laying
around his home. He has definite
knowledge as to where - the stolen ar
ticles, are and wishes . to inform the
offenders that If tbey are returned no
action will be taken, otherwise be will
proceed to enforce the law and have the
transgressors put where ' tbey justly
belong. .
A pleasant farewell party was given at
I. C. Nicklesen's residence last evening,
A large number of friends of Mies Edie
Fisher, who will leave for Portland to
morrow where she will make her future
home, were present The evening
throughout was spent in such' a pleaeant
manner that the young lady in whose
honor tbe party was given could not
help thinking that, with so many
jovial friends, Tbe Dalles is certainly an
acceptable place in which to live and
one to which she could, at any time, pay
a visit and meet with a hearty welcome.
The only disagreeable feature of the
evening was tbe parting, and Miss Fish
er's many friends hope that - she will
favor us with, at least, an occasional
visit.
Thursday's Daily. .. .
At a meeting ci the school board on
Tuesday it was decided that in addition
to the studies taught formerly in tbe
high school, one class in Latin would be
added. It will be optional with the stu
dents, however,' as tbey will be at lib
erty to use their own discretion about
taking up this branch.
The Chronicle force thankfully ac
knowledge the kindness of Mr. Charles
Craig for bringing them a half dozen
fine water-melons from his farm on
Chenoweth creek today. Although we
have been unable to devonr all the mel
ons up to tbe hour of going to press,
still we found those which we have earn
pled to be unsurpassed in bringing to
light the negro propensities of the vari
ous members of the force.
Last evening Ed Sharp and family,
accompanied by Harry W. Kelly and
Geo. R. Campbell, returned from a sur
veying trip in the coast, range. " Mr.
Sharp had a government, contract to
survey certain lands in that range, and,
owing to the difficulty of tbe undertak
ing, was unable to finish it during the
summer of '07, and had to return this
summer to complete the wortu They in
form us that the land in that eection is
thickly wooded and of little use for
cultivation. ' .
This evening : the Montana sheep
buyer, Mr. Frazier, will ship about 350
head of splendid bucks to Montana.
Tbey were . purchased by him from
Thomas Hamilton and although we
have been unable to learn tbe exact
quotations tbey must, on account of
their splendid quality, have demanded a
high figure. Tbe large number of high
quality sheep that are being shipped
from this state -to points east speaks
well for the enterprise of Oregon sheep
men in keeping tbe best grades that
can be bad.
In all probability there will be no
boat from Portland to this city today, as
tbe crank shaft on the Sarah Dixon
broke on the trip down yesterday. Tbe
shaft was cracked for several months bnt
was not considered dangerous. Yester
day it was noticed that tbe break was
serious enough to make it dangerous in
swift water, so that it was considered
best not to run the boat until anew
abaft was put it. It was the company's
Intention to get another boat today, but
it is feared this cannot be done on cuch
short notice. .--.'."i.: -'-: -
Captain J. W. Lewis returned this
morning from a business trip to Sher
man county. He informs us that it will
take several weeks to finish threshing in
that section, and confirms the report as
to the partial .failure of the combined
harvesters which tbey are endeavoring
to introduce into that section. : He does
not think tbey will prove a success when
given a fair trial, and believes the farm
ers will be forced to resort once again to
the more primitive means of harvesting
with the headers and reapers.
. Tbe price of Columbia river canned
salmon has gone up at a rapid rate the
last few weeks, and owing to the short
age in this summer's pack the supply
will be inadequate to meet the Jarge de
mand. Seufert Brotheru inform ns that
they have disposed of tbeir entire stock
of canned salmon, some of which they
have bad stored for two years, and could
easily find market for much more than
they will be able to ' can during tbe fali
season. Numerous buyers are desirous
of contracting for the . fish before tbe
season opens at . ajl, while the retail
merchants are laying in a large stock for
fear that a shortage may be experienced.
Friday's Daily.
A carload of work horses were shipped
to Hood River this ruornin;, which will
be used in construction work on tbe O.
R. &N.
There will be no electric lights Sun
day night as the plant will have to
close down while new steam pipes are
being put in.
Eighty-four head of mixed cattle were
snipped to Troutdale by Roy Grimes
today. Tbey were purchased from Mr.
Burgess of Bake Oven.
A letter from Prof. A. W. Lundell
announces that he will return on or
about the 20th inst., and that he will be
pleased to meet his friends and pupils
in voice culture, ' ... 4t
Work has been begun tearing down
tbe old buildings and clearing the
ground for Frank Menefee's new resi
dent on the bluff. From what we un
derstand concerning tbe construction of
tbe new building it will be a credit to
that part of town.
: The mercantile business at Boyd,
formerly owned by C. H. Southern, and
for the past year, conducted by R. D.
Butler, will from, now on be run by
Southern & Butler, who have formed a
co-partnership. Thty respectfully so
licit a share of the public patronage. .
- '
A cunning coyote carried eff a bunting
coat in the pockets of which were two
grouse, near Wilbur, the other day. A
Pendleton sportsman bad laid the gar
ment on the ground, and while waiting
ior bis train wandered away some little
distance. When he returned the coat
was gone, and upon search being made
it was found some distance., away,
Feathers were strewn all around, but
the birds were gone. ",
Yesterday Constable Sweat of Arling
ton, arrived in this city after a man by
tbe name of Harry Elmer for whom a
warrant was ; sworn - out in Gilliam
county for the larceny of a saddle,
Deputy constable. Butts succeeded in
finding Elmer and placing him under
arrest, and Mr. Sweat left last night
for home-fully convinced that the of
ficers in Tbe Dalles were bard to beat
when it comes to the matter of capturing
a crimnal. - . -.
J. O. Mack, secretary of tbe agricul
tural society for tbe second district, will
make Thomas Hudson's office his bead
quarters until after tbe fair Anyone
caring to consult Mr. Mack on any sub
ject can find him at tbe above named
place. He informs us that the premium
list is in the bands of tbe state printer
and will be here in a short time. Every
thing at present points, to one of the
most successful meetings that has ever
been held in The Dalles.
Last evening J. B. Frazier,' better
known among his friends in The Dalles
as the "Montana Kid," left with eight
cars of bucks for Billings, Montana. The
sheep were purchased from the Baldwin
Sheep & Land Company and Thomas
Hamilton. At Willows, they will pick up
seven more cars of sheep which will also
be shipped to Billings. This will prob
ably be Mr. Fraziers last trip to Oregon
this season and the many warm friends
the "Montana Kid" has made while
here are grieyed to have him go.
Accompanying ;the letter. which we
publish today from Roy Ballard was a
egal paper which Mr. Ballard says be
found in an old vault at Cavite. Al
though we were unable to translate it
fully, we judge that it contains orders
from some high authority, and as it is
dated 1762 it is certainly a curiosity on
account of its extreme age, being over
136 years old. Tbe paper is unruled
and the writing very distinct and neat.
Bat on account of age it has a tendancy
to crack on being exposed to the air, and
in order to keep it perfect great care
must be taken in handling it. .
Today Seraphine Nice, against whom
a charge of larceny of a horse has been
brought in by Andy Willis of Grass
Vulley, is being tried in the justice
court." It appears that from what Mr.
Willis informs as -about the case that
tbe horse strayed away from bim and
that he sold the horse to someone else.
Tbe case was still being tried, at tbe
time of going to press so that the result
cannot be given today. H. S. Wilson
and Sinnot and Sinnott appear for tbe
defendant and A. A. Jayne for the prose
cation. 1
Mrp. Robert Powell, of Ritter, was
seriously injured In a runaway accident
Tuesday evening while en routh with
her husband to Long Creek. A portion
of the harness gave away, allowing the
tongue of the wagon to drop to the
ground, and while Mr. Powell was in
the act of repairing it the horses started
to run, knocking him down and over
turning the vehicle. Mrs. Powell was
thrown from the wagoa to Ihe ground,
and suffered a fractured nose and a
terribly lacerated face and head. She
will recover. Mr. Powell was not seri
ously injured. .-. - : -
Last evening Mr. W. A. Johnston re
turned from a business trip to Portland
having in his possession what be - de-
claies to be a ring made of Klondike
gold which was dug by his friend, C. W.
Stone formerly of this city, and made
into the ring by this, same well known
jeweler. It is a plain band of gold ex
cept, on tbe place where the setting is
in other rings, it contains the raised
lettlers "Klondike" in two grades of
gold which on account of .the difference
in tbeir colors make it very odd. The
ring was sent from Dawson with Mr.
bmith, of Arlington, who recently re
turned. '
Threshing crews report that the yield
of wheat has been greater throughout
all of Klickitat county than was ex
pected by farmers. Peter Anderson,
who has a farm east of Goldendale, ex
pected a machine measure of 1700
bushels of marketable wheat. When
threshing was completed, Mr. Anderson
j)und he had 2500 bushels of Al wheat.
Mr. Collins harvested 700 buehels more
than he expected. Others who are re
ported to have harvested more than
they expected are: John Burgen, Scott
Warwick, Moore & Son, C. A. Clausen,
M. J. Healey and Hon. J. C. Thompson.
A great scarcity of harvest hands is re
ported in the Klickitat valley. Some of
the threshing crews are reported to be
doing double work.

county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not-exist, and that all taxes should bo
collected. On account of hard timea
in the past the county court Las shown
lmiercy to taxpayers, but that leniency
has recched the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents tor
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to ..
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property. With a bountiful crop now -in
sight, there can no longer be any rea
sonable excuse for the non-payment of
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec
tion thereof, and has no option in tba
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure an-1 sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

Very Encouraging Reports From All
Farts of The Interior Weather As
sumes Its Autumn Characteristics.
Showers with thunder, or the result
of thunder-storm conditions, occurred
on August 29th to 31st and September
3d, amounting to from a trace to 0.23 of
an inch. Tbe mean temperature for the
week averaged 60, which was 10 lower
than for the preceding week and 3
higher than for the corresponding week
of last year. During tbe same week of
last year, heavy and general rain fell.
The highest temperature dnrinir the
week was 78, on Friday; the lowest
40, on Sunday morning.
In Union county, considerable grain
is still to be cut; elsewhere it is practic
ally all cut, though not threshed. In
sections threshing is well along, in others
it is about finished, .Reports continue
as to the favorable yield. One corres
pondent reports: "The grain crop this
year, in quality and yield, is the best in
fourteen yeare." Many correspondents
report that tbe grain crop is up to all
expectations, and as expectations were
bigb, a good crop has resulted. Fall
seeding has commenced. Some are
seeding in the dust, in the hope that tbe
rains will give it proper position.
One correspondent reports: "Prunes,
early apples, blackberries and peaches
are abundant, and are being snipped to
a considerable extent. Threshing is
over, and a larger grain crop than usual
has been stored away. Baled hay and
straw, potato patches, cornfields, clipped
meadows, and numerous fat cattle
wandering over the opens, all indicate
comfort for man and beast during the
coming winter."
Another reports : "Clover and alfalfa
have been cut twice, and are growing
again for pasture." . '
Fruit is maturing and being shipped.
Prune drying is active. Melons and
peaches are good crops. There are no
adverse reports from field, orchard or
range. Crops are good and tbe people
are satisfied with the results. Within
a few weeks all crops will be gathered,
and work commenced for next year's
crops. . -
The weather conditions have assumed
tbeir tbeir characteristics. Cooler nights
with warm days will prevail, until the
winter storm conditions appear.

Deafness Cannot be. Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of tbe mucous lining of the Eua- -tachian
Tube. When this tube is in
flamed yoa have a rumbling sound or -imperfect
hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine casas out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in- '
flamed condition of tbe mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure.- Send for circulars; free.
