Charles D. Thompson has accepted a
position as principal of the public echool
at Cascade Locks daring the coming
j ear. He will have Miss Erma Benson
for his assistant.
A telegram received from Miss Hose
Micbell last evening, says Portland was
overwhelmingly selected as the nest
place of meeting for tho National Press
Association. Everybody is enthusiastic
and Oregon is fairly in it.
A splendid picture of some of the
American warships was presented to
the new high school today by J. M
Huntington. Conspicuous among the
rest is Admiral Sampson's flagship the
New York, the Iiwa and the pride of
the Pacific coast, the Oregon. It is a
handsome gift and will be hung in the
large room in the high echool.
Today Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Hart, who
live on the bloff, brought in a sample of
peaches grown in their yard. They are
of the Late Crawford variety, and an
usually large fruit, measuring eleven
' inches in circumference, and, is fine fla
vored. The fall fishing season opened at
twelve o'clock last night, but as yet it is
uncertain as to the quantity of fish that
are in the river. Before the 'season
opened fishermen were of the opinion
that there were an unusually . large
number of fish in the river, but so far
the fishermen have not bad sufficient
time to ascertain whether or not this
''assertion is true.
Owing lo a number of changes, which
have to be made in the machinery of the
Inland Flyer by order of the, boiler in
spectors, the new boat will be delayed
several days, so that there is a possibil
ity that the little craft will not be up
before the middle of next week. It was
thought at first that it could be put in
to service Tuesday, but this is at present
considered doubtful.
Yesterday nine care of Eastern Oregon
wool were shipped from the Wasco
Warehouse to Boston. Today eleven
cars more are being loaded at the same
Warehouse tor the same point. At this
rate there is little danger that the
amount of wool on hands at the Wasco
Warehouse will stand in the way of the
immense wheat crop which is crowding
in from all over the interior.
The Umatilla House has an addition
in its bar-room for the entertainment of
guests which is hard to excel. It is a
large Symphonion music box, and along
with being larger, has the finest sound
of any we have ever heard. It is run
' on the principle of all other music
boxes, that is by placing a nickle In the
slot, and the selection given in return is
well worth the investment.
. Yesterday a hobo who was feeling very
much nnder the weather was placed in
the county jail. On examining him
this morning Dr. Hollister found that
be was suffering from a severe attack of
typhoid fever. The jail not being a
suitable place for anyone suffering from
this malady he was sent to the poor
farm this afternoon. He gives his name
as Earl S. Donaldson and is a stranger
in this section.
Monday's Dally.
Saturday morning, while riding in the
country, the 10-year-old son of Mr. Saw
' rence, of Wasco, was thrown from bis
horse and severely braised. He will re
cover, Saturday Dr. Hollister was called to
Monkland, Sherman county, for a con-
" saltation with Dr. Smith, of Moro, on a
' number of typhoid fever cases. Dr.
Hollister informs us that a typhoid epi
demic is raging there at present and sev
. eral deaths have occurred from the same.
. The teachers' institute for Crook
county will be held next week commenc
ing on Wednesday and lasting through
the week. Prof. Wetzel, an experienced
teacher, will be present and conduct the
institute. A great many teachers will
be present. - -
. The six-year-old eon of W. B. Camp
bell, who lives near La Grande, was
kicked in the face by a borso Saturday
morning. The nose was crushed out of
shape and the sight oi one eye endanger
ed. The doctors think that they will be
able to stitch the wounds so that the
little fellow will not be disfigured.
Mr. Elias B. Yaple died last Monday
at 5 a. m., at the reeidence of J. D.
Evans, in Prineville, of heart desease.
Mr. Yaple was born at New Columbus,
Luzerne Co.,' Pens., was forty ; years,
of age and has been a resident of this
county for the past four years during
which time be has been a sober and
with the respect of
all who knew him.
One of the greatest wheat belts in the
world is the Walla Walla county, and
it is going to be truly pictured in the
big building at the oniing Oregon In
dustrial Exposition at Portland, Sept.
22 to Oct. 22. There will be a panoramic
view of all the country penetrated by the
0. R. & N. lines, and they will be true
to nature, and there will be samples of
soils and the staples they produce. " It
will be a handsome and valuable ex
hibit. Hon. J. C. Thompson, ex-representative
ofMorow coonty in tbeOregon legis
lature, now a farmer of Klickitat county,
residing in Pleasant valley, east of Gold-
endale, was surprised last week by a
visit from two brothers from Pittsburg,
Pa., whom he had not seen for twenty-
four years. They were swinging around
the Pacific coast circle with an excur
sion and had but five days to vitit their
brother. Judge Thompson expressed
himself as well pleaeed with the Pacific
coaet.
Mrs. Jacob Craft, an old resident of
Dnfur, died at her home in that City yes
terday, aged about 60. She leaves a
husband, three sen?, William, Joeepb
and Edward, and one daughter, Mr?.
Tfaos. Hawkins, to mourn her loss. She
was a highly respected woman and had
many friends among her large circle of
acquaintances. When the information
concerning her death reached us the
time for the funeral had not been eet but
it will in all probability be held this
afternoon.
The pin boys in the different bowling
alleys haye been kept extremely busy
daring the last week. Good scores have
been made at both the Club and Uma
tilla House alleys. The daily scores at
the former place were as follows : Mon
day, Bradshaw, 55; Tuesday, C. Ballard,
56; Wednesday, Frank Seufert, 60;
Thursday, Ogden, 6; Friday, Sinnott,
57; Saturday, Fred Van Norden, 56;
Sandar, V. Sampson, 61. At the Uma
tilla Houee alleys the following high
scores wero made: Monday, H. Mactz,
74; Tuesday, H. Maetz, 68; Wednesday,
Ejping, 64: Thnreday, Birgfeld, 63; Fri
day, Maetz, 80; Saturday, Mike Spicin-
gerj 63; Sunday, Maetz, 60.
The Dalles Public schools opened this
morning with a total enrollment of 636
pupils. On the first day of last year the
total enrollment was 611, -while in 1896
it was 575. The total enrollment in the
high echool is 73. Although the total
over last year is only 25, still the in
crease shows plainly the steady growth
of the city and everything goes to show
that in a few weeks the number will in
crease wonderfully as there are
always a great many enrolled later in
the school year.'
Today the petition to set aside the
leaee of the Hood Kiver Lumbering com
pany is being considered in the county
court. It appears that the company has
a lease on the stream to use the same for
the purpoee of floating logs down to their
mill. A new corporation has been or
ganized which is endeavoring to secure
a leaee on the river for the same purpose
in order that tbey may put in a large
mill at the town of Hood River. W. H.
Wilson appears for the petitioners while
Huntington and Wilson appear for the
Lumbering Co.
Contracts for material have been let
and all necessary arrangements made
for resuming work on the construction
of fortifications at Fort Stevens. A bat
tery of mortars and several larger guns
bad just been mounted there when the
Spanish war broke out. Now the fortifi
cations are to be extended by the addi
tion of a second eection, for the accom
modation of several more large guns.
Just what is the extent of the addition
to be made to the present fortifications
it is impossible to ascertain, for thoee
who know will not tell; but it will be a
work of some magnitude, and it is un
derstood that a farther addition will be
made in the future, and the fortifications
at the mouth of the Columbia will
ultimately be very formidable.
Tuesday's Dally.
Ladies Aid society of the Congrega
tional church will meet at the residence
of Mrs. E. M. Wilson on Wednesday
afternoon. A full attendance is requested.
The Good Intent society of the M. E.
church will meet at the reeidence of
Mrs. Wm. Michell on Wednesday after
noon instead of Thursday as was an
nounced in yesterday's paper.
Mr. P. Pollen an, a wealthy resident of
Baker City, is building in cpera house
to take the place of the one recently de
stroyed by fire. The building will cost
15,000.
Today about twenty sacks of wool ar
rived at tbe Wasco Warehouse from the
vicinity of Fife, on the John Day river.
This is probably the last wool that will
arrive in The Dalles this eeason.
Tbe clothing of a Huntington bey
named Jennings caught fire the other
day. The child's left side, from the
waist to the shoulder, was badly burned.
Mrs. Jennings was binned on tbe bands
while tearing the clothing from her boy.
Tbe East End tonosorial parlors,
formerly occupied by Mr. Pintler, have
been purchased by a first-class barber,
Mr. Fredrick Blandon, who desires to
meet all the former patrons of that
barber shop and feels safe in assuring
tbem satisfactory work. . -
About twenty thousand pi nods of
freight in the way of merchandise was
shipped from the Wasco Warehouse to
industrious man
day for Dayville. The handling of this
and other freight along with the large
amount of wheat that is crowding in
keeps the employes of that warehouse
exceptionally busy.
Owing to the difficulties experienced
in putting in tbe new steam pipes in the
electric light plant, it was impossible to
have the machinery in a condition to
run last night. Everything has been
thoroughly overhauled, however, and
the lights will be turned on this evening
and no further trouble is expected.
On next Monday, Sept. 19tb, tbe
Leocdor Bros, combined shows will be
in The Dalles,nnd as they come well rep
resented and with a number of new
novelties, everyone will turn out to see
them. This will be the only show of the
kind in Tbe Dalles this year, and it will
be a treat to old and young, especially to
tbe latter, who take great delight in such
performances.
Numerous competent critics who have
beard the playing of the Alpha Mando
lin and Guitar Club state that their
performing has never been excelled in
The Dalles. On Thursday night they
will give their musicala and everyone
should attend in order to see what
splendid local ta'ent The Dallea has, as
well as to hear one of the most select
programs ever rendered in our city.
A. L. Brown and William Tripp, of
Baker City, bad an accident with a 3000
pound road grader Friday morning,
While the machine was being taken up
a steep hill it rolled backwards, pulling
the four horses with it and throwing the
men out. One wheel passed over Mr
Brown's right leg and hipand Mr. Tripp,
whose leg was gashed by a sharp iron,
nearly bled to death before be could etop
the flow of blood. The wounded men
were prostrate for over an hour. Both
men will recover.
The petition which was before the
county court yesterday afternoon re
sulted in the lease formerly granted to
Hood River being revoked and the
stream being declared a public highway,
The petition was strongly resisted by
the Hood River Lumber Company, but
without avail. Since the county court
granted the petition after mature de
liberation tbe matter will be taken to a
higher court, and if the leasers are suo
cessful their intentions are to conetruct
a targe sawmill at once which will fur
nigh employment for numerous work
inamen.
Prof. Daut, the scientific optician, has
put in what is known as the ascetylene
gas lights in bis optical payors, and has
found the eamo to be superior to any
thing yet discovered for the purpose he
desires it. Tbe gas gives a strong clear
light, and his darkroom, which he uses
for testing eyes, is the best on the
Pacific Coast. He is convinced that the
gas will work without fail, and Mr.
Wbealdon,. the insurance agent, says
that having sach a plant in a building
will not increaee tbe rates of insurance
as it is considered perfectly safe in every
regard, and not as likely to be instru
mental in starting fires as is the coal oil
lamps.
Salem people ore at present very busy
making preparations for reaping their
harveet. This does not consist of wheat,
or hope, or prunes, but good, eonnd
gold-standard dollars, which legislators
and others attending the approaching
legislature and state fair will have to
part with for board and lodging. To
have a legislature and state fair running
at tbe eame time will put tbe citizens
of Salem in mind of by-gone days, but
the electric roads have done for. tbe
numerous hacks, and the cry of, "All
aboard for the grounds," will be beard
no more. With a legislature and state
fair in full blast at the eame time, and
tbe certainty of a second legislature
fairly treading on tbe heels of the first,
Salem people may well - believe that an
era of prosperity for the city is dawning,
and it will be remarkable if they do not
reap as rich a harvest this fall and win
ter as has been gathered by tbe farmers
and orchardists of that section.
With Us Aaaln.
Hamlin's Wizard Oil Co. will return
to The Dalles after a long absence aed
commence a series of refined entertain
ments in tbe Baldwin Opera House
next Monday night, September 19th.
The" name is enough to assure our
readers a first class Ehow in every re
spect. They are not classed with medi
cine shows, and give the public a big
show for a very small price. They carry
eleven performers, all new to this city
but Jerry the funny little man forty
inches high, who is a great favorite in
The Dalles. Be sure and see them
Monday night. The admission is only
15 cents.

THE OMAHA EXPOSITION
PRESS DELEGATE'S DESCRIPTION
OF THE SCENES.
A Delightful Circuit From Spokane to
Denver Via St. Paul and
Omaha.
Denver, Colo., Sept. 6, '93.
Editoe Chronicle : ".
In the course of human event?, and oth
ers not worth mentioning, we have at last
arrived at tbe beautiful city of Denver,
which is now fairly pressed with news
paper people, aboil 400, including a por
tion of the O.-epvn delegation, haying
airived on f ha special car yesterday
morning. ui tfi-? many sights to be seen
in this city I will not now speak, nor of
the workings of the convention, but
must say something in regard to our trip
here.
After attending the meeting at Spo
kane, through the kindness of the Great
Northern we were permitted to make a
round-about trip, and thus embarked
for St. Paul, the journey taking three
days and two nights. However, so in
teresting was the trip that we did not
realize its length. . Stopping nt St.- Paul
a day, we viewed the city, calling upon
A. G. Tucker, agent of the Northwest
ern, who received us cordially, and learn
ing that we were anxious to take in the
exposition at Omaha on our way, grant
ed us transportation to that place. This
ronte down was one of the pleasantest
we have had, and we arrived on the ex
position grounds at 10 o'clock on the
morning of the Becond, where we met the
Eastern delegation, composed of about
350 editors and their wives, from every
state in the East, North and South,
among tbem severa1 from Boston.
The latter delegation evidently thought
tho Oregon people a portion of Buffalo
Bill's ehow (which we are to see tonight),
but the gaze of wonder finally changed
to one of admiration (ahem 1) as tbey re
marked : "You young ladies must have
as good educational facilities as vie of
the United States."
As to tbe exposition, where we spent
twodays.it is immenee, the grounds
consisting of about eighty acres,
and covered with the most beautiful
structures, which are patterned after
those of the Columbian exposition. To
describe them would be impossible; but
we must mention the Lagoon, which,
when fairly ablaze with electric lights,
is beautiful in the extreme.
The Oregon exhibits are creating quite
a eensation, the one in charge of Mr.
Doscli, of Portland, where is found a fine
display of Oregon woods, is attracting
throngs of people constantly. Our flax
exhibit is among tbe finest displayed on
the grounds, and is surprising everyone.
But I wish to mention especially our
ftuit exhibit in tbe horticultural build
ing, over which Mr. Courtney, of Port
land presides. While be is doing his
best and has a good display, especially
in prepared fruit, or that in jars, I was
positively grieved to find that Oregon
people had so neglected the freeh fruit
exhibit, especially the fruit men of Hood
River and the vicinity of Tbe Dalles.
The peaches, plums and "pears found
there are but a fourth as large as we see
daily in front of any of our fruit stands,
and although some prunes sent from
Malheur county, and good for that sec
tion, were only a third as large as ours,
they attracted much attention and were
greatly praised.
Much could be done in the way of ad
vertising Eastern Oregon, as thousands
of visitors are on the grounds every day,
If our fruit men would only take a little
interest and send a few boxes of our de
licious fruit, the freight charges npon
which will be paid. All they would
have to do would be to ship tbem to
Levy & Speigel, of Portland, who will
forward them, giving credit to the sender
and tbe section from whence shipped.
Mr. Courtney asked me to urge them to
do so.
We met several Portland people on
tbe grounds, who took the poor wander
ers in ana piloted 4nem around an
around, showing them all tbe sights of
the Midway, which, by the way, is an
exception to the usual midways, being
free from any objectionable features, ex
cept it be the "barkers," who to me are
more interesting than tbe shows.
We ' were fairly tired out Monday
morning and our eye-balls were resting
on our cheeke, while our mowhs stood
open, when we joined the editors, and,
in the special car, came over the C. B. &
Q. to Denver, where we are haying a
good time, of which you will hear later.

THE INLAND FLYER
The Dalles Portland and Astoria Navigation Company's Xew Boat Left Portland
at Eleven O'clock Today, Bound for The Dalles,
From Tuesday's Dally.
This evening the people of The Dalles
will have the opportunity of seeing what
may prove to be tbe handsomest, fast
est and best constructed vessel that has
ever plowed the waters of the upper
Columbia.
A number of the officials and stock
holders of the D. P. & A. N. Company
left on the morning train for Portland,
for the purpose of coming up on the
newly constructed Inland Flyer, on ber
first trip.
This intention was to leave Portland,
at 11 o'clock today, and run the new
craft to this city on her trial trip. A
slight delay, however, prevented them
from leaving until 11 :30.
Th6 trip from Portland, however can
tion in order to make it as strong as
possible so as to stand the etrain of the
treacherous, rapids water below the
Cascades. Fully as much care was ex
ercised in the matter of her machinery,
so that it would be satisfactory in every
regard.
The engines were made to order by
tbe Marine Engine Works in Chicago,
and the boilers are tbe best that can be
secured. They will carry 250 lbs of steam
which is an unusual amount for such
a mall vessel, and with such power and
a deeply set propeller it should be able to
plow through the water at a phenome
nal rafe of speed.
The passenger accommodations on tbe
Flyer are superior to those of any boat
on the river, and it will be a pleasure for
the patrons of the company to make the
trip between this city and Portland on
this elegantly famished craft, as well as
for the hundreds of tourists who make
the trip every year to view the unsur
passed scenery of the Columbia.
' In consideration of the swift water
and stormy weather with which tbe
Flyer will have to contend, the best ma
terial that could be secured was used in
the construction of the vessel, and it is
put together is such a way as to be equal
to any vessel now running on tbe river,
Event Extraordinary
Chaplain C. C. CQeCabe,
BISHOP IN THE M. E. CHURCH,
In answer to an. urgent call by the church in
this city, will deliver his famous lecture on tbe
AT THE
Methodist Church, Sept. 22, at 7:30 p.m.
This continues to be one of the most noted lectures ot the day. It is always
given in the interests of the church, and has made for it more than $150,000.
Tbe price of this lecture in all Eastern cities is $1.00, but we have reduced tho
price to 50 cents, to give all an opportunity to hear it, especially accomodating
those of neighboring towns and counties.
Bishop McCabe sees a bright side in every thing. This lecture is instructive,
entertaining and inspiring. It was Chaplain McCabe that tore up his shirt to make
a flag with which to celebrate the 4th of July in Libby Prison. Hie singing has
inspired many a soul to deeds of heriosm and many a fainting heart to renewed
courage. DON'T FAIL .TO HEAR HIM.

not be taken as a sample of the speed
which the new boat can make, as the
machinery is tight and the eng:neerof
the little vessel will not turn her lose
until the bearings have smoothed off a
little.
The owners of the boat as well as the
builder, Joseph Supple, expect that in
the matter of speed the Flyer will Ear
pass any boat that has ever run cn the
Colombia, and have endeavored by ev
ery possible means to have her fulfill
this hope.
The Inland Flyer is one hundred and
ten feet long, eighteen feet beam, seven
feet hold, and can easily accommodate
over one hundred and fifty passengers.
Great care was taken in its constrnc-
from point of strength.
It was inspected FiiJay' by Local In
spectors Edwards and FnIIer,aiidk owing
to various changes which it was neces
sary to make, tho first trip had to be
put off from Saturday until today.
The Flyer will be in charge of Charles
Alden as captain and Wm. Gillam aa
engineer, both old and reliable river
men, and with such a vessel and com
manded by such men, the patrons of the
D. P. & A. N. Co. need not have any
timidity about traveling on this popular
line.
Since the opening of the fishing season
it has been discovered that not as many
salmon as were originally (wired on are
in tbe river, and the catch so far has
been comparatively light. On tbe lower
river quite an amount of trouble is
caused between the fishermen and the
canners over the price paid for fieh. Tbis
however, is not the case in tbis vicinity,
as the prices paid is satisfactory to the
fishermen, and owing to advance in
canned salmon is equally satisfactory to
tbe operators of canneries. On account
of the unusually large run of last eeason
tho fishermen expected almost too
much, but if tbe present catch keeps np
they will make a good profit.
