Wednesday's Doily
The early morning train was several
hours late this morning having been de
layed by a burned bridge near Pocatella.
Marsh & Medler's drug store in Waeeo
was entered by burglars Monday night,
and the contents of the till were taken.
The burglars affected an entrance
tbrongh a rear window. They secured
less than $5. Nothing besides the till
was molested.
This forenoon John W. Heebner had
his hearing before Justice Bayard, he
. being charged with disorderly conduct
and using obscene langnage in the pres
ence of ladies. He plead guilty of the
charge and was fined fifteen dollars.
The proceedings to put him under bonds
. to keep the peace was continued.
The great Exposition building at Port
land will be a blaze of glory from Sept.
22 to Oct. 22, and there will be the most
beautiful of electric lights ever teen in
the northwest. - All the colors of the
rainbow will be represented, and the
most beautiful effects will result, and it
will be one of the sights of a lifetime.
Mr. Hockman, who was formerly in
partnership with Mr. Gunning, and Mr.
Sandrock who ran a wagon makers shop
in conjunction with' the same, have
eince the fire located in the J. L. Thomp
son blacksmith shop on Third street.
Both gentleman are splendid mechanics
in their respective lines and will gain
their share of the public patronage.
A neater or more commodious milinery
parlor than that of Mrs, C. L. Phillips
could not be fonnd in the state. On ac
count of the large amount of business
Sid consequently the extensive stock ,
which she is forced to carry she has en
larged and remodeled her store. At
present a beautiful collection of ladies
street hats are on display while in a
few days she intends to have a splendid
collection of imported patterns on ex
hibition. On account of the delay in
completing the work which the mechan
ics have been doing ma the building she
is forced to postpone her fall opening un
til next week. It will be a delightful
treat, however, for the ladies to examine
the fine collection of hats which she will
exhibit on that occasion.
The Goldendale public echool will re
open on Monday, Sept. 19th with the
following corps of teachers : Prof. Roush,
principal; J. H. Hill, grammar depart
ment ; Mrs. Lottie .Chappell, let inter
mediate; Misa HattieGunn, 2d interme
diate; Miss Lydia Chaney, 1st primary;
and Misa Mollis Hatton, 2d primary. It
is the intention of the board of directors
to make the echool second to none in the
county, but to do so it cannot be entirely
successful without the co-operation of
parents or guardians. The old part of
the school house is being thoroughly re
PEASE & mays;
paired by James II. Hill and will be
ready in ample time for the opening.
The school census of that district, as
shown by Sopt. Colburn's report is 331,
being larger than any other three dis
tricts in Klickitat county combided.
Later reports from the wrecked steam
er Hattie Belle state that the damage to
the boat is not as serious as was at first
thought. The vessel is said to be in a
better condition than was the Regulator
and if the necessary machinery for re
moving ber from the perilous position
were on the. spot it would be a matter
of but a short time until she could be put
into service again. In our account of
it yesterday a mietake was made in
stating that Captain Hosford was in
command of the vessel and was at the
wheel at the time of the accident, as it
was Captain McNulty who bad charge
of the boat. When we consider,' how
ever, the number of years that Captain
McNulty has run boats on' the Colum
bia without an accident, we will be
forced to say that the fault was not due
to him. The freight was nearly all
gotten off without being damaged.
Thursday's Daily.
A carload of eplendid bucks from the
Baldwin Sheep and Land Co. were
shipped to Wyoming this morning.
J. P. O'Brian, General Superintendent
of the O. R. & N., passed through the
city last evening in his private car on
bis usual inspection tour of the road.
Members of the church and congrega
tion of the Congregational church will
be pleased to know that services will be
resumed next Sunday. Rev. C. F.
Clapp, of Forest Grove, will officiate.
Quite a number of email wheat sales
are being made daily at the Wasco ware
house, however, no large sales have been
reported yet. Today "the warehouse
company are paying 53 cents for first
class wheat.
Shortly before going to press today we
were informed that sparks from the train
had set fire to the Snipes stubble field
below town. Our informant stated that
the fire was burning briskly at the time
and it may cause some trouble before it
is put out.
Owing to the disinterested kindness
and liberality of Mr. Bodd, the pro
prietor of the Commission Co,, the en
tire Cubonicle force ate watermelon
today and all agreed on one point, that
being, that Mr. Bonn's melons are
equal to any in the land.
An Astoria paper which announced
last week that a war to the death be
tween the Astoria railroad and the
steamboat companies operating on the
Astoria route would be inaugurated
Monday of this week, explains" that the
opening of the struggle 1a.been post
poned until next week, and prepares to
still further eat its words by addiog that
in the meanti.nean effort will be made
to compromise the differences existing
between the companies.
That Pprtlanders are an enterprising
people is shown by their promptly put
ting up over $12,000 cash to pay the ex
penses of giving the Northwest such a
grand enterprise as the Oregon- Indus
trial Exposition, which will be a source
of pleasure to all from' September 22 to
October 22. Such fairs cost a heap of
money, but they benefit the whole peo
ple, and Portland does not stand on ex.
pen se where general good is involved.
The music alone will be worth going
miles to hear.
This afternoon Mrs. Fred Houghton
lowered the ladies record at the Club by
the score of 73. In the first eight frames
she made straight strikes, in the ninth
a spare, while in the tenth she made
another spare with one. The highest
individual ladies ecore at the Club was
61, which record has been held for over
a year by Airs. Theodore Seufert. Mrs
Houghton s . score, however, ' gives the
ladies a limit which fhey will probably
not surpass in the near future,
Notwithstanding the high prices de
manded by owners of livestock in Grant
county, large sales continue to be made,
Calves are bringing better prices in some
instances than have ever before been
realized.. Monday C. J. Davis, of Long
Creek, sold 33 head lor $13 per head. Mr,
Davis says he believes that' every - steer
calf in the county can be sold at the
same figure before winter, owing to a
scarcity, and a few cattlemen are hold
ing for that price. At Hamilton, 10
miles west of Long Creek, $10 for heifers
and $12 for steer calves is the prevailing
price.
A bowling tournament for an oveter
supper will be held at The Dalles Com
mercial and Athletic Club tomorrow
evening. It will be a contest between
single and married men, and the teams
will consist of the following : Married
men Judge Bradshaw, Fred Houghton,
A. J. Tolraie, H. M. Ogden, Cbas.
Phillips and Peter DeHuff, while the en
joyers of single blissedness as well as the
ones who will eat an oyster supper at
the expense of theft- friends will be N.
J. binnott, Victor Schmidt, Carey Bal
lard, William Ketchum, Victor Samp
son and Peter Stadelman.
Today two sections of the Parmlee
library arrived' in the city and will be
run in conjunction with The Dalles pub
lic library. Each section contains a
good collection of standard works and
this new addition lo the library will in
crease the-selection of books so that
every reader will find it profitable to be
a member. The library will be run in
the usual place and under 'the supervi
sion of the librarian of the public library.
A change will be made in the time' in
which books will be given out. and in
future the library will be open from
seven to nine on Monday, Wednesday,
Friday and Saturday evening.
We learn today that the county court
has declared the Dechutes river a public
highway and granted permission to the
Sherman . County -Lumber and Wood
Company to construct, maintain and
operate a boom across the said river at
what is known as the J. D. Harris place
near the Free bridge. A large mill will
soon be constructed at the same point
so that the residents of eastern Wasco
and of Sherman county will have an-
abundance of Jutnber to supply all needs
without having to haul it as far as they
do at present. The incorporators and
promoters of the new company are
Johnston Bros, and Willard Vanderpool,
of Dnfur, and Al Lake, of Wamic.
At about 10:45 this morning a num
ber of stockholders of the D. P& A. N.
Co., and about one hundred invited
guests went aboard, the Inland Flyer
and took a trip to Crates' Point and re
turn. The machinery has been put in
better shape eince yesterday and the
little craft made a eplendid run, cover
ing the distance of over four miles, from
the wharf to Crates' Pount, in less than
thirteen minutes. . This run was made
nnder a pressure of 140 pounds of steam j
and when the boat is run nnder a full
head, 250 pounds,' much greater speed
can be made. "The round trip was made
in twenty-six minutes, and as the dis
tance is over eight' miles, it approached
the twenty mile record. Captain Alden
took. the new boat to Portland this
afternoon where some necessary change s
will be made in the machinery before
putting her on tbe regular run.

tional Editorial Association, in recogni
tion of the Oregon Press Association's

The case of John W. Heebner, who wai
charged with having threatened to k 1
his wife, and who also was in danger of
being put under bonds to keep the
peace for his actions, was tried in Justice
Bayard's court today, and resulted in
tne dismissal of Heebner. Roger B.

This evening a farewell party will be
given by the friends of Misa Georgia
Sampson, at the K. of P. hall. Miss
Sampson will leave for St. Louis next
Monday night, where she will visit
relatiAes, an, in all probability, she will

large circle of friends who will be pres
ent at the party tonight to do their part
in making ber farewell a pleasant event.
A telephone message from Portland
last night-stated that the Flyer had ar
rived at 9 o'clock, after an easy ran from
this city. The little boat was run under
a low pressure but in spite of this fact
made splendid time, going from the
Locks to Portland in less than four
hours. At present the' boat is good for
eighteen miles per hour and when tte
machinery is overhauled and some
changes made it will be good for not less
than twenty-five.
Yesterday Major D. E. Hall, claim
agent for the O. R. & N., was in the
city adjusting claims for damage done
by fire on the Snipes and Kelsay ranches
below town. He drove to the scene of
the damage and on arriving found the
fire which we spoke of in yesterday's
issue, raging in the grass and along the
fences. Mr. Hall .at once stripped off
his coat and helped the section hands
put out the fire after which he viewed
the damage and settled the claims satis
factory to all concerned.. Mr. Hall is an
exceptionally genial and accommodat
ing official and gains many friends for
the O. K. st Si. wherever ne goes.
BISHOP M'CABES' LECTURE.
A Clipping; From an Eastern Paper on
"The Bright Side of iife in Libby
rrlnon."
Chaplain M'Cabe delivered his fa
mous lecture on "TheB Bright Side of
Life in LIbby Prison" in the Armory in
Cleveland, Ohio, on Wednesday evening,
May 6. A large audience greeted the
lecturer and enjoyed a great treat.
Although this lecture has been delivered
in all parts of the United States and de
livered many times, it still attracts
multitudes wherever it is announced.
Some go because they have never heard
it, and many go because they have
heard it. The lecture is the same, yet
not the same. The chaplain always
introduces something new. Sometimes,
after delivering a thrilling passage or
relating a stirring story he tells his
audience that this is not'in the Iectnre.
It is an entertaining, amusing, instruc
tive and happy address. But the most
important factor in the lecture is the
personality of the Chaplain himself.
He was quite a young man when he
went through that wonderful and woeful
experience in . Libby. He makes it
quite amusing to look back on his life
in prison from the remote standpoint,
but at the time there could not have
been anything very bright in the long
and weary days and months of unpar
alleled suffering.
CROPS AND WEATHER.
the machinery to cool off before they
could replace the packing.
After the repairs were made, they ran.
to Columbia Beach,' where they re
mained during the night. As the ma
chinery is new and tight, the propeller
was only run 150 revolutions a minute, -whereas
the limited number of revolu
tions is 350. ' The little craft made the
run through the rapids in a magnificent
manner and got along nicely from the
Cascades to this place, reaching the D.
P. & A. N. dock at about 2 :30.
As soon as the boat whistled a large
crowd gathered on the dock and for sev
eral hours the boat waa crowded with
people who were inspecting and admir.
ing the little craft.
It is indeed worthy of admiration,
being well finished, handsomely fur
nished and the neatest vessel through
out that has ever plowed the waters of
the Columbia. The machinery works
heavy at present and until such time as
it is in perfect trim, no attempt will be
made to speed her, as soon, however,
as it is in proper shape she will make a
record that will be little less than
phenominal.
The genial commander, Captain Al
den, of the Flyer, greeted the visitors,
who flocked aboard, in his usual jovial
manner, and it was plain to see that
there was not one among them all who
were not anxious to make the trip down
tomorrow on the beautiful little craft
with the young but popular captain.

GRAND MILLINERY OPENING.
The Host Extensive Stock and Largest
Variety Evrr Offered In The Dalles
at Campbell and Wilsons.
The grand openirg at the Campbell
and Wilson Millinery parlors takes place
this afternoon and tomorrow. - The par
lors are equal to any that we have' ever
seen in The Dalles, and in passing it is
impossible to overlook the neatly draped
windows as well as the many beautiful
pattern bats which are on display.
The prevailing olors in millinery
goods this fall are r.umerous and excep
tionally pretty and at the same timo dif
ferent from those of other years. The
principla ones are royal.cadet, and army
blue, while black and white will also be
the rage in trimmings, and cr.ctns pink
and cerese will also be considered very
stvlish. The shepherdess is the most
I faaMtnaHla hat fnr f.hfl BPAflnn. whilfl
the short back sailors will be worn again
this fall. - ' . ' -
Plumes, tips and mercury winjS will
be used to a great extent in trimming.
The Campbell and Wilson parlors have
the most complete 'line of the aboye
mentioned goods that has ever been in
The Dalles. .
Their parlors are perfectly in accord
with the eplendid stock of -goods they
carry and they extend a general invita

The mean temperature for the week
averaged 71. which was 11 higher than
for the preceding week and 16 higher
than for the corresponding week of last
year. Ihe maximum temperature for
the week was 90, which occured on
Friday and Saturday, and the minimum
was 40, which occured on Tuesday and
Wednesday mornings. No rain f.Il
during the week. Over the Plateau
Region, in the more exposed places,
frost occured on several mornings.
A correspondent at Hood River, Wasco
County, reports: "The warm, dry
weather is repening corn and potatoes;
some corn is already ripe and ready to
be taken to the mill. Watermelons and
squashes are plentiful. Grapes are
plentiful and some varieties are ripe.
Small areas of wheat and oats have
been sown ' in the dust. Clover and
timothy fields make good pasture. The
fruit crops of ail kinds are immense."
From Athena, Umatilla County, comes
this report: "Harvesting and threshing
about done; most of the machinery has
been boused. The grain yield has been
heavy ; very little damage was done by
the hot weather to the spring grain
crop. Potatoes are being dog; they
yield fairly well. Pastures are becom
ing dry."
Throughout the Columbia River Val
ley, harvesting and threshing are about
over and the crews are moving or have
gone to other sections. Throughout
Union, Wallowa, Baker and interior
counties, harvesting and threshing con
tinue with good results. Prunes and
plums are very large crops. Peaches
and grapes are maturing. Apples and i
pears are plentiful.
The hay crop throughout the stock
country is being put away for winter
use. The hay crop, on irrigated land, !
is excellent, but on other land is not
very good. Frosts on the higher places
did no injury except to nip tender
vegetation. The week closes with no
adverse conditions to report. After the
first autumn rainfall, seeding will be
come general.
The weather conditions are at present
undergoing a change and rain may fall
before the next week's bulletin is writ
ten. THE FLYER'S TRIAL TRIP-
Lack of Space In the Vault in the County
Clerk's Office Necessitates a Change.
The question of making sufficient room
for the various documents and records
which have been accumulating in the
vault in the county clerk's office since
1853 is at present a question for the
county officials to decide.
The vault is kept in perfect shape but
there are at present too much .matter
stored there for the limited space afford
ed by the present furniture. More room
is needed and the question - is whether
the vault will be enlarged or new Bteel
furniture put in which will afford ample
room for all documents, records and
everything of that nature that it is neces
sary to put there for the next twenty-five
years at least.
The plan suggested by County Clerk
Kelsay is probably the most feasible of
any yet epoken of, it being to put the
furniture which is at present in the
vault in the county court room and have
the same replaced with steel furniture
which will be perfectly fire proof. The
furniture which will be put in the court
room can then be used for all documents
of which a record is kept in the vaults
and this will give an abundance of room
and, at the same time, place all valuable
papers in much less danger of being de
stroyed by fire.
This is certainly the plan that thould
be adopted, and that it would be approv
ed by every common sense man in the
county cannot be doubted.
