A dispatch from Spokane says that
the Northern Pacific is considering plans
for building a short line from Missoula,
Montana, to Paeco, Washington, which
would save 100 miles in the overland run
The Great Northern has made a cut
of oncente per mile in passenger rates on
all lines in Washington and Idaho,
This cut was made to meet that ot a
similiar kind recently made by the
Northern Pacific.
Tbe ierry at this place is keeping np a
lively run these days, bringing forth and
back wheat teams, and a line of them
may be seen at any lime of the day on
either side of the river awaiting their
turn to be feme J across. .
The ranges are drier and nearer eaten
off than ever known before and stock of
. all kinds unless fed during the winter
will certainly die. In fact, many horses
and cattle are going into the winter
-'spring poor." Kain usually falls in
September in sufficient qualities to start
the grass but it failed this year, and
stock men are threatened with serious
loss. Crook County Journal
The scores of the different teams in

E. E. Lytle and D. C. O'Reilly, presi
dent and general manager of the Colum
bia Southern By., were in town last
week looking over tbe situation with a
view to putting in a railroad from Gol
dendale to Lyle. They asked the citl
zens for a little time in - which to make
them a proposition and have now placed
- their engineers in the field going over
the proposed route. Sentinel
A stranger in tbe city created a sensa
tion last night by olaiming he had been
held np near tbe depot and robbed of
$35. However, upon investigation the
nightwatchmen and marshal are inclined
to believe that it must have been one of
our defunct lamp posts which held him
up, and that be had deliberately spent
the money for that which caused him to
need such assistance. t
Yesterday afternoon the first public
meeting ot the literary society of the
High school was held at the school build
ing. These meetings are generally held in
the evening, but on account of the lights
not being ready .yesterday's meeting was
held in -the afternoon. Last year this
society was one of the most interesting
and profitable features in connection
with the school, and will no doubt prove
as beneficial this year.
At the residence of Judge Gray near
Stevenson October 12, 1898, Judge Gray
officiating, Miss Lutie Sanford, of Marr's
Landing, Washington, and Mr. Herbert
I. Farrington, of The Dalles, Oregon.
Only a few invited guests were present
on the occasion. The bride is a well
known joung lady of this county and
daughter of Mr. N. B. Sanford: the
groom is a farmer Iiving'on Fifteen-mile
creek near The Dalies. The happy
couple left for Portland this morning.
Stevenson Pioneer.
We have been'req nested to gently bint
to any ladles who may be considering
the advisability of accepting a proposi
tion to be married at tbe pavilion during
the fair, that tbey take precaution lest
the would-be sharer of their joys and
sorrows procure tbe license in Skamania
county.- - The experience of a couple wko
some months ago were married in our
city is proof positive that to be married
legally in Wasco county, the license
mast be procured in the same county.
- Word was received by Mr. Merrill this
morning that Rne Newland, who former
ly owned the White House saloon in
this city, died Thursday at Pullman, he
having gone there abont a month since,
hoping to regain his health.' Mr. New
land, who has many friends in The
Dalles, has been troubled for some time
with Blight's dieeaee, and Mr. Merrill,
who nursed him during his illness here,
informs us that a cold, which ha con-1
tracted after reaching Pullman, hastened
his death.
Mr. S. L. Brooks, formerly president
of The Dailee & Columbia Kiver Com
pany, of the Regulator steamer line,
running between Portland and The
Dalles, ia visiting in Astoria. Mr. Brooks
is accompanied by Mrs. .Brooks, Miss
Mabel C. Cowles. and Mrs. E. V. Can-
field, of St. Paul, Minnesota. The party
took a trip to II waco yesterday morning,
60 1 returning to the city in the evening.
Mr. Brooks says the people of The Dalles
are in sympathy with Astoria in the
common point controversy, and look
upon this city as the natural shipping
point for Inland Empire products. As
torian. "
Thursday Portland babies had their
innings at the exposition, when eighty-
five of the sweetest little darlings in the
city were wheeled about by their proud
maternal ancestors, for fear of whom the
judges moved around incognito. So dif-
flcult was tbe task assigned them that
after wondering, admiring and fondling
the whole eighty -five they finally decided
to 6ive ten Prize8 and would have, been
gld to give each baby preent a prize.
No encounters among the mothers are
reported, and every unsuccessful one no
doubt went home with contempt for the
tabte of tbe unknown judges, at the
same time satisfied that it didn't require
a measley little prize to prove that hers
was the prettiest, sweetest and smartest
baby in the city.
Monday's Dally.
The sheriff reports having collected
taxes amounting to $3,575.97 within the
tbe past fifteen days.
Yesterday afternoon a baptismal ser-
vice occured on the banks of Mill creek
near tbe garrison, when Rev. Wood bap
tized a convert by immersion.
Yesterday the Dalles City made
through trip to Portland and the Sarah
Dixon came up to The Dalles. Many
who have been attending the exposition
took advantage of the opportunity lore
tarn home.
It is expected now that the hull of the
Regulator will be launched next Satur
day, and will be brought to The Dalles
immediately; so that we may probably
see a force of men at work on her some
time next week
Yesterday morning Merlin Darland
and Miss Edna Stimson were married at
Goldendale, and in tbe afternoon came
over to The Dalles, leaving for Portland
on the boat this morning,
High scores at the Club last week
were as follows: Monday, N. J. Sinnott,
58; Tuesday, A. Huott, 59, Mrs. T. J
Seufert, 50; Wednesday, Vic Sampson,
52; Thursday, A. Huott, 67, Mies Nona
Rucl', 56; Friday. Bradsbaw, 55; Satur
day, N. J. Sinnott, 53, Dawson, 53.
What about the street sprinkler? This
subject may be a long-continued one,
and may even be termed a "chestnut ;"
but it cannot be called dry. Certainly
it is eAident that during the fair, at
least, it would not be amiss to have that
ever-welcome perambulator on the
streets occasionally, particularly on Sec
tnd street. .
The phonograph concert given by Mr,
Beard Saturday night at Fraternity hall
for the benefit of the G. A. R. and W
R. C, was greatly enjoyed by a fairly
good audience. . The phonograph is the
largest now in ubb, and selections by
Sousa'a and Gilmore's bands, solos and
quartets, and speeches by some of our
famous orators could be heard as dis
tinctly as though they had been deliv
ered in person.
A Prineville paper says: "Mrs. M. A.
Moore made a score of 67 -at Moore's
alleys last Sunday night. We believe
this to be the highest record for ladies
in Oregon. The scores stood one in the
1st, followed by eight strikes, and one
pin each with the last two . balls."
Evidently our Prineville friends have
not kept their eye on the lady bowlers
in Tbe Dalles, for Mrs. F. L. Houghton
recently made 73 at the club alleys, Mrs.
T. J. Seufert and Mrs. G. C. Blakeley
holding the record at 61 previously.
Tbe funeral of Mrs. Alice Schutz was
held at the Episcopal church this after
noon at 2 o'clock, - Rev. DeForest con
ducting the service, which was very
im press, ve. "Nearer My God to. Thee"
and "Jesus Lover of My Soul" seemed
doubly sweet and solemn as sung by the
choir upon this occasion. The pall
bearers were chosen from pioneer resi-
dentB of our city and were Mee9rs.I. N.
bargent, M. M. Uushwg; J. Dougherty,
J. B. Crossen, G. A. Liebe and Geo.

Saturday at 7 :45 p.m. tbe extra session
of the Oregon legislature adjourned sine
die. It was expected ' that an adjourn
ment' would be bad by 11 in tbe morn
ing, bnt it was delayed on account of tbe
appropriation bill. A special Southern
Pacific train conveyed most of the mem
bers to Portland immediately after ad
journment. It is said they were not
overly flush, however, - most of tbem
looking for. a loan until the governor
chose to sign the aforesaid appropriation
bill. As far as we have heard, tbe mem
bers from oar city were not compelled to
walk the ties, but came op on their
passes, and therefore on the train.
TheO. R. & N. Co., have offered to
1 give tbe people along its line between
this city and Hood River and Arlington
and Tbe Dalles an opportunity to at-
tend the district fair by making a round
trip rate of one fare during the week.
The D. P. & A. N. Co. makes the same
rate pver its line from river points be
tween this city and Hood River. The
latter company has also made an offer
of a round trio to -Portland to the
couple who decides to have tbe knot tied
at tbe fair. No better inducement
could be offered than to have tbe priv
ilage of starting on the matrimonial
voyage by enjoying a trip down tbe Col
urobia river. '
. ' Tuesday s Daily. k
The D. P. & A. N. Co. are beginning
to "make up" and are now having the
face of their warehouse rouged.
A band of cattle arrived at tbe stock
yards from Prineville today, which will
be shipped to Omaha by Z. M. Brown
Three carloads of horses arrived this
morning, and horses galore are- to be
found at the fair grounds This is to be
tbe "horsiest" fair yet given, -as - well as
the raciest.
Hon. W. P. Eeady, who is interested
in the Ocboco mines, came up from Port
land last night to superintend the ship
ping of a stamp mill and aseay outfit to
that district. He returned to his home
this morning
J. Kocher has about completed the
foundation for tbe new brick building
of Mays &. Crowe, and having obtained
the contract- for tbe brick portion, will
soon begin work. Saturday the contract
for tbe frame work was let to H. Glenn
Our marshal informs' ns that the city
will be free of fakirs during tbe fair, he
having made it a point to allow no il
legitimate games to be carried on on tbe
streets. Every endeavor is also being
mado to prevent robberies and such
depredations.
- It would be well for our citizens to
leave tbe latch string inside for a few
days. " Not tfiat we are not sociably in
clined; but, as ia always the case during
a fair,' the town is infested with touts
trampsand many others whom we would
not care to welcome to our homes and
who, like some of our lady visitors
would rather call when we are away.
A very neat little fair program has
been printed at The Chronicle office
for Secretary Mack. - It contains the
programs for the evening entertainments
at the pavilion, and tbe different races
for each day, with the horses entered
and the names of the ' owners. These
will be for sale every day on the streets
and at the grounds for only five .cents.
Tbe street sprinkler evidently sub
scribes for The Chronicle, for after hav
ing such a cordial invitation last evening
to make itself numerous, was according
ly out bright and early this morning,
And we all knew it bad been here, for
we saw its "foot-printa" on the sands,
which reminded ns that we could make
our way through the city without being
stifled with dust.
Portland ia determined to secure the
next convention of the National Educa
tional Association. The executive com
mittee will visit the city today and a
meeting of the citizens will be held to
consider tbe subject. Portland will no
doubt realize her expectations in this
direction, and with the meeting of the
National Press Association next year
will make herself famous, as well as ad
vertise Oregon. ,"
Probably one of tbe most remarkable
horses giving exhibitions in the world
today is the great guideless pacer Del
Norte. This wonderful little pacer not
only holds the world's record of 2 :04V
but is tbe only horse that has ever
pacedjfour exhibitions better than 2 :05 at
this way of going. He goes without
rider or driver, and it Is very remarkable
to see him come back at tbe tap of the
bell and exert his every nerve to beat
his pace maker. Del Norte will give an
exhibition Saturday, the last day of the
fair. Do not miss seeing this wonderful
performance.
Mrs. Dr. Frank, tbe eye specialist of
San Francisco, who has decided to locate
in our midst, has been pressed into pro
fessional service and will locate all visi
onal defects, such as hyperopia, myopia,
presbyopia and ' astigmatism in all its
stages, purely on scientific principles,
accurate and correctly. Occulist pres
criptions carefully compounded. - Her
methods are the best asd moBt modern
used by tbe profession in large Eastern
cities and Europe. ' You will be able to

DEATH OF MRS. ALICE SCHUTZ
Pneumonia Bemoves from Oar Hldst
'" - Kespected Pioneer.
Another of the pioneer women of Ore
gon passed away at the home of Mrs
Storrs today at noon when Mrs. Alice R,
Schutz succumbed to a severe attack of
pneumonia. For the past ten days she
has been very ill, and It was feared from
the start that it would be impossible for
her to conquer the disease.
Mrs. Schutz was born in Canada about
65 years ago, and came to Oregon in the
early 50s, living first at Cascades, then
at a farm on the Deschutes, and after
ward coming Tbe Dalles, where she has
lived moet of the years since, with the
exception cf some time spent at Camp
Watson. . - '
' Her first marriage was with Mr,
Caleb, their daughter, Mrs. Ella Silver-
tooth, now residing in Antelope. Some
years after Mr. Caleb's death, Bhe was
manied to Captain Cowne, and to them
two eons were born, Walter and Will,
whose homes are now at Camp Watson
Coming to The Dalles after tbe Captain's
death she was here wedded to Emil
Scbutz, who was so well and favorablv
known in The Dalles and the surround
ing country, and who died about four
years ago.
. Since Mr. Schutz death she has made
her home most of the time with her
children and some months since came to
this city to visit Mrs. Storrs, at whoee
home she was taken sick, which sickness
terminated in her death.
Mrs. Schutz has many warm friends
in The Dalles, who have taken the great
est interest in her welfare and given her
every assistance possible during her ill
ness, esteeming her for the many acts of
kindness which have been characteristic
of her life in The Dalles.
Word has been sent to her daughter
and two sons, who will no doubt arrive
in time tor the funeral, which, if other
arrangements are not made, will be held
Monday at 2 . o'clock at the Episcopal
church.
MORE LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT-
The Conncll Holds a Meeting; to Disease
The Light Question.
The arc light question grows brighter
and brighter, and we hope wilfsoon be
come bo brilliant that our streets will
feeUits effect, and our citizens revel in
the-rays which it caste.
Last night H. L. Kuck, H. Clough, F.
Gunning, C. F. Stephens, A. Keller,
M. Barnett and W. H. Butts met as
councilmen, presided over bv Mayor
Nolan, to consider and pass an ordinance
authorizing and directing the mayor and
recorder to enter into a contract with
tbe Electric Light Company to light our
streets with arc lights. The ordinance
which bad been drafted by the recorder
was read, adopted, placed on its final
passage, and last, but not least, carried.
The ordinance, which Dalles people
are so interested in, provides for tbe fur
nishing by the Electric Light Company
of no less than fifteen arc hghts of not
less than 2000 candle power, to be burned
all night, and for which tbe city is to
pay$10.60 a month for each light. The
contract is to be" entered into for two
years. . . . "
This ordinance having been carried by
the council certainly makes matters look
encouraging,' . although, of course.
there's manv a slip" twixt the ordi
nance and the lights. If the contract is
entered into it will probably be done in
the course of ten days, and from that
time nntil the lights can be placed will
require about a month, as tbe company
will be compelled to send East for a con
denser. However, if we can by faith see
their glimmer in the distance, our path
way will be brighter, so sayeth tbe poet,
and so say we, who have been in dark
ness so long.
During the light meeting it was re
ported to tbe council that in tbe mean
time the path of the traveler through
the burnt district is beset with many
obstacles, and even when he is on his
best behavior, it is almost impossible to
find his way from Federal street to the
East End. The marshal was therefore
ordered to request property owners in
that district to place lights oh their
premises. .
The matter of license on phonographs
was also brought up and it was ordered
that tbe license be reduced from $15 to
$5 during fair week. The meeting was
then adjourned. ' ---

' OUTLOOK FOR THE FAIR.
Opening; -Day Tomorrow Many Horses
on Hand and Everything; LoTely.
The streets of The Dalles today show
very plainly that something out of the
usual order of things is about to take
place. Many strange faces are to
seen on tbe streets ; the corners begin to
be occupied by games of different de
scriptions,, and fakirs of all sorts and
conditions are making their appearance,
At the pavilion the work ot prepara
tion for and the reception of exhibits is
well under way, and somehow it looks
as if this were to be the banner year of
the pavilionwhich is to be under th
direct supervision of Miss Bessie Lang
as entry clerk, assisted by Misses Mar
den and Louise Rucb. No charge is
made for epace and entries should be
made at once. The ladies are reminded
that premiums of as much value are of
fered in the pastry department as for
that of any other exhibit, although
former years it seems that little atten
tion has been given this particular line,
At the track things are booming,
This morn:n j the following well known
racers arrived from LaGrande : Trotters
and pacers Atlus, Ben Bolt, Helen
Alta Dell, Almolene and Ida Mc. ; run
ners Juneau, Joe Cotton, Little T. G.
St. Apollo, Granger. Uncle True, Du
praise, oionaay. ana Midas. About io
horses are expected, three carloads ar
riving tonight.
Among the greatest attractions at tbe
grounds Saturday will be the exhibition
of Del Norte, the-champion guideless
pacer, which, without a driver, makes
the mile in 2:04. This is something
new in the racing line and created quite
sensation at LaGrande. Altogether
matters look promising for our fair this
year, and if the weather is only what
we all hope for, this will be the crown
ing year of all.
FUNERAL OF PRIVATE FIELDS.
Touching; Account of the ttarlal
of a
Company L. Member,
A letter from Manila, September 8,
which was published in the Oregonian
contains the following touching account
of the . illness and death of William
Fields. He was made commissary clerk
at Camp McKinley, which position he
held until July 15, when he joined the
hospital corps in order to assist in nurs
ng bis comrades ill of typhoid fever,
From overwork and exposure he finally
succumbed to the disease, dying a few
days later. .The correspondent says:
'No more faithful soldier ever lived ;
he gave up his life for his comrades,
We went over to Cavile, and buried him
on Sunday. He was a member of Co
L., and 'the entire company, off duty,
under the first sergeant, was present
We arrived at Cavite about 10 o'clock,
placed tbe body in a rough coffin made
by native mechanics, covered it with
tbe flag and tropical flowers. It was
placed in a field ambulance, but we had
no borsee, so asked for volunteers to
draw tbe same. The request was
'Those who will volunteer step one pace
to tbe front.' The Co. stepped off as
one man. It meant two miles in the
tropical sun, but it meant more, as 'it
clearly showed the feeling of one com
rade for another. Tbe band played the
dead march, the ambulance followed ;
then came the firing equad ; then the
chaplain, officers and company, and last
of all six Spanish prisoners, armed with
shovels, to dig the grave. Out through
the portals of Cavite wound the mourn
ful procession, crossing tbe narrow neck
that connects it with tbe mainland, into
San Roque, through the native village,
with its thatched palm huts, on to the
old marine hospital. Here we paused,
and another grave was dug in tbe sec
ond row of mounds. A few kind words
by tbe chaplain, a short prayer and the
body was lowered to its last resting
place. Three sharp volleys by tbe firing
squad, taps by the bugler, and the Span
ish prisoners filled np the grave, mound
and eod it over. A board of rough
wood, on which we carved the name and
regiment of the deceased, is placed at
the head to mark the spot where an
other of Uncle Sam's boys is laid to rest
8000 miles from borne, friends and loved
ones." - .
ONE BY ONE THEY PASS AWAY
Pioneer Hampton Kelly Dies at Bis
Home at Jnnlper Flat.
One by one tbe old pioneers are leav
ing ns, and it seems that .every few
days we are. called upon to record the
passing away of some one of Oregon's
brave pioneer men and women. Today
word was received of the death of Hamp
ton Kelly, at his farm on Juniper; Flat
Sunday evening at 7 o'clock.
Njt a resident in tbe county was better
and more favorably known than, was
Mr. Kelly, who came to Oregon in 1843
from Kentucky. Eighteen years ago he
settled in Wasco county, and has since
made his borne near Wamic. He was a
eon of one of the first members of Tay
lor street church in Portland, and was
himeelt a devout Christian, dying a
triumphant death. - . ..
For the past year he has been Buffer
ing from dropsy, and some time ago was
taken to Portland for treatment. There
he had a paralytic stroke, and abont tea
days ago returned home, where ha
steadily grew worse, nntil laBt night,
surrounded by his family and friends ha
said th9 last farewelL '
Hcleaves a wife and six grown chil
dren four sons and two daughters.
The funeral will be held tomorrow at
the family home on Juniper Flat.
FAIRLY OPENED.
Fair Weather The Pavilion a Fairy
Bower and Fair and Square Baces."
The weather today was certainly made
to order, for it is undoubtedly fair
weather, and everything seems corre
spondingly in keeping with the bright
ness of the opening day of the tenth an
nual meeting of the Second Eastern Ore
gon District fair.
Taking a peep at the pavilion today,
the reporter saw artistic hands at work
decorating and putting in place tbe
.various exhibits, which are in profusion,
and will no doubt be viewed by a large
crowd this evening, when tbe pavilion
will be opened.
The musical program is in itself a -sufficient
guarantee for a large crowd.
One selection by the famous tenor,.
Lauren Pease, would be a treat ; but the
prospect of listening to four eoIob ia al
most too good to be true. Beside this
we are to again listen to - music by the
Birgfeld orchestra, of which the Dalles
people are very proud, and which is Al
ways appreciated by tbem. The pro
gram tonight will be as follows :

At the Grounds.
There waB a very small attendance at
the grounds this afternoon, as is always
the case at the beginning of the fair, al
though the day was a perfect one for the
races and the track is in splendid condi
tion. The number of trotting horses oa
the grounds is unusual, eight being al
ready on band. Tbe Block exhibit so
far is light, many additions being ex- .
pected tomorrow. Mr. James Blakeney
is acting as marshal of the grounds, with
Charles Champlin as assistant, while the
races are under the direct supervision of
tbe management of the fair.
The first race was a quarter mile dash
and three horses started McClure'a
Stranger," Neal's "Harry N." and
Bovnton & Howell's "Dutch."
The Start was' not of tbe best, and
Stranger led off by a length. Coming;
up tbe back stretch Dutch forged to
ward tbe front and led to the finish.
coming under the wire a length ahead of
Harry N., followed by Stranger three
lengths behind. Time, 24.
Tbe horsemen were slow in getting.
their animals on the track, consequently
it was nearly 3 o clock when the first
race took place. At the time of going to
press the three-quarter mile dash and
the tbree-eightba mile dash had not
been called, bo we are unable to give the
results, but will publish them tomorrow-
Bobbed of SI 30 Last Night.
The first of a series of specialties to be
given in our city during tbe next few
days, took place last night, the first
scene opening at the Baldwin saloon,
when John Bennett was robbed of f 130.
It seems that Bennett, who had charge
of a roulette game, had stepped across the
room to watch the proceedings in a faro
game, leaving his helper to take charge
of the table, npon which was quite a
