Wednesday's Daily.
The board of fire delegates met last
evening, but the new board was not or
ganized, all the new members not being
present and the secretaries of the dif
ferent companies wtre dilatory in send
ing in their reports. The d:fferent in
surance companies in the city have signi
fied their willingness to furnish tire
patrolmen with proper badges. ''
A number of Antelope people who
have been attending the Forrester trial
here, many being summoned as wit
nesses, and others through an interest
iu the case, returned to their homes to
day. Others will leave tomorrow. Ante
lope must haye been almost depopu
lated, from toe number of its citizens
who bare been here during the week
paBt.
ine Boiuiers monument committeo is
doing well at this place. The history
of the United States that they give is
worth the twenty-five cents and you
keep the fun besides. Some of the books
will be left with members of the com
mittee here, or with Mr. Gilbert, the
county school superintendent, and if
you haye not bought a book go down and
get one. The monument will be built.
State Superintendent Ackerman will,
in a few days, issue a pamphlet con
taining all the legislation affecting the
schools of the state passed by both the
special and the regular sessions of the
twentieth legislative assembly. This
will be distributed throughout the state
each county superintendent receiving
sufficient copies to supply all the officers
of all the districts in his county, so as to
give the public an opportunity to be
come acquainted with the new laws af
fecting the public school system.
Glen O. Holman, of Pendleton, so
well known all over the state, and who
has been attending the legislature, is in
the city today, on his return home. He
stopped over in the interest ot the
soldier's monument, soon to be erected
in memory of our heroes who died dur
ing the recent war with Spain, and has
spent the day in selling the book "Uncle
Sum's Own Story, Colum and Me,"
Mr. Holman is the writer and pub
lisher, and the price of the book, which
is 25 cents, will go to the monument
fund. He has been very successful 'n
disposing of a number of books.
From many fruit-raisers in and in the
vicinity of the city we learn that the
outlook for a part of this year's fruit
crop is anything but encouraging. Mr.
Boon brought to this office this morning
some branches of apricot trees, the buds
of which are as dead as a door-nail, and
the branches have every appearance of
being in the same fix. The peaches and
many of the grape vines were badly
nipped at bis place. Mr. Schanno in
forms us that he judges about seventy
five per cent of the peach crop will be a
failure, most of the early Crawford be
ing beyond hope, while the apricots
were also badly injured. As to other
fruit, he thinks there Is a good show for
a fair crop.
About the most important personage
at the D. F. A A. N. Co.'s dock is
'Jack," the wharf boat dog, who is the
property of Mr. Eastwood, but who,
with his important air, really wears the
purple, and lords it over his subjects at
the dock. One might say that he puts
on a great deal of "dog," but one thing
is certain, he has more than horse sense,
and is "Jack" of all trades when it
comes to rendering assistance in lami
ng the boats, etc. Indeed, he stems to
think a landing could not be made, nor a
boat started, without his presence, and
ust as soon as the whistle is heard in
the distance, Jack is prancing back and
forth in his eagerness to do his duty.
The moment the line is thrown he
grasps it in his teeth and jumps around
n the endeavor to wind it around the
iles, some times holding it till the rope
tightens and takes the bark off of his
mouth. He is alwavr more anxious to
be on hand when the Dalles City arrives,
and 1ms been seen to turn up tils noie
when the Flyer conies in sight, knowing
full well there is no "hand out" for him
here. During the tie-up tills winter
when he could not reach the wharf boat,
lis attics were amusing and he was like
water-dog out of water. He Is a terror
to rats, and never gets rattled in his at
tempt to rid the docks of them. He is
the pet of all, and the doggondest dug
n the hunch.
Thursday's Dally.

Mays & Crowe's new store will be the
pride of the city when it la finished and
the finest hardware store in the North
west. It will probably be a month be
fore it is completed and the goods all in
place; but already it is easy to tell what
it will be like.
.Reports are continually coming in as
to the wheat crops which are said to he
lost. While this is no doubt true in
many cases, iu others th. conclusion is
premature. Those who know, say much
of what is thought to be lost, will yet
prove itself all right.
Last night at a banquet given by the
Oregon Society of the Sons of the Ameri
can Revolution in Portland, Fred W,
Wilson, ot this city, responded to the
toast, "Westward the Coarse of Empire,"
and if Fred equaled Us foi mer efforts,
bis speech was not excelled by any
given.
One of the men who had been called
to the city as a witness in the Forrester
case, but who was not put ou the stand,
seems to have been determined to make
the most of his visit, and proceeded to
get on a "tear." After causing consider
able trouble, he was last night arrested
and fined $10 bv the recorder.
For the past two nights star-gazers
haye observed a large circle around the
moon, and having rnn out of a topic for
conversation have commented as to its
beauty and what it may portend. They
are assured bv those who have made
astronomy a study, that in this part of
the country il has no particular Big
nificance, although in many places it
would declare a storm.
Among the great losers of stock from
the scarcity of feed to tide his sheep
over during the severe winter, is
"Kishwalk," a Warm Spring Indian
Out of a band of 5000, he is said to have
lost about 2000, and the corrals are
covered with their carcasses. Three
men are kept busy ekining the sheep in
order to save the pelts. Kishwalk is an
energetic man andahard worker, whose
bad luck is to be regretted.
his thoroughbred, "Queen Anne," with
out reins. He will compete with any
one driving with reins, and choosing a
spot or object anywhere cn the street,
such as a telegraph pole, will, by indi
cating to the horse, touch that object.
1 his is different than anything you have
ever seen. Don t miss it.
Dancers have no cause to complain
as to the scarcity of this amusement
in The Dalles recently. Another oppor
tunity WHS afforded them last evening,
when an impromptu dancing party was
given at the K. of P. hall by some of
our society young men. About thirty
couples were present, just enough to
cause everyone to fell perfectly at home
and in a humor to aiake the most of the
evening's pleasure. Music was lurnith.d
by the Baldwin orchestra. The floor
was never in better condition, which
added much to toward making the affair
the success it was.
A bill has passed the state senate
which practically nullifies the present
grand jury system. The bill was intro
duced by Moody during the closing days
of the legislative session and passed dur
ing the rush of business without it be
tjming generally known. It had the en
dorsement of the Oregon Bar Association
and becomes a law ninety days after be
ing signed by the governor. It provides
that the district attorney shall in
vestigate information in cases which are
held to the grand jury. The law does
not abolish the grand jury system, but
leaves it optional with the circuit judge
whether a grand jury shall be convened
or not.

The finer roses in Portland and Valley
towns are said to have been totally de
stroyed by the nipping frosts this winter
oucn, ii is leareu, is the case with roses
in this city, many of them having th
appearance of being dead, while others
will have to be cut down to the roots
making the flowers much later. This
to be regretted, as much pride is taken
in the roses of our city.
At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon the
Regulator left the dock, and will m.V-e
her way down the river nntil she meets
the Dalles City, when she expects to
turn around and lead the way on the
home trip. Whether she will or not
remains to be seen ; but we have great
faith in her speed. A number of pas
sengers were on board, eager to see her
tedt her powers as a speeder.
An ordinance prohibiting expectora
tion on the sidewalks of Salem went
into tffect yesterday. It provides for a
fine of f 1 to $10 on conviction of a viola
tion. No doubt if a rigid enforcement
ot the law is made, the city is doing
land office business. The effect will at
any rate he beneficial, and The Dalles
should follow suit. Had such a law
been in force in this city last week, olti
cere stationed at the court house corner
could have BolveJ the question of the
best way to raise revenue.

Last Sunday a man by the name of J.
H. Richardson made his appearance at
the Central Hotel at Dufur, and being
nnable to care, for himself was kindly
taken in hand by the proprietor, J. S.
Everets. Since that time he has been
eared for at that place. As it was evi
dent he would be ill for some time it
was thought best to bring him to this
city and he was carefully arranged on a
bed ic a covered wagon and arrived here
this morning. Application was made
to the county, and he will probably be
taken to the poor faun. He is a man of
about 52 years, and Bays he has been in
Oregon two years.
"That civilized man caanot live with
out cooks" has been demonstrated, not
by poetical sentences, but in a most
substantial manner. Therefore, it is
well that womankind in general be not
so far carried away with the new woman
idea that they neglect this all-important
art of cooking. Miss Tracy's visit to
tills city next week, when she gives
talk on the subject at the institute, will
no doubt l e considered not rare treat
but one well done.' It is said that she
requires that a stove be placed in the
room, and then, in true womanly
fashion, rolls tip her sleeves and give a
practical illustration of her lectures.
She will be here on the 2nd of next
month.

bending honesty mad. bis influence

and justice came np for consideration.
To Mr. Dufur is due the credit of effect
til j a s.tikfctory compromise in the
Wheeler county case, and we believe
that his action in that matter all the
way through has won f.r him the re
spect and esteem of all fact ons and in

Several months ago the Oregon Societjr
of the Sous of American Revolution gave
out three topics, upon which
essays were to be written by students in
the higher educational institutions 1 1
Oregon, three prize being offered by
the society for the three best paper. A
student at the Portland Academy won
the first prise; one at the McMinnville
college the second, and the third wat
awarded to a young lady at the univer
sity in Eugene. But The Dalles wae
not out of the race, and this time it
wa represented by Miss DaisieAllaway,
who is a junior student in the state
university. Out of the remaining
twenty-eight competitors, she was first
on the list of five to receive honorable
mention as having submitted an ex
cellent paper on "Paul Jone, and the
Naval Warfare of the Revolution." Ii
was a surprise to her parent in thi
city, who had no idea Daisie wa com
peting. The Ciironicli is always
pleased to note tbe advancement of
any of the boys and kirls from The
Dalles, whose honor always reflect
credit, not only on themselves, but oe.
