We are informed that the stage line
Jrotn The Dalles to Prineville intend
koon to put the coaches back on tbe
had. This is doubtless good inove-
knent as the accommodations for pas'
sengers at present are of a very peculiar
ature. Dispatch. ,
The body of John.F. Mohr will be
brought to this city this evening from
Hood River for burial. The funeral will
tie held at the Catholic church tomorrow,
probably at 3 o'clock. Definite arrange
ments will be made upon the arrival of
the relatives this evening. '
The Heppner Gazette 'says t "City
Recorder Richardson was one of the for'
tunate participants in the Elks' festivi
ties at The Dalles. The judge reports a
most enjoyable time among his many
friends there, and feels that The Dalles
Klks are fully up to the requirements of
a good tlms, irregardless of expense, and
took special pains in the entertainment
01 visitors irom neighDoring towns."
Being much later than was expected
in returning from the trip down the river
yesterday, the passengers began to be
aware of the fact that they could not
subsist on'wind and were about to start
for Hungry Harbor when the lights of
home met their gaze. The lives of two
hungry reporters were prolonged by
Mine Host of the Umatilla, who took
pity on them and gave them a handout
from a light lunch he bad hurriedly pnt
in tns pocket. Judd declared news
paper reporters were not alone on the
scent for new 1; but would chase bread
and cheese as far as they could detect
the odor.
The Ward-Kidder-James triumvirate
will be in Portland on Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday of next
week. The order of the repertoire will
be as follows : Monday and Wednes
day evenings, "The School for Scandal ;"
Tuesday evening, "Othello;" Wednes
day matinee, "Hamlet ;" Thursday even
in, "Macbeth." A number of Dalles
People are planning to go down, and it
would he well were others to improve
the opportunity of hearing such famous
Rtors. To hear them in either one of
the plays mentioned is worth many
times the cost of a trip to Portend.
Trof. S. N. Steele, the firct bass of the
L. P. 8, mie quartet, arrived on
Mt night's train from Albany. He is
companied by bis father, who is on
til way to Spokane, but will lay over to
h"r tlie quartet rehearse. Mr. Steele
" brother to the famous artist whose
Paintings received the highest award at
' World's Columbian Exposition.
Mr. Steele is a mnsiclan of a high stand
fd, possessing a rich baritone voice and
' vry delicate ear, so essential to quar
tet singing. He la 0ig0 the funny man
Jf the quartet, and his humorous selec
tions never fails to bring down the house.
Monday's Daily.
This morning Mays A Crowe received
hipment of three carloads of wagons.
Another car is expected tomorrow,
poods for the new building have already
wgati to arrive.
Yesterday at a meetingof the Method
t Sunday school board it was decided
to clmnge the hour for holding Sunday
nooI from 12:20 to 10 In the morning,
Winning next Sunday.
C. Judson will arrive in the city
tomorrow, when arrangements will be
'omploted for the Farmers' Institute.
J" mreting will convene at 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning in the court room,
and on Thursday night the last meeting
will be held. There will be something
interesting for all, ladies as well as
gentlemen.
The smile on the countenances of
passers-by as they no! ire the new cross
walks being buiit in ilitfV'ent portions of
the city, is very perceptible. Workmen
are engaged in la iim walks on Fourth
street at present.
Tomorrow morning the boats of the D.
r. ix a. is. co. win begin daily service
between this city, and Portland, the
Dalles City making the trip tomorrow
and the Regulator starting in Wednesday
and making alternate trips from now on.
the assertion.
W. H, Hillgen is in from Graes Valley
today. He says the farmers in his vi
cinity are all busy plowing, and every
thing seems lively. When he left Satur
day there was a question as to whether
it was snowing or raining. Rain would
be very acceptable in that locality.
F. L. Houghton received a badge this
morning from E. E. Mallory, secretary
of the American Cocked Hat Associa
tion, which is to be presented to Miss
Alma Schanno, who held the highest
score of tne lady bowlers here in the re
cent tournament, and second highest of
any competitors in the state. The pin
is of a beautiful design, and will be
prized by the owner.
Gilbert Kelly, the little son of Thos.
Kelly, had a narrow escape from receiv
ing a fatal injury yesterday. Having
been allowed to accompany a companion
to the depot with his father, he, with a
crowd of boys, found bis way to Peters'
lumber yard, where they were having a
good time playing on the lumber. One
of tie boys jumped from the pile, caus
ing the lumber to slio and Gilbert fell
underneath it. Being unable to lift the
load off the little fellow, the boys called
for help, when two railroad men extri
cated him and carried him home. His
face was found to be badly bruiBed,
and a deep gash cut in the left side of
his head. Dr. Doane was called and
took eeveral stitches in the cut, and be
is now able to be around. 'Twas a lucky
thing for Gilbert that he was not hurt
internally.
One of the largest andiences ever as
se in bled in the Congregational church of
this city, greeted the pastor and the A
L. P. S. quartet last evening. Alter the
opening services the quartet, composed
of Messrs. Aikers, Lundell, Poling and
Steele, rendered "Let the Lower Lights
Be Burning" in a most pleasing and ef
fective manner. The gentlemen com
posing the quartet have delighted audi
ences in different towns in the Willam
ette valley many times during the
past few years and the effort of their
work together is very apparent. Seldom
have the people of The Dalles had an op
portunity to hear better male voices.
Their singing last evening will insure
for them a large attendance at the con
cert. The sermon by Rev. Poling upon
the subject of "True' Manhood" was a
most Immpressive one and was listened
to with careful attention by the large
audience.
It will be some satisfaction to those in
terested in fruit-raising, (in fact to
all of us) to learn that Wasco county has
suffered less from the late winter froBts
than any county yet heard from. The
damage seems to be confined to certain
localities, and depends mostly on the
altitude, the fruit on the lowlands suffer
ing more than that, on the hillsides, and
the further west you go in this county
the greater the loss. An exception to
this rule was, however, found when upon
examining same sample blanches from
Grants, Mr. Schanno found them in
good condition ; while a lot sent by Mr.
Root at Mosier, proved badly injured.
The orchards along Mill creek have suf
fered much more than those 011 Dry
Hollow and 3-Mile. The situation seems
to bailie many. For instance, Mr. An
derson, of Chenoweth creek, claims
that his fruit has come out in fairly good
shape, while A. Y. Marsh and G. W.
Halvor, but a short distance below his
place, report much of theiis in a hope-
ess condition. And eo reports are con
flicting. However, Mr. bchanno Btiu
contends that we are to have a good
fruit crop, outside of apricots and a por
tion of the peach crop, all other fruit
surviving.
Tuesday'! Dilly.
We are very sorry to learn that L. E.
Crowe is confined to bis bed in Portland,
the grippe having settled in his ear,
mnkingitmuch more troublesome, and
at the same time he is sullering with
rheumatism.
R. C. Judson, accompanied by a num
ber of gentlemen, is expectad to arrive
in the city this evening, and tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock the first meeting
of the Farmers' Institute will be held at
the court room. Other announcements
as to the meeting will be made later.
All are rejoicing over the splendid
showers we are now having, and which,
it is now said, extend throughout the
country, and are sadly needed. During
the past thirty-six hours we have had
1.35 inches of rain, and from all indica
tions it will continue. Let us hope ko,
at least.
The Oregonlan says : "Arrangements
are in progress which it is hoped will re
sult In admitting The Dalles, Astoria
and Salem In the Inter-club contest
which Is to begin about the first of
April. It was originally Intended to in
clude only the Portland clubs, but 11 the
matter can be satisfactorily arranged
the three teams mentioned will be given
an opportunity to tnter this bowling
contest."
The passenger train which should
have arrived here at 2:55, this afternoon,
was this morning reported taelve hours
late; but this afternoon word reached
here that it had been a u nulled, so that
today's train will not arrive at all. This
traiu has been very uncertain for the
past few weeks.
Evangelist Crittencon seems to be
awakening quite an interest in his no'k
in Portland, as he invariably does in
every city be visits, for it is a work
which commends itself to everyone, no
matter what their Btation in life. At a
meeting Sunday afternoon a widow lady
became so enthsiastic that she con
tributed her diamond ring to the fur
therance of the work in Portland. Mr.
Crittenton will leave that city for Astoria
Friday.
Last night F. X. Jones returned from
a trip to Southern California, and the
reports that be brings of the drought
there are anything but flattering for tbe
residents of that part of the state. It is
not surprising that Oregon is at present
receiving such an influx from that lo
cality. Mr. Jones says farmers will
hardly have enough of a crop for seed,
and that the absence of rain is even
telling on the eucalyptus trees, whose
roots extend an indefinite length in
search of moisture.
Mr. G. W. Miller, who called at this
office yesterday to pay his daily sub
scription, has certainly proven himself
the friend of newspapers, having won
quite a reputation as a subscriber to
many. Among those he has read con
tinuously for years is the Oregonian, he
having been a continuous subscriber for
over forty years, and has taken the daily
for over twenty years. When the Gold
endale Sentinel started bis was one of
tbe firBt names on the list, and he has
received that journal for over twenty
years. Every since The Chronicle
commenced publication, nine years ago,
Mr. Miller has read it daily, and is such
a subscriber as newspapers desire to
have.
Some time ago in speaking of Henry
Irving's visit to America, The Chron
icle could not suppress the question as
to whether he could do a calk walk or
sing a coon song, and if not, how could
be possibly succeed in this enlightened
age. It now seems, after years of suc
cess on the legitimate stage, with all tbe
world's praises sounding in his ears,
that Liuis James has just awakened to
tbe serious mistake he has made, and
becoming tired of the Othellos, Hamlets
and Macbeths, longs to do a cake walk
or try his rich voice, which so captivates
everyone who bears it, in "Mr. Johnson
Turn Me Loose." And yet it cannot be
this conclusion has been reached through
any lack of appreciation by the people,
for he never visited The Dalles, as has
Ward, and been greeted by an audience
of a dozen or more; but in every city
plays to packed houses. Then why thi
sudden outburst and the declaration that
were he back at the foot of the bill he
should travel the other road? Simply,
as tbe Telegram says, because greatness
always brings weariness. Then, too, be
may have been desirous of giving the re
porter who interviewed him, something
to write about.
So far nothing has been done in this
city toward enforcing the law regarding
the abolishment of nickel-in-the-slot
machines and similiar divises, and the
officers as well as owners of such ma
chines seem to be waiting the decision
in regard to the constitutionality of the
act. Such a test was to have been made
in Astoria yesterday. An attorney bad
been engaged by the nickel-in-the-slot
men at that place and another at Salem,
the first arrest to be made at Astoria.
A victim had been selected with the
understanding that all costs of litigation
were to be borne by the men interested
in the protection of the machines, and
either the sheriff of Clatsop county or
chief of police of Astoria be induced to
make the arrest. A pro forma con
fession of judgment was to be entered
in the state circuit court and the case at
once taken up on appeal. A gentleman
here said today: "If they would
let the machine rest, it would soon wear
itself out, like any other fad." That
when he first had his machine he took
in from $12 to $15 some days, whereas
now it only helps him to sell his cigars,
and many days but fifty cents is put in.
Quite a revenuo is paid Into the city
from licenses on these machines, which,
in case of the enforcement of the law,
must be refunded. It certainly is
naught else but one form of gambling,
and should be dealt with as such.

A CLOSE RACE.
Regulator lkd, Bat lb Iialle CU I
Hard to Beat.
Just bow much Dalles people are in
terested in the D. P. Jc A. X. C and its
boats was evidenced yesterday by the
large crowd, about one hundred in num
ber, which boarded the new Regulator
at 2:30 o'clock, for the purpose of taxing
a spin down ths river and determining
a hat she could do after donning btr
new clothes. Captain Sherman was at
the helm ready for the fray.
The breezes g t wind of the trial trip
and took part in the circus, walking the
tirfht ropes and tumbling around tbe
decks until the passengers took refuge
intbecaHin. Then, too, the rains de
scended and got tbe drop on the few
who still insisted on remaining outside.
At length all settled down in expectancy
nntil the Dalles City hove in sight,
with Capt. Short at the wheel, as they
reached Rankin's Landing. Await
ing her convenience, for she must make
the landings, at Lyle the race began,
and at 6:22 the whistles on both boats
announced that all was ready.
The Regulator was about a half a
length ahead as the race began, and al
though she led all the way, the Dalles
City was "right at her heels" as the say
ing goes, and the greatest distance he
tween them at any time was about a
length and a half. It was a pretty sight
as the passengers watched them intent
ly, eager that their own boat come out
ahead. As they neared the city the
Dalles City began gaining, and it seemed
to be a question which would throw
the line first; but the good old Regu
lator, (long may she sail), touched the
dock firet, as tbe shout of triumph arose
and tbe whistle told of victory.
Tbe distance, which is nine miles, was
made in about twenty-five minutes,
which, if exactly correct, would make
nineteen miles an hour. Tben, too, an
allowance of three miles must be made
for current. ,
The Dalles City, which is allowed 250
pounds of steam, carried from 1G0 to
185; while the Regulator, whose limit is
151 pounds, carried from 90 to 150. The
conditions not being as perfect as they
might have been, as tbe Regulator's
steam pipes are not as yet covered, and
some features in regard to conditions on
tbe Dalles City being taken into con
sideration, this is not considered a per
fect test, and the engineer is confident
that he can beat this time by five or six
minutes; but it has certainly added to
the faith which the owners .have in the
two boate, and the pride which our
citizens feel in haviug two such steamers
on the river.
Two better hulls do not enter the port
of Portland than are possessed by these
boats. Of tbe Dalles City Capt. Short
says: "she Is tbe best handling boat J.
have ever managed ;"and Capt. Sherman
is equally as confident of the Regulator.
It fact, everyone is unanimous in their
estimate of the boats owned by this
company.

Regarding this bill, which whs filed
by the governor Friday, and the pur
poseof which is to suppress nickle-in-tbe-slot
machines, or similar devices, the
Salera Statesman says:
"This bill is expected to abolish the
nickel-ln-the-slot machines, but its op
ponents inBict that it was not legally
passed by the legislature, and while it
will be on tbe statute books, and
will have the effect of driving many of
tbe offending machines out of business,
it will not stand In law. Their asser
tions are based upon the manner of the
passage of the bill by , the bouse. The
bill, after passing tbe senate, was sent
to the house on February 7th, where,
after being read twica, it was referred to
the committee on printing, of which Mr.
Curtis, of Clatsop county, was chairman.
On the morning of February 17th, dur
ing the closing hours of the legislative
session, a report was called for, but none
was forthcoming, the members of the
committee being unable to produce the
bill, as Chairman Curtis bad it in his
possession, and be bad gone to Astoria.
"The members favoring the measure
clamored for the production of the bill,
and in order to satisfy the bouse, it is
reported, one member of the committee
produced a printed copy of the bill, se
cured the endorsements on the back of
it to correspond as nearly as possible to
those supposed to be on the missing
document, and handed this so-called du
plicate in as the report of the committee
and this bill was passed by the holiness
the original bill. It was afterwards
found, so it is asserted by those in a
position to know, that typographical
errors in the kill made the bill passed bv
the house read different from the origi
nal document, and It, therefore, was not
a duplicate, but substitute or amended
measure, and as such should have been
returned to the Semite for concurrence
"This was not done, but the bill was
signed ami forwarded to the executive
office, and since the bill has received the
governor's signature, and has an emer
gency clause, it Is now in effect, and if
not in fact, it Is to all Intents and pur
poses a good and valid law, and will re
main so unless contested In the courts,
Clremt Court.
I.. Moiris, who plead guilty to simple
larceny, was sentenced this morning to j
serve one month in the county jail. This '
Is the case In which two overcoats were
stolen from the resilence of M. T,
Xolan.
W ui. Kilfe, who took a shot at C. B
Reese at Antelope, was fined on bun
dred dollars.
In the case of Wui. Floyd, et. a!., vs
Wasco County, the jury returned dam
ageo to the appellant to the amount of
$120. This is the same sum as was al
lowed by the county court.
DAMAGE NOT2SO GREAT.
Wheat and Fruit Have j Not Fared 80
Haiti a I Krpuneir.
It is human nature to look on the
dark side of the, cloud, and even the
most sanguine sometimes fail to see ths
silver lininz. How often do we hear the
remark, "these hard times," when the
times are at their best. Xot that we
are all pessimists; but the habit of
complaining has so grown on as that we
unconsciously cross the bridge tefore
we reach it, when if we had remembered
that sufficient uuto the day is the evil
thereof we. might have been spared all
the unnecessary anxiety.
This seems to be the case concerning
the damage to wheat and fruit. While
It is no doubt true that a certain amount
of damage has been done by the severity
of the winter, it is already evident that
these reports have been exaggerated.
1 he weather bureau, as is ua custom,
has sent out for special reports, and a
good many have been received from the
intelligent farmers in various parts of
the state. Some of these reports indi
cate that the crop has suffered, while
others show that the damage has been
slight.
Mr. Pague says that the entire crop of
Washington, Idaho and Oregon, accord
ing to reports received at this office, was
not damaged more than two per cent,
and that re-seeding can be done without
trouble, as the ground in most sections
is in good condition.
ine Iruit crop has, perhaps, fared
little worse, but not as badly as many
think.
"It is my observation," said Mr.
Pague, "that people think tbey are
worse hurt by a freeze than they really
are. Now, I have some reports from
Wasco county, for instance, that say
fruit is badly damaged, though the
writer ot one of these reports says his
fruit is not killed, but that many of his
neighbors have suffered. Other reports
from the same country, but from a dif
ferent section, say the crop, neither
fruit nor wheat, is badly injured."
A Morrow county paper says: "This
weather is fine for growing wheat. It
was thought that the late freeze might
injure it somewhat in this part of the
country, but it is found that it was not
at all affected. The prospects for good
crops in Morrow county were never bet
ter."
In regard to fruit trees, It will be well
for orchardists to heed the advice of Mr.
A. II, Buckman, given in a local col
umn of the Oregonian, and withhold the
ax from the fruit trees until the spring
is well advanced. There Is no question
that fruit trees generally received se
vere handling from the freeze of the flrtt
week of February, and thai in some lo
calities manv have been killed. But it
will be wise to gve all a chance to rally.
Otherwise fuel mav be inadvertently
made of very valuable timber and a
large part of the fruit crop for the next
five years needlessly sacrificed.

FISHING IN THE COLUMBIA.
Close Season Beflnl Wedneaday Some
featnrea of the Mew Law.
According to tho law passed by the
late legislature the close fishing season
begins Wednesday and lasts until April
loth, on which latter date the spring
salmon season opens. Any person found
fishing between March 1st and April
15th will be arrested.
Among other things the law provides
that it shall be unlawful for any person
to take, catch or fish for salmon or stur
geon in any of the waters of this state,
unless said person be a citizen of the
United States, or haa declared his in
tention to become such, and has been a
bona fide resident of the state of Oregon
for the period of six months; provided
that a license issued by the state of
Washington, such state having concur
rent jurisdiction on tbe Columbia with
this state, shall be deemed valid as to
gillnets, and as to gillnet fishermen, for
use on the Columbia river, as though
ssued by the fish commissioner of this
state.
Thus in making applications for li
censes, fishermen must send witn sucn
application an affidavit as to the citizen
ship qualification.
It might be well at this time to call
the attention of fishermen to the require
ments of the law as to licenses. First,
there Is a personal tax of tl, which every
fisherman is required to pay. Then.the
person owning the boat and gear is re
quired to pay $2.50 a year. Setnets mast
pay f 1 ; poundnets, traps and weirs, $15;
scow fish-wheels, $15, and stationary
fish-wheels, $15. Canners must pay a
licenee of $100 a year, for those who pack
not to exceed 10,000 cases annually, to
$450, for those who pack 40,000 cases or
more. Every cannery in operation must
procure tbe license, no matter whether
more than one cannery is owned by the
company or not. Cold-storage and re
tail dealers are taxed from $10, for those
handling ten to twenty tons of fish a
year, to $750 for those handling over
1000 tons. Persons who engage in the
business the C3ining year, and who were
not engaged last year, will be listed in
the ninth cIbbs and shall be required to
pay $250.
All licenses must be taken out between
now and April 15th. After the latter
date persons engaging in fishing and
having fulled to procure licenses shall be
regarded as criminals and puuiehed as
BUCll.
After Aptil 15th all persons found
fishing without a license will be arrested
and deprived of their gear, as provided
by law.
Notice.
