minder of the trials oor forefathers went
inroogh. hen a celebration is at bnd,
we take more than passing pleasure and
thonght, but a day like yesterday when
a good share of our tonpeople were
away there was but little to do or see.
However the small boy land we mn!,l
see ourselves as others saw nsj made
the weUio ring with the firiug ol
crackers, bombs, and other ear splitting
noises that some larger boy has put up
on the market.
Since C. M. Cornett has taken poeset
sion of the Pnneville stage line he has
made numerous changes. Among others
he has increased the stock and is mak
ing better time between here and the
above named point. The lime of de
parture from The Dalles remains the
same, but the stage will arrive in Print,
vi!leal6a. m. and will leave thereat
noon which will give merchants and
residents of that place ample time to
answer their correspondence received
from northwestern points on the same
day, which will be a great convenience.
On almost every excursion on the
river there comes the repor ithat some
one has been hurt or drowned. These
rumors are very annoying to persona in
terested in making the affair a success,
for they create much anxiety to persons
naving iriends and relatives on board
the boat. Yesterday it was rumored
that a child had fallen overboard and
drowned, while shortly after the rumor
was so changed that it was a man who
was the victim, How these reports get
out is a mystery, but should be stopped.
Last evening many mothers who had
children aboard were on the verge of
hysterics thinking that perhaps it was
her darling who at that moment was be
ing rocked to Bleep in the bosom of the
mighty Columbia. Persons with regard
for the feelings gf others will refrain
from uttering these stories unless they
are positive what thev state is absolute
ly true.

Very few Balmon are running and the
season promises .to turn out very poor
for men interested in the business.
The past two days have been some
what warmer than the Fourth but still
they are not too hot to be uncomfortable
A seven-foot fall of the Columbia
would be sufficient for boats to pass
through the locks, which would greatly
facilitate trade.
Moro claims the honor of being the
only town in Sherman county that cele
brated the Fourth of July this year, and

patriotism, but that moat of the other
places celebrated last year.
Since the Columbia has began to ie
cede the back water which has invaded
the premises and alley between First
and Second streets in the west end of
town is beginning to raiso an odor
which is anything but agreeable.

"Many men of many minds," is what
the reporter heard a collector say today
and on icqniry was told that the old
adage was never more tommy orougnv
to mind than today when every oiner
man he struck had a cute little fairy talo
fixed up to sing to him, or would tell
him that yesterday was collection day
and that he better come around next
month.

This morning the street sprinkler in
passing dow n Second street came very
near the curb at Frerch A ("!. h.nlr
and as a number of gentlemen were
talking on the corner and not noticing
the proximity of the sprinkler ther were
considerably wet. The words spoken

was no occasion for baptism. There has
been a number of complaiuts trom

ttorjughly soaked when left standing
netr the edge of the sidewalk and it
peems as though Borne one has been
careless.
W hen our soldier boys arrive home it
would he nothing more than proper to
nave a state holiday, and all turn out
and give them a rousing welcome. The
Dalles and vicinity has quite a number
of boys in the Second Oregon, but more
were Bent away than will return which
is a circumstance of war that cannot be
prevented, but let us show to the living
that ihcir services were highly appre

and honor held up the name of our
Btate. Gov. Geer being approached on
the matter of issuing a proclamation

observe a holiday when the volunteers
arrived eaid: "Yes, that is what I
shall do. I am only waiting to learn if
possible, the day the volunteers will ar

tion, I expect to call upon the people to
observe the day as a holiday. This will
give every one an opportunity to turn
out and show the boys that we are glad
toeeethera. If I find it impossible to
tell the exact day tbey will arrive I
shall issue the proclamation soon, any
way, naming the day of their arrival as
a holiday. Iam of the opinion that,
there has not been a greater day in Ore

will be."

Arson was attempted twice in Ppo.
kano on the night of the Fourth and the
following morning. The home of Arthur
E. Houchins was soaked with coal oil
oy tne vanuais oeiore the match, was
applied. The oil had been spattered on
walls and on furniture with the inten
tion of making a thorongb job of it, but
the blaze bad not made much headway
when it was discovered, and the neigh
burs broke into the house and saved a
large part of the furniture. The IIou
chins family was absent from the city
and none of them had been in the house
for several days. The origin of the fire
is a mystery. The fire department ar
rived in time to save the house after It
had been damaged about half its value.
The other attempt to destroy valuable
property was at the Sacred Heart school
A large Chinese bomb was thrown
through one of the second-story window
ipto a vacant room, where it exploded
and scattered burning straw over the
floor. Luckily the straw did not burn
sufficiently to start a blaze in the room.
The bomb was evidently exploded in
the building after 11p.m., as Father
Kusters was about the building until
that hour and did not hear the ex
plosion. He discovered the evidence of
it in the room Wednesday morning.
The window hud been smaBbed when
ttie bomb was thrown in.

THE EDITORS ENTERTAINED.
Thry Spent Two Hours in the City and
(Vera Greatly I'leaied.
Although a good share of our peole
had uone out of the city Tuesday,
nevertheless when the members of the
National Editorial Association arrived
at 3:45 Tuesday afternoon there was a
larite crowd to meet them and make
them feel at home. There were thirteen
care, consisting of Wagner's and Pull
man's, and they were drawn by two
large engines.
Arriving at the depot the train w hich
contained the 35i edi'ors and friends
waa cut In two and til of the sleepers
were drawn to the Umatilla House,
where the occupants were dined, some
200 being seated at the first table.
While these were eating the rest of
the party were being entertained by
our citizens and the committee ap
pointed, the members of which deserve
much credit. When the first table was
cleared the rest of the party were taken
to the hotel and were seated to a spread
that would be hard to equal cant of the
mountains. Many editors were heard
to remark that it was the best meal
they bad partaken of eince they had
been on the trip, and complimented our
people on being able to prepare such a
spread. Messrs. Sinnott A Fish exerted
themselves to the utmost in giving the
dinner, and indeed deserve much credit
for their labors.
Ttie tables wero tastily decorated with
palms and flowers, while in the line of
edibles our home fruit was predominant,
and many were the remarks made by
our visitors about such delicious straw
berries and cherries.
There was but little time in which to
show the editora around bo it whs
mottly devoteil to conversation, during
which our resources ami surrounding
country were given the beneflt.- Since
the editors arrivtd in Oregon they have
been fbo.vn more courtesy than in any
other state thrt ujh w hich they passed.
They left at 5 o'clock for Portland,
having spent an hour and three quarters
in our city. They expretsed themselves
as being greatly pleased with The
Dalles, and were only sorry that more
time could not be devoted to seeing the
surrounding country and places of
inteiet. Their last words wire praises
for our people aud thanking us for the
hospitality shown.

The
Bridal
whereabouts of J.
Veil, is shroudeJ
Scott, of
mystery,
says the Telegram. Monday morning
his boat was picked np, floating in the
Columbia river, by L. Dupnis of Van-
couver, and its occupant was mlscing.
Scott left Bridal Veil Sunday mora
ing in hia boat, bound for Duncan lake.
That was the last Been of him.
About 6 o'clock Monday morning Mr.
Dupuis discovered a small clinker-built
fkiff floating in the river, apparently
without an occupant. He took a small
boat and pulled out. The craft was
empty with the exception of a few
articles of clothing, and a Winchester
rifle. Mr. Dupuis towed the skiff ashore
and immediately began an investigation.
The following-named articles were found
In the boat: A coat, hat, Winchester
rifle with one shell discharged and the)
hammer thrown back, an umbrella, av
kid gicve and a quart bottle about one
half full of whiskey.
In a pocket of the coat was an en
velope addressed to J. J. Scott, Bridal
Veil, Or. The envelope bore the post-
mat k of Seattle, May 24, 1809, and
contained a receipt for an express uioney
order for the amount of 2.
Mr. Dupuis immediately telephoned
to Bridal Veil and asked for information
concerning J. J. Scott of that place. It
was ascertained that he was a resident
there and had left in a boat Sunday
morning for Dure in lake and nothing
hid been seen nor heard of him since.
When the boat was picked up, there
was one oar banning in the lock. Three
or four locks were scattered about the
bottom, but no oars were In the boat.
The skiff is a valuable one, clinker
built, and varnished inside and ont. On
the bow is painted the name "Cap
Sheaf."
It is generally suproied in Vancouver
and in Bridal Veil that Scott has fatlan
overboard and Is droirned.
