OleBon was given a jury trial in Justice
Miller's court and was convicted of nn
lawfullyj transporting deer hides and
fined $3C0 and costs, in default of which
he was committed to jiil. L. Deacb,
proprietor of tho Roseburg tannery, was
also ttied Thursday afternoon before
the justice upon a charge of unlawfully
handling deer skins and convening
thom into merchandise, and was
found guilty as charged. He was hned
$100 which was promptly paid. Oleson's
brother has also been arrested on
charge of unlawfully handling deer hides
but has not yet been convicted. The
penalty in these cases is fixed by statute
at a fine of $100 to $500, or Imprieon
ment, or both. It is said other arrests
will soon follow. The game wardens
are going to see that the law is enforced
at all hazards.
Thursday's Daily.
Say! Is it warm enough for-
you? If it is, don't ask us. We're in
the same box.
Dr. Sanders received a telegram from
his eon, Earl, late this afternoon which

It Is Marshal Hughes now, for the
newly appointed officer assumed his

take kindly to our suggestions as have
past officials.
The highest price paid this season for
wool in Montana was received at Bill
ings by a ranchman named Joe Sims.
He received lS,'i cents for his clip.
Reports from all over tho state of Mon.
tana are that the market is strong, and
it Is predicted that some of the extra
clips will yet be sold for 20 cents.
Onr informant as to the boys being
sighted off Mare island yesterday, pro
bably has a "horse on" the uhhonici.i,
for our geography is considered deficient
and we are now told Mare island is many
milesinland. Well. what's thedifference,
may be it. was a 'horse eye' view which
was taken any way, and they can see
better than human beings.
Today has perhaps been the banner
day for wool sales, a large numoer oi
clips changing bands. Over 100,000
pounds were sold for la cents, so we are
informed by one of our warehouse men.
Much more may have gone at the same
price, but we can vouch (or the veracity
of our informant in this particular.

.ccount of a bridge wing
near
Weatherby, this side of Huntington, ar
rived at 3 o'clock this morning. No. 3,
which is doe about 5 o'clock, pulled in
about 9, having encountered sand on the
track above here, which threw theengine
uu man car ou me track. a one was
hurt and little harm done.
These be the days when our thought
instinctively turn to the cool and shady
woods where, forgetting all else, we
can well, in the words of the im
mortal poet, do as we please; or to the
seaside, where we can take our annual
bath. And Dalles people are beginniug
to more in these directions in earnest.
Each day many leave the city, and soon
no one but newspaper people and the
officers of the law w ill be left. At that
time there will be no need ot the latter
class, and we'll be left alone.
If the Chsoxicls is lacking in news
today, its readers are requested to be
lenient and spare their censure. To
entertain visiting editors is an entirely
different matter from interesting readers
of a paper. In the former the reception I
committee shares the pleaeures of their
guests, w hile In the latter the pleasure(?)
must be all on the other side, for we say
without a blush there is little enjoyment
in Ecraping up nes on a hot summer
day; beside it takes sometime to again
get into the working harness.
Mr. D. M. French had the misfortune
to lose his bngey horse, "Sam," which
died yesterday morning. "Sam" had
been a member of the French family for
a number of years and was a trusty
driving horse as well as a great pet, eo
that his place will bo hard to fill. It is
poor policy to say anght but good of
even a horse who bus passed away, but
Sam had one bad habit which is seldom
found in an animal of horse Benee, that
of chewing tobacco. He, however, was
not addicted to the habit, but only took
a chew occasionally when some skeptical
person doubted those who claimed he
would do so, and the boys gave him a
chew to prove their statements. That
was his only bad habit ; and no doubt it
did not succeed in shutting him out of
horse heaven.
Friday's Daily.
Someone says that the postoflice is the
coolest place in town ; but we know of
one that's "cooler." Its at the county
court house, and you must apply to John
Fitzgerald for admittance.
II. W. Wells has sold a band of about
5000 sheep to G. R. Wilsou, of Colorado,
and they were brought over from the
Washington side this morning and
loaded into the cars to be shipped at
once.
The market is now well supplied with
early peaches, the warm weather caus
ing them to ripen rapidly, and while
not a peach could be had a few days
since, now they are plentiful. The re
tail price is 80 cents.
It is said that Hon. D. P. Thompson,
of Portland, who is one of the most ex
tensive growers of wheat in the North
west, if not the most extensive, is con
templating a trip to Russia, primarily
for the purpose of studying the situation
and outlook in that country.
If you wish to spend a pleasant hour
or two, call on the young ladies of the
League at S. French's lawn this even
ing, where you will be treated "coolly"
in one sense of the word, but receive a
hearty welcomo at the same time, Ice
cream will be served for 15 cents.
Yesterday morning about 9 :30 o'clock,
Lawrence Biggs, the 5-weeks-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Murchle, died of in
flammation of the bowels. Mr. Murchie
is now at North Yakima, where his wife
expected to join him soon. Word has
been sent to him and as soon as be ar
rives the time for the funeral will be set.
The man, Armstrong, who was picked
up in Portland and sent to the small
pox hospital, had the genuine small-pox.
He went from Hood River to his home
at Dundee, and afterwards went to
Portland. His brother at Dundee has
since broken out with the disease, and
the whole town bos been quarantined.
Glacier.
Plans for the reception of the volun
teers are virtually at a standstill; but
many have not given up the hope of yet
receiving them in the manner planned.
They still hope the boys will be brought
to Portland by wator and as an organiza
tion, and that the river reception will
be carried out.
In some parts of Umatilla county the
wheat will be badly damaged and un
less rain comos In a short time it will
be serious. 'Tis not so much the need
of rain, however, as a cooler tempera
ture, the intense heat burning the grain.
According to reports Wasco county
wheat will suffer much if the warm
weather continues.
Cloud Cap Inn is now open and ready
to receive guests. lesieruav a puny
coiiaintingof Mr. and Mrs. Phil Metech
an. Mr. and Mrs. Werner Breyuian,
Circuit Judiid and Mrs. G. H. Bi.rnctt,
Dr. Mi I Mrs. D. A. Paine, of Salem, and
Mrs. C. W. Knowli s, of Portland, went
to the Inn. There is no place in tho
state, nor out of it, lor that matter,
where a vacation can be spent more
pleasantly.
Hon. U. J. Hendricks, who was ap
pointed to the position of appraiser of
customs at Portland, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by (Son. O. Summers npon
Ilia
lailnr'a departure In command oi
the Oregon volunteers for the 1 nuip
plnos, has tendered hi resignltion in
favor of Gen. Bummers to take effect
upon the arrival of the Utter at San
Francisco on his return from Manila
a very graceful act on tbe part of Mr.
Hendricks.
A wreck occurred on the track near
Viento about 9 o'clock last evening,
causing five cars of freight No. C4 tote
pretty badiy smashed up and the
breakeman, Bob Chambers, to be In
jured. It was at first thougut bis in
juries were serious, but later develop
ments proved that he was not badly
hurt. No. 2, east-bound passenger, was
delayed about four hours, reaching here
between 3 :30 and 4 this morning. The
wrecker was taken down and the track
soon cleared up.
An important meeting Is to be held in
The Dalles next week, when about 300
delegates will assemble here Tuesday
and the grand lodges of A. O. U. W. and
D. of II. will be in session for three days
at least. Delegates from all over the
state w ill be present and it is fitting that
a good impression be made upon our
guests, so that not only the orders, but
all citizens should feel Interested in the
matter. The sessions of the A. O. U.
W. will be held in the Vogt, while those
of the D. of H. will convene in the K. of
P. hall.
A coon was on parade this morning
in Recorder Gates' court, and finally
marched in the direction of tte county
jail, there to remain for a month. His
name is John Sinipkins, and he had
forgotten that tbe exception to the com
mand "Thou shalt not steal" did not
refer to canned beef, but chicken only.
So, when he quietly embalmed a can of
beef in his pocket as the clerk at Nolan's
store was wrapping a can of salmon he
had bought, ho laid himself open to the
hand of the law, and was taken in by
Marshal Hughes.
We promised the marshal to follow
the usual tenure of the newspaper field
and gi'n him a few intrustlons upon
his duty regarding the streets of our
city ; but somehow we have come to the
conclusion that he knows what he's
about, and that we will soon have the
pleasure of Bailing over our streets w ith
out encountering boulders which would
hold any ordinary team up and make
their drivers swear they'll never pay
another cent of taxes unless the streets
are kept in a half way decent shape. In
their present condition it is anything
but a pleasure to ride over them in a
carriage or on a wheel.
jMext luesuay, juiy istu, is opening
day for the Willamette Valley Chautau
qua Asscmoiy at Uiadstone park near
Oregon City. The program for this
year is exceptionally good, and the fact
that the famous Sam Jones is to be there
on the evening of 18th and on Wednes
day forenoon and afternoon is creating
much Interest not only in the Valley,
mil r.iiBtern uregon as well, and many
are planning to hear him. His subject

Stay There" and on Wednesday at 11
o'clock be speaks on "Manhood and

Supremo Court lcllon.
Among the decisions which have just
been banded down by the supreme
court were several which wero appealed
from Wnsco and Sherman counties and
heard at the term of court in Pendleton
last May. The case of the Hood River
Lumbering Co. vs. Wasco county at
tracted considerable iuterest, as it ef
fected the rights to certain property at
the mouth of the stream of Hood River.
Tho constitutionality of the law allow
ing private property to be taken and
providing for damages to the party
aggrieved was in question. The case
was heard before Judge liradshaw last
winter who upheld the constitutionality
of the law. The Lumbering Company
appealed to the supreme court which
reversed the decision previously made.
Huntington and Wilson appeared for the
appellants and W. H. Wilson and A. A.
Jayne (or the respondents.
Another decision reversed the judge
ment of the circuit court for Sherman
county in the case of I'earlin, OremlorlT
Co. vs. Barnett. In this case the su
preme court held that the verdict was
imperfect in form and thai, the circuit
judge should have set the same aside
upon the plaintiff's motion. F. W.
Wilson appeared for plaintiff and C. J.
Bright for defendent.

THE OPPOSITION LINE-
Keport Say tlto I- I'. & A. N. Co.' Line
Will llnvo 0poltlun.
Last night's Telegram comes out with
an article regarding the opposition line
of boats which it is said will be placed
on the river between this place and
Portland by the Shaver Trensportatlon
Company; but at the same time says
that although it is common talk, none
of the companies concerned will give out
information.
It is not an unlocked for move that an
opposition line of boats should he placed
on the river, as such an occurrence has
been expected; but the article aptly
says that Dalles people will stay by their
own line, for such we claim the D. P. &
A. N. lino, which is good enough for us,
and do not forget the bridge which
carried ns over w hen we were in the
direst straits.
However, "opposition is tbe life of
trade," end the middle Columbia will
no doubt furnish business for more than
ono line and things will be lively for a
time, if the report Is true, which we
doubt. The Telegram says :
"It is quite likely that another steam.
be at company besides the D. P. & A. X.
Co. will soon be operating boats betw een
Portland and The Dallas. There lias
been talk of a new lino over sinca the
Cascade locks were finished, hut for
some reason that Is as far as the matter
has gone.

Vancouver Transportation Company, is

ablest aud best boats on the river, and
one every way tulted for business on the
upper river.
"Prominent business men of The
