One might imagine this wts May day. The weather is certainly perfect. No better could beatked, and if it continues, our peoplo will all be advertising for summer boarders. The applicants for connty teachers' certificates fifteen in number finished tbeir examinations yesterday afternoon and the result will be published Monday. There were no applicants for state papere. Last night at 10:25 o'clock Cordelia Hagan, wif'3 of James Hagan, died of blood poisoning at her home near the garrison. She was 29 years of age, and leaves a husband and 3-year-old son. The funeral will take place from the Cotholic church tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. An exchange says that a certain news paper printed an item to the effect that a certain r. sident, whose name it did not give, bad better stop kissing his hired girl, or he might be found out. Twenty-seven men called on the editor and immediately stopped their paper; and accused him of Interfering in th?ir domestic affaire. The showers of rain during tho week have seriously interfered with heading and will cause some delay to threshing crews that were to begin operations the first of next week. Grain seems to be better than was expected, and if tho hot spell in July had let it alone this section would have broken the record on crops. Dufur Dispatch. Marshal Hughes does not enjoy dis turbing any one's slumbers, bnt when he finds the sidewalks obstructed by a lodger, he is liable to disturb the spirit of his dreams. And so J. Graham, who got in the wrong berth yesterday after noon, soon found himself in jail to sober op. He was fined (5, but refusing to pa; is now celebrating in the cooler. It is not known to what extent grain has been Affected by the rain, but It is not thought that any injury was done. From the fact that straw is not tall or heavy this year, standing grain will be able to withstand a considerable amount of rain. Heading and threshing, bow ever, will be delayed for a day or two until grain sufficiently drjs. Of course farmers were decidedly uneasy for fear of more ram but there should be no further cause of apprehension as the weather report for today reads "fair; -warmer." W. W. Union. It is to be regretted that the hot springs at Wind river cannot he better utilized. Everv one who comes up from there tells of the healing properties of the water and what a blessing it might he if the property were but in the hands of some one who would improve it and provide a suitable place for visitors to stay. As it is, the owners re fuse to sell and also to make any im provements themselves. The fare is very poor and the bath houses miserable. We firmly believe it is ahead of Bingham Springs and on a par with Glenwood were the right means used to utiliza it. It is always said that bad news spread rapidly. 8uch, however, was not the case with thatof the Mitchell fire, which occurred a week ago yesterday. Today the news Is received for the first time. In slowness is accounted for from the fact that the town is 120 miles from the fiver, which if the nearest railroad point. The fire started in an old barn, here it is supposed some children were Playing with matches. At first it was feared that tho fire was Incendiary, but tl'is impression has been removed. Ten to twelve buildings were destroyed, of which four or five were stores, one a hotel, one a livery stable, and some a loons. Jurt to show that Dalles people know good thing when they see it and re backed by the Intelligent clast of other cities, here is what the East Ore onlan says of "Lovj and Law" as Played by the 8haw company: "It was on of the cleverest things ever done on the stage in Pendleton. The word clever n'ually applies to a single actor, rather than to an entire play. But, this one, 'n its writing as well as in its rendering by the company, its ensemble, may be referrid to at clever. The members of the company were well cast. Not one unable to handle his part, and this insured a balanced production through ont. It was commonly remarked that very actor on the stage was about as good at any other on tLl tccasion, to U tdaptel wat erch for the part assigned." Honor to whom honor it due, and iuii uemg oor policy we desire to cor rect a mistake in regard to the com panies which were foremost in the performance of duty at yrtterday't fire. Instead of Jackson company we should have said that the Coiumbias assisted the Ml. Hood, although the former were on hand later; and also that the Hook and Ladder company was on hand and did some good work in their line of duty. We are also informed that the force of water was as much as could have been expected under the clrcuin stauccs, the hose being attached to a plug 550 feet down a pretty steep grade, making it impossible to get a very powerful force. The force looked small tothoee wh are nsed to the a. reams which are obtained below the blutf. And dow the Columbia Southern bobs up serenely, ai.d, according to the Dufur Di patth, The Dulles is soon to be a thing of the past. From the number of times we have ennk into oblivion and m.-tde our appearance on the tun notch again, tho name of our city should be changed to "Phoenix." . By the way, that would re a solution of Tha Dalles Dallas -problem. The Dufur Dispatch says: "Late last night we learned that, Moore Bros., bankers of Moro, and the Columbia Southern Eailroad Company had purchased 2000 acres of laud at Cross Hollows, and that it was the in tention of the company to build large feed yards and warehouses and make that the terminus of the road. If such report be truo it will greatly effect The Dalles, not only as a shipping point but as a trading point also." Monday's Dally. Sheriff Kelly was engaged today in selling Wasco county property which was held for delinquent taxes on the '97 roll. The county secured most of the property A sixty-five horee power engine and machine for the new saw mill now being put up just above the freo bridge at the Deschutes, was started out this after noon for that place. We are pleased to notice that Lewis Porter is again able to attend to his duties at the livery stable, he having suffered for some time with rheum'atiem, being confined to his room. The friends of Mrs. E. Hill, whose life for the past few days has been despaired of, will learn with ma. in satis faction that she is considered much better and recognized her husband and friends this morning. Workmen are engaged today n tear ing down the old Lusher house, on Fourth street, where S. Wilkerson will erect a new residence. This is one of the oldest residences in the city; but must make way for the changes which must needs come with the growth of a city. The Goldendale Agriculturist tells of an accident to Harold, the young sou of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. McLeod, formerly of this city, last week at that place, by the accidental explosion of some gunpowder. One side of bis face was pretty badly burned and it will probably leave him a life long scar. Mr. Geo. E. Stewart is in a poeition to receive one or two pupils in shorthand (Ben Pitman system) for the coming fall. Mr. Stewart has had a wide ex perience in teaching and writing short hand during the past ten years, and is thereby well qualified to give thorough instructions in this interesting pro fession. A pleasant feature of last evening's performance was the presentation to Mr. Shaw by the Chicamaugua Circle, No. 1, ladies of the G. A. R., of a handsome steamer rug made at the Pendleton woolen mills. It was in recognition of the offer made by Mr. Shaw of the services of his band at the court house. E.O. Mrs. Geo. St. John, who has spent several months in The Dalles left this morning for her home in Southern Ore gon. She was accom panic t by her mother, Mrs. R. Lusher, who having sold her property In this city, will make her home with her daughter. Mrs. Lusher is one of the old residents of The Dalles and it was with difficulty that she was persuaded to leave the city for a new home. Some men are so syniphathetic that they are willing to share your last dollar with you. When a debtor puts on airs and the creditor gets wind of it, they sometimes come to blows. Frank LaRose was arrested yesterday afternoon for being drunk, and this morning forfeited hit watch as paymeut of a f 5 fine. Hon. John Sommervllle has secured the Bennett cottage on Fourth street, and Mrs. II. E. Mitchell Is now In the city superintending fitting it up, pre paratory to their moviug In from Hay Creek. A letter received by friends from Mrs. Neilie Murchle tells that after the burn ing of their grocery store in Lewiston. they moved to North Yakima, where Mr. Murchle it again engaged In the liv ery business. Look at this. 400.00 will buy a good tix room house, a good barn and two fine lots, situated in the west end of Eleventh street. Owner will take $150.00 and the balance in one year. See Dad Buttt. Tht Orcgonian tayt that First Lieut. Malcolm 8.

Perhaps never before In the historv of Montana was there so much woik to be done with so few laborers to do It, says the Helena Independent. Tha employ ment agencies report a greater demand for men than they have known for years. From every part of the state come in quiries for workingnirn . No able bodied man who wants to wor.k needs to look around long for a job. The urd. nance against cows runuing at large is being enforced strictly, as one f our dairymen ditcoveied this mnruing. U ie r.f his cows had bet n t ut in the pound when found running about the c:ty. i nJ be proceeded to that place and took the animal out. He was thin arrested and compelled not only to pay the f 1 for the release of the cow, but the costs of his arreet. Same one mast have got "eliot" the night the Lays came home and fallen against Harry Liebe's plate-glass show window from the appearance. Iu one corner is a crack which looks as if some thing had been thrown or fallen against it. Tia lucky for Harry tho fall w as a light one, for no clew as to the cause of it has been obtained and had it been but a little worse, must have necessitated putting in a new glass. Aud now thoee who were compelled to remain at home from the seaside and camping places are congratulating them selves that they "had the good taste" to stay at home, while those who are pay ing $14 a week board at the seaside are getting a bath without going in tho ocean, and paringdearfor it. The hotel keepers at these resorts are "sick of livin''and areatoata with theelements, for although we will surely have another eeigo of hot weather, it cannot last long enough to justify "guests remaining dur ing the rainy season. Those who have traveled on the buffet- library car which was placed on trains No. 1 and 2 between Chicago and Port land on the 10th, say they are "beauts. Among the conveniences in the smokiog saloon Is a -a riting iU.nk and writing ma terial, with the O. R. & N. stamp upon it. The postal cards are especially novel, having printed thereon five small views along the Columbia river. These make splendid souvenelrs, and are just the thing a tourist would wish to send back to friends in the East. If Oregon is not advertised it is not the fault ot its transportation companies. A year ago today tho Mays & Crowe block and that on the opposite side of the street were in ashes, presenting an appearance tliut would dishearten the most eanguine and cause them to predict anything rather than that the desolate place Bhould bo transformed as it is to day. About midnight on the night of the 14th the fire started and in the space of a few hours the splendid hardware store of Maya & Crowe and all surround ing buildings for more than a block were laid low. Scarcely can one realize that but a short year has paesed sinco the conflagration, when upon looking around they view one of the finest, (if riot the finest) hardware store on the coast, and all about it good buildings, mak ing it the center of the business portion of the city. This is bnt another proof of the aggreeeivtnees of some of our busi ness men and the Phenix-like procliv ity of The Dalles. Will We Continue Patriotic? Editob Chroniclb : The rifonlfl of The Dulles have shown by the hearty welcome extended to our soldier boys that a genuine feeling of true patriotism has hold of them. Now after the creetine is over, let not that feeling wave, but by those little acts that go to make up groat ones, bow that the feeling Is deeper than simply an excited greeting. Can we not find a nines here and there. where work can be found for willing hands? When the uniform is laid off let us till rccogniza tbeiu as our soldier boys, 'Oreiron's nride." While we should do this with our own boys, that duty ex tends farther. There is a young "Rough Rider," so lis said, within our midst, with a broken constitution, trying to earn an honest living by conducting a restaurant down in the East End adjoining Farley's har ness shop.

Smiley Those of us who have for a few months or years at most, wandered in die tance lands among the most pleasing environ ments, and then upon our return felt the thril of pleasure and the heart beat with rapture as the familiar scenes oi homo sweet home burst upon our view can have even then but a very faint con ception of what must have been the feel ing of the twenty-five bravo soldier lads who stood on the upper deck of the Reg ulator last Saturday evening and caught a glimpse of the dear old hills surround ing them, the picturesque little city on the banks of the old Columbia, the sea of anxious faces ready to welcome them home again from a foreign shore and felt The Dalles bretzas which wafted a welcome. True, they have received greeting upon greeting since they Cist landed on the shores of our sister state ; but what does that compare with the heart-felt welcome of kindred nnd friends? There were tears In many eyes as our trusted friend, the good steamer Regu lator, warned us of their approach, and the many whistles, anvils and bells answered buck our greeting and told in unmistakable tones of the welcome they were to receive. With the exception of tho militia, the U. A. R., W. R. C, the blind and the reception committee, all others were barred from the dock, save the fifty little girls who carried flowers and banners with which to greet them, and presented every one with a bequet. But every available space near was crowded. After a short delay in landing the boys finally marched off the steamer, as the strain! of "Home Sweet Homo" were borno to them from the band, and cheer after cheer went up, On the dock they were greeted by relatives and friends, and as the former clasped them and with streaming eyes welcomed them the captain's wife said, s the tears rolled down her cheeks, "I have wept for very joy till my eyes ache over such affecting scenes as these." Soon the line of march was formed, and the parade,led by Marshal Wheuldon and his aides, followed by Mayor Kuek andG. C. Blakeley proceeded on the first route which bad been planne-d, halting at the banquet hall. Hero tliere was another hand-shaking; but finally, after prayer by Rev. Wood, all were seated, and soon the volunteers voluntarily scattered the chicken and other good things as successfully as they did the Filipinos. The W, R. C. deserve much praise for the splendid banquet served, and the manner iu which it was dis posed of betokened appreciation. The time from that on till 8:3t was spent with friends and in general re ception. AT THE ARJfOBY. Armory hall has been beautifully dec orated many times in the past, but upon no occasion has it been more approp riately arranged than on that of the re ception, which took place at 8 :30 in the evening. Under the skillful hands of Lieut. R. A. Spivey, and a squad of soldiers from Company D. the ceiling had been draped in bunting which formed a tent, the sides being raised and displaying scenery beyond. On the sides of the hall were hung pictures of the battle-ships, and heroes of the bat tles, while flags and red white and blue bunting were tastefully draped about the wall. On the stage were seated the mayor, Capt, Wells, Lients. Teller and Povey, several of our own volunteers, the speak ers of the evening and members of the G. A. 11. After the hall was filled with an enthusiastic audience, and cheer npon cheer had been given as Capt. Wells, Lieut. Telfcr, and each of the boys in turn were seated, the program was opened with prayer by Rev. Wool. F. W. Wilson, who had pro n t.-d the boys when they It ft that upon their return rousing reception should be given, was then introduced by the mayor and in a manner peculiar to him self, told of the Joy at their return, the anxiety with which their (every move ment was followed, and the satisfaction tbeir victories occasioned. Hit tribute to the fallen heroes who failed to return, and whose names were engraven on tablet which stood on the stage, thuily, "la memory of William Fields, Henry 0 FIaherty, Charles Rubart," vat elo quent and most touching. Capt. Wells, in response, told of the esteem In which be held the members 01 Company L, and of the bravery ot The Dal'es boys; of the feeing of couiradship which existed, and which he hoped would not be broken though they be separated. Lieut. Telfer was called upon and paid a glowing tribute to our boys, t.ty ing that he had overheard Col. Summers say that Company L could take care of itself. And at another time that Com pany L could get along without officers. He also said that a good soldier would make a good son, a good employe a good husband, and advised the young ladles to embrace the opportunity. Prof. Lenders welcomed them in be half of the public school, of which some were students. He recited how the pupils had watched eagerly for every line of news concerning thoin, and how their victories encouraged them. He paid a high tilbute to their valor and said he could hut say of them, "Here they are. Match them." The greatest excitement prevailed as Walter Reavis was called for and after ward Earl Sanders, and they could scarcely begin speaking for tho loud applause which greeted them. Each told of his j y at being home once more and of how they thought of dear ones while on that far off shore. Sargeant Edwards, of Portland, made a ueat Utile speech, and closed by in forming the Dalles girls that If they took advantage of Lieut. Teller's advice, and there were not enough Dalles boys to go around, to keep those of Portland in mind. The speeches were Interspersed with tolos by Rev. Poling and Mies Myrtle Michel!. The former sang "The Roll Call," a touching selection well fitted to the occasion, while the latter sang "The Oregon Volunteers," and as an encore "Just as the Sun Went Down." At the close tho audience sang "Amer ica" again and again, until it was sung with enthusiasm befitting tho occasion. The floor was then cleared and to the music of Birgfeld's orchestra dancing was indu'ged till midnight. The soldier boys have lost none of their love for this popular pastime, Bud made tiie most of the opportunity. Altogether the reception was a great success, and the Dalles boys, as well ns their visitors, were much pleased with the welcome they received in The Dalles. They will never forget it; nor will we, who consider this an occasion which will go down in the history of our city. fiutea or the lleoeptlon. On Fame cternul camping ground Their silent tcnta arc spread ; Ai.d (i lory guards, with lolcmn round, The bivouac of the dvad. Ho comet the conquering hero comes. Johnny comes marching home aaiii. Hurrah! Hurrah! There is nothing the matter with Ore gon and the Oregon volunteer! Only the brave deserve the fair. Our friend Cradlebaugh adds: "For only the brave can live with them." The kodak fiends are on parade, and as turn about is fair play, the boys will now be shut. Not by Filipinos, either. Remember, girls, the boys are not arm-less, if they did leave their "arms" in San Francisco. All's fair in love and war. Here at last the lesson has been taught an.) learned that you cannot chain the englp, you dare not harm tbe dove; but every gate barred to. hate will open wide to love. The Salvation Army was prominent in the parade, and wore the red, white and blue in profusion. Among (lie volunteers were two of their number, who made brave soldiers. Of the many mascots which the boys in the different companies brought home, none was more a favorite than that of Company L. "Tip," a bright little pug dog, which belongs to Chris Lowe, of this city, and which he took to Manila with him and left with the company when ho returned. He was in every skirmish, march and encounter, and in the battle at San Antonio be saw several chickens fly np and ran out on the firing lines where the bullets were thickest to capture them. Indeed, the boys say he would bring them chickens when they had nothing to eat. He knew every member ci the company and would give no heed to any one outside. The boys all love him and parting with him was like parting with a friend, who had been with them through thick and thin. Somehow on every suspicions occasion and in everything of credit to our city, our tried and true friend, the Regulator line, figures consplcioualy and never leaves us in tbe lurch. Therefore what more characteristic than that when the newt reached us the boys were on their way borne, the company should immediately send dispatch offering them the hospitality of the boat and transportation up the river, with meals furnished. This they accepted gladly and to in the history of ooeof the great est events in connection with our city, the good old Regulator will fill a prom inent place. Not contentedwith that, and deemingit a happy Idea that at many of their company at could thonld ac company them up tbe river and receive a share In the welcime here, tley ex tea led them the, tame privileges and transportation back today, wbicb waa accepted by about twenty-five, and was one of tbe most pleasing features of the occasion. AH are extremel grateful to the D. P. A A. X. Co. for their morw than generosity iu this regard. The gaily attire of the Regulator at tbe steamed into dock, laden with ber prec ious burden, was befitting the occasion, and presented a charming picture to those who awaited her coming. She was "decked in fl.igi and streamers gay in honor of reception day." Alt around her were flying the international naval code of signals, the banners which spoke (or the welcome of the various societies of our city, and our own "Glory" tower ing over all. Inside was also draped the cilorsof our country entwined about pictures of the battleships, our heroes and scenes from the field ot conflict. Not only did the boat itself speak elo quently of our greeting, tut on board her were those who in every way possi ble showed that their welcome wat gen erous and the trip waa one of gladness from the time they were mot until they lauded here. And as every small sta tion was reached the residents and those who were camplng'uear thronged to the beach and made all sorts of demonstra tion, filing oil fire crackers, revolvers and everything available. Iu one iso lated spot a patriotic old gentleman ap peared on the bluff, holding in his band a long pole with a flg on the end, which he waa waiving heartily. Each sign from the beach was answered w ith a sig nal Irom the steamer. Oregon Volanteera' Engagement.

Co., is authority for the statement that utter demoralization exists among the employes of the different Union Pacific feeders and connections in that city. The Urion Pacific is about to obtain control of the Oregon Short Line and O. R. A N., which, through a part of the rystein, have betetofore been operated under independent management. All these lines maintain general pat senger, freight, ticket aud traveling agents besides a largo force of clerks in their Portland offices. The result of the consolidation of interests will merge the whole of each department of the several roads Into one general department, which is sure to result in the sacrifice of no less than 40 or 50 positions by the employes who have heretofore held their positions under the independent man agements.
