It h not likely Recruitina Officer Lswis sill visit The Dalles again as was intended when he left here for Salem, he havinz received orders to report for dury at Vancouver Barracks. The re quisite number of recruits for the Thirty fifth have been obtained, but other regi. ments are to be recruited. While it is not definitely known when the Thirty fifth infantry will depart for the Philip pines, it is quite probable they will be numbered among trojps that will be given transportation on the several transports that are scheduled to sail for the scene of the Filipino insurrection about September 10th. Claud McCoy is pretty badly bruised up as the result of falling from a train Thursday evening. It seems he was on his way to Pendleton, an 1 when just this side of Grants, feeling sick he stepped to the platform. A few min utes after he reached the steps he fainted and fell from the train. Thinking he was in the smoker his friends did not miss him. The accident happened at 1 o'clock and at 8 o'clock in the morn ing he regained consciousness and finding . . . joe could, and be generally did. We wish them success in their new under taking. Review. In spite of the farmers protests, the rainy meat her continues and yesterday was a drizzly, fall dav. .OS of an i. rh f rain having fallen and the maximum temperature being 63. About eight miles up Mill creek for a short time it hailed in earnest, but not long enough to cause any serious result. Today everyone has donned heavy coats and the skies look threatening, while it is certain that the section south and southeast has bad an unwelcome shower. The grain can stand but little more of this kind of weather. j There was a l.ij u time Saturday even ing at the altmarthe stock vaid?. w here property for sale in every quarter of the city; in fact all over Wasco coon ty If yoa hare a house to rent or want to rent a house call on old Dad;. Last evening about 5 o'clock a mar riage license was granted to Htnrv Hud son, Jr., and Marguerite Covev, both of Dufur. This morning at about 10 o'clock the lS-month old daughter of Mr. and Mr. J. Hecter, died at their home on East Fourth street. Supt. Gilbert is arranging for a county inslitnte to be held here on the 7lh, S;h and 9th of next month. State Supt. Ackerman will be present.

Horgan was the name of an in dividual who was arrested by Phirman about 4 o'clock this morning for having imbibed too freely. This morning be was fined $3 and is probably preparing for another arrest tomorrow morning. Fred Clarke has a briar pipe that went through tbe campaign at the Philippines with the boys of Oregon's 2d regiment. He gnve it to Walter Reavis when the boys sailed away and it is now returned as a souvenir of the war and is prized as such. Yesterday morning Edna Smith, young est daughter of Geo. W. Smith, the Glenwood merchant, was thrown from a horse and dislocated her arm at the el bow. Her father and Bister Mabel, ac companied her to this city, where Dr. Lojan gave the necessary medical as sistance. It was remarked by a grain buyer who has just come in f i out the wheat fields that wheat has not been injared in the least. This is fortunate, and even un expected for farmers were pretty blue at the time of the unusual and unwished rains. The sun shining on the wet standing grain has dried out the straw a little, but the kernels are not bleached or injured. Two weeks of good weather will put the crops out of barm's way, and ten days of that are reasonably sure to come. W. W. Statesman. Among thos9 who have npplied to the' volunteer employment committee in Portland for positions is D. C. Allard, who whs principal of the Boyd school when he went to war. As the date of his return was very uncertain, the di rectors elected a new teacher. Mr. Al lard waB a frequent visitor at the Chron icle ofliee upon his visits to this city when teaching at Boyd, and is a very bright young man. He holds first grade papers for the county and state, and no doubt he will soon find employment in some of our schools. II. C. Bateham, of Hood River, who has been in the city for the past week taking orders for fruit trees, called at this office this afternoon. He reports having taken many good orders from fruit growers along Mill creek and Cbenoweth. This year the trees here seem to Le more heavily laden than at Hood River, greater damage having been done there during the past winter. Mr. Bateham tasted the first peach plums and watermelons for the season while htre, the former crop being a total failure at Hood River. At a reception tendered to Chaplain Gilbert, of the Oregon volunteers, Wed nesday jglt j F,nienei among other things he gave the following statistics concerning the Oregon regiment: Total number of officers and enlisted men, 1331 ; average age. 24.08 years: average remained until No. 1 came by. Reach ing this city Dr. Geisendorffer dressed his wounds, which consisted of a badly bruised face and right hand. A very interesting entertainment was given at the Christian church last evening. The program consisted princi pally in the answering of questions which were propounded to the soldier boys present by tbe audience. Earl Sanders, W'. Brown, Jim Elion and John McXiel gave very satisfactory answers concerning the life on the islands and experiences in tbe battles. Among other 'things they told of how poorly the business places In Manila were kept; of their filthy condition ; and that the natives were certainly not capable of governing themselves. The boys think if a man could go to tbe islands with a capital of $10,000, there is no reason why he could not come back in five years independently rich J but if he attempts to get along on any less, he'll get back "dead broke." Upon being asked regarding tbe beauty of the Manila belles, Brown looked over bis audience and said Manila girls were not in it when lie could even glance at the belles before him. Being asked "what are the chances for a wife?" Earl Sanders said plenty for the wife, but he did not know shout the husband. And so with many instructive answers, interspersed with good natured banter, the evening passed pleasantly and at its cloee all were served with refreshments. weiK''t.

Oregon will soon be changing its name to Klondike, so numerous are the gold strikes becoming. That's the only kind of a strike Oregon has. The first huckleberries of the season were brought in today by the Indians. They say the crop is plentiful, but the cool weather and absence of sun prevents their ripening. Brigadier Marshall, North Pacific chief divisional officer of the Salvation Arrry, will conduct n Hallelujah wedding at the Baldwin opera house Saturday, Aug. 25th. All are cordially invited to attend. Judge Mays, who has been confined to his bed 'or the past three days, is improving slightly; but although he is anxious to be about his duties, he will be compelled to remain indoors for a few days yet. Mays !t Crowe evidently think winter has enme in earnest. This morning they unloaded two carloads of Wilson heaters A heater is not out of place this weather ; but no doubt we will yet have some days when they will not be needed. Mr. C. F. Baker, of The Dalles, repre senting the Union Mutual Life Insurance Co., who has been in La G.ande for some time, just received notice from the East that his uncle, Mr. frednck Uaker, of Stronghurst, Illinois, died and left an estate off 150,000 which will be equally divided between six children of the familv of John II. Baker, of The Dalles, there being no other heirs to the estate. La Grande Chronicle. The "New York Sons of the Revolution will make the one hondreih anniversary of the death of George Washington, December 14th next, great national affair. It Is said that President wc- Kinlev contemplates Issuing a suit able proclamation for the observance of the day. The director ot the Second Eastern" Oregon District Agricultural Society (or words to that effect) have not as yet decided upon place to hold the fair which has heretofore been held at this place. Pendleton will no doubt make an effort to secure it, as tbe question is being agitated there now. A letter received today from Moro tells of an accident which befell Julius Wiley, who now Uvea there. A week ago he was walking rapidly along the street in In the dark and running against a guy rope was thrown down and suffered a severe strain to the muscles of the back. He has since been unable to be about. John Hunsucker has aold hi mall route between Frlneville and Fossil, via Mitchell, to Joe and W. If. Sumner. Joe will be missed a a driver on The Dalle line. He ha been driver for number of yean and the comnon lay- be taken to the cannery at Linnton. These area portion of the 20J0 head which had been contracted for at $2 a head from tbe reservation Indians. No doubt they are all right in their way, but they didn't lock as though they'd weigh much. The men who work at the can nery claim they only use the hams for canning, and of course something is made off of the hides, hoofs, etc. Most of the canned horse meat is shipped to foreign countries. Oregon people are not yet fond enough of the delicacy to care to keep it all to themselves. Since the sale of their horses on Sat urday evening the Indians are having a high time, and have been spending their money like millionaires. Like their white tillicums thev put a good Ehare by for "boose" and one of thein fell by the wayside yesterday. He was so sleepy, however, that he didn't realize he was having a ride nor new quarters till he woke up this morning and had to pay 5 for his celebration. While opening up a wince from the lower level to the upper works last Sat urday the Golconda mine, seven miles from Sumpter, uncovered a pocket of very rich ore This was about 200 feet below the surface. The exterior of the mineral bearing quartz was in places literally covered with free gold. The ore is said to run about $25,000 to the ton and something like two tons were found at this rich point. Messrs. J. T. and J. G. English, the owners, are justly elated and are receiving the congratulations of their friends. Fifty thousand dollars a day Is not discouraging, even to veteran miners. American. Recruits for the Thirty-fifth infantry are paeeing through tbe city almost daily. This afternoon a crowd of I hem from different points in tbe East stopped at the Umatilla House for coffee. Sat urday afternoon a cir load came through and fairly took the East End by storm. They were hungry end didn't hesitate to make it known, but began as soon as the train stopped at the depot to skir mieh around for something to eat. Evi dentlv they had had plenty to .drink, and were full of what we supposa they termed patriotism ; but that isn't the name it goes by here, although both ar ticles are liable to get their devotees "shot." In a fire at Pendleton Saturday, which partially destroyed the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Liraebaugb, their 3-year-old son was uurneu to death, tie was playing upstairs and got hold of some matches and set fire to the room. When the mother rushed to the door she found it locked, and when she bad given the alarm and returned it was too late to saye him. A bravo young man finally appeared and rushed in through a mass of flames to save the child, but it was too late and he returned carrying the lifeless body. In keeping with the Chronicle's article of a recent date on morbid curiosity Is the following from the East Oregoniau : "While her son this brought to death in so tragic a manner, was taken away, the mother, prostrated with her grief, was being resuscitated at the home of Dr. Llme baugh, next door to ber own home, desolate and in ruins. And all this time a morbidly curious crowd jammed close up to the window and stood watch ing the suffering woman, as she lay gasping for breath and trying to want to live again in tbe realization of ber great loss. Deputy Sheriff Davis pushed them back, and was compelled to exercise his authority a an officer to compel these curious people to obey him." Tbe East Endera had a fire of their own yesterday morning about 3:45 and they showed that they could cope with the flames without assistance from the "Westerners." The old Gordon house on Fourth st reel caught fire from some hot ashes which had been thrown against the roof of a shed which projects on to the side of the hill. The East End bell was rung and the brewery whistle also gave warning. About a dozen of their company got out and did good work in extinguishing the fire The damage Is said to be about $100. The bouse was oc cupied by Mrs. Banghman, who makes a living for herself and boy by keeping boarders. Now the East End firemen are Joshing their West End brother be cause tbey knew nothing about it until it was all over. But tbe latter say they have a faint recollection of tome fires in that quarter they did know all about. Tueadny's Dally. Anyone wishing to make an invest ment in property, either within or with out tbe limit of ine i-aiiei, snouiu consult Dad Butt, becauss be ha been engaged as teacher. Ten men arrived In the city from Port land last night and today commenced work on another line for tbe Oregon Tel ephone Company between here and Tort land. Their business is continually im proving and yesterday fifty messages were put through at the office here in less thau three hours. General Summers will soon be re stored to his former position as appraiser of customs, and R. J. Hendricks, who filled the office during his absence in the Philippines, will resume the practice of law and the editorial management of the Salem Statesman, of which publi cation he is tie principal owner. The Degree of Honor are planning to give one of their pleasant socials Wednes day evening in Fraternity hall. This is good weather for dancing, and Prof. Birgfeld has been engaged to furnish music, so that will no doubt be the principal feature of the evening Pease & Mays will never be contented until everything in connection with their splendid store is faultless in its arrangement. They are now having the show windows enlarged by adding two feet and a half to their depth, and when the work is completed they will have ample room to display their stock of goods. George M. Weister, Portland's scenic photographer, and O. D. Wheeler, ad vertising agent for the Northern Pacific, came up on the boat yesterday, and to day made a trip to the upper Mema looee island for the purpose of obtaining photographs. They will secure many views along the river and of scenery near The Dalles. Mr. Wheeler has writ ten much which not only advertises his road, but Oregon in general. "Jack," the wharf boat dog, does not propose to allow any dog gone canine to infringe on bis rights so far as being the only dog on the dock is concerned. So last night when a measly cur made his appearance SB the Dalles City arrived, Jack forgot his duty, which consists in grabbing hold of the rope and pulling the boat in, and proceeded to remove the bark from his rival; Quite an excite ment prevailed as a result, but Jack came out ahead and so the Regulator line still continues in business at tbe old stand, Astorians have beep hoping against the greatest odds that on the first day of the regatta the sun would dare to peep through the ever-present clouds and favor that drenched community with bis smiling face. But although the day opened auspiciously, their hopes were dashed to the ground before the first evtnt was announced, for the clouds were again lowering and the day was a dismal one. The coronation of the queen was postponed until evening. A large crowd was in attendance but the dismal weather has cast a damper on the entire proceedings. All the farmers, and in fact every one for what interests them is of vital im portance to all are on the anxious seat concerning the cutcome of the crops and the effect the rains will have on the grain, it la tberelore encouraging to have such a call as that mado at The Chronicm office this morning by A. McLeod of the Kingsley neighborhood. He brought with him samples of the wheat which Remi Rondeau, whose farm is on Tygh RiJge, finished thresh ing yesterday. No one would ever dream of a failure when examining it, and Mr. Rondeau's crop averages forty-two bush els to the acre, and the barley fifty seven. He has ceased raising spring grain and by summer fallowing half of his land finds that be has a better crop than by hi former method. A few other wheat growers there have finished threshing with splendid results; but nearly all the spring grain it still stand ing. Mr. McLeod say the rain has done little if any damage on the other side of Dufur, and if it cease now renily no damage will be done. List Sunday it rained but about twenty minutes on the Ridge. If any have similar experiences, let another brother speak. Judge Bennett return! U-t night from Stevenson where he has been en gaged tryiug a case w hich relates to the hot springs at Wind river. Ii teems that an ajttempt was made by the county commissioner to raise the taxes on the property, which it owned by St. Martin, ! iroui fooo to 110,000. Thit move it is thought, has been made in the attempt to compel the owners to dispose of it In some manner so that other parties may secure it and thus make of it what the healing properties of the water would warrant a health resort. Judge Ben nett appeared for the defense, and suc ceeded in preventing- it beir.if raise,! In more than 11000. While it does not seem j ist to at- o wrencn irom the proprietors me land w hich has been theirs for at 1 a. . . . . east twenty years, at the same time they should not preyeut its beiug used for the greatest good to the greatest uumber. Like the dog in the manger, they seem inclined to improve the property as little as possible and prevent others from doing so. At diffarnt times large sums have been offered them for it, but they refuse to sell. There Is this advantage to be gained by the present condition, and that is people of small mean have an oppor tunity to go there and enjiy camping privileges by paying but a small sum to the owners. Wera some person or persons to fit it up as a summer resort, only the wealthier class could afford to frequent the place. A splendid way out of the difficulty would be for some one to lease a portion of the grounds and fit them up as a resort, leaving the re mainder to be used bv campers and charging a small sum for the use of the water. There is no doubt as to the healing properties of the water, which have been tested sufficiently this year at IeaBt. On the boat going to Portland last Satur day was a woman who bad spent but a few weeks there, and yet instead of be ing crippled with rheumatism to that she could not help herself as was the case when she went there, she was almost n spry 'as any of the other passengers. It Is to be hoped that many improve ments will be made before another season and the springs be the blessing they were designed to be. Upon the disbanding of the Oregon rt'giiii.iit. Chaplain tt'm, S. Gilbert wrote the following regarding tbe work of tbe organisation, which had goo through two wart in the Philippine islands. "The history of the Second Oregon regiment will always remain unchanged. It it complete and finished. Every member hat had pride in making our record what it it, and will alwayt fee a deep gratification in having had part in the event of this memorable year, "There are tome things in our history that cannot be expressed. The deep feeling of brotherhood that t lnda n ia more sacred than words. Wherever we may meet in year to come, to have been in tbe Oregon regiment together will be a bond of friendship. Nor can word tell the feeling, that we remem ber to well and with aching sorrow, that came when a comrade was slain by our sids in battle or lay for months in fever to be overcome at last by that worst foe. When we stood with uncovered head by the grave's side in the far away Luion, we turned away in silence, for no words could express our sadness. Nor can his tory ever tell the test that comes to courage when men, led on by a sense of duty, face death. But all these thing the soldier knows, and will never forget. "The regiment separates. We have tried to do our duty well. We have en deavored to honor our country and our state and those whose sons we are." The following table of statistics of the regiment is given out by some of the re turning soldiers: No.. leaving San Francisco, May 25, 18US ". 1013 No. of recruits 313 Are In Favor or The Dal Ira. Paul Mohr, together with Wm. Harrit, Oscar Huber and Engineer Strack, of the Cential Navigation & Construction Co., spent last evening and this morning in The Dalles. Last night they were enter tained at the Commercial Club, meeting many of our business men. Senator Turner, who is the head man of the com pany, and Mr. Evans, who was expected to join them here yesterday, failed to ar rive. The former will, however, be here some time next week. The engineer has completed his survey across the river, and as far as can be learnol the object of their visit is to determine whether or not the heavy work on the portage will be begun at once, which will probably be decided after Senator Turner's visit. The company is said to be in sympathy with-The Dalles and seem to be willing to do their part toward making this their terminus if Dalles people are enough in terested to do their part. The engineer will triangulate the river, and determine about what the cost of bridging it would be, and then the matter can be considered by our people. A splendid plan would be to appoint a committee of citiz.ns to confer with Senator Turner upon his visit next week. An Advertising: Bona.

Harmony whiskey for family and special ate, told by Ben Wilton, The Pallet. jl Friday when the Regulator retched Collins Landing, she had the misfortune to have her cylinder and crossbead. break. Engineer Granlund patched them up as best he could and took tho preciution to warn tho deck hands to lock the wash room and prevent anyone tnterinj as the steam w as liable to break loose and injure anyone who might be inside. Just after they left the landing George Percy, a deck hand, concluded tho dan ger was not so great after all and went in. He had no sooner entered than the engineer's words were verified and the steam poured in. Hit face and hand were badly scalded ; to much so that the skin iB off in places. He was in a predicament tb?n as to how to get out, as he could not face the steam by going out ot the door. He, however, man aged to get. out of the srr.all window, and by grabbing the life line lit on the guards. Few restoratives were at hand, but everything was done for him that was possible under the circumstances and on the return trip he was left at his home at White Salmon. The steamer made the rest of the trip in spite of her disabled condition ; bnt it was not considered practicable to at tempt the rapids with the paseengera aboard, to they were trans'erred to the Dalles City, which was met at Steven son, and that steamer made the leeks, when the Regulator passengers again boarded her for Portland, and tbe Dalles City came on, reaching here at about 8 :30 in consequence of the delay. The Flyer will make tho trip up today, while the cylinder of the Regulator fs being repaired. Marrlrd at Klaht-Mlle.
