The Redoien conferred the chief's de
gree on four worthy and well-tried war
riors at their wip warn last night. They
also appointed committee to scout the
forest for venison for the next kinliing
of the council brand.
' Watermelons are not only smiling on
tbe vine, tat on the sidewalks, the store
racks, in wagons loaded for market, and
in every available place. They seem to
be extra numerous this year, and car
loads are continually being shipped.
As Rev. Wood and family will not
leave the city until next week, the recep
tion to have been given for him tonight
has been postponed until a' later date,
when all members and friends of tbe
church and League are Invited to be
present.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cram passed
through the ci'.y on the afternoon train
on their way from Union to tbe Sound
country. Mr. Cram got off at the depot
to see about some baggage and some
friends who happened to be on hand
bad the p'eaeure of shaking hands with
the groom.
Last Monday a man by the name of
White, who has lived on Juniper Flat
for the past eleven years, was being
taken to Dufur for treatment, when hp
died on the road, No particulars con
cerning hi in could be obtained other
than that be leaves a wife and five
children.
When the hook and ladder boys were
down to the fire this morning they
noticed that the back wall of the old
laundry was In a toppling condition and
Asst. Chief Gunning ordered it torn
down to prevent accident. It would not
be a had idea for the entire ruins to be
removed, m they are anything but orna
mental to that part of town.
Mr. J. T. English, of the famous Glen
conda mine left Sumpter last Friday
and has probably arrived in San Fran
cisco by this time with carload of ore
from the mine, which he will turn over
to ine .elby .tiros', smelter. He ex
pects it to run $3000 per ton, or f 160,000
for the car. Another car of ore not
quite so rich is to be shipped after Mr
English returns.
At the time of a conflagration when
the fire boys get out and "drill" in
earnest, and the Hook and Ladder
laddies face the flames and daringly
climb into the very jaws of death to save
our property, everybody says they de
crve praise." rraise Is all right in a
way, but It don't weigh much unless
accompanied by the "real thing" wben
ft is needed. Now let everyone get in
and see how much substantial praise
they can give toward fitting the boys
out in their new riggln'. Keep the ball
'oiling until it is covered with the
wherewithal.
A commendablo move was made by
the recent couuty court when at the In
stigation of Sheriff Kellv, It d.cidedto
be lenient in the collection of onpaid
taxes till the first Mondav of November.
The sheriff requests this, stating that
the time to be allowed would admit of
farmers marketing their grain and re
ceiving the money to meet their obliga-
t'ons. The request was granted with
the understanding that at thai time a
warrant would be placed on the roll
impelling him to immediately proceed
br levying and sale to collect all taxes
'emaining unpaid.
Some four years ago the postoffice at
Clarno, in what is now Wheeler county,
. burned. The postmaster did not
dm it worth while to mention a trifling
"latter like this to the department. The
department felt aggrieved, and insti
lled a suit against the negligent post
"aster, and aecured a Judgment against
"'m fur 2r,0. Deputy United States
Marshal Morse, who was cent to Wheel
er county a few days agi to collect this
Judgment, arrived home yesterday with
the money, which WM promptly paid,

n'l Mr. Sargont says he does not under

fur help were heard as far as Peter
Godfrey's place on the tide hill aiToii
the creek, and in ompany with Mr.
Sargent and his son, Mr. Godfrey and
two other man had hard work to extri
cate him from the pise where he was
pinned by the wagon, and finally dug
down with shovels to gn him out, tbe
while he pleaded with them ta kill fcim.
He Is still alive, however, and the doc
tor thinks will recover. He is partic
ularly unfortunate, having lost his wife
about six weeks ago and was taking out
a tombstone, when through the careless
ness of a drunken man he nearly lost his
own life.
Monday a man by the name of Edward
Wilson and his wife boarded the Dalles
City at CorbtttV, having with them a
spring wagon and a good team. When
they reached the city and the D. P. & A.
X. company attempted to collect Ireight
charges, they refused to pay and at
tempted to take the team and wagon.
but the agent was on the alert and told
them he would allow them to be left in
Ward & Robertson's charge until the
money was paid. They were taken to
the stable, but the money was paid later
Seeing a notice in the Oregonian that a
party of their description had left Port
land, taking with them a team belonging
to J. b. Andrews, who had kindly
brought them from Los Angeles overland
as they wished to come and had no con
veyance, Mr. Allaway called up the
chief of police there and informed him of
their whereabouts. In the meantitut, the
police had written to Marshal Hughes
and said he thought they had come this
way. They were found camped on the
Williams lot on Fourth street and were
arrested and are now being held nntil an
officer comes np from Portland.
Tbe fire bug is certainly right after the
laundry and everything connected with
it. Much to the eurprise of everyone,
wben the buildings were burned about
twenty-two bales of hay stored under
the front part of the east building es
caped; but it also had to go, so this
morning the sound of the fire bell, which
has become so familiar of late, was again
heard, and the hay was found to be
burning. The fire boys put it out, but
moet of the hay was destroyed. It is
supposed to be of incendiary origin, and
the authorities think they have the right
man. LaBt night Smiley, who is em
ployed straightening up in the burnt
buildings, found a morphine fiend called
"Kid Moore," underneath the building
and sent him away. As some men were
running from the East End to the fire
this morning they saw him run up the
railroad track. Later be came into
Clarke & Falk's drug store and his
clothes were covered in straw. Phirman
has had his eye on him for some time
and he had promised to leave town,
so shortly after the fire, seeing him
about the streets, hut not knowing of
the suspicions, he arrested him. Later,
Phirman waj advised of the circum
stances and he will now be held until
the matter has been investigated. Such
characters should be gotton out of town
as soon as possible.
Thursday'! Dally.
Harry Metzler, a 12-year-old boy, fe 1
off of a small raft in tho Willamette
at Portland yesterday and was drowned.

This afternoon about 2:30 o'clock
Helen, the 3-year-old daughter of J. M.
Huntington, fell down the stairs into the
basement, and striking her chin cut a
gash about two inches long. She was
taken to Dr. Logan's office, who took
three stitches in the wound.
Tbe matrimonial fever seems to have
struck Tho Dalles, and those who have
not been vaccinated had better do so at
once; or if any prefer innorulation now
seems to be the acceptable time as some
of our best people are victims of the
disease.
Although Oregon cannot take any
formal part in the reception to Admiral
Dewey upon bis arrival in New York,
Oregonian are none the lees patriotic
and appreciative of his work In the
Philippines, and the governor has re
quested that a wire be eent fiom that
state informing us of the exact minute
of bis arrival so that a salute of seven
teen guns may be tired.
Rumors of a battle royal which oc
curred on 12-Mile recently.reached us to
day ; but judging that our readers nave
troubles of their own, we have not taken
the pains to publish it. The partici
pants were not such that there affairs
are of any luteresc to the public.
An officer arrived in the city last night
from Portland and returned on the early
morning train having in charge Edward
Wilson and wife, who had been arrested
for stealing a team belonging to Jack
Andrews and bringing it up here.
Marshal Hushes sent the wagon and
team down on the boat this morning.

she was delayed by trains, etc., and
did not reach Dufur until yesterday. It
was impossible to keep the body of her
husband und she returned to find that
he had been buried, whereas when she
left he was In good health.
On the margin of the Umatilla house
register today was written the word
Shanik", the name of the new town at
Cross Hollows. Inquiring as to why it
occupied such a prominent place, we
were informed that a number of his
friends had bet Walter Moore, who is in
town today, that he didn't know how to
spell the name of the town himself and
had spelled it Shanko to the Oregonian
reporter, consequently the mistake in
that paper. As proof to the contrary
he wrote it down for the boys.
Sufficient proof could not be found to
convict "Kid Moore," the morphine
Bend, of setting fire to tbe hay which
was burned yesterday morning, and
this morning he was given three days in
the county jail for vagrancy. It seems
that he was not the same man that
Smiley found under the building Tues'
day night; but it was a fact that when
he caj)e into Clarke & Falk's store yes
terday he was covered in hay. The
"dope" practice seems to be prevalent
in our city and the sooner the town is
rid of the victims the better for It.
Among the unfortunate fiends In Pa
vannah has been discovered one ad
dicted to the eating of starch, which it
is said is stored away on the average of
pound a day. The unfortunate la a
woman and In her desperation she will,
after failure to get lump starch, chew up
old clothes, or anything else which gives
the taste of starch. After close quea
t'.oning recently she admitted that she
had been eating starch in erode lumps
for a number of years, and that she
could not get along without it. She told
the physicians she gulped it down dry,
with scarcely enough tnosture to admit
of Its passage into the stomach. It was
learned she eats about pound a day.
The run of fall salmon did not come
up to expectations with the opening of
the full season and the boats' all bad
small catches Sunday. Reports from
the middle river, where the most fishing
s being done, are the same. The fish,
however, are good quality and are being
sold at two cents a pound. It is yet con
sidered too early for Itf regular run of
fall salmon and Daliennen do not expect
to do much for at least two weeks yet.
There are scarcely any steelheads In the
river and consequent! the fishermen are
not trying for them. The price offered
for these salmon is 5 cents a pound.

Chas. Somers, the mining engineer
and mineral expert, recently returned
from the lower Columbia section where
he had hern to examine some coal
properties for a corporation. Mr.
Somers is always conservative, but he
las no hesitancy in saying that there is
i-ntvof coal in certain localities in
,
that part of Oregon. The reporter has
had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Somers'
ollioial report and we note that ho has
discovered a splendid Vein of coal six

this morning took unto himself a wife
In the person of Miss Emma Morse, of
East Portland. The ceremony took
place at the home of the bride's mother
this morning at 9:30 o'clock, and was
performed by the Presbyterian minister,
of which church the bride is a member.
Many Dalles people have met Miss
Morse during her visits to this city and
have greatly admired her sweet, lady-
nno uuniiucr sou cnarming disposition.
They are not therefore surprised that
Mr. Riddell should have coveted her as
a life companion, but congratulate him
upon the realization of his fondest hopes.
Knowing the character of the groom,
how he has by industry and application
won for hiuieelf a place of trnet in the
community and also of his special care
and thouthtfulness for his mother and
sisters, we bespeak for tbe bride a happy
married life, and join with all their
many friends in the hope that it may be
a long and prosperous -one. After a
short wedding trip they will return and
make their home In the residence of
Mrs. Mary French on Fourtli street.

A letter received by friends from Chas.
Johnson, wioisat the Good Samaritan
hospital in Portland, says that ho is now
able to sit up, but that it will be at least
two weeks before he will be able to be

are pleased to learn that Mr. Johnson is
improving and will be glad when they
can again welcome him home.
It is said the United States lias 4,000,
000 working women. Surely this must
refer to those whose work calls them
away from home duties ; for bow much
that number would be augmented did it
included the working women" whose
"work Is never done," and whom we
could not dispense with half so well as
we could with tbe others, although it
seems that both classes have become a
necessity.
About twenty-five of her young
fliends surprised Miss Edio Fisher last
evening by gathering at her Lome to
give her a farewell party before her de
parture to attend school in Portland.
She did not expect them, but they were
none the less welcome, and the hours
were very pleasantly spent, dancing be
ing the principal enjoyment. Refresh
ments were served, and It was about the
midnight hour before they bade her
good bye and the party broke up.
Howard Ackerman, in company with
Doug Langille and two other gentlemen,
made the ascent of Mt. Hood last Fri
day. The thousand-foot life line is bur
ied under ten feet of snow, thus making
the ascentinore difficult, and many
times it was necessary for the guide to
cut steps in the ict with his hatchet.
The atmosphere being free from clouds
and smoke enabled the party to obtain a
splendid view. This was Dog's 52nd

That Spokane has gained the prom
inence it has as a business center and
Pease & Bays,
an all-alive city, is in a measure due to
the efforts of one of the beet and most
ably edited paper in the United States
the Spokesman-Review. Recently the
paper has published a quarterly contain
ing the story of "A Million Dollar
Check' and also other true treasure
tales. It is devoted principally to the
mining interests nf Washington and
Idaho. The cover, which is lithographed,
is a splendid work of art, novel in design
and complete in evory way. The Quar
terly, which is publibhed every ninety
days, is filled with beautiful photo
gravures, descriptive of mining interests,
accompanied by reading matter calcn-
' liUea lt B've one K00(1 iJea of the
wealth of that section. It also has many
views of Spokane and the surrounding
scenery, not entirely slighting Oregon,
w hich makes it a nice ornament to
library. Spokane speaks for itself if any
one has the opportunity to visit the city ;
but such publications will do unci
to advertise it and the surrounding
countrv abroad.
Monument Fund Eulortlnment .
Little has been done in The Dalle
toward the soldiers' monument fund,
and the Chronicle is more than pleased
to see that the little ones are Betting an
example worthy of emulation. Like
the widow's mite, the money raised by
tbe children is really more thau the
large sums given by those who have an
abundance. Beside the effect of such
efforts upon the children is wholesome
and will tell in thoir character In after
years. They should be encouraged by
the presence of all their friends.
We refer to an entertainment which
will be giveu at tbe home of Genevieve
Fish, by the children of tbe neighbor
hood, tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon at
2 o'clock. The proceeds will be sent to
swell the monument fund, and an ad
mission of 15 cents will be charged the
"big" folks, while children under 14
will be admitted for 5 cents.
The following will be the program :
