tempt you to absent yourself from
church on that day and go off fishing.
If you must go fishing on Sunday leave
for the fishing ground Saturday night
so as to get an early start Sunday morn
ing. Occasionally a flash of humor lights up
the turgid and pompous editorials in the
Seattle Times. A recent bit of a joke
that appeared in that paper was the
statement that the Portland Oregonian
is a Republican paper. The Oregonian
is about as much of Republican paper
as the Seattle Times or Spokane Spokesman-Review.
Lincoln County Times.
At Moro last Monday Jude Lowell

arrested some time ago for forging
check on Scott & Co., of Grass Valley,

Sheriff Kelly learned today from Du
fur that II. Elmer Noland, who was re
ported yesterday as having disappeared
with the Dnfiir Dispatch man's horse
and buggy and an unknown amount of
the Lispatch funds, had left the horse
end buggy at Lane Smith's at the
Twelve-mile house, on the Canyon City
road. Noland arrived at Smith's at 3
o'clock Thursday morning. He secured
bed and asked the landlord to call hi in
early. In the morning, leaving the
horse and buggy behind, Noland securod
a ride to The Dalles with a man by the
name of Ring. He got ofT at the brew
ery and told Ring he would see Mm
later at the feed yard, and that is the
last reen of him.exceptthat he is known
to have made for the railroad track and
of course must have left town as he is
too well known here to make his stay
desirable to himself. How much of the
Dicpatch funds Noland got away with
is not known.
"I have lived 33 years ia Eastern Ore
gon," said Jim Grer, of Victor, to the
Cuko.viclb man this morning, "and I
have never seen the soil so well t atur
ated with moisture nor the grain croo so
fall of promise of a big harvest as they
are at this moment. I have three
hundred acres sown to fall wheat that
looks as fine as any I ever saw in my
life; and It is the same all over the
Wapanitla fiat." Mr. Grey says there
was a bard frost on the flat night before
last that he fears may have injured the
fruit prospects. However, Jim never
worries himself about crossiug bridges
until he runs up against them. He is a
sound money Democrat, has a healthy
liver, trusts in God, reads The Chroni
cle and votes the Republican ticket.
Thursday's Daily

sent Gilliam county In the Republican
etate convention are Messrs. Ward,

A thief pried off the boards of the
shed back of the Baldwin restaurant
last night and got away with about
fifteen pounds of beef and a quantity of
underclothing belonging to a Chinese
employe of the restaurant.
It may be well to call attention to the
fact that taxes will be delinquent on the
first of the month. The sheriff reports
that collections for the present month
have been very light, being not much
more than half what they were at this
time last year.
The Portland Commercial Review, of
this date, says quotations for wheat in
that city cover a wide range and prices
are from 52,' .,o to 53 '2c per bushel for
club, valley 53c and blue stem 54 to 56c.
The latter figures, it adds, are for No. 1
over 58 pounds.
The Republicans of Albany have done
a good thing for the party in subscribing
to a fund for bringing Bryan to that
town. What is the matter with The
Dalles Republicans raiaing'a fund to have
him speak here and say at Dufur.
There are two Pops out there. He
might make Republicans out of them.
In the circuit court today, in the case
of Mercedes Paddock vs. Fred E. Pud
dock, a decree of divoice was granted

sume her maiden name of Brigbam.
We know of one farmer up in Linn
county, says a Salem paper, who has
rented bis grain land en lis devoting
his time exclusively to the poultry busi
ness, with the aid ot incubators and
brooders. He expects to make more
money on his ten or fifteen acres which
he reserves, in the poultry business,
than he formerly made on his whole
farm, and with lessdurdgery and worry.
A few days ago the city treasurer sent
to New York the sum of $5,500, all the
money there was in the city treasury, in
part payment of $20,000 bonded debt ol
the city that felt due March 1st. The
city baa asked for an extension of time
on the deferred payment and wlil doubt
leas get it, as the bonds bear 6 per cent
interest and,-had the law allowed, the
debt could have been refunded reeently
at 4 per cent.
The Students' Literary Club met last
night and discussed the question: Re
solved that capital punishment ought to
be abolished. At the close it was re
solved to discontinue the meetings of
the club till next fall. It was also de
termined, as an appropriate close to the
winter's work, to give banquet to the
members and their friends, and next
Monday night in Keller's hall was fixed
upon as the time and place. After ap
pointing committees to make the neces
sary arrangements tor the banquet, the
meeting adjourned. The program of
entertainment in connection with the
banquet will be published later.
The Chronicle is Indebted to the
Portland "Bureau of Publicity and Pro
motion," whatever that may be, for an
urgent invitation to be present at the
reception that will be tendered Hon. W.
J. Bryan in Portland on the 4th of April
and "to occupy a seatnpon the platform
with the speakerlit the great exposi
tion auditorium." Tin Chronicle, is
compelled to decline the honor. A front
seat on a Bryan Platform, facing the
"magnificent conclave" that the "Bu
reau of Publicity and Promotion" so
hopefully expects would turn the poor
thing's head. The cool, sequestered
shade ol sound and true Republican
methods and doctrines Is more becom
ing to our style of beauty.
The Chronicle said yesterday, speak
ing of A. S. Blowers, Republican candi
date for county judge, that tf he were
beaten in the race it must be by Re
publican votes. Let no one read any
thing between the lines. The Chron
icle is not dreaming of any candidate
being beaten by Republican votes, let
alone Mr. Wowers, who ia one of the
strongest men on an unusually strong
ticket. On the contrary, Mr. Blowers
will get the full strength of his party
and that is all he needs. But mark this
prediction: It the opinion of Mr.
Blowers' friends in Hood River is worth
anything, that gentleman will come np
from there next June with the largest
Hood River vote ever given to any
candidate for a county office.
Dr. Biggs, Dr. McGiffert aud all their
school of Biblical critics profess even
greater veneration for Christianity than
they had before they assailed its author
itative and dogmatic foundation, says
the New YoikSun; but noue the less
they have set out to destroy all the evi
dence on which its supernatural claims
are based. Men will not believe that a
book is the special word of God when
they are taught to distrust it as full of
human error and limited by the capaci
ty of the human mind to discover truth ;
when they are told by scholars, in whose
authority they repose confidence, that
the documents of which it is composed
are of a doubtful authenticity or author
ship. Of course not. The greatest
battle in history of the supernatural re
ligion is before ns. unless the churches
are prepared to surrender to the enemy
in advance of hostilities.
The office of justice of the peace in
The Dalles was for manv years quite a
nice little snap for those who held it.
The income may have been overesti
mated, but it is reasonably certain that
tor years it yielded to its possessor all
the way from $1200 to $2000 year.
From various canses it has fallen till at
present no man can afford to fill the of
fice and pay office rent nnless he has
some other source of income. This will
probably be donbted by many and be
a surprise to more, but here are the
figures as compiled from Mr. Bayard's
books by the present justice, Mr. Timo
thy BrownLiil. Since July 1, 1898,
when Mr. Bayard took office, till date,
36 civil and 69 criminal cases were ad
judicated. The average fees, according
to the justice out of these cases, Mr.
Brownhill estimates at $4.25 each, or a
total for twenty months of $446.25, or an
average of $22.30 a month. Deduct from
this $10 a month for re and you see
what a plutocratic income a Dalles
justice of the peace has.
From Jack Tunney, of Antelope, who
arrived in town yesterday, we learn that
rapid progress is being made on build
ings and other works in the new town ot
Shanlko. About 100 men are employed
on the various works. The offices of
the townsite company and that of the

ing a protection wall on the island at the
mouth of the Cascade locks.

destiny was Troutdale, where the Union
Meat Co. pays 6,la' cents for them, de
livered. W. II. Davis, of Wapanitia, brought
into town today 43 head of beeves and
53 head of block hogs which he sold to
Clyde T. Bonney, of Hood River, for 4,8
cents, round.
E. Jacobsen writes to a friend that he
is still in bed at St. incenl's hospital,
but hopes to be able to be around in a
few days. Mr. Jacobsen has been in
the hospital now for six weeks.
The Dalles warehouses have about
160,0(10 bushels of wheat carried over

This is considerably more than was in
store here at this time a year ago.
The Glacier says Jas. Parker, of Hood
River, will go to Nome along with Dr.
Siddall ot this city. The doctor basse-,

youngster is a whopper, too, weighing
eieven pounua avoirdupois without a
stitch of clothes on. Here's to you,
Sam. Long life to the kid anj more
power to your e'.bow.
A telegram from Pendleton says that
a solid delegation tor M. A. Moody was
elected at the Republican county con
vention of Umatilla county yesterday.
According to present appearances noth
ing short of a revolution can prevent
Mr. Moody's re-nomination.
The Glacier man says the late Repub
lican convention was a "full" conven
tion, and the Glacier man knows, for he
was here and he took it all in. But,
with charming consideration, he ex
plains that it was not "full of anything
more than enthusiasm."
Sheriff Holder, of Sherman county,
and his deputy, L. Barnum, passed
through town today with Berch McGon
igle, who was sentenced at Moro last
Monday by Judge Lowell to a year in
the penitentiary, for forging a check on
Scott & Co., of Grass Valley.
While in Portland Colonel Bryan said
to an Oregonian reporter: "lam very
much pleased to see the Oregonian op
pose the Puerto Rican tariff bill." It is
hoped the Oregonian will not get too
much Btuck np after receiving from such
a source, such exalted praise as that.
J. II. Eubanks, of Wapinitia, brought
into town this morning two thirteen
month's old calves that tipped the scales
at 1770 pounds. They were purchased
by Clyde T. Bonney, of Hood River, at
4 '4 cents, bringing Mr. Eubauks $75.22
or $37.61 each. How ia that for Wasco
county calves?
Speaking of the Republican county
ticket nominated here last Friday, the
Hood River Glacier says: "The ticket
taken as a whole, is made up of repre
eentative citizens, and the Glacier tRkee
no risk of being considered a false profit
by predicting the election of the entire
ticket by the usual majority."
The Glacier says: "One day last
week five men sat down to dinner at the
Mt. Hgod hotel, Hood River, whose
united weight was 1,385 pounds. Their
names and weight are as follows : Hale,
of Hale & Smith, railroad contractors,
220 pounds; Hayes, tie inspector, 310;
L. D.Blount, 275; S. W. Arnold, 280;

Hope springs eternal in the human
breast, even if that human Is a Demo
crat. The Democrats . will hold their
primaries here tomorrow and they are
already meeting in little groups and
planning little schemes and setting up
little pins and holding little conferences
just the same as the Republicans do
and as if they actually thought they
were going to elect somebody.
The annual report of Wasco county
school superintendent for the year end
ing March 5, 1900, shows the number of
persons between four and twenty years
of age residing in the county to be 4406,

the several school district clerks Mon
day, April 2nd.
The postal department has made a
wise provision in its order that all
money orders may be presented and
cashed at offices Irrespective of the des
tinatlon named. Postmaster H. II
Riddell has just been advised to this
effect. Heretofore it has been necessary
for the recipient of an order to cash it
at the office named as destination. Now
all that is necessary to be done is for
the recipient to establish his Identity
The new steamer Reliance, that is
being built at Stipple's yard for The
Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navigation
Company, is ready for launching, says
the Telegram. She will be slid into the
water early next week. As long as the

are all connected np and the piping has
been about completed.

Two men traveling np the Columbia
la 1 wow met with quite an adventure
last week, says the Giaeier. When near
Cameron's booru at the mouth of White
Salmon, the wind calmed, and the men
put an anchor into email boat and
towed the scow towards the shore. In
attempting to cast the anchor the chain
got wound round the leg of one the men,
and when the anchor was thrown over
board it took the man along to the bot
tom of the river. Some men in the skitf
near by immediately came to their as
sistance. The anchor was drawn up aud
the man came up with it. He was
turned over a barrel on 1 worked with
till he came to.
Up in the Cathlamet couutry, says
the Astorian, the old settlers dote on
State Senator J. G. Megler. In fact, he
is the Andrew Jackson of the district, as
far as the sympathies and respect of the
old-timers go. A good story is told on
"Uncle Joe," illustrative of his stand
ing among the people in that particular
neck of the woods. An old logger came
into Catblamet the other day and ap
plied for citizenship papers. The judge
proceeded along the customary lines of
inquiry to establish the eligibility of tbe
applicant, asking, among other things,
who was tlio chief executive of the na
tion. The logger scratched an ankle
with the sole of his hob-nailed boot for
an instant and replied: "I dank be
bane Joe Megler."
The Telegram asks the question
"Who will be president of the Stat
Board of Horticulture?" and proceeds to
answer it by stating that Hon. E. L
Smith, of Hood River, according to cur
rent report, has been decided upon fo
the place. This will be good news for
Eastern Oregon horticulturists. T11
Chronicle has the honor of first eug
gestiug Mr. Smith's name. As the Tel
egram says: "Those who know Mr,
Smith beBt say be is just the man for
the place. He is wide-awake and of the
up-to-date modern school. For two
years be was president of the State Hor
ticultural Society, and while in this
position made an enviable record for
himself." This is one of the rare cases
where the office has sought the man
The Chronicle hopes Mr. Smith will
see his way to accept.
This morning James E. Fait, of this
city, received from Charles La Salle
United States secret service agent
Seattle, a voucher drawn on tbe United
States treasury for 2o as a reward for
giving the information that led to the
arrest and conviction of Helding John
son for counterfeiting. Mr. Fait is night
barkeeper in Stubling's saloon. John
son came into the saloon and commenced
bucking a nickle-in-the-slot machine,
One of the nickles stuck, and Mr. Fait
suspecting there was something wrong
telephoned Sheriff Kelly who promptly
put Johnson under arrest, and upon
searching him found a sock about three'
fourths lull of bogus nickles, amounting
to over $30. Johnson was subsequently
convicted of counterfeiting and sentenced
to a year in the penitentiary. The $2o
received by Mr. Fait is the standing
reward in such cases.
It is well known that a remonstrance,
signed by numerous influential citizens
has been presented to the council con
demnatory of tbe proposed sewer system
on the ground of its cost and for other
reasons. The council had the remon,
strance sent to W. J. Roberts, of Spo
kane, who drafted the system and made
the estimate of cost. Mr. Roberts has
replied quite fully. The press tf matter
today prevents the publication of these
two documents but, as every property
owner in the city, and especially those
below.the blulf, are Interested in this
matter, The Chronicle will print both
tomorrow. The Chronicle does not at
present feel competent to discuss this
sewerage question intelligently. It will
print these documents in order that the
citizens may have an opportunity of
knowing the best that can be said on
both sides, and as the matter ought to
he discussed The Chronicle will throw
open its columns to anyone who has
anything to say on either side.

OUR ASTORIA GUESTS-
Attorlaaa llrllghlod With Tbalr VlaU .
Surprised Hayonit Maaaara al tha

Ytiiiday Pally.
Whatever reflections The Dalles people,
may cast upon themselves for any reel
or lancied shortcomings in the matter of
the reception accorded the visiting
Astorians, it is beyond question that
the Astorians themselves were pleased
and delighted.
The banquet last night at the UuiatilU
House may have been lacking in formal
ities, for the time for preparation was
short, but what it lacked in these re
spects was amply compensated for ia
the evident enjoyment ol the guests.
Fred Wilson did himself proud as toast
master and nearly everybody had some
thing to say contributory to the enjoy
ment of the guests or apropos to thai
occasion.
This morning a committee ot twelve
Astorian, accompanied by Ex-Governor
Moody and N. Whealdon, crossed the
river and drove up to inspect the work
in progress on the portage road. On
their return the Astorians expressed
themselves to The Chronicle as "de
lighted and surprised beyond measure"
at the amount and substantial character
ot work that has been done or is in
progress.
At 1 p. 111. the visitors boarded the
Lurline for the home trip. Mr. Fisher,
of Fisher Bros., had purchased two tons
of w heat at the Wasco warehouse for
chicken feed, as not a pound of that
cereal is raised in Clatsop county. In
honor of the event Mr. Fisher had the
front deck of the boat adorned with a
big sign on which was the legend, "The
First Shipment of Wheat from The
Dalles to Astoria." Just as the Lurlina
moved away from her mooring the crowd
on board gave three hearty cheers for
Astoria, which was followed by three
cheers and a tiger for The Dalles.- The
boat's whistle blew long and loud and
this was responded to by two locomo
tives in the car shops; and thus amid
cheers and waving of hats and handker
chiefs from those aboard and a big
crowd on shore, the Lurline sped on
her way to Astoria.
It is pleasant to note that no single
incident marred the pleasure of tbe
occasion. The weather put on its best
bib and tucker and the visitors took full
advantage ot it to view a city that has
many interests that are mutual to those
of their own. Much that they saw
seemed a revelation to them. They were
not prepared to see stores that would do
honor to a city of 100,000 inhabit
ants. One gentleman who inspected the
big piles of wheat at the Wasco Ware
house, said be never saw as much wheat
at one time in his life. Good results are
sure to follow this visit of the Astorians.
But even if no material results should
follow, Tbe Dalles people are delighted
to have made the acquaintance of the
Astorians, and The Chronicle is assured
that the feeling is mutual on the part of
the Astorians.
The Folka on tha Bluff.
A delightful little muBical, attended
by some thirty or forty persons of both
sexes, was given Monday night at the
home of Mr. A. C. Geiger. Tbe event
was initiated by Mrs. Groat and Miss
Georgia Sampson in honor of the pres
ence here of Mr. A. A. Gilhousen,
former Dalles bov, who has gained a
well-deserved reputation as a vocalist,
and whose singing of a generous number
of selections was highly appreciated.
Miss Sampson presided at the piano and
Mrs. S. B. Huntington, Miss Myrtle
Mlchell and Miss Dawson contributed to
tbe pleasure of the evening a number of
vocal and instrumental selections. Mrs.
Eddon recited a comic poem and in re
sponse to a hearty encore gave another,
describing the blundering but success
ful efforts of a bashful lover in popping
the momentous question that resulted
in two souls with but a single thonght
and two pairs of lips that acted with one
impulse.
A son of the Emerald Isle told in
Irish numbers the way they do their
sparking in the land of the shamrock,
