Sheriff Kelly today turned over to the
county treasurer $4,236 16, the amount
of taxes collected during the month of
March.
The Dal lei echoolmatna were tnade
happy yesterday by the payment of
their monthly salaries amounting to
about $1200.
The little son-of Rev. U. F. Hawk,
who underwent a severe operation some
weeks ago at St. Vincent's hospital, has
returned borne and is Improving quite
rapidly. His parents look for his full
restoration to health.
The Iralda will not bs up tonight.
Her owner has concluded he would
rather run her against the Regulator
than against the Reliance. But It
would not surprise anybody if he would
have to run her against the Reliance or
stop
Potatoes are rapidly dug, cleaned and
eacked by a new apparatus, which has a
plow to unearth the tubers, the dirt and
potatoes falling into an endless-chain
elevator, which delivers tlietn into a
hopper with s'at sides, which removes
the dirt and drops the potatoes into a
bag.
Coroner Batts went down to Hood
River this morning in response to a tel
egram to the effect that a dead man had
been found in the country seven miles
back of Hood River. Tbe only particu
lars given of the case were that the de
ceased was a German ; that he bad been
blasting stumps, and that be had lost
his life in an explosion.
The Reliance made the down trip yes
terday on a quarter cut-off in the run
ning time of Ave hours and thirty-six
minutes. This amount of steam was
used as a test and was very satisfactory,
On a three-eights cut-off, which is near
ly up to the capacity of the boiler, the

On a half cut-off, if sufficient steam
couid be raised, it is believed she would
beat any boat on the river. Her run
ning time yesterday was nearly twenty
one miles an hour.
A special meeting of the water com
missioners will be held tonight to con
sider the offer of a party from Sunny
side, Wash., who agree to sink an
artesian well above the reservoir and
guarantee a flow of water into the reser
voir for $3,600. The only condition is
that in' case of failure to obtain a flowing
well of a certain size tbe city shall pay
the contractors the sum of $200, as a
compensation for the expense of moving
their machinery. Unless there is some
thing back of this offer that we have
not heard of we shall be surprised if the
commissioners don't snap at it as a
chicken would a blackberry.
From twenty to thirty people from
The Dalles attended the May Day pic
nic at Dufur yesterday, among them be
ing a liberr.l sprinkling of candidates,
who took advantage of the opportunity
ottered by tbe picnic to renew acquaint
ance with their constituent". The pic
nic was held in a grove above the town,
and was attended by hundreds of peo
ple. The proceedings opened with a
fine program by the pupils of the Dufur
schools. In the afternoon a variety of
games and sports were indulged in, and
the day closed with a public dance.
The weather clerk wore his best bib and
tucker, and the Dalles visitors report
that they enjoyed themselves hugely. '
A telegram reached here this after
noon announcing the death at Tacoma
last night of Mrs. W. F. Askew, eldest
daughter of Coroner Butts of this city.
She had been seriouslyj ill tir months
and tier two sisters had arrived at
Tacoma about the hour of her departure.
The body will arrive here for Interment
tomorrow noon. As Mr. Rutts went on
official business to Hood River this
morning the time of interment has prob
ably not been fixed, but it will probably
take place Friday. Mrs. Askew was
well and favorably known Lore, where
she lived for years before her marriage.
Hie vrns about 30 years of age. Tbe
husband and family of Mr. Butts have
the heartfelt sympathy of this com
munity. In response to the question, Is it
true that if the earth should ceaee
to rotate, the Mississippi river would
flow toward the northT the Scien
tific American answers: Certainly, it
is true. The earth Is not a sphere with
nil parts of its surface cnuallv distant
fro
i its center: but ttie diameter
through the equator is about twenty-six
miles greater than that through the
poles. If one should travel from the
pole to the equator, he would climb a
hill thirteen miles high, though be
would not be conscious of it. A river
flowing south is at its month further
from the center of the eat th than It Is
t its own source. Or, put in common
languae, it runs up hill. The cause of
this is foun 1 in the so-called "centrifu
gal force" of a rotating body, which
I each part to place itself as far from the
center of; rotation as possible, which
aUo give an outward (tangential) force
to raoh part. In the ease ot the earth
at i'a prrseut velocity of raUtivn this
forco lightens all bodies at the equator
by 1.2S9 of their weight. This force it
is which deforms the water level line
from north to south, so that the south
ern end of a water level line is higher
than the northern end.
As an illustration of the waste of water
that occurs through the faucets in lava
torys and clos.'ts being left wide open,
as they not infrequently, through sheer
carelessness, are, the following is perti
nent: A meter was secretly placed on
the pipe leading to a closet back of a
saloon. In twenty-four hours the meter
bad registered a flow of 750 gallons of
water, wu oi wuicn, ana more, was
sheer waste. Another ws secretly
placed in connection with the clcset of
an office that employs two hands. In
twenty-four hours it had registered a
flow of over a thousand gallons, 950 of
which was waste. In view of the prob
able scarcity of water this summer, is it
any wonder that the superintendent of
the water works is urgently asking con
sumers to stop this waste?
As announced yesterday the Albany
lauded her cargo of rails on the bank of
the river about opposite the Wasco
warehouse. There is little douht she
could have climbed Three-Mile rapids
had she been permitted to do so, but
not with the amount of steam she is
authorized to carry, namely 125 pounds.
Knowing this a government inspector,
who was on board, refused to let the
boat make the effort. But the fact has
been established, all the same, that the
rapids are navigable at certain stages of
water by boats like the Albany, that
have the requisite steam power. Prob
ably no boat could have made the ascent
at the time the Regulator failed. Cer
tainly the failure was from no lack of
"sand in tbe craw" of the captain of the
Regulator, to borrow the elegant phrase
of a writer in the Times-Mountaineer,
but wholly on account of the stage of
water at that particular time.
W. Van Pelt, a Celilo half breed was
examined today before Justice Brownbill
on the charge of borBe stealing. Tbe
testimony showed that Van Pelt had
sold the horse in controversy to one E.
Curtis, a Vancouver man, for $13.50.
When Van Pelt got the money he pro
ceeded, as is his wont, to fill himself np
with whiskey. In his drunkenness he
was heard to swear that he would have
bis borse back, would steal him, in fact;
claim'.ng that Curtis bad got the better
of him in the bargain. The following
night the horse, which had been stabled
by Curtis at the East End feed yard,
was stolen out of the stable. The borse
was last seen in tbe possession of an
other Indian crossing Millet's bridge
Sunday morning, the morning after he
was stolen. Tbe bridle that Van Pelt
had used on the animal when he brought
him to The Dalles before the sale was
found at Van Pelt's lodgings in Celilo,
but the saddle has not been found. It
is probably around there somewhere,
too. There court thought there was suf
ficient evidence to prove that Van Pelt
was, at least, a party to the theft, if
not the principal, and bound him over
to tbe giand jury in the sum of $250.
Joe Purser and George Rich, of Hood
River, arrived in town last night, after
making a trip to the Warm Spring res
ervation to procure Indians for straw
berry picking, which commences in the
Hood River valley on the 17th. Tbey
got the promise of all the Indian to be
had on the reservation about two hun
dred and fifty. Mr. Purser thinks that
nearly 2000 pickers will be required for
this year's crop, which is now assured
and which will be by far the largeBt ever
raised in the valley. The Warm Spring
Indians are esteemed the best all-round
pickers that are to be found. They
have their own peculiar sport and
dances, but they never get drunk, never
quarrel among themselves, never make
any disturbance, are strictly konest and
faithful and are alway ready for work
at the early call of morning. Mr. Pur
ser, has thirteen acres of strawberries
and will require sixty pickers for him
self. The Davidscn Fruit Company
have thirty acres and will require 100
pickers. Ten pickers from the Warm
Springs will commence work at Joe
Moreton's place on the Columbia river
in two or three days. The berries on
the river ripen ten days earlier than on
the higher lands of the valley.
County court will meet next Monday.
County business will commence Wednes
day. The Democratic ticket of this county
has been completed by the acceptance
of J. F. Moore, of this city, of the nomi
nation for district attorney.
The friends of C. E. Bayard will be
pleased to hear that he is receiving
great benefit from his trip to California,
and that at last accounts his health was
much improved.
Two simple drunks were arrested last
night and discharged this morning after
they had been compelled to listen to a
protracted temperance lecture from bis
honor the recorder.
The recorder issued a license today
to one B. Good, to give an exhibition of
live snakes in this city. This is no
newspaper joke, but a solemn, sober
fact. B. Good's snakes are not of the
genus that are generated from the juice
of John Barleycorn.
Hark, from the tomb a doleful sound,

The remains of the late Mrs. Nettie
Askew arrived here on the noon passen
ger. The funeral will take place tomor
row at 3 o'clock p. in. from the residence
of her father, Coroner Butts, on Eleventh
street.
William K. Cor sen, well known in
The Dalles as a member oi the late firm
of CbrWman A Corsen, was married
April 25th, ult., at Lne Rck, Oregon,
to Miss Delia Reed; Rev. II. C. Clark
officiating.
The house today, at the conclusion of
a stormy debate, passed the Nicaragua
canal bill by the overwhelmingly vote of
225 to 35. This is the best piece of
news the Pacific coast has heard for
many a day.
Mrs. Emily K. Cor9en, widow of the
late H. Coreen, a former well-known
resident of The Dalles, died at Lone
Rock, Oregon, April 29;h last, aged 70
years.
The Albany is lying here awaiting
orders. It is probable she will be used
to bring ties for the portage road from
various points on the river to a landing
below Three-Mile rapids.
"Cyclone" Davis arrived here on the
noon passenger from Portland and left,
after a hasty meal, for Dufur, where he
was billed to speak at 3 p. m. He was
accompanied by Harry Liebe and John
Gavin. The "Cyclone" will vex the air
at the Baldwin tonight.
The Austrian count, with the jaw
breaking patronymic, who is known
here as plain Julius Fisher, has bought
out the barber shop of II. D. Parkins,
and, renouncing the trappings of nobil
ity, will henceforth try to earn an hon
est living as a tonsorial artist. Next I
E. Jacobsen, who lias been in busi
ness here for about eighteen years, sold
bis controlling interest in the Jacobsen
Book & Music Company this week to
William Menefee and II. D. Parkins,
and left for Portland today, where he
will resume work for the II. K. Gill
Company, that has been suspended for
about three months on account of sick
ness. Messrs Menafee and Parkins now
own the entire stock of tbe company,
but tbe business will be continued for
tbe present at least under the corpora
tion name.
Peter, the 10-year-old eon of Mrs. M.
Zirka, of this city, came within an inch
of losing his life yesterday afternoon by
drowning in the river at the mouth of
Mill creek. The lad, with some others,
was fishing off a raft. His cap fell into
the water, and in trying to recover it
he fell overboard. As the boy was about
to sink for tbe third time he was res
cued Dy a Mr. Fisher who lives in the
scow dwelling west of Mrs. Brittain'e.
When he was taken out of the water be
was unconscious, but was soon brought
back to life.' It was a mighty close call
for the boy.
Frank Chrisman has sold out his in
terest in the firm of Chrisman Bros.
The action was taken with great reluc
tance by all the parties concerned, for
the firm is doing a splendid baeiness
and Frank was an ideal man at the
block; but the condition of the health
of Mrs. Chrisman, who is now in a Port
land hospital, made change of resi
dence on her part imperative. Frank
has no settled plans for the future, save
that he and Mrs. Chrisman will speud
tbe coming summer wherever it is found
most beneficial to Mrs. Chrisman s
health.
Tho board of water commissioners
met last night to consider the offer of
Turner A Sprat of Sunnyside, Wash., to
furnish a flow of artesian water into the
reservoir for $3,500, conditioned on $200
being paid against expense of moving
machinery in case of failure. Commis
sioner Fish suggested that it would be
better to pay $2 a foot for 200 or 300 feet
than to pay $3,500 for what, if found at
all, will surely be found at less cost.
The suggestion was adopted so far that
a committee of three was appointed to
confer with Mr. Kretzer, who bored the
well for thn scouring mill, for the Elec
tric Light Company and tho brewery!
It was stated that some one recently
bored for water near Dr. Wingate's prop
erty on the bluff and struck a flow at a
depth of 80 feet that rose to within 20
feet of the top. The meeting adjourned
till tomorrow uight.

sleeping back of the Keystone saloon.
Ou the promise from each of theiu that
he would not repeat the offrnw they
were discharged.
The amount of mail arriving on the
two trains that meet at 12:30 p. iu.
makes it necessary for the postoffice to
be closed iu the future from 12 Mo to 2
o'clock p. m. Patrons of the office will
take notice and govern themselves ac
cordingly. The Chboxiclk is indebted to the
conrtf sy of Georgit B. Halvor for a big
box cf delicious ripe strawberries, the
first full box of native strawberries we
have seen this season. Mr. Ilalvor had
a few ripe berries as early as the 20th of
April. He will commence shipping next
Moudav.
Forty-five Odd Fellows from here and
Dufur and other points took passage ou
the Kegulator last night on a visit to
their bretheru at Hood River. They got
back here this morning at 4 o'clock.
They report having had a most enjoya
b!e time. The Hood River people gave
them and a delegation from the Locks a
royal welcome. The Hood River brass
band treated them to a serenade, and a
delicious banquet closed the proceed
nigs at 1 o clock iu the morning. They
had two initiations, and Louie Comini's
goat bore his riders with all the grace
and majesty of a veteran.
John Lynch, J. Carney, Wm. Keefe,
J. B. Casey, JohnKnowles, Pete Riley
William Jones, colored, were arrested
last night and brought before the re
corder this morning, charged with sleep
ing on the wool sacks of the Wasco
warehouse. This practice has become
such a nuisance to the company that
the recorder, in order to see if it could
not be Btopped, fined each of the prison
ers and all but Knowles wbo paid his
fine, were committed to the city baatile
for one day.
A clergyman walking on the outskirts
of bis parish one day found one of his
parishoners whitewashing his cottage
Pleased at this novel manifestation of
tbe virtue that is next to godliness, be
complimented the man on his desire for
neatness. With a mysterious air tbe
worker descended from the ladder and
approaching the fence said: "That's
not exactly the reason why I'm doin' of
this ere job your Worship. The last
two couples as lived here had twins, so
I ses to my missus, I'll take and white
wash the place so's there mayn't be no
infection. You see, sir, as tow we've
got ten of 'em already."
Secretary Fred W. Wilson, of the Ore-
gon Wool Ci rowers Association, re
ceived a letter today from the superin
tendent of the Cascade Forest Reserve
saying it would be impossible for him to
attend the meeting called for June 2nd.
As tho opportunity of meeting Capt.
Ormsby and having him decide the va
rious applications for summer ranges
was the main purpose for which tho
meeting was'called, the date has been
changed to May 26tb, at which time the
superintendent has telegraphed he will
be present. It is expected a large num
ber of sheepmen will attend, as tbe
business before the meeting will be of
much importance.
It appears from the Oregonian that
the government inspectors have ordered
safety valve placed on the steamer
Albany and will not permit her to be
moved until she is provided with this
precaution against the' steam running
up on the engineers. As soon as their
orders are complied with the steamer
will resume her trips to the big eddy.
If she is unable to get over the rapids
with the amount of steam allowed by
law, arrangements will be made for
lining her up with wire cables. The
inspectors have determined to put a
damper on any attempt to carry more
steam than is allowed by law, and
whenever a boat goes into swift water
and makes a better showing than Is
warranted by the power aboard, she will
be speedily looked after by special agents
of the government.
Notice.
Owing to the retirement of Frank
Chrisman from the firm of Chrisman
Bros., and his intention to leave tbe
state as soon as possible, all debts due
the firm must be paid immediately. All
having claims against the firm will
please present them at the market for
pavment.

xycione uavie opened the cam
paign at the Baldwin opera house last
night. About two hundred persons
were present, many of whom left before
the performance was over, although it
only lasted a little over an hour. Wasco
county Democracy were represented on
the platform bv John Douthit, John
Gavin and J. II. Jackson. They had
the heartfelt sympathy of most of the
little audience. For the speech of Davis
was a disappointment. It was more
than a disappointment. It was an in
sult to tbe intelligence of a Dalles audi
ence. Davis' conglomeration of slang.
bad grammar, cheek, falsehood, gall,
tergiversation, mendacity, misrepresen
tation, vulgarity and calamity was cer
tainly never surpassed here nor else
where. Tbe money question was placed
in tbe forefront: and the old, lying gag
anent Erneet Seyed's connection with
the "crime of '73 that has been so pul
verized to atoms that its own mother
wouldn't own it, was told with an aban
don of gall and mendacity that left no
other conclusion but that in a Dalles
audience the Cyclone supposed he had
struck a lot of backwoods suckers.
The trusts and the policy of expansion
came in for their share of "cyclonic in
vective, but when the speaker, at the
close, came to repeat the old Populist
wail of calamity and woe that we used
to hear In '90 and earlier campaigns, it
was then he showed himself peculiarly
at home. If the speech of laft night
made one convert, then the Lord have
mercy on the party that has secured his
vote. An intelligent business man who
need to vote the Democratic ticket, said
to the writer at the close of the meeting,
"I'll give one hundred dollars to keep
that man lecturing here, in the interest
of the Republican party and policy, till
the close of the campaign."
A Visit to Japan.
Not everyone possesses the gift of im
agination to the degree with which
George William Curtis was endowed, so
that he may simply stand with his hand
on the great hulk of an ocean steamer,
and so visit all parts of the world; or
gaze through the open door of a huge
warehouse, which has just swallowed a
cargo of foreign merchandise, nntil one's
whole person is saturated with the spicy
odors of, some far eastern clime, as de
scribed in "Pene and I." But next
Monday evening at the Congregational
church all may have the opportunity of
teeing Japan, in company with one who
has spent eleven years in that "land
over which the sun first rices; the land j
: which the natives dignify by the nam
i of "Xil'P." 1'terally "sun's origin."

sented to coma to The Dalles and give
the peoplrt here an opportunity to learn
something directly of her work there.
The Congregational women wish to give)
her a reception which ill show, to soma
extent, their appreciation of her services
as a missionary. Therefore, they un
selfishly invite all the frieuds of mis
sions, uf all the churches, to share with
them, admission free, a delightful even

The Same Old Remark.
One of the greatest sorrows of fa
mous personages is that it is Impossi
ble to live up to the ideal opinion
which the people whom they meet in
the ordinary alTaira of life have
formed of them.
It ia recorded that a certain liter
ary man of hijjh reputation had occa
sion to remark to a waiter hi tho res
taurant where he sometimes lunches:
"Waiter, this beefsteak is very
toiiirh."
The waiter looked at him with a sor
rowful expression nnd sighed deeply.
"I'erknps you will tell me," said tho
literary man, "why you siph in that
fashion?"
"Ah, Fir." saiil tin waiter, "I took
you for a man who always said orig
inal things, nnd here you come nnd
say the same thinp; that all the rest
of them do." Tit-liits.
Automobiles at Paris.
The French have been anions the
niUit enthusiastic friend of the nuto
nioVile idea, nnd during the coming
exhibition in Paris they intend to
make tlwtt style of locomotion an con
spicuous and attractive ps possible. A
special automobile exhibition is to bo
held in the park of Yincennes, under
the direction of the Automobile club
of France. Competitive tests ami
