of the beet traditions of our local talent.
The last reports from Lloyd Laughlin,
ton of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Laughlin,
who was operated on for appendicitis
last Sunday, is that he is getting along
nicely and it was hoped would pass the
critical period, which Is today or tomor
row. The river gauge this morning showed
twenty-siv feet above low water mark.
A rise of about nine feet more at thU
point would raise the water at the locks
high enough to stop the passage of boats.
Such a rise may take place but is not
anticipated.
The Tumwater Indians have learned
something from brushing up against
civilization. Their chief yesterday bad
twenty-eight of bis little band vaccin
ated by Dr. Cook, wbo lives near by.
Ha promised to bring in the remaining
thirty or so in a few days. The Indians
want to go strawberry picking in a short
time and dread catching the smallpox
from the whites, with whom they may
come in contact.
J. II. Hadley, of Kansas Prairie,
Klickitat county, and a former resident
of Boyd neighborhood in this county,
(pent yesterday in the city, the guest of
the Obarr House, and left for home this

The Chronicle water when he told of
Earn Cole, an old fishing chum of The
Chuonicle man, having recently caught
in a stream in the neighborhood of
Glen wood ten speckled beauties that
weighed IG0 pounds, or 10 ponnds each.
The stream In question, Bird Creek, had
not a trout in it eight or tea years ago.
At that time somebody stocked it and
now it affords the beBt fishing in that
whole country. Till recently nobody
knew there was a fish in it.

From the Walla Walla Union we
learn that William Johnson and C. M.
Driver, the young couple who eloped
from Wamic last Sunday night, were
married Tuesday in Walla Walla.
Voters have been registering quite freely
for the paet few days and there is no
doubt that when tne returns from the
country districts are all in, the number
of registered voters will exceed the num
ber of votes cast at the last election, by
several hundred.
Mr. Horace Rice and Mrs. Ruth Cul
ver, brother and sister of the late Mrs.
Mary E. Walker, desire to express their
beatrfelt gratitude to the people of The
Dalles for the many acts of kindness
shown In connection with the death of
their beloved sister.
The daily river bulletin of yesterday
says: "I he Columbia river will con
tinue to rise for several days, but at a
slightly less rate. The Snake river is
about at a stand and will remain sta
tionary or fall slightly during the re
mainder of the week."
Mrs. George Rice and C. II. South
ern, of Boyd, son and daughter of the
late Mrs. Elizabeth Southern, desire
through Tiik Chronicle to thank their
numerous friends and neighbors at The
Dalles and Boyd for the many acts of
kindness shown in connection with the
death and burial of their beloved
mother.
As the time approaches for settling
the question of how many bishops are
to he elected by the Methodist general
conference now in session in Chicago,
the sentiment is growing among the
delegates that none of the present oc
cupant of the high office should be re
tired and placed on the superannuated
list.
Between fifty and sixty thousand
pounds of merchandise were shipped
from the Wasco warehouse during the
present week to points in Grant and
Crook counties, and other points south.
This almost clears the warehouse of
freight for points south and east of
Shaniko, and that town will probably
handle the bulk of the interior freight
from this time on.
Arrangements have been completed
for a 'game of baseball at the old fair
grounds on Wednesday, 30! h instant,
Decoration day. The contest will be
between the Dalles and Hood River
clubs. The Dalles boys are Messrs.
Evans, Huott, Hagan, Cooper, Howell,
Brown, Ferguson, Barrett, Spanlding,
Kelly and Ballard. The Hood River
nine are Messrs. Martin, Roneyn, Frey
son, Blowers, Seward, Cox, Mathews,
Meudorn and Hansbury. The boys say
"This will be one of the greatest con
tests that was ever held in Eastern Ore
gon." Next Monday night the Y. M. C. A.
will hold a meeting at the council cham
bers for the purpose of completing the
organization ot the several schemes con
templated by the association. All who
have signed the membership roll should
be present and prepared to pay their in
itiation fees, so tbat the funds neces
sary for starting the work may be
available. All persons interested in
any branch of the work contemplated
by the association are invited to be
present.
The statement going the rounds of the
papers that C. II. Walker is not the eld
est native son in Oregon, that honor be
ing accorded to Joseph La Bonte, of St.
Paul, Marion county, is misleading,
says the Albany Democrat. Mr. Walk
er invariably claims to be the oldest
white native son, knowing that there
were men on the Indian reservations
much older than he. We are informed
Mr. La Bonte is at least ft half-blood,
his father being a French Canadian, his
mother an aboriginal native daughter.
The Mormon preachers that have been
working The Dalles for sometime are
reported to have said that they had a
revelation ordering them to come here,
that they would meet with persecution,
and all that sort of thing, but they were
to hang on and stay, notwithstanding,
presumably till the town should be con
verted to Mormonism.. It would not
surprise the writer of these lines one bit
if, in the event of these brethern con
tinuing to quote Isaiah 4 ;1 to The Dalles
sisterhood when they call on them,
which generally happens when the men
folks are not at home, if (nine big footed
sun of a gun of a Dalles Gentile would
not have a revelation exhorting him to
elevate these beloved biethcrn into the
next township.

end of The Dalles Lumbering Company's
flume, has the honor of raising the first
cherries that were sold in this market.
Tbey were brought down this morning
and were retailed at ten cents a pound.
Elgin Parrott, of Goldendale, brought
over yesterday two oil paintings of
Crater Lake and one of Shewah Basin, a
magnificent piece of scenery in the
Olympics, near the British Columbia
boundary. The pictures are on exhibi
tion in Clarke & Falk's show windows.
Three hundred and eeventy Indian
ponies from the Yakima reservation were
ferried across the river this morning and
shipped this afternoon to the Liu ton
cannery. They were a scrubby lot, the
refuse, as we understand, of the reserva
tion and the Indians are well rid of them.
The price paid for them was $2,50 each,
landed at North Dalles.
They have a case of smallpox in
Goldendale. A stranger arrived in that
town two or three days ago, already
broken out but not knowing what ailed
him. Feeling unwell he immediately
consulted a doctor who pronounced his
sickness smallpox. The city authorities
had him removed to a pest house half a
mile north of the town.
Sheriff Bergen, of Klickitat county,
yesterday afternoon arrested a Klickitat
Indian on the other side of the river,
who is charged with assault on a white
man in the employ of Mr. Rorick, of
North Dalles. The Indian beat the
white man over the head with a quirt,
injuring him quite severely. The pris
oner was brought oyer here and lodged
in the county jail till this morning,
when he was taken to Goldendale.
The Chronicle acknowledges the
courtesy of a pleasant call from Colonel
F. J. Parker, editor of the Wal'.a Walla
Statesman. Ihe colonel is here on a
visit to his son, F. N. Parker, an em
ploye of the O. R. A N. Co. at the freight
depot in this city. The colonel has had
many pleasant relations with the pio
neer settlers of The Dalles. He wife is
the daughter of W. H. Newell, who
founded the Mountaineer in 1861.
John Ryan, of Five-Mile, has juat got
back from a second freight trip to Hay
Creek. He says shearing is about over
on the B. L. A L. Co.'a ranch, and that
the fleeces will average at least two
pounds each more than last year. Theie
are not enough shearers in Crook county
to supply the demand. Mr. Ryan says
the roads are in good condition and
speaks in special terms of praise of the
improvement lately made in Shetrar's
grade on the Deschutes hill. Mr. Ryan
will leave in a day or two with one four
horse and one six-horse team loaded
with merchandise from Pease A Mays
for Buck Creek, ninety miles above
Prineville.
In response to a telephone message
from the Seufert cannery this morning
Deputy sheriff E. B. iVood went up the
road and arrested a Chinaman who was
accused by the boss Chinaman at the
cannery of stealing $00 from him before
quitting work at Jthe cannery this
morning. Mr. Wood met the Chinaman
coming towards town, arrested him and
brought him here. His accuser was
notified to tome heie and swear out a
warrant, but before swearing out the
warrant he had a conference with the
prisoner in which he is supposed to have
fixed the matter up, for he refused to
prosecute and the prisoner was dis
charged. As the officials had no authority
to search the accused it is not known
whether he had taken the money or
not.
"U. P. Sam" came up yesterday from
Portland, where he had been visiting a
lick wife. Sam used to own good
farm out near Dnfur, but the sickness
of his wife, the death of bis son, who
was kilicd in a runaway, and other
troubles have broke him all up. He
has now formed a combination with
"Banjo Frank," whose specialty Is in
dicated by his first name. The two are
on the way to Shaniko, where they cal
culate to give the first show ever given
in that town. From thence they will
take in every place of Importance in
Eastern Oregon, giving special attention
to the wining towns of Baker and other
Indiana, Ohio,
other states ia
(counties. Sam's specialty, as every
body around here knows, is that of a
lightning song composer; Frank's Is
; comic singing and lightening banj ac
companiment playing. The two make
a strong team.
Articles of incorporation of 11
Dalles, Deschutes & Prineville Railway
were tiled with thu county clerk yester
day. The incorporators are A. S. Bennett,-
J. P. Mclnerny and M. T. Solan.
i The object is to build a railroad from
The Dalles to Klamath Falls. Thecal
ital stock is 150,00X1, in $100 shares. The
incorporation itself is aucient history.
The articles of incorporation were
drawn up last fall, but for some reason
were not filed till now. About $1000
were subscribed at that time, and eou.e
1250 collected to make a preliminary
survey and determine the practicability
of a road from The Dalles to Trout
Creek, in Crook county, by the way of
liie canyon of the Deschutes, from a
point in the neighborhood of the free
bridge Mr. Nolan a enures The Chron
icle that just as soon as a competent
surveyor can be obtained he will bo put
in the field.
A regular chapter of accidents hap
pened in Hood Rivtr and vicinity last
week, says the Glacier. Amoug those
reported were the fatal accident to Chas.
Groat who was killed while blasting
stumps; Wm. Thompson's runaway, iu
which, he lost an ear (but it was re
placed by the doctor) and was neatly
scalped; the accident on the Ilaynts
hill, in whicti Charley Wallace had an
arm and several ribs broken, and Wm
Ellis escaped with serious bruises in a
runaway; the accident to Charley Rath
bone, who was helping to unload a car
of lumber, when a skid board tipped up
and struck him in the face, breaking his
nose and cutting a gash above the eye;
and the runaway accident at Viento, in
which S. W. Curran suffered a broken
leg. In an epidemic of accidents like
that of last week doctors and under
takers may be happy, but timid people
feel like going home mid crawling under
the bed.
In spite of the fact that the night was
rather cool and blustering for a moon
light excursion, the trip down the river
last night was otherwise a complete suc
cess. The boat had her full complement
of passengers, while a number that had
purchased tickets had to be turned
away. The net financial result to the
band is about $50. The band discoursed
music with generous liberality, and the
selections and renderings were such as
to win the hearty appreciation of the
passengers. The Chronicle is pleased
to know that the band is now in good
and harmonious working order. The
services of the leader, Mr. Blondin, who
has proved himself to be an accomplished
musician, are highly appreciated. As
the band rarely gets anything for its
services, and is at constant and consid
erable expense for a host of things
necessary to its efficiency, The Dalles
people, if tbey want the pleasure of
listening to good music during the
coming summer, will not fail to do their
part in placing and keeping it in an
easy financial condition. For the next
four months a moonlight excursion once
a month would probably have all the
patrons the boat could carry.
Another Victim of the River.
J. Walther, while catching drift wood
in the river about a mile above town
this morning, found the body of a man
floating by and catching it on his hook
be dragged it to the shore and immedi
ately notified the coroner. The body
had been so long in the water that the
flesh had in places parted from the
bones. It had on one shoe, a pair of
drawers and fragments of a shirt that
might have been torn as it was in the
rapids of the river. The jury was not all
agreed whether it was the body of a
white man or an Indian, and the stench
was such that no close investigation
could be made. The jury, after hearing
the evidence of Mr. Walther, the only
witness, returned the following verdict:
We, the jury summoned by W. H.
Butts, coroner of Wasco county, Oregon,
to enquire into the can Be of the death of
the body now before us, find the follow
ing iaets: That the name of the de
ceased is to this jury unknown, and that
he came to his deatli about one month
ago; that he was found floating in the
Columbia river about one mile east of
The Dalles, Oregon, and to the best of
our knowledge was arjoui lony years
of age, and a white man ; that there was
on his person no papers or other evi
dence tending to show who he was or in
any way explain how, where or when
he came to lits death, tne nouy oeing
in such a decomposed state that we
could not find any further particulars,
but it ia our opinion that lie came to Ins
death hv drowning somewhere on the
npper Colnmbia river.
Dated at The Dalles, Oregon, this the
11th day of May, 1900.

A lMKra-rful Act.
The Chronicle had occasion a short
time ago to refer to the county-seat con
test in Wheeler county, by reason or ti e
attempt that was U-iug mdo to drag
into it, in a manner they utterly resent,
certain Dalles parties ho hiue, lar,;e
property interests in the new county.
If we refer to the matter again it is only
because there is an unwritten code of
morals for newspaper men in their rela
tions to one another tbat we think
should not be violated without a solemn
protest from every generous mind.
E. M. Shutt, who used to edit the
Antelope Herald, is conducting a little
sheet at Twickenham iu the interest of
that place for the county seat. James
S. Stewart edits the Fossil Journal, and,
of cour-e, urges the claims of bis own
town. Stewart is a clean, honorable
and able Scotchman, w ho has lived in
Fossil since hia boyhood and whom his
fellow citizens of Fossil have honored
with the mayorship of the town; his
brethern of the Knights of Pythias with
first chancellor commandership of that
order, and bis brethern of the. Oregon
press with the presidency of the state
press association. The light between
the rival editor, as was natural enough,
has been vigorous, not to aay bitter. It
remained, however, for Shutt to adopt
tactics that, happily lor the honor of
the profession, as well as our common
humanity, is never resorted to save by a
sneak and a poltroon. In Ihe issue of
the Wheeler county News (Shutt s
paper) ot the 25th of April, Shutt pub
lished the following:
The editor of the News is by no means
a saint ; but here are a f-w things, Itro.
Stewart, the people cf Wheeler county
can never accuse us of ling guilty of :
The News editor baa never served a
term in the penitentiary of Scotland for
the commission of a dastardly crime.
He was never compelled to learn the
cobbler's trade while confined iu the
penitentiary.
He never flew from Scotland or any
other country through disgrace or be
cause he could not look bis old neighbors
in the face."
Mr. Stewart's Scottish friends four
highly respected residents of the county
came to the rescue with incontestable
proof of Mr. Stewart's honorable boyhood
in his native land and of the fact that he
left it in the full order of respect of his
companions and fellowtownsmen of his
native Blairgowrie and Rattray.
In the county seat contest The
Chronicle has no direct concern, but it
protests, in the name of a prolession
which this man Shutt has disgraced,
against this cowardly and unmanly
method of w arfare against a hi other
editor. We have no recollection of any
thing so utterly low and baso in ten
year's experience in country newspaper
work. A direct charge of felony would
have had the saving grace of courage in
its promoter, but to libel by insinuation
and innuendo, and thus keep within the
law and save the measly libeler from
just retribution, in the quintessence of
poltroonery and meanness. Shutt is a
disgrace to the profession.
A Splendid Record.
Sheriff Kelly submitted to the county
court Wednesday bis books, rolls and
vouchers, and a summary of the business
that has been done in his office since be
entered upon the duties of sheriff in '08.
Accompanying the books and documents
was the following communication :
To the Honorable County Court :
Asth time for which I have been
elected by the citizens of Wasco county
will expire before the next meeting of
this court, I take this opportunity of
bringing before you the books, rolls, etc.
of this county, entrusted to my care,
showing the rolls properly balanced to
the 1st of this month, together with an
itemized statement of all collections
made and turned over to the county
treasurer, and for which I hold his re
ceipts. . It is mv belief that the books of
the.shentl s othce should be carefully
gone over at the close of each term of
office and I would ask of this court that
a thorough examination be made of
mine. I will at all times be glad to
assist the court in this matter, and am
ready to explain each and every item.
Robert Kelly.
The summary is a splendid testimony
to the efficiency of Mr. Kelly as a tax
collector. It is beyond question the
best showing that was ever made by
any sheriff that Wasco county ever bad.
It shows that Mr. Kelly has collected
no less than $53,202.13 of taxes that
were delinquent in 1893 and of the as
sessment rolls of '05, '00 and 97. The
roll of '98 called for the collection of
f 100,931.01, including the sheriff's own
assessment list. Of this sum $92,330.40
have been collected, and The Chronicle
is assured that when wrong assessments,
double assessments and other eriors are
counted up there will remain not to
exceed $3000 of delinquent taxes on the
roll of 1S9S. This is a showing that any
man has a right to be proud of. On this
showing the republicans have a right to
claim the re-election tf Mr. Kelly y
the largest majority ever given to a
sheriff.
It Was Hoeus After All.
A short time ago The Chronicle
called attention to a card that was being
circulated among railroad men in these
parts on which was printed what pur
ported to be a "Rtilroad riank" adopted
by the late democratic state convention.
The Chronicle viewed the card with
suspicion, not only on account of the
surreptitious way it was being circulated
but because the alleged piank it con
tained did not appear in the Oregonian's
report of the convention. It will be
remembered that Judge Bennett came
to the rescue of the suspicious plank and
; published a letter in Tub Chronicle ex.
j plaining how this particular plank came
tj be left ont and another substituted ia
i:a place. The matter was then fairly
, up to the Oregonian and that paper baa
I fine- made an investigation that leaves)
little doc.b: that the early suspicions of
The Chiioxiu e were correct, that the.
whole thing was a democratic scheme to
catch railroad votes. Here it is being
uw?d in the Interest cf Judge Bennett,
"the poor mau'a friend," God wot, and
he has it printed on the obverse side of
his campaign card. Of the plank the
Oregouian says :
"Chairman Chamberlain and secretary
Hedtield have certified to plank which
is not now and never was in their pos
session, nor was it ever in the possession
of the democratic state convention."
The Oregouian furUer says that this
bogus plank was brought into the dem
ocratic convention by a populist the
evening before the platform w as adopted,
and was read, and that that was the
first and only glimpse the democratic
state convention ever had of it. It
was drafted by Judge Bennett, as a
brother delegate of bis shrewdly hinted,
"that he might pose as the champion of
the oppressed servants of corporations."
When the convention sat down on it the
judge privately took it up and is using
it to boost himself into office. This fully
confirms the suspicions of The Chron
icle. Will the judge's little scheme
work? We shall see.
Hlti II I m Whore lie 1.1m.
The Dalles, Or., May 11, 1900.
To the Editor or The Chronicle :
I read with amusement the bewailinga
of the Times-Muuntaineer because the
republican party (or what the editor
calls the ring) did not attempt to satisfy
the Mountaineer in the nomination!
made. I think the republicans would
have shown poor judgment if ihey bad
taken any advice from this editor, for
he has not advocated the election of a
single man that has succeeded since he
has been in charge of the Times-Mountaineer.
As that paper has called on the re
publican nominees for the legislature to
define their positions, I should like to
call on two of the democratic nominees
for the legislature to explain their
records, A. K. Bennett and T. R. Coon.
I voted, for both these gentlemen the
last time they were elected to any office.
I am not satisfied with the record they
made and would like to have them ex
plain it before I would vote for them
again, or advice any other citizen of
Wasco county to do so.
Yours respectfully,
Ncmber Nine.
