than satisfied. It has come to us unsolicited, and we shall ac
cept it with good grace.

There is no question but the fall
wheat crop in the Willamette valley is
going to be very short, and neither
spring wheat nor oats will give anything
like a full yield, says the Salem States
man. This is unfortunate; but it will

of diversified farming, especially as the
dairying boom is on to assist in the dem
onstration. Coroner Hart, of Klickitat county,

Archey Todd was arreBted yesterday
morning by Night Watchman Phirman

to cash one of them that he had evi

unately for Archey, on a visit to Ireland.

Kelly, by mere accident, got wind of the
business and set a watch for him, with
the above result. Archey claims to be
a much injured man -and pretends lie
does not know w hat he was arrested for.

instead of Wednesday evening, as an
nounced. The new county officers assumed their

A fire tomorrow would be doubly un
fortunate with so many absent from the
city, so we would advise the small boy
(and large boy as well) to take heed to
the whereabouts of the diminutive fire
cracker, which may prove enormous in
its results.

The Astoria boys better look well to
their honors when our band boys come
marching in tomorrow, for they looked
decidedly nobby this morning in their
linen dusters anil white caps. The
leader, however, failed to don the regu
lation costume, and it was evident there
were not enough ulsters in town to go
around him. But the -girls will see
him just the same.
A change took place in the manage
ment of Hlakeley A Houghton's drug
store on the first of this month, F. L.
Houghton having sold his interest to
G. C. Biakeley, who is now sole owner.
These gentlemen have been connected
in the drug business for over ten year,
and have conducted one of the most
popular places of business in the city.
So far as we have learned Mr. Houghton
has no intention of leaving The Dalles.
While thej partnership was a pleasant
one, enjoyed by both proprietors and
patron, we bespeak for Mr. Biakeley
the same generous patronage they have
always held.
The professors and former pupils of
Mt. Angel college, are arranging to lioid
a mass meeting of all former students in
the near future, which bids fair to be
one of the most enjoyable affairs imagin
able. This college has for years been
doing a splendid work in educating
Oregon's young people, and a meeting of
this kind will be greatly appreciated by
those who love their alma mater and
those connected therewith.
Hood River has shown the good judg
ment to again choose one of The Dalles
teachers to fill a vacancy la ber school,
and last evening Miss Anna Thompson
received notice of her appointment.
Miss Thompson is a graduate of Mon
mouth normal school and has had re
markable success in tbe positions she has
held near The Dalles. Hood River may
therefore congratulate herself on ber
good luck in securing her services.
In another column we publish our
new mayor's message, which is troly
interesting reading to those who have
the good of the city at heart. True to the
principles under which he was elected,
the tone of the message indicates that
those who honored him with an office
which was not sought by him, have
made no mistake in their choice. Mayor
Dufur evidently intends to nse in the
city affairs the same good common sense
for which he has always been noted.
Almost a week has passed and stilt
Mrs. Sptnk and family await further
news concerning the drowning of her
only son, Robert E. Rintonl, in the
Snake river on the 27th. The merest
news of bis death was received and as
yet no word as to the finding of the
body has been heard. He leaves a wife
and two children. The suspense is ter
rible to those who mourn his untimely
loss and they have the sympathy of all.
Among the passengers on the ex
cursion boat this morning was Mr.
Hugh Gonrlay, editor of Tub Chronicle:,
who, having laid aside his editorial
mantle, will don bis bathing suit and
paddle in the waters of the Pacific for
the next fortnight. Having also left
the official pencil and scissors behind,
he evidently has no intention of favor
ing our readers with poetic effusions
on "old ocean," but will confine his
writing to the burning sands. His
"summer girl" (who, by the way is also
his winter girl) will meet him in Astoria,
where they will enjoy the celebration
and he will return with her to their
cottage at Ocean Park.
The D:tUes is soon to have another
neat church edifice added to the list of
which she is already justly proud, and
next Monday morning workmen will
begin tearing down the building which
has for the past six years served the
purpose of a place of worship for the
members of the Calvary Baptist church,
preparatory to the erection of a new
church. While the present quarters
have been tilted up neatly and served
their purpose well up till the present,
they are certainly not adequate to the
requirements of the growing congrega
tion. Beside this, the building has not
been an ornament to that portion of the
city, and not only the members of that
church but all will be pleased to learn
that a building will be erected which
will greatly improve this street which la
used so continuously. For that reason
alone, laying aside the broader and
mora deserving one, they should receive,
the assistance of the entire community
in their work.
