to work on the artesian well this morn
ing they found the bottom had dropped
out of it since yesterday evening. At

W. Sturgis, a ward of the Portland
Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, who bas
been in jail here for runni, g away from
a place where the society bad placed
him near Hillsboro, has found a home
with W. H. H. Dufur, of Ramsey pre
cinct, where he was taken today by
Mr. Dutur, with tho coufent of the au
thorities here and of Mr. Gardnerof the
home. The lad is a stout, hearty
youth of 18 years, and, if hia own story Is
true, one can hardly blame him for run

compelled to work from ear'y morn till
dewey eve for his board and clothes.
John M. Cuuimlns, of Eilensburg.
Wash., formerly editor of the Klickitat
Leader and later on the staff of the
Eilensburg Localizer, was In town today
after attending the funeral of bis
brother-in-law, Charles Brune, at North
Dalles yeeterday. Mr. Cummins thinks
mgriiy ot Kittitas county. I here are
fifteen creameries in the valley around
Eilensburg, all doing well and makiug
money. One of them, the Eilensburg
creamery, located in the city, turns out
1500 pounds of butter and 700 pounds
of cheese daily. Baled timothy hay
was selling at $10.50 a ton when Mr.
Cummins left there. Times are good
and every body is too busy making
money to talk politics, but Mr. Cum
mins, although a democrat, has little
douht Washington's vote will be cast
for McKinley and Roosevelt.
Joe Dill man, a boy of some 18 years,
son of Mrs. Dilluian who lives In a tent
in the pines, was accidentally shot this
afternoon, jn the Simonson ranch on
Three Mile, by Riy Taylor, receiving
about twenty-five bird shot in parts of
his body from the knees to the chin.
The boys were hunting chickens and
Dillman was an hundred yards from his
companion wnen the shot was fired.
Dillman jumped on a pony and made
lor the office of Dr. Eshelman, where
some fifteen grains of shot were extract
ed, leaving six or eight in the region of
the neck and heart, some of which have
penetrated the lungs and produced a
slight hemorrhage. Dr. Eshelman an
ticipates no serious results, but there Is
every probability that if Dillman had
been much nearer the muzzle of Tailor's
gun the hoy would have been killed.

The steamer Iralda made her first run
on the new schedule today, leaving here
for the locks at 12:45 p.m. She will
leave the locks on the return trip at 6
tomorrow morning. This will give pei

Seneca lako, New York, which he has
not visited since he left there forty
three years ago. II will go by the
Great Northern to Dnluth and thence

counts on to have survived his fortv
three years' absence- is the lake, and he
is not aim ilntely sure of that.

The Lnited States government bas
placed at the disposal of the editor of
the Ladies Home Journal ail the illus
t'ative and statistical information in Its
private archives relating to the white
hoase, which will be one hundred years
old next November. The magazine wilt
use the msterial in connection with two
articles on the subject it will publish
shortly. That some of the views are
exceedingly rare is shown by the fact
that it was only recently that the state
department learned that tbey existed.
The city fathers in Astoria recently
advertised for bids for lighting the city.
Tuesday the ways and means committee
of the council met to open the bids.
There were three of them, but the one
that will probably be longest remem
bered was addressed to our old Wasco
county friend, A, Scherneckau, who is
chairman of the committee, and read as
follows: "The nudersigned proposes to
light the city with five shining lights,
namely, yourself, A. Brix, C. Goddard,
C. Green and E. P. Parker; said lights
to be suspended from poles lu promi
nent places in the city ; and it is hereby
guaranteed that the light thus furnished
will be as clear as mud."
There is a good story going the rounds
about Senator-elect Robert D. Inman,
of Multnomah county. It seems that
the senator was entertaining some
friends at bis house the other night. A
pleasant evening bad been pnssed, and
at 12 o'clock the only person left beside
himself was a friend who was to remain
with him for the night. While they
were locking up, the senator heard a
noise as of some one attempting to force
his way iuto the building. It is said by
the person who told this stcry that,
while Robert is no coward, his knees
seemed for one instant to knock to
gether. He looked at his friend, with a
face devoid of any expression, except
wonder, and then started on a double
quick for the back yard. Running
through the orchard and over tree
stumps and roots, all of a sudden a jack
rabbit obtruded itself in Bob's path.
Not to be outdone, and still in a state of
excitement, Bob cried out at the rabbit,
"Get out of the way , d n you, and let
some one run that can run."
Few people have any idea of the num
ber of Indian baskets and other curios
ol that class that una a market among
the whites in the course of a vear. The
handsomest of these baskets, and many
of them are very beautiful, are made
from the bark of cedar and willow roots.
Their manufacture is rapidly becoming
a lost art, for the younger generation of
squaws have neither the skill nor
patience necessary for the work. Martin
Donnell does an extensivo business in
these backets, importing them all the
way from Victoria, Fraser river, Thomp
son river and other parts of British
Columbia. Mr. Donnell can tell at a
glance what tribe of Indians make a
particular kind of basket. The baskets
made by the Klickitat Indians are
beautifully formed and the finest of
them sell readily for $10. Only four
squaws now living are able to make
them, one at Lyle, one at White Salmon,
old Jemima of Mosier, and another
squaw living on the Big Klickitat, The
younger women never attempt anything
finer than "Sally bags," little bags or
sacks ol small capacity, that are made
out of a species of grass.
E. J. Stringhain, a traveling man of
New York, is in the city on his semi-annual
trip, says yesterday's Spokesman
Review. He has just come from San
Francisco and says : "I never saw that
city as prosperous as at the present
lime. The Philippine trouble bas un
loaded all kinds of money there. The
soldiers going out spend lots of it, and
when they return they unload what they
have left. This makes a large sum in
the cource of a year, and besides this
the government itself is putting large
sums In circulation through its various
purchases. The Snn Francisco mer
chants are reaping a harvest as a conse
quence. In fact, all over the coast I
find the effect of the government trade,
brought on by the trouble in the Phil
ippines and augmented by that in
China. Expansion has been a great
thing for the West, and of course your
state is going strong for McKinley as a
consequence. I tell you the city of New
York is going to pile up the handsomest
majority for McKinley this fall that she
was ever known to do for any candidate.
It may be the tail of the ticket that will
cause the stampedo, but it is coming.
No one can help voting for Roosevelt.
He is what Diogenes of old looked(for in
the di generate days of Greece, an hon

The deadlock in the local wool market
was broken yesterday to the extent that
about 200,000 pounds changed hands at
prices ranging from 11 to 14 cents a

Capt. II. C. Coe returned from Arl
ington Tuesday night. He and Captain
Whitcomb were at the wheel when the
steamer Billings cra'hed into the rocks
opposite Quinn's landing. The accident,
he says, was due to the inadequate
stearing gear of the steamer, which
broke at the critical moment and pre
cipitated the boat on to the rocks. The
boat is not so badly damaged as report
ed, and will be ready to continue her
trip in another week. Glacier.
The Yakima correspondent of the
Spokesman-Review reports that the Ya
kima valley will harvest fully 200,0(10
tons of alfalfa hay this summer. The
product brings $4 per ton in the stack,
and $6 per ton, baled, on board the cars.
If these prices hold up, the Yakima
valley will receive more than a million
dollars this year from that single prod
uct, not to speak of its income from
sales of fruit, hops, live stock, dairy
products, grain and other farm products.
"What is the difference between Bry
an and Buffalo Hill?" asked a Dallesiie
of the Chronicle man this morning.
The question was a poser, coining from
a man who was an earnest supporter uf
Bryan and -16 to 1 four years ago. The
Chhonici.b man was therefore wary and
"gave it up" with slight hesitation.
"The difference is," said he, "Buffalo
Bill has a show arid Bryan has none."
"I thought," said the newspaper man,
"you were for Bryan." "Not this time,
thank yon," was the answer. And
that's the was it goes in these parts.

A sad accident happened at Daven
port' planer last Fiidy, says the
Glacier. Little Willie Forbes, 7 year
old son of John W. Forbes, attempted
to climb np on John Rogers' In in tier
wagon as it passed his father's house.
He slipped and fell and one of the hind
wheels passed over bis breast. The
child got up and ran into the house and
laid down on the lounge. A physician
was telephoned fur, but before his ar
rival the child was dead. William John
Forbes was a bright little boy, loved by
all who knew him. The bereaved par
ents have the sympathy of the commun
ity. Yesterday, after the excitement in
cident to the arrival of a bouncing baby
boy in the family of Tim Brownliill had
subsided a little, Tim telephoned to his
friend Dr. Sanders tnat a stranger had
arrived in the Brownhill mansion on a
protracted visit who had, unfortunately,
no teeth, and it was desired to know
what a new double set, made in the
doctor's beet syle of art, would cost.
Not till the doctor had explained and
enlarged on every kind and price of
teeth known to the dental profession
did he "catch on," and then he laughed
so long and loud that Tim had to ring
him off for fear he would burst tho
'phone. For the doctor had had a little
toothless visitor come on a "protracted
visit" to his own house the other day.
The state board of agriculture is mak
ing a great etlort this year to mae the
state fair a representative agricultural
and livestock show. Tho premium list
is out and is being thoroughly distrib
uted throughout the state, and personal
efforts are being made to attract the at
tention of farmers and stockmen to the
very liberal premiums offered. Several
counties in the state are prepaiing a
county exhibit for the fair, for they
realize it will be a good opportunity to
advertise their county in a most prac
tical way. Each exhibit will be a
lecture room, and an object lesson for
the home-seeker, where he can get in
formation along intelligent lines, and
will be worth many dollar in advertis
ing the county's resources.
Hood River has long felt the need oi
printed matter that would answer
questions propounded by home-seekers,
in regard to climate, schools, churches,
land values, fruit growing, etc. To
meet this demand the Glacier, in
partnership with E. R. Bradley, Hood
River e job printer, will issue, about
August 15th, a forty-page pamphlet
giving a history of the town of Hood
River and valley, its settlement, in
uustnes, resources, etc. The write-up
will be the best Hood River hns ever
had. The book will contain illustrations
and will he something worth sending to
home-seekers or persons asking for in
formation in regard to Hond River. A
limited number of pages wilt be devoted
to advertisements of homf merchants at
the rate of $10 a page. Advertisers will
be given copies of the book at the rate
of fifty to a page ad. Three thousand
copies will be printed. The book will
be sold at 10 cents a copy. Glacier,
The Telegram says efforts are being
made to prevent the confiscation of
Long Beach, and a lengthy petition is
being prepared to be submitted to the
next legislature of Washington. The
news that a scheme was on foot to seize
the thirty miles of sea beach, the star
attraction for bathers, created conster
nation in the ranks of the citizens and
taxpayers along the beach, as well as
the thousands of summer visitors. As
protest against the wholesale plan to
gain possession of the beach by certain
individuals, the taxpayers from Ilwaco
to Ledbetter Point, have formed a de
fensive campaign. Copies of a petition
to the coming legislature have been cir
culated broadcast. Almost every hotel
and boarding bouse on the beach has a
copy of the petition, which is signed by
citizens, taxpayers and visitors to North
Beach. The petition cites the fact that
the beach has been used for mere than
fifty years as the only public highway
between the town of Oysterville on the
north and Ilwaco on the south, and de
mands that it be made a public high
way in law as it lias been in fact ami
usage since the first white settlement in
what is now known as Pacilic county.

There are also found in the Hood
River valley some of the most delight
ful spots on earth for camping and fish
ing, and while it is not tht Intention of
Tub Chronicle to "tell tales out of
school-," we would just drop a hint
that among the popular campers there
is no less a personage that Cupid him
self, who has pitched bis tent under the
"birch" trees bordering the path of sin
gle blessedness, where he is on the alert.
If it be true that our able superintend
ent has been "teaching him how to
shoot," with instructions to let no
school marm pass, then indeed will
many find tne path at Hood River ter
minates within the "wholly bounds" of
matrimony.
