Who can beat itT Tbe small amount of threshing that has been done on Tygh Ridge fully jus tifie the expectation of tbe farmer of that district. Tbe yield of Willi Hen dricks', on tbe old Griffin ranch, wag 4000 bushels from 100 acre, or forty bushels to tbe acre. The import and export of Porto Rico for the month of May, 1900, were ejch about 100 per cent greater than for the corresponding month of tbe year 1899. Tbi is the poverty and distress to which the democratic platform said tbe republican bad doomed the island. An army officer write from the Phil ippines that "when we kill tbe natives we find copies of Bryan' speeches on them and also circular from their juntas, in which Bryan is termed the 'greatest living American and a friend of Aguinaldo.' " Testimony of this kind from the army is so extensive tbat no one venture now to dispute it. Any pensioner, tbe victim of strong drink and dissipated habits, wbo make a public nuisance of himself may te in vestigated by Uncle Sam, and if found guilty ia likely to be dropped from the pension rolls." This is tbe latest ruling of tbe department lent out to pension agents, and may have a restraining in fluence with some of the veteran wbo spend too much pension money for in toxicants. One can form a pretty good idea of the Sherman county wheat yield this year, says the Grass Valley Journal, from the information given us- by Mr. Carl Peetz wbo ia farming tbe French plare near here. Mr. Peetz says the highest record of the French place waa about 900 Back of wheat, while this year it will go close to 2000 sack of No. 1 wheat. There are numerous other reports ot wheat going 25 and 35 buehals to the acre. Captain II. II. Coe tells the Hood River Glacier that the cause of the Bil lings being thrown on the rock at 2iiinn' the other day waa the breaking of tbe steering apparatus. The officers of the Central Navigation Company in this city inform The Chronicle tbat there ia not a word of truth in Coe'a statement. They aay that no part of the steering apparatus ever was broken or ia broken at this moment. It ia en tirely new and intact and waa recently placed in the boat at a cost of 650. C W.

Two very pretty children, a boy of 8 yeara and a girl of 6, passed through town yesterday on their way to Port land. They were from British Hon duraa, Central America, and were tagged to an uncle in Portland. Passengers on tbe train treated them with marked kindness, and voluntarily contribute. more money than they needed to bring them to their destination. The Chronicle has been asked to voice tbe complaint of quite a number of people who say that the tower of the bell at the central fire station ia so low that the bell ia not beard in many parts of the city where it would be beard if it were placed on a higher tower. Influ ential taxpayers insist that tbe tower be raised at least thirty feet above the present height, or to such an elevation that an alarm will be heard in any part of tbe city.

' Well, he has just taken his ax npon bis shoulder and gone forth into the primeval forest to procure fuel for the coming winter." Condon Times. The mine at Crofton Prairie, which we have spoken of several times, is turning out better than was expected of it, aaya tbe Goldendale Agriculturist. Wm. Van Vactor, Wm. Cooper and aon, A. W., Mr. Polan and othera have claima there, and are now forming a company for the purpose of running water down to tbe mines for hydraulic purposes. An assay was made of this ore last week, which went $10.16 to the ton. It is cement gravel, some 50 feet deep, and covers a large area of ground in that country. There is from 1 foot to 200 feet of lava on top of this cement gravel, but can be easily removed by hydraulic power as they can easily get a 400-foot fall of water right to their claims. These men are Jubilant over tbeir find and aay if it will even keep up to $2 or $3 pii ton all tbe way, it will be a bonanza and will be one of the biggest finds in the northwest, aa there are millions of tona of thia gravel there.

Hill's scheme for a big steamship line to the Orient seems to have taken shape in articles of incorpor ation filed with the secretary of state at St. Taul, Minn., by the Great Northern Steamship Company, with a capital stock of $0,000,000. James Stewart arrived here this morn ing from Monkland, Sherman county, and ia registered at the Umatilla House.

This is tbe view of expansion given by Hon. David B. Henderson, speaker of tbe national house of repre sentatives, to an Oregonian reporter in Portland yesterday. Charles H. Dodd, a former well-known implement dealer of Portland, has filed a petetion in voluntary bankruptcy in the United States district court. His assets consist of 740 shares of stock in the Charles H. Dodd Hardware Com pany, par value $74,000, and real estate of an estimated value of f 1000. The in debtedness greatly exceeds the assets The sheriff of Skamania county haa been notified that the family of Ed Un derwood is afflicted with smallpox. Mr Underwood lives at White Salmon, across the Columbia river from Hood River, The family has been quaran tined and every precaution will be taken to prevent the spread of tbe disease. One of Mr; Underwood's daughters, who had been attending a sick patient, carried the g erms home in her clothes. The cases are of a mild form. The local woo market is gradually as suming strong features and the tendency of the buyer and seller to meet on a common ground is the most marked feature of thr situation. The Chroni cle is assured that as high as 14,'g cents was refused yesterday for a choice clip. This morning Pease A Mays sold a clip of 40,000 pounds at 13,'i and centB. The expectation ia atrong that a large amonnt of wool will change bauds in the near future. F. Bennett and wife, of Boston, are registered at the Umatilla House. Mr. Bennett ia vice-president and acting president of the National Woolgrowers' Association, and while out on tbia coast he ia taking under consideration the advisability of holding the next annual meeting of the association in one of the large coast towns. It is understood that Mr, Bennett is favorably impressed with Portland. If the meeting shall be held on this coast it will be the first annual meeting the association has ever held west of tbe Hub, Frank Gunning yesterday received a letter all the way from Bombay, India, inquiring the price of his patent weed ing machine. The writer, Sorabjee Eurjorjee, siya he saw a notice of the machine in a newspaper, presumably the Chronicle, and that if the weeder will do satisfactory work a large number can be disposed of in the Bombay neigh borhood. Mr. Burjrjee asks no favors and offers to pay spot cash tor all the machines he may buy. He says the i means of traction generally used in that country is by bullocks. The health authorities of The Dalles and Hood River, Ore., and Klickitat and Skamania counties, Wash., have established a quarantine against Cooks Landing, Drano, Underwood, White Salmon and Ringen, Wash., and the D. P. A A. N. Company are forbidden, till fni ther notice, to receive freight or passsengers from these places for the other points mentioned. The action of tho health officers is based on a report that there are some twenty-five raes of smallpox in ihe neighborhood of Under wood and White Salmon, four rases at the latter place and twenty-one at the former. It Is said the diseaso haa been raiting there for upwards of two weeks, but that the people kept the matter concealed till two or three days ago. Tbe quarantine regulationa do not, of course, prevent freight and passengers being landed at tho points infected. The editor of the Fossil Journal, who is himself from the land "o the mount ain and the mist," apologizes in charac teristic Scotch fashion for the mildness of the rebuke recently administered to young Chester Dolph for abusing bis wife, by Police Judge Cameron. Says the Journal: "The people of Portland, in passing judgment on their new police judge concerning this bis first important case, should extenuatingly consider tbree things: First, he ia new In the judge business and may be a henpecked husband himself ; second, he ia a Scotch man, and it is a widely-known axiom tbat 'Scotch coortin' ia fechtin' an' acartin';' third, he may be from Olesca', where half the women would leave tbeir men if they failed to trounce them regu larly at least once a week." A Dutchman, addressing bis dog, said : "My dog you haf a schnap. You vas only a dog, and I vaa a man, but I vieh J I vaa you. Efery vay you haf the best of it. Yen you vant to go wit der bed in, you ehust durns round t'ree timea and lay down.

You play round all day and haf plenty of fun. I haf to work all day and haf plenty of trouble. Yen you die you still haf the best of me; you shust lie Btil. Yen I die I haft to go to hell yet." Ex. A Ten Thousand Dollar Fire. PERTINENT PRESS COMMENT. If all the stories in partisan papers of accessions to the republican party from the democrats and vice versa, are true, and tbe changes continue in the same proportion till November, a'.l the repub licans will vote for Bryan and all the democrats for McKinley. There Is one redeeming feature of these reports from China. If the one published today does not suit you, just wail nntil tomorrow, and the other An anias of the cable will have his innings. Denver Times. Kansas has been the prolific breeding ground of populism; but populism" is largely a matter of bad crops, droughts and grasshoppers. This year there is an enormous wheat crop in Kansas, ami there la a practical certainty of a ready market fur it. Nothing more untoward could have possibly happened for the politicians whose prospect of success is based upon a reasonable amount of ca lamity. The wheat crop ia likely to carry Kansas tor McKinley.

Lane's blacksmith hop, on Third street. j4dAwliu At 3 Monday morning a Ore broke out in the grocery store ot C. 6. Smith, in tbe East End, or possibly, as some think, in tbe narrow alley between Mr. Smith's store and that of bis neighbor, Charles Cohen. Before the alarm was t irned in the 6 re bad got considerable headway and had lighted up tbe entire East End. Tbe alarm was turned in by Chief Charles Lauer, and in short time seven powerful st'eama were play ing on the four buildings that were doomed to destruction before it was pos sible for the fire department to get in their work. The efficiency of the fire department and the superior advantages of the water supply were in marked contrast with those of tbe big fire of 1891, which start ed near the same place, and to both, but especially to the superior water supply, is due the fact that a large portion of the East End is not in ruins. The amount of property destroyed will aggregate in the neighborhood of $10,- 00Q. Tbe most of it waa covered by in surance. The only exception waa Cbaa. Burchtorf, who moved his bicycle repair stock and tools into one of the burned buildings yesterday without having pro cured a transfer of insurance. Mr. Burchtorf estimates his loss at $1000. The C. S. Smith stock of groceries was a total loss and waa partially insured. The building, owned by Fred Fisher and valued at $1100 waa inauredfor $500. The Biondin barber shop was partially intured, but not sufficiently to cover Mr. Blondio'a loss. The soda water factory of Weaver A Hayward waa in sured for $2000. Weaver A Hayward owned their own building, which is practically mined, but tbe machinery is only partially so. Charles Cohen's stock of gents' furnishings ia badly dam aged and tbe building is a wreck. Cohen carried $2000 insurance, which will prob ably cover his loss. The personal effects of Wallace Weaver, of Weaver & Hay ward, were insured for $150. Mr. Weaver's sister-in-law had re cently come here from Kansas and was stopping with the Weaver family over the soda factory. She lost all her cloth ing and a purse containing $500, $480 of which was fortunately in gold, and was recovered intact. Teachers' KiamlnaMons.
