Charles Crsig was arrested yesterday
(in r.niii nlaint of Mrs. Katie Fleik,
charging him with having committed an
assault on her daughter, who is a minor.
The singular, not to say suspicious,
thing about the complaint is that the
crime is alleged to havo been committed
April 0, 1999, nearly a year and a half
airo. Craiif gave bonds for his appear
ance before Justice Brownhill at 10
o'clock this morning, hut when that
hour arrived he was so drunk he had to
be placed ill the ounty cooler and the
examination postponed till tomorrow
morning.
Horsemen and other citizuns who be
lieve The Dalles ought to have a race
track and grounds adapted for holdirjg a

here) will be interested in knowing that
A. M. Kelsay is willing to leace grounds
nfHi-Ient for a mile truck an 1 neces-
sary buildings, on his place below town,
tnat is admitted by everybody to be the
in,,.! desirable site for a track anywhere
near The Dalies. Mr. Kelsay will give
flv nr ten vears' lease, as may bo de-
ImM. at an annual rental of $300, which,
considering the valuo of the land, ought
. I. retainable. It Is hardly neces-
sary to remind the Dalh's people that
horsemen greatly prefer the climate oi
this section to that of almost any owir
place in the state, and that a track here
means the almost constant presence oi
a large number of men and animals, for
whose keeping every dollar ezpecded is
spent here, and spent freely.
Read what Salt Lake papers say of
the exhibition that is coming to the
Baldwin opera bouse tomorrow night;
"Of all the modern achievements of
mechanical art none exceeds the won
ders attained by the marvelous vitascope
which is now in operation at the Salt
palace every night in the week. Through
the agency of this delicate and compre
hensive Invention of that great wizard
of the age, Thos. Edison, beautiful
scenes from nature are shown upon a
vast white curtain, Just as the eye
photographs them. The range of sub'
lects is innumerable and includes
pictures of action and verve. - Every
scene is a triumph of beauty, art and
attractiveness. A long list of splendid
subjects will be exhibited."
A case of particular interest to mining
men was commenced in the Portland
courts yesterday morning in the suit of
W. C. Kellman against C. M. Cart-
wright, to recover $35,000, said to be tbe
value of a high interest in mining prop
erty in Crook county, Oregon. Accord
ing to the complaint, Kellman, who is
a mining engineer, entered into an
agreement with Cartwright, bv the
terms of which Kellman was to furnish
his experience and Cartwright the
money, and if any mines were discov
ered each was to have a half interest
Kellman claims to have been instru
mental in securing the Silver King and
other mines, which he estimates are
worth $75,000, and he claims that Cart
wright if fuses to give him his rightful
share. Mr. Cartwright denies all of
the allegations in the complaint.

The Glacier humbly acknowledges
that The Dalles can beat Hood River
this year on big peaches, but we are
ahead on big apples. We ask the Chron
icle editor to await reports from the

doesn't make tbe better showing. Hood

A fruit tree propagator has at last pro
duced a seedless apple, and the fruits
have been seen by many interested in
pomology, so that in a few years' time a
good supply of these pipless apples will
be found on the market, says the Lon
don Globe. It is said, too, that these
apples are superior In flavor to the or
dinary kinds. Already high prices are
being paid for the trees, which fo some
timo yet will be bought up by rich ama
teurs. The Telegram says : "Baptist minis
ters of Portland are preparing to attend
the Oregon state convention October
17-21, at The Dalies. The meetings
will be held in the Calvary Baptist
church. The ministerial conference

Rev. Ray Palmer, of the Second Baptist
church of this city, will deliver the ad
dress. The annual sermon will be
preached October 17th by Rev. Dr. Alex
ander Blackburn.
Geologists assert that the island upon
which Galveston is located s slowly
sinking and that in a few hundred years
it will be entirely submerged beneath
the waters of the gulf. The recent fear
ful catastrophe which nearly destroyed
the city is likely to be enough in Itself
to lower the value of insular and coast
real estate in that part of the South, but
when the assurance of coming perma
nent submersion is added, a prosperous
future for Galveston eeems impossible.
Hon. George J. Barrett, representative-elect
for Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam,
Grant and Wheeler counties, is laid up
at his home in consequence of a kick he
received from a horse whose hoof he
was cleaning. The animal kicked Mr.
Barrett in the right leg, which was bad
ly cut, and in coming in violent colli
sion with the side of the barn Mr. Bar
rett sustained severe scalp bruises.
Although no bones were broken, a num
ber of stitches had to he taken to repair
the tctlp wound and close up the cut in
the leg.
Charles Craig was sentenced this
morning injustice Brownhill's court to
a fine of $25 for an assault on the 10-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Katio Fleck.
The offence was committed a year and a
half ago, and would have been over
looked by the mother of Ihe child had
not Craig attempted a similar assault a
few days ago on a younger sister whom
he met in the sand drift south of the
mission gardens. The little one was on
horsebak and so broke away from him.
Craig pleaded guilty, but tried to excuse
himself on the ground of drunkenness.
The justice reprimanded the prisoner
severely, and said his only regrst was
that he could not send him to the enl-
tentiary for ten years. The small fine
I in posed was at the request rf Mrs,
Fleck, seconded by the prosi eating at
torney, J. B. McGrath, latcowner of the Rich
mond stables in the Eal En I, died
Wednesday at tho M. Cushii g place of
diabetes, aged al out 40 yeare. The de
ceased came here about a year ago from
Sherman county, where he formerly
oane l a fine farm and w as we' I to do.
He was a widower and leave ono son,
who is a resident -of this city, He was
a man of generous impulses ; too gener
ous, alas, for his own good. When he
came here he had in the neighborhood
of $4000 in cash and notes. He was
buried yesterday from the poor house
and at the expense of the county.
C. C. McGowan, the canneryman,
takes a hopeful view of the prospects
for salmon fishing on the Columbia
l iver, says the Astoria Budget. He does
not fear extinction of the Chinook sal
mon, but feels confident that the rivers
may be stocked through the agencies of
hatcheries. "Last year was the only
one in which any great number of young
fish were turned loose," be said, "and
it is too soon to judge the results. In
1899 there were 21,000,000;fry let loose
in the Columbia and Willamette rivers
by the fish hatcheries operating in Ore
gon and Washington. Previous to last
year there were never more than 2,000,
000 to 6,000,000. and yet we have ample
evidence of the good work done by
hatcheries. If only one-tenth of these
fry return, it would give us a pack of
400.000 cases. I am very much in favor
of establishing more hatcheries, as there
appears to be plenty of money on hand
to be used for that purpose. Oregon
has made a good appropriation, and tho
fund derived from fishermen's licenses
is quite a good one. I look for better
packs from now on, year after year."

The Dalles is to bold a harvest fair
and carnival. This much is certain.
The committee, appointed Monday night
to confer with the citizens and come to
a final dtcision, met in the council
chambers last night and reported favor
ably. R. B. Slnnott took the chair and an
nounced that sufficient funds had been
pledged, together with what might be
reasonably expected from parties who
had not yet been asked to subscribe, to
make it certain that sufficient money
could be raised to insure the success of
the undertaking. He believed the fair
would prove one of the most profitable
ventures The Dalles has ever under
taken. It would attract thousands of
people from the surrounding country
who have not been able to take in the
Portland carnival and who will not at
tend the fair at Pendleton. It would ba
worth to the business men of The D.vlles
many times its coBt. This was the pre
vailing sentiment of the meeting.
The committee were in favor of having
as many free entertainments as their
means would afford, and it was de
termined to avoid Ihe objections raised
by many against the management of
the Portland fair for allowing charges to
be collected however small each might
be at almost every turn. If we treat
our visitors generously we will Insure
their friendship and appreciation, and
even if it cost a little more at the time
The Dalles will be the gainer in the
long run.
On motion the chair appointed the
following gentlemen to act with himself
as an executive committee, with full
power to do all that may be deemed
necessary to promote the success of the
undertaking: E. C. Pease, C. L. Phil
lips, Ben Wilson, Chas. Stephens.
The committee met again this morn
ing and appointed a sub-committee of
three to go down to Portland and see
what can be done along the line of pro
curing entertainment and other attrac
tions. CASTOR I A
