A lady was heard to remark yesterday,
as she with difficulty drove through the
etreets of our city: "The Dalles cer
tainly Deeds fair streets more than she
needs a street fair."
Mr. David Oilman, father of J. W.
Giltnan, died at the- Corncob ranch,

1900, at the advanced age of 84 years.
He was ill but three weeks.
We offer for a limited period the
twice-a-week Chronicle, price $150,
and the Weekly Oregonian, price $1.50,

One week from tomorrow The D.illes
will he visited by two prominent divine?.
Rev. Ackerman, of the First Congrega
tional church cf Portland, and Rev, A.
W. Polwine, of the Fendleton Epiecopa
lian church.
The Chronicle will be represented at
the Portland carnival on its last day by
the editor, Mr. Hugh Gourlay, who left
on the early morning train to spend the
day neer ina into the mysteries of the
exhibition. He will return on to
morrow's noon train.
We understand that Ibe Dalles is
soon to Lave just what she has long
needed a sanitarium, to be built by
the Drs. Ferguson on the lot adjoining
their residence on the bluff, which will
bo a beautiful site. We trust the project
will soon he carried into eilect. as we
are assured it will be.
the Macedonian cry from terror-
stricken Galveston has resounded
throughout the union and is 'finding a
Tesponse in hundreds of cities and vil
lages. The Pacific coast is among those
ho heed its call and yesterday $500 was
sent from Portland, and tomorrow an
other $500 will be added, among which
will be donation collected by one of
her citizenB at The Dalles. Salem's
mayor has also started a fund there.
Tiie friends of Miss Sarah Henderson
leain with deep regret that she has re
signed her position as stenographer at
IVase 4 Mays and will leave the first
of next week, for her heme near Hills
boro, where Bbe will recuperate before
accepting another position. Beside be
ing an excellent stenographer, Mies
Henderson will be sadly missed by the
large number of friends whom she has
made by her sunny disposition and lady
like manner.
Fruit men at The Dalles are not afraid
to compete with any section when it
comes to a show down, and although
they claim to be carrying on a friendly
rivalry with Hood River alone at the
Precent, from the appearance of a bunch
of grapes brought into the office by
Andrew TJrqnbart this morning,
would suggest that California look well
l" its laurels. The bunch is of the
Flaming Toksy variety and weighs threo
pounds. It is a beauty and In appear
rice is not deceitful, for the flavor is
delicious.
Tis strange how position of honor,
be it ever so small, will affect even the
dumb brutes, as Is seen in the case of
nr erstwhile nuisance, Coinlni's goat,
iiice returning from the Portland
carnival, where he was clad in royal
Purple and attended our Klks' queen,
he aforesaid gOBt has decided that
measly chrysanthemums are too thin for
I'i'n and has taken to peaches. Conse
1'lently s box 0f t,is cholco fruit which
s left in front of the express office last
night will fail to reach its destination.
Wiring the luscious fruit was pro
''"'ling from the "air-holes" in the box,
be put his sharp teeth to good use and
bence the destruction. There's no doubt
bt this animal is "peach."
Mrange to say, we nre informed by
'""t night's Telegram that the fishermen
" Mie lower Columbia have a "kick
roniin,." Now, dew tell. Is It possible?
nd all because the season didn't open
rly enough to suit them and a fish or
to slipped through their "Fins" and
"'(bed the upper river. Truly this
'ate of affairs ii appauling, and the Fins,
uiwi, ana !it not, who invest the
waters of the lower river should im
mediate!? tske steps to teach the legis
lature of the state that in the beginning
the Maker oi the universe created the
sea, the river and all that in them is and
gave the firshermen of that section do
ruin ion over the while works. But,
seriously speaking, and for the gratifica
tion of these same swine we will just
assure tbem that although the season
did start out encouragingly at the be
ginning and it looked as if npper Col
nmbia fishermen might get at least
smell of Astoria's fish ; the past few days
the run has ben slacking np, and no
djobt if the tnpply is sufficient for our
needs before the season closes, another
miracle of the loaves and fishes must
take place.
The educational facilities of a city are
never complete until within its midst is
an institution of leartnuit w herein young
ladies from a distance may find home
comforts and watchful care while pur
suing their studies. This need is fully
supplied in The Dalles by St, Mary's
Academy, which starts out on this year's
work with very promising prospects.
While almost every one of last year's
pupils have returned, a large number of
new ones have entered, both from the
city and abroad. The increase In the
musical department is particularly
noticable. During the recent vacation
the building underwent repairs, which
add greatly to its facilities In every way.
Among other improvements stone slate
black hoards have been placed In each
recitation room, greatly facilitating the
work. The SUters feel much encouraged
at the outlook for this year.
No doubt many of bis friends in this
city were not aware of the death of a
former prominent citizen of The Dalles
in Spokane last week. We refer to the
late D. M. McLeod, who was buried on
Wednesday of last week at that place
About thiee years ago Mr. McLeod
developed symptoms of consumption,
and later upon the arrival of Dr. Suther
land he began a treatment for the disease,
but too late, for while bis life was pro
longed for perhaps two years, vet be
could not be saved. During most of his
illness, however, he was able to attend
to his real estate business, and was con
fined to his home during his last illness
but four days. Mr. McLeod left The
Dalles in 1889 having been a vcr
popular resident of this city for yea.a
and a member of the firm of Moody &
MeL'oJ. He was also a leading worker
in the Congregational church and super
intendent of the Sunday school.

Thomas Brown, who lives on the old
Ruffuer place on the Mosicr road west
of town, left at this offiefl this morning
two Gloria Mundi apples that weighed
20 ounces each. One measured 14 inches
in circamference. They were both wind
falls, having been blown off the trees in
the storm of a week ago, and were im
mature. A company of Goldendale prospectors
who own several mining claims on the
Little Klickitat, about nine miles down
stream from Goldendale, have bonded
their claims for $35,000. Work on the
claims will be prosecuted vigorously in
the near future.. Careful tests have
shown that the mines will pay band
somely.
The ladies of St. Paul's Gnild have
decided on the date for the concert to be

of the building fund of the church, and
fixed Monday next, September 24th.
It will be given in the Baldwin opera
house and Mrs. Klein will be assisted by
Mr. William Birgfeld and other local
talent.
"When Brighatn H. Roberts of Utah
. . . . .-I i ,
was passing inrougn me uaruun ui
Gethsemane, so to speak, last winter,"
said Chas. 8. Vorhees in a speech made
at Spokane the other night, "a lady was
asked at the national capital if she be
lieved him guilty ol bigamy. 'Guilty of
bigamy,' she asked, 'guilty of bigamy!
why he is guilty of trigonometry.'

Mrs. Ada Taylor was examined yes
terday at Hood River by Dr. M. F.
Shaw and adjudged insane. From the
papers we learn that she
is a native of Missouri aged 21 years;
that she has been subject to attacks of
insanity sines she was 19 year old ; and
that her first attack dtes from the
birth of a baby threo "vears agn. She
talks unreasonably about tier dead child
and aoout imaginary enemies, and is at
times violent and destructive. She was
taken to Salem today.
a very pleasant surprise party was
given last WednesJay afternoon by Miss
Krauss iu honor of her mother, Mrs
George krauss. The porch, parlor aud
dining room were beautifully decorated
by the choicest of flowers, ar.d a delight
ful afternoon was spent iu varied imute
meats and brought to a close by an ele
gant reliction, lhose present were:

Judge Blakeley and Commissioner
Hamman went to Hood River yester
day where they met Commissioner
Evans and, in response to complaints,
viewed a piece of county road that had
been changed by the O. R. & N. Co. in
their work of improving their road bed.
The court concluded that no damaee
had been done to the public through the
change. They also inspected what is
known as the Rand-Coburg road, where
Mr. Rand wants that part of the road
that goes through bis place closed, and
the part that goes through the Coburg
place left open, and Mr. Coburg wants
the changes in exactly opposite direc
tions. The court concluded that the
brethren would have to settle the diffi
culty between themselves before it felt
justified in taking any action.
A fire occurred in the east Bhow win
dow of C. F. Stephens' dry goods store
about 6 o'clock Saturday night that,
happily, was soon extinguished. It
caught from an electric lamp that ac
cidentally came in contact with a cur
tain in the back part of the window. It
was first seen by a boy on the outside
who gave the alarm and Mr. Stephens
in a few minutes had it under control
The window was dressed with ladies
cloaks and lur collarettes, which were
damaged to the amount of about $125,
The property was fully insured. The
super-heating of the lamp that caused
the fire, by the flames outside, softened
the glass and the vacuum inside drew
in the glass till a dent was lormed larpe
enough to lay one's thumb in. The
lamp was otherwise uninjured and is
doing service In Mr. Whealdon's office,
ine Danes street lair committee is
making satisfactory progress in arrang
ing for the fair. Two members of the
committee in a little while this forenoon
secured promises of exhibits from thir
teen of the business bouses of the city
The committee's reception was such
that they feel justified in believing that
this number will be nearly doubled, and
In any event it, will greatly exceed any
thing of the kind The Dalles has ever
had. It is practically settled that the
fair will be held on the two blocks on
Third street lying between Washington
and Laughlin and including the block
between Second and Third streets on
Federal street. The thirteen exhibitors
already obtained are A. M. Williams and
Co., Pease & Mays, Jacobsen & Co.,
Clarke & Falk, C. J. Stubling, F. 8.
Gunning, Farley & Frank, D. P. & A. N
Co., Dalles Soda Works, Victor Marden,
Great Northern Furniture Store, Maier
& Benton and J. Bonn.

winning speaker. The local union be
speaks for the lady a large audience.
Labor is so scarce that the hop-grow.
era at Puyallup wait at the trains and
quarrel over who shall have any men in
search of work. That goes to show that
if Mr. Bryan depends upon the army of
rnemployed for his support in Wash
inuton, his vote is likely to be as numer
ous as the proverbial corporal's guard
There are ninety-one veterans of the
different wars In tbe Oregon Soldiers'
Home, classified as follows: Nine Mex
ican, twenty-five Indian, fifty-six Civil

The older cows he will fatten and dis
pose of for, beef. Mr. Van Bibber has
been in the dairy business for thirty-five

serves us, at a little alter midnigni Mr.
Van Bibber covered the three miles be
tween here and his ranch and delivered
to his customers the two milkings of the

habits kept him In the harness.
On his last visit to England Bishop
Potter, of New York, was addressed as
your grace" nntil the phrase became a
nightmare. When he arrived home
again it happened that the first person
to address bim as he walked down the
gangplank was a longshoreman who
knew bim. "Hullo, bish, how are you?
said the man, and the bishop fell to
thinking which of the two styles he pre
ferred. Dr. R. E. Smith, of the Oregon In
firmary of Osteopathy of Portland, and
graduate of tbe American school of oste
opathy of Kirksville, Mo., under the
founder, Dr. A. T. Still, will open an

There seems to be no money In the
cay use-canning business and consequent
ly the abattoir at Linnton will shut
down within a short time. The expor
tation of canned horse-meat to European
countries , has been discouraged by re
strictive legislation, and by the acts of
foreign countries in every way. This
being the case, the peaceful career of
the herds of horses on the hillsides of
Eastern Oregon will no longer be inter
rupted.
J. R. Burton, a prominent lawyer of
Abilene, Kan, made a republican
speech at Sedalia, Mo., a short time ag)
to an Immense audience and received
the closest attention. Onlyonce was he
interrupted when a Bryanlte on a front
seat called out In stentorian tones:
"The republicans have nominated two!
kings." Barton stopped and in tbe
most suave manner said : "My friend.
dou t you know that two kings always'
ocaltwoj.cks?' ' j
"If I were to
give you an orange,"
said a learned iudire. "I would ainm'v
i 6y, 'I give you the orange,' but should
tbe transaction be intruded to a lawyer
to put in writing he would adopt this
- - (

vey to you all my iuterest, right, title

County surveyor J. B. Goit has re
turned from Juniper Flat, where lie
made two surveys, ono from Clear creek
and the other from White river, for the
purpose of determining which is tin
more practicable way to get water for
Irrigating and domestic purposes on the
Flat. The ranchers, who have made up
their minds to do tbe work without ask
ing outside help, finally decided on the
White river route and expect to com
mence operations this fall. It wiil take
nine miles of flume to bung (lie water
on the flat, at an estimated cost of $0000,
or some $50 for each quarter section lo
be benefited. It is calculated to build a
V flume, with three foot sides and a ca
pacity of 1100 miners' inches. The
flume will have a grade of a little less
than an inch to the rod, which will give
a flow of four and a half miles an hour,
These estimates will give each quarter
section to be benefited live miners'
inches of water. The ranchers will erect
a saw mill of their own for the purpose
of getting the lumber utviled for the
flume. They expect in a short time to
have their organization perfected so that
they can accomplish as much work as
possible before winter sets in.

The Condon Times says: "On Au
gust 2Sth tbe camp of Wilson A Burton,
sheepmen, of Rock creek, was set on
fire by some ranchers and completely
destroyed, only the coat and vest of tbe
herder escaping tbe flames. The incen
diaries had Bet these garments out of
reach of tbe flames, and they, along with
the ashes, were all that remained to
show the herder where his camp had
stood.
On August 30th Wilbur Curl's camp
was set on nre and demolished, every
thing being lost.
On September 6:h Frank Curl,who is
herding for Joshua Hardie, was awak
ened from his slumber by a fusilade of
rifle shots in close proximity to camp,
and on examination in the morning he
found eighteen hend of sheen killed.
Mr. Hardie was sent for, and as he has
the rtnge be was herding on rented, he
decided to stay. Ihe desperadoes re
turned on the nigbt of the 7th, but this
time their volley was returned and they
were put to flight. The defenders were
able to recognize the forms of three
men, two handling the guns and the
other holding three horses at a safe dis-
por-ljnce, but could not identify then:,"

Perhaps no former school jear in its
history has witnessed so maov changes
in the corps of teachers, one of the num
ber Miss Ella Cooper so far overstep
ping the UMial order of things as to
leave the lieaten path and join the
matrimonial ranks. Their places have,
boa ever, been filled with as competent
substitutes and the work will not be re
tarded thereby.
The course of study in the High
school has been changed materially,
thus strengthening its efficiency, and
requiring more time to complete the
come. While a number who expected
to finish this year have decided to re
main during the two years, arrange
ments have been made whereby others
who desire to graduate this year will be
given as complete a courso and even

acquired undor former coinlitions. Two

Miss Martha Whealdon, of the class of
'99, baa been engaged to teach the
Center Ridge chool in district No. 33,
and will assume her duties on the 24th.
Miss Elsie Ball, one of the most suc
cessful of our public school teachers will
take up the normal course at Monmouth
this year, and left tbe city yesterday for
that place. During her absence her
sister, Mies Alice Ball, has aseumod her
duties in the 5th grade.
While the Dalles High cchool has
every reason for taking pride in the
energy displayed by her graduates as
they take up their chosen duties, the
course- pursued bv the class of 1900
would seem to be particularly worthy of
commendation. Although young in
years to assume the active duties of life,
feeling that such a course was necessary.
they have, almost without an exception,
bravely started out to practice what most
of the modern graduating essays preach
and to fill the places which are ever open
to those who seek them. Most of the
young ladies have taken chargeof schools
in the surrounding districts, whilo the
voung men are engaged in various kinds
of business. Thus are they attesting
their faith in the truth of their motto,
"Honor waits at labor's gate."
