TUESDAY;- - - - - JAN. 6, 1891
LOCAL BREVITIES.
Mr. Varney reports etrawberriea in
bloesom, a sufficient evidence of Oregon's
equable climate. ,
We noticed a big load of sole leather
being taken to the North Dalles shoe
factory this morning.
Mr. F. H. Stanton and Mr. Ax. Rahm
of Hood River were in the city yesterday.
We acknowledge a pleasant call.
The Board of Trade will meet to-night
lit their rooms in Vogt block. A full
(attendance is . desired as business of
. importance is to be transacted.
We have placed a bulletin board in
our corner window, and will hereafter
give a brief statement of important dis
patches as they arrive.
Nine carloads of cattle from Payette,
Idaho, were fed at the stock-yards last
night and shipped to Troutdale this
morning. ' '
If you want to get the very latest news
" subscribe for the Chronicle, and at the
same time recollect that it is the best
advertising medium in Eastern Oregon.
Hon. Henry Blackman of Heppner ar
rived here last night ' and left by this
morning's passenger for Portland. Mr,
Blackman is one of the few democrats
in the state senate, and having no polit
ical axes to grind will no doubt prove a
valuable member, as he is bright, quick
to catch a point, and energetic in back
jng up anything he undertakes.
The week of prayer promises to be
well attended by the good people of The
Dalles and it is anticipated that the in
terest will become more and more mani
fest as the week goes on. The topic at
the Congregational church for this
evening is "Prayer for individual loyalty
to Christ." First, "Personal care,"
John xx,' 15-17 ; second Corinthians v,
13-21. Second, "Willingness to serve,"
Phil, in, 7-14.
The warm weather which has to a
great extent prevailed all winter cul
minated Monday in a warm sunshiny
" spring-like day. It was beautiful but
dangerous. We hope to see the ther
mometer get down in the twenties and
stay there, as this will be necessary if
we are to have a fruit crop. Another
week or two of warm weather would be
ruinous to the fruit industries, as even
" now the buds are swelling.
Some wretch with no fear of the law,
and no regard for the rights of others,
last night helped himself to a set of
ingle buggy harness belonging to Mr.
Jud Fish. The thief emptied a sack filled
with pitch kindling wood, and evidently
, . utxsd the sack to carry off the harness in.
f . The same fellow probably, stole two
f ""' collars from a teamster at Books & Beers,
I and got away with a whip from, someone
else. From indications the fellow will
have a horse before long, so it is well
' enough to lock the stable doors now.
In growing the best of everything the
farmer lifts himself above the competi
tion that now oppresses him. It is often
said in the professions that there is room
u -at the top, and this rule holds good in
farming as it does in nearly every em
ploymet. Instead of getting out of
farming, condemning the business as
necessarily unprofitable,, a more just
conclusion would be that the best farm
ing like the best of everything else, must
always pay, and the effort should then
be to learn how this may be attained.. "
Jackson Engine Company will give
' a grand masquerade ball at Gymnasium
hall Friday evening January 16th. Par
ticular pains will be taken to prevent
persons of questionable character being
admitted, and those who take part in
the masking can rest assured that they
will meet no one but ladies and gentle
men. Old Jackson Engine company
deserves well of our people and should
be given such a rousing attendance as to
make the boys feel that we appreciate
them. Tickets are now on sale and every
property owner should patronize the
boys and help to keep the company on a
solid financial basis.
The west bound Fast Mail distin
guished itself this morning by giving
birth to a bouncing girl baby, or rather
a woman on the Fast Mail did so. Con
ductor Coleman was in charge of the
1 , train and received an intimation of what
i. was about to happen after the train left
Umatilla. A physician on the train was
summoned, several kind ladies volun
teered their services and the young lady
was ushered into the world as the train
rushed along the bank of the Columbia
at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour.
We suggest that according to the eternal
fitness of things she should be named
-Columbia. Thus again is the wonderful
productiveness of Oregon exemplified,
and the climate given another boom.
. Misfortunes never come' singly, but
they seem to have come with unusual
y. severity on MrFred Rawlins formerly
. train dispatcher here. Just after his
resignation, his " wife dislocated her
ankle, and all three of his bright little
children were taken down with scarlet
fever. Kitty died, " and, owing to the
contagious nature of the disease was fol
lowed to the cemetery by her bereaved
jTarents alone. Zaida and Mellis rallied
, . and were thought out of danger, but
' this morning the sad news reached us
that Mellis, the little boy is dead. Mr,
and Mrs. Rawlins have a host of friends
, . ' here who sympathize deeply with them
in their sad bereavement.
Mr. 1m E.' Crowe went down to Hood
River this morning and will return to
morrow. K- .
Robert Kelley, of Kingsley, is in the
city. He reports everything lovely in
his locality.
Look out for petty thieves. Three
sets of harness have been stolen in the
last week, in the city.
Mr. L. E. Crowe went to Hood River
this morning to attend a meeting of the
Hood River Townsite company, of which
he is president.
Mr. Lowe, the engineer in charge of
the city water- works, has arrived and
will superintend the construction of the
work as it progresses. - "
Dr. William Lee, of High Prairie, who
is an excellent yeterinary surgeon, re
turned home this morning from Pendle
ton where he was called to attend to a
valuable horse.
Mr, Irwin, of Idaho, stopped off at the
stock yards Tuesday with 300 head of
beef cattle, to rest and feed them. They
go to the American Cold Storage Meat
Packing Co. of Portland.
Charley Richmonds team became
frightened while waiting ior a train the
other night and started so run away.
they only got across the street, when
they collided with a big lamp post that
anchored them. No damage except
breaking one of the irons on the end of
the tongue, to which the breast straps
are fastened.
The sneak thief referred to elsewhere
in this issue, ' has been getting in his
work in good shape and is evidently de
sirous of starting a livery stable. Sun
day night he, or some one else, stole a
set of harness from Mr. Wakefield,
another from George Miller and another
from H. C. Neilsen. He also took an
overcoat from Miller's place.
A letter to McFarland & French from
John Days says, "The weather has been
unusually warm, but no rain and no
grass on the range. Feed is plenty in
the shape of hay, and stock doing well
except sheep, which are falling off badly
as they do not seem to do well on any
kind of hay raised there except alfalfa."
The weather at the time of writing, Jan
uary 1st, was threatening, and no doubt,
the last storm visited them. The writer
thinks that section will have quite a
boom in silver mining soon, as there is
an abundance of low grade ore.
A "Ohoat , Dancer, Here." ,
An Indian reported yesterday that
Sunday an Indian arrived on the train
from Dakota, that he had been wounded
severly, and showed the Indians here
his wounds, claiming to have been
killed and brought to life again by the
Indian Messiah ; that he has aroused
considerable excitement among the
Indians here, who are dancing, and that
he 13 trying to instil the Messiah craze
into them and get them to go to war
with the whites. It is not probable the
fellow, if he is here, could induce the
Indians to take any stock in his
statements, but a few such runners
scattered ' among the Shoshones and
Piutes south of us might cause serious
trouble. ' From Sarah Winnemucca's
statement, just such messengers have
been sent among her people, and it may
be possible that the story told by the
Indian here is substantially true.
