he city.
The Hon. E. O. McCoy, of Grants, is
in the city.
T. H. Johnston, of Dufur, is registered
at the Umatilla Hause.
Mr. Kufus Wallace of Rufun, Sherman
. fount, gave us a pleasant call today.
B. S. Huntington is attending court at
Ooldendale. He is expected home today .
Everyt thing quiet today, at the East
end of town, and nothing is doing at the
stock yards. ,
. Withii 'the last few days the price of
wheat has raised in Walla Walla. It is
now selling at sixty-three cents a bushel.
The young lady compositors of the
Chronicle office, very cordially thank
Mr. David Garrison for a beautiful bo-
quet of spring flowers. V ' '
The regular 4 :30 a..' m. .' west bound
passenger will have to rustle to get to
Portland on time. She is due here to
night at seven o'clock only ten hours
late.
The frieght train that left the Cascade
a little after noon yesterday carrying the
prisoner Parr ' in. charge, of constable
Knightly, made remarkable time about
foujr "miles an.hour, getting here about
eleven o'clock last night.
A gang' of fourteen .men are engaged;
on Bridge street, near Ninth, breaking
tip the pile .'of rock, some time ago taken
. out of the intersection of these two streets.
The. broken rock will be ground up' and
used for making concrete for the new j
reservoir in the pines.
The Shasta Courier says : A Shasta
vounty man has posted up this remarka
ble sign: "For sale: A Jersey cow to
ome man who Will have a calf in the
the spring at a Bargain." The quiet
solemn people np that way are anxiously
waiting to see the customer. One of the
lders said he would give the contents of
the contribution box for the next six
weeks to see the man who is going to
have a calf .this spring.
The man Thompson, who is charged
with being an accessory in the shooting
scrape, at the Cascades, is out on bail.
His bondsmen are J. . T. Peters of this
citv and Mr. Frizzell of the Locks. Parr
has been committed to the county jail,
without bail, a wafting the results of Mc
Oormack'8 injuries. McCormack is still
very low and his life hangs on in the
. balance, with the chances very much
against him.
Mr. Charles Schmidt of the Wasco
wareliousereports that while little bus
iness is being transacted there.: the wool
. men are already making inquiries aboul
the prospects of t prices for the coming
clip. Ia answer to the question,' what
isrthe outlook? . Mr. ; Schmidt .replied
thai the' prospects for good prices and
good times, all round, were " never
brighter. .'
Captain Donovan has just . returned
from a trip to - Canada and . the east.
He visited New Brunswick where he
foriui five feeofj snow, and everything
frozen up. He says the people here
have no idea of the coldness one ; meets
on such a trip. He came back by the
Northern Pacific and describes the trip,
part of the way,' like running a train
through a narrow street, from the im.-.
tnence piles of snow on each side of ' the
. track. He was exceedingly happv . to
jjet back to The' Dalles and thinkB there
is no place like it.
The Chronicle reporter was shown
this morning some very neat and beau
tiful oil paintings, by Miss Maggie Larsen
daughter of J. H. Larsen of this city.
. Miss Larsen is a pupil of the . Sister's
. Academy in this city, and her work re-
fleets great credit upon herself as' well
as hex instructors. The subject of her
sketches are Mt. Tamalpaise, from Hip
Ross ' valley, California,, the' . Falls . of
' Minnehaha, Mt: -Hood,' scenes on the
' bCT! river, and others. r. A little
'pictureTjf pansy blossoms, struck our
special fancy. It displays the handy
work of an accomplished artist. Miss
arsen expects to graduate next June.

Highland Orange Puses Resolutions" on
the Death of a Brother.
' i r l' ' ' ' '
Whereas, It hath leased the- Al
mighty disposer of events, : to remove
ffon our midst, on jlthe ; third day of
February, 1891, Brother H. M. Baxter,
now, therefore
Resolved, By Highland Grange No.
206 of which he was master for a time,
and served with honor to himself and
the grange, he was honored, beloved, and
respected by all the members thereof.
He. .was nbtecl for his jmifprmly courteous
treatment of all in his presence, firm in
maintaining his convictions of what , he
deemed right or wrong, he freely ex
pressed them on all .proper - occasions,
yet ever treated '" those who differed
with him, with all due courtesy and. re-,
spect. His mind was of no ordinary
mold. He possessed the , faculty of ex
pressing his views lucidly and forcibly,
on any matter he thought proper sub
ject for consideration. As a member of
Highland Grange he was a bright and
faithful member, and will long be missed
from its councils.
Resolved, That our charter be draped
in mourning sixty days and that a copy
of these resolutions be furnished -for
publication to The Dalles Chronicle
and the Wasco County Sun and that a
copy be sent to the family of the
deceased, and also that these resolutions
be made a part of the minutes of High
land Grange.
By order of committee.

WORKING FOR AS OPEN RIVER.
Resolutions . .Passed . by the - Portland
Chamber of Commerce.
Portland,. March 9. At a meeting of
the chamber of commerce tonight the
following resolutions were adopted :
"Whereas, the state legislature at its
last session failed to pass any law that
would insure the opening of the Colum
bia river from Celiio to The Dalles, and
"Whereas, believing it to be of para
mount interest not only to the retention
of the commercial supremacy of Portland
as the metropolis of the state, but to the
interest of the entire state of Oregon as
well, and of equal interest to those sec
tions of Washington and Idaho that bor
der upon the great waterways, the Col
umbia and Snake rivers, therefore be it
'; "Resolved, -That a special' committee of
twelve be appointed for the purpose of
consultation and conference with repre
sentatives of these sections pi. the . states
which would be most quickly and pei
manently benefitted by . the opening of
the river, with the object of ascertaining
if some method cannot be devised for the
speedy and permanent opening -of the
river traffic of the Columbia and its tribu
tarv streams." .

More About the Shooting; affray Easton
Brought Back Interesting; Develop-
menU.
East Oregoniun.
The true-facts of the shooting scrape
which occurred Friday' night are about
to be developed. , Easton, -the porter
who was set upon, was brought from
Portland this morning and his examina
tion continued until tomorrow, at l p. m.
Foreman Lindsey, of the round-house,
Engineer Ruhnke and Mr. English, air
brake instructor, for - the .Union Pacific,
were placed under arrest this afternoon,
and immediately gave bonds for their
appearance - tomorrow. ; Ruhnke and
English, instead "of the tramp, were the
two men, it is alleged, who tackled
Easton; and were, driven away by his
shooting, and Lindsay, the man' who
shot at and chased him afterwar J. It
appears that on account of an insult a job
was put up by. Lindsay and his friends
to scare the porter and drive him out of
the country. They had probably not
reckoned on his having a pistol.
Boat Building; In The Dalles.
Mr. Alfred Kennedy and his eon
Arthur are building in the yard of Mr.
Kennedys residence on Ninth . .St.',. a
small steamer for plying between . this
city tand the'j Cascade Locks.: H.er : ex
treme length will be 45 feet with 12 foot
beam over all--and a carrying capacity
of ten tons. She will be equipped with
accommodations for passenger as well as
freight traffic.' The keel, knees or ribs
stem and stempost are in position giving
one a good idea of her shape and general
appearance. ,. She is to be propelled by a
screw operated by sufficient .'powerful
engineers to enable her to do her work
well. A little further west, on the same
street at the shipyard of Mr. W. J. Jef
fersj a beautiful canoe is receiving her
finishing'touches.' She' is built upon the
Clide model, stem, stern and ribs all of
New York elm, imported 'for this pur
pose. The planking is a quarter inch
fine, lapsteak and copper rivited. She
is 16 feet long, 314 inches wide, with a
depth from the hatch-combing of 12 to
14 inches, and will be rigged with a
lateen sail of the latest : and most ap
proved cut."' Her mounting for rudder
etc., are nickle-plated. Her lines are
very fine, and the -s hole piece of work
we venture to say cannot be surpassed,
if equaled, in any shipyard on the coast.
Both jobs are highly creditable.' Most
people locate their ship buildingj indus
tries at the water's edge, but ' these gen
tlemen prefer to build beneath .the drip
of their own eaves, within easy sound
of the dinner bell. It is a plain case of
the mountain coming to Mahomet.
A Construction Company in Financial
. Straits. .
Marion, Ga., March 11. Application
for a receiver for the Marion Construc
tion company, engaged in building the
railroad and one of the largest concerns
in the south, was filed by John McTighe
& Co. Two liens have been filed, one
for $290,000 the other for $99,600. It is
believed that the embarrassment is only
temporary.' - . . . .'

'BOTH, KEEP YOITR RECORD
CLEAN."
Last words Of John B. Cough.
- CARR1B B. WAITON. .
"Boys, keep your record clean." . .
The lips of the speaker are mute.
But hia words are still warning the boys
To stop in their mad pursuit;, i a
To stop, I say, in their mad pursuit
Of wealth and honor and fume.
To think pf the devious winding ways
By which they shall reach the same.
"Boys, keep your record clean, "
Your lips unstained by sin,
Your lips as the lilies are, .-
And a heart as pure withiu.
Fair as the virgin mow,
Spotless anfl undented, .
Though around you the world is bright,
Or the pitiless storms beat wild.
As you go out into the world.
Go with a purpose true,
Uo with a sturdy, resolute will : '
Be one of the manly few.
Ever do that wbiclr is right,
Scorn to do that which is mean, ,,
And as you go through peace and strife,
"Boys, keep your record clean."
Protect the Home.
"A man's house is his castle." Safety
in our homes is of first . importance.
Right character is the result of correct
home training. ' '
The stability of the state demands it.
The old Spartans claimed the children
for the state and trained them at national
expense. :-
Good foundations of character are laid
very near the cradle.
Educators are waking up to the im-.
portance of Kintergarten work.
Musicians begin practice early in life.
Glass blowers will only teach their dif
ficult trade to those who have been ac
customed to handle glass from their
earliest childhood.
Temptation to evil comes down on our
young people like an out-sweeping tide,
or a Johnstown flood.
The most delicate and precious of ma
terials are in our homes. The minds
and hearts of little children. - ,
Our people respect laws and proper
authority. Laws are like a breakwater
to protect our shores.. Those Who .make.
and enforce good laws are the 'protectors
of our homes. Our homes are. invaded. ,
None can be excused from defense. All
good men and women must help defend
those who are impoverished, disgraced,
widowed, orphaned and crazed through
strong drink with the ;
"Weapon that Is keener set
And- sharper than a bayonet:
A weapon that comes down as still
As suowilakes rest upon the sod,
But executes the freeman's will, A
As lightning does the will of God."

In an address delivered at Indianapo
lis December 30th,' Mrs. Gougar, said
she had been keeping a death-book since
January-1, 1889, in which she had noted
the deaths of women killed by drunken
husbands., She had recorded these
deaths as she had read them in the daily
papers. She had asked the audience to
guess the number. One hundred, fifty,
three hundred, four hundred were ven
tured. - Three thousand and - four was
the number announced to the startled
assembly. How long, O Lord! how
long! "
A Great Lady. .
A great lady, in two senses, is Mrs.
Villard (Miss Garrison, of Boston), who
is now residing in Berlin. She was in
vited recently to assist in the fair for the
charitable foundation patronized by the
crown princess of Prussia; and was asked
to fill the part of a barmaid. There are
numerous shining examples of Ameri
cans in London having been "cast" for
such a part in that city, for the sale of
"American drinks" so called-- Mrs, Vil
lard, being on sufficiently friendly terms
with the crown princess to state ner ob
jections, .did so, and declined to assist in
such an occupation, even for- charity's
sake. It is said that, an - apology was
made to her, but for that we do not
vouch. She afterwards took her place
in the fair at a buffet, where there was
nothing objectionable in the Bervice,
and it was noticed that the crown prince
and princess were ' frequent 'patrons at
her table.' . How many "spoiled Ameri-.
cans" there are who would have been so
nattered at the request of royalty or so

Mrs. Villard has set the fashion of de
clining to be barmaid either - in the
American or English line of business.
TJie Christian Woman. ,
Mrs. Villard, who is a daughter of the
celebrated philanthropist, William Loyd
Garrison, is very kindly remembered by
the members of the W. C. T. U. because
she donated one hundred dollars to the
free reading room of The Dalles.
Bob Burdett has said, "Speaking of
the old Puritan Sabbath, as it was ob
served ift his younger days, Oliver Wen
dell Holmes says v 'I have never got over
the saddening effects of this early discip
line. Indeed I have hardly recovered
from it to this day.'. , .
If the stern old'Puritan Sabbath, with
its subduing; saddening effects, wrought
out such joyous natures as Beecher's
and gave to the world such a beautiful
blending of ' tenderness and strength,
laughter and tears, heart-deep cathos
and sunny humor as Oliver Wendell
Holmes, let us have another century of
Puritan Sabbath. '
Up to date the Sunday of the beer gar
den nas failed to bring forth a Holmes
or a Beecher, It has evolved a Johann
Most and an Dgust Spies, but somehow
that sort of product doesn't seem to be
up to the old Puritan mark of today,
then heaven save the marks. .
When you run up the bunting, remem
ber that it was the steady going old Puri
tan Sabbath that hatched te Fourth of
July. The. day we celebrate, dearly be
loved was not born in a Chicago beer
dive on a Sunday afternoon." Patriot. I
