LOCAL BREVITIES.
IE W. Henricks, the assessor of Sherman
county is in the city.
A mixed car of hogs and cattle was
shipped from the stock yards this morn
ing. Drivers Bros., of Wamic, have sold 50
head of cattle to W. H. Davie of Wapi
nitia. Mr. Roberson is about ' to sell his
housahold effects and remove to San
Diego, California.
Max Bland is building a brick oven for
heating wagon tires, for Pyette & Friend
blacksmiths at the East End.
Jim Grey, of Wapinitia, and well
known in this county, is reported to be
very sick at his home near White river.
At the Wasco warehouse today they
are offering 62 cents a busbel for wheat
and 60 cents at the Z. F. Moody ware
house. ohn Roth of Kingsley drove into
town, this morning, about twenty head
of beef cattle. They are at the stock
yards.
In laying out county roads the county'
assessor, and not the county court, shall
have the appointment of the surveyors
to do the work.
We have just as good a country as
there is on earth and some day the
world will find it out and then you'll
see a rush to these parts.
An American citizen of African des
cent is erecting a boot black stand next
to Neilsen's store on Second and Wash
ington streets. The structure is quite
portentious.
Mr. Thompson is erecting a new store
on Second and Madison streets near the
Diamond roller mills. It will be a hand
some structure when finished and will
be used for a fancy goods store.
The Chbonicle .has stopped buying
concentrated lye to wash its type with.
It just drops a copy of the Times-Mountaineer
in the jar and the lie is so strong
as to need considerable reducing before
being fit for use.
There are lots of good thing and good
people in tfee world if we only try to
find them. The man who is constantly
nnuing luiui wjwi everyimug anu every
body is either a fool or a knave, mostly
both.
Just think of it, cabbage all the way
from California on sale at the new store
. of Barnett & Rice, at three cents a
pound. One would have thought the
farmers around The Dalles should raise
enough vegetables to at least supply the
home market, but it seems they don't.
Kansas and Nebraska must be rapidly
decreasing in population. Emigrants
from these states are constantly arriving
in this country. One has bought the
Huott ranch on Eight Mile, who intends
to improve it and utilize the water pow
er ; another has gone out today towards
Dufur to find himself a home.
We have been requested by some ac
? , i r . " l i
tive members of the fire department to
call attention to the fact that the city
ordinance provides that a fine of not less
than five dollars nor more than fifty
shall be imposed upon .any person who
knowingly rings out a false fire alarm.
A 'word to the wise is sufficient.
A meeting of the Guitar Club was
lately held'at the house of Miss Rowland,
when the leader Mr. C. W. Mason was
presented with a handsome mandoline,
by the members of the club, after which
refreshments were served and the club
seperated after having enjoyed a very
pleasant time.
David Graham is the agent for Wasco,
. Sherman and Crook counties for a work
that oucrht to be in the hands of nverv
laboring man who is able to read. Its
title jfS Ancient Lowly" being a history
of f V ucient working people. It has
met the highest' endorsement of
master workman Powderly, of the
knights of labor, and is a work of im
mense interest and information.
Y i We had the pleasure of meeting, last
- evening James Smith Esq. and wife, and
Dr. Doran and wife, of Mt. Vernon, Iowa.
' The party have been out on a tramp for
the past four months, coming to the
coast by one of the Southern routes, and
visiting through California and Oregon
in a general way. The trip has been one
of much enjoyment, and has revealed to
them the vastness and wonderful Pacific
Coast. Oregon has its merited praise,
and on their return to their home, its
wondrous resources will be made known
to our Iowa friends. .
Mrs. Dunham's Dreadful I.oss.
. The youngest child of the late C. E.
Dunham died this morning. Mrs. Dun
ham is bo much better that her complete
recovery is anticipated. The news of
her dreadful loss was gently broken to
her this morning and she bore up under
it better than was expected. The hearts
of this community bleed for her. It sel
dom falls to the lot of a newspaper to
chronicle anything more distressingly
sad than that of this husband and child
so suddenly snatched away while the
mother was herself so low that she knew
it not. May the God of the widow com
fort her. - "'
' Funeral Notice.
A special- communication of Wasco
Lodge No. 15,-" A. F. & A. M. will be held
at Masottic Hall in this city on - Sunday,
March 29tli891 at 1 o'clock p. m. sharp,
for the purpose ofTattending the funeral
of our late brother Charles E.v Dunham,
which will take place from the Congre
gational Church' at 2 o'clock. A full
attendance of members and visiting
brethren is specially requested. By or
der of the W. M.
O, D. Doaxk, Secretary.
Building and Loan Association To Be
Organized.
Messrs. H. O. Harris and V. A.,
Stewart, general agents for the North
west of the Columbia Building and Loan
Association of Denver, arrived in the
city Tuesday, for the purpose of organiz
ing a local board in this city. The
Columbia is organized upon the latest
approved plan and is said by those who
have taken pains to find out, to be one
of the best association of its kind in the
United States. Such an organization is
a benefit to any city where it is sucess
fully maintained and we are glad to see
our business men taking hold of it in
earnest. A meeting of the stock -holders
has been called at the county court room
this evening at 7 :30 o'clock for the pur
pose of organizing, the local board and
all who would like to understand the
workings and benefits of a building and
loan association are invited to be present
and ask questions about anything they
do not understand.
Emigrants Passing Through.
A small party of emigrants arrived at
this city today bound for Spokane Falls.
They come from Tacoma. They have
two prairie schooners, two '- hacks,
twelve to fourteen teams of horses and
mules, fifteen railroad scrapers and a
general outfit of bedding and household
goods. They are disgusted with a
country where it rains six to eight
months in the year, where there is no
work for their teams during the wet
season and where hay is $22 a ton.
They assured us each of their horses
and mules had eaten his head off during
the past winter. They follow railroad
contracting and similar work.
Milk Functions of the Cow.
Dr. A. H. Baker, of the Chicago
Veterinary college recently said: "You
can not expect a cow with a small sized
udder to be a heavy milker, or vice
versa. The best ' results are obtained
from those whose parents were of the
best quality. You can breed a milker
just as certain as you can a trotter. It
is reasonable that heat-producing food
does not make milk. You must have
water plenty, easy of access and reason
ably pure. Nothing will dry up a cow
like lack of water." He explained the
effect of the act of milking on the
animal economy. "The natural excita
tion caused by handling the udder is
profitable," he said, "but the unnatural,
from . blows or abuse, is not. While
holding up the milk no secretion goes
on; the holding up is voluntary, as the
cow has it under her control. Severe
exposure to hot sun and to cold storms is
an injury, as it dries up the cow. The
oftener milk is drawn the larger the
flow ; a calf running with the cow sucks
often, nnd the flow is increased, and the
cow grows poor under it."
From a syndicate article on "Lazy Sen
ators" that appeared last week in many
eastern papers, the following regarding
one of Oregon's representatives in the
"upper house" is taken. Senator
Mitchell is a very hard working man.
He seldom listens to the debates, but
reads them all as a means of saving time.
He sits next to Senator Plumb and fur
nishes a marked contrast to him. Plumb
is boisterouslv busy all the time, while
Senator Mitchell site quietly boning in,
always reading or writing when at his
desk' I have never seen Senator Mitchell
in an idling attitude at his desk and he
never stops, as many do, to chat with
other senators. He appears to settle all
questions for himself, and to live upon
hard work. '
Is Jay Gould going to try the same
game out here that he has so successfully
worked everywhere that he has got his
fins in? It is reported now that . he is
going to throw up the O. R. & N. lease,
the presumption being that he will
wreck the company and gather it in at
squeezed rates. He has a precedent in
Henry Villard's action as to the Oregon-
lan lease. The Astortan does not view
such action with dismay. Any change
would be good, and if the U. P". were to
let eo their present cinch on the Colum
bia river it would not cause much grief
in this latitude. Astonan.
From San Francisco comes the sur
prising information this year "The
standard of Alaska salmon is to be
raised to thai of the Columbia river."
This is important if true, but the alleged
fact has not been generally found out. It
will take a bigger "raise" than Alaska
can accomplish to emulate the standard
of quality of the Columbia river spring
salmon. Astorian.
Inasmuch as the net earnings of the
U. P. Co. were nearly $1,000,000 during
the month of January it is strange it
can't afford to improve its road-bed be
tween here and The Dalles and add a
few more locomotives to its rolling stock
in this division. It is 'very evident this
transportation pirate is "out for the
stuff,'' no matter who suffers. Welcome.
Mrs. J. Baldwin and sister, Miss Ida
C. Fritz, are visiting friends in Portland.
- - President Carnot Deecrated.
Paris, March 26. Baron Democren
ham, Russian ambasador, formally pre
sented president Carnot with a grand
cordon of the order of St. Andrew the
imperial decoration which the czar by
decree recently conferred upon the presi
dent of the French republic as a token
it is supposed, of the conclusion of of
fensive and defensive allianc entered
into between Russia and France.
The Great Strike Breaking Up.
' Pittsburg, March , 26. A break has
occurred in the Connellsville coke strike
by several large mines resuming work
today. The resumption is at 10 per
cent, reduction of, wages.
He.r Verse f Scripture.. -
"i Iwi8town Journal.
At one of the teachers' institutes held
a few days ago in. Maine a rule was in
force that whoever entered the morning
session late should pause at the door and
recite a passage ot scripture, a quotation
from some poet, or other expression of
an idea for the edification of those pres
ent at the session. There was present
at the session a plain little old maid
("unappropriated blessings," I believe
they call them now,) who was continu
ally saying and ' doing inappropriate
things. It seemed to come natural to
her. She was late one morning, was
this "unappropriate blessing," and elec
trified those within by remarking
sauvely : "I love those that love me,
and those that seek me early shall find
me."
Titled Slwashes Married.
The Prince of Wales, eldest son of the
late Duke of York, head chief of the
Clallam tribe of Indians, and Princess
Bessie Jackson, of the royal house of
Clallam,, were married here today. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. Myron
Eells, of "the Skokomish reservation, in
the office of Judge James G. Swan. The
Prince of Wales brought over a fine lot
of fish this morning from Scow bay,
which he disposed of at uch remunera
tive rates that he felt very happv at the
marriage ceremony. Queen Victoria,
mother ot the groom, was expected to be
present at the ceremony, but she was
busy digging clams And could not
attend. Ex. ...
The Best Cough Medicine.
"One of my customers came in today
and asked for the best cough medicine I
had," say Lew Young, a prominent drug-
f'st of Newman Grove, Neb. "Of course
showed him Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and he did not ask to see any
other. I have never yet sold a medicine
that would loosen and relieve a severe
cold so quickly as that does. I have sold
four dozen of it within the last sixty days
and do not know of a single - case where
it failed to give the mos perfect satisfac
tion." Fifty cent bottles for sale by
Snipes & Kinersly, druggists.

Good chance for a live man to make
money.
First and Last.
The increasing prevalence of the scien
tific spirit, with its passion for exact
statement, makes it mora and more nec
essary for men to say precisely what they
mean and nothing else.
"What is your last name, my little
man?" asked the new teacher.
"Tommy," answered the boy.
"Indeed! What is your full name?''
"Tommy Jones." .
"Then Jones is your last name."
"No, ma'am, excuse me. When I was
born my name was Jones, and they
didn't give me the other for more than a
month " Youth's Companion.
Bort.
A firm in this city imports large quan
tities of bort. "I did not know until a
few weeks ago," said an official of the
custom house, "what bort is. Bort is
the small fragments removed frcm dia
monds in catting. When too small for
jewelry it is used for powder. The
sparkling powder is often sprinkled on
the heads of society belles, and their hair
sends forth sparks as from a thousand
miniature diamonds. . Edison uses a
great deal of bort in the manufacture of
phonographs." New York World.

An Kleetrle Alarm dock. .
An ordinary dock is electrically oon
aected with the cell bell, which, when it
once starts off, does not stop ringing un
til the circuit is broken. As tins can
only be accomplished by one's getting
out of bed, the chances for the appa
ratus to accomplish its Tniwrion are ex
cellent. A great advantage this inven
tion possesses over the common alarm
clock is that the alarm does not require
any winding to set it, but is always
ready to perform its work at the appoint
ed hour. Boston Transcript.
