LOCAL BREVITIES.
Sheep shearing has just commenced.
C. W. Rice is still slowly improving.
. J. H. McDonough of Portland is in the
city .
K. B. Hood jr. of Goldendale is in
town.
' Mr. W. E Bunnell left for his home

Johnston were in the city today.
The parish meeting of the Congrega
tional church will take place this even
ing.
The King' 8 Daughters will meet at
Mrs. Joles' tomorrow at 2 p. m. A full
meeting is requested.
We regret to hear that Judge Condon
is still very ill at his home in this city
He was reported a little better this
morning.
Two cars of cattle from ' Baker City
destined for the Portland market were
fed at the stock yards yesterday and one
car of work oxen for the Sound today .
Guesses are now in order as to whom
the governor will appoint to succeed
Judge Bird. ' It is expected the mantle
will fall on some Dalles man.
The friends of the Chronicle will be
. pleased to learn that the circulation of
the weekly edition has nearly doubled
within the past two months.
Long Ward solemnly avers that he
remembers the time when schools of
whales used to come up the river in the
spring time and lay their eggs in the
sand back of the Umatilla House.
The team of J. T. Peters started on a
runaway this morning and for a time
went at quite a lively gait. They were,
however soon stopped and no damage
was done.
Wenthworth Lord is putting up a
restaurant building just south of the
passenger depot which is to be occupied
when finished by our enterprising fellow
townsman James White.
A case of contest was on trial today in
the land office between Richard Sigman
and Robert Bradley of Dufur. About
eighty acres of forfeited land in is con
troversy. W. H. Wilson of this city, received a
telegram from Judge Bird last Saturday
informing him that the Judge had sent
in his resignation to the governor. It is
hoped a new judge will be appointed
without delay.
Mr. George Phelps came up from the
Cascade Locks yesterday morning to
spend Sunday in the city. George says
that Vork on the locks is progressing
rapidly, and that if his services are re
tained they will be finished in the next
decade.
Eighteen hundred of mutton sheep
were brought to the Thompson ranch on
Five-mile yesterday. They were pur
chased by Jack Anderson from W. H
Wylie,Duncan MacRea and T. H. Mc
Greer of Antelope, at we were told, ft a
head with the wool on. This is a fine
price, and sheep men should make lots
of money this year at such rates.
The regular monthly meeting of Mt.
Hood Grange was held last Saturday at
the McHealey hall, on Eight mile. A
good attendance was present and some
eight or nine new members were added
to their number. This grange is now in
good working order and has a band of
earnest sef-sacrificing men and women
connected with it. It is doing a good
work and we believe it has a bright
future before it.
When Mr. Michell states that three
' Competent engineers estimated the cost
of piping water from Dog river at $800,
000 he simply states what is utterly false
No engineers competent or otherwise
ever made an estimate in the sums
named or any other sum. Piping water
from Dog river was never contemplated
What Mr. Michell hopes to gain by mak
ing these and other statements wholly
without the shadow of truth we are at a
loss to know. ,
,A. M. Dickey of this city had a nar
. row escape from drowning the other day
while fishing on a little creek that flows
into the Columbia near Bonnyville. Mr.
Dickey was standing on a rock near mid
stream when a trout about 4 inches long
caught into his hook and notwithstand
ing the almost superhuman energy of
' the fisherman the trout succeeded in
fulling Mr. Dickey into the river. Hap
. - pily friends were near at hand who
promptly went to his relief just as the
fish was about to plunge him .. under
water for the third time.
CROPS-WEATHER, BULLETIN, NO. 6.
For Week Ending; Saturday, April 18,
. 1891.
Oregon Weather Bureau,
Central Office,Portland, Oregon. )
REMARKS,
This bulletin in based on reports re
ceived from 163 correspondents. Owing
to the entire difference between western
and eastern Oregon, this bulletin will in
future be divided into two parts, one
will treat entirelv of that section west ol
the Cascades, the other of that section
east of them.
WESTERN OREGON WEATHER. X
The temperature has been from a nor
mal condition in the southern Dart to
three degrees above the normal in the
northern part. The actual temperature
ranging from forty to seventy-five de
grees, snowers occurred on several
days, on the 13th and 16th, thunder ac
companying them. The winds have
been light to Iresb in torce and variable
in direction. No frosts have been re
ported. Cloudy or partially cloudy
weather predominated, with warm,
bright sunshine at intervals.
CROPS.
Marked growth in all vegetation, dur
ing the week has been reported. Fall
wheat has had rapid growth. Early
sown spring wheat is above the ground
and growing remarkably well. Oats are
healthy and equal to wheat in growth.
Spring seeding has been rapidly pushed
and considerable progress has been made.
The acreage has been generally largely
increased. Fruit trees are all blooming
and leafing generally, some bloom is fall
ing. Fruit prospects were never better.
Gardens are coming on. Early sown
seed showing above ground. Straw
berries in bloom and small berries size of
pea formed of the early varieties. Sheep
shearing in progress. Hops are being
trained and growing rapidly.
EASTERN OREGON WEATHER.
The temperature has been about nor
mal. .A few sho-vers fell, but not an
average amount. The weather was gen
erally, partly cloudy .or cloudless with
bright, warm sunshine. A few frosts are
reported south of the Blue mountains.
CROPS.
North of the Blue Mountains spring
is well advanced The ground is becom
ing dry. Fall wheat has a remarkably
good growth, spring grain is all sowed
and most of it is up and growing well.
Grain prospects were never better.
Fruit trees are in full bloom, and trees
are leafing out, berry bushes in full leaf.
The grass is growing well. Farmers are
busy plowing for summer fallow. .Show
ers would prove beneficial, for the sec
tion is very dusty .And ground in fields
is caking on top. South of the Blue
mountains spring is not so far advanced.
The temperature is lower but crops are
doing well. Fruit showing buds and
bloom.
Sheep are in fine condition, shearing
is in progress but will be in full blast
next week. - Lambing Has been remark
ably successful. The increase will be
from 90 to 100 per centum. The range
is good and stock is generally reported
to oe doing well. B. S. Pague.

Baker City Blade: The Chronicle of
The Dalles occasionally -displays good
taste in the selection of its editorial
matter. The Blade never objects to any
newspaper stealing from its columns, for
it occasionally does the act itself.
It is nearly a week ' since we saw the
above in the columns of the Blade and it
so thoroughly amused us that we have
not had time till now to assure our con
temporary that proud as we are of our
"good taste" his remarks are entirely
too flattering. Anything that the Blade
produces is so far above the known ability
of the Chronicle that if stolen for our
use the theft would be detected at once.
No, when we adopt this form of piracy
we shall steal from some one near our
own size. The Blade is mistaken. The
Chronicle is young and tender and has
not yet fallen into the ways of such
papers as the Blade, which would steal
and then own up to it.' '
What Will Yon Pay.
Priipville News.
There is some local discussion among
wool growers in this part of the country
as to whether The Dalles will pay as
much lor that product this vear as Al
bany and Brownsville will pay. The
Valley towns mentioned paid better
prices tor jrook county wool last year
than could be secured from buyers in
The Dalles, and on that account several
large clips were hauled over the Cescade
mountains. The whyfore of this fact
has not been explained, and we are un
able to understand why it should have
been the case at all. One thine is cer
tain, and that is if our growers can do
enough better this year to make it pay
them to haul their wool over the moun
tains to the Willamette valley, many of
them will do so, regardless of the differ
ence in roads. The difference in dis
tance is not material. However, The
Dalles is our natural market, and this
matter lies entirely in the hands of that
city's wool buyers thiH year.

A representative of the Chronicle
took a trip last Saturday out as far as the
Tygh ridge country. Fall grain was
noticed everywhere as being in fine con
dition. The season is backward and in
the higher regions the grass has made
but little growth. Seeding is well
through, and will be practically ended
this week. Young grain where it is
above the ground looks a good, healthy
color. A larger area than usual will be
turned under for summer fallow. The
ground is now so dry on top that fears
are entertained that late sown grain may
notsprout without rain, but if it rains
any time during this month, these fears
. will be dissipated.
Frazier and Hitchcock the contractors
left the city this morning for Portland,
taking their outfit with them. .
An Eastern Oregon Hen.
A. J. Wall has a hen that lays her
own weight in eggs every . twelve days.
She is of the game bantam variety and
weighs exactly one pound and twelve of
her eggs are just the same weight. Wall
has a game rooster of the same variety
that weighs one pound and a quarter,
that was affording lots of fun for a small
crowd of Dalles folks as the writer was
passing his place a couple of days ago.
He had turned the ittle bantam into a
lot with a big Partridge Cochin rooster
weighing fourteen pounds and looking
as big as a turkey gobbler. The little
bantam flew at the big rooster and
knocked him over at every lick. Three
or four licks satisfied the Cochin, when
he started on the run, amid the roars of
the onlookers. Wall claims to have the
finest calf in America of its years. He
weighed 680 pounds when he was six
months old, and had no special care.
and only half of his mother's milk. He
is now one year and three' weeks old and
is believed to weigh not far from 1100
pounds. He was- sired by Mr. P.' 'T.'

World's fair Laborers Kick.
Chicago, April 18. Laborers at- the
world's fair ground will hold a meeting
tomorrow, and unless matters are ad-
i usted a strike will probably occur soon.
They assert that the contractors in
charge have not kept faith with them in
regard to pay. There . are also other
grievances. They complain that the
quarters provided for them on the
grounds are unfit for swine.
Governor Ferry Expected to Arrive
Home Next Thursday.
Olympia, April 18. Governor Laugh-
ton left this morning for Montesano.
He has received a dispatch that Gov
ernor Ferry and family will return home
on April 23, and will probably - occupy
the residence of the late Captain
Percival, which is one of the most sightly
in the city.
A HOLY PLACE IS THE HEARTHSTONE.
A holy place la the hearthstone.
Where loved ones are gathered round.
When mothers, sires and sisters dear
And brothers and friends are found.
A holy place is the hearthstone.
Home's innermost shrine is there,
Tn with blessed benison
And hallowed by loving prayer.
A holy place is the hearthstone;
What clustering Joys abide
Where the cradle of oar infancy
Was rocked by a mother's side.
A holy place is the hearthstone.
Where childhood's pattering; feet
Go glancing in shade and sunshine
To the music of pleasure's beat.
A holy place is the hearthstone.
Where the youth have wooed and won.
And wed and gone to the battle
Of life with full armor on.
A holy place is the hearthstone,
Where manhood has settled down
With blessings blossoming- round him.
And love for a priceless crown.
A holy placets the hearthstone,
Whence the old-and young have gone
To rest from their weary labor
When the battle of life was done.
And oh, from the holy hearthstone.
When parted from those we love.
Hay we go to meet by the hearthstone
Of oar Father's house above!

A Cornish Custom.
Of the more modern and wholly quaint
and innocent customs of Cornwall a few
pleasant illustrations may be cited. The
fish wives of ancient St. Ives are an in
corrigible lot. Should you visit the town
at the height of pilchard fishing, and en
ter the dark cellars where hundreds of
women and girls are engaged in "bulk
ing," or salting, the fish. scores of grin
ning Amazons will rush at you, and the
fleetest one will daub your shoes gener
ously with the odorous fish oil which
has drained from the piles of curing fish.
This is called "wiping the shoe," and if
you do not respond with . tribute of at
least a half crown for luck of the "fair
maids that feed and clothe the poor"
that is, the pilchard fishes your 'subse
quent "hustling" by these savory
wenches will certainly cost you a new
suit of clothing. The same custom, save
that the daubing is done with "miner's
clay," prevails within the mines, where
the stranger is expected to pay some
thing for his initiation into their mys
teries. Edgar . L. Wakeman in New
York Sun.
The Barber Was Beady.
An old veteran told this as happening'
at savannah during the war:
A young officer, who was pretty much
of a bully, stopped in at a tnsorial sa
loon. Drawing his sword he ordered
the barber to shave him, at the same
time warning him that if he cut his face
or drew a drop of blood he would kill
him when he got up. The operation was
performed without accident. Before he
went out, however, the bully asked the
artist if he was not very much fright
ened while he was doing the work. -The
barber smiled.
"Not in the slightest," he replied:
"for if I had accidentally drawn a drop
of blood I would have cut your throat
from ear to ear before you could have
moved. Atlanta Constitution.
Weight of French Money.
A Frenchman, who evidently revels in
handling large sums of money, has com
piled some entertaining statistics with
regard to the weight of a milliard of the
French coin of the realm. According to
him a milliard in silver weighs 10,000,000
pounds; in gold, 645,160 pounds; in 1,000
franc checks, 2,560 pounds, and in 100
franc checks, 23,000 pounds. Assuming
mar, a carrier could, carry two hundred
weight, 18 men would be required to
carry a milliard in 1,000 franc checks,
115 men f6r the same sum in 100 franc
checks, 8,225 men in gold and 50,000 in
silver. A milliard in 1,000 franc checks
wduld make 2,000 volumes of 500 pages
each. Boston Herald. -
