We regret to learn that Mrs. 'M.
Blasen and Mrs. Ralph Gibons are quite
ill.
Mrs. C. C. Drew, who has been suffer

The friends of Mr. Earn ft the choris

regret to learn that he lost his chest of
tools by the planing mill fire.
Col. Bob. Ingersol is seriously with
la grippe in New York. He begins to
think that place he talks so much of is
not abolished yet.
1 We regret to hear that Stock Inspector
Rice has suffered a relapse and is again
quite feeble from the same old trouble,
inflamatory rheumatism.
County Assessor Barnett is in the city.
He has finished the country across the
Deschutes and leaves tonight for Ilep
pner to attend a convention of Eastern
Oregon assessors.
'Messrs. L." D. Ainsworth and Ed
.William went down to Hood ' River yes
terday taking with' them their bicycles
to have an outing in the embryo vcity of
the mountains and returned last eve'.'
The boquet of white flowers composed
of the bridal wreath and other symbols f
of Hyman which will interest some one
at the engine house is of significance and '
probably tomorrow, if hot before, the !
revelation will be made.
Tive irrigation companies were organ
ized inside of two weeks at Pendleton. It
will nbt be man v years before that entire
section -is a vast garden, and the days
when' it would 'prdddee nothing' but1
bunchgrass and sagebrush will ,. be a
mem'ory only. '" -
Miss Linnie ' Kesler" arrived' Saturday
from California and is visiting her uncle,
C. L. Phillips, and will, with her sister,
open a first class dressmaking - shop ' in
the Shackelford building next door" to
John Booth.
There'may be some real foundation
for tne. rumor that work will Boon be re
sumed on the. extension of thei Oregon
Pacific railroad, and that no recess will
betaken until) the line has been com
pleted to the Deschutes river in this
county. At any, rate we hope the rumor
is well founded. Prineville News..
George E'. Moore, of Bake Oven comes
in with the finest load of potatoes we have
ever seen in any country. He raised
them on his place' and says it is the first
load of farm prodacts ever marketed here
raised in that country. He thinks as soon
as the railroad, in contemplation is built
that the products of that locality will be
a big item of traffic to The Dalles.
A sliitht error was made in Saturday's
Chronicle, whereby a meek arid gentle
animal of the horse persuasion, - the
property of Mr. J. P. Mclnerny was
blamed for doing something he never
was known to be guilty of in his life,
namely, 'kick a young lady." It -was
another horse altogether. ;
B, F. and L. C. Kelsy, of Kent, locat
ed in the grazing section of Sherman
county, are in , town. They are large
sheep raisers and report fine aucceBs irt
their 'business the past; season," having
raised a lamb for every yew they have.
They only lost through the winter' 17
head out of 5,000. They report fine
prospects for crops if the 'season should
continue favorable? ' ' t
Mr; S."B.'. Adams has just returned
from a trip to Sherman county and gives
very flattering reports of the crop pros
pects; , He Bays that never in his thirty
years"experierice in this section of the
country has he seen anything to equal
it. Thousands upon thousands of acres1
of wheat has been put in and as far as
the eye can reach, the fields stretch out
in onegreen mass of beautiful verdure.
The farmers are ' happy for they ' have
never had so'promising an outlook.: '

HOOD RIVER.
Some Observation on the Heautlful
ViHaa-e by. the Chronicle Man.
The beautiful town of Hood River is
now blooming 'out in all the charms of
verdant' foliage and 'fragrant blossom.
On every hand are evidences of growth
and material advancement. More prop
erty is changing hands at this point than
in all the rest of Wasco county put to
gether. ' Buildings of handsome archi
tecture and substantial structure are
everywhere in course of erection. Two
new church buildings nearfng ' comple
tion are models of beauty and good taste.
The Mount Hood Hotel is being entirely
overhauled and its capacity increased by
the addition of eleven new rooms. AVhen
the work is finished mine host George
Herbert will have as fine a country ho
tel as can be found. ' ; .
By the way Ceorge took possession of
the hostlery on May eve. It is simply
wonderful to see how jiatural he looks in
an immaculate white apron and linen
jacket. It is the same old George and
yet not the same. He seems as handy
at serving a dish of hash as he was in
jugging an incorrigible or collecting a
delinquent tax. We" noticed that his
apron was not of sufficient superficial
area to quite cover his western extrem
ities but learned that it was temporarily
borrowed from his slim cook, while a
new one is course of construction by a
local architect. George is going to do
well here just as sure as you live. We
have ample proof that he has got a fine
cook, and when it is said that Mrs. Her
bert will superintend the rooms, it will
not be necessary to add that cleanliness
and comfort are assured. We- predict
that the Mount Hood Hotel, will be a
popular place of resort during the com
ing summer.
A kind word ought to be said to Rob
ert Rand the outgoing landlord. No
kinder or more obliging landlord ever
ran a hotel. We have known him, with
wonderful patience, to ' nurse guests
through tedious and emerging sickness
only to be repaid by the base ingrati
tude of an unsettled hotel bill. Under
his management the house was remark
able for its quiet and orderly manage
ment, notwithstanding it was generally
over crowded with ' guests. Mr. Rand
and his family will still reside in Hood
River where he has valuable and renu'm
erative interests, 'and a host of warm
and attached friends'. - ' -' ' ! ' " " ':

Flawing Mills by Fire.
The sleepers or our city "'were1' aroused
at 3 o'clock Sunday morning by the
alarm of fire, and turned out by the
hundreds o wend their ' way" up the
bluffs, back of the electric light plant to
where was seen - the building of The
Dalles Lumbering Co.'s planing mill in
one solid sbeet of flames. The whole
structure was ablaze and the firemen
who were promptly on hand could do
nothing towards putting it out. In an
indescribable short time the building
was entirely consumed and proved a
total loss. Thev machinery was all de
stroyed and apparently nothing can be
saved. The total loss will be somewhere
between twelve and fifteen thousand
dollars There was an insurance of
three thousand dollars on the mill.
The planing mill is one of the neces
sities of The Dalles and we should be
glad to be able to state that it would be
rebuilt, but as yet no decision has been
arrive at by the managers as to what
will be done.
