We regret to. announce the, death .of David E. Burke, a well known 'former . citizen of The Dalles, on Saturday last at St. Vincent r hospitals Portland. "Dave," as hewas familiarly known, worked in the company's shops at this place for many years.. He was. an hon est, s industrious, sober,, .kind-hearted man and was much esteemed. by. all who knew him. . The thousands who are interested in a portage road at The Dalles on the Oregon side of the Columbia will be pleased to learn that within a week, from now sur veyors will be in the field locating and surveying the most practicable route between this city and Grant station in Sherman county. Already the people of Sherman county have offered to build the grade in their county .from the Des chutes east. A regular meeting of the board of trade was held last evening in the board of trade room. In the absence of president Macallister George Blakeley occupied the chair. . There was a small attendance. An important communication was read from Mr. Shaw, of Oregon City, relating to the establishment of a woolen mill at this point. - The. general impression of the members present seemed to be, that the offers of Mr. Shaw were fair and reasonable and within the ability and power of the city to grant. It was there fore decided to call a special meeting of the board for next Tuesday evening at which a full attendance of members is expected in order to take final action on the matter. The,secretary was instructed f to.in,form.1Mr. Shaw that his proposals were being .entertained and that he might expect a definite answer ' by the middle of next week. " .'Some, wicked and ungodly wretch the other night entered the barn where the editor's family cow has her sleeping apartments, and not having the, fear- of the editorial jshillelah, before her eyes hypothecated the hay-fork. As the edi tor has no use for a. cow without a hay fork,, he hereby gives notice to the un godly wretch aforesaid, that by calling at this office and making himself known he might hear something that would inter ert him amazingly. As it would appear, by the way, that the same person is go ing into the wholesale saw business, he or 8omemember of the same contempta ble sneak thief generation having stolen three saws from Deacon Beezley, we add as a further inducement, that we have a real nice saw which we will give away to the aforesaid sneak thief if he applies in person at any time of the day or night.

The following ministers and delegates are in attend ance : From Condon, Mr. Marlin Campbell, Rev. E. D. Howell and Geo. L. Neal; delegate. v . Fairview, David Nelson, delegate. Hood River, ."Valley.

A Pointed Superintendent of Construc tion. - Mr. G. Jv Farley, of . this city, , has been appointed by the portage commis sion as superintendent of construction, qf the portage ' railroad at the Cascades. Mr. Farley is an vojd railroad, jnan and has had extensive experience ' in this sort of work. j We believe jiof better -:ap-pointment could have been made. One thing. j'b dead certain, when Farley gets his final orders to go and build that road it is going to be built and built right away,, and built, witlfout any red tape or any monkeying or foolishness. 1 As soon aa Mr.Farley. became aware . ot. hia .-appointment yesterday he immediately telegraphed to; Senator tDolph (to, nave orders given without delay for' the loca tion of) the road ,, so .the j workcould : be immediately proceeded with. .. It is probable 4 Mr. .DoJph was '.absent from Washington as no answer has yet been received. -. . , ,,.r - Speaking of local freight rates J. J. Lynch, the Mosier merchant, said to a representative of the Chronicle,: "The rate for flour, in less than car load lots, from,The Dalles , to. Mosier .; a distance of sixteen miles, is twelve cents per hun dred, pounds. From .Walla Wajla . it is seventy-three cents. :- Last' spring I bought .,a ton of seed . wheat in Walla Walla and had it shipped to Mosier. The freight averaged exactly eighty cents a sack." This reminds us of a story we heard the other night,,; while sitting on the. porch of the Mount Hood hotel at Hood River. The speaker was a travel ing man, who had just come down from The Dalles where he .had put up .at the Umatilla - House. .... Learning that ,'we were from The Dalles he thoughtfully remarked t "You have some remarka ble characters up there. I heard the proprietor of the Umatilla House tell a tourist that when he first came to this coast he used to get a dollar a pound for packing flour on his back to the Salmon river mines. He made a trip a day and carried 200 pounds each trip.'f The tourist expressed some , surprise at the greatness, of the load but Colonel Sinnot quietly remarked "Oh, that's nothing. A Frenchman used to make the. trip with me who never carried less than 400 pounds ; but he died, poor fellow, i We were crossing the Columbia river . one day on the backs of the salmon (they were so thick in the river -in those days we used to do- it often) when .his., feet slipped through a thin place among the salmon, and was he drowned. , He, was a fine swimmer too, but once .he went be low the salmon they were so thick he could not get back to the surface." : From a private letter to the editor of the : Chronicle, which came to The Dalles during hia absence from town, we are informed of the death, at his home at Merced Falls, California, of D. P. Woodruff, the father of Mrs. W. H. Davis of Wapinitia, and of Mrs. Frank Amen formerly of Kingsley. Mr. Wood ruff's death occurred on the 2d ultimo and he was 65 years, 5 months and 21 days old. . Tne immediate cause of his death was tumor of the stomach. He was for some time a resident of Wapini tia and was a man greatly esteemed by all who knew him. He was a manly, sincere and. consistent Christian and died aa he had lived, in the full hope of a glorious immortality, William Farre, of Antelope, who has been in Portland for the past week, left for home on this morning's stage. . "TTS HC;:PJI4 ,RE8TABK,ArT? Opening of .'the Handsomest Restaurant In the City. . At last The Dalles has a restaurant that is a credit to the city. It is the new one just opened in the O.pera House block, No. 116 Washington street by Mr. Will S. Graham- It ;. has . a handsome dining room with nine tables, with the neatest kind of service so arranged as to be exceedingly attractive. There are four private boxes and a pleasant private dining room, that can be .laid with six teen covers. , This room ia Mr. Graham's pet hobby and is the delight of his eye. It is attractive in all its apportionments and we predict that many fine dinners will be enjoyed there. The kitchen is large, some 16x20 feet, and is as neat as wax and perfect in every particular. It has a large French range and every convenience that can be utilized. A large refrigerator room is just off the kitchen, so complete in its arrangements that meats and other arti cles are kept so fresh and 'sweet that they are brought .from there in perfect condition for cooking. Everything about the entire establishment is as clean and tidy and nothing is lacking in the ap pointments of a complete and perfect restaurant. . Mr. Graham has the best of cooks and his meals are served in a tasteful and attractive manner. We congratulate the proprietor on his handsome and complete establishment and hope that he will receive the patron age he so richly deserves. Notice. Having leased the Mount Hood hotel at Hood River, I would respectfully call the attention of the traveling public to the fact that the house is being thorough ly renovated and will be open for the re ceDtion of tmests on or about Miv 1st. and I would most respectfully solicit a share of the public patronage. Nothing will be over-looked for the comfort of guests.- . Geobge Herbert. Somebody has played a fine game of forgerj' on a couple of parties in Gilliam county that has just come ,to light through the visit of B. S. Kelsay of Antelope to this , city. Mr. Kelsay found that, two. checks, one . for. $140 drawn in favor of James Robinson and one for $50 made payable : to Joseph Hobson and signed "B. S.. Kelsay' had come, in the regular course of business, from parties in Gilman county to the first national bank of this city, where they had been duly paid and hareed to Mr. Kelsay's account.' " They : are . both forgeries and Mr. Kelsay has no idea who perpetrated . the' deed. ? The bank will of course- lose nothing as the checks were properly indorsed by re sponsible . parties. - " Armory of "C" Co. r "C" Co. ) itry, O. N. G. y ., May. 9, 1891. ) Third Reot.
