man and was much esteemed. by. all who
knew him.

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. .

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.
