The fish wheels are almost idle, as the
run of salmon yesterday and .last night
had nearly stopped. . The wheels only
caught from H to 10 fish each, during the
night better tjmes in .. the near

Hon. J. H. Mitchell informs the New

for the strong fight he expects to make
in her behalf next winter. . Mrs.
Mitchell is advised by her physician, to

she and her daughter may go there for a
short time. ' '

' ' '. Cormick Shooting.
Wasco County Jail, May 13., 1891
Editor Chronicle I am a barber by
trade, and was in business at the Cascade
Locks .where I unfortunately met Pat
McCormick, who represented himself as
a bad man, and proved himself to be .so
in the neighborhood of the Locks. Some
one misrepresented me as a prize iighteifto
Mr. McCormick, who on learning this,
at once challenged ' me for a fight. As I
would not accept of his proposal,, he de
termined to lick me whether I would
fight or not.. ..To accomplish . this, he
came to my room at 10 o'clock one night
and there abused me greatly. But I beg
ged off on that occasion. The next day
1 concluded to leave the place to avoid
trouble, as I was told that Pat was a very
bad man whenever he took a dislike to a
man, although I had not harmed him in
any way.
On leaving the place I . called on a
friend who kept a saloon. As I entered
the saloon I saw Pat at the bar. Say's,
he "Harry, I and you have a little
difficulty to settle." Say's I, "McCor
mick I will not talk to you any more."
I inviteu liiui to take a drink with me
which he did.
I then turned and walked out of the
door, followed by Mr. McCormick. I
walked about thirty feet from the door
out in the street. When I turned and
said: "Mc. You have followed me
enough." At that moment he threw
his hand back to draw his revolver. I
noticed the move and saw that I had
no chance to escape. Then to protect
myself, I drew my pistol and began fir
ing at him as he . had done the same at
me. I received three bullets, but only
one took effect in my breast. McCor
mick received one, striking him in the
abdomen. . He recovered and afterwar ds
made his escape. . .
I was arrested and bound over to "the
grand jury without examination, Jthat
is, the justice of the peace claims that -1
waived the examination, but I never
was made acquainted with the facts
until I was in jail, any more than I
waived it until I was more able for an
examination, but I find myself wearing
off the long and dreary hours of my con
finement for almost three months. But
I hope to ' be released '. from ' my unjust
confinement very soon, as I consider
myself justifiable in protecting myself.
Yours very truly, - -Habhy

CROP BULLETIN.
Indications Are - I'niveraally f avorable
for Good Cropa Heavy fruit
Yield Expected.
.- The increased warmth has :been of
great benefit to crops of all kinds, The
growth, is reuiarkablel .,' Winter wheat is
in places quite rank. On low . land
spring needing is -not completed owing
to the rains and wet; soil. Some rye" is
heading.; . The hay and clover fields r are
unusually --'promising.1 Hay will be , a
big crop, the rain being, very beneficial.
Hops are pole high already and so far
are very healthy. Corn is being planted.
Garden products are up and growing
well. Strawberries are in blossom and
the fruit formed. Grape vines are being
trained on arbors, and the leaves are
about fully formed. The vines are
thrifty and clusters forming.;- Fruit trees
are heavily laden. The frost -' has not
pruned out the surplus fruit, hence con
siderable fruit pruning -will have to be
done by hand, else the trees will .be
broken down. . ;! The. prospects for all
products are unusually promising. .
In Eastern Oregon late spring grain is
in need of more rain. Unless more
moisture is soon had the spring grain
will be a short crop. Fall wheat
promises unusually well. In Umatilla
County the ground" is quite hard, but the
late showers benefitted it somewhat. In
Baker" and Malheur counties irrigation
is mainly depended upon for crops, and
here they are very promising as the cool,
cloudy weather retarded evaporation. In
Union county wheat prospects are ex
cellent. South of the Blue mountains
spring is backward and frosts are fre
quent. Fruit is now blooming: frost
.has done no damage to it so far. Spring
grain is coming up, but more rain is
wished for. Snow yet lingers in the
mountains keeping the air cool.
Throughout Eastern Oregon the fruit
prospects are excellent. Sheep shearing
is progressing finely. Some clips are
being delivered to. warehouses.

i " '"A. 'Cttjr' Park Needed," j :
One of the greatest needs of The Dalles
is a city park. Nothing contributes
more to making a city a desirable place
to live than the possession of a large and
commodious ' park. It is a breathing
place for all, a sort of an oasis as it were
in. the desert of everyday rush and tur
moil of strife and business. The Dalles
owns some very fine property on the hill
in the vicinity of the new- reservoir
which should be set aside for a park and
improved from year to year until we have
one that will attract visitors from the
surrounding country. This city should
be the central point for excursions from
all directions and a well laid out and
improved park would contribute largely
to that end. A band stand and speaker's
platform should be erected, seats , pro
vided for a good sized audience and if
this was done we believe the band boys
could be induced to give summer even
ing concerts frequently. Something
should be done before the coining "4th of
July celebration and a movement look
in that direction should be inaugurated
at once.
Oregon's Key.
Spokane Review.
Irrigation is Oregon's key to prosperity ;
In the eastern portion of "the state, and
lying south of the Columbia river, is a
broad domain of public land with a soil
second only to that of eastern Washing
ton. But it is deficient in rainfall, the
moisture swept inland by the air currents
from the sea passing northward "into
eastern Washington. If Oregon conld
get water upon these lands she would
quickly add many thousands to her pop-
uiotion. Jiiiat would attract new rail
roads, and the opening of the Columbia
to navigation would afford still another
potent factor.

to Portland today ; one carload of -fat
hogs brought in from La Grande, which
will be taken to Portland, and ten car
loads of very fine beef cattle from the
Harney country belonging to Messrs.
Reynolds & Childs, buyers. They will
be shipped to the. Sound markets, being
the last of a 700 head lot from the Leex

Baby is sick. he woeful .expression
of a Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause,, when he inquired of a
druggist of the same city what was best
to give a baby for a cold? It was not ne
cessary for him- to say more, his counte
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
"We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy," was the druggist's answer.
"I don't like to give the .baby such strong
medicine," said the teamster.' You know
John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print
ing Co.,' don't' you? inquired the drug
gist. .---"His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. Of course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba
by's cold." The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy; having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger, in giving it even to a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly
