first lot of string beans .and raspberries

The annual meeting of the State Teach

Condition of our School Rooms."
The editor of the Chronicle ackn
owledges the honor of an invitation to
attend the commencement exercises of
, .the State Agricultural College to be held
at Corvallis, June twenty-first to twenty

The Rev. J. A. Orchard informs us
that the Advent Christians commenced
last night a general annual conference
and camp meeting, in a large tent at the
head of Union street near the new res-
ervoir. The meeting will hold over two
Sundays, and a cordial invitation is ex
tended to the public and to the Christ
ians of other denominations. Services
are held daily at 11 a. m. and 2.30 and 8
p. m.
Our neighbor of the Sun found room
this week to publish Rev. W. C. CurtisH
remarks last Sunday at the funeral of
the late Judge Bird. The Chronicle
would have done the same had not its
columns been overcrowded. The address
has attracted much favorable comment.
It is dawning upon the good people of
The Dalles that in Rev. Mr. Curtis they
have a minister of more than average
attainments and ability. His sermons
are bringing out many thinkers to listen
to them. They are always full of
thought and research and if printed as
they deserve to be would attract so
much attention to himself that the mod
est little pastor of the First Congrega
tional church of The Dalles would be
called to the pulpits of churches that
pay salaries much higher than that which
he now receives. Gradually Mr. Curtis'
ability is becoming known and appre
ciated, and people who : desire to hear
sermons which would be listened to
with pleasure if delivered in Chicago,
New York or Boston, are dropping in
from Sunday to Sunday to listen to
him, and his congregations are steadily
growing in numbers. The Congrega
tional church has never been in so pros
perous a condition as now and it is the
ability of its pastor that has brought it
about.
We Have the President.
:. The first annual convention of theOre
'gon Phartneceutical association was held
at Portland this week,' beginning on the
1 1th. The convention was largely attend
ed by druggists from all over Oregon.,
The members present recognized the.
abilities of our townsman, Mr: George
C. Blakely, by electing that gentleman'
president of the association for. the ensu-;
ing year. This is a handsome ; compli
ment to a deserving gentleman who is a
credit to his profession -and is always in
the front rank of matters pertaining to :
drugs and medicines. That he made an
excellent presiding officer is vouched for
by the Portland papers, which speak
highly of him. On Thursday : evening
the association gave a banquet at Arion
hall, with President George C. Blakely
as master of ceremonies, at which about
one hundred, gentleman were ''present.
The Evening Telegram speaks highly of
Mr. Blakely's address of welcome on
that ; occasion . We congratulate the
Pharmaceutical ' association on its aus
picious beginning and predict that the
coming year, under the management of
President Blakely,' the association will
become well established and started on
the road toward a' career of usefulness
and prosperity.

" Adrent Christian Camp-Meet in k".
The Adventists, (not seventh day) will
hold their annual meeting in The Dalles
this year. . Their tents are pitched in
the pines near the new city reservoir at
the head of Union street. There will be
preaching at the tent tonight at 8 p. m,
on Sunday at 11 a. m., 2 :30 and S p.m
and at the same hours each day during
the coming week, except Tuesdav. The
public are cordially invited to attend
these meetings.
Marshal Gibons last night arrested
Emil Hart, who is well known in this
city as a thoroughly bad boy and who is
no stranger to the clutches of the law
On the third inst. Hart broke into the
.room of Mike Heron at the Jackson
House and stole therefrom a pocket book
containing $5 in currency and a jack-
knife. The knife was found on his per
eon and the city has the' prospect of
being deprived of Mr. Hart's societv for
some time. As we go to press Hart is
being examined before Justice Schutz.
A very pleasant communication ad
dressed to the editor of this journal, was
laid on the table of our sanctum this
morning, by the hand of Mr. C. L. Phil
lips. If its contents were not exactly
suited to the pages of the Chronicle
they were admirably adapted to the ed
itor's stomach. It was a large envelope,
full of delicious raspberries. Comma
nications of a similar character are prac
tically welcome at this office. They are
right in our line.
Messrs. Ed Riggs, J. P. FitzGerald,
iMl. Williams, L. D. Ainsworth and
James Wilson will start on a bicycle tour
to Goldendale to-morrow morning.
Messrs. FitzGerald and Biggs will go all
the way by bicycle, the others will take
a team to the top of the hill. There is
some doubt among them as to whetiier
the boys essaying to go all the way by
bicycle will reach Goldendale or not.
Remember the public primary tonight
in the -circuit court room of the county
court house. Let every man who is in
terested in the good government of the
city make it his duty to be there. Don't
stay at home and afterwards growl that
the meeting was stuffed. Let it be thor
oughly representative of the best ele
ment of the citys population.
A ball will be given at the Hendrix
hall near Dufur on the night of July 3d.
That date was agreed on so as not to in
terfere with the celebration at ' The
Dalles.
From Mr. Willis Hendrix, of Dufur,
we learn that the rain on the Tygh
Ridge yesterday wet down three inches
in the solid road and filled up the rocky
hollows of the road levei with mud.
Mrs. G. B. Simpson is visiting at her
parents' residence in The Dalles. Her
next home will be at Kansas City.
BEVTJ3W OP THE LOCAL MAEKET
MERCHANDISE.
- The damp, cool weather of the past
week-has had a stimulating effect on all
branches of, business and our merchrnts
feel quite satisfied over their footing.
;..The stocks of merchandise on hand
are complete Tn everything. In the dry
goods line there is no change in. prices
.and .but few in styles. In the grocery
and hardware trades there is no material
change in. prices to report. Sugars are
still held firm although a decline is
talked of which has no foundation for
an immediate t change. Coffee remains
firm and will continue so for the season.
In the produce market there is an abun
dance of strawberries, cherries, goose
berries, and currants. New potatoes are
coming in freely and are taking the
place of old, and selling at from three to
four cents per pound. All other, kinds
of garden vegetables are plentiful at low
rates. .
About the only thing that the market
seems to be short of, is eggs, they find
a ready sale at 18 to 20 cents per dozen,
with an upward tendency...
' THE SALMON . CATCH.
The salmon catch is of too limited a
character to report our dealers as being
perfectly satisfied with the ; receipts.
What are caught are of larger size than
usual ; prices remain unchanged.
WOOL SITUATION.
The wool dead lock which has pre
vailed between the sellers and buyers
has not materially changed since the re
port of a week ago. The holders seem
immovable in their ideas and the buyers
are equally as steadfast in their opinions.
A gentleman who seems to comprehend
the situation is of the opinion the back
bone will be broken in a few days as
there are several new buyers in the field
who are not influenced by a few inside
sharpers who are endeavoring to control
the market. Unless there is a yielding
on the part of each, a determination is
manifest to ship to other markets. . Al
ready the Wasco warehouse shipped
during the past week 1000 bales and are
expecting orders for other shipments.
There has . been a few sales made by
some sellers on account of obligations,
at prices ranging from 13 to 17J . cents
The unsatisfactory condition of the wool
market, brought about by the general
disposition of wool growers throughout
the wool districts, to hold for ' better
prices has had a demoralizing effect on
trade in local centers, ahd concessions
will be nrged by those- who have made
advances'. As the outlook for a realiza
tion, of expectations is not warrantable
as the reports from abroad and the east
ern markets indicate a decline of 5 to 7
per ceni. on ine netter grades, and a
heavier decline on unwashed and heavy
wools. Prices are not notably lower,
but manufactures claim that their wants
are measurably supplied. The receipts
in this city have been as large for the
week past as formerly, and as 'great as
for the same, period last year. .
