pounds. The Winans Brothers caught
about four tons of fish yesterday. The

fisheries will, for a time, doubtless, catch
all the fish they can handle.

The suggestion made by our corres
ponaent "Why lot," for the appoint

timed. The temporary abolition of the
office of street commissioner may or may
not be wise, but there can be no doubt
that no one man, no matter how active
and efficient, is able to give sufficient
attention to the whole city. Aa a con
sequence, the people on the bluff have
long been infested with a set of con
rcmpuuie sneas thieves, who pick tip
eyerything they can lay their hands on.
It has come to such a pass that a person
canroi lay a curry-comb down in an un
locked barn without its being carried

neer costume overalls, brogan shoes

penders has been selected to drive the
three yoke of oxen engaged for the oc
casion. As he punched the bulls the
plains across, first in 1849 and again in
1852, he may be depended upon to keep
them in line. .

Yesterday afternoon a couple of small
boys played a good practical ioke on the
ferrymen and the owner of a skiff at the
foot of Washington street. Th Ws
had got possession of a boat and . floated
down mid-stream from the neighbor
hood of the big eddy. ' As the boat
floated down the river the boys carefully
concealed themselves out of sierht from
those at a distance by lying prone on the
bottom. As the boat came nearly op
posite Washington street the ferrvmen
and others on shore supposed her 'to have
escaped from her owner. The ferrv boat
got up steam and made for the rescue
just as a gentleman pushed out in a skiff
with the same object. As the two boats
n eared the supposed runaway they were
equally disgusted to see a pair of small
feet shoot up into the air with a shake
that said as plainly as words could say
it. "Your's fooled ain't vou?" The
boat-man made a dash at the feet with
his oar as if he wished to lick somebody
but the ferry-boat dignifiedly kept its
way.
Why American Women Walk. .
"No other women in the world can
compare with American women," said a
man who has been living abroad for sev
eral years, "in walking. The American,
woman walks by preference. She seems
to scorn a carriage. And how she walks!
Her head is held up, her shoulders are
thrown back and her step is firm and
elastic. . Is it any wonder thai she has a
fine color and that her lips are fresh and
her eye clear? ' In other countries women
ride because they do not feel safe when
they are in the street Here they know
that they have every man at their com
mand if they need him.
You find women in lias after fine
thronging the streets where they go to
do their shopping, or jn Fifth or Madison
avenue, when they are returning home.
They may not know what a blessing
their independence is to them, but their
own "beauty and the health and vigor of
their children in after years are in a
great measure due to this love of walk
ing. Save in England, perhaps, I have
seen nothing like it, and in England the
women do not walk as they do here.
They are more , deliberate and grave.
The quickness and strength and fire are
missing. They seem more like machines.
They walk for the sake of- tradition, it
seems to an American, but here our
women walk because they like to walk." j

Work on The Dalles, Dnfnr and Bilk-
stone. Railroad to be Began This
r Fall. ' '-y :
A railroad from this city to the Fossil
or Silkstone mine would be of incalcula
ble value to The Dalles and the Chboni
cle is pleased to be able to announce
that the' prospects for the consummation
of that object is at hand. Last Tuesday
night The Dalles, Dufur & Silkstone
Railroad Company was organized by the
election pi (jeorge A. Hebe, T. A. Hud
son, E. B. Dufur, T. H. Johnston and
R. H. Norton as a Itoard of directors
At a subsequent meeting of the direct
ors, (jeorge a. Lie be was elected presi
dent, T. A. Hudson secretary, and R
H. Norton chief engineer, and the new
officials . are busy getting matters in
working order.
Thr stock of the road' has all been sub
scribed and enough funds are in' hand
to do all preliminary work, such as mak
ing location surveys, etc., and as soon as
the fourth of July exercises are over
surveyora will be put into the field and
work begun at once. It is the intention
vile wuipauy i, (j LFuiiu Luc portage rail
road well up into Sherman county this
fall,' and it is also expected that the line
will be built to Dufur so that the wheat
can be moved from both places bv thie fall.
It is promised that work w ilt be pushed
vigorously.. ;.--" .
The new road will ' start from-The
Dalles and run to Dufur, thence to the
Tygh. . From there it will be extended
by way of Bake Oven Canyon and Deeio
Creek to John Day-'and from thence to
the Silkstone

ABOUT HANDWRITING.
An Kzpert Explains Bow Easy It Is to

A profession which is an old and hon

is that of hand wri tin ar exrjert. , This
kind of testimony now carries mnr-Vi
more weight with judge and jurymen
