Mr. J. H. Menefee of Dufur was in
the city today. ,
Five tramps were arrested last night,
found sleeping on wool sacks at the
East End.
A shoe factory on a legitimate basis
would receive substantial encouragement
in The Dalles.
The youngest child of conductor French
is reported very ill at the residence ofJ
Mr. French's father-in-law, Mr. ' Frisco
in this city.
F. J. Miller, clerk of the Oregon rail
' road commission, came up from Portland
last night and remained over till the
noon train today when he left for Pen
dleton. We believe within a year a shoe
. factory well managed in this city
would pay out as much money for labor
as did the railroad when the shops were
here.
School SuperintendentlTroy Shelly left
on last night's west bound train for
Newport to attend the State Teachers
institute, which is to be held there. He
will be absent about two weeks."
The run of .salmon during the past
twenty-four hours has been rather light.
: Winans Brothers caught only about 1000
pounds last night ' while some" of the
wheels caught next to nothing:
After next Tuesday the U. S. signal
.service will be under different manage
ment. It will be transferred from Jhe
war department to the agricultural de
partment. The stockholders of the Eastern Ore
gon co-operative association held a meet
ing today in the parlor of the Cosmopol
itan' hotel, for" the purpose of taking
steps to increase the capital stock of the
association."" .' ; ' ' 1
' It is generally suDposed that the pres
ent month has been an unusually cold
one, but the signal service .observer says
that the mean temperature for twenty
three days of Jane is sixty-two degrees.
The mean temperature for the past
seventeen years is sixty-one degrees for
June. ' ' '
During the" last two weeks the follow
ing elections and promotions have taken
place in .Company C, 3d regiment. O. N.
G. : First. Lieut. L. C. Chrisraan to cap
tain ; First Sergt. C. H. Moore to first
lieutenant; Q. M. Sergt. A. H. Kennedy
to first sergeant and Corporal K. Gott
fried to Q. M. sergeant.
The new boat, The Regulator, will, we
are assured by Mr. Paquet, be launched
tomorrow. The hour cannot be defi
nitely fixed, but Mr. Paquet expects to
, have her in the : water somewhere be
tween three and four o'clock. "Prepar
ations for the launch, are being pushed
rapidly and everything needed is on the
ground.
W. R. Menefee jr., of Dufur has just
returned from Portland where he has
been since the first of March last, taking
a course of Instruction at the business
college. Mr. Menefee succeeded in tak
ing a diploma in the short term of three
months and is one of the only two who
have ever accomplished it at that insti
tution.
We are sorry to learn that the two-year-old
child of Mr. Andrew' McCabe,
who lives between Five and Eight Mile,
was kicked tjiis, morning by a sucking
colt, badly fracturing its skull. The ac
cident occurred at Polk Butler's place
near Nansene. Mr. McCabe was return
ing rroin a trip into the interior,.
wjtn a loao: of wool, and was accompanr
led by his wife and child.' While getting
ready for the ' road, this morning 'the
child ran up to the colts' heels with the
result stated. The child was immediat
ely brought to (town and placed in the
care of Dr. Rinehart who succeeded in
making it as easy as possible. The doc
tor thinks that under proper care it laay
recover. .,. -
Lorenzen & Go.;. yesterday. caught in a
seine at, their fishing place on the other
side the river below Crate's point a two
or three-year-old grey-hair seal. The
little fellow, we should judge weighs
about sixty pounds though we have
heard a gentleman offer to wager that he
will weigh a hundred. " The seal wasjhe
object of much curiosity to a large num
ber ot visitors at the old stone building
on ,he corner of Main and Washington.
Another seal said to be twice as large as
the one described above was caught last
uiKui. m one ot the fish wheels of Win
ans' Brothers on the North Dalles side of
the river. Mr. Aud Winans intends - to
send it to a small aquarium that there is
on Paradise farm, Hood River.

'Jrbeatt In "Starllt-nt..1
One might as well try to weigh a smile
with steelyards. or measure a ray of sun
shine wi,th a tpe measure as to attempt
a description of that decidedly eccentric
creation, "Starlight."
It is called a musical comedy,- but the
title for it might be strung over, several
lines and include most every department
of the dramatic world without viol: ting
the proprieties, for it is composed, of .the
brightest portions of any number of pop
ular dramatic and musical works rang
ing all the way from extravagant bur
lesque to stately opera. The entertain
ment is one of that sort that is capable
of change from season to season, and
while "Starlight" has been seen here
before, this time it is really a new and
revised version of itself, and the auditor
sees practically a new production
vernona Jarbeau and her peculiar,
pert, Frenchy methods are well known
to the theater public. Certainly she is
one the most capable and entertaining
artists in her line and in several respects
Stands alone. The company .is by far
the best she has presented. During the
play Miss Jarbeau introduces her char
acteristic songs and dances, the latter of
which, without being the least sugges
tive, are lively enough to catch even the
most blase, and which have made her
famous. The costumes are elegant, the
music bright and catchy, and the play
may be safely depended on as furnish
ing an evening of pleasant entertain
ment.
Mrs. Poorman'a Assailant Put Under
1,000 Bonds.
Al. Lawsou, the man charged with the
criminal assault on Mrs. Poorinan wan
brought before Justice Doherty this af
ternoon at two o'clock. Lawson waved
examination and was bound over in the
sum of $1000 a sum so ridiculously
small that it is only justified by the fact
that neither the justice nor Mr. A. R.
Thompson, who appeared for the state
believes that it can be procured. Quite
a crowd was gathered around the office
of the justice as the marshal marched
Lawson from the jail and it was perfect
ly evident that it only wanted a leader,
to have dealt roughly with the prisoner.
Mrs. foorman was able to ride down to
the office in the sheriff's buggy, and the
sight of the poor old lady, with her ear
and face bearing the marks of having
Deen Ditten Dy the brute, and her broken
arm in a sling, was enough to melt the
stoutest heart.
We learn from Prineville papers that
wool men, in .that neighborhood, are
hauling their wool to the " Willamette
valley and realizing 20 cents a pound for
it. ' If this is true, and it cannot with
reason be questioned, as names and dates
are given, it argues something wrong in
The Dalles market.
J . Evans, lecturer for the state grange
Pf Washington, and William "flolder,
lecturer for the Oreeon' state sraiim.
were in the city today. Mr. "Evans in
formed the writer that the grange has
icnreased its membership in Washington
a hundred per cent, during the past
twelve months. '
It is a curious fact, but fact it is, that
the bird "that is more widely distributed
over the earth and better known to man
than perhaps any other, has no distinc
tive name. 1 We refer to the barn-yard
fowl. To call them chickens is to use a
misnomer, unless we refer to those of
them which have just emerged from the
l n T- - .i c , ...
Biicn. ig can mem iowi is equally in
exact for the best usage of this term is
much more comprehensive. To call the
male bird a rooner is to use pure Amer
icanism ; to call the female a hen is to
use a term equally applicable to the fe
males of many other species. The fact,
however, that all this is true, does not
make a chicken fry or roast a wbit the
less savory.
Mr. W. J. Harriman, whose place is.
on the timber line between Five and
Eight Mile, left a sample of fall wheat
at this office which .contains its town
proof that it pays Jo farm well.' It is
Little Club and measures four feet and a
half in height, and is. a fair average sam
ple, Mr. Harriman says, of a two-acre
field of summer fallow, sowed in the fall.
The sample speaks loudly of the neces
sity of summer fallowing in order to ob
tain the best results. Every whit as
much grain can be raised on half the
ground in cultivation; if summer fallow
ing is practised, and with much greater
certainty of a.crot on that which is cul
tivated and with less labor and less 'ex
pense. Arrangements have been partly inade
to hold a farmers' institute at'JDufur
next fall similar to the one held a short
time ago at Wasco in Sherman .county.
The arrangement for time an4 place will
be made through the grange and the
meetings will be attended by professors
from the state agricultural college.
