LOCAL BKKTITTKS.
The Merrv-go-ronnd is now in Baker
City.
Mr. J. M. Cummins, the editor of the
Wasco New gave the Chrosici.k office a
pleasant call today.
' It is estimated that the late hot spell
injured grain in Sherman ' county as
much as twenty to twenty-five jer cent.
Hon. O. M. Scott has resigned the
county judgeship of Sherman county.
The governor has not yet appointed his
successor. -'.:.
The gentlemen bicyclists of this city
will miwt tAmnrrviiir in frnnf rt T d
Mack's at the honr of 4 p.. in. in order
'to be photographed. -
c The wife and dauubter of Mr. William
Alexander of Wapimtia arrived in this
citv.' two days airo from .Missouri and
left this morning for Wajiinitia..
The state fair prizes have been in
creased all 'round, and $15,000 in pre;
miuuiB will be offered. The fair opens
September 14th and continues one
week. .
It is expected that the 2nd regiment'
O. N. G. will go into camp for three
days at the state fair. It is said the
. boys are anxious for it, and want further
instruction. '
"The first number of the; Wasco News
has come to hand.f It is a bright, clean,
newsv sheet and we heartilv wish itsuc-
.cess. Tuere is plenty of room for us all,
and some of us have come to stay,
whetherior no. ' ' ' . -"
We were pleased to see Will .Grunow
on fiurstreets yesterday for the first time
since his collision with the "drum
major." Will now navigates on crutches
but thinks the bicycle a good thing yet.
The Wasco Newt announces that Sher
man county is going to have a ' railroad
from some point on the Columbia river
Biggs is suggested) up Spanish Hollow,
through the town of Wasco thence south
through Grass Valley and thence to the
Fossil coal fields. .
Mrs. G. B. Simpson,' youngest daugh
ter of Mr. Joseph Beezeley of this city,
left this morning for her new home in
Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Simpson will
stop at Newbridge, in this state, to visit
her brother and will be met at Denver by
her husband.
A subscriber to a paper - published
across the river, thinking that the editor
had too many 'flies on him, lately made
biin a present of a horned toad. The
fun of the thing is, the editor publishes
a notice of the present in the local col
umns and failed to see the joke plaved
on him.
This is the iirat day of the long month
of August, the month so characteristic
ally described by Pat when heeaid.'Six
weeks and thirteen daj-a, in the long
month of August, did I lie on the broad
of my back . wid a faver, spachless, and
all my cry was, 'wather, wather.' "
Neabock & Watson, who have the
contract for hauling the city water pipes,
complain that the railroad company load
it.on box cars, which makes it very hard
to get at, this causing a great deal of un
necessary labor for the .contractors.
They have already hauled four loads and
have eight more loads yet to deliver.
Mr. G. W. Ingalls brought up to this
city yesterday, from the fruit ranch of
Mr. Absten on the Columbia river, near
Hood River, a few samples of the hand
somest apples we have ever looked on.
They are of the ''Belle of the Season"
variety and were raised by Mr. Absten
whose ranch is offered for sale in another
column.
tienry dews of New York estimates
the value of the present wheat crop of
1 the United States at 540 million dollars.
That sum would give the six million per
sons' engaged in agricultural pursuits a
per capita of $90 for each man, woman
and child and that is a kind of per capita
that . beats the inflation scheme out of
sight. - -
It is estimated that Sherman county
will raise a million bushels of wheat
this year. If we had railroad connection
with Sherman county every pound of
their surplus would come this way for
shipment to Portland and Astoria. A
road on this side too, would mean -the
handling of this surplus one time less
than if it had to be ferried across the
river to Columbus.
Mr. Joe Trippier of Wapinitia came
into the city yesterday and left for home
t.hia
the last of next week he intends to start
by the Barlow road for Portland with
four head of thoroughbred running
horses and twelve head of thoroughbred
Devon cattle. ' He intends to make the
circuit of the different fairs and races
and return here in time to exhibit at
our district fair. Mr. Trippier makes a
business of raising thoroughbred horses
and cattle. He has a - herd of
thirty-eight Devons that would be
hard to beat anywhere, and a
band of thoroughbred horses. Mr.
Trippier, brought, all his original - stock
from Missouri, his former state, and we
are pleased to learn is making the busi
ness of raising fine stock here a success.
Miss Grace Crandall is at Yaquina in
company with Mrs. W.' H. Wilson.
' The sad and melancholy look that has
marked the feat n res of M. Randall since
Joe McEachern left town has now given
place to one of placid calm and joyons
ness since Joe came back.
Hon. D. J. Cooper came np today
from Oregon City where he has been en
gaged examining swamp land selections
in the Oregon' City land district. He
will return to his work. Monday morn
ing. J
On account of the illness of the gentle
man who intended to officiate at the
Congregational church tomorrow morn
ing there will be no preaching service at
that place. Sabbath school and Chris
tian Endeavor services will be held the
same as usual.
Mr. H. O'Neil of Nansene is in the
city. ' Mr. O'Neil thinks that the crops
oh Tygh Ridge were not greatly' injured,
by the late hot spell, and believes tht
that region will yet produce a fine crop.
He says late grain - looks much better
since it has become' cooler.
- Teachers will bear in mind that the I
time for holding the quarterly examina
tions, has ' been changed from the last
Wednesday to the second Wednesday in
each quarter.- The examination,' there
fore,' for this quarter will begin August
12th;. Tboy Shelly.

The number of sheep in Eastern Oregon-Is
estimated at a million and a half
and the wool clip for the season of 1890
is estimated at 8,978,123. The general
average price was 14 cents which
amounts to $1,214,937.23. The sheep
themselves represent an estimated value
of $3,750,000, - .;'
Mr. G, J. Farley came' up from the
Locks last night and will return this
evening. He informs us that the por
tage is so far finished that freight could
be hauled over it if the boato were run
ning, and the "donkey" locomotives had
not been destroyed. What work re
mains to be done is at the west end of
the track and will not be finished till a
lower stage of water is reached.
Mr. Zene Moody has been .-appointed
by the United States government to a
situation in the Portland custom house.
Mr. W. H. Moody has been appointed
by the same authority, fish reporter for
the-Columbia river at a salary of $3.50
per' day, and ex-Governor Moody, we
are informed, will fce appointed, within
the next sixty days to a government
oflice, in connection with swamp land
matters, i ne uhhokicle extends con
gratulations. Now let us have peace.
According to the statement of Colonel
Houghton in another place the third
regiment is out of pocket seventeen dol
lars for the rent of the camp ground at
The Dalles. He received from the Fourth
of July committee $105, and from the
third regiment committee $178,'-making
a total of 5283, and paid for rent $300,
leaving a deficit of $17 which the regi
ment had to pay. The Col. makes the
statement merely to correct the impres
sion tbat the rent of the camp ground
was paid by the Fourth of July commit
tee, whereas $105 was all the cash he re
ceived. ' The Colonel makes this state
ment not to find fault with anybody or
anything but to present the naked facts.
. Young Wah or Ah Ame that is the
Chinaman who was charged with the
assault on the Earl of Taffe, had his ex
amination before Justice Schutz yes
terday afternoon. Both Mr. Taffe and
his foreman swore that the Chinaman
had committed an assault,' both with
two rocks, which were produced in
court, and with a large 'butcher
knife. When the Chinaman
was put on the stand he swore
that he "never did nothing." The rocks
he -had never seen and the butcher knife
he "no savied." This left the justice no
other alternative but to believe, either
the Chinamen or the united testimony
of Mr. lane and his foreman. The
Chinaman had evidently overdone the
job. "Had he owned up, like a man, that'
he used the rocks and knife to defend
himself he might have been now free.
Mr. Taffe acknowledged that he had used
liim roughly when he took the rocks
from him : but the fatuity of all liars
clung to the Chinaman, and Justice
Schutz could do nothing less than bind
him over to appear before the grand jury,
in the sum of $250. The Chinaman was
committed to the county jail in default
of bail.
We are requested to call the attention
of the people of The Dalles to the condi
tion of the western approach to the new
bridge between this and Sherman coun
ty. It is well known that a water spout
fell at that place which destroyed so
much of the road that the lessee Mr.
Harris, has spent, it is said, $500 of his
own money, and Sherman county has
given $200 to repair the damage. The
most of the work has been done on the
other side of the river but the approach
on this side is still in a fearful condition.'
As Sherman county h as-contributed $200
Wasco cannot afford to do. less and
really ought to do more, if necessary.
Something ought to be done immediate
ly else a good deal of trade will be' cut
off from this city and the people of
Sherman will be very greatly inconven
ienced As a matter of fact the county
judge is powerless to do anything before
the next session ' of the county court.
What the people ought to do is to get up
a petition and have it ready for presen
tation when -the court meets, asking for
the sum required, and we have not a
doubt that the commissioners will re
spond liberally. .. . '

The Moonlight Exconiion.
. Editor Chbonicle I am not much of
a scribe but if you will allow me space I
would like to say a few words with re
gard to the excursion on the D. S. Baker
as described by our friend the Times-
m ountatneer. We take a newspaper to
get the true news and when a papertries
to gull the people with such a false
representation as we got of our . trip to
Hood River in Friday's edition, it looks
like it would sell itselffpretty cheap.
.Now I was there and never saw moon
or moonlight and it was so dark that
coming up the track from the wharf I
could not see to keep my toes from stub
bing. As to dancing, there were a few
waltzes' a good while after we turned at
Hood Riyer and these were under such
difficulties, dodging around pillars and
confined to such small space down in the
hold, that it was soon abandoned and all
came up on deck to growl and wish they
had not come and that all such excur
sions. were in Hong Kong. ...I think a
party that wilk help to deceive people
and get their hard earned money by a
fake ought 'to be "sat down on."

Timing One's Tunu.
When Captain Duncan Knock asked
Jeanie Demies the secret of her housekeep
ing, remarking that tbe fairies must help
her, for the house was always clean, yet he
never saw her wit h a broom in her hand,
she modestly answered, "Much might be
done by timing one's turns." Ve have all
seen such households where the mistress
was always ready to receive Uer friends and
her husband's friends; where everything
seemed to move hy some' unseen rhythm.
The secret certainly lies in perrect system,
in "timing one's turns," doing the routine
work of the house or seeing that it is done
on exactly the same day and time of the
day each week, and in training the serv
ants to work so methodically that they al
ways know what is expected of them. It
is a fatal mistake to call servants away
from their regular work and send them off
on all sorts of spasmodic errands at any
time of the day. It takes time to pick np
the threads of a piece of work which has
been dropped, and work that is done by
piecemeal is never well done.
If housewives were more methodical in
their ways of laying out their servants'
work for each day, and in adhering to it,
there would be less trouble with servants.
It is a noteworthy fact that servants re
main the longest in families where the
work is the most exacting and is done in
the most methodical manner.- Exchange.

Do I think that the use of glasses is on
the Increased I do. There are people wear
ing glasses today who have no business to
wear them, and there are people who ought
to wear glasses who will not ' There are
many who are astigmatic who do not know
it. Astigmation is an ocular defect that is
very prevalent. .'When you see a man cast
his head to one side while he reads a sign
or close one eye to see an object more clear
ly, that person is astigmatic, although he
may know nothing about it
Astigmation is not troublesome as a rule,
but in many cases it is annoying, and tbe
defects in the curvatures of the pupils
should be corrected with lenses ground
specially to fit each individual -case. Some
persons think if they do not need glasses
they cannot wear them without suffering.
