FAIR MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1891. The Chronicle is the Only Paper in The Dalles that Receives the Associated Press Dispatches. LOCAL BREVITIES. Mr. T. A. Hudson has returned from visiting friends in the east. ' Born yesterday, to the wife of Angus Byers of , this city a nine pound boy. A very enjoyable picnic was held at Mosier, last Saturday, in honor of the anniversary of Mrs. J. H. Mosier's 53 birthday. ' ' Senator Mitchell left Portland, Satur day, for Tacoma, from whence he will proceed over the Northern Pacific to ..Washington. The Knights of Pythias who visited the Cascades Satuaday evening speak in the highest terms of the generous hospi tality of the people of that section. About twenty Knights of Pythias of this city., visited the Cascades last Satur day evening, to attend the inauguration of a new lodge of the order at that place. Diphtheria still rages around Prine- ville and John Savage has lost three more children, making a total of seven lost to this family by the dread disease A young man from the country got into a row ' last night in one of the saloon 8 and was hit on the arm with a cane, fracturing one of the bones of the elbow. : A telegram received by Mr. Geo. A. Liebe this morning, conveys the sad news that the wife of Henry Allehoff of Albina, died a little after midnight last night. Hon. D. J. Cooper came up from Port land baturday evening and will remain in the city two or three days, after which he will visit Koseburg to attend to some swamp land matters in that land district Additional articles of incorporation were filed- in Salem last Saturday for the Hood River Armory association, capital stock $1200. The incorporators are A. 8. Blowers, A. Winans, J. H. Dukes, E. F. Winans and L. N. Blowers. Union Pacific officials object to the reduction of freight rates pioposed by the Oregon railroad commission. They will appear before the commission next Tuesday and endeavour to convince the commission that the proposed reduction . should not be made. Attention is called to the advertise ment of N. W. A. W. Branner in another column. ' In a private communication he informs us that he will pay $15 month for a girl that can do, general housework but for a good girl who under stands her business and how to cook he will pay $20 a month. ,l8t Friday and Saturday 135,000 bushels of wheat were sold in Walla Walla at .74 cents for club and 75 cents for blue stem. . On Friday 100,000 bushels were'sold at Adams, fifteen miles north of Pendleton for 75s cents a bushel, sacked. Saturday last 10,000 bushels were contracted for at Salem at 80 cents a bushel. . - At the horse race held at : Wamic last Thursday the W. D. Munger mare, Queen of Hearts was matched against the Tom Strickland mare Mamie, for. $158 a side, quarter mile dash, 'and was won by Queen of Hearts. A match had been made between Mattie Mullins and Mamie but was withdrawn on account of the sickness of the former mare. ' Farmers' and fruit men who desire to contribute articles for exhibition for "Oregon, on Wheels" will find Major Ingalls at the store, in the Vogt block next door to the granger store. The thanks of Major Ingalla, as well as of the community are due to Mr. Max Vogt for allowing the use of his store to Major Ingalls free of charge. Hon. W. P. Isenberg of Hood River is in the city. The Diamond flouriug mills are shut down for repairs. Mrs. William Wigle tf Crook county is visiting Mrs. Donnel. Mr. B. F. Smith of the firm of Paquet & Smith, contractors of the Regulator, is in the city. Mrs. Kitty Sears, daughter of Mr. J. R. Doyle of Eight Mile, arrived on the noon train today from Seattle, on a visit to her parents. The total number of persons in the state between the ages of four and twenty years is 105,622 and the total amount ot state school funds subject to distribution is $153,151.00, giving to each county the sum of $1.45 per capita, the same ratio that it was in 1890, although the number of children is 6036 more, showing a healthy increase in the fund. From the Condon Globe we learn that Rev. E. D. Howels and family have moved from that country to their old home in Hood River. Mr. Howells ex pects to return to Condon for a short time. The Globe says Mrs. Howells has, by her kind and amiable disposition, endeared herself to all the good people of that country and that they deeply re gret her departure. Joe Trippier of Wapinitia came into town last night to make some entries for the coming district fair. He has entered the Pay Dajcolt in the two year old running race, half jnile dash, and the W. D. Munger mare, Queen of Hearts, in the quarter mile, 600 yards and half mile dashes. Mr. Trippier intends making other horse entries at a later date, besides that of twelve head of thoroughbred De von cattle. He will leaye by next Wed nesday for the Willamette Valley, bring ing his cattle and horses with him for the circuit of state and county fairs. A militia company composed of four teen lads of the town paraded the streets today marching to the inspiring beat of a drum. Having honored the Chronicle office with a call and a drill exhibition, it was learned that .tne new company is named Company Izzard and is composed of fourteen members. The omcers are Charlie Heppner, captain, Rex Ward, lieutenant, Geo. Chandler, sergeant and Frank Sylvester drummer. Jack Pruin was asked what' office he held and he answered "Ojist a general." Theyoutog recruits have cigar boxes for knapsacks, Their arms consist of four . tin sworda, eight sticks and a wooden . gun. They say their camp is in the Academy grounds and that any money they raise by giving exhibitions "of drill ;is spent for the good of the company irf candy and water melons.- ; Last Saturday a representative of the Chbokiclk paid a visit of. inspection--to the county jail. - It has now three in mates, young Hart who is" charged with larceny from a dwelling, Lawsen charged with rape and a Chinaman in dieted for an assault on the Earl of Taffe. The Chinaman is the only one of the three adicted to reading. He has what might be a whole library, for aught we know, of Chinese literature, and he spends nearly all his time perus ing it. The jail itself is a model of cleanness. The walls of the day room and cells are as white as snow and the place is as free from unpleasant smells as the parlor of any residence in the city ; for all of which, the janitor, John Fitzgerald, has the credit, for he deserves it. Some of the finest peaches that have been brought to The Dalles this season will be sent today by Maj. Ingalls to the Oregon Immigration Board, for "Oregon on Wheels." These peaches were raised in The Dalles by Mr. H. Horn, the lot, about one half a box, averaged eight ounces and are known as the Rosters' variety. Quite a number of our fruit men on Mill Creek and Three Mile, have promised Maj. Ingalls some choice lots of fruit and vegetables in a few days for "Oregon oh Wheels.". A letter received today from the State Board of Immigra tion by Maj. Ingalls states that all specimens from The Dalles ' will have prominent place in the exhibit cars. It is hoped that the farmers and fruit men of this vicinity will improve this oppor tunity to show Eastern people the pos sibilities of this section in fruits, grains and vegetables, in comparison with other parts of Oregon and California. Any thing left at this office will be delivered over to Maj. Ingalls. E. Jacobsen and N. N. Eastwood took the contract, this morning, for cleaning up the street in front of the stores on becond street from Jacobsen's Btore to Stubblings corner. The contract was let by E. N. Chandler and the price paid or rather promised,, was sixty, cents. The work was well done and the money honestly earned, but whether Pap paid it or not we have not learned Later We have just learned that when Messrs Jacobsen and Eastwood had fin ished their work Pap Chandler offered to pay them in watermelons," which they indignantly refused. Then he wanted them to wait till the first of the month for their pay, this they refused to do. Then Jacobsen held Pap up while East wood took the money out of his pocket. It was found, by the way, that Pap had a dollar and a quarter in his possession which he had obtained in twenty-five cent pieces from the neighboring stores, for doing the work, so that he got the street before his own door cleaned for nothing and had sixty-five cents left. There are no flies on Pap Chandler. Justice Schutz returned today from a business trip to Portland. Jno. W. Clarno, Crown Rock, and Chas Howe of Hood River, are in the city. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Dysart of Centra- lia, Wash., are visiting Mrs. Dysart's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Butler, A meeting of the King's Daughters will be held at the residence of Mrs. Harris, tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock. A full attendance is requested. Two hundred and fifty head of fine steers arrived at the stock yards today sold by Robt. Mays & Sons to the Puget Sound Dressed Meat and Packing Co. The following names appear on the Umatilla House register : Dave Lavelle, Baughlaughlin, Ireland; Geo. B. Leach, Alaska; M. Cavanaugh, Hog Wallow, Mo. ; Harry Fowler, County Letrim. The purest tea ever said to have been brought to this city is Beech's sun dried tea, now on sale at Leslie Butler's..' A full pound of this tea is offered for sixty cents. Buy a package and give it a trial. . Artesian water, that has a daily flow of 250,000 gallons and rises forty feet in the air, was struck in the north Yakima country last week, at a depth of 400 feet. The people up there think they have solved the problem of irrigation for hun dreds of thousands of acres of land, prac tically valueless without water, for any thing except pasture. , . By reason of some defect in the mech anism of the lock of the safe- of Ladd & Bush's bank of Salem over $100,000 were shut off from use and circulation for the past three weeks. The safe was one of the, old "dreadnaught" pattern none of which have been . manufactured for nearly twenty years. One expert safe- opener worked for seven days to- bore a small hole through one of the plates. This plate was bo hard that drills that would cut through plate glass would not scratch it and it was only by the use of emery drills that any impression- could be made on it. A Sad Accident. Yesterday morning about 8 o clock as the east bound, freight train, nnmber twenty-eight, was at the gravel quarry, eight miles this side of Portland, brake- man Frank Tracey fell from a freight car and the truckB passed over his righ,t leg midway below the knee almost' com pletely severing it from the body. ' It appears the engine with four cars at tacbed. waa going down , the incline to the quarry when one of the cars came against another that was standing at the end of a switch. ' Whether Tracey was attempting to jump on the other car and missed his footing or accidentally fell off the car he was on is not known, but he fell between the cars with the above re suit. The leg had to be amputated be low the knee. Mr. Tracey is favorably known in The Dalles where he used to be em ployed in the company's yard. He is well spoken of by all his fellow em ploves. He has a wife- and family. . A singular thing connected with the ac cident is that when he was picked up his left shoe was off his foot, though how it was taken off our informant was unable to guess. The foot itself was only slightly scratched. How It Was Decided. Marshall U. Wilder, the little comic dwarf, who amuses the British aristo crats at dinners by his funny stories astonished and amused a dinner party in London recently by telling this story' "When Timothy Healy was a boy his father was in doubt whether to make him a lawyer, a parson or a merchant, So be placed on a table a bible, a six pence and an apple and called tne ftov in, determining to name the profession according to the boy's - choice. .. Young Tim came in and saw the articles on the table. Without hesitation he put the sixpence between the leaves of the bible tucked the bible under his arm and be- can to eat the apple. . 'That settles it. exclaimed the Healy the elder. . 'If he is such a hog' as that I will make a poli tician out of mm.' " . Please Publish It. There seems to be a lack of buyers for beef cattle in - this county. Stockmen inform us that there are a large number of good cattle for sale but the buyers' have not appeared, and it may be that an impression to the contrary has been circulated abroad. Our exchanges can do Wallowa county a favor by publish' ing the fact' that -good beef cattle can be nad nere at -fair prices. Wxllowa Vhtef- tain. . -.
