The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
If there waa not considerable genuine
truth in the stories -of the shortage in
foreign grain crops there would not be
so much excitement in the wheat market,
especially at this time of the year. The
stock gamblers seem determined more
than eVer to control the market, and it
will be only a repetition of the same old
story if many of them are found dead
cocks in the pit, financially, before the
snow flies.
Mrs. Lease, the sensational alliance or
ator, while lately addressing a meeting
of Kansas farmers is reported to have
said, by way of a final admonition,
"Raise less wheat and more hell." Mrs.
Lease, as an exchange observes, evidently
believes in a diversification of crops but
Kansas farmers will have , a hard time
mortgaging the product she recommends
them to cultivate.
Portland wants an open river to the
sea that is, if somebody else will pay
it. Portland contributed the enormous
sum of $2,000 dollars for a line of boats
that will land every pound of freight
they carry at her door. The rich men
of Portland are still too much interested
in Union Pacific stock to take much in
terest in a competing line.
DALLES GENEROSITY.
The Dalles Portland & Astoria Naviga
tion company finding that Portland was
not responding to the invitation to sub
scribe to the stock of the company with
any liberality that would indicate that
that city was interested in the matter,
and finding that money is still needed
to get ready for business, sent out a com
mittee through The Dalles this morning
and in about five minutes had raised the
following sums: French & Co., $2000;
B. F. Laughlin, $1000 ; Robert Mays,
$1000; Mrs. W. Lord, $500; Sam. L
jsrooKs, ?iuu. utner smaller sums are
assured. This prompt response to the
company's necessity goes a long way to
' prove that this city has men of sufficient
public spirit to generously support any
measure that will benefit the town.
The farmers of .Vasco county will not
forget this generosity when they come
to realize the benefits of reduced rates
of transportation.
ARTESIAN WATER.
From the Eal Oregonian, we learn
that steps are being taken in Umatilla
county to adopt some concerted action
lor the purpose of sinking artesian wells.
It is suggested that the county make c
donation for the purpose with the under
standing that an equal amount, or more,
be raised bv private subscription in and
Around the town nearest the place where
artisian water would most likely be
found. Encouragement has been given
to the scheme bv the fact that artesian
water was struck last week, in the North
Yakima country at a depth of only 400
feet with a daily flow of 250,000 gallons.
This was in spite of the fact that Super
intendent Powell of the United States
Geodetic department had pronounced
against the scheme.
The Eaxt Oregonian names the sum of
$5000 as that which would probably be
required to start the work in Umatilla
county. ,iVill the time ever come when
a movement of this kind will be started in
Wasco county? There are thousands of
acres of land here that, with sufficient
water for irrigation, could be made to
produce anything that can be grown in
a similar climate.
BRIEF STATE NEWS.

HIS NECK. BROKEN.
LeSoy Rose Rides Into a Barbwlre Gate
and Meets a Violent Death.
LeRoy Rose, a young man quite well
known throughout the county met with
a sudden death Saturday evening about
9 o'clock at James Cargill's place, ten
miles north of Pendleton. Rose was go
ing out to Cargill's farm from this city
on horseback, accompanying John R,
Mitchell and daughter, Miss Ella
Mitchell, and a young man named Cul
ver, who were in a buggy. J. here are
two gates in the road leading to Mr.
Cargill's house. The first Rose opened
for the buggy, and then said to its occu
pants that he would ride on ahead.
The second gate, a barbwire barrier.
had usually been left open, and Satur
day morning was open when Rose went
to town. When the buggy came up
Rose was found lying in the road, inside
the gate while his horse galloped away
He was gasping when the party arrived
but soon all signs of life disappeared
It is supposed that thinking the gate
was open he rode against it at a gallop,
and that his horse turned a somersault
and fell upon him. His neck was dislo
cated by the fall.
Justice .Bishop, actmg coroner, accom
panied by Dr. Vincent and Deputy
Sheria iiaiiey, went out Sunday and
held an inquest over the remains, which
brought out the lacts given above. -A
verdict of accidental death was returned
by the jury.
Rose was about thirty-four years old,
strong, and healthy and in the prime of
manhood. He leaves a mother, three
brothers, a sister and two little children
to mourn his untimely death. His wife,
a daughter or. r.ir. Mitchell, aiea a year
ago.
Every Boy Has the Same Chance.
It is not necessary that a boy who
learns a trade should follow it all his
life. Senator Palmer of Illinois was
country blacksmith once. President
Lincoln was raised on a farm and split
rails. President Garfield drove mules
on a canal. Jay Gould was a surveyor's
assistant. John U. Kockateller was a
book-keeper. Erastus Corning, too
lame to do hard labor, commenced as a
shop boy in Albany. When he applied
for employment hrst he was asked
"Well, my little boy, what can you do?'
"Can do what I am bid," was the
answer. That secured him a place. Ex-
Gov. Stone of Iowa was a cabinetmaker,
at which trade the late Hon. Stephen A.
Douglas also worked in his youth
Large numbers of prominent men now
living have risen, from humble life by
dint of industry, without which talent is
as useless as a gold coin on a barren
island. Work alone makes men bright,
and it does not depend on the kind of
work you have to do whether you rise.
A Wrlnkle.Wortn Knowing.
From the New York Tribune.
A man who is in the business says
"Over a dozen kinds of cement are made
which will unite the broken edges of
glass and china, and one is about as
good as another. The easiest and cheap
est to prepare, is made by taking two
ounces of pulverized white gum shellac
and half an ounce of gum mastic. Soak
them together in a couple of ounces of
sulphuric ether and add half h pint of
alcohol. After the whole is dissolved
the preparation is ready for use. You
heat the edges of the article to be
mended, put on the cement with a
brush, and hold firmly till the cement
has set. Lay the article "away for a
week, and it will break anywhere else
than in the mended place.
Another Flood Is Feared.
San Diego, Cal., "Aug. 18. Recent
heavy rains at Campo and the country
back toward the desert have again raised
the Tia Juana river, and people appre
hend more damage to property left by
the heavy flood of last winter. The peo
ple are very poor because of the heavy
losses, and fear a repetition of the for
mer flood. The uncertainity about the
location of the line of a new railroad
from San Diego to Ensenada causes de
lay in locating the new town, and hence
people have -been building temporary
houses on the old sites, ihe new struc
tures are now in danger. There are
heavy rains today in the country
drained by the Tia Juana river, which is
alread a raging torrent, and should the
rains continue long serious results may
follow.

THE BOP LOUSE.
Th Hangry Insect Is Said to be Doing
a Great Deal of Damage.
Hop growers in the vicinity of Butte-
ville are considerably discouraged since
the late rains," said Mr. George
Herrin yesterday. "Before '-. the. rain
the hop lice were not bad and many hop
yards were almost entirely free from
them. Since the rain every field of hops
swarm with them. No one knows how
they spread so fast, but the hop growers
say they seem to have risen ont of the
ground in swarms. The hop louse re
sembles too closely the aphis, common
on rose bushes, that only an expert can
tell one from the other. They do not in
crease much in warm weather, and if
the under side of a leaf covered with
them be turned to the hot sun they will
be roasted beiore tney can crawl to the
shady side of the leaf. But in cloudy or
rainy weather, they thrive and multiply
very last:
The people are nard at work spraying
the vines, fumigating them with sulphur
and trying every way to abate the
pest, but the lice continue to increase
and climb higher all the time. They are
tound on tne lower -part or the vines
first, and a number of people have
turned sheep into their hop yards which
eat off the leaves as far up as they can
reach. This, it was thought, might fool
the lice which; finding no leavas on the
lower part oi the vines to start in on
might fall to the ground or . pass on to
some other yard. sut it doesn t work ;
the lice get there all the same. They
get on the lower leaves m sight and be
gin to climb. Some, who noticed that
the lice had vanished from the lower
part of the vines, immagined they had
gone, but on searching they found the
whole delegation near tne top ot the
vines. Just what is going to be the result
no one can tell. It may be that it
will be necessary to harvest lousy hops,
as from all reports there are no yards
free from them. When the lice get into
the hops they damage their appearance
and market value, but it is not known
that they destroy the virtue of them
Dealers have quit making advances to
the hop growers, as there is no certainty
that tne hops win be oi any value.
Some of the grower say they will turn
sheep into their yards hereafter. They
think that clearing ofF the lower leaves
will have some effect in checking the
increase of the lice, and will also benefit
the crop by giving more strength to the
upper portion oi tne vines, it tne lice
put a stop to hop raising it will have a
very serious effect on those who have
been engaged in that industry, as it will
not only do away with a profitable cro;
but will lessen the value of the lan

Two Instintlons Combined and
a New
Principal Appointed.
Dallas, Or., Aug. 14. The trustees of
La Creole academy met yesterday, and
according to a prearranged programme
consolidated the academy with the pub
lic school, elecing J. W. Kieff principal
of the latter, to be director of the schools
thus consolidated. - The reason for this
move is that the academy is in deb'
for the new building. The public school
district needed more room, and unless
the schools are consolidated the direct'
ors will have to build an addition to the
old schoolhouse. La Creole academy in
its day and -generation, has had a wide
field of usefulness, and its alumni num
bet many men and women prominent
in professional, business and social me
The trustees also decided to lease a por
tion of the academy campus to a wagon
factory, which will give employment to
quite a number of men.
