UR. G. Sigmond, of Dufur, was in the city today. Mr. J. A. Gulliford, of Dufur, gave the Chronicle office a pleasant call Today. Irrigation is proving a great succes in Umatilla. It would be equally success ful here. C. S. Miller of Deschutes Bridge is in . the city on his way to his mines in Grant county. Two cars of beef cattle were shipped V ; last night from the stock yards for the ' Portland market. Mr. C. P. Marshall, proprietor of the Silver Lake hotel, Silver Lake, Harney county, is in the city. - Miss Ollie Huott is visiting her sisters Mrs. R. W. Barter and Mrs. H. Bulger of Portland. From there she will visit ' friends in Coryalis. Three prisoners broke from the Baker City jail, last Sunday night, by the old method of boring a hole through the brick wall of the jail. They had not - been arrested at last accounts. Leslie Buttler has on exhibition a ripe tomato which weighs thirteen ounces. It is of the tree variety and was grown in the garden of A. Bunnell in this city. Others much larger on the same vine Are not yet ripe. An old Bteamboat man remarked to the writer today that he had never seen a boat on the Columbia river that, tak ing her all in all, was built with better taste than the Regulator. She was handsome to a degree and roomy to an extent that deceived a person looking at her from the outside, while her engines and driving power were equal to the best, anywhere. A paragraph appeared in the Chkoni cle yesterday, relating to Colonel Sinnot having been an eyewitness to the only fight Abraham Liucoln was ever engaged in. The Colonel informs us that he had a telegram this morning offering him $500 for the manuscript of the story. The only manuscript of the story, as it was originally taken from the lips of the Colonel himself, is in this office and can be had for half the money. Yesterday afternoon, as freight engine No. 676 had made about two miles west of town with the No. 25 freight, one of the cylinder heads of the engine was blown out and the piBton wrenched off. The piston broke at an old flaw and ' every bolt in the front end of the cylin der was wrenched off. The engine was able to back the train into ' town, and after a little delay, start with part of its load for Portland. Dr. Rineheart, Dr. Doane and Judge Thornburry retnrned last night on the boat, from Trout Lake. D. L. Cates and I. J . Burgett will be back tomorrow. R. G. Closter came overland from Hood River. Dr. Rineheart, D. L. Coates and I. J. Burgett climbed Mount. Adams, taking with them a guide and Cates' u- flog Dick. They got back to camp next day completely worn out and bearing every evidence of having had a hard time. From all we can learn the whole party, while theyjhad an enjoyable time, did not catch fish enough . to make a ' good fish story out of. . Edison is now at work on an electric motor to replace the ordinary locomotive. It is designed to take up electricity from , a central rail and to develope at least 1000 horse-power. THE BOARD OF TRADE. The Portage Railway and Other Im provements Discussed. ' An adjourned meeting of the board of trade was held last night in the board of trade rooms at which there was a good, attendance considering the number of people out of town. The meeting was called to order by Mr. G. Blakeley. Mr. C. L. Phillips was appointed to collect membership dues which are now delinquent and an order was commanded to be drawn on the treasurer for the amount of the bill of Ward & Kerns some sixty-five dollars. Mr. T. A. Hudson spoke at some length on the subject of a portage rail road from this city to a point nearly op posite Columbus on the upper river. He recalled the fact that the railroad company, which was incorporated some time ago, to build a road from this city to the- Fossil coal mines, had incorpor ated as an entirely distinct company to build the portage. They had done so at the suggestion of the Portland chamber of commerce which thought it best not to entangle the affairs of a portage with any other scheme. It was well known a committee of the Portland chamber of commerce had viewed the new route and, while their report had not yet been made he was assured it would be favor able to the Oregon side of the river. Two expert engineers who accompanied the committee have pronounced the survey to be as good as they had ever seen. Mr. Hudson had no doubt the company would get aid from the Portland cham ber of commerce to build the road but he believed The Dalles should render what help it could. He did not think there would be sufficient trade for a line of boats, without, a portage connection with the upper river. He appreciated the fact that The Dalles had subscribed a good deal of money for the boat scheme, still he thought this city ought to do something, and if the new company could show that they could build the road The Dalles ought to help. He had no suggestion to make as to what ought to be done but The Dalles should at least give terminal grounds and right of way within the city limits. He sup posed an arrangement could be made at least to fix a through rate from the east ern terminus of the portage to Portland. Mayor Mays considered the subject be fore the board of the highest importance to the people of The Dalles. He had gone with the party who had viewed the new route and had been assured by Mr. Habersham, whose ability was of the highest order that the road could be built cheaper than most roads in Oregon and at comparatively small expense. We all know the worth of such a road to this city. The question is, What are we able to do? We have, it is well known had a hard time to get enough money to pay for our line of boats, still he was well assured The Dalles wonld do everything in its power. One thing was certain ; this road .would be the first railroad built in Oregon, and The Dalles should do everything in its power to assist it. D. W. French said : "We are all deeply interested in a portage road. We need a road, the Inland Empire needs it and Portland needs it ; yet Port land led us to believe they were going to contribute $10,000 for the new line of boats, and when it came to the pinch all she was willing to put in the scheme was $2,000 and we have been informed the remaining $8,000 cannot be raised. I do not believe that Portland is yet sufficiently alive to the importance of an open river to give $250,000 to have it accomplished. The Dalles will do all it can and if this portage road was once well started The Dalles will get in and help, but we cannot start so large a scheme ourselves. We have had a hard time to raise $60,000 for the new boats." Mr. A. J. Cooper had conversed with President Osborne about the two rival projects for portage facilities and Mr. Osborne said there was no compari son betweeu them, the road was so much easier of construction on the Oregon side. He thought The Dalles should make a proposition. Lieutenant Norton said, his company was not asking this board for a penny of money at present. The people of Port land would Bay, "What are your people doing at home?" and he wanted to know what answer to give. He would like to know what The Dalles was willing to do in the matter. B. S. Huntington believed that The Dalles would do what it ought, but he thought this meeting could not give an intelligent answer to Mr. Norton's question. He moved that a committee of three be appointed to confer with our leading citizens and ascertain, if possi ble, what might be expected. The mo tion prevailed and a committee was ap pointed consisting of D. W. French, B. S. Huntington and Judd Fish, with Thos. A. Hudson as secretary, the com mittee to report as soon as possible, to the portage company. Mr. Whealdon called attention to what the state board of immigration was doing to advertise the resources of the state and to the further fact that Eastern- Oregon was entitled to name one of the three persons about to be sent east witn the exhibit of Oregon products known as "Oregon on Wheels." Thefare of the nominee will be paid but he must donate his time free. He recommended Maj. G. W; Ingalls who is now charged with the" business of gathering the ex hibit and urged that the board of trade help Major Ingalls iu every possible way to make the exhibit a success, as far as Eastern Oregon' was concerned. G. V. Bolton called attention to the fact that the road to Klickitat near Rockland was covered, at one point, with a sand blow, so that it was impossible to haul heavy freight over it, and moved that the board of trade cooperate ', with the Klickitat county commissioners in bridging the sand. The motion prevailed and a com mittee consisting of Messrs. Fish, Bol ton and Whealdon was appointed to raise the necessary funds for the work and send them to the commissioners who will see the work accomplished. The meeting then adjourned. A Handsome Addition to the City. Through the courtesy of Mr. H. Her bring we were shown the other day the plans of the handsome Gothic church soon to be erected by the catholics of this cityj The building which will be of red brick will have an entire length of 110 .feet by forty in width, from outside to inside. It will be surmounted by a spire that will raise to a height of 160 feet. The foundation walls, which will be laid on the solid rock, will be of stone, and the excavation for the foundation is ex pected to begin in a short time so that part of the work may be finished before the winter sets in. The plan of the building is from an original drawing made by a celebrated German architect and was executed by Otto Kleeman of Portland. The building is expected to cost, when complete in the neighbor hood of $18,000; $6,500 of. which is al ready in hand and $10,000, in all, prom ised. Mr. Herbring remarked to the writer that the subscribers can greatly help the promotion of the work by com ing forward promptly with their pay ments. The building, when finished will be a credit to 'the city and to the church which intends to worship in it. A. J. Anderson, living three mile's west of The Dalles, brought in town this afternoon for "Oregon on Wheels" exhibit a box of egg plums, none of them measuring less than six inches, and many measuring seven and one-half inches in diameter. Also a fine lot of Little Petite, Silver and Hungarian prunes and a lot of Buffalo and Early Rose potatoes, the former averaging nearly two pounds each and will produce over 400 bushels per acre this season. We are glad to see our fruit men and farmers taking such interest in this op portunity to show up our country. Frank McFarland got back Monday eve from Hood River. While there he had a most enjoyable time fishing, catching the biggest trout that was ever landed with a hook and line in that vi cinity. It was twenty- nine inches long and weighed eight pounds. He used an ordinary hook and line and an eight ounce rod. Frank is beating bis own record, for last season he captured the largest trout ever taken out in that neck o' the woods up to that time. Trout Lake and Cloud Cap Inn are having quite a- number of visitors this year. Mr. McFarland will return to Hood River tomorrow. Heppner Gazette. ... From late and reliable information at hand it seems that we did the people of The Dalles an injustice in a paragraph recently published in these columns. We are assured that the unjust attacks on Col. Houghton are not approved by the people of that city- and should rest alone on a few soreheads. This being the case, our little article did many good people an injustice, and we humbly apoligise for our hasty words. But if the situation was as we understood it at the time, our statements were supremely correct. Capt. McCully, Co. I, in Wall owa Chieftain. Mr. and Mrs. John Vert returned Tuesday from Hood River, where Mrs. Vert has been visiting for several weeks at the home of Mrs. Roberts. Monday, Mr. and Mrs. Vert ascended Mt. Hood. On reaching the summit they found reg istered the names of several Pendleton ians, among them Judge and Mrs. Fee, Miss Nellie Fee, Miss Neva Lane and Rev. G. H. Lee, who made the ascent two years ago. The Hood river country they describe as a perfect paradise as a summer retreat. East Oregxmian.
