H. M. Pitman of Dufur, honored the Chbonicle office with a visit today. Mr. J. W. Cox of Kingsley was in the city yesterday and left for his home this morning. Tom Foley, for a long time employed at the 'company's shops in this city, has gone to Albina. It is estimated that the wheat crop of Morrow county for the season will be double the value of the wool crop. General reports from, the beef markets are encouraging for cattle growers. They well deserve an advance in prices. Mr. -H. F. Dietzel who - has been sojourning for the past six months in Portland came up to day on a short visit to his relatives. . Major Ingalls received today from Sheriff Leslie of Sherman . county a beautiful specimen of, petrified wood for "Oregon on wheels." Married, today at Hood River, Mr. Laurence N. Blowers to Miss Bertha E. Mifflin. The Chboniclb wishes .the young couple many happy days. A private communication from Stock Inspector Rice informs us that he ex pects to be in The Dalles sometime be tween the first and tenth of September. The Baker City papers are protesting against the indecencies of the demi - monde of that city and demand that the city officers do their duty in suppressing . them. Frank Wilkinson, of Eugene, a lad of fifteen, had the three fingers of his right hand mashed the other day in the cogs of a cider mill. They had to be ampu tated near the knuckle. ' The Chbonicle is indebted to Pro fessors Synder and Gilbert, of Hood River, for valuable services rendered . during the meeting of the teacher's institute. From Mr.- George Rice of Boyd, we learn that his grain crop just threshed, yielded 50 bushels pet acre of oats, 48 k of barley and 20 of wheat. The ground on which the grain was grown was sum mer fallow. We regret to learn that the Hon. E. O. McCoy of Grant, lost his infant child, of about seven month old, this morning. The cause of its death was cholera infan tum. Dr. Logan was called in but the child died before his arrival. ' Yesterday, the waiters of the Umatilla house went on a strike for an advance of wages. The colonel could not see it in the light and the strikers were fired. Men were easily procured to fill their place, ind in a day or two everything will be going along as before. ' A private communication to a gentle man in this city gives the information that George Gant, well known around here and Prineville and also in Corvallis, as an importer of Clydesdale horses was instantly killed by lightning at Pratt, Kansas, on Tuesday the 18th inst. We are very "reliably informed that in about rairty days Eastern Oregon and Washington, will experience about such another wheat blockade as the Palouse section had last year. The Gazette hopes, however, that this will provo to be .-nothing but idle rumor. Heppner Gazette. - Mr. Truman Butler, the new purser of the Regulator, returned from a ten day's trip to Portland .where he' had gone to gather all the information, he could obtain from pursers on other lines of boats, regarding the duties of his new office. . ; Maier & Benton the leading ice dealers received two more cars of the famous Cocolalla ice this morning. All reports that come to this office are to the effect that crops are turning out better than was expected before thresh ing. Scientists are responsible for the statement that the Anglo-American jaw is much smaller than it was a few generations back. Must have been worn down talking politics. . The president of The Dalles Board of Trade received a telegram today from Senator Labor, president of the Denver Chamber of Commerce . asking this board to co-operate, with other boards of trade in urging the appointment of some person west of tne one hundredth merid ian to fill a vacancy in the- interstate commerce commission. Yesterday was a big day with the Chinese in this city. Chinese flags and streamers were floating in the air fn the Chinese quarters, and the ceremony of offering roast pig, cold chicken, rice, fruit, gin etc., to the manes of their an cestors or to their ancestral gods, (we don't know which and question if they know- themselves!, was observed with becoming pomp. They call it "Chinese Free Mason Day" and the ceremony of pouring out oblations of gin on the ground in front of or rather behind, the roast pig, burning pieces of paper previously offered, that is, waved at the tail of the- pig, and the lighting and extinguishing of tapers, bowing and waving the clasped hands, the whole accompanied by a monotonous nasal chant was at once weird and strange to one who had never seen the performance before. At night they gathered on the beach and repeated' the -performance which they had observed in an empty store on Front street during the day. Quite a "number of citizens watched the performances in both places, with ap parent interest. Valuable Ideas and Suggestions. First thing following the noon recess yesterday was the subject of language and grammar. The instructor gave some valuable ideas and suggestions, espec ially to the young teachers. Had your reporter had the advantages in youth of such instructions and methods as have been advanced ' in this institute, he would have been, mentally, the richer for it. The next subject was that of history. The professor presented some good points, but digressed considerably from his sub ject before he bad finished, but this- ihe instructor could not help as the discus sion threw him off. In Proffessor Acker man's following subject, geography, the exercise consisted chiefly of geographi cal questions, interspersed with many pleasantries on the part of professors and teachers. At the close of the program a vote of thanks was extended to the in structors, responded to by Prof. Wetzell in a neat speech, as did also' Professors Ackerman and Smith, and Superintend ant Shelly. Just before the opening of the regular program, Prof. Ackerman met the climax of his life. . In a cool corner of the room near the organ the professor espied an innocent looking chair. In appearance this chair did not differ materially from other chairs, but the professor had no sooner sat upon the chair than, crash! The professor and chair were one total wreck, piled up in the corner, a wreck worse than ever the Union Pacific piled up. It is useless to say the institute paused long enough to enjoy a hearty laugh. In the regular vocal exercise Prof. Wetzell selected as his parting prayer for the teachers the hymn, "God be with you till we meet again" a most fitting hymn. Following this, Mrs. Wetzell entertained the teachers with two sweet solos, "The Day is done,'.' and "Darby and Joan." We hope her sweet voice and the professor's may cheer us in years to come. In the regular program, Prof. Acker man resumed his subject in mental ar ithmetic. Coming after this was Prof. Wetzell in the subject, reading. In this he furnished a great many good - ideas, especially as teaches the subject of sup plimentary reading in the fifth reader and after the forenoon recess, Prof. Ackerman took for his subject, physiology and hy giene, in which he illustrated some good devices for ventilating school-rooms, es pecially . for . countrv school houses. .When instructor Wetzell took the floor again, he had not recovered from" his en thusiasm on reading, and took the re mainder of. the forenoon for finishing his subject. : - Dr. Slddell Returned. ' Dr. Siddell returned last night from a month's trip to Victoria, San Juan is land and the Sound cities generally. The doctor reports having had a most enjoy able time. He met many an old friend and many an old patron for whom he 'had done dental work twenty years ago, and had pressing invitations to remain and do work' for' them again; but the doctor, thinks, take it' for all in ail, 'that there are few towns anywhere to' beat The Dalles, and notwithstanding the de lightful climate and charming people of ban Juan ana Victoria lie was glad to get back here.

Some Brilliant Speaking and Singing by Members of the Institute. 'The Congregational 'church "was crowded again last evening to witness the closing exercises of the Normal In stitute. The opening was a vocal quar tette "Merrily, Merrily goes the Bark," by the Glee club, well rendered as were all their exercises during the week. . Following came a very excellent paper by Aaron Frazier entitled "The Two Great Lessons." The two great lessons finally learned from the great Teacher are Life and Immortality. The next was a vocal duet by Mr. Ernst and Mr. W. S. Graham which was very good. Following this was a paper by M. W. Smith entitled "The Sanitary condition of our school-rooms," which contained some telling hits with reference to foul air breathed by, the pupils of our public schools, and the faulty construction of school-houses. ' A duet followed by Miss Rowland and Mr. Mason, mandolin and guitar. This received a hearty encore-. . . Next came the report of the committee on resolutions, in substance as follows: A vote of thanks was given, to those who entertained the teachers, to the trustees and pastor of the Congregational church, to the musicians of The Dalles, and Mrs. WeEzell, to W. H. Wilson, Dr. W. K Rinehart and Col. E. W. Nevius for lectures given, to Mrs. Sampson, Miss Meyer, and Mr. Ernst committee on music and program, to Misses Tena Ren toul, Melissa Hill, And Louisa Rentoul and Rev. E. P. Roberts, committee on entertainment, to The Dalles, and to Supt. Shelly for efficient management of the institute. A resolution of sympathy was also offered to the family of the late Etta McKay j -.one-of Wasco county's teachers who was recently removed by death. . v - ' "Farewell to the mountains'' by: the Alki club was next rendered by a class of young ladies. ' , . Next followed a few earnest words of council from Superintendent Shelly in which he emphasized the necessity of educating the entire nature of the pupil moral, physical . and mental. Mrs. Wetzel followed with a musical selection which was rendered in her own charm ing style and was warmly, encored, .The program was wound up by recitation and tableau by. Miss .Jennie Long of. Port land. She was warmly encored and called out a second time. Miss Long is undoubtedly an elocutionist of marked ability and her selections were ably ren dered. She is , a lady of fine presence and has excellent control of voice and gesture and if her selections had been better adapted to the audience and: to the occasion her success, we have no doubt, would have been more marked. - Thus ended the last meeting, in con nection with an institute that all agree in characterizing as having been profit able, interesting and successful.

The construction of the American plant is said to have already been begun under the personal supervision of Mr. Leyson, Sr., who has succeeded in obtaining American rights in valuable patents for tinning sheets. ' This is regarded by many as the beginning of a general movement of tin plate and allied indus tries from Great Britain to America, a result of the new American tariff on tin plate. . . . . . One Cent Per Bushel. Wheat is carried from Chicago tc Buffalo, New York, 800 miles by water, or 500 miles by an air line, for oue cent per bushel, less than thirty-five cents per ton.
