Mr. V. A. Vanhoy of Goldendale gave
this office a pleasant call today.
A. C. Kelsay and G. H. G4esan of An
' telope are registered at the Umatilla
house.
The regular monthly meeting of the
common council Will be held tonight,
commencing at the usual hour.
The Chronicle office is indebted to
the courtesy of Messrs. E. Jacobsen &
Co., for the present of a handsome glass
paper weight.
a ' .Louis Rorden left last night for a trip
to his native home the island of Fobr in
'the North Sea, which he has not seen for
twenty years. .
Farley & Frank were putting the fin
t ishing touches yesterday on a new and
magnificent set of single buggy harness
with rubber gold-lined mounting, for
Mr. O. Savage of this'city.
There is a sofa pillow at the house of
Mr. Joseph Beezley which was rescued
from the fire and which yet awaits an
owner. It is made of 6ilk crazy patch
work and is stuffed with chicken feath
ers. A pocket book has been found on the
streets of The Dalles, and left at this of
fice, that appears to belong to Henry
Houser of Dufur. It contains notes and
memoranda of no apparent value except
to the owner. .
There is a strike today, of the Albina
switchmen and in consequence no freight
trains have come up from Portland.
The men justly want pay for overtime
which the company, it is said, has here
tofore leen unwilling to grant.
C. L. Phillips called today at this of
ce and said, "I see people are donating
various things, for the benefit of the band
boy's ball. I'll give the use of my lungs
for the night, as a caller, free of charge."
Next, but don't all speak at once.
Last Monday afternoon as St. Peter
was taking his customary siesta he left
the gates of heaven ajar, when a ten
pound angel of the male persuasion
crept through and slid down on a falling
star into the house of H. Stoneman of
this city.
The Dalles, Portland and Astoria Nav
igation company have rented -and intend
to nse as an office the Savage building
on the northeast' corner of Court and
Main streets. This will place the office
at a convenient distance from the boat
landing.
An alarm of fire at 9 o'clock this morn
ing called the fire boys to the Savage
, building, on the north east corner of
. , Court and Main, the old office of the de
funct Columbia s Navigation company,
out of which there rolled huge volumes
of dense blinding -smoke. The smoke
was first observed by Judge Condon, who
broke in the door and found the fire con
fined to a lot of bed clothes lyinj on the
floor, which were summarily ejected
into the street without any damage hav
jng been done to the building. The or-r
-t i gin of the fire -was without doubt ac
cidental. . Some one must have been in
" 4be building a short time before, and, it
is natural to suppose, may have thrown
down the end of a lighted cigar or cigar-
tte. At anr rate there was no evidencA
of incendiarism and fortunately, beyond J
the destruction of the bed clothes and
mattress, no other damage was done.
A brace of drunks were caged last
night and mulcted in the usual amount
by the recorder this morning.
L. W. Legrand of Columbia precinct,
leaves in the morning for Alseye Bay,
where he intends to remain, for the ben
efit of his wife's' health, till next sum
mer. R. B. Gilbeth has rented his ranch for
the coming season and will leave with
his family on the Regulator, in the
morning, for Corvallis where he imtends
to reside till next harvest.
' A meeting of the stockholders of the
Wasco warehouse company was held this
afternoon at 3 :30 p'clock in the office pf
French & Co., for the purpose of electing
directors for the ensuing year.
Joles Brothers claim they have two
sizes larger than the largest coffee mill
in town. They have just placed on one
of their counters a very handsome cigar
show case, filled with the best the mar
ket affords in that line.
Mr. H. Herbring returned from New
York last evening, where he has been
purchasing a new stock of fall goods.
Mr. Herbring left The Dalles about
twelve hours before the big fire on the
2nd inst. and did not hear of it till he
was" about 300 miles this side of Omaha.
He immediately telegraphed here and
finding his store was safe, proceeded on
his journey. "
Superintendent Farley Will Resign His
Charge in Another Month.
A meeting of the state portage rail
way commissioners was held yesterday
afternoon in the St. Charles hotel for the
purpose of hearing the report of Super
intendent Farley. The board discussed
the freight schedule formulated by Mr.
Farley and unanimously approved it
It was the sense of the meeting that the
rates fixed by Mr. Farley are not too
high for the present. .
Supersntendent Farley ;s report
showed that the portage road is almost
completed, with the exception of the ex
trenie ends of the two inclines. This
work cannot be finished at present, ow
ing to the high state of the water,
Some anchoring will also have to be
done in order to hold the trestles down,
in the emergency of extreme high water.
The road can be operated, however, and
it is being operated with the aid of the
government engine used in the construc
tion of the locks. -
Although the road is equipped with a
good gravity system and a plentiful
supply of water, Superintendent Far
ley deems -it advisable to carry from
'$20,000 to $25,000 insurance. He there
fore had the plant insured for $22,000.
Superintendent Farley places the
running Expenses of the portage road at
$1000 a month and figures that the
earnings of the road will amount to
about $1800 a month. He arrives at'
this conclusion from the amount ,of
freight now passing to and from The
Dalles.
Iii concluding his report Superintend
ent Farley says that he .feels certain
that the state has secured a good port
age system for transporting freight
across the obstructions to navigation at
the Cascades, and that the people of
Eastern Oregon have secured all the re
lief they asked for. He asks to be re
leased from the onerous duties of. the
superintendency on the fir.pt of Novem
ber or sooner if possible. As for the
cost of the road, he expressed the opin
ion that it could be completed without
going to the limit of the $60,000 ap
propriation.
The present portage system is oper
ated by a crew of nine men. The rol
ling stock consists of twelve flat cars
und four box cars, put here at a cost
of $8500. The engine that was shipped
from Philadelphia on the 12th of this
month cost $4800. and bv tha time it
gets here, freight included, it will cost
nearly fliuw.

. A man by the name of Gaskel baa
been ; working the" Dufur . neighborhood
by obtaining additions to the member
ship of an alleged . association whose
members have the privilege of buying
everything 'at the lowest wholesale price
in consideration of the purchase of a
certificate of membership, which he
offers at the price of six dollars. Gaskell
offers to furnish the Weekly Chbomiclb
(so we are informed) to members of the
association for a dollar a year and the
other papers of the city for a dollar and
a half each. The Times-Mountaineer
denied some time ago, having made any
such arrangement with anybody. The
managers of the Sun made a similar as
sertion - today to a Chronicle corres
pondent, and the Chbqnicll knows
nothing of Gaskel whatever. . He. has no
authority from this office to represent
himself as its agent. The safest plan; is
to steer clear of him altogether. Pur
chasing agents don't do business that
way.1 They are always too glad to get
patrons, without charging them a -premium
for the privilege of becoming such.
A purchasing agent always gets his com
mission from the party from' which be
makes bis purchases, no matter how low
he may furnish the goods. , .

'Twill Take Fifty Tears to Finish the
Iiocka.
The editor of the Oregon Express
lately visited the Cascade Locks and the
way he writes them up would impress
one with the conviction thaf the whole
works are simply intended as a monu
ment to the gentlemen in charge. Here
is what he says :
We have the words of a visitor, in ex
planation of this stone dressing opera
tion. He say 8 that it has been the pol
icy of gentlemen in charge of the work
from way back, to carve his monogram
on the corner stone at the base of the
wall. By the time the wall has assumed
definite shape his successor would be
designated, and the wall had to be
taken down, presumably to reach that
corner stone, which was taken out, the
monogram removed and that of the
new officer chiseled in its place. " The
Diocts ot stone are then dressed down to
fit the new proportions of the monogram
corner stone ; then all are again placed
in the wall, the structure rises possibly
a tier or so higher, according to the ap
propriation ; when another successor
appears, and the monogram business
undergoes a similar process; and thus
the "progress" of the locks moves on
while an impatient, long-suffering and
expectant public, ignorantly hoping, are
lead to believe that it is the stupendous
magnitude of the. undertaking which
causes the repeated delays and conse
quent failure of hopes long deferred.
Of course this is a "fake" but the Ex
press man solemnly places on record his
conviction that the locks and canal are
not one-fourth finished and that at the
present state of "progress" it will be
fifty years before a boat or even a barge
will pull through them If one ever does.
