Major Ingall Wants More Fralt and Flowers for tne Iortland Exposition. . ine U11I10NICI.B nearniv kwuuj efforts of Major Ingalls in his efforts to keep up the good appearance of our ex hibit at the Portland Exposition till the close, by renewals of fruit and flowers and earnestly urges those who can do so to respond to his request in the fol lowing letter which is self explanatory. Portland, Or., Oct. 9. 1891. , Editor Chronicle: ' As the 1st premium has been awarded to Wasco county for the best exhibit of fruit' at the exposi tion, and as there are nine days yet re maining of the exposition and the num ber of visitors in attendance will in crease from the present until the close, the exhibit from Wasco county should be kept in good condition. Much of the fruit has to be thrown away daily be cause of decay. Will you please urge your readers and ask the good ladies of The Dalles and vicinity, to help me keep up the good name of Wasco connty by urging all who have choice fruit to send in some on Monday and Tuesday next sure, also to send in some choice boquets for the Wasco county table and one for the superintendent's office. The citizens of Portland will appreciate this effort I assure you. I have worked for the past two months as well as I knew how, to further the in interests of Wasco county and especially since this exposition has opened. Pleas ask your good citizens to support nay present and last effort to show up some of your resources. This is the best med ium of advertising your section that has been offered and I hope it will be im proved, I am now an Oregonian no longer a "tourist," and I hope to see the editors of all The Dalles newspapers here before the close of this the best ex position ever held in Portland. I would urge , a large attendance of citizens at the exposition from your city and county the coming week, and thus compliment the successful management of Portland's b: st exposition arid ' Superintendent R. W. Mitchell. Wasco's true friend. . G. W. Ingalls. I : ' Composition on Animals. The following composition was picked up on the Bake Oven road near Salt Springs, by our friend M. Geo. A. Young and handed us for publication. Whether it is the fruit of the budding genius of some Eastern Oregon cowboy or a servile copy of the latent talent of the effete east we cannot tell but here she is : There are a great many kinds of ani mals; such as the rat-terrier, and the rhinoceros, and the coon, and the orang outang, and the opossum, and the poll parrot and a few others. The dog is a -very useful animal. He can play tricks and howl when anybody is going to die. The pig is a very inter esting animal also. He is not so nice a house-keeper as some other folks, but he is very useful in the "buckwheat cake and sausage" season. - The locust is composed principally of a voice, the rest of him is not worth noticing. A rabbit is not so big as an elephant but he can run faster. Why is an elephant like a summer boarder? because he takes his trunk with him. I made up that conundrum to put in this composition. A porcupine is a very curious animal. Judging from his apperance, I do not' believe he would make a very comfortable bed-fellow. He appears to be too proud, that is, too much stuck up. mA cat is a domestic animal, Our cat 6nce got into a pan of dough and made a mess of it, and mother got after her with a stick. This is why she is called a dough-mess-stick animal. A mosquito is not so large as a man, but if there is a difference of opinion be tween them, and the man wants to sleep and the mosquito, don't 'want him to, you may be sure -the misquito will come off victorious. The zebra is a little horse, painted with black & white stripes. He is principally useful to put in the primer to illustrate the letter "Z." Animals are very useful to the circus 'cause the minister & his wife, & the deacon and his wife, and their grown up relations can all go to take the baby to see the animals. The cow is an animal having four legs, one on each corner of her. She also has two horns, but she cannot make as much noise with them both as a small boy can at Christmas time with only one. This is the end of my composition. A .False Report Contradicted. The incalculable injury that an irre sponsible and vicious newspaper can do to its own town is well illustrated by a letter that we saw today which was sent from a large San Francisco firm of un derwriters to an agent in this city. The letter says: "We understand that a proposition to bond your city for a rea sonable amount of money for the express purpose of improving yOur water system was voted down. The sequel is the loss of more than' ten times ' the amount of money that the enterprising citizens asked for." So far as the people of The Dalles are concerned this statement needs no contradiction, but for outsiders it may be said that it is utterly false. The city has been bonded for $125,000 to put in a complete gravity system that will give a pressure on the mains in the business part, of the city of a hundred pounds to the square inch. The work is now nearly finished and when com pleted, we 'will have as good a water system for fire protection and as good a quality of water and a supply as abund ant as can be found in any city of the same size. in the state of Oregon. Preparing for Winter. - The' Union Pacific company has a number of laborers employed in repair ing the road between The Dalles and the Cascade Locks, Bridges are' being newly braced, new timbers put in, worn rails replaced and the roadbed receiving a general overhauling. The company intends to have the road in good condi tion before the winter sets in, thus re ducing the ' possibility of accident to a minimum. It will require considerable work to put the road in first-class con dition, but Superintendent Baxter pro: poses to rush it along as speedily as possible.' 9. B. Medicine and Gain-making. Phillip Knowles, the energetic agent of the S. B. Manufacturing company is in the city. He has just returned from a tour month's trip through the towns of Washington and Idaho and reports the most flattering success in the sales of the S. B.jnedicines. , The trip through Washington was the second he has made through that state and he found his former customers perfectly enthusiastic in the praises of the medicines. In the city of Spokane he gave away 6000 sam ple bottles and in Boise City, Idaho, hap pening to be there during the time of the Forepaugh circus he distributed 5000 bottles. While at Nampa City, Idaho, Mr. Knowles saw Rain Producer Mel burn carrying out a contract he had made with the citizens to produce a given number of inches of rain to ex tend over a territory, of sixty miles in diameter. Mr. Knowles says this effort was a complete success. It was one day about six weeks ago when Melburn ar rived in Nampa City. The citizens pro cured a ladder which - was leaned up against the city bank. Melburn climbed it and pitched a small tent on the roof. Through the roof of the tent an ordinary stove pipe was projected and this is all that the public were permitted toee of Melburn's working machinery. When all was ready some black clouds hovered over the town which indicated rain, but Melburn refused to do anything till they had rolled away. When the sky became perfectly clear Melburn's brother an nounced to the crowd of onlookers that he was ready to bet f 800 to $100 that it would rain within a certain number of hours. -Bets were made freely on both sides, but the rain came in extent and quantity as Melburn had predicted. 'A Pleasant Time. The band boy's ball last night was one of the most enjoyable seasons that the pleasure seekers of this city have had for many a day. About 150 tickets were sold and this amount represents the net proceeds, as everything was furnished the boys gratis. Dancing commenced about nine o'clock and lasted' till the hour of two this morning, when the program ended with a charming medley by the string band which gently glided into the soft and tender tones of "Home Sweet , Home," as the , happy : com pany . marched out of the ball room to their respective homes. - A striking feature of the occasion was John Booth's lemonade stand where the little darkey '-'Jimmy" furnished an exquisite glass of ice cold lemonade to everyone that asked for it. The stand was in the northwest . corner of the ball room, cov ered by a little fairy canopy draped' in red. . A piano lamp with a red shade made. all the surroundings red red ex cept only Jimmy's immaculate white apron which refused to succumb to the general effect. Conspicuously on the apron were the red figures "62" which indicated the number of Mr. Booth's store on Second street. Jimmy's breast was adorned with a big red bouquet, and a neater little waiter never served lemonade from a washtub. Give U a Hard One. The Times-Mountaineer asks : "If it cost $60,000 to build five-eigths of a mile of a portage railway,' what Wonld it cost to build a road eighteen and three-fourths miles long?" That's easy. Let us see. Five-eigths ' will go into 60,000 about thirty times, therefore it would cost about thirty times as much, because' there would have to be thirty crews of men to build it, with thirty times the present number of superin tendents, and clerks, and thirty locomo tives, and thirty times sixteen cars, and thirty round houses, and thirty switches at each end and thirty inclines at each end and thirty wharf boats at each end, and thirty times three acres of land and thirty office buildings and thirty shops and thirty water systems and thirty superintendents' houses and thirty car sheds and thirty blank fools like the editor , of the Times-Mountaineer to-lie about the work. ' . - A Cardaof Thanks. The band boys of this city desire to extend their very ' sincere"' thanks to the many friends whose generosity made the ball of last night such a complete success. They desire specially to name Colonel Sinnott, who generously gave the -use of the ball room, and Jolin Booth ;who furnished an abundance of cooling temperance' drinks without money and without price. But it is with special gratitude that they ac knowledge the services of the Bettingen String Band which contributed more than anything else to the enjoyment of the night. Signed. ' Bas!1. Boys. Unadulterated Gall. "During the past season The Dalles, by reason of the- heroic treatment ad ministered to her business men in the columns of the Times. Mountaineer for the past nine years has aroused itself to action and has placed a boat on the middle and another on the lower river." Times-Mountaineer. . As a specimen of . pure unvarnished gall nothing was ever written by human pen to equal the above. . The influence' that our contemporary wielded in the matter of placing boats on the river may be estimated when it is said" that he has scarcely a friend. in the world that ever cv - put a dollar into the v scheme. A 'Railroad Over the Barlow Pass. .Two parties are now in the field doing preliminary work for' the 1 -Hand '& Sonthcrland road,' which 'wo.-' -ecently incorporated at Portlands It is not known what route will be selected. It is reported that it will be built across the mountains to a connection with the Union Pacific at or near Huntington. It is also hinted that the company will ultimately connect with the Nevada, California and Oregon, which wants a northern connection. It is stated that the company will build first to Mar quam, in Clackamas county, a distance of about thirty -five miles. " From there it will go through a pass in the Cascade mountains near Eagle creek. The road will be a standard gauge, and its esti mated cost will be between $18,000 and $20,000 a mile, tit will be nearly 300 miles long. . Church Notice. M.
