efforts of Major Ingalls in his efforts to
keep up the good appearance of our ex

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

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. .
