LOCAL BREVITIES.
"Mr.' and Mrs. J. H. Sherar are in the
.city.
Mr. John End and eon of Wauiic gave
the Chronicle office a pleasant call
today.
:" At a late camp-fire held by the mem
bers of. the G. A. R., living at Hood
River, $800 was subscribed to build an
armory. "
J. J. Norman the superintendent of
the water works is so much improved in
health that he hopes to be able to re
sumo his duties by Monday morning.
The Chronicle is much pleased to
learn that the health of Hon. E. L.
Smith is much improved and that hopes
are entertained of his complete recovery.
The Dalles lire engine has been
brought back from Portland where it
was sent some time after the fire' for
repairs. It was tested yesterday and
found to work all right.
The many friends of Charles Stubling
will find him nest door west of the old
Cermania saloon where he is prepared
to furnish his customers with the best of
everthing the trade affords.
Eighty-nine pupils are enrolled in the
public school at Hood River. - Every
seat is occupied and there is not room
for another pupil. - The Gtacier urges
the building of a new schoolhouse.
, S. E. ' Farris left tliis morning for
Yakima City where he expects to remain
for about three weeks,.'. His father and
. mother have proceeded him. there and
intend to remain during .. the - coming
winter. . ' : .
They have a man in Pendleton who
bids fair to solve the toyn cow problem.
He lives in the lower end of town and
makes a business of milking all the stray
cows that come his .way. ' It has been
suggested that be be appointed pound
master, and take his pay in milk.
We have been assured by several who
were present at the meeting of the board
of portage commissions that the board
. were very emphatic in expressing their
thanks and-acknowledgements to Mr.
Farley for his valuable and efficient
services in connectioYi with the construc
tion of the Cascade portage.'
Stacy Shown, for a long time in the
employ of W. E. Garretson, the jeweler,
has branched out for himself . and has
opened a place of business in Dunham's
drug store for the repairing of watches
and jewelry at reasonable living rates.
Stacy is a good boy and he will undoubt
edly get a share of public patronage. -
Baker City held an election last Mon
day when C. A.' Johns was elected mayor
by a majority of fifty-one over his oppo-
, ment Mayor McCord who, has 4ield the
office for the pa6t four years. .The elec-
tion was conducted under the new state
law the Australian ballot system, and
the Baker City papers speak of it as
having given entire satifaction.
The regular November term of circuit
court will convene here next Monday.
. A more than usual number of criminal
cases will come before the grand jury
and over a hundred civil cases are on the
docket. The session is expected to last
a couple of weeks but Judge Bradshaw
fs a rustler and may get through in less
time.
Fall plowing has commenced on Tygh
Ridge. '
We regret to learn that Stock Inspector
Rice has . been obliged to resign his
office on account of protracted illness.
He expects to spend the winter in Cali
fornia.
The story is told quite freely across the
river that the alliance of No. 6 precinct
in Klickitat county after passing a num
ber of solemn resolutions to support the
Regulator at all costs just as solemnly
and far more seriously clubbed together
ami sold 30,000 bushel of wheat to a buyer
at Columbus, who of course shipped it
by the Union Pscific's cars.
Dr. W. M. Lee of Hartland, deputy
master of the Washington state .grange,,
gave this office a pleasant call today.
The doctor has just returned from the
northern part of his own state where he
has been having good success in organiz
ing granges. . He called to say that he
is a reader and a'dmirer of the Chronicle
and is much , pleased with the course it
is taking in all matters relating to the
well being.ofthe farming classes. The
doctor promises to favor the readers of
the Chronicse with a communication,
now and then, and we shall- try and
keep him to his word.
James Brown of Tygh Valley returned
last night from a five weeks trip to the
East whither he went with 24 head of
horses and four colts. He reports hav
ing sold his stock at good prices but the
expenses were so heavy that they ate up
nearly all the profits. Still he got more
than he could here for horses, taking
into account all expenses, which
amounted to about $22.50 a head. He
expects to go back on a similar errand
as soon as he has a sufficient number of
horses to make it worth while. Mr.
Brown advises all shippers to be sure
they have the freight bill fixed solid l)e
fore leaving as the Union Pacific, true to
its character, charged him at both ends.
After giving the company all they asked,
at this end of the line, he had to pay
$23 extra at the other. That is the
game the company played on young
Freeman the other 3ay when they charged
him $70 extra and when he refused
to nay it and took the horses out of the
car they had him arrested for grand
larceny. But this is not all. They gave
Mr. Brown at The Dalles' a pass to
Omaha and a half fare return pass but
when he got back to Omaha they would
not recognize his pass at all and he had
to pay regular rates. Next time Mr.
Brown goes East he don't go by the
Union Pacific, if he knows himself. ' V

Editor of the Chronicle: ' -
Cold weather and rain appear to have
made us a visit to stay for a while, and
the rain, which. is just What the farmers
want, is starting the wheat and grass
very nicely. Farmers are bringing their
summer work: to' a close after reaping a
pleasant harvest. Several of the boys
are returning home from their summer
work to spend the winter on their farms.
Among those returning home are Mr.
E. Wellburg and Mr, William Johnson,
who have spent the summer at Bridal
Veil. They look bright and as happy as
larks, which . leads us to conclude that
they were not very much abused while
away.
' We are very sorry to hear that Mrs.
Lee Evans is very ill, and we sincerely
hope for her early recovery.
Miss Carrie Davenport, daughter of
Louis Davenport, has returned home for
an indefinite period of time. Mrs. Kline
of The Dalles is visiting at Mr. Daven
port's- t . . ' -. ; ... . -- -:
1 Mr. S. R. Husbands; accompanied by
his wife,, has gone to Portland on busi
ness. 1 Mrs. Husbands, who has been
seriously ill at several different times in
the, "past six weeks,-- hopes to benefit her
health by the change and it is to be
hoped that she may. -
Mr, T. R. Coon, who has recently
planted on what is known as the Brown
farm here from fifty to' 100,000 straw
berry plants, has cheering prospects !
ofra good first crop of berries in the
coming spring. Then I guess we will
all know where to go for strawberries
and 'cream. ".''''.'".'
' Mr. John Miller is erecting a very rice
mansion on his farm, near his father's.
That's the kind of a spirit it gives a man
to get. married. Oh ! If I were a man
I'd get married too.
- We are all looking for Mr. Dunsmore,
our road, supervisor, to make us a visit
and send us out to work. That is what
we might call working for our country.
I tell you what, I am going to try and
get my papa to stand by the Regulator.
It. is the finest piece of business accom
plished this season and all are pleased
to see that she is making much better
time up the river than usual.. Every
one at Mosier will travel via the Regu
lator. We don't care about the -difference
of twenty or twentv-five cents on
the wagon load of wheat. Money is no
object to us. The Regulator is the ob
jeet that we have in view' now. '
Since I penned these last few lines I
have learned of the return of Mr. and
Mrs. Husbands. They report very wet
weather at Portland. Mrs. Husband's
health is much improved by the change.
M. G.
The Regulator has reduced freight
rates. - Win. Butler & Co., 'the new lum
ber dealers have reduced prices on lum
ber so that building can be done at a less
cost than at any time in the history of
The Dalles. . 10-29-tf.
Superintendent Farley'- Report
, Salem, Or., November 3, 189L
To Honorable Sylvester Pennoyer, O. W.
ifcBrtde and Phil. Metschan, constitu
ting the Board of Portage Commis
sioners : '
Gentlemen I herewith submit to you
a short monthly report and also offer a
few suggestions for .your 'action, and
trust the same will - have your earliest
attention. The total earnings of the
portage up to November 1, 1891 (not in
cluding 60 cents collected by con
ductor for traffic of passengers from
Union Pacific boats at upper incline to
top of grade) are $782.56. .This includes
the whole earnings of October and the
seven days of September for which you
will find attached a draft in favor of the
state secretary for the amount. The state
has expended for extra help in handling
freight at west incline, owing to the
same not being completed, the sum of
$267.79, The summary attached shows
fully the amount. :
- This is for the board to say whether
the state or the transportation company
is to bear this expense or whether both
are to bear it. In either of the two latter
cases, then I wish to know so as to col
lect the amount , agreed upon by the
board. , ..-
The board will also find attached a
summary of the earnings of the road in
each classification. I have gone through
this hurriedly and perhaps there might
be a few small errors but nothing of any
great consequence. The board will also
find all passengers' tickets and freight
bills up to November 1, 1891, by which
tiiey can find at any moment the earn
ings of each day . I will state to the board !
it is my intention to commence the com
pletion of the west incline on Monday,
November 9th and trust to have it fin
ished in from eighteen to twenty days
from that date, " and then there
will be no extra handling of freight re
quired. . ' . '
I wish , to state to the board that I
think the tariff should . immediately be
modified so as to have possibly only five
classifications of tariff so as to avoid labor
and mistakes and still the state make
the same amount of revenue. I think
the portage charges are as large as any
transportation company can afford to
pay and still I don't think the transpor
tation companys should find any fault.
Should the board conclude to modify the
tariff and retain the rates as they are, it
will be essential for the board to try , to
reduce the operating expenses so as to
to come within the limits of the earnings.
Therefore I would suggest the" following
as a summary for thatgpurpose, showing
your liabilities monthly.

This is to perform and do all the ser
vice that two boats will make for the
portage, and, if more boats are employed
only add a 'small additional sum to your
monthly account. I assure the board I
can tell very closely now about what it
will cost to operate the road and feel
verv confident in what I am advising. I
venture to say if it was possible for the
board to let this work by contract that
myself and others will give a good bond
to do the service for $650 a month and
keep all the property in good order. . I
don't think it wise for the board to
further employ a superintendent at $150
a anonth as the work of construction is
about completed and it is unnecessary to
expend this large sum every month if it
can be saved and I assure you, gentle
men, I have done my best in your ser
vice to give you a good substantial 'road
and as low as it could be built, and now
uiy desire is to see it pay, even if opposed
by large railroad corporations. .
In conclusion allow' me to call your
attention to your -condemnation suit
which comes up in this -term of court
which must have your attorney general's
immediate attention. '-

" WASCO ACADEMV NOTES.
The academy nine were again doomed
to disappointment last Saturday. .They
were at the ball-ground as agreed but no
one appeared, to "teach them how to
play."- In consequence, after an hour
of waiting, the game was called and for
feited to them by the customary score of
9 to 0. " . -
Scarcely a morning passes without
some one of the teachers being made the
recipient of a lovely bouquet by one of
the students. Gifts of flowers are
always indicative, of kindly feelings and
received with pleasure.
It seems 'very strange that almost
none of the patrons of the school ever
visit it during its regular sessions so -as
to know from personal observation, the
progress which their children are mak
ing - and the methods of instruction
employed. . Possibly they tnink they
would be unwelcome guests. If so they
are ' certainly much mistaken '. for the
remark is often made : "I do wish some
of the parents or directors would' visit
my classes a"iid see their work.''
There are some persons who are , too
modest to let their real merit and ability
be known. Miss Holcombe, our present
teacher of art,, is one of the number.
One would never judge from her own
statamcnt8 that she was an unusually
skillful artist, but her work ' evinces
' talent of a very high degree ; besides the
statements of her former instructors
reveal the fact tnat ehe was considered
fiinong their few really successful pupils.
While her special forte lies in crayon
work she is thoroughly familiar with
both oil and water-color painting.. .

A Favorite Remedy.
Chamberlain's 'Cough Remedy is a
favorite during the winter months on ac
count of its great success in the cure of
colds. There is nothing that will loosen
a severe cold so quickly, or as promptly
relieve the lungs. Then, it counteracts
any tendency toward pneumonia. It is
pleasant and safe to take, and fully
worthy of its popularity. For sale by
