Freight trains' run through Main

than they used to, a reformation that
did not come a minute too soon. ;
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Young of Bake
Oven, Mrs. Agnes Hope of Cascade
Locks and Mr. H. A Pratt of Hood
River came up on the Regulator last
night.
Dick Palmer of Dnfur has discovered
some very promising gold bearing rock
somewhere in the Cascade mountains,
. the exact location of which, for prudent
ial reasons, he withholds for the present.
Ladies intending to contribute to the
supply of refrestuents for. the moon
light excursion on the Regulator to

Admission free.
The merchants of Goldendale having
pleged themselves to support- the Regu
lator, the covered flat boat intended for
the Hood River landing has been moved
over to North Dalles to accomodate the

Kiver in the near "future.
Just as we go to press Major , Ingalis
calls to say that owing to the excursion's
falling on Friday evening,' he will defer
his lectnre till the next evening, Satur
day. The major never likes to interfe're
with any good " work that the ladies are
connected with and he desires that they
ahall form the best part of his audience.
The ladies of the Good Intent society
of the M. E. Church are leaving nothing
undone that could add to the pleasure of
the excursion tomorrow evening,, and a.;
most enjoyable time is expected. Let it
not be said that this effort of these ex-j
cellent ladies to raise funds needed to
furnish tlfe church building soon to be
erected with seats and other necessary
furniture did not meet with success.
Mr. H. S. Ward of this city ; brought
into this office this morning' four apples
of the Red June variety of the second
crop of one of four trees now growing in
the orchard of K.. Stephens of Rock
Creek, Gilliam county. ' The apples are
from one-half to three-fourths the usual
size, are fully ripe, mellow and as well
flavored ' as -any x of the same variety
The four trees referred to bore a crop of
apples at the usual time and then blos
somed out for a second crop with the
above result. The apples are now on
exhibition in the Chronicle show
window.
A prominent lawyer of Goldendale
was "made the target of a little pistol
practice on Tuesday night last that made
it' for a time very . unfortable for the
target. A drunken fellow who has, or
thinks he has, a complaint against the
lawyer getting primed with bug juce
which raised his courage to the murder
point, staggered up to the. lawyer's win
dow while that gentleman was comfort
ably lying under his own blankets and
emptied the revolver into the room.
Fortunately no harm, was done, other
than that the lawyer and his wife were
badly scared. It's an an old trouble and
may . end in something serious some
other, day. .
WASCO ACADEMY NOTES.
Today witnesses the close of what has
probably been, all things considered
the most prosperous term the Academy
has ever , known. ;There have been
times when more pupils were in atten
dance, but there has never been stronger
sympathy between teachers and pupils
and more united and sustained effort on
the part of all." While financial success
is always desirable in a school, its
greatest success can never be measured
by dollars 'and cents. The growth in
character of its pupils determines
whether a school deserves support from
a community, and, measured -by that
stand, Wasco Academy certainly de
serves a high rank among the secondary
schools of : the . country. The next ses
sion, which begins Monday, November
16th, promises to be even more success
ful than the one just closed. We hope
all who are contemplating attendance
will be on hand promptly, at 9 o'clock
that morning.
Even the best of us are caught napping
sometimes. Witness the following:
Teacher ",What " position does Mr.
Gladstone hold?" Pupil. "He is
Prime minister of England." ;Teacher
"Is he at the present time?"; Pupil
"No, he is dead now." We are very
glad the pupil was mistaken and hope
the ''grand ; old man", may still have
many years of usefulness in store for
him'.
One of the needs of the Academy is a
larger reference library While there
are. so many, valuable .books on the
shelves, there is a noticeable lack of
standard works in.science, both natural
and political. ' We trust tha generosity
of some friend of the Academy will sup
ply this need at no distant day.
There is one thing connected with our
school life which deserves especial com
mendation, namely, the universal ' good
nature, displayed, on the ' play ground.
The play is always vigorous and engaged
in promiscuously by large and small ;
but it is never rough nor is there ever a
display of temper over some discomfit
ure. Defeat is always accepted grace
fully and is a necessity for some one
That this speaks well for the self-contro
of the players hardly needs assertion to
any one acquainted " with, the quarrels
arising from boyish sports.-
Our Views Exactly.
; The following letter was received yes
terday by Mr. George W. Filloon from a
prominent capitalist of Portland and it
so fully expresses the general sentiment
of the people up this way that we have
requested permission' of Mr. Filloon to
publish it, only suppressing the name of
the author because the letter was not
written for; publication. ,
Portland, Or., Nov. 6, 1891. .
Geo..W. Filloon,. The Dalles, Or.:
Dear Sih The question of opening
the Columbia river for traffic from the
head of navigation to the sea is now re
ceiving the attention its importance de
serves. x
. Your people are working in- the .right
direction. The portage road, if a practi
cable route can be had, should be built
on the Orogon side and should be built
by state moneys and 'placed under . the
control of the state of Oregonr Western
Washington, ; with ' large and jealous
cities, will always hold a majority in the
legislature of that state ready to enact
laws inimical 10 t ortiana s interest ana
Oregon's interest. Again what assur
ances have we that the stock of Mohr's
corporatioh will not, if not already there,
pass into the hands of either the North
ern or Union Pacific railroads?
I bel ieve that sufficient interest can be
created to induce the governor to con
vene the legislature pass the neces
sary laws to build on. the Oregon side.
If this can not be done then the whole
matter should be deferred until the leg
islature convenes regularly.
The ' portage road above The Dalles
should be built but better not build
at all than put it in the wrong place and
under treacherous control. -Please give
me vour views fullv, ; -

Yesterday, November 11th at the resi
dence of Rev. William 'Michell of this
city, Mr. E. J. Rand, of Shelton, Wash.,
to Miss Lnella J. Turner, of Hood River.
Held np
As Sylvester . Mason was on his
way last night driving his team to his
home on the bluff back of the brewery
and just as he had reached a sort of re
cess off the road near the top of the hill
where considerable rock has been taken
out at various .times for building pur
poses, two masked men-sprang out from
the recess and one of them who held a
club in his hands grabbed the horses by
the bridle while the other presenting the
pistol at Mr. Mason's face ordered him
to come down from the wagon. When
Mr. Mason, who is considerably deaf,
took in the situation he lost no time in
complying with the order. As soon as
he had struck the ground the man with
the pistol, who kept him covered all the
time, approached to within a few feet of
Mri Mason and ordered him to throw np
his hands while the man with the club
rifled his pockets, taking Mr. Mason's
purse which contained, fortunately only
$5.60. . : Then Mr. Mason was ordered to
goon his way while the men hastily
clambered up the hill and were soon lost
to sight. One of the men is described
as tall over six feet high and slim; the
other stouter and of medium . hight,
and both wore apjarently shabby, over
coats which came down nearly to their
ankles. . Something like veiling or raos:
quito netting covered each face so' that it
was impossible for Mr. Mason to recog
nize the features. The town has been
full of strangers for some time, several
of them have the marks and brands of
the genuine tin-horn and alt- round
hoodlum. The cities east of. us have
been driving these gentry fronT""-their
borders and the sooner they are driven
out of here the better for the communitv.
They All Feel the Same Way.
It is gratifying to know that public
sympathy for the people's line of boats
is not confined to the people living trib
utary to The Dalles. Persons from dis
tant portions of the Inland Empire
have caught the infection'and frequently
evince it in a practical way. Wednes
day morning a gentleman from Walla
Walla whose name, we regret to say,
we could not obtain, after having been
urged by a runner for the Union Pacific
to buy a ticket for the Baker, turned to
an agent of the people's boats and said,
"I know I can save a dollar' and a half
by going by the Baker, but I know too,
what a fifty-cent ticket by that boat
means. Were it not for. the Regulator I
would have to pay $3.55 and if that boat
is left without support: I shall have to
pay that amount' the: next time I come
this . way.. L Although I live in Walla
Walla,: I know of the fight you are mak
ing to maintain an open river, and I also
know of the '-way the 'Union ' Pacific
keeps the cinch on us up there, and that
line won't get a dollar from me when I
can help it." . . ' '
