It is rumored that the Baker has been
inspected and that she must go into the

carry Moody's wheat purchased at Rock
land so it had to be ferried across the
river and shipped by the cars.

Now -that the newspapers are noml
natihg candidates for congress from this
district we may mention a little incident
tkat. occurred on the streets of this city
last Saturday that may tend to show
thatr Wasco county has 'abundant raw
matorial that wont get left at repartee
whatever success it may have at the
polls. " S. L. 'Brooks, Emil Schanno and
Colonel Sinnot were standing-at a street
corner discussing the probabilities of a
hard winter when they were joined by
John H. Cradlebaugh, of the Hood
River Glacier "John," said the
Colonel, "We are just' talking about
nominating you for congress from this
district.'-' "Gentlemen," replied Mr.
Cradlebaugh, as he passed on his way,
'I am in the hands of my friends.". .

A well known merchant of this city
thoughtlessly, it is to be charitably
hoped, shipped a lot of goods by the
Baker last week after the Union Pacific
company"had cut the rates. Yesterday
(Sunday) morning as the rays of the ris
ing sun streaked the eastern horizon cit
izens passing in front of the store saw a
big cloth sign stretched v across the
building bearing the legend in r large
flaming ; letters" "This man ships his
goods by the" p. S. Baker..""' This sign
was auwea to remain till about nine
o'clock when it was taken down. The
letters were well executed and bore
evidence that they were the Vork of an
artist.' "It is only a straw 1 but it shows
that there is a wind blowing in the'se
quarters that' will break into a tern post
around the ears of the merchant or
business man who 'will give nourish
ment to the . vampire that has been
sucking our blood for these many years.
, . .laying the Corner Stone.
The corner stone of the new M. E.
church - was laid last Saturday at 10 :30
a'7ni.' It was" In'fended to postpone" the'
ceremony till today, but' the' : masons
were. : anxious to nurry up worK tnat
could not be done till the corner! stone
was laid. The services opened by a
few ' preliminary - remarks by Rev.
Spencer, followed by the hymn "Come
Thou Fount of Every Blessing." Prayer
was tl en offered by Rev. O. D. Tayior,
after' which Psalm 132 was read (as a
collect) by Professor Smith. The scrip
ture lesson was from Cor. I, chap. 3rd,
9-20, and was read by Rev. W. C. Curtis.
Mrs, Smith ! French then read a list of
the contents oi the box" deposited in the
stone, which is as follows : a bible ; a
Methodist hymn book ; conference min
utes of 1S91 ;' Nero Zork Advocate of Nov.
26, 1891 ; Pacific Advocate of December
3 1,891: The Dalles Daily Cheosicle
of December 2. 1891 The' daily' finies
Mountaineer of December 2, 1891 ; The
Wasco weekly Sun of December 2, 1891 ;
a list ' of church : officials consisting ' of
bishop, presiding elder, pastor, local
preaeherSj 'tru'stees, I stewards, Sunday
school superintendent, architect, super
vising architect, . building committee,
Hit of full members in the church, list
of probationers' In" the' church'' at' this
date, and a short notice of the organiza
tion of the M. E.. church in the private
residence, of Mrs. Eliza" McFarland in

of 1884. The box was then placed in the
cavity of the stone "by Mrs: Eliza McFar
land, who is the oldest member of the
church' in' this city; ' The laying of the
stone was then performed jointly by
Revds. Taylor, Curtis and Spencer, after
which the latter offered the consecration
prayer. The benediction . was tnen pro
nounced by Rev. W. C. Curtisand the
meeting separated.' The sun shone out
gloriously during the time of the per
formance, but for lack of due notice
probably not more than a hundred per
sons were present, where otherwise
there would undoubtedly have been five
times that number. .
Any person desiring their horses or
cattle wintered until the 1st of March
can do so by inquiring at . Chrisman
Bros. meat "market or J. L. Kelly, for
the reasonable rates of ten dollars.

Eastern Oregon's Horticultural Society
Said one who was. present, to. our re
porter today V "It's a pity every fruit
raiser in Wasco county ' could not have
been 1 present-, Saturday afternoon last
and heard the remaks of Major Ingalls
on Oregon fruits at the last Portland ex- i
position and what the fruit exhibit cauj
be from Oregon at the next Portland ex
position and at that of Chicago in 1893."
Said Major Ingalls 'If it had not been
for two or three of Wasco's public
spirited citizens, with the constant coun
sel of the . newspapers - of The Dalles,
there would not have been an exhibit
from Wasco County at Portland, nor in
Oregon on Wheels. If one of the same
citizens had not at his own expense
authorized me to pay for an assistant to
look after the Wasco connty exhibits,
your county would not have deserved
nor secured the first premium, for the
best exhibit of fruits of all kinds. By
keeping your tables frequently replen
ished with fresh fruits, and all wormy
and pestiferous fruits off the tables, there
was such iuaked contrast with that of
other exhibits you could not help get
ting the first premium.' .
" " 'In Fruits and Flowers, the able
monthly magazine published in Port
land, in the November issne, the editor
said regarding the exposition atTacoma-:
'The fruits from all sections -were re
markably clean, high colored and gener
ally of good flavor. The specimens in
nearly every instance were select, a fact
which added very materially to the at
tractiveness of the exhibit. .In this re
spect alone, the Tacoma exhibit Out
ranked by aH odds, the Portland exhibit,
save possibly the Wasco county Oregon,
display.'
"Again, in speaking of Wasco's fruit
exhibst he says: 'She brought out an
excellent lot of .fruit ; ninety plates of
apples, twenty-eight plates of peaclies,
five plates of pears, thirty-five plates of
grapes, besides her prunes and quinces;
Her apples were of good size and larger
than the average, the color -was high
and the flavor first-class. There .weie
high colored' Wine Sap, Choice Hub
bardstowns, Sheep's Noses, large fine
Roxbury Russets, Prince Albert, Tulpa
hocken, Maiden's Blnsh," Alexandria.
American Russett, Wagner, Daniel,

Holland Pippins, fine R. I. Greenings,

and Blue Pearmain. ' ' ' '
, " 'The peaches included luscious speci
mens of Heath's. Cling, Steadly, Pic-
quett's Late, Salway and Crawfords.
" 'The pears ; were represented by
White Doyenne, 'Pound, Vicar, Winter
Nellis and D'Anjon; "! t' " ' '
" 'Of grapes,.1' Muscat of Alexandria,
Chasselas-of Rose, Flame Tokay, Black
Spanish, Rose of . Pent and." a new
variety, Hussaco. : : 1 .'. '-.;'''"-.''
" 'In prunes the Fellenberg, German.
Hungarian, Petit and a new varietv, the
Honey Dew.
" 'On the whole the display was one ;
in which the county could take much
pride and one that added much to the :
attractivenes's of the horticultural ex-'
hibit of the exposition. .The most com
mendable feature of it was the absence
'of Scabby and -worm eaten "specimen's'.
If W asco's exhibit did rrothing else than
teach our horticulturists the importance
of showing clean fruit; it accomplished
inestimable good for the benefit of horti
cultnre, especially pomology.'
".. "Major Ingalls urged the fruit raisers
to keep their orchards free from pests,
pack fruit attractively for market, keep
poor fruit at home and grade the fruit
all of a size and kind to be put in a box
by themselves. Create a fruit-raisers'
union and send a good committee to the
transportation companies -Northern and
Union Pacific and the boat line long
before the fruit- season begins, for the
lowes't possible rates; do all in their
power for a good cannery at The Dalles ;
have your dryers and dry your fruit
when you cannot, ship, to advantage
green.. You can raise better apples,
prunes, plums and cherries and as good
peaches, pears and grapes as in Cali
fornia and. are nearer the eastern
markets. You all ought to be rich in a
few years with such soil, climate and
advantages of markets and it's your own
fault if you don't. It's your own fault if
at .tne World's Columbian exposition
you fail to get several first premiums on
frnit. Major Ingalls was urged to ad
dressed the society again at his early
convenience." ...
. Council Meeting. ' ...
An adjourned- council meeting was
held at the usual ' hour on Saturday
evening with a full attendance. ;
Permission was granted to Architect
Kuykendair to lay lumber on the street
at the corner of Fifth and - Washington
while the new M. E. church is in coprse
of erection, - on condition "that the side-i
walks be kept in condition for travel by ,
predestrians. by night and that tempos
rary crossings be laid so that pedestrians
may be able to cross and recross and use
the-Opposite side of the street in the
daytime. - 4 .
On petition of August Buchler 'and
thirty-seven others it was ordered' that
a night watchman(be allowed for 'the
East End and on motion' the council
proceeded to ballot for the same. Two
ballots were tak en andJ.H.'Jack son
and H. C. Gofdiou received three votes
each. Then Joe Knapp was nominated
when Jackson aand . Knapp received
three vqtes each. As the council had
failed to agree the election was laid over
till next meeting.
An ordinance was unanimously passed
granting the yailroad company the
ringi to iay a railway and side track on
Main street from Washington to Madi
son with the provision that Dalles City
may at any time, after six 'r months'
notice, order its removal.
The bill of C. L. Richmond for haul
ing manure, amounting to $36 was
allowed. ,
The ordinance for fixing the salaries
of recorder aud marshal was read and
laid over till next meeting.
The ordinance granting the Western
Union Telegraph company the right to
place and maintain ts poles . and lines
in the streets and alleys and public ways
of the city was referred to the attorney
with the request to report at next regu
lar' meeting. '
The meeting then adjourned.
A Grand Success.
About ninety per cent of the pressure
from the upper reservoir was turned on
this morning. A test was made near
the old court house by attaching a hose
to the hydrant and the the result was
everything that could'be expected or de
sired The water thrown a distance was
of 130 feet from the nozzle, and was then
thrown, with perfect ease, high up over
the top of the Masonic building and the
test fully proves that the full pressure
alone of our water system will throw
water on the roof of tne highest build
ing in the city and is equal to the full
pressure of the steam engine under the
old system. In spite of all the growling
and kicking made by a small number
who never did anything in their lives
but growl it is believed The Dalles has,
or at least will have' when eVerthing is
complete, the best water system on the
Pacific coast.
