B. Hosford of the Moro Observer is in the city Chas. G. Roberts of Hood River paid the Chronicle a pleasant visit today. Mr. Leonard Ireland, of Portland, is at the Umatilla house, on a .visit to his lather. Peach trees are already in bloom in this city. It is hoped that no unkindly frost may nip the tender buds. One of the latest additions to the government at. Cascade- Locks is a fine fine red piano box wagon. It is elabor ately finished. ' , Hon. Wi Lair Hill, the peoples' choice for 'Judge of the ninth United States Circuit court, arrived in the city on the - noon train to-day. Rev. A. S. Spencer, of the M. E. church of this city, took the midnight train last night for Pendleton, on a mis sion in connection with bis duties as a minister. . , . ' , -.. .The CHhomcj.e has sent its ' big -eight pound potatoe to the east to be placed on exhibit iu "Oregon on Wheels." Wont it astonish the denizens of that effete region ? A large consignment of . trunks were hipped from The Dalles7 'factory Satur day to a wholesale manufacturing cloth Ing firm in Albany. They went forward by steamer Regulator. The Centerville Leader says the Farm- ra Alliance and Grange are endeavoring to induce every farmer in Klickitat conn ty to enter into a contract to do all their shipping by, the new line of boats , At the regular? annual Schools -saeeting held this i af terneon. II, -Si Wi'soft Was elected school director to take the place f H. M. Beall. J. M. Huntington was re-elected clerk and a 5 mill tax was voted for school purposes. ..... More than one excursionist to the Cas cades yesterday were heaed passing complimentary remarks on the state portage. The inclines as well as the track are strongly and substantially built and as one gentleman remarked in the hear ing of a Chronicle representative "It is not once in a hundred times that Buch a work is ever completed within the limits ot the appropriation." We noticed standing on the tracft a . very neat cabxse which has just been built on one of the fiat cars by Mr. T. F. Leavens - It has a seating ''capacity for about 30 passengers and will be a good improve ment on the box car now used to carry passengers over the portage. . When the excursionists from' The Dalles reached Cascade Locks yesterday one single copy of the Oregonian was all that was to be bad.. This was- in' the hands of a shrewd boy who. realized the cornet he held on the market, and put the paper up on the basis of supply and demand, and it was taken, at half a dol lar by Deputy County Clerk Martin, who immediately formed-a trust and distri buted, the single copy around about equally between thirty-five or forty excursionists,- An employe at cascade locks yesterday informed a representative of The Chron icle that the reasons for stopping work with f 75,000 -of an unexpended, balance on hand was. that that sum, in the lang uage of the, immortal Joe Meek-, "was bar fly enuf Jot the officers," That in case Congress t fails to make i another appropriation this unexpended balance may be retained solely to keep the officers under pay The magnitude of the immense work was taken in yester day by a large and influential delegation frotni The j Dalles and, the tananimous opinion: seemed to " be that under the present mode of operation the canal may be ready for traffic in about ninety years. About fifty persons went down on the Regulator-yesterdayjon an excursion trip to the Cascade locks. - The day was de lightful ;:the sun shown brightly in , a clear sky and the air was soft and balmy. It was ideal weather and the excursion ists enjoyed it to the full.""" It was ex pected to leave the Cascades for the. re turn trip about two o'clock'-but a little before that time the captain received a telegram informing him that the Dalles City had not ' left Portland till one o'clock rand that she. carried through passengers for The 'Dalles. --There-was nothing therefore for it but to wait till the lower boat arrived. .' This gave . the excursionists a long day which was utilized to the full in examing the- gov ernment works, the state portage and other places and things of interest. The Regulator got back to The Dalles a little before midnight. Several months . since a body was found floating in the river which had been so long exposed as to be unrecog nizable,' and the" remains were- buried without identification, in the pockets was found a memorandum - of a local' subordinate lodge of Granite Cutters,' and as-Mr. 'Strachan, of Cascade- locks has since received letters of inquiry from a Mr. Oswold of San Francisco, he thinks the' bodyi was that of Robert Oswold, who left the locks last April intending to go to Salt Lake City. - He would like- to hear if the clothing of the deceased has been preserved. He says he has made inquiry and ascertains that Oswold .after leaving the locks, was in company with two other men .below The Dalles, that one of these men and Oswold disap peared from the camp where they were sleeping, leaving the third man asleep, since which time nothing has been heard of Oswold. A. veiy sad accident happened yester day some miles below the city, near Snipe's lake, on the Columbia. William Groat, the head miller of vhe Diamond flour - mills had left , this citv in the morning accompanied by a few friends, on a pleasure trip. " After luncheon Mr. Groat and a companion who had been resting on a log, picktd up their guns with the intention of going on a little hunt. In the attempt Mr. .Groat's feet slipped from Tinder him and while try ing to recover himself, bis right band slipped along the barrel of the gun just as something touched the trigger. The entire load of shot entered the palm of the hand -ranging towards the body and tearing the hand frightfully.1 Mr. Groat was Hdrivew -to; town iwith all possible speed-when-Dr. Rinehart fotind it neces sary to amputate the hand a little above the wrist. The patient is doing as well as could be expected and the many warm friends he has made in this city; during his residence here, will be pleased to learn that the accident will not materially unfit him for his old trade. MajG.. WO Ingalls,Jor "Oregon' on Wheels" as he has come to be known to most of the people of Eastern Oregon, is again visiting The Dalles, Mosier and Hood River fruit and vegetable raisers; This visit is-at the request of the Oregon Board of .' Immigration, to get sdme choice apples and vegetables for the ex hibit car now visiting the cities of Ohio, and soon to be in . other states. This traveling eAibit is doing our state more good-than any other form of advertising has ever done and we hope the fruit and vegetable men of The Dalles, Mosier and Hood River will promptly give to Mai.

" a man at Oreana and slapped his face. The latter swore out a warrant for Pritchard'S ar rest, and the paper was placed in Flem ing's hands for service.

Astorian: If we have not an office- holding class in this country, we have a" set of men . who are in public office pretty 'constantly. They exist in both parties, and it is understood they must be provided for whenever the party to which they belong comes into power. So much an accepted fact is this that other men at last come to step aside for them, and only advance their own claims after this class is attended to. And yet office-holding is not a business" to which we would advise a young man With a capacity for anything better. .

Mercer," living . near Burden, Kan., has some corn which is the rarest ever grown. ,' -The " patch was small, but the corn is a kind that has never been seen in this country before. Liaet spring mercer opened a mound on his farm, and in ' it found a lot of corn, along with prehistoric' relics, show ing that the corn had been put in there ages ago.; It was in a sealed jar, and was about a peck 1 in quantity. He gave away half of: it to' his neighbors and others who heard of it and wanted a few grains for a curiosity. When planting time came he thought it would be a good idea to plant some of it, and prepared a patch of ground near his house and planted about two quarts of the seed. It came up and thrived well tinder the cultivation given it. The ears came welL The ears were about six inches long and the . grains were close together, standing np with sharp points. The grains . are small, being about one-fourth the size of an ordinary grain of corn. -r Mercer thinks that this must undoubt edly be the original corn of this country from which the present has sprung through long and high' cultivation. What is remarkable about it is that the mound from --which it -was 'taken has every evidence of being-'-very. old,', for trees were growing on it that could 'hot be less than 200 year1 old-: -The "relics fotnid' with the corn 'toe similar to those found in the mounds of Dlinoisand Ohio. and " thls-t" mound', must ..have .been.
