return from the democratic state con
vention. -
John Bonn of this city left at this
office today a twig plucked from an ap
ricot tree in his garden which, 'though
only six inches in length, .'contains 18
apricots, each nearly as large as a
pigeon's egg. ' , '
The salmon run. reached the Cascade
- locks last Sunday night. It takes them
generally about a week to make the trip
from the cascades to the dalles, so that
the full fishing harvest may be on inside
the next twenty-four hours.
InV note to Mr. Linus Hubbard, ao
knowiedging receipt of the whalebacks
photo., Gov. N. B. Wiley, of Idaho,
says : "The. cascade locks,-, with the
similar projected improvements at the
: dalles of the Columbia, are indeed the
feeya of the Inland Empire." -

. 1158.87. : This is an excellent showing
for this young county. . .-.

so low on the river that they nearly
struck the mast of the skiff "Typo," a

Citronicle office.
The Hood River Glacier says: "A

Snow fell last night on the high hills
back of this city and a heavy frost is re
ported as having occurred on Fifteen
Mile creek. There waa ice a quarter of
an inch thick at H. Simon's place on
Eight Mile. Up till last night fruit was
generally considered safe but its condi
tion, now will not be known - for a few
days.
The Condon Globe probably meant no
harm to Judge Bradshaw when it said,
that during last court term.there, "no
less than 'fifty people were heard "to re
mark that he was an excellent likeness of
Grover Cleveland." It is questionable
if the judge has any remedy at law for
this charge,'' ' and custom - shuts the
mouths of candidates against retaliation
anyhow.
Last evening was spent pleasantly in

Mr. and Mrs. John Filloon. . Those

Dr. and Mrs. Rinehart, Mr. and Mrs.
Filloon, Mrs. Jas. Wilson and Miss Bes
sie Miller. Mrs. Stephens was the win
ner of the first prize which- was a
beautiful, band-painted glass plaque,
and Mr. Stephens was the happy winner
of the booby which waa a most forlorn
looking little gray mule.
Neatly Done.
It was as neat a little job as was ever
done outside 'of a political convention.
The lodge was about to close (the Odd
Fellows of this city, last night) - and
nothing had been said about how the
brethern intended to go and come from
the big picnic at Hood River next Tues
day when a brother arose and offered
"by request" a resolution substantially
as follows: "Resolved that the Odd
Fellows of Columbia lodge No. 5, I. O.
O. F. intend to go to , the Hood River
picnic by rail, with the undej-tanding
that the train will wait the convenience
of our return at Hood River." "Second
the motion," said a guileless brother.
"i move as an amendment said an
other brother "that the word . boat
be substituted for the word rail
"Second the motion" cried a dozen
voices in chorus. Then the amend'
ment was put, ana carriea with a
whoop, and the lodge closed in due
form.
-. Transferred to Washington.
Mr. Robert E. Kerkam, who has so
long furnished official forecasts of the
weather from San Francisco with which-
readers of The Chronicle are familiar,
haa been relieved from duty at that
point, and returns to Washington city
to resume his more important duties at
headquarters. Referring to his forecasts
the Oregonian says: "They have been
most excellent, and have done much to
cause the public to regain confidence in
that branch of the work of the weather
bureau, which is one as most important
to the general community. Weather
forecasting on the Pacific slope is the
most difficult of any in the country ,'due
to the proximity of the ocean, the widely-
separated and sometimes inaccessible
telegraph stations, and to the peculiar
topography of the country, for there are
several places in Oregon and Washing
ton where, when Tain falls heavily, it is
cloudless and fine not sixty miles away.
rv- . i . .
abb wcutuer oureau was never in a
more popular, wellknown and beneficial
condition on- the entire Pacific coast.
than it is today, and its present high
grade of efficiency is due to the men -who
have so conscientiously labored for its
benefit, and also to the hew life and
Diooa inrused into it by reason of its
transfer to the agricultural department
on July 1st; last. -. Mr. Kerkam has been
succeeded by his predecessor, John P.
Finley, well known on account of his
tornado and cyclone reports. :

CAPT. JOHN MeSCULTT.
The Veteran Commander to take Charge
- of the Regulator.
Captain John McNulty, welland favor
ably ' known oil the Colombia river for
thirty-nine years past, in connection
with steamboating, has resigned from
his command in the Union Pacific system
and accepted a similar position with The
Dal es, Portland and Astoria Navigation
Company. He .will take command of
the steamer Regulator on or before May
1st. Captain McNulty has followed the
Columbia all these years without obe-l
serious accident, and is with all a most
deservedly popular man. It is remark
ed by tourists, travelers, and people in
general who chance to be with him, and
especially those who know him, that one
of his prominent characteristics is his
established tenet, that "order is. Heav
en's first law,"'ani.l it is a principle which
he applies unreservedly to everything
about him, making a trip with him one
to be long remembered pleasantly. His
friends, and they are legion, will be grat
ified to greet him on the Regulator.

Points on the Silo.
Now is the time for farmers to make
preparations for using the silo during
the coming winter. The ground must
be selected and put in condition to bear
a good crop of corn. In selecting the
ground, locate it as near the place where
the silo will be built as possible, so that
the green crop can be handled with as
little labor as possible. , The ground can
not be made too rich or put into too good
cultivation ; for. it should be the aim of
the farmers to grow as many tons of
valuable fodder to the acre aa possible.
Corn is preeminently the best cjrop for
the silo when all things are considered.
Other crops, such aa clover, vetches,
oats, "peas, sorghum, etc., have been
used with more' or less success : but
when corn' can be grown,- these crops
have given way to the king.
Of the varieties of corn, best adapted
to this climate, little need be said, for
where one variety may be a success,
others might fail to meet the require
ments. The Evergeen sweet corn makes
excellent silage, but will not produce
quite as large a yield per acre aa some of
of the dent varieties. The Southern
ensilage corn, known as "B and W
enquage corn, maaes an enormous
growth in this valley, but does not
mature as early aa some of the smaller
varieties. The Pride of the North, ia a
good variety for general use. This is a
yellow dent variety, which makes a
medium growth ; and produces an ear on
every stalk, which will reach maturity,
before there is any danger of frost. "
In general, I believe better results
will - be obtained, if seed can be ob
tained which has been produced in the
locality. Corn is very susceptible to
climatic influences ; and there is little
to be gained, by importing seed from
localities where the conditions are al
together different from those prevailing
in the vicinity .where you wish to grow
the crop. There is no difficulty in
maintaining, and many times improv
ing the corn crop, by carefully selecting
seedf your own raising. Of course
these remarks will only apply to local
ities where the corn plant will reach full
maturity.
In the reports which have come to me
from points in this state, I have yet to
learn of a single instance where the silo
has sot given the most flattering satis
faction. Some who began with only a
small silo are building larger, and pro
pose to use this method of feeding stock
animals, as well as dairy cows. And
right here, let me caution those who
contemplate building, to build large
enough to meet future demands ; for the
larger the silo the less loss there will be
in proportion ;io tne amount oi green
material stored. What I mean by this ia,
is, that 80 or 100 tons thus stored in a ailo
10x20 'and twenty feet deep, will keep
mure completely, man twenty tons in a
silo 10x10, and ten feet deep. - The ad
ditional weight caused by the increased
depth of the silo, will assist very much
in tne keeping of the contents. At all
events, plant some corn, tend it well,
build a silo after harvest, cut the corn
when it begins to glaze, run it through a
feed cutter, into the Bilo, keep it evenly
spread as it goes in, tread it down in
corners, run some hay or straw on top,
and next November , or December you
will have a mint of feed which no future
winter will see you without.

his return he was threatened with a
