Another splendid, rainfall, that seems
to have been quite general, commenced
here at an early hour this morning and
continued till nearly noon. - If we don't
have good crops this year it will not be
for lack of rain.
Dr. G. C. Eshelman leceived a tele
, gram this forenoon from Frank McFar
land of Heppner, asking him to come up
immediately as his baby was sick. The
doctor left on the one o'clock passenger.
Mr. F. M. Salyer, C. E., of this city,
was today made the recipienfof a very
handsome testimonial, certifying to his
efficiency and expertness'in his chosen
field. It comes from his late employers
and associates in Durango, Colorado.
The Warm Springs reservation was
recently visited with an epidemic of
measles and at least as many as 150 cases
were reported. Five or six deaths oc
curred at camps at a distance from the
agency but all the patients tinder the
care of the agency physician recovered.
Dr. Hugh Logan will leave on the
midnight passenger tonight to attend a
raeeting of the National association of
railway surgeons to be held at Old Point
Comfort, Virginia on , May 25th Lust.
On his way the doctor will attend a
meeting of the Missouri state medical
association. He intends to visit Chicago,
New York and Washington and will be
gone about a month. ...
Miss Hamill, assisted by her two
classes in elocution, will give an cnter
talnment in the basement of the M. E.
Church tomorrow evening... The pupils
have been preparing for this entertain
ment for some time, but ou account of
the Court house being engaged for that
evening expected to be compelled to
give it up. Now that the M. E. Church
has been -kindly offered, all will have
tbe opportunity hearing the rendering
of a first class programme. '
A' brass band has been organized in
' the city, and one of the oldest and most
Oregon, wTo is also a member of it, has
christened it the : ."Regulator Brass
Band" and the name is - soin? to stick.
The new band has ten members, all ac
complished musicians," and before many
days pass it is expected they will let
tnemseives be beard on the public
streets. Success to the Regulator Band!
It is very evident the good people on
the north side. of the liver ' are not par
ticularly stuck on Oregon sheep. " John
O'Leary of Butledge, whose experience
we related in the Chronicle a. couple of
weeks ago, tried to cross his band of
sheep, a short time ago, over what is
known as Outlet Bridge, on a branch of
the KJickitat river. As the sheep ap
proached the bridge the herder was met
by four masked men who began shoot
ing promiscuously, all around them.
The only thing injured, however, was
the shepherd's dogs, a fine animal which
bad one of bis legs broken by a- pistol
ball. Notices . have been stuck up at
several places warning the sheep men
that no sheep will be allowed to pass
and signed "Committee." It i3 alto
gether likely that Oregon sheepmen who
intend to summer their flocks in Wash
ington are going to get into trouble, and
the above related that they may know
what to expect. ' ' ' .-
The Colambia River Fruit Company.
.Whatever opinion others may enter
tain, the writer has unlimited faith in
(he future of the. section of Wasco
county bordering on the Columbia river,
as a fruit country. We have long passed
tbe experimental stage "and are able to.
present scores of instances where even
the most unpromising locations have
yielded rich returns for intelligent labor.
The tons and tons of dried and green
fruit consumed at home or shipped out
of the county annually, abundantly
prove that we can raise fruit and plenty
of it, and fruit too, some classes of which
have - no superior any where on the
American continent. Wre predict that
before many years have passed the hills
and valleys for miles back of The Dalles
and back of the Columbia river will be
one continuous orchard and vineyard.
That such is not the case at present is
fully accounted for by the fact that it
takes time and capital to raise fruit on
an extensive scale, under the most fav
orable circumstances. In this direction
the Columbia River Fruit company has
been doing a work on the old Lair Hill
ranch and on the adjoining farm which
the company purchased last year, from
Rev. W. H. AVilson, which was a sur
prise to the writer as be walked and
drove over it a few days ago. The lands
covered by these two farms comprise
1,460 acr as, in addition to about 1,200
acres on the other side of the river. - A
force of between twenty and thirty men,
under a competent overseer, have been
at work since last fall clearing the land,
plowing . and planting fruit trees and
grape vines. About 130 acres are now
in bearing, or will bear fruit this coming
season. Seventy-five acres have been
planted during tbe fall and spring, and
about 100 acres more are ready for plant
ing. The company expects to keep a force
of from thirty to fifty men at work all
summer and to have 1500 acres, all told,
planted on both sides of the river before
winter. The amount of work already
accomplished, which" can be "seen by
anyone who takes the trouble of a short
ride hp Mill creek, is an earnest of what
may be expected.- The company, we
are assured, has no lack of capital and it
has disposed of nearly all of its .2500
shares of stock, at least all that it cares
to dispose of at present. .The president
of the company is O. D. Taylor of this
city, the vice-president, C. C. Foster of
Saginaw, .Mich., the treasurer, G. R.
Burnside, of Buffalo, the general man
ager, E. A. Dunham of Cleveland and
the superintendent, A. T. Higby of New
York. Shares of stock are sold at $400
each, payable one-fourth yearly. When
a share of stock, is fully paid for the
holder is entitled to one acre of four year
old bearing fruit trees, or he may con
tinue his connection with the company
at his own option. The progress of the
company will be watched with much in
terest. Its success, and we know Of no
reason why it should not succeed, is of
immense import to this city, and to the
holder of every, acre of fruit land in the
neighborhood. Only by such methods
can orchards be planted on an extensive
scale, as the man of ordinary means can
not afford to wait till his orchard begins
to bear. The success of the Columbia
River Frtiit Co. will make fruit growing
the most important industry in this im
mediate neighborhood.
The people of The Dalles are offered a
rare treat in the entertainment to be
given by Miss Hamill at the M. E. Church
tomorrow night. 5-10-2t

Slips That Always Raise a Laugh. ' '
To few of us is it given never to make
a slip of the tongue. On the contrary,
most people have some unpleasant mem
ory or-, other of some dreadful mistake
they have fallen into, and even although
years may have passed since tho fatal
moment when their lip3 betrayed them,
they are still unable to recall tho cir
cumstances without again experiencing
the agony and their cheeks displaying
the blush which followed upon .the first
discovery of the slip. Take a few exam
ples to illustrate what we .have ad
vanced." It was but a very small and
even insignificant change of a letter
which rather spoiled the impressive elo-r
quence of a preacher, who; warning his
audience against idolatry, in place of
"Bow not thy knee to an idol," made a
false step and said. "Bow not thine eye
to a needle." v
In the same way the young clergyman
with the correct Oxford pronunciation
in giving the hymn, '.'Conquering Kings,"
merely stumbled over the first vowel,
but being unable to save himself was
hurried over the precipice and startled
his congregation with the announce
ment, '.'The hymn tonight will be 'Ban
queting Congs, Einquerinx Congs.' "
Much the same was the pitfall into
which a reverend gentleman, walked
when in place of saying "Behold the
fig tree, how it withereth away," by a
simple transposition of two letters he
asked his audience to. "Behold the wig
tree, how it fithereth away." London
Tablet.
The Sad Part of It.
A good soul in Ohio absolutely wor
ships Dickens, even going so far as burn
ing a candle before his portrait.' She
reads nothing but Dickens, and when he
came here to read she wrote to inquire
whether he'd visit the west Receiving
a reply in Dickens' own handwriting,
her joy knew no bounds. Her hero could
not leave the east, therefore she deter
mined to go to New York.
Jones, the husband, . demurred, but
upon being wakened one night with the
threat that if he did not give her money
to travel like a . Christian, she would
walk, Jones succumbed. Mrs. Jones
went to New York, had a private inter
view with Dickens,, attended his read
ingsand returned home more rabid than
ever. 1
When the news came of Dickens'
death Mrs. Jones was inconsolable. Not
long after Mrs. Jones' sister died, but
owing to the illness of this sister's hus
band, whom she was -obliged to nurse,
Mrs. Jones could not attend the funeral.
When the rest of her family returned
they found Mrs. ' Jones reading "Pick
wick" to the sick and bereaved man. As
a- relative approached the-bed, Mrs.
Jones burst into tears, exclaiming: "The
saddest part of it all is to think that
dear Sarah died before 1 had finished
reading 'Martin Chuzzlewit' to her; and
now shell never, never know how it
endsl Oh, it's top .bad!" Kate Field's

Electricity In Oyster Culture. -
' Electricity is about the last thing to
be thought of in connection with oysters,
yet a very close association' 'between
them has been established by M. Lacase
Dutheier, the well known authority on
oyster culture. He makes use of the
electric light in examining the stages of
development through which the spawn
passes. A glass cylinder is mounted in
a cylindrical skeleton cage which serves
as a support, and into this glass the
water containing the spawn is placed.
At the bottom is a silvered reflector, and
the cover forms a parabolic reflector, in.
the center of which is fixed a small in
candescent lamp. The reflector and
sides of the glass cylinder act in such a
way that but few rays of light emerge
from the apparatus' directly, her.ee the
liquid is suffused with a soft illumina
tion which ' is admirably suited to the
examination of the contents. A modifi
cation of this little apparatus is now be
ing employed in various researches into
the life processes of ferments and the
culture of microbes. New York Tele
gram. - .
A Carious Fungus.
. The- department of - agriculture at
Washington has received from Consul
Jones, located at Chin- Kiang, China, a
8 mall bottle containing specimens of a
curious fungus that actually grows from
a species of caterpillar: 'Unlikely as it
may seem, this fungus literally trans
forms the caterpillar into a vegetable,
making the unhappy insect serve the
purpose of a root. The caterpillar itself
is the larva of a moth peculiar to China
and Japan. - When the cold of winter
approaches, this moth bores a hole in
the ground to a depth of three to seven
inches and curls himself up to wait for
spring.
While taking' his winter sleep he is
often attacked by a remarkable disease,
which causes him to send forth shoots
like a sprouting vegetable. ".. These shoots
appear and fructify above the ground
like any other species , of mushroom.
This remarkable animal vegetable has
no other means of growth than the1 curi
ous one above described. St. Louis Re

- . . i A Study of Eyes.
A story is told of the courtship of the
late Sir George Airy, the famous astron
omer. By reason of his timidity,, he
seemed doomed to be a bachelor for life.
But fortune favored him and he drifted
into matrimony in an unexpected way.
An intimate friend remarked to him one
day; tHave you. ever observed Miss
eyes? - They have -the property of
double refraction. V . "Dear me, that is
very odd,? he exclaimed; "I should like
to see that.; Do you "think I might ven
ture to call?" . And call he did, and
begged permission to examine the young
lady's eyee. ..- .vt Vi j
: The novelty of the situation may have
fascinated him. ' At any rato he begged
the privilege of ; a second look at the
eyes in a clear light; the problem grew
so interesting that he at length came to
the conclusion to make it a life study.
The boldness born of scientific curiosity
enabled him ultimately to propose. He
was accepted, and the strange courtship'
ended in a happy marriage. London
