Mr. D. W. Pierce of Gbldendale, has

Mr. James Kelly, of Kingsley,' was in
the city today with his two daughters,
and made a very 1 pleasant ' visit to The
Chronicle, enrolling his name amongst
those of his staunch supporters.
AS evidence corroborating the state
ment of The Chronicle yesterday, that
the Columbia river had not been ' dis
covered, up to last; night, I.N. Camp
bell states to a representative of this
wide awake journal today, that the Col
umbia river is not located on his map.
A Kindergarten school would be a fine
thing for The Dalles., All cities have

upon posterity. v
When- the - railway business in; the
west reaches a point at which' a distrib
utor receives locomotives by the train,
as was done recently in Buffalo, N. Y.,
and illustrated by the Express; then
there .will not be river front at The
Dalles sufficient to accommodate the
water craft. Why? Because the rail
way influences- will have purchased Jit
and laid it away for keeps. :. -
: The Herald says : '' "R. N. Wright, a
mugwump politician who changes his
politics oftener than he does his shirt, is
heard from through'an article in yester
day's Astorian, written by himself, and
signed Boys of the High School in which
he tries to vindicate himself from the
charge that he is a political scalawag,
unfit to hold his present position and
should be removed." ;.
Six million dollars will be the sum
paid this year, to transport the grain of
the Inland Empire to a point where it
can be shipped to the markets of the
world. One year. Wheat' alone. : Just
think of it; then ask yourself MWhat
were such men as Rep. Holman of Indi
ana, born for, if it was not' to bleed us
and such as us,, that half this sum might
go into the coffers of corporations and
eventually be divided amongst men of
his kind?" This is the stubborn fact, i
There is a level headed man at the
helm in the Pomeroy Independent office.
He says: "With a portage at The
Dalles tbis rate would be reduced about
one-half and thereby leave $3,000,000 in
the pockets of the people, that now go
into the coffers of the corporations to aid
them in buying our congressmen off
from urging appropriations to open the
river by constructing a portage railway,
as the state of Oregon , has done at the
Cascades of the Columbia, and thereby
saved tens of thousands of dollars to the
people on the lower river, whose pro
ducts are not a tithe compared to the
products of the upper Columbia and
Snake river basins."
The story that there will" be a war
dance at - Minneapolis next month is
probably based on the fact that a de
scendant of Tecumseh, whom the presi
dents grandfather whipped at Tippe
canoe, is a member of the Colorado del
egation to the republican national con
vention. He has an old score to settle
and will join tiie free silverites of the
delegation in vigorous quest for Har
rison's scalp. . The chances are, says the
Oregonian, that the descendant of Te
cumseh and his allies will not be more
successful in their campaign against the
president than the old Indian hero and
his allies were in their attempt to carry
away the scalplock of - his grandaire.
What bravery could not do on the former
occasion, bluster is not likely to accom
plish in the coming contest.
SCINTILLATIONS.
' From the Klamath Star.
The Albany Democrat says the demo
cratic convention "sat upon Gov. Pen
noyer," leaving its readers to guess what
the convention intended to hatch.
Hon. R. M.' veatch,; who hopes the
democrats will lift him up to congress for
this district, will peaks in - Ashland to
morrow evening. The subject - is, ; sub
stantially : . "I am the best : man you
ever saw for congress. v I am a whizzer
from Whizjileton!"-' : .
There ia a new nolitinal'animnl in rn
gon. It ia a lively pup out of the Tarn
many tiger, and the party is . beginning
to hear things drop. At .the democratic
State convention down came Pennoyer
with bis .free-silver notions... and over
there : In. .Lane, s county,; j ex-Governor
Whitaker, who. wanted, the insignificant
office of county, judge, got stroke of the
pup's paw in the countyjcon.veh.tion and
his head was knocked- lear out of his
haW . . .
! A Murderer Rewarded. -
; ubklin, May 11. mecke, the sentry
who, six weeks ago, shot and killed one
citizen and severely ' wounded another
before the barracks in Wrangel strasse,
has been promoted by Emperor William
to be lance corporal. , In addition,.-, the
emperor called Loecke .before him and
personally complimented . him for sus
taining army discipline.. The emperor's
treatment of Luecke has aroused indig
nation, as it is the general belief that be
killed his man in cold blood. The news
papers comment bitterly on; the matter
and the case of the " shooting of the man
by Luecke may . be brought : Jbefore the
reichstag. .
. In San Francisco, yesterday, wheat
was selling at $1 471 50 per cental
for good, to choice shipping' grades ;
milling wheat, $1 521 55 per cental.
We are informed that Dr. Aug." C.
Kinney is having more surveys made at
the cascade rapids to get all the informa
tion necessary to a thorough understand
ing of the problem there. The doctor
proposes that the tops of a few. rocks
there shall be removed, and asserts that
with that done boats will be able to
navigate those rapids during ordinary
high water, say three months of the
year.-
It is pitiful, in this city full, to see the
people who love Saddle Rock oysters
from experience in eating them, as they
come around to The Chronicle show-
window and weep over the shells here
to be seen; ' As one said ' last evening :
"I love The Dalles, but I'd "rather stay
where , I can get , Saddle Rocks "every
day." , The sight of those shells carry;
the mind of the writer back to Havelys,
and well,' rather makes - the mouth
water - for more than a sight such as
this." -"Shades of Schafer, Fulton mar
ket," NeW York, the oyster room never
to be forgotten," says another.'
The Columbia is swarming with blue
back salmon. They are the finest of
this species ever seen here, many of
them weighing from eight to ten pounds.
Orders have been received within the
past week for several tons of seines for
catching these fish. The wheels at The
Dalles are catching about ten ton per
day,: and large quantities are being re
ceived here from the Cascades and from
down the river. . This is very early for
the run of bluebacks, about six weeks
earlier than they come last year. They
are excellent fish and considered about
as good for canning as the Chinook.
In the San -Francisco wool markets
business has been good for the past
week,'' and representative dealers have
had a liberal share of trade. ' At the
moment, there is no supply of really
good . free stock," as both shippers and
scourers take such wool as fast as offered.
The bulk of the bright foothill and good
San Joaquin arrivals have been sold and
there is a continued demand at ruling
prices. The only styles of wools that
have not moved freely are defective and
poor descriptions, both "short staple and
year's fleece. "All other wools go off
quickly. Report sales foot ' up nearly
400,000 Pounds at from 10 to 16 cents
per pound. . ;
There will be another brisk shower of
old chestnuts fired at Hermann during
the coming campaign. Every old swamp
land swiper, every onion-eyed,, red-nosed
and howling old political sorehead in
his congressional district will tell again
and again what Hermann didn't do, and
promised to do, and might, could, would
or should have done. And yet Hermann,
the people's champion, will be re-elected
by a overwhelming majority. He will
also' sit above them like Democritus,
turning harmless jokes on the follies and
sorrows, the feeble, struggles and the
evanescent chestnuts of the simple old
soreheads. Such is political life ! Now
we represent the esthetic and more beau
tiful spirit of politics and talk decently
about decent folks, and again, we stand
not with the angels, but with the apple
woman, and fire unclean missiles through
the ambient air.
"Will Come up to Portland.
It is now an assured fact says the As
torian. that the Charleston and Balti
more will go to Portland. The water
ballast on the latter vessel was pumped
out today and this, together with the
fact that the coal and all the ammuni
tion was moved to the forward part of
the magificent vessel on Friday and
Saturday has lightered her so much aft
that now she lies on an .even keel and
draws aft but nineteen feet and six in
chee. This information was gleaned
from what is believed to .be a trust
worthy source, and is reliable. It was
learned last night that the Baltimore
when fully loaded with coal and ammu
nition draws twenty-seven feet. "If
these, splendid vessels make the trip
successfully ana witnout tne annoying
delays some of the grain fleet experience,
it will speak well for the : great, river
whose discovery they are here to cele
brate." When the date is definitelv
fixedr 200 passengers can go down to
Portland from The Dalles, and. return,
for ; $2.00 the round trip, by steamer
Regulator. - See advertisement.
