If you want the news, --' If you are not a subscriber, please read this and hand in vonr name. ; W. H. Moore, of Moro, was in the city today. Miss Holcomb, one of the most effi cient teachers in the' Academy, left , on the evening of the 25th, to take up ner residence on a, romantio.au v situated homestead,'. well' known 'as - "Snake Ranch," adjoining Geo. Snipes.' The beat wishes of the ccftumunity follow her to her new abode. , Circuit ' court commenced this morn 7 ing,' Judge Bradshaw ' presiding; 1 The following gentlemen were elected to serve on the grand jury : W. H. Tay lor, foreman ; R. I. Tucker, J. J. Lewis, 3eo. Smith, J. N. Mosier, C. A. Allen and Wallace Fargher. John Cates was appointed court bailiff and H. R. Dar neille jury bailiff. The first case was that of Lander Evans vs. U. N. Railway -company, which had not been disposed of at the time of going to press. vHon. Gee T. Myers, one of the Abu 'commissioners of Oregon, is in the city on business in connection with his office. In company with a representative of The . CnRoxicLE he paid a visit to the famous fruit farm of Seufert Bros., Par- Aliu lipminpH. mil van wivnllv anbw. -tained by a feast of good things, includ ing cherries, strawberries, and saunter ings through the irrigated peach and apricot orchards, where the trees are so bountifully laden with fruit, as the result of careful - attention, as to suggest 1 1 1 3 .1 1 .1 n . wo luLsei auu me mos meory. inrn in the water and nature does the - rest. -Seufert' Bros, are reaping a fine harvest this year, and they deserve it all. - for over a week, bat as they can be shipped to Portland and net 35 to 40 cents a box, their price is still beyond th reach of the common people. CHer- ' ries have been in market for nearly a "for two weeks., ' Speaking of our straw berries the other day'W. D. Smith, the leading fruit shipper, of Walla Walla, t 1 i T, ..1 . r 11 t ,. iinri oiu wj Asauc murer, wi 11ns city : r uen we come in competition with The Dalles -and Hood River berries we're not in it." This is not new to the Chronicle, 4hn(rVi if. maw 4a bam. n t It. n n A The fact is. Wasco county strawberries beat Portland,, beat, the' Willamette valley, beat California, beat the world, and this is not boasting -either. Wasco county strawberries .sell . for a much higher Jprice, wherever they are placed in competition with berries from any of the plaeea named. But what must be said of a . climate that , has ripened ' . berries , two weeks ago while, the denizens of the east are still suffering the rigors of winter? Is it any wonder, that all indications point to the largest immigration that has ever, in one year, turned their faces towards the land of the setting sun. CNALLOTKO PLIASVBK. Tt Eicnnlos to the Cascades en Natar . ' y X.aat. .... ; The Regulator had about 160 passeng ers aboard when she -started on the ex cursion trip to the Cascades last Satur day morning. All were . excursionists save, possibly, half a dozen persons who had other business on bands. : Among these latter were Dr. Taylor, W. Wise- map and C. E. Haight,- who were bonnd tor iraut lAke on a week's nsmng trip. A stiff up-river breeze met the Regulator as she steamed down . the river and the air was cool and bracing gradually dy ing out and getting warmer till the noon' hour when it became a perfect, typical, Eastern Oregon summer day. The Regu lator band discoursed choice selections of 4 music at pleasing intervals till the arrival of the "boat at the Cascades, when the happy crowd, repaired,.; with . well-filled baskets and whetted , appetites to, the grateful - shade of the . wide spreading poplars that line the river's bank. Af ter a hearty lunch young -and old scat tered in all directions, the ubiquitous candidate (for we had several oh-board) to see that his fences were in good' re pair and the majority to inspect .the locks and view the raging torrent as it rushed madly over the falls of the Cas-. cades in its haste to reach its mother ocean. Not a few walked the portage to its western ' terminus, where the big state wharf 'boat ' surges i and creaks against the piling as it lies half exposed' to the mighty down-pour of the seething boiling torrent. Here it was found that part of the government bulk head had been torn down - so as to admit the wharf boat into the canal when : it - may become necessary to do so, a time that is probably not far off as the river is ris ing 'rapidly under' the' hot; sun. Re turning to the boat through the govern ment grounds the reporter "learned that about 100 men are now employed on the works, between 40 and 50 of them being employed in cutting- stone. Meeting John Kennington, a- warm hearted native of the Emerald isle, who is jan itor ot the government bunk house, a cordial invitation was given to inspect the building..,; John is an old man, long past the prime of life, but it is due to him to say that eve'rything' Under his charge is kept as1 neat and tidy as my lady's boudoir. The building has - two floors, and covers an area of 44 by. 250' -feet Everything up-stairs and down-stairs was as clean and sweet as pure air and the busy hands of the faithful old Irish man could make it. Mr. Kennington is known on the works as the ''Marquis of Waterford." He was- born in Pilltown, county Killkenny,- many 'years, ago, where his father had been blacksmith to the Marquis of Waterford, made .famous by his eventful life and tragic death in a fox bunt, about the year 1858, and still more famous perhaps by his being the original "Webber" of Lever's novel "Charley O'Malley." Taking the re porter to his own quarters the old man opened a trunk and took oat a well worn bible, and,; opening the"; title page, pointed with ' pardonable pride to the inscription, "Presented to-John Ken ningtOh by Lady Waterford, Jany. 25th, 1856." '-. "I would not take $100 for that bible,'' said the old man,, and every intonation of voice and manner told that he meant every word he said. Salmon fishing is quite an im portant industry at the - Cascades, and not a few make a comfortable living at it. The Cascade Falls Fishine compa ny are taking out, with one fish wheel, located about a mile below the falls, from five to six tons a day. N. Nelson caught, the other day, in twenty-six feet of net, j 200 fish at one haul, that weighed 1,000 pounds. ' Nets are placed all around the wharf boat, since the Dalles City stopped running, and hardy natives of the land of the midnight sun were navigating the rapids and eddies below the falls as plac idly as ever a land lubber sat in a rock ing chair in his own parlor. ' . At 2 :30 p. m. the whistle of the Regu lator called the excursionists back to the boat and- by 3 o'clock we were steaming back to The Dalles. T A few miles below Memaluse Island a happy thought sug gested itself to Mr.' Allaway, the oblig ing agent of the boat company, and the reporter was appointed a committee of one to put it in execution. Repairing' to the pantry where Captain McNulty was partaking of a hasty cup of coffee; the suggestion wad made that it would confer a great pleasure on the passengers if the boat was put in for1 a few minutes at Memaluse Island allow those of us who had . never visited it to see that i ancient burial ' place, where Vic Trevitt f and - so : many aborigenes sleep their last sleep. ' Tlie captain promptly replied. "I will see when I get up to the island and stop if it is pos sible to do so." And he was as good as his word, and a large 'number landed and clambered, up the sand slopes that led to the Indian graves. They are four in number. Three are covered .enclos ures made" apparently out of "punch eons" or rived timbers, and covering a space 'each o( about ten feet square', covered on top.' The "puncheons" of the fourth have ' rotted and fallen and the bones and skulls lie;, exposed. ; In this last the- reporter counted nearly "50 skulls- that ' lay..-expoeed while prob ably as . many .or more .were covered up.- Possible quite as many skulls were in each' of the three other inclosures. The merest glance at the skulls, could distinguish two kinds, one the ordinary Indian skull and the other that of the retreating forehead of the Flathead. Besides these four large graves, '.or rather, accumulations of bdises.several places were observed that had the ap pearance of single, sunken graves. .But the " prevailing method of burial evi dently was or is, to wrap the corpse in a blanket or other inclosure and lay it on the bones of its ancestors. In course of time the blanket rots and disappears and and nothing but the bones remain , It wa"s a scene- where the moralist-might' well .linger, and- reflect oh the vanity of all earthly things, but there was no iime to moralize, -and after - twenty, jninutesbr so, that seemed all too short, the whistle warned -us to the boat and ' we' 'were again 'soon safelv' steaming homeward-. Captain Michell who was on board, hav? f. ing relieved Captain McNulty for a little. time the latter was- conversing with ac quaintances in the' fore cabin, , when Rev. O,, D. Taylor,., by a. preconcerted arrangement,,: 4n' a j few well chosen -words,moved a vote of thanks to Captain McNulty for the pleasure of .the trip and the' ' courtesy, of -.- having-' . allowed the passengers1 ' -to visit",' '.Meitaalnse Island.' "'A' dozen' voices - seconded -the motion 'and it was carried by a roar of "ayes" that rose high' above ' the sound of the rushing . steam of the , en gines. Then Judge Bradshaw, waving' his bat overhead, called for three cheers for the captain which were given with a will but before they had died on the air iii a chorus of laughter the burly captain, blushing like a ' school girl, bad ' rushed from the cabin aiid was climbing ' the stair to the wheel house.' - As , the boat put into the wharf three rousing cheers were given for the band that had so roy ally entertained us on a trip that every body united in pronouncing one of the pleasantest . they, had ever enjoyed. Not a single event happened to mar its pleasure and never a -'kicker'' was in the crowd that wended its way home ward from the boat landing, hoping to have the pleaeure of enjoying aiauv such on the Regulator before the shad ows of the year lengthen out to a close. The ' Lombardy poplar, , in Western parlance, is a rustler. If there is water or moisture in its immediate neighbor hood it will reach after it and find it. Citizens of The Dal leg have seen; at var ious times, - the Court street sewer clogged up with thick bunches of root lets from the trees growing on the sides of the streets, ten to fifteen feet-distant A Chronicle representative was shown, yesterday a well on Mr. Crandall's lot on '-Fulton street which is becoming rapidly .filled up with 'bunches ot, tiny rootlets from a poplar tree that stands thirty feet from the well. C. J. Brigbt as 'principal and W. H. Biggs, W. M. Burnett, -W - D',- Arms worthy, Clark' Dunlap; B. F.. Medler, Jesse Edgington and Henry Krouse as surities have entered into a bond with Sherman county, in the sum of six thousand dollars, to erect a court house, free" of .charge to the county,, in the town of Wasco, iour months from the date on which Wasco shall be lawfully declared the county seat of . Sherman county. Plans and specifications for the building are filed with .the bond aa part of the instrument. , -. - ' :. .' A few days since," i San Francisco, a relic f '49 was found by "& workmen named Johnson, employed in' tearing down an old house on Morton stert. The property belongs to 'Levi Strauss, and when the contractor took the con tract to clear the lot bo as to inake room for a brick addition .to a store adjoining, the frame structures were sold to a res taurant man named WiUon. In the backyard " among - the rubbish waa a giantpower-can' which nearly, every one had. considered empty, or filled with worthless stuff, as it bad been knocked around for years, but Johnson is an old miner, and looked with more reverence upon the contents of the despised can. After making an investigation, he asked Wilson to give him $25 for the can and its contents, saying the metal might" be worth, something. The offer was promptly refused, as Johnson had expected. So Johnson carried the material over to the mint and received fGOOOO for the gold dust.' That was what the can was filled with. ' 1 " " - : '. Mavrco .Boazaria. - - Soon after Fitz-Greene Halleck ha4 published his stirring ' 'Marco Bozzaria," he repeated the poem to a lady,-an inti mate friend of his. : She expressed great Bdrmration of the beautiful lines, but When he was in full enjoyment of what be -considered her perfect appreciation she surprised him by the innocent query: "Who was Marco Bozzaris?" . , "Well," saiATto. Halleck, despondent ly, "what's the use of becoming martyrs for liberty or of poets celebrating heroes if ladies won't even inform themselves abont the events of the day?" ' " ' The remembrance of another incident connected with the poem never failed to elicit a groan from its anthor. -'; At a certain dinner party at which ho . was present, it .was expected that each . manshould sing a song or make, a speech. Among the guests was a Dutch Jew, whose. English was execrable, and he had been previously persuaded by a joker to commit the whole of Marco Bozzaris to memory that ho might recite it for the -gratification of the poet and the poet's . .The day .came and the Dutchman was called upon to speak. ' , .a .."Shentlemans," said, he rising, "I can ; neither make do speech nor sing de song, but I vill deliver voil-grand poem." , This he proceeded relentlessly to do, and Halleck, when he heard his harmo ' nious measures delivered in a mixture of English and Dutch, was divided be tween the temptation to latum and f' r- Vyvnt'h'H fVim-nn-nrm ' ' '-"-. .
