L. P. Dorais has a kick against the
board of school examiners and against
the manner in which examinations are
made. Mr. Dorais writes a line Italian
hand, so as to speak, as it were. In
fact,' Mr. Dorais uses italics so numer
ously that hia whole article is emphatic.
Several years' experience in the news
paper business has taught us that Mr.
Dorais has mistaken his remedy. -What
he should hae used was the powerful
: ' and the sarcastic ? ?. "That's
what knocks!"
Uncle Jammy Benson said to a Chkox
iclk representative to-day, "I saw an
article in The Chronicle a short time
ago that said fruit would be short on
Five-mile this year. Now I want you to
come out to the creek some of these days
and if we dont show you more fruit than
ou ever saw in your life I'll treat
Why I have been living on
the creekl
for 20 years and I never saw fruit trees
of every kind loaded down with fruit as
they are this year." Said Joel W.
Koontz, republican candidate for county
assessor, who overheard Mr. Benson's
remarks, "If you come out to my place
in a week I'll fill you up with strawber
ries to the throat, or picket you on a two
foot and a half rope, and you'll be able
to reach at more than you can possibly
eat. All kinds of crops on Five-mile
never looked as good as they do this
year."
The Washington special correspondent?
of the Oregonian, under date of May 27th
says; : "The Blaine boom is sagging in
the middle and bagging at the knees.
The group of politicians who are Jeter
mined to defeat President Harrison at
any cost, seemed to have failed in their
mission. The Blaine boomers have
not at any time had any assurances
that the secretary would accept the
nomination. Theii sole idea in bringing
forward Blaine was to defeat . the presi
dent, and then if possible land the nom
ination on someone else. This, effort
has failed, and the president appears
more popular than ever. The schemers
have have not given up the attempt to
bring about the president's defeat, but
the opinion of the best republicans is
that the nomination of Blaine, if he
would accept, wonld be full of peril,
while that of President Harrison would
be safe and a practical . assurance of vic
tory." Decoration Day.
Monday will be decoration day, and
according to the time honored custom no
paper will be issued from The Chronicle
office Monday evening.
Memorial Services.
The Methodist-church will1 observe

in America.1
Circuit Court.
The case of W. H. Butler vs. D. Gil-
lispie, involving, the price of a certain
piece of land occupied the court all this
forenoon and was hot ended at the time of
going to press. Jndge Bradshaw expects
to get through with the docket this after
noon. .
J. E. McCormick of Pleasant Ridge
left at this office today a sample of fall
rye, grown on his ranch, that ' measures
seven leei.
An Old Plaer Mine.
About a dozen Chinamen ' have been
engaged for some time in working the
old placer fields on the Columbia, above
Umatilla. They evidently have quite a
snap, and are very suspicions of white
people, refusing to talk-or to show the
amount of gold taken out to parties who
visit their camp. They are believed to
have secured considerable fine gold.
High water -permits active - operations
just now, and the miners are busy,
working near the edge of the river.
They use quite an elaborate and ingen
ious cradle process, and seems to have a
dry process, also, of a curious nature.
The placers where the Chinese are min
ing were abandoned by white miners
about twenty years ago. They are some
two miles above Umatilla. In 1862 this
mine was "worked out" by Col. D. S.
Dow, and associates, but the deposits
from up the Columbia since then have
again made it good diggings.
A Bovine Excitement. .
Talk about- your wild steers. A
mother of steers, on the streets of The
Dalles today caused more excitement
than a whole band of ordinary "bovines.
This cow was raised over in Klickitat,
and was sold to a citizen f The Dalles
as a thoroughly domesticated milker,- at
a fair price, and our .fellow . townsman
arranged to have her delivered today.
The hired man, and an Indian from the
farm, brought the cow into the city atone
o'clock p. m., and were proceeding up
Union stret t'from the ferry to deliver the
goods according to contract, when Bossy
suddenly took a -notion into her head
to go back. After considerable cavorting
during which it was impossible to tell
which one of the party, including, man,
Indian, horses and cow, was upper
most, the cow dashed away down
Union street, thence up. First street,
and down to the river front to the
water's edge. Here she deliberately
waded in, opposite the depot, until
wading was impossible, when she boldly
struck out for the Washington " side.
She swam finely until she struck the
current, which swept her with full force
down the stream, and the last seen of
her by our reporter she was headed for
the Cascades with Regulator speed.
Later. . The cow sank about SO rods
below the Rockland landing.
I.AMPHKYS AND WEAL.
Sportiveness of tHe Latter In Feeding
Upon the Former.
It is remarked by fishermen that they
have never before noticed so many eels.
The rtjeks of the narrow channels at the
Dalles through which the water rushes
swiftly are lined with lampreys, which
in their efforts to ascend therapids fasten
themselves to the rocks as high above
the water as they can reach by their
succor-like mouths, and by a vigorous
blow on the surface ol tne stream witn
their tails propel themselves along "step
by step." There' are also many seals
disporting in the river, on the lookout
for the fat salmon. These seals appear
to derive a great deal of amusement from
catching the lampreys. ' They will wiggle
along up on a ledge of rocks till they find
a place where scores of the lampreys are
clustered, and then flop off into the water
and sieze a mouthful of them, and swim
gaily down the stream with their heads
elevated above the water and their prey
writhing and squirming about their jaws.
The seals seem to think this great fun,
and call to one another and sport about
in apparent delight. Lieutenant Taylor,
in charge of the work on the Cascade
locks, says that there are many seals in
that vicinity. They baunt a big eddy
opposite the locks, and amuse themselves
by swimming up to the head of it and
then dodge out into the swift current
and are swept down, their sleek heads
bobbing around in the torrent. They
appear to enjoy this sport as much as
boys do. sliding down hill. In the wheels
at the cascades, in addition to the blue-
backs, many chinook salmon and num
bers of salmon trout are taken.
