All the prayers for peace seem to have been an ewered. Almost every man carries home a watermelon at least once in his life, but a wise man seldom . undertakes the job a second time. Four reasons for being a 'total abstain er: The head is clearer, the health is better, the heart is lighter- and the purse is heavier.

Master Boyd . McCormic, a youth of tender years, left the home of his grand parents at Shedd, Linn Co., at 4 a.- in., yesterday, and 'came .through to The Dalles on time,, at 1 p. m.,on No. S passenger, where ho was met at The Umatilla by. his, father, who was expecting him. Bovd savs he has had a fine visit at the old valley home. . .The first voices of the autumn are whispering in. the cool evenings, and, as the night wear's on, we nestle to our pleasant dreams, with the blanket in double fold, tucked closely around us.' Tho steady stream of returning sojourn ers is increasing day, by "day, and the city, begins to look like its wonted self. One touch of wintry weather" makes us allTakin. , The remains of TVilliani Kowen and his wife, were brought in from Prineville Saturday and-prepared - Oandall- & Burget for transportation to the val ley for fiu,al interment. They were then taken on board the steamer Regulator. Mrs. Rowen died some time Vigo, and Mr. Rowen died recently, of consump tion. He was engaged in merchandising, and was long favorably known in Prine ville! - Tlie Firemen's Day. ' The entire delegation of Dalles City firemen in attendance at Portland yes terday, have returned, with the excep tion of Chief Engineer Judd. S. Fish, who remained to attend-the National Association of fire chiefs. The conven tion will last four days, Delegates from Orecon, Washington, California, Mon tana,: Utah,. Nevada, Colorado, Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and British Columbia will be present. - We have talked with Henry Maier, Frank Roach and F. W..L. Skibbe, and, judging from . their accounts - and the jolly appearance of others whom we have seen, they have had a royal - good time. The veterans and the - volunteers threw open the gates of the city, to The Dalles boys, and, besides the banquet ing and. many -social events, decided to stay with it; and at the meeting, in the regular order of business' yesterday aft ernoon, in return for the kind attentions bestowed upon them, The Dalles volun teers invited ' them' to' come here next year, and the invitation .was accepted. Permanent organization was effected by electing officers for the ensuing year as follows: President, A. B. Stuart; first vice-president, Harry Morgan ; sec retary, J. J. Kelly ; treasurer, H. W. Trembath, of Oregon City. Til Ocliooo .Mines. "- - Referring " to devclonments in the Elliott- discovery, the Review says the pffer.ei.Jlper., ton. by;.the Salt Lake reduction works for;the; - ore;.,. has awakened considerable- interest -among the .people there, and rhas caused Btock in the mine to take a sudden jump In .vajue.Coneiderable stock has changed hands during the last week, the highest price paid being cents per share. The 'company - was incorporated about six- months ago with a capital stock of $3,000 in shares of 50 cents each, and since ' incorporating the company " has continued -developing their property, until now, they have the mine fairly opened, and -have about three hundred tons of ore on the dump.- The1 property is located, -thirty miles from Prineville. There; will be "a meeting.t the directors of the company ' next Monday, and it is thought steps will be taken to put up a mill this fall. The mill contemplated is a four-stamp prospecting mill, capa ble of working from seven to ten tons of ore in twenty-four hours, and will meet the present demands in prospecting the mines. The Review has always held to the idea tliat there were valuable min eral deposits in that connty and has frequently urged tho business men of Prineville to, encourage prospectors, and it now has reason to believe a rich thing has been struck on Ochoco, which will develop-into a paying andexten sive mine. . . . . , Died.

This corresponds with other reports which frequently have reached The Cheosjclk. Yesterday Mr. P. J. Driver, who has been threshing for him self and brothers, and others since har vest, reports some of the results of op erations as follows Robert Mays, 45 bushels of barley, 20 bushels of wheat, per acre.

Cascade Locks, Sept. - 5. -Events transpiring during the past week have not revealed anything of importance, save tbe old routine, which is reposing on the couch of delay, and is cause for comment. Yon were iniormed that the plans and specifications of tbe locks and canal were partly completed, and sent to the chief of the engineer department at Washington, and that the other portion would be forwarded in 'a few ' days ; which I believe has beon done, or will be done in a ehort time ; and as soon as examined and passed no doubt will be advertised, if former advices are to be relied on. There is a deal of red tape in the whole thincr, and there is a great deal of railroad influenceorm'uat it, con tinually worked in, and it will be one of the seven or eleven wonders of the world if you or I ever have an opportunity to get' through the great thoroughfare any other way than on sole leather.. The D. P. & A. N. Co. flatter them selves that they soon will send their steamers through to Astoria, laden with the products of the Inland Empire, by this route. We think they may, but when they do, their steamers will be new ones, instead of what they are run ning now. " - . . We hear that some of your enterpris ing citizens are planning to bid on the canal ;. also, that there are several large contractors in Portland hankering after the job when the good time comes. Forest fires, and especially fires along the river, haye done a deal of damage. A few days ago, Mr. Hamilton . had nearly, one hundred cords of wood burned near Herman creek, and several farmers had fences burned and more or lees property destroyed. . These fires along the railroad track, which are frequent,' are caused., by : sparks from engines, without a shadow of doubt. ..HISTORIC REMINISCENCES. The old block-honse, just opposite, is almost ready to lay its glory down, and be numbered with the things that have been. This old structure was built in the winter of 1855-56, by order of Gen. Wool, 'I believe, and was. occu pied by a detachment of infantry for a short time during the Yakima Indian war. Just below, on the river bank, about two miles away, was another one, in, which Gen. Sheridan,' then second lieutenant, was quartered, and where, it is said, he "smelled -the first gunpow der."- This -one .has long since fallen, and partly -washed into, the.riyerj.by the: crumbling banks giving away to the in fluence of floods. The place is only known now by the name of Sheridan Point. : The upper block-house, while historic in a degree, has none of - the glory- that hovers over the spot of Sheridan Point, ior. there was where men's, souls were tried in defending themselves and those who were nnder their care, against the hostile tribes who congregated at, the Middle Cascades for the purpose ' of massacre and to hold the whole country from .being occu pied by; the whites. I think the last log is gone, and the spot ia only known in memory. .t-V? A l '. Col. Sinnott,' of your city, conceived the plan of taking down the upper block-bouse some time ago,. and remov ing it to the' worlds ' fair" at 'Chicago.
