No country under the sun can produce finer weather than we of The Dalles are now enjoying. Crisp mornings, and bright genial sunny days. Only . 1.15 of rain last monih ; but it wet us some. A party of four from the Urfigoni'an staff, went through en route homeward on trie night train from a wild goose chase up in Sherman county. They had forty fine fat geese as tiophies of the trip. .

The $925 is to cover the loss of money and valuables, while the $25,000 he wants to pay him for the inconvenience of the fright. jWhen the market value of real good scare reaches lima will be plenty. that figure vie Prof. Gavan informs us that the num ber of pupils now enrolled in The Dalles public schools is larger than for any previous Thanksgiving time in fb'ir years. In 18S8 there were 431 pupils enrolled. '89, 443: '90,426; '91, 460. The ten teachers we have here to direct this youthful army have not much time for, recreation. Doc Taylor and Josh Hardy have re turned from their Wild Goose Chase. While coming home Doc says Josh never ppoke a word for about ten miles, then he asked the conundrum : "If one wild goose 1 36 1 s a man $8.00, how much would a flock cost?" Doc decided that it de pended on the size of the flock and how high they flew. The inference is left that tbey were not in luck Wm. H. Michell, a very r pular young man, formerly cashier at the IT. P. office in this city, and sou of Mr. Philip E. Michell of Columbus, Wash., finally succumbed to the dread disease consumption, at tbe borne of bis par ents and died this morning.

Those attending from The Dalles were Judge Blakeley, Dr. H. Logan, Hon. Cbas. Hilton, Wm. McCrum, Itichard Closter, H. Clough, W. H. Lochhe-d,1 L. Booth, Jos. Erhart, and William Kel sey of Antelope. A delegation from Cascade Locks was also present, includ ing Ur. Leavina, Messrs. iLildall, illiams, and several others. Visiting rothers pay Hood River lodge a high compliment on the efficiency of their ork. Their hospitality is unlimited. Speaking of tbe present run of Royal Uiinook salmon in the Columbia, ' the Oregonian yesterday endorsed Tbe CflKONicxK upon tbe subject by saying: "When the young salmon once departs from the fresh water in which he was lorn, he diaappears in tbe depths of the ocean, no one knows where, and does not return until be is a fall-grown fish 4 years of age. This is the reason why the chinook salmon' caught in the lumbia are of such unifornT size. ley are aH four years of age, with but w exceptions." And, our contempo rary might have added : the fish could not batch ftm the spawn during the height of the fishing season, because of tbe miles of lead lines and otber traps, wheels, etc., thev must of course, have batched later in the season, which accounts for tbe present ran ; and wbich, if permitted to spawn in peace will account for an increased run four years hence, D cember 1896.

It is well known that at the fire last year the only articles saved from the church was the pulpit bible and a few chairs. The collection taken up last night was for the purpose of purchasing hymnals. WTe felt very much like suggesting to Rev. Mr. Whis ler, after the collection, that the money be counted then and there, and if not sufficient for the purpose that another collection b j pre seed d with at once, for the concert was very worthy of a liberal contribution for its excellence.

THE TIME TO SKLL . HORSES. Experience of u Orefoulan li Tba Markets of Indiana. In an interview with James Elkins, who has just returned from Indiana. where be went in October with a lead of horses to find a market more readv than at home he -said that he sold out his lot of horses, mostly, unbroken, at rom $62 to $50, netting after all ex penses, about $35 dollars which he con siders too low. If it had been in th spring season he could have realized $40 to 45 net, from the good class he had at which prices a man could go out of the business fairly well. The farmers in the states sell off their surplus hors: - in the- fall, to save feed, expecting to supply their need of teams in the spring. Some parties netted but from $15 tT $20, and one man got but $4.50 ; -r bead for his horses. This stock, however, was of a smaller grade, from Montana, thous ands of wh'ch have been shipped to tbe slates, causing a degr-e of prejudice against western horses, and if unbroke, buyers are shy of them. The market in South Dakota has been good the p ,i summer. Tbere now being no market for the herds of horses raised in E.:stern Oregon, the Willamette valley and sound in try, the only chance to realize any ng from that industry lies in shipp"-i$ to a distant but expensive market.- V -. Elkins made the trip to learn the best ways of handling stock and to find si market where he might dispose of bis herd next summer. South Dakota he considen d as good a state to go to as any in the spring and not so far to ship. Cume one Come all.

In a very short tme the motor line to Oregon City will be in operation, and one more link con necting the city with the district be tween its boundaries and the Clacka mas river will be forged. Everything of this kind adds emphasis to the fact that all the territory north of that river should be annexed - to Multnomah county, to which it js contiguous and of which it is naturally, topographically and commercially already a part.'. The sentiment i favor of this is growing steadily among tbe people living on both sides of the present line, and es pecially those south of it, who would be the most favorably effected bv the change and are naturally the" most deeply interest 1. Restrict Immigration. Portland Chronicle. ' Sentiment in favor of restriction of immigration must have made wonderful, progress in the country when - statesmen speak out boldly in favor of total exclusion for a period of years. This is undoubtedly the only effectual remedy, but there has hitherto been so much timidity on the part of politicians and the- r. jlitica1 p ess in approach' Dg this subject, that such comparatively bold utterances pro voke surprise. It is a hopeful sign, for it shows a belief on their prt that the country has been edncatvl to -a point where it will endorse the only practica ble remedy for the immigration evil, the complete closing of the gates. .
