" He stood upon the ocean's sandy beach,
And with a reed he wrote upon the sand these words:
Prices Beyond Competition!
But the winds came, and the waves rolled mountain high,
And blotted out the fair impression.
Cruel waves, treacherous sand, fragile reed,
No longer will I trust to thee;
But from the mountain peak I'll pluck the tallest-pine,
And, dipped in the crater of Vesuvius, with it I'll write
Upon the high and burnished sky these tender words:"
Pease & Mays have the fairest priced goods in Dalles City;
They are now offering their Spring line at such equitable
Prices as would almost take your breath away, and I
Would like to see any dog-goned wave wash that out!

Baker's Jag.
The Salem Independent tells of a fear
ful spree lately indulged by Frank C.
Baker, state printer, in which his wife
fled for safety, while he was left alone in
the house in monarchial possession.
He began picking up chairs and hurled
them through the closed windows ; then
followed lamps, dishes, and everything
on the lower floor that he could get his
hands on. The front door sash is
broken all to pieces, as are also the win
dows in the rear of the house ; the floors
of the rooms in the lewer story are
littered with broken glass, dishes and
furniture, and the house looks as though
it had been sacked by a mob.
Two years ago Mr. Baker went on a
spree and raised "old Ned" generally.
He smashed to pieces hundreds oi dol
lars' worth of furniture, cut to pieces his
wife's sealskin sacque, and upset nearly
everything in the house. Not content
with this, he slapped both his wife and
stepdaughter, then took a canary bird
from its cage, plucked out all the feath
ers and flung it into the yard to die in
agony. For all this. Judge Goodell
fined him $10 and costs, amounting in
all to about $15. Such travesty on jus
tice could probably not be found outside
of Salem.

ENTOMOLOGIST TO BE HERE.
Mr. Koeklo Will Soon Address the Peo
ple of The Dalles.
Towards the end of April Mr. Albert
Koeble, a valuable special agent of the
:overnment in the entomological line,
ill visit The Dalles. Mr. Koeble is one
f the most trusted agents of the gov
ernment, possessing a love for his work,
having traveled extensively and having
been successful in finding and procuring
parasites for many pests. He has the
sincere confidence of Prof. C. V. Riley,
United States entomologist at Washing
ton, who sends him, and that gentleman
asks the hearty co-operation and atten
tion of all fruit-growers when he arrives.
Mr. Koeble discovered and was in
strumental in introducing into Califor
nia the famous Verdalia Cardinalis, or
lady bird, which saved the orange trees
of that state from the ravages of the
Icerya purchasi, or cottony cushion
scale. The government recently sent
Mr. Koeble to Australia, Japan and
other foreign countries to study and dis
cover, is possible, other beneficial in
sects, and the result of this trip was the
importation of many beneficial insects.
Mr. Koeble has many charts illustrating
various injurious and beneficial insects,
with the assistance of which he will be
able to give very interesting talks.
Much information can be gained, not
only regarding insects, but also in re
gard to the quarantine laws in other
states, the mode of working orchards,
curing and handling fruit, and working
up a market. In a letter Mr. Riley
state?, as another object of his mission
that M r. Koeble will make observations
on the hop plant louse and conduct cer
tain experiments as a verification- of re
sults he has already had in New York,
of which it is probable, the San Jose
scale is one. The Cheoniclb will give
notice a few days in advance of his ar
rival when and where he will speak.

Keno Mildly Criticised Grorer'i Policy

It is refreshing to see the young or
chards that are being started here
This is no doubt a choice fruit country,
and upon this industry we must largely
depend for success.
The old timers (mossbacks) have gone
to work in earnest digging fish bait, an
something will be done to benefit man
kind if they don't tire out, or if th
spring fever does not strike them.
The new comers (which includes us)
are plowing and planting, grubbing aud

in a bountiful harvest, etc.
I congratulate you upon the improved
condition of The Cheoniclb. Editori
ally and typographically it is hard to

and, with a slight effort, a large list of
subscribers could be secured at this
office.
Keno's items on candidates attending

that is to "get a move on itself" and
that is to be "strictly in it," and stating
that as a liar he is not "in it," would be.
witty if the slang could be expunged
from the otherwise pungent article.
Slang, like bad spelling, will spoil the
keenest wit. These particular expres
sions are too old for further use ; they
are like ticks on a horse out of tick sea
son, really no ornament in their time.
The second reign of Grover the first is
not giving entire satisfaction among the
faithful here. He gives his party less
satisfaction than any president who has
ever ruled over this nation. This dis
like does not spring from his veto of the
widow's pension bill, nor from his doff
ing his hat to a rebel flag, for these
things were known before his election,
but it springs from the fact that the
democratic king proposes to appoint to
office men who are qualified for the
office, according to Grover's own indi
vidual ideas.
Fuse must must have riz' under this
free trade administration. A. Single
ton, a poor, but highly respected home
steader near here, improvised a fuse
with a honeysuckle filled with black
powder, which he connected with the
main charge, and after properly tamp
ing it, he ignited the fuse with a match
and retreated, but not in good order.
Not being quite as quick as lightning he
did not reach a safe distance before the

ignorance was bliss-tered.
Cholerine is the latest fashionable
epidemic spoken of here for the coming

line of internal bacteria this summer it
is cholerine ; it is ultra fashionable.

THROTTLE AND CAB.
Meaty Morsels of News and Gossip for
Trainmen.
Ollie Barrett is on the sick list.
Engine 546 is laid in for a few re
pairs. Joe Reedy is running the 560 during
Barrett's illness.
Engineer Erhart is running the 380
instead of 546. Joe says the 380 is a
noble machine.
Jim Nickle and Joe Wilson came in
with the 520 oft' of the work train at
Viento to have some work done on Sat
urday eve, and returned this morning.
The roadbed between this place and
Portland will soon be the most substan
tial in the state. The company have
two work trains filling in trestles and
will not take them off until all trestles
are filled.
The boys on the work trains at Viento
are very fortunate in securing such an
excellent cook as they have. She serves
up a dish for dessert the boys call "opidil
doc" that cannot be beaten for its ex
cellent flavor.
Fireman Brown is back on his run
again after an extensive lay-off. He
says there is no place like home, and
that he shall be contented to remain at
The Dalles and not roam again in south
ern latitudes. And Smokey says "I am
with you."
The following verses were written for
Brakemau J. F. Shannon at Viento,
whose dog was killed by No. 8 on April
1st, 1893. The boys all feel very sad
and try to console Mr. Shannon in his
hours and days of distress.
Dog Shannon now is dead,
Of course this you all know,
And this is what makes my pard sad
As we to work do go!
Now, Doggy Shannon she did go
A-walking on the track,
When Curtis and his 'jine came by
And broke her little back.
When Jack first discovered her
She was lying on the rail ;
Her head was prostrate on the bank
And on the track her tail.
Now, Jack went to the section boss.
And unto Rim did say :
"Won't you be kind enough, dear 6ir,
To bury her today."
The day was very stormy,
The songs and words were few,
And Frank did gently bury her
Without much ado.
Now, Jack, I know you won't be mad,
It would not do, you know,
You saw the piece I wrote for Booze
About a year ago.
You laughed at me about the bird
That wouldn't go to church,
And little did I then expect
To get vou in the lurch .
But now, dear Jack, we'll call it square
xnai ib, ii you so cnoose,
I mean this for a memorial
Just like I wrote for Booze.

CANNING COMPANY.
A Long-Needed Industry to Be Estab
lished In The Dalles.
Articles of incorporations were filed
today by The Dalles Fruit Drying and
Packing Co. with head office at The
Dalles. The capitol stock is $5,000.
The incorporators are S. B. Adams, C.
E. Chisman, Hugh Chrisman and W. K.
Corson. They are already busily en
gaged working up the trade, and secur
ing fruit-ime man s Uiup haUal ready
"been engaged at a cent and a half per
pound. S. B. Adams will shortly go to
Portland and Salem to look over the
modus operandi of like establishments
with a view to make the establishment
here one of the most thorough-going in
the Northwest. The famous Chrisman
fruit dryer will be used, which is the
best model so far known.
The Dalles has long wanted an estab
lishment of this kind, and The Chroni
cle is very glad to announce its incep
tion, which bids fair to assume colossal
proportions. Its incorporators are men
of well-known business capacity and
financial ability, and the way they are
commencing is an earnest of the sub
stantial and reliable business they are
sure to build up. It is refreshing to
chronicle an event of this kind, in view
of the many enterprises, started with
flattering promises only to collapse in
the years agone.

Dog Fennel.
The very common and much despised
but odoriferous dog-fennel is not indige
nous to Oregon soil. The Guard ac
counts for its presence in the Yamhill
valley by the fact of a farmer receiving a
TlflflrftCP of rapH frrtm a frtonrt in f V,A
3 O - w... . . ...... v . . 11 111,'
East, who insisted that it would produce
"beautiful flowers." The seed was
sparingly divided around the neighbor
hood, and a grand crop of dog fennel
was the result, much to the disgust of
the ladies.
Patent medicines differ One has
reasonableness, another has not. One
has reputation another has not. One
has confidence, born of success, another
has only "hopes." Don't take it for
granted that all patent medicines are
alike. They are not. Let the years of
uninterrupted success and the tens of
thousands of cured and happy men and
women, place Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery and Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription on the side of the compari
son to which they belong. And there
isn't a state Or territory, no nor hardly
a country in the world, whether its peo
ple realize it or not, but have men and
women in them that're happier because
of their discovery and their effects.
Think of this in health. Think of it in
sickness. And then think whether you
you can afford to make the trial if the
makers can afford to take the risk to
give your money back, as they do, if
they do not benefit or cure you.
