Grover Cleveland today pressed the button, and Chicago will do the rest. A number of ladies from The Dalles went up to Celilo today to watch the fisheries. A large excursion from Portland will come through tonight, bound for Chicago. No cut in rates has yet been an nounced at this office from $98.50 to Chicago and return. The railroads will be tested to their full passenger capacity from now until the close of the world's fair. The members of the Y. W. C. T. U. are requested to meet at the free reading room this evening at 7 :30 o'clock sharp. Mrs. J. A. Richardson, who is the guest of Mrs. W. E. Garret son, will re turn to her home in Salem on Wednes day. The wind blew furiously at the "Wil lows and stations beyond yesterday, the gale being estimated to be 60 miles an honr. West-bound passengers last night told of seeing a horse and shattered buggy at - the foot of a high bluff three miles east of Arlington, evidently the finale of a runaway. A notice has been filled by the Umatilla Columbia Irrigation Company, appropriating 50,000 inches of water from the Umatilla river for irrigation V and domestic purposes. Since work has commenced on the world's fair grounds in Chicago, ten men have been killed outright, eight have died from wounds received while in service and 610 have been injured. Mrs. Emery Campbell tenders her sin cere thanks and gratitude to the many frient, and the order A. O. U. W. for their kindness and sympathy during the illness and sad funeral rites of her late husband. Levi Clanton of Centerville called on The Chronicle Saturday evening. He is one of the best-known merchants of the country across the river and by his chqprfnl disposition and square dealing he has won a host of friends. The Portland Dispach reports that the Sunday Mercury was sold under mort gage to O. P. Mason for $7,500. The mortgage was owned by Mrs. Rebecca 1 Vaughn, widow of Frank Vaughn, given " by Ben P. Watson, son-in-law of Judge X. Mason. Three 8wias gentlemen were registered at the Columbia hotel this morning. They are visiting the United States and IS- PEASE stopped off to see the country around here, having heard considerable about this section. They will shortly go to Chicago to see the fair. Capt. Short of the Dalles City, pro poses to try to run the Dalles City up the rapids at the locks during high water this year. If he is successful it will prove that the Columbia is naviga ble at the Cascades during high water anyway. The river is rising slowly. The D. P. & A. N. Co.'s lower wharf is under water to the depth of three feet and five-tenths. The rise in the last four days has been only one foot and one-tenth. The cool weather has bad a tendency to check the melting of the snow in the mount ains, which has had a telling effect o the rise in the river. Mignonette Club. On Saturday evening the Mignonette club gave a dancing party to its mem bers and friends at Fraternity hall. The hall was well filled, about thirty couples being present. The music com menced about 8:30 o'clock and until 11 :30 Terpsichore reigned supreme, and the ball was a continued whirl of pretty costumes and merry fans. The evening was very pleasant and all tended to en hance the pleasure of the time. Among those present were Mr and Mrs L E Crowe, Mr and Mrs C J Crandall, Mr and Mre C L Phillips, Capt and Mrs F H Sherman, Judge and Mrs G C Blake ley, Mr and Mrs J C Coatsworth, Mr and Mrs W E Garretson, Mr and Mrs H J Maier, Mrs J H Phirman, Mrs M French, Mrs G St Johns, Miss Fern side, Misses Daisy Hampshire, Etta Story, Annie Williams, Virginia and Grace Marden, Alma and Edith Schmidt, Minnie Gosser, Jessie Lown, Lora Mor ris, Lizzie FitzGerald, Lulu Bird, Maryl and Isabella McDonald, Messrs Jno!

Convention of Christian Endeavor. Portland, April 28. We were a little late in arriving at the hurch to attend the sun rise prayer eeting, but a hundred Christian En- eavorers were there on time (6 :30) and he consecration was very manifest. t 9 o'clock a service of song was en- oyed by .all. From 9 :20 to 10 reports of county and denominational secretaries. Then followed reports of the societies the state ; two items from each society mely, number of members in the so- ety and any lines of special work taken p by the society ; The Dalles First Con- regational society reported a total mem ership of 54 with no line of special work. wish your readers could have heard some of thereports, they were extremely interesting. At 11:15 the convention sermon by Rev. I. D. Driver D.D. of Eugene whose subject, "Inspiration of the Scriptures" was very helpful. His arguments were along the line of a legal standpoint and were unanswerable. At noon a fine lunch was served in the lecture room of the church, at which your delegates endeavored to do ample justice. At 1 :30 denominational parliaments at which time the several denominations met in separate parts of the church for consultation and the election of a de nominational secretary. We Congre gationlists elected Rev. C. H. Curtis, of Portland for our secretary. At 2 :15 the symposium on the pledge was given, dividing it in the following divisions. a. Our willing service. b. Prayer and Bible reading. c. Supporting my own church. d. My duty in every prayer meeting. e. Remembering the prayer meeting in my absence. From 2 :50 o'clock to 3 :50 was called the missionary hour, and we started with the home missions of the great west; visiting Hawaii and learning something of the social and religious life of the people. We then listened to Mr. Joe Hawk of Quon Tong, China ; Then Mrs. Akerman told us of her trip of 90,000 miles in the interest of the Womans Christian Temperance Union, the coming home by way of New York. Rev. W. B. Floyd gave us a talk on C. E. evangelistic work and city missions. Then the Chinamen sang for us "Tell me the old old story," which was very nicely rendered. A Delegate. Square Up.

Hello there boss, you have my job. Who comes next for a position in Umatilla? Hugh Farmer accepted a job hoatliug in The Dalles today. The boys are having a great game of chase and catch for jobs. Engine 546 has been laid in for re pairs. She is now ready for duty. Haslam and Harry are lucky in catch ing the helper. Harry says the helper can't be beat. Geo. Avery, who has been in Umatilla hostling for about a year, is now firing the 548 for Sherman. W. H. Congdon accepts a passenger run , as seniority dislocated him and sends him from Umatilla. Mike Nolan accepted a job in Uma tilla hostling, as seniority deprives him of his position in The Dalles. Pap Power who has been under the weather for some time, has taken Mont gomery's run while Monty is East. Montgomery has taken a leave of ab sence, and Hugh Farmer is doing the. reverse lever act in his place, "the merry Farmer boy." Joslyn and Douglas doubled the road so nicely last Friday, they seem to think if they were given half a show they could do the same thing every day. Joe Reedy is now running the 443 since Haslam took the 384 for helper. Joe says that he is satisfied, for he can pull more with the 443 than any or dinary 1400. Foster looses his run with Mr. Sher man, whom he has been firing for a long time. Sherman and Foster got along splendidly together, and worked agreea bly to each others interests. Jake Florin has taken a leave of ab sence to attend the world's fair. He passed through The Dalles Sunday. Jake is held in high esteem by the boys, and it is hoped he will not have occasion to regret the trip. The 520 came in with her happy little crew Saturday evening from Viento. The boys say they enjoy coming to the city of The Dalles once or twice a month so they can keep track of the improve ments of the city, as the growth of the city is astonishing.

Miller of Monument gave The Chronicle office a pleasant call to day. The mining interests of Grant county are more interesting than for years past. New discoveries are being made and developments are proving very satisfactory in the different sec tions. With the immense body of snow in the mountains this year it will ena ble the placer mines to be worked with more vigor and better paying results than formerly. The quartz discoveries are more encouraging as the different ledges are penetrated, and in the near future will be the center of attraction. Wamic News. Wamic, April 29, 1893. The business outlook for this year is exceptionally good. The telephone people have all of their business definitely arranged and expect to have the line ready for use in July. The good people of Wamic have or ganized a union Sunday school. The school meets every Sunday at 10 a. m. Martin Wing, the patriarch saw mill man, has been slashing away for two weeks or more. He makes good lumber and has one of the most picturesque old mills in Christendom, a regular "artist's delight." The Luee & Woodcock saw mill will start up in a few days. This enterpris ing firm had their entire plant destroyed by fire last year, but they have come up Phcenix-like with a larger and better mill than ever. I would like very much to be able to describe all of the grand scenes, the great material wonders, and that almost limitless menagerie of wild animals be tween here and Mt. Hood. A short letter, such as this is intended to be, will only answer as a hint. Our enterprising fellow townsman, Mr. S. A. Broyles, is making prepara tions to open a first-class county hotel here. This is an establishment very much needed. Hereafter tourists to that great "wonderland," including all of that "untamed" region between here and Mt. Hood, will find at the Hotel Wamic a delightful and safe headquar ters. Mrs. E. P. Roberta lost a pair of nickel-plated spectacles, enclosed in a case, and stamped on one side in gilt, "Reed & Malcolm." The finder will oblige the owner by leaving them at this office. Real Estate.
