Doc Sing, one of the most intelligent
of our Chinamen here, called at the
Chbonicxe office today for information
about the Chinese question. He was
much surprised to learn that the Geary

Doc laughed at the idea of there being
a war, though agreeing that if Chinese
are deported Americans will undergo a
similar experience in China. He is
hopeful that the matter will be adjusted
with the lapse of time, satisfactorily to
all concerned.
Directory of Dalles City.
Mr. Frank Deye has perfected ar
rangements for the issue, June 20th,
prox., of a Columbian Year Directory of
Dulles City. Only two directories of the
city have ever been issued the first in
18S3' by Mr. Thomas H. Ward, and the
second, under his copyright, in 3SSi.
Mr. W ard has extended the privileges of
bis copyright to Mr. Deye, so that the
work is fully fortified against infringe
ment or interference.
The directory of this year will be in
corporated in and become a part of the
b ;atory of Oregon, as it will mark an
era in the state's progress, and stand
for reference and comparison from now
ill the next Columbian year. It will
nclude portraits of prominent citizens
and pictures of many of the elegant pri
vate residences of the city, cuts of public
buildings, churches and business blocks,
ame and street directories, statistics,
istories of Wasco county and Dalles
ity, and other valuable information,
general and particular.
The publisher is an old newspaper
man and an artist, and' in the latter
capacity will make a majority of the
drawings.
This is an enterprise that besides giv
ing us a directory, which time and
changes have rendered an absolute ne
cessity, will add to the importance of
the city. It will be placed in the prin
cipal hotels of San Francisco, Portland,
tbe Sound cities and Victoria, and will
be on file at the Oregon club in Chicago
and in ihe Oregon building in the
world's fair grounds. The work on it
will be done in the city, and as a home
product will be a credit to all con
cerned publisher, printers, natrons
nd people.
Good Job Printing.
If yon have your iob nrintins done at

vantage of having it done with the most

PERSONAL MENTION.
Messrs. G. Blackerby of Wapinitia
and L. Klinger of Dufur are in the city
today.
W. S. Benham, of the widely-known
and favorite house of Benham, Trum
bell & Co. of Chicago, came to The
Dalles today. Mr. Benham's is a
friendly face in the city, and his busi
ness and social friends will be glad to
welcome him.

justice of the peace.
Superiority of Foreign Productions.
A young man of The Dalles of German
descent, recently married, has just had
an experience which he acknowledges
will serve as a lesson throughout all his
after life. His name, for obvious rea
sons, is withheld, but we will vouch for
the facts. Wishing to procure a meat
cutter as good as that used by his mother
in the old country, he sent to Germany
for it, and in due time the machine
came from across the ocean. After
opening the box the first thing that
struck his eye were the directions for
using in English and not in German,
as he expected. But to cap tbe climax,
a trade mark, neatly cast in the iron,
read, manufactured in U. S. A. The
machine had been imported to Ger
many and re-shipped across the ocean
to Oregon, costing about twice as much
as he would have to pay for it here.

MOSIER MUSINGS.
Alex. Watt Dangerously Wounded With
an Adz.
Hoeing weeds and doing some tardy
planting is the order of the day.
Rev. Frank Ireland will deliver a ser
mon in district No. 52 next Sunday,
giving the infidels a scoring and proving
the benefit of Christian discipline.
A new store is to be started here in
connection with the postoffice by J.
Mosier. A blacksmith ehop is also to be
erected near the depot soon.
Ales. Watt was dangerously wounded
last week while using an adz. The tool
slipped, entering the calf of his leg, en
tirely severing tbe large artery which
communicates the blood to that member.
He was over a mile from home, and in
attempting to reach there bad proceeded
but a short distance when he nearly
fainted from the loss of blood. He
raised an alarm and Rev. Mr. Stark
hearing him, mounted a horse and went
to the rescue. Mr. Watt was taken
home, every thing done to staunch the
flow of blood and a doctor summoned.
The wound proved to be a very danger
ous one, but with proper nursing he will
be about before long.
A. Daggett, while attempting to make
the station in a new boat recently built,
on Tuesday, came very near being cap
sized. Mr. Daggett is not much of a
boatman, which fact he acknowledges,
and while in the center of the river the
wind came up, tossing his boat in a
fearful manner. How he reached land
he does not know, but he thanks his
lucky stars that he got there, and de
clares that he prefers to enter the
"pearly gates'' by land.

POSTAGE STAMP COLLECTORS.
A Field Actively Covered by tbe " Phi
latelist." "All the world's a stage" at least
in the eyes of the born dramatist'. To
the mind of the born "philatelist" it
appears to present itself as a vast field
for the exercise of the energies of the
postage stamp collector. From the
new monthly of the Philatelic society
of London we gather that the vice
president of that society, accompanied
by the honorary secretary of the
Brighton society and one other enthu
siastic member of the latter body, is
now on a tour around the world in
quest of these cherished trifles and
meeting with sympathizing souls in
various parts.
. Mr. Castle's latest letter descriptive
of. his mission is dated from Bombay,
which has. it seems, a society of its
own, and has left on the minds of Mr.
Castle and his companions "the most
favorable philatelic impressions."
Meanwhile numerous other philatel
ists, as will be seen, are "posting over
land and ocean without rest," impelled
by the same absorbing passion.
One chivalrously stands forth in de
fense of Prince Edward Island from
the unmerited contempt of the indo
lent philatelists who have spoken dis
paragingly of its postage stamp pro
ductiveness; another takes Fiji in
hand, while a gentleman -who has ex
amined the great work of Mr. Tiffany
and his associates, just completed, on
the subject of "The Stamped En
velopes and Wrappers of the United
States," reports that the list includes
no fewer than sixteen hundred and
forty-three varieties.
Worried the Speaker.
It is the petty vexations of life that
perplex and annoy Secretary Carlisle.
Big things disturb him but little.
While he was speaker it became neces
sary for him to appoint two elevator
boys, and the worry entailed on him in
his endeavor to select the fittest two
out of fifty applicants upset him more
than any other event of his whole term
of office. "I wish that elevator would
sink," he said one day, after running
the gauntlet of a dozen beseeching
mothers. "I never could understand
the need of an elevator in the house,
anyway."
