Arrangments have been made to test
the legality of the cigarette law in Wash
ington. The U. S. Land office officials in this
city have been as busy as it is possible
for men to be for the past few days, re
ceiving filings on the overlap of the
Northern Pacific land grant in this dis
trict. U There will be a meeting of the Alumni
of the W. X. A. at the residence of Mrs.
L. E. Crowe this evening at 7 :30 o'clock
sharp. A full attendance is requested
as there is important business to com
before the meeting.
That road above the Methodist-
church, which has been the subject of
so much talk, is in an almost impassa

somewhat if the loose rocks, old tin
cans, etc., were thrown out.
TSugene A. Brackett, who was in
dicted by the grand jury in Grant
county, quite a while since, for the crime
of embezzlement, was convicted of the
charge at the recent term of circuit
court there. He was school clerk of
Canyon City precinct and absconded
after having squandered several hun
dred dollars of school money. Gam
bling was his ruin.
According to a law enacted by the last
legislature it is unlawful to shoot upon
or from the public highways. Another
law not so apparently useless, is that
persona driving stock along a public
highway, leaving such road obstructed
with stones, earth or other debris, leav
ing same to remain for twenty-four
hours, is guilty of a misdemeanor, whose
least punishment is $200.
The semi-annual session of the Sher

The fifth annual session of the Wash
ington State Grange, assembled at
White Salmon on June 6th, called to
order at 10 o'clock a. m. A large dele
gation of Patrons of Husbandry were in
attendance at the opening.
At 11 a. m. an open session of the
Grange was had for the entertainment
of invited guests, a large number of
whom had responded to a cordial invi
tation given them by the Grange.
Many friends from The Dalles and Hood
River availed themselves of the excur
sion trip of the steamer Regulator and
took the trip, grasping the hand and
breaking bread with the Granger.
At 5 p. m. the genial agent of the D.
P. & A. N. Co. announced that the best
of friends must part, and, after many
kind parting words, the teams conveyed
the guests to the steamer Regulator,,
after which the sons and daughters of
toil resumed their session.

were read.
After some other detail work the
Grange adjourned to meet June 7th, at

More Trouble.
The little Inland Star is perpetually
getting into trouble. In trying to make
a landing recently a spring line rope
caught in the propeller so as to render
it unmanageable. It fianally drifted
ddwn on to a rock, where at last ac
counts, it still remains, abandoned.

The concert to be given Friday even
ing, June 9th, by The Dalles string
band will undoubtedly be the musical
event of the season. The entrancing
strains of the violin, as interpreted by
Prof. Birgfeld, are well known to all of
our citizens, and it is just as well known
that there is no dearth of talent to
make a fitting complement. The high
est class of music will be rendered ; in
fact, nothing less is ever tolerated by
this orchestra, an,d the concert will be
equal to the best in anv city.
The following program will be given :
PART I.
Overture Beatrice
Selection Faust
Cornet Solo On the Rhine
PART II.

The Coming Man.
"Got a pin?"
The reporter looked dewn at the ur
chin from whom came the innocent in
quiry and there met a look of solicitude
that prompted him to ask what he
wanted of a pin. "Why, then' you can
see our show,'' said the little fellow.
He was the spokesman, and the largest
of a number of little boys ranging from
4 to 6 years, all of whom had more or
less pins sticking in their pinafores.
The pin was produced, and the show
exhibited, which consisted of a number
of pictures pasted in the bottom of a
pasteboard box. Who will say that we
have not in The Dalles growing business
men?

OPEN COURT.
A Washington Judjf Who Does Not Take
All Day For a Killing.
Attorney Riddell went over into Wash
ington yesterday on court business be
fore Judge Smith. Arriving at the jus
tice dispensary he was directed to
Smith's bouse for the missing judge, a
short distance in the country. Hf re-he
was again referred to- the field, where,
the judge in his shirt sleeves, and a
broad straw hat, perched on a mowing
machine, was cutting hay. Riddell
stated his mission and the judge said,
"wait till I get to the corner." After
driving to the corner of the field, and
squaring around the machine ready for
the next swath, the judge said, "now.
proceed." "Your honor," said Riddell,
putting one foot on the circumference of
the wheel, and looking up at the sweat
ing court, "I wish to make a motion for
default in the case of .''
"Granted. Court's adjourned. Git
up, you lazy brutes. What are you
foolin' about?"
"Good day, judge."
"Good day," was the somewhat in
distinct response, as the song of the
sickle contended for auricular attention,
and Riddell, with an amused smile,
turned homeward.
Among the Antiquarians.
Many antique curiosities are to be
found in The Dalles for a little search
ing. O. Kinersly recently exhibited to
us a land patent for 160 acres in the
territory of Arkansas, granted to An
drew Michael April 23, 1821. "in pursu
ance of the act of congrefs appropriat
ing and granting land to the late army
of the United States, pafsed on and
since the 6th day of May, 1812." At
tached is the bold signature of James
Monroe, president . of the United
States.
S. B. Adams has in his possession a
deed issued in the time of George III,
which has been handed down through
the successive generations. It recites,
that Noah Griswold releases 50 acres of
land in the township of Windsor, county
of Hartford, colony of Connecticut, to
his son, "this 23th day of September,
in the 13th year of the reiirn of cur fov
ereign lord, GEORGE the Third, of
Great Britain, A. D. 1773."
H. C. "Nielsen, when a boy in Schles
wig, Germany, dug up a number of old
coins which are yet in his possession,
some of which show evidence of great
age. They are of brass and copper.
One bears the impression of Frederick
III, and dated 1660. Another has a rep
resentation of the sun, moon and seven
stars and the inscription Alexius, as
near as can be deciphered. This is
thought to mean Alexander the Great.
A number of others have the likenesses
of the Roman profile, others the Greek,
with their peculiar semi-circular head
dress. They have been stamped upon
dies by malleable force, the edges are
rough and the coin unsymetrical. They
are probably of great value, though Mr.
Nielsen has never taken the trouble to
inquire.
Coroner's inquest.
We the undersigned, the jury empan
neled to inquire into the cause of the
death of Amos Bills, after having all of
the testimony offered before us, hereby
find that the said Amos Bills came to
his death by drowning while attempting
to cross the John Day river in a small
boat, and that no person is in any way
connected with the death of said de
ceased, and that the drowning of said
deceased was an unavoidable accident.
