There is a deposit of 3 inches of Bilt,
or sediment from the muddy water of
the Columbia, uniformly covering the
D. P. & A. Nav. Co.'s dock at the foot of
Court street. It is better there than in

Mr. Geo. M. Home, a .well known
scene painter of Portland, arrived on

The last meeting of the Young People's
Whist club was held last evening. A
large number were in attendance and
the cloeing evening was a merry one.
All expressed themselves sorry that the
season was over and said the ? whist
meetings would be missed. Although
this was the last gathering for whist, a
dance will be given by the members
next Wednesday evening at which a few
of their friends will be bidden.
Mr. Frank Allen, who is in town to
day from Mitchell, says that Hamblet is
still in the John Day country, and being
vigorously hunted. He has declared he
will never be taken alive, and has so far
been successful in keeping from falling
into the hands of pursuers. He had a
close call the other day, however, a party
caught sight of him and fired - several
shots at him, but he got away. The
only hope his pursuers have is to catch
him when he.is compelled to get sup
plies. The. county has a standing re
ward of $750 for him. -
Some youthful parties, with more dia
mond than thoughtfulness have defaced
two of the large plate-glass windows in
the postoffice block by scratching names
on them. These windows cost $125 each
and are damaged to that extent. The
merchants generally are indignant over
the witless, action, and if the parties
can be discovered they will doubtless be
given more prominence than - are. the
names on the glass, which are there to
stay. Chalk and pencils, are. bad
enough, but when diamonds are used to
deface - valuable plate-glass show win
dows it is time to call a' halt.
Can't Furnish Understanding-. '
: ' f Vw
A newspaper can supply 'reading mat
ter to itfl patrons,' but not1 brains to in
terpret it withi If every statement
difficult to the understanding oi a 5-year-old
was accompanied by a diagram for
the benefit of older readers, The
Chronicle might resemble the puzzles
and answers --department o'f a .family
story 'paper.' W will depart from the
rule for the once, but it can not be
taken for -a precedent and must be so
understood. -.-When, we mention the
patriots who "fit" in the Revolution, we
make use of a more or less common ex
pression, in which a stone arch is the
simile for the Revolution, in which our
forefathers fit, as do the stones in the
aTch. .We regret exceedingly that our
contemporary is not gifted with, tfce in
telligence necessary to understand this
passage, but the Almighty only can sup
ply that deficiency. Nature may be aid
ed, however, by. study, and we recom
mend to him tht, reading of such simples
as "Robinson Crusoe" and "the Mother
Goose Melodies." As for the rest we re
affirm that cigarettes, opium and the
colored decoction of today misnamed
whisky were not incidental to the-Eight-eenth
century. .

The ground, on account of recent
rains, is last settling, making it possible
to step out and know you are on terra

bad for teamsters, being so badly cut. up
