single copy. Only black and white silk is used, all the exquisite
shading being obtained by the skillful use of the Triple Lopm.
It cost $8,Q00 to transfer the design from the Oil Painting to the
Loom and to produce the first copy. -

Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.
There are men from out whose lips .
No lie has ever come.
You doubting look? The men I mean
Were born both deaf and dumb.
Decoration day will be the next holi
day of national significance.
There is some apprehension that the
' river will equal the rise of 1876.
Mr. Chas. Schmidt has had . ripe
strawberries on hia premises for several
days.
A year ago today the water in the
river was 35.3 ieet. Today it is 33.5 and
rising rapidly.
The lady who wished to ascertain the
whereabouts of Thos. Weatherford will
communicate with The Chronicle
office.
A rousing republican meeting' was
. held at Endersby Saturday night. A
large number attended and the speaking
was said to be excellent.
The public schools close on Friday for
the summer vacation. An enterlain
, ment is being prepared for Saturday
evening, which will eclipse that of any
former year.
Mr. J. W. Ketchum brought in from
the sheep ranges about 2,000 sheep this
morning and shipped them from Salt-
. marshe & Co.'s stockyards to Troutdale
this afternoon. - .'
A fish wheel belonging to A. Winans
was, torn from its moorings and passed
by The Dalles today, going down river.
Efforts were made to save it, but were
only partially successful. It entails a
loss of between $500 and $300. . , .
' The Independent "Workers Lodge, No.
7, will give an ice cream social at their
hall on Monday evening. The admis
sion will be 25 cents. This will include
ice cream,, which will be served in soup
plates, and cake. The proceeds will be
used for providing the lodge with
regalias. Everybody is invited..
A leading populist made a remark
today that there was not the sound of a
hammer being heard in Wasco county.
, We know of half a dozen structures be
' ing erected now in The Dalles alone, and
if the populist in mind would exchange
the street corner for his own premises,
we might be able to add another, to the
: list of sounds. - .
Pat Evan, who was undnlv influenced
by too much corn-juice last evening, got
into an altercation with John Hull,
night bartender at the Colombia House.
Hull broke a beer glass ' over his head,
and he was taken to the city jail. The
injuries were such as to require the ser
vices of a physician and Dr. Hollister
was r- summoned, who rendered the
proper medical aid.
A grand republican rally will be held
at The Dalles on the 25th. Hon. R. G.
Horr will deliver the address. The Dalles
band and orchestra, will render the nec
essary music. Excursion rates will be
made from all points touched by the
Union Pacific and the D. P. & A. N. Co.
It is especially desired that as many as
possible of the leading republicans of
Gilliam, Sherman, Crook and Wasco
counties will be present.

A fake Lsnd Boom.
' A family named Levi arrived from the
Yakima country last night and took the
Regulator this morning for McMinnville
in search of a'permanent home. They
were induced to come from the East
from reading boom advertisements of a
section called Sunnyside, west of Pasco
in the Yakima valley. They pronounce
it the most stupendous fraud they ever
saw. They arrived while the snow was
on the ground and purchased some of
the land. When the snow went off they
discovered thatot was- a vast area of
alkali dust, and the farther down the
worse the alkali and the more the dust.
Nothing can be done without irrigation
and irrigation is impossible without
great trouble and expense ; and the wind
blows fearfully. Mr. Levi knows of
other eastern parties who have invested
heavily in Sunnyside real estate, who
are now furions at being duped. It is
probable several suits will be instituted
against the boomers of this worthless
section of country.
A Triumph of Weaving;.
The most artistic likeness of George
Washington ever in the city is on exhibi
tion in the center window of Pease &
Mays. At first glance it would be taken
for an unusually fine steel engraving, but
it is a picture woven with silk threads,
3&ch one of which is the smallest of tiny
threads. The picture is a reproduction
of . the .original, and in every way its
equal, which cost $800,000 to weave.
The copies cost $100 each, and it takes
three' expert weavers two and a half
months, to make it. Six hundred
thousand threads are required, woven on
a special triplicate loom at Lyons,
France. Altogether it. is an astonishing
triumph of the weaver's art.
- High. Water Probable.
The river is rising rapidly. At 8
o'clock Sunday morning the guage reg
istered 30.9. At 7 p. m. it stood 31.5,
and at 7 o'clock this morning the record
was 32.7, and at 2 o'clock 33.5, lacking
only 4.8 of approaching the high water
marlc of last year, which was June 14th.
A( Umatilla the river stood this morn
ing 20.8 and has risen a foot during the
night. If the warm weather continues,
as present indications ' point, the river
bids: fair, to equal the high water mark
of 1882, and navigation of First and
Second streets in small boats is even a
possibility. .

The weather has been cloudy for some
days with a prospect of better weather

the Wasco Sun has ceased to exist.
Mrs. Mixer expects her brother from

The sheep shearers commenced shear

A heavy rain fell here Sunday night,

The horse men rounded up -their

The republican club is getting along'

Mr. Porter - and son have returned to

.When it comes to enterprise, the busi
ness men of - The Dalles are generally
entitled to' a front seat in the arena.
One night last week they held a meeting
and raised $700 with which to build a
new road over the Currant Creek hill.
The county court also appropriated $300,
which swells', the amount to $1,000.
This, in addition to what can be raised
in this end of the county, will be suffi
cient to make a first-class road up this
hill which we all know will be the great
est favor to the traveling public that
could possibly "be rendered. Mr.
Shearer, the famous road -builder, has
been given the contract, and he will no
doubt begin work on the same in a very
few days. After this . new road is
finished it will be made a county road
and will always be kept in good repair.
Freighters and -wool haulers from the
Canyon City, Dayville and Mitchell
countries will find this the shortest, the
best, and in tact the only practicable
route to market and to the railroad.
The gentlemen who are at the head of
this worthy move deserve great credit.
