(Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.
The petit , jury has been excused un
til Thursday.
Tomorrow being Decoration Day no
paper will be issued.
' The Wasco warehouse received 160
sacks of wool yesterday.
Don't forget that the Regulator will
run every day. The water can't get too
: high for the D. P. & A. N. Co.
Patrons living in the flooded district
can have their papers . delivered at their
temporary residences by making them
. known.
The river raised here from 9 o'clock
last night until 5 this morning eight
tenths of a foot, and stood at 50.7 at 8
o'clock.. - -
Has anyone lost them? A small
white mare, branded A on left shoulder,
and brown mare, weight about 1,000,
branded 21 on left hip.
Ana. winans reports the loss of an
other fish wheel yesterday. This makes
four gone out, but if he can save the
other three he will be able to recoup his
losses before fall. - '
The ladies who were to serve straw
berry shortcake at the M. E. church to
inorrow night deem it advisable to post-
- pone it until Borne further date, of which
due notice will be given.
k Three men came over the Barlow road
from Lebanon, arriving in Wamic last
Saturday. They report the snow as
covering the road for about 14 miles, and
' its greatest depth about 12 feet.
Twenty men went up yesterdayafter
noon to Taffe's fishery to assist in pro
tectmg the icehouse, and' fish stored
therein as well as to help in preventing
. the destruction of other property.
The Umatilla house 'bus has been
brought into use in conveying passengers
to and from the Regulator, which is now
making its landings near the Wasco
warehouse.' It looks like old times.
The water commenced coming into
Union street at the Columbia hotel yes
terday evening at 6 o'clock. At that
hour the shops and all that section were
in the water to a depth of 18 inches.
-' There is a passenger train at the mess
house, also Superintendent Borie's spe
cial. A telephone message was sent
down for an engine -and all the cabooses
and passenger coaches available. The
passengers will have to walk nearly
a mile to make the portage, and may be
in at any time. Later As we go to
press the train has jast arrived.
Frank. Williams, arrested a few weeks
ago for burglarizing Blowers & Co.'s
store at Hood River, was indicted today,
waived time, plead guilty and was sen
tenced to two years in the penitentiary.
'The water has reached a point con
siderably higher than the electric light
works, and is only kept out by the ce
ment walls. It cannot stand a great
deal more, and the lights may be shut
off at any moment.
- There have been various rumors that
the Regulator will be taken, off her
route. There is nothing in it. She will
run every day, and if the water gets
high enough she may run down the rail
road track, but she will never quit.
The contest case of . Robert Childs
against William Floyd has been before
the land office here for three or four
days, but on account of the district
court being in session, it has been ad
journed over until Jane 25th. This case
will determine some very intricate ques
tions that have never yet been up for
adjudication under the act of Sept. 29th,
1890.
The body of Hayes was buried where
found. The coroner's jury it seems were
satisfied from the examination made by
doctors, that the wound in the groin was
several days old, and that instead of
ranging upward it went nearly straight
through. . The wound on the back of the
head was much more recent than the
other, and as Hayes had been begging
the boys to kill him it is probable he
took his own life. a
Unless the unforseen happens and the
Columbia goes back to her bed, the
berry growers of: Hood River will suffer
severe loss. The frost took the earlier
berries in places, but with anything like
the usual prices she would have shipped
berries of the probable value of $60,000.
It may be possible that arrangements
will be made for handling them by the
Regulator which could be done easily if
the U. P. will put on a boat from Celilo
to Umatilla, but unless this is done, or
the river goes down,- there is going to be
almost a total loss of the crop. " '
Caught by Hand- .
And Yet More Water.
We are cut off from telegraphic com
munication on all sides, so no reports of
the stage of the water at points above
can be given. The following from the
Oregonian of yesterday gives the only
pointer concerning thet water, with the
exception of a dispatch from Ellens-
burg to the effect that while the Yakima
is 'still high all the Bmall streams were
falling rapidly. There was a report last
night that the Snake was at a standstill
at Riparia and the Spokane falling, but
we can find no foundation for the rumor.
"The Willamette continued to rise
slowly last nigbt. At a late hour Ob
server Blandford said that the river
might not reach 27 feet, owing .to the
cool weather prevailing. Reports from
Eastern Oregon and Washington showed
a fall of a degrees in the temperature,
and indications point to a continuance
of such weather." -
In this statement. Mr. Blandford was
allowing for a two-foot rise, equal to four
feet here, and allowing for lapse of time
should make the rise here about 18 in
ches more. However it is nothing bat
guess work now, since all knowledge of
what the river is doing above us is gone.
Since writing the above, we have it
authentically, that at Spokane the river
was at a stand. : v
THIS IS DEFINITE. .
A telephone dispatch from Arlington,
forwarding dispatch from Umatilla to
the Chronicle, says the river rose 13
inches in the 24 hoars' ending at 3 o'clock
this afternoon.
invasion. . Carpets were up, their big
tock ot ice moved, a false floor was i ut
in the dining room and everything put

wagon available is pressed into service

Stand Together.
It is to be hoped now that the Union
Pacific will put aside its petty jealousy
of the D. P. & A. N. Co., and will make
some arrangements - for keeping the
route to Portland - open-.- From present
indications it will be several weeks be
fore the road bed is in condition for use.
In the meantime if the company would
get down off its high horse and attend to
business, it will regain the respect of
the people, will do a good stroke of busi
ness for itself, and besides do good ser
vice to its patrons. The D. P. & A. N.
Co. stand ready to carry all passengers
and fast freight offered, and to do it on
reasonable terms. The company should
open up ltd Washington . portage and
help to keep up traffic.
This is no time for back talk, for jeal
ousies or rivalry, rne people are de
pendent on the" Regulator for communi
cation with the outside world. The
Union Pacific is, in position to facilitate
that communication and to aid the peo
ple. We hope that this spirit will gov
ern it. and that it will do an it can to
prevent loss to our people. Will it do

The Locks in Duter.
JUr. al. .Kennedy about 10 years ago
started a. small carp pond and now has
several of them at Wamic. . Last Satur
day he invited a lot of the boys and some
visitors from the valley to have a fish
They drew the water partly off the pond
and evero body- "waded in." It was
genuine fun, and several fine fish were
caught, the largest weighing four pounds
Besides the fish the boys caught a good
ducking and slathers of mud.
Memorial Services.
Through inadvertance mention was
not . made in our . columns yesterday ' of
the memorial services held in the
Methodist church Sunday night. The
services were well attended, the church
being filled to its utmost capacity.
Members of the G. A. R., W. R. C; and
O. N. G. were present. : The discourse
by Rev. J. Whisler is pronounced by all
who heard him to be the finest address
they had ever heard on the occasion.

Dated Dalles City, May 15, 1894.
Mr. George P. Morgan came up from
the Cascades on the Regulator last night,.
for the purpose of getting up 500 or 600
sacks. The sacks were wanted so that
being filled with sand, they could .be
used to stop, any break that might occur
in the dam being constructed around the
head of the lock. The water when he
left was within four feet of the top of the
break water, on which a force of men
were -at work, ..adding four feet to its
height. A, dam was also being built
from the railroad around by the engin
eer's quarters to the, break water, and
on around the head of the locks. Should
a break occur,' the Jentire works would
be destroyed unless the immense granite
heads for the gates should hold. Owing
to the fact that the Union Pacific had
purchased all available sacks, Mr. Mor
gan experienced considerable difficulty
but finally found 400 which he purchased
of Mr. Peters.',' He went down with
them this morning and it is sincerely
hoped that the - works at the Jocks may
be saved. It would be nothing less than
a calamity for Eastern Oregon, should
the looks go out.
A HoTing Tale.
' At an early hour ; this morning the
Water invaded First and Union streets
came through the block back of the
Columbia hotel, and began pouring in
a stream across Court at the old Sun
office. It is a busy" section from the
Umatilla house back on Union to above
Second, and along' Second to the middle
of the block east of Court', and along
First street.. Everywhere trestles, are
being made, ant goods placed above the
danger line, for everyone feels assured
that in the section named the water will
get in the buildings from a few inches
toa foot or two. At 8 o'clock the water
was about a foot below the Umatilla
house floor, and Messrs. Sinnott & Fish
began patting things in readiness for an
S.E.Ferris arrived from Oak Grove
last night, having in charge William
Wilkersen, arrested on the charge of
horse stealing.- He is the man supposed
to have stolen. the black pony from Bert
Bagley. Ferris arrested him at Barlow
gate, -and says the only kick he has com
ing is that the fellow couldn't keep the
road, but kept wandering around so
that he had to ride forty miles out of the
way. At Swift's place, while Ferris was
talking to Mr. Swift concerning the
thief, Jack ' Swift, a youngster, of 12
yeare, overheard them, and though it
was midnight, rolled out of bed and vol
unteered to go along and show Ferris
the road. , This - he did, being of very
material assistance,' and when Ferris
ran across wimersen and told mm to
hold up his hands, Jack went through
his pockets like a professional. . Wilker
sen had the horse and saddle when
caught, and will visit Salem.

MRS. M. LeB ALiliISTER, The Dalles.
As the years roll by, the manner in
which Decoration Day is observed is
rapidly changing. Instead of the former
religious observance of the day, it is
rapidly taking on the character- of a
Fourth of July celebration. The G. A.
R. have inaugurated a fight against this,
and- will endeavor to have the day ob
served as it rvas originally intended.- It
is not a. day-for hilarity picnics or
politics, and it is to be regretted that it
is being used for such purposes. Let
The Dalles tomorrow set a good-Mcample
by a quiet and solemu observance of the
day set apart to pay tribute to the dead.
