Telephone No. 1. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1894 JUNE JUNGL1NGS. Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle Reporters. The railroad track up by the depot is beginning to show up.'- W. E. Garret son can be found in Mr. Rowland's office, Masonic building. Mr. Hawthorne has gone out to take care of his eon, leaving this morning. By common consent Friday, the 15th, has been agreed upon as collection day. The D. P. & A, N. Co. are now ready to handle freight in limited quantities. About one' more day and the Umatilla house busses will retire from business. A large number of IT. P. passengers went down on the" Regulator this morning. Mr. Hony will has his floors scrubbed out and will soon be back in his old quarters. Postmaster Nolan has had his force busy for the past two days, distributing the vast amount of accumulated mail, i Third street is again visible and by the courthouse , is already dry. It is pretty rocky, but it beats travelling in a boat. Blakeley & Houghton will give their i., rooms a thorough overhauling, treating them liberally to paint and paper before moving in. ... The electric light plant: is rapidly emerging from its unappreciated bath and will soon be throwing a little light on the situation. The following deed was filed for record yesterday: Geo. C. Jones to W. L . Conkey,160 acres in section 17, town ship 1 north of range east. . It is said that the Union Pacific has 200 men at work building the railroad " t"5 wiuiDg mountain between Bonneville and Cascade Locks. Deputy U. S. Marshal Bentiy came down on the steamer Almota Monday, - and into The ' Dalles Tuesday, bringing with him a couple of prisoners. . - Sheriff Ward has a sturgeon two feet long corraled in the jail yard. How it got there is a mystery, the only apparent . solution being that it came up the sewer. While we were in-the . county clerk's office this afternoon Mr. Crossen and Mr. Kelsay came in. Realizing that a y more august assembly would never be present , than that our presence com pleted, Mr. Crossen administered the oath of office to his successor.. As soon as the water'gets down enough to admit of it, Messrs. Seufert, Winans and others will put Indians at work dipping tbe royal chinook with hand nets.. The lawns that have been covered by the flood look decidedly rusty. A few days' sunshine will bring back their color, and the sediment should prove a splendid fertilizer. ' Lew Morse and C. A. Bell are running a thousand or more telephone poles down Hood river. Captam Dukes and others have just finished bringing down 100,000 cedar fence posts. It makes no difference to Harry Ma llear who is elected governor of the state or justice of 8-Mile precinct. .It's a nine-pound boy thin time, and it ain't a populist either. 'All are doing well. A train loaded with wheat for Port land was left on the track near the Wasco warehouse. Daring the flood tbe water got into the cars to the depth of about two feet, and the result is a vast amount of good chicken feed. The river fell at Riparia in twenty four hours, ending at 8 o'clock this morning, one foot, and at Umatilla ten inches. The weather is slightly warmer in the npper country. The weather bureau expresses the opinion that the river will continue to fall for four or five days at the least. Reports from all over Eastern Oregon and Washington state that the wheat fields are in better condition than ever known', and the indications are that the crop will be a phenomenal one. If the price will get up above zero the country will get even for last year's lack of re tarns in coin. In pumping out the cellar of the Col umbia Packing house this morning a fish Bix inches long got into the pnmp and choked the valves. As the cellar is cemented, the -sucker must have come up the sewer. This ought to settle the question as to whether fish will follow an underground channel. ' We are told that the berry-growers of Hood River have about given up the at tempt to get their products to market, and that recently 100 crates were given away. We think they could find a market here for some of them at prices that would at least pay something over the boxes and picking. The new fire hydrants are all self bleeders. In use they should be opened full, as when only partly open the water from the bleeder soon washes away the dirt, leaving the hydrant unsupported and in that condition - a few twists loosens them and they blow off. There are two in the city now in that condi tion. ,; . j . ; . . ; ; C. Thompson was brought up from Hood River last night by Constable Olinger to serve out a sentence of ninety days. He was' charged -with stealing "one pair of men's pants and one pair of men's shoes." TH property was stolen from the Oregon Lumbering company, and as the defendant admitted his guilt, he is presumably satisfied with the result. ".'. Monday we elect a new, or re-elect the old corps of city officers. Put on your thinking capj and see that you elect good and efficient men. The city is in pretty bad shape owing to the flood, and a good, careful council and mayor should be selected, men who will guard the city'B interests and more particularly just now look after the sanitary condl tion. It is perhaps well, aa long as the water went over the streets, that it went in volume enough to carry away most of the filth, but yet there will be plenty. The Mazamaa, who will be on the summit of Mt. Hood July 19th, purpose illuminating the mountain that night. This is simply a word of caution to our readers, so that on that date when they see the red lights leaping from the sum mit, they - won't think the old valcano has sprung a leak, or that Pennoyer has broken loose ,again, or any other dire disaster happened. This is moving day again with us. It is pretty hard to move arid attend to business without neglecting one or tbe other and moving will not admit of any negligence. The only way to move is just to move, and everything else must be subservient to it. The Chbonicle will be printed on our big press again but jit will take several days to get every thing in working order. In the mean while, however, do not forget that we are ready to take any advertisements or do any job printing offered. Just drop in and see us at the old stand. The Lady or the Bear. , One day last week a lady living near White. Salmon after picking strawber ries all day at Carsten's place, started for borne,, carrying with her a small bucket of strawberries.. She was wear ing a big sunbonnet, so could not well see what was going oh around her. Suddenly she was startled by receiving a . severe blow on the shoulder that knocked her down. , Struggling to her feet, she discovered that her assailant was a big black bear. Bruin was a so ciable fellow, and after knocking , the woman over, he sat down and proceeded with the utmost deliberation to eat the berries. The lady did not stop to dis cuss the question, but made him a pres ent of both bucket and berries and fled for the nearest neighbor's. The men hnrried back with their guns, but all they captured was the bucket. Election Motes. Wallowa countv went populist by a vote of almost two to one. ' Baker county also went -populist. Lockett, democrat, is elected to the legislature and Coos and Curry elect jointly a popu list legislator. In Sherman county the populists ran ahead of the democrats. The total vote of thetstate will be about 86,000, which ia about evenly divided between the democrats and populists on one side and the republicans on' the other.' When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria. . When she was a Child, she cried for Caatoria. When she became Hiss, she dung to Castorim. When she had Children, she rave them Caatoria. Present Them. It having been publicly circulated that I am owing various bills in The Dalles, and no such bills having ever been presented, I ask that they be pre sented at once. Joseph Frazibb, Hood River, Or., Notice. Will the merchants holding bills against the D. P. & A. N. Co. for the month of May kindly drop them in the postoffice. W. C. Airway, Agt. The Dalles, June 9, 1894. Mischief of Any Bimetallic Movement. The exaggerations of tbe free-silver orator become more mischievous when they have the approval of the Boston international bimetallists. They inten sify the superstition in respect to silver which abides in the interior, and which it is a public duty to try to overcome." Will England consent to bimetallism, if. it will make her food supply cost her more? , The canse of the western farmer who wants more for his wheat will not become the cause of his chief customer who wants to get r wheat cheap. Such argument does not appeal to John Bull. We should leave his conversion to his own people. All we have to do with England is to get as much of her gold as we can, and our surest way to do that is to re-establish the confidence of the Eng lish investor in our financial integrity. We can do this by adapting ourselves to the world's present way of doing busi ness, just as though we expected no other. When England wants us to con fer about bimetallism,, she knows the address of our ambassador. Tbe pros pect that she ever will consent to any unlimited coinage of . silver, either at home or in India, at less than the mar ket ratio, is none too cheering. We may wish her bimetallic party God speed, and commend it . to the saying that time, patience and sweet oil will carry a snail to Jerusalem. Hon. Jos. C. Hendrix, in the June Forum. " just Received That Old Story. In marked contrast to the wild stories about the Umatilla house and opera house floating away is the following from the Oregonian of the 8th, a part of the statement made by Rev. G. M. Irwin concerning the situation, and which we print by request: "I closed my campaign in Sherman county Saturday evening, and since that time have traversed the country between here and there by carriage, water and afoot. The damage done by the flood at The Dalles has been greatly exaggerated, and the same thing may be said of all other points except Grant's station, which is really in imminent danger of being completely swept away. In fact, The Dalles has suffered but little more comparatively, than'Portland. Rumored damage of the Umatilla house is not founded on fact. It is true that there ia water in, the building, but not enough to cause the upper portion to be abandoned. There is a little current rnnning through the town, but no ' buildings except a couple of old shacks have been washed away." . " :- ' " Watch Lost. One silver hunting case watch. The inside plate is engraved "Presented by Troop E, 2nd V. S. Cavalry, Louis Burkhard." A liberal reward will be paid for its return to the Skibbe hotel.
