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

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,

Notice.
Will the merchants holding bills
against the D. P. & A. N. Co. for 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. "

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." . " :- ' "
