Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.
Firemen's election, August 6th. Don't
forget it.
The Regulator took down quite a large
' shipment of wool this morning.
Business in the land office is rather
slack owing to everybody being at work.
It is proper for our boys to get to the
front now and let the public know
whether we are to have a ball club or
not.
Quite a large party of Portlandites
came up on the Regulator to White
Salmon, last night and went out to
Trout lake.
The sheriff's deputies are busily en
gaged in preparing the delinquent tax
roll for publication. It will be printed
next week.
Yesterday the chain-gang was the
largest we ever saw in The Dalles, there
being at least a dozen men at work on
the streets.
The river is still 26.5 feet above low
water mark. This itself is a pretty fair
high water, but in the light of the 59.7
it looks like dead low water.
Fall grain is ripe, and the headers and
slf binders are putting it away in great
shape. The crop is now out of danger,
and will show up a phenomenally large
one.
The Mazamas, having successfully
scaled Alt. Hood, now propose to leave
their hoof-prints on the eternal snows of
Mt. Jefferson's neva. It is said to be a
hard mountain to climb, but all things
are possible to a Mazama.
W. F. Herrin, chief counsel for the
Southern Pacific railroad, and who is at
present managing the company's de
fense in the suits brought against it by
the U. S. government, is the brother of
D. C. Herrin of this city.
Quite a number of men discharged by
the Union Pacific are still unpaid, and
are very much dissatisfied thereat. "We
do not pretend to say where the blame
lies, but that the men should have their
money cannot be denied.
Judge Bradshaw writeB from the sea
aide that he is digging clams and having
a grand time, from which we infer he is
much happier than the proverbial clam,
even though that squirtnlent bivalve be
a high roller at high tide.
Malaria In any of Its Forms,
Chills and fever, congestive chills, can
be prevented or .cured by the use of
Simmons Liver Regulator, a purely veg
etable medicine, euperior to calomel and
quinine. j x
Hon. A. R. Byrkett of Hood River,
who has a fine ranch at White Salmon
and one of the finest herds of Jerseys in
the Northwest, has moved all his cattle
out to Trout lake on account of the grass
drying up near the Columbia.
Commencing Monday The Chboxicle
will be printed in the building one door
north of the express office. The ma
chinery and plant will be moved Satur
day afternoon, which will compel us to
get the paper out early on that day.
Our neighbors over in Washington
are getting ready for the fall campaign.
In Spokane the county central, commit
tee, republican, fixed the date for hold
ing the county convention for Septem
ber 17th, so that the race will be a short
one.
The sudden change in the weather
yesterday did not suit some people, and
we heard one man, who to our knowl
edge had been complaining of the heat
for a week, taking the country, the
climate and B. S. Pague to task because
it was too cold.
Orion Kinersly ia responsible for the
story that one of the victims of circum
stances which brought him before the
city recorder, explained the fact of his
being drnnk by saying that after he got
a dozen drinks he felt like another fel
low, and then the other fellow wanted a
drink. .
The city recorder is still doing a good
business, fifteen gentlemen of elegant
leisure being up -before him this morn
ing charged with being drunk and dis
orderly, and two of them having the ad
ditional charge of fighting to answer for.
The were fined impartially, and are ru
minating on the beauties of an overdose
of corn extract.

Peop'e's Society of Christian Endeavor ;
Its Origin, Design and Growth." All
who are .interested in the organization
of a 'Union Society of Christian En
deavor are requested to be present at
the evening service.
The city marshal has four men work
ing on the streets today. There are a
number doing time in the city jail, but
they object to working for the city.
The marshal has adopted a rule of no
work, no eat, and those who refuse to
work get three square meals, consisting
of bread and water. It is safe to sav
that none of them will want to get back
in order to get boarded.
Mr. Cohen, the proprietor of the
alleged stage line running to Govern
ment Camp from Portland, is the author
of the lie telegraphed over the state, to
the effect that the stage bad been robbed
and the driver killed. As a liar Cohen
can no longer be classed as an amateur.
He by a single leap reached the summit
as a professional. Should some stage
robber take a center shot at him we will
cheerfully - write him -n obituary that
will make him glad that he is dead.
When Baby was sick, we gave her Oastoria,
When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.

When sne had Children, she gavethem Castoria.'
Men Wanted.
Fifteen men wanted to cut cord wood.

Eastern Oregon Weather and Crops.
The temperature has remained high
throughout the week, the mean ranging
from 70 to 76 degrees, and the maxi
mum from 84 to 96 degrees. There was
no rainfall, except a local rain in Baker
and adjoining counties on the afternoon
of the 23d. At Baker City 0.44 of an
inch of rain fell.
Fall sown wheat is dead ripe through
the Columbia river valley; and the
headers are at work. Considerable
threshing has been done, and the grain
is plump and large. There have been
hot north and northest winds within the
past ten days that have been slightly
injurious to the spring sown wheat.
Practically all wheat is loo far advanced
to be materially injured by the hot
winds. Barley is ' a good crop and oats
promise well. The corn would be bene
fited by more rain, though it is at pres
ent growing very well. Late spring
frosts damaged the fruit, and now the
hot weather is causing the same to fall.
The farmers are all busy in their har
vesting operations. In the counties
south of theColumbia river valley the
crop is about ready to cut. Alfalfa will
be a very heavy crop. The grain has a
good growth and no fears are enter
tained of any damage being done by the
hot winds. The wool is being hauled
to the warehouses. Throughout East,
era Oregon the reports indicate that the
wheat crop will be the largest on record.
The hay crop has been good and cattle
are in fine condition. The wheat crop
of the state will equal or exceed any
former crop as; to quantity and quality.

Local Forecast Official, in charge.
Pursued by Misfortune.
Hood River people, or some of them
at least, have an apparently well
grounded superstition that a certain
ranch on the east side of the river has a
curse hanging over it. The place
formerly belonged to Claus Hoeck, who
died several yeara ago. Soon after his
death his son hanged himself to a tree
on the place, and since tbeittle ranch
has been neglected and deserted, each
of 'tbe families moving onto it meeting
with misfortune, until the place got a
bad name. Several years ago D. K.
Ordway purchased the place, and about
two years ago moved on to it. . Soon
after Mr. Ordway moved on the place, a
valuable team of young horses belonging
to him . ran away, one of them being
killed, and the other ruined. A few
months later, his house and nearly all
the contents bnrned. Then Mr. Ordway
got sick and after a month's confinement
in his bed, almost the first time he got
out of it, he fell, breaking his arm and
otherwise injuring himself, and coon
after died. Misfortune however was not
done with following the dwellers on the
farm for about a month ago the oldest
boy, aged about 15, was drowned, and
Tuesday yet another accident befell
them. Another son aged about 12 years
was riding horseback into Hood River,
and when a mile from home his horse
shied, throwing him heavily to tbe
ground. Fortunately Mr. Hans Lage
and his daughter Mrs. Mita Byrkett,
who we're on their way to town, saw the
accident and went to the boy's assistance.
He was unconscious, ho putting him in
their buggy they drove rapidly to M. V.
Rand's place where after an hour and a
half's work they ' were rewarded b3' the
lad's becoming again conscious. It is
likely the boy is not seriously injured,
but it was a very close call. And now
the wonder is, in what shape the next
roiefortnne will come.
Closed the Wrong Bank.
Editor Chronicle : I notice in your
issue of yesterday a statement that the
Arlington National bank had closed its
doors. This is a mistake as the Arling
ton National is in good shape, has not
closed, and will not. It was the First
National that went down.
G. V. Bolton.
We are pleased indeed to correct the
statement. We took particular ppins to
trace the report to what we considered
reliable authority, but our informant
being in error naturally we got in too.
This is the first bank we were ever able
to make a run on sufficient to close it,
and this was entirely unintentional.
