.eaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters
John Fitzgerald, the genial janitor of
the courthouse, is painting the iron
fence aronnd the courthouse yard. He
is making it a deep glossy black, he says
to Bait the new officers.
The train arrived from the east this
morning in time for the passengers to
take the boat. In consequence the
Regulator had a large passenger list, as
yesterday's train was late.
The city marshal has had a dozen of
his best men at work on Second street
today, as we suggest elsewhere, and the
improvement is wonderful. - The city
ought to eet up the beer and get the
boys full again.
The Huntington Herald is of the
opinion that it does not add to the dig
nity of the federal court to employ
Chinese and Japs on the Union Pacific
road in Idaho, when white men could
be secured to take their places.
A beading crew in the Goodnoe mills,
Klickitat county, struck last Saturday
for an increase in wages. - They, had
been getting $1 a day and demanded'
$1.50. As there was no chance tore
place them, the farmers had to stand
the raise.
A meeting was held this morning for
the purpose ot taking steps to organize
a company, and starting a cannery, to
handle fish and fruits. Mr. Hugh Glenn
was made president of the meeting, and
on motion appointed a committee to re
port on location, etc., this evening.
Quite a lot of piling has been sent
down the flume, and is now lying beside
'the track at the Columbia hotel. It
will be loaded on the cars and used be
tween this place and Hood River as soon
as the Mill creek trestle is finished,
which will probably be tomorrow, if the
work is continued.
The city marshal yesterday provided
such of his prisoners as would work with
rakes and shovels and put them at work
removing the rocks and rubbish from
Third street. The work was well done,
nd the street is much improved. Sec
ond street is now getting in condition tb
be worked, and a small dose of the same
treatment .would be a great benefit to it.
We have received several notes inquir
ing concerning the railroad situation,
many farmers being anxious about the
grain shipments. To all those we would
say that the O. R. & N. is being repaired
as fast as men and money can do it, and
that it will be finished in time to move
the wheat crop to market. The mana
gers expect to have the road in running
order by the 10th of August, and while
they may be over sanguine, it is certain
that three weeks at the utmost will see
the trains again running.
This morning two wagons containing
eight people passed through town bound
for Hood River. The primary object is
to have a few days' rest and recreation
in the shade of the big oaks, and by the
cool mountain streams, and this will be
supplemented by harvesting a few bush
els of the delicious wild blackberries
that ripen on the foothills of that favored
locality.
Hon. D. P. Thompson, who passed
through The Dalles a day or two ago,
was returning from a visit to his wheat
patch in the Palouse country, and was
not looking after the seat in the senate
at present occupied by the Hon. J. V.
Dolpb. Mr. Thompson will harvest
something like 200,000 bushels of wheat,
this year, but then it is a pretty good
year for wheat. Besides it is pretty
generally admitted that Mr. Dolpb has a
grip on the senatorial arm chair that no
Oregonian can loosen.
Big; Wheat Crop.
The editor of the Wasco News, writing
up a trip through Sherman county says:
"We found Al Murchie cutting a crop
of - volunteer that will average at least
thirty bushels per acre. The truth is,
we have never seen such immense crops
all over the county. On driving out on
the hills, as far as the eye could reach
headers could be seen at their work ;
and that by the score. We noticed
most of them were running from three
to four wagons, and were not kept busy
then. The quality of the grain "that
is now being cut is of the very best. . It
is as plump as any. and ought to com
mand a price equal with valley wheat.
Spring wheat is only beginning to ripen,
and it is coming to the front wonder
fully. We noticed several fields. which
we believe will equal fall-sown or voir
unteer." '
"What's the matter that there is no
dinner ready?" asked the labor leader.
"The cook quit," replied his wite,
leaning back in her chair and fanning
gently.
Why didn't.you get it ready your
self? You know how well enough,"
"Me? I'm on
with the cook."

Market Review.
Friday, July 27th. The week past
has been one of marked activity in busi
ness circles, and everybody wears a
smile. Prices of merchandise continue
steady, with a lively movement.
In the produce market there is a
healthy condition : Eggs are firm and
scarce'; dealers are paying from 11 to 14
cents per dozen, and complain that they
can't get what they want; poultry is
slow sale, owing to the fact that offer
ings are in excess of demand. Vegeta
bles and green fruits are in abundance
and the market is weak.
'Thpre is more activity in the wool
market this week than there has been
anytime this season. Buyers are numer
ous and are purchasing direct from the
sheep owners every day. A better feel-f
ing prevails, and a disposition to sell is
prevalent among them. During the
week we 'heard of 9 cents as being
paid for two lots of nice wool, although
an advance ot this figure was refused, for
a choice lot of lamb's wool the other
day. It is reported that one lot of fine
staple was sold on private terms, yester
day, and knowing ones say 10 cents,
which we consider as a doubtful figure.
The present condition of the Wilson
tariff bill in congress bordering on defeat
has stimulated buyers and the market
generally. Today ten cents per pound
was paid for several lots of extra good.
The wheat market is in a state of ex
treme quietness. There is no improv
ment in foreign advices. The opinion
prevails that the United States will sur
prise itself in the large wheat crop that
is being harvested.
Grain bags have advanced to 7 cents
each,' and reports are given out that
therewill be a supply short of demand,
and quotations may reach 8 to 8 cents
a piece beiore the season is over.

It Brought Him a Prize of Money Which
Rained His Life.
Of a former member of the fire de
partment of Providence, B, I., who
died a short time since by his own
hand, it was said by the press and by
many of the people that "his fortune
was his misfortune."
Three years ago this man was a
sober and valued fireman, earning a
good living by a useful life. . Then he
drew a "prize" of eight thousand dol
lars' in a lottery. He left the fire de
partment, intending to "go into, busi
ness;" but with this unexpected arid un
earned money in his hands, he fell into
dissipation, and in three years had.
spent nearly all the money.
Then, while under the influence of
liquor, or when recovering from it, he
crept into a dark attic and cut his
throat.
The doctors said that the wound was
not of such a character that a strong
man need have died, from it; but this
man had so debilitated bis system by
excessive drmking that the loss of
much blood ended his life.
Such was the conclusion, therefore,
of one man's "good luck" in drawing a
lottery prize. There have been many
cases in the country in which similar
"luck" has been followed by personal
disaster almost if not quite as great.
A horse kicked H. S. Shafer, of the
Freemyre House, Middleburg, N. Y. on
the knee, which laid him up in bed and
caused the knee joint to become stiff.
A friend recommended him to- use
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which he
did, and in two days was able to be
around. Mr. Sbafer has lecommended
it to many a bruise or sprain. This
same remedy is also famous for its cures
of rheumatism. For sale by Blakeley &
