Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.
Mr. Metschan tells as tbe state portage
will be pat in condition to handle freight
in a few days, and that permanent re
pairs will be made at once.
Tbe regular passenger train came
through from Portland last night, mak
ing a transfer just below Hosier. This
' is tbe first train through from tbe west
since aboat the 25th of May.
There were three arrests last night,
all the parties having been too pugnac
ious. One was discharged, one fined
and one bad bis case continued until to
morrow. The trubles all occurred in
the East End.
The Regulator will make her regular
trip Sunday leaving Tbe DalleB at 7
o'clock. Tbe trip to tbe Cascades at
this time at the year is a delightful one,
and as it affords an opportunity to get
away from the heat, should betaken ad
vantage ot.
Mr. J. A.' Crossen's commission as
postmaster of this city, arrived this
morning. He will take charge of the
office next Monday morning, and for a
time at least will keep the office where
it is. Mr. Chittenden will be the dep
uty, which is an appointment that will
please everybody. "
We were warned about moving down
into this neighborhood but of couse paid
no attention to the matter, but since we
lost a $22.50 check this morning and
also missed one of our nearest neighbors
at tbe same time, it begins to look as
though our friends knew what they
were talking about. -. "
The springs at Collins landing will be
ready for business in about a week. . At
present tbe Columbia covers them. Mr.
T. P. Cram, who has been there for two
or three weeks, came up last night, and
will return tomorrow. He is much im
proved in health, and reports the colony
of campers there, well and happy.
No sooner did Weather Observer Pague
go off for a few days' holiday, and S. M.
Blandford get in charge, than the
weather got away from him and such a
hot spell as would fit in in tbe middle
states fell on us. The result is that
collection day for the once is hotter for
those doing the collecting than it usually
is for those doing the paying.
And still tbe wool comes in. More
than 200 sacks have been received this
' week, but since it has become possible
to get freight over the portage the ship
ments are exceeding the receipts. . There
is an ocean of it around the warehouses
but it will all soon get a move on. Buy
ers are numerous, and the prices paid
are, we believe, the highest of any in
Oregon.
The O. R. & H. has put the price of
hauling - freight over the Washing ton
portage up to $6 ger ton. It has done
this simply because it could, and to
cinch the D. P. & A. N. The latter
company took down a lot bf wool yester
day, but rather than pay,: the price
which is of course a prohibitory one,
the freight was hauled over the portage
in wagons.
Collections have been unusually good
today, indicating that money is getting
easier and much more plentiful. For
that matter The Dalles is today the best
situated financially of any city in the
state. Our 6,000,000 pounds of wool,
which bas gone into our warehouses,
has brought money here, and though
the price has been low, tbe enormous
amount has resulted in whole lots of big
dollars.
The. report comes today that an at
tempt was made last night to dig up
the bones of General Jackson. What
anyone could want with the bones ot.
the old hero is a ' question, unless, in
deed, it was some sore-hearted demo
crat who wanted to exhibit them to the
party's representatives in Washington, i
If the old chieftain were alive his pres
ence might do some good, but it would
take more than his honored bones
to stir democracy even to a feeling of
shame.
Individually we don't care ' how much
affection the handsome young ladies of
this charming little city show for one
another, but we draw the line at their
kissing each other while we are around.
Last night a party of these who had
been off camping, met a lot of the little
dream 8 in dimity that hadn't, and when
with little 'gurgles of joy their arms went
around each other, and lip met lip with
a sound like the exhaust of a bath tub,
we leaned over the taffrail and wished
we were a girl. . - , :
This, from the Pendleton Tribune,
Bounds like the West with the wool on :
"What's the matter with Pendleton?
A faro bank . was bursted by gamblers
last evening, and there is talk of locat
ing a distillery in this city. If those
two items don't speak volumes for lively
times, then the business thermometer
is out of plumb. There was" eo much
excitement around the faro game a per
son could scarcely get within 10 feet of
the table. The 'rubber-neckers' got the
full worth of their money." .
Fruit Shipments.
Mr. Willis Brown will have a carload
ot fruit ready for shipment East, to
morrow night. . The lot is made up by
seven or eight of our fruit-growers, who
pat in from 100 to 200 boxes. Mr. A.
H. Jewett . of White Salmon will also
furnish 100 or more boxes. The experi
ment will be closely watched, and its
success or failure should not. be meas
ured by the price but by the cost of
transportation and getting tbem into the
hands of the retail dealer, and also by
tbe relative price obtained ; that is to
say, if the cost of sale is at a minimum,
and the price obtained is tbe best in the
market, then no matter whether there
is a cent in the business or not, it is a
success as an experiment; but such a
success as' to demonstrate that we can
not ( ship fruits East, only under
peculiarly good markets. Otherwise if
the best prices tbe market affords are
not obtained, then the Oregon Fruit
Union and ita plans must be set down as
failures. V " . ..
A bout These Times.
A covered wagon passed through town
this morning, bearitig a series of legends
about hard - times, "$1.25 a bushel for
wheat," and several other signs in which
the owner .of the outfit registered his
opinion of politics and conditions. Out
of curiosity we examined the outfit, find
ing that the wagon contained some bed
ding, two locking chairs and a few other
house comforts, and we reached the con
clusion that a man who could leave the
harvest fields, to go berry picking and
take his parlor furniture along, would
find bard times if wheat was worth $5 a
bushel and wool $1 a pound. The times
are hard,' but they are here, and will not
be bettered either by repining or hunt
ing a job in a rocking chair.

Deafness Cannot be Cored
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of tbe mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, bearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which ia nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (.caused by catarih)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. - Send for circulars, free.
