Telephone No. 1. . THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1894 JULY JINGLINGS. 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. For Tront Lsks. The great fishing resort of the North west.

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. F. J.
