AUGUST AUGURINGS-
Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
. . Reporters.
Boat wanted, for ten days. Inquire
at this office.
Yesterday would have been a splen
did day to take a buggy ride inside of
the street sprinkler.
The west-bound passenger came in
this morning shortly after 7 o'clock bat
with rather a small number of passen
gers. There was a slight sprinkle of rain
about daylight this morning, not enough
to dampen the ground but just enough
to make pretty little freckles in the dust.
It was sinfully hot yesterday ; so sul
try and close that even the dogs left the
streets and crowded into some secluded
spot, where they could pass the day
without their pants.
. Yesterday afternoon the city marshal
gathered in three individuals suffering
.apparently from sunstroke as they were
lying in the alleys and utterly uncon
scious. They all recovered after a night
in tbe jug. .
We are told the thermometer at
Grants yesterday registered 106 in the
shade, and men woiking on tbe section
tell ns that in the sand cuts about Celilo
it was like an oven and .they had to
quit work there.
Although it was quite sultry this
morning the hot wave has probably
swept by. Clouds have come up from
the west, and the breeze has also shifted
around, and what there is of it is coming
from that direction.
Tbe steamer Columbia plying on the
upper Columbia river between Bevel
stoke, B. C. and Northport Wash.,
caught fire at 1 :30 Wednesday night
and was entirely nestroyed. She was a
fine boat costing about $75,000.
From present indications the connty
indebtedness will be reduced in round
numbers $15,000 this year. The delin
quent tax list is quite large, and if this
Is collected closely the reduction will be
fully up to the amount named. The
county judge and commissioners deserve
commendation for their good work.
Yesterday five men who had been
working for the O. R. & N. were dis
charged at Arlington, and undertook to
come to The Dalles to get their time
checks cashed. They made a raft and
started down the river, but on the way
one of them fell off and was drowned.
The state portage road is being put in
condition for handling freight, and al
though a portion of the lower incline is
gone the transfer will be made over -it
tomorrow. The O. It.' & N. did not act
handsomely towards the D. P. & A. N.
Co. concerning the use of the Washing
ton portage, but tbe inconvenience the
latter were put to did not last long.
A man named T. S. Moore was killed
near Hood River yesterday afternoon
about 2 :30 o'clock. He was working on
the pile driver and was under a bridge
putting on some braces, when the "nig
ger head" fell from the pile driver,
striking him on the .head and crushing
his skull. Deceased ' lived in - the Mt.
Hood settlement at the head of Hood
river valley. He leaves a wife and two
children. ,
The connty clerk's office for the month
of July shows receipts from civil busi
ness of $164.40. This amount was col
lected and turned over to the treasurer,
and will go a long ways towards paying
tbe salaries of tbe office. There is no
doubt but that the new law will save
the county, in ' the clerk's and sheriff's
offices, in the neighborhood of $5000 a
year. ' ""
Judge. Blakeley has made arrange
ments for having a cement floor laid in
the vault where the records are kept
and also in the jail corridor. He has
also been considering the advisability of
having the jail ceiling covered with a
net work of steel rods. As there is
nothing but the plaster and tin roof be
tween the prisoners and liberty. This
is almost a necessity.
Centerville Burned. 7
A fire broke out in Harvey's black
smith shoo at Centerville. Wash., about
3 :30 this morning and burned all that
portion of the town south of the road
before it quit. Among the buildings
burned were the two hotels, a warehouse
belonging to Crofton Bros, and about a
dozen residences, fourteen or fifteen
buildings in all. The fire occurring in
the night, . the inhabitants had no
knowledge of it until it had gotten such,
a start that nothing: could be done. Thn
residents got out, many of them' with
nothing but their night clothes, and
buildings and contents were a total loss.
There is no doubt some insurance bnt
neither that nor the value of property
destroyed can be learned today.
. Fir at Will to Salmon.
Mr. J. R. Warner of White Salmon
met with a serious loss Monday evening
by fire, his barn, with forty tons of hay,
two horses, harness and a wagon and
two calves being bnrned. Besides this
there was quite a quantity of freight be
longing to people in Camas Prairie
stored in the barn, and this was also
destroyed. We have not been abla to
learn the cause of the fire. The total
loss, exclusive of the freight mentioned,
is about $2,000, on which there is some
insurance.

Market Review.
Friday, August 4th. There have been
no changes in the .merchandise market
the past week, but business has been
good and large quantities of supplies
have been sold and forwarded to interior
points. - ' ; . - ,
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 tbe fact that offerings
are 'in excess of demand. Vegetables
and green fruits are in abundance and
the market is weak.
There is some movement in wool, but
few sales, as both buyer and dealer
realize ' the ' action ' of congress will
materially affect the price, the wool
market has degenerated into a guessing
contest. , Last week as the senate and
house seemed drifting apart the ' price
advanced sharply, touching 10 cents per
pound. . As the chances of some kind of
an agreement become better the . price
has gone down until the price may be
put at 8Z cents, though yesterday one
lot brought 92. cents.
- The wheat market is quiet, prices for
the new crop not yet being established,
the opening of the O. R. & N. for freight
traffic removes one element of annoy
ance, and lightens the heart of the wheat
grower. The prospects for an extra
large crop in the United States are not
so good. Southern California reports a
total failure, while the recent hot wave
in the middle states will have some
effect though the wheat harvest was
nearly over. .
A Month In a Sail Boat.
A sail boat was noticed at one of Sa
lem's wharfs today that at once attract
ed the attention of the reporter. Tbe
"stranger" is a craft with 6-foot beam
and 20-foot keel, neatly fitted out, with
all the necessities for camping attached.
Our inquiring led us to learn that the
masters of the ship were Edward G.
Patterson and a Mr. Fisher of The Dalles.
Patterson is the son of J. M. Patterson,
cashier of the First National bank of
The Dalles, and ( a grandson of G. G.
Gray of this city. These young men
left Tbe Dalles two weeks ago last Mon
day and they expect to be gone on the
trip a month. They have sailed all the
way, excepting from the mouth of the
Yamhill, they took a steamboat for
Salem, as the wind died out on them.
Next Friday they will leave Salem for
Astoria and then return to their home.
Their mode of rusticating is an odd one,
but interesting. The scenery along the
Columbia river is grand, beyond de
scription, and they are loud in their
praise of the grandeur - of the rivers of
Oregon. Salem independent.
