AUGUST AUGURINGS-
lei From the Notebook rif Cbroniele
Reporters.
Allie Henderson is. patting up a bar
ness shop next door to Thompson's
blacksmith shop.
The Regulator will make a trip to the
Cascade Locks tomorrow, leaving the
wharf here at 6 o'clock. '
.A freight train passing np yesterday
had several carloads of harvesting ma
chinery for Eastern Oregon.
A good boy, who is not afraid of work,
and who has a fair amount of echooling,
can obtain employment at this office.
Prairie chickens have been legally
ripe for fonr days, but the weather baa
been too hot to think about shooting
them.
Some people are easily satisfied. A
Spokane wheat grower -says if he can
get thirty cents a bushel for his wheat
he will have money to loan.
Now that the state portage is open,
there will be heavy wool shipments, and
the Regulator will be kept busy for a
few weeks getting it to Portland.
At the sheriff's office quiet prevails.
Deputy Kelley is busy sending out
notices to delinquent taxpayers and pre
paring the delinquent list for paDlica-tion.
Deputy U. 8. Marshal Murphy went
below this morning, taking the man ar
rested a few days ago by the city mar
shal, to Portland for trial on the charge
of Belling liquor to Indians.
There will be a campmeeting at
Hosier, on grounds about half a mile
from the depot, beginning Aug. 6th and
closing about the 20th. The grounds
are fine and water good and abundant.
A tabernacle has been provided for ser
vices. The meeting will be conducted
by C. M. Bryan, an evangelist from
Portland.
. The Regulator took dutn a very large
load of wool this morning. Part of it
should have gone down yesterday, but
on account of the O. R. & N. charging
more for hauling it two miles over the
portage than the entire freight comes to,
it was held until today. The transfer
will be made on the Oregon side over
the state portage.
Four victims of mipplaced confidence
in their ability to down John Barley
corn, were arrested yesterday by the
city marshal and given a chance, this
morning to explain the cause of their
lapses from the paths of sobriety. One
bad the charge of being disorderly and
starting a row to answer for, but the
other three could only set up vicarious
sunstroke from being exposed to the
rays of the electric lights. They were
fined in the usual amounts.
There must be a small sized city at
Trout lake, judging from the number ot
people who have gone out theie this
summer. Today Hood River sends out
a party consisting of Dr. Brosius and
family, Prof. C. L. Gilbert and family,
C. M. Wolford and family and L. E.
Morse and family about twenty persons
in all. They expect to remain for two
or three weeks.
liana-nay Accident.
A runaway happened last Saturday
which seriously damaged Mr. Thomas
Pollock, who 'lives three miles from
town, near the road leading to Tucker's
mill. Mr. Pollock was coming to town
in an old rickety dog cart. When on'
top of the hill south of Dr. Adams' drug
8 tore the horse took fright at something
and ran furiously down the hill, up
setting the vehicle' and kicking till the
cart was. badly demoralized.. Mr. Pol
lock was violently thrown to the ground,
striking on his left shoulder. He re
mained unconscious till W. P. Watson
and others who witnessed the accident
picked him up and carried him into Dr.
Adams' drug store. The doctor, who
was absent at the time, teturned at that
moment, and upon stripping and care
fully examining him, found no bones
broken, but the ligament which binds
the collar bone to the shoulder blade
was torn loose' and grating could be felt
on moving the clavicle. The doctor gave
him the necessary treatment and sent
him home, W. P. Watson kindly volun
teering to go for a buggy and take the
old man home. As Mr. Pollock ia 78
years old and quite feeble, the doctor
says it will be a long time before the
injury heals. Glacier.

A small number of Christian ladies of
The Dalles were appealed to some three
months ago by Mrs. P. H. McG iffey, to
send her to the Keeley Institute for
treatment of the morphine habit, to
which she had been addicted for a
number of years. The appeal was
answered" by this small handful of
Christian workers by sending Mrs. Mc
Guffey to Forest Grove and under date
of July 18th, they received in substance
the following letter from her :
' ''You can never know how glad I was
to receive your nice, kind letter, or how
much good it did me. I was feeling very
much disheartened, so much so that I
have felt sometimes that I have' more
than my ehare of trouble and sorrow,
and that death alone can solve my life's
problem, but I doubt not it is all for
some good purpose. My faith is stronger
in both God and humanity than ever
before. You ladies don't realize the
good work you have done. My life was
almost intolerable. I don't think I
could have borne it much longer. You
have saved a soul from eternal death,
and made my life at least bearable, be
it long or short. . I wish I had language
to express my thanks for your kindness,
but I have not. Such deeds cannot be
rewarded in this world. I can only
commend you to the Giver bf all good,
with whispered petitions that he reward
you as becomes the benefactor of man
kind. I have been off the momhine
about ten days now. I am weak and
nervous, but glad, Oh, so glad I can
stand it all. God has been my strength
and I am getting better all the while.
Hope soon to be able to do something
for myself. I can never say too much
in favor of the Keeley cure "or of Dr.
Taylor, who has ben untiring in his
efforts in my behalf. Oh, how I long to
see my little ones.
Jennie W. McGuffey.
In this connection the ladies request
us to say that their means are exhausted,
and in order to complete the good work
they have begun they must have more
money. To raise it they will have an
outdoor ice cream festival on the school
grounds at the brick school bouse, com
mencing at 6:30 Tuesday evening next.
The proceeds will be devoted entirely to
the further caring for the lady above
named, and the patronage should be
generous.
Losses on Strawberries.
Glacier. .
Returns are in from the strawberry
shipments from Hood River, and the
losses sustained by our fruit growers can
now be computed. The 1500 crates
shipped East to Denver and Omaha just
paid the freight. The crates alone cost
$300 besides the cost of packing and
picking (2 cents a pound), and other
work. A very small part of the crop
was picked and shipped, some growers
wisely choosing to let their berries rot
on the vines rather than take the
chances of shipment under the existing
circumstances. A mistake was made in
not shipping more of our berries to the
Montana markets by way of Portland.
The Portland commission nouses were
not long in finding out the markets
there, and our berries were shipped by
them, but our fruit growers did not reap
the benefit.
Mr. A. B. JoneB shipped one crate,
his first, to Helena, on the 26th of May,
the day before therailrond closed, which
netted for him $7. After the fall in
prices- in Portland, he . made another
shipment to Helena on the date the
berries were shipped to Denver that did
not pay the freight. This was his last
shipment and they netted him $3.50 a
crate. Mr. Jones' crop was estimated
at 600 crates. He bad contracted with j
parties in Wyoming for 200 crates at
$3.60 a crate delivered on the cars here.
He had received the same prices from
these same parties for the two years
previous. The season of '94 was a dis
astrous one for the strawberry men of
Hood River, but undismayed, they are
preparing to plant more acres of the
same fruit, . knowing they will make
good their losses in the future.
PERSONAL MENTION.
