WEDNESDAY, - AUGUST 22, 1894 AUGUST AUGURINGS- Leaien From the Notebook of Chronicle Reporters. This is another of those days when a buggy ride inside of the street sprinkler would be enjoyable. j The local passenger arrived in on time today, the first time since the flood that is the flood in the Columbia. Quite a party will leave here tomorrow for Hood River, and from there will go to Cloud Cap, and possibly to the top of the mountain. A email lot of wool was sold this morn ing at 10 cents. This is the highest price paid this season, and has only been paid once before. The Dalles is shipping from one to two carloads of melons daily. Many of them go to Portland but the bulk of the trade is with points East. Trout lake has suddenly come into prominence, as the most pleasant and available spot for a summer outing that can be reached from The Dalles. On and after September 1st, 1894, the office hours, of the Pacific Express Co. will be from 8 to 12 and from 1 to 6 o'clock. The office will not be opened Sunday. sepl Rita, the five-year-old daughter of County Auditor Simeon Bolton of Klick itat county, Wash., fell in a well yester day and was drowned. Mr. Bolton is a brother of Mr. Virgil Bolton of this city A. G. Phelps, our promising young townsman, who graduated from the law department of Michigan University last spring, has been appointed by District Attorney Jayne as his deputy for Wasco county. The grass and stubble everywhere is dry as tinder and hunters and camping parties should use every precaution to prevent fires getting started. The dry grass makes excellent fall pasture and is worth whole lots of money. That dreadful man . Blandford says that if be was at the seaside, he would smoke his cigar without troubling him self about Falb's tidal wave. We don't wonder at it. If he keeps on putting up this kind of weather, the tidal wave will be hankered after. Several wagon loads of wheat were . brought in from Klickitat county today It sold for thirty cents a bushel. In talking with the gentleman who brongl t it in he told us the grain was not turn ing out so well as was anticipated. The same reports come from the Dufur neighborhood, and the newsnaoer re- PEASE ports from the Willamette valley are to the same effect, though in the latter locality the falling off is attributed to the aphis. The grain in this neighbor hood is remarkably plump, and will rank as first-class. , Those who have bills to present to the county court, which meets Wednesday, September 5th, will remember to hand them to the clerk by the evening of the 4th, so that they can be put on the docket. If they are not so presented they will go over for the term.- In other words, will be put off for two months.' Do not forget this, and then kick at the court and clerks, for the rule will be en forced. To Our Visitors. Wb regret exceedingly that such ex tremely hot weather has greeted our reverend visitors, and assure them that if it was possible for the mayor, com mon council or citizens to vary the tem perature for the cooler it would be done. Had the visit been put off till say Dec ember this state of affairs would not have existed. As it is we are one and all glad to see them, and unanimous in the hope that they will have better weather for their .' work and carry away with them as favorable an impression of The Dalles, as they have already created in'it. There is no one to blame but Weather Observer Blanford, but unfortunately we can't .discharge him. To Whom It May Concern. Notice is hereby given that a petition to incorporate the town of Hood River will be presented to the Hon. Commis sioners' court at its September term, 1894, said incorporation to be bounded as follows: All that tract of land in sections 25 and 26, 35 and 36, tp. 3, n. r. 10 e., w. m., bounded north by O.

R. & N. dated Feb. 12, 1864. In those days freight was charged for by measurement instead of weight. The articles are suggestive of the trade in ' those days, consisting of four kegs of brandy, four boxes of eggs, two gunny bags of bacon, six barrels of whiskey, and a pipe of liquors. The whole lot measured 119 feet, and cost from . San Francisco $64.50, the charge from Portland being $36, or about $18 per ton, as against $8 at the present date. The bill is in a remarkably good state of preservation, in spite of the thirty years that have passed since the colonel paid it. The ink was good, for it is as fresh looking as if made yester day. - The freight came up on the steamer Wilson G. Hunt. We have again on hand an abundance of strictly dry FIR WOOD, -which we -will sell at the lowest rates. MA1ER & BENTON. PERSONAL MENTION. Mr. Alex. Scott of Grass Valley is in the city. Mr. Ed. M.
