HEED!
Our story is short. We have some Men's Shoes, the regular
retail values of which are .$4.00, $5.00, $6.00. The Shoes are
first-class, serviceable, good lasts, made by good shoemakers,
such as Burt & Packard and others of like reputation; but
they are. button instead of lace or congress. Now in these
close times can you afford to pass these by at $1.95 and pay
$5.00 for a pair no better, just because they are not Congress.
Perhaps this will not appeal to the ultra-fashionable young
man; but to others that are not -sacrificing money and com
fort entirely to style, our statement should have some weight.

. City Recorder Dufur arrived home last
night, and this morning sentenced the

Mr. Geo. F. Wells, formerly engaged
in the sheep business here, died
Wednesday in Portland, of consump

The county court Wednesday granted
a license to operate a ferry between
Hood River and White Salmon to J. R
Rankin.
The steamer Regulator will not make
her regular trip until Monday, as it will
take a day or more to put her in first
class shape again.
The smoke has been denser today than
at any time this season. The surround
ing hills are out of sight, and the Wash
ington shore of the Columbia looks dim
and misty, and far away.
There will be a meeting of the stock
holders of The Ialle9 canning company
tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock in Mr.
Hugh Glenn's office. Important busi
ness is to le transacted, and a full at
tended is required.
Monday being Labor day, and there
fore both a national and state holiday,
Thk Chronicle forc will join the vast
throng of American laborers in observ
ing it. In consequence there will be no
Chboniclb issued Manday.
The Regulator will leave the Locks
- this evening and will be here either to
night or early in the morning, bringing
all freight now at the Locks. Freight
will be received tomorrow to go down

Dr. Sanders presented Thb Chronicle
. force a fine box of grapes raised on his
Roseland farm, three miles from town
The fruit is of fine appearance and deli
cious flavor, equalling California's
choicest product. Wasco is the best
fruit county in the state, and but a few
years will demonstrate this fact.
Milton Morris, whom we reported as
having bis arm torn off in a threshing
machine at Wapinitia, did not get his
arm in the cylinder but in the cogs.
The bones were not broken, bnt the
flesh was stripped from the elbow to
the shoulder. It may yet be possible
the arm will bave to be amputated.
xne uregonian speaks of a party re-
turning from Mount St. Helens, and
adds that they made the trip on bic
cles and camped six days at Trout lake,
from which we judge the writer inad
vertantly named St. Helens when he
meant Mt. Adams. There is a fine
road to Mt. Adams, bat none to St.
Helens.
Some person or persons, with a highly
developed sense of the humorous and a
unique originality, changed a lot of busi
ness signs last night. The principle
point of the joke was that the owners of
the signs were put to some inconven
ience in getting their signs back. This
delicate witticism is mentioned by Jose-
phus as having originated in - Tyre,
which is why, perhaps, its perpetration
generally gives one that Tyred feeling.
And now comes the statement that
Minnie Hill of Prineville is not dead,
but only sick. We do not know as to
the truth or falsity of this statement,
but we do know that more stories get
circulated and are told to the innocent
unsuspecting reporter, than can be har
monized with a respect for truth. This
state of affairs is liable to ruin ones con
fidence, and if kept up, we shall begin
to doubt the truthfulness, even of the
Salem Statesman.
For the information of those who are
going to Oregon Uity or Portland on
Sunday morning, we have been aBked to
state that the tickets will be on sale at
the Umatilla House on Saturday after
noon between 3 and 8 o'clock, and
would suggest that as many as can make
it convenient avail themselves of this
opportunity, so as to avoid delay and
confusion in the morning. Also that the
special car ordered will be put on the
side track near the hotel. Go on board,
get a good seat, and wait patiently un
til No. 1 comes along and carries you off.
THE MARKETS.
Miners Strike.
A report was current in this eity Mon
day that the miners at the Bobbins
Elkhorn had gone on a strike for higher
wages. Investigation proved the rumor
to be correct and that the miners had
gone out in a body and refused to return
unless their wages were increased from
$2.50 to $3.00 per day. The strike was a
surprise to Mr. J. H. Robbins, the
superintendent, as he had always been
of the opinion that the employes of the
mine were well satisfied with the wages
received, considering the hard times. It
is stated that Mr. Robbins has concluded
to close down the mine until be can pro
cure a new crew. Oregon Blade.
More Truth Ihss Poetry.
During the recent conference at Wan
peton, Minn., several of the ministers
were visiting trie nea Kiver valley uni
versity at that placo, and were taking in
the Latin class. One of them chanced
to pick up a copy of Caesar belonging to
certain very popular young lady stn
dent, and found the following poem on
a fly-leaf of the book :

Notice. '
Friday, Aug. 31. Business for the
week has improved perceptibly, with a
disposition of buyers to enlarge their
orders. Prices of merchandise have not
changed materially in any one line, un
lees it be in sugar. Since the passage
of the tariff bill, which went into effect
on its passage, the sugar market has be
come stronger, with a decided tendancy
to advance quotations.
The provision market is active on
steady quotations. Country produce is
in abundance, and the market is weak
in the face of large reserves. Potatoes
are sold at 50 cents to 75 cents per 100
pounds, the range of prices being gov
erned by size and quality.
In fruit the market is quite over
stocked, and large shipments to other
points are a daily occurrence. Peaches
are quoted at 35 to 45 cents per box.
Apples, pears and plums are in fair re
quest at a range of prices, varying from
25 to 40 cents per box.
Poultry is freely offered, and broilers
bring $1.25 cents per dozen, old fowls
being quoted at $2 to $2.25 per dozen.
The meat market is down to free
trade basis, and live stock are quoted in
this market as ' follows : Beef steers,
$1.50 to $2 gross weight ; mutton sheop,
1) to 2 centa per pound gross ; pork 32
cents on foot.
There is nothing doing in the wheat
market either in Portland or this city.
The mills are paying 31 cents per bushel
for good milling wheat, and the ware
houses when baying pay SO cents per
bushel. Eastern, as well as European
advices to present' date continue to re
port dull and weak markets. In Eng
land reports indicate a larger yield per
acre than last year. .
The London Times and Mark Lane Ex
press estimate Great Britain's crop among
the best ever made, and yet predicts
England and America's product will be
less than that of 1893," but admits that
Argentine with her surplus of 60,000,000
bushels together with that of most of
Southern Europe will close up the de
ficiency. America's consumption of
wheat for all purposes is about 370,000,
000, showing a probable quantity for ex
port over and above that carried over
from the last year's harvest, of about
230,000,000. A writer says that if the
producer could hold his wheat until
June 1st, 1895, which is not advisable to
attempt, the markets would double in
their quotations.
The wool market is nearly knocked
out as about all the wool in storage has
been sold. Since last report a light
flurry in wool was experienced, which
was of a short duration, and at the close
a lu'l in transactions showed a falling off
and and a settling back into the scale
of inactivity and depression. The tariff
bill which became a law by the inaction
of the president even at the last moment
completely paralyzed the wool business
and those that Bold early were the
gainers.
