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 co'm
fort entirely to style, our statement should have some weight.

SATURDAY, - SEPTEMBER 1, 1894
AUGUST AUGURINGS-
Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.
We are requested . to state that the
business houses will be closed Monday.
After much tribulation, the O. R. &
N. has concluded to rebuild the station
at Grants. The incline will also be put
1 in.
The Regulator has been listed over to
port by the use of spars, and is having
the damage to her hnll permanently re
paired. We bad the pleasure of meeting Prof.
Strattan this morning. He will be
ready to assume his duties in the public
schools Monday.
During the, absence from the city of
Chief Engineer Blaser at Oregon City,
Mr. Geo.-Manger has been appointed
acting chief engineer. He will also at
tend to Mr. Blaser's wagon shop.
Special attention is called to the
change in the time of the evening ser
vices at the churches at 7 :30 instead
of 8 o'clock. The same role will hold
for the Thursday evening meetings.
There will be an election for lieut.
colonel of the Third regiment this even
ing at regimental headquarters. In
spector Butterfield is expected to be
present to superintend the election.
The sheriff today sold the property of
M. V. Harrison in Hood River, a fore
closure of mortgage, Hon. E. L. Smith
being the buyer.' The property cost not
less than $10,000, but was sold for $3,325.
The storm last night was more severe
east of us than here. At Biggs thirteen
telegraph poles were blown down, and
the boards were torn from sme of the
old buildings and scattered promiscu
ously.
The Regulator arrived up this morn
ing about 9 o'clock. She will make her
regular trips beginning Monday, and has
been receiving freight today. She
brought up all the freight from the Cas
cade Locks.
The postoffice will be moved tomor
row to the Masonic building, Mr. Cros-
sen choosing to have the work done on
that day to prevent delay and annoy
ance to the public, which would neces
sarily follow the attempt to make the
change on a week day.
The government report on potatoes
for August as the lowest condition ever
known for this month. The drouth.
through t the East was the cause. If
there is not some " rain on the Pacific
coast soon there will be another decline
to note in the September report on this
same crop. Northwest Pacific Farmer.
The collectors are busy today remind
. . ing the good citizen that it is time to
square up and take a new start. Collec
or
PEASE
tions are good, in fact The Dalles is and
always has been one of the best towns
in the state in this respect. Times may
be good or bad, but somehow The Dalles
citizen always has money to pay his bills
the first of the month. May this condi
tion exist forever.
The public echools will be opened
Monday notwiths-anding the fact that
it is a legal holiday. As the day will be
spent in arranging classes and other pre
liminary work school will probably let
out early in the afternoon. As the
pupils have had ten or twelve weeks
vacation they can hardly 'find fault at
beginning work Monday.
According to Polk's directory, recently
completed in Portland, that city is rap
idly approaching the 100.000 mark. Mr.
Polk estimates the city's population at
91,055. It has been supposed. that Port
land would not show any gain, and in
fact a slight decrease would not have
been a great surprise. The gain is
therefore decidedly gratifying to all.
Labor day will be thoroughly enjoyed
by many of our people. It will give the
boys who have been at their work all
summer, and who could not go to the
seaside or mountains, one day of the
summer to fish, hunt, and have a day's
outing.. There can be whole lots of en
joyment crowded into a vacation, es
pecially if it extends only over one day.
St. Mary's Academy begins its fall
term Monday. The sisters have had
the buillding put In splendid shape
since the high water. The lower Btory
has been painted and tinted, the panel
ling grained, and other improvements
made. Besides they have engaged the
celebrated fresco artist, M. Moretti, to
ornament the chapel, and he is expected
some time next week.
Thejold fire engine was taken to the
depot this morning to be loaded on the
cars. It is handsomely ornamented
and will make an attractive part of the
parade. The big cougar mounted on
top of the machine looks as natural as
life, and from this office, when the boys
stopped at Nielsen's corner for a mo
ment, we noticed that the end of its tail
was in a line with the edge of the win
dow, while its head reached the edge of
the door, a distance of about eighteen
feet. We do net believe, however, the
animal was that long.
A Fine Bain.
Yesterday evening the first rain of the
season fell. Commencing about 9
o'clock it rained steadily until about 3
o'clock this morning. The dust was
thoroughly laid, the streets being quite
sloppy this mpming and water standing
in pools in the low places. According
to the government gauge the fall for the
shower was .53 of an inch. The best
result of the rain was the clearing away
the smoke, leaving the air as pure and
clear as it is in early summer.

Concerning Fruit Shipments.
Ashland has just shipped f carload of
peaches to Chicago, and expects" to get
enough for them to leave a .handsome
profit for the grower. The experience
of . our fruit growers in shipping to 'the
Eastern markets has, not been such as to
cause any inordinate desire on their
part to repeat the experiment. - Last
year and this shipments were made,
which failed to pay the freight and com
missions. It may be that the manage
ment had something to do with it. We
are told by those woo shipped this year
that the company doing the shipping
promised the growers that unless a full
carload was procured the shipment
would not be made. - Instead of this, a
half carload only was shipped the freight
amounting , to $325, or at the rate of
about $650 a car. There is no fruit that
can stand that freight and leave any
thing for the grower. It looks as though
there had been bad faith on the part of J
the company which is now Bending duns
to the fruit growers for commissions.
Last year fruit shipped from here by
the Earl Fruit Co. left nothing for the
growers, yet some of that same fruit has
bought by Dalles people' in Chicago,
they paying twenty cents a pound for it.
As it sold wholesale for an average of
about two cents a pound and the retailer
made 900 per cent. -profit, it looks like
the fruit grower was pretty thoroughly
plundered. With proper management
there ought to be money in shipping
fruit East, but the growers will have to
get together and ship it themselves. ,
The Blng.
The Bing cherry, one of Oregons'
beauties, and one of the most valuable
acquisitions to the fruits of the United
States draws comment and praise from
all who see it, even in California where
they are loath to acknowledge any frnit
superior to their own, the Petaluma
Courier says,' "J. W. Cassidy, the or
chardist, showed us a saperb specimen
of cherry the largest in existence, here
tofore not on the market. ' It originated
at Milwaukee, Oregon. Beth Liewelling
was the originator, and the agricultural
department at Washington spoke of it
in its reports, and Mr. Cassidy sent on
for samples, of which he received a ten-
pound box. The cherries are superb a
rich black with excellent flavor ; in fact,
Mr. Cassidy thinks they cannot be sur
passed. They measure over an inch in
diameter, and the quality, is superb.
They are called the Bing cherry, and
Mr. Cassidy intends to put in a lot of
grafts. Pacific Northwest.'
Hops on 15-Mlle.
We were shown some hops - today
grown on Mr. Max Vogt's place on 15'
Mile, that were first-class. The vines
were planted in May, and only a few
of them were poled. The others have
made a dense mat over the ground, and
expert hop' men say that had they been
cared for they would have prodnced
1200 pounds to the acre, which for .the
first year is equal to Yakima's best
showing. Mr. Vogt has about thirty
acres of land similar to that planted,
and will probably plant all of it with
hops next year. The present field con
tains about five acres.
