program, refreshments and dancing will
entertain the guests. Admission, 25

The Herrick cannery yesterday in its
opening run put up seventy-five cases of
first-class Chinook salmon. The supply
is increasing daily, owing to more wheels
getting to work rather than to any great
increase in the run.
Professor Edwards, the great horse
tamer and breaker, will give an exhibi
tion at the fair grounds tomorrow after
cod. Wild and vicious horses will be
introduced and handled. The wonderful
trick performing horse, will also be ex
hibited.
Two young gentlemen in Portland
wound up a night's dissipation by turn
ing on a fire alarm. Judge Smith after
listening to their statements, took the
case under advisement for about half a
minute, and then fined them $100 each.
They will not indulge in that' kind of
luxury soon again.
For the nine months ending March 31,
the number of persons coming to this
country to find homes was 140,980 as
againct 218,648 in the same time in 1894,
and 259,580 in 1893. The money brought
by them amounted to $2,395,840, or
about $17 each, and yet we claim there
is. a law against pauper immigration.
By invitation of tbe Literary society
Dr. Doane will repeat the lecture re
cently delivered by him at the Willam

The lecture will take place Friday even
ing at 8 o'clock, in the Congregational1

attend. Special music will be on tbe
program. No admisbion will be charged
nor collection taken.
Quite a number of Dalles people went
out to Williams' grove yesterday to at
tend the May-day picnic. They all re
port having had a delightful time
There were about 200 present, the music
was fine, and the eatables and otber
substantial features of the occasion were
all that could be desired. Mr. J. C
Burks, of Sherman county, was orator
for the occasion and his address is highly
ppoken of.
Judge Bellinger is "onto his job" all
right, and does not purpose standing in
with the criminal class employed by
this government to promote crime. Doc
Davenport, who is a counterfeiter, was
brought before him for trial for counter
feiting silver coins. He pleaded guilty,
but made a long statement to the effect
that Harris, the United States special
agent, bad employed Fresch to get him
to make tbe coins, Fresch bought the
solder and the plaster for the molds.
Judge Bellinger does not believe special
agents , should go over the country
tempting men to commit a crime for tbe
purpose' of having them punished, and
so will discbarge Davenport. If the de
partment would follow suit and discharge
Harris, justice would be done.

Concerning: the Censes.
Editor Chronicle: I see by your
article in yesterday's issue, that there
are those who are disposed to think that
my enumeration of this city does not
give the population of The Dalles in
numbers to suit their ideas of magnitude.
Now, I was not taking the census for
any particular person or persons, conse
quently I did not inquire just what
numbers would suit them ; but the law
makes .it obligatory upon me as assessor
of the county to take the census of the
county, The Dalles included: so I
adopted the best and only means by
which a correct enumeration can be bad
and that was to take it street by street
and house by house, through the entire
city. I employed two competent men to
assist me and started out with tbe in
structions that they should miss no
house, one taking one side of the street
and tbe other the opposite, and miss no
place that any one roomed above or be
low, not even a bachelor's cabin, and
followed street by street and house by
house, taking the cross streets myself,
not missing a shanty without finding
out who and how many lived there, and
if we.came to a house that the lady was
not at borne we invariably found out the
name and number of residents by their
next door neighbor, not doubting its
correctness, and my roll is subject to in
spection by any one and at any time,
and if any of tbe critics can find a family
in Tbe Dalles that the name and nnmber
is not on my roll, I will find them a five
dollar piece in the ashes, as ' I had ho
interests to serve nor favors to grant,
other than doing my duty in performing
the work and anyone is perfectly we)
come to go over the work and I will com
pare rolls with them at any time.
F. H. Wakefield,
Assessor of Wasco County.
At tbe Operst Bouse.
The entertainment at the opera bouse
last night drew a large and enthusiastic
audience. . Tbe program was well' ren
dered and afforded an evening's pleasaDt
entertainment. Tbe tableaux were good
but the speaking tableaux were ' mute,
no one being able to hear what was said.
This was due largely to tbe rnde actions
and noise made by. those who should
know better. The scarf drill was beauti
ful as was the winding of the May pole,
and the recitation by Miss Gruhbs and
song by Miss Myrtle Micbell were thor
oughly appreciated.
We cannot forbear to mention in this
connection a custom that seems to have
grown to tbe proportions of ' a good sized
nuisance, and that is that no matter at
what hour a performance is advertised
to commence, a large-number will come
in half an hour late, a piece of inexcusa
ble rudeness. Tbe management at the
opera house should see that the curtain
goes up at the minute advertised and if
people still insist on coming late close
the doors until the curtain is down.
Bikes.'
city. - For a $100 wheel they have tbe
Rambler, which is one of the best known
bicycles on tbe market. It has many
special features and patents, not found
on any other wheel, oneof which is their
detachable tire, which is admitted to be
the best tire yet discovered, and which
is now need bv half of the manufacturers
in the United States. Tbey also have
the agency, direct from the manufac.
turers, for the celebrated Waverly bi
cycles, which are forging ahead of every
thing else this season, the factory hav
ing already turned out over 20,000 of the
95' wheels, and not being able at the
present time to fill their orders. This
wheel is certainly a very handsome one,
and is claimed to be the highest of high
grade, and what is still better they sell
for $85 and tbe ladies' wheel for $75.
In addition to these tbey have the
Chicago Ideals, which are made by the
manufacturers of the Rambler, as a
second grade wheel, are strong and sub
stantial, and it is bard to see the differ
ence between them and the $100 wheel.
These are old at $55 and $65.
They also have bicycles to rent, by the
day or hour.
