Strawberries are coming in quite
plentifully, and 10 cents will now bny a

' Mr. George D. Hunt the railroad build
or came ever from Goldendale today and
went on to Portland this afternoon. He
is at present preparing to build a road to
California but evidently has been taking
a look at the proposed Goldendale Lvle
road.
Reports from Snake river show that

warm weather. This morning the rivet

Lieutenant Cut.- Patterson went to
Hood River this afternoon to muster out
D. Company of the Third Regiment
This company has steadily gone down
for the past year or two until the muster
ing out process is largely a matter of
- form in fact it is nearly all mustard
and no meat.
The strawberries are getting ripe
the shortcake the Methodist ladies are
preparing to serve Wednesday evening
at the old Chronicle building, corner of
Second and Washington streets. From
8 until 8 the ladies will be ready towalT
upon their guests. The charge will be
. 15 cents for a big piece of shortcake
. with cream and a cup of coffee. Should
you not like shortcake, tbey w:ll give
yon bread and batter, strawberries and
cream, with a cup of coffee for 15 cents.
- The phonograph will be there, and all

The county court will meet on the 25th
at which time it is probable some action
will be taken concerning the Currant
Creek riad. It is of the utmost import
ance that this road be completed, and
it is hoped that id spite of the laudable
des're to economize, the commissioners
may feel that it is a necessity and not a
luxury that is being demanded. The in
terests of the whole country demand
that the road' be finished, and that at
once.
The Dalles Orchestral Union will give
another excursion to the Cascades next
Sunday on the steamer Regulator. The
boat will leave the wharf here- at 8
o'clock arriving at the Cascades at 10 :30.
Returning will leave the Cascades at 4
o'clock. Tickets for the round trip, 60
cents. The excursion Sunday before
last was the most delightful ever made
from The Dalles, and as the orchestra
will furnish music for the occasion, there
is no reason why the excursion Sunday
should not be fully aj pleasant.
Quite a number of Dalleeites left for
Portland this afternoon to attend the
meeting of the republican clubs in that
city tomorrow. They have our paternal
blessing, and we sincerely hope they
may come home alive. The prospect,
however, is not cheerful, as the dele
gates from the far eastern portion of the
state are going down brimful of silver
speeches to meet the host from Portland
that want peace and -want it on a gold
basis. It looks to us as though an irre
Bistable force was going to meet an im
movable body and the result cannot
therefore be even gueBeed at. The fires
may possibly be drawn and the temper
ature kept down, but we fancy there
will be a perceptible change in the wea
ther, such as will be conducive to the
ripening of strawberries by tomorrow
night. -
The Telephone Situation.
The telephone patent notice which has
appeared in The Chboniclk columns
daily, for the past few weks, probably
has considerable significance when taken
in conjunction with the telegraphic aews
item published in the Sunday Oregonian
of May 19th, to the effect that the
United States court of appeals in the
case ot the U. S. vs. the Bell Telephone
Company, relative to the Berliner
patent, had reversed the decision of the
lower, court and that therefore the Amer
ican Bell Telephone Co., practically re-
Itains its monopoly of all forms of battery

Weather Crop Bulletin No ' 8 of the
Oregon state Weather Mervlee for .
Eastern Oreg-oa.
Weather : Clear, warm weather pre
vailed up to the 19th, when a few light
showers occurred amounting to from .01
to .10 of an inch. The maximum tem
peratures ranged from 48 to 60 degrees
in the Columbia river valley and from
38 to 43 degrees . to the south of it.
Warm northerly winds prevailed on the
15th and 16th.
Chops: The ..warm winds did no
marked damage, further than to dry the
soil still more. The cereal crop is re
ported to be in fair condition in Wasco
and Sherman counties, generally poor in
Gilliam and Morrow counties and fair in
Umatilla , and Union comnties. More
rain in those counties would be of great
benefit and tend to largely increase the
yield. The fruit prospects continues ex
cellent. Berries of all kinds will be
unusually prolific. Strawberries are ri
pening rapidly and large shipments are
being made from Wasco county. Sheep
shearing continues and heavy, clean
are secured. The raage grass is
fairly good. The drives to the moun
tains will begin shortly. The outlook
for the years crop is abopt a fair average
at this date. The success or failure of
the cereal crops depends upon the rain
fall and temperature during the next
four weeks. , .

PERSONAL. MENTION.
Marshal Blakeney requests ub to say
that much complaint is being made
about cows being left in the city limits
with their bells on at night, thus causing
considerable annoyance to good citizens
who desire to pat in the night without
any serenading from the cud-cbewmg
itinerent dairies. Any well bred cow
should be ashamed to retire for the night
with her jewelry on, especially during
the present financial depression, when
some good citizen, driven by free trade
and the silver erase to the verge of des
peration, might be tempted to burglarize
the cowyard and walk off with the cow
ornaments. There is an ordinance for
bidding law-abiding cows wearing bells
at night, and unless the owners see to it
the marshal will have to. ' Out of regard
for our city marshal we hope that this
note of warning may be heeded, and
that he may not have to become a cow
soubrette, or chief lady-in-waiting to her
lactated highness. The bells should be
removed and each and every cow should
be provided with a pyiama, or some
other sleep producer. '
- - Firemen, Attention.
All firemen are requested to attend
meeting of the department this (Tues
day) evening, in the council room, at 8
o'clock, to take into consideration mat'
ters connected with the flremena' annual
tournament, to be held la Vancouver,
Wash., during the month of September,
Please be on hand and on time too. -John
Blaskb, Chief.
