BRIEF MENTION.

Reporters,
Additional Local on Fourth Page.
Frank Williams is reported better this
morning. It is now fonr days since the
accident and there is more hope of his
recovery.
A ride on the Regulator, fine music
and a moonlight night ; what a combin
ation, and all for 50 cents, Friday even
ing, Jane 7th. '
The upper river fell slightly last night,
except at Lewieton, where it rose a
trifle. The river here will begin rising
by Sunday noon and contine rising.
Dr. Ford's lecture Monday night will
well entertain all those who can go.
Admission 25 cents. , The subject will be
American Conflict, or who shall edu
cate out youth.''
The Regulator yesterday took a cargo
of Indians for Hood River. - They were
huddled together on the lower deck in a
way that required ingenuity on Purser
French's part to tell what was siwash
and what was not.
Two carloads of berries were shipped
last night from Hood River. This ex
pression may seem stereotyped, but
every carload means lots of money to
shippers this season. The baggage car
was well filled with crates.
The four-inch pipes necessary for lay
ing the main on Fourth street, arrived
last night from Portland and work will
be begun at once. The contract for lay
ing the pipes was let to W. R. Brown for
8 cents per foot. , The pipe was furnished
by Mays & Crowe.
D. P. Ketch um shipped four carloadd
of sheep to the Union Meat Company atl
Troutdale last night. A big shipment of
probably twenty cars ot sheep will be
made from this point about the 20th of
the month. The Dalles is growing in
importance as a shipping point and the
yards present a lively appearance every
day. .
Seldom has the wind blown as bard
early in the morning as it did did today.
At sunrise the river was lashed into a
fury and the angry white caps stretched
across the water till it did not rtquire
much imagination to picture from the
scene, an ocean storm. Better the wind
than the sickening beat of the Eastern
states.

PEASE
Senator Mitchell had a conference
with the-secretary of the interior and
secured a recision of the order issued by
the department prohibiting sheep from
running at large on the Cascade timber
reserve, and there will be no each pro
hibition of grazing sheep on the reser
vation. '
The First Anniversary.
A year ago today the great flood o
1894 was at its height. ' For days previ
ous the waters were steadily rising and
no one pretended to say when it would
stop. The Chronicle of a year ago to-
dap says: "Mr. Brooks gives ns the
reading of the gnage this morning as be
ing 59.5 at 9 o'clock, a rise since yester
day at 7:30 of 1.1."
The ' center of all business was on
Washington street. The business of tbe
whole town was huddled in a small
space. New . buildings sprang up with a
mushroom growth. Branners restau
rant, a representation of the Umatilla
House, and six or eight other buildings
were pnt up within a day. AH kinds of
ingenuity were shown in selecting places
of refnge, and business wen lost no time
in at least having a place for their signs.
Such a time was never seen before,
and we hope no eyes may ever look upon
the like again. A chiseled mark in the H
old Chronicle office, on the corner ot
Second and Washington- streets, tells a.
mute story of how tbe ' waters rose and
covered the land.

HON. A. J. DUFUR DEAD.
The Passing; Away of aa Acred Pioneer-
Be Was Prominent in the Atate--A
C serai Life Is Closed.
Lrst evening at about 6 o'clock Attor-t
ney E. B. Dnfur received word that his
father was dying at Dufnr. The mes
senger gave no further particulars, and
Mr. Dufur hastened to. reach the bed
eof bis father before death shou'd
me. .Leaving town witfh all haste, he
ad just reached the top of the Benson
rade when another messenger met him
saying bis father, Hon. A. J. Dnfur,
was dead. The end was not unlooked,
for, as the aged gentleman had long
been ailing, though tbete had been
nothing noticeably of late to give any
premonition of death. Yesterday after
noon be did not feel as well as usual,
and lay down. Soon it was seen the
end was near, and all the children were
summoned. Mr. Dufur lingered uncon
scious for some time, and died at about
6 o'clock last evening. His children.
w
with the exception of Mr. E. B. Dufur,
were present - at the bedside. Sever 1
years asro Mr. Dufur received a stroke
that left him in an enfeebled condition.
He has lived with his daughter, Mrs,
SI usher, in Dufur, but has always been
more or less at the homes of his other
children.
In the death of this venerable gentle
man there passes away one of Oregon's
sturdy characters. Mr. Dnfur was horn
in Williamstown. Vermont. September
17, 1816, and was thus .in his 80th year
at the time of his death. He bas al
ways been a farmer by occupation, and
has held manv important places in .pub
lic life. In 1855 he moved to Wiscon
sin, and two years later was elected a
member of the Wisconsin legislature.
In 1859 he crossed the plains, and set
tled on Columbia . Slough, near
Portland. Here he remained till
1872, when be removed to Wasco county
ana with bis sons founded the present
town of Dufur. His property Interests
near Portland kept him a part of the
ti me there, Tjut for the last ten years he
has resided continuously in Eastern
Oregon. He leaves three sons, E. B.
Dufur, of The Dalles, and Andrew and
W. H. H. Dufur of Dufur. Mrs. Ara
belle SI usher, at whose house he died,
was bis daughter. "
Mr. Dufur served in the Oregon legis
lature in 18G2 and afterwards for two
terms was president of the State Agri
cultural society.
In 1876 he was appointed commissioner
for Oregon at the Centenial exposition
in Philadelphia and ably represented
the state. Sir. Dufur was -a highly cul
tured and kindly gentleman and his
peaceful death was a fitting close to a
useful, well rounded life. The friends of
his earlier days have passed away and he
has joined them. His memory remains
a priceless heritage to his children.
The funeral services will be held to
morrow at Duiur. Rer. A. J. Brigham
will deliver the sermon. The final in
terment will take place in Lone Fir cem
etery, where his remains will be lie be
side those of his wile, who died five
years ago. '

The Academy 1'ark.
The school directors aie making ar
rangements to thoroughly renovate the
Academy Park echool and put the
grounds, which are capable of being
made very beautiful, in good condition.
New floors are to be placed in tbe build
ing and a cleansing process applied to
the walls and woodwork. The trees on
the campus aTe to receive a coat of
whitewash. - Tne building Btands in a
beautiful situation and the grounds are
very picturesque. Tbe directors of the
old academy labored bard to make tbe
site a pretty one and tbe results of their
efforts come down to the school district.
Tbe writer well remembers when a lad
at school of seeing Mr. D. M. French,
Mr. Brooks, Mr. J. W. French and other
gentlemen, who were interested in the
school, make frequent visits to the
grounds and spend much time in plan
ning means of making the campus at
tractive. Prof. Gatch used to assiduously
lecture the students on the necessity of
having a proper respect for the building
and grounds and used to point with. com
mendation to the pains "the directors
took in the appearance of .the school.
Very rarely was a scratch seen upon the
walls. It is a lamentable fact that the
academy did not survive, but we can re
joice that if it had to go, it has fallen
into such good hands and will continue
to be a power in the community for good
and progress. .
