BRIEF MENTION.
LTi From the notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.
Additional Local on Fourth Pace. '
Another lot of Sberar wool arrived to
day and is being baled for shipment as
speedily as possible.
Workmen are busy today building a
new cellar under the building occupied
by Stabling & Williams.
nni 1 .1 wt r
will take place from the family real
dence tomorrow morning at lO 'o'clock
W. O'Brien, who was given six
months in the penitentiary for figuring
in a cutting scrape, was taken to Salem
yesterday.-
Three cars of sheep and two'of cattle
were shipped from Grants last night to
Portland. One car loaded with bogs
went from The Dalles.
The new water main on Fourth street
bas been laid and the dirt all filled in.
This will give an increased pressure to
water in that locality. .
Frank Williams, who was hurt in the
accident at Deschutes, is reported as do
ing nicety ana strong nopes are now
entertained or his recovery.
Charlie Nelburger made a small catch
of fish last night in his nets a short dis
tance below town. Some of the fish
. were of good size, but they didn't num-
" ber very many;
Mr. Brooks was up to the messhouse
yesterday and says the water is about
two feet above the top of the 60-foot
water guage. The river here registers at
23 feet, which shows a remarkable differ-.
ence between the two places. .
The Chronicle force is somewhat used
up today. Three from the office were in
the play last night and the preceding re
hearsing caused a loss of sleep that
accounts for heavy eyelids. This his
trionic life isn't all attraction.
Jackson. Engine company will give a
fitting end to the Fourth; Arrange
ments for' their ball are nearly com
pleted, and it promises to be a very en
joyable and successful affair. Good
music and a good time are promised.
The Dalles is to have some revivat ser
vices. The Seventh Day Adventists
bare come to town and raised a large
tent on the Moody lot, on the corner of
Liberty and Second streets. Seats have
been provided and services will be
regularly held.
The people of Kingsley are going to
have . a., monster . celebration on . the
Fourth. An attractive pro-Am bas
been prepared of literary exercises and
athletics and judging from the men who
compose the committee the'day will be a
grand success. .
The little daughter of Capt. Johnson,of
the - ferryboat, died yesterday, after., a
short illness. - She had only been sick a
day or so' with cholera infantum and her
-death' was very unexpected to "the
family. Her age was about 11 years.
The funeral took place this afternoon. .
The Taine club had its last meeting at
the residence of Mrs. Wilson. A large
member of : ladies were in attendance.
The topic for discussion and study was
Taines' lecture on The Great English
man. Macaulay and in the reading, of the
history. The evening passed very pleas
antly. . -
The fishing season so far is not a shin
ing success. .Persons who know say
there are plenty of fish in the river,- but
the water ie so clear that they do not
run amuck the wheels, and consequently
none are caught. A big rain to help the
crops and muddy the river would be
juBt the thing. "
Mr. Emil Schanno, oar member on the
state horticultural board, drove out to
Tygh Valley today on bueiness connected
with fruit raising. Mr. Schanno is very
active in aiding fruit culture in this sec
tion and his persistency ia having de
cayed orchards cut down and trees
sprayed, is already showing beneficial
results. ..." . ;;"..
8 he riff Driver took the crazy man
with the multitudinous name, to the
asylum. He was examined yesterday
and clearly showed himself of unsound
mind. He insisted upon his right to be
called by any name he chose. His dis
taste for food passed away and Jailer
Fitzgerald says he ate more than three
ordinary men could eat yesterday.
-' The warehouse of A. M. Williams &
Co. is being renovated and preparations
are being made to establish a hardware
department, in connection with their
already large spore. This enterprising
firm discontinued their hardware de
partment a year or so ago and their re
suming now indicates a strong belief in
the future of The Dalles as a fine busi
ness point.
The executive committee on the
Fourth of July celebration held a meet
i lg last night. They first met in Maier
& Benton's store and then transferred
the scene ot operations to John Hertz'.
Messrs. Maier, Stephens, Chrisman,
Herts and Jacobsen attended the meet
ing and discussed informally ways and
means for the . best advertising of the
time we are going to have. '. The gentle
men who had been canvassing the town
reported excellent success and . that
everyone was showing a disposition to do
all they could to aid the enterprise
lue committee will have another meet
ing today.
A Successful Repetition.
It was something of an experiment onl
the part of the management to have
"Damon and Pythias" repeated last
night; but the crowded opera houte
showed the wisdom of the move. As
soon as it was announced that the play i
would again be given, seats began to sell
rapidly,-and all the choice ones were
soon disposed of. The rudience that
attended last night was more demonstra
tive of its appreciation than the one on
the previous night, and applause was
frequent and . hearty. The play ran
smoothly, without a hitch or hesitancy,
and many were kind enough to say that,
if possible, last night's performance was
more pleasing than the first.
At the close of the fourth act the ap
plause continued so long that Mr. Ras
mus was compelled to appear before the
curtain with Mr. Hampshire, with
whom as "Lucullus,", he had just fin
ished a scene. A beautiful bouquet was
sent up from the audience and presented
to Mr. Rasmus on behalf of bis friends
in ine uaues. lue gentleman, in a
few well-chosen words,' thanked the
donor, and expressed bis thanks to the
people of the city who had shown their
appreciative attention. , .
An accident happened to the bass viol
early in the evening, which deprived the
orchestra of its beautiful tones. Tbemu
sic between acta was excellent, and the
soft notes during the impressive parts of
the acting were very prettyv especially
Rubenstein's Melody in F, which was
exquisitely played by Mr; Birgfeld at
the piano and Mr. Burchtorf with the
violin. .The Dalles is fortunate in hav
ing two such pleasant attractions as the
Dramatic Club and the orchestra.
Move Honors For The Dalles.
At the meeting of the Womans Relief
Corps yesterday in Oregon City, Mrs.
Myers of this city was chosen president,.
This is the most important office in the
gift of the Relief Corps for fhesfate, and
it is needless to say the honor conferred
is a great one. The Oregonian prints
the following biographical sketch of Mrs
Myers, which will be .interesting to pur
readers though they are well acquainted
with ber life: " '
"Mary 8cott Myers, who was chosen
department commander of the Woman's
Relief Corps, is the wife of an old sol
dier, W. S. Myers, now an attorney at
The Dalles.; They were married in Ver
mont before the war and ' Mrs. Myers
taught school while her husband was at
the front four years in : the Sixth ' Ver
mont infantry. After the war t'nev
came to Oregon fourteen years ago and
settled in The Dalles. vMrs. Myers
joined J. W. Nesmith corps when it was
organized and she has three times been
elected president of that corps. She has
been past department president, nation
al aide , and delegate to the national
council. , For niije years she taught in
The Dalles academy.. She is a cultured
woman of good exmutive . ability and is
admirably fitted to be the head of this
women's patriotic order. .While she is
no longer young, the years hare dealt
ightly with her and she is a gracious
and beautiful woman, of quiet manner,
intelligent, strong, tactful, thoroughly
feminine and altogether a delightful per
sonalty."
Mrs. Mamie E. Briggs of The Dalles.
wa? honored by being elected treasurer,
and this city was certainly fortunate in
having two of ita.prominent ladies elec
ted to such important offices. ;.'

Mr. Sberar ana His Work.
Mr. j. H. Sherar showed this office
yesterday the honor of a call and . with
him brought some pictures of the new
road he bas just finished up the Currant
creek grade. The views were taken by
an Antelope photographer and shows
the road from the beginning of the hill
to a point two miles from the top. In
one place were seen a lot of Indians
blasting out a portion of the grade,
while at a point farther down the hill
stood Mr. Sherar's team and horses.
The country on every hand was wild and
rugged and the hills or mountains
rather very high. It can easily be told
the road is splendidly built and the
grade very easy. The solid foundation
of rock at almost every point promises
years of usefulness for the 'construction
and travel will have a tendency to im
prove rather than deteriorate the road.
The total cost bas been over $2500,
(1000 of which Mr. Sherar has himself
borne. The county court has appro
priated altogether $800 at one time $500
and at another $300 and a better inveBt
ment could not have been made. The
business men of The Dalles raised $600
and cave it to Mr. Sherar, while con
tributions were made by Antelope and
other places along the line. Mr. Sherar
has justly earned the title- of Wasco
county's "first citizen."
The Street Commissioner.
To the Editor : The article in Mon
day's Chronicle, regarding the street
commissioner, while doubtless not in
tended in anvwav nersonal to Mr. Butts,
conveyed an impression which might do
him an injustice. The road through
Thompson's addition does not lie within
the city limits, although possibly it
should, and the" street commissioner is
TinwerleflH to imnrnva it. The hrewerv
grade does not seem to be in a bad con
dition, and while it is true our sidewalks
are nof in good repair, the fault lies with '
the property owners. Oar present com
missioner has endeavored to do his duty
and worked to the best of ' his ability to
keep pur city in good repair.
This morning about 7 o'clock the team
of Mr. Sandoz, which was standing at
the west end of Second street, took a
sudden notion they wanted to go to the
brewery and they went. ' The horses '
are good travellers" and they tore up
Second Btreet at a lightning speed. J ust
in front of Tease & Mays' store they
made a carom on a telephone pole and ,
ahmrvil tn th other aide of the street-
Nothing daunted they kept on till the-
lat wv.n of them thev were hittins only.-
the high1 places by the brewery. Ther ...
wagon was considerably' damaged, bat ..
the horses were not injured. ' Mr. San
doz is getting good training for a sprinter,
as this is the second time be has run a .
race with his horses up the street. : The .
other runaway was about two weeks. agj.
