Lhtci From tbe Notebook of Chronicle Reporters. Additional Local on Fourth Pace. Weather fair and stationary for to morrow. Wheat sold Wednesday in Chicago for 687-8" cents for July and August deliveries. The streets were crowded with people this morning watching for the circus parade. Who will start the subscription for a baud stand. The money could easily be raised in half a day. The parade this morning was very creditable. Some of the horses were the prettiest we have ever seen. This is the day when old bachelors want to borrow a boy, so they can have an excuse for going to the circus. Lost, Wednesday morning, a ladies gold watch. Finder will be liberally re warded by leaving the same at this office. al-dlw The Dalles will soon have good streets' and sidewalks if the present improve ments keep up. The marshal and as sistants are doing good work. Mr. W. H. Mallock, tne English writ er of Socialism, has written for the Aug ust Dumber of Tbe Forum an article en titled "Is an Income Tax Socialistic?" The latest estimate gives 7,000,000 lbs, as showing the amount of wool which has passed through' the, warehouses in The Dalles this summer. Next year will see a still larger quantity.. The run away elephant this morning made a charge upon the buggy of E. C. Pease and proved more than a match for it. The cart was badly demolished and the management will be presented with a nice little bill. . " One hundred and sixty boxes of fruit came up last nighton the boat from Hood River. They arrived too late for the shipment east. The agent tried hard to dispose of them and shipped consignments to several stations along the road. Mr. J. W. Dickson of Endersby, lost a valuable two year old colt last Tuesday, The -animal had jnst been brought from the mountains and placed in the barn, when it escaped" 'and ran into a wheat field. The colt broke through a barb wire fence and dragged the top wire, a distance of over 500 'feet. Tbe animal started down a steep hill side, when tbe wire wrapped around bis legs, causing him to fall. The colt's neck was broken. Some loiterers on the back porch of the Umatilla House were amused yester 40 35 . " !! PEASE day watching one of your well known' physicians row a heav$ -ekiff across the river. The doctor received an urgent call from North Dalles and hurrying to the landing saw the ferryboat across the river. Remembering that in vouthful years he was something of an athlete, he took a large skiff that lay close at hand and pushed out into the; stream. The first hundred yards he did pretty well ; the next hundred was not so good. Then be took a spurt and got nearly to the middle of "tbe'river. The ferry boat had started frooi' ttyl Washington side, but bad to stop, as the doctor and his skiff were directly over the cable. Finally after exertions that tore tbe hearts of the lookers-on in sympathy, the boat reached the shore a long dis tance below the landing. . We didn't learn how many trips the:-ferry made in the meantime. Something not down on the pro gram happened during the circus par ade. Just as the procession was turning: the corner by Mays & Crowe's, two ele-f phants became refractory .and started: down Second street. All efforts of theirU keepers to restrain them were unavail ing. One of the animals became greatly excited and swayed his tvunk around in a manner that showed his temper was not of tbe sweetest. Tbe people along the sidewalk watched the huge animal with a great deal of interest, though not unmixed with fear. The elephant turned upon his keeper and pursued him until that individual climbed over the railing and took refuge in the cellar of the old Vogt building. The other elephant started, to come down the street and his presence had a quieting effect, and the two animals started up Second street towards . the circus. The keepers seemed to have no particular desire to come in close acquaintanceship with the beasts while they were in an ugly humor. One Drowning and. Nearly Two. A little after noon yesterday Mrs Scbrouden, a lady whose home is back of Stevenson, fell from the portage in cline at the Upper Cascades and was drowned. She had just been on board the Regulator and disposed of some ber ries, she was selling, to the steward The boat lay against the incline, upon which were standing several box cats loaded with freight. Mrs. Scbrouden sta'ried to'go between the cars and then changing her mind, walked along the edge of the incline, outside the cars. The men working on tbe boat beard a scream, and, mshirj forward, saw the unfortunate lady straggling in the water, She had missed her footing and fallen into the current. Charles Alderf, tbe' mate of the Regulator, threw aside his shoes, and, grasping a heaving line, plunged'' into the water. The current runs very swift at this point and both the" lady and Mr. Alden were fast float ing down the stream further away troin the boat. The brave officer had swum to witbin ten feet of the drowning wo man when the waters closed over ber head and she sank another victim to cruel Columbia. By' this time Mr. Al- cases are as follows: at.l at 20I CENTS at 1(5 CENTS lO CENTS .. .. G CENTS & MAYS. den's clothes were heavy with water and the line which he had tied around his waist bad slipped from the hands of the person holding it on shore. Two deck hands, Charles Nelson and W. Harding, seeing that Mr. Alden was in danger of drowning, unfastened a small boat and pulled with all speed. Tbe current had carried the officer a long distance from the Regulator and by the time tbe boat reached him he was sinking under the water. The boat was not a minute too soon and arriving just when it did, saved a 'brave man's life. Mr. Alden proved himself a hero and and faced death unflinchingly to sav a life. Although his effort to save the unfortunate lady were not successful, he has earned words of highest praise and commendation for his brave act. Such deeds as these make manhood nobler and prove that there are men who will meet death to save - another. The body of Mrs. Scbrouden vhad not been re covered at tbe time' tbe boat left Cas cades. She was aged about 25 and was known as a bard working woman. Tbe accident is deplorable. We Want a Band. Stand. At the last practice of the orchestra one of the members asked, "When are we going to give an open air concert?" Someone answered, "Whenever there is a band stand bnilt. The reply was proper and steps should immediately be taken towards building a stand where the band could play during the summer. We have the best musical organization in the state and one that any city, large or . small, should be proud of. Walla Walla has open air concerts once or twice a week and ' the people look tor- ward to them with pleasurable anticipa tions. In tbe summer when social hap penings are few and a great number of citizens gone to tbe coast, tbe town is apt to be quiet and life get a little prosy for those of. us that are left. An open air concert once a week would give a great deal of enjoyment to everybody and be the means of bringing people to gether. A stand could be erected for $50 or $75 which would amply fill the purpose. The orchestra has done a great deal for the town and is deserving of high praise for its usefulness. It is something of a request to ask them to play for nothing and yet we are confident tbey would do it. The Dalles can't have too many things going on that tend to the proper enjoyment of its people. All day yesterday men were at work loading fruit for shipment East. The car was billed to Chicago and contained apples, peach plums, peaches, black berries and cantelopes.
