claims provoked warm debate.
No freight trains have run east of here
on account of the big blast near Seuferts
The passenger train will run as usual to-
night and tomorrow all trains will go on
schedule time.
Is The Dalles going to Jet other towns
tget ahead and be represented at the hose
" tournament ..while no team goes from
here? Nearly all the sprinters are in
town and a splendid team could be
picked. Who has patriotism enough to
start tbe ball rolling?
The wool press in the Wasco warehouse
is etill running, though the amount of
wool remaining is very email. A few
, more days will see all the wool shipped

prosperous wool season thanks to com-
pptitive transportation, which made this
the best market. Next year we may ex-
pect still larger business.
Isacc C. Matney received his commis
sion today as postmaster at Matney a
new postoffice just created. Its location
is twelve miles from town up Mill creek,
five miles thia side of the Dalles Lum
bering Company's mill', along the line
of the flume.
It bad been supposed that the bicycle
contest, between two of our well known
citizens, had been allowed to drop, but
this morning one of them was seen rid
ing at 5 o'clock, so there will probably
be a challenge issued next week.
Jockeying is evidently going on.
1 here will be a basket meeting at the
camp ground on Three JUile, bunday
August 11 th. Preaching at 11 a. m. and
3 p. m. Rev. J. H. Wood of The Dalles
and others will be present to take charge
of the preaching services. All are in
vited to come with well-filled baskets.
The excursion from Eaetern'Oregon to
tbe Cascade Locks will be the largest ever
given by the people of tbe interior. Tbe
arrangements are made on a large scale.
Eveiybody in the Eastern part of the
state is desirous of attending, and tbe
locks will see tbe greatest crowd in its
history.
The Chronicle hopes the subject of a
band stand will not be allowed to drop
Tbe summer is hurrying past and if we
are to have any evening concerts the
stand should be built at once. Fifty
dollars could easily be raised and this
would be a cheap price for the muBic
that will be beard.
itie contractors at tbe locks bave tin-
ished building the large dredge which
baa been in process of building lor sev-
erai days, as soon as the water gets
low enough the dredge will be put to I
wora sluicing tne upper entrance to tbe
canal and when this is finished the
paratue win be taken to tbe lower end.l
i ne dreuge is a buge anair and will dis
lodge the dirt very rapidiy.
The telephone to Dufur, Tygh Valley
and Antelope will be a great benefit to
the country through which it passes and
to The Dalles. Tbe stages are slow and
it takes four days for an answer to come
from Antelope. When the telephone line
is complete the volume of business will
be greatly increased and the position of
of this city as the distributing point of a
large radius of country be all the more
strengthened.
Word was received yesterday evening
that tbe government buildings were on
fire, and it was feared that a geneial
conflagration would ensue. By bard
work, the fire was confined to the build
ing in which it started, tbe stables,
which were a total loss. It will not in
terfere with the work in any manner,
and it is safe to say the eonnd of the
steamboat whistles, that are now heard
only on tbe lower river, will awaken tbe
echoes here at Christmas time.
A man named W. J. White is being
looked for by the officers with a warrant
charging him with forgery. He came
into R. E. Williams store thia morning
cases are as follows:
25 cents
20 CENTS
15 CENTS
.10 CENTS
5 CENTS
& MAYS.
and bought a bill of goods tendering in
by "S. 8. Johns, Dalles Lumber Co."
Mr. Williams becoming suspicious took
the check to Van Bibber & Worsley and
afterwards to J. T. Peters. After exam
ining the check it was agreed that it was
a forgery and so it proved to be. The
imitation was not a very good one and
the forger had neglected to perforate the
corner with the amount as is the custom
with Mr. Johns. A warrant was im
mediately issued for White but up to a
late hour this afternoon he bad not been
found.
A Trimendoni Blast.
In company with E. E. Lytle, P. De
huff, Yardmaster Hoean, Ed. Howell
and several other gentlemen connected
with the railroad, a representative of
The Chboniclz visited the scene of the
big blast this morning. The switch en
gine, box car and a flat car loaded with
ties made up the special train, which
after a few minutes run and a short stop
at Seuferts cannery reached the place
where the work of improving tbe road
bed and track ia going on. Just around
the bend beyond 3-Mile creek a gang of
men are tearing down the hillside and
moving the track some distance from its
present location. This morning at 5
o'clock a blast one of tne biggest that
ever occurred on the road was fired
and tbe whole hillside torn from' its in
nermost depths. Tbe exact location is
what was known as the half bridge,
where the river washes along a per pen
dicular bluff and where only a bride e

The smoke was eeen fro

low rumble heard several miles away.
The experiment if such it may be
called proved a great success and the
railway officials and those who had
charge of the work feel well satisfied. A
Weat mass of rock filled the river for a
p. distance of over 50 feet from the track
nd made a sure foundation for the road
bed. The track was torn for several
undred feet. A large force of men were
mmediately put to work and by tonight
a temporary track will be finished so that
trains can pass in safety. This im
provement will be a great benefit to the
roadway and remove a cause of worri
ment that bus always been present to
train men.

curious relic, which to any collector of
curios would possess preat value. Mr.
Marders, while on a hunting expedition
. .
to Waukiakus springs, on the Klickitat
river, became acquainted with the In
dian chief, Waukiakus, from whom the
springs are named and in the course of
their friendship tbe old Indian presented

and lead and instead of having a bowl
the piece is perfectly straight. The In
dian gives his age as 100 years and says
his wife is 110, The old Indian felt that
his days along the Klickitat would not
be many and that in the happy bunting
grounds he would get a new pipe.
Waukiakus remembers when there were
no white people In tbe land and says he
recollects distinctly when the Lewis and
Clark expedition passed down the Co
lumbia. At that time he was about 9
years old. He still has the eye and look
chieftain and in spite of a bent form and
the heavy weight of years, carries him
self with dignity. : Mr. Marders highly
prizes the "pipe of peace" and intends
giving it to the Red Men's society to be
preserved in its archives. It is now at
The Chronicle office.
