BRIEF MENTION.
Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporter.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is
fair and warmer.
Coo'er weather with rain or enow is
p-edicted for tomorrow.
On New Year's eve comes the Colum
bia Hose company's dance.
A gentleman just in from Antelope
says the weather in that locality has
been quite severe.
Thomas Strickland plead guilty to a
simple assault in Justice Davis court
and was fined $10, which ho immediatly
paid.
Now is the time to clean the cross
walks. They are uniformly in a eloppy
condition. A shovel and broom fre
quently applied will cure the trouble.
The condition of Constance French is
much improved and the anxiety of her1
relations and friends is greatly lessoned.
She seems on the road to rapid recovery.
When the commercial and athletic
club rooms are completed, it is probable
a house warming will be given, which
will be a social event that can be looked
forward to with pleasure.
Invitations for the hose company's
dance have been sent to a large number
of people outside The Dalles and the at
tendance of a good many visitors from
other places is expected. ,
The elements are on a jangle today.
The wind has blown furiously all -day,
while the rain haB been beating down
spasmodically since last night. The
ground is becoming thoroughly soaked.
Two drunks occupied the city jail last
evening and upon greeting the recorder
this morning, received fines of ten and
five dollars. They retired to the city
jail to decide whether they would stand
the raise or pass.
The financial outcome of the military
ball was very satisfactory. The receipts
equalled the expenditures and that was
all the managers wished. The ball will
long be remembered as a ' successful
event, and cause our citizens to take a
greater interest in .Co. G and the Third
Regiment.
Yesterday evening a chinaman wan
dered into Herbring's store ostensibly
to make a purchase, and while looking
over some of the goods displayed upon
the counter, he was noticed to take
a pair of pants and secreted them under
his coat. Policeman Connelly came
- along just at this time and took the ce
lestial in charge. His examination is
taking place this afternoon in Justice
Davia court- Although all chinamen

look more or less alike, this one has so
close a resemblance to Lee Git the
murderer of Lock Wo that several
persons remarked upon it.
The exercises at the kindergarten
yesterday afternoon were largely at
tended by the parents and friends of the
children who took part in the proceed
ings. Each child had made presents for
its parents and the pieces of their skill
were distributed to- the satisfaction of
the older persons and the intense enjoy
ment of the little ones, who will count
the day as one of the brightest in their
short memories.
Yesterday afternoon as the Regulator
was passing Viento on her np trip, the
officers and passengers saw a deer wad
ing in the river along the shore. It was
meandering peacefully along totally
unconecious that a bullet from some of
the lumbermen in the vicinity might
bring a Eudden end to its career. Deer
have at various time been seen in that
locality and several have been caught
while swimming in the river.
Yesterday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
Kelly sold at sheriff's sale 2300 acres,
situated near The Dalles. The sale was
based upon an execution in the case of
the German Saving & Loan Society vs
T. J. May, Carrie D. May and S. B. Mc
Cormick. The amount of the judgment
including costs was $0597.87, and this
was the sum at which the property was
bid in by the judgment creditors. The
land ' was a part of the old D. E.
Thompson's place on 5-Mile, which
since Mr. Thompsons ownership, has
passed through several different hands.'
There is about 6,000 acres in the tract
which has long been used for - pasturage
purposes.
Sheriff Driver received a telephone
message from Dufur last evenfng, saying
that the condition of Tim Edmunsen,
who was shot last Sunday by Ed. Story,
was worse and the belief prevailed that
the wounded man could not recover.
Story is under arrest and will be kept
under strict surveillance. It is possible
that he will be brought to Dufur tomor
row, and in case he is, Sheriff Driver and
Deputy Pros. Atty. Phelps will drive out
there and hold the preliminary examin
ation. More recent reports of the stab
bing say that Story claims Edmunsen
struck him with his fists and in self
defense Story did the cutting. The
community at Wamic is considerably
excited over the affair.

The TP heat Market.
The wheat situation is a pnzzler to the
man who is holding for a hither price.
In The Dalles, just at present, the wheat
market exiets only in name, as no
movement has been noticed for some
time. By Christmas it. was expected
that the price of wheat would rise a few
notches, but it hasn't done so nor can it
be said there is any immediate prospect
of an advance. Some farmers, who have
held this long, will not be able to hold
for a greater period, and some Eales may
result at current prices. The Commer
cial Review of Portland has the follow
ing report which gives a resume of the
situation. The report is dated Decem
ber 24th :
The market for wheat is quiet and
weak, and prices have made a decline of
about 2c on the week. The movement
from the interior showed a falling off on
account of the severe snow storms in
Eastern Oregon, but the volume of
gram received at this port is fully ample
to meet all requirements. Vessels in
port are receiving prompt dispatch, and
it looks as if by January 1st all vessels
in port engaged will be cleared.- Ex
porters are not baying very heavv. as
we have formerly stated that they have
plenty of wheat on hand for all encased
tonnage, the same has been verified by
the prompt dispatch of seven ships
the past ten days, having on board 275,
000 centals of wheat and 25,000 barrels
of flour. Shippers are payine here 40J
50c per bushel for Walla Walla, and
valley 52c. Arrivals of grain tonnase
are decreasing rapidly, and giving ex
porters plenty ot time to obtain wheat
for future requirements. General wire
advices from the East and Europe
throughout the week were mainly of a
bearish character, with little in the sit
uation of an encouraging nature for the
holding interest, and our local condi
tions will hardly be changed unless
loreisrn markets ehouid move up sharply.
of which action, at the moment, no sigus
are visible.
FOREIGN MARKETS.
Foreign, advices during the week
brought little encouragement to wheat
holders. While there was a slight re
covery in values, the improvement ap
pears to be merely nominal, as any ad
vance iu asking prices is met bv a with
drawal of bids. The quantity on pas
sage in quarters is as follows: To the
U. K.. 2,280,000; to the continent,
1,130,000. Farmers' deliveries of wheat
for the week ending December 14 were
29,000 quarters, at an average price of
24a 9d per quarter.
Broomhall says that the tone of the
market remains very subdued ; however,
all the time there is an undercurrent of
strength previiding the situation, the
fact being that in spite of the lack of
speculative sentiment, there is yet a
very large consumptive business passing.
British mills this season will have the
task of rendering into flour something
like 26 million quarters ol foreign wheat,
and will consequently have the handling
of 3,000,000 sacks more flour than was
the case in 1893-74, a considerable in
crease in trade in so short a time as 12
or 18 months. For the remainder
of the season the U. Kr trade will re
quire at least 600,000 quarters of
foreign grain weekly, while nearly an
other 400,000 quarters will be required
by continental countries. Now, when
there is only one-half of Russia's Dorts
capable of shipping, the remainder being
ice-bound, and the Danube being threat
ened with a like visitation from the frost
king, there remains only a Dart of Rus
eia and the Atlantic American ports
whence Western Europe can go to Bap-
ply ner pressing wants.
