BRIEF MENTION.
Leares From tne Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.
The weather bureau predicts enow
and cooler weather for tomorrow.
The Red Men will hold installation
ceremonies in their wigwam tomorrow
evening. The exercises are promised to
be very interesting, and corn and veni
Bjn will be supplied in abundance. j
Mrs. I. N. Sargeant, who is ill with)
pneumonia,-is. reported to beholding
her own and the last two days see no
change in her condition. Her friends
are hopeful that her recovery may be
assured.
The members of the Real Estate Ex
change will be glad to receive the names
of any people in the East who are con
sidering moving to the West. Copies of
thejpamphlet just issued by the Ex
change will be sent them.
A crowd of twenty-five skaters went
down on the afternoon train to try the
ice at Snipes' lake. A special engine
and car will go down and bring them
back this afternoon. Reports from the
lake this morning say the ice isvgood.
A report was circulated around town
last night that Dr. Sutherland was taken
seriously ill and the rumor Boon as
sumed an exaggerated form. The doctor
was quite indisposed, due to over work
during the past few weeks, but is him
self again today.
In the county court today Q. A.
Stewart was appointed road supervisor
of district No. 1. This district embraces
Cascade Locks, and is the one in which
there is a good deal of contention over
the supervisor. Several arrests have
been made on the non-payment of taxes,
and a muss raised all around.
Robert Walters, who lives on Dutch
Flat, brought to town this morning a
bald eagle, which he caught in a trap.
The bird, which is. not yet full grown,
measures seven feet from tip to tip.
Mr. Walters wanted to dispose of the
bird to the Commercial Club, but none
of the trustees thought they had time to
take care. of it, so the bird remains un
purchased. At the Relief Corps installation cere
monies Saturday night Mrs. J. M. Pat
terson, the retiring president, was pre
sented by the members of the Corps
with a pretty I little remembrance in the
shape of a gold Corps badge. Mrs. Pat
terson was much pleased at this expres
sion of the regard in which her services
were held by the members of the Corps
E. H. Merrill and John Osborne, who
are fishing near the rapids, caught a
sturgeon yesterday which weighed over
600 - ponnds. When , dressed, the fish
weighed over 300 pounds. . The, head
weighed 125 pounds. After one of these
huge sturgeon is caught with the hook,
t is no mean tries to iana it saieiy on
shore. The price of the fish in Port
land is satisfactory.
The reports of M. Doyle, supervisor
of road district No. 7, J. C. Egbert, No.
13, O. C. '.Paquet, No. 18, were received
and accepted in the county court today.
In the matter of the road petitioned for
by German Sequie, the proof of posting
and bond were filed and the petition
read. George A. Liebe, John Filloon
and E. P. FitzGerald were appointed
viewers and E. F. Sharp surveyor.
Yesterday afternoon the Columbia
took a notion to ris, and for a time,
swelled its watersSthe rate of nearly
an inch an hour. IjSlias continued rais
ing today, but the codKr weather will
doubtless check it by this morning.
The warm days of last week were ac
countable for the riee. The workmen
on the Regulator would be considerably
inconvenienced by any material rise in
the river just at this time.
The petition which Douglas Allen has
been circulating yesterday and today has
received a large number of signatures.
The petition is addressed to the post
master-general, and asks that a daily
mail service be established between
Moro and The Dalles. The present
route the mail takes is by railroad to
Grant and by stage to Moro. The pro
posed change would give better service
to three stations along the line Eng
lish's, which is eight miles from The
Dalles : Allen's, fifteen miles, and
Starnes, twenty-two miles. Moro is
about twenty-eight miles' from The
Dalles, and it is said the change will ac
commodate more people at both ends of
the line than the present arrangement.
It is time to get up interest in the
meeting of the McKinley club, which is
scheduled for Thursday evening iu the
council chambers. Matters of import
ance will come before the club, and it is
earnestly desired that every member,
who can possibly attend, will make an
effort to do so. 'Delegates will be elected
for the state meeting of clubs in Port
land, February 4th, and matters of pro
cedure decided upon. The McKinley
club is- composed of the representative
Republicans of the city and should place
itself in trim to do active . work for the
Republican cause during the" coming
campaign. Every -Republican should
make it a point to be present Thureday
evening, ana Dy ns presence lend en'
couragement to the cause.
A good joke is told on one of the well-
known bank cashiers of the city. Last
night, while working in the bank at a
late hour, he heard what sounded, like a
pistol shot, which a few minutes later
was followed' by another. An officer
was summoned, but found no trace of
the person who had done the shooting,
This morning the mystery was ' ex
plained. It seems the bank counter
stands over the register and the heat
caused the boards to open, causing a re
port like a pistol : shot. The story
sounds a little fairy like, we'll admit,
but it is vouched .for by one wbose ver
acity fs unquestioned. This is as near
a bank robbery as any of our banks
want to come.- - Pendleton can have, its
postoffice , robbery and Portland its
street car hold-ups The Dalles is con
tent with the popping of a bank counter
Death of George FT. Thompson.
George H. Thompson is dead 1 A tel
egram was received this morning, say
ing that Mr. Thompson died yesterday
at Colfax. His death, while it will
cause a shock to the vast number of
people who knew him and were his
friends, caused no surprise to those who
were aware of his critical condition.
For nearly a year Mr. Thompson has
been ailing, and last summer went to
California to see if the milder southern
climate would not restore his shattered
health. The trip did him little good,
however, and a few months ago he re
turned to Colfax and grew worse. He
has been confined to his bed for several
weeks, much of which time he suffered
great pain. His illness was described as
catarrh of the stomach.
The death of Mr. Thompson occasioned
deep regret in The Dalles. To few men
has it been given to enjoy such popu
larity as George Thompson did. For
six years he occupied the 'position of
county clerk of Wasco county, being
elected by what were considered phe
nomenal majorities. The first time that
he was .chosen county clerk his majority
was a narrow one, being, if memory
serves us right, but five Votes. The next
time it was nearer five hundred. Mr.
Thompson had the faculty, to a remark
able degree, of winning friends, and the
intelligence of his death will be ead
news to hundreds of people in Wasco,
Sherman and Gilliam counties, where
he was known.
Mr. Thompson was aged about 40
years and leaves a wife and one boy.
His widow is a daughter of J. B. Con
don, Esq., of this city. For several
years Mr. Thompson has been in the
auditor's office of Whitman county.
The remains will arrive in The Dalles
tomorrow morning and the funeral will
take place Wednesday at 2 'clock,
either from the Congregational church
or the residence of J. B. Condon.
An Immigration inducer.
There has just been Issued from The
Cdeoniclb office an immigration
pamphlet for The Dalles Real Estate
Exchange." Five thousand copies have
been ordered, and will be sent to places
where it is thought the most good will
be accomplished. The pamphlet num
bers twenty-four pages of reading mat
ter, descriptive of . the resources of
Wasco county and the natural advan
tages of The Dalles. Full statistics are
given of the products of this section and
our resources portrayed in a convincing
manner. The work is profusely illuS'
trated with cuts showing places of com
mercial and artistic Interest, A bird's
eye view of The Dalles serves as a fronts
piece of the book. . Following this comes
a view of one of . our warehouses, and
then a picture giving some idea of the
wool shipping ' business done -at '.The
Dalles. - The other cuts show a station
ary fish wheel in the rapids above town,
a fish scow in the Columbia, a prune
orchard near The Dalles, a view of W,
H. Taylor's farm on Dry Hollow, the
Court street Echool, the county court,
house, a band of sheep ready for ship
ment, the Academy Park echool, St.
Mary's Academy, Bridal "Veil Falls,
Mount Hood," from near The Dalles,.
Latourelle Falle, Hercules' Pillars, the
Dalles City in the rapids at. the Cas
cades, Cape Horn, Multnomah falls and
Oneonta Gorge. Some tables prepared
by Mr. S. L. Brooks give a good .idea of
the equable climate which prevails in
Wasco county. The text of the book,
which was ' written by J. H. Cradle
baugh, was creditably done and has left
nothing out in the way of information
for the intending settler.
The Real Estate Exchange is doing a
good work in disseminating knowledge
concerning our fair land, and the distri
bution of the pamphlets will undoubt
edly be the cause of tending immigra
tion towards Wasco county.
Good Niwa from Senator Mitchell. -
Late last evening the following dis
patch, which contains good news for.
settlers on government lands who have
made improvements, but not actually
resided on the lands they wish to patent,
was received : -Editor
Chbokiclk :
My bill protecting the rights of settlers
on railroad lands, who have fenced or
otherwise improved the same, but who
do not actually reside thereon, passed
the senate today.
John H. Mitchell,
Washington, D. C, Jan 13.
The provisions of this bill were pub
lished in a recent issue of The Chroni
cle. Should the ' measure pass the
house, it will undoubtedly receive the
signature of the president and become a
law, which will be very acceptable to
settlers on railroad lands.
