the water on us very fast, and we are putting the knife

The barn leased by the Wasco ware
house is the Second street barn, and not
the one on Fourth street, an impression
gathered by our readers from Saturday's
Chboniclb. Messrs. Ward, Kerns and
Robertson have not gone out of the
livery business. They merely rented
their Second street barn for the accom
modation of the surplus wool which is
received by the Wasco warehouse.
The expected has happened. . Th
rising water of the river has washed out
the track in various . places between
Umatilla and The Dalles and traffic is
impeded, if not blocked. The morning
passenger, was delayed by a washout of
three lengths of rail above Seufert's
cannery, and did not arrive until
i.Ey
a. m. A special construction crewj
was dispatched to the scene of trouble
at 4 o'clock this morning.

a larger number of citizens than usual
listened to the beautiful concert by The
Dalles band yesterday afternoon. The
overture "Poet and Peasant," is very
melodious and was faultlessly inter
preted by a full complement of instru
ments. The other selections were
scarcely less beautiful and the audience
was very attentive throughout the whole
hour of the concert. The placing of
seats is a great improvement and tends
to increase the attendance.
. Tnere is no market for wool. Buyers
are here, but are making no offers.
There is no demand for it. Boston is
so overstocked already with the raw
product that there ib difficulty in finding
places to store it. Manufactories are
closed. A good deal of English cloth is
being purchased in the centers of trade.
There is a congestion in the wool trade
which will increase with time until
great financial trouble . ensues, unless
there is some remedial legislation Boon.
A settlement has been effected with
the McCoy ditch laborers for 60 cents on
the dollar. The morning was spent In
attending to the men's papers, and the
sheriff's office presented a busy scene
throughout the forenoon. The sheriff
took the afternoon train for Portland,
where, it is supposed, he will get the
money necessary to pay the men half
what is due them, returning with it to
morrow. This will be accepted by the
men in full for their claims.
A reward of $100 has been offered by
Mrs. C. M. Hogue, mother of the 10-year-old
boy who was drowned on Tues
day, the 16th, for the recovery-of the
body which has been searched for ia
vain by many Pendleton men. Major
Harper, oi tne Umatilla Indian agency,
has promised to inform the Indians of
the offer and it is thought the Indians,
who are expert swimmers, will make ef
forts to find the body, which has been
three days in the water. Pendleton

Examination Papers at St- Mary's.
The examination papers oi the classes
at St. Mary's academy have been on ex
hibition since .Saturday. A perusal of
them well repays the effort; and two or
three hours of time may be thus pleas
urably spent. The papers are prepared
by pupils ranging in age from 7 to 17
years and cover many branches of study.
A general peculiarity of them all is the
pen or pencil drawings that adorn most
of the papers, many of them revealing
considerable artistic merit. The compo
sitions are on all' sorts of subjects, and
are generally illustrated. A composi
tion by Miss Ada Smithy gives, in true
repertonal style, an account of the exer
cises at St. Mary's academy on St. Pat
rick's day, the 17th of March last. An
other one is an account of HughGour
lay's lecture in the Baptist church, a
very edifying report. .May Johnson, a
little girl, of 7 or 8 years, tells of how she
did a washing, picturing the tub, wash
board, soap, etc., with marvelous fidelity.
Anna Brogan, another iittle girl, gave
the life hietory of a potato, showing the
vine in its " natural growth. The art
work Is most attractive and rivets the
attention of the visitor to the last. Miss
Lena and Eva Rhea and Miss Effie
Wakefield seem to be natural-born ar
tists. The Misses Rhea excel on ani
mal life. The picture of "Pharaoh's
Horses' is almost animate. A crayon
drawing of a brother is also remarkably,
life like. Of Miss Wakefield's pen
drawings, the salmon is perhaps the
best. . . '
There are also papers on musical com
position. The best in thorough bass are
by Misses Ada Smith and Katie Brogan
who are eaeh marked 100 per cent.
Numerous oil paintings are shown,
which have been executed by the pupils.
Ther cactus, 'by "- a .girl of 14 years, is
worthy of a master. Instructions in
fancy work is also shown by the display
of artificial flowers, crocheting and fancy
sewing which numerously abound. The
morning glories are very naturally done,
as are also the bouquets of roses in
vases. . .

. Crime or an Indian.
An Indian stole $25 from Mr. W. N.
West, the butcher at Hood River, yes
terday morning. Mr. West laid bis
money sack, a leather one, containing
$25 in gold on bis meat block. He for
got it for a few moments and left the
shop, when it was taken by the Indian.
The siwash went immediately to camp,
where he was followed by Officer Olinger.
The sack was found on his person, as
well as the money, which was tied in tbe
corner of a handkerchief. He was very
much ashamed of himself upon being
apprehended. Indians seldom steal and
tbe temptation in his case must have
been great. If be had been a practiced
villain he would have thrown away the
purse. Mr. Olinger brought him' to The
Dalles on the local yesterday, and he
was tried this morning before Justice
uavis. . '
' Tlstted Mill Creek Falls.
Messrs. F. H. Van Norden and Archie
McCully took aV trip np Mill creek yes
terday. They saw that rare sight, Mill
creek falls, which juls for B considera
ble expenditure oVffort, for much of
tbe distance must be covered on foot,
and the trip is arduous. These falls are
therefore rarely visited. The young
men had their, hooks and .lines along,
and they soon caught a large mess of
trout. They were, of large size, for sel
dom being molested, they are not wary.
The only disagreeable feature is the
spray, which soon wets the fisherman
through H he is unprepared for it.
While coming home Mr. Van Norden
lost control of his bicycle on a steep
down grade; It has no brake, and the
pedals were soon revolving too fast to
admit of setting his feet in them. The
grade was a long one, and faster -and
faster went the wheel. He soon went
out of sight of his companion, who was
much perplexed at the sight. Mr. Van
Norden says be never traveled so fast
on a railroad train, and believes ha was
going a mile a minute. He checked his
speed only when' the road changed to
an up grade, the impetus gained by the
long down ride being sufficient to carry
him to the top of a rather steep ascent
200 feet in length. It was a perilous
ride, and had he met a team he might
bave been killed.
