The following telegram was received
this morning, addressed to T.A. Hudson
That gentleman being in Portland, the
telegram was forwarded :
Ontario, Or., Julv 21. 1896.
Mr. T. A. Hudson :
j a. Martin died here last night.
Please advise what disposition I shall
make of body. E. H. Test.
The news was an entire surprise to
everyone in The Dalles, as no intimation
of sickness had been received by any of
his acquaintances here.
Mr. Martin was quite well known in
The Dalles, where he has epent several
years of his life. He was one of the
heirs to the original estate which merged
into the Eastern Oregon Land Co., re
ceiving bis share several years ago,
which be lost in business at Portland.
His father was a successful business
man of San Francisco. For several,
years the deceased managed the affairs
of the Eastern Oregon Land Co., and
later became deputy county clerk under
Mr. J. B. Crossen. At the end of the
term in 1894, Mr. Martin received the)
nomination for clerk on the Democratic
ticket, but was defeated bvkKeleay,

won for him fpiehds onevery hand, an
his loss BfttTbe generally deplored.
The hose team now practices nightly,
in anticipation of participating in the
hose tournament, which takes place at
Astoria next month. The boys experi-
nce more difficulty in practicing than
formerly, on account of there being no
lights on the streets and several of the
team work in the stores so late that it is
almost dark when they get out.
There is now scarcely a doubt that the
team will proceed to Astoria. The boys
do not desire to go unless they can win,
and they say that if they go they will
win. unless professionals are allowed to
run in the other teams.
The time made by The Dalles hose
team last season at Vancouver was only
one and one-fifth seconds less than the
record of the United States tournament,
which was won in Georgia in 55 seconds,
for which was awarded a government
belt. .The Dalles team, composed en
tirely of amateurs, made the eatne dis
tance in 59 and one-fifth seconds. In
this race Astoria made the time in 57,
Vancouver in 59 and Oregon City in 63
seconds.
The following young men comprise
the team : Roger Sinnott, Nick Sinnott,
Chas. Cooper, Arthur Clark, Hunter,
Lewis Porter, Bob Teague, Henry Bills,
Sherman Frank, J. Maloney, Ralph
Gibons and Wm. Norman. They will
leave about trie 20th of August for Astoria.

Dufur, Or., July 0. 1896.
To tlie Commanders, Officers and Members
of Dufur Camp, No. S15, Dufur, Or.:
Dear Sirs : I desire to express my
appreciation and thanks for the many
kindnesses received at your hands during
my sad affliction in the deathof my be
loved husband, John F. Easton, and
also my appreciation of the promptness
with which his benefit certificate was
paid.
The Woodmen of Dufur camp did all
in their power to smooth the pillows of
death as well as to comfort the bereft
ones left behind and the kindly care
during the hours of sorrow did much to
brighten the dark path' before me and
will never be forgotten. Very sincerely,
Mrs. Elizabeth Easton.
Reports from Pendleton and Walla
Walla show that the damage to wheat
from the hot wave is greater than was
supposed.
From interviews with farmers, grain
dealers, parties who advance money on
growing crops and from information
gathered from exchanges , and other
sources , the East Oregonian estimates
that the damage has amounted on an
average throughout the country to a re
duction in the total yield oi irom one-
A Boy Killed.
About 6 o'clock Sunday morning the
8-year-old son of Joseph Freeman ihet
a violent and sudden death at Pendle
ton. The boy had been sent oat to
tether a calf, and while so engaged his
foot became entangled in the rope, one
end of which was tied around the ani
mal's neck. The calf started to run,
dragging the boy into a wire fence. He
was terribly cat and mangled, and died
before a physician could be summoned.
The funeral took place from Mr. Free
man's home, about five miles east of
Milton. East Oregonian.

Editor Chronicle :
Lee Hunter leaves today for Los An

Mrs. Ben Miller and eon arrived on
No. 8 from Portland on Saturday, on a
visit to her father, Mr. H. A. Baker.
The O. R. & N. Co. are constructing a
new water tank here, Mr. Cook and his
gang doing the work.
It never gets too warm for Mosierites
to "trip the light fantastic." It was at
tested by the large attendance at Charlie
Cramer's platform dance on Saturday
evening.
The people of Mosier have had an op
portunity the last week of doing a kind
and Christian act in signing the petition
which Mr. L. C. Baker has been circulat
ing for his appointment as postmaster at
this place. Those who wish to live up
to that golden rule, and who are ac
qnainted with Mr. Baker and his cheer
ful, but afflicted wife, and know the diffi
culties under which he has had to labor,
are more than pleased at the opportunity
afforded, in helping him to secure a posi
tion which will help support him and
allow him to be at hand to wait on bis
helpless wife. It is gratifying that there
are so few who are not inclined to help
Mr.Baker out in his endeavor to help
himself. 'Novcs Homo.
