words to say about the hospitality of
The Dalles.' We are glad they enjoyed
themselves and trust they will come
again. The latch string hangs always
out.
The hea7y rain of laBt night cooled off
the atmosphere and further aided in
making s bountiful harvest. The
amount ofjwheat which will be shipped
from this section next fall will surprise
the oldest inhabitant.
By existing arrangements with the
publishers of the Weekly Oregonian, we
are enabled to club that excellent paper
with the Twice-a-Week Chronicle at
tbe low rate of $2.25 per year. Now is
the time to send in your names.
While people in The Dalles felt the
heat yesterday somewhat oppressive, it
was nothing compared to what was en
dured' throughout ' the East. Six per
sons died from the excessive heat in
Chicago alone, and the hot wave covered
a large area. When it comes to climate,
Oregon leads tbe world.

For Friday
were not for the immense foreign impor
tations the price would be still larger,
but as it is, there is everything to hope
that the hard times for wool raisers in
this section are over, and that they will
begin to receive a decent return for their
labor and products.
Mr. J. W. Talbot, who for several
years had charge of the steward's de
partment on the Dalles City, has re

among the traveling public, who are
loth to see him leave the route, but who
wish him success in his new position.
Tbe scene at the departure of the
Dalles City this morning was quite ani
mated. A large number of Sunday
school delegates were on board and many
of their friends were at the dock to bid
them good-bye. Besides, the steamer

Enameled
Ware.
Mixed Blue and White out
side and White inside.
"The Delft" is the latest
ware out in cooking utensils.
Prices are about the same as
granite ware, and a great deal
cheaper than the aluminum
wan,, and prettier than either
of them. Call and see the
crrrt a at
MAIER & BENTON'S
167 Second Street.
It was very helpiul, as Mr. Billings is
an accomplished normal teacher, being
the state superintendent of normal work.
This was followed by a normal lesson,
with blackboard illustration, entitled
"Marks of a Good School," by J. K.
Groom. This was the only normal
lesson of the session, and was right
along tbe line of the practical work il
lustrated by the model Sunday school of
the morning.
Rev. B. J. Kelly followed with a most
practical talk on "After the Lesson and
Between Sundays What?" and "The
Preparation of tbe Lesson," by A. N.
Barnard, was of the same line of thought.
"Gathering Up the Fragments," by
Wm. WadLams, ended the afternoon
session.
Mr. Wadbams declared that he could
not serve as president, and with thanks
resigned. Rev. C. C. Poling of Portland
was elected in his place.
The finance committee recommended
that an apportionment of two cents a
year for each member eurolled be asked
from each school throughout tbe state.
This fund to be for association work.
Report of resolution committee was as
follows :
Resolved, That a vole of thanks be
tendered, first, to the pastor and mem
bers of tbe M. E. church of The Dalles
for kindly giving their beautiful and
well-appointed church for the use of the

Second, To the citizens of The Dalles
for the hearty welcome extended to tbe
members of tbe convention, and their
generous hospitality in entertaining us;
Third, To the papers of the town for
kindly and accurately reporting the pro

Fourth, To the O. R. it N. and D. P. &
A. N. Companies for granting the reduc

Fifth, To the various speakers who

and helpful addresses ;
Sixth, To Mr. Wm. Wadhams, who
led the singing; the ladies who per
formed on the organ, and all others who
took part in the proceedings, for their
efficient and highly appreciated services.
Seventh, To the retiring officers, to
whose faithfulness in the discharge of
their dutieB tbe efficiency and success of
the association are in great measure due.
WEDNESDAX EVENING.
In the evening a large crowd was
present to hear tbe address of Rev. A.
W. Ackerman of Portland on "The Au
thenticity of tbe Bible." Mr. Acker
man is a very polished speaker and is
among those whom the people of Tbe
Dalles will count themselves fortunate
to have beard.
The service was opened with an an
them by the Methodist church choir,
"Praise the Father," and after tbe ad
dress the closing business was transacted.
