PEASE O The Dalles Daily Chronicle. FRIDAY. JULY 2. 1897 WAYSIDE GLEANINGS. Random ODserrationB and Local ETenta of Lesser Magnitude. County court meets Monday and com. missionera' court the Wednesday follow ing. The morning train was an hour late this morning, caused by a cloud burst near North Powder. A number of wool buyers came down from Baker City and Pendleton this morning, and the wool market ought to boom. Taxes are coming in quite lively, every body being anxious to keep off the de linquent list. About $4000 have been collected within the past two days. Owing to the business bouses closing Saturday, and to the further fact that Monday is a legal holiday, the banks in the city will be closed until Tuesday. The bowling alleys are not in it with the cocked hats Pease & Mays have topped the youngsters out with. They are gaudy and great assistants to sun burn ; but Young America on the 4th of July doesn't care for expenses or looks. From the way the wind blew today, we judge the weather clerk is just prac ticing for tomorrow. He would nat urally suppose The Dalles would cele brate, but be got fooled on that propo sition just the same, Mr. Fred W. Wilson leaves in the morning for Prinevile, where be will de liver the address at the celebration on the 5tb. It is a long, bard ride, but we can tell our Crook county friends that they will bear one of the best addresses ever made on a like occasion, and tbey can afford to ride as far to bear as Mr. Wilson to speak. The method in which the medal is to be won by the ladies at the Commercial Club bowling alley has been changed, and the lady who gets the bigheBt aver age in fifteen games, which are played in a month, wins the medal for that month, and after winning it three times it becomes her property. Miss Myrtle Michell, who had an average of 29 last month, is now wearing it. The McKenzie wagon road across the Cascade mountains is now free from snow and in good condition tor travel. About twenty citizens of the upper Mc Kenzie have been working on It for the paBt two weeks. Already considerable travel has passed over the thoroughfare this spring, Included three heavily load ed freight wagons from Eugene. Be side several thousand head of cattle have been driven across the mountains on this road. The Cheonicle editor, who had been on a trip to the Greenhorn section (a proper place for him) arrived home this morning, and is utterly lost trying to pick np the threads of the newspaper fabric, and again go to weaving them into filling for the columns. And be de sires publicly to express bis gratitude to Mr. Fred Wilson, who made The Chron SUMMER KNIT UNDERWEAR, MUSLIN UNDERWEAR, LACES. DISCOUNT OF 25 PER CENT. For Friday O icle so readable during said editor's trip to said Greenhorn section as afore said, or words to that effect. Charley Knust, a boy 15 years old, saved a 4-year-old girl from drowning in Lake Union, near Seattle, Monday. The little girl was playing near the edge of a wharf, and accidentally fell overboard. Two men were standing near and each grabbed a long pole and began fishing around in the water, trying to get the child to take bold and bang on until pulled np to the wharf. This did not work, and young Knust, who was a block away, after having just donned his clothes from a swim in the lake, ran to the spot and dived into the water. He grabbed the sinking child and land ed her safelv. The business houses will all close to morrow, and everybody and everybody else will bie himself or herself, or both together, to some place outside of the corporate limits to celebrate the 4th. Dufur oilers many attractions, for Dufur is always enjoyable, but the soldier boys, with the jaunty Baits and brass buttons, mixed and mingled with the cheap trans portation gives Hood River the advant age over all other points. Some will picnic, some fish, some celebrate, but whichever you do, gentle reader. The Chronicle sincerely hopes that one and all may have a day that can always be marked with a white stone. A Fearful Storm. Althongh the recent storms were worth, in the water downpour, thous ands of dollars to the great regions trib utary to Baker City, considerable dam age to crops and orchards also resulted. On Friday, near Burnt river, the hail was like a flood of bullets. The fine orchard and hay field of M. J. Hindman was injured to the estimated extent of fully $1000. In the vicinity of Haines a barn was shattered by lightning and a valuable horse killed. In the town of Haines, a telegraph pole was struck by the fiery electric fluid. In Pine valley, one of these heaven's thunderbolts knocked a leading farmer down, injuring him badly, and killed bis dog, which was by his side. Near Westfall, thirty miles from Vale, Malheur county, Perry Keleey was struck and killed by lightning. La Grande Chronicle. Snrprlse to Mr. and Mrs. Grey. The ladies of the Lutheran church gave Airs. L. Grey a very pleasant sur prise last evening, the occasion being her birthday. She was presented with a very handsome present in behalf of the society. Refreshments were served during the evening, and as everything was done to make it a success, all bad a good time. Wishing Mrs. Gray many happy birthdays they departed, each one realizing that they had spent a very pleasant evening. Those present beside Rev. and Mrs. Grey, were : Mrs. Prinz, Mrs. Stnbling, Mrs. Giest, H. Giest, Mrs. Weigel, G. Weigel, Mrs. Melquist, Misses A. Stnb ling and J. Nickelsen, G. D. Horn. o Only. & MAYS t PROF. GATCH ELECTED. Cnosen President of trie Agricultural College. At a meeting at Corvallis Wednesday afternoon of the board of regents, Pro fessor Thomas M. Gatch, late of the state university of Washington, was elected president of the Agricultural col lege and director of the experiment sta tion. He was not an applicant for the place. He was chosen on the fifth bal lot by a vote of six to five over H. B. Miller, the present incumbent. Tbe Oregonian has the following kindly notice of him : "Professor T. M. Gatch is one of the best-known educators in the Northwest. He was for many years president of Willamette university in Salem, when that institution was the most prominent of the colleges on the North Pacific coast. After the state university was lo cated at Eugene, be accepted a professor ship there, and filled it for several years. He was afterwards elected president of tbe Bine Mountain academy, at The Dalles, and about 10 years since went to Seattle to be president of the state uni versity, succeeding L. J. Powell, who had died, and who, like Professor Gatch, had been a very prominent educator of Oregon. Two years since, President Gatch gave way to President Harring ton, and then was made president of the state normal school, at Ellensburg. He was again elected to a professorship in the state university, which he filled till recently, when he was removed by the new Populist board, of regents for po litical reasons. "Professor Gatcb is personally known to more students probably than any other instructor in Oregon or Washing ton. He is very popular with all of them. He is the father of Claud Gatch, ex-mayor of Salem." Many Fine Collections. The Cheonicle has more than once expressed its conviction that Tbe Dalles (situated as it is at one of the great gathering places of the Indian tribes of tbe Northwest) should have a collection of Indian iktahs, which should be rep resentative of the art and work of the past and passing Indian civilization. It is not long ago that Mr. Kinersly, much to our regret, parted with a collec lection valued by eastern parties at over half a thousand dollars. Every passing year brings stronger emphasis to the fact of the high esteem in which these iktahs are held in other parts of tbe country, by individuals and Institutions, and also of the increasing difficulty of getting good specimens. Besides the arrowheads, mortars, pes tles, etc., which may be found here and there throughout the town, there are two collections which have assumed pro portions qnite worthy of the name those of Dr. Sutherland and Rev. Cur tis. The former gentleman baa a col lection of six or seven thousand. The doctor started out with the purpose of making a collection of beautiful points, and succeeded so well that we donbt if, taking the word beautiful as a descrip- Knameled 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 war, and prettier than either of them. Call and see the goods at MAIER& BENTON'S 167 Second Street. tion, there is any collection in Oregon or Washington that can surpass It. From tbe love of the beautiful, he came slowly to a desire for types, of which be has a large variety. Mr. Curtis, we nnderetand, started in the same way, at first thinking only to get certain beautiful specimens, of which he has sent many East to appre ciative friends. He too came to care for types, and has secured some rare things, which have been much coveted by col lectors. His collection numbers between three and four thousand. Besides these things in stone, much interest has of late sprung np in the the matter of Indian basketry, of which there are notable collections not only in California, but in Portland and other places in Oregon. What is called the basket fad or craze, has taken a good many people. The fad will pass, but tbe subject is worthy of permanent in terest. Interest will increase with knowledge and with the passing of the basket makers, which is only a matter of a short time. We have no considerable collection In The Dalles, though we certainly have some very interesting specimens ; a combination of ' these would be a surprise and an instruction to onr people. Miss Anna Lang has a fine nucleus, a hundred or more beautiful and curious specimens gathered from this imme diate locality, representatives of the work of the Waeco, Klickitat and other neighboring tribes, as well as specimens gathered from Alaska and Mexico, and the places intervening. Mr. Curtis has a collection of fifty or more baskets and bags, mainly the work of the tribes centering about The Dalles, though he possesses a few treasures from afar. Mrs. Hal French has a small, but very choice collection of ' baskets gathered from this region. One very noticeable thing is the absence of duplicated in de sign. Mr. Curtis has but one or two duplicates of those in the possession of Miss Lang, nor does the collection of Mrs. French duplicate either of the others in design. The same may be said of some two dozen baskets and bags owned by Mr. Kinersly. The only other baskets of interest which we re member to have seen, are two owned by Mrs. Peters and one by Mrs. Bran son, all of a design that is not dupli cated in the collections spoken of. Small as these collections are, we men tion them with satisfaction as a part of onr city's interest in these things, and hope that tbey may grow until their di mensions and the variety of tbe weave and pattern shall at least fairly repre sent the work of the Indians of this lo cality. .
