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

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

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.

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-

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. .
