The average man would have to go into training before he woud be able to put np even a strong blaff at loving certain women. Some hard-hearted wretch took ad vantage of Simmonds being confined in the county jail to burglarize his house last night, taking a sack of sugar, blank eta and other things. Simmonds ia out with the sheriff this morning trying to get track of the thief. Portland is to send a steamer to run on the Yukon. It is the Eugene, which will be towed to the mouth of the Yu kon, leaving Seattle August 22d. She draws only 2 feet of water loaded with 400 tons of freight, and expects to reach Dawson City by September 10th. Mrs. Mary. Brittain and her bro Mr. Henry Bills, came up from Mosier, where they have been camping, last night, having been sent for on account of the fire of Wednesday. Mrs. Brit tain friends will be glad to learn that her household goods were insured for $1000. At the meeting of the executive com mittee last night it was determined to go ahead with the tournament and the collecting committee started out again this morning. Our business men and property owners should remember that their fire department is not paid, and that a liberal response to the call for tournament funds, is after all but a small return for services rendered. The ladies of St. Peters church will give a moonlight excursion on the steamer Regulator next Saturday even ing, leaving here at 9 p. m. and return ing at 12. The profits arising from this excursion will go into the fund for the new church, and being a worthy cause, should be liberally patronized by the people of The Dalles. Music for the ex cursion will be furnished by the band. Tickets 50 cents. The residence of Mr. Ohrt, two miles 'om Tangent, was burned to the ground onday. The published account of the ffair states that at the time "Mr. Ohrt was in the field, Mrs. Ohrt was lying on the lounge and the daughter was at work." This should be a warning to girls not to go working about the house while their mothers loaf on the lounge. It is the only case on record of the kind and the house burned down. F. H. VanNorden this morning re ceived from his father, who is at the seaside, a full grown specimen of a "Stingarec" which he has displayed in the window of his jewelry store. It is all head but its stinger, or to be exact all stinger except its head. - Looking at that horn-like stinger one can easily be lieve that if it was jammed into his sys tem hia first impression would be that be had been stabbed, with a marlin spike. Portland is disposed to find fault with Seattle because the latter 'has outfitted sis men for the Yukon to her' one. If she only knew it, Portland is fast losing a trade more profitable than that of the Klondike. Seattle is selling goods in large quantities in the Willamette val ley, even as tar south aa Ashland, and the trade of Eastern Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho is being absorbed by these same Seattle rustlers. They are under selling and out-generalling Portland at every turn, and unless our metropolis gets a move on, the grass will grow on Front street. A couple of Englishmen, who came over from Canada recently hired the mon Ja 0 this ri trn ut ana Ved ear hunter, hounds, and morning, south of here. for bear.

Spraying has been resorted to in nearly all yards un der cultivation this years, and many growers have gone through the spraying process thoroughly three times, and nearly every yard has been sprayed twice. The prospects now are for a good crop and a good price. It has been claimed by bird fanciers that a China pheasant and a domestic hen would not cross. This theory, has been knocked in the head by John Kerns of Philomath. Many months ago he secured a China pheasant cock and a couple of bantam bene and placed them in an enclosure to themselves. In due season his patience was rewarded with a setting of eggs. Of this setting only one egg batched, and it brought forth rather a queer looking little rooster. It is now six weeks or two monthB old and is aB lively and strong aa possible. China pheasants and domestic chickens can be successfully crossed. This fact was proven in this city last year by Dr. J. C. Gray, whose fowls while running at large cohabited with China pheasants and produced a handsome pair of hy brids. Corvallis Times. SMILES. Edrte-Jiat is a most ridiculous blunder you uiatre?

"Yon have all sorts of pie, I see by a sign in the window," said the facetious customers, as he went into a bakery and addressed one of the young women who stood behind the counter. "Yes, sir.

Editor Chronicle : Our voyage so far haa been exception ally pleasant, excepting on the bar we had no rough water. I did not get sick until we had been out about three hours and I was not sick then when I kept still, but when I ate some breakfast I concluded the fish had not had any, so I cheerfully gave it up to them. One old fish winked at me and told me to eat another breakfast. We rounded Cape Flattery at 8 o'clock in the evening, and were only on the deep sea twelve hours. It was per fectly calm all day. The straits and channels we are in now, and will be in the rest of the way, are as smooth as the Columbia river. The gulf of Georgia is aa smooth as a mirror. We have been amusing ourselves all day watching the whales, which appear by the hundred. The scenery is beautiful, only excelled by that of the Columbia between The Dalles and Portland. Aug. 3 There waa nothing of im portant Interest today. The weather is delightful. There are three ladies on board who are going to Klondike. The trip down the Yukon is not dangerous.

There were numerous glaciers, which seemingly reached the clouds. Aug. 5. We expect to arrive at Juneau tbia evening. In this latitude it does not get dark until 10 o'clock and gets light at 3. We have passed hun dreds of icebergs this afternoon, and the country in general looks as if winter is coming. Juneau, Aug. 5. We landed here at 10 o'clock at night and it ia light enough to read by daylight. Tomorrow we will spend most of the day here. This place is about the size of The Dalles and is very picturesque. We expect a great jam in getting over Cbilcot paes, as .there are about 3000 people waiting to get through, but we will make it all right. We are going to visit the largest gold mine in the world in the morning. John Parrott. Mrs. Goner Dead. Mra. Christina Gosser died in this city this morning.
