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

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

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.

Reports from a number of the moat
rominent hopgrowera of Lane county
e to the effect that most ot the hop
Uice have rveen destroyed, and there is
put littld danger of them doing any in
jury to the hop crop. 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.

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 baa been a contract for a monthly

Aug. 4. We passed the most beauti
ful scenery last night that I have ever
seen. 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.
