A movement is on foot at present
among the young men of this city who
take an interest in wheeliug, to have a
bicycle club organized in the near future.
Such clubs are found in other cities and
there is no reason why one could not be
organized here It would cause an in

and have mane pleasant features. We
heartily approve of the measure.
A farmer and his family passed
through Albany Monday afternoon in
the old way on their way somewhere
from California, anything to get out of
that state, which he gave a very black
eye. He said the fruit crop was entirely
ruined by the frosts, being worse than
has generally reported, and that there
could be no wheat crop practically at all.
He had had all he wanted of the golden
state.
After next Monda?, May 2d, the ordi

they will be set at liberty. Owners of
cowd should take heed that the ordi

no cauBe to find fault.
Eleven students of the agricultural
college left on Wednesday morning's boat
to join the corapnay of Captain Ralph
Terrell, now recruiting in Salem. The
college men are all bld scool mates of
Captain Terrell, who was erututed from
the agricultural college last June. Each
has seen from one to three years' drill
service, aud all are fitted for,any position
in a military company. H. L. McAllis
ter, the well known foot-ball-player, and
Ed Lance, left last night to jain company
B in Portland.
The most exciting occurrence 'yester
day was a dog-fight that took place in
the evening a Geo. Rush's corner. Dr.
Shackelford's pointer and a large canine
belonging to Ben Eben, between which
bad blood aeeiua to have existed for some
time, decided to settle the matter then
anil there. The Eben dog did the prin
cipal part of the fighting, while the one
belonging to Dr. Shackelford, did suf
ficient howling for both. A crowd soon
gathered and it was with difficulty that
the owners succeed in separating the
arguing brutes.
Pereons who came up on the boat last
evening stated that It" was repotted tt
Hood River and other to-vns along the
river that a number of The Dalles mili
tia were not to be found, but were in
hiding for fear that they would have to
go to war. This is us fa se a report as
has ever been started, as Adjutant
Riddell informs us that nono are really
compelled to go; bnt, in spite of that
fact, as soon as the chII enme tlx! boys
of Co. G flocked to the ranks gladly
and are at present impatiently waiting
the time to leave.
An effort is being tnnrie to secure a
summer mall service across the Cascade
mouotalns by way of the MnKanzle
route, v A petition to the postoifice de
partment asking that the route be es
tablished far six months out of the year
between Belkntp Springs in Lanccounty
and Sisters in Crook nnuntjjQ! the service
begin July 1st each year and continue
until December let, ha? been prepared.
The distance from Belknap' Springs to
Sisters is about thirty miles. It is ex
pected that if the new rout! Is estab
lished a stae lino will be put on, tin-. -f
making through mail and stage service
from Eugene to Sisters, a distance of
about one hundred miles. .It is said that
Crook country people are anxious for the
service.
Mr. J. W. Coovert, chief enginer of
the P. V. & Y. railroad, came up the
river recently with a surveying party on
the Sarah Dixon. He come as far as
White Salmon, from which place he
strikes north and reached the summit
of the railroad survey as it is now located.
He expects to put on two crews and
work both ways from that point. The
soil, coal prospects, mineral belts and
stone ledges along the route will all be
thoroughly examined, and an exhaustive
report made on them to headqutaters of
The company when work is completed.
The party was well supplied with all
the tools needed for the work, but ex
pected to met their fpod supplies, pack
horses, etc., at White Salmon or Trout
Lake. Mr. Coovert's report will be of
special interest to the people of Ska
mania county, as it will publish to the
world our resources of timber, coal, gold,
sliver and copper mining, building stone,
farming and grazing and whatever other
enterprise can be engaged in with profit,
that will make business for a railroad.
There is a new disappointment in
store for some of the patriotic young
men, not yet attining their majority,
who are anxious to enlist and fight
Spaniards, says the Oregonian. Capt.
H. F. Kendall, lately assigned on duty
with the Oregon Militia, will muster the
regiment raised by Governor Lord as
Oregon's quota of the call for yolunteers.
Captain Kendall has received no official
notification! of bis appointment, but
there are a large number of mothers and
sisters who take the published announc
ment as correct. He has received nu
merous letters from this eource request
ing him not to accept as volunteers their
sons and brothers, as they were not of
age, aud their families did not want the
boys to go. Under army regulations no
one can be accepted as a recruit under
21 years of age without the written con
sent of their parents, and with the for
mal protest now filed withhim, Captain
Kendall will have to turn down more
than one enthusiastic youth who has en
listed and thinks he will soon be on his
wav to Cuba.

the officers were kept busy getting the
men out with necessary equipments,
and throughout the day hundreds of
visitors thronged around to watch the

1 Fifteen enlistments to Co. C of Pen

eighteen new names nave been added to
Co. G during Wednesday and Thursday.
An application was received from D.
Q. Allard, nf Boyd, asking that a placo

til he arrived tonight.
The detachment of the hospital corps
ot Hood River, consisting of seventeen
men, are ready and will join Co. G Sat
urday morning on their way to Portland.
The action of the Commercial Club in
providing for the troops while here is
certainly a commendable one. No pro
vision having been made by tho state
for them, the officers found themselves
at a loss to know how to provide for
them until Saturday. Tne board of di

see that the boys are kept at the ex

A recent issue of the Oregonian says:
' "Tim Murphy in 'Old Innocence' last

of the best character studies that has
been seen in Portland for many a night.
The comedy revolves nbout the figure of
an old matifWell-to-do and prosperous,
yet not rich, for ho steadily refuses to
make profit out of other people's suffer

is the portrayal of this ingenious, simple-hearted
old man, who finally, after
being directed to a tenement house in
the slums, where he was to climb n lad

blind pauper, with a paralyzed wife and
seven starving children, discovers in
