From Lieut. Bartell we learn that
fifteen have volunteered from The Dalles
to recruit the ranks of Co. L, the appor

malting the arrival of the examining

Lieut. Bartell will be given twenty-four i

that all will be in readiness. j

Tho program for this year is, if possible,
better than ever, the best of instructors j
and speakers having been engaged.
The weather bureau report says :
Comparatively cool 'weather continues
over the Columbia river basin. The I
cool weather will check the melting of
the enow and the water now started will
to a certain extent, run off before any )
further warm weather can occur and
start the snow to melting again. The
height of -'0.7 feet, registered at Port
land yesterday morning, marks the
maximum height of the high water this
year. The river will remuln nearly sta
tionary or fall slightly for the next eev
eral days. From Friday tho fall will
become moro marked. There is abeo-'
lutely no danger of a further material
rise this year.

At 8 o'clock last evening, as tho cow
htrder. was bringing in thodrove, ono
of the cows become frightened just as
they reached Crowe's 6tore, and darted
like a flash through tlie glass door of tho
agricultural department. Seeing Fletch
Faulkner in the act of selling Lem Bur
gess one of their famous Jones mowers,
she became more frightened than ever,
and turniiii; around, tore up Second
street as if she had been shot, doing no
more damage, however, than had al
ready been accomplished.
The portico of the club rooms has
found that its dress of pure white is sus
ceptible to every spot of dust and dirt
with which it comes in contact. Con
sequently the painters were busy yes
terday giving it another coat, which
adds greatly to its appearance. This
has been a favorite resort for the club
members during tho warm weather, and
at any hour in the evening a number of
feet may be seen peeping oter the rail
ing, w bile their owners are enjoying the
ustomary cigar.
Recent rains, while being a bless
ing in more ways than one, have proven
somewhat of a detriment to the straw

the appearance of being perfect, the
damage done is noticeable when they
reach their destination after they are
shipped. Mr. Kurtz, of the Pacific Ex

place they are bruised and it is difficult
to dispose oQliRinS At that time they

The Fourth of July committee has
sent invitations to all the interior towns
to join us in celebrating, and no doubt
the city will be well filled with visitors
on that occasion. It becomes the duty,
then, of every citizen, not only to make
the best of the day themselves, but to
see that not a Btone is left unturned to
help others to enjoy themselves. The
committees are doing their part, but
they need the support and co-operation
of everyone. Let us show that not only
those who have left us to fight for our
country are patriotic, but that we who
are left are filled with love of country,
and appreciate our freedom, eo dearly
bought in former years.
Saturday a party from Hood River,
consisting of Mrs. E. Rand, Miss Bart
lett, of Eau Claire, Wis., Miss Marden
of this city, and Will Langille, made the
trip to Cloud Cap Inn, on Mt. Hood.
Mr. Langille opened the inn for the first
time this year, and the party report
having one of the most pleasant times
imaginable, in spite of the fact thit they
were subjected to all sorts of weather,
Sunday being treated to a genuine snow
storm. However, when the clouds dis
persed the view of the mountain and
surrounding country was beyond de
scription. The inn will be opened for
the season about the first of July, and
for grandness of scenery and an ideal
summer resort Cloud Cap cannot be ex
celled, we care not whither the tourist
may resort.
Indium, vs. K minks.
The Indian camp at the foot of Wash
ington street and its occupants have
been the center ot attraction to kodak
fiends, and others aa well, since their
arrival. Indeed, they are a study not
in scarlet only, but "salmon" us well.
The wood which lias been piled up at
that placo to avoid tho high water,
serves as walls for their abodes, while
tho roofs are made of canvas. The
draperies and purtieras of these artistic
huts aro rate specimens of aborigi
nal luxury, while the furniture, too.is
rare.
"Lo" these many days has been fairly
,,urt.Ued and spoiled (if that be possible,
by artists eager to snap them; hut he is
too cute to allow himself to bo "taken,"
unless he sees tho ''chickamun" befori-
hand, for long ago he learned that there
is money in it.
Last evening a party of tourists came
up on the evening train, and what was
their delight to discover, just a block or
two from their hotel, was some real live
Indians. Accordingly they loaded their
kodaks aud sallied forth to shoot
ehvashea. The aforesaid siwashes are
wary and avoided them ; but in spite of
their protests, eeveral snap shots were
taken. However, if tho tourists could
have understood Jargon, they would
have been aware they, too, had been
"snapped.

LIFE IN CAMP AT FLORIDA.
A Former Datlr liny In ttii Flr.t U.
Cnvnlry Tell. III. Experience.
Lakki.asd, Florida, Juno 0, 1803.
EniToii Cnuoxtct.K :
Please let a recent Dallea boy occupy
a little of your valuable space In ordet to -present
his compliments to his friends i
at home, and tell them a low things j
about the beauties of camp lifo among j
the Florida pines while awaiting orders I
to sail for Cuba.
Tho beauty of this camp ground is ,
clearly demonstrated by thu fact that it
requires thu assistances of yot r
"bunky," armed with a spado, to dig
you out of the sand which has burled I
you in your tent during the night. It
is a common thing to hear a first sir- I
geant say, when any of the men are re
ported absent at reveille, "Say, Jones,
take a spade and go and dig for that man
in No. 3 squad." The natives hero told
n.e that during the last storm everything
got scared and ran away, and the only
thing that had sand enough to stay was
the bench.
Hwo alligators came into our tent last
night, presumably for .i meal, but were
discovered just in time to prevent lunch
ing on Pat RUey of No. 1 squad. After
some trouble we succeeded in capturing
them and are now breaking them to use
in the quartermaster's department to
haul supplies.
Another animal which I never heard
of before, and which the natives call the
Cyclopsis, Uvea here and is a veritable
fright. I c.tnnot describe him, for I did'
not take time to take a second look at
him, as I retreated in great disorder and
fairly burnt the wind on my way back
to camp. The boys are out looking for
him, and if they succeed in his capture,
they will use htm to carry ammunition,
as we are shy of pack mules. We had
eighteen to burn after we left Ft. Sher
idan. Bananas grow aloncside of our tonts,
and all we have to do is to reach out and
grab a bunch of them (nit).
Tho only thing that causes us worry is
the snakes, for they have a tendency to
turn in and bunk with us. I woke up
one night to find one around my neck,
with hia head resting on my ear for a
pillow. I yelled like a Comanche In
dian, and my bunky woke up and saved
me. We have used the snake skin to
make belts of.
I am commencing to find out the dif
ference between campaigning and living
in The Dalles, but we are not grumbling,
only wishing to be given a chance to pay
our respects to General Blanco across
the way, and impatient' to be up and do
ing. Will tell how we captured Ha
vana in my next letter.

The beautiful propeller, Inland Flyer,
which Joseph Supple is building for The
Dalles run, is nearing completion and
will be ready for launching in about
three weeks. Tho engines for the boat
arrived yesterday and will, bo installed
as soon as possible. They are of the
triple compound pattern, the low-pressure
cylinders being divided into two
parts, and will develop 050 horse power,
which insures the speed of the boat.
The cabin and interior of the craft are
especially fine, all the casings and
moldings being of mahogany. She is in
tended only for the passenger business,
and will be fitted with every conven
ience that the shipbuilder's art can sup
ply. In another part of the yard, near the
east approach of tho Morrison-street
bridge, is the old steamer Dallea City,
and beEide her is the brand new hull
