Oa Sunday, August 7th, the Beventh
grand excursion from The 'Dalles to
Hood River, Cascade Locke, Bonneville
and Multnomah Falls will be held.
Fare for the round trip 50 cents. This
excursion offers a rare opportunity for a
Sunday outing at any of those points.
! The . new Dalles City will be up to-
night, this being her -first trip since the
new hull was put under her. The boat
I will be in command of Captain Short,
1 the man who brought her out for the
1 first time after she was constructed.
He is thoroughly acquainted with the
Vjolumbla, and a better and more care
nil pilot cannot be found.
There is some nneasiness here con
cerning the whereabouts of Charles
Carter, of Caleb. He came bere on
July 24th, put his wagon and team up
at the Columbia feed yard, and since
then has not been seen. L. S. Davis,
manager of the feed yard, learned that
Carter went to Portland, but since then
no word has been received from him

The hay season in Grant county has
just about closed, and farmers generally
report the best yield in years. The
Keeney brothers and C. H. Lee, three
leading stockmen and farmers near
Long Creek, employed large crews end
paid good wages. The increase in the
yield of their land, it is believed, makes
it easy to winter their herds and flocks
and still eave a surplus of hay, a most
unusual occurrence in this section.
The wool market, from all appear
ances, is opening np. A number of
Bales oi small clips have been made at
fourteen cents during the last few days.
While the wool men have looked for a
still higher price, they are coming to
the conclusion that they expected too
much, and are' preparing to sell for a
little less than a month ago. On the
other hand, the wool market is looking
up considerably, so that the producers
stand a show of getting not leas than
fifteen cents for their clip.
In a few days another old landmark
tot The Dalles will be removed ; namely,
the old railroad bridge across Mill creek.
his bridge was constructed about Bev-
nteen years ago, and although it was
I inlty in many ways, it served the pur-
ose well. At present workmen are en
l aged in tearing down the old structure
nd piling away the material, which
1 rill probably be used for construction
voik at some other point. The old
' fridge gave railroad men no small
amount of trouble, on account of its big
curves, which made it almost impossi
ble for a train to pall out of the city
going west. - This difficulty was re
moved by the new bridge constructed
last spring.
Yesterday's Oregonian eaya: "The
new Dalles city, looking clean and trim
as a rpcer, leaves this morning on ber
first trip. She goes out in the command
of Captain Sherman Short, who was
master of the old Dalles City, and is one
of the most ekillful swift-water men on
the river, as well aa a general favorite
with the traveling public." The Dalles
City, however, is not the only boat on
the D. P. & A. N. line of which this
might be said. The master of the Dixon
Captain Fred Sherman." bears a like
reputation as a swift-water captain and
a careful man in general. With each
masters the patrons of this company can
feel assured that they are safe while on
board the boats qetween here and Port
land.
The tO. R. & N. offer you a day's out
ing in the mountains Sunday for almost
nothing. Round trip excursion tickets
50 cents. Yon will spend twice as tnnch
in the city and be not half as satisfied
and cool. Tickets to Hood River, Cas
cade Locke, Bonneville and Multnomah
Falls will be sold for the 3:20 and 7
o'clock trains, which can .be nsed on the
return trip on the 5:20 or 11:40 trains.
No one can afford to remain in the city
this warm "weather when they can
spend the day at some resort for the
small amount of 50 cents.
Yesterday Captain Johnston, formerly
the' skipper on the Dalles City, passed
through The Dalles with his wife and
family en route to his old home in Bos
ton, Mass., where he will visit relatives
and friends. The captain returned a
few days ago from a trip to Alaska, hav
ing been employed running a boat on
the Stikeen river. Traffic on that river
became slack, however, and the trans
portation company tied up the boat.
Mr. Johnston informs us that Captain
Waud, formerly of the Regulator, has
accepted a position on the Yukon where
be is running a steamer at present.
The fisheries committee of the Astoria
Progressive Commercial Association is
now arranging for a fisheries congress, to
be held there. The matter will be
taken np immediately after regatta week
and it is thought that arrangements can
be made so that the congr. ss can be
held in November. Prof. David Starr
Jordan and many other national author
ities will be present. The best means
of advancing the great fishing industry
of Oregon will be discussed, and it ia ex
pected that many new ideas will be
brought out. The artificial propagation
of Balmon will be the most interesting
subject to.como before the congress.
This matter will receive much attention
and practical experiments will be made
with salmon eggs from the hatcheries.
Hfc's Winner, lint Lost Ills Grip.
Among the many Dalles people who
left this city yesterday for Clatsop beach
was a popular county official, who, be
ing off duty, determined to forget busi
ness cares for a seaeon, and instead of
keeping records, brake them. Accord
ingly he was seen wending his way to
the delayed west-bound train, accompa
nied by not less than a half-dozen
ladies married and marriageable.
Reaching the Umatilla House he seemed
to be bo impreesed with his popularity
and advantage over the stray members
"of the sterner sex who etood enviously
by, that he was oblivious, to the fact
that time and trains wait for no man.
Just as the engine was pulling out he
was seen to rush frantically toward the
train, grab the hand rod and endeavor
to display his agility by swinging him
self aboard. However,' had it not been
for a brakeman etanding by, the ladies
would have been minus an escort and
the county an official. Aa it was, Bad
to relate, he lost his "grip," which was
returned to him by a friend who went
down on the alternoon train.
If the aforeeaid gallant gentleman is
not the "only bebble on the beach," it
will not be from lack of aggressiveness,
and our irresistable circuit judge will do
well to look out for his laurels when hiB
rival comes Bolton down. .

FROM SANTIAGO DE CUBA.
A Dalles Boy, Jesse F. Flock. Writes to
His Parents Describing; the Trials
and Victories at the Front.
Yesterday Mr. and Mrs. Flock, of this
city received a letter from their son
Jesse, of Co. H, 4th Infantry, who is
one of the brave lads who took part in
the storming of that city..- Snowing
that it will be of interest to our readers,
we publish the following extracts. He
Bays: ..
"Well, dad, I have been keeping my
health good eo far and have not got any
shots yet but there have been boys
killed right along Bide of me, but I have
prayed to God and he is my only pro
tection. We have had five battles al
ready and there were about 1300 killed
and wounded, but I suess it would be
useless to think of counting the Spanish 1
losses for we have over 1500 of them tor '
prisoners, let alone the killed and
wounded, and we have got their entiro
fleet, except a few boats that cannot
leave Spain. We are located in a horse
shoe shape around Santiago.
"We began firing on the city on the
12th and at night they threw np their i
flag of truce. I do not know what for
yet for they played the same thing on
the 4th. We began the Bame way and
kept on until night, then they put up
their flag and "wanted some consider
ations. Gen. Miles said if they wanted
to surrender alright, and if not it was
the same to him. So they said they
would give ua the city and the section of
land snrrounding it if we would let them
march their army out unmolested, and
Gen. Miles said no; that if they didn't
want to surrender that hostilities would
begin at 4 o'clock, July 11th, and so it
did too. - Now they have up their white
flag, so we are waiting under orders
now. I can see hundreds of Spaniards
from right where I . am sitting and can
eee all over the town and bay.
"In the last fight there was not one of
our men hurt, but I am sure we hurt
some of them, for we dismantled three
of their cannonB that they were using on
ua, two of which were completely de
molished and the other one a wheel was
taken off slick and clean, so it must
have hurt some of them. When that
was done thenjwe fired one shot out of a
dynamite gun into an old house on the
side of the hill and they came rolling
out like a swarm of bees.
"There are a few Spaniards coming
over almost every day giving themselves
up, and tell us where they have their
guns located, bo that is a good deal of
help to us too. They made a midnight
charge on us one night, but we didn't do
a thing to them. They only got one of
our boys and he was lying adout five
feet from me, right on the same side of
the path, so you see it was pretty close
to me. He ia from Portland, Oregon,
and his name ia Vatkesbarg, and he
was killed instantly."
Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.
The delinqent taxes of Wasco counly,
as shown on the rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are $60,000, an amount al
most equal to the indebtednesa of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs ehonld
not exist, and that all . taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
injthe pa9t the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property. - With a bountiful crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea
sonable excuse for the non-payment of
taxes. The sheriff ia bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure and sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

. Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.
