Farnsworth's camp-tender, a Spaniard, killing him instantly. The cause of the trouble is unknown. Last week in mentioning the stone fence which 19 being placed about the Catholic church, the credit was given Louie Comini for the superiority of the job. We have since been informed that Louis Monterastelli ia the workman who has it in charge. However, it is a fine piece of work, and anyone doing the same, is entitled to a large amount of credit. The monster engine and freight train, belonging to F. M. Chrisman, of Silver Lake, is here in care of Moody's ware house. Many were in the East End yesterday for the purpose of viewing the outfit, and most all express the opinion that the engine will never be a euccess on Eastern Oregon bills. The tender and freight wagons are monsters, and will carry from six to seven tone. In a private letter received from the beach a young lady remarks that scan as you will the beach from end to end, not a young man is visible. And now we are wondering what has become of The Chronicle reporter. Was he so pursued that he climbed a tree, or ia he merely "out of sight." "Pity 'tis 'tis true," summer resorts are a veritable heaven as tegards the male persuasion. How ever, the summer girl does not seem in clined to mend her ways and seek a home of that description. Yesterday the members of the Vashon College quartette, composed of MessrB. J. W. Harrison, Fred Sutter, A. B. Davis and C. B. Jones, were passengers on the boat and leave this morning for Centerville, where they will give a con cert this evening. Tomorrow evening the citizens of Goldendale will be enter tained by these young men. PassengerB who came up with them regret very much that they were unable to give an entertainment here, as they were de lighted with their singing on the trip. If it were not for the fact that we had determined not to mention the etate of the - weather, and had promised our readers to be "mum" on the subject, we would certainly say that yesterday was one of the hottest days we have had. Although the thermometer did not get up Into the hundrede, there was so much offer you these goods per yard while "A word to the wise is sufficient." PEASE humidity in the air that it really seemed warmer than it had previously been. However we will not go back on our word, but The Chronicle will endeavor to drop at your door as "cool and we trust col'ected," as though the mercury was down at zero. The aunual meeting of the National Educational Association ia to be held next July on the Pacific coast, and there are two aspirants for the convention, Portland and L03 Angeles, with the ex ecutive committee strongly favoring Portland. It is to be hoped the latter place Eucceed9 in securing this meeting, as many delegates - from all over the United States wiuJ"; tend,, and these people are such as any-city might well be proud of entertaining. A body of men and women banded together to promote the cause of education Eurely will do honor to any state or city where they may choose to congregate. Through tickets ts Chicago, at the reduced rates, were placed on sale at all railway passenger offices in Portland yesterday morning. The lat?st cut amounts to $3.50, and travelers may go to Chicago, first-class for $24.50, and second-class for $14.50. In the sale of tickets the rebate plan is adhered to. It was at first supposed that the Canadian Pacific was the cause of the cut: but it now appears that it is done to shut orff brokers for eastern lines. This is la 1 splendid opportunity for western peopfej to visit their friends in many are taking advanta were not for the warm is intensified in the-East scarcely accommodate the -travel. The Fishing Season Closes. The c'ose season for salmon fishing on the Columbia and its tributaries begins at midnight August 10th. The section regarding the close season reads : "It shall not be lawful to take or fish fish) r it r, ii for salmon in the Columbia river or tributaries, by any means whatever. any year hereafter between the first day of March and the tenth day of April, or between the tenth of August and the tenth day of September, or in any of the rivers or bays of the state or the Co lombia river during the weekly close time, that is to say, between the hour of 6 in the afternoon of Saturday and 6 in the afternoon of Sunday." It is generally believed that every four years fishermen may expect an un usually large run, and as this is sup posed to be one of the lucky years, those! on the upper river, at least, were some-' what disappointed. Some fair catches have been made, but nothing nearly what was expected. The catch on the lower river seems to have been better. It is thought by many that the traps, which are so numerous along the river at and below the Cascades, have much to do with the ecarcity of the finny tribe iu the upper river. Fishermen should press their claims in this regard, and secure their abolishment.

Among the many letters which have been received from our soldier boys, none seem to us so interesting as the following written by Fred Grunow, a Dalles boy, to his brother Will, of Thjs Chkonicle force. Fred joined the regu lar army at Vancouver about a year ago, later stationed at Fort Boise, Idaho, from which point the 16th infantry was ordered south at the outbreak of the present war, and consequently was in the thick of the fray at Santiago. The letter was received yesterday, and is as follows : Santiago db Cuba, Jul 19, 1S98. "I still live "to write again. After passing through three days of continual fire, it was a miracle that I escaped without being shot. You can't imagine how a shell bursting over your head will sound if you have never been under fire. "On the night of the 30th of June we were in camp five miles from Santiago. On the following morning we received orders to be under heavy marching or der by four o'clock, as the army intend ed to make an attack upon the Spanish lines on July 1st. "You have no doubt seen the accounts of the battle of Santiago in the news papers. We have received no newspa pers of a late date as yet that give ac counts of the engagement. I understand that the 71st New York volunteers got the credit ot taking the first Spanish position or block house and entrench ments. It was otherwise. The Seventy-first belonged to our brigade and were in front of our regiment the day of battle. After crossing the creek their officers refused to go ahead as ordered. Col. Theaker of our regiment passed by followed by the 16th infantry. After crossing the creek we were ordered to charge the hill, and after losing both heavily in officers iu men we succeeded in taking the enemy's position. The 16th " infantry were the first to raise their flag and no tme will say the con trary. "A few reporters from large New York papers, styling themselves war corre spondents, lie in their tents in the rear and write from imagination. It is their ooject to give the troops from their state more credit man necessary, as we were charging the hill, the Seventy-first kept continually shooting from the rear and wounding our men, and would not stop until ordered to do bo by our officers. Why was it that if they were fighting so -gallantly , according to news paper accounts, that they hai to do five days' road fatigue for cowardice. No doubt they fought like demons; but their officers were not fit to lead a com pany or regiment in battle. "The colored troops fought like dem ons all the way during the engagement; and they made a name for their respect ive regimentB. "Our regiment lost 130 killed and wounded and many other regiments suffered as heavily. "On the 10th and 11th of July our batteries opened fire on the town and destroyed a good deal of property. Their object was to shell the Spanish intrench ments, and after routing the enemy to turn the gatling guns loose. This plan DIOQ We have just received a shipment of Gents' Victors. The name is sufficient guarantee of quality. JS&vy& e& worked well, as the next morning the Spaniards ra;sed the white flag. They have every building in Santiago crowded with wounded soldiers. "The town surrendered on the 14th. We lined up on our intrenchments Sun day, the 17th, to witness the ceremony of raising the American flag over the city and the Spaniards march by to stack arms. The Spanish army will be transported back to Spain as soon as foreign transportation arrives, while our army will take their own transports back to America. "The harbor today presents a grand spectacle, our ships lying there awaiting to be unloaded. "Nearly every one is down with the fever, and if the"y do not get the army out of its present position Uncle Sam will have a good many more dead sol diers. Sleeping on the damp ground and not having proper nourishment will soon swell the death list. It has rained every day since we have been on the island, and the dew that falls at night is heavier than rain. Not half of the men have bedding to sleep on. The shelter- tents afford very little shelter from the hot ravs of the eun. "I may come out of the war alive, but the chances are that I may be a cripple from rheumatism. As I have no more paper to write on, and am too weak to sit up, I will close." Former Dalleslte Returns from Dtvson The Oregonian has the following con cerning Dr. lijtkin, wno has just re turned from Dawson. He was formerly a resident ot this city, and while his friends regret that he returns empty handed, they are pleased that he at least comes back in good health and de- termined to remain in Oregon : " Dr. O. F. Botkin. of Mount Tabor, has arrived home from Dawson after spending a little over a year in that country. He confirms 'the story of the accident of his party on the Yukon river, in which their boat was upset. They lost everything they had and came near losing their lives. Dr. Botkin said yesterday in looking back over their fearful experience in the Yukon, that he is failed with wonder that any of the party escaped with their lives, and all are exceedingly thankful to be able to greet their friends. Dr. Botkin and party left Dawson June 28, and he reached his home at Mount Tabor yes terday, after a journey ot great peril and hardships. In spite of his rough ex periences on the way home he arrived robust and in good health. By reason of the accident Dr. Botkin lost every thing he started out with. He has some interest in some claims that promise well, but is not likely to return. Alaska he found was not what it is cracked up to be.". Win your battles against disease by acting promptly.
