Word came into Heppner by 'phone
early yesterday morning that a sheep
herder had shot O. E. 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

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.

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.

AN INTERESTING LETTER.
Fred GrnnoTr, of Company A, Sixteenth
Infantry, Writes Concerning the
Uattle of Santiago.
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

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.".
