Round trip fare from The Dalles only 50 cents. The heavy clouds of smoke which seem to be enveloping the country in the vicinity of Mt. Hood, it is reported are caused by immense forest fires which are raging about fifteen miles from the mountain to the Bouthwest. A party of tourists came up on the Dalles City last evening. Among them were Mrs. A. D. Sharon and Miss Sharon of San Francisco, and H. H. Tetault of New York. They spent last evening in viewing the city, and we trust were fav orably impressed. Anyone having relatives among the fifty-seven volunteers from this place, may have an opportunity to address the rosters which are to be kept for them until their return, by calling at Mrs. Phillips' millinery store between the hours of 9 a. m. and 5 p. m. today and tomorrow. The preliminary hearing of Curley Keith was held before Recorder Gates last evening at 7 :30 o'clock. Keith, who was accused of stealing $23 from the steward of the Dalles City, waived ex amination and waa bound over to await the action ot the grand jury at the next term of court. Reports from Dufur yesterday after noon state that the atmosphere is lull of smoke, caused by forest fires In that vi cinity. We, too, are beginning to notice the effect of these dreaded fires, which not only destroy our forests, but obscure offer you these goods per yard while "A word to the wise is sufficient." PEASE 1 the view of touristB and mountain-climb ers and make the air oppressive as well as unbearable. Every day the warehouses are being cleared of the wool clips consigned to them, the prevailing price seeming to be from 13)i to 14c. In the fire which occurred Sunday at Goldendale when the hotue of C. W. Hess was destroyed, B. W. Gilmore, an aged man and a member of the Gilmore family 60 well known in Oregon and Washington, was Eeriously burned. Tuesday evening the old gentleman died from the effect of the injuries receiyed. It may have been extremely hot in this city and neighborhood ; we will not dispute the fact. However, while in every exchange we peruse is mentioned the fact that people in cities, and har vest hands as well, are overcome by the heat and prostrated, we have yet to chronicle the first instance of such a: occurrence having taken place here. Next Saturday evening the fruit growers and shippers of this vicinity wil have an opportunity to hear somelhin which will be to their advantage. On that occasion a meeting will be held at the council chambers, which will be ad dressed by Wm. Weathered, who is an expert in handling fruit. Parties who are interested will no doubt be pleased with the opportunity to hear him speak. And now Baker City is becoming alarmed over the Ecarcity of the water supply, and the water committee has prohibited lawn and street sprinkling. Dalles people have much to be thankful for. While many cities in Eastern Ore gon have the same cataetrophe confront ing them, we are blessed with a good supply of water and the broad Columbia flows by our doors, so that-we are sure of a never-failing supply. One of the features which makes The Dalles such a beautiful little -city is its trees. However, the.e is a great enemy of the poplar tree, especially, abroad in our city, and its effects are very notice able in the withered branches. It is a species of the caterpillar which attaches to the branches and weaves a web about itself, gradually enlarging it until the entire tree is enveloped. This might be prevented were the owners careful to keep a sharp lookout for the slightest appearance of the destruclivo insect, when the branch could be cat off and thus prevent them spreading. The Antelope Herald, which for sev eral months has been edited by M. E. Miller, son of G. W. Miller, of this city, has changed bands and will now be owned and edited by Mr. Fred N. Wal lace, who for some time has been a resi dent of Mitchell, but who was brought up in Antelope. Fred is a bright, ener getic yonng man, and his friends in The Dalles wish him success in his new un dertaking, while the members of the newspaper fraternity welcome him to that field of labor, and have nothing bu t the best wishes for his future prosper ity. Wednesday was the hottest in the his tory of Pendleton. At 11 o'clock the thermometer stood at 111 degrees. In the afternoon it reached 119 degrees at the voluntary observer's office. Other thermometers about town read from 114 to 122 degrees. Some attribute 2 or 3 degrees of the heat to the fires in the wheat fields four miles east of the citv at they last. & MAYS. Business was quiet and people haunted cool places. The woolen mills shut down in the middle of the afternoon on account of the heat. There were no prostrations in the city, but a number of horses and men were overcome in the wheat fields. The yield of grain at Olex, in Gilliam county, is remarkably large. There is hardly an acre that does not produce from 22 to 27 bushels, and in places the latter figure is exceeded. The farmers will make a big profit if they can get enough men and machines to harvest and thresh the crop. At present thresh ing machines are scarce, and farmers who failed to engage them beforehand will have to take their turns in the wait ing lines. The farmers say a few years ago machines could be had at any time, but this year they are comparatively few in proportion to the acreage, and they 'command a good figure. Fj-oin the amount of fruit boxes which are daily piled up in front of the Pacific Express Co.'s for shipment one would suppose that little would be left for the needs of the local trade. But the sup ply is inexhaustible and there is plenty and to spare. However, is it not the case that in many instances the best is shipped and that which is second best kept at home? We have heard many complaints to that effect; but have con cluded that as "the proof of the puddin' s in eating it" the Chronicle force will ave no opportunity to refute the charge nless some of our friends who have ruit farms afford us a chance to test the atter and the fruit aB well. Residents of this city had begun to think that the promise of cooler wea ther, given by Observer Pague, was never to be fulfilled, when yesterday the thermometer dropped several degrees and stood at about the 90 mark. While this would not be considered anything but very warm at another time, to peo ple who have been sweltering for about three weeks it was a decided relief. Mr. Pague's latest report says : The area of high barometric preesure continues off the Northern California coast, slowly moving northward. From this, "high" cooler weather ia expected to prevail Friday and Saturday over the Pacific Northwest. Accompanying the fall in temperature will be clouds and probably rain along the coast. The current warm period east of the Cascades is pbenome' nal. Fire started at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in Edward Linsler's field, four miles east of Pendleton, between the Umatilla river and Wildborse creek. It destroyed three settings of wheat from 140 acres, being about 2700 buBhels Desperate fighting by Mr. Linsler, as sisted by his men, saved two other set tings, which had been given up for Inst. The flames spread and destroyed SO acres of barley, or 3200 bushels, and 80 acres of wheat, or 2000 bushels, belong' ing to Earhart Bros. Peter Tecalo lost 3000 bushels of wheat, which had been threshed and covered, ready for hauling to Pendleton. Linsler's and Earhart's grain was headed, but not threshed. Linsler's wheat was not insured. Fire destroyed wheat fields between Adams and Athena. Names and amounts are not obtainable. DeWitfs Witch Hazel Salve Cures Piles Scalds, Burns. . jnasoa Fruit Jars.

Co. has commenced work at Riparia on what is intended to be the finest and fastest steamer that ever ran on the upper Snake river. The new boat will be named the Spokane, and will have a third more power than the Lewiston, which was a big improve ment on the boats which preceded her. The Spokane will be 160 feet long, with 35 foot beam and 4n foot hold. Her en gines will be 18-inch cylinders, 7-foot stroke, and the boiler will carry 180 pounds of steam. On account of burn ing coal, there will be more room tor freight, and she will easily carry 5000 sacks of wheat. She will be lighted by electricity, and have all the modern im provements. The cost will be about $25,- 000. On account of not being able to get hSr boiler before December 10th, it will be the middle of December before she wilt be completed. The new boat will have the speed and power, with light draught, to more easily navigate the upper Clearwater than the company has been heretofore ablo to do with the Lewiston. Better Than the Filter. Dr. Martin of the New York board of health says that a sure safeguard against ill effects from contaminated water, and especially nseful in the country, or at summer reBorts, is the addition of five drops of peroxide of hydrogen to a glass of water a few minutes before drinking it. The liquid is obtainable at any drug store, it costs but a few cents, is abso lutely harmless, tasteless and colorless. Its addition to the water only breaks it up into active oxygen and water, the former killing whatever germs or disease may be present in the water. In purifying water in quantity, add 15 drops to the quart. This matter is equally effacacious and much more con venient than the ordinary way of boil ing water to destroy possible germs. If a few drops of solution of sugar are placed in a glass oi suspected water, and the glass is covered, if it is contami nated, will beome cloudy and deposit a sediment after a few hours. The Library. Have you taken a membership in the circulating library? If not, you cannot realize how much you ate missing Twenty-five cents a month is such a small sum for the privilege of access to so many good books. While a person can keep a book no longer than two weeks without paying a cent a day extra for it, even the busiest people can finish reading a story in that time, while many take three or four in that interval. Since obtaining extra funds for the pur chase of books, many late publications have been added to an already choice selection ; and every day the best of ad ditions are made. Everyone should take advantage of this opportunity to secure good reading matter. Look Out. All persons using the city water for ir rigating purposes are warned that any infringement of the rules will be strictly enforced. J. B. Ckossen, Supt. Truth wears well.
