Portland university opened yesterday
with an attendance of 125 students.
Portland has had a hard straggle to
secure this institution, and it opens
under very satisfactory financial pros
pects, sufficient money having been
subscribed to free it from debt.
This morning a sign was placed above
the second-hand store of Mr. R.'B.
Hood, which newspaper reporters were
called upon to translate. But there are
some things which even a reporter is
compelled to give up. Evidently Mr.
Hood b88 been studying foreign lan
guages while in California, and he has
put out bis shingle as a second-hand
professor of Euch.
Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Young arrived in
the city this morning from Ridgeway
with the remains of their infant daugh
ter, Grace H., who died yesterday of
cholera infantum. They leave this after
noon for Portland, where the little one
will be buried in Lone Fir cemetery by
the side of her sister, who died several
years ago. The child was aged ten
months and twenty dayB.
The Astorian eavs: "Mrs. H. H. In-
galls bowled a perfect pame at the alleys
of the Astoria Football club recently.
She rolled 18 balls in the game and
made every one count. Her score was
58. She had four strikes and six spares
in the game. This is, so far as is known,
the only perfect game ever bowled by a
woman in the Northwest. Better scores
have been made, bnt in every-instance
the players have missed one or more
balls."
Residents of this city awoke this
morning to find that, to use a slang ex
pression, they had been given a "cold
frost." The minimum temperature was
thirty-three, and until noon, although
the sun shone brigbtly, the atmosphere
was decidedly wintery. Several gentle
men who have had occasion to visit the
country adjacent to Mts. Hood and
Adams, say that heavy snow storms
were encountered and that bands
of sheep were caught in the mountains,
snow not being expected so early.
The company's yard ha9 been com
pletely blocked with cars of late on ac
count of the immense amount of grain,
stock and other freight which is being
shipped. The crews were not sufficient
to accomplish what was required of
them, and last night a night yard crew
was added. Since the rush complaint
has been made Dy merchants that it
was impossible to get cars placed so that
freight could be unloaded. Agent Ire
land now Eays this trouble will be
obviated, and if word is given them the
evening before, the cars will be in readi
ness for unloading the next morning
Another instance of the fatal result of
the use of kerosene in starting fires oc
curred in Portland yesterday, when
Carrie Nelson, a domestic, met her death
by the explosion of a bottle of kerosene,
which she was holding in her hand aB
Bhe poured the liquid in the stove. In an
instant her clothing was on fire and she
was burned from the top of her head
almost to her waist, and her legs also
were partly charred. She was taken to
St. Vincent's hospital, where Bhe ex
pired shortly before 3 o'clock this morn
ing. She remained conscious up to
within fifteen minutes of her demise,
suffering untold miseries. Then she be
came delirious. She was about thirty
years of age, and her people live about
six miles from Portland.
La Grande is rejoicing over the sue
cussful opening ot the first beet-sugar
factory in the Northwest. The wheels
of the machinery were set in motion at
7 o'clock yesterday by Superintendent
Granger, and thirty ruin u tea later the
first juice made its appearance at the vent
of the big vat. The first refined sugar
will be ready by Thursday nieht lor
market. The plant, cost $500,000, and
the machinery weighs 2,500,000 pounds.
Everything worked as smoothly as if it
were an old and tried institution. It is
estimated that this year's crop of beets
will keep the factory employed one hun
dred days and nights, and the total out
put will be 30,000 tons of sugar.
C. E. Bayard has joined the list of
thoee who have found it necessary to re
move the large poplar trees from around
their lots, and yesterday workmen were
engaged in chopping down those in
front of his residence. Although we
realize me necessity ot sucn a move
when we consider the amount of nourish
ment which this particular tree saps from
the soil, yet it is always with a feeling
of regret that we note their removal
Few cities will be found with such beau
tiful trees as The Dalles; even Denver.

While their destruction may be a neces
sity, let ns not neglect to place in their
stead some trees that will aliord as much
shade and add even more to the ap
pearance of the town.

attendance; but we are anxious that

A word- to our merchants who have
been negligent in the matter of making
advertising exhibits. Certainly this is
one of the best means that could be em
ployed in advertising any line of busi
ness. A neat and artistic display of your
wares will attract the attraction of every
vieitor to the pavilion and many patrons
will be added to your list.
Let us all co-ODerate and make this
the crowning meeting of the Second
Eastern Oregon District Agricultural
Society. Let it not be a fair in name
only (although in this case there's much
in a name) but a fair in every sense of
the term.
CORBETTS FATE SEALED.
Todes apd pabrie
Senatorial Selection Still Doubtful
Houses Settle Down to Business.
The attention of those who intend to
make exhibits at the district fair is
called to the fact that but two short
weeks remain before the time of its open
ing. Unless you have already made the
necessary arrangements and planned
your exhibit, it gives but a short time
in which to prepare. It is to
be hoped the ladies will take an active
interest in making tbe pavilion attract
ive and in keeping with the excellent
programs which have been prepared.
The display of fancy articles last year
was commendable for a place the size of
The Dalles, many who attended the state
fair remarking as to its superiority over
the exhibit there. No doubt this year's
meeting will show that the ladies have
added many beautiful articles to their
collections. But, while remembering
the finer displaye, it is to bo hoped tbe
more substantial ones wiil not be neg
lected, and that the canned fruits,
jellies and tbe pastry will be in such
profusion as to demonstrate the ability
of onr cooks over those of any other
eection. This will be an excellent op
portunity for the young ladies to prove
that some of The Dalles girls are experts
in this line.
It is always encouraging to the
management to find that our country
friends are interested in the fair.as they
often make the best showing. Many
have signified their intention to be in
. A special to The Cheoxicle from
Salem says :
Both houses settled down to business
today, and the members hope to get
through the most pressing business be
fore time for adjournment.
The senate passed a bill repealing the
railroad commission ; also one to pro
vide a free ferry at Corvallis.
The bill to abolish the office of food
commissioner passed the senate.
Michel! introduced a " bill to provide
a law to enable express companies to
carry sheep. ..
In the house routine work was taken
up. Many resolutions were crowded
through and Eeveral bills passed the
Becond readings, and were ordered en
grossed.
The senatorial situation is unchanged
to any great extent. The opposition to
Corbett are certain of bis defeat. His
friends are not confident. They have
about given up the fight. Corbett's votes
may go to Simon any day, yet nothing
will be accomplished by such a move.
Corbett out of the way, the thirty-six
votes will be difficult to control.

follows: Corbett 30; Williams 5; Ben
