A meeting af the United Artisans will

ATboy by the name of Merton, who is
employed in the broom factory in the
East End, this afternoon fell on some

lacerating his hip. Dr. Hollister was
immediately called and dressed the
wound.
Dr. C. H. Chapman, president of the
University of Oregon, is to resign, such
action to take effect at" the end of the
present college year. Information an
nouncing the contemplated resignation
was received Friday bv members of the
board of agents in Portland, to whom
the news came as a complete surprise.'
No previous intimation of the intended.
action has been received.
This afternoon the artist, Perrin, wh
is visiting our citv, made a display of
his work at the residence of Mrs. O. L,

and also of the National Art League of
Europe, and his water colors are beauti
ful, as is also the tapestry shown by
him. Any who failed to see them to

Meesre. Isaac Joles, W. T. Youue and
M. Miller returned yesterday from their
mining claim in Sand Gulcb, Grant;
county. They brought with them $560
in gold nuggets which were taken out in
clearing bedrock where the find of last
year was discovered. Mr. Joles informs
U9 that his claim is still very promising,
and that from present prospects his
most sanguine hopes will be realized.
'The mayor's real reason foFvetoing the
light ordinance has just been discovered
by a reporter who interviewed him yes-
tBrrlAV and found him heincr nptitinnpfi
by a young laciy not to place a ugnt in
front of her residence. The mayor has
' always been a lady's man and surely
that must account for the aforesaid veto,
as he could not, as Cradlebaugh would
eay, refuse the "little dimitied darlings."
It is an assured fact, therefore, that no
agreement will be reached nnlesB the
lights are placed where they cannot cast
their rays on the numerous gates being
held down, or rather, the young ladies
being held up.
''This morninga large force of men
under Contractor Robinson left town to
commence work on the Seufert & Con
don telephone line south from Dufur.
The residents ofthat" section muat be
rejoicing in the prospect of being in
such direct communication with the
towns and cities which it otherwise re
quires such a length of time to reach.
This line haB indeed been a blessing in
many ways.
Frank Menefee today received word
from Mr. C. G. Roberts, of Hood River,
announcing the death of his brother,
James Roberts, today. Mr. Roberts was
in his 72d year and was a native of Gal-
shiels, Scotland. He had been sick for
some months at the home of his brother,
where he died, his death being caused
by heart disease. The funeral will take
place from the Congregational church in
Hood River, at 1 :30 o'clock Thursday,
November 17th.
From Mr. Joles, who reached the city
last evening, we learn ot an accident
which happened to a freighter by the
name of Grimes yesterday on DesChutes
grade. Grimes had stopped his team
and was repairing his brake before start
ing down the grade, when in chopping
some pieces of wood to be used, the ax
slipped, cutting off two fingers of his
left hand. He immediately left bis team
and went to Sherar's residence, where
all the aid that could possibly be offered
under jthejcircumBtances was given him.
Mr. James BiakeleyTwho has been
visiting bis son, George, in this city, re
turned this morning to Brownsville.
Mr. Blakeley is 86 years old and crossed
the plains in 1846. Reaching The Dalles,
his party built flat boats in which they
went down the river. He still lives on
the donation land . claim which was
given him in that year, the city of
Brownsville being located on his claim.
This is a remarkable incident, as per
haps a similar case could not be found
in the state. During the Rogue river
war in 1856 he formed a company, among
the members of which were Marshall
Hill, Arthur and W. Walker, and J. A.
Gulliford. Yesterday the old gentle
man was delighted and surprised to
meet his old friend Max Ram Bey , of Sher
man county, whom he had not seen tor
forty years. Mr. Blakeley is very well
preserved tor one of his age, and his visit
with his eons in Eastern Oregon has
been very enjoyable. -
a meeting of the Woman's Club in
Portland a vote was taken as to which
would be the most appropriate choice
for our state flower, and a decided prefer
ance was given the "Mahoma," or Ore
gon grape, although many others were
suggested, such as the squash blossom,
and one old bachelor suggested the
bachelor's button. Bachelors are cer
tainly very much in evidence in Oregon,
butas to their buttons, unless the famous
button woman, who made herself bo
obnoxious in this city some time since,
makes herself numerous in the Btate
soon, they will be minus. The married
men, are partial to the early morning
glory ;the married women, four o'clocks ;
the young men, tulipB or the moon
flower ; the young ladies, hearts ease or
the dandelion ; old maids, the century
plant, and one gentleman, presumably a
miller, suggests that nothing can be
more representative than good wheat
flour, unless the honor be shared by a
little old rye.And yet when it comes to a
decisive vote nothing can be more ap
propriate or give more genuine satisfac
tion than the Oregon grape.
Court Notes.
Last night the tresspass case ef the
United States vs. Basil Delore came up
before the court. Witnesses were ex
amined, after which court adjourned till

.THE HfiftDWHRE DERIiESS..
167 Seconl St. THE DALLES, OR.
OREGON AGAINST THE WORLD
And 'o w We Make Ourselves Known at
Omaha Better Still Oregon lain
It at Manila.
There is no denying the oft-repeated
fact that wherever Oregonians go they
make their presence known and carry
away all the honors in sight and "out ot
sight.".
Another proof of this asseriion is con
tained in the reports which came from
the exposition just closed at Omaha. All
are aware that it was only through the
efforts of a few determined representative
Oregonians that our state made any
showing at all at Omaha, and yet the
trophies and medals secured exceed those
won by any other three states repre
sented. A summary of the awards shows
that Oregon agricultural displays
led, with eighteen medals: raining and
minerals, thirty-seven; educational,
five; horticultural, fifty : fishery, two;
forestry, nine ; and miscellaneous seven.
Twenty-two medals are gold, twenty
eeven are si'.ver, and thirty-seven are
bronze. There are forty-one honorable
mentions.
Better Bt ill the reports that come from
our soldiers, assure us that Oregon is not
only first in peace, but from her record
during the recent war has made not only
the United States, but the world, know
that she is "first in war." In enumerat
ing the honors which our troops have to
their credit a letter which was recent-

different clubs holding membership:

ship bowling tournament for women
bowlers will begin at 12 o'clock noon,
December 1, 1898, and end at 12 o'clock
midnight, February 15, 1S99.

contest will be the same as those which
apply to the regular members annual
individual championship contests. The
contest will consist of fiftv games, bowl
ed consecutively, between the dates
mentioned. Each and every game (up
to fifty) bowled by each contestant upon
the alleys from wbich she enters the

games so bowled will be kept, and the
