This morning A.' Heilbury who is
employed by Everding & Farrell in
their Balmon cannery, caught his right
band in the cog wheel of the machinery
and badly mashed his thumb. He
came to the city, where Dr. Hollister
dressed the wound.

Mr. and Mrs. Fish left on a freight train
at 11 :30 for Portland, but it is not likely
they can arrive before dissolution takes
place. Mrs. Fish is well known in The
Dalles, having lived here for some time.
The weather is much warmer today,
and it seems hardly possible with the
sun tshiaing so brightly, that the rivei
running by ns is blocked with ice, anc
yet this morning it was solid enough ti
admit of a two-horse team and wa?oi
passing over, while a short time afterj
ward a band of hogs was driven over
from the other side. Al Grabam is ea
gaged today in shoveling a path so that
he can bring over some freight tomor
row on band sleds, which is the way the
mail is brought.'

spike was driven Wednesday amid the
blowing of whistles and the ringing of

have been watching the' rapid progress
of the work under numerous trying cir
cumstances, the worst of all being the
cold weather and frozen ground, during
the nas, ten davs could scarcely wait
for the time when they could sav with
out doubt, "Wehave a railroad." The
men who so faithfully carried on the
work, despite the inclement weather,

A telephone message from Pufur this
morning informs us that we were badly
misinformed as to the marriage which
was reported In yesterday's Chronicle
as happening atDufur Wednesday even
ing. Having no suspicion as to the
veracity qf our informant and not being
acquainted with the parties referred to,
no investigation was made. The
CnnoNiCLK is far from having any de
sire to join in the "holy bonds" any
who may not so desire, and regret very
much that the mistake occurred. How
ever, as even a newspaper is not au
thotity on such subjects, the couple are
not necessarily married. Certain it is,
that anyone who would tamper with the
truth in regard to so eeriouf a matter, is
capable of all kinds of villainy.
Y Messrs. S. L. .brooks, Geo. Liebe,
and Geoage W. Miller who went

which will be grading and practically

ANOTHER GOOD PROGRAM.
Good Attendance at the Fair Mis Bloch
Sings "Star Spangled Banner"
Tonight's Program.
A larger crowd than was present the
'night before attended the fair last even
ing, and remarks were heard from every
pirection in regard to their surprise at
ading the ball so comfortable; indeed
might have been considered by many
is too warm,
j The program opened with an instru
mental duet by the Misses Nickelsen',
who at a late hour kindly consented to
fill- a place which was unavoidably
vacated. They were more than well re
ceived.
Miss Bloch has fairly won The Dalles
audiences not alone by her singing, but
by her charming personality, which is
wholly devoid of affectation. While
every selection given by her was beauti
ful in the extreme, enthusiasm reached
its bounds when as her last encore she
eang "Star Spangled Banner." The
wealth of sweetness, power and wonder
ful expression which her voice contains
were shown to the best advantage in this
selection which even under ordinary cir
cumstances, stirs every American heart.
Miss Bessie French's rendition of
"That Old Sweetheart of Mine," was
very taking, and seemed just suited to
her sweet manner. However, her en
Sore, of an entirely different nature, was
equally as well given.
The twelve little Indian girls, in
c istutne, who came out and after going
t irougb a drill, sang an Indian song,
s iemed to capture the audience. Indeed
t ley were perfect in their actions and
CDuId not have impersonated the klootch-

A SHAMEFUL ACCUSATION.
VTe Do No, Censure, but Commend
Ladles of tne Bed Cross Society.
We were very sorry to find the follow
ing letter from a Dalles resident in the
Oregonian yesterday, having been re
ceived by the Red Cross Society of Port
land :
'We are informed by good reliable
persons that fnod and other articles that
is sent to the soldiers i9 opened and
taken out the food you say is too rich for
the soldiers, eo you appropriate this to
your own use, strange to say that you
would run euch desperate chances with
that rich food ; the mail also has been
tampered with. Now if this pilfering
is not stopped you will get into Eerious
trouble."
Being much surprised to find euch
a complaint bad been made from this
city, we immediately inquired as to
what the general opinion in The Dalies
is concerning the work of the Red CroEB
Society in Portland and the action of
these noble ladies in regard to the mat
ter referred to.
As nearly as we can determine, this is
far from being the sentiment of the
auxiliary in this city, or of any of
those whom we bave questioned who
bave sent boxes from here. On the con
trary, the work done by that society bas
given entire satisfaction and their nn
tiring'efforts, given gratuitously, highly
commended. It is understood by all
that in some cases re-packing was quite
necessary and we are very grateful that
it was done.
Knowing that these ladiej belong to
the best families in Portland and are i

PEASE
certainly not in need of any of these
little glasses of jelly, etc., sent to our
soldier boys, to assuage their own
hunger, we resent such a preposterous
idea.
In every community are found sore
heads, even in The Dalles. Some peo
ple would kick were they to be given a
seat next to the throne in heaven
(.which is not likely in this case). We
therefore beg the ladies of Portland to
give little heed to such complaints, re
membering that such peoplo are not
representative Dallesites. Neithero do
our people commend such foolish ac
cusations. Only a few days ago the Emergency
Corps here received a request from these
same pilferers (?) that reading matter
be sent to the boys, as an opportunity
will be afforded to ship it the last of the
month. Their very acts bave proven
that they are heart and' soul in the
work for the good of our volunteers.
