A detachment of the U. S. Geological
Survey, in charge of Mr. Carlock, has
been making its headquarters in The
Djlfes for the past week or more and
is now working several miles above
the city. They are running a series of
levels to be a base for field operations
in 'taking up topography this season.
They have established a bench mark in
the southeast corner of the court house
yard, the top of which is 103 feet above
the sea level. On the top .of this mark,
which" looks as if it might be a large
pipe, is the inscription "U. S. Geologic
al Survey. Altitude 103 feet. Datum
Astoria. B. M. Two hundred and
fifty dollars fine for disturbing this
monument."
The many friends of Mr. C. B. Cash
ing have been much concerned as to his
physical welfare of late, he having re
ceived a great shock to his nerves. Not
from the electrical current at the power
house, but, living in the neighborhood
of our estimable county clerk, he was
invited to sample a cake which the
latter had prepared for the reception
tonight. Never dreaming of the fearful
result, be partook, and that night he
experienced a dreadful nightmare, im
agining that a horee had kicked him.
He was unable to get rid of the result,
which became a reality. Howeyer,
hopes are now entertained for his re
covery. Keleay now claims he has a
"horse" on his unsuspecting neighbor.
The West will soon be teeming' with
home-seekers ; but, like a stage coach,
this country is never full, and there's
room enough for all, if they're made of
the right kind of material. It takes grit
to get along ia the West, and with plenty
of that, success is aseured. A dispatch
from St. Paul yesterday says: "The
home-seekers' half-fare rateon the trans
continental lines went into effect today
and the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern were compelled to double their
facilities in order to handle the crowds.
Not less than 5000 people took advantage
of the low rates, and the Great Northern
sent out an extra train at noon, while
the Northern Pacific was compelled to
add a second section to its, through
trains. The railroad officials report that
many of the travelers bought only one
way ticket?, which is taken as an indi
cation - of 'an intention to locate
permanently in the West. .
Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock,
the dwelling house of Hugo Scholz,
which was situated on Mill creek, or on
a branch road leading out from the Mill
creek road, and near the old Hill place,
was burned to the ground with all its
contents. At the time of the fire Mr.
Scholz was plowing, and his wife and
baby were in the house. The roof evi
dently caught fire from a spark from
the flue, and Vbtn Mrs. Scholz discov
ered it, it was all ablaze. She at first
attempted to extinguish the flames, but
upon entering the room where the baby
was s!eeping,found the roof was on fire
and cinders were falling around the
child. She at once grabbed the baby
and escaped just in time, being unable
to save a particle of the furniture. The
family are now stopping at the farm of
Mr. Speicinger, who with another
neighbor, Mr. Kneabel, are soliciting
throughout our city to obtain funds to
enable them to rebuild their home.
Tbey were very successful, as our citi
zens responded liberally.

THINK OVER THE MATTER.
Would It Not Be Advisable to Close
the Stores Early Daring the
Heated Term.

The people of Salem are now strongly
advocating a question which, it seems to
us, it would be well for the people of
The Dalles to begin to take into -consideration
before the heat of the summer
ia upon as. We refer to the question
of early closing of our business houses
during the heated summer months.
While we would not advocate the ad
visability of such a course until perhaps
during the months of July and August,
we would suggest that the matter be
agitated prior to that time and the good
judgment of the patrons as well as that
of our merchants, be need iri consider
ing the matter.
Previous to those months it will prob
ably be necessary to keep the stores
open ontil a late hour to accommodate
the country trade; but after that time
would it not be an unselfish deed for the
ladies of onr city to unite in the deter
mination . to, for two montbs at least,
agree to do their shopping during the
day, although it may seem a trifle bard
at times, for the greater benefit ttat will
come to those who are compelled to be
shot up during the entire day, in
close atmosphere which is at times al
most unbearable. Most of the ladies of
our city consider it a necessity to super
intend the marketing. Then why not
at the same time attend to the shopping,
which is a minor matter during the
months when the beat prevents much
dressmaking being accomplished.
Much may be said pro and con con
cerning the question ; but to many who
have unselfishly looked into the matter,
it seems that it would be a commendable
movement for the ladies of The Dalles
to inaugurate, as tbey are in a great
measure responsible for the large
amount of trading which is done in the
evening, deeming it impossible to get
out during the beat of the day. But
(when looked upon in an unselfish way)
what of the numberless merchants,
bookkeepers and clerke, who after stand
ing all day behind the counters are
compelled to spend two or three hours
in the evening at the same poet of duty,
while their more fortatnate neighbors
are driving by enjoying the bracing
evening air, because many simply re
fuse to put themselves out in the slight
est manner by doing their trading dur
ing the other nine hours afforded them.
Were they privileged to have these
hours in the open air, they would arise
in the morning invigorated and ready
toSwithstand the depressing days; but
having no time for recreation, tbey are
unfitted for the duties required of them
and before the summer is over are com
pletely worn out. .
Our object in bringing up this matter
at so previous a date is that it may be
thoroughly canvassed,, and the result
be satisfactorily to all concerned. -
