Dave Newman, a former Dalles boy, is
in town today visiting frietods. Dave is
now general manager of a large mer
cantile store in Hanford, Calif., having
supervision of thirty-five clerks. And
so the Dalles boys, one by one, are taking
their places among the foremost business
men of the land.
Many who heard the blasting today
down the river, were led to wonder
whether or not a Spanish fleet might
not be entering our harbor. However,
it appears we have other fish to fry, and
the report was caused by some one blast
ing on the Washington side in order to
put in a fish wheel.
Commissioners court is in session
today. They are engaged in business
connected with the county roads. Among
other matters G. A. Head, of Des Chutes,
presented a petition for a road of public
easement, which was denied, as the
petitioner refused to pay the damages
assessed by the appraisers.
Those who heard Haverly's minstrels
when they visited this coast will re
member McAndrews, who has been one
of the best known minstrel men in the
country, and was the original "water
melon man." He has just been com
mitted to an insane asylum in the East,
his mental condition resulting from a
fall from a horse car in Chicago.
The wires to be used on the Oregon
telephone line between The Dalles and
Prineville will be of aluminum instead
of copper. This is an entirely new de
parture, as this metal is not in general
use at present. However, It is said to
possess many advantages, economically,
in strength and otherwise, and will soon
be used very generally, particularly as
the price of copper is now so high.
It is to be regretted that the Portland
Fourth of July committee is not making
more of an effort to secure the battleship
Iowa for its celebration, as it would
have been an attraction the value of

Nothing would have pleased the edi

any other states for that matter, more
than to have been privileged to see this

w. a. uampoen, tne insurance man,
came into toe city last evening, and is
today receiving the .congratulation of
his friends on his narrow escape from
drowning a few weeks ago. Mr. Camp
bell declares the newspapers exagger
ated the fact, but at the same time
expresses no desire to be in the same
predicament. Some have accused him
of going through the danaerouB experi

ing to advertise the benefits of life

Someone said The Dalles is quiet.
Well, "still water runs deep." But it
doesn't look very quiet in the East End,
where teams are continually coming in
with wool, loading np and starting out.
The Dalles isn't the ranting kind.

if people are afraid to make it known,
and therefore keep it from the news

(and more too). But the town in spite
of reports, enemies, and all else com
bined, pereues the even tenor of its way
and "gets there just the Eame."
The state military board has decided
to hold a state encampment of the
National Guard this year. It will pro
bably be held daring the month of June.
A number of locations are being con
sidered for the camp. It is the aim of
the board to select a central point where
good water and an adandanceof supplies
can be had. The encampment will last
ten days. The uniforms and other
equipment for the National Guard will
be ready for use before the boys go into
camp.
Christopher Fitz Gerald still con
tinues to win for himself renewed mili
tary honors in Cuba. A letter just re
ceived by his father, tells of his promo
tion to a captaincy in the U. S. V. en
gineers on April 24th. Capt. Fitz Gerald
had just reached Augusta, Georgia, on
his way from Cuba. His father had
hoped t.hat Chi is might obtain a fur
lough and be enabled to visit him and
his Bister, who is now in the convent at
at Spokane ; but be is in doubt whether
it will be given during such trying
times. It has been seven years and a
half since he was in The Dalles, having
left here immediately after the funeral
of his brother, Joseph Fitz Gerald.
The new dining car to be put on the
road between this place and Umatilla,
Is now in Portland and it is expected
will be brought up today or tomorrow.
It is in charge of F. S. Kelly, and is a
very beautiful caT being furnished in
white oak. There is only one dining
car in the west that equals this one for
finish and elegance of furnishings, the
other one being used on the North
western. Elegant silverware is provided,
and in every particular the service will
be first-class. Passengers going and
coming can now have their meals on
the train, and not get off at Grant's as
at present, and wade through the sea of
sand mat lies between the passenger
station and the eating honse at that
point.
Hubert Leist met with an unfortunate
accident today when returning home
from work. As he turned the eorner at
Mays & Crowe 8 store and started up
Second street on bis bicycle, he ran into
a team which was coming down and was
thrown off, breaking the small bone of
bis right arm at the elbow joint. Dr.
Geisendorffer was at once Bent for and
gave the necessary medical assistance.
The accident is particularly unfortunate
as Hubert, who bad previously been em
ployed by I.- C. Nickelsen, has just
started to learn the carpenter's trade
and had been working for Hugh Glenn
the past month. This will cause him to
be unable to work for about two months.

Salmon are beginning to make their
appearance more plentifully. four
hundred pounds were caught by a wheel
at Celilo in the past two days. Seufert
Bros, took in about 150 pounds in one
wheel yesterday, and this morning some
Indians caDtured 250 pounds in two
wheels. Seufert Bros.' cannery made
the hrst run of the season ' today, can
ning a few pounds which were on hand
However, the catch amounts to little as
yet. The Astorian gsaid yeeterday
Fishermen are doing but little and the
scarcity of salmon is believed to be
largely due to the prevailing cold weatb
er, Beports from the middle Columbia
are to the effect that larger catches are
being taken there than in the vicinity
of Astoria. But the catches are light
all along the river and no improvemen
is anticipated until a change in the
weather sets in."
A FLOOD OR NOT A FLOOD.
Opinions Vary, nut Late Reports
More Encouraging;.
Are
Opinion seems to be already changing
regarding this year's predicted flood, as
encouraging news is being brought from
the mountains by men who know where
of they speak. Mr. C. M. Grimes, who
as just returned from the region of the
eadwaters of the Snake and Red Bock
rivers, about thirty miles from Yellow
stone Park, says he believes the people
are unduly exercised over existing con-
itions. While the snow drifts are
umeroue, they have solidified and are
irtually solid ice, which will necessarily
melt slowly. The snow ia the mountains
nearer is more likely to cause a rise, but
t is thought will effect the Clearwater
nd Coeur d'Alene almost entirely.
Kobt. Smith, of La Grande, who has
nterests which require him to keep
posted in this regard, writes to friends
and tells them not to be alarmed, that
there is less snow in the Blue mountains
thsn usual. This report, of coutse, con
flicts with others recently given, one of
which says that forty leet of snow has
fallen there and it is still snowing.
An O. R. & N. man who recently went
nto those mountains to investigate, says
e found the enow very firm, and is of
the opinion that it will melt very slowly.
He says they do not fear trouble from
that quarter any longer, notwitbstand-
ng there is an abundance of enow there.
The Short Line people report heavy
snows and high waters in the bnake
river country. The river is higher now
than it has been for years, and there is
left plenty of snow to keep it high for
some time. They perhaps have not in
vestigated so fully as to the solidity as
did Mr. Grimes, whose business requires
him to be right in the mountains.
But, after all, as the Telegram last
night ears, it depends upon tbe weather.
If it remains cool during May, with now
and then warm days, the snow will
work off gradually and there can be no
flood here. . If the weather drops off hot
and stays so there is enough snow tribu
tary to tbe Columbia to make trouble
for all who live along the river in this
part of the country.
There is one other thing to be con
sidered in connection with the weather.
If tbe sea soli e in the British Columbia
territory and in the Snake river country
should be about the same as in Eastern
Oregon and bring down the. water from
all the tributaries at one time there
would be a flood.
The Snake river usually comes down
about three weeks ahead of the Colum
bia, and if this holds good this year all
will be well. On the other hand, if the
snow is late melting in the Snake river
district and the water starts on its
journey to the sea about the time it does
from the head streams of tbe Columbia,
there will be a flood long to be remem
bered.
The best judges have it figured out
against a flood, but admit that it may
come.

Mrs. Eddon and Mrs. Rees was an

had found the' greatest number of points
in favor of Miss Wasco Morris, who
dances very smoothly and seems to be
as light as a feather as she glides around

Pruyne won the honors, and many of
those who were deciding in their own

chosen Bert as their favorite.

Eg-gs for Settings.
Although large crowds have attended
the soirees given by Smith Bros, during
the past winter, perhaps more were
present last night to witness tbe contest
for tbe medal than have attended on ai J
previous evening.
About ten couples, members of this
year's class, were on tbe floor in tte
prize waltz, and, jndging from the
good dancing displayed, the judges must
have been at their wits end to make
choice, for truly wonderful progress has
been made by the pupils.

determining the best dancer among the
young men and the second to decide
between tbe young ladies.
