principally "love" games, until by prac
tice the members play toe "deuce" with
each other. We are pleased to see that
the game is being again revived.
A petition signid generally by the
people of Antelope requesting that the
salary of stock inspector be increased
from $250 to $500 was considered by the
commissioners court today, and a raise of
$100 was decided upon, the salary now
being (350.
The commissioners' court is still con
sidering the question of the roads, and
a petition of C. R. Bone and others for a
road leading from the town of Hood
River (or the new mill) to the boat land
ing was denied on the grounds that the
terminus of the road was vague and in
denfiite. Gov. T. T. Geer is in receipt of a draft
from the secretary of the interior for
$1475.84, being 5 per cent of the net
proceeds ot the sale of public lands in
Oregon, made by the government during
the past year, This amount of money
will be apportioned among the various
counties for school purposes.
The river is still falling at this place,
slightly, and stood this morning at 12.7.
The Oregonian yesterday devoted a page
to very interesting statistics regarding
the water situation, which certainly go
a long way in persuading one that we
are to have a flood. But, after all,
there is only One who knows, and He
won't tell.
The attention of our amateur photog
raphers is again called to the visit of
Mr. G. M. Weister to our city. He will
arrive from Portland this evening, and
will meet all those interested in pho
tography at the court house this evening
at 8 o'clock, when he will give an ex
hibition of lantern slide views of North
western scenery. No admission is to be
I charged, and it is a splendid chance for
amatenr to receive much information,
and at the same time be entertained.
An exchange tells of a visitor -at a
public school, who, being requested to
address the pupils, spoke of the neces
sity of obeying their teacher and grow
ing up to be useful, loyal and patriotic
citizens. .To emphasize his remarks, he
pointed to a large, national flag that
almost covered one end of the room,
and said : "Now, boys, who can tetl me
what that flag is there for?" One little
fellow who understood the condition of
the room better than the speaker, re
plied: "I know, sir. It's to hide the
dirt."
Few places the siz9 of The Dalles
have as many pretty homes as has this
city, and this spring we' are enjoying a
boom in this direction, for dotted here
and there throughout "the residence
portion new buildings are going up
whicb will be ornaments to the town.
Mr. Pease's hew bouse will soon be oc
cupied, as will also Judge Bennett's.
Already the grounds around the latter
are being terraced and one can readily
see they are to be beautiful. Another
-very pretty home is that of Frank Meue
fee, cn the hill, which is nearly com
milk if i
pleted. Then F. C. Sexton has begun
the construction of a fine residence on
the knoll above Seventh street, one of
the most beautiful sites in town. There
are also many others going up of which
the city should feel proud.
IT WILL BE SETTLED.
Now that Boston lias Come to Oar
Assistance.
A poor seedy looking individual, who
looked like the last leaf on the tree, but
with a pair of intelligent .eyes, entered
the court house this morning, and gazing
for a time about its hallowed walls, asked
Jailer Fitzgerald if court waB in eession.
Being told that it was he remonstrated
that he conld not find it. John then took
him to the court room and left him to
the tender mercies of the judge, who in
quired bis business. He was told that
he was a Boston lawyer, who had seen
brighter days; that he had some busi
ness at Prineville, but having become
what we term "broke," requested ten
cents to purchase a sandwich (presum
ing we bad no beans). Inquiring if the
county clerk was the district attorney,
and being answered by some wag that
he was, he laid his woes before him. The
result was that he received some assist
ance from the gentlemen present. . '
However, this did not seem to suffice,
and he sought the sheriff's office, where
he informed them that he thought
the county might be more liberal
since he was going to Prineville
to settle the question regarding
the removal ot the Prineville stage
line from The Dalles to Moro, in favor of
the former city. This brought down the
"house" and if it did not accomplish the
desired end, sufficed to make known to
the court just what a precarious condition
this queetion is in, when we must send to
Boston for a member of the legal fra
ternity to settle it. Surely if he succeed
not, we will be compelled to call upon a
Philadelphia lawyer.
There are more ways of securing as
eistance than are dreamed of in our
philosophy.
When Nature
Needs assistance it may be best to render
it promptly, but one should remember
to use even the most perfect remedies

AS TOLD BY A DALLES BOY.
Harry Frertden Tells of Real War He
Was la It With the Kest.
The letters in the Oregonian concern
ing the battled are interesting; but here
is what one ot our own boys says con
cerning his experience. He writes home
as follows :
Caloocan, P. I., Block House, on
Firing Line, March 29 As we aro lay
ing around camp and are only doing
guard duty at night which is out poet
duty at that, I thought I would drop
you a line to let you know that after go
ing through three good battles, I have
come out without a scratch, but have
eeen some noble men go down by my
side, some shot dead and others
wounded.
No doubt ere this you have heard all
about us, and the work we have done,
which, if I do say it myself, is something
the people of Oregon, can justly be
proud of, and their Oregon regiment;
and the Eighth army corps can be proud
of their record. As the paper here states,
never in the history of the United States
or the war with Spain has any regiment
made such a gallant charge across an J
open field to a fortress made of tienches
that seemed almost inevitable. In fact,
it was said the artillery dare not approach
under deadly fire, but the Oregon regi
ment, from that good old Webfoot state,
fought every inch of ground until the
trenches were scaled and the negroes
driven from them. It is difficult to ex
plain to you on paper, or even by talk,
just how the trenches are constructed
the only way is to go and see them, and
then think how in heaven's . name we
ever came oat alive.
Only the Kansas regiment, which has
been guarding them for forty days, knew
how strong they were; and they have a
colonel who bad been through the civil
war, and also under Gomez in Cuba
before the war with Spain. He 6aid that
those trenches could never be taken by
infantry, and to try to capture them
would mean the death of every man
but we took them, and now are called
light artillery. We were told before we
went into them we would have the
hardest position, so collected ourselves
and faced it bravely.
After we left the city on March 24th,
we marched within one mile of their
entrenchments and rested lor the rest of
the day. When it was dark we pushed
on and fell into our places while the
gunboat Helen sent forth its blazing
search-light, so as to assist ub in locat
ing the insurgents in case they should
fire upon us. We could see them, but
the light was so strong on them they
could not see us.
Everything was quiet until daylight,
when the artillery threw some shells at
them and soon the insurgents were en
gaged. - After a few minutes of volley
firing the command came, "Foward!"
Lord 1 but that took my breath away.
They were showering ns with lead, but
quickly we pushed on and over we went.
We bad scarcely taken ten eteps when
three boys went down to my right, for
you see the negroeB were only 100 yards
away but on we went forgetting every
thing, until the command was given to
lie down. I tell you, I dropped like a
flash, and I don't think I ever got so
close to the ground before in my life.
About this time it sounded like there
were 10,000 men beating on tin cans and
the heavens seemed to burst open and
revealed a light as strong as day, or as if
a hugh fire-cracker had burst right
before my eyes, giving that funny feel
ing of wanting to wink your eye as faet
as you can. .
The next order came like a death war
rant to the poor soldiers, when tbey
screamed, "Forward boys! give them
h 1." .And we did ; with one yell and
with a run we were on the top of their
entrenchments, in less than ten minutes
after we had left ours. After we suc
ceeded in routing them and chasing them
for one mile and a quarter we stopped,
for that was sufficient to let them know
the staff that makes the American.
It was undoubtedly a gallant charge,
but it cost ua some fine men. In that
short time we lost more men than any
company three killed and eleven
wounded, and one has eince died yet
we made a name for Oregon, and Com
pany L ia on everybody's lips.
When we retreated, it was then I saw
the horrors of war. Waa surprised to
find them so strongly entrenched. It
was a miracle that every one of us were
not killed, for the insurgents ' were
scattered in bunches of three or four. It
was a complete victory for us in Malabori
that day.
We didn't enter the city for they
burned It and the names are licsing up
everything at present writing. Just
now we are only resting, for General
Otis says we are deserving of it.
I felt the shakest when we were falling
in line and the Manser bullets were
cutting the leaves and limbs off the
trees beside us. ' After sealing the
trenches I didn't seem to know or re
member a thing well, in fact, we
crossed a railroad track and I actually
didn't know it until we returned and saw
it. A fellow's spirits are the lowest when
he sees his comrades go down by the side
of him, shot dead or wounded. You
don't think about yourself getting hit,
for you haven't time and you don't want
to all that urges us on is to get there
aa quick as you can, and work for
"sweet revenge." Really, one is half
crazy, midst yelling and roaring of
thousands at work, and to be an eye wit
ness to the cruel death of the ones yon
have learned to love and protect.
I saw six noble fellows meet death,
but had the pleasure of seeing five times
that many negroes yield to the accuracy
of our aim. But one life of an American
ia worth a thousand of them. We had
some very narrow escapes in our com
pany. Two fellows' liyes were saved by
having cartridges m their pockets. One
fellow barely escaped, for the bullet
entered his breast, but striking the cart
ridges glanced off and came out on the
left eide tearing several shells into
smithers. Some were shot through the
hat, others lost a finger ; but I waB
fortunate. One fellow had been wound
ed and Jess Bollam, H. O., was dressing
the wound, when he was struck in the
back with a bullet, and died in Jess'
arms.
I am well, and willing to go in again
but at the same time, I am not" looking
for a scrape now like I was, for that fight
took the scraping qualities out of me. I
muBt also say, our captain is the cool
est headed man in our regiment, and a
man can't help from fighting under his
orders.
The mail is now being collected so this
must go. Will be home with you one
year from next Christmas.
Walking for a Bride.
We hear much these days of walking
for "dat cake," but the latest thing is
walking for "dat bride," and having her
bake the cake afterward. The first in
stance we have heard of this kiud oc
curred this morning, when W. F. Gaston
and his intended father-in-law walked
into the clerk's .office and obtained a
marriage license, the former having won
the right to wed Mary C. Kiser by arie
ing at sun-up and walking with Mr.
Kiser from Hood River a distance of
twenty-five miles reaching the city at
11:30. The poor fellow looked some
what as if he was ready to back out,
with the thought of the returning
twenty-five miles looming up before him,
which had to be made before sundown ;
but the father insisted no man could
have bis daughter who couldn't accom
plish such a light feat, and he bravely
faced the music and securing the docu
ment they started back.
It is said that the deputy clerk fur
nished a 10-cent revenue stamp to place
on the licenee, with the promise that be
was to kiss the bride. But we Imagine
he will consider the question a long time
and lose his ten cents before walking to
Hood River to collect.
The happy couple are to be united
Sunday, and bis friends trust his fate
will be unlike that of his predecessor,
who walked the same distance before,
and after winning the prize kept it but
three short months. -
