It looks someth ing like a home-coming
when the mail for the Oregon and Cali
fornia boys is ordered sent to San Fran
cisco. Two clips of wool were sold at the
Wasco warehouee yesterday. The prices,
which were not given out, we under

A gentleman from Moscow states that
there is from two to three feet of snow on

in spite of the splendid entertainments
given each year by the pupils of the

The Columbia stands at 20 feet. A
dispatch received this morning regard-'
ing the rivers above says : At Lewiston,
11.2, a rise of 7; Wenatchee, 18.4, riee
of one foot; Umatilla, 12.8, rise of 4.
During the next forty-eight hours there
will be a more rapid rise in the npper
rivers, while from Friday on at Uma
tilla and westward the rivers will begin
rising more rapidly, the Columbia at
this place standing at about 27 feet next
Sunday. If she gets that high in three
days she must walk along lively.
Mrs. Wand received a letter today ad
dressed to the captain from Roland
Grant, now at Concord, N. H., in
forming bim that many of those who
attend the Baptist convention in San
Francisco in two weeks will no doubt
come up to Port1 and and make the trip
up the river to the Caecades. Dr. Grant,
being a great friend of Capt. Waud, and
supposing him to be still on this run has
written letters of introduction to the
captain to be presented by the tourists,
who will no doubt be disappointed in
finding that he is so far removed from
the waters of the Columbia.
A wedding in which Dalles people are
much interested took place in Mew York
on the 17th of this month, when Miss
Gertrude Meyer and Orlando N. Joslyn
were united in marriage. Gertrude
having been brought up in The Dalles
and Mr. Joslyn having lived bere for
several years makes their union of
interest to their many friends here.
Mrs. Joslyn in writing to Mrs. Storrs in
forms her that she will visit The Dalles,
reaching here about the 31st. As it has
been a number of years since she left
here for New York to study to be a
trained nurse, all will be pleased to
gain have the pleasure of meeting her
and wishing her well.
The following solicitors for the various
railroads are in the city for the purpose
of meeting the wool growers and im
pressing them with the superiority of
their routes, over any other as a means
of shipping their stock, wool, etc. : R.
B.Wilson, of the C. B. & Q. ; J. V.
Creighton, of the Northern Pacific; M.
J. Bissell, of the Rio Grande Western ;
E. B. Duffy, Denver & Rio Grande;
Frank Menzies, of the Chicago, Reck
Island & Pacific. C. McDaniels, repre
senting Geo. Adams & Burke Co,, live
stock commission merchants of Chicago,
is also among . 'era. It ian't so easy a
matter to pull the wool over a sheep
man's eyes, and it requires the gift of
gab to get a hearing.
The board of directors of our public
schools have appointed Prof. T. J. Seff
as principal of the schools, to fill the
place vacated by Prof Landers who . has
accepted the superintendence. In do
iug so, they have chosen well, judging
from the splendid record which he bears
as an educator. He is a graduate of Ann
Arbor, and just before coming to this
coaBt he was principal of a high school
in Turner, 111., oneof the suburbs of
Chicago. For the past few rears he has
been connected with the Hood River
schools, where he has given entire satis
faction. We bespeak for our schools
much success under the new adminis
tration of Profs. Landers and . Neff.
However, if they are as successful as
during the years since Prof. Gavin took
charge no more could be asked.
- Considering it his duty as president of
The Dalles dogs to welcoue any visiting
canines to our city, and extend to them
the key of the city, upon noticing a fine
lot of theee animals coming up Second
street last evening, "Billy McKinley,"
Maya & Crowe's beautiful animal,
pranced ont with all the pomposity
imaginable to give them the glad bark.
But alas ! poor McKinley fell among
thieves and his wool was in danger of
needing protection, for he struck a free
trade gang and it was a case of sixteen
to one for a few moments thereabouts.
As is usual with that persuasion, they
mistook his good intentions for hostility
and thinking the show was all up unless
they fought, they proceeded to whip
him. But Billy's friends came to bis
protection, and soon the enemy was
routed and his supremacy declared. It
takes a pretty tricky dog to do up
McKinley.
CIRCUIT COURT DOINGS.
Indian Jack la Set at Liberty Other
, Proceedings.
The grand jury are succeeding ad
mirably in making this term a short
one, from the number of not trne bills
they have discovered. The latest is the
case of Indian Jack, who was charged
with murdering an Indian boy at Celilo
some weeks since, and whom no one
thonght had the least show for his life,
and we doubt If he has if he ever falls
into the hands of bis fellow Los, who
will lay for him. The grand jury evi
dently have good reason for their find
ing as they would haye no object in
turning looae an Indian (or any one
elee) whom they should by law find a
true bill against; but there are more
books and crooks to consider in what is
termed law than are dreamed of in our
philosophy. Jack was discharged from
custody.
In the case of John Robinson vs. Alma
Taylor et al.; confirmation was granted.
J. A. Gulliford vs. Adolph Dietrich ;
settled and dismissed.
The petit jury was discharged at noon
until tomorrow morning at 9. The
grand jury is now considering; the case of

A. Lively Day.
The Oregon wool growers met in the
parlors of the Commercial Club this
morning at 10 o'clock, with a goodly
number of members and others - in
terested in attendance. The president,
Geo. A. Young, presided, with F. W.
Wilson as secretary . and D. M. French
treasurer. .
The principal olject of the session
was to meet Capt. Ormsby, agent of the
forest reserve, and be advised concern
ing what is expected of them and what
they may expect regarding pasture for
their flrcks, which is an all-important
question at this lime.
Mist of the moin'Dg was taken up by
the captain in reading the permit and
explaining what is to be the clcsed area
and bow much will be opened to pastur
age. The entire document will be pub
lished in the course of a few days, which
will give those who were unable to at
tend a thorough understanding of the
matter. Among other things it was de
termined that sheepmen will be com
pelled to reduce their flecks. Also that
no charges will be made for pasturage.
These are a claeB of men who are ever
wide awake, and as a matter of fact o
many things, combine to keep them on
the alert, that no time for sleeping is
allowed. They are compelled to watch
lest the wolf enter the fold and destroy
the industry entirely.
Members in attendance this morning
were Geo. A Young, H O Rooper, F A

With the wool growers in convention,

T e Dalles has been unusually lively to
day, and the hotels and lodging houses
were well filled last night.
If there's one time above another
when those who have older grown feel
like saying "Backward, turn backward
oh time in your flight, make me a child
again just for today," it is when a circus
comes to town, and the small boy is in
his glory. Many a mother was surprised
to see her son holding the reins which
guided the small ponies in the parade
this morning. But oh what fuc for the
boy! The schools were dismissed at
10:30 to enable the children to fee the
parade, and the streets were lined with
little tots. The dogs which n amber
about sixty of as fine aiiimals as we
have seen, and the cute little ponies
claimed the attention of old and young.
The tent was pitched in the vacant lot
adjoining Porter's stable, and a large
crowd attended this afternoon's per
formance.

CHARLES ROSS BADLY INJURED
Kails from trie Work Train, Which Al
most Sever Bit Left Foot.
Just so often are we called upon to
chronicle some railroad accident, where
some poor unfortunate has lost his life,
or some member of his body while die
charging his duties as a train man.
This time it is Charles Ross, a man
well known in railroad circles and along
the road where he has been employed
for some time. However, of late he has
not been connected with the O. R. & N
and only last night came up from
Portland and took the place of brake-
man on the work train, which was en
gaged in hauling gravel to fill in the
bridge near Seufert'e cannery. This
morning about 11 o'clock when Ross was
walking across the train on some gravel
his ankle turned and losing bis balance
he fell, his left leg falling across the
track and being almost severed
short distance above the ankle.
He was brought to the city at noon
and the company's physicians, Drs.
Logan ond Doane, dressed the wound as
beat they could and he was taken to the
hospital in Portland, where it is ex
pected the foot will have to be ampu
tated.
Mr. Ross is an unmarried man about
30 years of age, and bis relatives reside
in Portland. He was very brave during
his intense suffering and told the men
who stood by just how the accident
happened.
