Our sale of boys' and little fellows cloth
ing will continue during the entire
week and with each suit sold, from $2.50
up, we present a watch. A word about
these watches: They are not toys, they
are the Ingersoll Watch, a genuine
timekeeper and durable, something that
will last the boy for a long time and be
reliable. Only by taking these watches
from the manufacturer in large quanti
ties are we able to make this offer. We
carry a large stock of boys' clothing to
select from, but, would advise you to call
early, as yesterday's sale would indicate
a rapid depletion of the stock.

It would seem that the cattle from a
thousand hills had been turned in Salt-
marshe stock yards today, a large band
being fed there this afternoon awaiting
shipment.
Tickets for general admission to thel and
graduating exercises tomorrow night
may be procured at the Snipes-Kinersly
drugstore. The exercises will - com
mence at 8 : 15 sharp.
Last night the High school graduating
class was -entertained by Miss Carrie
Butler, who, bad she continued her
studies here, would have been a mem
ber of the class. . The evening was
passed most pleasantly.
The Regulator will leave her wharf at
8 o'clock Sunday morning for Hood
River with the ball team and a large
number of excursionists who will spend
the day in that town. Returning, will
leave Hood River at 5 p. tu. Tickets
50 cents.
And now Pague says the river will
stand at 28 by Sunday at this place and
and at 30 Tuesday, and there is enough
of a raise in the upper rivers to warrant
the prediction. The weather, however, is
cooler above,which will tell on the rivers
after that time. . -. r
The case of Emma Sparling vs. Henry
Sparling, for divorce, was heard in the
circuit court before Judge Bradshaw
yesterday afternoon and the plaintiff
was granted a decree of divorce on the
ground of cruel and inhuman treatment.
Ned Gates appeared for the plaintiff.
Superintendent Gilbert has just re
turned from a visit to schools in the
districts of Liberty, Center Ridge, Sum
nit, Fairfield, Five Mile and Eight Mile.
He found them all in flourishing condi
tions, under the charge of the best of
teachers.
This morning Mr. Gilmore, who has
been ill in this citv for some months
past, was taken to his home at Center-
vine. Mr. . W. Crofton came over
from that place yesterday and accom
panied him over, he being taken in a
closed hack and made as comfortable as
possible.
From Dr. Logan, who accompanied
Chas. Ross to Portland, we learn that
be stood the trip remarkably well, and
was taken to St. Vincent's hospital,
where Dr. McKenzie, assisted by Dr.
Logan, amputated the crushed foot
about midway between the ankle and
knee. He bore the operation bravely
and is getting along splendidly.
The remains of eighteenlsoldiers who
died in the Philippineswere landed
yesterday at San Francisco from the

on September 3d. His remains will be
sent to Centaur, Mof, where his mother
now resides. ' i.
J. T. Neff, of Hood River, has accepted
the principalehip of The Dalles High
school. Mr. Neff is one of the most
competent instructors in the state, and
the school board of Ihe JJalleB made no
mistake in making him principal of
their high school, a school that has
gained a reputation along with the lead
ing institutions of learning in the North
west. Glacier.
A telegram received by Mr. Houghton
this morning from the Astoria team
which played the Commercial club in
Portland last night, says that four
bowlers and a mascot will arrive on the
evening train. The contest will begin
at 8:30, and the Commercial Club band
will be in attendance. A banquet will
be given our visitors atter the games
are ended. We wish our team as much
success as they had in their recent con
test with the Illiheea. ,
This section of Eastern Oregon has
beer, visited by fine rains lately and the
chances of a good, wheat , crop are ma
terially enhanced. . Farmers cay that
while the cold weather of the past few
weeks has kept the grain from making
a good showing aa it otherwise would
have done, it has been "making root"
beneath the surface and is now in good
condition for making a wonderful growth
with the advent of better "growing
weather." Condon Globe.
A large number of excursionists will
spend next Sunday in Hood River, and
a more desirable place could not easily
be selected. Many who are posessers of
kodaks will profit by the splendid op
portunity offered to secure numerous
snap-shots.; while bicycle riders and
thote who enjoy driving will have a
chance to take a ride over the finest
roads in the state. The river ride on
the favorite steamer, the Regulator, is
well worth the price of the tickets, which
is but 50 cents. None can afford to
miss the game between our team and
the picked nine of Hood River. Tickets
are now on sale at the drug stores and
other business bouses, and at the wharf
on Sunday morning.
Word was received early this morning
from Portland telling of the death of
Reta, the youngest child of Mr. and
Mrs. Polk Mays. Several months ago
their three children were afflicted with
typhoid fever in a very bad form, and
Reta, who was about 5 years of age,
seeming to gain no strength when the
fever left her, it was thoueht best to
take her to the hospital in Portland,
Mrs. Mays took her down about
three weeks ago. However, she was not
benefited thereby and died last night
about midnight. Her remains will be
brought to this city tomorrow for burial.
Much sympathy is expressed for the be
reaved parents, who since their arrival
in this city last fall have bad sickness
n the family continually, and are now
called upon to give up the pet of the
household.
It seems that everything at Atlin is
not what it was purported to be, and
bueinees ia at a standstill. The miners
are growing disgusted at the manner
in which the Canadian government
runs things, and on account of the un
certainty of the laws Americans are
afraid to put in any money, for there is
no telling what will I e done. A letter
from Mr. 'Butler this morning says that
on the day the letter was written, May
4th, the thermometer stood at 10 above,
while along some of the creeks the
ground was frozen 8 feet deep and no
work could be done. He says that only
one man out of a hundred will get his
money back. The trails are in very
bad condition and the mail which came
out that day was supposed to be the
ast until the steamers run next month.
A gentleman coming out recently said
that all the way out be saw much sick
ness. The men are compelled to eat
snow to quench their thirst, and thin
soon leads to cold and pneumonia. The
best way to go to Atlin seems to be to
stay at home.
A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.

What a Walla Wall an Saysof Tlie Dalles.
The Walla Walla Statesman has the
following from an observing citizen of
that place who recently made the trip
to Portland and evidently miesed noth
ing which was worth noticing along the
route:
"The Dalles is the largest wool depot
in the United States, if not in the world.
Some wool is handled even from the
borders of Malheur and Lake countiee,
three hundred or more miles. The
Dalles was rebuilt with many neat and
attractive houses after the fire of '91,
and it must be confessed that its stores
will bear comparison with our own.. In
fact there is perhaps only one store here
that compares in elegance and general
completeness with the stores of Pease &
Mays and A. M. Williams & Co. at The
Dalles, though the population of The
Dalles is scarcely a third of .that of our
own city.
"A beautiful and commodious high
school building has been built within
the past year at that place, and there
are in it about eighty high school stu
dents, fifteen graduating this year.
"Around The Dalles also are now com
ing into bearing some of the finest
orchards in the state. It seems plain
that the earliest frnit in the Northwest
is produced on the quick volcanic
pockets of soil amid the rocks and sand
at various points up and down the
Columbia. I. observed, however, near
Grants the danger that attends the
proximity of sand, for part ot one fine
orchard has been buried in heaps of
drifting sand."
Contract for Hauling-.
Some very important matters were
discueaed last night at the meeting of the
board of fire delegates, which if carried
out successfully will mean much to The
Dalles and be of great benefit to her
citizens.
After the meeting was called to order
at 8:30, it was ordered that the entire
department give a test drill next Thurs
day night to determine the pressure of
water at the new plug near the Wasco
warehouse. Five companies will take
part in the drill, and as many streams
of water play on the warehouse at one
time. This is eplendid practice for the
department and should occur frtqnently.
For some lime it has been considered
that The Dalles was sadly in need of a
fire alarm system. At present when the
general alarm is given much consterna
tion is caused from the fact that no one
has any idta where the fire ia, and much
time is lost thereby. Not long since the
fire underwriters made a proposition to
the city that if a good fire alarm system
were put in and a chemical engine
bought tbey would reduce the insurance
of the city ten per cent. The question
was discussed and a committee consist
ing of Messrs. J. F. Moore, J. A. Mc
Arthur, H. Glenn and R. E. Saltmarehe
was appointed to confer with the busi
ness men telative to the proposition and
to pi act? before them the idea of each,
donating the reduction of one year on
their insurance to the purchasing of the
engine, book and ladder and putting in
the alarm system. Should all coiucede
with the committee and agree to sub
scribe the amount gained by the reduc
tion on a year's insurance, a sufficient
amount will thus be procured to make
the necessary improvements, and the
saving thereby in future years will be
theirs.
Surely none will object to this ar
rangement, as no reduction can be ob
tained in any other manner, and the
benefit can be easily foreeen.
A chemical engine' is just what we
need. In nine cases ont of ten more
damage is done when the fire haa scarce
ly gained a Btart, by water than by the
fire itself. With one of these engines
one man can climb to a roof or in cloee
proximity to the blaze, and in a short
time put the fire out and virtually no
damage be done other than the small
blaze produced.
Just at this time there are many calls
upon our business men to aid in one pro
ject or another; but this is an excep
tional one, which can be given -with no
Ioes to them and much gain to all.
