The management of the Spokane In
dustrial Exposition is to be congratu
lated on having secured the Grand Army
Ban I, of Canton, Ohio, for its exposition
in October. Many people heard of this
fine hand, which was with President

St. Louis iu 1836, and there are many
people in tho northwest who were
present at that time mid heard its splen

It Is estimated that between 8,000,000
and 10,000,000 people in the United
States take a vacation every tuiniiuir.
They spend between fl00,000,000 and
1(500,000,000 yearly in pursuit of pleasuie.
There aro in the United States 123,000

A rich body of gold-bearing oro was
struck in the south side of town before

sixteen feet wide and runs from north
west to southeast. Two men are work

not beou made public, hut it is said to
bo withln-the city limits. The ore can
be seen at Drews barber ehop, Second
street. It was assayed by Messrs. Sin
c'mir and gave if6 per ton in gold.
Henry VUlard, of railroad fame in the
Northwest, accompanied by his family,
came up In his special car, which was
attached to tho evening trnln, aud re
mained In the city until the night train,
taking supper at the Umatilla House.
When spoken to by a reporter he said
his visit had no special significance, and
that they were simply on u pleasure
trip. He bus made the trip through the
Sound country and lias been in Eugene
und other volley towns, stopping in
Portland n few days.
Winter and summer is just the Enmeto
Dalles bowlers when it comes to rollin'
'em to win, as was proven by the game
ut Astoria Monday night. From Fred
Houghton, w ho returned last night, we
learn that Messrs llradshuw, Houghton,
Oiiden nnd Baldwin met tho Astoria
team on their alleys on that evening and
beat them four straight games. While
they hud been practicing up for the
game, our team were all ont of practice
und had no idea of standing any show
at nil. This fact makes the result nil
tho more flattering for our bowlers.
Tho proof of the fruit crop is in Eeeing
aud tasting it, und wo confess after
hearing so much about the failure of tho
prune crop this year, we were not a
little surprised when John Taylor
brought to the ofllce this morning a
brunch of Italian prunes, raised ut their
place on Dry Hollow, eo heavy with
fmit that it could scarcely bear the
weight. It certainly doesn't look much
like a failure, and the fruit has the ap
pearance of being healthy. Mr. Toy lor
says that while the conditions regarding
Hint fruit are the same as that of others,
a tree here and there being injured, on
nn average they will have over two
thirds of u crop. The peach plums have
about alt bceu disposed of and in most
sections were a good crop.
Lieutenant Lewis, the officer who has
been in Tho Dalles for the past ten days
for tho purposo of obtaining recruits for
tlie Thirty-fifth regiment, has received
oiders to leave for Salem tomorrow,
where ho will open a recruiting station,
He will, however, he in Tho Dalles on
Friday and Saturday of each week, when
any who may desire can enlist. During
his stay here he has accepted fourteen,
five of whom stood exatninations here,
They were Adolpli Satterthwaite, John
L. Pound, Ernst Hlte, J. C. Emmet aud
E. C. Gordon, all strangers iu the city.
Lieutenant Lewis expresses himself as
perfectly satisfied with tho result of his
work here, and is much pleased with our
city, especially from a business point of
view. Most of the recruits In various
citioB visited aro from a class who have
no special line of business; young men
whose parents aro well to do or who
have no desire to outer business circles,
In Tho Dalles he has found nono of this
class, and he has made up his mind that
the people here are unusually indus
trious and business-like.

Harmony whiskey for family and
special use, sold by lieu Wllion, The
Dalles. jl
Tho first ct our soldier
is GcoriM Dufnr. who ca
night's trnin, having obinn from San
Franr.ifco with what ,fs termed by tho
Oregonlan as the ady6nco guard. This
was composed of about 400, mostly boys
who bolotifr to the valley towns and who
got olT at their various homes. Among
them wcro three Dalles boys beside
George. They were John Cooper, F. B.
Frhdley and Will Norman. The latter
will go to, his parents who now live in
Southern Oregon and the other two will
rotuin with the boys Saturday. A
young man by the natno of Kobcrson
camo up to Hood River last night.
George says that the boys looked at it
from tho standpoint Vliat they, would
save but about 50 cents in faro by wait
ing for tlie special train, and they were
extremely anxious' to reach home, so
having nothing to keep them in 'Frisco
they lit ont.
The Oregonian estimates that aSout
800 will reach Portland this evening;
but in this (as, in many other things)
she will be disappointed, for at most it
is thought there will bo but 500, since
the arrival of eo many yesterday.
The reporter questioned as to how
many Dalles boys would return Satur
day and he informed us that Barlell had
said there would be but about twenty
three. Several had returned previously.
Two Guy Saunders and W. E. Lee were
Eastern boys who enlisted here, and re
turned to their homes; two are numbered
among those who are row "under the
sod and the dew," and when all is told
but thirty at the very most will be left
to receive their welcome home.
In regard to mustering out at San
Francisco, George says the boys cannot
b8 blamed. While it was a question of
finances to a certain extent, that was
not so much considered as was the fact
of taking advantages of the first oppor
tunity to reach land and remain there.
After a month on board transports,
which at best are not desirable, and
when considering that with the slow
progress made by them it would neces
sitate almost a week longeron the water,
they were unanimously in favor of
'Frieco. At the same time they regret
that such disappointment was occasioned
in their own state.
While on the islands George was em
ployed on the non-commissioned staff as
stenographer for Gen. Hughes, although
occasionally as an opportunity presented
itself he would shoulder his musket and
join the boys in the fray. Two orderlies
from the ofllce where he was employed
was brought back corpses, having seized
an opportunity to escape office duty for
the field.
While having the satisfaction of
discharging duty well, and obtaining
an experience which he would not have
f jregone, he is not in lovo with tlie is
lands and refused a splendid position
there, preferring to be "homo again."
Committees or Iteet-i.tloii Appointed.
At tho meeting Jof tho volunteer re
ception committee last evening C. F.
Stephens reported that about $20G had
been collected from the citizens to de
fray the expenses, tho response being
hearty and ull teeming to enter into tlie
spirit which the occasion prompts.
A committee of reception was ap
pointed to meet them at the Cascades us
follows: Mayor lCuck, Hon. M. A.
Moody, J. M. Patterson, G. C. Blakeley,

Mrs. T. S. Lang. Mrs. G. C. Blakeley,
Mrs. G. E. Sanders, Mrs. J. A. Mc

A letter was read from Prof. Birgfeld
in answer to a request to furnish music,
saying that he would be on hand and
furnish tho best music available. A
floor committee was appointed as fol
lows: C. L. Phillips, fljor manager, as
sisted by James Smith, J. F. Hampshire,
S. Nutting, Ciins. Frank, Jr., Henry

While these committees have been
appointed, each one is expected to ap
point himself a committee of one to seo
that the boys havo tho best time pos
sible. Now is the time to show them
how much we appreciate their service.

the "hot and stifling atmosphere"

While for a lime we did "enjoy" a few-
days when it was too warm to be real
comfortable, no doubt they were prefer
able to Astoria's "dank- aud chilling"
atmosphere, which is referred to in
another paragraph in the same paper,
