Supt. Gardner, of the Hoys' and Girls'
Aid Society, is in town cn his return
trip from visiting wards of the society
placed out in Gilliam, Sherman, Crook
and Wasco counties. Mr. Gardner says
that the society has in the neighborhood
of 300 children in family homes under
their immediate surveillance So far all
havo been found in good hande, attend
ing school and properly clothed. The
oflicetB of tho society consider the peo
ple of The Dalles their best friends. The
interests of the society are looked after
in this city by Judge G. C. Hlakeley
and Miss Anna Lang, although a large
number of tho leading people are inter
ested in the work. The superintendent
says that tho management feel deeply
grateful for the kindly aid given to their
support both by tho county and the
charitablv inclined citizens. All the
children committed from tills county I
are in good family homes and doing well.
From an employe of the Paul Molir
portage we learn that all the men that
can be profitably employed are at work
on tho portage. All the grading and
bridge work have been completed and
the rails have been laid on two miles of
the western end of the load. Sullicieut
ties for eight and a half miles of the
track have been received at the western
terminus, and tho remaining 7,500 are
practically on tho way. About one
third of the rails, or 1237, aro laid or are
on the ground alongside the track, and
a contract has been made with the
Dalles City to bring the remainder from
Portland as fast as that boat can carry
them. Tho company expects to place
orders today for 200,000 feet of lumber
to be used on tho incline at tho termin
man from Seattle. She was originally
from Albany and has two sisters living
in Eugene, who arrived here today on
the noon train to see Bfter her iuterment.
Yesterday was the birthday of the
"landlady" of the joint where the
woman died, and the "boarders" cele
brated the event in due style. These
things were brought out in the evidence
before -the jury and more. But why
enlarge? It is the old story and the
fitting end of a life of shame, extending
from early girlhood for fifteen or eixteen
years. No evidence was produced to
show why the woman took her own life,
and the jury returned a verdict in ac
cordance with t he few facts here recited.
The remains will be taken on the morn
ing train to Eugene for interment at
that place.
SEVERE WIND AND RaTn STORM.
.Saturday Wltiit-NI an UmiMial Storm
In th Inland Kmjilre.
A eloud-buret, preceeded by a storm
of wind that almost rose to the propor
tions of a cyclone, visited, laet Saturday
afternoon, a strip of country lying be
tween Fifteen and Eight Mile creeks and
extended from there in a northeasterly
direction to the Columbia river. The
amount of damage done is not yet fully
known, but it must be considerable.
From various sources we have gathered
the following particulars, whicn may be
modified or corrected by later reports :
The warehouse of the Dufur flouring
mill was blown down and wrecked. It
contained a large quantity of flour and
feed, which, happily, was not materially
injured. Hail fell to a depth of more
than a foot on the ridge between Dufur
and Eight Mile, beating down to the
earth hundreds of acres of standing
grain and cutting oil' the heads of wheat
and barley as if with a knife. The hail
in places had not melted till twenty
four hours after the storm. In boine
places rocks were moved and piled up
in heaps that weighed from a ton down.
The ft nit trees in one orchard on the
ridge were blown out by the roots.
Johnston Pros., of Dufur, estimate the
damage done to their grain crop at .f 1500.
Other crops were damaged to a lesser
extent. Water ilowtd through tho
etieet at Dufur a foot deep.
At Dry Hollow, between Hoyd and
Dufur, tho storm etruck a six horte
team, driven by a Warm Springs Indian.
The leaders, a span of mules, turned
short, broke the reach of the lead wa
gon and piled the entire team and front
wheels of the wagon in a ditch some ten
us at the big eddy. Tliev hope to have I feet deep. The horses and mules were
the entire work completed and tho road
open for traflio by tho first ol August.
Coroner Units held an inquest this
forenoon on the body of a woman who
died yesterday evening in a house of ill
fame in this city from tho effects of a
dose of carbolic acid administered by
her own hand and, according to the
evidence submitted to the jury, with
suicidal intent. The woman's maiden
uaine wjmi Clara Hard, but she was
kuowo hero as Dickie Wood. She came
here week ago with a fellow named
Campbell, who claims to be a railroad
barely out of the ditch when a Hood of
water came rushing along that would
have drowned the whole outfit.
A flood of water six feet in depth ran
through the Frank Huot barn at Eight
Mile, and with difficulty a number of
horses in the barn were cut loose and
saved. The chickens on the Huot runch
were swept away and most of them de
stroyed. The apples in the Drake or
chard, half a mile this side of Eight
Mile creek, were beaten oil" the trees by
the hail and ecattered by the wind and
washed by the flood all over the road

between the orchard and the creek.
Later Saturday alternoon apparently
the same storm struck the railroad track
this side of the Deschutes and covered it
from two to three feet deep with sand
and rocke to tuch a distance that it took
fifty men all Saturday night to clear the
track.
A teamster brings in word that a
cloud-burst struck him Saturday after
noon on the Sherar grade, this side the
Deschutes, and that to save his team
from being washed away he had to un
hitch then! and take them to higher
ground.
The peculiar thing about the storm
was that it followed no well defined
path. It was worst in the draws and
hollow places; but, apart from the few j
spots where it rageu with most violence,
the rainfall was more of a benefit than
an injury. The Tygh ridge country
suffered no injury that we have heard i
of, but had a rainfall that was highly
beneficial. .
