A diBpatch from Bhanlko says the Baldwin Sheep & Land Company, of Hay Creek, Crook county, will soon have all their wool in the Bhaniko ware house, the amount being estimated at 3,000,000 pounds. The firm intends to place the entire product on the market some lime in Juno and Bell it to the highest bidder. The laBt legislature fixed a severe penalty for the sale of "short weight" butter.

The river stood at .'12.2 feet at 8 o'clock this morning, a fall of nine-tenths feet since yesterday noon. Observer Beals, at Portland, announces that the fall in the river will continue for some three days to come. With the maximum temperature of tho last few days at about 08, it is poBsible, and almost prob able, that the highest water has been reached. The highest point reached last year was on the Ittth, when the gauge showed 311.2 feet above zero. Mr. A. Schorneekau, of Astoria, is anxious for a better acquaintance be tween The Dalles people and the Asto riiins, and to further this end intends to suggest to his people that they shall in vite the Dalles people to pay Astoria a visit some time in the near future, pref erably at tho opening of the Astoria commercial club, which takes place in June, or at the annual regatta, which takes place in August. It is more than probable ttiat such an invitation will be sent here in due tim, and it is quite as probable that it will he extensively ac cepted. At tho firemen's hose practice tonight the objective point will be the new hos pital building. Tho practice will be conducted on the assumption that the hospital is on fire, and the Columbia Hose Company will run a line of Iiobo from the plug at the corner of Liiughlin and Fourth streets up the steps to the hospital. Tho Jackson and East End lioso companies will unite and lay a line of hose from the cistern at the corner of Third and Laughlln up the hospital steps, while the South Side and Mount Hood hose companies will unite and lay another line of hose from a supposed file plug near Mayor Dufur's residence to the hospital. G. J. Farlov roturned laet night from Dayton, Wash., bringing with him the two saddles that were stolen from hie harness shop a couple of months ago, Ab related yesterday, tho saddles had been discovered in the hands of inno cent purchasers near fctarbuck, through the efl'orte of Sheritf Kellv. The thieves have been located and Mr. Farley looks for their capture in the near future. The thieveE there were two of them ure known to belong to a clique cf horse and cattle rustlers and all-round crooks who nre ready for anything, from steal ing a cayuse or slick-ear to capturing a whole band of either and disposing of them hundreds of miles from their na tive range. They are known to have operated for some time between Eastern Washington and widely eeparated points in Eastern Oregon, disposing of the property stolen in Washington here, and vice versa. The capture of the saddle thieves may help materially to break up the baud. The first matinee of The Dalles Driv ing Association takes place tomorrow, pursuant to the postponement of a week ago on account of the rain. The track and grounds are now in fine condition and the weather today gives promise of favorable conditions for tomorow. The attendance will undoubtedly be large, as in addition to tho presence of persons from abroad, the whole town is expected to turn out, for all the business houses will be closed and all business practic al ly suspended from 1 to (5 o'clock. Everything possible has been done to make the occasion one of pleasure. The best musicians in the city iiave been en gaged and tho trials of speed between the noblest of our domestic animals will be devoid of the gambling features that have so often made the race track re pulsive. "If the warm weather continues for ten days," said a prominent railroader recently to the Pendleton East Orego nian, "the Columbia river will be boom ing, perhaps it will be at a flood mark that will cause considerable damage. It is the seasons when the spring is rather late that the floods occur, and tliis lias been a late spring. Already the Columbia has risen enough to cause apprehension in the districts on the lower river, and some of the people liv ing along the shores are preparing for trouble. I was talking the other day witli the superintendent of the Northern Pacific railway. He asserted that the records kept by the company show that at the tunnel high up in the Cascades 141 feet of snow fell during the winter. Practically all of this enow is yet to come out, and the danger is that when it coin 's it will come all at ouce." I'KltSUNAI. .MK.VJ'ION, A. J. BrIgham,of Uufur, was in town today. Mrs. John Weigel and child returned home today from a short visit to friends in Portland. L. II. Scott, O. L. Paquet, W. H. Davis and Emile Hechlor, of Wupiuitht, were in town today. Percy Levin left today for Goldendale, where he expects to interest the local talent in putting a play on the boards.

Button Btrictly nuro liquid paints The entertainment given at the Bald win last night by the music committee of the M. E. church is deserving of special commendation. It was really a most enjoyable affair throughout. There was a good attendance, and the interest from the opening double-quartet to the closing sketch never flagged for a mo ment. The music wan excellent. The double quartet, "Dream, On," a most pleasing composition, was splendidly rendered, Mr. F. Sexton Bang in fine voice the solo "Deep Down Deep," while Misa Myrtle Michel), who is always a favorite with a Dalles audience, well merited the hearty encore she received following her solo "Too Late." The instrumental duet of Mr. Blrgfeld and Miss Schmidt was a beautiful selection and greatly ap preciated. In the Irish recitation, "Jamie Butler and the Owl," Mr. J. P. Lucas talked like a "native of the soil," and his mastetship of the "Deeetrick Slrule" was superb. After a somewhat thrilling recitation of the tragic order, Miss BulTe responded to an encore in a little catch of a serio-comic nature that showed tier talent for this class of read ing to excellent advantage. The "Deestrict Sku'.e" kept the audi ence in a roar of laughter during the en tire session, and proyed that there were some genuine artists among the pupils. The one-act sketch, "Per Telephone," at the close was not the least effective of the score, and of the cast, composed of Mr. Earl Sanders, Mr. H. E. Northup. Misses Rose Michel), Pearl Grimes and Edna Barnett, it is hard to say which excelled, each and all did so remarkably well. Taken aa a whole, the entertainment was as enjoyable an affair of its kind as lias beeu given in The Dalles for many a day. Kpgarilitii; tlio Training of l)ogn. The best dog with Norris & Rowe's shows is an orphan, found on the streets of Kansas City, Mo., and he didn't cost the show a cent. He took a liking to the show dogs and has stayed witli them ever since, it nelps a dog's understand to get knocked around a bit in the hard world, and so the cur whose parents by chance left him on the streets of Kansas City has grown up with a breadth of un derstanding that is astonishing. It is doubtful, however, if a pug, under theee very favorable conditions would he any more intellectual. The spanielB and poodles are best for trick dogs, and they can be taught to the limit of canine ca pabilities. The greyhounds do some fine jumping, and collies and others are good in their lines, but for all round work these and the nondescript speci mens of caninity, the cur, are the best. And dogs vary more than human beings in their respective faculties, some of them learning in a few lessons what others take months of careful training to acccomplisb. The best results, I have found in my long experience, can be ob tained by taking a dog juet after the frisky days of puppyhood are over. Ho doesn't know much then, but he learns quickly. In spite, however, of tho prov erb that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks, a dog that is almost grey headed can be made a very good trick dog. It takes longer, and it doesn't ac quire quite tho faculty of the youths, but ho can learn if handled right. The best way to train animals is by kind ness. Some trainers do it by whipping, as it is a quicker way, but I prefer to treat them kindly. The best way to get the best results is to make the animal think what they aro doing is fun, and if the trainer can keep them thinking so, hia success is assured."
