They camped in the mountains, and
pretended to have followed bunting and

Hijcb water- 1
It ia very likely that 1894 will be one o.
tbe flood years in the itory of Tbe Dalles,
and possibly the water may reaoh a higher
mark than it did in 1876. Reports from
Umatilla state that on the 24th the river
stood 23 8 feet and on the 25th 25 feet
above low water mark. Warm weather is
being experienced throughout the Inland
Empire, and at Biker City tbe temper
ature yesterday wat the tame at here

nual freshet. This morning the guage at
tbe wharf indicated 41 feet above low water
and several more feet will be added to this
wben the increased volume of water report
ed in tbe dispatches reaches thit point..
Persons say the foot bill are still covered
with snow, and warm weather .will soon
convert this into water. Ic ia yet early in
the season for tbe highest mark to be
reached, but from present indications before
tbe middle of June tbe extreme limit will
be attained. ,
Farther Particulars.
The accounts published of. the accident
that resnlted in the death of Mr. W. A.
Semple last Tuesday evening.Jhave been er
roneous. We were informed yesterday by
Mr. M. Doyle that no blast had been made
in .the rock for over two hours, and that it
had not been disintegrated by a firmer ex
plosion. Mr. Doyle advised the boys to go'
home and do no more that eveaing. They
thought thev could drill the hole a little
deeper before tbey left it, aod were both on
the rock when they felt it moviug. Mr,
Ralph Dolpb, in jumping from the moving
mast wat hurled a distance oi 30 or 40 feet
down the embankment, and Mr. Sample was
last teen on the rock, with arms extended.
just as it struck a jutting ridge ia its de
scent, and was hurled to the bottom of the
creek. He was dead when found and there
was no stone on him or signs of any bruises!
He was lying parallel with tbe stream with
a portion of his body in the water. Tbe
aiasi of rock was about 8 feet thick, and
had an area of about 10x12 teet on the sur
face. Evans and Sontag. ,
The play of Evans and Sontag was pre
sented last night at the Baldwin opera
house to a fair audience. There appeared
to be an entire absence of plot, and the
aesnes consisted of exciting events in tbe
lives of these two men while they were es
caping from the officers of tbe law. Tbe
character! of Chris Evans, 'Lisb Perkins,
and the old lady were well taken, and in
these parts there was tome clever acting.
Miss Evans took her part fairly well, but
improvement could be made. The tendency
of the play is to make heroes of two desper
ate biddjts, fonnd guilty of great crimes,
aod this is the objeoti nal feature to its ren
dition before an audience of boys who are
forming character on correct or incorrect
bases. ' There is nothing immoral in the
language or acting, but tbia kind of hero
worship with the young should be discoun
tenanced byeyery possible means.
Tbe Robbers Seen.
The three men who robbed Mays & Crow's
store were met about half-past 8 o'clock the
tarn - morning htteen miles irom ine JJailes
On Five mile cre?k. They had eaten break
fast, saddled their horses and were prepir
inz to start on their journey. There were
four horses, three were used for riding pur
poses, and one was a pace animal, lbe
ime parties saw them the evening before.
but thev said they intended to go to Salt
Lake and hunt deer.' They had fed well,
and had with them seme choice beef. The
yomg man who gave this infoimation said
he and his companion had been fishing at
the creek, and did not learn of the robbery
until the evening afterward when they came
to town. Where the robbers camped is
about six miles from the mow, and it will
be impossible for them to cross the mouo
tains in that direction. They must either
cross tbe Deschutes op the Watolis about
forty-five miles from the Warm Springs
agency. At the latter plaoe is a bridge
across the stream, but this is reached by a
blind trail, known only to Indians. It ia
not known whit direction the robbers
took, and it is most difficult to locate them
at this late date. ' '
Flood Years.
The rapid rise in the river in the last few
days has brought tbe question of high water
up for discussion. As there appears to be
considerable difference of opinion regarding
"flood years" and the heigth attained above
low water mark, we copy the following sta
tistics from the Times-Mocjtaineer An
nual, published in 1885, the data for which
was very carefully collected: "In 1862 very
high water was experienced, submerging'
Front and Second street and reauhing to
Third. Again in 1866 the river overflowed
tbe city, and the same experience was had
in 1871. Tbe highest puint yet reached by
the flood was on June, 23,1876, when it
reached 51 feet, 3 inches above low water
mark. July 2, 1880, was the date of the
next flood, and it marked 48 feet, 7J inches.
and in 1882, June 14th, 48 feet 2 inches."
These figures were compiled from . trust
worthy sources, and there can be no doubt
of their correctness. Iu 1832 the oouncil
ordered tbe grade of the streets of the city
raised above the mark of the flood of 1876,
and little fear need be entertained of any
further damage to property by reason of the
June fret bet.
Accident In Bridge Creek. .
Mrs, E. Scbutz, mother of Mr. William
Cowne, received a letter from him dated
May 17th, in which it it stated that in at
tempting to cross Bridge creek with his
wagon tbe water proved too deep and he
lost everything. He ' states that nothing
was saved from the vehicle except the
orange basket and the cushion. The teat
washed down the stream, also one wheel.
and it was only after almost superhuman
exertions that the horses were rescued from
drowning. He tried to find some of the
articles along tbe bank of the stream, bat
only discovered one box and it was empty.
The wagon, with three wheels, was hauled
out of the water, but the bed was empty.
In saving the horses and wagon the tongue
was broken, and this made it more difficult
to manage the vehicle. The yonng man
said that he was all right and would reach
his borne at Cileb the next day. All
streams are very high at this season of the
year, and those that were formerly fordable
are now turbulent torrents.
"Who Began This Flgnt?"
The following is a good story of tbe la
mented Lincoln, and which we have not
teen in print for many years:
Crossing a field one day President Lin
coln, it it laid, waa pursued by an angry
bull. He made for the fence, says Life's
Calendar, but soon discovered tbat the bull
was overtaking bim. Be then began to run
round a haystack iu the field and the bull
pursued him, but in making the short cir
cles aronnd the stack Lincoln was the fatter
tnd, instead of the boll catching him, be
caught the bull and grabbed him by the
tail. It was a firm grip and a controlling
one. tie began to kick the bull aod the
bull bellowed with agony aud dashed across
the field. Lincoln banging to his tail and
kicking him at every jump, and as tbey
flew along Lincoln yelled at the bull:
"Darn 'you, who begm this fight?"
Military matters.
Last night there was battalion drill of G
Co., and there were in line a good represen
tation of the members of tbe company, Col.
Thompson and staff, aud Captain Chrisman
and Lieutenant MoAvoy. Tbe military
movements were very interesting to those
who still possessed the war spirit that
"makes ambition a virtue." After perform
ing several maneuvret ia tbe armory, at
which there wat pretent quite a number of
apectatori, the men marched ont and went
through military tactics on the street.
While the drill may not have been ao per
fect at that executed by regular troop), yet
it demonstrated the fact tbat our young
men are taking an interest in military mat
ters, and are trying to excel in the manual
of arms.
"Ten people out of a dozen are invalids,'
says a recent medical authority. At least
eight out of these ten, it is safe to allow. re

invalid. .

The armory at Hood River last night
was crowded by ladies and gentlemen to
hear a discussion of the issues of the day
by Hon.' C. W. Fulton. His speeches in
different parts of the state has given this
gentleman a wide reputation, and every
one realizes that in listening to him they
will hear a full and fair discussion of the
question agitating the people of Oregon.
Prof. C. L. Gilbert, president of the
Hood River McKinley club, introduced
the speaker of the evening in a few well
chosen remarks. Mr Fulton spoke of
the tariff policy of the Republican party
in relation to American industries, and
showed wherein it had firmly established
these, and at the same time cheapened
the cost to the consumer, mentioning in
particular steel rails and wire nails.
Speaking of the Wilson tariff bill, he said
it did not fulfil the promises of the Dem
ocratic party made during the last cam
paign, and when it was before the
finance committee, people from the
southern states besieged the committee
rooms asking for protection for indus
tries in which they were interested. The
men from South Carolina and Louisiana
desired duty on rice and sugar, and their
wishes were satisfied. But wool, a great
staple product of the northwest, was
placed on the free list. The member
from Troy, New York, received recog
nition because he stated that if his dis
trict did not receive proper attention it
would never return another Democrat to
congress. He thoroughly dissected the
tariff reform policy of the Democratic
party, and showed wherein it was injuri
ous to the best interests of the American
people.
After he had made plain the positions
of the Democratic and Republican par
ties on the national economic policy,
he directed some oi his time to Gov.
Pennoyer and the campaign he was
making throughout the state. He is
disclaiming against Judge Lord for re
ceiving more than his constitutional sal
ary as a member of the supreme court,
while the executive is receiving over
$1800 in excess of the amount given him.
In this regard he is extremely inconsist
ent, and is playing the demagogue to
delude the voters. The governor had
only vetoed two bills during the last
legislature, and others he had permitted
to become law 3 by reason of the lapse of
time. , One of the measures to which he
had affixed his signature, was allowing
appropriations for salaries and in which
he himself was mentioned for an ad
ditional one thousand dollars to the
amount he was already receiving. Mr.
Fulton showed in several instances
where the present executive had received
extra sums in excess of the $1500 consti
tutionally allowed him.
He spoke of the fiat money theory of
the Populists, and said that the value
of any paper, whether issued by the gov
ernment, bank or individual, depended
upoi; the fact of its redemption. If the
government greenback, bank-check or
individual note had no probability of re
demption it became worthless as a me
dium of exchange. The Law scheme in
France exploded the fallacy of the finan
cial schemes based on fiat money. It is
the demand of this third party for the
government to issue sufficient money to
give each individual $50. Populists say
the stamp of the government is all that
is necessary to make money. If this is
correct, the speaker .said, why not man
ufacture enough money to 'make every
man rich. The only extra cost would be
the price of the paper, ink and the print
ing. Poverty would be abolished, and
riches would be the common lot of all.
Mr. Fulton thoroughly exposed the fal
lacies of the Populist party, and showed
it to be absolutely unsafe and unsound
in its financial theories,
He was listened to with the greatesi
attention throughout, and was frequeut
ly applauded. His speech undoubtedly
left a good impression upon the people,
and will bear fruit on. election day in
June. After he had closed, Mr. W. H.
Leeds,. Republican candidate for state
printer ,and Hon. A. A. Jayne, the nomi
nee for district attorney, occupied a short
time and Mr. John Michell ended the
meeting with a five minutes speech and
closed the exercises by proposing three
cheers for the Republican party. Several
persons present were forced to take the
10 o'clock train for this city, and this
rendered it necessary to confine the re
marks of each' speaker to alimited time.

from where the" accident occurred. De

sided with his widowed mother. He was
well known in this vicinity, and bore the
reputation of being an honest and indus
trious young man. Mr. Doyle, fortunately
escaped with no injuries other than a few
scratches.
Hood River.
About twenty miles west of The Dalles
is situated the beautiful little town of
Hood River, well known all over the
country for the excellence of its fruits
It bas heretofore had a well-established
reputation as a summer resort, but of late
years its strawberries, peaches, prunes,
plums and apples have given it a wide
reputation, and thousands of acres are
being cleared annually and devoted to
fruit culture. The situation is very de
lightful. Back of the high table land
rises tbe sno'w peaks of the Cascades, and
the majestic Columbia washes the sandy
beach in front. Beautiful groves of shade
trees, with gurgling springs and sparkling
streams, are met with constantly, and
these make Hood River a spot of Arca
dian beauty if not of Arcadian simplicity
Mr. Nathaniel Coe settled in the valley
in 1854, and for many years was the only
settler. His son, Captain H. C. Coe, with
his family, still live on the eld homestead
and is one of the principal factors of the
development of the town.
Hon. E. L. Smith resides in the suburbs
of the town, in a beautiful location, and
has all tbe comforts of a city home. He
wa9 formerly secretary of Washington
territory, register of the U. S. laud office
at The Dalles, and speaker of the Oregon
legislature during tbe session of 1891. Of
late years he has not actively engaged in
politics, but enjoys his home with his
cultured wife and interesting family.
The future of the town is very bright,
and it mav be expected in a few years to
have double its present population, with
many factors of development in operation

Crop-Weather Bulletin.
The following is the report for Rasters
Oregon for the week ending Tuesday,
May 22, 1891, by S. M. Blandlord, ob
server weather bureau: .
The daily temperature departure from
the average was four degrees cooler. The
precipitation" was slightly excessive in
the Columbia and Walla Walla valleys.
It was greatly in excess throughout the
central and southeastern counties.
. Crops in the Columbia river yalley
counties are . making an encouraging
progress." The cool weather during the
previous three weeks and the first four
days of last week was having an evil in?
fluence on the grain crop, but the week
having terminated in warm weather crops
have renewed their rapid growth and as
sumed a healthy color again. The ground
it, saturated with moisture from the re
cent rains and with warm, sunny weather
the most rapid advancement should he
expected. Farmers are forecasting a
bountiful harvest ot cereals and' hay. A
heavy frost occurred on the morn ine of
thn 17lh, which injured strawberries.
Other fruits are not materially injured.
Cherries are thickly set in many parts of
the valley. Many farmers have com
pleted summer-fallowing.' Gardens have
been planted. . Late potatoes are being
planted. The outlook is encouraging.
In tbe interior counties coal,' cloudy
weather with heavy rain delayed farming
operations and retarded the growth ot
yegetation. It has not been found neces
sary to irrigate in many sections owing
to the moisture from natural causes,
bbould the weather become warm the
greatest possible advancement would be
made in all crops. Spring-sown wheat
covers the ground. Fall-sown . has a
promising appearance. Alfalfa is grow
ing nicely. Orchards are in full bloom.
The prune acreage is being increased.
Sheep shearing is progressing slowly
owing to cool- weather. The season is
considered later than the average, though
the crops will mature in the average time
if favorable weather condi'ions prevail.
A Fatal Rock Slide.
Late yesterday afternoon Walter Sem
ple, who, together with Mr. R. Doyle was
doing some work on the county road a
few miles west of the city, was instantly
killed.
lhe accident happened at a place
known as Chalk hill, where the men were
at work widening the road by blasting
out rock. It appears that one blast had
been discharged and tbe men were pre
paring for another blast above the first
one, when the mass of rock upon which
tbey were standing gave way and precip
itated them to the creek bottom some dis
tance below. '
-The body of Mr. Semple was taken
from the debris in a badly mangled con-
He Will Get There.
Tbe nomination of Judge Lord for gov
ernor calls to mind an amusing an d possibly
prophetic incident that occurred some years
ago on the Bull Ron and dandy stage. He
had been out on tbe line and was returning
to Portland, when tbe driver, Leon Coben,
being ia somewhat of a hurry to reach the
city before dusk, touched np his horses with
the whip and pnt them through at a lively
rate. The wheels touobed tbe high and
low spots in the road in such rapid succes
sion as to seyerely test the springs and keep
the occupant of the stage bouncing absnt
its interior like a rubber ball. Finally tbe
driver slackened his speed and Judge Lord
thrust his head out to expostulate, but just
then the whip cracked again, the horses
jumped into a run, and as the judge was
jerked violently back into his seat, be heard
the driver shout: "My Lord, sit still and
you will get there."
' Accident on tne John Days.
Word was brought to Biker City Monday,
says the Democrat, of the loss of a stage and
four horse "and mail by the washing out of
the main bridge spanning the John Day
river between Prairie City and Canyon City,
Grant connty, . The accident bappended
last Saturday. The driver had no sooner
gotten his team on the bridge wben tbe
structure gave away, its foundation having
been washed out, and stage, horses, mail
and bridge went down tbe wild stream. It
was only by the merest chance that the
driver escaped a watery grave. The stage
outfit was owned by Mr. Thomas McEwan,
mail contractor. His loss is heavy and one
that Grant county should make good as far
as possible.
"lVll Communications," mtc
The Dalles, May 24, 1894.
Editor Tms-MouHTAumu:
Published in a Dalles Chronicle of recent
date was an article in regard to the home
training and influence of the yonng fellows,
accused of robbing Mays & Crowe's hard
ware store.
Haying been a schoolmate of Walter
Rowe tor a number of years 1 am able to
correct that statement, for in school be was
always honorable and gentlemanly, and this
late offense must have been the result of
associating with wild companions, and not
the fault of home influence; therefore, the
blame cannot justly fall en his parents.
