Huntington is em ployed .temporarily in getting this work completed. A new flat-boat is being built on the beach near the Umatilla House. When completed it will be used by Mr. Sam. Klien and Mr. J.

Genuine African Ostrlche to be Seen With the Great Syndicate Circus. ? Giant African ostriches are a great curiosity, and but few of them have ever been seen in this country, and they live but a short while owing to the rigor of the climate. The big birds usually called ostriches, now so ' extensively bred on the so called ! ostrich farms of California, are really ! npt ostriches. They belong to the same species, but are a morgrel branch : of the true family. Its native place is i Australia and not Africa, and the birds : are really an emu, and is only about half the size of the ostrich, and has ' not the brilliant and luxurious plumage of the latter bird. , i The onlv flock of African" ostriches ' In America is bwned by the Great Syndicate Circus, whose well-known circus exhibits in The Dalles, Satur day, July 6. Six of them were im ported by these managers, and they are a wonderful feature. Each is as large as a horse, and can easily outrun that animal. This popular circus is a three-ring show, and it also has a great hippo drome track on which exciting races are run. This year prioes have been reduced to 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. . The Kansas Peat Mr. Thomas Gilmore, who lives near Rockland, Wash., came into the office Saturday afternoon and informed us that grass-hoppers are playing sad havoc with crops in his vicinity. They have demolished ' fields of standing grain, and are making - inroads on vineyards. Information from Colum bus also says that they have made their appearance there, and literally cover the land near the little town. They are truly an army of destruction, and leave the land through which they pass completely bare of vegetation, except iwrham a few leaflens stalks in fields. where there was a promise of a heavy yield of grain. In this county they are destroying the larmers' prospects for crops, and if they are not stopped soon the yield of grain will be very light. Some men are cutting their wheat for hay to save it from the raven ous grasshoppers. The following recipe for poisoning them is said to have been used with good results in Cali forniai Twenty-five pounds middlings; 25 pounds of bran: 25 pounds of arse nic: 3 gallons of molasses. Mix thor oughly and deposit about a tablespoon full of the mixture at the root of each vine. Reception to Grand Officers. Last Saturday evening a reception was tendered the grand officers, resi dents of this city, by the members of James W. Nesmith post, G. A. R., and the W. R. C. These officers were Mrs. Mary Myers, grand president; Miss Jennie Russell, grand secretary and Mrs. Briersrs, grand treasurer. The exercises were properly opened, when Mrs. J. M. Patterson stepped forward. and, after a few appropriate remarks presented each of the grand officers with a handsome bouquet of flowers. This was followed by an instrumental piece on the piano by Mrs. G. C. Eshel- man, and each ot tne recipients ot toe flora gifts responded in a very neat and becoming speech. Ice cream was then served to those present, and tne pro gramme ended with a vocal duet d Mesdames B. S. Huntington and A. Varney. Afterwards a general social time was enjoyed, interspersed with soners and short speeches, and when the hour for retiring arrived each one present declared that a more agreeable evening had never been spent by the members of the Women's Relief Corps in The Dalles. The German Concert. Last eveniner at the opera house the members of the Oesang Verein and m vited guests enjoyed a rare musical treat. There were present thirty-two members of the singing section of the Turn Verein or Portland, under the management of Prof. Eugene Steb- inger, a thorough musician, graduated irem a tferman conservatory. - The singing was in the German language and comprised some of the choicest se lections..

Prof. Stebinger is entitled to especial praise lor the masterly manner in which he had drilled the singing sea tion, and the vocal solo by Mr. Rekate is worthy of particular mention. Cote Salmon. '" . The salmon run Is said by fishermen to be much better than the catch would indicate. They assert that the fish have become educated and understand all the trick9 of the trade. One fisher man solemnly asseverated on his hon or as a truthful fish biographer that at every fish-wheel three or four big sal mon were found herding their younger brothers around them, and tnat they traveled in regular army style with ad vance guards, and went into camp at night to avoid the nets. Another stated that every bunch of them had an almanac and checked up the days keeping cases on the time when the wheels will be raised and the nets hung up to dry, which will be on Au gust 10th, and that then there will be a move for the BDawniner grounds. Seufert's are catching from 700 to 1000 pounds a day, barely enough to supply the local market. - - 1 AN OLD iIRCTORT.

I have noticed in nearly all the writings of visitors tb our schools this faet. VVLy is it? I believe you were a, scholar tt that time in the Union public school were you not? in a uiroctory oi JJallss (Jity lor ltsuo (thirty years ago) issued by George Owens are to be found the names of the following residents, who are still making this city their home: J.

McNulty, captain, were running between The Dalles and Cascades at that time. In the description of Dalles City the directory says: '"Dalles City is pleas antly situated oif the south side of the Columbia river, and is a place of muun trade. The travel and freight for Idaho, Canyon City and the Kootenai mines pass through the city, which renders it a place of considerable busi ness. Its climate is subject to sudden changes. Its public school is one of the best in the state. Estimated popu lation ;2o00. "The Methodist church is located on Washington street. It was built in lb62 by Rev. J. F. Devoe, who was pastor till July 1863, when he was suc ceeded by Rev. B. C. Lippincott. "The Congregational church is situ ated on Third, east of Washington. It was built in the fall of lbS2. Rev.

Number of scholars, between 250 and 300; average attendance, 225. "The first newspaper published at The Dalles was called The Dalles Jour nal. It passed into the hands of W. H. Newell in 1859, the present 1865 editor and proprietor. The nanie was changed to The Dalles Weekly in I860. The first copy of the Daily MOUN TAINEER was issued August 11, 1862, by the proprietor of Tlie Dalles Weehly."

An Old Inhabitant. LECTCBE ON JAPAN. Instructive Address on the History and Customs of the Japanese. There was a good audience at the Congregational church last evening to listen to the address of Mr. Sann I. Hirota, on his native land, Japan, and he was listened to with marked atten tion until the close. After the devo tional exercises Mr. Hirato was intro duced, and spoke for fully an hour-on the history of his country. With a small outline map he described the situation of the Island Empire, with the Pacific on the west and China and Siberia on the east. In the year 700 B. C. the empire was established by the conquest of the native tribes by a hereditary chief in the southern part of the archipelago. The present Mi kodo is the 123d lineal descendant of the conqueror. In the middle ages the fehdal system prevailed, the same as in parts of Europe, and continued until 1866. In that year a revolution took place, and the mikado established I his full control of the islands and granted buo ueuuit) a cuusuiiuuuu. Western civilization first gained footing about thirty years -ago, induced by the visit of Commodore Perry and the treaty made with the United States at that time. It has made steady pro gress ever since, and has now a free school system and several good col leges and universities. After a brief description of the customs of the Jap anese, he dwelt at some length on the recent war with China, and the causes which led to that great struggle. Corea was under the protection of Japan, and was rapidly becoming civi lized. This aroused the .jealousy of unina, and several outrages were com mitted which - forced Japan to begin tne war in wnicn sne was victorious in every battle on sea and on land. This was the third conflict with the great empire, and it is expected will be the last. Mr. Hirota had a fair command of English, and every part rf the ad' dress was understood, except when he rendered some oi the native songs. Grain Prospects. From parties who arrived from Gol dendale yesterday, we learn that grain in Klickitat county is in excellent con dition, and the warm weather has caused no injury. Gaasshoppers have made, their appearance only on one faro . north of the summit, and that is at Mr. Price's. Late frosts did some damage to vegetables and fruits; but there is every indication or wheat hav ing a good yield. The season is later in Klickitat than in Wasco, and the warm days last week had the effect to impel the growth of grain. It is to be hoped that the present cool weather is beneficial to grain in Wasco, and, if rain has fallen, has stopped the rava ges of the grasshoppers. There is a possibility yet that there will be a fair yieid of gram in some portions of the county.. Started Out Tonns;. Little Willie Salvage, the six-year- old son oi dick sal rage, says the Day ton Courier, was missed from home on Sunday and a thorough search about the city failed to discover his where abouts. Upon the arrival of the even ing train from Walla Walla it was learned that a little boy answering his description had been noticed to get off the cars at that point. By telegraph ing it was further ascertained that the young traveler was in charge of the officials at Walla Walla depot, who were willing to turn him over to any one who could prove property. Mr. and Mrs. Salvage departed for Walla Walla on the following morning. where they found little "Jumbo" as comfortable as a bug in a rug, but was willing to come home and be a good Doy m tne iuture. . . A Telephone Line. Messrs. Seufert & Condon have com' pietea arrangements ior building a telephone line into the country south oi us, ana win eventually extend It to rTinevme ana perhaps canyon City. The pols have been ordered and should have been here ere this. As soon as they arrive work will be com menced and the line completed as far as Kingsley inside of two weeks. This will prove a great convenience both to our business men and to the people along the line, and will prove an im? portant factor both in drawing busi ness to The Dalles and holding" it. Some of thepe days it will be railroads instead of telephone lines that will radiate from this natural center. After Twenty-Three Years. Mr, (J. r. Williams, a stock; grower and rancher of Fox Valley, Grant with a load of wool for McCurren Bros, D Tobjl nav. savs the Democrat. This is Mr. Williams' first visit here in twenty-three years, and when Been by a reporter he was trying to locate him self. The only building that he could recognize was the Grier stables. The town had completely outgrown all his expectations and from the struggling hamlet of only two or three hundred people a city had grown with a popula tion of over 4000. Mr. Williams was engaged in freighting between Uma tilla landing and Baker City in the old days and he yet remembers the names of a few of the men then in busi ness here. AND STILL THEY GO. Two More Kimball' Find Homes in The Dalles. J Another gentleman puts down the twenties and takes one of those ele gant mottled walnut pianos, and an other gentleman takes that beautiful walnut organ with French plate mir ror. Others will go out thisatternoon. If you expect to get one of these in struments now being sold by the fac tory, make up your mind quick, and come and see us and we will fix you out. Remember we take old pianos and organs in part payment for new pianos, and give you time on the bal ance if you want it. W. W. Kimball Co., old Chronicle building, - Bounding Up Horse Thieves. The Walla Walla Union says: "Sheriff Baldwin, of Garfield county, has been rounding up horse thieves for the last few days. He now has four of them in jail at Pomeroy and a dep uty sheriff from Spokane goes there today and will take them up to Spokane to be tried for stealing a lot of excellent horses from a man at Rockford on May 29th. While in the vicinity of Pomeroy this gang of thieves had been stealing saddles, bri dies and so on. One of them will be tried at Pomeroy for stealing a saddle. This is one of the gang that had a cache at Rock creek. We hope and trust justice will not be robbed, neither shall it be, unless rope is dearer in the upper country than it is with us." The Dalles Horses Win. At the Irviugton Park races, Port land, which have been in progress for several davs and will continue until the 6th of July, The Dalles and vicin ity have scored three victories. Jim Crow, owned by Mr. William Gilmore, of Rockland, has won two races, and Mamie S.. trained and owned bv A, M. Allen of this city, has been victor in one. These races were hotly con' tested, and entries were made of some of the best horses in the Willamette valley.. For a number of years our horsemen have had fine thorough bred animals, and we are pleased to note the fact that their racing quali ties are becoming known. Before the Irvington Park races close we expect to score one or more victories for horses from this neighborhood. Shot by Accident. Says the East Oregonian: August Sigmond and John Gergen, butchers employed by Platzoeber & Minger, went down to their slaughter house to kill a beef animal. Sigmond was to kill the steer with a rifle, and after it had been put inside, Gergen went out side and closed the door. Sigmond then shot at the animal, and as it threw its head wildly about, struck it on one of the horns, the bullet glanc ing, passing through the door and entering the leg of Gergen. The ball passed through the flesh and inflicted quite a wound, though it is thought not an extremely dangerous one. Gergen was taken to his room and placed under the physician's care and is getting along very nicely. Complimentary. The Klickitat Republican pays the following compliment to one of the teachers recently engaged for the public s ihools of this city: "Miss Brydolf,who won a very warm place in the hearts of her pupils while teaching a term of school in this city has been engaged to teach in The Dalles. . We congratulate Miss Bry dolf as well as The Dalles on this ap pointment. Miss Brydolf is earnestly devoted to the profession which she adorns, and to which, like the poet, she was doubtless born. At any rate she has the knack of capturing the hearts of the little people,and through this means very successfully cultivat ing their young minds." The Visit of the Tuners. The members of the Turn Verein of Portland arrived in the city last even ing on the boat. They were met at the Locks by The Dalles Orchestra band, and on the return of the Regula tor to this city were escorted through the street by the band. Here they were tasen in cnarge oy inenas, who exemplified that hospitality to visitors for which The Dalles enjoys an envi able reputation. The Turners re turned to Portland this morning on the boat, well pleased with their visit, and the hospitable manner in which they were received and treated by the members oi tne uesang- verein Mar moine of this city. Lecture Sunday Night. Mr. Ichiro Hirota has recently made a lecture tour of the valley, and will speak in the Congregational church tomorrow night. He comes to us highly recommended. The Hillsboro Argus comments as ioiiows: "x ne lecture on Japan by Sann I. Hirota, at the Con gregational church last Friday even ing was attended by a large audience, and was attentively listened to. The speaker proved himself to be a very lucid and entertaining talker, his articulation being quite pure and easily understood, except when he indulged in songs and selections of his native tongue. His lecture tour this summer should prove a great success. ' A Postmaster on Trial. The Evening Telegraph says: Ernest Waterman, of Caleb, in Grant countv. is on trial in the United States court for stealing $50 from the postofflce at that place. Waterman was assistant postmaster in April of 1894. un April 7 two letters came to the office, one addressed to Oscar Hill, con taining iuu, ana one to uanes s Wil son, to be forwarded to Mitchell for them. Both letters disappeared, and it i3 believed by the United States attorney and the grand iurv. which indicted Waoerman, that he stole the money. The case will Drobablv eo to the Jury this afternoon, and a verdict will be rendered this evening. For Sale. One four year old Jersey bull; also one twenty months old.
