A repetition of Col Sinnott's . won
derful trip"" across" Vthe' river on" the
backs of salmon ' came near occuring
yesterday. Louie Brown was going
down to. his fish wheel in a boat, and
found his progress impeded by' salmon
that wouldn't get out of- his way. He
says the river was literally alive with
fish. . - ", . ' ; ' ,5
", I. Sichel, one of tbe leading .mer
chants of Prineville, accompanied by
his sister, Mrs. E. Sichel, and her son,
arrived . in the ' city this morning.

Portland, Whiln Mr. Sichel ' remained
here to attend to the delivery of 2,000
head of cattle which he recently sold
to Montana buyers, and which will ar

sens look unusually happy. The reason
is that The Dalles is the best town on
the coast and when bills are presented
a crook of the elbow and a reach into
the pocket seldom fails to find the
sound money with which to liquidate,
The river is still coming up making
a rise of two tenths of a fot since y.-s
day morning. .Yesterday's report gav
a rise of three tenths at' Umatilla
which would give at least five tenth
here yet. This would set the mark a
trifle above 43 feet, and therefore a
few inches above the previous high-
water mark of this year.
There came near being a decided
tumble in goods this morning at
Harris' store.' The shelving on one
side of the room leaned outward and
in a moment more would have fallen
for war 1 onto the show cases. As it
was props were placed under them and
Mr. Anderson with a force of carpeu
ters soon had them braced back into
place and fastened.
The bulk of Hood River's straw
berries have been shipped, but they
are still going east at the rate of from
200 tu 300 crates a day. The crop con
trary to expectations proved a light
one, but the total shipments will not
fall far short, if at all, of 15,000 crates
The' prices have been good and it ia
safe to say that $40,000 have been left
in our thrifty little neighboring town
by this crop alone.
-Yesterday Herrick's cannery
handled about 10 tons of salmon put
ting up 305 cases. Today the run has
weakened . or rather the catch has,
only about 5 tons being received.
The salmon have a fashion of laying
off when tbe water is coming up and
this is probably - tbe reason for the
present strike.. Reports from the
lower river are that the bluebacks are
coming in plentifully.
Since McKinley was nominated the
nails in the sidewalks have been com
ing up' until they are now on an aver
age two inches above their business.
The result is that' along about dusk,
you can hear first the dull sickening
thud of some pedestrian's toe against
the nail, followed by the expressive
formula "Welllllbeiam" if said ped
estrian is of the male persuasian. but
if a female the . expression is smothered,
but deep, yet strong a though it were
smothered in - onions like a steak.
Either the nails -should be driven
down, or tbe sidewalks lifted up to a
level with them.

urslou tomorrow and will o to Hood

the boat reaches Hood River a con car
will be given in front of the'Mt. Hood

The Ea9t End presented a very busy
appearance this morning, for the rea,

Two candidates were initiated, and
notwithstanding the fact that it was
tbe evening of Miss Elliott's musicale,
there were about 60 members present,
and a delightful and profitable even
ing was spent. The retiring chief of
honor stated in her report that thirty
new members had been added during
the term, and there are now more than
130 members in good standing. D. of
H. lodges are established in nearly
every town in the state, and The Dalles
lodge has the honor of being the ban- j Stubling, W

now permanently located in its new
castle, tbe dedication ceremonies hav,
ing been duly conducted by repr
seutatives of the grand lodge Tuesday
night. The dedication services were
most imposing, and were witnessed by
a large number of the members of the
lodge with their families together
with representatives from neighboring
lodges, but before gmng an account
of the ceremonies it is probably well
to describe tbe hall.
The main lodge room is 371x571 and
occupies a po-tion of the second floor
of the new Vogt building, while to
the east is the banquet ball 274x30,
connected with the main hall by large
sliding doors. The main hall is fur
nished throughout with new fixtures,
that have cost the lodge in the neigh'
borhood of 31.000 and are very elegant,
The canopies are of the finest material,
and are suspended from gold and white
moulding, while in each is suspended
an incandescent light of the color cor

is of Oregon cedar finished in natural
color, and the chairs and pedestals.
which are neatly carved, are of the
same color as the wood work, present'
ng a handsome combination through
out. Tbe ball certainly. is a credit to
the orde", one in which every member
may justly take pride.
The dedication ceremonies were
commenced by Chancellor Commander
Crowe calling the assemblage to order,
and instructing Master at Arms Smith
attend the representatives of the
grand officer. ..When the grand offi
cers were introduced tbe body w as pre
sleed over by Judge W. L. Bradshaw,
representing the grand chancellor
commander, and an appropriate ode
was sung by the lodge, then the im
pressive dedicatory ceremonies of the
order were conducted by the grand of
ficers. These ceremonies were followed by
a schollarly address by Hon. John
Mlchell, in which he outlined the for
mation of the order, its aims and pur
poses. . Next William Crossen sang
"Out on the Deep," and responding to
a hearty encore rendered that happy
melody "Thursday." Tbe orchestra
produced fine selections after which
Mrs. J. B. Huntington sang "When
the Tide Comes in," and being vigor
ously encored sang "Won't You Telff
Me Why Bobbin?" The next number
on the program was a quartet of male !

a large stream known as 'Nigerhead.'
and the latter runs about six miles
through a box canyjn, emptying into

Any more claims bolng taken ou tbe
reek, consequently it is hardly worth
while for anyone to go there. The

as McCoy creek is concerned it is a
waste of time for those not already

He Takes Advantage of the Bonnty on
Coyote Scalps to Raise tne Wind.
The case of tbe state against Roy
Turner was triad in Justice Davis'
court Thursday; Turner being at
cussd of perjury in making' an atfldp.vit.
thiit the scaips of .-;oiau 43 coyotes
which he presented at tbe clerks office
were taken from those animals killed
In Kingsley precinct. The state al
leges that one, Joe Chapman, was con
fine! in the county jail, and that while
so confined the jailor gave him 43 coy
ote scalps that had been paid for by
the county and told him to burn them
in the stove in the jail corridor.
tjnapman witn a laudable desire to
turn an honest penny at the county's
expense, and with a depraved con
science and marble heart, instead of
burning the scalps of tbe sheepmen's
enemies, deposited them in his valise
and upon getting out of jail turned the
headgear over to Turner. Turner, in
turn turned the whole business over
to the county, making at the same
time the affidavit that the coyotes that
furnished the scalps were killed In
Kingsley precinct. The county clerk
therefore turned Turner over a certlfi
caie mat ne naa pay for 43 coyote
scalps coming, and Turner in turn
turned the certificate oyer to Kuck,
wuo in nis turn lurnea x urner over a
couple of saddles, on thejprinciple that
one good turn deserves another. The
irauu coding so ugat, xurner was ar
rested and turned into Jail, whence he
was taken before Justice Davis, who
took the matter under advisement re
turning Turner to the custody of the
sheriff. Turner stands a fair show of
being turned over to the grand jury,
if it returning a "rue bill, and of being
then given an opportunity to turn oyer

porations in the gold interest that
Washington is opposed to the free
coinage of silver. Our delegation to
the St. Louts convention, constituted
forsthe express purpose of misrep
resenting the state upon this question,
has succeeded in so doing. Neither
from 1 that delegation nor the 'convention
day that elected it voiced the sentiment of
the majority of Washington republi
cans. Could or should, there be oppor
tunity offered for us to vote for Toller,
I believe he would get half the re

it by a large majority. r --

Hlnton Won the Knee
Yesterday Messrs. R. R. Hintnn, of
Bakeoven, and J. - J. Cozart. of John
Day, -arranged for a trotting race be
tween their horses Hero and Jim Crow,
mile beats, twain three, for $50 a side.
The race came off on tbe fair grounds
at 7 o'clock last night, and proved an
exciting contest, the horses being
very evenly matched. Mr. Hinton's
horse Hero won the-first heat in 3:01 4-5.
In tbe second beat Mr. Cozart pushed
Jim Crow for all there was in him, and
came under the wire two lengths in
advance of Hero; time, 2:57. When
the horses came up to the scene for
the third time there was considerable
excitement among the spectators, who
anticipated they would witness a
pretty race, and they did. The horses
kept pretty nearly together for tbe
first half mile, and from there on Hepo
forged ahead, and came through an
easy winner in 2:7. Those who. wit
nessed tbe race say it was one of the
best ever trotted on The Dalles track,
though better time has been made in
times past. '' . .
A Valuable Bora Saved.
The pacing horse of E. C. Pease, of
the firm of Pease & Mays, of this city,

material in the blood. For some hours
it was thought tbe animal would die,
be was placed in care of Veterinary
Surgeon Dr. A. L. Combs, and at this
date has completely recovered. JTb,is
animal is one of the best bred repre
sentatives of the equine -race in this
country. The cure reflects great credit
upon the doctor,' as it -is only two
weeks since W. J. Kerr, of the firm of

Nothing siew Under tbe Sua.
There really is nothing new under
the sun. The excavations now being
carried on in Egypt have brought to
light, among other interesting things,
a stone tablet, bearing inscription! re
citing tbe valorous deeds of some
monarch who reigned and ruled some
four or five thousand years ago. The
tablet also has some reference to
matters of local import at that far back
period of tbe world's history, anjong
them being . tbe following: "The
police lie in slumber on their beats.."
There are others beside those who
patrolled the streets of ancient Thebes.
Warning Sheepmen. ...
Farmers and stock 'raisers over in
Klickitat county have little love for
Oreeon sheep men", who take their
i flocks across . the- river for . summer
pasturage. Reports are. rife tbat
violent means will be. resorted to to
prevent sheep from this side of the
river entering the - mountains on the
Washington side, and R. H. . Guthrie,
of this city, who is arranging to take
his sheep to Mt. Adams, received tbe
following warning, dated at White
Salmon, June 22: .
Dear Sir: "There is a move on foot
to salt petre your slieep when you bring
them through here, so I thought
I would tell you about it, so tbat
you might be on your guard.
Tbat man Wiers is at the bottom of it.
I don't want to get into trouble, so I
will not sign my name.'.',
A Thing of Beauty. -- ;
The yacht, Ouiona, is anchored
above the Umatilla House and is re

tout ensemble, Mr. Arthur Kennedy do
ing the touching of the aforesaid tout.
She sits in the water like a duck and

Engineer Hayes, of the Southern Pacific
Cured.
Mh. Editor, Dear Sir: I hold it
to be a duty, as well as a pleasure, to
make known through the press tbat
which of all other things is essential
to most, viz: The way to cure pain
and sickness. From Decmber 1st to
29th I was confined to my house with
sciatic rheumatism,-' kidney trouble
and inflamation of the neck - and blad
der and general - indisposition. Gould
not sleep more than an hour at a time.
All means I tried proved unavailing.
I was prompted to -visit Dr. Darrin
through tbe advice of my friends who
had been cured by him, though I must
say I bad little faith that electricity
would cure me. I came to the doctor
on crutches. Two week's treatment
has cured me, so I've thrown away my
crutches and my other complaints
bave all disappeared, so I can- now
take command of my engine again.

Dr. Darrin is now located at the
Umatilla. house., The Dalles, and- will
remain until August 1. -

A Handsome Emblem.
The elks head and tooth are the em
blems of the Benevolent and Protec
tive Order of Elks, and either singly
makes an appropriate insignia of Elk
dom, when worn by a member,, but
when tastefully combined in a charm
or badge they are both appropriate
and attractive. F. H. Van Norden
has prepared a watch charm combin
ing these emblems in excellent effect,
and making . one of tbe . handsomest
articles of jewelry that can be found
anywhere. The tooth, which is an ex
cellent specimen, is suspended from a
solid gold mounting, while above it is
a dial with the hands pointing to 11
o'clock, and in front of this is an elk's
head of gold, with gracefully, branch
ing antlers and with eyes of red rubles.
Tbe charm Is Indeed a production of
art and skill, and will be highly prized
by the fortunate Elk who becomes its
possessor. .
' Tbe Sew Yacht. Ouiona. '
The new yacht, Ouiona, which was
built by the "Columbia Yot Klub, "
a short time ago, of which it Is said a
bottle of genuine Gambrinua beer bad
been smashed on its bow, as it was
slowly slipping from the greased tim
bers into the grand old Columbia when
launched, madeher first trial trip to
day. Witb all her officers on board,
together with several of the stock
holders, the beautiful but clumsy little
Ouiona. sailed down the river several
miles, and then turning, in tbe direc
tion tbe wind was blowing, the large
white sail was hoisted., - As an arrow
shot from the hunter's bow, she passed
the city and sailed up the Columbia
till the rapids were reached, thus end
ing ber. trial trip. The Ouiona will
in a few days leave With ber crew for
Wind river, where they will spend a
few weeks fishing and hunting.
The MoCoy Creek Mines. " . -
In conversation'' with Mr. ' Cradle
baugb, who returned Monday from an
unsuccessful attempt to get into the
mines on- McCoy Creek, we learn that
the snow is still from 10 to 15 feet deep
for 30 miles along the trail, and that it
will be nearly a month before pack
horses can be .driven over the trail.
There is no bare ground, consequently
no grass, and every stream is a raging j
torrent.- Tbe party expected to find
grass in some large meadows on the
divide between Lewis river and White
Salmon, but .found instead, a lake from
4 to 10 feet deep. There seems to be
ad idea that there are good mines dis
covered on McCoy creek, but Mr. C.
tells us that tbat remains to be demon
strated - So far but little prospecting'
has been done, not enough to determ
ine tbe value of tbe find, it it has any
value, but enough to justify, further
examination. The creek on which the j
safe to say that' with a .good breeze
abaft the quarter sbe will be able to
make five miles an hour down: stream
during high water. Everything about
her has been planned for convinenoe,
even arrangements being made so tbat
in case of hard weather, ber foremast
may be'sent below and coiled up in the
forecastle. - Her latitude and longi
tude are simultaneous, so to speak, her
breadth of beam and length of keel be
ing practically the same.- She leaves
tomorrow with her j'jlly crew bound
for Wind river, aud if the boys don't
have a good time, it will be because
they can't get their vessel ashore. -

Two Tough Caught '
' Tuesday Sheriff Driver discovered
two suspicious looking characters
frequenting a China house in tbe city,
and after inquiring into their actions
deemed it advisable to take them in
charge. ' On examing their effects be
found a quantity of unstamped opium
in their possession, also some counter
feit greenbacks. He took tbem before
U. S. Commissioner J. M. Huntington
who held tbem in bonds of $200 each
to appear before tbe U. S grand jury
on a charge of having . unstamped
opium. They were taken to Portland
this afternoon. They gave their
names as Ernest Tickering and John
Ford. JTord claims tx have' been an
opium fiend, and says the drug he had
wa s used as an antidote to assist in
curing him of the opium habit. Both
are tough ' looking - characters', and
possibly are all-round crooks.

Crops 'ot Injured. "
Several prominent farmers of this
county were in the" city yesterday,
says the ' Pendleton Tribune, The
blistering weather of the past few days
is said to have done some damage-to
spring grain, but the" outlook for the
most part is very encouraging. : The
condition of the crops is said tQbe fat
bitter than at this tiine -last". year.'.
Tom Page, who farms several hundred
acres of wheat on the reservation, "will
suffer lightly from the hot wave, al
though cooler weather and some rain
he thinks will be necessary to save
any considerable part of the spring
grain. He is estimating' SO bushels to
the acre, under - favorable weather
conditions.
Song BeeltaL
The song recital given by the pupils
of Miss Eliot at- the Congregational
jhuroh Wednesday evening, was one of
the most pleasing entertainments ever
given in Tbe Dalles. The church was
filled to its' utmost capacity, and the
audience showed the keenest . appreci
ation,, giving generous- applause to
every 'number. The rVLady Bird"
by tbe entire class was the feature Of
the eveulng and at its close the aud
ience refused to be satisfied ifhtif the
class repeated the song. " The Dalles
has some fine voices, and the recital
last evening showed the marked , im
provement made under. Miss Eliot's
teaching.- ; . .

- A Thlrteen-Year-Old Wife.
County Commissioner " McDonnell
was accosted on tbe street a day or
two ago by a man who said that he
wanted the board of county commis
sioners to send bis wife to .the reform
school, as she was unruly, says the
Walla Walla Statesman. Mr. Mc
Donnell explained tbat the reform
school was not intended as a place
where wives should be disciplined,
but was for the purpose of correcting
unruly children. Tbe man said that
was all right, as ' his wife was only
thirteen years old, and he thought if
she was sent down there for a few
years she would behave better on her
return. To say tbat our worthy friend
McDonnell was surprised only partially
states the case.
few They Flay Ball?
A report has been circulated around
tbe streets of The Dalles that the
"crack" baseball team which arrived
on the local yesterday, bad challenged
tbe young players of the town, after
their engagement with the Moro boys.
The Dalles boys need not be afraid, as
they have won high honors in playing
ball before. There are quite a number
of young athletes in the city, and if
they would come together, and' take
the matter under consideration, it is
a sure thing that, witb only a Couple
of days practice, our boys would be
tbe victors. They bave just as good
grounds to play on as any ball ground
in East Portland, therefore, there is
no reason why the challenge should
not be accepted.
A Treacherous Bhotf-an.
Tbat guns are most dangerous things
to fool with was fully demonstrated at
White. Salmon yesterday. Mr. and
Mrs. Sheeve, wno 11 re at Camas Prairie,
Wash., got into a small boat to cross
the river, and a shotgun was carelessly
laid into ths bottom of the boat. Mrs.
Sheeve caught hold of the muzzle of
the gun to move It and drawing it
toward her, it was discharged.- The
shot grazed her left side, tearing away
her clothing, bit fortunately none of
the shot entered ber body. It was in
deed a very narrow escape for the lady
for had the shot entered ber side the
result would have been fatal.
Collapse of the Ootn Day Bridge
- Yesterday morning the toll bridge
across tbe John Day river near tbe
mouth of Rock creek, went down,
seriously Injuring W. S. Grant, of
Fossil, and drowning his six-horse
team and destroying two .big loads of
goods belonging to Fos8il merchants.
When all six horses and both wagons
were pn the bridge tbe middle pier
gave way, the bridge broke and fell
into the river pinning the horses to
the bottom where they soon drowned.
