Another at Crown Point in the same state, who is only 13, has smoked 50,000 cigarettes. ; Farmers on Five and Ten-Mile re- . port their grain suffering from the hot weather and for want of rain. A rain . of a few hours would put their grain crops in excellent condition, but with out rain their wheat will be short. : Pat Fagan is down from his ranch on Cherry creek, and says farmers in that section have already began sutting alfalfa hay. The season there is fully two weeks earlier than common, hay ing usually commences about June 15. Nearly all the strawberry pickers have left Hood River the berry crop having . been about harvested. . The hot weather the past week has had the , effect of drying up the berries and will make the crop several thousand crates .short. The authorities of Cascade Locks have sent an old colored woman, Mrs. L. C. Ainej, to the county jail, charged , with carrying concealed weapons. The old lady is half-witted, and appears to .be more an object of pity than a crim inal.

The object of the excur- ' sion is, besides having a good time, to raise funds to pay the expenses of training the hose team for the coming tournament. - If tbe wool that is now in the ware houses in The Dalles were being man- :.nfactured into oloths right, here, it would furnish employment for several hundred hands, and the wool raisers would find a market for their fleece, As it is the wool raiser cannot sell, and there is no work for the unemployed R.

The meeting he ays was harmonious and the prevail ing sentiment was for union. Farmers and freighters complain of the condition of the road from Three- Mile to The Dalles and of the street leading from tbe bluff past the Meth odist church. The authorities should see to it that the roads leading into the city are put into good condition. That much is due the traveling public and also the merchants of the city. Mrs. J. E. Barnett and Miss Edythe Randall, delegates to the grand lodge of Good Templars from Dalles Lodge No 2, and Miss Lydia Johnson, dele gate from Fairfield Lodge, - returned on the boat last night from Portland.

George Crossfield spent yesterday in the city, and left on this morning's train for Wasco, where he is opening a stock of general merchandise for the Oregon Trading Co., of which he is manager. This has been the banner day of the season for receiving wool at The Dalles warehouses. All day Second street, from the Wasco warehouse to Madison, street was filled with teams loaded with wool. Don't be backward about buying tickets for the moonlight excursion Everybody wants to help the tourna ment along, and the way to make it- a success is to place a sufficient amount of funds in the hands of the committee.

It ia doubtful if any state in the U. S. has more newspapers for the popu lation than Oregon. According to a new complication just made by Mr, Toziei there are 206 publications. Of this number there are 17 daily papers, 9 Semi-weekly and 145 weekly news papers. There are two semi-monthly and 33 monthly publications and one quarterly. Since August 1, 1896, 15 papers have suspended and 17 . new ef forts have been launched on the sea of journalism. Tbe "Carnival of "Madred" made its first appearance before the people of Portland last Saturday with a splen did street parade. The parade con&is ted of a large number of tastefully ar ranged floats that had been constructed at great expense, and presented a most beautiful and attractive ap pearance. After passing tbrougb the principal streets of the city, the parade lead to the Multnomah field where tbe principal exercises of the Carnival werm conducted. livered an excellent lecture upon the objects of the order. Business has been rushing in the East End the past two days. Wool has been coming in lively, a large amoqntof stock has been received, and everybody' has been ' kept busy. The merchants in that part of town report an extra good trade. The sale of city lots will be resumed at 2 p. m. next Saturday with J. B, Crossen as auctioneer.

Lyle, of Crook county. They were delivered to the Parson Cattle Co. of Utah, and will be shipped into Montana. They tilled 31 cars and will be started on their eastern journey this evening. Local silver men are anxious to make a date for Hon. W. J. Bryan in The Dalles when he visits Oregon in July, and feel encouraged in the belief that he will slop here and address the people, since he has signified his will ingness to concel his date in Portland in order that be may make one speech in Eastern Oregon. Roger B. Sinnott, secretary of the executive committee of the Volunteer Firemen's Association, left on tho morning train for Baker City, to at' tend the tournament at that place. While in Baker Mr. Sinnott expects to enroll a number of Eastern Oregon and Washington departments in the Volunteer Association.

It is acknowleged by all that what ever is done at a Sister's scuool is done well, and this is more than true with reference to St. Mary's Academy. To day a representative of the Times Mountain keb visiued this academy and was shown tbe display of class work there, every article of which is most perfect. The penmanship, draw ing, painting and needle work all evidence not only careful tutorship but close application on tbe part of tbe pupils, sbuwing that thoroughness in everything is the prime object to be attained in tbis institution of learning. Sunday night a horse belonging to A. Cathcart got a crazy idea into his head, and undertook to make a short cut for tbe East End, coming over the bluff back of C. F. Stephens' residence, foiling over a precipice about 50 feet. The horse landed on bis back in soft earth, hence was not injured, but the buggy to which he was hitched was a total wreck. There was rather a laughable incident connected with the accident, that came near causing Char lie Stephens to be taken in for a rob ber He heard the racket caused by the horse tumbling down the bluff, and started out in hot haste followed by Mrs. Stephen, and a neighbor mis taking him for an escaping burglar, offered to catch him, but was. per suaded by Mrs. S. to let him go. FOJi A UNIOM PARTY. The Albany Convention Issues a Call to the Reform Element. The bimetallic convention at Albany took the initiatory steps to orga nize a party that is destined to be come the leading party of the state of Oregon, and one which will call to gether under one organization all the forces who are opposed to the single gold standard and who believe in a government conducted in the interests of the masses. The convention adopt ed among other things the following plans for forming an union party: We favor the leaving the selection of committees and all party manage ment to the people at the primaries and until this is accomplished the fol lowing plan is suggested: That the name of the political or ganization Bhall be the '"Union Party.' The formation of union state central committee by tho conference of one member from each county who shall be county chairman. That three members of a union county comm'ttee and a secretary be chosen at a ma?s county convention. to be convened within 30 days, for that purpose, at call of thecounty chairman, shall constitute the county executive committee. The union county - executive com mittee shall meet and appoint a union precinct committee of 3 voters in each precinct, who shall have authority to conduct the nominating primaries. The county exe3Utive committee shall have full power to call all county conventions and fix the basis of repre sentation by delegates or to submit all nominations for a county ticket to a union primary election to be called by them.

Snipes Kinnersly Drug Co. WILL. GO INTO LIQUIDATION. . S. Wilson Appointed to Wind up the Affairs of The Dalles National. When The Dalles National bank was taken charge of by Examiner Cleary a month ago, it was expected that arrangements might be made whereby the bank would be allowed to resume business, but the controller of cur rency has determined that it shall go into liquidation, and has appointed H. S. Wilson, of the firm of Huntington & Wilson, receiver to wind up the business. Mr. Wilson was notified of his appointment by telegraph last Saturday, and was instructed to take charge of the institution on June 14th. So far there h.19 been no report marie of the assets and liabilities of the bank, but Mr. Wilson expects to be able to make a statement soon after he shall take charge. x The last statement published by the bank of its financial condition-showed it be on a solid basis and it is believed with careful management theestablsh ment will meet all demands of . its creditors in full and will possibly leave something for the stockholders, so that outside of retarding business for the present, nobody will be loser.

Thirty years is a long time to fight so painful a trouble as piles, but Jacob Mitchell, of Unionville.

Miss Dorotba Fredden went to Hood River today for a weeks visit in that city. Mrs. Katie Hollett Abend, of Lewis- ton, Idabo.is visiung Mrs. Judge Brad- shaw in tbe city. A train of 16 cars of cattle from Oak land arrived here this morning. They are going to Montana.

Today the attorneys for Jake An drews, convicted of displaying obscene pictures, argued a motion for a new trial, which was denied by the court, and the defendant was fined $500. Numerous teachers ate seeking en gagements for fall schools throughout the country, and from appearances there wiU be no difficulty in supplying all the schools with teachers this year. Fishing was better on the river last night than at any time thus far this season. In consequence Tne Dalles Canning Co.,. got up steam in their cannery and put up several hun dred cans. ' Col.

Four of the men arrested in Portland for conspiring to rob the Portland postoffice, Epping, Watson, Holsapple and Gauthier; have been held to answer before the U. S. grand jury, Epping was held in bonds of $5,000, Watson $2,000 and Holsapple $1,000. Gautheir being in the bands of the government authorities, they were made responsible for his appearance in court. The government made strong case against Epping, although the detectives made a bunglesome job of it, but there .appears to be little cause for holding Holsapple and Wat son, as there was nothing particular against them except tho statements of Gautheir, which will never have much weight before a jury.

To the people of Wasco county: For the reason that we have no official or ganization, and having been appointed and commissioned by the national of fice of "Tbe Patriots of America." to form organizations looking to the unity of the populists, democrats and silver-republicans, who favor a union of all that are opposed to the single gold standard, and who are opposed to the disgraceful farce now being played by a degenerate congress, which no longer represents the people, and that too in a called session made to fool those who have been already fooled by the promise of prosperity. I therefore, call a preliminary con vention at Dalles on June 19, 1897, at 1 o'clock P. M., to which convention delegates are invited from each pre cinct in tbe county. The purpose is to perfect an organization. United, we can redeem tbe state of Oregon from the men that now alleges to govern it, and give to the people the reforms that are sourgently needed and so persistently refnsed by the mod ern republican party. - United we can elect a legislature that will not stand in the 'shadow of any man. United we can elect the en tire county ticket and protect the county from the political bossism from whiah it has so long suffered. We therefore request all citizens of Wasco county, with 3ut regard to party, who are opposed to the single gold stand ard, and the international argument farce, and who oppose bonded debt, and who oppose the national banking system, who oppose the decision of the supreme court in tbe income tax law, and all who favor a complete and com pact unioaf all the reform forces in Oreeon to meet in convention at The Dalles as above siigested, to take such action as in council the convention may deem wise and prudent for the public good.

Last Saturday evening the doctor and E. Jacobsen hitched the horses to Mr. Jacobsen 'a new buggy, anticipating that they would exhibit the finest driv ing team in thecity, but the exhibition was a flat failure. Both the horses re fused tc leave the barn, though after a due amount of persuading they were started, and went like a whirl wind They circled around a block several times, refusing to be guided or checked, part of the ti.ne in the street but gen erally on the sidewalk, and finally hung up astride a tree in a vacant lot. The doctor was fully satisfied with his hrst experience with the horses, so well satisfied that he has turned them over to a horse trainer to break, and if they do not behave more amiably in the future he will donate them to the first circus that passes through the country. DlrUK JSOTES. Quarterly Conference In Session A I-ef t Handed Lecture Lazy Men's Clnb. Quarterly conference under the con duct of Elder Evans, of Yakima, is in session here and will close today. Oa Saturday evening Mr. Evans gave his lecture, "Left Handed Men," charging a small admission for the benefit of the church. The audience was not large but appreciative. Mr. Evans presented many thoughts of a highly practical character, so inter woven as to constitute a lecture worthy to be listened to anywhere. Of course the real subject was "Characteristic Irdividuality," but presented in a left nander way by a left handed man, gave it a novelty that entitles him to an nounce the subject, "Left Handed Men." U. P. Sam, the blind improvistor of the Northwest, is now a resident of Dufur. Sam claims that he is rural in habits, and pastoral in thought, but by some means farming does-not pan out well. Mt.

A description of the proceed ings held by this noted body on laying the corner stone of our city jail on a recent date would no doubt be very entertaining to your readers, but tbe scribe has very naturally neglected to keep the minutes in shape.

Throughout the strawberry- patches of Wasco county, a strange pest has made its appearance tbis season, and has been very troublesome in the patches of Winans Bros., three miles above The Dalles. It is a small green caterpillar that devours the leaves and consequently seriously injures the plante. Some time since Mr. Schanno sent a number of the pests to Prof. Cordley, of the state agricultural col lege, asking for an opinion upon tbe pest and suggestions regarding treat ment therefor, and received this replv: "The small green caterpillars you send are larvi of the strawberry leaf roller (phoxopteis coneptana). Last year it was reported in the Walla Walla valley, and now it appears in your vicinity. The caterpillars now present will soon pupate, and will then is-ue a rather beautiful little- moth, which will de posit eggs for another brood of cater pillars that will feed upon the straw berries in July and August If the first brood is as bad as you say, the second brood will probably be pretty serious. There are two remedies. Per haps the best is to mow the vines as soon as the crop is harvested, and when they are dry burn them. The second remedy is to spray the vines with Paris green as soon as tbe second brood begins to work." New and Enlarged Water Facilities. Dufur is soon to be supplsed with more efficient and increased water facilities. The Dufur water company held a meeting Tuesday evening, and perfected arrangements to begin work immediately upon its water supply plant. Superintendent Vanderpool was. instructed to purchase at once 2,8ti0 feet of 2 inch main pipe with the necessary fittings and belongidgs. Men will be put to work on the pin nacle of the hill of the north end of Main street where an immsense reser voir is to be constructed. A certain number of hydrant plugs will be put in at various street corners lor city service. That this work is now to be done there is- no longer room for doubt. That its completion will be a matter of great and beneficial impor tance to our little city none can be found to deny. Dufur Dispatch. They Wouldn't Work. Some time since Dr. Lannerberg bought a handsome tam of horses at Fossil, and for several weeks has had After Many Tears. Here is considerable of an Enoch Arden story from the HeDpner Gazette: John Simon, better known as "One- armed John," left yesterday for Phila delphia to see bis wife and children. John relates a peculiar story: Thirty five years ago he left his wife and babies in Philadelphia, coming west to seek his fortune, intending to re turn to them and bring them to tbe 'land of the setting sun," when his means would permit. Drifting down into Arizona he hired out as a goyern ment teamster and to make a long story short, John lost his right arm from an Apache's rifle. John is a peculiar man and be reasoned that he would be a burden to his folks and he resolved to make his own way in the world, and so turned sheep herder. And now an old man. and goes to see his family before he dies. He said that perhaps his wife had married again he could not blame her if she had. For Sale or Rent.
