a shipping point yet, and should an
other big wheat crop be raised next

G. C Stacy, the barber, has a badly
disabled right hand. This morning

week.
The smokers of The Dalles feel some
what piqued at the treatment accorded
them by Capt. Johnson, of the steamer
Dalles City. Vancouver papers say
the captain has greeted them with an
open box of cigars every time he has
landed there since the arrival of his
new boy. Captain, there are no less
than 500 gentlemen in The Dalles who
enjoy a good cigar.
Parties who have visited Seufert
Bros' orchard above town say there
are tons of peaches there going to
waste, the price east being too low to
pay for picking and shipping. If there
were a cannery in The Dalles all that
fruit could be handled at a profit, and
would keep in the country the money
that will be sent abroad for canned
peaches during the next year.
Local dealers are anticipating a
heavy trade in all lines this fall, and
are preparing to meet all requirements,
stocking up with everything in larger
quantities than usual. In farm im

loaded at Pease & Mays' today, and
other dealers are expecting like ship

Phelps Pastes Away After
Long
Tears of gSufleriug.
Saturday afternoon A. C. Phelps,
one of the early pioneers of Oregon,
died at bis home in this city after
being afflicted with rheumatism for
six years. For the past two years Mr.
Phelps had been perfectly helpless,
never having regained use of his limb?
Deceased was born in the state of
New York 72 years ago, and crossed
the plains in 1852. going to Puget
Sound, where he resided until some'
time in 1859. Then be came to Hood
River, and was one of the first settlers
of that place. From there be eame to
The Dalles in 1863, and for a number
of years was engaged in the truck and
dray business. Later he built The
Dalles sash and door factory, and op
erated it until forced by ill health to
give up active business.
In 1863 he was married to Mrs. Julia
Stillman, who survives bim. In 1874

Pacific Circle Weekly Social.
Friday evening the officers of Cedar
Circle entertained the members of that
order. A novel feature of the Dro?ram
aa the log-sawing contest between
.Miss Lizzie Ehrick and Katie Sargeant,
Christine Phirman and Wilmar
Teague,resulting in Miss Lizzie Ehrick
winning the first prize, having sawed
her stick of wood in two in 1 minute
and 20 seconds and Miss W. Teague
carrying off the booby, having divided
her stick of wood in 2 minutes and 20
seconds. This afforded much amuse
ment to the Woodmen present, and
this was followed by three men of the
order trimming hats and evening bon
nets in the "latest Parisian styles."
C. L. Phillips secured first Drize
for best trimmed hat, (he having been
raised in a millinery establishment.)
and J M. Filloon won second prize.
Mrs. Briggs recited a selection and
then sandwltches and coffee, pickles

evening was spent, and it was 11:39

Two Fool Societies.
Chicago has a "Humao Nature Club"
whfch makes engagements and ar
r inges marriages for its members. It
announces "nappy results ' In the
form of six engagements. However,
the critical public may be pardoned
for watzhing the divorce courts witb
some interest for a few years to come
before It deGnltely decides how happy
the resu'ts are. Engagements are
not necessarily preludes to unalloyed
happiness. Not to be outdone by the
Western city, Boston has started a
society, whose avowed object is the
abolition of marriage, but the mem
bers talk in low whispers when they
try to mention a substitute.
So long as the human race exists
men and women will continue to form
attachments for each other and to
marry. A society that proposes to
take the romance out of such contracts
is needless, and one that undertakes to
prevent them is a failure. The Chicago
Club and the Boston Society may well
be termed fool societies, that haye
foolish aims, and worse than foolish
originators.
Coroner's Inquest.
Yesterday Coroner Butts held an
inquest ov:r the remains of Charles
Johnston, killed in a railroad wreck
near John Day. The jury returned the
following verdict:
The Dalles, Or., Sept. 27, 1397.
The undersigned empaneled by W.
H. Butts, coroner of Wasco county,
Oregon, as a jury to inquire into the
cause of the death of one Charles W.
Johnston, whose body is now before us,
having heard the testimony of the wit
nesses sworn by said coroner find as
follows:
That the deceased came to his death
on Sept. 27, 1807, about the hour of
12:30, A. M. while in charge of the O.
R. & N. train No. 24, bound east and
at the time of his death was engineer
and in charge of the locomotive pull
ing said train; that the place of the
accident was near the John Day sec
tion house located on the O. IX. & N.
Co's. line about 37 miles east of The
Dalles, Oregon.
We further find from the evidence
that the cause of the accident was the
derailing of the engine by sand accu
mulating on the track and thereby
throwing the engine from the rails;
the engine immediately after such de
railment capsizing and crushing the
deceased beneath it.

and energy of Rev. L. Gray, through
whose efforts it has been built. But
the work is not all done, nor the ex
pense provided for. The church muat
be furnished with seats, an organ,
lights, etc., and this will cost from $800
to $ 1,000. The Lutheran ladies of The
Dalles have taken it upon themselves
to furnish the new church, and pro
pose to raise the necessary funds by
giving a bazar some time this fall.
The Lutherans are well represented in
The Dalles, numbering among their
congregation many of the moit honest,
energetic and law abiding citizens,
and are worthy of aid in this laudible
effort, since tbey are always ready to
help others. It Is to be hoped the
bazar will be well patronised and that
the Lutheran ladies will be able to ac
complish the purpose they have un
ddrtaken.

the building, estimated at between
$4,000 and 5,000.

Let's Hear From The Committee.
ED TlJIES-MOITNrAISEEH:
Some two or three months ago the
Commercial Club held a meeting for
the purpose of inquiring Into the feasi
bility of building a railroad from The
Dalles to Deschutes, and up that river
to the free bridge. At that meeting a
committee was appointed to take steps
to have a survey made and ascertain
the cost of building the road.
I have not heard anything- from the
committee since. I have asked several
why the committee did not make re
port. I am satisfied the committee
has a reasonable excuse for not making
a report, and that as soon as they can
get to it they will do so, but they
should make soma sort of a statement
so that the people will not lose interest
in the road, until such a time as the
committee is able to submit a full re
port.

MEWS FROM HKAUITaY.
Mr. Batter Gives au lnterstlng Acconnt of
Bis Trip to Alasku.
Leslie Butler, of this' city, who sailed
from Portland on Sept. 5 for Alaska,
writes from Skaguay under date of
Sept. IS, statiug that he and Mrs. But
ler had a most enjoyable trip all the
way from the mouth of the river to
their destination. The sea voyage
was a magnificent one, there being no
storms to mar their pleasure.
Several stops were made along the
route, though the most of them were
at unimportant points until Metlakal
tla was reached. At this point Dr.
Duncan has a lot of Indians colonized,
and they have churches, schools and a
salmon cannery. The place is a thriv
ing little village occupied principally
by Indians and the employes under Dr.
Duncan.
The ship on which they sailed, the
Elder, stopped at Ft. Wrangel, at the
mouth of Stikeen river, where three of
the passengers stopped, expecting to
go up the Stikeen and across the pass
to the Yukon.
Mr. and Mrs. Butler landed at Skag
uay on the 12th, just a week after leav
ing Portland, aud are by uo means
favorably impressed with the climate
there, rain haviug fallen every day,
and a continuous wind having blown.
Mr. Butler says Skaguay is destined
to be a city of considerable importance.
There are 10J houses under course of
construction, and everybody there is
busy. Carpenters receivo from $5 to
$7 a day, and any kind of labor is paid
$4 a day.
He says all kinds of reports can be
heard in Skaguay, and all kinds of
conditions exist. People are both
coming and going. Some are turning
back discouraged, and others are ar
riving on every boat, ready to brave
the peri's of gold hunting iu Alaska.
