At a meeting of the Columbia Hose Co. last evening, it was decided n st to take part in the G. A. R. parade. The members have no suits or regalia whatever, and as a good many of the boys are employed in stores, it wou'd be quite inconvenient for them to get . away, consequently they took the above action. However they donated a sum pf money to help the cause along, and will decorate, having bought a beautiful 16 ft. flag which " will adorn their quarters. Marshal Lautr has done good work in cleaning up the streets of The Dalle, but there is more work he can do to advantage. There are numerous piles t wood and a considerable amount of farm machinery on the streets that should be removed before the assembling of the G. A. R. en campment. Let all the streets be cleared so that the old soldiers may be impressed with the idea that The Dalles is a "clean" city. We have soms very witty people in town and of course our reporter usually has to stand the brunt of their clever remarks. In conversation with a pro minent young jeweler this morning he Baid, "Did you see the latest .bulletin about Dewey being arrested?" having plead guilty of not seeing the "latest" we asked why. In response he said, "for running a shell game on the Spaniards."

They were from the Willamette valley, and were shipped at noon to Montana where they will be put on the range. W. Lord returned this morning from Pendleton, and states that a great deal more wool is arriving here than at that place. The warehouses at this point are very busy, and yet this season's clip has not fairly begun to arrive. During our war with Spain a great many rumors nave bjen anoat, tne majority of which could not be authen ticated. This morning we heard that there was an explosion at the mouth of the Columbia. On making further inquiries, however, we learned that the wind blew up the river.

The Woman's Edition of the Times Mountaineer will be issued tomorrow morning, and will be found on sale at the women's headquarters and all book and dru; stores.

It is a miniature union fort, being bom barded by the confederates from be hind breastworks. One can see where shot and shell have laid waste, and brought many to an untimely death. When passing do not fail to see the window for it is a good conception. (From Monday's Daily.) Lem Burgess and wife, of Bakeoven, are in the city.

The Dalles City arrived this morn ing as 10. with a light passenger liet, but heavily loaded with freight. She left for Portland at 11:3 ), and will ar rive there late this evening. We have noticed a good many hobos on our streets today, and as a warning to our residents, would say it would be wise for them not to leave anything lying around loose, or thoir houses in in insecure manner. Flags of all nations are flying in The Dalles today, that is all but the flag of of Spain. There is not oue in the city who would float the color? of the Dons. That is one wkich Dallesites do not specially honor at this par ticular time. Chas. Hunt, who for a number of years was a resident of our city and held the position as book-keeper at the shops and also for Seufert Bros, when they ran the American market, died in an insane asylum yesterday afternoon in California. H. S. Hanna's farm on Cheoowetb eek is a lively place just now. Mr. Hanna has erected shearing pens on his farm and a band of 8,000 head of sheep belonging to Cartwright & Shearer are being shorn there, while some 15,000 more are awaiting their turn at the corrals. Thetpwn today presents a very at tractive appearance. All the stores are profusely decorated, and many of the windows are dressed in fitting cos tume. Our people all seem to take a great deal of interest io the G. A. R. reunion and well they might, for the veterans are becoming faw and their past valor should be honored. A pleasant par.y started out this afternoon to visit the old man who lives in the cave south of the Catholic cemetery. They were Misses Borland, Baum and But dick, and Messrs. Stew art, Gorman and Batty. If the old fellow sees this group of sunshine, he will surely give up his life as a hermit and return once I ore to the world add be a man among men. At 3:15 this afternoon the new ferry boat was launched, and created quite a little excitement. There were a few passen g-ers aboard and did honors to the occasion. Among them Master Harold Fish and his father. The new boat will be rushed to completion and in a short time will be doing service on the Columbia between this place and Rockland. On Thursdav Chief of Police Kauff- man, of Waila Walla, found four boys ranging from 11 to 15 years of age,in a shed in the rear of the old Stene house. The youngsteis were very drunk. They were ranged around a big can of beer. Chief Kauffman- locked the boys up. He is making a strone effort to ascertain who sold the beer to the boys. If be succeeds he will prosecute the offender. Tho Times-Mountaineer's soldier boys, Ed Lemison and Jess StUwell, who resighed their positions as com positors in this office to join the army, were both accepted as able bodied soldiers, and are now en route to the Philippines to help avenge the lives of the sailors who went down on the Maine. Our hooe is that they will be good soldiers, and will be able to dodge all Spanish bullets that come their way. The G. A. R. have been somewhat disappointed in not being able to se cure the U. S. 14th Infantry band to take part ia their exercises at this place. They had all arrangements made with them, and they were to be here, but since tne war bas been in progress they were called to duty and could nou attend. However, The Dalles brass band will furnish good musical entertainment for the en campment and its visitors. A PATKIOIIC MILLIONAIRE. John Jacob Astor Is More than Ordinarily Ueiierotw and Patriotic. No one begrudges a millionaire his millions if he is willing to snare them with his country in lime of troublt. It is said that Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Mrs Eibridge T. Gerry and Mrs. Cor nelius Vanuerbilt, jr., have offered tbeir jewels for the purchase of a new warship, if the government should need an extra oue. Tne famous millionaire, John Jacob Astor, has gone them one step further and placed his immense railroad in terests at the disposal of the govern ment. Mr. Astor is president of the Find ley, Fort Wayne & Western Rail way company. He has other railroad stpek. To transport soldiers and ammuni tion from the interior to the coast is an expensive matter, as the depart ment of war found out. On hearing of the money difficulty, John Jacob Astor sent the following letter to the department: "If occasion should arise I beg to place our road and rolling stock at the free disposal of the state government for the movement of troops and sup plies, or for other public service in which they may be required." John Jacob Aslor is 33 years old. He was born in New York city, and is the youngest child of the late William Astor, and the press nt Mrs. Astor, leader of society. He is the only son of the family, and on him devolves the duty of attending to the Astor millions. He married a Miss Willing of the old Philadelphia family of that name. STATIC bt.WS. The first battalion, Oregon volun teers, who left Portland on the 11th, for San Francisce, was given an ovation at every town in Oregon where the special train stopped Fiowers and lunch were showered upon the soldier boys everywhere.

The contract for the erection of the new custum house in Portland has been awarded to a Chicago firm foi $337,000, being the lowest bidder by several thousand dollars, fhe stone to be used is to i'ome from the quarry on the Snake river, in Idaho. The building is to be completed in 16 months the time work is commenced. from Honors for Ihe Dalles Team. At the interclub bowling contest held at Portland, our home team was victorious, having carried off the hon ors by winning eleven out of twenty games. The ladies from The Dalles also won first oyer the Astorians, b it the Mult nomah women took three games each out of four from the visitors. The con test was principally a trial of skill be tween the visiting teams, which bowled 20 games each, the Portland clubs bowling but eight each. Special mention should be made of the fine score made by Mrs. Ingalls, of the Astoria women's team, in the games at the Oregon Road Club. She bowled four fine games with a total of 187. This, with the exception of Brad' shaw's 196, is the highest score of the contest, and very close to the associa tion record. G. A. R. Program for Tomorrow. The veterans will arrive tomorrow, and for three dayr will haye a reunion at this place. Many of our business houses are, and many more win be in gala attire tojnorrow. The parade will take place Wednesday morning, and from all indications will be a grand affair. Following is tomorrow's program: Arrival of delegates over O. R. & N., 5:20 P. M.

The gentlemen were as successful a the ladies, for during the afternoon they defeated a picked team fron. The Multnomah Club having playeo four games, two being won by each team, but our team having fifteen pins to their credit. From appearances The Dalles Commercial and Athletir Club hus some excellent bowlers, and we are of the opinion they will return with many honors. They are follow ing in the footsteps of Dewey, for vie tory awaits them on every hand. ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS. Fruit In the Counties East of Here la In Fine Condition. Emile Sehanno, member of the state board of agriculture, has returnee from quite an extensive lour through the eastean part of the state. He wem as far as Baker City, and reports hav ing visited some fine orchards in thai sei-tion, though he notes tiat the peo ple, in Baker county, er.pe;i:illy ii Powder river valley, are not devoting as much attBlion to agriculture and fruit growing as they should The have a splendid soil and fairly good climate, but are ne-jleating to take full advautage of either. What orchir.s he visited in that valley were thrifty and promised an abundant yield, though in quantity they are limited. Grand ltonde valley, Mr. Sehanno Bays, is the garden spot of Oregon, the soil is very productive and the climate all that could be asked. Fruit culture in that secion is receiving consider able attention, and the orchards are fine. The fruit crop in Grand Ronde valley and throughout Union eoimtv. Mr. Sehanno says, will be unusually large this season, and it prospects to be of excellent quality. The Wheat Prospects. One of the best bits of news this oountrv has heard for many a day is that France and Italy have suspended their stuffed tariff duties on wheat till July 1. Those people have never been deluded with the idea that "tne lor eigner pays the duty." The Freuh duty is equivalent to 36 cents a bushel. The Italian is rather less. Both are practically prohibitive, and their suspension opens up two rich markets that have been in effect closed hitherto. There is added this other piece of news, that Russia our greatest Euro pean rival in feeding mankind finds her grain supply so short that a dc cree has been issued forbidding grain exports. Thus we have new markets and a withdrawal of competition at time when our farmers still hold great proportion of their last year s grai n. All this means 10 cents a bushel more to our farmers and other holders on yesterday's prices, with an addi tional 20 or 30 cents advance in pros pect. Meantime the government crop re ports indicate that this year's yield will be very great, and when the French and Italians have once tasted free bread it is not unlikely that they will iusist upon a continuance of bus pension for duties that add about $2.00 a barrel to the price of their flour.

About 10 o'clock this morning as a team from Hay creek was being loaded at Pease & Maya' warehouse, the horses took fright and started off on a little jaunt without a guiding hand. Mak ing the turn af Second street, they ran upon the sidewalk in front of Mays & Crowe's store, and for a moment it looked as though a part of the beauti ful ldate glass front was doomed. Harry Lonsdale was decorating the in terior of the window, and nheu the horses got sight of him well they continued on up the street, and ran in the fence at the Columbia feed yard and were stopped. No damage was done outside of a few breaks on the harness. G. A. R. PARADE. The Program for Wednesday the Line of Marcn Promptly at 10 o'clock tomorrow the G. A.
