Very little salmon is being: caught in the river here at present, ana can- ners are running in short time. D. B. Kelly, a prominent land owner of Crook county, is in the city, having recently returned from a visit to Chicago. Mrs. Blakeley, of Laurence, Kan., arrived here this morning, and is visiting her daughter, Mrs. E. J, Clough, in this city. Yesterday county Clerk Kelsay is sued marriage license to James W.

Slayton left this morning for Hood River, the former to write np that section for the Times-Mountaineer and the latter ' to look at fruit lands with a view of purchasing. The new stock of jewelry, watches, etc., carried by Arthur Clarke, is com plete in every respect, and is well suited to the trade. Mr, Clarke now carries everything to be found in a first-class jewelry store. Spring grain in the southern part of Sherman' county is said to be short, and will not yield an abundant har vest, but in the central and northern part of the county, crops are better than they were a year ago.

If one would' be truly patriotic, he would never send abroad or anything be could get at home. Miss Cassie Cheese was a passenger on the steamer Sarah Dixon foi Port land this morning. From there she eoea to Stanford University to take a post graduate cormal course. She ex pects to remain at Stanford all summer. Fruit growers are generally feeling that this year's crop will realize them good returns.. The market at present is good, and as the quality of fruit is better than common, they hope to in crease their bank accounts when the crop is harvested and sold. Farmers from nearly every section of this county say their grain pros pects better than it did a year ago, and they expect the yield to be consider able more-than it was in 1 07. - A con servative estimate of the wheat ' crop of WaBco county is that 1,000,000 bushels will be harvested. This morning J. E. Reynolds, of Omaha, Neb., received 300 head of mixed cattle from J. L. Kelly and Wm. Floyd. The cattle were loaded at the stockyards this forenoon and started east. Mr. Reynolds also received sev eral carloads at Arlington, which with those received here make up a train load. The weather the past week has been most favorable for ripening crops. The cool daj s and nights have allowed grain to ripen evenly, and in conse quence the greater part of the wheat threshed in Wasco county will be No. 1. A few fields were damaged by the hot weather a week ago, but the dam age was only slight. The Dalles warehouses are full of wool, and numerous wool buyers and raisers are in the city, but there are very few sales recorded. There seems to be a dead-lock in the wool market, similar to that witnessed at Salem a year ago last January. It is to be hoped it will be broken advantageous ly to the wool growers in a few days. Those devilish little contrivances known as the nickel-in the-alot machines, not the one-, that are played for cigars, but the gambling devices, have again made their appearance in The Dalles and are causing the authorities no end of trouble. A roan with four of them arrived here last night and wants to set up in business. If the city authorities would put a license on the things that proprietors could not afford to pay, they could be kept out of town. From Thursday's Dally. Somera Family at the Baldwin to night.

A new awning is being built along the went side of Maetz & Pundts' prop erty on Court street. No. 51 drew the guitar raffled at Parkins' shop today by Prof. Ryan. The lucky number was held by Dr. Hollister. Last night C. M. Grimes shipped a fine car of beef to Troutdale. The cattle were bought from L. W. Curtis, of Rockland.

The many friends of R. Newlin will be pleaded to learn that he is recover ing from his severe illness, and io now on the road to recovery. A few days ago it was thought -there were no hopes of his ever getting well. '1 he pay of General Shatter's army in Cuba for the month of June was $750,000, but nobody begrudges the amount that will be paid out to the boys in blue. They have earned their pay. fighting In the cause of humanity. The Regulator's machinery has all been taken out except the boilers, and ttm boat was in readiness to float this morning. It was intended to pull it off the shore with the Sarah Dixon when she came up from Portland today. There has been little said about the growth of The Dalles this season, however there has been considerable building. Si me the first of April there have been 16 residences built and sveral more are now under course of construction. Miss Winnifred Humphrey, who has been visUiog her sister, Mrs. J. C. Wood, the past year, left this morn ing for home near Truckee, California. Miss Humphrey's many friends in the city wieh her a pleasant journey, and bope she will again return to The Dalles. It is expected that the steamer Dalles City will be ready to go into service by the last of next week. Its boilers are now being put in position. and the other repairs will be completed inside of a week. The old boat re- moddled will be welcomed back to The Dalles. The dispatches state that W. H. H, Glufer, of Eastern Oregon, has been appointed forestry supervisor, to have" charge of the northern portion of the Cascade and Bull Run reserves. There is probably a mistake in the name as the appointee is no doubt W. H. H. Dufur, of Dufur. Those who have seen the Somers Family, speak in the highest terms of their ability as musicians, and cheerfully recommended their enteraln ment. It is said to be real treat to hear them.. They appear at the Bald win opera bouse this evening, and should receive a liberal patronage There will hardly be any shortage of tonage to handle the wheat crops of Oregon and Washington thU year. The wheat crop in California is almost a failure, and ship that formerly loaded at San Francisco will come to Portland and the Sound. This ought to make the wheat market brisk and prices good. .

The Eastern Star chapter will give a reception next Tuesday evening at Masonic Hall in honor of W. G. M Madeleine B. Conkling. All members of the order, and all Masons and their wives are most cordially invited to be present. There will probably be a shortage in the ice supply at Moro tbe next few days. A man beaded . for that place with a wagon load of congealed water broke bis wagon this afternoon, and bis ice will probably lose considerable in weight before he reaches bis de? tination. Farmers throughout tbe county should recognize the importance of ex hibiting products at Omaha and Port land. The O. R. & N. Co. proposes to bear all the expense of making an ex hibit if the farmers will only bring samples in. Now is the time to de liver samples to the railroad company. Geo. Heart and Homer Lancaster, two prosperous stock raisers of Caleb, who have been In the city the past week, left this morning for home.their teams well loaded with supplies for the summer.

Co., came up last evening from Bonneville, where he has been for. several days superintendinir the work of raisingf the Regulator, and re turned to the scene of the accident this morning. Mr. Alloway said the efforts so far to get tbe Regulator afloat bad proven a failure. Everything bad been taken out of the boat except the boilers, and eeveral attempts bad been made to pull her off tbe rocks, but sho would not budge. The current is very swift where tbe boat is and tends to push it directly in to shore, holding It fast on the rocks where it sunk. An effort will be made today to pull the boat into the current, and if this fails, tbe company will arrange to take it out on tbe beach where, it . is and make the repairs to tha hull there.

The small amounts of stamps received heretofore went off like hot cakes, and left hosts of people clamoring for more. Life has hardly been worth living since the stamp law went into effect, but now they expect to be able to furnish all the stamps called for, and to have peace and order in tbe office once more. When it is known that a bank clerk came all tbe way from : Tacoma to Portland on a bicycle to procure stamps, it can be seen in what distress people were for them. Scarcity of Summer Bange.

Cascade A party of Dalles ladies have gone into-summer quarters at Trout Lake, and have named their abode "Camp Manilla," an appropriate name for present times.. One of them writing home, says "the 'stars and stripes wave from every poplar"" tree. Patriotism fills the air os every side, and cheers rent the air from morn till night for Uncle Sam, Sampson, Schley, Shafter and the rest of the boys." . The camp is described .as a) pictur esque place, the air is invigorating, in fact too invigorating the past few days to be comfortable, for the weather ban been cold and blustering, more like December than July. Fishing at the lake, the writer says, is good, and fine, fresh trout are promi nent on their bill of fare each meal. When "summer comes" she says "Camp Manila" will be one of the most delightful spots on earth. Be sides the Dallesites there are a number of Portlanders camped at the lake. Banco Mail Contractor. . Ever since the "star route" service was established in this-country the-e has been contractors. ; submitting bids for carrying mails ..at ruinously low prices, then re-letting them to some poor fellow -who-undertook the. job, and generally went broke; . But-times are changing, and occasionally one of these big contractors. fletS; bit.1- This seems to be.thecase inuTOQ Af tbe con tracts for carrying mail into Fossil, and is ventilated by the Journal as fol lows: ... i ,; " "The eastern mail route "farmer" who took the new Fossil-Waterman route at a ruinously low 'price, failed to show ud as he could not get a sucker to take it off his hands,' and Postmaster Gates has employed Albin Bucking ham by tbe day to carry tbe mail over this route until other arrangements can be made; and the first trip was made by Albin last Friday, just one week later than the Starting time stip ulated by the government. Under the present arrangement the route is cost ing almost three times the amount of the Eastern shark's bid; and nearly twise the amount of the bids of local men. Of course, the difference be tween the delinquent contractor's bid and the actual cost of supplying the route will come out of the Contractor's bond, if it be not a straw one. A simi lar state of things exists on the Arlington-Fossil line, a much bigger route, which is being temporarily sup plied by the day by -the former con tractor, the new man, also a big East ern route farmer, having first got "bis foot in it" and then failed to showup. - University of .Oregon.

The expectations of those who at tended the entertainment given by the Somers family at the Baldwin were more than realized, for the parform ance was better than any one expected. The company appeared somewhat at a disadvantage, owing to an accident that befell them near Moro a few days ago, in which Mrs. Somers was so severely injured that she could not ap pear on the stage, and all the - other members were more or less shaken up. MUs Nellie having had her left arm severely hurt, but this did not detract from her charms, and she appeared up on the stage a most charming and tallented little lady. Her voice is in deed something wonderful, and for one of her age displays talent that will bring her to the front as a star some day.

She Tire of Farm Life and Flee With a Despoiler. Yesterday John Bushaw, a Gilliam county farmer, was in The Dalles tell ing a tale of woe that is often beard that of a weak woman and unprincipled man. His story is that he with his wife and daughter, aged eight years, were living happily on their farm, when one George Roberts, a mining man of Portland, appeared -to disturb their peace. Tbe Bushaw home was not palatial, having none of the luxuries of city mansions, but was just an ordinary farm home. Work was hard for both husband and wife, and days of rest were few. Tbe wife was tired of such life, and she listened to tbe stories of ease and comfort of city life told her by the visitor. The persuasions of Roberts were more than she could re sist.
