the silvery breaker send forth their

a short stroll. The tables are well sup

were damaged, but otherwise the loss
will be light.

Their loss in the recent fire was only
a portion of their mammoth stock, it
being goods outside their main store
the fiie not haying reached within a
block of their immense establishment
in tbe East End. But while they are
large losers, tbey still have the largest
stock of furniture in Eastern Oregon
and to even up on their losses are de,
terra ined to increase their business.
They know of no better way to do
this than to increase sales by offering
extra inducements to purchasers in
the way of . iow prices. They have
been known as the' leaders in low
prices during the past, but what re
ductions they have heretofore made
are nothing compared with what they
are making. For tbe next few weeks
their prices will be way below any
thing ever before known in The
Dalles. No room or time to quote
prices here, but customers are invited
to call at the store for information con
cerning bargains.

Bnt
J. H. Crosse's Store Burglarised,
Nothing: Taken.
When J. H. Cross reached his store
in the Vogt block this paorning, be
was surprised to find the side door,
opening on Federal street, bad been
broken open, and tbe money tills torn
from tbe counter. Tbe lock had been
bursted off the door, evidently by some
heavy body being forced against it ad
mitting the burglar or burglars to the
store room. When once inside they
tore tbe money tills from their fasten
ings, but finding nothing but a few
pennies' in each till, left them, and
evidently walked outof the store with
out molesting anything else, as noth
ing could be missed from the stock.
Mr. Cross bad closed the store at 10
o'clock, but had taken the precaution
to put all his money in the safe, which
must have been too formidable for tbe
burglars to tackle, or else they might
have been scared away by persons
passing about the streets. There is
no clue to the burglars, but evidently
they were novices, or tbey would have
attempted to open the safe.
An AstorJay Prediction. -Apart
from our communication by

Traveling; Under Difficulties,
Last Wednesday F. M. Cbrisman
started south with his wagon train and
traction engine, and consumed the en
tire forenoon getting to tbe top of the
brewery hill. When about half way
up the bill, the load proved too heavy
for the engine, as the drive wheels
would revolve and dig holes in the
ground, but could not pull the wagons.
After a number of unsuccessful at
tempts to go ahead, Engineer C. L.
Dagget, who was at the throttle, or
hered two wagons detached, and pro
ceeded to the top of the hill with the
first two wagons, then returned for
the others
The train consisted of three wagons
for freight, and the tender wagon,
loaded with wood and water, The
entire load on the 'train amounted to
17 tons of freight, besides the wood
and water, which probably amounted
to five or six tons, M. Cnrisraan ex
pects to rover tbe journey of 220 miles
in twq weeks, and if the trial trip
proves a success, will run bis train
regularly between The Dalles and
Silver Lake or Prineville, doing a
general freighting business.
They Reach From Liberty to Taylor Street
Covering Business Buildings.
At a special meeting of the common
council held last night, an ordinance
was passed amending ordinance No.
237 and extending the fire limits to the
following bounds:
"Commencing at a point where the
north line of the alley in block B,
Trevitt's addition intersects the east-
line of Liberty street, thence running I
easterly and along the north line of
said alley to a point where the north
line of said alley Intersects the west
line of Union street, thence southerly
along the west line of Union street to
a point where the same intersects the j
north line of Third street, thence !
easterly along the north line of Third
street to a point where tbe north line
of said street intersects the west line
of Taylor street, thence northerly
along the west line of Taylor street to .
a point where it intersects the south I
line of Main .street, thence westerly '
along the south line of Main street to
the northwest corner of block A,
Trevitt's addition, thence southerly
along the west line of block B to the
southwest corner of block A, thence
southerly and in a straight line to the
northwest corner of block B, thence
southerly along the west line of block
B to the place of beginning."
A clause of the ordinance provides
that residences may be built on a
strip reaching sixty feet back from
the north line of Third street from
Federal to Taylor street, but on all
other ground in tbe fire limits nothing
but business bouses shall be built.
without a good story to tell at his ex
panse. The last one is perhaps the best
of all and has already cost him a small
fortune to purchase his wife's silence.
It happened recently and when he came
home he was still puzzled. Dinner was
late, in consequence of its being the
cook's day out, and while they waited
for the meal he mentioned the occur
rence to his wife.
4T met a woman on the street to-day
whose face is -familiar as my own, and
yet I can't remember her name or where
I met her."
"O, Henry!" cried his wife, "doubt
less it was one of my friends, and I shall
have a time explaining it. You really
ought to wear glasses."
"Not this time, my dear'. I greeted
her in a most friendly fashion, because
I didn't want her to know I couldn't
place her. I asked if everybody was
well at home and she replied yes' with
out any explanation, so I found out
nothing in that way. She looked rather
queer, too, as if she suspected me, and
as we were near a confectioner's I asked
her to have a plate of cream."
"Quite right," said the wife. "Noth
ing offends people so much as failing to
remember their names. She may be
one of your best paying clients."
"Very true. By the way, Mrs. Know
Itall happened in while we were eating
our cream and I thought she looked
rather queer. Some one he dislikes, I
suppose."
"Very likely. What is it Alma?" as
the housemaid came into the room.
"If you please, madam, it's Mrs.
KnowitaH. She says she wants to see
you a minute."
. "You dear thing, how are you?" cried
the hostess, entering the parlor. "Is
anything wrong? Has your new cook
left you, or . j
"No, she hasn't. She has only de
manded two more afternoons a week.
What I wanted to say is this: We have
a hard enough time to keep servants
already, and if your husband intends to
make it harder I shall regret your com- 1
ing out here!" .
"My husband? I don't understand."
"Yes. I saw him myself at Sweetie's
this afternoon treating your cook to ice
cream, and it is a precedent which "
And then Henry came in to see what

A Reliable firm Says Wheat Will be a
Good Thins;.
In an analysis of tbe Chicago market
fie daily circular of Irwin, Green &
Co., commission merchants, says: "The
government report was largely dis
counted yesterday, and, after all is not
8 3 ycry bearish, when compared with
the 700,000,000 estimates of private ex
ports, as it indicates but little over
600,000,000. All current news is so
strong it is marvelous that the market
can be kept down by sentiment, or
that speculative views do not. become
more in accord with facts. The cash
situation grows stronger daily at all
points. Receipts continue very light,
and the consumptive demand more
urgent. There is practically no con
tract wheat here. There are solid
foundations for very high prices for
wheat on this crop."
Nicaragua Canal.
There is a national and widespread
interest manifest in the Nicaragua
oanal project, and people all over the
East are awakening to its importance.
A national conference will be held
at Saratoga August 19 and 20, attended
by representative men from every sec
tion. Its commercial importance will
be considered, and it may result in the
speedy carrying out of tha plan. Gov
ernor Lord, of Salem; A. H. Devers,
F. W. Hinmarsb, E. Drake, G. W.
Phillips, Frank A, Pierson, Joseph
Clossetand G. W. Werlin will look
after Oregon's interests at litis meet
ing. The outfit with which F. M. Chris
man proposed to revolutionize the
freighting business in Eastern Oregon
bids fair to result in a disappointment,
as thus far It has been an unwieldy
monster. He left here Wednesday
mcrning with his traction engine and
wagon train, and this morning had
only reached Three-Mile, and was
having a difficult job of getting up the
hill, the engine being able to draw
only one wagon. At this rate of loco
motI l it will take about 150 days to
reach his destination at Silver Lake.
The action of the city council in ex
tending the fire limits will result ben
eficially to the city in, the future, for
every building that goes up in tbe fire
limits hereafter will be fireproof, and
will add to the stability of the town,
though it may retard rebuilding for
the time. However the burned dis
trict will be built up in a short time,
and when it is the property owners
will see the wisdom of the council in
its action last night.
