It is remarkable the number of
tramps who are in The Dalles at pres
ent begging lor a meai irom privaw
families or beezlner individuals for
the Drice of one on the streets. The
vast majority of them are strong,
health? men who could easily earn an
honest living were they to go into the
interior and secure work on the farms
durine the spriner. They are a nui
sance and should be given the shortest
Dossible time to pel, out ol town wnen
sighted by the authorities. Such be?'
trine in the middle of winter is not so
bad, but when it comes to soliciting

dence of Mr. and Mrs. M. Doyle on
Chenowith creek, and had a most
enjoyable time, as they always do at
Mr. Doyle's. (
Of late the American market has
been receiving some fine chickens
from Kansas City, having received 100
every Saturday morning. They are
very fine, and are really superior to
anything that has been offered as a
home poduction
The ' west bound overland train
which was due here at 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon was at first reported
twelve hours late and later It was an
nulled. Tbe trouble is thought to
have been caused by heavy storms in
the Rocky mountain division
Today L. Rorden & Co's delivery
wagon was wrecked in the cut on
Union street. The horse had been
left standing at L. Rorden's residence,
and went off an a cruise through town,

was overturned.
Mrs. Nelson, proprietor of the Third
street boarding house.ls today moving

more commodious quarters.
The steamer Regulator left her dock
In this city this morning for Portland
and will in future make the run be
tween the two places in conjunction

A landslide near Viento last night
delayed the east bound overland train
about nine hours it having passed
through about 8 o'clock this morning.
The Spokane Flyer also encountered
trouble and was about four hours late. ,
Both trains waited at the Umatilla
House while the passengers break
fasted. Owing to the bad condition of the
road between this place and Golden
dale it was necessary to put on four
horses to draw the stage over the
mountain. The stage company se
cured a team of leaders from Ward &
Robertson, and 'as they pulled out of
town it was a reminder of the days
when Pretty Dick handled the ribboDs
on the Canyon City lice out of this
place.
T. A. Van Anda is in the city from
Johns' mill today. He informs us that
on Monday they had six inches of
snow at the mill, but since that time
it has been thawing off and at present
it is about all gone. The rain has
caused Mill creek and its tributaries
to raise rapidly and the creek is at
present a rushing torrent. At the
ford where he crossed on his way down
he encountered some difficulty and for
a time it appeared as if he would be
washed down by the current.
This morning three jolly drummers
left with a fine four-in-hand for the

George A. Youne, of Ridgeway, re
turned yesterday evening from an
extended visit with relatives in the
east. While he enjoyed bis trip im-
mensly still the most enjoyable part of
it was bis return to Oregon and his
many old friends and acquaintances.
He encountered some very severe
weather especially in Montana on his
return trip, and is delighted to be
back to Oregon with its mild balmy
climate.
Leapold F. Schmidt, one of the
proprietors of the capital brewing
company of Olympia, Wash., is in
the city in the interest of his house.
The Olympia beer is fast gaining the
reputation of. being the finest In the
northwest and it seems but a matter
of time when it will be unnecessary to
ship beer from the east as that which
the capital brewers manufactures
promises in the near future to riyal
the famous beveaage from Milwaukee.
A large number of ladles signified
their willingness to attain greater
perfection in the culinary department
by attending Miss Tracy's lecture in
the Baldwin opera house this after
noon. Tbe subject of her lecture was
desers and salads and by her talk, and
more especially by putting her receipts
into practical use and making the
deserts and salads which she allowed
those present to sample, she proved
that she was an ai tist in her line, and
that the ladies young and old profited
by her suggestions cannot be doubted.
Under the new law the- open season
for salmon fishing on the Columbia
river and its tributaries ended yester
day, and will not begin again nntll
April 15. Until then the only salmon
to be found in Oregon markets will bj
that shipped in from Puget sound and
the coast streams of Oregon, and these
fish can also be shipped East. The
express companies have been warned
by Fish Commissioner McGulre not to
carry any Columbia river salmon dur
ing the closed season, and they will be
required to furnish the commissioner
an account of tbe amount of salmon
brought from the sound and other
places that he may watch the dealers !
and see that tbey ship .no more out
than they receive.

A six-horse team, the first seen in
The Dalles since last fall was on the
street today which was a reminder of
the hundreds that will soon be coming
in with the wool crop in the near
future.
Latest reports from L. E. Crowe,
who is sick in St. Vincent's hospital
in Portland, state that he is not im
proving. A serious aoscess nas xormea
in his ear which is giving a great deal
of trouble, and will probably for?e
him to remain inthe hosipltal for some
time yet.
The enterorlsing proprietors of the
Umatilla House continue to make
improvements on their hotel, A new
floor has been put in the main office
and today workmen are covering the
same - with lynoleum which greatly
improves the appearance of the room.
The sleeping rooms are also under
going a thorough course of renovation,
being papered, painted and carpeted,
so that when the worn is completed
the hotel will be like new.
The Hood River Horticultural insti
tute opened at that place this morning
at 10 o'clock. The program through
out will be similar to that of .the insti
tute in this place. The attendance is
reported much larger than here and tt
appears that tne jnooo. raver people
realize that horticulture is begining
to rank as a profession and to make It
a success it is necessary to oe wen
versed in the theories of scientific
farming as well as to be practical
enough to properly apply those the
ories.
By reason of the ommission of the
enacting clause in the Curtis fish bill,
passed at the late session of the legis
lature, the bill is a dead letter. The
ommission was made in the senate,
and in some way escaped the notice of
the house. Even tbe enrolling com
mittee of the house passed the bill
with without noticing the fatal omis
sion, and the discovery was not maae
until Wednesday. By reason of this
defect in the bill all that the legisla
ture hoped to accomplish for the regu
lation of salmon-fishing on the Colum
bia is for naught. Tbe old laws are
therefore still in force.

Be Fought Down tbe Symptoms of
Genius.
"I suppose there is a great deal of un
recognized genius in the world," re-
j marked the literaTy young woman.
"Yes, indeed," replied her father, as
he looked np from the trade paper;
"lota and lots of it. People are a great
deal more sensible these days than they
nsed .to be." .
"You mean JJhs; are mors, sees:-!?,
because they have so much unrecog
nized genius?" she queried in surprise.
"Hhat's it, precisely." Taking off bis
glasses and balancing them on his fore
finger, he went on: "I remember when
I was a boy I shad a great talent for
music. I cou'.d retm-ember almost any
tune I ever heard, and .play it on a(
mouth-harp. And draw pictures?
Many is the picture I have drawn. So
hard is it to curb genius tHiat lots of
times I would find myself drawing pic
tures on my slate instead of doing my
arithmetic."
"How unfortunate that you couldn't
have cultivated your talents!" .
"Not- a bit of it; not a bit of it. I was
peculiarly fortunate. The trouble
with too many geniuses is tlhat. they
don't have common sense. Row, I was
different. I profiled by my oppor
tunities. You can't get a common
school education without finding out
what is likely to happen to a man as
soon as the world picks him out as a
genius. Go rigiht along through the
list of them. They are always selling
pictures or poems or musical composi
tions for less than the market value.
People somehow expect it of them. And
it's mighty seldom, that one gets rich.
As soon as I discovered that I had' scy
symptoms of genius, I fought them
down. I battled -with myself and went
into tihe livery stable business. By be
ing cautious and attending to business
arrived' ait a position of comparative
Independence, so that I can look con-
tenltedly around me and feel that it
would not do any gTeat harm now, even
if I were recognized." WaahingtOT

A DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT.
Such Was that Rendered at the Bald
win Tnesday.
It Is but seldom that we have the op
portunity of hearing an entertainment
of such a high order as the A. L. P. S.
concert at the Baldwin Tuesday even
ing. An instrumental duet, an overture
by Boidlieu, by the Misses Nickelson,
was the opening number and that the
young ladies executed their part well
would be hard to dispute.
In the next number Messrs. Akers,
Lundell, Poling and Steele, the mem
bers of the Alps quartet, appeared for
tbe first time, and as their reputation
was well known to Dalles people, ap
plause greeted them as they came
on the stage. When tbey concluded tbe
beautiful selection "Flag Without a
Stain," the audience almost went wild
and insisted on another appearance be
fore they would cease their applause.
The next number demonstrated that
the members of the A. L. P. S. could
hold their own as solo singers, as well
as in tbe quartet. When M. L. Akers
appeared and rendered the beautiful
song "Because I Love You Dear."
After another selection by the
quartet, Messrs. Akers and Lundell
appeared in a vocal duet "Love and
War," this like the other numbers was
well rendered and certainly merited
the outbursts of applause it received.
Miss Myrtle Michell had given her
consent to rende a vocal solo, but
owing to sickness she was unable to
attend the concert.
In the next number tbe Alps de
monstrated that genuine humor and
fun was not out ot their line, as they
appeared with tbe A. L. P S. band,
consisting of two trombones a bugle
and hunters horn. As an encore Mr.
Steele rendered a laughable trombone
solo.
The Ha r wood quintet, in wbioh our
local talent appeared in tbe persons of
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Reese, Miss Tlllie
Llebe and Messrs. H. D. and Irwin
Parkins, rendered Ben net's selec
tion "Love That Is True." Mrs.
Huntington sang "The Night Birds
Cooing" in her usual beautiful voice
Victoria, B. C. March 2. Miner
who have just arrived here on the
steamers Tees from the North say that
the Canadian officials on tbe Dalton
trail have seen fit to chaog) ' the)
boundary line to suit themrelve
They haya advanced considerable
distance into American territory and
according to the story which baa
reached here, have planted the British
flag within seven miles of Haines Mis
sion, the entrepot to the Porcupine
district.
Tbe point to which the Canadians
baye advanced will throw a big area
of tbe recently discoyered mines of
the Porcupine district into British
territory, If the new boundary 1b al
lowed t stand.
News Is also brought by the Tees-.
that a number of miners were frozen -to
death on the Atlln trail during a
terrible cold snap on Sunday and Mon
day week. The mercury fell to 58 be
low, and no less than eight unfortun
ates are said to have succumbed to the
cold. Their names could not be
learned. Several others were badly
frozen.

showers have fallen in Northern

and the indications are favorable for
more rain, which will be worth
millions to farmers, fruitgrowers and
miners.
Grain is still In fair condition,
although little or no rain has fallen
since the middle of January. Reports ,
show that almond and cherry trees are
in blossom in many places, fully a
month in advance of the usual time,
owing to the warm weather that has
almost continually prevailed Blnce the
January rains.

So Thielc That It Trapped E
Hnngry Coon.
The Little Eock Democrat is the au
thority for the kind of corn lands they
have iu that particularly blessed region,
.t says: Eight or ten- years or bo ago
.here was a lake near Morrilton cover
ing about 10,000 acres. When the big
iloods came two years Ego, an opening
s as made by the surging waters which
. arried off all the water of this lake
when the floods subsided. The bed of
:hc lake dried up and left the richest
oil the world ever saw. It is ten feet
icep, and nothing the Kiver Nile ever
..roduced could excel it. This year Mills
i Kalley have a crop of corn on about
:,000 acres of this land. They sowed
the corn broadcast like wheat, and the
stalks are as strong as saplings, and
u-ores cf "shoots" are also loaded down.
"It is the most remarkable corn crop
:.;cr produced in the world," declared
Prof. Cox. and, to make the story even
r.iore interesting, he ended it by de
claring that a "coon" was-eaught be
tween the 6talks, and, being unable to
extricate itself because they were so
thick, was killed by those who cam
upon it..
