!. The open-air concert given last night
was highly appreciated by a large con-
course of citizens. The rendering of the

factor in making The Dalles place that

here for time.
Last evening the CHRONICLE man met
his old-time friend Mr.. Jacob Craft of
Nansene, who after the usual friendly

that the people on the Tygh Ridge have
thrown off their kicking straps, and
have quit growing and complaining
about hard times, as we have the best
prospects for a good crop we ever had in
the world
A few days ago as big black boar was
industriously looking for some stray
gleanings of wheat on the track back of
the Wasco warehouse a train of cars
came along and cut his head off as slick
as a whistle, directly back of his ears.
An autopsy was held on his remains by
some adjacent Cinnamon who furnished
the deceased with grave in their pork
barrel.
Hon. w. Med. Lewis has completely
routed the crickets from his dominions
in Wapinitia. His latest strategetical
movement against the forces of the
enemy was to purchase band of long
cared hogs of the razor back variety, and
turn them loose in his grain fields. The
moment a cricket hears a hog flap his
ears that moment he remembers that
important business interests call him
elsewhere, and that Mr.. Lewis grain is
no account anyhow.
