The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1891-08-05

borrowed one of this class from Alex
Anderson and put his traps in it and
started anew, and as no word has since
been heard from him, the freight wagon
may have stood the strain of carrying
him to his destination.
Mr.. Joseph Paquet, of Portland, con-
tractor for the Regulator, is in the city.
Buckskin Joe paraded the streets to-
day, in grand style, behind his fine
three horse trained tandem team.
Al. Sutton of Portland is In the city
on his way from the Malheur country.
He has sixty-six head of horses on the
way to The Dalles, from whence they
will be shipped to Portland and offered
for sale.
Noah advertised the flood. He lived
thr> ugh it and the fellows who laughed
at him were drowned. Ever since then
the advertiser has been getting along and
those that don't advertise in the DAILY
Chronicle have been getting Left
We understand thSt only two persons
left The Dalles today to meet Senator
Mitchell at the Cascade Locks, and
one OF these was newspaper reporter
Times. MountGineer.
Brother Michel blunders. 1t was not
a reporter, but the great. editor himself,
of the best paper in Eastern Oregon
who went down yesterday, to meet Sena-
tor Mitchell. The CHRONICLE does moth
ing by halves. AN
One of Will Graham's youthful GUS
toners, who is engaged in business in a
small way took in 45 cents yesterday and
forthwith proceeded to invest it. He
bought five cents worth of peanuts, five
cents worth of candy, twenty cents
worth of cigarettes and the remainder
he invested in nine ears of green corn,
at Graham's restaurant, which he ate to
the last grain.
We regret to hear that John w.
Carey of Kingsley met with an accident
last Monday that nearly cost him his
life. He was riding in the timber
when he came upon coyote, and
thinking 10 lasso it, he put spurs to his
horse and ran after it. By some means
he struck violently against a tree and
was thrown to the ground. Further
particulars we were unable to learn but
heard that he was severely injured
Mr.. P. Mcllheney of the Cascade
Locks to whom the late Alexander
O"Toole left all his property, made
lucky find the other day in a whole in
the wall of O'Toole's old saloon. While
making some improvements in the |
building which necessitated the removal |
of board nailed to the wall, back of
the front door, he discovered a whole |
about three inches square that had been
bored our with an auger Putting his |
hand in, he found tin box which con-
tanned 500 in gold and IS in silver.
AS proof that there is little danger
of OVERRIDING the fruit industry of this
country, and that the business will be a
sure success when it is attended to in |
proper business manner, we may men
ton an instance related to US by Mr.. NJ
N. Rand of Hood River. Mr. T. r. Coon
who is one of the first to start the extern
sive raising of strawberries, in the Hood |
valley got an average of eight cents
pound for his crop three wears ago.
Next year he had a larger crop which
he sold at thirteen cents, and this year
he got an average of eighteen and
quarter. The superiority of the Hood |
River berry will be apparent when it is
remembered that the common price for
straw berries, in the retail market of this
city was three boxes for a quarter, and
If one will allow a fair retail profit to the
dealer, Mr.. Coon must have got not far
from three times the price for his berries
that the fruit raisers around The Dalles
got for theirs.
