There wns n small shooting affair nj
the Cascade Locks lust week. 1t orig
mated over the county road, or rather
the road tax; Mr Biack, the road sa-
pervsor doing the shooting. No one
was hit, except with rock, aud no
damage was done The shooter left be-
fore the time for his trial.
The horticultural society meets here
on the llth; too late for the berries, too
early for other fruits. AZ far ns dis
play Is concerned, the society might az
well have met In the sagc brush. The
meeting Is ill-timcd, but II we cannot
show our visitors an abundance Of fruit,
We can at least make their visit pleas
ant one.
The steamer Regulator landed here
Tnursdny, just below Joe Wilson's
warehouse. This is the only time she
has really landed AT Hood River, and ii
Is more the pity. If Binger Hermann
or tue democratic congress would pass
a hill compelling the Columbia to re-
nrdn'Ut its present stage 70 would be
great thing for our little city.

cred from the bruises received at the
factory lust week, and tells us that
hereafter he intends 10 remove his
clothes 10y hand, 1t was pretty hard

Captain a. :. Blowers has concluded
to remove with his family 10 Iowa; and
unless something unforeseen arises will
start next week. Mr.. Lawrence Blow
el's aud wife will gowith them. We IT,
gret exceedingly to lose them, but since
the captain sold his business to Mr..
Crowcll, there does not seem to be any
opering satisfactory to him here.
The berry market in Helena is now
Si per crate, and this is said to be bed
rock price. AS The eXpressuge Is one
dollar, this price would net here 50 per
crate, or IL cents per box. There is
plenty of money in the business even
at this price, and as the first berries
bring as high as 40 cents per box, the
average for the season would be way
above this sum.
AT The Dalles citizens mass meeting
for nomination of city officers, Wednes-
day evening, Robert Mays was nom
mated for mayor and Menefee for re-
cordcr. Henry Maloney was NOM
mated for city marshal. II. V. Gibons
will run independent for marshal, and
George knaggs and Malcolm McInness
will probably make an independent
race for the recordership.
The first burned bridge of the year
got in its work between here and the
Locks, Thursday, about 200 feet of it
being destroyed. One of the nuisances
connected with it was that Mr.. Tucker,
who has been furnishing the berry
crates and boxes had stock of box
material on the freight train due here
in the afternoon. His old stock is en-
tirely used up, and shippers were con-
sequently left. The steamer Baker
can now make her value felt, but the
company soon forgetsits boats when it
Is not using them.
