Mr.. and Mrs. Andy Lytle of Prime
vile, and their two soHs were in town
last night on their way to. spend the
summer in Eugene.
Hon. Geo. w. Johnston of Dufur, and
VIM. NJ. McCorkee of Tygh, delegates
to the republican state convention left
this morning on the Regulator for Port
land.
Editor Cradlebaugh of the Glacier, ac-
companied by the genial and good ma
tured Hood River boss carpenter S. A..
Foster, came up on the noon passenger
today.
Hon. Jno. G. Leasure and wife of
Pendleton, stopped over last night on
their way to Portland where Mr.. Leas-
ure goes to attend the republican state
convention.
w. H. Davis of Wapinitia, shipped
last night to Portland SO head of winter
fed steers whose average weight is over
1900 pounds each. They were purchased
by A. Fargher and company.
c. F. Stephens has just received a
large addition to his new stock of gen.
eral dry goods, underwear, hosiery,
boots and shoes, etc., making as hand
some selection as is to be found any
where in The Dalles.
G. S. Miller of Miller's Bridge is in the
city. By the way, the CHRONICLE OBJ
serves that that the Fossil Journal says
it learns from reliable source that Mr.
Miller has struck silver ore in the Mon
umental mine which essays 4071 ounces
to the ton.
Two specimens of hen fruit have been
left at this Office which are remarkable
for their dissimilarity though produced
by hens of nearly equal size. One egg
handed in by Jacob Craft measures ~
inches in circumference, the other left
by Mrs. Chase of Three Mile, measures
exactly 21s inches.
Timothy "Hayseed," tramp i'm
postor of the Bohemian order, put up at
hotel in The Dalles Saturday, repre-
senting that he was an employe on the
CHRONICLE, and thus stood the landlord
off for his board. If he stays in the city
over tonight it would be safe to bet that
Con Howe will run him in.
The many friends OF Mr.. George J.
Weir, for long time connected with
the firm of Staver & Walker will be
grieved to learn of his death on Sunday
afternoon at Los Gatos, California,
where he has been staying for several
weeks with his wife, hoping his health
might be benefited.
Charles Krause. whose place is south
of the old Garrison property and near
the end of the fume, left at this office
today twig cut from an apricot tree in
his orchard, which is literally loaded
with young apricots not in the Least in
jured by the late frosts. AS this fruit ia
more tender than the peach it is hoped
none of the latter have been injured.
From Charles S. Miller we learn that
he has force OF men working on his
coal mine near Fossil. Already a tun-
mel, 250 feet long, has been bored into
the mountain and it is hoped to strike
the vein after a distance of 200 feet
more. AS the quality of this coal is be-
yond question if the quantity turns equal
to Expectations, Mr.. Miller has no
doubt of being able to induce capital to
build a railroad to it.
Frankfort, the new city opposite Asto-
ria, is to have first class newspa per,
under the management of Mr.. E. c..
Pentland, formerly of The Dalles. The
new journal will bear the name Frank
fort Chronicle. A seventeen hundred
dollar press, and corresponding new out
fit, has been purchased for the Office.
This looks like business.
The Heppner Gazette gets off the fol-
lowing: clone the town." An anus
ing incident occurred on Mondays up
train. When the train arrived at lone,
come birds of the Balaam family were
grazing on the egreen, and occasionally
singing that beautiful song peculiar to
the species. One young lady enquired
what.they were, when drummer vol
unteered to say, 'Mocking birds, Miss
DON'T you hear them say lone the
town.

sioner for the construction of Tygh hill
grade, came into town last night. By

have about thirty men and six or eigh
teams at work on the grade. He is viii
ling to bet the cigars that wagons will

first ef July He estimates the cost n
the whole work at $500 and is conf
dent that the entire amount can b.
raised to complete the work.
