Columbus Day.

In conformity with the proclamation
of President Harrison, designating
October 21st, 1892, as Columbus Day,
Mr.. Troy Shelley, superintendent eof
public schools for Wasco county has in
terested himself in the effort to bring
about a uniform observation of the day
in this county, and in note to THE
CHRONICLE says:
A beautiful badge to be worn in the
public school review, has been designed
and prepared, and will be presented
free to every child in the county attend
ing school.
If any school is not in session, the
school clerk is urged to undert axe the
celebration, either personally or by ap-
pointing some one in the district to at
tend to it.
Mr.. 1. G. Nickelsen of The Dalles, will
distribute the badges, and they will be
given on the following terms only:
First. Each teacher must certify to
Mr.. Nickelsen or myself the names of
all children attending their school,
Second. 1fthe school is not in ses-
sion, the clerk, or the person appointed,
will certify to names of all children who
attended last session.
Third. A representative from each
family must call at Mr.. Nickelsen's store
where he will receive the badges free.
Let US hope that every district in the
county will take part in this instructive
and entertaining celebration of our
nation. Such an opportunity will never
occur to any of us again. =

EASTERN SIMPLICITY.
Some Peculiar Ideas of Oregon Enter
tanned by Intending Visitors.


The delegation of delegates via U. P
r. to the Sovereign Grand lodge of Odd
Fellows, which is to meet in Portland
on Monday passed The Dalles this morn
ing. A committee from Portland re-
ceived them at The Dalles and the trip
will be finished on the Columbia river
by steamer from Bonneville. Some of
the eastern delegates have funny ideas
of the wild and woolly west. Secretary
Gambell is flooded with letters from all
over the country asking for information,
wise and otherwise, concerning nearly
every subject imaginable. Some of
these letters are curious documents.
One man writes to know whether it
would be advisable to take small card
printing job press and few fonts of
type to accomodate the visitors by sup
plying them with. cards, 1t has been
suggested that it would be an enter
tanning feature for the eastern brethren
and fully in accordance with the ex-
pectations of many of them, judging
from their letters, if the Indian tribes
of the Yakima and neighboring reserva-
tions were taken to Portland and
turned loose, as sample of every day
street life in back-woods Oregon.

Saved ais Child,s Life.

A. N. Dflferbough, York, Neb., SAYS !:
"The other day came home and found
my little boy down with cholera morbus.
my wife scared, not knowing what to do.
/ went straightway and got % cent
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhea Remedy, and gave it ac
cording to directions. You never saw
such change in child. His limbs and
body were cold. rubbed his limbs and
body with my hands, and after I had
given him the second dose he went to
sleep, and, as my wife says, ''from a
death-bed he was up playing in three
hours" It saved me a doctor bill of
about three dollars, and what is better,
it saved my child. I can recommend it
with clear conscience" For sale by
