The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1892-09-21


the East End this morning that cats
tracks were noticed. There must have
been frost all about US. The mercury
stood at Al minimum. But we had a
royal sunrise and delightful day.
Col. J. B. Yeagley, of Coos county,
now in the city, is a gentleman well
posted on the political issues of the
day, and he will be heard from, prob
ably, in Wasco county, before he re-
turns to Coos.
1t has been found that the town of
Spokane is built on gold. Perhaps this
is why the citizens have been getting in
and digging. Can't some benefactor get
in and discover a gold mine under The
Dalles.
Who says Astoria has not reached a
high state of civilization? Her TRACE
dies are the most startling and original
on record. She blew up a sawmill on
the departure of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge for Flavel last Saturday.
Mr.. E. G. Pentland takes charge ofthe
editorial columns of the West Side, at
Independence this week. We are glad to
hear this, as Mr.. Pentland is thorough
newspaper man all round, and will bring
the West Side up to its former standard
of excellence.
The cannery at Seufert's is again run
ming to it's full capacity putting up
salmon. The crew which operated
Pillar Rock during the summer are en-
ployed. Mr.. Haveley, and his crew
which operated the Seufert can1rery
during the summer, have been trans
ferred to Seattle, for the cannery of Hon.
Geo. T. Myers.
The controversy which Cass, our faith
full Cascade Locks correspondent has
stirred up about the block house, and
the Indian massacre of March 26th,
1856 (not February az given in the Ore
gonian,) will receive due attention, and
the history of that stirring scene will be
straight, for the first time, perhaps,
since the fight; through an article in
the columns of The CHRONICLE.
Mr.. R. W. Baxter, general superin-
tendent of the Union Pacific, has just
returned from a trip over all the lines
of this division. He says the outlook
generally throughout the country he
visited is very good, and he thinks there
is more wheat this year than ever be-
fore. In some places where it was
thought the crop would be a total loss it
yielded 20 bushels per acre, and great
deal of wheat which it was supposed
would be shriveled is turning out very
good.
Newspapers are sometimes employed
in fiction as the medium of some start
ling bit of intelligence to one of the
personages of the story, but truth is
sometimes stranger. The father of
Johnny King, while in A. NJ Williams
& Co. IS store last night, received through
a newspaper the first intelligence of his
boy for five years, whom he has mourn
ed as dead. The boy, who is now living
near Kansas City, Mo-, did not write
home during his long absence, and the
sad news awaits him of the death of his |
mother and a sister.
In speaking of oysters, and where the
finest are grown, Sam Campbell says
that at Lynn Haven bay, Virginia, there |
grows an oyster that is supposed to be |
the finest in the world, but that the bed
is owned by four families who hold the |
entire product for their own use, except |
that every Thanksgiving day, bushel
of the luscious bivalves are sent to the
president of the United States. So if |
any oyster lovers in The Dalles desires |
to feast on these famous oysters it will !
become necessary to either marry into
one of those four F. F. v or else be-
come president.
