The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1892-01-04


will not be uninteresting to our readers.
The paper is six column folio well and
neatly printed and full of interesting
matter. 1t tells us that William NJ.
Hand is its publisher, that the office is
in the post Office building on Main
street, up stairs that it is the United
States official paper for Oregon and that
its price is So year, six months 50,
single copy 25 cents. The list of pro-
fessional gentlemen on the first page
shows the names of Drs. G. B. Brooks.
T. B. Jackson and B. w. Mitchell.
Attorneys o. n. Denney, of The Dalles,
l. d. Haines, of Baker City, and c. H.
Miller joaquin Miller,' of Canyon
City, who curiously enough says he will
practice in all the courts of Oregon Eek
cept the county court of Grant county"
(Since writing the above we have
learned that Joaquin" was at that
time county judge of Grant county;
hence the exception.)
J. B. Condor has no card but in another
place his name appears as attorney in
case in which John Williams was plain
tiff and James East defendant. j. @.
Wilson was the circuit Judge, N. R.
Packard, county clerk Thomas Howard
sheriff; J. w. Baldwin his deputy and
E. P. Fitzgerald school superintendent;
n. H. Gates has no card but his name
appears as attorney for Mary Harring-
ton who sues for divorce from her
husband J. F. Harrington. E. Schultz
was then conducting dancing academy
at SIS per quarter for adults and children
$40, at which, "all the modern dances
were taught" Besides the dancing
academy E. Schultz was senior partner
in the jackson saloon, corner of Court
and Second with S. Klein as Junior
Frederick Benzer was running the New
York bakery on Main street, Ben Kor-
ten was conducting the Chrystal saloon
on Washington street, next door to
French & Gilman. There were three
meat markets, the City market on Wash
ington and Third owned by Lauber &
Co., the Washington market, corner of
Court and Second by John Michaelbach,
and The Dalles market SOUTHWEST cor
ner of Washington and Second by Has
tings q Hodge. Thomas Smith was
running the Empire hotel on Main
street, while the Umatilla house, with
Accommodations for 200 guests" a bar
room and reading room and ''free lunch
every morning at 10'' was conducted by
Handley and Sinnott. French & Gill
man announce that they dissolved part
nership on February Dist, 1868 and their
successors French & Co., are conducting
wholesale and retail wine, liquor and
grocery business, corner of Second and
Washington. Bloch Miller & Co., have
a dry goods store and assay Office corner
OF Main and Washington and F. Wyck-
man is making and selling boots and
shoes on Main street, "opposite Chap
ms Hall" S. l.. Brooks gives notice to
delinquent stock holders of the Wasco
Woolen Manufacturing Co., that on the
10th day of March he will sell at public
auction as much of their stock as NAV be
necessary to pay the delinquent assess
mepts thereon. Over forty tons of the
machinery for the woolen mill had ar
rived in the. city on the fourth of the
month, "165 days from New York, via
Cape Horn The announcement is
made that duplicate set of machinery
is enroute, but as there is no wool in the
country, the mill will not be able to 90
into operation until after the spring
clip.
Then, as now, politics occupied the
attention of the average American citi-
zen. A biennial election was approach
ing and the county conventions of two
parties are announced. n. R. Packard
is chairman of the democratic county
convention and the delegates are called
to meet in the city on March 9TH, all of
which shows that the editor of the
Mountdineer then as his successor of the
Times -MountGineer now, sometimes ran
a "dead head" advertisement after it
was out of date. This remark, however,
will not apply to the advertisement of
the ''Union County convention" which
is called for March 18th Robert Mays
is the chairman and he warns the union
men that the public interest demanded
that s'you look after the late method of
Democratic Retrenchment in Wasco
county" which seems to be a sarcastic
way OF limiting that the democrats had
either been doing a little stealing or
practising unwonted extravaganza
