The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1892-12-16

Quite love scene was Witnessed on
Washington street this morning between
dusky maiden and her sweetheart.
The characters were we'll played and as
true to life as though they were con-
iducted by pale faces. He humored her
pout, and finally kissing, they made up,
and he surrendered the pack to her.
Nearly every day there are fresh evil
dences accumulating to show the neces-
sity for something in the shape of a
Bureau of Information, or board of trade
in The Dalles, We all know the useful
ness of such organizations. We should
keep up board OF trade constantly, and
not let another one die for lack of sup
port.
Even in this s'off" year in the valley,
according to reports the farmers have
realized handsomely from their prune
orchards. A car load was shipped to
Chicago last week from Oak Grove.
which had been purchased at 915 cents
per lb. One man realized $4,000 from
ten acres, another 81 300 from 515 acres.
The Dalles crops being better than any
thing in the valley, show much more
satisfactory returns.
A gentleman from Port Townsend in
forms us that in jefferson county two
lDalles city men were up for Office. R.
EE. Moody, son of Gov. Moody, ran for
Vcounty attorney. His competitor was
elected by 14f. J. N. Laubach, formerly
bookkeeper for Snipes & Kinersly, was
elected county clerk by thirty-three
majority. Both gentlemen are republi-
cans, and both are popular.
Portland and Walla Walla are wrest-
ling with the muddy streets, and ac-
cording to all accounts they are far
worse in either city than are the streets
of The Dalles. There seems to be no
way in which this nuisance can be
| abated. The rain will descend, and
travel makes mud and scatters it far and
wide. Until all the streets are perma-

system adopted to keep the thorough
fares clear of the all-pervading mud,
the public must endure the inconven-
ience.
We acknowledge the receipt of beau
tiful boquet of roses from Mrs. s. L.
Brooks flower garden, comprising the
following varieties: Safrano, NAL
maison, Devonienses, Madam Bravy,
Hermosa, La France, Queen of Crimsons,
Mad. Rachel, Mad. Welch, Duchesse of
Brabant, and several others. What re-
gion of country other than Oregon can
duplicate this on the 10Th day of Decem-
her? The Dalles, with its genial clim-
ate, 116 feet above sea level, nestled in
4 the heart of the fertile and prolific fruit
regions of the Inland Empire, sends it's
fragrant and soul inspiring greeting to
those less cheerfully surrounded, pro-
claiming: Come, there is ample room
with us for tens of thousands disposed
to better conditions by change of To-
cality. Come, and unite your fortunes
with us, where it delight to live.
Capitalists will find no better openings
for business in America, than may be
found right here at The Dalles. 1t is
those who are abundantly able to enjoy
this climate that we would especially
ask: ''Lend US your ear
VIM. Bethune, rancher living near
Mitchell, was found dead in his bed at
The Umatilla this morning. He has
been in the city for some time past,
rooming at The Umatilla, but was very
seldom seen about the hotel until after
nightfall. He has been an excessively
hard drinker, and this was the cause as
signed for his death by the jury at a
coroners inquest this forenoon. When
