A letter to Col. Sinnott from one of

Arbor college boys swooped down upon
the Notre Dame boys to take all the

Sunday in The Dalles always brings
out large delegation of promenaders.
Yesterday the streets of the city, altho'
closed to all business except such as the
passing trains afford, were exceptionally
enliyened by the number of visitors and
citizens who were availing themselves of
the pleasure of driving or walking in the
beautiful sunshine.
Portland is having another spasm of
virtue just now. Her grand jury, it is
thought has got long and steady pull
on the police. When people are too
busy to show their virtue except by fits
and in conniptions, it is merely sign
that such virtue as they have is in i'm
minent danger of expiring in convul-
sions.
A truck load of granite was stalled in
Washington street, Portland, few days
ago, and a team of eight truck horses
could not pull it out. At length the
horses were removed, and the truck was
chained to an electric motor car, and the
modern Hercules, electricity, pulled the
wagon out of the hole without it being
necessary for any one to put his shoulder
to the wheel. In few years electric
motors may take the place of truck
horses as well as of car horses.
A snake has been found in Ireland at

large number. of people. The solitary
snake of Ireland will be preserved in a
glass case for the inspection of future
generations.

Fish! Salmon! You should take a
look into the rapids of the dalles of the
Columbia on Sunday, if you want to
feast your eyes on salmon. The wheels,
traps, etc., were of coursesnot operating
yesterday, but visitors to the dalles
could not enumerate the mass of splen-
| did salmon in the channels just waiting
for the hour to come when they could
swim in and be caught. Tt would be a
low estimate to say that thousands were
in sight. Indians, across the dalles,
were landing them with the agility of
George Francis Train.
Some time last week J. H. Spoonemore
plowed up skeleton on his farm near
the head of Sherar's grade. It appears
