The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1892-07-15

Chas. Dehm, has taken the position
of chief engineer of the Regulator.
Company c, o. N. g., held an election
last evening. incident to the resignation
of First-Lieut. C. H. Moore.
Deputy County Clerk Ed. Martin is
swinging around the circle in the valley,
at Portland, Oregon City and Salem.
The superintendent of construction on
the buildings at Grants, for the distillery
company, expects to locate his family
in The Dalles. A house was hunted up
today.
W. A. Kirby, the fruit dealer on
Third street, delighted THE CHRONICLE
force today by the present of a basket
of fine peaches, plums, ETC., corrobora-
tive of our statement yesterday that
Wasco can beat the world in this line.
That pile of ashes and brick dust, at
the entrance to the Regulator landings is
a standing menace to every foot which
sets a polished shoe upon it. A lady re-
quests that THE CHRONICLE suggest that
the dust be returned to it's maker
otherwise buried in clean sand. ..
A death has occurred in this city to-
day which, while regretted by all true
citizens, must not be IN entioned. Let us
hope for its resurrection as The Dalles
Chamber OF Commerce. The Board of
Trade did it's duty in its time, but
Chambers of Commerce are morepopular,
perhaps.
The Astoria Examiner of the 18th
reached this Office today coated with a
crimson hued dust which permeated
the whole exterior. 1t is possible that
some event, happening after the mail
was done up, compelled Bro. HILBERT to
paint her red, and while in transit the
stuff dried off, rather than on.
The Dalles young men are talking of
organizing regular constitutional boat
club. This will lead to the construction
ola boat house. and as the Columbia at
The Dalles, is perhaps without Il rival
anywhere, for boating, the enterprise
should be looked upon as a laudable
measure for healthful and pleasurable
exercise.
If the funds for the tournament of the
annual firemens state association are
raised here, it Will be in exact proper
ton, in business sense, to 100000 in
three days on an investment of IS 900.
That's what it is. The officers of the as
sociation should be informed at once; if
they do not come to The Dalles they
must go to some other city.
An unfortunate man, whose name we
could not learn, lost both of his legs this
morning on n bridge this side OF the cas-
cades, by the down passenger. He was
taken to Portland. He was on the
bridge, sitting on water barrel, and
would have been safe if he had remained
there, but he attempted to change his
position and was run over.
Mr.. j. s. Schenck, president of the
First National bank, not to be outdone
by Senator Mitchell, NJ. T. Nolan, and
others, appeared at the bank this fore
noon with face devoid of mustache.
The transformation was wonderful, and
his best friends didn't recognize him.
The best joke of many was when he was
mistaken for an eminent Catholic priest.
short time since u bunch of wheat
from Robert Cooper's ranch, about two
miles south of The Dalles, was left in
The CHRONICLE Office by Mr.. A. HI.
Beal- The popularity was. the growth
on the hills, without irrigation. Mr..
Beal informs us that it harvested one
and half tons OF hay to the acre on
sixteen acres. and on ten acres three
tons to the acre was harvested. Some
of it, had it been left standing would
have produced ten bushels of wheat to
the acre.
