Useful Hints.

Wood may be hardened by boiling
eight minutes in olive oil.
Castor oil is the best thing with
which to soften leather.
a person "too busy" to take care of
his health is like workman too busy
to sharpen his tools.
Tight collars are apt to produce per-
manent swelling of the neck.
An oily cloth is the best for dusting
furniture.
When blowing out candle hold it
higher than the mouth and blow up
ward. The wick will not then smoldrr
down.
For hands that pcrspire, keep clean
and sprinkle with orris root.
One ounce of wormwood to one pint
of alcohol makes an excellent linimcnt.
Sweet oil rubbed on a wound made
by poison oak is excellent.
To prevent cabbage from scenting
the house unpleasantly while it is cook
ing carry out the following directions:
Have the water boiling very fasts
Add teaspoonful of salt and halfa tea
spoonful OfsOda to the water and then
put the cabbage in. Keep it boiling
hard and fast for twenty-five minutes,
but do not cover it up. Ifthere is not
too much water, so that it boils over,
there will be no bad OdOr. At the end
Of twenty-five minutes take the cabbage
out, chop it, add butter or cream and
season to taste.
A towel rack made with several arms
fastened to half circular center, which
in turns fastens to the wall, is conve-
nient place for drying dish towels.
A spot on that new silk dress may be
removed by putting it in sweet milk
and letting it stand until it sours.
The common May-weed blossoms put
in alcohol are superior to arnica as Fin
iment.
Nails dipped in soap may be driven
easily into hard wood.

Fall Planting oriTrccS.


One of the most important points IN
favor of fall planting OF trees is that in
nearly all eases there Is more time,
The work can he done after the corn Is
cut up and the wheat sown, and thcr
is lcsS to do than in the spring, when
other work is mow pressing, Then
also the soil is usually in better coudi-
ton 20 work into proper tilth to
receive the roots. One oi the most hu-
portaut things is to have the foil well
prepared, so that II can readily be filled
in around the roots, Whether the
trees are set in the fall or in the spring
the roots should VOMe into close CNh-
tact with the soil The preparation Of
the soil cam largely he done IN advance.
Good drainage can I've arranged at any
time that the other farm work will
permit GCueUllN trees should not hc
;ramsplautrd until hard trOSts have
killed the leaves and they have fallen
oil, At the same time the work
should hc done hctow the ground
freezes, Many good growers consider
it n better plan to prepare the ground
in the fall rs nearly ready for planting
as possible. Then get the trees and
heel them IN carefully. The udvaN-
tagr in this is that the planting can
nearly always hc dOuc much earlier in
the spring than would otherwise be
possible, and in nearly all eases early
planting will give the best results,
by setting out In the fall the soil
will get well settled around tie roots
dnriug the winter, and the trees, being
in their places, will he ready e. start To
grow as soon as the season opens in
the spring and will get much better
established before hot, dry weather sets
in than is possible when the planting
is not done until spring.
In transplanting trocs of all kinds
carc should be taken to cut OF all
bruised or damaged roots and then to
cut back the tops in proportion to the
roots, Set the Tree carefully, see that
all the roots are straight and then I'LL
in the soil carefully. As soon us the
roots are well covered tramp the soil
carefully down and then fill up full 10
the surface, making Il small bank of
earth close up around the stem of the
tree This will aid in protecting
against mice. The stem of the trees
should also be protected against rabbits
by wrapping with old cloths or wire
screen cloth, or 10y washing with glue
and asatwtida. Later on, after the
ground freezes, it will pay to mulch
well.

printed the following;
When the Third regiment, ., \, c.,
was encamped at The UNIias in July,
1891, a sham battle was a feature ot the
programme arranged to take place on
the Fourth. 1t was to hc the drawing
card of The Dalles celebration aUd Wa~
extensively advertised. Bus, fortunate.
ly, It never came of, and those who
knew all the circumstances ilIt sur
that tragedy was aveCted by The uIniS-
SON of this part of the p,ogUNlutc,
The encampmeut had been grassiy
mismanaged and the soldiers had r,-
ceived poor ratioas and treatments in
consequence there was a strong feeling
of dissatisfaction among the men to
wards some of the ollicers in command,
particularly toward Colonel houghtou,
who soon aiIerward resigned. The
men were anxious to break camp, and
covert threats were heard IN some
quarters, TO be executed In the event of
the men being compelled to take part
in the sham battle. These coming to
the ears of the officers, Il consultation
was held. GoveMor Penuoyrr the
commander-in-chiyi VINO happened to
be in The Dalles az tuc time, was APP
preached by Coluaei Haaghtou, who
sought his advice rsardHE the advisa-
bility of postponing the fight capt,
Gatfney of L company, OF Fossil, one
of the most capable Officers in the 0.

the governor, who asked his opinion
regarding the matter. The captain r.
piled that as the men were very tired,
and as it was reported that certain
threats had been maGr, he thought ii
would be wisest and safest 10 let the
battle so by the board. his advice Was
acted upon, and the wisdom contained
in it was made apparent tuc following
day when a company musEet, contain
ing ball cartridge, was found 10y the
conductor on the train ut Hood River
1t had been carelessly lett behind by
one of the soldiers. The circumstance
was kept quiet, but it leaked out among
the officers and caused at once thrill
of terror and a feeling Of intense thank
fulness in the hearts of more than one
who took part in the first and last en-
campment of the Third regiment,

HOOD RIVER Or, Sept. 1, 1898.

HOOD RIVER OT., sept. i, 1875.
Editor DdlleS Chronicle:
My attention having been called to
an article in your paper OF the 29th ult.,
headed tragedy averted; and as | had
the honor of commanding d company
of Hood River at the time, and us said
article reflects somewhat upon my
company as myself, feel duty bound
to take exceptions to it.
To begin with, it is nearly, if not all
untrue; and the writer of it either
knows it to be so, or has been misiu-
formed, and knows nothing about it.
In either case he is deserving OF the Sc
verest censure at least. The sham bat
tie was to have been a part of the
programme at The Dalles, and | be-
lievs wauld nave been carried out so
far as Col. Houghton was concerned,
or any advice from any captain III the
regiment given the governor, if the
men could have been assembled after
dinner. But when we broke ranks at
The Dalles, the men scattered, and al
though Col. Houghton had the assem-
bly, call blown and ordered every cap
tain to get his company out for the
sham battle, they could not be gather
ed together, and 1 do not believe a
captain in the regiment tried to get his
company out. But on the contrary,
told them to keep out of sight where
they could not find them, or they
would have to 60 out. | know Col.
Houghton did not give it Up until he
saw it was utterly impossible to get the
men together. He then gave it UP
very reluctantly, because the citizens
of The Dalles were clamoring for i,
and kicking the colonel on every side
for not carrying out the programme as
advertised. | will leave it to any
officer in the regiment who knew any
thing about it, if this is not correct.
AS to the management of the camp.
will say that it was not conducted en-
actly up to my ideas of military camp,
but as served my time in the United
States army, perhaps expected too
much from militia officers. [ believe
Col. Houghton did the very best that
he could, and as well as any other man
could hBve done who had no more ex-
perience than he had.
AS to rations being short, will saw
my company complained to me the
second day we were in camp, that they
were not getting enough bread. I at
once interviewed the proper officer
after which the men had all abundance
and Of good quality. This for NV
company, cannot speak for the 9th
ers.
Now l will come to the little fable
of the loaded piece said to have been
left on the train by one of my company,
and discovered Il loaded bullet-baIl ear
fridge. TO this positively assert that
there is not a shade Of truth in II.
When we arrived in Hood River T
took particular pains to see that there
was no state property left on the train
! was the last man to leave the train.
L know there was no piece left, besides
l marched the company to'the armory

Portland,s Great ExpositiOn.

1t was happy thought on the part
of directors and Superintendent +. W.
Allen to secure the services of the un-
rivaled musical director, Liberati, and
his splendid band of fifty instruments
and several soloists for the musical de-
partment of the Great Exposition of
1898. That this will prove a drawing
card goes without saying. Among the
spectacular adjuncts of the great show
will be Madame Girards justly cele-
brated prismatic fountain, aquariums
containing specimens of all the native
fish of the northwest, avaries of native
and imported singing birds, glass spin
ming and weaving, pOtter's wheel,
and many other attractions. The art
gallery will be unusually attractive;
local artists will be largely interested
as well as those from abroad. Els
bury's great painting, Clusters Last
Fight" will be on exhibition. Me-
chanics and manufacturers, the farm,
orchard, dairy, fishery, forest and
mine will all be duly represented. The
Exposition will be "a success.

Death of Eugene 9. Miller.

Eugene s. Miller, deputy internal reve-
nue. collector, died at his home at 472 Or
ange street Saturday.~He had been at his
Office the day before attending to his du-
ties, having recovered from long Illness
which had much Frustrated him. On Fri
day evening he was suddenly taken very
ill and DR.. R. Mcneil, the family physi-
clan, was summoned with all possible
haste. He responded quickly and found
his patient suffering with appendicitis.
It was seen that Mr.. Miller conld not
live unless an operation was performed,
and Dr.. Robert Morris, celebrated New
York specialist, was sent for. Mr.. Miller
was kept under the influence of opiates
during the night and Saturday morning
DR.. Morris arrived. He proceeded at once
to the operation, and with the assistance
of Or. Mcneil this most delicate piece of
surgery-the removal of the veriform ap-
pendix-was performed. The operation
was most successful, but owing to the pa
TENTS weak condition he was unable to
rally and died at 2:30 p. m. He had been
in i'll health for years. but for six months
past his suffering from stomach and nerv-
Gus troubles had been almost continuous.
Mr.. Miller leaves a large circle of friends
to mourn his death, and will be much
missed In many hearts.
The deceased was son of William P.
Miller of Huntington, Mass. He leaves q
wife, who ia daughter Of the late ex-
Mayor L. W. Sperry of this city.

crease $4,452,OOO.
NEwYoRK, June 3.-Prices on the stock market
recovered to-day, the purchases, however, show
ing signs Of being in most cases for the short &C.
count. In this movement General Electric stock
naturally took the lead, and closed two points
above its final price of yesterday. Elsewhere the
gains were irregularly distributed and did not
bear as close proportion as might perhaps have
been expected to the weeks professional selling.
Louisville, for Instance, though advancing from
its lowest, scored a further net decline for the
day. This stock was, however, started of at q
heavy drop in price in reflection of the London
market, In whose early trading American stocks
were particularly weak. Cable advices reported
great depression and disturbance in all London
securities, and 1t was clear that orders FROM this
side had easy work in emphasizing the decifnes.
News from Chicago continued much the same In
character as yesterdays, and actual embarrass-
ment was publicly announced in two cases. The
rally In local market prices, nevertheless prompt
ed Wall street to take such announcements phil
osophically. All this is part OF what the New
York stock market was dIscountng In its over
whelming break month ago. A published re-
port which might have become troublesome, that
the Norfolk and Westerns creditors had taken
legal steps against the company, proved on inves-
tigation to be based upon legal and seemingly
quite unnecessary technically in no respect af-
