in his theory but wrong in his calcula-
ton. Instead of the wave being sixty
feet high it will be 10000 feet. This
makes Cloud Cap one of the few safe
places on the coast as its altitude is
1900 feet.
Lieutenant Crosby and four of his
boats crew were drowned in the surf
near the mouth of 10 creek, fifteen miles
north of Gray's Harbor. He was lin
command of the U. S. steamer Nc
Arthur. There were fifteen in the boat
when it upset, ten being saved.
There is good run of silversides in the
river, but as it is against the law to catch
them they are of no use to humanity.
They are the last fish to come and under
the peculiar fish laws of this state, go
entirely free. The season ought to be so
arranged that at least a portion of the
silverside run could be caught.
We were told yesterday in Hood River
that another person would be sent up in
day or so to be examined as to his or
sanity. We guessed pretty nearly every
body in that neighborhood, but were
told we had not named the right one,
though for that matter it doesn't much
matter which one they bring.
The little 4-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. II. Allen fell off the porch of
the Mt. Hood hotel at Hood River yes
terday evening. It was thought at first
an arm had been broken, but DIR. Bro
sius, who attended the little fellow,
stated that there was severe wrench of
the elbow joint, but no broken bones.
The weather still maintains it's phe-
nomenal torpidity, and everybody swell
ters. The folks down by the sounding
sea stay there and make no sound.
They don't even write to tell fellow
how happy they are. It is not likely
that many of our citizens will let go and
come home until the weather cools or
the Falb tidal wave brings them along
Mrs. Lewis, an aged lady, arrived yes
terday on the west bound passenger,
and is at present at the Umatilla House.
She is quite sick and has no relatives or
others here to whom she can look for
support. It seems she is given to wan
dering, sick most of the time, but di-
viding her patronage among the towns
along the line of the o. R. & N. From
her present condition it is quite proba-
BILE that her wanderings are about at an
end.
The west-bound train yesterday morn
ing was delayed, not arriving here un.
til 9 O'Clock. The cause was contrary
engine that had gotten crossways of the
track at Grant. We boarded it to 90
down to Hood River and get acquainted
with our family. and reached that
charming summer resort about IL 80.
The delay was caused by the bridge
carpenters, with which the road seems
to be lined. The road is being put in
shape very rapidly.
Asa result of judicious advertising.
we make mention of the fact that The
CHRONICLE was not fairly distributed
Saturday night. before Jess Crandall
had his stepladder back. A lady reader
of The CHRONICLE at once reported to
him that a stepladder had been left at
her house by some painters, and to call
and examine it. Jess recognized it at a
glance, and when he came home the

only at such times as it tried to tangle
its legs with his.
The editor of the Heppner Gazette
was personally acquainted with John
