ing very well so far this season, the
catch being unusually light.
Mrs. Harry Hogue, who has been
visiting Mr.. and Mrs. Schenck, re-
turned to Portland this morning.
Seth Morgan was passenger on the
Regulator this morning. We heard
him remark 16 to as he stepped down
the gang plank.
The case of the State against Bullock
was dismissed by Justice Davis yester-
day on account of the complaining
witness failing to appear.
Whether due to the increased pas
senger rates or something else the
travel on the Regulator has largely in
creased since the new rates went into
effect on the o. r. & N.
B. s. Pague, the weather observer,
has kindly consented to continue the
present beautiful days, and has ordered
the same kind of weather and station
ary temperature for tomorrow.
Mr.. Herrick expects to have all his
salmon labeled and in cases by tomor-
row night. The Wingate building
where the work is being done presents
busy appearance, the entire crew em-
ployed at the cannery being at work.
Mr.. L. McMorris, of Walla Walla,
is in the city for brief visit. Mr..
McMorris was at one time resident |
OF The Dalles, way back in the early |
SOS when Col. Sinnott hunted Indians
before breakfast and ran ferry across
the Columbia by salmon power.
Frank Malone, of Antelope, was
thrown from his wagon night before
last while on his way to this city, and
his collar-bone was broken. The acci-
dent was caused by the wheels striking
a rock, or dropping into chuck-hole.
He arrived here yesterday evening,
and his injuries were attended to by
DR.. Hollister.
Reports from Vancouver this morn
ing are to the effect that heavy forest
fires are raging in several portions of
he county. We refer to it here more
because it affirms what we have said
forest fires, that is, that
there are dozens of them where there
are no sheep to one where the sheep
are. The fires in Clark county started
from clrearings, not from sheep
camps, because there are no sheep
in the woods there.
The horse, Picnic, that ran in the ,
races here is the horse that belonged
20 charley Bird of Vancouver. and that
vas sold for shoer's lien in Portland,
Unknown to his owner some time v
Iince. The horse was taken below on +
he D. P. & A. N. line Monday, and I
Bird sued out writ of replevin and I
he sheriff took charge of the horse at b
lancouver. There promises to be a n
'retty law suit grow out OF the matter, b
Thich Bird should win, as he was SIM |,
ly robbed out of his property. t,
Heretofore The Dalles has contri- n
uted generously towards keeping the q
Dad to the ferry in Klickitat county, n

ause it was benefited by the trade 81

} the benefits are mutual: her citizens NJ
citing the benefit of better prices for ~
leir grain. Complaint Is made that o'
