Dalles. FleecY clouds filed the entire

throughout these glorified clouds, and
altogether presented one of the rarest
sights possible to witness in any cline.
Bungling safe blowers attempted to
blow open Mr.. F. II. Rowe's safe the
night of the 4th. l. was in the open
space in the new lumber yard on Second
street and contained nothing but some
papers and books, but the burglars sup
posed it contained money and tried it..
The attempt was unsuccessful, but the
safe was almost ruined. The combina-
tion plate was blown off and large in
denture made in the door. The hinge
was also tampered with. The crime
was not noticed by officers, as the time
was propitious for all kinds of explo-
sions, and nothing was thought of it,
being the 4th of July.
THE little steamer Lorelei, which came
down through the Snake and Columbia
rivers, left this morning down the river,
under the direction of her captain and
owner, Mr.. G. G. Walker. The boat
was hauled around the most dangerous
rapids several days ago. The little
steamer is stern-wheeler, and responds
very quickly to the movements of the
pilot. The propeller revolves very fast
and the steamer makes nine miles an
hour with little effort. The Lorelei left
for Hood River this morning, and its
final disposition will depend upon cir
cumstances. It would be an admirable
Npleasure launch.

This was easily accomplished with

JACKSON auLIcK DROWNED.
He Falls From a Fish Wheel Into th'
Current of the COIumbia.

The cruel Columbia has swallowed up
another victim. Jackson Gulick, aged
about 80 years, was drowned early yes
terday morning at his fathers fish
wheel. Some drift had foated in the
wheel and he prepared to get it out.
Among the drift there was log that
had f1oated in, which he proposed to
snare with rope. For this purpose he
stepped upon brace, which was thought
to be secure, but which gave way be-
meath his weight, having been probably
Ioosened by the floating drift. He fell
through and into the current, which
rapidly carried him onward and into a
whirlpool, when he sank, never to rise
again in life. His father had to witness
the agonizlng spectacle unable to lift 3
hand in aid of his drowning boy. The
young man must have been injured
when he first sank, for he seemed dazed
when he appeared on the surface the
first time, and though good swimmer,
made no effort to swim.
The scene OF the drowning was at the
fish wheel owned by his father, which is
the first above The Dalles. 1t is placed
just above 3-Mile rapids, through which
Jackson Gulick passed. The body has
not been recovered.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
It Was Celebrated in The Dalles by the
Citizens Leaving Town.

The Fourth of July WAS not celebrated
in The Dalles, and the most of our citi-
zens went out into the country and at
various points along the river for an out
ing on the nations birthday. The
largest number went to Hood River, but
many went to Mosier, Bonneville and
the Locke, seeking quiet and shade,
rather than celebration and noise.
Many, also, went to Dufur, the wagon
cite and hacks brought into use, but the
attraction of the river trip and the band
Influenced far the greater share to take
the Regulator.
HOOD RIVER.
The principal celebration of the day
was at Hood River, probably as many
as 300 citizens of The Dalles taking the
Regulator for that beautiful vicinity.
Arriving there most of Hood River peo-
Nple were found to be on Neal creek,
about five miles away, but there were
others, including base ball nine, who
met The Dalles citizens. The Dalles
band gave concert on the street, fol-
lowed by dinner. Then another con-
cert, and then the ball game began.
The score stood Ii to Is when, unfortu-
nately, an alteration began. 1t was
Hood Rivers innings, and The Dalles
nine had one man out, and two others
on bases, when dispute arose as to the
unpire's decision, Mr.. Ed. Patterson.
Some one (not connected with the play
Vers) very inelegantly accused Jas. Ma
loney of being liar, whereupon that
young man contradicted the statement
by blow in the mouth. Others rushed
to the fallen ones aid, but Maloney held
his own against all odds for a time.
When the fight ended, an inventory
showed several bruised heads and a
loss of considerable gore. The harmony
of the day was spoiled from this on. and
the visitors were glad to depart when
the boat whistled to go. No blame is
| attached to the Hood River nine, and a
return game will be played at The Dalles
next Sunday.
DUFUR.
| Dufur's festivities extended from the
day before. The afternoon of the Sd
there was horse races. On the 4th the
program consisted of music, an grafton,
a barbecue and races of various kinds.
The Grafton by Rev. Merrill was very
fine. There were foot races, novelty
and bicycle races. In the bicycle 2-mile
race Walton Brigham was the winner.

STEVENSON FOR PRESIDENT.
Committeeman Norris Thinks Adai the
Ideal Candidate.

Washington, June 16.-(opecial) -
Mr.. James l.. Norris, member OF the
National Democratic executive com
mittee. is out in an interview in the
Post favoring the nomination of Vice
President Stevenson. He says the
Democracy has many good men, and
adds:
Let us, for instance, select Nice-Pres-
ident Stevenson, with a most satisfac-
tory record upon all the cardinal doc
trines of our party. Would not his NOM
nation be received with acclaim by ev-
cry Democrat who places party fealty
above all personal preferences? Under
his leadership the campaign would be
aggressive from the begfnning-no
Mailing to conceal skeletons, no lip
sealing to prevent indiscreet utter
ances. no scandal TO be cleared away,
no political inconsistencies to be ex-
cused.
Ellis public life has been long and
varied. He enters the campaign with
the Endorsement of the American peo-
Die for next to the highest office in
their gift, with a possibility OF the
highest at the time of his election.
1.-THE people remember or will recall
mis- eminent service in connection with
a great departmental office, exceed,
ing in patronage all the others, and
his loyalty to his party throughout It's
administration.
"He has been for almost four years
conspicuous figure in the upper
house of Congress. Has he brought
any scandal upon this country? Has
he been accused Of unfairness to his
political opponents? Has he in any
way at any time been false to his high
trust? If nominated, the people vii
answer these question at the polls il
