The DaIIes Public schools.

A meeting of the board of school di-
rectors was held last evening at which
were present Directors S. B. Adams, o.
Klnersly and o. D. Doane. The meet
ing was called to consider matters which
would be laid before the meeting of the
taxpayers next Friday. The directors
had asked and obtained from Principal
tendance, present and past. The figures
which are published below, show that
the present classes are crowded to their
full capacity, and that the corps OF
teachers has about all it can do in caring
for the pupils that crowd the rooms.
The statement for the last four years of
the value of school buildings and prop
erty owned by the district is as follows
1892, 2s,2OO; 1898. $3.50; 1894, 29, 900 ;
1895, 53 ZOO. The increase between '94
and '94 is due to the purchase of the
academy building and grounds. The at
tendance by rooms and grades is shown
by the following table of figures:

More Than Six Mill1on rounds.

Some time ago THE CHRONICLE pub
lished the statement that over $500, 900
had been received in The Dalles for wool
during the past summer. These figures
were based on an estimate of 6,000, 900
pounds as the product which had been
shipped from the producers of the coun-
try tributary to The Dalles through the
city warehouses. The Pendleton Tri-
figures as inaccurate, and in an article
upon the respective merits of The Dalles
and Pendleton as wool markets said ::
Conservative estimates place the
amount of wool handled at The Dalles at
about {, 900, 900 pounds. This is in ex-
cess of the number of pounds shipped
from Pendleton last year by about one
Million
Although the first figures quoted were
an estimate, THE CHRONICLE believed
them substantially correct, but in order
to settle all doubt has taken the trouble
to verify them. Access was given to a
record kept of all the wool shipped
through The Dalles warehouses in re-
cent years and the result of the inquiry
shows that the figures given by this
paper were not one whit too high, but
that 100000 was an underestimate.
The following table taken from authentic
records, shows the amount of wool
shipped from The Dalles for the past
four years to be as follows: In 1892,
4,161 ,547; 1898, 1881 .54S; 1894, 1885,
412; 1895, 6,215, ,O93. Between the first
two years mentioned the increase was
100000. Between '93 and '94, 800, 900,
the latter being the flood year when the
transportation of wool was interfered
with for time. The increase which '95
shows over '94 is 1895 pounds,
which at an average of 10 cents per
bound or even less is no inconsiderale
sum itself.
The reasons for the increase in the
amount shipped through The Dalles is
not due to any great stimulation of the
wool growing industry, but because this
city became the shipping point for Sec
tions which, in former years. sent wool
to other places. Many teams came here
that before went to Heppner, Arlington
and points similarly situated with re.
gard to the railroad. The higher price
paid in this market was the magnet that
drew these shippers here. The price
ranged in The Dalles from to cents
higher than in Pendleton or the towns
mentioned. Next year the warehouses
expect to see another large increase in
wool receipts. Buyers have recognized
this place as the largest market, and will
be here to do their buying. The wool
will be here to meet them. Already the
warehouses are planning for additional
room to handle the expected clip.
1t is not thought improbable that wool
from the Yakima country will be hauled
here, as with the opening of the locks,
or without it, such rates can be secured
that will make The Dalles the best point
of consignment on the coast, from the
grower to the Eastern consumer.
These figures are given with pride.
They are weigbty with meaning, since
the steady increase from year to year
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1896-01-28

cannot fail to be of interest, both to
those who are well acquainted with the
biblical history and those who are not.
The doors will open at Z 80 and the lec-
ture begin promptly at 8. The promo
ters of the winter course hope to see a
large attendance present this evening.
Two deeds were filed in the county
clerks Office today. One was from E.
and F. Spicer to A. S. Bennett for an
undivided one-fifth interest in the NE14,
NW14 Sec 5, lots 8, 6,7 Sec 5, TIP 1 N

y The Orchestra Union will be at the
Baldwin opera house on Thursday and
Friday evenings, when it will furnish
choice selections between the acts of the
play. Effie Ellsler made her appearance
at the Marquam Grand in Portland last
evening and received with an enthusiastic
welcome. The Oregonian in speaking
of the performance of Gas You Like It''
said: ''The enthusiasm was undoubtedly
genuine, and the favorable impression
made by Miss Ellsler was attested by
earnest rounds of applause and repeated
curtain calls at the close of every act.
The play is peculiarly French in its &C.
ton, and the characters of Camille and
Armand make demands on the vital
powers of those representing them that
are possessed by but few. English-speak-
ing professionals. The play well pro-
duced always fires and affects an audi
ence and in this Miss Ellsler and Mr..
Holbrook Blinn last evening succeeded
so well that they were honored with a
double curtain-call at the close of the
fourth act.'' =
Among the many plans for the inn
provement of the river between The
Dalles and Cello, the most novel we
have heard was one expressed by bust
ness man this morning. His scheme is
to have the penitentiaries of Oregon and
Washington located on the shores of the
Columbia and for the convicts to be put
to work building whatever it was de-
cided to build-canal or boat railway.
By these means. the protector of the
plan argued, the convicts of the two
states would be kept at employment
which would keep their hands from
growing soft, and at the same time be
fastening on the good work of opening
the Columbia river. If the convicts of
Tennessee work upon the roads and those
of other states do work requiring them
to be without the prison walls, why
shouldn't the inmates of the Oregon and
Washington penitentiaries roll away the
rocks that bar commerce upon the Co
lum bia? In the season when the
salmon were running food would be
cheap and few guards sitting upon the
basaltlc cliffs that line the Columbia,
with their feet hanging down Eve mean
the guards feet) could, by their Win
chesters, prevent any attempt at escape.
Solomon's saying, "There is nothing new
under the sum-" is proved erroneus and
here we have scheme that beats Alex
ander Kunz' grain donation party all
hollow.

shows that the advantages of this mar
ket are not transient. What the figures
will be for the coming summer, there is
no guessing, but it is safe to say all pre-
vious gains will be surpassed.

AND STILL ANOTHER. THE RESIDENCE OF MIR. R. NJ. GALBRAITH BURGLAR
 HEED LAST NIGHT. A Negro Caught in His Own Trap, Tells for Mercy, but in the
 Melee Makes His
 Escape.
 

The seat of war was last night transferred to the residence of Master Mechanic R. NJ. Galbraith, on Fifth avenue, and the encounter came very near proving disastrous for at least one of the insurgents.
 For some time past the burglars have been trying their hands on the people of Pine Bluff, but with little success. Last night a singular incl dent came near resulting in the cap ture of the robber.
 This is how it happened. The family had retired In Mr. Gal braith's vest pocket was his watch, which for some reason or other had been detached from the chain. Mrs. Galbraith was awakened by some noise and in a few seconds the watch fell to the floor. Mir. Galbraith asked what was the matter and his wife told him that some one yves in the room with theintent of burglarizing. \ gun was the next thing sought and in the robbers haste to make his exit ran behind the door instead of through the opening. Thinking himself caught the robber yelled Justify. Mir. Galbraith, who had not found his pistol, called to his sons and in the melee the unceremenious caller made his escape. In thefuture if he will inform those he intends to visit the date and hour of his call he will receive | warm reception. It may get uneomfortably hot yet.

DETROIT, Mich, July 13.-Mem- bers of the National Brotherhood of Theatrical Stage Mechanics, an organization of stage hands em- ployed in the theaters of the leading cities of the country, are gathering for their second annual convention which will begin tomorrow and re- main in session for several days. One of the chief points to come be- fore the convention will be the con sideration of effecting a close cooperation with the National League of Musicians, for the mutual benefit of of both bodies.

ppE POLICE COURT DID A RUSH. ING BUSINESS THIS
 MORNING.
gysry Known Form, Size and Color of Criminals Appear Before
 the Bar.

When Judge Brown entered the
 Police court room this morning he little dreamed that such formidable
 array of "talent" would make its
 appearance before him.
 It took all the members of both
 the day and night forces to bring
 the culprits in to face the music. There were thirty-two of them in all and the smirks. the smiles and defi- ant looks that could be seen on
 those thirty two faces would make 4 student of human nature cross eyed. Six of then were vagrants
 and will labor for their daily bread
 on the city's streets. Nine others
 got mixed up in a chair fight while |lururiating in an east end resort. Then there were drunk and dress ed ups," and plain fights, enough to
 satisfy lie most fastidious. One of the interesting cases was that which grew out of a quarrel between Re becca Brown and Harriet Hicks who disagreed because their children fought.
 Rebeeea threw herself on the mercy of the court and fell into nice little line. Harriet who was discarged, tried all the arts of eloquenee and gaafiell1at ti0na ta ahnw how hard |Rebeeea had struck young Hicks, and in her mistaken zeal came near pounding the life out of spectator light in the presence of the judge. When the gang started for the city s magnificent public building by the lrlyer's sidn it looked like Populist delegation enroute to the coming convention in St. Louis.

A UNIQUE JOURNEY.
Two Men Who Are Riding Across the Con.
 tInsnt on Ponies.


 tInent on Ponies.
 Much interest was manifested at Pierre, S. D., the other day on the ar rival of two men clad ill cowboy garb and each astride of good pony, fol lowed by two pack ponies, on the backs of which were strapped cooking utensils and camp outfit The men were James Saeger and Samuel Levy. The formers home is in Miles City, Mon, and for 16 years he has been range rider ill that and neighboring states. MT. Levy is 2 ranchman i'll the Sweeswater range of Wyoming, having resifed there for five years or more. Both are pleasant gentlemen, having an air of the wild west that makes their conversation and manner very interesting. They are educated and well posted on current events, and discussed political questions lealnedly.
 Some time since Messrs. Saeger and Levy were ill Milwaukee and chanced to meet some sporting men from Chi eago, who became interested in pony riding, and the men gave them an ex- hibition of their skill i'll that direction This led to a wager between their Chi eago friends and Milwaukee parties, among the latter being P. V Deuster, editor of the Seebote a German paper published in Milwaukee, that the men could not make the trip from Milwaukee to San Francisco on horseback in a stated time
 Arrangements were at once made for the ride, and on May 23 Saeger and Levy mounted their ponies and started on the journey, each to receive $500 if they and their ponies reached San Francisco before sunset on the 9th of October next They must ride or walk the entire distance The route laid out is about 8, 400 miles, At their present rate of speed they will reach San Fran cisco about Sept. 12 or 15. From Pierre they will cross the Missouri river and follow the stage route to Casper Wy, thence to PocatelIo, Ida, from which point they will follow as nearly as pos sible the Southern Pacific railway to the end of their journey.
 They will cross the Rocky mountains at South Pass and the Sierra Nevadas at Truckee, Nev. At each point where q stop is made the men are required to procure a certificate noting the time of their arrival, the condition of them selves and ponies and time of departure, which is forwarded to headquarters in Milwaukee.

COTTON LETTER
Furnished By s. c. Alexander & Co.,,
 To Their Eastern Friends.
PINE BLUFF, Ark, July F, 1896.

PINE BLUFF, Ark, July 13, 1896.
 GENTLEMEN--Nothing alarming has happened in this State since we wrote you last unless it was the casting of it's vote for the Chicago Democratic Free silver l6 to plat form. The cotton crop is all right with a few exceptions, and is the admiration of all Southeast Ark ansas is still very dry and cotton is suffering; the weed is small and maturing prematurely q small por- tion of fruit. Corn in the Monticello district is ruined and is being cut down and fed to stock. The Pine Bluff district for twenty-five miles around is highly favored and has no cause for complaint, though light rain would help and a general rain throughout the State would be a great blessing. Open bolls from the river district were exhibited here on the 10th inst, and some were re- ported from Douglas, 40 miles down the river the Both cf June. This is extremely early and confined to favored spots.
 Considerable cotton was planted in March and from such early plant ing comes this unusual opening. The crop is fully three weeks earlier than last year and We believe pick ing will be under good headway by the 20th, of August, barring accidents from now on, and shipments from 200 to 300 bale can be made the last half of September from this market. The staple of Arkansas cotton the opening season will be better than for years The Peterkin seed has not given satisfaction; the staple being too short and fluffy. These seed have been sold to the oil mills and replaced with the old time heavy bender called the Big Buil, Ozier Moon. Cook, etc
 The nomination of Mr Bryan fell flat among the silver men i'll this part of the State; Mir, Bland was their ideal and they looked upon his nomination as the crowning glory of their anticipations. Some speak of Mir. Bryan as the boy orator of Nebraska, while others say he is undoubtedly the Moses to lead them out of this sin-cursed land of gold bugs through the Red Sea of Trouble, across the Wilderness of I Iriale, over the Jordan Of Depression and into the land of Free Silver, unlimited, unrestricted, 16 to l. This sounds pleasing to the ear, but history tells of only two of the first great crowd that started from Egypt to Canaan who reached there-and Moses was not one of them.
 We have met the enemy fairly and sqnarely, and we are his. And it is the duty of every gold bug in the Democratic ranks to fall in line and do all he can to have Bryan and Sewell at the head of the grand old column when it reaches Canaan, in- stead of Mckinley and Hobart.
 Yours respectfully,

Kansas Farmer Learned to Make Counter.
 felt Money During Trial.
 Walter N. Owens, farmer of Okla homa, was sentenced recently to serve a term in the penitenitary at Leavenworth for counterfeiting. The case, to some extent, is remarkable one. Previous to his arrest he had always borne good reputation. Two years ago he was a juror in the United States court at Wichita, Kan, and tried counterfeiter.
 During the progress of the trial ooun- terfeiters' tools were exhibited and evi- dence introduced showing how false moneys were coined. Owens examined the tools closely and listened to the evi- denee attentively. After the conclusion of the trial he went home and made counterfeiting tools himself and pro- ceeded to work Owing to his good rep utation he made and passed great deal of spurious money before he was detect ed St. Louis Globe Democrat.

SILVER MEN ORGANIZING.
{ Meeting to Be Held in Des Moines For the Purpose of Consoli
 dating the Forces.

DEs MONIES, IOWA, July 13:-Silver
 Ren from all parts of Iowa are ga th-
 eiag for the State convention which
 aealled for thls city tomorrow for
 the purpose Of organizing q State
 bimetallic association. Just what |aetion the convention will take with |eference to the Chicago platform is Uncertain. The main object of the meeting, as stated in the call issued Eey Chairman Amos Strekel, we'll lhown Republican of Bloomfield, is Ito consolidate the free silver forces |d the State into compact organiz- lation, and the course to be pursued 3a the present campaign will be de lermined later. A majority of those 3already on the field, however. are 3'tFongly in favor of sending a dele asation to the national silver conven- saon at St. Louis next week and this proposal will probably be adopted E and delegation ofthrity-fiye chosen represent the silver element of zowa at that gathering. While the #Nlegates are supposed to have both
 pemocrats and Republicans among 3aelr number, 1t looks as if the con- 8ehtion will be composed largely of representatives of the former party, guiding a number who have here H"1ore played prominent part in
 me policies of the HaWkeye State.
