At the last meeting of the board of
school directors of this district it was
decided to postpone the opening of the
public schools from September 9th to
September 18th. This was done on ac-
count of the fremen's tournament,
which meets here on the 9th, and which
would interfere with the organization of
the schools.

Bills of lumber have been sold this
week for new hotel, a hardware store,
a cabinet and carpenter shop, three resi-
dences and about ten other buildings un-
der construction in Sumpter. The same
amount of lumber has been sold for the
Cracker district. A force of men are at
work putting in the heavy foundations
for the Sumpter Lumber Co.'s new mills.

W. s. Byers, of the Pendleton Touring
mills, entered into contract to deliver
$4,000 barrels of -four for shipment 70
Japan. He had the option of furnishing
$4,000 barrels more, but as it was re-
quired earlier than this mill could turn
it out, he had to refuse the order. Per-
haps no one in Pendleton has felt the
improved condition in business more
than Mr.. Byers, says the Tribune.
Whereas laet year he was often obliged
to turn out orders at loss in order to
keep the mill running, this year he has
repeatedly been compelled to refuse or
ders. Moreover his business has been
30 steady and remunerative during the
present year that he has been able to in
crease the salaries of his employees.

The Normal Institute.

The following persons were present at
the opening of the normal institute to-
day: John Gavin, ] S Landers, Melissa
Hill, Louise Rintoul, Lena Smell, Cath

Considering that the institute will be
in session one month and that most OF
those already registered are from The
Dalles, the outlook for full attendance
is encouraging. About eighty-four
teachers were enrolled last year, and
this number is likely to reach that mark
inside of the next two weeks.
The teachers will be pleased to have
parents and others attend as visitors at
any hour. The general discussion hour
at 1 80 is always interesting, and tomor-

The Portuguese in Hawaii.

One effect of the reciprocity treaty
concluded between the United States
and Hawaii in 1875 was to create press
ing demand for labor to carry out the
many new agricultural and industrial en-
terprises projected. Through the agen-
cy of DR.. Hillebrand, who was residing
in the island of Madeira IN 1877, ar
rangements were made for the emigra-
ton of Portuguese from the Azores and
Madeira. A pioneer company of $50
Portuguese arrived in September, 1873,
from Cunchal, and since then over 1O,-
600 more have been added to the popu-
lation of the island, and, with their nat
ural increase, they now number about
5000. They are an exceedingly val
liable addition to the white element of
the islands. Their status also in the
new territory will be regulated by treaty
between the United States and Portugal.

Bryan Speaks Tonight.

1t is announced by those in charge of
the affair that arrangements have been
made by which Hon. w. ]. Bryan will
speak here for fifteen minutes tonight.
1t was intended to have the train stop
at the Umatilla House, but as it has to
stop any way nearly fifteen minutes to
change baggage and express at the de-
pot, it was the only arrangement that
could be made to have the train held at
the depot. So those who desire to hear
the leader of Democracy and the advo-
cate of free silver, will have to go to the
depot to do so at 1 o'clock tomorrow
morning.

Yesterdays Excursion.

The excursion yesterday was not the
success financially that it should have
been, the receipts but little more than
covering the expenses. The accounts
have not yet been balanced, but the net
returns will not exceed $l5.
Otherwise it was one of the most de-
lightful affairs of the kind ever origin
ated in The Dalles. The day was beau
tiful, and with only 1l5 passengers those
who went had plenty of room. The
boat arrived at Multnomah falls at 10 AS
and left at 2:15, and the three and a
half hours up under the cool falls were
all too short.
The band accompanied the excursion
and furnished delightful music, as it al
ways does.
Captain Wsud and several others
climbed the cliff to the top of the falls,
and announced their arrival at the top

A QUIET WEDDING.
George AIeck, Not Yet of Age, Marrl es
for the Third Time.

There was quiet wedding in the sher-
tracing parties being Mr.. George Aleck
and Miss Nellie Argui, both of Hood
River. Justice Filloon performed the
ceremony in the presence of the county
officials, Clerk Kelsay, Deputy Bolton,
Deputy Sheriff Kelley, Janitor FitzGer-
aid, and ]. NJ. Huntington. We are
told that Mr.. FitzGerald, upon the con-
clusion of the ceremony, stepped for
ward and said: ga custom has been es-
tablished at the Unatilla House by Col.
Sinnott, that all brides married there
shall be first saluted by him as senior
partner of the firm. 1t is a pretty GUS
tom, and one that should become gen.
eral. AS the oldest and best looking
man in the courthouse the pleasant task
has been delegated to me-" And then
he put the tips of the fingers of his left
hand under her chin, lifted it gently to
an angle of go degrees, and with le-
cato movement imprinted the court
house seal upon her lips. Mr.. FitzGer-
aid denies this, but insists that he tried
to get the boys to delegate him, but they
refused; and as they could not agree,
each of them performed his share of the
osculation.
The groom is the son of Joseph Aleck,
who carries the mail from Hood River to
White Salmon, and who is a full-blood
Indian. So is the groom; but the bride
is apparently only half-blood. George
is only 20 years old, yet has made an
enviable record in the marital line, this
being his third venture. His other
wives left him one at a time the had
both at once), so this time he concluded
to see if the white mans ceremony
would tie the third Mrs. Aleck any more
firmly to him. We fear his confidence
and his money have been misplaced, but
at any rate this one to marry again le-
gally will have to tackle the divorce
courts.
George is sporty, CANDLES and drinks,
has kleptomania and other things, and
the future of the bride of today seems to
US at least far from roseate
