cha LEGISLATURE: bat it is feared that it is

the superintendent of the penltensaiy'

Office added fifty thousand dollars year

stand, especially as the reason ass'gneo
for his removal was that some OF the
oonvicts complained OF their treatment.
Criminals are not sent to prison to be
fed with cartridges and toast and to
have nothing to do but to lie down
and read novels; but it would seem
that majority of the legislators thinK

stated, be passed, to create bureau

nile to be benefited by such bureau
would be those who would draw its
salaries. That the interest OF labor OF
of laborers would not be promoted mas
been demonstrated not only by such
bureaus in other States, but by the ma

Many Fine Coiiections.

THE CHRONICLE has more than once
expressed its conviction that The Dalles
(situated as it is at one of the great
gathering places of the Indian tribes of
the Northwest) should have a collection
of Indian iktahs, which should be rep
resentative of the art and work of the
past and passing Indian civilization.
1t is not long ago that Mr.. Kinersly,
much to our regret, parted with collec-
lection valued by eastern parties at over
half thousand dollars.
Every passing year brings stronger
emphasis to the fact of the high esteem
in which these iktahs are held in other
parts of the country, by individuals and
Institutions, and also of the increasing
difficulty of getting good specimens.
Besides the arrowheads, mortars, pes
ties, etc., which may be found here and
there throughout the town, there are
two collections which have assumed pro-
portions quite worthy of the name
those of DR.. Sutherland and Rev. Cur
tbs. The former gentleman has a col
lection of six or seven thousand. The
doctor started out with the purpose oi
making a collection of beautiful points
and succeeded SO well that we doubt if
taking the word beautiful as a descrip-

tion, there is any collection in Oregon or
Washington that can surpass it. From
the love of the beautiful, he came slowly
to desire for types, of which he has
| large variety.
Mr.. Curtis, we understand, started in
the same way, at first thinking only to
get certain beautiful specimens, of
which he has sent many East to appre-
ciatiye friends. He too came to care for
types, and has secured some rare things.
which have been much coveted by col
lectors. His collection numbers between
three and four thousand.
Besides these things in stone, much
interest has of late sprung up in the
| the matter of Indian basketry, of which
there are notable collections not only in
California, but in Portland and other
places in Oregon. What is called the
basket fad or craze. has taken good
many people. The fad will pass, but
the subject is worthy of permanent in
| terest. Interest will increase with
knowledge and with the passing of the
basket makers, which is only matter of
short time. We have no considerable
collection in The Dalles, though we
specimens; a combination of these
would be a surprise and an instruction
to our people.
Miss Anna Lang has fine nucleus,
hundred or more beautiful and curious
specimens gathered from this imme-
date locality, representatives of the
work of the Wasco, Klickitat and other
neighboring tribes, as well as specimens
gathered from Alaska and Mexico, and
the places intervening.
Mr.. Curtis has collection of fifty or
more baskets and bags, mainly the work
of the tribes centering about The Dalles,
though he possesses few treasures from
afar.
Mrs. Hal French has email, but very
choice collection of baskets gathered
from this region. One very noticeable
thing is the absence of duplicates il de-
sign. Mr.. Curtis has but one or two
duplicates of those in the possession of
Miss Lang, nor does the collection of
Mrs. French duplicate either of the
others in design. The same may be
said of some two dozen baskets and
bags owned by Mr.. Kinersly. The only
other baskets of interest which we re-
member to have seen, are two owned
by Mrs. Peters and one by Mrs. Bron-
son, all of design that is not dupli-
Gated in the collections spoken of.
Small as these collections are, we mem
tion them with satisfaction as a part of
our city's interest in these things, and
hope that they may grow until their di-
mensions and the variety of the weave
and pattern shall at least fairly repre-
sent the work of the Indians of this To-
| calitv,

A Fearful Storm.

Although the recent storms were
worth, in the water downpour, thous-
ands of dollars to the great regions trib-
utary to Baker City, considerable dam
age to crops and orchards also resulted.
On Friday, near Burnt river. the hail
was like a flood of bullets. The fine
orchard and hay field of M. J. Hindman
was injured to the estimated extent of
fully $1,000.
In the vicinity of Haines a barn was
shattered by lightning and a valuable
horse killed. In the town of Haines, a
telegraph pole was struck by the fiery
electric fluid.
In Pine valley, one of these heavens
thunderbolts knocked leading farmer
down, injuring him badly. and killed his
dog, which was by his side.
Near Westfall, thirty miles from Vale,
Malheur county, Perry Kelsey was
struck and killed by Hghtning.-La

PROF. CATCH ELECTED.
Chosen President of the Agricultural
College.

At meeting at Corvallis Wednesday
afternoon of the board of regents, Pro-
fessor Thomas NJ. Catch, late of the
state university of Washington, was
elected president of the Agricultural col
lege and director of the experiment sta
ton. He was not an applicant for the
place. He was chosen on the fifth bal
lot by a vote of six to five over H. B.
Miller, the present incumbent.
The Oregonian has the following
kindly notice of him:
Professor T. NJ. Catch is one of the
best-known educators in the Northwest.
He was for many years president of
Willamette university in Salem, when
that institution was the most prominent
coast. After the state university was To-
Gated at Eugene, he accepted professor
ship there, and filled it for several years.
He was afterwards elected president of
the Blue Mountain academy, at The
Dalles, and about 10 years since went to
Seattle to be president of the state uni
versity, succeeding L. J. Powell, who
had died, and who, like Professor Catch,
had been very prominent educator of
Oregon. Two years since, President
Catch gave way to President Harring-
ton, and then was made president of the
state normal school, at Ellensburg. He
was again elected to a professorship in
the state university. which he filed till
recently, when he was removed by the
new Populist board of regents for po-
litical reasons.
Professor Catch is personally known
to more students probably than any
other instructor in Oregon or Washing
ton. He is very popular with all OF
them. ae is the father of Claud Catch,
ex-mayor of Salem"

Charley Knust, boy 10 years old,
saved a 4-year-old girl from drowning in
Lake Union, near Seattle, Monday. The
little girl was playing near the edge of
a wharf, and accidentally fell overheard.
Two men were standing near and each
grabbed long pole and began fishing
around in the water, trying to get the
child to take hold and hang on until
pulled up to the wharf. This did not
work, and young Knust, who was a
block away, after having just donned
his clothes from swim in the lake, ran
to the spot and dived into the water.
He grabbed the sinking child and land

The Candidum Lilly.

This popular favorite has been known
to cultivation 400 years. If your col
lection has but one lilly, this is consid-
cred by all authority to be the hardest
and the best. It blooms in early June,
is very fragrant and goes but a very
short time in dormant condition,
hence we prefer to move it at that time
viz: the first to the middle of August.
Like all other winter growing bulbs
the bed must be free from standing
water at any time during our moist
winters. Dig hole two feet square
and two feet deep. The first eight in
ches of filling should be rotten sod or
very rotten COW manure, and tramped
hard after mixing good soil with it.
Now put in another eight inches OF
good soil and rotten manure, mixing it
we'll. and tramp down same as before.
Then put in the lilly bulb and put
around it a pint of very sandy soil:
Fill the hole with good rich earth and
press firmly around the bulb. Water
lightly until the rains commence. The
he'd should be raised ten inches
and the land well drained. Every year
add a dressing of hen manure to the
TOP soil and spade carefully under and
YOUR lilly is all right for ten years and
is better not moved. GEO. GIBBS.
