c. W. Phelps was passenger on
the Sarah Dixon this morning. He
was going in search of cool place
down the river.
On account of some repairs to the
machinery that had been overlooked,
the Dalles City will not reach here
this evening as announced yesterday,
but will be hers in few days.
Mrs. T. f. Wood left yesterday for.
Newport to spend the summer. She
was joined at Portland by her father,
T. A. Van Nordep, who had been stop
ping at Moffit Springs for several days.

porttioned the money arising from
terest on the irreducible school funds

county gets s4,906sO.
Yesterday ]. A. Fordyce found the
hottest place that has yet been re-
ported. He states that while at Bridal
Veil he found place where the ther-
mometer registered $50 degrees in the
shade. 1t was In dry kiln.
This morning the Sarah Dixon had
large number of passengers when
she left FOR Portland. Most of them,
however. we're going down the river
in search of cool places in which to re-
main during the heated SPELL
There never was time in The
Dalies when there was greater demand
for houses to rent, and there is scarce
ly any to be had. This indicates that
The Dalles is filling up to its full
capacity until more buildings are
built.
A gentleman who came in yesterday
from Prineville said that section is ex-
periencing extreme hot weather. Last
FRIDAY at Prineville the mercury reg
istered 10S and all along the line be-
tween there and Deschutes river it
ranged from 100 to no..
Ad Edgar, for number of years
manager of the Cosmopolitan for Sim
mott & Fish, spent last night iu the
city, having recently returned from
Dawson City, where he spent last win
ter. He left on the boat this morning
for San Francisco.
Considerable building is going on in
the town of Anteiope. Most of those
who were burned out in the recent fire
are rebuilding, and in a short time
the town will be as good place as 1t
ever was. The citizens OF Antelope
are too enterprising to let such
thing as a fire knock them out.
At the residence of Charles Nell in
Centerville, Wash. last Saturday,
Joseph Kohler. of this city. and Miss
Annie Nell, of Minnesota. were united
in marriage. Rev. A Horn officiating.
Mr. Kohler is prosperous carpenter
of The Dalles. and has many friends
here who will extend congratulations.
The wool still remains in the ware
houses, where the growers and buyers
go and look at it every day, but they
cannot agree on prices. If some buyer
would come along and offer IA cents
pound for the whole lot that is stored
here he would likely find himself i'm
mediately in possession of some six or
seven million pounds.
Why suffer with coughs, colds, and
la grippe when Laxative Bromo Quin-

like sulphate of quinine. Put up in
tablets convenient for taking. Guar.

A novel plan has been adopted for
adding bnoyancy to the stranded
steamer Regulator, so that she can be
foated to Portland for repairs. Fifty |
oil barrels have been secured and will
be placed inside the hold of the vessel,
so when it is pushed into the water
they will act as buoys to make it float.
An effort will be made to get the boat
ino the water tomorrow.
