DIGGING CELLAR DRAINS.

ALWAYS Do the Work From the Outside IL
You Have Been Losing Poultry.
If George Avery Of this neighborhood
ever digs out another cellar drain, he
will begin at the outside and dig i'll,
because nobody can tell what a cellar
drain holds until it's whole length has
been explored. Though cellar drain
has no apparent connection with hens,
Avery has learned otherwise and paid
more than $50 for learning.
Avery has bought lot of hens for
three or four years and has made money
ont of them. When his neighbors saw
how he prospered, they went to raising
hens also, and when the spring OF 1897
opened there was more poultry running
loose in Whiting Hill than in any other
place east of Bangor. Some time last
May the young chickens and early broll-
ers began to disappear, going out healthy
and strong in the morning and neglect
ing to show up at night. On some days
Avery lost four or five, and then the
average would reach 10 or IL every day
for a week. The neighborS began to lose
chickens too They complained to Avery
about his dog, and Avery entered
counter complaint about their cats, and
both sides were getting hot about it
when Sam Adams solved the mystery
bv seeing black fox in the very act OF
carrying away a plump cockerel. OF
course it is bad thing to have any kind
of fox carry away ones poultry, but If
a man has got to surrender his hens to
the foxes he would sooner see black
fox get them than one of any other col
or. The reason for this is that black
fox wears an overcoat worth anywhere
from 500 to $3.50, and the man who
captures the fox and sells the pelt is
pretty sure to get good pay for his hens.
In less than a week every hen man L
Whiting Hill had turned fox hunter and
was out with traps, guns and poison,
Every morning and night they devoted
at least an hour to stalking the black
fox. and. every day the black fox sneakeC
in and carried off all the hens he want
ed. The hen raisers caught Avery S dog

of them caught plenty Of hens, but Il

Sheep and lambs-As a whole the mar

any note over the buying and selling
averages of last week What changes
there were had but little effect on the
general run of this weeks market. There
was, however, a decided drop in sheep

were very small and the demand was not

The Fishing Season closes.

The close season for salmon fishing on
the Columbia and its tributaries begins
at midnight August 10th. The section
regarding the close season reads:
'It shall not be lawful to take or fish
for salmon in the Columbia river or its
tributaries, by any means whatever, ii
any year hereafter between the first day
of March and the tenth day of April, or
between the tenth of August and the
tenth day of September, or in any of
the rivers or bays of the state or the Co.
lumbia river during the weekly close
time, that is to say, between the hour of
in the afternoon of Saturday and 6 in
the afternoon of Sunday"
1t is generally believed that every
four years fishermen may expect an un.
usually large run, and as this is sup
posed to be one of the lucky years, those
on the upper river, at least, were some
what disappointed. Some fair catches
have been made. but nothing nearly
what was expected. The catch on the
lower river seems to have been better.
1t is thought by many that the traps,
which are so numerous along the river
at and below tie Cascades, have much
to do with the scarcity of the fnny tribe
in the upper river. Fishermen shoulc
press their claims in this regard, and
secure their abolishment.

The annual meeting of the National
Educational Association is to be held
next July on the Pacific coast, and there
are two aspirants for the convention,
Portland and Los Angeles, with the ex-
ecutive committee strongly favoring
Portland. 1t is to be hoped the latter
place succeeds in securing this meeting,
as many delegates from all over the
United States VII tfend, and these
people are such as any city might well
be proud of entertaining. A body OF
men and women banded together to
promote the cause of education surely
will do honor to any state or city where
they may choose to congregate.
Through tickets to Chicago, at the
reduced rates, were placed on sale at all
railway passenger offices in Portland
yesterday morning. The latest cut
amounts to $3.50, and travellers may go
to Chicago, frst-class for $24.5O, and
second class for $14.50. In the sale of
tickets the rebate plan is adhered to. 1t
was at first supposed that the Canadian
Pacific was the cause of the cut; but it
now appears that it is done to shut o9E
brokers for eastern lines. This is Ia
splendid opportunity for western people
to visit their friends in the East, and
many are taking advantage of it. If il
were not for the warm weather, which
is intensified in the East the roads could
scarcely accommodate the travel.

near losing their lives. DR.. Botkiu said
yesterday in looking back over their
fearful experience in the Yukon, that he
is filed with wonder that any of the
party escaped with their lives, and all
are exceedingly thankful to be able to
greet their friends. DIR. Botkin and
party left Dawson June %, and he
reached his home at Mount Tabor yes

hardships. In spite of his rough ex-

AN INTERESTING LETTER.
Fred Grunow, of Company A, sixteenth
Infantry, Writes Concerning the
Battle of Santiago.

Among the many letters which have
been received from our soldier boys,
none seem to US so interesting as the
following written by Fred Grunow, a
Dalles boy, to his brother Will, of THE
CHRONICLE force. Fred joined the regu-
lar army at Vancouver about year ago,
later stationed at Fort Boise, Idaho,
from which point the 10th infantry was
ordered south at the outbreak of the
present war, and consequently was in
the thick of the fray at Santiago. The
letter was received yesterday, and is as
follows:
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 10, 1898.
'tI still live to write again. After
passing through three days of continual
fire, it was miracle that 1 escaped
without being shot. You can't imagine
how a shell bursting over your head will
sound if you have never been under
fire.
'On the night of the 30th of June we
were in camp five miles from Santiago.
On the following morning we received
orders to be under heavy marching or
der by four O'Clock, as the army intend
ed to make an attack upon the Spanish
lines on July 1st.
"You have no doubt seen the accounts
of the battle of Santiago in the news
papers. We have received no newspa-
pers of late date as yet that give ac-
counts of the engagement. L understand
that the 7Ist New York volunteers got
the credit OF taking the first Spanish
position or block house and entrench-
ments. 1t was otherwise. The Seven
ty-frst belonged to our brigade and we're
in front of our regiment the day OF
battle. After crossing the creek their
officers refused to go ahead as ordered.
Col. Theaker of our regiment passed by
followed by the 10Th infantry. After
crossing the creek we we're ordered to
charge the hill, and after losing both
heavily in officers in men we succeeded
in taking the enemy's position. The
10Th infantry were the first to raise
their flag and no one will say the con-
trary.
ga few reporters from large New York
papers, styling themselves war CORE
spondents, lie in their tents in the rear
and write from Imagination. It is their
object to give the troopg from their state
more credit than necessary. AS we
were charging the hill, the Seventy first
kept continually shooting from the real

stop until ordered to do SO by oui
officers. Why was it that if they were
fighting so gallantly, according to news
paper accounts, that they hai to do five
days. road fatigue for cowardice. M
doubt they fought like demons; bu
their officers were not fit to lead com
pany or regiment in battle.

ons all the way during the engagement

suffered as heavily.
