A full military band lends life to any
gathering of people, and is always one
of the most attractive of features. The
managers of the Oregon Industrial Ex-
position have engaged first class band
to play afternoon and evening at the ex-
position, Sept. % to Oct. %, and all who
attend will have every opportunity to
delight in the music.-sitting down to it
if they want to sit and promenading
over good floors, with ample space for
healthful exercise.
Even the sheep seem to know what an
excellent advertising medium THE
MORNING CHRONICLE is as was plainly
demonstrated by a little incident that
occurred last evening. A nice fat NUT
ton had in some way got hopelessly lost
from its band and after making a vain
attempt to get its bearings it strolled
boldly into the back door of this Office
in order to be advertised. At the time

twenty-fv head in the pass. He has
sold the greater part of the ponies, and

and the river breeze, is the coolest place
in the city, and bowlers can enjoy
game there during the hot weather
when it is entirely to warm at the other
places. The scores are as follows:

Sheepmen who range their f1ocks in
the Cascade complain that there will be
a scarcity of grass on the summer ranges,
and in consequence sheep will have to
be brought out of the mountains earlier

TO herd on that portion of the Cascade
reserve that has been withdrawn, lying

son as receiver of The Dalles land Office
For over four years Register j. F. Moore

tlemen who yesterday stepped out of

spective positions as ably as they have

everyone, and will leave with as clear a
score to their credit as their successors.
The family of Matt Stanton, a we'll

six weeks ago he started for Oregon in
company with j. W. Downer. to buy
land, and while Mr.. DoWner has return
