The Dalles City arrived this morn
ing as 10, with light passenger list,
but heavily loaded with freight. She
left for Portland at 1879, and will ar
rive there late this evening.
We have noticed good many hobos
on our streets today. and as warming
to our residents, would say it would be
wise for them not to leave anything
lying around loose, or their houses in
in insecure manner.
Flags of all nations are flying in The
Dalles today, thai is all but the flag of
of Spain. There is not one in the
city who would float the colors of the
Dons. That is one which Daliesites
do not specially honor at this par
ticular time.
Chas. Hunt, who for a number of
years was resident of our city and
held the position as bookkeeper at
the shops and also for Seufert Bros.
when they ran the American market.
died in an insane asylum yesterday
afternoon in California.
H. S. Hanna's farm on Chenoweth
,reek is lively place just now. Mr..
Hanna has erected shearing pens on
his farm and band of 5000 head of
sheep belonging to Cartwright &
Shearer are being shorn there, while
some $1,000 more are awaiting their
turn at the corrals.
The town today presents a very at
tractive appearance. All the stores
are profusely decorated, and many OF
tune. Our people all seem to take a
great deal of interest 10 the G. A. R.
! reunion and we'll they might, for the
veterans are becoming few and their
past valor should be honOred.
A pleasant party started out this
afterooon to visit the old man who
lives in the cave south of the Catholic
cemetery. They were Misses Borland,
Baum and 8urdick, and Messrs. Stew
art, German and Batty. If the old
fellow sees this group of sunshine. he
will surely give up his life as hermit
and return once ore to the world and
be man among men.
At 3:15 this afternoon the new ferry
boat was launched, and created quite
little excitement. There were a few
passengers aboard and did honors to
the occasion. Among them Master
Harold Fish and his father. The new
boat will be rushed to completion and
in short time will be doing service
on the Columbia between this place
and Rockland.
On Thursday Chief of Police Kauff-
man, of Walla Walla, found four boys
ranging from II to Is years of in a
shed in the rear of the old Stene house.
The youngsters were very drunk.
They were ranged around big can of
beer. Chief Kaufman locked the
boys up. He is making strong effort
to ascertain who sold the beer to the
boys. If he succeeds he will prosecute
the offender.
The es-Mountaineer's soldier
boys. Ed Lemison an1 Jess Stilwell,
who resigned their positions as com
positors in this office to join the army.
were both accepted as able bodied
soldiers, and are now en- route to the
Philippines to help avenge the lives
of the sailors who went down on the
Maine. Our hope is that they will be
good soldiers, and will be able to dodge
all Spanish bullets that come their
way.
The G. A. r. have been somewhat
in not being able to Sc
cure the U. S. 18th Infantry band to
take part in their exercises at this
place. They had all arrangements
made with them, and they were to be
here, but since the war has been in
progress they were called to duty and
could no. attend. However, The
Dalles brass band will furnish good
musical entertainment for the en-
and it's visitors.
