The Albany Democrat announces

leave today for The Dalies to accept d
position in Pease & Mays store.
The first potatoes of the season were
received at the American market TO-
day. They were raised by Ed. Kramer

| A letter from Ned Wicks formerly
of this city, who is at present in Skag-
uay Alaska, states that he intends re-
turning home in the near future.
Whether he intends to visit for d
short time apd return to Alaska or
remain in Oregon we have failed to
learn.
Portland is at present making prepa-
rations to welcome the Second Oregon
when they arrive in that city. In all
probability it will not be a great while
before the regiment arrives and it
wobld be well for the citizens of The
Dalles to make preparations for well
coming our boys on their return.
When they left, promises were made
for grandreception on their return
and if this is not attended TO, the boys
will certainly feel disappointed.
.F'iveafrests. mostly on charge of
being drunk and disorderly, were made
yesterday afternoon. All the disor-
derly characters were excursionists
from Portland who had evidently
taken bottle too much. Two dollars
and fifty cents and pair of steel
knuckles were found on the person of
one of those arrested and both were
appropriated to the city, while the
other four were turned loose with
out being fined as they were without
means to pay the same.
John Cottingham a well known |
character in The Dalles can thank his |
lucky stars that his name is not added /
to the list of victims of the o. r. & N.
1t appears that he was drinking con-
siderably yesterday and was strolling
along the railroad track when the de-
layed overland train pulled into the
city last night The engine was
moving at slow rate of speed when
the COW catcher struck Cottingham.
He was dragged some distance and had
one arm and leg bruised, but was other
wise uninjured.
The river stood at 32.4 feet this
and is still rising at about
the same rate as it has bee during the
last few days. Pague's report states
that. on Wednesday it will reach "a
feet but from that time until Friday
the raise will be gradual after which
it will raise more rapidly. The pres
ent cool weather prevailes at the
headwaters of the Columbia and it's
which will have tendaucy
to permit q rapid rise in the near
future. s&a
Saturday night burglar entered
'he residenceof MIR. A.. G. Geiger in
his city and stole about $1,000 in
money which was in the pocket of Mr..
5eigers pants, two gold watches and
suit of clothes. The burglar entered
through rear window from the back
,orch and evidently went boldly into {
beroom where Mr.. Geiger was sleep
pg and helped himself to what he {
rant ted. He then entered an ad- I
dining room and sorted over the con- {
euts of Mr.. Geiger's pockets and {
urse leaving bunch of keys. several t
hecks and q bunch of letters and
ther things which were OF no value
xcept to the owner. He then escaped
hrough the kitchen door and left no
race whatever to lead to his identity. ,
The reports concerning the number
tickets sold for the excursion given
y the Tyee Association yesterday
lust have been greatly exaggerated
nee there were not over seven huud-
ID people on the train which arrived
about 12:l5 yesterday. 1t was in
led a surprise to everyone to note
le good behavior of the vast majority
the excursionists, since a crowd {
ke that of last year was expected.
few of the visitors were intoxicated =
I'd several placed under arrest for be- Q
g drunk and disorderly, but aside a
ON this the peace officers had no +
ouble whatever. If all excursion /.
rites consisted of as well.behaved +
,ople as did that of yesterday much of t
Q prejudice which come people have n
,ainst excursions would be removed. '
