Apples and Strawberries, our principal
crops, are not damaged. Hood River
escaped lightly compared with other
parts of the country. In some parts of
the Willamette valley the fruit trees
were killed, and in many places the
stra " berry vines were frozen out.-Gla-

Last Sunday man by the name of ].
H. Richardson made his appearance at
the Central Hotel at Dufur, and being
unable to care for himself was kindly
taken in hand by the proprietor, j. S.
Everets. Since that time he has been
cared for at that place. AS it was evil
dent he would be i'll for some time it
was thought best to bring him to this
city and he was carefully arranged on
bed il a covered wagon and arrived here
this morning. Application was made
to the county, and he will probably be
taken to the poor falm. He is man of
about 81 years, and says he has been in
Oregon two years.
"That civilized man cannot live with
out cooks" has been demonstrated, not
by poetical sentences, but in a most
substantial manner. Therefore, it is
well that womankind in general be not
30 far carried away with the new woman
idea that they neglect THE alI-important
art of cooking. Miss Tracy's visit to
this city next week, when she gives a
talk on the subject at the institute, will
no 6oubt be considered not rare treat
but one we'll done. 1t is said that she
requires that stove be placed in the
room, and then, in true womanly
fashion, rolls up her sleeves and give a
practical illustration of her lectures.
She will be here or the 2nd of next
Fmonth.
The Condor Globe says: "Hon. E.
B. Dufur, joint senator for Wasco and
Gillian counties, is one of the strongest
as well as one of the most highly re-
is above the tricks and trades of ordinary
politics and, although a Democrat, and
MISUNDERSTANDING N -cE1e late legis-
lature, his strong personality and un-
bending honesty made his influence
strongly felt whenever questions of right
and justice came up for consideration.
To Mr.. Dufur is due the credit of effect
ing satisfactory compromise in the
Wheeler county case, and we believe
that his action in that matter all the
way through has won for him the re-
spect and esteem of all factions and in
terests in that contest -
Several months ago the Oregon Society
of the Sons of American Revolution gave
out three topics, upon which
essays were to be written by students in
the higher educational institutions #
Oregon, three prizes being offered by
the society for the three best pa pers. a
student at the Portland Academy won
the first prize; one at the McMinnville
college the second, and the third was
awarded to a young lady at the univer
sity in Eugene. But The Dalles was
not out of the race, and this time it
was represented by Miss DaisieAllaway,
who is junior student in the state
university. Out of the remaining
| twenty eight competitors, she was first
on the list of five to receive honorable
mention as having submitted an ex-
cellent PAPER on paul Jones, and the
Naval Warfare of the Revolution 1t
was surprise to her parents in this
city, who had no idea Daisie was com.
peting. THE CHRONICLE is always
pleased to note the advancement of
any of the boye and girls from The
Dalles, whose honors always reflect
credit, not only on themselves. but on
their home town and their teachers un-
der whom they have received early in
struction.
