The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1899-04-12

ermen here are of the opinion that this
is TO be an exceptional year, the river at
present seeming to be iull of fish.
B. B. Herbert, editor of the National
Printer Journalist, of Chicago, is the
fi-st editor to arrive in Portland, COM
ing to complete arrangements for the
July meeting. He says: GAS now ar
ranged the delegates, some 600 in num-
Der, will reach The Dalles on the morn
ing of the Srd and go to Portland by
boat" This is the signalSfor action, and
every citizen is appointed committee
of one to devise the best means of en-
tertaining them during the few hours
they will be in the city. Let us hear
suggestions and let the executive COM
mittee receive hearty cooperation.
Those whose duty it is to see that the
streets of our city are kept neat and at
tractive-andit should be the duty of
everyone-need give themselves little
concern in the future, train of circum-
stances having arisen-or rather de-
scended-which will aid much in the de.
sired result. We refer to the trains
which have been brought in by our dry
goods merchants and which every lady
who is up-to-date will supply the
power to keep in motion. These are
most efficient means of street sweepinr,
and as one might as well be out of the
world as out of style, no doubt The
Dalles will have them il abundance.
Last evening the body of Major Nc
Conville, who was killed at Manila
during the severe fighting on Feb. 5tb,
and brought over on the ScandIa, passed
through the city. accom- panied by Adiu-
tant- General Weaver, Colonel Kinport,
of the governors staff, together with A.
j. sherburne, representing the Grand
Army post at Lewiston. His widow and
son, who was with the major at Ma Mia,
also accompanied the remains, which
will be met at Riparia by Governor
Stunen berg and other state officers who
will attend them to Lewiston, where the
funeral will be held Friday. The brave
majors remains will be buried with all
the honors of major-general.
The Telegram this morning was TEEN
ing with all sorts of railroad rumors,
prominent among which was an article
regarding the Columbia river road. The
Lyle-G road is also receiving
much advertising; but those who are in
a position to know assert there is as yet
nothing definite concerning the road.
One thing certain, the Columbia South
ern is making itself felt, and if plans
for its extentIon are carried into effect
which they will most likely be, some.
body hereabouts is bound to find it out.
However, now that the horse is out oi
the stable, there is little need to shut
the door. Let US see to it that other
opportunities in the way of manu-.
facturies, ETC., slip not entirely from ouI
grasp; but learn lesson by past ex.
perience.
Messrs. E. Jacobsen and G. F. Bar.
tholema, who with another travelling
man, j. Gurnee, started out with q
swell four-horse rig some weeks since
to make a trip into the interior, arrived
home at noon today. Their trip did no
prove all sunshine, but with it wal
mixed snow storm or two, which add
ed little spice to the journey. In the
first place, when they reached Fossi

A gentleman who was going over tn
