day with wool-laden wagons bound for
The Dalles and others loaded with
freight from that place. great deal
of freight from The Dalles is hauled at
this season as the returning wool wagons
will bring it much cheaper than it can
be hauled for at any other time. At
one time on Wednesday we counted
twenty wagons laden with wool, passing
through town.-Antelope Herald.
Justice Bayard is doing land Office
business in the marriage line, and his
face wore a broad smile as the reporter
asked if he was guilty or not guilty of
the charges against him. On Saturday
evening at o'clock he performed the
ceremony which united in marriage jos.
D. Hoffman and Mrs. Arabella Rogers,
both of this city. At high noon today,
at his home on Tenth street, Pearl E.
Ornduff and Miss Millie Martz, of Wasco,
were made one.
Yesterday morning Rev. Bronsgeest
delivered a very earnest address to his
congregation, enlarging upon the subject
mentioned by THE CHRONICLE regarding
the deplorable state of affairs which ex-
lists in our city among the young girls,
who seem to have SO little concern as to
their character. He urged the parents
to give heed to the manner in which
their children are brought up, caution
ing them against giving so little thought
to their duties concerning them.
Passenger train No. 1, which is sup
posed to arrive here at 2:55 p. M, is
sore eye to west bound passengers. She
is seldom on time, and it is difficult
matter to find out just what time she is
expected, for one dislikes to be con-
tinually ''ringing up" No. SO to find out.
However, that seems to be the only way
ofdetermining, ard the employees will, it
seems, have to endure the annoyance of
answering the phone or abandon their
train, which would be sad thing for
Dalles people.
The Columbia is as chargeable as the
moon. One day it is falling at such a
rate that we really would become hope
full if it were not for the reports that
give US an inkling of her didoes. Today
she stands at 33.6, having walked up
IL since yesterday. The reports say
q rise all along the line, 2.9 being re-
ported at lewiston. At this place
Thursday It will reach the SO mark. 1t
will not Cross the track here until the
5I-foot mark is reached, but 46 feet will
give them trouble at the Cascades.
The music-loving portion of our city
will be pleased to learn that quite a
large subscription list has been obtained
for the violin recital, which will take
place Wednesday evening in the K. of
P. hall. Mr.. Rice is violinist of un-
usual ability and having obtained such
an accompanied as Prof. Birgfeld, must
certainly give Dalles people a treat they
seldom have the privilege of listening
too. Should any desire to add their
names to the list, they may do go by
applying at Blakeley & Houghton's drug
store.
We learn from neighbore IN the vicin-
ity of Union and Seventh streets that
Cottingham, who was injured about a
week ago when walking on the railroad
track, is in a bad condition, being un.
able to care for himself and having little
of the necessaries of life. The neighbors
have been caring for him, and have ap-
piled to have him sent to the poor farm
1t seems to many that it is hardly fail
for man to wreck his own life anC
then be dependent upon the charity o.
the citizens of the county but humanity
overlooks these feelings and will mo-
turn anyone from the door unheeded.
