Agent Boyle has more trouble. The
first of the week three crates Of chick
ems arrived at the express office, and
he was unable to locate the owner for
about three days. During that time
the chickens became rather restless,
and as the coops were slimsey affairs,
they sotn worked some of the stats
loose and escaped. There was plenty
of feed lying around the track from
the feed warehouse near by, so that
they made themselves at home, hat
defied capture. A reward of ten cents
apiece for their capture failed to en-
list any volunteers, and it was not
until night that he succeeded In
rounding them up. lie was also sLb-
ject to fine according to the city or
dinance, as there Is an old ordinance
to the effect that chickens are not al
lowed on the streets after s p. N.

Capt. Spencer was In Hood River
Tuesday on business connected with
his boat line. The captain is con-
vinced that 1t will be impractical BILE
, to dredge the sand bar so as to make
) landing near the depot possible at low
water. lie says 1t would entail heavy
expense, with constant dredging of
the channel to keep 1t open. 1t will
! te much more feasible to make per
manent dock near the old mill site of
the Oregon Lumber Co., which would
make the landing nearer than at pi es-
ent, aud thought that both boat COM
panies would unite In putting In q
permanent dock which could be used
by all the boats. Their plan is to pur-
? chase the barn Of the company and
. turn II into double dock, which would
r make storage room for freight at all
: times, as we'll ss waiting room for
{ passengers. The present road can be
] improved, side walk built to the boat
r landing, and Il the city would cooper
8 ate In the matter, a permanent land
ing could be made which would be
satisfactory to all.
