Henry Hahn of Portland, is registered at the Umatilla House. S. Frichter wants to buy scrap iron, of a certain kind. See ad. P.J.

Conductor Clint Thomas has taken Mr. Fowler’s caboose. William M. Barnett, president of the Sherman county bank of Wasco (Oregon), advertises for bids for the erection of a one story brick building in the town of Wasco. Mr. and Mrs. L.J. Klinger, of Dufur (Oregon), were in town today. Mr. Klinger says it is reported out at Dufur that every man in The Dalles is a candidate for office, except three. Who the happy triplet are Louis did not know. In another column Messrs. Gibons and Huntington advertise for the construction of a foundation and chimneys for the new Congregational church, soon to be built in this city. J.F. Brown, of Indiana, W. Worden of Nebraska, and S.B. Robberson from the Willamette valley, went out this morning on the Wapinitia (Oregon) stage, with the intention of purchasing land or locating claims in that part of the country. These gentlemen have been in The Dalles for several days past and they are much pleased with the climate and general appearance of things in Eastern Oregon. The gentlemen seem to be of the class of settlers that this country needs, young, energetic and sober men who are not afraid of work and are possessed of sufficient means to give them a good start. Mr. J.C. Lucky, Indian Agent at the Warm Springs (Oregon) is in the city. ……….. Hatching out on the reservation and in the Oak Grove county by the thousands and fears are entertained that they may repeat the mischief they did last year when they destroyed grain, grass and garden truck over a wide area. A lamp was upset last night in one of Honorable E.B. Dufur’s up-stairs rooms and the fire communicating with the window curtain a lively time was had for a little time smothering the flames with blankets and bed clothes. The fire was soon extinguished and with only nominal damage. BROTHERHOOD OF PILOTS AND MASTERS A delegation of Masters and Pilots from Willamette harbor No. 23, of the American Brotherhood, met at Masonic hall in this city last night and initiated Capt. John McNulty of the steamer D.S. Baker, Capt. Fred Wilson of the Regulator, and Capt. H.C. Coe of Hood River. Among the delegation of officers and members of the Brotherhood present were: Capt. W.H. Patterson, U.P.R. steamship Pilot, Captain; Capt. S.V. Short, of the steamer Dalles City, First Pilot; Capt. L.A. Bailey, of the Coos bay steamship Willapa; Capt. Charles Kamm of the steamer Ocean Wave; and Capt. Joe Turner of the steamer J. Ordway. The American Brotherhood of Masters and Pilots is a National organization of men fraternizing of the advancement of the transportation service, by sea and river, for the protection of their mutual interests; the interest of the public; and of company, corporate or personal property entrusted to their care in the performance of duty. It has a very extended field for its operation, embracing nearly every port and harbor of consequence in the United States, and its influence is felt in foreign tributary ports on the Pacific coast, from British Columbia to Mexico. Their meeting in The Dalles, was perhaps the first one of any kind ever held in the Masonic hall, of this city outside the limit of that order, and the officers of the Brotherhood wished to have the CHRONICLE publicly mention the fact that they gratefully appreciate the favor. They also desire us to extend thanks to the Dalles, Portland and Astoria Navigation company for courtesies which will be duly remembered. DALLES BOYS TO THE FRONT The SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE, of February 23rd, contains a long account of an entertainment given on Washington’s birthday, at the Notre Dame, Indiana University by the Thespian society of that institution, in which two Dalles boys Messrs. N.J. and R.B. Sinnott took leading parts and according to the TRIBUNE acquitted themselves with marked ability. The play presented was Shakespeare’s Julius Caeser and in the cast the part of Cassius was assigned to N.J. Sinnott, while that of Lucilius was assigned to his brother, R.B. Sinnott. The TRIBUNE says the tragedy was the finest effort ever seen upon the local stage, with students as interpreters, particularly mentioning a scene in which Mr. N.J. Sinnott took a leading part as “particularly fine and, in fact, the best part of the play.” BEFORE THE RECORDER The city jail contained a general all round, thoroughbred hobo last night. He begged food in various parts of the city and when he did not get permission to partake of it in the best parlor he amused himself by threatening advances toward the lady donors. Having filled his worthless hide with solids he made a begging raid on the saloons for liquor to wash the solids down. Here, the marshal came upon his trail and pulled him in. Jack Stanels will use him in his business for the next few days. COMING TOO LATE, possibly Salem, March 10 – Articles were filed in the secretary of states’ office today of the Portland and Pacific railroad company. The incorporators are D.W. Lichtemhaler, A.C.
