; the fact that the value of land has been

There is one thing connected with onr
school life'which deserves especial com
mendation, namely, the universal good
nature displayed on the play ground.
The play is always vigorous and engaged
in promiscuously by large and small;
but it is never rough nor is there ever a
man in Wasco display of temper over some discomfit
ure. Defeat, is always accepted grace
fully and is -a -necessity for some one

We are sorry to hear that Harry Gil

in his tracks while hitched to the plow.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. 'A. Young of Bake

. Mrs. Dr. E". A. Ingalls has joined her
husband, Major Ingalls, at this place,
and is looking np the situation with a
'view to making professional arrange

to making the city the future home of
herself and husband.

A band of cattle that was brought to
.North Dalles to be ferried across the

to press. '
A petition is being circulated in the
Prineville country asking the postoffice
' department to change the route of The
Dalles and Prineville mai line so as to
run by way of Cow Canyon instead of by
way of Antelope. It is claimed that if
the stage company is forced to travel by
way of Antelope it will be impossible to
get the mail through on time 'during

address the citizens in tne court house
v next Friday., evening 'on "The Relations
of Oregon to the World's Fair" and
"Lessons to be Derived from the Wasco
County Exhibit at the Portland Exposi

take this step by a number of our leading
citizens and we earnestly trust that a
good audience 'niay greet him.- The
meeting will be held in the county court
room and will commence at 8 o'clock
sharp. '
A new cure has been discovered for
consumption which has decided advan

the raw material is abundant and one
has not to go to Germany to get it. It
is dog ine3t. A young woman in Shel

rather likes it. It taste like lamb. A

George Grey, of the firm ot Grant

From him we learn that from eighty-two
to eighty-three cents a bushel was being
paid for wheat at Grant Wednesday
when he left. ,
Professor U. G. Hurley will deliver
four free lectures in the brick school
house commencing tomorrow (Friday)
evening, ending Tuesday evening. The
lectures will smbracc such subjects as j
phrenology, physiognomy and marriage, i
The last lecture will be to men only.

The merchants of Goldendale having
pleged themselves to support the Regu
lator, the covered flat boat intended for
the Hood River landing has been moved
over to North Dalles to accomodate the
traffic. The boat company will make
some other arrangements for Hood
River in the near fnture.
Just as we go to press Major Ingalls
calls to say that owing to the excursion's I
falling on Friday evening, he will defer
his lecture till the next evening, Satur
day. The major never likes to interfere
with any good work that the ladies are
connected with and he desires that they
shall form the best part of his audience.
In another column will be found the
advertisement of Stacy Shown, watch
maker, who has started in business for
himself at the old stand of C. E. Dun
ham & Co., corner of Second and Union
Streets, where he will be pleased to see
any or all of his old friends. Stacy is'a
good workman, and has a host of
friends, and we predict for him a good
share of the business in his line.
The ladies of the Good Intent society
pf the M. E. Church are leaving nothing
undone that could add to the pleasure
the excursion tomorrow evening, and a
most enjoyable time is expected.. Let it
not be said that this effort of these ex
cellent ladies to raise funds needed to
furnish the church building soon to be
erected with seats and other necessary
i have to be handled carefully in order to I
' make them tell the truth.
In regard to the statement that the
value of land has been raised, I admit
that I valued the land of the Eastern
Oregon Land company higher than last
year, but as I presume they will not
kick nor anyone else worry about it, it
cannot do any harm to drop their assess
ment and consider only the assessment
ol the settler. In 1890 there were 140,
S09 acres of settler's land, assessed at
$628,425, making $4.28 per acre assess
ment. In 1891 there are 121,574 acres,
assessed at $763,498, or an assessment
per acre of $6.2S.
The unfair part, as I regret to say, is
in your failing to inform, tne reader that
you in your assessment, only took for
yonr assessment one-half your valuation
which, as this is the fact, makes your
valuation $8.50 or double $4.28.
And as I was instructed by the county
court to take seventy-five per cent, of
mv valuation, it follows that my valua
tion must be fS.37 per acre, as $0.28 is
three-fourths of that number. So if
$8.37 is sixty-five per cent, above $8.56
then 1 have surely outraged the farmer
this time.
But I will stop by continuing and say
to the farmer that I may have assessed
him too higlj. If so, I am sorry for it.
To the stock-raiser; I probably have
yon too- high. I beg pardon for it. To
the merchant; I may have been too
hard on you. Please forgive me. To
tho doctor, lawyer, blacksmith and
shoemaker ; If I have valued you too
hiuhly I am sorry. I have assessed my
self too high for this. I never expect to
get forgiveness. I am truly sorry
that I had to assess .anyone. I
have done my duty as nearly as I could.
For this I almost eaij I'm sorry.

The citizens ot The Dalles ought not to

it is bound to win. I have traveled
several thousand miles this season to

Southeastern Washington and through

A man named Oie Dahl a Norwegian
was discovered acting very strangely in

Charley Richmond believing him to be
crazy took him to the city jail where
he was confined pending an examina

a ranch on Cedar Creek near La Center,
Clark County, Wash.vand that he has a
brother in the sheep business near An
telope, this county, named Jack Larsen
and there is no reason to doubt that his
story is true. That he is crazy there
can be no doubt. He told the writer a
rambling story of having talked to the
devil, all the way in from Sherar's
Bridge 'Monday. He said Jesus Christ
told him to have nothing to do with the
devil and that in Buchlers brewery,
when the devil came ud to the table
where God told him to geb some bread
to eat with his beer, he just hit the
devil a blow with the side of his fist on
the back of the neck. Persons in the
city from Antelope remember to have
seen Dahl out there engaged in the bus
iness of water witching. He seems, a
quiet harmless man and. is comfortably
and respectfully dressed.

WASCO ACADEMY SdlES.
Today witnesses the close of what has
probably been, all things considered
the most prosperous term the Academy
has ever known. There have been
times when more pupils were in atten
dance, but there has never been stronger
sympathy between teachers and pupils
and more united and sustained effort on
the part of all. While financial success
is always desirable in a school, its
greatest success can never be measured
by dollars and cents. The growth in
character of its pupils determines
whether a school deserves support from
a community, and, measured by that
stand, Wasco Academy certainly de
serves a high rank among the secondary
schools of the country. The next ses
sion, which begins Monday, November
10th, promises to be even more success
ful than the one just closed. We hope
all who are contemplating attendance
will be on hand promptly at 9 o'clock
that morning.

Teacher "What position does Mr.
Colonel Houghton Reply-
The Dalles, Or., Nov. 10, 1891.
Editor of the Chronicle:
I notice in your issue of the 9th a criti
cism on me clipped from the Fossil
Journal, which I think calls for a reply,
not in justification of myself, although
it does me a great injustice, but- for the
good of the regiment and to put the
blame where it belong'.
The bills for wagon transportation and
extra rations of E company, also II and
I companies to and from their armory
to the encampment, via the nearest rail
road station is just and right and the
state should pay them. The facts are
these: Tho encampment ended on the
evening of July 4th and the state mili
tary board met on the 12th. None of
these bills were received by me until the
morning of the 12th and in one instance
several days later. They left by Xhe
next mail for Salem but the board had
adjourned before they arrived. I noti
fied the captains of these companies
that they would have to wait until the
October meeting when I presented them
again and urged the necessity of having
themallowed.as the money had been paid
by the men out of their own pockets, and
the delay was working a hardship upon
them. Adjutant General Sbofner "in
formed me that they had been allowed
by the board, since which time I have
not heard from the secretary of state or
received one cent, either for armory
rents for last quarter or in payment of
these bills, although I have gone to Port
land and kept my business closed for two
days in order to see the adjutant general
and get this adjusted. No one is to
blame. So Jar as I can ascertain the
military fund is inadequate and has al
ready been overdrawn, which is the
only construction I can put on the de
lay. I, E and H companies are deserv
ing of the highest praise of any com
panies in the regiment for the manner
in which they did their duty at camp;
no grumbling or kicking, although they
rode sixty miles through dust and dirt
to get to the railroad, paying their ex
penses out of their own pockets. N
one regrets this unfortunate circum
stance more than I and no one could
have done more than I have done. The
report of Sargeant Bentley referred to is
false in every particular.
As to my resignation, I shall be only
too glad to receive notice of its accept
ance and sincerely hope, for the good of
the regiment, that my successor may be
the ideal colonel the Fossil Journal has j
pictured and may succeed in rousing
Company E from its state of lethargy, j
into which the1 editor of the Journal

as tall over six feet high and slim ;xthe
other stouter and of in edium high
and both wore apparently shabby over
coats which came down nearly to their
ankles. Something like veiling or mos
quito netting covered each face so that it
was impossible for Mr. Mason to recog
nize the features. The town has been
full of strangers for some time, several
of tbem have the marks and brands of
the genuine tm-horn and all round
hoodlum. The cities east of us have
been driving these gentry from their
borders and the sooner thev are driven
out of here the better for the community.

It will be seen that the land acreage is
less by 44,232 aores. This ia partly
accounted for by the fact that a slice has
been cut off the county and added to
Sherman and partly by the fact that the
mortgage indebtedness has increased on
lands whose indebtedness covers their
