cs THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE,, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1892. 3 The Weekly Ghfoniele. THE DALIES, - OREGON FRIDAY, - - - JANUARY 8, 1892. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. . II. Sherar of Sherars bridge was in he city Saturday. ' R. E. Saltmarsb. is rapidly recovering from bis late illness. John Krcrger, a well-known farmer of Hood River, is in the city. Two car loads of fine, fat hogs were fed Monday at the stock yards. f - John L. Sullivan, the champion slug' ger of the world was in Portland last R. B. Wilson, traveling freight agent of the Northern Pacific railroad com pany, is in the city. S. M. Wait, founder of AVaitsburg, Wash., died at Dayton on December 28th in his 69th year. Telephone connection has been made with the Umatilla house and the livery stable of C. L. Richmond. The Cheosicle has been awarded the city printing and is now the official paper of this corporation. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Rice, re turned on the Regulator Friday evening from a month's trip to California. A purse was found at the foot of the steps at Mr. Lord's incline. The owner can have it by calling at this office. Adjutant-General R. W. Mitchell. of the Oregon National Guard reports that Oregon has 41,750 men fit for military service. John Carlin of Bake Oven brought into town on Thursday the scalps of ten cayotes which he trapped during the fall and winter. Mrs. Dr. Kinehart left Saturday for Missoula, Mont., to take Mr. J. P. Case's baby to his parents. Mrs. Rine hart will return in about ten days. C. W. Rice, late stock inspecter of this county, now of Silverton, is here on a visit. We are much pleased to learn that he has completely recovered his health. Civorge Knaggs has resigned his posi' tion as purser of the steamer Dalles City and Trueman Butler of the Regulator, appointed to fill the place. John Hampshire takes the position vacated by Mr. Butler. J. B. Wallace, who has been in the employ of the city as engineer for the last six or eight months has tendered his resignation and will left Saturday for Portland. G. W. Flegg, of Eight Mile, informs us that the new grange, hall at Eight Mile is now complete and that it will be opened on the third Saturday of this month with a grand gathering of grangers and basket festival. A professional burglar named Thomas Whalen, sent to states' prison from Portland for seven years for burglary picked the lock of his cell last Tuesday night, and by means of a rope and tackle and a ladder made his escape. A number of Hood River people came up Monday to give testimony before F. Menefee, referee, in a suit concerning certain water rights on Philps Creek, in which B. Warren is plaintiff and the Oregon Lumber company defendauts. When the Regulator arrived at her wharf Friday evening about 200 persons had assembled to meet her, accompanied by the Dalles brass band which played several selections of music in honor of the people's Iwat. It was a handsome act, handsomely executed. The boys called for three cheers for Captain Wil son which were given with a will. . A singular coincidence happened in connection with the death of Mrs. Stricklin, who departed this life at Barlow's Gate, in this county, on the 21st of December last. Mrs. Stricklin died, as we have said, on the 21st of December, and was buried on the 23rd. Her husband, William Stricklin. died on the 21st and was buried on the 23rd of December, 1879. As the sound of the last stroke of the midnight houi died upon the air Thurs day night, apparently every steam whistle in the city Vegan to screech un- ' til it appeared as if pandemonium had broken loose. The noise of the steam whistles was . intermingled with the firing of guns and pistols, the beating of drums and blowing of horns. The racket lasted for nearly an hour and then quiet reigned till morning. J. A. Nicholson has left at this office a small vial filled with what is known in the oil regions as the 5th stratum of oil bear ing sand rock. This particular sample was taken from a depth of 2200 feet in Wash ington county, Pennsyluania. Layers of this mall broken rock are found at . intervals in the process of well boring, the oil being found in the layers. This applies to Pennsylvania and Ohio, while the rock is entirely absent from the Canadian oil fields. A Successful Firm. . One of the most successful and enter prising business firms of this city is that of Maier & Benton. Four years ago they opened a small grocery store on Second street and by close attention to business and fair dealing their custom rapidly outgrew thoir accommodations so that they were obliged to. move into the large and commodious quarters in the Gates building, corner of Third and Union streets. Here they keep every thing that can usually be found in a first class grocery store and are doing a large and prosperous business. Not content with this, however, a short time after the Are they ' purchased the tin and hardware stock of A. Bettingen and opened out at the old Bettingen stand on Second street. It was a fine stroke of business foresight, and the result has justified all their expectations. Here they practically stepped into a business already made which their eminent dusi- ness capacity and accommodating man' ners have vastly increased, till today it ranks among the leading houses in the citv. Evervthincr usually found in a first-class tin and hardware store can be found here. The visitor will find the large floor of the store building literally packed with stoves and ranges of every size, description, quality and price to suit the needs of the trade. Among these we noticed magnificent. Empire wrought steel and other ranges from $20 a piece up ; a fine line of Argand base burners and other heating stoves, from $3.50 each to a quality that would grace a palace ; and every variety and size of Eastern and Oregon-made cooking stoves. On the one side is an extended range of shelving filled with shelf and building hardware, cutlery, plated ware in knives, forks, spoons and carving sets, on the other an equally extended range of tin and granite ware. The firm makes a specialty of plumbing. This part of the business is under the mau- azement of Mr. Benton, who is a skilled workman, and is furnished with every modern convenience for carrying on this branch of the trade. Patent water closts, tanks, plunger closets, Philadel phia hoppers in fact, the best of every thing in this line is kept in stock- and furnished to customers at reasonable living rates. The tinning department another important feature of the bus i ness, is under the management of an ex perienced tin-smith, who is furnished with every facility for the manufacture of new goods or repairing old on:s. At the time the firm bought out Mr. Bet tingen they intended to go out of the grocery trade entirely and confine them selves to their new business; but the grocery business kept growing so rap idly that the firm concluded to continue in it and have placed it under the man agement of H. A. Bills, for many years the very accommodating assistant of George Ruch. Maier & Benton are both rustlers and we predict that a very pros perous future awaits them. Council Meeting. The regular monthly meeting of the common council was held on Thursday evening at which all the members were present excepting councilman Chas. E Haight who is temporarily absent from the city. The petition of P. H. Delaney, for ex penses incurred while suffering from injuries received by reason of falling in to a hole or pit at foot of Washington street was referred to the city attorney with instructions to report at next meet ing. The petition of Mrs. Baldwin was laid over till next meeting. The petition for a cross walk from the residence of Ben. E. Snipes to the resi dence of J. M. Paterson was granted A communication from M. A. Moody relating to the sale of a small lot of lum ber was referred to the street commis sioner. George C. Bills was elected special night watchman for the East Fnd at a salary of $60 a month. The contract for the city printing for the year 1892 was awarded to the Chronicle publishing company. Vs. H. Loch head was granted per mission to vary a few inches from the established grade in building a side walk in front of his place of business. Report of the city attorney on the or dinances relating to the franchise of the electric light company and the western union telegraph company was laid over. A similar disposal was made of the re port of the city attorney on the side walk on Union street reaching to the school house grounds. The ordinance establishing the grades of certain streets was referred to the mayor and committee on streets. The salary ordinance was laid over till next meeting. Licences to sell liquor were granted to Wolf Shroeder, John Donovan, Charles Stubbling, F. Leinke, Ad Kellar, P. T. Nicholas, N. B. Sinnott, McDonald Bros., A. Bettingen, Metz& Pundt.AA'.T. Wiseman, J. O. Mack, F. W. L. Skibbe, Dan Baker and Ben Wilson. The street commissioner was instructed to repair the crossing between the Col umbia and Umatilla house corners, also from the residence of J, B. Crossen to the Korten property and from the Metz and Pandt corner to the office of the Regulator. ; " Bills were allowed to the amount of $953,16. . On motion the meeting adjourned till Saturday evening January 9th insf. DIED. In this city on January 1st, Alice K. Johns the beloved wife of Sam Johns. The funeral will take place tomorrow from the residence of the deceased. In connection with the death of Mrs. Johns there is the sad coincidence that her father R. H. Walker of St. Helens Wash., was buried at that place yesterday. A Chapter of The Dalles History. " There is not better record of the his tory of a community than its local news paper. Daily or weekly, as the case may be, passing events are recorded while the memory of them is yet green. A single copy thus becomes a whole chapter of the history of a community, a history that has' an interest all its own, growing an intensity as we turn the files backward. A lady friend of the Chronicle has presented us with an old copy of the weekly Mountaineer of March 7, ' 1868 the only paper published at that time in this city and one of the eighteen papers published in the state and the only paper published m all Eastern Oregon. AVe have read it with intense interest and we believe a short summary of the history it gives us of The Dalles of four and twenty years ago will not he uninteresting to our readers. The paper is a six column folio well and neatly printed and full of interesting matter. It tells us that William M. Hand is its publisher, that the office is in the post office building on Main street, up stairs, that it is the United States official paper for Oregon and that its price is $3 a year, six months $2, single copy 25 cents. The list of pro fessional gentlemen on the first page shows the names of Drs. C. B. Brooks, T. B. Jackson and B. W. Mitchell. Attorneys O. N. Denney, of The Dalles, I. D. Haines, of Baker City, and C. H. Miller "Joaquin Miller," of Canyon City, who curiously enough says he will practice in all the courts of Oregon "ex cept the county court of Grant county." j (Since writing the above we have f learned that "Joaquin" was at that j time countv judge of Grant county; hence, the exception.) J. B. Condon has no card but in another place his name appears as attorney in a case in which John AYilliams was plain tiff and James East defendant. J. G. Wilson was the circuit judge, X. R. Packard, county clerk; Thomas Howard sheriff; J. AV. Baldwin his deputy and E. P. Fitzgerald school superintendent; N. H. Gates has no card but his name appears as attorney far Mary Harring ton who 6ues for a divorce from her husband J. F. Harrington. E. Schutz was then conducting a dancing academy at $15 per quarter for adults and children $10, at which, "all the modern dances were taught." Besides the dancing academy E. Schutz was senior partner in the Jackson saloon, corner of Court and Second with S. Klein as junior. Frederick Benzer was running the New York bakery'on Main street, Ben Kor ten was conducting the Chrysta' saloon on Washington street, next door to French & Gilman There were three meat markets, the City market on AA'ash ington and Third owned by Lauber & Co., the AA'ashineton market, corner of Court and Second by JohnMichaelbach, and J.ne Dalles market soutnwnest cor-' ner of "Washington and Second by Has tings & Hodge. Thomas Smith was running the Empire hotel on Main street, while' the Umatilla house, with "accomodations for 200 guests," a bar room and reading room and "free lunch every morning at 10" was conducted by Handley and Sinnott. French & Gil man announce that they dissolved part nership on Februaiy 21st, 1868 and their successors French & Co,, are conducting a wholesale and retail wine, liquor and grocery business, corner of Second and AVashington. Bloch Miller & Co., have a dry goods store and assay office corner of Main and AVashington and F.' AA'yck man is making and selling boots and shoes on Main street, "opposite Chap in's Hall." S. L. Brooks gives notice to delinquent stock holders of the AA'asco Woolen Manufacturing Co., that on the 16th day of March he will sell at public auction as much of their stock as may be necessary to pay the delinquent - assess ments thereon. Over forty tons of the machinery for the woolen mill had ar rived in the city on the fourth of the month, "165 days from New York, via Cape Horn." The announcement is made that a duplicate set of machinery is en route, but as there is no wool in the country, the mill will not be able to go into operation until after the spring clip. ' Then, as now, politics occupied the attention of the average American citi zen. A biennial election was approach ing and the county conventions of two parties are announced. N. R. Packard is chairman of the democratic county convention and the delegates are called to meet in the city on March 5th, all of which shows that the editor of the Mountaineer then as his successor of the Timet-Mountaineer now, sometimes ran a "dead head advertisement after it was out of date. This remark, however, will not apply to the advertisement of the "Union County convention," which is called for March I2th. Robert Mavs is the chairman and he warns the union men that the public interest demanded that "yon look after the late method of Democratic Retrenchment in AVasco county," which seems to be a sarcastic way of hinting that the democrats had either been doing a little stealing or practising unwonted extravagance."

Week of Prayer. In connection with the world's week of prayer the churches of this city will hold a prayer meeting every evening during the week at the W. C. T. U. rooms, corner of Second and Federal Streets, commencing at 7:30 o'clock. The meeting this evening will be pre sided over by Mrs. Smith French and the subject will be "Confession and Thanksgiving" Confession, of personal, social, acid national 'sins; of sectarian jealousy and rivalry. Thanksgiving, for united prayer ; for the success of the Florence Conference, and for all bless- i ings, spiritual and temporal. (Psa. li ; j Dan. ix, 3-19 ; Psa. xxxiv ; Eph. i, 15 23).

Writers transmit to us some curious facts in regard to the demand and sup ply of false hair when wigs were in fashion. The trade in wigs, for France supplied all the rest of Europe, became immense, and was represented in Paris by a large number of wholesale mer chants, who employed cutters to operate in the provinces, especially in Normandy, Flanders and Holland, where the hair of the women was finer. The hair of warm countries was not wanted, because too coarse. English women and girls did not care to part with their hair, and were not so poor as to be forced to the sacrifice. Some villages in Normandy furnished as much as ten pounds, aver- aging two feet in length. j The price was from four to five francs a pound, and it was cut from the heads i of the living, from the heads of the dead or sewed after combing, each kind having its commercial name. The great demand at hist rendered the supply so scarce that horsehair had to be used in stead or in part. Cincinnati Commer cial Gazette. Peculiar Roses. One of the wars of the roses, the fierc- est and deadliest of them all, was fought on a held where, curiously enough, a rose peculiar to the spot grows or used to grow. It is a rare plant now, and the reason is explained by Mr. Leadman in his account of Yorkshire battles. After describing the terrible battle at Towton on Palm Sunday, 1461, he says: "I can not conclude this story of Towton field without an allusion to the little dwarf bushes peculiar to the 'Field of the White Rose and the Red.' "They are said to have been plentiful at the commencement of this century, but the visitors have taken them away in such numbers that' they have become rare. Such vandalism is simply shame ful, for the plants are said to be unique and unable to exist in any other soil. The little rosea are white, with a red spot on the center of each of their petals, and as they grow old the under surface becomes a dull red color." London News. The Growth of Crystals. Some crystals, it is believed, have had their growth suspended during millions of years, after which enormous lapse of time the growth has been renewed. Such a process would be impossible to animals and plants, although some imaginative story writers have treated their readers to wonderful accounts of suspended ani mation in man. ' In on respect crystals possess a great advantage over living beings like our selves they are able to renew their youthl This is not because they have discovered a counterpart of the marvel ous fountain that Ponce de Leon so vain ly searched for, but because the forces of crystallization are able to renew their action even after the greater part of a crystal has been destroyed through age or accident. Youth's Companion. Was This Parrot a Bad Friend.' A friend of mine once had a gorgooos Afrioan parrot, a bird so handsome and so accomplished that everybody petted him, but so sure as we held out a lump of sugar, a bit of fruit or candy with "Here, Polly! Pretty Polly? want some sweeties!" he would dart his head aside and savagely nip not the lump of sugar but the fingers that held it. It seemed to rouse all his worst temper to feel that he was obliged to receive the gift from one who had the power to withhold it. I have often fancied that if reincarna tion is a possibility, that parrot had been one of the jealous and venal souls some poor innocent had taken for a friend, and from whom a wound had been received not in the fingers, but in the heart. Mrs. Frank Leslie. Women Doctors in England. I "In Great Britain," said Dr. Elizabeth j Blackwell, "our seventy-three registered j women doctors are few compared with i the three thousand in the United States. ! Yet with . the nine students in our Lon don school and the addition of the Edin burgh classes and the fact that the Glas gow Medical college has lately opened its doors to women, clearly indicate that the movement has taken sturdy growth in 'our country, and when our English work has been carried on For forty years there is every probability that our Brit ish woman doctors will equal numerically our kinsfolk across, the water."

Saved from Death by Onions.
