L. Tirrel, of .Huntington, a former
well known citizen of The Dalles, is in
the city on his way to visit Mr. and
Mrs. J. H. Sberar at the bridge.
The sale of the property of the North
Dalles shoe factory which was adver
tised to take place today au& foniorrow
has, we understand been indefinitely
postponed.
Everything indicates spring excepting
the date, January 27. Even a large
flock of geese was seen flying north this
morning, evidently under the impression
that winter is gone.
Julius Wiley, of "Hungry Harbor,"
was in town today. Julius says when
Sain Thurnian'8 peanuts are ripe they
intend to change the name to Peanut
Harbor, that is, mind you, when Sam's
peanuts are ripe, not before.
Deputy Sheriff J. H. Phirman is now
"Judge" Phirman. At least he is acting
as a judge on a jury trial, to determine
the right of property in a stallion, in a
ease in which John Thomas is plaintiff
and A. J. Moses defendant.
J. E. McCorinick has obtained nearly
$400 in subscriptions toward the ex
penses of procuring artificial rain in the
month of May next. The remainder of
the subscriptions required will be j
obtained without much difficulty. I
William Cantrei of Tygh traveled all
Tuesday night on his way to town to bring
out Dr. Logan to that place to visit the
wife of W. D. Moody, who was danger
ously sick when Mr. Cantrei left. Dr.
Logan left for Tygh at 5 o'clock Wednes
day morning.
A fine time is assured at the social at
the Y. M. C. A. hall tomerrow at 7 :30
p. in. Impromptu addresses on
"Modern Inventions" will be inter
sperced with music for one hour, after
which an hour will be spent in amuse
ments. All are invited to participate.
Jim Harper called at this office this
-duorning to eay that the big 16-inch foot
mark seen on the sidewalks was not
made by George Runyan. George wears
wears boots and Jim says his foot only
measures fifteen inches and a half.
That settles it. It must be somebody
else.
The marks of a bare huuaan foot about
10 inches long seen, everywhere on the
sidewalks of the city this morning, all
leading in one direction namely to
John Booth's store, have given rise to a
good deal of inquiry. It is supposed the
owner of the foot has grown to the
proportion of a giant through eating
John Booth's Quaker oats.
Dr. Logan rr turned home last night
about 9 o'clock from his trip to Tygh
to visit Mrs. W. D. Moody whom he left
quite comfortable with the hope of a
speedy convalescence. The doctor had a
hard time getting home as the night
was intensely dark. Six times the team
left the road and twice the doctor had
to get out and feel for the wagon track
with his hands and feet. "
A subscription was presented to the
citizens of The Dalles, this week for
the purposes of raining funds to have a
test made of the rain producing powers
of the Interstate Artificial Rain Co., of
Goodland, Kan. The subscriptions are
conditioned on the satisfactory fulfill
ment of any contract made with the
company. It is a case of no rain, no
pay. No difficulty is anticipated in the
matter of raising all the money required
and twice as much if necessary.
The Portland papers show that B. F.
Durphy and M. E. Durphy, not un
known in this city in connection with
The Dalles shoe factory, have got into
trouble down there over some shady
transaction on account of which they
are sued for the recovery of the value of
certain, promissory notes given them
without consideration. One of the
charges against them is that they had
sold and received pay for a piece of land
which, it was afterwards proved they
did not own.
We are informed by one of our promi
nent citizens that Goldendale is nearer
rail road communication than ever. It
is reported that a party of surveyors are
going over the Hunt survey from the
mouth of Rock Creek to Wallula. The
supposition is, while at the present time
the Hunt lines are in the hands of a
receiver, the lines will be sold in the
near future to parties that will put the
same through to Portland over Hunt's
survey. It is a well known fact that
bond holders of rail roads are not going
to let their properties or securities in the
hands of a receiver any longer than
possible Sentinel.
J. T. Delk of Hood River came np on
the noon passenger. Tuesday.
Wm. McCown and Clay Butler of
Tygh were in town Tuesday.
' Ir. John. Cradlebaugh of the Hood
River Glacier was in town Monday.
John Filloon and Ed. Hill made a
business trip to Goldendale this week.'
The C. C. C. Concert.
The C. C. C. concert last night was
very much more than a mere financial
.success. It was an exhibit of musical
.tome' talent rarely met with in any city
of the size of The Dalles while the sing
incr of Miss Lena Morzan afforded a
treat to oar people that they have rarely
an opportunity of enjoying. At exactly
8 :15 the concert was opened by . the
chorus "Beggars Carnival" which was
excellently rendered by the choir.
This was followed -by "Ah! Could I
Teach the Nightingale," a very pleasing
duet by the Misses Crandall and Maie
Williams. Then came the solo "A Tu
se Donna," by Miss Morgan which was
charmingly rendered and fairly captured
the house. Of course an encore followed
and the response came in "Rubinstine's
Melody in F," which was re
ceived with rounds of applause.
In point of fact the audience was now
charmed to a point of dissatisfaction
they wanted unmistakably that Miss
Morgan should keep on singing which,
of course could not be. Then came a
finely executed cornet duet "The Swiss
Boy," by Ed Williams and Jamea Ben
ton. This was followed by the solo,
"My Lady's Bower," in the hap
piest style of the chorister H. P.
Ernst. An encore followed and was met
with a very pretty and catchy serio
comic ballad entitled"MaryGreen." The
audience showed their appreciation by a
second hearty call, when Mr. Ernst
responded by repeating the last verse
of the melody. Then came a magnifi
cently executed instrumental duet by
two of our most accomplished 'pianists,
Mrs. G. C. Dexter and Miss Matilda
Hollister. It was encored, of course, it
could not be otherwise and the response
met with hearty applause. Then came
a fine anthem by the choir, and then a
very pretty solo by Miss Morgan, en
titled "Thee Only I Love." A hearty
encore brought out what perhaps every
one present considered the masterpiece
of the evening, a pretty little cradle
song that was certainly the sweetest
thing ever brought before a Dalles
audience. Miss Morgan's rendering of
the song was as charming as a delight
fully pleasing voice and perfect culture
could make it. Everyone felt the power
of the accomplished artiste and every
ear was strained to catch the faintest
whisper of the matchless melody. The
applause that followed was long and
loud. Then came Mr. Benton's cornet
solo, Yankee Doodle (witblvariations)
which was well executed ; then a very
sweet song by Mrs. Huntirjgton "The
Fewer Girl" who responded to an en
core with "FairyFrom Shadow Town."
Both of these were rendered very sweetly
and were well received as anything from
Mrs. Huntington always is. Then came
the vocal duet "See the Pale Moon," by
Miss Lena Morgan and Miss Maie
Williams. This was another charming
piece and was finely executed. The
audience was unsatisfied and wanted
more, but the Misses Morgan and
Williams refused to respond and the
concert closed with a "Winter Lullaby"
a trio with chorus by Misses Mai3 E.
Williams and Grace Crandall and Mr.
H. P. Ernst. This brought to a close a
most successful concert. The house was
well filled and a handsome balance will
be added to the pipe organ fund of the
new Congregational church. Mr. Ernst j
managed all the arrangements and de- j
serves great credit for the results.
The Citizen Meet and DIscum.
A meeting was held in the court house
Monday night which was called at the ex
press desire of the county court in order
that that body might obtain an express
ion of the minds of the tax-payers as to
whether or not the court, in making the
county levy, should ignore the findings
of the state board of equalization as
1 Multnomah county has done and make
the county levy from the roll of the
county assessor. Mr. Josoph T. Peters
was called to the chair and after a brief
statement of the' object which brought
them together a motion was made by
D. M. French to the effect that the
county court should make its levy from
the returns of the county assessor. The
motion " was seconded by- Rev. Mr.
Spencer, who earnestly urged that it
was the duty of the county,. court to up
hold and recognize the work of the state
board. Mr. Spencer held that in ignor
ing the work of the board as M'lltnomah
county had done we were assuming to
be judges of the constitutionality of the
law that created the board, a thing that
the supreme court alone had a right to
do. He believed that mortgages should
be taxed at their face value and that if
we ignore the work of the state board
we so far give our 'moral support to a
county that has become notorious for its
opposition to any legislation that tended
to make it pay its just proportion of the
taxes of the state. Hugh Gonrlay, replied
by saying that if it were a question of vio
lating the Statutes, the state board had
set the example. All property in the
state must be assessed equally. It did
not require the supreme court to deeide
that it was illegal to assess one class of
real estate at one-third or one-half its
yalue and tax mortgage, s which the law
created real estate for the purposes of
assessment and taxation, at their full
face. This matter had already been
tested and Judge Deady had decided it
could not be done. There could be only
one outcome to a suit of this character
should the state sue Multnomah county,
and in the event of such an action if the
supreme court should sustain tne state
board we would lose nothing. Wasco
county could in that case, pay the addi
tional state tax and that would end the
matter. On the other hand should th
work of the board be declared unconsti
tutional, as he had not a shadow of a
doubt it would be, we would be saved
the endless complications that 'would
arise from having made the county levy
on an illegal basis. Mr. W. Lord said if
we paid the extra $1,400 state tax that
would be the last e would see of it and
that the ignoring of the work of the
slate board would not embarrass the
state in the least. The ayes and noes
were then called for, when the motion
wag carried by an apparently over
whelming majority.

Kingsley Items.
Kingsley, San 25, 1892.
We are sorry to chronicle the fact of
Mr. E. L. Boy n ton 's loss by fire on the
20th, of his granery and its contents and
also a year's supply of bacoii belonging
to his son Chailey, who is living on the
farm. The loss is at least $200, and no
insurance. This must seem a little hard
as it will be remembered that' a little
over a year ago Mr. Boynton had a barn
and its contents, and also a very fine
Percheron stallion burned.
At nearly every house in this vicinity
there is one or more down with the La
Grippe or had colds, but so far no case
has proved fatal. ,
The snow has nearly all disappeared
and the ground is frozen two or three
inches but there is more moisture in
the ground than there has been for the
last three years and farmers are all con
fident of a good crop the coming har
vest. .
There was a social dance given at the
Kingsley hall on the 19th which was a
complete success as far as dancing and
general social time goes.

About the Kaln Makers.
The following petition has been
sented to the Hon. county court of
county :
' Wbebeas, There has been a failure of
crops to a great extent in Wasco county
for the last three years on account of
the lack of moisture, both in the earth
and in the air ; and
Whkbeas, There are parties who
profess to be able to produce rain by
artificial means at a small expense; and
Whereas, A good rain in the month
of May in Wasco county would be of in
calculable benefit to the whole county in
the increase of crops of wheat and other
grains aside from the benefits to be de
rived from such rains on the increase of
grass on the range etc. ; and
Whereas, The Interstate Artificial
Rain company of Goodland, Kansas, is
willing to enter into a contract with
parties to produce a rainfall in the
month of May A. D. 1892, said rainfall
to cover an area of not less than 10,000
square miles and to cause a precipita
tion of enough rain for all practical pur
poses at the aforesaid' test in the said
month of May 1892; and
Whereas, The aforesaid Interstate
Artificial Rain company agrees to make
artificial rain in the said month of May
1892 for the sum of. $750, and for the
further sum of $200 for the expenses
with the understanding "No rain no'
pay" ; and . '
Whereas, A good heavy rain in the
Month of May in Wasco county would
be a benefit to the whole county and the
expense of such test should not be borne
by a few, but by the public at large ; now
Therefore, We the undersigned, a
committee appointed by Columbia
Farmers' Alliance No. 1, composed of
farmers residents of ' Wasco county
would respectfully petition your honor
able body to make an appropriation of
as much as the aforesaid sum to meet
the expenses of said deal as your honor
able body thinks meet and just and
your petitioners will ever pray.

ered and it was ordered that E. L. Sharp
surveyor, Emil Schano, R. G. Closter,

and approved.
Bill of J . S. Francisco, for digging grave

peace, fees which had been laid over for
explanation, allowed.
The petition of Y. E. McCormick and
others, asking the county court to make
an appropriation for the employment of
the services of the '.'Interstate Artificial
Rain" company was considered. The
court did not think themselves justifi
able in appropriating any public funds
for experiments ; but thought that if the
said company would produce ' two
inches of rainfall in the months of May
or Vune it would be entirely willing to
make the appropriation. Parties pres
ent offered to contribute from their pri
vate funds for an experiment.
The court theu adjourned until 8
o'clock p. m. to hear the citizens in rela
tion to assessment.
8 o'clock p.m. The court met and
conferred with citizens in relation to
levy of assessment.
It appearing that the county assessors
return of taxable property for the year,
after deducting the exemption and in
debtedness amounts to $2,660,036 and
that the state board has made an in
crease raising this amount to $2,942,908
and this board alter having consulted
citizens and taxpayers both in private
and at a public meeting called for that
purpose, the court has concluded that
the levy shall be made on the basis of
the county assessor's assessment
That for all county purposes we need
about $34,580 which could be raised by a
county levy of thirteen mills but on ac
count of the urgent need of more appro
priations for roads and bridges through
out the county we will levy an additional
two mills which will be used for roads
and bridges thus making the levy for all
purposes state school and general levy
25 mills. It is therefore ordered that
there be and there hereby is levied on
the basis of the county assessor's returns
the following tax towit :
For county purposes including roads
and bridges, 15 mills ; for state, as per
state levy, 5 mills ; for schools (regular)
5 mills. Making a total of 25 mills.

The petition of Seufert Brothers
A New Firm.
The East End has added another
handsome new store to its business
houses. The new candidates for com
mercial favors are Orchard &, Fisher,
both of whom have been well known
and respected citizens of this county
for years. The firm has opened in the
handsome new two-story frame building
just erected by J. L. Thompson on the
lot immediately west of the Diamond
Flouring mills. A visit to the store
found Messrs. Orchard & Fisher well
supplied with a general stock of grocer
ies, glassware, tinware, farm produce,
such as eggs, butter, bacon, potatoes,
etc., flour, mill feed, canned goods, tn-
baccoes, cigars, etc- Besides these the
new firm will keep a full supply of grain
and hay just as soon as they can be con
veniently procured and stored. The firm
makes a special feature of five, ten
and fifteen cent bargain counters where
a great variety of goods can be procured
at these prices that will cost more else
where. On the five-cent counter we
noticed handsome tin cups, pie plates,
cooky cutters, cream skimmers' funnels,
glass salts, tea strainers, potatoe mash
ers, tea stands, etc. On the ten cent
counter dippers, egg-beaters, strainer
ladles, cullenders, pudding pans, gauged
quart measures, nickle and glass salts,
water cups, match safes, vegetable
strainers, flesh forks, jelly moulds, etc.
On the fifteen cent counter, deep
pudding pans, sauce pans, quart milk
cans, spring balances, dust pans, syrup
pitchers, tracing machines, feather dust
ers, scoops and curry combs, besides
other things too numerous to mention.
We predict the bargain counters will be
come a popular feature of the store. A
stana in the middle ot the noor is
crowded with a handsome assortment of
crystal ware in sets or single pieces, be
sides tumblers, water pitchers, fruit
dishes, cuspidors and lamp chimneys
that the firm professes to sell "cheaper
than anybody." Mr. Orchard says the
motto of the firm is "Cash, quick sales,
small profits ' and square dealing."
These principles carried into effect
ought to make the business successful
and we hope they may.

Among the many changes that time
has made in this city .none is more
marked than that which has transformed
the East End from scattering residence
property into a large and increasing bus
iness center. One of the first to recog
nize the tread of affairs was S. L. Brooks
who purchased four lots, measuring 100
by 220 feet, of the old mint property and
erected thereon the substantial two story
brick building, with a ground area of
fifty by one hundred feet, now occupied,
as is the remainder of the lots mentioned,
by the subject of this sketch. When
the store was first opened by Brooks
and Beers it could hardly be said .there
was a business house within four blocks
of it, but the new firm calculated wisely
and they soon found themselves doing a
large and profitable trade especially at
those times of the year when the' busi
ness in the adjoiniag warehouses is
greatest. A year ago Mr. Brooks sold
out his interest to R. E. Williams and
the style of the firm was changed from
Brooks & Beers to The Dalles Merchan
tile company, G. F. Beers remaining as
senior member ef the firm. With this
change some new departments were
added until today this great Farmers'
Emporium contains nearly everything
usually required on a farm or in a farm
house, the larger kinds of farming ma
chinery perhaps alone excepted. The
Dalles Merchantile company's store is
no toy shop, as one who takes the
trouble to walk through it can see at a
glance. Everything in and about the
place bears the stamp of solidity. Huge
piles of groceries, dry goods, gent's fur
nishing goods, boots and shoes, bats and
caps, shelf hardware, tinware, farming
tools, crockery and glass ware, farm
produce of all kinds including bacon,
lard, grain, mill feed, hay, vegetables,
cheese, butter, eggs, etc. Our attention
was particularly called to an immense
stock of cases of dried peaches and prunes
bearing the well known brands of W. H.
Wilson and C. E. Chrisman, fruits that
Mr. Williams assured the writer, were
of such excellent quality that they bad
driven the California article out of the
market. The firm claims to make a
specialty of fine teas which they import
direct from the foreign market and of
which they constantly keep a larger and
finer variety than perhaps any other
house In the city. These and their im
mense stock of groceries of every grade
and variety make the house second to
none as a place where farmers and slock
men can purchase their supplies. There
is one feature connected with the busi
ness of The Dalles Merchantile company
that perhaps as much as any other has
rendered the house deservingly popular.
If we mistake not the old firm was the
first to inaugurate the system of famish
ing free stalls and an enclosed yard for
the accomodation of farmer's and freight
er's teams. No less than 28 stalls, af
fording shelter and racks for 56 head of
horses have been built and stand open
at all hours for the accomodation of the
public. By this means many a dollar is
saved to the farmer who can bring his
own feed with him or purchase it on the
ground in quantities to suit at current
market rates. A barn 30 by 70 feet at
the back of the yard is filled with baled
hay from floor to ridge. In another cor
ner of the yard is a shed about twenty
feet in length with a table extending
the whole way and a stove in the mii'.dle
of the floor. This is for the convenience
of farmers and freighters who desire to
do their own cooking instead of buying
their meals at a resturant and all these
conveniences, yearly appreciated by
thousands, are without money and with
out price. It is these features that com
bine to make this store the farmer's
favorite trading place. Whether the
farmer desires to sell his own produce
or purchase supplies he is equally at
home at this store. Of the character of
the men who conduct the business we
can truthfully say as we do in all sin
cerity that no more honest men ever
dealt out goods from behind a counter, j
If they have any different character it is
unknown to those among whom they
have dwelt and with whom they have
done business for more than half a score
of years. It is not surprising therefore
that they are constantly proving by a
constantly increasing trade, that whether
in business or in the private relations of
life, honesty, in the long run, is always
the best policy.
