ber very many.
' Mr. Brooks was up to the messhouse
yesterday and says the water is about
two feet above the top of the 60-foot
water guage. The river here registers at
23 feet, which shows a remarkable differ
ence between the two places
up today. Three from the office were in
the play last night and the preceding re
hearsing caused a loss of sleep . that
accounts for heavy eyelids. This his
trionic life isn't all attraction.
Jackson Engine company will give t
' fitting end to the Fourth. Arrange
ments for their ball are nearly com
pie ted, imd it promises to be a very en
jorable and successful affair. Good

compoae the committee the day will be a
grand success

The fishing season so far is not a shin
ing success. Persons . who know say
there are plenty of fish in the river, but
the water is so clear that they do not
run amuck the wheels, and consequently
none are caoght. A big rain to help the
crops and' muddy the river would be
just the thing.

The warehouse of Jt. M. Williams
Co. is being renovated and preparations
are being made to establish a hardware
department, in connection with their
already large store. This enterprising

Seventy-five dollars was raised in a short
time and many more people will doubt
less add their names. The matter was

of Mr. Sandoz, which was standing at
the west end of Second street, took

Second street at a lightning speed. Just
in front of Tease & Mays' store they
made a carom on a telephone pole and
sheered to the other side of the street.
Nothing daunted they kept on till the
last seen of them they were hitting only
the high places by the brewery. The
wagon was considerably damaged, but
the horses were not injured. Mr. San
doz is getting good training for a sprinter,

race with his horses up the street. The
other runaway was about two weeks ago.

Joh n - Filloon - found , a ., dollar . on the
street last night and picked it up intend
ing to bunt the owner. A closer exam
ination showed that no -one would be
very anxious to claim ownership, for. it
proved to be a counterfeit and not a very
good one at that. It was dated in 1889
arid had a very bright look. The weight
was considerably heavier than the regu
lation dollar that is causing so. much
trouble these days and. the money has a
touch quite different from the regular
coin. The chances are pretty good that
Mr. Filloon can keep his find as long as
he wants to.
The militia boys, under command of
Captain Chrisman, drilled upon the

Deputy Clerk Simeon Bolton received
letter , from Goldendale this morning
saying that Matthew McEwan, an old
resident of Klickitat county, committed
suicide yesterday morning by shooting
himself through the heart with a Win
Chester. The deed was done about
o'clock in the morning, and the body
was discovered by his wife and daugh
ter. . ,ine tuiciae was about e&. years
old, and was a man of wealth and
prominence. He left a note upon
wnicn was written: "What was com
mitted in Utah I could not help any more
than a five year boy. Circumstances
surrounded me so I could not kept it,
He lived on the outskirts of Goldendale
and had a famfly of three sons aud five
daughters. No reason other than that
hinted at' in the note can be assigned for
the act. .

means for the" best advertising .of' the besn practicing assiduously and ' an ex
tlmewe are going to have. The' gentle- citing game may be expected- As this
men who had beerr canvassing' the' town lathe first' game of the season a large
reported excellent success' and that I crowd should be in attendance.' The
Mr. J. H. Sherar showed this office
yesterday the honor of a call and with
him brought some pictures of the new
road he has just finished up the Currant
creek grade. The views were taken by
an Antelope photographer and shows
the road from the beginning of the hili
to a point two miles from the top. In
one place were seen a lot of Indians
blasting out a - portion of . the ' grade,
while at a point farther down the hill
stood Mr. Sherar's team and horses,
The country on every hand was wild and
ragged and the hills or mountains
rather very high. It can easily be told
the road is splendidly built and the
grade very easy. The solid foundation
ot rocs at almost every point promises
years of "usefulness for the construction
and travel will have a tendency to im
prove rather than deteriorate the road.
The total cost has been over 42300,
$1000 of which Mr. Sherar has himself
borne. The county court has appro
priated altogether $800 at one time $500
and at another $300 and a better invest
ment could not have been made. The
business men of The Dalles raised $600
and gave it to Mr. Sherar, while con
tributions were made by Antelope and
other places along the line. Mr. Sherar
has justly earned the title of Wasco
county's "first citizen."
The Street Comnaisaioaer.
To the Editor : The article in Mon
day's Crboniclx, regarding the street
commissioner, while doubtless not in
tended in anyway personal to Mr. Butts,
conveyed an impression which might do
him an injustice. . The road through
Thompson's addition does not lie within
the city , limits, ..although ; possibly, it
sbonld, and the street commissioner is
powerless to improve it. The brewery
grade does not seem to-be in a bad con
dition, and while it is true our sidewalks
are not in good repair, the fanltlies with
the property owners. . Our present com
missioner has endeavored to do his duty
and worked to the best of his ability to
keep our city in good repair.

Williams, Orion Kinersly and M. T.
Nolan. ' Joseph T. Peters was nuavoid
edly detained in Portland by business
and Hon. Robt. Mays was unable to
Kome in from tbe country. After some
routine business Mr. Nolan moved that
a dividend of 10 per cent, be declared
upon all capital stock. Mr. Glenn sec
onded tbe motion ani H .passed unan
imously; .. .
The capital stock is $39,000 and a 10
per cent., dividend will divide $3,800
among the stockholders. We doubt if
there is another transportation company
west of the Rocky mountains that will
declare a dividend this year and we do
not think there one in -the United
States that will declare a 10 per cent. one.
