Bends in word that a meeting of the

The American Automatic Lighting
system of lighting, known as the New
Sight, has been adopted by VanBibber
and Worseley, the well-known grocers.
to illuminate their store, with results
exceedingly satisfactory. The store was
lighted for the first time last evening by
this system, and the lights can be seen
any evening. The new system has many
obvious merits and the light has
come to stay. It will be viewed with in
terest by the owners of stores, halls and
all business places where the cost of
lighting is an important item in the
running expenses.
Over 100 of the members and friends
of the Christian church gave their. pas
tor, Rev. I. H. Hazel and wile, a recep-
tion last evening at the church. It was
a complete surprise to them, arrange
ments having been quietly made by the
ladies of the church. The evening was
spent in various engagements, including
music, instrumental and vocal, and reci
tations. A bounteous lunch was served
and all felt happier and better by being
there. Mr. Hazel responded with
short talk, thanking bis many friends
for the kindness shown him and his.
While he appreciated the good will of
the people, he felt that be was unworthy
of so much demonstration.
Eight deeds came in a bunch to the
connty clerk's office today. The grantee
in each of them was the Hood River
Lumber Company and the grantors
Davis Divers, Van Johnson, Charles A.
Ross, T. R. Coon and Delia M. Coon, J
N. Reynolds, James English and Oliver
English, Peter Nesson, Louisa F. Reed
These deeds were given by owners of
property along the banks of Hood river
to enable the lumber company to make
the improvements contemplated when
the recent lease was entered into with
the county court and that body declared
the stream a .public highway. The im
proyement of Hood river and the build
ing of the dam, it wonld seem, should
result in much benefit, both to the sec
tion of county through which the stream
passes and the growing town at its
mouth. What Hood River, as other
towns similarly situated, needs is the
investment of outside capital, and we
are informed that this is the case in the
project which the lumber company is
undertaking.

The running of ica in the river last
month caused a good deal of inconveni
ence and damage to the fishing interests.
Some of those who were fishing for stur
geon had their lines swept away by the
ice and considerable time was spent in
regaining them.
Among the visitors in town yesterday
was Hon. D. R. Murphy of Portland,
who occupies the position of United
States district attorney for Oregon. Mr.
Murphy was on his way home from
Sherman county, where he bad been,
presumably, on governmenbusiness,
the ' nature of which could not be
be learned, however.
Mr. AUaway,. manager of the D. P. &
A. N. Co., fl about to issue a circular
calling attention to the fact of free stor
age of wool in the new warehouse. Also
that an arrangement has been perfected
between the boat company and Mr.
Moody whereby the latter will put in a
baler at the warehouse, which will be
under his supervision.
Many people called at the new candy
factory yesterday, and could not' get the
favorite Marsh mellow taffy and Carbon
ated peanut bars. W. J. Moore wishes
to announce that he has just received
new supplies for manufacturing all kinds
of candies, and that yon may have any
thing in his line that a lover of sweets
may wish for. Call and see his goods.
Mrs. F. H. Rowe has recently fallen
heir to a large California estate, and Mr.
Rowe has gone thither in her interest.
Mr. and Mrs. Rowe resided in The Dalles
up till a short time ago, but removed to
Stevenson to be nearer the saw mill,
where Mr. Rowe has large lumbering in
terests. According to the Pioneer, Mrs.
Rowe's share in the estate is $909,000.
The funeral of J. F. Eastern, who died
at Dufur on Saturday, occurred this
morning. He was one of Dufur's most
respected young men, a long-time resi
dent, and prominent in social and fra
ternal circles. The Woodmen, of which
society he was an honored member, offi
cered at the burial services. A large
number of the Woodmen of this city left
this morning to be present.
A special school election was held at
Mosier on the 35th inst, resulting in the
selection of Michael Dichtenmuller to
fill the unexpired term of Hill Hunter,
deceased. Mr. Dichtenmuller is a well
known patron of the public schools in that
neighborhood, having some years ago
given an acre of ground to the district
for a school house site. This plot is
centrally located, has a fine spring, and
makes one of the handsomest sites for a
school building that could have been
fouud in that country.
The meeting of representatives of Re
publican clubs throughout the state will
be held in Portland tomorrow. Much
enthusiasm is manifested and a large at
tendance will inevitably result. The
prevailing opinion seems to be that Re
publicans never had a better chance for
success, and naturally all are interested
in men and methods. Many represen
tatives from the country precincts were
to be seen on our streets this morning
and the previous evening, and it is an
assured fact that Eastern Oregon will
have no inconsiderable voice at the Port
land meeting.

William DeWolf died this morning
after a lingering illness of several
months. Deceased was a single man
and the sole support of his mother and
sister, who will feel the loss in a double
sense. Mr. DeWolf has been a fireman
on the road for several years. About
four months ago he was taken ill and
later went to the hospital in Portland
He came home no better, and the end
came at a ' o clock this morning. A
funeral notice appears elsewhere in this
paper.
The street parade of the "Uncle Josh
Spruceby" troupe was witnessed by
hundreds of citizens todav. The antics
of the star and members of the troupe,
as well as their unconventional attire,
was quite laughable. The troupe car

THE DALLES COMMISSION CO
A. New Enterprise and a Promising
Field for Business.
Another cherished dream of The
Dalles is about to be realized. Articles
of incorporation were filed in the clerk's
office today by The Dalles Commission
Co., who will soon operate a cold stor
age warehouse. The wording of the
document as to the intents of the com
pany is to buy, sell, and deal in coal,
wood, ice, fish, meats fruits, vegetables
and produce; to buv, own, lease and
operate a cold storage warehouse; to
conduct a general storage and commis
sion business; and to buy, sell, leaee
and rent real estate. The capital stock is
placed at $3,000 and the shares are $200
each.
This company enters a new and prom
ising field for business in this city. Be
sides the possibilities of benefit expect
ed of a well-conducted commission
business, the purpose of the company
to operate a cold storage wi'.I not fail
to be appreciated by the toilers in
the varied field of production. The
season for perishables is thus vir
tually lengthened and makes it possible
for the farmer, the orcbardist and the
fisherman to await a better price for his
produce. The place of business of the
company will be the old chronicle
building, which will soon be fitted up
for the purpose.
The city council luxuriated last even
ing in all the delights of a hall newly
papered all for $7.60. the bill for which
was allowed later on with great manifes
tation of joy and satisfaction.
The roll-call showed Mayor Menefee
and Conncilinen Thompson, Eshelman,
Wood, Lauer, Nolan and Saltmarshe and
Marshal Blakeney to be present.
The first business was a petition from
Otto Birgfeld to sell liquors. Owing to
an irregularity in the matter of a time
limit, it was laid on the table.
Next was a petition of Joseph D.
Grant of San Francisco, through M. A.
Moody, agent, for proper title to certain
holdings within the city Muails owned
by Grant. Referred to committee on
judiciary.
Petition of Florence M. Goss for legal
ly correct deeds from Dalles City.
Prayer of petitioner granted.
A circular was then read from the
mayor of ban rrancisco requesting
friendly action toward the Nicaragua
canal. Councilman Thompson created
a laugh by moving to refer it to the
Commercial Club, and the circular went
nnder the table.
Councilman Eshelman read a letter
from Dr. Snedaker asking for the re-is
suance of a $j warrant, which he had
accidentally burned. A discussion was
precipitated as to how the city could do
it without danger of costing more than
$3, but the matter was amicably settled
by requiring Dr. Snedaker to assure the
city he would repay the amount of the
original warrant if it was ever present
ed, and a duplicate will therefore be issued.
The reports of the treasurer, marshal
and recorder, were then read, the treas
urer's report showing $6,272.75 of city
funds in the treasury at time of report.
The acceptance of the reports included
an order that warrants be drawn- for
labor, as specified in marshal's report.
Mr. B. S. Huntington appeared in his
owe behalf and that of several neighbors,
asking that the council order the open
ing of an alleyway back of his house, ex
tending through the block. Referred.
Councilman Eshelman called atten-
tion to a request from the G. A. R. for
the city to furnish them the nee of a
lot npon which to build a small bouse
for the use of Mrs. Crane, an unfortu
nate, but deserving wife of a comrade,
who has a large family of small children.
Referred to committee on health and
police, with power to act.
Councilman Nolan opened np a sub
ject of universal interest by stating that
the Commercial Club is agitating the
subject of a celebration at the time of
the formal opening of the locks. Mr.
Nolan was pronouncedly of opinion that
this .city should be foremost in the list
of celebrators that the .opening of the
locks was the culmination of he hopes
and fears of our citizens tor over twenty
years; that The Dalles will be most
benefitted of all townB on the river, and
that Vancouver, Astoria and this point
should unite in making it a gala day.
The speaker was warmly seconded by
Councilman Eshelman, resulting in a
motion being carried that the mayor and
recorder euler into correspondence with
the places named in relation to .the
matter.
Councilman Lauer called the atten.
tion of the council to the erection of a
small building on Mill creek bottom.
which was in the street. No definite
action was taken regarding it.
Council then adjourned.

Tired of Restraint.
Mrs. F. Zirka called at the sheriffs
office yesterday to induce him to bring
back a runaway boy, who was last heard
from at Motder. Jim is 11 years old, an
incorrigible who attended school here
in a very desultory manner the choice
being the school or taking care of some
smaller brothers and sisters, while his
mother helped to replenish the flour
barrel by the various methods open
her. But Jim, tired of both pursuits
believed he could do better by pursuing
his own way in life, unhindered by an
impertinent maternal solicitude. He
wanted 'to work a while until he saved
up a thousand dollars and then retire on
an income. Consequently he trudged
off toward Portland last week and got
as far as Mosier, where he was held by a
family at that place until his folks
could be heard from. The sheriff ia in
