AYER'S
A PREACHER'S EXPERIENCE.
"Three months ago, I took a vio
lent cold which resulted in an attack
of acute bAnchitis. I put myself
under medical treatment, and at the
nd of two months was no better.
I found it very difficult to preach,
and concluded to try Ayer's Cherry
ryh 1 it
Pectoral. The first bottle pave me
great relief ; the second, which I am
now taking, has relieved me almost
entirely of all unpleasant symptoms,
and I feel sure that one or two bot
tles more will effect a permanent
cure. To all ministers suffering from
throat troubles, I recommend Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral." E. M. Brawley,

feet long and 2p feet wide. How many
feet is it from one of the lower corners
to an opposite upper corner?" Mr.
Shelley says he won't work at that until
he knows the height of the room, and
the teachers wonder what sort of a room
it was the fellow was in who formulated
that question. The reporter gives it up.

LEAP rtAR PARTY.
Little
Event
The teachers applying for certificates
Defore the county school superintendent
. will conclude their labors about 4 or 5
o'clock this afternoon. The several pa-
' pers will then be passed upon, and cer
ificates granted, according to their ex
cellence or lack of it, by the superintend
ent. This work will hardly be finished
before Tuesday, as it involves a great
amount of labor. There are ten studies,
and ten questions in each study. There
being twenty-eight applicants, tbis
means 2,800 answers to be examined.
Really there are about 4,000 answers to
look over, for many questions are sub
divided and require separate answers. -.,
The ten studies are as follows; 7 Or
thography,' reading, writing, geography,
written arithmetic, mental arithmetic,
grammar, history, physiology, theory
and practice. The questions upon arith
metic are conceded to be more difficult
than an other study and are certain to
greatly lower the average. Toere are
few having a collegiate education who
could answer them, after leaving the
walls of a college a year or two. For in
stance question No. 5, which involves
the remembrance of a certain formula:
"Find the diameter of a circular island
containing five square miles." Question
the Most Enjoyable
Eier Remembered.
The crowning event in a successful
social season came last night, when the
young ladies of The Dalles tendered
their , gentlemen friends a leap
year party at the Baldwin. For days
previous the coming affair had been the
topic of talk in society circles, and the
devotees of pleasure- were quite agog
with anticipation. When , fro in the
corner where the orcnestra was seated
floated the strains of the "Ben Hur
March," the scene was a brilliant one.
The hall, under the touch of deft
fingers, had undergone a transformation.
From the ceiling stretched long stream
ers in graceful arrangement, wnne a
profusion of palms and flowers, kindly
donated by Mrs. Stubling, and placed in
pleasing effect, made the elegance of dec
oration complete.
Promptly at 9 o'clock the grand march
began, led by Miss Moore and Miss
Newman, and the figares it contained
were new and 'graceful. At its conclu
sion the lancers were aanceu, ana me
young gentlemen being escorted to their
seats by their fair companions, the nov
elty of a leap year party began. The
usual order was reversed and the gen
tlemen sat around the .wall, their hearts
beating fast with hope, then slower with
doubt, lest their company for the next
dance should not' be sought. The
ladies, out . of the goodness of their
hearts, watched carefully for the pleas
ure of their guests, and the walls were
undecorated by any living flowers
At 11 o'clock supper was announced
in an adioinmg room, ana ironr that
time till the close of the dance Mr,
Kellar had his hands more-, tlifn full
providing for the wants of .his guests
He did it in a manner that won him the
lasting good will of the ladies and the
recipients of their hospitality:
Lack of space forbids a detailed men
tion of this most-charming event. The
novelty of the occasion was greatly en
joyed by all the participants arid when
ever the gentlemen had an opportunity
of conversing with one another it was to
the effect that this was the jolliest dance
they had ever attended. In the corner
where the lemonade stand was placed,
frequent toasts were drunk to The Dalles
youngJadies, who it was declared again
and again were the nicest girls in all the
world, and if this statement is doubted
its truth can be determined by asking
any gentleman to whom was given
the pleasure of being present last
night. Were a vote to be taken
among their friends, sometimes
called the sterner sex, it would be un
animously decided that the beauty, vir
tues and accomplishments of The Dalles
young ladies could not be surpassed
though the world were arrayed against
them. And in the praise that is due, a
large share must go to the married
ladies, who by counsel and presence
aided much in making the dance of last
night what it was, the most charming
event in the social history of tThe Dalies
within the memory of this generation.
The reception committee was composed
of Mrs. G. C. Blakeley, Mrs. Chas. Hil
ton, Mrs. J. A. Crossen and Mrs. J. T
Peters. Miss Annie Moore and Miss
Newman comprised the floor committee.
A complete list of those present it was

A it Seem to Mr. Parker.
Editor Dalles Chboniclk:
If it is in order, and you will give
space, we will say our say in regard to
the county court granting the Hood
River Lumbering Co. a monopoly of
Hood river. For a monopoly it is, and
one of the most complete we ever heard
of. i This we propose to show by figures
that cannot be controverted.
We take the rates or tolls the said
company is allowed to charge for trans
porting logs, etc., as per contract be
tween said company and the county
court. First, saw logs delivered at
Hood River will cost, say, for a run of
twenty-four miles, $5 per thousand feet.
This is for floating and .booming. Of
course the entire cost would be $7.50 xr
$8 per . thousand, including the cutting
and hnuling to river bank. 'Second,
piling, telephone, telegraph poles for a
run of twenty-four miles fromup the
river. Piling or a pole tnirty teet long
would cost, delivered in the boom, $3, or
10 cents per lineal foot. This is exclu
sive of the cutting, peeling and hauling'
to the river bank. Market price is 8
cent per lineal foot delivered on the rail
road. Third, cordwood, say same dis
tance as above, would Cost per cord, de
livered in the boom :
Floating and booming fl 95
Cutting 1 00
Hanling to river bank 50
Hatiling from botm and loading on
cars 35
Total $3 80
Wood is worth.jon board cars at Hood
River, from $2 to $2.25. Fourth, fence
posts would cobt, delivered ifl the boom
at Hood River, 8 cents each, lust for
-floating and booming, to say nothing
about the making and hauling to river
bank. And they are worth 4)4 .to 5
ceuts each delivered on board care at
Hood River. , .
It in ay be said twenty-four miles is
not a fair average distance, but there is
not much good timber short of twenty
four miles up the river. But we will
estimate tho nearest timber, and see
how the account will stand. I live
three miles up the river and have 2.000
cords of wood, at a low estimate. Of
course it is standing in the tree, and it
is so situated it ought to be run down
the river when it is marketed.
Cutting one cord $1 00
Hauling to liver 50
Floating three miles 35
Booming 40
Hauling from boom and loading on
cars 6a
If the county can appropriate Hood
river and in that way become possessed
of a valuable franchise, why not sell to
the highest bidder and let' the entire
people of the county receive the benefit.
The company have already had an offer
of $20,000 for the franchise, but seem to
think it worth more or they would have
sold it. If the company wanted the
lease for Speculative purposes the con
tract could not have been worded much
better. t
They are not bound to make any
definite or certain inprovements. The
company are their own judges as to the
improvements they shall make to entitle
them to charge toll, therefore can hold
the river for years at a nominal' cost.
No wonder Mr. Winans was anxious to
close the contract. He knew to delay
was dangerous. But why the court
acted with such celerity is one of the
things no man can find out. Had they
been drinking men that might account
for it, but the mostcharitableconclusion
is they are a lot of mollycoddles.
Now let us rise and thank God the air
we breathe is still free. -

The School (enumeration.
The school clerk is about half through
taking enumeration of school children.
He believes there will be alouta5per
cent increase of enumeration. The ratio
may be figured out by the following fig
ures of the number of sclini children
for the years named: IS92, 80S; 1893,
907; 1894, 1058; 1895, 1212. The more
children found and enumerated, the
better it is for the district. For each
child of school age, $5 of school money
per year is allowed the district, which is
taken from the state school fund.
There is also the 5 mill echool tax on
property in the county, to be used for
school purposes. Consequently the
more children there tre, the greater
should be the facilities for teaching
them, and Mr. Jacobsen has proved him
self very efficient in ferreting them all
out, and consequently entitling the dis
trict to its proper share of school money.

A Recommendation From Los Angeles.

After haying suffered for a longtime
from acute rheumatism without obtain-
ng relief, I used Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and was almost immediately rel

Druggist.
Total $2 60
And it is -worth, on board cars, $2 to
$2.25. Now, the company would get 75
cents out of every cord, and they would
be at an expense of 10 or 15 cents, and I
would lose from 35 to 60 cents on each
cord. It must be observed there is no
charge for timber or stum page in any of
these estimates.
There is not a man along this river
who can cut a saw-log, a pole or post, or
a stick of cordwood and float it down
the river to market outside of the com
pany. The company has a dead cinch
on every stick of timber that is tribu
tary to Hood river, from the mouth of
the river to Mount Hood (if this con
tract made between the-county court
and the Winans Bros, is valid), and vet
Mr. Blowers, one of the members of the
county court, said he was pleased.'and
favorably impressed with the scheme,
because it would make valuable a large
and almost endless forest of timbur trib
utary. Where the tickler comes in that
pleases him so, I do not know. We did
suppose the county court was a sort of
guardian of the public interests. Prob
ably this is an old fogy notion. Still
we must give Mr. Blowers credit for
thinking of the public, for he says wh&i
he met Mr. Winans in The Dalles and
Winans approached bim about the mat
ter, he advised Mr. Winans to go down
and see how they fell in regard to the
matter, knowing the propensity some of
our good citizens have for kicking. (Of
course we do kick against bad and
wicked things, saloons for instance)
Well he Bays Mr. Winans came down
and upon hie return he reported "every
one in favor of the project, and those
along the stream willing to sign away
their rights to the banks of the
river, etc."
If innocent Mark Twain had advised
or suggested such a thing it would have
been taken as a joke. What other kind
of a report could he expect Mr. Winans
to make? -.
I own one-half a mile of the river, but
did not see or hear of Mr. Winans at
that time and have not heard of any one
that did, Still he might have seen some
one, but if everybody was in favor of the
project, why all the rush ? Blowers says
Winans did not hand in his contract
until a very few minutes before court ad
journed, when he looked hurriedly over
it, but had no time to take action. But
afterwards informs the judge that he
could see no objections to the contract
and thought it all right.
1 suppose that section of the contract,
that section of grace, where it is ex
pressly understood that the conrt did
not sell our riparian rights, made it all
ngnt. mere might have been a ques
tion about deliveringthe goods if they
had. So probably this was a virtue of
necessity. ' '
I had understood Mr. Blowers was
willing to serve the people as county
judge or even serve the dear people in
the legislature, but now he says he is
not in in politics, and I don't think any
of the members of the court will be next
June so. far as Hood River is concerned.
The Regulator made the trip to Col
lins Landing yesterday without inci
dent. The machinery had been so per
fectly adjusted that nothing had to be
touched. The only business done was
carrying back about 10,000 feet of lum
ber. Monday the boat will resume her
regular trips. As soon as this faCt is
generally known between here and the
Cascades, numbers of people living along
the river will come to The Dalles for
supplies, make their purchases Tuesday
and ship them home by Regulator
Wednesday. Tbis is past experience and
amounts to a rule, in the same manner
as life insurance companies estimate
with absolute certainty how many peo
ple out of a thousand are going to die in
a year. They can't tell who it will be
but just so many have to go. It is an
acknowledged fact that the majority of
farmers' supplies used between The
Dalles and Cascade Locks are purchased
at The Dalles, and the resuming of the
boat's regular runs, means therefore an
immediate increase of business.

He writes to a friend here : "I fell from
a railroad trestle today at this place,
