George Runyon's boy, 10 years old,
proved himself a hero the other night,,
when a burglar tried to enter the house.
The boy awoke by the noise of a window
being very cautiously raised, and in
stead of shouting to his papa or pulling
the clothes over his head, made a break
for the closet, where the gun was. The
burglar became alarmed and fled in the
darkness, but if JVIaster Runyan had got
a bead on the prowler he would cer
tainly have been shot.

A very pleasant party was given the
young folks of the M. E. church by Mrs.

able and entertaining games were
played and a nice lunch served and the

Mr. Otto Kohler has reached New
Brighton, Minn., with a trainload of
sheep and intends to feed them for about
sixty days on wheat screenings. They
are feeding about 4,500 head of sheep
there, mostly Montana sheep. Mr.
Kohler writes that the weather is very
cold and windy there and that it is really
not very pleasant for an Oregonian to
experience a cold wind of forty miles an
hour.
Work commenced this morning on the
bowling alley of the Commercial Club.
This healthful diversion of most an
cient origin; is yet and will undoubtedly
forever be a permanent favorite. The old
time sport is immortalized in "Rip Van
Winkle," by the jolly dreamland com
panions of that hero occupying the great
er share of his twenty years' sleep in that
pastime. The bowling alley will com
plete the most 'thoroughly-equipped
gymnasium in the Northwest, if all re
ports are true.
A great many religiouBly-inclined stat
isticians are figuring it out that the end
of the world will come in May, and Rev,
Hazel, who has taken up the interpreta
tion of the prophecies leading to this
interesting event, announces that he
will not be through before August,
However, considering the thousand
years of the millenium, Mr. Hazel's au
dience might be induced to extend his
time, if he would promise to get through
in two or three hundred years.
The graves of the defenseless dead are
being robbed of the loving tiibutes of
the livicg at the Odd Fellows' cemetery,
and a committee appointed by tnat
order is authorized to offer a reward for
information leading to the conviction of
anyone caught stealing flowers from the
graves. Shameful and disgraceful are
words hardly fitting the total depravity
of the individual who traduces human
kind by such an act. The bare neces
sity ot publishing this item, acknowledg
ing in Dublic the existence of some one
who robs graves of flowers, is demoralize
ing to human nature.

this (Tuesday) evening at 8 o'clock p. m.
All interested are requested to be pres

The Walla Walla Statesman takes the
same stand as The Chronicle on the
question of the city buying a chemical
engine, and eavs: "If our business

lower insurance rates, they should chip
in and buy it."
Mr. W. S. Holt of Portland will lec
ture tonight at the Congregational
church on China and its customs, illus
trating it with fine stereopticon views
taken by himself while residing in that
country. This is a lecture of the winter
course at that church and will be most
interesting.
Mr. F. C. Sexton of Antelope valley
went to Portland on the Regulator this
morning with a living curiosity in the
shape of a curly-haired horse, a freak of
nature produced in that country. It
was a rich chestnut in color and was a
very pretty animal, the light shining
and glistening on the closely-woven
curls, making a very handsome effect.
It has come to the attention of the
Rod and Gun club that parties are fish
ing for trout in different parts of the
county. As the club cheerfully com
plies with the provisions of the law pro
hibiting trout fishing until April 1st,
they announce their determination to
prosecute anyone who is . apprehended
breaking the statutes,
Governor Lord, yesterday appointed
Hon. Charles Hilton of The Dalles a
member of the Board of Regents of the
University of Oregon, to fill the unex
pired term of S. P. Sturgis, deceased,
which will end April 15, 1905. The ap
pointment of Mr. Hilton will give uni
versal satisfaction in The Dalles and
throughout Eastern Oregon, wherever
Mr. Hilton is known.
Train No. 23, a through freight which
passed this point yesterday bound east,
was wrecked last evening near Camilla,
the other side of Umatilla. The acci
dent occured at a trestle, which was par
tially burned and rendered unsafe. The
locomotive crossed in safety, but the five
cars following, loaded with merchandise,
went down and were consumed, with the
bridge, by fire. No one was hurt.
Taxes Nearly Dae.
The tax roll is' about completedand
will be placed in the hands of the sheriff
for collection tomorrow. The law pro
vides that the roll shall be completed by
the county clerk by March 1st, but Mr.
Kelsay is oftener a little ahead than be
hind J.ime. A glance over it showed it
to be of unusual excellence, as regards
descriptions, so much so that the data
from it would be sufficient to convey
title, without legal aid. Taxpayers will
all be notified within three or four days
of the amount of their taxes, which cay
be remitted by mail, in case the payAr
has not the time or inclination to make
a trip to town for the purpose. Taxes
will become delinquent by April 1st,
and a disposition is apparent this year'
not to extend the time.

URGING ON THE WORK.
The Dalles ' Commercial Club, mud the
. Cagce j,oeka. ""
The Commercial Club was called to
order at 8 o'clock last evening atthe
club rooms by President J. S Schenck,
who stated the object of the meeting to
be to hear the report of the delegates
sent to .Cascade Locks an February 11th,
and take suitable action thereon. There
upon Mr. A. S. Mac Allister, chairman
of the committee, presented a report,
clear in expression, complete in detail.
exhaustive in information, and alto
getber a careful and painstaking paper,
embodying as well a resolution, the
wisdom of which was made apparent by
being adopted by the club without op
position.
The report, which is quite lengtl -
stated that "on Feb. 11th the committca
met J. H. D. Gray, of the Astoria Cham
ber of Commerce, and James Crawford, of
the Vancouver Board of Trade, and to'
gether called on Messrs. Day and Lieut.
Taylor. '. They came to the following
conclusions : That the contract work
will be completed by March 1st; that
the bulkheads at the upper and lower
ends of the canal will be removed so as
to allow the passage of boats within six
weeks ;' that it is uncertain if the locks
can be successfully operated without ad
ditional work be done in the middle
locks, in which there is no way to pre'
vent the loose rock and dirt from wash'
ing down, and thereby interfering with
the operation of the lower gate by chok
ing the valves. If this should happen,
the operation of the locks would be sub
pended until such time as suitable walls
could be built to prevent such a condi
tion.
"Lieut. Taylor, in explanation to the
committee, said that the examination of
the character of the rock was originally
made by boring, and that it was thought
the rock was of sufficient firmness, but
since the excavation it was found that
it slacks when exposed to the air, mak
ing it necessary to protect the banks
with concrete work and masonry on
both sides. The concrete work could be
put in at an estimated expense of $6,-
000, which would be sufficient to protect
the locks and gates until masonry could
be put in.
Still another important feature is
the protection of the locks, which are
now endangered by any ordinary high
water. It was recommended by the en
gineers to the special session of congress
of last year that a further appropriati.n
of $413,000 be made by congress to rip
rap the entire north bank of the river
between that and the locks, setting forth
that any ordinary high water is likely to
wear away the bank, composed of loose
rock and dirt, and sweep away the labor
ot years. That ot this amount $179,597
could be profitably expended during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1897. That
there is an unexpected balance of $3,
893.90, which with the 413,000, would be
sufficient to make the locks durable
forever."
In conclusion the committee offered
the following resolution :
"Resolved, That we the Commercial
club of The Dalles, Oregon; an organiza
tion composed of business men, repre
senting every interest and Bocial faith,
believing in the importance of this great
work and the necessity of its early com
pletion, join and invite the co-operstion
of all the chambers of commerce, boards
of trade and commercial clubs of the
states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho
in a memorial to congress, and urge
through our senators and representatives
the immediate appropriation of at least
$179,597 asked for by the chief of en
gineers, and that it be made available
and at once, and .that a committee of
five members be appointed to carry out
the objects of this resolutien."
A. S. Mac Allister,
Emil Schanno.
"What will you do with' the commit
tee's report, gentlemen?" asked Presi-
ident Schenck.
Mr. Whealdon promptly moved that
the report be received and placed on file
and that the resolution be adopted. The
motion carried.
The memorial to congress by the As
toria chamber of commerce was then
read. This memorial calls attention to
the uncertainty of the opening of the
locks, that agricultural, horticultural,
wool, lumber and transportation inter
ests are involved, involving the loss of
thousands of dollars daily, and urges the
urgent need of the appropriation of
$179,597, which can profitably be ex
pended for the fiscal year ending June
30th, 1897.
This led to a general discussion, par
ticipated in by Messrs. Bradshaw,
Whealdon, Mac Allister, Laughhn and
Schanno. Mr. Bradshaw believed that
in the light of the report it was import
ant to do the work at once for which
$6,000 estimate was made, and that the
amount should be secured with the least
possible delay . He believed that a com
mittee representing The Dalles Commer
cial Club should write to our Benators
aad congressmen to ascertain if $6,000,
$8,000 or $10,000, could not be secured
from congress at once by tacking it to
the general appropriation bill ; and that
the request be backed by the commer
cial clubs, boards of trade, etc., of the
entire Northwest. He urged all possi
ble haste, and that the ' letters to the
congressmen be eent at once, so that if
the amount could not be secured by con
gress, other suitable action could be
taken immediately to open the locks for
traffic. These remarks he embodied in
a motion that a committee, of five be ap
pointed for such purpose.
Speaking to the motion, Mr. Schanno
said - Capt. Gray assured him Astoria
would alone raise half the amount re
quired to wall the canal with cement be'
tween the upper and lower locks, if the
amount had to be raised by substription
1 he motion carried, and the commit
tee appointed were Messrs. Bradshaw,
Whealdon, Mac Allister,. Laughlin and
Schanno. This committee will assemble
at 3 s'clock this afternoon at the club
rooms to formulate definite and prompt
action.
Mr. Mac Allister again called atten
tion to the danger of the whole works
being destroyed by high water, and be
lieved no time should be lost in securing
an appropriation of the amount that
could be expected during the fiscal year
$179,587. The work should be going on
now, and the telegraph should be
used if necessary, to urge the importance
of this work of protection. This matter
will also be considered by the committee
at the meeting today.
Republican Central Committee Meeting;.
The meeting of the Republican county
convention was called to order at 1:30
this afternoon by Chairman J. M. Pat
terson. The first business before the
committee was choosing the time for
holding the county convention. On
motion of Mr. B. S. Huntington the
date was set for March 28th at 10 o'clock
a. m. The motion was seconded by Mr.
C. E. Bayard and unanimously carried.
Mr. Bayard also moved that the time
for holding the primaries be fixed at
Saturday, March 21st. It was also de
cided that the time for holding the pri
maries' outside the city be fixed at 2

Thirty-five Conversion!.
A Fairfield correspondent, a locality
on Dutch Flat, speaks of the beautiful
sunshine, etc., and continues:
But sunshine, and good weather and
bright hopes are not all that the people
of Fairview' have been blessed with in
the past ten days, for the majority of
them, young and old, have been blessed
p.th sunshine in their souls and now
! -ve bright prospects of a glorious re
ward which is promised to all who will
follow the precepts of their blessed Re
deemer. Religions meetings have been
carried on for ten days under the direc
tion of the Holy Spirit, and through
Mr. and Mrs. Wilder, three members of
the Salyation Army, Joseph Miens and
many other Christians, and the result
has been that some thirty-five sought
mercy from the living God. An eye
witness speaking of it, said surely this
is a miracle. "In the last days I will
pour out my spirit npon all flesh," say-
eth the Lord.

A Memorial to Congress.
The committee of the Commercial
Club, consisting of Messrs. Bradshaw,
Mac Allister, Schanno, Laughlin and
Whealdon, met Saturday afternoon and
formulated the following memorial to be
presented to the present congress at once :
To the Honorable Senate and House of Represen
tatives in Congress assembled at Washington,
1). C, U. 8. A.
Your memorialist, The Dalles Com
mercial Club, of The Dalles, state of
Oregon, through our senators, Hon.
John H. Mitchell and George W. Mc
Bride and our representatives, Hon.
Dinger Hermann and W. R. Ellis, re
spectfully represent that from the best
information we have been able to secure
the date of the opening of the cascade
locks of the Columbia river, to naviga
tion, is still a matter of doubt and un
certainty. Large agricultural, horticultural, wool,
lumber and transportation interests are
-involved, and we believe thousands of
dollars daily will be realized by the in
habitants ot the Columbia basin as soon
as this great work is made operative,
and the transportation companies can
depend on passing their steamboats
from' the lower to the middle Columbia.
Therefore, your memorialist desire to
urge upon the attention of your honor
able body and pray that you will con
sider favorably :
First, The urgent need of the appro
priation of $179,597 asked for by the
chief of engineers of the U. S. A.
whose report for 1895 says, "and can be
profitably expended in the fiscal year, .
ending June 30, A. D., 1897," to con
struct the walls between the first and
second locks of the canal, and to protect
from the powerful force of the tails the
breaking ot the outer walls of the lock
by erosion. ,
Second : The importance of continu
ing an organized body of mechanics and
artisans, who can economically and ex
peditiously complete the work, also the
expense of bousing and replacing the
huge plant required.
Third: The great loss to commerce
should the locks remain closed for an
other year by reason of a few weeks de
lay in mating this appropriation-foe
which we will ever pray.
