gency clauses to put them into effect im

the merits or demerits of many of the

wisdom or unwiadoni which dictated the
defeat of other measures brought for

SHOULD BE LOOKED AFTER.
A City Road Which Is Madly In Need of
Improvement.
As often as some newspaper remarks
that "Spring has come, gentle Annie",
just so often does it become necessary to
remind the people that "the roads are in
a bad condition," and to endeavor to in
duce them to expend some time and
money in improving them.
While there is room for criticizing all
roads leading to the city, our atteution
has been directed to one in particular
which it used perhaps as much as any,
and certainly ia as much in need of im
provement as any could possibly be
We refer to what is termed the lower
Des Chutes road, leading to Seufert's, the
Floyd place and others. This highway
(or low way) lias long been an eye-sore
to the many who are compelled to travel
thereon. Of late the residents of tbat
road district have put in a great deal of
time improving that part bevond the
limits of the city, building sluice boxes,
and otherwise preventing the road being
washed out, until it is in a fairly good
condition.
It uow becomes the duty of the city
to do its part. The worst part of the
thoroughfare is between theWaeco ware
house and the city limits. As teams
start out of town they encounter a piece
of road the rockiness of which leads
them to think they are on the road to
Dublin ; bnt more annoying still is the
deep rutt made by the various springs
on the hillside in the vicinity of the oil
house.
Besides being a great annoyance to
those who are compelled to travel on It,
many find it a source of annoyance when
taking visitors to our city in that direc
tion for the purpose of showing them
the fisheries, falls, fruit farms, etc. .along
the route.
A little expenditure by the city on the
part of this road under their jurisdiction
would make a wonderful improvement
and be a great accommodation to all.
What will be done in this regard before
tbe spring opens T
Lee K. Morse's Death.
About two years ago Lee K. Morse, of
Portland, who was recently killed in
Manila, visited The Dalles, and many
young people here remember meeting
him, as he wat one not to be forgotten
when once known. Hit remains were
brought to Portland Sunday, and taken
East last night. In writing to a friend
here, Walter Reavia says concerning bis
death:
"The taddest thing that I have to
tell yon is that our first sergeant wasehot
and killed by mistake by one of our sen
tryt. The details are as follows: On the
outpost of the guard there are several
magazines which are full of powder. The
natives have been trying to get into the
magar.ines and obtain the powder so as
to (live us strong battle.
"Anyway on the night ot the 6th of
January the guards, three in number,
knew they were around, and they suc
ceeded in killing four out of five and cor
nered the last of them. The shots
aroused the officers and Major Ganten-
bein and Captain Wells ran up to where
the shooting took place.
"Our flrst'teigeant at the time of the
shooting was making his report (nightly)
to Capt. Wells, and went with them, he
taking the lead. At they approached the
tentry nnseen, Lee Morse, which wat
bit name, ran npon the wall just where
the guards expected to see the natives
jump up. Of ource the sentry did not
expect any one else but the uaiivet to be
anywhere around, and it being dark
at dark could be, the sentrv shot hi in
through and through the hips
He
halted Lee, but Lee kept right on com-,
ing. Thetentry did bit duty like a
toldier, but it i an awful sad atLtir.
"He regained consciousness for a short
time and said "I don't think I am hurt
very bad." Theu laid down and died.
Both hips were badly shattered, the
ball passing straight through him. He
was buried on the following day, Jan. 7,
1399 It was the largest funeral I have
ever seen in the army, for he was one of
the most popular men in the regiment.
His remains were put in a vault at Ma
late. It has cast a shadow on our com
pany that will tat e some time for it to
raise."
Rev. W. C. Cnrtls In Norwalk.
A few days ago we spoke of a letter re
ceived by Harry Liebe from Rev. W. C.
Curtis, asking him to mount tome ar
row beads to be exhibited at the
Women's Club at Norwalk, Conn. Re
garding thit exhibit the Norwalk Senti
nel tayt :
"One of the most valuable and inter
esting afternoons tbe club hat ever given
will be next Tuesday, tbe 21st. W. C.
CuitisN, recently of The Dalles, Or., is to
loan his remarkable collection of Indian
arrow heads and basketry and give a
paper on these snbjects. Mr.Curtis is an
enthusiast upon this matter, following
the wise custom of many professional
men and having the resource of a study
aside from his own special pursuit. It
is a happy chance which brings him to
Norwalk, andhe is generous enough to
allow his collection to be exhibitad and
to give an explanatory paper upon it.
"Indian basketry is a subject with
which Eastern people generally are
but little acquainted, but to the
dwellers) on tbe Pacific coast it baa a
wide and groping interest, not only be
cause of the beauty and utility of tbe
baskets themselves, but because they
represent an art which seems destined
to past with the present generation
of Indians.
"Mr. Curtis it naturally interested in
acquainting Norwalk people with tome
of the charms of his favorite study, at
Norwalk is hit native place, and he was
warmly welcomed back upon hit return
a few mouths ago. Tbe lecture will be
gin at 3 o'clock."
OUR CAPITAL LETTER.
Deaf Mutes Visit the Legislature to List
en to Thoe Who are Anythlng
11 ut Motes.
Salkm, Feb. 18,' 1899.
Last Wednesday was the most excit
ing day of the jreeent session. The
deal mates came in from the school
to attend, in a body, the sitting of our
lawmakers, and tee how lawa were
made. , Tbe lesson learned was not evi
dently, a profitable one, since the deco
rum of several persons on the floor of
the bouBe during the forenoon session
was not up to the standard grade which
it 1b supposed lawmakers would assume.
This lack of good conduct was caused
by comment and debate which was be
ing held in regard to the merits and de
fects of the proposed Daly ecbool text
book commission law.
Tbe afternoon was taken up in the
bouse with consideration in committee
of tbe whole, Moody in the chair, of the
three appropriation bills. Tbe sums
named in these three bills, which have
been pasted upon by the committee, ag
gregate $1,182,924.62, and of this sum
the asylum geU $397,950, or a sum
which is $3,641.80 greater than one
fcbird of the total sums allowed for the
running expenses of the state, besides
the large sums allowed for schools, for
extending several wings on public build
ing, and other large sums paid for claims
against the state. From this, it seems
that tbia tame asylum is something of a
graft itself.
Today work in both bouses is being
rapidly pushed through, and great ef
forts are being made to finish up the la
bors of this body by S.tt.urday night.
LAST DAY OF LEGISLATURE.
Senate Fat I'p a Scheme In Itegrard to
Appropriation Amendments.
Static Hours, Salem, Feb. IS. Both
the houses met this morning at 9:30, an
early hour considering the fact that the
night sessions extended into the morn
ing hours, both adjourning at 3 o'clock.
The senate attempted to force the
house to concur in the senate amend
ments to the special appropriation by a
snap Bhot adjournment. This was en
gineered by Selling, and the fraud was
attempted by withholding the amend
ments to the bill, only the first seven
being sent to the house. The house re
sented the action, and with hot words
condemned it.
The house Is now trying to make this
legislative day and resciud the former
action to the contrary.
Latek The houses have appointed a
committee to arrive at a conclusion rela
tive to the amendments of the appropri
ation bill.
Both houses are now having a recess.
To the 1'nnllo.
We are authorized to guarantee every
