March is supposed to come in like a
lion, and she certainly did not disap
point anyone, for today has been a ter
ror as far as wind Is concerned. Dur
ing the night the rain continued to come
down in torrents, and this morning the
"gentle breezes" drove the showers aside
to a certain extent, only allowing them
to make their appearance occasionally ;
but when they did they made up for lost
time. Since Saturday night we have
bad 1.70 of an inch of rain, which has
done an untold amount of good, most of
the moisture sinking ir;tothe ground.
This morning, while R. Rorden was
delivering groceries on the hill, Lis
horse became frightened and deciding
not to wait for the driver, started down
the hill at a lively pace. When he
readied the bottom of the hill on Union
street, he succeeded in turning the cart
over and breaking the shafts. Mr. Ror
den returned to where he had left the
horse standing and found him minus.
Upon searching for his lost property he
came across the demolished rig, and
later a friend came np leading the un
ruly animal. No great damage was done.

dent and clerk at Chemawa has been

who know his ability, that the Warm
Springs school is certain of Micces under
his management. Mr. Davis will leave
for his new field of labor during the
coming week, His successor at Chemawa
will be the former superintendent at
Warm Springs, W. P. Campbell. Sa-j

Wajla and that place, was thus rendered

been on a business trip. Mr. McDevitt
reports wintery weather in the mining

Last night the stores were opened for

Last night Mr. and Mr, tieo. A.

visited the old homestead In Malne.and,
strange to say, everything was as she

left it, with the exception of the paint on
the house. Such is the sameness of the
East. At Billings tbey found the ther
mometer loafing around about 55 below,
and in consequence remained indoors
most of the time.
The 'phone girls were kept busy this
morning as the young gentlemen, who
are seriously-inclined and looking for a
good cook, called up their best girls and
told them of Miss Tracy's lecture.
However, It Is to be regretted that the
demand ol this day and age not only
kept them In the stores, offices, etc, to
day, but continually keeps them from
place they were designed to-till, and
where they should be in the home.
A meeting of the Hook and Ladder
Co. was held last evening in the city
hall and business of importance was at
tended to. H. C. Lei he, who is fore
man of the company, resigned as tire
patrolman and J. S. Scheuck was elect
ed to serve for one year in conjunction
with Vic Marden, elected for two years,
and T. A. Ward for three years. First
assistant S. E. Van Yactor having
moved to Condon, Samuel Thurman was
elected to fill the vacancy. The - com
mittee appointed some time ago to
solicit subscriptions for the purchase of a
new hook and ladder truck and ap
paratus will wait upon our citizens
shortly, and it is to be hoped thjy will
meet with a Siting success, lor the
present appurtenances afe inadequate.
If a comparison were made between
the attendance at the court room and
the Baldwin opera house this afternoon
and the interest taken in the work
judged from the size of the audiences,
the result would be much in favor of the
ladies. It was a pleasing sight to see
such a large audience of pleasant looking
ladies, with note hook in hand.eagor to
catch every word uttered by the fair
speaker, who stood on the stage behind
a large demonstrating table filled 'with
cooking utensils and everything neces
sary to make most delicious salads and i
deserts. At one side of the stagn was an
oil stove, ready to do service when need
ed. Miss Tracy is a very charming lady
and enters right into the spirit of her j
work, and when she has mixed and re
mixed the various ingredients, they are !
fit for a king. As the ladies were pre
paring to sample the dishes, a number
of gentlemen were seen to make their
appearance tn the audience, and no I
doubt were rewarded. .
While a certain amount of applause at
an entertainment Is cumineudable, and
Is a wonderful stimulant to the perform
ers, there is a question as to how much
should lie required of those who enter
tain us. Should we insist on an encore
to every number ot the program, thus
completely wearing out those who take
part and causing the audience, in many
instances, to grow weary before the last
numbers are rendered. Not that this
was the case lust night, for the lasting
quality of the voices of the quartet was
remarkable, and, if posaihle, seemed to
grow Iretler with each succeeding num
ber ; while the audience certainly never

were mora than kind in. responding.
Yet, it is beginning to be considered
not quite the proper thing to demand so
much of our entertainers, and in the
East Is being done away with almost en
tirely. While we encourage the per
formers by frequent applause.we should
not be selfish iu the matter.
Friday'! Pally.
It is currently reported today that we
are to have another grocery store in the
city. That C. E. Dawson is contemplat
ing going into business in the Vogt
building next door to the land office.
Hugh Fraser Is now numbered among
the victims of the crippe, being quite
sick in bed. For about a month past he
has been ailing, but would not give up
till a few days since.
Passenger train No. 1 will certainly
be compelled to change her number,
unless she changes her tactics in arriv
ing, for she may be first in number, but
of late is last in arriving. Yesterday's
train reached here at 10 :30 this morning,
while this afternoon's will not be here
until about 9 o'clock.
Travelers on the roads out from the
city report them in a terrible condition,
almost bottomless. This morning when
the stage reached the hill on the other
side of 8-Miie it mired and after some
hard work in attempting to extricate it
from the clutches of the mud, an extra
team was seemed and helped .them out
of the dilemma.
Pague was warning the'iuercliants of
Portland to remove all goods from
cellars yesterday as the water enters
them when the river is from 15 to 19
feet high and at noon yesterday it reg
istered 12 feet, with the prospect of
raising six feet by noon tomorrow.
The Columbia is rising gradually mid
will perhaps continue to for some time;
but we have nothing to fear in that line
this time of year.
While it is greatly to be regretted that
our farmers did not receive the benefit
intended from the institute just closed,
the difficulty seems to have been from
the fact that this is their busiest season
and almost an impossibility for them to
leave the plow and other duties. Then,
too, the meeting was not advertised a
sufficient length of time before it oc
curred, giving them little chance to pre
pare to attend.
Surveyor Gjit informs Tun Ciikonici.k
that during the past two years about
2ti0 cash entries and homesteads have :
been proven up on, for Wasco county
alone. Figuring on an average of a
quarter of a section to each settler this
makes sixty-five section, or 41,000 Tea
for the county, a hich have been added
to the assessment roll in that time.
Averaging at about 3 an acre, this will
amount to $121,800.
No doubt some of onr Dalles people
who went to Portland to hear Ward

in Portland in two weeks, giving tvery
one a chance to hear them.
Druggists report an immense sale of
pepsin and like medicines to aid diges
tion, the ladies all being employed to
day In testing the numerous receipts
for salads and deserts given them by
Miss Tracy yesterday. At the close of
her lecture teveral ladies endeavored to
persuade her to make regular trips to
the city for the pumoae of giving class
lessons. At present she deems it im
possible; but may arrange to do so in
the fall.
This morning Mrs. Geo. Rowland re
ceived a telegram announcing the death

her death occurred at 3 o'clock this
morning. Rev. Poling who was her
former pastor, wss also telegraphed to

morning to conduct the services, which
will be held Sunday.
Whether on account of the war or be
cause of the Alaskan excitement has not
been determined ; but for some reason
the tourist travel on the Columbia river
last year was very light, not comparing
with that of other years. From all ap
pearances this year will make np for
that deficiency, as we understand sev
eral different parties have already signi
fied their intention of viewing the
scenery of our beautiful river this sum
mer, among them one under the'super
vision of Dr. Grant; another with W.
A. Gillespie, of Philadelphia, as the
prime mover, besides abont five hun
dred editors and two hundred and fifty
teachers, the latter coming up from their
meeting at Los Angeles. These are
only a few of tiie many which wili come
during the season. And what an ad
vertisement our state will get.
