The April Ladies' Home Journal will
contain the first article of series tell
ing"Howtobe Pretty Though Plain."
The author, who has verified all her
Statements, insists (hat it is within easy
possibility for the plainest woman to
be pretty, and she thinks it not an on
worthy ambition. Good common-sense
forms the basis of this author's advice
to all women who wish to be pretty.
The rolling piniias always been con
sidered one of woman's best weapons,
and tonight that particular article is to
decide the esse of the ladies of the club
vs. the gentlemen, and those who desire
to see the trial should be at the club
rooms at 3 o'clock, when the contest
begins. The games will be dispatched
with haste, and those who wish to at
tend the birthday party afterward may
do so, reaching there in time for the
program.
The new coat of white paint being pnt
on the Columbia Hotel will not only add
much to the appearance of the building,
but to the general effect on passengers
going through the city. The train
passes the most dilapidated looking
part of the town, anyway, and to see
clean-looking buildings along the route
will do much to offset the otherwise bad
impressions formed. This hotel is be
ing fitted up in splendid condition and
is much improved in every way.
Judge K. C. Bronatigh, one of the
ahlest attormysin the Northwest, died
at his home in Portland Monday night.
Aliont three months ago he was taken
ill and in January contracted the grippe,
which hastened the end, although he
had recovered sufficiently to walk about
three blocks Sunday to the home of his
son. Judge Bronaugh was 08 years of
age, and at the lime of his retirement
from the leg.il profession was of the firm
of Fenton, McArthur A Bronaugh. The
funeral will take place h! f'-rr.ooii at
the Presbyterian church in Portland.
From C. M. Grimes, who has Just re
turned from Southern Idaho, we learn
that the loss of stock throughout Oregon,
Washington and Idaho, although bad,
is not nearly so severe as was reported.
The loss Is principally among ramie
horses, whi!h the settlers do not feed,
having only enough feed for their vain
able stock. Many of them deem that it Is
Laces ol Oils.

1 miesioners. in speaking ol Hood River's
fruit crop bays: "The papers have
j greatly exaggerated our los, being in
formed perhaps by those who look on
! the dark side. While many if the
j peaches are killed, a few of the apricots
and a very few prunes, we still have a
fairly good crop of each, and our apple,

cellent." He also says: "Bring all the
visiting editors down tmd we'll skow
them what good fruit is." Mr. Evans
knows whereof he speaks , being inter

viewers, to meet April 3d.
W. R. Winans has located four new
settlers on government lands within the
last few days, and they get their choice
of some of the best land In Hood River
valley. Who'll be the next?
Last night H. II. Riddell received a
telegram from Washington confirm
ing the announcement in yesterday's
Telegram that his appointment bad not
been confirmed by the senate. Nothing
further regarding the matter has been
teamed, and The Dalles still remains
without a new postmaster, much to the
regret of those who felt assured the
matter wag settled.
Yesterday afternoon F. L. Houghton
mashed the second fingerof his left hand
very severely while moving some boxes
at the drugstore. He was not only un
able to take part iu the bowling contest
last night, but unable-to rest during the
night. It is a very painful, though not
serious bruise.
H. Edesen was arrested yesterday by
the marshal for begging, and after pass
ing the night in the city jail called up
on the recorder and was fined $2 or one
day in jail.' He was taken op to where
a gang of men were working on the
Union street grade, and there worked
out his sentence.
Among the number of those to w horn
the state board of education has furnished
teachers' diplomas and certificates

For life diplomas, Miss Anna Lang; al
so Miss Mary Frazier, formerly of The
Dalies schools, Miss Miche.II having
previously been granted a like diploma.
State diploma, Mrs. Kate Roche. State
certificate, Miss Catherine Martin.
Tomorrow night after the play In Port
land the Elks lodge will give a reception
to Frederick Warde and Louis James.
The affair is to be up to the top notch of
perfection such as Elks only could make
of such an occasion. An address is to
be made by Frederick Warde, re
sponded to by D. Soils Cohen, either of
which will certainly be worth a trip to
Portland to hear. Portland lodge, No.
142, has extended an invitation to Cas
cade lodge to be present, and many will
leave tomorrow morning for that
purpose.
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
when Fred Snipes was standing in
Giger & Co. 'a store he suddenly fell to
the floor in R dead faint. The doctor
was called and after a half hour spent
in working over him, te was sufficiently
recovered to 1 carried to Mr. Schmidt's
room in the Chapman building, al
though he did not regain consciousness
for several hours. .It is thought to be
neuralgia of the heart, as Fred has had
some such trouble before. He is some
what improved today, and will be taken
home this afternoon.
Noble's Dramatic Company, that
excellent organization, opened Tuesday
night in the very funny farce comedy
"Our Strategists," and we are glad to
note that they a-e receiving so liberal
patronage. They are certainly giving
the people of Heppner a rare treat In the
way of good plays, artistically produced,
and fine music by their band and orches
tra. This Is the best company the
amusement loving people of our city
have had the pleasure of witnessing in
years, and during the remainder of their
engagement merit packed houses,

In Portland the price of divotcs I as
been reduced from $10 to ", and they
are now having a bargain sale in that
city, one in which both the women and
men are interested. Would it not tie a
better Idea for clergymen.justices of the
peace, and all who have the authority
to perform the "tie act," to increase the
price of the ceremony, and also that the
price of the license be placed at such a
notch that it is a more difficult matter
to get into tlio matrimony muddle, In
stead of reducing the price of extricat
ing one's sell from its clnlcl.ee. As It
Is now, the cost of both getting in and
out of the "blissful state" is but about
best to allow these hones to die, so that
the grass may be saved for the sheep
f 7 00 and a sack of potatoes or a squash
I or two 2.00 for the license, potatoes for
the clergyman (oltner nothing) and f5
i for divorce.
It sill be good news to those who are
wont to drive during the summer
months to hear that the grade rn Union
street, at the southwest corner of the
Academy park, is being improved so
that instead of encountering the steep
hill there, it will t-e an easy grade. The
road is also being worked on, and trees
have been cut oat preparatory to cutting
the street through on Liberty from
Twelfth to Fourteenth, and down Four
teenth to Mill creek. No better move
could be made, nor one which would be
more appreciated unless it be that the
same amouut of work be done on various
other city roads leading out of town.
The handicap bowling contest between
the ladies and gentlemen at the club
alleys last night drew large crowd, and
great excitement prevailed as game after
game was played, particularly among
the ladies who seemed to bave their
innings last night. Indeed Its seldom
that The Dalles ladies fail to have the
best of the bargain, tor we have some
fine bowlers among the ladies of the
club. The teams were compote 1 of Mrs.
Seufert, Mrs. Fish, Mrs. Houghton, Mrs.
Blakeley, Misses Anna Lang and Alma
Schanno; Messrs. Bradshaw, Hostetler,
VanNorden, Mays, Kurt and Schmidt.
In the first game there were 27 points to
the credit of the ladies; in the second
13, and in the third 2. ' In the last the
gentlemen came to the front with 25
ahead. When it was announced that
the ladies had won by seventeen pins,
there was great rejoicing, and the "gal
lery gods," who always stand in with
them, were enthusiastic in the extreme.
The highest total score for the ladies
was that made by Miss Scbanno, 143;
that of the gentlemen, 159, won by Vic
tor Schmidt. Mrs. Houghton held the
highest single score for the fadies, 48;
Ed Kurtz for the gentlemen, wich was
aleo 48. The winning team had refused
previous to the games to put np any
wager: but no doubt they did not refuse
a treat at the close of the contest.

Wasco has never bad the pleasure of
witnessing so good a dramatic company
as it did last week in the Noble company
and it will doubtless be a long time ere
it does again. It was the first time we
have ever had a six-day entertainment,
and the boys are all "busted," for they
couldn't stay away; but they are satis
fled, nevertheless. Crowded houses
every night greeted the company, whose
sole thought was to give the people their
money's worth. And they did. Every
member of the company is good, from
Mr. Noble down, and it is with delight
that we listen to the orchestra. In
addition to the many other accomplish
ments, they are ladies and gentlemen
in the fullest sense of the term. They
go from Moro to The Dalies next week,
where they will no doubt receive an
ovation. Wasco News.
Geo, Young, state president of the

secuied an abstract of the war record of
his grandfather, Daniel Nutting, .who

served with distinction and credit to
himself and his native state. Mr.

NEW SEWER SYSTEM-
A Great ! to H 8Ulic -
H,lp In
Along.
I
At the last council meeting a special
omuiittee on sewers was appointed,
compured of Council men Kuck, John
and Stephens, and a meeting called for
laat night, when their report waa to be
received and acted upon.
Accordingly, Mayor Nolan and the fol
low ing council men met last night;
Kuck, Keller, Clough, Johns, Gunning,
Stephens, Michel bach and Johnston.
No business ouiing up except that for
which the meeting was especially called,,
their report was at once read, the lab
stance of which was as follow s :
That a complete new sewer system bo
put in below the bluff and on Union
street above the blr.tT. Nothing bnt
terra cotta pipes are to be used, the
main sewer being on Union street, into
which all other pipes empty. Instead!
of turning the corner at Second street,
as it now does, and emptying into the
creek at the foot of Liberty street, it will
extend straight down Union, emptying
into the river below the Umatilla Hons.
This will be a great improvement, aa
much difficulty has been caused by the
present drainage of the sewer on Liberty
street.
The committee recommended that the
cost of said sewer be paid by an assess
ment on all lots below the bluff and on
lots in the blocks bordering on Union
street on the bluff as far upas Twellth
street. Such assessment is to be a cer
tain uniform per cent on the valuation
of such lots, regardless of all improve
ments on the same. ,
The council practically adopted the
report as offered, and in a few days The
Ciiboniclc will give the location of the
sewers, and more definite information
regarding them.
Many property owners will no donbt
consider that their assessment is already
more than it should be, and criticise the
action of the council in this regard. We
cannot think,' however, that such wili
be the case when the matter is properly
considered. No matter in connection
with the city's interest is more im
portant than is that of a good sewer sys
tem, and nothing is so detrimental to
the growth of that city as the fact
(which is always bound to be looked in
to when a person is contemplating tak
ing np their residence in a place) that
the sewerage is poor. For some time
past our residents bave been aware that
something must be done in this regard,
the wooden troughs in use causing no
end of trouble and expense, and now
that the council has taken the matter
in hand it is to be hoped that they will
have the co-operation of every citizen.
In other words that the kicks of a few
will not be allowed to overturn the
whole system.
WHO MAY BE DIRECTORS.
Tha Question Answered by
Buperfm-
tendent Ackerman.
A question that has been propounded
to the state superintendent with a great
deal of persistency is that of the qualifi
cations of school directors. In response
to a demand for information upon this
point, Mr. Ackerman has issued the
following ciicular of instruction :
"The question has been asked whether,
or rot persons who have the requisite
qualifications to vote for school director
or school clerk, only, have the requisite
qualifications for holding the office ol
school director or school clerk. Reply
ing to said question I will say that, in
my opinion, if a person has the requisite
qualifications to vofe for school director
or school clerk, only, said person bsa
the requisite qualifications for school di
rector or school clerk.
"You will notice by a careful reading
of the law covering qualifications of
voters that it makes provision for two
classes of voters ; one ot which can vote
at any school election or school meeting
upon any question; the other being
composed of women who are widows
aud male citizens over 21 years of age
who have children in the district of
school age, and who shall have resided
in the district 30 days, as aloresald,
shall be entitled to vote at any school
meeting, for the election of school di
rectors or school clerk. That is to say,
this latter class can vote for school di
rector or school clerk, only, and hence
are qualified, according to this ruling,
to hold the office of school director or
school clerk. I have based this opinion
upon sections 81 and S2, page 43, of the
Oregon school laws, which reads as fol
lows: '
" "Section 81. Any person, male or
female, who is a qualified voter at
school elections, shall lie eligible to the
office of school director iu such districts.
" 'Section 82. At such general or
special elections, in such districts, the
only officers voted for shall be that of
directors and clerk.' "
