ily and copiously from midnight until 6
o'clock.

The City Council will meet to-night,
the first regular meeting of the year, and
will have considerable business to
transact.
Mount. Hood camp of Woodmen will,
give an open installation, and social en
tertainment at Odd Fellow's hall
"Wednesday evening Jan. 7. Invitations
are being issued.
Mr. R. B. Hood, who has the con
tract for distributing the water .pipes,
has the work about half completed.
There are about 100 tons to be dis
tributed yet.
Mr. E. Beck, bade good by to his
many friends here-after a two weeks
visit and left for his home, San Fran
cisco, on the delayed train this morning.
He goes by way of Tacoma.
At the court house nothing is going on
except the comparison of the assess
ment roll. The painters are about
through with work, and the town clock
will soon be again in running order. '
At a meeting of the city council New
Years eve, it was ordered that the time
for the payment of city taxes be extended
until January 31st. 1891. After which
time they will be collected by process of
law.
We noticed a handsome rustic settee
In the factory of Andrews & Livermore,
77 Court street to-day. We advise our
lady readers to visit these gentlemen
and examine their beautiful rustic
furniture.
The water works contractors brought a
considerable amount of supplies with
them, simply because they had them on
hand when they quit work at their last
place. They have bought several tons of
oats and hay, and no doubt other sup
plies will be purchased as needed.
Mr. Hampton has about a car load of
cattle at the stockyards. The demand is
light for beef, owing to a large supply
turkeys, geese and game have given the
beef market a hard deal for the past two
weeks.
For the past week the rain centers
seem to have changed and the country
5s now getting more than heretofore.
Enough has fallen to make plowing pos
. ible, and the gray and heavy skies are
full of promise of abundance of moisture.
The weather signals to be displayed
.here have not yet arrived, and probably
will not before the loth. Like every
thing else in the government depart
ments "time is of the essence of the con
tract." Mr. Glenn justly complains of boys
breaking the electric lamp globes with
their air guns. Five of them were
broken in one day. Parents as well as
Tys are notified that any boy caught in
the act will be prosecuted and will have
to pay for a globe besides.
Tne Diamond mill is still closed on
account of the sickness of the head
miller. This and the recent rainy
weather which has stopped travel to a
Xreat extent give the East End an un
usually quiet appearance.
The sheriffs convention is called to
meet at Salem January 20th. It is a
little suggestive that all the sheriffs
should be gathered at the state capitol
s soon as the legislature meets, but it
is a coincidence, not a necessity.
This is the most perfect day of the
winter, warm, orient and invieoratinir
Our readers here are no doubt aware of
it, and this item is for the benefit and
,jniormation of parties whose unkind fate
compels them to live elsewhere.
The Gymnasium Club gave another of
their very pleasant dances last night.
The beautiful hall was well filled with
happy young people, who tripped it
lightly until after 12 o'clock. Professor
xurgieia-B Dana rurnished the music
which was as usual, excellent.

There was a rumor on the street last
night that 50 men would be Tint tr ti irk
at the shops Monday next, and that 300
more would soon follow them. A,
Chronicle reporter spent two hours
trying to get that rumor cornered, stay
ing with it until midnight, but the only
authority found for it was "They say."
Mr. Peter DeHuff says there is nothing
in it, and that of the few men now here
one is occasionally taken away.

Mr. Richard Allen of Portland is in
the city.
Mr. J. F. Hanrahan, at one time in
charge of the boat building for the O. 8.
N. arrived here yesterday.
Our reporter this morning found the
genial city recorder busily engaged in
patching up a beautiful oil painting
which some ruthless fellow had torn in
two. It is a picture of which Mr.
Knaggs is very proud and he feels keenly
the rough usage his property has been
subjected to. '
The steamer Baker still lies at Crate's
point and is standing the wear and tear
of the winter well. Up to date she has
not been damaged by floating ice; nor
has she been frozen in. Instead of this
the weather has been delightful, and
the only reason the boat is tied up is be
cause she does not pay expenses. If the
company are not willing to maintain
this route, and operate the portage road
at the Cascades its charter should be
forfeited.
The board of trade committee held a
meeting this morning to prepare a report
on the proposition submitted to them to
locate a woolen mill here. - While the
report of the committee cannot be made
known until it is made to the board, it is
probable that it will recommend the
proposition to give ground for the loca
tion and a liberal bonus. The matter
has advanced far enough that the men
who purpose building the mill will be
invited, to come here, look at the
location and perfect contract.

Some Stock FIgmres.
Chicago received during the year
3,400,000 cattle, 175,000 calves, 7,700,000
hogs, 2,200,000 sheep and 103,000 horses.
America stands at the head of the world
in farm products and live stock and
Chicago stands as the greatest market
in America. If these hogs were placed
in a line, allowing four feet to a hog,
thev would make a solid ring of pork
around the world with six hundred
miles of hog left over. - The cattle would
at nine feet each make a circle of beef
parallel to it, with eight hundred miles
of beef left over. In other words there
were handled in Chicago 26,000 miles
each of hog and cattle. This would
make a drove of- twelve cattle
and twenty-four hogs abreast reaching
from here to Chicago. The cattle would
make a band a mile wide and seventeen
miles long. The hogs would cover,
closely packed together, ten square
miles of land. Those who have a liking
for estimates can find here a subject,
and amuse themselves by estimating
the amount of bellow and squeal; a
square mile of stock contained, the
amount of horse power required to make
the noise, and various and sundry other
resultant calculations which we have
not time to carry out.

It is now a moral certainty that very
soon North Dalles is to receive another
enterprise of greater importance to it
than the one already started - and our
people must not be surprised if, at least,
two manufactories are soon put
underway. Mr. O. D. Taylor accom
panied by a gentleman from Portland
leave for the east on an extended trip, in
a few days and on their return we shall
expect to see lively times at North
Dalles. Back of the proposition at North
Dalles are men who are quietly working
out the rapid development of the north
side of the river. They are financially
strong and able to put into practical
operation improvements of very large
magnitude. The next ninety days will
change the appearance at North Dalles
and our people will then know what we
meant when we advised them to pur
chase something in this young city.

Among: the Wealthy People Overfeed
Their Dogn Points on When to Feed
and What to Give the Animals.
."Tea, fm a doctor" now," said a bird
fancier to a reporter, as he dropped a
capsule into the open month of a bull
dog he had between his knees. '
"Yes, sir,' he continued, patting the
dog, "I'm a real doctor now; that is, as
far as doga and birds go. Can I cure
them if they are sick! "Well, yon just
try me. Never lost a patient yet, and
some of my cures are marvelous. Does
it pay? WelL I just reckon it does. Do
you see that bull dog? TTig liver is out
of order, and it will take just three days
to cure him. At $1 a visit and one visit
a day that makes $3 not bad for curing
a dog's diseased liver, ehr
"Is $1 your regular fee?" returned the
acribe, taking a seat ' on a box of dog
biscuits.
"That's my vfiiting fee. Of course, if
I take the dog here with me the owner
has to pay board for it.
"Surgical operations? Bless your soul,
we have plenty of that sort of work. It
was only Monday that I amputated a
dog's tail. But that's nothing; we cut
tails off every day or so. It's a society
fad, yon know, to have dogs with short
tails. Then we clip terriers' ears, but
there's not much skill in that. Yoa
would laugh if you could see some of thu
ladies who bring dogs here to have their
tails cut. They go on terrible, and if the
purp happens to yell, which, of course, it
does, they stop up their ears and run
away."
ONE OF MANY CASES.
"Do you allow people to see you at
work?" ,
"No, not generally; but when these
fine ladies come down nothing will do
but they must see everything. Whist:
here comes one now. Just listen.
"Good morning, Mrs. H. How's your
dog today?"
"Oh, doctor, Toodles is awful! Didn't
sleep all night and forsook his milk and
bread this morning. Please see what
you can do for him!"
The dog was passed over. It was a
fat pug so fat. in fact, that it could
hardly walk. Yet it carried its pedigreed
tail in thoroughbred style from without
a velvet coat which encircled the dog's
body and was fastened underneath with
tiny pink bows. -
The dog doctor squeezed the pup's
throat and out came his tongue.
"The dog's bilious," said the doctor,
with a knowing wink. "You've been
feeding him on candy.?
"Just a tiny bit, doctor. Oh! say hall
get well!"
The doctor looked thoughtful a mo
ment and continued:
. "Yes, I can cure him, but if he gets
over this take my advice and don't give
him any more sweets."
Til never do it again, doctor. "Will I.
Toodles?" appealing to the dog.
"Then take this box of capsules and
give him one three times a day. Wait,
IH give him one now, and yon can see
how I do it."
Taking the dog between his legs the
doctor pressed his knees about its neck
and opened its mouth. Then taking a
capsule in his mouth he dropped it down
the dog's throat, way out of sight.
"I can never do that in the world,
doctor," said the lady despairingly.
"Can't you do it in any other way?"
"You might put it in a piece of meat,
but my way is the best."
'Til try the meat way first. How much,
doctor?"
"One dollar, please, and twenty-five
cents for the medicine."
"My! how reasonable you 'are. Our
family doctor charges me $3 each visit
and the medicine always costs about $1.'
So handing the fee over she departed with
Toodles in her arms.
HOW TO FEED DOGS.
"They are the people we make a living
off of," said the doctor as soon as she was
out of sight. "She overfeeds her dog in
the first place and stuffs him with cake
and candy. A bull dog couldn't stand
such treatment. The result is the dog
gets sick. Can you blame him? You'd
get sick yourself. And if he isn't treated
at once he dies. Dogs should be fed but
twice a day a light breakfast and a
hearty dinner.
"Puppies should not be fed .oftener,
but in either case never overfed. It not
only makes the dog lazy but sick. Meat
should never be given to puppies. It
gives them distemper. A large bone
now and then, however, is beneficial, as
it aids teething, and when broken np
and swallowed aids digestion. Some
people think a good plateful of meat is
all a dog requires. Wrong again. Show
me a dog brought np on meat and 111
venture to say he is worthless.
"The proper thing to feed a dog with
is what you call dog cakes. They are
simply the waste meat chopped np with
some cornmeal and well done vegetables
and baked.
"What kind of patients do dogs make?"
queried the reporter.
"Best in the world," rejoined the doc
tor. "It is really a pleasure to physic a
dog. You know they can't say anything,
even if they do growl a little.
"No, I never was bitten by a sick dog:
They" seem to know that I am doing all
I can to make them well, and I think ap
preciate it."
"That was an excellent method of giv
ing pills I noticed a few moments ago.
but how do you manage when the medi
cine is in liquid form?'
"Nothing? easier in the world," an
swered the ; doctor, removing a splinter
from a setter's broken leg. "Take tne
dog between . your legs and force its
mouth open by pressing the finger and
thumb on either side of the throat. Then
hold out one corner of the mouth and
pour the medicine in there. It makes a
natural funnel. Of course the dog's head
must be held aloft to keep the medicine
from Bpilling. In case the dog is vicious
put a muzzle on him and proceed the
same." Washington Star.
