Hawson who has been sick at Arlington for some time is in the city. Mr. E. dinger, of Hood River is in the city. AVe acknowledge a pleasant call. Mr. W. B. Perry, one of Hood River's solkl business men, was in the city yes terday. AVe still have a large supply of weather signal cards. Call and get one so you can read the signals understanding. The board of water commissioners are busily engaged in adjusting the water rates for consumers, which they will con clude in a few days. One of the pleasant little affairs that go to settle the question that marriage is not a failure occurred at Mrs. John Brown's last night. It is a boy. The commissioners' court is still in ses sion' having quite a lot of business to at tend to, and will probably not get through before tomorrow afternoon. The meeting of the city council last night would have been much more in teresting if the councilmen had put m an appearance. There was no quorum, and no chance even of counting one, so the meeting did not meet. Eastern Washington papers unan imously favor the opening of the Colum bia, and as far as heard from, favor the ..uv.. ...b .uu v. j l ..... ... n.wa. ,iwimn frt arvmnrtliah f.liA u-swlr One of our friends has sent us the names of eleven new subscribers in the past week.

Hoffman closed the contract yesterday with the board of water com missioners and engineer Lowe for the construction of the reservoir' and dig ging for and laying the water mains. Mr. Hoffman has begun the work of ex cavation and will push it to completion with all possible diligence. The Indians are having a genuine ghost dance across Mill creek, and we understand the same performances are going on across the river and at Cililo Grand Duke Goffe of the latter place had best look after the wild aborigines in his bailiwick or they will stop the run of salmon with their orgies. a ne topic tor tne prayer meeting at - toe vxjngregationai cnnrcn mis evening is as follows : Prayer for the family, home religion, our children and youth, t n . . , . , ...

The judge's room has been neatly papered, and is as comfortable as possible. The court room is in fine condition, better than before the fire and the other rooms have had all evidences of the fire removed, and are neat and clean. Mr. Crandall who is in charge of the work can justly feel proud of it. The Chkoxicle's dispatches give you the news twenty-four hours in advance of the Oregonian. Of course we do not have the telegraphic service of our big brother but for the small sum of fifty . cents a month, you can get the cream of the dispatches, besides all the local news. We are trying to make the Chronicle serve your interests, advertise your city and aid in its development. We feel that you should assist us in the good work. Take the Chronicle for a month, and see if you have not made a good investment. isaiem CorresnnnripnnA fltarpa tiit. nnr Col. Kevins will in all probability be made either reading clerk of the house or the chief clerk. The Colonel is one of the brightest of men and will fill any position in which he may be placed with credit to himself and honor to his party. Wasco "will be pleased to see one of her favorite sons selected to fill the position o chief clerk, and we hope that Col. Ne vius will be chosen for the position, outside of his peculiar fitness for the position, he has served his party loyally and long deserves any reward it may be able to give him. Most of our merchants are busy taking account of stock. $500.00 to loan on stood city property. Inquire at this office. Governor Moody came up from Port land yesterday" morning. A light fall of snow covered the hills around about the city last night. The west bound passenger train pulled in this morning four hours late. ' Mr. Wilder, of the firm of Wilder & Thompson, merchants of Goldendale, was here yesterday on a business trip. . For the past two . days the sky has been obscured by clouds and with the easterly wind one would imagine winter was near. It is reported that August Buchler Esq. has resigned as a member of the board of water commissioners, but it is not made officially known as yet. The water pipes are about all dis tributed and the work of digging the trenches will commence at once if the present weather continues. Mr, Max Vogt,. is fitting up the brick building, formerly occupied by Fish & Bardon in fine style, which when com pleted will be occupied by Mr. L. Butler as a grocery and provision store. The ground for the big reservoir has been cleared of trees, and work com menced on the excavation. A hard cement is encountered close to the sur face, which will make 'the work some what slower than was expected. Yesterday the big clock on the court house struck, not for higher wages but for more hours. This is the first time it has been heard since the fire, and the cause of its striking was Mr. Garretson, who has the contract for repairing it, and who informs us it will be running to-day. The Chronicle would be pleased to have a correspondent in every precinct, but as our space is limited, we can use onlv brief letters. We want the local happenings, births, deaths, marriages, school matters, church matters, accidents in fact news items. We can find room for the discussion of matters of public interest, but these communications must in all cases be boiled down. The state veterinary surgeon could find something to study upon by visiting Wasco. Quite a number of cattle have died there from some unknown Inalady recently. The symptoms are those of poisoning, the animals having severe spasms similar to those in cases of strychnine poisoning. It is said, how ever, that an examination shows the disease to work on the kidneys, these in some cases being almost entirely de stroyed. . The disease or whatever it is, is not general but several stock owners have suffered losses from it. The Dalles Home Dramatic lub will appear at the Vogt Grand tomorrow night in that very interesting play, "A Celebrated Case." It is one of the best amateur dramatic clubs that ever ap peared before the public, and our citi zens should show their pride in, and ap preciation of them, by filling our mag nificent theatre to its utmost capacity. The play is a good one, the theatre building one of the finest in the state, the club possessed of extrordinary talent, and the object, to aid the free reading room, one in which we should all assist See to it that you do your part by at tending.

It is now a moral certainty that very soon North Dalles is to receive another enterprise of greater importance to it than tne 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 6y 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 Ualles.

The First Christian Church The Mount - of Beatitudes Other Soenes. The best view of the Sea of Galilee Is from Safed, a town several thousand feet above the sea level. About this lit tle inland sea, that, is only 17 miles long and between 6 and 9 miles wide, were enacted some of the' most sacred soenes in the world's history. There is now but little life along the shores, for wars, pestilence and other causes have tended to bring what was once a rich garden spot to rnin, but there can still be wit nessed the daily occurrences told of in Scripture. There are fishermen casting their nets, sheep following good shep herds, lilies in the fields, scattered flocks, and the sea is tossed by sudden storms. The eastern coast is possessed by Bedou ins, and the western side, once thickly populated by hardy, energetio mount aineers in favor with Christ, is quite desolate, with only a few scattered ham lets. " At the period of its prosperity, when Christ was living at Nazareth with his parents, the country was under Roman government, Herod being the ruler. A high state of excitement prevailed. The Roman yoke was heavy upon the Jews and conflicts were frequent. Herod was living at Tiberias, and the lavish expen diture of money and labor made the place palatial. In addition to this the extensive- hot springs near drew many neb. and influential who were in poor health, all combining to make Tiberias the center of Roman civilization. The Sea of Galilee wa affected by all this. Vessels of all kinds were numerous. quays dotted the shores and activity was great. At this time! Tiberias is visited by Dil- grims who come from all directions to end their -days in the holy city and to bathe in the springs. South of these baths on the western shore there is noth ing of interest but the departure of the Jordan from the sea. The river con tinues to the south, running through fertile meadows and between the hills which border it. A ford is there. For merly there was a bridge, with a long, extended causeway. A great sea wall kept the turbulent waters under control. Even now the Jordan often plunees and swirls as though maddened by the inter ruption of the lake and drives hastily onward, only to be intercepted again and brought to a standstill by the Dead Sea. Mounds of the rubbish are at the south ern end of the Sea of Galilee, they being all there is to show where the Roman city of Tarichea once stood. Tiberias can be fixed from a distance by the tall minaret of the mosque. The first Christum church there is said to have been built in the Fourth century by Constantine. It stood on the site of the mosque and was called St. Peter's At one time Tiberias had thirteen syna gogues. The oldest is yet well preserved, although -1. 000 years and over have passed since it was erected. Its roof is supported by stone arches and columns. In ' the center is a great cagelike inclos ure constructed of wood, which is dried and twisted by centuries of exposure, but yet as sound as when hewed from the log. This is the reading place. Ascending the steps which lead to the interior the rabbi opened tne scroll and began to teach the law. Beyond this there is but little to interest. The mag nificence of the past has succumbed to present needs. Millstones are cut from the syenite columns or temples, porphyry columns are cut out for public drinking troughs, and floors for thrashers are paved with frieze chiseled with Greek designs by Herod's commands. The nearest town to the north is Mag dala. It must have been important in its best days. It is even now a halting place on the caravan road from Jerusa lem to Damascus, Bagdad and Nineveh. Khan Minyeh, believed by some to have been the site of ancient Capernaum, is the next point north. Tell Hum is an hour's journey from Khan Minyeh, and has ruins thought to be of the syna gogue built by a Roman, mentioned in Luke vii. 5. They claim that it was there Christ spoke on the "Bread of Life." Many think this point was where Capernaum stood, and is where Zebedee. James, John, Andrew and Peter lived, and where four disciples were called to be "fishers of men." Continuing the journey a spot is reached that is accepted as the place where Jesus sat when "teaching the multitudes' who followed him. "Kn run Hattin" the "Horns of Hattin" the supposed "Mount of the Beatitudes" are upon the mountain ridge followed in journeying from Safed to the Sea of Galilee. Below them is a wide plateau where the assembled multitude could have been seated while listening to the Sermon on the Mount when the sweet ness of the Beatitudes was repealed to them. The two "horns" of Hattin seem to have been protected by massive struct ures. The approach to the higher one is easy from one side, while to the north east there is a sheer ascent of over 700 feet. The white limestone hills, the basaltic cliffs, the modern village of Hattin in the plain below, the orange groves and the fruit gardens, the waving grain, the varied families of flowers and the group of Druse farmers present pict ures at every glance. From the historical mountain top is seen Sored, the city which some scholars believe to be the place alluded to by Jesus when he said, "A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid." In July, 1187, the plain of Hattin was the gathering place of the Crusaders the spot where they were hemmed in by the hosts that Saladin led against them. The mountains of the Hauran on the east and the Jaulan on the south are visible. When thte air is clear the line of the Jordan may be made out creep ing through the jungle to the Dead Sea.
