The court house is again in good repair
though it will take a week or so to com
plete the finishing touches. 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

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.

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.

Mr. Wilder, of the firm of Wilder &

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

The play is a good one, the theatre

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. Back of the proposition at North
Dalles are men who are auietlv 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
ana our people will tnen know what we
meant when we advised them to pur
chase something in this young city.

MODERN ASPECT OF MANY PLACES
IN BIBLE HISTORY.
Tne 8e of Galileo The Dwelling; Flute
of Herod Probable Site of Capernaum.
. 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.
