Between court and the railroad boys'
ball the Umatilla last night was filled re
minding one of old times.
Senate bill 156, being the new charter,
can be seen at this office. It ie too long
to print or we would give it space.
Look out for the new advertisment in
to-morrow's paper ol John Booth's Blue
Point Oysters and other luxuries.
The extra last night from Portland
did not arrive until 6 o'clock. . It stop
ped at the Umatilla House and was met
by the brass band.
Messrs Frank Seely the genial conduc
tor, P. Glenn former road master here,
and Neff the foreman of the bridge car
penters are attending court as witnesses
i in the railroad suits.
Dr. Candiani of the Cascade lock is in
the city, being sub-journed as a witness
in the case against the Union Pacific.
The Dr. attended the wounded in the
Cascade wreck last winter.
Mr. W. R. Barrett, now of Lebanon,
is in the city visiting his brother-in-law
W. C. Allaway. Mr. Barrett says The
Dalles is the nicest place to live in he
has seen in Oregon and the best climate
he ever saw, and we say so too.
The west bound passenger yesterday
came in with all the steps torn off the
etandboard side of the cars. This was
caused by a big boulder rolling down be
side the track, and the company is for
tunate in getting off so lightly as it
might have caused a serious wreck.

interesting details of the climatology

Tllere is no better emigration publica

Work on the reservoir which has been
stopped for some time, on account of the
ground being frozen so that it was unfit
to go into the bank, was commenced
again this morning. The reservoir will
be completed by the middle of April and
if the water bill and new charter passes,
the supply pipes will be in place by that
Mr. & Mrs. J. C Brickell, formerlv of
The Dalles, but now of Victoria, B. C,
are in, this city on a short visit. Mr.
Brickell hasjthought some of disposing of
Ins property here, but seeing a strong
indication that The Dalles is just on the
eve of going ahead rapidly in a business
way, has concluded to retain his interest
here, and may return and help things
along towards the good tines that are
coming.
The first of the suits against the rail
road company was called this morning.
It was that of John Carlson, adminis
trator of the estate of August Carlson,
deceased. All the morning was spent
in getting a jury which was accomplished
at noon, with the following members :
W. E. End, J. Donaldson, Amos Root,
T. G. Hayden, E. W. Trout, Alex. An
derson, E. M. Harriman, F. C. Sexton,
C. W. Rice, W. T. McClure, Chas.

A young fellow, whose name we with
hold was summarily bounced from the
ball room last night for conduct unbe
coming a gentleman. Arriving on the
street he pulled a pistol and cocked it,
and should have been killed on the spot.
v Any man who will carry a pistol in a
civilized community is a dirty coward,
and, if, added to this, he pulls it in a
crowd, killing is too good for him. The
railroad boys owe it to themselves to
bounce him from the road.
Now that the portage railroad bill
seems in a fair way to become a law our
delegation at Salem should give the water
and charter bills some earnest attention.
We have long since outgrown our present
charter and between the city charter and
the present water bill affairs are decid
edly complicated. It is now shown that
the money in the fund will not be suffi
cient to complete the work and the pass
age of the water bill and new charter is
an absolute necessity if the works are to
iie fiied.
' Vwhile the people of two centuries ago

A TALCED CORRESPONDENT.
A Word From a Resident of Thompson's
Addition Beet Safari Etc.
Editor Chronicle: Though Thomp
son's addition failed to get the shoe fac
tory it still offers greater inducements
to home seekers than any place we have
seen, not excepting North Dalles, here
we have a. deep rich soil, an abundance
of the purest water by digging from ten
to forty feet. The surface is practically
level, sloping to the north, while the
river which stretches away to the west
and northwest is unsurpassed for scenic
beauty, the soil is well adapted for rais
ing all kinds of fruits, berries and grapes
without irrigation. -. Some two thousand
trees , mostly Italian prunes have been
set out this last season ; fifteen buildings
have been erected the past year, many
of the lots having been sold to parties
who bought merely to hold for specula
tion. While traveling down Five-mile hill
recently we noticed that it was very
rough, and we thought what a fine time
it would be to fill up the low places and
make the "rough way smooth" while
the ground is moist enough to pack and
while the farmers are idle and have the
time to do it. Call them out Mr. Road
Supervisor and get the . blessings of a
grateful public.
While reading of the grand success of
the sugar beet industry in Nebraska,
we have been thinking that it would be
worth while to investigate the subject in
Wasco county. We believe the soil and
climate is well adapted to the culture
of the suar beet. Try it farmers, the
seed will be furnished you free by the
state agricultural experiment station and
they will also analyze samples sent to
tliem.

The Ball Last Night.
- The special train from Portland bring

friends to attend the ball last night

the crowd had separated, marched to
Armory.hall where the dance wa held
At a o ciock ine crowa in tne wrmory
had assumed huge proportions and when
the grand march commenced, notwith
standing the hall is 90 by 100 feet there
was hardly room for all. The music
was furnished by Professor Birgfeld's
band and was as usual the very best.
Over 400 tickets were soid here, and it
certainly looked as if every ticket holder
was there. " Supper was served by Billy
Graham and of course gave entire satis
faction. It was from every standpoint
the most successful ball given in The
Dalles in years.
The Hunt Road.
Parties from the east recently called on
the Northern Pacific management and
settled all of the claims of that company
against George W. Hunt, taking up all
the latter's notes. We learn the above
from reliable authority, who is also
responsible for the statement that work
on the road from Hunt's Junction to
Portland will be commenced in earnest
next month, at or near The Dalles, at
the Junction and at Portland, and that
the work will be crowded as fast as possi
ble. The gentleman who gave us the
above information is now in Mr. Hunt's
employ and expects to be here in charge
of the work inside of a month.
For a cut, bruise, burn or scald, there
is nothing equal to Chamberlin's Paint

than any other application, and unless
the injury ie very severe, no scar is left.

What May Be Patented.
It may be of interest to readers to
know what may be patented. A United
States patent will be granted to any per
son who has invented or discovered any
new and useful art, machine, manufact
ure, or improvement thereof, not known
or used by others in this country, and
not patented or described in any printed
publication in this or any other country,
before his discovery or invention thereof,
and not in public use nor on sale for
more than two years prior to his appli
cation, unless the same is proved to have
been abandoned.
In this connection the word "art"
means the process or method of produc
ing an old or new result. If a method
of doing anything contains one or more
new steps the process is new and patent
able. The word "machine" means any de
vice or thing by means of which a me
chanical result may be produced, such
as a pin, a churn, or a locomotive.
The word "manufacture" means a
made up article, such as furniture, cloth
ing, harness, and the thousands ot things
which are offered for sale.
"Composition of matter" means a
chemical compound of ingredients, such
as hard rubber, liquid glue, medicine,
etc
Patents may also be obtained for de
signs for manufactures and works of art.
for three, seven and ten years.
Trademarks may be registered for any
arbitrary sign or symbol which is not
descriptive; the government fee is $25.
Such marks are the exclusive property
of the registrar for thirty years, and the
time may be extended.
A "label" is any descriptive tag, print
or impression to be placed .upon any ar
ticle or its case, and it may be registered
for twenty-eight years. The government
fee for a "label" is $6: but if it contains
any special mark or symbol the office de
cides it to be a trademark instead of a
label. Youth's Companion.
Malleable Olasa.
One of the lost arts, provided it ever
existed, was the malleable glass of the
ancients. The Egyptians and the Phoe
nicians made glass for many early spec
imens remain fully 2,000 years B. C.
In the reign of Tiberius a per; on ap
peared in Rome who claimed that he had
invented inflexible glass. The story
tells that be produced a glass vase.
which he cast on the marble floor with
vehemence, so as to bend it, bnt restored
its shape with a few blows from a ham
mer, and that, at the solicitation of a
mob of artificers, who feared that the
new process might supersede the use of
their vessels of metals, the emperor re
tained the glass vase, but ordered the in
genious artist to be put to death.
Since then two or three other persons
claimed the discovery of a process for
making malleable glass, but nothing
came of it. The art, however, is scarce
ly "lost," for in the glass houses of
Murano, close to Venice, they make
glass plates which can be bent' and
thrown about without breaking, but
will not bear to be hammered. Every
one almost has seen what is called spun
glass, which you can twine round the
finger as if it were silk; but this cannot
be converted by any process into a ves
sel to hold water. Malleable glass is
not a lost, because it has .never been a
found, art. Thomas. J. Bowditch in
Troy Times.
A Rare Case.
I found Cant. Miller, of the navy
yard, wreathed in smiles when I saw
him in his office at the Lyceum.
"I have just had an amusing experi
ence,' he remarked. "I am accustomed
to being run down by politicians who
want places for their proteges and by
place seekers themselves. But today,
for the first time in my lifej I have been
waited on by a man who wished to noti
fy me that he had given up his job. He
is from the Sixth Assembly district. New
York, and was employed in the con
stracikm department at $2.50 a day. He
was appointed about three months ago.
in tendering his resignation he said
heeoold do better i private employ
ment at $1.25 than as a government
workman at twice that amount. What
with political assessments, entertaining:
his party friends, parchaseox tickets of
one kind and another, and other pulls on
his parse, he found little of his wages
left for family expenses. I, f course, ac
cepted his resignation, at the same time
jocularly informing him that he ought to
be exhibited la a dime museum. New

She was the president of a 'woman's
club and had just returned from a visit
to the famous "Sorosis." She had been
telling them what questions were dis
cussed and what was the programme of
tne evening. There were a number of
women present, and they had . all been
very much interested.
The president sat down in her chair
and waited for questions. There was a
silence for an instant, and finally a timid
voice from the background said:
"I would like to ask a question. Was
it was it a dressy crowd T"
The president jumped up and said:
"I just want to tell you! Those ladies
all had on the most beautiful bonnets.
One was a heliotrope velvet trimmed
with gold lace. And another was made
of bands of jet and pink roses (the
ladies commenced to gather around her
with enraptured expressions). "The hand

club caught a smile on the face of a
newspaper correspondent who was pres
ent. She drew herself up with great
dignity and said:
"Ladies, I think we are wandering
from the subject."
The ladies settled back, conscious of
the superior advantages of this- popular
club, but with a fleeting expression of
disappointment, that gave indication of
a willingness to "wander" still farther.

Latest Use for the Child's Hair.
When Dotty Dimple has her first thatch
of long curls cropped off her mother
doesn't gather them up one by one as she
used to do, and lay them carefully away
in a long box with an incription some
thing like this on the outside, "Dotty's
curls, cut off when she was 5 years old."
She gathers them up, to be sure, and car
ries them away with her, but the next
day or so she is seen going into a certain
hairdresser's in Twenty-third street,
where a notice prominently displayed in
the window reads, "Dolls' Wigs Made
Here." And Dotty Dimple goes with
her, of course, and carries Rosamond
Arabella or Fifine, or whatever the name
may be of the potential little lady in
bisque. And in a box the mother carries
the curls.
Then the attendant gravely measures
the bisque pate after he has first removed
the shock of flax that covered it, and
looks wise over the box of curls and says,
"Oh, yes, madam, there will be plenty
of them, I think." Madam and Dotty
Dimple go away after a great many lov
ing pats and admonitions, and in a few
days Rosamond Arabella comes home no
longer with the flaxen pate, but wearing
a lovely blonde wig of real hair hair that
curls up about her temples and down her
back just as Dotty Dimple's own does.
And that is just what it is, Dotty Dim
ple's own severed curls. And thus are
the demands of sentiment and fashion

The Appropriated Sleigh Bells in July.
The well filled stores and gaudy shop
windows of the Tmiiana. and Ohio towns
seemed to stimulate in men accustomed
to impoverished and unpretentious Dixie,
as were Morgan's raiders, the propensity
to appropriate beyond limit or restraint.
I have never before seen anything like
this disposition to plunder. Our perilous
situation only seemed to render the men
more reckless. At the same time, any
thing more ludicrous than the manner in
which they indulged their predatory
tastes can scarcely be imagined. The
weather was intensely warm the hot
July sun burned the earth to powder,

period, until the novelty had worn off,

English Women's Caps.
"You have some very curious persons
in Chicago, remarked Mrs. Tennant,
Mr. Stanley's mother-in-law. "I could
not help overhearing what one of them
said when I entered the room at the club
reception. 'There comes one of 'em,' said
the lady in a tone loud enough for me to
hear distinctly. 'There comes one of
'em; she's English, I know, for English
women when they get old always wear
tidies on their heads!' 'No, I don't know
what the American people' call 'tidies,

Use of Ammonia.
In medicine, the solution of ammonia
is employed as a means of rousing the
respiratory and vascular systems, and of
the alleviation of spasms. It is also
used as a local irritant and antacid. It
can used as a wash in water for the
scalp and in the bath without danger.
