LOCAL BREVITIES.
Ir. A. P. S to well, .of Goldendale, was
in the city yesterday.
Some eople know a good thing when
they pee it, and a cemetery is not always
a lonely place.
The Congregationists will giye a social
at the residence of Mr. B. S. Huntington
next Friday night.
James Fulton of Ten mile lost his
youngest daughter Bessie last Friday
night of membraneous croup.
H. W. Nuchols, C. W. Malette, Harry
Morris, H. Heppner and Mr. Weeks, of
Albinu, were in the city Sunday.
We are pleased to hear that the son of
Hon. E. B. Dufur, who was quite sick
for the past two days, is very much
better.
The Pacific Fence Works received to
day fro m Sellwood a car load of dressed
and rough pickets to be manufactured
into fencing which they propose to sell
at prices to suit the times.
W. H. Coraon is moving out of town
today to his ranch on Five Mile. His
extensive pasture is now open to receive
horses and other animals for any length
of time during the coming season.
Captain John Lewis, the genial regis-,
ter of the Land Office feels awfully
proud of the handsome compliment paid
to him the other day. A stranger from
the country mistook him for the late
county assessor!
The Dalles is improving some
what of late, and has added another
metropolitan attraction to a long list of
conveniencs for the traveling public.
It is a vehicle of. the Irish jaunting, car
persuasion and is presided over by the
genial Messrs. Gibons and Howe.
It is said that the only persons en
titled to use the pronoun "we," when
speaking of themselves are editors, kings
and persons who are afflicted with tape
worm." We understand now why some
men who are not editors yet run news
papers and use the word freely. They
have tapeworm.
Mr. K. H. Norton's surveying party
are all here and everything is ready for
the commencement of the survey of the
road to the Fossil coal fields, just as
soon as Mr. Norton has recovered suf
ficiently from an attack of sickness. We
are pleased to see him again on the
street and to receive his assurance that
the work will commence in a few days.
City Assessor C. W. Dietzel informs us
that he has, for the first time in the
history of The Dalles, obtained a com
plete list of the ownership of every lot in
the city. This will ensure the assess
ment of some valuable property to cer
tain non-resident taxpayers, who have
always, to a very great extent, evaded
taxation altogether. The amount of city
propei ty which will be thus placed on
the next city assessment roll, cannot be
worth less than $100,000.
Captain H. Anlauf, who has just re
turned to this city from Walla Walla,
communicates the following :
At 6 o'clock yesterday morning an
alarm of fire waked up the fire laddies at
Walla Walla. The flames were issuing
from a building on Main street, near
First. A Chinese wash house, saddle and
harness shop, store and wagon shop were
destroyed. The loss is estimated at
$7,500. The boys worked nobly and saved
the fine brick building adjoining.
The facilities of the Time-Mounlaineer
office will-be sadly strained, to put in
type all the new names that are being
applied to the Chko.siclk man. The
latest, which are the fruit of the invent
ive genius of Representative McCoy, de
serve a little attention. He is called a
"fledgling" when he is old enough to be
Mr. McCoy's father which he is not, and
for which he is devoutly thankful. But
he was a "cheap clerk" of committee at
the last legislature. Oh the pity of it 1
This is the crime of all crimes ; the sum.
of all villanies ! He ought to have owned
a railroad warehouse, wear a railroad
collind travel on a pass.
A meeting of the city council was hel d
Saturday evening, in the recorder's
office, at which the mayor and all the
members were present excepting Mr.
Dufnr who was unable to attend owing
to the sickness of his son Burnham.
Mr. Dufur, who had been appointed to
examine the features of the new water
bill and report, sent a message inform
ing the council of his inability to attend
and asking postponement till he would
be able to be present. Bids for the new
sewer were opened when it was found
that John Kaseberger and John Elton
were the two lowest bidders ; the former's
bid being the lump sum of $440, and the
latter'e being 80 cents a lineal foot for
684 feet. The bids were referred to the
city engineer who will report to the city
officers. The council adjourned to the
31st instant. v ,
We have ii, on what is believed good
authority, that 50,000 feet of lumber has
been ordered to this city to repair the
car shops.
Tom Kelley, of the Umatilla House,
lost one of his finest horses the other
day. It had only been sick one day.
He is unable to tell what was the
matter.
All signs point to a large crop in
Klickitat this year, but the people need
a large crop more this year that ever
before,- as the railroad and school land
will take almost or quite $'200,000 out of
the county during the next two years.
AitCKitai jeaaer.
Two car loads of cattle des titled for
Portland were fed today at the stock
yards. They came from La Grande. . A
car load of Wasco county horses were
shipped yesterday to the same destina
tion. A gentleman from the country started
in to paint the town yesterday evening.
At a hite hour last night the contract
had cost him, besides a damaged reputa
tion and a big headache, the loss of his
coat and a purse containing $135.
The Spokane Chronicle says of G. M.
Pullman, the man who makes the Pull
man cars and is worth $12,000,000, that
he came into the world "without a cent
in his pocket.'' That's as much as say
ing that in early life George was a tramp.
Do you want a job? The government
wants to contract with some one to
carry the United States mail from Sitka,
Alaska, to Unaluska, Alaska, and back
once a month. The distance is 1250 miles.
A bond is required from the successful
bidder in the sum of $25,000.
Mr. E. L. Hedstrom, of Buffalo, New
York, arrived in this city this morning.
He leaves tomorrow for the Fossil coal
fields, accompanied by members of the
board of trade and other interested
parties. On Mr. Hedstrom's opinion of
the new coal mines will depend whether
this city will have a line of railroad
reaching there or not.
Yesterday forenoon a number of armed
men led by the deputy sheriff of Gilliam
county left Arlington for the purpose of
arresting three men who are supposed to
be hiding from justice on an island in
the Columbia river nearly opposite
Castle Rock. One was charged with
committing rape, another with horse
stealing and the third is an escaped
prisoner from Goldendale. No further
report has reached us at the time of
going to press.
The last number of the West Shwe at
hand, has the appearance of a severe
attack of la grippe, and that, badly.
Ever since Mr. Samuels' dismissal, the
Prideof Oregon, in illustrated journalism,
has had this curse of affliction thrust up
on it, and has applied as a remedy "ama
teur photographiture" display, and other
attempted features of that class which is
neither attractive or worthy of the space
they occupy ; we are sorry to say, at this
geometrical progressive rate of shrinkage.
We fear its motto will be non est. Oh !
give us the old West Shore.
Nichols and Garrison who have a
stock ranch on the John Day river,
abo.ut a mile and a half from its mouth,
have lost nearly eleven hundred dollars
worth of horses besides some cattle dur
ing the past week. Some miscreant has
not only placed poison on the range but
actually entered the stable and poisoned
some of the horses there. The man in
charge came near dying himself, from
the effects of what he believes to have
been poison, administered he knows not
how.
A very sad fatality seems to follow the
Scottowe family, which, it will be
remembered, were the ' victims of a
disaster in this city last fall, when the
head of the family lost his life by step
ping off the incline west of the Umatilla
House. Dr. Reinhart has just received
a letter from Mr. J. C. Scottowe, son of
the old gentleman who was killed here,
and who will be remembered by many
of our citizens, informing him of the
death of his young wife, of heart trouble,
on the 10th instant, at her home at Sun
shine, W. T. She left a babe of sixteen
days old. Her remains were shipped to
Scotland accompanied by Mrs. Rad
mond and the child. The elder Mrs.
Skottowe who was injured here is in Ire
land and is still bedfast with little hope
of recovery. ' -
It is believed there is nothing hand
somer in the state than the uniform of
the band boys of the Third regiment of
O. N. G., of this city. The boys them
selves are delighted as they have reason
to be. The drum majors' is exceedingly
beautiful, not to say gorgeous and magni
ficent. The coat is Prince Albert cut, of
scarlet cloth, with white facings slashed
with gold, with an elaborate display of
gold aiguillettes set with jewels, and gold
epaulettes. The pants are of light blue
cloth, with white trimmings edged with
gold. The hat is a black bear skin
shako, with gold tassel studded with
jewels. The baton is polished, mahog
any witH gold cord and tassels and gold
head. The privates' uniform is made of
blue cloth with light blue trimmings and
blue and white facings and epaulettes.
The belts are white enameled leather
with silver monogram "Third regiment"
on the buckles. The whole outfit cost
$450, of which the state contributes $200
and the balance has to be footed by the
band lads themselves.

Notice of Explanation.
There appeared a notice in yesterday's
Times-Mountaineer from our - worthy
compeditorp, The Dalles Ice Co. We
wish to state that a part pertaining to
The Columbia Ice Co. is untrue and
without foundation. We sold them
about as much ice last season as they
sold us. The amount bought or Bold by
either party was not enough to make
mention of and which was only done for
convenience to both parties. We do not
wish to make any talk of this but simply
state facts. As we have been engaged
in the business three years we wish to
inform the public that we are not or
never did depend on any one-horse con
cern for ice, and furthermore that we
never allowed our ice houses to stand
idle, whinh nn nt.Ksr ioo nnu.
existing in this city can say. Our
wiiiuu appear in tne daily papers
are not intended for a slur on anv ice
company and will say we think "they
have no reason to take offence at them
unless the shoe fits, if so let them wear
it. Respectfully, Columbia Ice Co.
W. S. Cram, Manager. '

linquent list. The county court has

On Sunday afternoon the neighbors
and friends of James and Georgiana
F ulton," on Ten Mile, gathered from miles
around to attend the funeral of their
daughter, Bessie Priscilla, who passed
from this life to the home beyond, on
the morning of Friday the 14th inst.,
aged 6 years and 7 months. She was the
light and joy of the household and be
loved by all who knew her.
"There is o Reaper, whose name is Death.
And with his sickle keen.
He reaps the bearded (train at n breath
And the flowers that frrowB between."
"Shall I have nmifrht that is fair, saith he?
Have naught but the bearded irrain? '
Though the breath of these flowes is sweet to me,
I will jrive them all back again."
- "He gazed at the flowers with tearful eves.
He kissed their drooping leaves
It was for the Lord of Paradise,
He bound them in his sheaves."
"My I.nrd has need of these flowerets gay,
The reaper said and smiled;
Dear tokens of earth they are.
Where He was once a child."
"They shall bloom in a Held of light.
Transplanted bv mv care,
And saints, ujion their garments white
These sacred blossoms wear."
"And the mother gave, In tears and pain,
The flowers she most did love,
She knew she should find them all again
In the field of light above."
. "O, not in cruelty, not in wrath.
The reaper came that dav,
Twas an angel visited the green eirth,
And took the flower away."
