Since our article in the Chboniclk
a few days ago, several have asked us to
again call the attention of the city fathers
to the propriety of covering ' our ( main
business streets with coal cinders from
the mouth of Mill Creek. The intersec
tion of Second and Washington, where
these cinders have been already used
seems to prove that this method of im
proving our street would be a complete
success. ' .

. The Chronicle seconds the motion
(Ed.) ; . .....
Tne Forfeited Lands.
The following is the form of applica
tion, approved by the commission of the
general land office, for the purchase of
railroad lands under the forfeiture act :
U. S. Land Officb, The Dalles, Ob- ;
... . .... 1891 .'
I,. . . . , of County, Oregon, hereby
file my application to purchase, ander
the Act of Congress approved September
29, 1890, the of Section No.
,- in Township Ho, . : , of Kange so.
. . . W. M., subject to entry in the U. S.
Land Office at The Dalles, Oregon, and
containing.". ; .Acres. And I hereby de
clare my intention to purchase and pay
for the 'same, and to fulfill all - the re
quirements of the law, and in the time
prescribed by the said Act of Congress.
And in support of my said application,
I do solemnlv swear : That I, Citi
zen of the United" States of America,
over the age of 21 years'. That I settled
on the said tract of land, which I apply
to purchase, on: the. . day of 18.. I.
That I have been in full and peaceable
possession of all the said tract of land
ever since and to the present time.
That I apply to purchase the said tract
of land in good faith . for my own use,,
and not for the use ' .or benefit of any
other person " or persons. That I have
not made any agreement, hy- .which the,
title which "I inajr acquire from - the
United States to this land shall inure in
whole or in part to any person or persons
whatsoever. That I settled upon the
said tract of land with the expectation
of purchasing the same from the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company if they
should obtain title to the same. .
The Third regiment O. N. G., are out
with announcements for a grand military,
ball and entertainment to be given at
the armory on the evening of .April 3d
prox. The cards state that the enter
tainment is "for the benefit of the Third
regiment band." The readers of the
Chronicle will recollect that we gave, a
few days ago, a short description of the
new band uniform, which has been pur
chased at- a cost of over $450. Of this
sum the state allows $200. The balance
must be met- by' the boys -themselves.
The entertainment- is" intended as ' an
effort to wipe out this indebtedness
The band, as well as regiment, is a credit
and an honor to the town. s Every. lover
of good music and every citizen who feels
a pride in the . fact that our band bovs
are the best uniformed handsomest lot
of boys, and best musicians in the state,
will feel it a duty and a pleasure to con
tribute to the financial, success of the
entertainment. A whole lot of honest,
hard work has' been done to bring the
band to its present perfection. This
means money and. time given , freely.
The charming' open air bncerts which
the boys gave last summer and which
they" propose Ttor eontiiiue'during" the
coming one, are alone worth ten times
more than is needed to-place the. band
out of debt. 5 H 'you ;cHnbt Attend yon
can buy a ticket and we heartily bespeak
forytbem a successful entertainment. ; .-.

" ' " A Clever Colti.1 '' " " " -
T. Sidney Cooper, the English antrrral
painter, says that he often, made valua
ble studies in Cumberland, at places
where Scotch drovers halted with their
cattle for the night. On such occasions
he often had a chance to see iHast;
tions of an animal's intelligence, as well
as of its physical perfection. r . ,
One day, when there was a pouring
rain, a man consented to sit for me at
the inn. where I was staying. . '. He
brought his collie with him, and both of
them were dripping wet; so he put off
his plaid and laid it on the floor by the
dog.
I made very successful sketch of the
man, bat before I had finished it the dog
grew fidgety with the wet plaid, and his
master said, "Tak it awa, man, tak' it
- The dog took the end of it between his
teeth and dragged it oat of the room.
After I had finished the drover's por
trait I asked him if he -thought his dog
would lie quiet for a time, as I wished
to sketch him. ;.; ; .
Oh, yes, mon,"- he answered,' 'hell
do Anything I say to - him. ' Watch!
Watch!" be called, and then "whosOed"
for him, as the Scotch say.- -
' - As the dog did not appear, we went to
gether to look for him, and found him
sitting before the kitchen fire with the
end- of the plaid in his mouth, holding it
np to dry. I expressed jny admiration
of his intelligence, and the master re
plied: '
"An, he's a canny, creature, sir! He
knows a mony things, does that dog, sir.
But come awa', mon, the gentleman
wants to mak your picture." - -
So we returned to my room, and the
handsome collie sat for his portrait.
Improved Chair for Theatres. -
To the theatre managers of this
country, is commended a new form of
chair for use in theatres, music halls.
etc., which is now being introduced into
England.1 This ' chair is already in -use
in several theatres in Germany, and is
intended not only to prevent panic in'
case of fire, etc., by enabling the audi
ence to gain the exit doors more easily
than hitherto, but also to allow officials
of the theatres and members of the audi
ence to move ' with freedom rrom one
place 'to another.
For this purpose the seat and back of
the chair are free to move, and are con
nected suitably together, so that by
means of a counterbalance weight a
mere ' touch of the hand will cause the
seat and the back to move simoltaneoas-
ly on hinges to a vertical position, the
seat by raising and the back by lower
ing,' thereby allowing free passage along'
or through' the tiers. The very idea of
such a device, when the absurd' amount
of inconvenience and annoyance suffered
in comparative patience by the ordinary
theatregoer is considered, raises up vis
ions of comfort and pleasure which it
seems hard to believe will ever be real
ixed. New York Telegram.
,-;A Very 'Wide Awake Kyaw
A man of the shabby genteel' order
went into the reading room of one of the
hotels, and seating himself in an easy
chair drew a paper from his pocket. . He
held the paper before him, and while his
left eye remained closed he appeared to
be reading. Time slipped by, and it was
several hours before, tne watchman was
attracted to him. ' . During the next hour
the. fellow never' moved, and with . fear
and trembling the watchman went to
his side,, '"" ' . ' ,f ".,-",' ' . ., , . -;
, The,. right eye gated mechanically at
the paper, and, fearing that its owner
had died in that position,' several of the
employes of . the hotel gathered around
him.' He was given a rough shake,
which brought him to his feet, and ex
planations followed. The man had no
money and did not want to.. walk the
street in the pelting rain. His right eye
was an artificial one, and by holding a
paper in front of him and closing his left
optic, he could sleep, while to all appear
ances he was treading. Providence Teie-gmn-
