for wanting to sell, that it is part of his
present financial policy to dispose of all
of his holdings of that nature throughout
the state and that if the Astoria built
other water works he would have them
to buck against and of course could not
expect to have so much revenue from
his property as it has hitherto yielded.
A Pine Concert at the Congregational
Chnrch In the Kvenlna;. .
. - The '-Congregational church of this

Were laid - under contribution and the
floral effect was fine. Mrs. D. E. Thomp
son, of Los Angeles, sent 130 calla HI lies
by . express to the church, as well as
sprays of orange blossoms and cuttings
from pepper trees. Mr. and Mrs. Mc
Donald, now of Seatle, sent from San

Brown, one of the Sabbath School scholars
of the church, brought a large quantity
of ferns and boughs for decorations from
Hood River, aud the many friends of the
society sent in vases, flowers and 1 plants
until the whole interor of the church
blossomed into beauty; Over the choir
alcove was a festoon of green, in the
Center of which was a beautiful ', floral
ciown, while on the wall opposite of the
entrance were the words "Christ is
Risen," also in evergreens. The letters
were very artistic and were the handi-,
work of Mr. Ainsworth, of French &
Co's. bank. Miss Ive Brooks was chair
man of the committee on decoration
and the work- was all exquisitely done
under her direction.
In the evening the church was packed
to listen to the exercises. A song by the
school was first on the proganiine. It
was followed by a prayer by the pastor
Mr. Curtis, after which an anthem by,
the choir, "Consider the Lillies," was
given in a manner that showed much
careful practice and was indeed a treat
for the audience. Mrs. Blanche Patter
son was the accompanist which left no
thing to be desired. . s
"The Seven Fishers" was the title of a
recitation by Master- Edward Baldwin,
which came next on the programme and
was well given. This was followed by a
song by the schooland Master Vard
McFarlai'id gave the audience a treat
by a recitation in excellent voice and
manner.
"Ashamed of Jesus' a solo by Mr.
Ernst, the chorister, was most excellent
ly rendered. He was in good voice and
the selection was fine and a pleasing one.
Miss Story gave a recitation "The Agony
at Gethsemane," which was well re
ceived, after which an ' anthem by the
choir "Nearer My God to Thee," was
sung.' " ' . . ; .
Bright little Patty Baldwin came next
for a recitation and gave a ''Child's-Easter
Thoughts'' as her effort; It was well
done and the little Miss deserves praise
for her excellent work; -. ' "
- Miss Maie Williams of the choir sang
a solo ''Over the stars there ia rest," in
manner that showed the exquisite flexi
bility and timbre of her voice.' ;;Xt was a
rare treat to those assembled and added
much to the pleasure of the entertain
ment. -
Winterton Curtis recited the "Burial
of 'Moses," in- his best manner. He is
always perfect in his recitations but his
effort last night was far above the aver
age. A short and instructive address on
Easter was given in closing by Superin
tendent B. S. Huntington, and the
Bendiction was passed on what had
been a very entertaining and satisfactory
Easter service. '
i ..-AT THK M, E., GHUKCH. .- , . r :
The Easter service at the M. E. Church
yesterday, was a very pleasant affair.
The floral decoration, - while neither
elaborate nor expensive, was quite in
harmony with ' the occasion, and did
credit to the artistic taste of the com
mittee. The music was delightful, and
a solo by Myrtle Michell was ; the' musi
cal feature of the occasion. Recitations
by Teel D. Traveller,. Lorene- Lee, and
Master Hugh Frazer; were well rendered.
Pledges and a collection were taken
for the missionary cause, amounting, in
all to about $80.
In the evening the pastor preached
from the words of Mark xvi :6, "He is
risen." The discoure was mainly a re
view of the proofs of that wonderful
event the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Mrs. Stowell sang a solo which was
highly appreciated ? .- v , ,
; The pastor announced "another revival
service to begin- next Thursday at 7 :30
pi rn. Rev. Ford, of Dayton, will be
present to assist.

A New Hand Stand.
rThe elderiMr. CrandalP has drawh-a
very neat design for a band stand which
the -citizens of The Dalles intend to build
for the use of the band "boys during the
summer evenings just as soon as they
are able to procure the right to a suit
able location for it. It is an octagon
figure fourteeu feet in.diameter, with
wainscoting on 'the outside reaching six
feet from the ground and eight feet from
the top of the wainscoting to the eve, or
fourteen feet in full height. The enter
on; i-will be from''a'doOr tn the";"6ide
reaching to the center from whence steps
will lead to the stand- proper . - The -roof
will be in form bf'a minaret' surmounted
by a handsome flag pole. ... It is intended
to be lighted by electricity and ' will be
an ornament -to the place -on which it
happens to find a1 location. -We know
not what the powers that be may think
about it bat there is one place above 'all
others where it ought to be located and
that is on the open space on the east Bide
of the court house building, and we hope
the connty officials may see the matter
in t'e same light and grant permission,
if it be so desired, to place it there.

DEUGS AT A FEEMIUH.
Brief History of a Leading; Draf House
of The Dalles.
It is the intention of the Chboniclk
to write up a short discription of . the
different business houses of this city, and
of its various manufactories - and thus
spread that information to the world.
As f ast as time and space will permit
this object will be pursued until all . are
reached. In pursuance of such course
we today have looked over the drug
house of
SNIPES 4 KINKRSI.Y
And give a few facts in regard to that ex
tensive concern. The firm is composed
of Ben E. Snipes and O. Kinersly. Ben
is one of the well-known characters of
Eastern Oregon, a man full of pluck and
daring, who was one of t he . early-; stock
men of this part of the country and with
whose deeds of bravery '? and' various es
capades all the old settlers are familiar,
and many of Ben's doings have passed
into legends. He has won a fair .share
of this world's goods and is yet in active
life and bids fair to ' largely augment
them.' He is now a resident of Seattle,
but will always retain a warm spot in
his heart for The Dalles.
Mr. O. Kinerely is the resident partner
and has the entire management of what
has grown to be a fine business. He is
a young man with a level head and full
of pluck and resource, and every year
the business is growing in volume under
his skillful handling.
THE BCSINK8S
Was established in 1864 by H. J.
aldron, who ran it until January 15,
1879, when it was purchased by Snipes
& Kinersly. Their store is 30x100 feet
and three floors are constantly packed
full of goods. They are in the heart of
the city on Second street between Wash
ington and Court streets, and their loca
tion could not be improved. The store
room is a' very handsome one and is
filled with everything that can be
thought of in the line of drugs and
patent medicines, as well as artist mater
ials, toilet and fancy goods. Their trade
in cigars is a large one. They carry
Key. West, imported goods ' and many
favorite brands of choice cigars, and
many of our smokers drop in there for
the fragrant weed. ; .
THEIR WHOLESALE TBADK
Is a large one. Snipes & Kinersly buy
direct from the patent medicine and
drug manufacturers and as ' they have
capital to buy extensively, have built up
a large wholesale trade. They have a
number of customers : at Prineville and
on up . the - country for 250 miles, and
their customers are constantly increas
ing." fThe firm carries a stock of about
$40,000 and all' doing a business of some
$50,000 per year with a fair prospect of
greatly increasing that amount in the
near future. ' ' ,
THE EMPLOYES.
Mr. F. J. Clark is the book-keeperj
whlle; ?Mf. B. i L. Simmons and.! Mr.
Donnell are salesmen. All are popular
and obliging, and draw much trade to
the concern. 1 They are all good fellows
and have the Chronicle's consent to
hold their positions till The Dalles has
50,000 inhabitants or they grow rich
enough to set up large establishments in
North and West Dalles. ; :
It is with pleasure that we can point
to the growth and success of as fine an
establishment as that of Snipes & Kiner
sly 's and we hope from time to time to
chronicle their increase- of trade and
popularity. The trade of the country
around us make such establishments a
necessity and it speaks well for all that
they are so successful.
Some Fine Workmanship.
W. E. Garretson, the popular watch
maker and jeweler of this city, has now
on exhibition in one of his show windows
a sample of his own handiwork as a
practical -jeweler which may well sur
prise those who are unaware that jewel
settings in the very highest style of that
art can be performed right at our own
door. Some time ago conductor Jim
Carey of Fidalgo became possessed of
three samples of American ruby picked
up somewhere near La Grande, in this
state. . They are of - a beautiful wine
color of a purple tinge and Mr. Caiey,
wishing to make a present to his wife in
the form of a set of earrings and ' brooch,
placed them in the hands of Mr. Garret
eon. -The latter had them dressed in
Chicago,' and oh 'their . return he pro
ceeded to give them a setting in a very
chaste , and elegant design of fourteen
karet gold.' The result is as pretty a 'set
as any lady could desire. The work
was, of course, all done by hand and is a
credit both to the workman and the city.
