On Tom Davidson's farm' stands an apple tree with a full crop of several bushels of last fall's apples on it. They have wintered in erfect condition and are now very good eating. They still stick tight to the tree and our real estate men are taking Oregon tomist out to show them how we keep winter apples. oaiem niaiesmen. , The biggest joke of the legislative season is on the North Dakota legislators, some of whom are alleged to have ex changed their votes . for boodle. When they quietly .presented the checks that they had received, the bank teller quietly passed them back, with the remark, "payment stopped." Aslorian. .' Harney county has ran behind $30,000 in eighteen menths. Here is what the Klamath .Star says about it : "The offi cial crowd - of Harney county have tackled their pap with large spoons. During the last eighteen months these gentlemen incurred indebtedness to the i amount of $30,000. Business is flourish ing in Harney. The taxpayers are lay- j ing out gardens everywhere, while tire tax -eaters are laying out the taxpayers." John Dillon opened an engagement at the People 8 last evening, presenting a comedy entitled, "Wanted, the Earth," to a large and enthusiastic audience. The play, as might be inferred from the title is a wide sweep in extravagance, but it appears fashioned with a view to displays Mr. Dillon's powers as an eccen tric eomediad, and he won the audience for his own, as he used to do when he wuskChicago's favorite in ante-fire days. Chicago Inter-Ocean, Aug SOth. if costs $76,000 this year to print the state laws. The common, ordinary, everyday, tax-paying people get no chance to flee those laws. They know nothing of their existence till "one of those laws is violated and they are hauled up for punishment. But they pay the $76,000 for printing them. This is one of the fool things that makes "farmers' alliances." The one thing benefitted by the present seventeenth centurv style of doing business is the state printing office. There is a rumor afloat that there are about 2000 Indians camped across the Columbia opposite the mouth of . the John Day who belong to the same tribe and are sympathisers of the two Indians in the Condon jail. It is said these In dians have made threats of going to Con don and liberating their brethren there from the county jail, and that they are waiting for the "dark of the .moon" to do bo. Sheriff' Wilcox was notified of the report, We understand, by a reliable citizen of Blalock, and the sheriff has notified the militia of the county that he will- call them out in case these In dians come to Condon on said mission. It is also reported that John Scott and Goo. West have joined the Indians in jail in the "ghost dance," and while it is a. matter of , some speculation as to what the feeling of the warriors down on the Columbia is, there is no doubt but those at Condon, including Scott and West, would like to "break out." Fos sil Journal. The Military Spirit. ' . Competitive drills between the mili tary companies have a tendency to ele vate the national guard service and ought to be encouraged. The state of Oregon has a special pride in the national guard organization because it is composeu of the flower of the land, and it is the state's main dependence in case of war or of domestic violence. ACCOrd- lntv t i ii .1 offVkrurkti Inn i 1 ( u t.Vio trntifn- teer militia is the only army a republic needs ; Vet, it is proper that the militia should be kept in .training and thus be in. readiness for any sudden emergency. It is likewise a good policy to keep the martial spirit alive among the young men of the country. The chivalric ideas associated with a military lite always exert an elevating influence. Your true soldier is always the true gentleman. The sense of honor is exceptionally high in military circles. The brave man is invariably the manly man. Thus, aside from the public advantage in keeping up a state military organization, the effect on the social life of the community' is beneficial. ' . John Dillon.

'The Jugular monthly 'meeting of The Dalles city council was held last evening in the city hall. There were present Mayor Moody and councilmen Farley, Hansen, Dufur, Peters and Blakeley. A petition for an arc light on Court street was read and on motion referred to the committee on streets and public property. .. . , : A petition for an arc light and cross walk on Ninth and Lincoln streets was similarly disposed of.

A petition for a sewer "on Laughlin street was read and on motion the city engineer was instructed to make esti mates "of the cost and report to next meeting of the council." The petition of F. W. L. Skibbe for a liquor license was granted. On motion the street commissioner was instructed to make an estimate of the Third street grade between Union and Lincoln streets.

Permission was granted the water commissioners' to move their office oil Fourth street to the city lot north of the recorders office. The re corder was instructed to notify the city surveyor to make a survey and establish the grade on Xintth and Clay streets. The report of the special committee on bonding Dulles City was read and placed on file. . . An ordinance providing for the sub mission of the proposed issuance of twenty-five thousand dollars of water bonds, to the legal voters of Dalles City, was read and passed unanimously. The time of holding the said election was fixed for April 13th proximo. The fol lowing persons were appointed as clerks and judges of said election : For the first ward the judges are Chas.

THE 'EW CITY ORDINANCE. An ordinance entitled an ordinance to . provide for the submission of the pro posed issuance of twenty five thousand dollars of water bonds to the legal voters of Palles city. Whebeas, the legislative assembly of the state of Oregon, at its. last biennial session passed an act authorizing Dalles city to issue its taxable bonds to -the amount of $25,000 for the purpose of completing and perfecting the water sys tem for said city, now in process of con-, struction and providing for the submis sion of the snme to the tax paying voters of said city : and Whebeas, the city is indebted to .the water fund in about that sum for money belonging to said fund which .has been used by. the city for other purposes and which has never been refunded. Now Thebefobe, the people of Dalles c ity do ordain as follows : Section 1 . That a special election be held in Dalles city on the 13th day of April 1891, which election shall be "held in the manner in which other city elec tions are held, at which election the proposition to issue the bonds of said city to the amount of $25,000 shall be submitted to the voters of said city who are qualified to vote thereon under the provisions of the act. Sec. 2. Said election shall be "held at the usual voting places in the different wards of said city and the polls shall open and close at the same hour as other city elections, and. a like number, of judges and clerks, shall be appointed by . the j same omcers ana in tne same manner as in such other elections y and the recorder of said city shall give ten days notice of said election in the same manner as notice is given for other city elections. Sec. 3. The ballots to be used at said election shall be obtained by the recorder at the expense of the city and shall con Lain the words : "Shall the city bonds for the completion of the water works, to the amount of twenty-five thousand dol lars be ipsued?" and immediately below said . words shall be - provided a blank space ; and if the voter desires to cast his ballot in favor of issuing the same he shall write the word "Yes" thereon, but if he shall desire to vote against the issuance of the same he shall insert the word "No." Sec. 4. Said vote shall be canvassed as in other city elections, and if it shall be found that a majority of the legal voters at said election have voted in the affirmative, then said bonds shall be is sued and sold as by law provided, and the proceeds thereof shall be turned over and become a part of the water fund of said city as provided by the act afore said. ' Sec. 5. It is further provided that, upon the sale of said bonds and the re cei pt of the proceeds thereof by the water fund,, the claim of said water fund against the city for- money belonging to said fund heretofore appropriated to other purposes shall be fully satisfied and discharged... - ........... The Oregonian says the statement that in Kansas and Nebraska a mortgage falls due every ten months is significant not more.of the sagacity-and greed of the money lender, however, than of the folly of the borrower. The man who mort gages his land without intelligently pro viding against the day of reckoning that is one, three or five years away, has no right to complain if the. mortgage he was . eager to secure and the equivalent of which he has used is foreclosed at fhe ex piration of the specified time. In calling attention to a condition of this kind, and exclaiming, in tones of pity, that verge upon the tragical, "Lo, the poor farmer !" the political sensationalist exposes a lack of prudence and forethought in those Western farmers that weakens mater ially the point that he attempts to make. - A rUTE ESTABLISHMENT. The Furniture Store . and I'ndertaklng ' Establishment of Crandall and ". Barget. Fours years ago in a little "hole in the wall" on Second street near Washington Mr. I. I. Burget and Chas. Jesse. Cran dall opened a furniture store and two months later in April, 1887 the firm of Crandall & Burget branched out into the undertaking business. The. firm rapidly made friends and grew into popularity, and today at No. 166 Second street they have three floors of a 26x100 brick block, packed to repletion with everything carried in first class furniture rooms. Their stock is complete, in every partic ular. They 'manufacture their ' own lounges and do a' good deal of upholstery work, butlheif.. furniture is purchased in Portland and "from Eastern manufac turers'. '"Their light ash sets are obtain ed in' Portland and they find it to te a fact that'Oregon ash is superior 'to and sells' better than Eastern goods'of the same "description; which is' just one evidence of the well-known fact that in many things Oregon leads the world. ''as funeral "di'bectoks. Crandall and Burget have coine to the front more rapidly in their undertaking department than anything else and they stand today far in the lead in that line of business, and nearly every fine funeral in The Dalles for the last year has been managed by these popular gentlemen. They are both practical embalmers and make a specialty of that kind of work, and their success has been so marked in embalming that they feel they can con fidently guarantee anything they consent to undertake in that line. We are glad to know that have liecome known as the leading funeral directors for they are deserving of their success. Crandall & Burget find in looking over their books that they did a much larger business during March of this year than they did last, and augur from that that while the times are regarded as dull in this section at present, the volume of general business is increasing from year to year. . We are glad to chronicle the success of so live a firm as the one at present under discussion, and to know that fair dealing and keeping abreast of the times will establish a firm on a solid basis as well in The Dalles as any other city in the land. We Ought to Exhibit. A movement is on foot to hold a con vention of Eastern Oregon county judges to devise ways and means for making a suitable exhibit at the world's fair. Whether the movement will accomplish any practical results we know not, but one thing we do know, the state of Ore gon cannot afford to remain the butt of ridicule and contempt for a whole nation by refusing to make some provision for an exhibit worthy of her resources.
