City The Chronicle is the Only Paper in The Dalles that Receives the Associated 1 Press Dispatches. WISLOM JUSTIFIED. The people of this city are (o be con gratulated on the harmony that was manifested in the election that took place last Monday when the tax-payers with practical unanimit?' voted the necessary funds for completing the wa ' ter works. . It is something, for which those who seek the city's properity should be devoutly thankful, that this disturb ing factor of the citv's harmony has at last been fairly taken out of the way, and we may confidently hope, that as time rolls on the wisdom of those who adopted the gravity system will receive further and constant justification. While there will be a bonded indebtedness of $125,000 there is everv assurance of an ample income and resources by which every obligation can be met without in creasing the prevailing rates to water consumers.- More than this, there is ' every probability that after the first, in stalment of $25,000 that falls due four years from now, shall have been paid, the existing water rates can be reduced s much as one-third of their present cost, and that the income will still pro vide as it does now, formll expenses, for - the interest and the sinking fund. It is based on the careful calculations of those thoroughly familiar with the subject. --The income from water rents for the month of January' was' $826 ; ' for Febru ary it was $876 ; for March it was $892. A low estimate for April will give $850 while May, June, July and August, the mon ths when considerable water is used for irri gation, the income will not fall short of 11000" a month. By September it is ; hoped' the works will be completed when an increased income' will' be cer tain 'to ensue; which may be safely 1 placed at 'a yearly average of one thbus and to twelve hundred dollars a month 'The gross expenses to be deducted from 1 this amount do not at present exceed $125 a month,' and will not be increased 'when the works 'are completed. . The prevailing rates for water rent are on an average as low as tfcey evr were, and lower than'wheh the 'city was smaller, and there is not the slightest probability that they will ever be higher. The net income from these rents for the current -year call hot fall for' short of ten thousand dollars, while the interest on the bonds already issued is six thousand, leaving ; four thousand for the sinkingfund. The new water bill provides that any money in the water fund not needed to pay in terest or the- principal of the city debt can be loaned out on short time at not less than eight per cent, per annum. ' It is safe to say that the profits thus ac quired will help considerably towards paying the interest on the bonds. ' There is at present in the hands of the city treasurer about $20,000 to the credit of the water fund. In addition to this the water fund, as is well known, has prop erty in Gates' addition that is reason- ably worth $50,000, and this property cannot be diverted to any other use. ' . It was granted to the city by the United fctates, government lor water purposes only. Besides the city owes , the water fund about $17,000 principal and interest of money received from the sale of prop erty belonging to the water fund but mis-appropriated to the use of the .city ; so that the debt owed by the water fund will only be increased $8,000, by the is suance of the new bonds. The. remain ing $17,000 will be added to the debt of the city and credited into the water fund The total indebtedness of the water fund . when the new bonds are issued will therefore be $108,000. The interest this amount at six per cent is $6,480 a year while the net income from water rents will still leave not far from $4,000 aJ vear, fend perhaps more to go to the sinking fund.' The old water works might be cheap or they might be dear but thev paid to their, late owners ten per cent on a cap ital of $75,000. Had the city adopted the pumping system she would' have this property t compete with . backed by more capital than all the men in The Dalles are ' possessed of. We should then have had a system that would have cost the city an annual expenditure according to engineer Lowes estimates of $14,429,62 a year interest included, at a cost of not less ' than $116,702,88 with - an income that would have fallen so far short by meeting the expenses that it would have eventually . forced us into the necessitv of purchasing the old plant to get nu oi me competition or a riven the city into hopeless bankruptcy From these calamities the wisdom of the council has 'happily delivered us and time has justified and will continue to approve their action. Be it enacted by tlu Legislative Assembly of the State of Oregon: CHAPTER V. OF THE OFFICERS OF THE CORPORATION. Sec. 41.

An Od4 Accomplishment The women of New York society are In many cases accomplished in very odd ways, and a party of men the other night passed an interesting quarter .'of." an hour in re calling some of. the uncommon talents, of their feminine acquaintances. One, band some young woman was an adept in blow ing the coaching horn; another was a very successful carver of onyx; one of the most sedate young ladies in town danced a clog to perfection; a dutiful and beautiful wife made all her husband's trout flies, and her husband was renowned as a successful fisherman; a rather slim and wiry girl, famous for her waltzing, was a scientific boxer, and could give her. clever brother a breezy four-round battle; a lady who rode in the park, each day occasionally showed to her: friends in the country, bow she could stand on the back . of a cantering horse. These and a half hundred other wondrous performances were told of wom en by the men that knew them, amid great applause. Finally, a young fellow who had been listening lazily to the conversa tion spoke up in drawling tones, and the attention of the company became riveted upon him. ',-"1 knew a far more extraordinary girl than any you have mentioned, once upon a time," said he. "She was the sister of a classmate of mine at college. Rich I think. . Very swell. Blonde girl, tall and straight and jolly, for I used to go rowing with her when I visited 'em up the river. Pull a powerful oar, too, and was clever other ways. One of her talents, though, was certainly remarkable. I never fonnd it , out until I had known ber for three weeks. Never paraded it. Seemed to take it as a matter of course. . "When I did hear of it at last I spoke to her father about it, and he agreed with me that it was a very rare accomplishment in a girl. Not that it was especially needed in women, but there were emergencies when it might come into play. I was rather struck with the charm of the thing. In fact, it rather clinched the good opinion I had already formed of the girl, and I asked her to marry me. The wedding will be in two months." There was a pause. The speaker appar ently went into a reverie that he had no in tention of disturbing. Finally a howl went up. ' "Well, what is the wonderful accom plishment of this girl, Billy?" Billy roused himself and looked about at the faces of friends. "Oh, didn't I tell you?" he said. "Why, she can cook." New York Sun. S. L. YOUNG, (Successor to E. BECK. -DEALER IN- I. C.

One of the youngest and - certainly most prominent of female benefactors is Miss Alice Donlevy, the little lady who stands at the head of the Ladies Art association, and who has fought like a tigress for .its young to keep .life and hope alive for wom en artists. Twenty years ago Miss Dou levy, a precocious girl of some seventeen summers, represented to Peter Cooper the need of an art association where women artists might paint and exhibit their pict ures.. The benevolent old gentleman patted her on the shoulder and helped her con summate ner pians., ; : . . , For a month, all went as merry as a mar riage bell until .Miss Don levy became aware that the women's work was suffer ing from harsh criticisms made by a board of inspectors composed of men. She inter viewed Mr,. Cooper and told him the men mast be asked to resign.' He refused to in terfere in the matter, and consequently the association ; fell .into; disfavor: and died. .But hardly twelve .months had gone by before Miss JJonlevy brought another into existence, which stands today a model for all art clnbs for perfection of technicality and impartiality of criticism. :-: ,.- 'I was the daughter of a printer,", said Miss TJonleyy. "I commenced to study art when I was'twelve, and although necessity did not demand it, I sold pictures that: 1 bad painted before I was fifteen. - .1 always thought that . women were ill treated by brother painters in the art world, and I re solved that if ever I " got Into a position where I could do it, everything to' classify women and bring them to. the front would he done by me. . The Art association is the outcome of all my plany , It Is successful and I am happy. A poor artist coming to the city is taken care of. ; Her pictures are ij hung upon the walls of our studio for sale, and she has the benent or our utensils."

The following advertisement, published by a prominent -western patent medicine house would indicate that they regard disease as a punishment for sin : ' - 'Do you wish to know the Quickest way to cure a sever cold? We will tell you. To cure a cold qickly, it must be treated before the cold has become set tled in the system. This can always be done if you choose to, as nature in her kindness to man gives timely, warning ana plainly tells you m nature s way that as a punishment tor some indiscre tion, you are to be afflicted with a cold unless you choose to ward it off by prompt action. The first symptoms of a cold, m most cases, is a dry, loud cough and sneezing.; The cough is soon followed by a profuse watery . expectoration and the sneezing by a prosuse watery dis charge- from the nose. In severe cases there is a thin white coating on : the tongue. What to do? It is only necessary to take Uhamoerlain a Uoueh Kemedv in double doses every hour. That will greatly lessen me seventy oi me. coia ana in most cases will effectually counteract it, and cure what would have been a severe cold within one or two days time.. Try it and be convinced."'

At this reason it is certainly a very acceptable relish with meat, if it is perfectly fresh and prop erly grated. A horse radish sauce is also "delicious.- Begin by making a cream or Bechamel sauce by stirring two even ta blespoonfula of flour into two liberal table spoonfuls pf butter melted in a saucepan and adding a pint and a half of milk. Stir the sauce till it boils, then draw it to the back of the stove and season it with salt and let it simmer for ten minutes. When it is ready add two tablespoonf uls of pick led horse radish drained thoroughly from the vinegar, a saltspoonf ul of sugar and half a salts poonful of cayenne. Aet the sauce cock slowly far ten minutes, and then serve it with a fine broiled beefsteak or a brace of mutton chops. If it is too thick thin it with hot cream. New York -Tribune. - " Under Snow for Weeks. A remarkable case occurred in the snow storm of November, 1890., 'A middle aged woman, named Alice Jane Lowe, belong ink to Wigan, was admitted into Spalding workhouse- in a very weak state, having been: found by the relieving officer sleeping out in the snow in the Linconshire Fens, near Spalding,.. She was put to bed, and then stated that she had slept out for five weeks continuously, including, within the last few days, the severest weather of the year, when the snow covered the ground to the depth of -nearly a foot. The poor woman's hair was in such a matted state that it had to be all cut off. $he stated that she had tramped from Lancashire, where she bad formerly been in. domestic service, and at the time she was found in the snow she appeared to have lost her way. " The workhouse officials consider it most remarkable that the woman survived the exposure and cold. Leisure Hour.' pieiciiaiii Tailoi ' iunty. John Pashek, Third Street, Opera Block.
