find that the route will be so easy for a

a pleasant reception. Mr. Dufur says
the farmers of that part of the country
are all pleased with the outlook for crops

and by a score of five to three. Yester
day the Spokanes were saved from a

stood Portland 7, Spokane 0, when the
rain drove them from the grounds.
Few people can form a definite idea of
what is involved in the expression, "An
inch of rain." It may aid such to fol
low this curious calculation : An acre
is equal to 6,272,640 square inches ; an
inch deep on this area will be as many
- cubic inches of water, which at 227 to
the gallon, is 22,000 gallons. This im
mense qnantity of water will weigh 222,
000 pounds, or 100 tons. One hundredth
of an inch alone is equal to one ton of
water to the acre.
H. H. Wheeler of Gird creek, paid
Fossil the first visit since the town was
located, last Wednesday. He has been
here, however, before the town was. For
seven years, in the sixties, when Canyon
City was a great mining camp, and the
country between was full of treacherous
Indian savages, Mr. Wheeler stocked
and ran a stage between The Dalles and
Canyon City. Mr. Wheeler's stage stock
were frequently stolen. He was seriously
wounded on Bridge creek during the
outbreak by old Paulina's band. We
would like to see a history of this country
during those perilous times written by
Mr. Wheeler. He was regarded by the
early settlers as one of the bravest men,
and a good Indian fighter. Fossil Journal-

Qs appointed to locate the northern
andary of the Warm Spring reserva
tion and which has been 'at work since
the 20th of January last, has just com
pleted its mission. The commissioners
now go to the Colville reservation to make
arrangement for the cession of a portion
of its lands to the end that they may be
thrown open for public settlement. In
the matter of the Warm Spring boundary
the commissioners have taken the depo
sitions of nearly 50 Indians and between
20 and 30 whites. The report has not as
yet been made out but it is believed that
the commission see their duty so clearly
that the report will be unanimous. We
sincerely hope it will be in favor of the
- whites as we have always believed that
they had the right side of the question
and believe so still.
A JOLLY TIME.
TUe Young People of The Dalles Visit
Hood River.
Last evening a party of our young
people were entertained at the residence
of Hon. E. L. Smith, at Hood River.
Excursion rates were granted by the
Union Pacific and the party' left on the.
5 :30 passenger, arriving at . Hood River
about 6 :45. ' .v
The evening was perfect and before
entering upon the indoor sports the way
was led across the point by the new road
to where Mt. Hood can be seen in all its
glory of ice and snow with the graceful
river bearing its name, winding down
through the great canyon hundreds of
feet below, in the foreground. From
this scene of wild grandeur the party
turned reluctantly and wandered back
through the woods to the -residence of
Mr. Smith.
The guests were then ushered into the
parlors, made doubly attractive by the
f owers and evergreens, that were used
profusely in decorating, filling all the
place with beauty and fragrance. Music
and games were the order of the evening,
and after partaking of an elegant repast,
served in the spacious dining room, the
party reluctantly broke up, after having
spent a most delightful time, which will
long be remembered by all who were
present.
From The Dalles there were-present :
Misses Jeanette Williains,Maie Williams,
Minnie Michell, Rose Michell, Annette
Michell, Lizzie FitzGerald,-'" Virginia
Marden, Matilda Hollister, Ursula Ruch,
Louise Ruch, Gertrude Meyers, . Flora
Mulligan. Messrs. I. N. Campbell, S.
Campbell, S. D. Ainsworth, E.Williams,
Griff Williams, N. C Wilson, Joe Fitz
Gerald, -J. S. Booth, F. Faulkner, J. F.
Hampshire, Mrs. and Mrs. Blakeley.
From Hood River Mrs. and Mrs. Heald,
Miss Anna Roberts and Mr; Rand.
Work of the Water Commission.
The Dalles Water commission held a
session this forenoon to hear a report on
the present contract, and finding suffi
cient funds on hand and to gain as much
time as possible instructed the secretary
and engineer to draw up and have signed
papers to complete the contract with
Wolf & Zwichler for the lead pipe from
the reservoir up the creek. As it will
take at least sixty days to get the pipe
in after the contract is signed it was
thought best to take this action so as to
have the pipe on hand by the time the
other work is ready. Bids will be ad
vertised immediately for trenching and
other work, so that the contracts may be
let by the time the water bonds are sold.
The commission is anxious to get the
work done and the system in ' operation
at the earliest possible moment and
nothing will be neglected to bring about
that end. . -
The board has authorized the engineer
and superintendent to put a fence around
the new reservoir, now being completed,
to protect it from damage. "
Birthday Party.
The friends of Mrs. Fields, mother of
Mr. A. Fields, the popular milkman of
the North Dalles, gave that estimable
lady a surprise party yesterday afternoon,
it being the occasion of her 64 th birthday.
Quite a number of The Dalles people
crossed the brook and paid their respects
to Mrs. Fields. The afternoon was
passed in a pleasant manner by the
visitors and friends and all unite in wish
ing the recipient many returns of the
joyful occasion. Besides The Dalles
ladies present there were a number of
friends of North Dalles in attendance,
who assisted in making the afternoon an
enjoyable one.
Voluntary Taxation.
Tillamook Headlight.
Oregon had just as well try to raise
the amount of taxes needed by contribu
tion as by the present taxation system.
The exemption law makes it possible for
property holders to pay only what they
see fit. If Oregon is represented at the
world's fair it will be the result of con
tribution, and if those who will receive
the most benefits from the world's fair
will show the proper spirit the state will
be represented yet in a credible manner
notwithstanding the failure of the legis
lature to make necessary provisions.
The failure of the reform 'taxation law
made it impracticable to be liberal with
appropriations, as high taxes with the
present system would soon be disastrous
to the financial condition of the state.
Pariah Meeting:.
On Monday night next will 'occur the
regular yearly parish meeting of the
Congregational church and society in the
vestry. As business of much importance
will come up a full attendance of the
members of the church and regular at
tendants is requested.

Heppner people are said to be much
excited over the discovery of artesian
water at the Butter creek coal mines, and
will renew the effort to find it near their
city. Water often shoots some twenty
feet into the air from the drill-hole at
the coal mine. The flow is prevented by
means of a stop-valve while drilling is
progressing. It is thought it will not in
terfere with mining operations in case a
drill is struck. East Oregonian.

A CHILD'S EASTER THOUGHTS.
I have seen the bud and blossom, .
I have seen the ehrysalid
When it burst its bonds asunder '
Showing all the beauty hid.
I have watched the birdies hatching
Seen the walls of wondrous blue
Break, revealing all the beauty
.. That within its silence grew. .
. 1 have heard the wondrous story
Of a Saviour crucified,
How for us he suffered torture.
How for us he lived and died.
How the angels cainc from Heaven
- Clothed in robes of dazzling light
Bore Him back to God who gave Him
, Wearing crown and robe of white.
And they tell me bud and blossom,
Egg and bird, but symbolize
How our lives from grave and silence
Into fuller beauty rise.
When they hid my little sister
In the grave so dark and cold,
Then they said that God would keep her
As an angel in His fold.
And I wondered, as an angel
Would her face be still more fair,
- Would he eyes hold more of sunshine,
Or more gleams her golden hair?
Mamma tells me she is happy
With the good God up above,
That she plays all day with angels
Sings with them their songs of love. .
Little siBter, up in Heaven
When the angels came for you
Tears and earth dust dimmed our vision
Hid thy glory from our view.
But I know you were not frightened
Heaven to you was real and true
A nd I think sometimes the angels
Must have whispered words to you.
For you said in faith unquestioned
Two dear Fathers have been given,
I will love and trust them ever
. One on earth and one in Heaven.
Life and death and resurrection .
God and Heaven and angels bright
All seems dark, I'll trust to Jesus
He will lead me to the light.
The above verses which were written
by Mrs. Prof. Smith, of this city, and
recited by Miss Patty Baldwin at the

assented to their publication. They are

An Open River.
Editor Evening Telegram: I en
dorse all you say about the necessity for
an open river, but if the river is opened,
willit be used by the steamboat com
panies? Will not the railroads at once
put down the fares so as to make it un
profitable for the boats? What is the
use of opening the river, if not to be
made available for steamboating?
An Old River Man.
Astoria, April 16.
Grant all you say, and yet the monev
expended in opening the river will be
wisely expended.
An open river means a freight rate
regulator.
The fact that the river is there and
open to navigation will be a check on
the railroads. Whenever they impose
extortionate rates, that moment the
steamboats will begin to work the river
trade. The knowledge of this fact will
keep railroad charges down to the min
imum. -
But it does not necessarily follow that
the railroads will be able to drive the
steamboats out of business on the Col
umbia river. With a railroad running
down each side of the river, still the
steamboats would find a carrying trade.
Steam cannot compete with water, either
in manufacturing or transportation.
