FAIR SATURDAY, OCT. 3, 1S91. The Chronicle is the Only Paper in The Dalles that Receives the Associated Press Dispatches. I.OCAI. BREVITIES. Mr. S. II. Brooks of Three Mile gave the CnKONicTE office a pleasant call to day. Messrs. L. Iiice and William Hustings of Dufur paid this office a pleasant call today. Senator Fulton of Astoria is said to be receiving strong indorsements from the Portland and Astoria bar for the vacant circuit judgeship. Two victims of the cup that both cheers and inebriates all at the same time, were pulled in last night and duly lined this morning by his honor the re corder. The amount of money received in this city from insurance companies, on ac count of losses by the great fire, will not vary a thousand dollars, either way, from $275, 000. The whole amount of the contributions received'for the sufferers by the late fire amounted to something over $5000, a considerable portion of which has been already distributed. The marshal has received orders from the mayor to vigorously prosecute the cow ordinance. All stock found running at large, at any time of the day or night, are liable to be impounded. 1 .'Willig received yesterday a new fall supply of elegant coatings and pants ma terial which he is ready to make up in the highest style of art and at reason able prices. - Call and see him. Tomorrow, Oct. 4th, Billy Graham of the Opera Eating house will serve an other game dinner, consisting of wild duck, grouse, pheasant, gray squirrel, bear and venison. Mr. Graham has the largest shell oysters we have seen in the market. It will perhaps be a surprise to many to learn that the number of children en-, rolled in the common schools of this city is the largest that has ever been enrolled uring the first month of the term, in all her history. The number ia 384 and it is fully expected will reach 500 before many weeks. This unexpected increase has necessitated the employment of an extra teacher. W. N. Wiley is putting up for Ward it Kerns at the old stand, a stable 50x100 feet. It will be roofed with cor rogated iron, will contain 70,000 feet of lumber and will accommodate, when finished thirty-three head of horses. The old barn used to accommodate, at times over 100 head, but the new one will be enlarged in the spring sufficiently to accommodote the trade. The barn and yards will occupy three lots. The lrand boys held a meeting last night and decided to have their ball on Friday evening next, October 9th. The foilowing conhnittees were appointed : On reception, J. P, Benton, S. D. Fisher W. II. Corson and J. Weigle : floor man agers, J. Hurtr., W. E. Garretson, W. S. Graham and Julius Fisher; C. L. Phil lips, caller. The tickets will be placed at the low price, of one dollar, including John Booth's ice cold lemonade, and the Chronicle expects that every man will do his duty. There still remains at the court house, awaiting ownership, the following arti Pacific IRda- D.t'r S Coast bar. J I tive of Time. jHuni Wind A. M. .... 48 ! !'! N'orth S P. M. : . . . 30.: f! I "1 "I cles which were rescused from the fire : A walnut rocking chair, upholstered in red plush and an arm chair to match ; a walnut center table: two upholstered parlor chairs a good deal worn, one brown, the other green ; a childs rocker ; a silver plated cruet stand, . with cut glass bottles ; sv lot of wool tied up in a single blanket ; three comforters and three pieces of white marble. Persons who have lost articles answering to the above had better call and see if these are theirs. Yesterday Emile Schanno and M. T. Nolan made a trip on the Regulator to the Cascade Locks and return. In a conversation with Mr. Schanno this morning that gentleman expressed him self as most agreeably surprised at the amount of work that has been done for the amount of the appropriation made, the apparent substantial character and excellence sf of the work and the reason ably short time in which it was accom plished. Mr. Shanno has no hesitation in saying that Superintendent Farley deserves great credit for his excellent management. Mr. Schanno has been watching with interest the construction work at the locks, since the first pick was struck, and he believes that more good work has been done there during the past six months than was done dur ing the six previous years. The enterprise of our citizens is well illustrated by the vigorous steps that our esteemed fellow townsman, F. L. W. Skibbe is taking to restore his lost for tune. There are some men whom mis fortune cannot down and Fred is un doubtedly one of them. The great fire cleaned him out of everything except his little family, a good wife, lots of pluck and the bare walls of his brick building; and not a dollar of insurance on anything. Today the masons are as busy as nailers adding another story to the building while Fred is running his business at full tilt under cloth inside the blackened walls. When all is fin ished Fred will have a handsome hotel in the upper story while a" restaurant, office and bar room will occupy the first floor. Mr. Skibbe deserves to succeed and we hope he may. A Quiet Wedding. A delightful wedding party met on the evening of October 1st, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Potter, of the Hood Eiver valley, to celebrate the marriage of Homer Mc Farland of Heppner and Miss) Happie Day Potter. There were present the celebrant, Rev. W. L. McEwan, and Mrs. McEwan, Mr. and Mrs. C. McFar land, Mr. and Mrs. F. McFarland; Mr. E. B. McFarland, Mr. and Mrs. Bishop, Mrs. Middleton, Mr. E. M. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. W. Potter' and Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Potter! The parlor of the handsome building was profusely deco rated with flowers and as the charming bride, resplendent in a rich dress of pale green silk, descended the stairway at the .hour of 9 o'clock, her pathway was literally strewn with flowers. After the ceremony the party 6at down to a mag nificent wedding eupper and about the hour of midnight the company separated for their homes with many earnest good wishes for the bride and bridegroom, who at an early hour next morning started on their wedding trip to Portland. Among the numerous and valuable pres ents our correspondent noticed a silver water set and an eight piece-silver tea service, from Mr. and Mrs. F. McFar land, a gold breast, pin, from Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Abrami, a silver platter, from Mr. and Mrs. Will Potter, a pair of vases, from Mr. and Mrs. McEwan, a rose jar from Mr. and . Mrs. E. B. Mc Farland, a set of fruit knives from Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Bone, a card receiver, from Mr. W. B. Lasswall, a stand and cover, from Mr. VV . U. Bishop, one set of solid silver tea spoons, from Mr. and Mrs. C. McFarland and many other val uable gifts the names of wliose donors we did not learn. Single Tax Again. , - Grass Valley, Or., Sept. 28, 1891. Editor of the Chronicle: In an editorial in your issue of Sep tember 18th, in replying to the East Ore gonian, you assume that a single tax as sessor must necessarily violate his oath. Let me say that all that single tax folks expect or claim at present is that the present laws shpu1d be strictly adhered to in order tnat people can see their in justice. Single tax assessors, if they do increase the assessment on land, increase it only on unimproved land which to that extent relieves personal property and inproved land. The impulse that the single tax agitation has given in New York City and Brooklyn has in creased the assessment several million dollars and every dollar of it is borne by the owners of improved or partially im proved land, and land owners who put their land to its best use, applaud the course. If the assessor of Wasco county would pursue the same course he. would place several thousand dollars of, the present tax levy on land speculators and to that extent relieve personal property and improvements on land, which, to that extent, would relieve industrious farmers and require "the dogs in the manger" to pay a part of their ill-gotten products of labor for public purposes. ; If the Chronicle,- wishes to meet a foemari worthy of its blade, please turn your artillery upon the Oregonian, which, in an editorial of September 25th, advocates all that the most sanguine single tax man wishes or hopes for at present. Hoping that the Chronicle will yet see the truth and justice in the single tax, I remain, . Respectfully, . - . F. M. Mabquis. Management of the JPortnge Goad.' Two lettere. recently appeared in the Oregonian on the-management of the j work on the portage railway at Cascade j Locks.' In these letters Superintendent Farley was sharply criticised.' It was a public matter, a matter relating to pub lic business, and as a responsible name that of Turner F. Leavens was given as the author, the letters were printed. But The Dalles Chronicle now says : - When these letters appeared Mr. Leavens was at a distance in the state of Washington with a surveying party. Not till he returnrd last Thursday even ing did he have an opportunity of disir vowingall knowledge or connection with either of the letters. Mr. Leavens de nies having written the letters ; denies all authorship, and denies having given anyone permission to use his name in writing them. The Dalles paper makes this addi tional statement : The animus of the attacks is fully un derstood, and the time may come when their authorship will be fully exposed ; meanwhile they have failed in their ob ject, and the solitary fact that there yet remains, after the road is open fcr traffic, fully $8000 to furnish necessary conven iences, is itself a sufficient answer to a thousand such, made by a sneak who is cowardly enough to steal another man's name to fight under. The Oregonian has not yet heard di rectly from Mr. Leavens, but it assumes that The Dalles Chronicle has received from him a denial of the authorship of the letters. If they are really forgeries, the Oregonian would gladly do all in its power to drag their author into the light and expose him to the contempt he deserves. It seems certain that the state board do not think Mr. Farley's management censur able, since they declined to receive his resignation. The letters bear evidence of inside knowledge on the part of their author, which may lead to discovery of him. The Oregonian has preserved the original of the second and longer letter. It would be easy for a malevolent per son to distort information that bis op portunities had enabled hint to obtain, and use it for unjust criticism upon a person in the public service. " This seems to be a case of that kind, a case more over, which furnishes an illustration of that species of meanness which uses another's name to cover one's own cow ardice. Another Donation From .Portland. Mayor Mays received the following communication yesterday, enclosing a check for $264. The thanks of the peo ple of this city are gratefully extended to the. citizens of Portland and to Messrs. J. F. Cordray &Co. for their very gener ous contribution to the needs of the suf ferers by the great fire. Oct. 1, 1891. Hon, Robert Mays, mayor, The Dalles, Or. My Dear Sir : Enclosed find check of John F. Cordray & Co., for proceeds of benefit given the sufferers by fire in your city. This will close present con tributions. We sincerely hope the lib erality of our people may relieve some of those 'who are now destitute in your city. We hope you may never again have occasion to call for assistance, but should the emergency arise I feel confi dent our citizens wonld respond cheer fully. Yours "Very Respectfully, W. S. Masos.
