VAKER CITY TIRED OF
PUMPING SYSTEM.
THE
Baker City, a town that has a popu
lation somewhat like The Dalles in num
ber, some years ago adopted the pump
ing system for her water works. It may
be interesting to the readers of the
Chronicle to know that the citizens
have found it an expensive luxury and
from paragraphs that have been printed
from time to time in the newspapers of
that city it would appear that some of
them are heartily sick of it. The an
nual election for city officers . will take
place on November 2nd and S. A. Heil
ner has announced himself a candidate
to succeed Mayor McCord on the follow
ing platform given in his own words in
the pages of the Democrat. "The peo
ple of Baker City, I think, fully under
stand my position on the water question.
I have all along advocated doing away
with the pnmping system at the water
works. It is ruinous to the treasury of the
city: It is extravagant and the city can
not bear tlie expense. ,1 would urge the
securing of water southwest of the city
at an altitude to supply the city from a
mammoth reservoir and with adequate
lorcc through pipes for fire protection.
This would, prove a great saving to the
city.". Commenting on this statement
of Mr. Heilner, the Democrat says : "It
must be admitted that the pumping
system is expensive.',' Here is a city
that has tried a system that about ten
per cent, of the taxpayers of The Dalles
wanted us to odopt and roundly abused
the other ninety per ceut. because they
could not have their way. - Now some of
the Baker ites are willing to - incur the
necessary cost' of rectifying their former
blunder and establishing the very sys
tem that- The Dalles has adopted.
Should Baker City conclude to make
this a test question the election on No
vember 2nd wiH have a feature
of peculiar interest for the people of
.The Dalles.

""-The Portland Dispatch publishes the
following which many tip this way will
regard as the most original effort at
newspaper wit that Tony Noltner has
perpetrated on a long-suffering public

The Oregonian has another i"seeoud

ing for it The Dalles Daily Chboniclk.
- But his 'task .is comparatively an easy
t-one, all he is required to do is -to say
nxlitorialjy "uen" to everything pub
lished by the Oregonian. -He gets
weekly instructions what to do in ad
vance and all that he is required to do is
to carry them out. As proof of this
statement we simply desire to introduce
any copy , of that "paper 'for ' reading.

Major lngal la again requests us to
urge the fruit growers of this section -to
end him some more samples, within the
next two days, o that Wasco's exhibit
at the exposition may be kept up in ws
- good condition 'as possible to . the last.
Kvery day. more or less'decayed fruit be
longing to the exhibit has ty be thrown
away, bence the necessity 'of renewals.
It is undoubtedly a cheap 'and efleetiva
way of advertising the resources of this

sponse will be made to this last request.

There is -within the bounds of the
original county of Sherman sixty-five
persons who pay taxes on personal and
real estate to the amount of $1000 and
over, ine amount on which taxes are
paid is about $440,455 ; of this amount
362,391 is paid north of the base line di
viding the countv. Next week we" will
give a list of the largest taxpayers in the
county. Wasco News.
The principal mines .that will contrib
ute ores to the mill at the start will be
the La Belle v tie and Buffalo, the latter
withiu two miles and the former six
miles of the mill. ' Later on the mines
of Greenhorn will send their ores.
Mr. Miller is assured of a . sufficient
quantity of ore to supply the mill and
this being the case operations will be
continued without any difficulty. Baker

Last Friday night some unknown
"patriots" pulled down and stole a
Chinese flag which the Chinamen of
Pendleton had put up the day before at
a cost of $160. The Celestials had taken
the precaution of placing an American
flag above their own, but this failed to
save it. The stolen flag was simply a
Chinese Masonic emblem and the act of
the thieves is condemned by all intelli
gent workingmen in Pendleton.
The fall railroad casualities have com
menced on the Union Pacific. The fol
lowing is a partial list for one week : A
freight brakeman, name unlearned, fell
from a caboose this side of Baker City
and had an arm broken. While he was
being taken back to Baker with an en
gine and caboose they left the track, de
laying the west-bound passenger. Sun
day a head-end collision between two
freights is reported to have occurred on
the Short-Line, and yesterday twenty
freight cars left the track. Milton Eagle.
. Li. W. Jones has commenced suit
for dixorce against his wife Ella M.

wife deserted him without cause and
went to Walla Walla , where she has since
remained. He asks for the custody of
the- three older children, leaving the
youngest, a baby, one year old, to his
wife. East Oregonian.
All the large towns like Portland, Spo
kane, : Seattle,' etc. have been gaining
notoriety by having a "bear killed near
the city limits. '-' Eugene tried to get
into the ranks "several weeks ago when
a bear was seen near the west . end of
Skinner's ' butte, 'but Barney Paine
spoiled the chance by poor shooting and
the bear got away. We are with , them
now. . Tuesday forenoon August Fisher
killed a she-bear and her cub near the
Masonic . cemetery about one mile from
the city limits. They were ii fine con
dition and the pelt of the old one will
make an excellent robe. Eugene Guard.

The Prospect Flattering.
New Yoek, Opt." 10. The Tribine'$f
special cablegram from V.Paris eavs :
Warner Miller, who has been studying
the canal system in Holland, ', and : the
waterway that the German government
is constructing, at Kiel,' arrived here
Monday from BerKn and started today
for London. He sails for New York next
week. . He it in haste to take part in the
state campaign. He said today:
The republican ticket is admirable
from top to bottom, and should be elect
ed. I know every manon it, and I know
that each of them is abundantly quali
fied to fillthe office for which he has
been nominated. I have already tele
graphed that the'eandidates should have
the warmest support of myself and
friends, and I have no reason to think
that this will not be so. I should say
that the prospect of a republican victory
in New York is most flattering. I hope
and believe that we shall win. Tam
many must be beaten. Its control ol
New York has done more to make for
eigners question the wisdom of republi
can forms of government" than anything
else. I am going back to do all I can for
our ticket. :
Reopening of Wesley' Chapel.
The arrangements for the formal re
opening cf Wesley's chapel have finally
been made. The re-openiug is not to
take place until the return of the presi
dent of the conference- and others from
the United States. It will extend over
the first . fortnight in November. The
new superintendent is resolved to make
John Wesley's pulpit a center of light
and influence in London and contem
plates inviting the leading preachers of
the day in connection with all the
churches and to deliver sets 'of sermons
on consecutive Sunday mornings. The
musical part of the services is likely to
be one of thechief attractionsof London.
J ust now the chapel Js the rendezvous of
American Methodists who are being' at
tracted to it in large numbers.
The Enclosure of School Lands.
Washington, Oct. 10. The supreme
court of the territory of Utah in a re
cent opinion held the act of congress of
February 25, 1885, prohibiting- the en
closure of public lands did not apply to
sections sixteen and thirty-six (school
sections) in Utah. This construction of
the law was not satisfactory to the in
terior department officials,, and Acting
Secretary . Chandler has requested the
attorney-general, if the request be ap-
g roved by him, to instruct the United
tates district-attorney for Utah to take
an appeal, if it can be done, and also to
commence proceedings in every case of
enclosure of school sections by persons
not entitled to them.
Austria's Appropriation.
Viexsa, Oct. 10. At a meeting of the
cabinet ministers, summoned to discuss
the proper course to be taken by Austria
at the Columbia fair in Chicago, it was
decided the state would furnish 15,000
florins to aid that .. country's exhibit
