oil regions as the 5th stratum of oil bear

taken from a depth of 2200 feet in Wash

of this mall broken rock are found at
intervals in the process of well boring,
the oil being found in the layers. This
applies to Pennsylvania and Ohio, while
the rock is entirely absent from the
Canadian oil fields.
A Chapter of The Dalles' Hiatory.
There ia not better record of the his
tory of a community than its local news
paper. Daily or weekly, as the case
may be, passing events are recorded
while the memory of them is yet "green.
A single copy thus becomes a whole
chapter' of the history of a community,
a history that has an interest all its
own, growing an intensity as we turn
the files backward. A lady friend of the
vh Ron iclw lias presented us with an old
CODV of the weeklv VnunM
7, 1868 the only paper published at
that time in this city , and one of the
eignieen papers published m the state I
and the only paper published in all
Eastern Oregon. We have read it with
intense interest and we believe a short
summary of the history it gives na of
The Dalles" of four and twenty years ago
will not be uninteresting to our readers.
The paper is a six column folio well and
neatly printed and full of interesting
matter. It tells us that William M
nanu ia its puDiisner, mat tne office is
in the post office building on Main
street, upstairs,-that it is the United
States official paper for Oregon and that
its price is $3 a year,' six months $2,
single copy, 25 cents. The list of pro
leseionai . gentlemen on tne . nrst page
shows the names of Drs. C. B. Brooks,
T. B. Jackson and B. W. Mitchell.
Attorneys O. N. Denney, of The Dalles,
I. D. Haines, of Baker City, and C. H.
Miller "Joaquin Miller," , of t Canyon
City, who curiously enough says he will
practice ia all the courts of Oregon "ex
cept the county court of Grant county."
(Since' writing the ; above we have
learned that "Joaquin" -was at that
time county judge of Grant county;
hence the exception.)
J. B. Condon has no card but in another
place his name appears as attorney in a
case in which John Williams was plain
tiff and Jaines East defendant. J. G.
Wilson was the circuit judge, N. R.
Packard, county clerk ; "Thomas Howard
sheriff; J. "W. Baldwin his deputy and
E. P. Fitzgerald school superintendent;
X. H. Gates has no card but his name
appears as attorney fr Mary Harring
ton who sues for a divorce from " her
husband J. F. Harrington. E. Schutz
was then conducting a dancing academy
at $15 per quarter for adults and children
$10, at which, "all the modern dances
were taught." Besides the dancing
academy E. Schutz was senior partner
in the Jackson saloon, corner of Court
and Second With S. Klein as junior.

Co.,' the Washington market, corner of

and The Dalles market southwhest cor
ner of Washington and Second by Has
tings & Hodge. Thomas Smith was
running the Empire hotel on Main
street, while the Umatilla house, with
"accomodations for 200 guests," a bar
room and reading room and "free lunch
every morning at 10" was conducted by
Handley and Sinnott. French & Gil
man announce .that they dissolved part
nership on Februaiy 21st, 1868 and their
successors French & Co,, are conducting
a wholesale and retail wine, liquor and
grocery business, corner of Second and
Washington. Bloch Miller & Co., have
a dry goods store and assay office corner
of Main and Washington and F. Wyck
maii is making and selling boots and
shoes on Main street, "opposite Chap
in '8 Hall." S. L. Brooks gives notice to
delinquent stock holder's of the Wssco
Woolen Manufacturing Co., that on the
ltlth day of March he will sell at public
auction as much of their Ptook n
necessary to pay the delinquent assess-
roents thereon. Over forty tons of the
machinery lor the woolen mill had ar
rived in the city on the fourth of" the
month, "165 days from New York, via
Cape Horn." The announcement is
made that a duplicate set of machinery
is enroute, but as there is no wool in the
country, the mill will not be able to go
into, operation , until after the
clip.

Then, as 'now, '. politics occupied the
attention of the average American citi
zen.. A biennial election was approach
ing and the county conventions - of two
parties are announced. .,; N. R Packard
is chairman of the democratic county
convention and the delegates are called
to meet in the city on March 5th, all of
which shows that the editor of the
Mountaineer then as his successor of the
Times-Mountaineer now, sometimes ran
a "dead head" advertisement after it
was out of date. This remark, however,
will not apply to the advertisement of
the "Union Connty convention," which
is called for March 12th. Robert Mays
is the chairman and he warns the union
men that the public interest demanded
that 5'you look after the late method of
Democratic Retrenchment : in Wasco
county ,'.' which seems to be a sarcastic
way of hinting that the democrats had
either been doing a little' stealing or
practising unwonted extravagance.

A Preventive for Croup. '
We want every mother fo know that
croup can be prevented. True croup
never appears without a warning. The
first symptom is hoarseness; then the
child appears to have taken a cold or a
cold may have accompanied the hoarse
ness from the start. ; After that a pecul
iar rough cough is developed, which is
followed by tho croup.. The time to act
is when the child first becomes hoarse ;
a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough
