Thirty-three years ago yesterday Or
egon was admitted as a state of the
American union. The anniversary was
celebrated at The Dalles by genial
weather and happy smiles upon the
countenances of the people.
A protracted meeting under the charge
of Rev. E. Baker, of Dufur, has been in
progress for the past two weeks at
Fairfield. Rev. A. C. Spencer preached
there last evening and expects to assist
daring part of the present week. A
good interest is being manifested.
The band boys desire through the
Chronicle to sincerely thank Mr. John
Booth for his service as door keeper,
Masters Vic. Maiden and Winn Curtis
for their services as Ushers and Mrs.
Loch head for the use of the stage during
the entertainment of. last Saturday
evening.
J. D. Wilcox of Kent, is in the city.
Mr. Wilcox is prominently mentioned
by the residents of the southern portion
of Sherman county for the- office of
county commissioner. It is a case of the
office seeking the man and Sherman
county can hardly , make .a better
selection. - - ,
s We regret to learn of the loss by fire,
last Friday evening, of the dwelling of J.
R. Woodcock of Wamic, and nearly all
' its contents. The fire originated in a de
fective flue. , The building was insured
in the State Insurance Cbmpanyof Salem
for $600; but this amount will not nearly
cover the loss.
An attempt was made last night in
the east end to' hold bp Billy Larsen
while that gentleman was on the public
street near The Dalles Mercantile com
pany's store. Billy resisted the attempt,
when his assailant drew a knife and
succeededed in cutting Billy's clothes
and one of his hands which was thrown
up in defense. The assailant.waa finally
driven off without attaining his object.

Tysh Hill Grade No Veto tnla Time
The citizens of Dufur, Kingsley, Tygh,
Wamic and Wapinitia held .a very en
thusiastic and numerously attended
meeting at Waiuic last Saturday after
noon to consider matters relating to the
building of a new grade up Tygh Hill,
now that such' an undertaking has come
within the range of possibility' through
the action of the county court in adding
two mills to the tax levy for the im
provement of our public high ways
Promptly at 2 o'clock the meeting was
called to order by M. J. Anderson, who,'
in .a few appropriate words, stated the
object for which they were gathered to-
gether, and earnestly urged concerted
action and harmony in the one main ob
ject of procuring a . grade, wherever it
might be judged wise, to put it. The
meeting then unanimously elected Hon.
W. McD. Lewis as chairman and M. J
Anderson secretary.
. A motion was then carried to select a
committe of five, one from each precinct
represented at the meeting, to select the
most feasible route fOY the new grade.
After a recess of 15 minutes while the
representatives of each precinct selected
its committee man the following names
were presented to the meeting and unan
imously chosen : for Dufur, L. J.
Klinger ; for Kingsley, F. C. Sexton ; for
Tygh, John M. Mode; for Wapinitia,
Frank Gabel ; for Wamic, T. J. Driver.
V It was then moved and carried that
the county, court be requested to select
three of the five members of the com
mittee just chosen, to act as viewers at
the time of making the survey of. the
route which the committee of five shall
select. - Another committee was then
chosen to attend the March term of the
county court and lay before that body
the necessity for the largest possible ap
propriation and confer with it as' to
plans for the most .economical and
speedy construction of the road. The
following resolution was then ' offered
and passed unanimously :
Resolved, That this meeting earnest
ly urges the county court of Wasco county
to take all possible ' steps to have the
work on the new grade commenced at
the earliest possible moment so that the
road may be. ready 'for traffic by next
fall.
The following petition to the Wasco
county court was submitted to the ap
proval of the meeting and having re
ceived a unanimous and hearty endorse--ment
it received the signatures of more
than a hundred persons. :
- Whereas, the construction of the Tygh
bill grade is such as to make it almost im
possible for those living south of it in
this county to get to market with pro
duce and it is also dangerous for very
light vehicles.
Whereas, the nature of the grade in its
present location is such that it cannot be
made safe or even passible., to heavy
travel. ,
Wliereas, 'it will take considerable
money to build a new grade, and in view
of the fact that prompt action is abso
lutely necessary, we ask your honorable
body that the', proportion of money due
our sections through the two , mill tax
levied! for road improvements, be all ex
pended in making a new grade on Tygh
hill. , .
The following resolution was then sub
mitted and unanimously adopted.'
Resolved, by the citizens of Dufur.
Kingsley, Tygh, Wamic and Wapinitia,
in mass meeting' assembled, that we
ntoet cordially approve, of. the. action of
the commissioners ., court of Wasco
county and heartily thank them for add
ing a two mill tax to the annual levy for;
the- improvement of : our .public" bight
ways. .
A subscription list was then submit
ted to the meeting and in .a very few
minutes the sum of $445 in cash $260- in
work making a total of $705 was sub
scribed. ' The meeting then adjourned
after a session of about three hours-in
which every minute was occupied. The
people seemed, terribly in earnest and
whils it was well known that considera
ble differences of opinion existed as to
the best location for the proposed grade
all minor differences disappeared before
the one absorbing desire to procure a
road.. At one-part of the meeting there
was a long : discussion about the best
method to adopt in building the grade
whether by contract or .ptherwise. All
finally agreed that the matter could be
safely left to the wisdom of the:. county
court and the committee appointed to
confer with.it. .Theopening of this road-
will be of immense .benefit to the' citiJ
zehs of the three,, precincts of Tygh;
Wamic and Wapinitia. .What the new
grade may cost it is of course -impossible
to tell at -present. We are -persuaded
the people, more nearly interested, will
help- the work to the full extent of their
ability- but if the work should prove
more expensive than is anticipated and
the county court should err in the mat
ter of extra liberality we take it upon us
to say that the sin will be one that shall
never be laid up against it, neither in
this world nor in : the- world that is to
come. - The .people are intensely de
lightful at the assured prospect of an
appropriation that, as more than one of
them observed to the writer, "Governor
Pennoyer can'uot veto."
Train Robbers Captured.

store, -and cap'tured Bill Burns, of Honey
Grqve ;! Ed. Miller, of Kansas City ;

the plan was to rob the Texas & Pacific

Ituilding MuperHtltloim.
, In remote times a sacrifice of some
kind was always offered at the- comple
tion of a hiiildins. either pnlilk- or
private. .Sacriflctss were not only offered
at the completion of structures of all
kinds the fonud.ttionH themselves were
usually laid . in Mood, whether the
structure was a castle, bridge, cottage or
church. Originally tracing the sub
ject back to heathenish' rime the
sacrifice, was offered to the K'd nnder
whose protection the Imilding wan
placed; in-Christian ti:nes the blofxly
rite was retained, but was given another
signification. In those days it' was gen
eraliy believed that no edifice would
stand unless the corner stone wax laid in
mortar mixed with blood. Usually the
blood was obtained by sacrificing a dog.
a pig. a wolf, a black cock or a -goat,
and not unfreqnently some malefactor's
blood was poured out to make the cere
mony more impressive. St. Louis Re

Price of Toothpicks.
The little whitewood toothpick pointed
at both ends was patented in America in
1866, and would seem a small article to
create a monopoly in; yet a factory at
Bucksfield, Me., used up many thousand
cords of wood every year in the manu
facture of this small article. The cord
of wood consists of a thousand billets or
four loads. Two thousand five hundred
toothpicks were sold for one shilling,
and a large profit was made. : Now, the
patent having run out, many others have
gone into the trade, ant prices have
fallen to fivepence on 2,500 toothpicks
retail, and even ' -lower wholesale.
