Messrs. E. H. and V. H. French re

- We are having some delightful weather
at present which will probably come to an
abrupt terminus before long; it ia too
arly in the winter to expect this kind
of weather to last all summer.
vj Counterfeit silver coins and five and
i ten-dollar gold pieces are , being passed
Jto pome extent in this city, and all along
the coast at present. The imitation ia
pronounced bad, and, with ordinary
- -care, no losses need occur. ,
The annual masquerade ball of Jack
son Engine Co. should, receive liberal
patronage, as this is the pioneer fire
company of The Dalles, having been or
ganized in 1863. During the many
devastating conflagrations . that have
visited the city, this company has always
done its duty towards Baving property;
Nearly all of the' original members have
passed away to the "silent shore," and
among those, who still remain are J udge
Liebe and Mr. Henry Whitmore. These
are the only ones, it is said , who are
alive whose - names are on the charter.
.- It is learned from authoritative sources
ihat important changes will be made in
the telephone system of .the .Pacific
coast. In the. spring several patents
, will expire on telephone appliances.
After that takes place, it is probable
that all the. telephone systems on the
coast will be consolidated in one or two
large systems, these being the Rocky
Mountain and the Sunset.' A long dis
tance telephone line now.runs , from
New. York to Chicago, and works to the
entire satisfaction of the stockholders.
Should the change mentioned above
take place, it: will be possible to get
connection1 in The Dalles with Pendle
ton, Baker City, Boise, Walla Walla,
. Spokane, San Francisco, Portland,
Seattle, and all other cities on the coast.

Mr. Fred. W. Wilson, who has been

Mrs. Lillie Burford, daughter of Mrs
Laura Cooley of Centerville, is seriously
ill at her home in Klickitat county. Mr.
and Mrs. Burford were quite recently
married, under very favorable circum
stances. It is earnestly hoped she may
soon recover.
Mr. E. F. Hu mason of Spokane, who
was a short time since made tbe victim
of a conspiracy and convicted of steal
ing cattle at Spokane, carried the mat
ter to the supreme court and the decision
has been reversed. Mr. Humason was
formerly a resident of this city and his
many friends will be gratified to learn
of the decision. , ,
The Baker city Democrat says Lewis
A Dryden have commenced actions all
along the line to recover on subscrip
tions to their Railway Guide. In that
city they , have banded their list to
their attorneys, and it is expedient that
the delinquents "walk up to the cap
tain's office." A number have already
settled. ,
' The freeze last night put the ice on

selves of the -opportunity to enjoy a

the fact that there is now a chance to
Btrieve their . reputations as skaters.
Gov. Ponnoyer has attempted to place
he responsibility for the defeat of the
proposed portage railway at the dalles
upon our delegation in congress. . -What
ever may have happened in the past is
passed. The future is to determine what
shall be done. It matters little to the
people -that mistakes may have been
made only: Don't let any more mis
takes occur. The people" of the Inland
Empire have done forever with political
fillibusterine about the ' nroiect of an
operfAjlumbia river. It has got to
come, and that is all there is about it.
We understand, that a "bill was intro
duced yesterday' appropriating $460,000
for the purpose by a member of the sen
ate in Salem. When a copy of the bill
reaches us we shall be prepared to dis
cuss its provisions.
Thb Chronicxb heartily concurs in
the Capital - Journal '" suggestion that
when the, proper time arrives a history
of W. S.Xadd, deceased, should be writ
ten. That a man should come to the
Pacific coast almost penniless', possessed
of no. capital but, a sound, physique, ! a
clear head for business.and a good char
acter, and die worth twenty millions , is
a significant commentary on American
institutions. . 11 life of W. SLadd would
be a better history of Oregon than any
now - in existence. "...The clear impres
sions of strong characters upon the minds
of growing generations would be far
more valuable than much that is now
taught in the schools and printed in the
newspapers. A well written history ' of
Mr.. Ladd'8 life would read almost like a
romance. The example pi sterling in
tegrity, Jiis tireless, industry, his high
courage under . all ' circumstances, his
patient suffering : of , physical distress
that would have crushed many a man
into nothingness ; these are traits' that
should be held before the youth of our
country." ; The death of our great banker
and business man of this coast is fresh
in the minds of all. " The good things of
over' forty years of activity - among his
fellow . men should not be lost in the
speedy oblivion following death.

The state military board finished its
labors last evening. They passed -a
resolution for the introduction of a bill
removing the constitutional objections
to the land providing for .the building of
an armory and the paying, of rents of
buildings used for armories. .Also that
the members of the state militia shall

Mr. Frank Hampton, one of Crook
county's large cattlemen, is in the city
today, en route to Eugene city, to meet
his family, who are . living there during
the winter. Mr. Hampton reports the
stock on the ranges in excellent condi-,
tion, and the Bnowfntl in that section1
was of great benefit to the farming por
tion of tbe country, as it gives them as
surance of fine crops this year.
Sanitarium Near Tall i;lty,
We learn that several parties have
'come up from Portland, having in view
Itheestablishment of a sanitarium at Tbe
Dalles, or near here. They have visited
several ' sections,' and have decided to
make the location on Chenoweth, if they
can negotiate a purchase of twenty acres.
Kof land of MvPeter Anderson We
consider this a nice move for aninstitu
tion of that nature". - The climate and
climatic conditions of this section of Or
egon are. far superior, in health giving
qualities to any other division of the
state. ' The freedom from extreme warm
weather in the summer, or cold weather
in the winter, exemptions froni fog, and
the ' prevalence ' of pure air makes this
a . most desirable . location for such
an institution , and in turn, such an in
stitution will afford a market for fruits
and other products which will tend to
the profit of tbe producers. -, It is mutu
ally advantageous, and we trust there
may be no drawback to prevent the full
accomplishment of the project. : - ; . "'

It was just one year ago last night
that the Telephone was piled up on the

says tbe Astoria Examiner of the 9th
Last night was worse for fog than that
of a year ago, and having in mind the
accident that cost tbe company $10,000,
Capt. Crang and Pilot Larkin looked : at
the fog as a sort of hoodoo. At 7 o'clock
the fog waa so thick that , the lights of
vessels along the docks could not be seen
till one was within fifty ; feet of them.
The fog lifted a little before ten o'clock
At 9:45 the Telephone blew her whistle,
