Creighton of 3-Mile. The news of his
tragic action has proven a shock to all
bis friends and acquaintances. Letters
written to his friends in this city but a
short time since gave no indication that
he was contemplating anything out of
the ordinary. It is believed by those
who knew him best that he was tem
porarily insane at the time he committed
the deed. - ' . ;-'

AN UNUSUAL SIGHT.
Four Large Boats Come Up the Col am.
hl as One.'
Probably the most severe test that the
Regulator could be subjected to occurred
Saturday in towing up the river . from
Crates Point the D. S. Baker, the Hunt
ress and the wharf boat. It required
considerable ingenuity to so adjust the
triple burden as to make the trip suc
cessfully, but it was done by placing the
wharf boat in the center, the Baker
and the Huntress being on either side.
Ropes were used to tie them all snugly
together, and one from each side to the
rear of the Regulator for about two
thirds of its length. The whole resist
ance came upon the prow of the boat,
and as in addition to the immense
weight of the tow, the wharf . boat was
pushing flatwise across one end, ' about
45 feet wide, and up stream, the strength
of the Regulator may be said to be pro
digious. The trip of three, miles was
made in 45 minutes, and its successful
termination reflects great credit on the
seamanship of Capt. Sherman who, at
tempted a job that anyone else would
have divided into three. '
The sight of the four large boats plow
ing their way through the waves as one
was most unusual, and was grand. It
was the largest burden ever borne by
the upper Columbia. .

Kreft Becomes Warmed Up Over a
- Proposition Submitted by Joles
The City Assessment
- The regular monthly meeting of the
city council occurred Saturday night;
present Mayor Mays and Aldermen
Joles, Kreft, Haight and Wood ; . absent
Lauer and Williams. .. - .
After reading of minutes, permission
was given to Hon. J. M. Huntington,
who was in waiting, to address the coun
cil with a petition. It was for a new
franchise for the Electric Light Com
pany, being precisely like that passed
February 6tb, 1892, which had legally
expired, by default of that company
filing articles of incorporation. Mr.
Huntington said that it is the intention
of the company to' soon expend $8,000
for new machinery and appliances and
they wish to incorporate and have the
, benefit of a franchise, unquestioned by
any legal technicality. It was granted,
upon motion. ' '
A report was read from the commit
tee (John Marden, Smith French and S.
B. Adams) to whom was referred the
matter of making an equitable assess
ment for the Langhlin street sewer.
The committee . said that they could
assess only those who had lots in block
.9. vThe . report was accepted, but. the
committee not discharged.- A long dis
cussion ensued. The mayor stated that
it was his earnest desire to perfect a sew
erage system in The Dalles ; that it was
demanded by necessity, and he would
not relinquish bis efforts so long as he
was ' president of the council. : The
Laughlin street' sewer, by the report of
the committee, was as barren of result
as when it was first brought up. "There
is a! right way to do it," said the mayor,
"and we should begin rightly at the
very commencement and proceed in a
legal way." The discussion led . to a
motion that ."a street sewer system be
adopted by the city," and a second one
prevailed that the street and public
property committee employ a surveyor,
who shall ascertain what lots on Laugh
lin arid Washington shall be tributary.
Pending decided action, the defective
wooden sewer in block 9 should be kept
in as good repair as possible. The sewer
problem is one of the knotty ones now
under discussion by the council. -
A com plaint was then recited by Aid.
Haight about - the - cistern at Skibbe's
corner, it appearing that it is in an unsafe
condition and,, as Aid. Joles facetiously
observed "fenced in and looks like a pig
pen." Referred to committee on streets
and alleys. .
The reports of the recorder, marshal,
street commissioner and treasurer were
then read.
The committee appointed to draw up
a health ordinance asked for further
time.
Aid. Joles next drew from the recesses
of his coat a paper on which was the
figures : "Recorder $75, marshal $75,
night watchman $60, engineer $75, street
commissioner $2.50 per day, fire warden
$10 per month." Before reading them he
said, as a preamble, that there was con
siderable grumbling from taxpayers
about excessive city taxes, and he pro
posed to retrench by having the recorder
draw up an ordinance, with the salaries
per month as above' stated, saving some
thing like $1,400 per year. This proved
o be the hit of the evening.' The street
commissioner was thrown off his guard
to the extent of forgetting the dignity of
the 'presiding officer " and ejaculated:
"I'll expect to get coffee five pounds for
a dollar then." Aid. Kreft, who . may
be said to be the impulsive member of
th council, quickly arose and denounced
the scheme with considerable warmth.
He recited that the present recorder
more than earns the salary he was now
getting by his faithful devotion to' duty
and estimable work. "Besides,"" said
Mr. Kreft, "it is frequently that be
gives the council legal advice, which
would otherwise necessitate the expend
iture of a good many dollars." As to the
street commissioner, Mr. Kreft said that
the present incumbent was willing to
take off his coat and do a good day's
work with the crowbar and shovel him
self. It ia evident that Mr. Kreft is ob
servant and he was . assuredly "worked
up." . The motion prevailed to draw up
the ordinance.
Street commissioner ordered to put in
a cross walk on .Eleventh . street to
Liberty.
- The judiciary committee was ordered
to secure legal advice, to find out if they
can employ a city assessor and collect
taxes, as usual, instead of waiting until
a county levy is made by the new law.
The moving of the fire-bell tower was
referred to the fire and water committee.

The Churches Beautifully Decorated to
-, Observe Easter Sunday.
The churches, without exception, pre
sented, a beautiful appearance in their
Easter decorations. .
CONGREGATIONAL. -
At the Congregational church the dec
orations were simple . and very dainty
and . confined mostly to potted plants.
The back of the organ was especially
noted, being covered with the red and
green leaves of the Oregon Jgrape
(ilex -leaved mahoma). On a .stand to
the right of the rostrum was a pyramid of
golden erytbroniums (rock lilies), the
whole presenting a very pleasing effect.
The services were conducted by the
pastor, Rev. W. C. Curtis. Easter com
munion service was held after the morn
ing sermon. .' The music by the choir
was an important feature in the day's
services.
bt. Paul's episcopal. ,
St. Paul's chapel was tastefully deco
rated with palms and potted plants.
Suspended in the chancel window was a
large cross of calla lilies.' The altar and
chancel rail were daintily arranged, and
the baptismal font was entwined with
ivy," while surmounting this was a calla
fully five feet-in height with several
blooms, that attained its growth during
Lent. The organ was also . decorated
with evergreens and daffodils. The new
altar cloth, pure) white trimmed with
gold, used for the first time, was the
gift of Mrs. Lpchhead, and is very beau
tiful." The services .- during the day,
which were conducted by the rector ,Rev.
E. D. Sutcliffe. were from the beautiful
and . impressive 'Episcopal ritual. The
music by a special choir was excellent
and equalled the professional choirs of
the city churches. .
' . METHODIST EPISCOPAL. '
The altar of the M. E church was
fairly a . bed of flowers, in the center of
which was a large evergreen cross. . A
large number of house plants, as well
as an abundance of wild flowers, were
used in the decorations, which were
most artistically arranged. The black
board, designed by Mr. J. Parrot, occu
pied a prominent place. ' The pupils of
the Sunday school gave an interesting
entertainment in the morning, added to
which the solo by Mrs. L. Bradsbaw
and the selections on the vacallion by
Mrs. Grace Condon, who thoroughly
understands the instrument and is an
artist" in that line, formed a pleasing
exercise.' At the close of the service the
pupils of the school were presented with
beautifully decorated Easter eggs. ' In
the evening Rev. Whisler delivered an
excellent Easter discourse to a - large
audience. .
