BOBS. In The Dalles, April 13th, to the wife of J. P. Conroy, a 10-pound daughter. Sam Hop & Co. have purchased the laundry recently owned by Gee Sing. They hope by careful attention to busi ness to merit a share of patronage. All accounts must be presented to Sam Hop 6 Co. within the next ten days. Sam Hop& Co. Two cars of world's fair exhibits passed through The Dalles this morning en route for Chicago. A strip of muslin a yard wide and thirty feet long desig nates their contents. On the first is marked: "Oregon World's Fair Exhi bit Agricultural Department." This is a box Car and the contents could not be observed . The second was a flat car, labeled like the former, substituting for "agricultural," the words "Forestry Department." The exhibit will be very handsome. All varieties of the various woods of Oregon, so far as known, are represented, besides the different kinds of shrubbery, and plants in boxes, among which is our state flower, the ilex-leaved rnahonia. At one end of the car there is a sec tion of sugar pine 9 feet in diameter, and on the other a section of fir 6 feet in di ameter, which looks like it was cut about 15 feet from the ground. There is a section of Norway pine 5 feet in diam eter, and sections of cedar, spruce, black, white and yellow pine, tamarack, hem lock, and oak, maple, ash, alder, in fact all kinds of trees that grow in Oregon. There is one plank of spruce 3 inches thick, 10 feet long and '6)4 feet wide without a knot or gnarl in it. A good deal of fine lumber is in cases, and some lumber which is four feet wide which is boxed. If the contents of the car which could not be seen were as good as that in view, the eleventh hour exhibit of Oregon will be very creditable. Oar Newsy Mosier Letter. Communicated. Mosier, April 11th, 1863. Editor Chronicle : Mr. Hard wick has bought him a team. The wheat is looking fine and bids fair for a good crop. The Rev. Mr. Ireland is grubbing on the Shepard 40, preparatory to making him a new home. Mr. Lee Evans has grafted about seven thousand Italian prunes. Over twenty thousand have been grafted here in Mosier, altogether. The Hunter brothers and their fami lies, including Albert Sevady, are going to Portland for the summer. We are sorry they are going, for they are good neighbors. There will be preaching in the new schoolhouse, district No. 23, three Sun days iu each month. The second and fourth Sundays by Mr. Wilson, and the third, by the Rev. Mr. F. Ireland. In view of the fact that I had an invi tation to visit your office, I thought I would step in and tell you what a beau tiful snow storm we had this morning. The air was filled with flakes as large as five cent pieces. It looked lovety, and to the casual mind would cause deep re flection. There will be a Sunday school organ ized here in the near future, not a de nominational, but a union Sunday school. All are cordially invited to come and help to make a good school. Last Sunday we heard a very good ser mon on the primitive state ot man (by Mr. Wilson), also a good refreshing draught of temperance, which did our very souls good ; nothing so exhilarating as the pure aquis hydra. Work at the Locks. Municipal Reform. The Day Brothers have moved some of the derricks and machinery, with a force of men to the Monoghan quarry, which will be a busy scene now for some months. The family of J. G. Day has arrived at the Cascades to reside perma nent! The Dalles, April 13, 1893. Editor Chronicle : A correspond ent, signing himself "Citizen," sends the following communication to the Wasco Sun : "The action of Councilman T. N. Joles at the last meeting of the council of this city is to be commended. We need re form in the expenses of the city, as well as in many other respects, and it would now be in order, as it is just before a city election, for our water commission ers to rise and explain why they are paying over $1,500 a year for the super intendent of the water works, when they could have secured a first-class man who would have given good bonds, for $900. These are matters that are affecting the prosperity of the city, and now that an election is coming on soon our people ought to know about them." If I were a member of the water com mission, Mr. Editor, I would rise promptly and explain that "Citizen," like most of the other "reformers" of these degenerate days, is either ignorant of what he is talking about, or he uses the truth with miserly frugality. The water commissioners are not paying $1,500 a year "for the superintendent," but the more modest sum of $75 a month, and no honest, competent man ought to be offered less. Nor are these matters "affecting the prosperity of the city," that is to say adversely, in the most remote degree, whereas cheap and incompetent officials are dear at any price. No one, I suppose, questions the sincerity of Councilman Joles in his effort to reduce the salaries ot city officers ; but the wisdom of the move ment may, in part at least, well be questioned. The salaries paid are, on the whole, as low as those given for sim ilar service in any town on the Pacific coast. It is needless to say that the offices could be easily filled with cheaper men. Of course they could. "Citizen" himself, being a "reformer," would probably not object to a place at the municipal crib. Most "reformers" are built that way. But the city wants good men and competent, and these qualities will not accept small remun eration except under pressure of neces sity, and then only while necessity lasts. Wiser far to pay fairly generous salaries, and insist on thorough competency and efficiency. This is the opinion of Another Citizen. 03 X O u p- m u o j iH - & S 6 C3 o is Bear Cnhs. Some Indians came in town this morn ing with two bear cubs, which they were leading around to the unbounded amuse ment of the small boys, to say nothing of the big boys. They were later bought by Mr. Bronson for $5. The cubs are females, and have not vet been quite weaned, refusing food dear to the taste of an adult bear, with unappreciated dignity, but they will drink all the milk offered them. They have not mingled in civilization very long, and are dis posed to be retiring as yet. harried. At the Methodist Emscopal church, April 12th, 1893, Mr. Benjamin C. Mathews of Portland, Oregon, and Miss D. Caroline Scott of Decatur, Illinois, by the Rev. J. Whisler, pastor of the church. Fl REPROOFING IS POSSIBLE. Bat Combustible Material Is Often Heed lessly Used In Buildings. Scarcely a- week goes by, says a writer in the Engineering Magazine, that one or another of the journals de voted to architecture does not contain some article by experienced and able writers bearing upon the fireproofing of buildings, and, without doubt, there could be formulated from these articles a system of principles that would be thoroughly efficient to meet the re quirments. In the attempt to discover right principles, the advice and assist ance of the now noted fireproofing com panies should not be neglected. The demand was no sooner created for a science of fireproofing than it was im mediately met by the formation of companies for the very purpose of sup plying it. The new industry, with ex perience as its teacher, has developed year by year until at the present moment there is not a first-class archi tect or engineer in the country who will deny that an absolutely fireproof building can be built, and at a reason able cost. Yet fires of the most dis astrous character are constantly occur ing in buildings advertised by their owners as fireproof. It is not surpris ing, therefore, that a large element, probably a vast majority, of the entire community doubt the possibility of constructing an absolutely fireproof building. It is an incontrovertible fact that every fire which has taken place in a ' 'fireproof" building has been due to the indiscriminate use of com bustible material in its construction; moreover, it may be demonstrated that fireproof material could have been sub stituted for the material burned at a cost not exceeding twenty per cent.
