A Successful Social.
The hammer and needle social last
evening scored another big success so
cially and financially. An excellent
musical program was arranged. Espec
ially noteworthy was the duet by Mrs.
Lizzie Bradshaw and Mrs. Allie Boyer,
and the quartette "Poor Old Joe" by
Messrs. Johnson, Snowden, Patterson
and Jameson. The former selection
gave ample scope for the beauty of the
female voice, while the quartette was as
melodious as comical. The excuse for
the name of the social was found in a
"hammer and needle" chorus. Five
minutes were allowed for four ladies to
drive nails and as many gentlemen to
sew buttons. They all fell to work with
an earnestness that is worthy of a much
greater cause. Mrs. C. H. Brown drove
94 shingle nails in a block of wood,
which, as Mr. Glenn would readily af
firm, would secure her a position any
time as a lather. Though this was the
highest number driven she lost the
prize, Mrs. Boyer securing the plum
because of the greater excellence of her
work. Mr. Riddell was a very busy
man, and threaded his needle with com
mendable dexterity during the five
minutes and was rewarded with a mini
ature work basket for best work done.
Mr. Collins received a package of tooth
picks for his voice, said to be the best of
the evening, though advised to be econ
omical of it when in the woods hunting
me. The social part of the program
as not the least worthy of mention, the
ice cream and cake being a suitable foil
for the preceding intellectual delights.

PEASE & MAYS.
VISIT THE DALLES.
Messrs. J. O. Day and J. F. Kennedy
Arrive on the Regulator.
J. G. Day, sr., and J. F. Kennedy,
treasurer for the contractors, arrived by
steamer Regulator last night and were
met by a Chronicle reporter. Both
men are very affable gentlemen and,
contrary to the general rule of the age,
were not found to be mysteriously se
cretive, but on the contrary, were in
clined to answer every pertinent ques
tion candidly and civilly. Our corres
pondent yesterday pretty well covered
the field and little remains to be said at
this writing. An instance, however, of
the Da3' contractors' methods may not
prove uninteresting. These gentlemen
are California bred and are disposed to
go into anything on a gigantic plane, and
the Cascade Locks is their third govern
ment contract for large public works.
It will be of interest, then, to say that
the derricks in former use on the con
tract are but toys, compared to the ones
used by the Day contractors, which are
all portable. The shaft of the largest is
80 feet long, with cables large enough to
anchor the largest movable obstacle.
It is capable, in connection with the
powerful engines, of lifting a weight of
forty tons.
The cement used all comes from Ger
many and hns stood every test, as to
fineness, tensile strength and crushing
strength.
Mr. Day, in answer to a question as to
the supply of rock at the new quarry,
said there was enough there to build
several canals as large as the one in
course of construction.
The road to the quarry uses two miles
of track of the U. P. line, which was
ranted them by that company.
The course of Herman creek will be
c anged at the quarry, to secure many
o the huge boulders for use in the canal,
si me of them being as large as an ordi
n try dwelling bouse.
For the coming winter it is proposed
t use dynamos and furnish powerful
li ;hts and run night and day shifts.
Finally Mr. Day promised a surprise
us, in giving out the fact at an early
ay that boats could safely go through
the locks in advance of completion.
This is Mr. Day's first visit to The
Dalles. He likened it to California, in
many particulars which with him, is
probably the acme of praise, saying that
the climate differed most, this being
like New England, while California is
more tropical. Messrs. Day and Ken
nedy left for the Cascades this morning
on the Regulator.

And both nave been jailed in the city.
Ben Wilkes went to Umatilla today to
fire for a while.
Engineer Lavell of Albina was in the
city the early part of the week.
Hugh Farmer came down from Uma
tilla Tuesday and returned yesterday.
Ed Morgan came in with the 593 off
of the work train Saturday evening for
a few repairs, and returned early Mon
day morning.
The steam shovel and work trains
have moved to Mosier. Several train
loads of dirt have been taken to the
Des Chutes, and are still a-going.
.Engine 541 is beginning to look quite
neat since the old-time fire boy, Cong
don, has taken possession of the bright
works. Mr. Congdon takes a pardona
ble pride in wanting everything around
him to look bright and shining.
Fireman Reese, from the Heppner
branch, has taken a lay-off for a few
days, to enable him to accompany his
wife to Portland, where that lady will
undergo medical treatment. J. S.
Brown is firing in Mr. Reese's stead.
Johnnie Osborne has been doing some
vigorous scouring on the 546. Johnnie
is a wide-awake fire boy, and is pretty
well posted on cab work, and we pre
sume from the amount of coal he shov
els over the road his appetite is fair to
average.
Ben Wilkes has Brown's place on 388.
Wilkes and Ready are lucky in catching
the helper engine for the last several
trips. Wilkes has been changed around
much in the last few weeks that he
bewildered and sometimes he inad
vertently pays for "settin' 'em up,"
under the apprehension that he is some
body else.
Landreth, the good old soul, the
'Hoosier boy," is doing the hostling act
temporarily. Curious facts will often
follow one to any pursuit. We lately
learned that Curly used to be a profes
sional "bronco buster," though he
failed in a noteworthy instance where he
was bucked off the hurricane deck, irri
tating his feelings a good deal and his
trousers a good deal more, whereupon
he was advised to take a passenger en
gine, as less risky.
Engine 547 is perhaps the handsomest
on the road, of which Charley Evans
and Jack Garson are the ruling divini
ties. The interior of the cab shows the
result of much thought and painstaking
work. It is provided with an air whis
tle, instead of the time-honored gong, as
a signal from the bell-cord. A guage
lamp has been reconstructed out of an
old air guage, a neat looking glass hav
ing been inserted on one side, artfully
arranged to reflect the figures upon
every guage in the cab, while the brass
works upon it shine with dazzling
luster. The walls are adorned with four
different views of the Reed geyser, two
fine looking glasses, etc. The running
board is handsomely carpeted.
Rock Crusher Ordered.
The city council met last night in a
special meeting, at which a number of
the revised ordinances were read and
adopted. The committee on streets and
public property, with power to act on
the rock crusher scheme, reported that
they had entered into a contract jointly
with the county to purchase a $1,400
rock crusher, with a capacity of crush
ing 100 tons a day. The order was im
mediately placed through A. M. Filloon
& Co., and it may be expected in a week
or" two.
Personal Freaks as to Coffins.
The late earl of Essex was buried in
a coffin of oak designed twelve years
ago by the deceased nobleman himself,
who was a prominent member of the
Funeral Reform association, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin. It had what is
called ' 'open trellis work" around it and
was filled with choice herbs and ever
greens. There have been many people
in recent years, some of them prominent
in other ways, who had their coffins
made to order long before the approach
of death. Maybe the originator of the
fashion was Lord Nelson, who used to
keep standing upright in the cabin of
the Victory a coffin that an admirer hart
presented to him one birthday anni
versary, and in this coffin his lordship's
remains were at last put to rest.
