Only one bid was received for opening the Lincoln street sower, at the special meeting of the city council Saturday night, and the time was extended. The drawing at i'eiise it Mays Satur day night resulted in first prize of $35 for the Episcopal, second prize of $lfi for Catholic, and third prize of $10 for the Methodist church. Great pains has been taken to muke the KriB Kringle party a decided success tomorrow night. A splendid program Some grim genius of dipastcr pursues tbo person of Clemens AVetlc, and tbo several narrow escapes bo has bad from death can scarcely bo counted on the fingers of his hands. Ho commenced by breaking bis leg in three places. Shortly afterward a horse stopped on bis foot, cutting olT Iub big toe as neatly as a biscuit cutter could have done it. Last summer ho was badly powder burned, while investigating its explo sive power, with other children. A few days ago a mule kinked liim in the ab domen. Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock he was shot in tlio stomach with a 32 caliber bullet, and still lives. Nicholas Krier and Wotle were playing with a rusty pistol, which would not work, but supposed not to bo loaded. The boys doctored it up with coal oil and it unany worKco. Krier liau the weapon, i and of course tbe best place to point it - was at Wctle. It was a self cocker and Tbe quiet of the recorder's office was Krier was surprised to see aliltlc wreath broken today by the trial of two persons (of blue smoke follow the pulling of the for fighting.

The testimony showed that Warren was drunk and called Brown names, which most men will resent. Warren threw im his arm as if to strike, and then l'.rown knocked him down promptly. War-1 ren lay unconscious for some time. P.rown told a straightforward story , which was uncontradicted, while War-! ren refused to take the stand. The re corder seemed unable to make any dis-!

He had bis surgical in struments already to start, having caught sight of the familiar figure of Wetle fran tically riding his gray horse for tbe doc tor, and the latter knew just what to ex pect. The father says he has grown used to these things now, and could not be happy unless some horrible thing happened every little while. The boy seems to bear a charmed life, and he would hardly get wet if be fell in tbe river. The lti-ttir Way. The Dalles is said to be the liveliest town in the Northwest today. There is more cash in circulation and more busi ness done every day than in cities ten times its size. The reason is that the town has never overbuilt. The Dalles never was a "boom" town, and now while bankruptcy stares Tacorua, Seattle, Spokane and other Pacific coast towne in the face, The Dalles pursues the even tenor of its way. The city lias a pros perous country around it, which in creases yearly in wealth and population. Perhaps The Dalles has not kept pace with the country, but if this is an error, it is on the safe Bide. After the fire, no blow was made about the town arising "pha'uix-like" from its own ashes, that the fire was "a blessing in dieguise" and all that. The fire hurt tbe town, hurt it like everything, but instead of borrow ing all the money possible nnd mortgag ing what was left, property owners pur sued a course of moderation and today, after over two years, it has not fully re gained all that it lost. It has improved u great deal, to lie sure, but not on bor rowed capital. It has been paid for with money since earned. There has never been a legitimate business failure in The Dalles. Neighbors study what this means. IVoperty values never reached a fictitious figure. Is not this better than to rise to fancy figures in a fever of boom, and then relapeo when tbo bubble bursts? Tbo Dalles is prosperous even in these times of depression. It is sure to grow, but may it never make a mush room growth. We do not need any magic city building. When the pres sure of increasing business from river traffic and country farms crowds tbo present channels, business men with tbo necessary experience and capital will erect more stores and public buildings, and the business will be ready for them, without any artificial stimulant.
