is given a page, upon which is the

in colors. The calendar would grace

CITY COUNCIL-
Finishing; np the Regular Meeting 'of
Wednesday Night.
At the adjourned regular meeting of
the city council there were present
Mayor Kref t and Aldermen Butts, Lauer,
Crowe, Eshelmen and Joles. .
The reports of officers were read and
adopted.
. The electric light question was opened
by Aid. Lauer, of the , committee on
streets and public property, reporting
that he had conferred with Mr. Mc
Arthur, manager for the company, who
said the company would not entertain
the proposition of furnishing thirty
lights for $300, and the smallest sum
would be $360. Mr. Butts said that he
would not -be in. favor of paying more
than $300, and Mr. Lauer retorted by
saying that the city was paying nearly
$300 now for twenty lights, and that a
very few more would aone bring the
gum up to $360, and the city would not
have thirty lights either. Mr. Eshel
man said that a large share of those now
in use did not burn well and believed a
complaint should be presented. Mr.
Joles said that the moon on a clear night
gave as good light as the arc lights, and
believed that ten days in the month the
electric lights could be dispensed with.
He argued from a standpoint of econ
omy. Mr. Eahelman moved that the
whole matter be dropped for the present,
with the promise that the petition for a
light in the pines would receive consid
eration when the council desired to in
crease the service. The motion was
carried.
The ordinance to improve Lincoln
street was put on its final pasaage and
passed. -
Also two special ordinances, one trans
ferring money out of the general to the
special fund, and one providing for the
improvement of Second street from
Union to the brewery hill grade. Aid.
Eshelman spoke on the latter proposi
tion concerning the manner in which
the work was to be done. - He wanted
to build the street in a proper manner,
believing that without gutters the street
would be in as bad - a condition two
years hence as before the improvement
was commenced. This was productive
of a motion that the street commissioner
be instructed to put in all leaders where
ever necessary.
A request from Mr. Dehm to connect
with the sewer between Second and
Third streets was granted. -
Mr. Lauer then made a motion to
grant theuse of the city hall to the
young men's moot court, which was
carried.
Adjourned.
Wedding; Sells.
Mr. C. R. Davis and Miss Edith
Marsh, of Newport, Vermont, were
married Thursday evening at the Grace
Methodist church in Portland, Rev.
Gue officiating, in presence of a number
of their friends. The bridal partv, con
sisting of Mr. Frank French, who acted
as usher, then the groom with the brides
maid Miss Clara Grimes, then the bride
on the arm of the groomsman, H. H.
Riddell, entered the church and pro
ceeded down the aisle to the strains of
Mendelssohn's wedding march on the
pipe organ, played by Prof. King. They
were met at the altar by Rev. Gue, who
pronounced the service ,of the Methodist
ritual. After the ceremony the newly
married couple received the congratula
tions of their friends. Mr. Davis was a
resident of The Dalles for a number of
years, and has a large circle qf friends
here. He occupies a responsible posi
tion in Ladd & Tilton's bank and is a
very estimable young man.
An Incident In a Dark Tunnel.
Two young married men in thesSalem
excursion to Newportarecently played
a rather sweet joke on their wives.
Before entering the long tunnel at Elk
City each was sitting with the other's
wife. They agreed to exchange seats in
the long tunnel and each kiss his own
wife. Well, they did as agreed. One of
the young women screamed terribly
and attracted the attention of the
whole car, and all had a hearty laugh
at her expense, when the light broke
in upon her, resisting fiercely and in
her husband's arms. The one kept
perfectly still, and she and her husbonc
had a good laugh on each other when
the light broke on them. She said she
did not know but what it was her hus
band, and did not want to give it away
if it was not Salem (N. Y.) Journal.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.
Teachers,
' Pupils, Taxes, Enrollment
and Other Notes. '
' The total number of pupils in attend
ance just before the Christmas holidays
was 470. (X. this number, twenty-four
are non-residents and pay tuition to the
district. About $300 will be realized
from that source' during the present
school year.
The schools are now crowded nearly
to the limit of the total seating capacity,
and beyond the limit in particular
grades. ' ,
The total enrollment' and average
daily attendance are each larger during
the present school-year than ever before
in the history of the city. Each num-.
ber exceeds by fifty pupils the number
at the time the teaching force was in
creased to the present number a prin
cipal and ten grade teachers.
Forty pupils per teacher is the limit
for the most efficient work. That limit
has been passed ' in The Dalies public
schools, and it is a question of only
short time until more buildings must be
erected and more teachers employed.
When the equalized assessment roll of
The Dalles district reaches the school
board a special school meeting will be
called to levy a district tax, as all school
tax levies of '93 have been declared ques
tionable by State Superintendent Mc-
Elroy.
The semi-annual (examinations will
close Friday, Jan. 19th, and promotions
throughout the schools will take place
an the Monday following.
Since April, '93, the school clerk has
collected $828 delinquent school taxes.
From '94 inclusive all direct property
taxes school, city, county and state
will be collected by the sheriff onca each
year and but one receipt will be given.
This is the good feature of the new way
and offsets the inconveniences caused
by the change-in the law last year.
