successfully resisted the temptation to do so, and will place them on
sale at the uniform price of 25 cents.

In the matter of the final report of. the
grand jury for February term, 1894 :
We, the grand jury, respectfully . re
port that we have been in session ten
days, and have found and returned into
court three indictments and three not
true bills, and have also inquired into
several matters brought before ns that
did not warrant indictments, upon
which no report haa been made.
We also inquired into the condition
and management of the clerk's, sheriff's
and treasurer's offices, and found them
all in good condition, and all books
neatly kept, and all correct so far as we
are able to judge.
We find the county jail poorly ventil
ated and would recommend that, the
county court have a high wall built, the
same as the present wall, commencing
on the east side of door in rear of the
jail. ' .
We also recommend that the floor in
the county jail be repaired and the walls
whitewashed.
We also visited the county poor farm
and found it nicely kept and the in
mates well pleased with their treatment.
We also' visited the city jail and thor
oughly examined the same ; we found it
in a very bad condition, unfit for com
fort or safety, and would recommend
that the same be repaired.
We would reapectfully ask all "justices
of the peace to be more careful and not
bind over to the grand jury any person
that is punishable in the .justice court
either by fine or imprisonment, and not
to send doubtful cases to the grand jury
to be thrown out, and thereby save
very great expense to the county.
Having completed our labors we
respectfully ask .to be discharged. .

v The convention adjourned
and reconvened at 2 o'clock.
'M. J. Anderson and M. X. Nolan in
dulged in a brief controversy about the
representation in the city of The Dalles.
The motion waa to give East Dalles

tion of six each, or an increase of one
over last year, wniie uutur ana iiooa
River gets one delegate less. The mat
ter waa finally rendered plain to the
central comtniltee, resulting
moua vote for the motion.
Chairman Huntington addressed the
convention briefly. He remarked that
country precincta should not be misled
by apparent differences in town. These
differences do not cut any figure when It
cornea to voting the ticket, and are per
sonal rather than political. If the im
pression is gained that the party in
town ia divided into factions, it will
have a tendency to make factions in the
country. .
Mr. M. P. Isenberg, of. Hood River,
begged leave to make a few remarka and
there eing no objection, he relieved
himself of a great deal of enthusiasm,
and swore to stand by the ticket down
to road supervisor. He fancied be
could already hear the roosters crow
announcing that "victory was perched
upon the republican banner. . He was
loudly applauded.
The convention then adjourned sine

The Whist Club.
The Young People's Whist Club met
last evening with the Misses Story
Notwithstanding the counter attraction
of. coasting there was a full attendance
and the games started briskly. - When
eight games had been played the delicate
aroma of fragrant coffee became notice'
able and all hands were ordered to cease
dealing ' cards. The young ladies, un
oeitnown to tne ooya, naci prepared a
sumptuous lunch and surprised the
young gentleman exceedingly. But the
latter got even by surprising the fair
givers in the quantity they ate. Salads,
sandwiches and all kinds of cake made
the hard times seem dissipated. After
the lunch dancing began, Miss Newman

ginia reel furnished unlimited amuse
ment and a' great good time was had
Those present were : . Misses Story, Nona

Why would it not be a good idea to
call a mass meeting of the taxpayers of
Wasco county, to consider retrenchment
measures? As everyone knows they are
needed badly. . Now, who will take the
lead? Every movement of importance
must have a leader. If no one else
makes a move we hope our alliance
frienda will take it up,' and that at once,
for they are the ones to feel the burden
of taxation the most at present. Can
you get a move on your selvea? If you
cannot, why just grin and bear it.

During the coming year there will be an im

highly important that the farmers be kept
promptly and fully informed as to what is being
planned and done affecting them at the National .

has better facilities than any other papers for

his duty. They will find in it constantly a
great amount of valuable information that they
can get in no other paper. ,
