A CASE OF PIQUE.
WRy
Union Pacific Official Was Running-
Down The Dalles.
Near La Grande, while en route to
The Dalles, I . heard the following con
versation between a Union Pacific offi
cial and a Dallqe citizen. Previously
the two men were talking, each to other
parties, bat were near enough to hear
what the other was talking about.
When our friend heard the U. .P. man
sayx "lhe Dalles will never be wbat it
has been' he turned and asked him to
repeat what he had just said. This he
did, when the Dalles man remarked :
Do you know what you are talking
about?" (Evidently the two gentlemen
did not know each other). .
..The IT. P. man replied that he thought
be did, and the. citizen said ; , "I do not
think- you do, for ' the ' facts are the re
verse," and continued, VThe Dalles is
my home, and I know your statement is
false. We. have just, completed our
school 'census.'which shows 'forty-three
more school children than The Dalies
ever had before, nd the volume of busi
ness of 1892" was the largest in the last
fifteen years." . ,
'You have never recovered from the
loss of the shops." ' .
"I would like for you to tell me why,
when we have more people and do a
larger volume of business?"
And you have never recovered from
the fire."
"That is equally as false as .your other
statements. The. facts are that todav
the value of property in the burnt dis
trict is greater than it was before the
fire, barring the general depreciation of
values all over the country."
The 0. P. man did not have anything
more to say. He was disconcerted add
soon after left the car. The Dalles man
asfcea tne laay to wnom tne official was
talking' who he was. She replied that
he was the assistant superintendent of
the U. Pi Ey., west division. .
I vwish I had known who he was,"
said our friend, "for I could have told
him why hehought The Dalles was not
as prosperous as it was before the. shops
were moved to Albina. In 1890 The
jjaiies Dusiness men witn tne aid of. a
few citizens, organized a company and
built two steamboats to do the freight
and passenger business between The
Dalles and Portland. The .. amount
of business that has been done by
theXT. P. since the boats" began doing
business: is "what he is basing his re
marks on. I do not wonder at his re
marks, taking it from the U. 'P. stand
point, for the boats are doing a good
business and this is not the first U. P,
official that I have - heard of kicking
about The Dalles." :

CITY COUNCIL.
Sustained the Mayor's Veto A General
Talk on Economy, Etc.
An adjourned meeting of the city
council was held Monday evening at the
recorder's office, present Councilmen
Eshelman, Lauer, Butts, Crowe and
Joles, Mr. Hudson coming in late. On
motion Mr. Eshelman was made chair
man of the meeting. . '
The first business taken up was the
Lincoln street sewer, ordinance vetoed
by the mayor, . his written objection,
read at the meeting, being that it was in
conflict with Ordinance No. 24, section 2,
which recites that the expense for sur
veying (in this case $50) cannot be added
to the contract price. The veto was bus
tainea oy tne council, and -tne sewer
ordinance amended, bo as to make the
price $690 instead of $740, and passed by
unanimous vote.
A report was then read from the street
and public property committee concern
ing the city jail, that it was not worth
repairing, and recommended- that a new
interior be built and partitioned off into
four cells, instead of two as at present,
After a general discussion it was decided
that Mr.. Crftndall be employed to draft
plans and submit an estimate of the
cost. .'
The resolution relating to reduction of
salaries was then read, and proved to be
the most prolific topic of the evening,
each of the councilmen, the chairman
included, having something to say about
it. A motion to lay it on the table was
lost. Mr. Lauer then said before he
voted upon it, he wanted to know if
cut in expenses wbb contemplated
in other lines ; ' if not he did not
favor the resolution. This brought
up a discussion about the arc lights
Mr. Joles said that he thought the
company N waa willing to make
a rate of $12 per light for twenty
or more, but would make no reduction
on the high pole lights, as the expense
was $1,50 greater each to maintain them
jvir. Hudson said we must cut down our
expenses or we .would ' go into bank
ruptcy, which was now' staring us in the
face; that our. debt was constantly. in
creasing, wmie tne expenses were in
creasing. He- was in favor of curtailing
aot only officers salaries, ' but other ex
penses, such as arc lights, or we would
be , hopelessly ' involved in debt. ' Mr.
leaner tnougnt tne trouble was . not so
bad as the previous remarks would sug
gest, and said from his observations of
the recorder's books that day, the city
will come out just about even, notwith
standing tne great number of improve
ments being made. Mr. Joles moved
that the street and public property com
mit tee oe instructed to iniorm tne com
pany that the city . would enter into
' contract to pay them $11 a light for two
years or more', to include lights for. of
nces and nre department, or do away
with all lights. Mr. Crowe said that
nearly every business in town was losing
money now, and there was no ' reason
why the company should not subject
themselves to the general condition, and
be satisfied with' a less profit than in
good times. He believed that if a less
rate could not be made, that the lights
should . be discontinued , several nights
each month during the full moon. , Mr.
Butts thought that to threaten the com
pany with discontinuance of patronage
was too much of a sword , to hold over
them, that they had invested a good
deal of money , in their plant, but be
lieved they should make some conses
sions. . The motion carried. The resolu-
tion also carried, it being shown tLat it
was merely to draft an -ordinance con
templating a ' reduction ' in' salaries,
motion by Jolea.: ; . ., ,.'...-.
Qn motion of Mr. Butts, recorder was
instructed to make the corrected appor
tionment for the Lincoln street' sewer
nd give to the marshal for collection.
TJe recorder was also instructed to
notify the contractor to furnish bond
within five days. .
The matter of the, mudhole by. the
depot .was referred to the ' jwliehtry
committee to ascertain if the conijisny
could not be compeHed to remedy it, and
on motion of Mr. Joles, the city should
dump a few wagonloads of rock in the
street adjacent to It. -
A dangerous,, stovepipe from the China
bouse nert the Columbia house was the
next subject discussed. J,auer wanted
the fire warden notified about it, while
Butts thought be should be censured for
not having attended to it before. Since
possibly he bad overlooked it, it was de
cided that he merely be notified.
The railing being absent for about
forty feet next to the warehouse on First
street,' wa3 ordered replaced without
delay.
The condition of the Second street
cistern in the East End was referred to
the street and public property com
mittee. . . - ;
Adjourned subject to call of the
chairman. .
A TALL FEE.
One finndred and Fifty 'Dollars for a
. Three Minutes' Job
In the Bloomsbury county court, not
long ago, Judge Bacon tried the case of
Browne vs. Earl of Annesley, which
was a claim for eighteen guineas, bal
ance of an account, -by. Dr. Lennox
Browne, for an operation performed by
him on Lord Glerawley, the defendant s
son. it appears tnat ijora uierawiey
suffered from stammering. He was
under the treatment of a Mrs. Baker,
who recommended that. Dr. Browne
should.be consulted.. Lord Annesley
took Lord . Glerawley to the . plaintiff,
who put .him. under.1 chloroform. , Eor
tbat two .guineas . was asked .and ipr
the operation which followed a medium
fee of thirty guineas was charged. ',
Plaintiff said be was a recognized au
thority-on matters of this kind and
had received as much; as fifty ; guineas
for , similar - operations. In cross-ex
amination - Dr. - Lennox- Browne said
that, he never promised that Lord Gle
rawley would be cured of stammering
by the. operation. Dr. Collier and other
surgeons gave evidence as to the rea
sonableness of the charges,'
The defense was. that it was under
stood that the operation . would cure
Lord Glerawley of stammering. ; It
had not done so. Lord Annesley paid
the two guineas for an assistant and
tien. guineas - for - the plaintiff.- which
brought the claim down. to eighteen
guineas. '.. Sir Andrew Clarke said he
would charge ten to fifteen guineas for
such an operation.
His honor said the evidence was en
tirely against the defendant. Plaintiff
had said the operation took him three
minutes, but thirty guineas was his
charge. He must, have a verdict for
eighteen guineas, with costs. N. Y.

Fhysicians in Germany.
Germany, whose population is about
50,000,000, had 21,021 physicians in 1893,
against 20,500 in 1803; that is, an in
crease of 1,521. That makes about 4.37
doctors for every 10,000 inhabitants,
but they are not equally divided
throughout the empire, ' for in some re
gions there are not even two doctors
for every- 10,000 inhabitants, while in
other districts there are thirty of them
for the .same number of population
Germany possesses also 915 dentists
and 4,988 druggists.
