In the absence of the city recorder,
his honor Mayor Bolton presided over
the police court this afternoon. Two
gentlemen whose legs had grown weary

dollars against each of them, and turned
them over to the street commissioner.

trifle hisrh for the concession. The

does not want to buy a distillery and
stock it for someone else. This informa

A Neglected Congregation In The Dalles.
Upon the streets of our city way be
seen nearly every evening, a large con
gregation of quiet and attentive listeners
including people from the surrounding
country, as well as residents here, many
of whom evidently seldom, if ever,
attend divine service in any regularly
appointed place of worship. Here along
tbe streets, of our city, the enemy has
chosen his ground and massed his forces.
Into the sinks of iniquity in The Dalles
(and there are not a few of them) the
young of our city, and many others, are
being constantly" drawn to destruction.
Brethren, let us stand in the breach.
Does not your commission read "into
the highways?". And do we not need and
shall we not have tbe Gatling guns and
great ordnance as well as blowing of
bugle, marching and rattling of a few
musketry?
On our way to our beautiful temples of
worship, where so many empty pews
await us, in this our Jerusalem, suppose
we stop just long enough on the street
to pour in a volley into the enemy's
rank. On our way up to the temple to
worship Almighty God, let us stop just
long enough, at least, to pour a little of
our abundance of the oil of the Gospel
into the wounds of our fallen brethren.
Don't let's "pass by" any longer "on the
other side." Will our reputation, die-
nity or piety suffer irreparable loes by so
doing? How else can we save men but
by personal contact with them every
where? If our "clean hands" or linen
get a little soiled the fountain is open
you know. '
A good part of the past year I have re
sided in this city and been a regular
attendant upon divine service ; and dur
ing the brief time the Salvation Army
have labored here I have seen more
people Beeking for pardon of sin and the
gift of the Holy Spirit, than in all the
rest of the time. Then help the srood
work.- Jason B. Goeham.
The Dalles, Aug. 16, 1894.
The City Council.
The city council met last night but
transacted but little business. The city
recorder left for a week'8 outing early
this morning and as h 9 takes bis minutes
in shorthand and had not written them
up it is impossible to give them in de
tail. '
Among other things that were done,
however, was the election of a street
commissioner. Tbe first ballot resulted
as follows: Maddron 2, blank 1, Butts
3. The second Maddron 1, blank 1,
Klein 1, Butts 3. . Tbe third Maddron
1, blank 1, Batts 4, and Mr. Butts was
declared elected.
A petition was presented from tbe I.
O. G. T. concerning the liquor business.
On motion the city marshal was in
structed to enforce city ordinance-273
This is the ordinance concerning saloons
requiring that they be closed Sundays,
that no minors be allowed in them and
that no gambling be permitted. There
are no doubt some other things hidden
in- the hen tracks of the city recorder's
notes bat after examining them we con
eluded that only a very lo order of in
telligenee was capable - of using such
hieroglyphics for the purpose of convey
ing thought and so left them until the
recorder returns. They were too measly
low down for as.
With but little care and no trouble; tbe
beard and mustache can be kept a
uniform brown or black color by using
Buckingham's Dye for the Whiskers.
We have again on hand
an abundance of strictly
dry FIR WOOD, which
we will sell at the lowest
rates.

Where Ocean Cables Are Thickest.'
The cable map of the world, pre
pared by the United States navy de
partment, shows that the Mediter;
ranean is thickly netted with cables
west of Malta. So is the North At
lantic between the thirty-eighth and
fifty'fifth parallels. . The North sea,
the Red sea and the Arabian sea have
many cables. The only great unbridged
spaces are the . Pacific, the South At
lantic and the great stretch of the In
dian ocean between Madagascar and
Australia. There is no considerable
cable north of " Stockholm or south of
Nelson, New Zealand. The Black sea
is completely girdled by land lines and
: crossed by one cable. . The Gulf of
Mexico is crossed, though not at its
widest, by several cables, and the
waters of the West Indies . are ' becom
ing thickly netted with short cables.
