Well, PEASE debt for running expenses amounts to $2,500, and a 10-mili tax will reduce it to $1,500 this year. On account of the meetings being held in the basement of the M. E. church, the literary society will again be held up stairs. Members will observe that the night of meeting has been changed from Monday to Friday. The recorder's court this morning was not ornamented bv anv new faces. When we peeped in we saw no more hardened criminals than Engineer Brown, Commissioner Butts, Council man Lauer and the recorder Fearing to remain long lest that combination should put up a job on us, we skipped. Work was begun on the new telephone line this morning, twenty-six men being employed. The work will be pushed just as rapidly as possible and in a very short time the line will be In operation. We observe where the holes are being dug that there is no frost in the ground, a condition that if it exists through the country, will prove of great benefit, as it will permit the eround to absorb the water when the snow melts, instead of allowing it to run off to the streams. We Are Mot Alone. It seems that The Dalles is not alone in its peculiar taste for theatricals, or, perhaps we should say its taste for pe culiar theatricals. The following from the La Grande Chronicle shows that the citizens of that lovely little city are also in the swim : "It is strange to what extent tradition and sentiment will hold its influence upon the people. Only a short time since an alleged production of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' by a company of rank' performers drew a crowded house, while .nic.ri.ee itanKin, witn a reputation as a character impersonator that is almost unexcelled in the United States, had an attendance barely sufficient to pay ex penses." The preliminary survey for the ex tension of the R. R. V. railroad has been completed to a point in Sams valley, a distance of 12 miles . from the starting point, which was 1 miles out from Jacksonville on the present line. This completes that part of the project and when the officials arrive in a few days something else definite may be looked for. . . J. W. Cottingham, Henn Legore and David Shaffer were arrested on Wednes day by Sheriff Neal, of Wallowa county, charted with obtaining money under extortion or what is usually vailed blackmailing. They were bound over in the sum of $500. Three persons were burned to death n a morocco factory in Brooklyn last pignt (When Baby was sick, -we gave her Castoria. she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. en she became Miss, she clung to Castoria.

The returns from Salem today are not at all favorable to Dolph. He lost one vote by change and one of bis supporters was unable to help him, being confined to his bed by sickness. The vote was as follows: Dolph 42, Moore 11, Hermann 10, Bennett 8, Hare 10, Williams 2, Lord 3, Lowell 1, Barkeley 1. This was the result on the first ballot taken this afternoon. Dolph losing, puts his case iu bad shape and will only serve to encourage those who are fighting him. The defec tion is the wrong way to give any hope that Dolph can win. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad, and when Dolph is defeated the financial queetion will be no nearer settlement than before, while Oregon's chance of se curing further favors from the river and harbor committee will be gone. There is no use of firing blank cartridges at the bolting legislators. Petitions and plead ings have failed to move one of them, and all that can be done is to let the disease run its course. The free silver republicans have the bits in tbeir teeth and are running away at a speed that will only result in their own undoing and the wreck of the outfit. , Sewers Seeded. The city council some time ago ap pointed a committee and employed civil engineers to draw plans and estimates for a sewer system for The Dalles. That committee made Its report some time ago, filing plans and estimates.- Since then nothing has been done with the matter. The cost of the proposed sys tems was so large that the council prob ably realized that it was out of our reach at present. . However this may be, one fact remains, and that is that something mast be done towards putting in a new system of sewers, or repairing the eld ones. The high water last summer caused the - ground to settle around the old sewers, and in many places they are broken. When the gentle spring-shall come again, unless something is done, there will be an odor pervading the city's atmosphere that will not be mis taken for the perfume of the unassuming violets. It has been proposed to bond the city to raise the necessary money, but the fax payer at the mere suggestion grabs his pocket with as tenacious a grip as he will have to his nose next summer, and utterly refuses to consider any bond ing system, and yet, "What are you going to do about it?" Some fossils. Justice Davis has a very fine lot of fossils, gathered in tbe John Day foeail beds, which are, in some respects, the finest in the world, ana contain the los rilized remains of animals rio other beds have disclosed Besides the remains of nrehistorie animals, these beds contain some very fine specimens' of the flora of that ancient time. Perfect impressions of a leaf resembling those of our alder and oak, and besides these many show Order your CORD WOOD from us. We have Choice Dry FIR, OAK and MAPLE, and deliver .all orders promptly. MAIER & BENTON. ing that . toe climate at tnat time was tropical. Cocoa leaves are very plentiful, and in the bluffs where they are broken perpendicularly, run petrified ruBhes that were from 8 to 12 feet high. The stock of these rushes re sembles that of the papyris, but we have not seen enough of the petrifaction to convince us that that is what they are.
