were for colder weather, and we have it.
No cases of insanity were reported
from Hood River today, from which .we

debt for running expenses amounts to

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

blackmailing. They were bound over in

FOUR VOTES SHORT.
Dolph Loses One by Change and One by
Sickness, Now Has 48.
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

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. Mr. Davis is just (setting his col
