BRIEF MENTION.
Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.
Mr. William Watson made final proof
on his homestead today.
One carload of hogs went.tp.Troutdale
from Saltmarshe & Co.'s yesterday.
The Union Dancing Club will not
give their usual dance tomorrow night.
Jackson Engine Co. No. 1, will hold
their annual meeting tonight and also
elect officers for the ensuing year. A
full attendance is desired.
The East End is not as lively as during
the spring and summer months and yet
considerable business is being- done.
Just ask Parrott about that big order for
goods.
Hon. E. B. Dufur shipped by express
yesterday thirteen prairie chickens to
Judge Waldo. . The birds will be turned
loose on the Waldo hills, and if let alone
should soon stock that section.
Mr. S. L. Brooks is having a building
erected on the west side of his brick in
the East End. It is one story, will be
covered with corrugated iron, and will
be used by Rupert & Gable for a harness
store.
The Dalles Cold Storage Company is
receiving some very fine ice, forty-five
carloads of it, which will be used in their
business next summer. When we went
by there this morning the president and
treasurer of the company had their coats
off and were pushing the big cakes into
the ice house in great shape.
On account of ill health, Rev. J. Whis
- j, ler has been . compelled to resign the
pastorate of, the M. E. church in this
. s-j -m r
.oicy, ana, accompameu uy jsxtb.
' Whisler, will leave for his home
in Denver, Colorado, tomorrow night,
This is much regretted by the commu
nity in general, as not only does the
church loss an able and energetic pas
tor, but the city one of its most honored
citizens. It is sincerely hoped his
health will improve.
Mr. J. M. Huntington is making rapid
progress with his present ownership
books. He has about finished tabulat
ing iarm property, and is now going
through the list -of city property and
own lota. He discovered something
PEASE
over 60,000 acres of farm lands tbat have
heretofore never been assessed. Mr.
Huntington has apparently gotten along
with the work very rapidly, but as he
had an abstract of titles almost up to
date, which it took him many hard
months work to make, the work is not so
speedy as it appears.
Fiou Fron Tonight. -"
Judging by the demonstrations of ap
proval at the starting performance of the
Misses Tittell, at the opera house last
night, the production tonight of "Frou
Frou" will assuredly be greeted with a
large and appreciative audience. "Frou
Frou" is a strong society comedy drama
in five acts and an adaptation from the
French, while dealing with the decidedly
blase elements of . modern society, yet
eliminating all the obtrusive features
and retaining alone these delicate little
episodes of the clouds and sunshine of
coquettish caprice lay the foundation for
the structure upon which the charming
drama is founded.
Aa the company leave tonight for
Walla Walla, the curtain will rise at 8
o'clock sharp, so that the performance
can be given in its entirety.
A Splendid Company.
"Drifted Apart" drew a good house
last night and from the time the curtain
rose on the first act until it fell on the
last one, the charming Tittell Sisters
swayed the audience at their will. The
acting was perfect, and the costumes
magnificent. There has not been a play
presented in this city in years that won
such universal and unstinted praise as
Drifted Apart" as given by the gifted
Tittell Sisters last night.
Owing to the troupe leaving on the
11 :10 train tonight the curtain will rise
promptly at 8 o'clock. Do not miss
seeing charming "Frou Frou."
Strawberries.
Mr. Thomas Harlan of Mosier was in
the city today. He has just returned
from Denver, where he went to look
after the berry market for next spring,
He tells us he sold three carloads of
berries in Denver for June delivery, and
at Colorado Springs made a contract to
furnish berries during the season at the
rate of 50 to 100 crates a day, and at
prices ranging from $6 to $7.20 per crate,
If these prices can be procured for the
Hood River crop, there will be money to
throw at the birds there next summer,
and more money than birds.

Charter Amendments.
At a regular meeting of the city coun

report was presented: '
To the Mayor and Common Council of Dalles
jiiy:
Gentlemen': We, your committee ap
pointed to revise the charter, have the
honor to submit the following :
We find the city finances are as fol
lows:
City warrants outstanding Jan. 1,
1895, $47,352.51. Accrued interest to
Jan. J., 1895, estimated $6,000. On this
indebtedness the municipality is paying
8 per cent interest. To reduce interest,
defer payment of principal, and enable
the municipality to conduct its business
on a cash basis, we recommend the issu
ance of six per cent bonds, to mature in
not less than twenty-five years, for an
amount sufficient to cover the indebted
ness.
The following changes are deemed ad
visable i ' I ' . i . . . '
First, The dividing of the Second ward
into two wards (the dividing line to be
Court street), making the council nine
in' number.
Second, The appointment of the mar
10e each. Former price, 50c.
DIRECTIONS.

In fact, nothing will burn on it. Coffee
will not boil over if the pot is on the
mat; bread toasts nicely on it. Try it
and be convinced. For the nursery.
there is nothing equal to heat the milk
and food for the baby. If a grate fire,
lay the mat on the open fire. If the
mat becomes soiled, do not wash or
scrape, but turn the soiled part next to
fire, and burn until clean. .

cil's authority in licensing, so as to

Fifth, ' Empowering the council to or

Sixth, The improvement of intersec
tion of streets (including crosswalks), to
be made at the expense of owners of
property within half a block of said in
tersection. Seventh, Repealing the power of the
council to incur any indebtedness, for
which funds are not in hand.
Eighth, All street improvements to be
paid pro rata by the property owners on

foot.'
Ninth, Assigning the duties of the
street commissioner to the city marshal,
and those of the fire warden to the fire
engineer.
Tenth, Providing for the election of
two water commissioners in each ward
and one at large, in the expiration of
the terms of the present incumbents.
With this report we hand yon a draft
for a new charter, prepared by our at
torney, which embraces the alterations
within mentioned, as well as some
minor changes.
