Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle Reporters. And now comes the report that a Spanish war vessel fired upon and sank the coasting schooner Irene, on the coast of Florida, yesterday. Novelties in veiling just received by express this morning from San Fran Cisco, to be seen in the show window of Mrs. Briggs' millinery etore. 2t. The Smith Bros, desire to say that the reports that they will gjve no more Thursday night parties, is without foun dation. They will give notice of the fact when they conclude to discontinue them. The four Indians arrested yesterday had their trial yesterday afternoon and were fined $5 each. Three of them paid up, bat the fourth, the oldest of the lot was nnable to dig op and so is still doing penance. There was a wedding in the county clerk's office yesterday afternoon, Judge Blakeley performing the ceremony. The parties were Jacob M. Lock and Miss Susie Ethel Clemans, both of Klickitat county, Wash. Owing, to the great waste of water through closets and from carelessness in closing laucets, there is an immense amount of water wasted. On this ac count tne water commissioners are thinking seriously of putting in water meters. The rainfall at Portland is 14 inches below the average for the season begin ning .November 1st, 1SD4. lhe snow fall on the country drained by the Col umbia is less than half that of 1893-4, so that there is not much danger of another June flood. The remains of ex-Lieutenant Gover nor Laughton of Washington, who died Sunday, will be taken to San Francisco and cremated. His wite arrived in Tacoma yesterday from San Francisco for the purpose of taking the body to that place. Nevada," Walter H. Baker's great play, will be presented by The Dalles Home Dramatic Club at the opera house one week from tonight. The club has - some fine talent, and it is certain that Nevada will be put on in a way to add fresh laurels to our company. The executive council of the Mazamas held a meeting Monday evening. Mt. Adams was unanimously selected as the peak to be ascended this year, and July 10th fixed as the day for the climb. Mt. Adams is much easier of ascent than Mt. Hood, and it is almost as easy of access. The distance from White Salmon to Trout lake is thirty miles, and it is in the neighborhood of ten miles more to the snow line. Today's Oregon iah contains a state ment concerning the D. P. & A. N. Co., in which it is asserted that there is an intention on the part of the company of putting boats on the upper .river, and opening up a portage under tne provi sion of the Smith bill. We are request ed to state that the company .has no such intentions; that The Dalles is its eastern terminus, and that while it of course would carry any freight brouebt to it from tne upper river, and be glad to get it too, that it would not under any circumstances extend its line any farther to the east. Lord Rooney" drew a very good house last night, and after getting it, managed to amuse it. There is not much to it in the shape of work, it following the modern idea of a farce comedy in that the plot was a slender thread upon which to bang a medley of songs, gags and pantomimic effects. There were some very ridiculous things, and the play would be much better if the false 'Lord Rooney" used language that did not border so closely on profanity. There were .many mirth-provoking things, and taken all in all the Lord Rooney company can be called a success. The steamer Dalles City, which met with an accident Monday, did not go down to Portland yesterday as expected, for the reason that the steamer Hattie Bell, which is running in her place, in stead of taking five cords of wood to her, took only half a cord, not enough to get up steam on. The accident occurred at Bradford's island. The steamer was moving some lumber and bad a heavy load on her bow, which caused her to touch on a rock in landing. But a small hole was knocked in her hull, and it is expected she will go down to Portland today be repaired and make her regular run tomorrow. . Seal Estate Transactions. Some Queer Bills. - A close examination of all the bills which became laws through the last legislature would probably reveal several little points that were not expected at the time the bills were voted for, and would reveal the absence of still other things that were expected. The peculiar character of a large portion of such legis lation and the manner of putting it through will easily account for such dis appointments. A charter for the town of Day ton, Yamhill county, went through, carrying a provision allowing women to vote, simply because the bill was a lengthy one and never read, while a short amendment to the McMinnville charter for that purpose only was de clared unconstitutional in the house and killed. No telling what endless litiga tion may be caused by the Dayton pro viso. An amendment to the charter of The Dalles carries with it the authority to issue non-taxable bridge bonds for the purpose of spanning the Columbia river at that point, and it is doubtful if the feature would have succeeded in getting through bad it been noticed. Another disappointing bill, when its features are fully understood, will be the insurance taxing bill. Moat newspapers and its verbal advocates seemed to think and convey the idea that the new bill would raise a large amount of rev enue to go into the general fund of the state and help to lessen the taxes; that it would realize a big sum from the foreign insurance companies, much to the advantage of Oregon gener any. wen, it is a good deal ot a soap buoble. The change from the old law is very slight, so far as aggregate amount is concerned, and not one dollar of the sums collected will kgo into the 'general fund. The provision of the old law re mains which places it in the permanent school fund. The total amount collected the past two years from insurance tax was $5,812 71 ; the new law doubles the rate, hence, should the business keep up, the total amount for the current biennial period would be $11,625,42 Salem Statesman.
