There was a wedding in the county

Blakeley performing the ceremony. The
parties were Jacob M. Lock and Miss

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

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.

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
