BRIEF MENTION.
From the Notebook of Ckroalclo
Reporters.
Additional Local on Fourth Face.
Five cars of stock went to Portland
this morning, shipped from the stock
yards of The Dalles.
jlius is collection day when some
people, who on other days can be easily
found, are conveniently absent.
The upper Columbia rose eight inches
yesterday. The Snake is almost at
standstill. The river here is rising.
A email boat was picked up in the
Columbia yesterday, it was full of
water and badly bruised showing that it
had probably come over the rapids
from Celilo.
There has been a change in stewards
on the Regulator and Mr. J. Buckler,
who has been steward for some time, is
no longer in that position. Mr. Buckler
will probably leave the city. He has made
many friends both in town and with the
traveling public who regret to see him
go.
The Regulator took down over 170
bales of wool this morning. There were
to be 250 bales in the Bhipment but the
remainder could not be hauled to the
dock on time. The boat line is showing

Arrangements have been made to have
the HoodRiver and Tygh Valley nines
play in The Dalles on the afternoon of
the Fourth. The game will take place
after hose tournament wheii the heat of
the day should there be any has gone.
The game will be a very interesting one
and a large crowd will be attracted to
the fair grounds.
The theme of the discourse in the ser
vices at the tent tonight will be that of
the "Temporal Millennium." It will
be an investigation of modern millen-
' nium ideas from a scriptural standpoint.
- Such scriptures as Rev. xx:l-7, Isa.
ii-1-5, and other parallel passages, will
be examined. All interested in the sal
vation of the world are invited to attend.
The residents in the neighborhood of
Hhe courthouse were considerably dis
turbed last night by the actions of the
occupants in . a house not far distant.
They had a midnight revelry, which

however pleasant it may have been to
them was certainly very disagreeable to
people who were trying to sleep. The
festivities of the occasion were undoubt
edly due to a large flow of spirits.
The sad news was received last night
of the death of Mrs. Georee Friend.
which occurred yesterday morning at
Kingsley. Mrs. Friend was only 22
years of age, and died leaving a husband
and small child to mourn her loss. She
was universally beloved by the residents
of Kingsley neighborhood, and the sor
row of her death is universal.
The ubiquitous Caroline got on a
drunk yesterday and proceeded to empty
the vials of her wrath on the passersby.
Nightwateh Frank Connelly and Con
stable Urquhart appeared with an ex
press wagon and Caroline was given an
inexpensive ride to the city jail, She
would be a good subject for a. temperance
lecture to expatiate upon the evil that
too much indulgence in stronge drink
can do.
Last nisrht as the hose comnanlea wcr
practicing on Third street Don Fisher, I
who was one of the runners, stumbled
and fell. The bose, which was being
reeled out, struck him on the bead and
for a brief moment rendered him un
conscious. He was quickly picked up
and carried to the sidewalk, where after
a short time be recovered his breath and
save for feeling very weak, was quite
himself again. S
Mr. LePere, a farmer living seven
miles west of town, was severely injured
yesterday in a runaway a short distance
from Chenoweth creek. The horses be
coming frightened started to run and
overturned the wagon. Mr. LePere was
thrown out and his arm dislocated. Two
oi me nos were uroten. ma injuries
are quite severe and it is yet impossible
to tell whether or not he has not been
internally hurt.
The mayor has made two excellent ap
ipointments in the names sent to the
council last night. Mr, G. W. Phelps,
who will oecupy the recorder's chair, is
a, younir man raised in The Dalles and
possessed of great popularity
He is a
graduate of the University of Michigan
law EChool and already has won for him
self wide repute as a young man of good
character and ability. Mr. Phelps has
held the office of deputy prosecuting at
torney and in filling that position has
shown good judgment, tact and legal
ability. He is one of the most promis
ing young men in Wasco county. Mr,
Connelly has made a fine record for him
self In fulfilling the duties of night-f
watchman and there is no one but is
heartily glad that the council has recog
nized bis fitness and selected him again
for the position. To both these officers
Thb Ch&oxicle extends congratulations.

FIRST MEETING OF THE YEAR,
Appointments by the Mayor Q. "W .
Phelps for Recorder, T. C Con
nolly Mfhtirstchman.
The city conncil met last night at the
city hall. It was the first meeting for
the new fiscal year and the new officers
and councilmen, with the exception of
Mr. Ross, were on band to have their
first innings. Mayor Menefee presided
and the following councilmen responded
to their names: Messrs. Thompson,
Nolan, Hood, Eshelman, Saltmarshe,
Crowe, Jobne and Wood. The message
of the mavor was read and on motion of
Mr. Nolan, eecouded by Mr. Hood, was
placed on file. The mayor read as
follows:
Gentlkmbn of thb Council: Upon
the organization of the new council to
take charge of the city government for
the coming year, it is proper that an
outline of the work we have to do should
be made at the commencement. It will
be impossible to give a definite outline
of the different matters which will come
before you for consideration, and each
Councilman should, as far as possible,
familiarize himself with our laws, and
also with the details of our government.
One question that no doubt is in tbe
pnind of every member of the council,
and which is of great moment, is, "Hew
can we make our income meet our ex
penses." Already the council has be'
gun a retrenchment which reduces tbe
salaries of the officers as low as it seems
to me will be consistent with, good gov
ernment. and it will scarcely be possible
to further reduce expenses in that line,
Tbe council nas nerctotore adopted a
rule, or rather has decided to enforce'
law long since on tbe books, that no
purchases shall be made for the city ex
cept by the proper committee of th
council, and I hope the council will ad'
here strictly to this rule, for, with all
respect to officers who have been in
charge in the past, there are many
things which seem to be absolute neces
ities to one who does not need to worry
about how it is to be paid for, that
Would be dispensed with if full consider
ation should be given as to how the bill
Was to be paid. Besides this, the coun
cil alone are the ones whe will be held
responsible in such matters, and it is
Only fair that they should be the ones to
iay what expenditures should be made,
.and net be confronted each month with
.'a miscellaneous lot of bills of which they
know absolutely nothing.
From as .careful estimates as I have
been able to make, it will require the
most- niggardly economy to be able to
keep witbiu revenues, and unless some
reduction is made, we will have practi
cally speaking, no margin at all for im
provements or emergencies. Our in
come can be figured veiy closely,' and I
have estimated it to be as follows :
From liquor licenses t, 4.400 00
Taxes 5,6u0 00
Licenses, fines and other
soorces,estimated from like
receipts in past years. . .... 1,000 00 !
Total income.. . $10,900 00
It is barely peasible a little more than

the amount I have named mar be real
ized, but in my opinion we are as liable
to fall below as to exceed it. Un the
other hand let us look at our expenses.
Figuring on the basis which the council
has been contemplating placing ex
penses, we will be compelled to pay each
year:
Interest on our bonded debt..$ 3,420 00
Salaries of officers 2,881) 00
Lights for streets and offices. . 2,301 80
Fuel, tire engines and offices. . 100 00
Insurance on buildings 190 00
Feeding prisoners, witnesses
and jurors in recorder's
court.recordsand stationery,
judges and clerks of election,
labor, merchandise and in
cidentals, we cannot hope to
get along without expending
at least 1,200 00
Total expenditures $10,091 80
In' this estimate you will notice that I
have only figured on what are fixed
charges, except as to the one item of in
cidentals. This item, in my opinion, is
estimated far too low without taking
into account any improvements what
ever, or any fire, epidemic, or ether
emergency, and yet there ia a margin of
only $800 in round numbers with which
to provide for such things.
This, gentlemen, is the sitatuion with
which you are confronted, and it seems
to me that we shall be either compelled
to increase our revenue, or still further
reduce expenses. How our revenod can
be materially increased is very hard to
determine. I am unable at this time to
make any particular suggestion, but it
may be that upon close investigation
some means may be devised to that end,
and it would be well for each of you to
consider the matter and make such sug
gestions as may be deemed proper.
One matter that has been discussed a
great deal is that of eh ctric lights. I
am very loathe to bring the question np
for the reason" that they are one thing
of which -our city can well feel proud,
and I shonld very much dislike to see
them dispensed with, for I don't at all
like tbe idea of going back to the old
daps of coal-oil lamps. Still what we
cannot pay for we must not have; and
I say frankly that if we cannot keep even
and pay for tbe lights, we must let them
go as 'oon as possible, or at least try to
reduce them so that the expenses can be
borne without leaving a deficit at the
end of the year. In other words, we
must not put on such airs as we are not
able to pay for.
In conclusion I will say that I hope
my relations with the council, and the
relations of the councilmen each with
the other may be mutually pleasant and
harmonious; and that we may be able
to work together, with but one object in
view, the welfare of the city, each tak
ing his share of the responsibility, and
none shirking an honest duty.
' Very respectfully,
Frank Menefsb, Mayor.
