ington and Second. Nrf one will deny
but that they are badly needed.
The reading room of the Commercial
club is constantly used by the members.
At any time after business hours mem
bers can be found perusing the latest
magazines and paDers. The need of
such a place is proven to have existed,
by the manner in which it now is being
Used.
Mr. J. O. Mack returned today from
Portland, where he attended a meeting

ful one and arrangements were made for
a good circuit during the coming year.
The date for The . Dalles fair has been
set for October 19.
The members of the Jackson Engine
company held their regular meeting last
night. A committee consisting of
Messrs. Geo. A. Liebe, W. H. Butts and
Ad Keller was appointed to audit the

is nearly at an end. The election will
take place the first Tuesday In February.
The Regulator has been . pulled up on
the waya till her hull is high and dry.
Work will be begun at once, taking up
the planking and making repairs where
needed. A large force of men will be
kept steadily at work and the eouDd of
mallet and chisel will break the stillness
of the air at Hungry Harbor. The in
terior of the boat will be cleaned an
painted while the hull and outside
being cared for.
No word has been received from Hon.
D. P. Thompson explaining why be did
not fulfill his engagement to lecture in
The Dalles last evening, but as today's
Oregonian contains a report of a lecture
Air. Thompson delivered in Portland, it
is probable a confusion of dates is to
blame for the non-fulfillment of the en
gagement here.
Mr. F. H. Rowe of Klickitat is in
town today and is happy over the rise
of water in that stream, as it insures
him plenty of logs for his mill. The low
water of the past season has prevented
him from making a successful drive, but
there is lots of it now, and he assures us
that Klickitat pine will be plenty in the
future.
Another 'train of I twenty-eight loads
left The Dalles last night for Portland,
and was followed by a train of the same
number of cars this morning. Both
trains were compelled to "double up"
before reaching Rowena. The first
train of this length which left The
Dalles yesterday morning arrived in
Portland two hours late. The company
is determined, however, that the en
gines shall do the work, and long trains
will be the rule from now on. -
Seventy-four coyote and wild-cat
scalps were received at tbe county clerk's
office today. They were sent in by the
Stockman's Union of Antelope. A
bounty of $1 is paid by the county court
for each scalp, and as the Stockmen's
Union has also offered a similar bounty,
scalps taken in Antelope precinct are
worth $2 apiece. The union pays the
party bringing a scalp $2 and then re
ceives $1 rebate from the county. Pre
vious to today sixty scalps had been
brought to the county clerk's office.
County court began its regular session
this atternoon. Judge Blakeley, county
Cjmmissioners Blowers and Darneille,
and County Clerk Kelsay were, in attend
ance, while the judges big dog, Guy, as
sisted in lending dignity to the opening
of court. The session, this month will
encounter plenty of work, as a great
many reports of road supervisors will
come up for auditing. It is not probable
that the tax levy will be made at this
term of court, as the returns. from the
state equalization board were only re
ceived today.
A writ of habeas corpus was sued out
before Judge Bradsbaw yesterday after
noon and Patsy Griffin, who had been
sent up from the Cascades because of
some difficulty concerning tbe payment
of his road tax, was given his liberty.
There must be something wrong with
the way things are run at the Locks in
regard to the collection of road taxes, as
this makes the second case of where a
man haa been sent to The Dalles for
failure to pay and each time the alleged
offender has been discharged. The costs
to the county have been large, with no
resultant good. Expenses, are heavy
enough already without having them
needlessly increased.
A freight train, numbering fifty cars,
from Umatilla, arrived in The Dalles
last evening. The cars contained wheat
which was shipped from near Pendleton.
Two engines in charge of Engineers
Earhart and Patty pulled the train.
This year is seeing longer trains run
over the road than previous seasons and
as a result, the number of men in the em
ploy of the company is lessened. When
two trains can be combined into one a
considerable expense of labor is lessened.
There are several engineers in Tbe Dalles
who have been working on the road a
good many years, but this season are out
of employment owing to the reason
stated.
Friday evening the Excelsior ctub will
give a grand ball in the armory. The
masquerade costumes for the dancers
arrived last night and are now on exhi
bition in tbe old Chronicle building
and are of late design and elegant make.
The Excelsior club is one of the most re
cent social organizations of tbe town. It
is composed of young gentlemen who be
lieve in enjoying life and making their
friends do the same. Its officers are
president, C H Brown ; vice-president,
A N Varney ; secretary, Glen O Allen ;
treasurer, S L. Thurman. The.execntive
committee, in whose bands are placed
the arrangemements ior the Friday even
ing masquerade, consists of S L Thur
man, A N Varney, George H Dufur,
Glen O Allen, R A Spivey and C fH
Brown. The membership of the club is
quite large.. -
A meeting of the vestry of St. Paul's
Episcopal church was held last evening
at which arrangements were made for
the temporary supply of the church.
The members of the vestry, who at
tenden the meeting were L. S. Davis, J.
T. Peters, W. H. Lochhead, Fred. Bron
sen and D. W. Vause. When the sub
ject of securing a rector came' be fere the
vestrymen it was decided that an ar
rangement be made whereby Rev. J. N.
Goss should' occupy the pulpit for two
Sundays in each month, the time of the
rector, between the twoconsecutive ser
vices to be spent in The Dalles. This
arrangement will undoubtedly give satis
faction to the members of tbe church
and congregation. Some repairs were
also ordered made to the church. Mr.
Goss has preached twice in St. Paul's
church and the expression regarding
him is quite favorable.
Lutheran Church Organized.
Last evening a large number of peo
ple interested In the formation of a Lu
theran church, met .in the First Baptist
church and took up the work of the ad
journed meeting a week ago. The re
port of the committee which had been
appointed to solicit membship showed
that sixty-two names were on tbe roll.
Before the evening was over that num
ber was increased to sixty-eight. A bal
lot was then taken to seiect a council of
trustees, and the following gentlemen
were chosen: I. C. INickelsen, John
Melquist, Hans Hansen, Mr. Brown, L
P. Ostlund and C. Weigle. When the
trustees had been elected it was unani
mously decided that Rev. L. Grey be
asked to take the pastorate of the
church. Mr. Grey expressed his pleas
ure at this action and promised to ac
cept the call, provided his church in
Oregon City gave him leave. The trust
ees were empowered to draw up articles
of incorporation and make inquiries con
cerning a suitable site for the erection
of a church edifice. : Next Sunday an
other meeting of the members will be
held. - - .-
Assessment Roll Returned.
At the county clerk's office today was
received the report from the state board
of equalization. The changes made In
Wasco county '8 assessment are consid
erably more than was thought probable
at the time the assessment was com
pleted. In the item of town lots the
state board made a reduction of ten per
cent., a similar deduction being made
from the assessed valuation of improve
ments upon the same. - The valuation of
improved lands the state board reduced
from $3.66 to $3.48 per acre. The im
provements on deeded lands were re
duced five per- cent. The value of the
O. . & N. Co.'s railroad track in this
county was cut down $250 per mile,
while the Oregon Telephone and Tele
graph Company obtained a five per cent
reduction. In personal property the as
sessed valuation of horses and mules was
reduced twenty per cent. Railroad roll
ing stock was increased three per cent.
The changes made by the state board
necessitates a great deal of work to be
done by the efficient force in the clerk's
office, and Clerk Kelsay and Deputies
Bolton and Gilbert will have their
hands full making the ordered changes
and carrying ont the extensions.
