and Mrs. W. H. Hob son were the enter
tainers. The evening passed in that
pleasant manner, as do all the meetings
of the club. When the scores-were
counted Mr. T. A. Hudson was fodnd to
have won the first prize and Mrs. A. J
Tolmie the second. ,
Lieutenant Taylor, who is the officer
in charg of the engineering corps at the
locks, and who thus represents the gov
ernment in carrying on that work, is to
be promoted to a'captaincy. The recent
death of Major Post has caused promo
motions to be made all along the line.
Lieut. Taylor has proved himself a cap
able officer and his promotion is deserved.

An interesting case has arisen in the
local land office. Some time ago Lewis
C. Baker filed a contest against John
Sperry for land situated near Mosier.
Subsequently Baker went temporarily
insane and was sent to the asylum. The
time for completing Baker's contest
passed and proceedings were begun by
W. T. Meeks against Sperry for the same
piece of land. Baker soon "recoveed
from his mental trouble and was dis
charged from the asylum cured. He im
mediately took steps to regain his rights
in the contest,' making a showing to
the department that the lapse was no
fault of his. This morning Register
Moore and Receiver Biggs received a cir
cular from the department at Washing
ton, which contained a notice to Meeks,
citing him to appear and show caute
why his claim of contest should not be
cancelled in favor of Baker. The result of
the matter will be awaited with in
terest, j-v,
In the office of Mr. Hugh Glenn are
three pen and ink drawings of the Reg
ulator, cleverly executed by Mr. W. E.
Campbell, the civil engineer. The
drawings were made to illustrate the
workings of a "wind spar" a contriv
ance calculated to assist the steamer in
making her landings when the wind is
blowing. The spar is attached to the
side of the steamer bo that when she
lands against a bank with her head to
the wind the spar is swung out and pre
vents her from coming broadside to the
shore. The first drawinc shown the
"steamer landed with the spar acting in
tbe manner above stated, the second
drawing shows her backing away using
the spar as a pivot for turning quickly,
the third picture gives a side view of the
Regulator steaming along with the wing
spar drawn in. The drawings are very
good likenesses of our handsome steamer
d in the absence of nautical testimony
to the contrary, the wing spar seems to
be a clever contrivance. Mr. Campbell
has also made a drawing of a steamer
which he calls the "Open River" a
designation which will be. as appropriate
to the next steamer built at The Dalles
as the name "Regulator" is to the one
which has proved such a good invest
ment to the citizens of The Dalles.

Money Goes."
The beautiful working of our jury
system was exemplified yesterday by a
case which was tried in the recorder's
court. A young man named Harry Lane
was arrested night before last for dis
turbing the peace. He was arraigned
before Recorder Phelps yesterday morn
ing and, through his attorney, N. H.
Gates, demanded a jury trial. As this
was his prerogative, of course the re
quest was granted, and, armed with the
proper authority, the marshal started
out after jurymen and succeeded in ob
taining the following gentlemen, who
were found competent to serve as tales
men : W. E. Sylvester, S. B. Adams,
J. F. Staniels, J. W. Carey,' F. N. Hill
and N. Wbealdon. The city was repre
sented by H. H. Riddell.
After listening'all afternoon to the de
tails of the row, the jury retired for de
liberation at 5:30, and just precisely at
that hour, we are informed by a jury
man, the fun began. The city hall was
turned over to the jurors for their. delib
eration and the plaster of the walls
cracked at the echos of eloquence which
reverberated in every corner. At 6
o'clock the jury had not agreed ; neither
had it at 7 or 8 or 9. Ten o'clock came,
and still they were hopelessly at vari
ance five for conviction and one, Mr.
Adams, for acquittal. As the weary
hours passed along, and all hopes of
supper bad melted with the snow, some
of the jurors lost that urbanity of man
ner 'bo essential to good feeling, add
some rather vehement speeches were de
livered. . Eleven o'clock found them in
the same fix five to one, and at 11 :30
tbe jurors asked to be taken before the
recorder, to whom previously had been
handed this document, which, in look
ing over tbe records of tbe case, a
Chronicle reporter ran against, and
thought it too good to keep from print:
To the Honorable Court :
We, the jury, called to try the case of
Dalles City vs. Lane, will never agree in
God's world, and aek to be discharged
for the following reasons :
First That we have had no dinner or
supper.
Second Our cows are not milked.
Third We have no case of any im
portance to decide.
Fourth We are getting too old to
stand such hardships.
Fifth Jack Staniels is out of tobacco.
Sixth William Sylvester wants to go
to the Salvation Army.
Seventh Mr. Hill has contracted to
work on the railroad.
S. B. Adams, Foreman.
Could human heart withstand such an
appeal as this? Not unless it was made
of harder material than flesh and blood.
And seeing from the looks of the jurors
that all hopes of an agreement were im
possible, and as Mr. Adams said be
wanted to go home and was going home,
the recorder consented to their discharge.
This case will probably be re-tried Tues
day, as the city authorities are deter
mined to eee whether or' not the city's
peace was made to be broken or pre
served. The general opinion seems to
be that the position of the five jurors
was the correct one.
Jury for tbe February Term.
The jury list for the February term of
court has been eelected and a perusal of
it leads to the conclusion that the
connty is going to have some good men
try tbe causes at the next term. Court
will convene February 10th, and the fol
lowing will be summoned as jurymen :
