Every rose has a thorn. The acoustic
properties of the meeting hall in the
chamber of commerce building, one of
costliest and handsomest in Portland are
so bad that at a distance of 10 feet, a
speaker's vocal tones would be shattered
so that they could scarcely be under
stood further off. The defect is to be
remedied by workmen at once.
The committee on arrangements for
the Woodmen and Workmen ball desire
that it should be generally understood
by the ladies Cthe coming ball being an
invitation ball) that proper invitations
be presented by their escorts or in lieu
of their escorts. This is done in order
to avoid possible bitter feeling that
might arise on a request to show invita
tion, in all cases given to the gentlemen.
The weather observer draws the fol
lowing deduction in his report for Janu
ary : While the stock ranges have been
generally free from snow, which obviates
the necessity 'for feeding stock, yet the
absence of the normal amount of snow
fall reduces the liability for good range
grass in the spring and summer months;
so that, while mild temperatures have
their benefits to the physical splf, they
are a detriment to the material inter
ests of the people.
Contempt of the County Court.
Mr. Thomas Denton was summarily
thrust in the county jail today at the
instance of the county judge. , This is
another page of the chapter of the con
tempt of court case before Judge Blake
ley on Monday. Mr. Sandoz, the other
combatant", paid the amount of his fine
$10 but Mr. Denton refusing, was colo
I nutted to jail by the court before whom
Jtoffense was committed. Y A reporter
cauea to see . sir. uenton, woo was
found to be in a very indignant frame of
mind. He regards his incarceration as
an injustice, and an unwarranted as
sumption of authority. He preferred
to keep the reasons for his belief to
himself, and would notx be quoted on
the question ; but he undoubtedly be
lieves he can "make it pretty hot" for
his honor, and intimated that he will
contest the legality of the commitment.

far as they have been brought" to our
notice, and as a result of our labors have
returned into court four indictments.
We have visited the various county offi
cials, and have been courteously received
by all and have been shown every fa
cility for examination of the books and
accounts .of the county officers. We
have also visited and inquired intq the
condition and management of the county
jail, and find it neat, and as eecurely
kept as its construction will admit. We
amined the sheriffs office and find the
UOKs correctly Jtept, its officer well
qualified, courteous and obliging; in
spected the county clerk's office and find
it neat and clean, all books well cared
for, records correctly and well kept, and
an honor to our county; inspected the
county treasurer's office, and find the
books properly and correctly kept, and
commend him as an obliging and efficient
officer. We also strongly recommend
that the county court purchase a new
type writer for use in the county clerk's
office, as the present one is of an inferior
make and worn out.
We endorse the action of the county
court . in carefully- examining into all
claims against the county, and in their
conservativeness in allowing the same,
and we especially commend the action
of said court in the matter of public
roads, in making a levy of one mill tax
on all taxable property in the county for
road purposes, and recommend that this
system be continued until all the roads
in the county are in a first-class condi
tion. We endorse the action of said
court in making necessary improve
ments and repairs in the sheriff's and
clerk's offices.
We also endorse the Hon. A. A. Jayne,
district attorney, for his impartial and
business-like manner in the discharge of
his duties, and commend him as an
honest and effcient officer.
We also most emphatically condemn
the city council of The Dalles as respons
ible for the deplorable condition of the
approaches to the city from the various
county roads leading into the city, and
have appointed Mr. F. A. Senfert a com
mittee of one to appear before the next
grand jury for the purpose of laying this
matter before them, if not remedied in
the meantime.
We alBO desire to thank Hon. W. L.
Bradshaw for his impartial and business-like
manner in the discharge of his
duties, for his assistance and advice to
us, enabling us to facilitate our work,
and properly perform our duties with as
little cost to the taxpayers as possible.
Having disposed of all business that
baa been brought before us, and having
no further business to transact, we re
spectfully ask to be discharged.

public at large had supposed their iden
tity was not known, but a reporter
learned today that our officers were "on
to it," and in fact have had them under
espionage for some time. Their names
are .J. P. Bradley aud Ed. Sheer, the
latter having been in company with a
known robber who lately operated at
Spokane. The sheriff returned this
morning with the prisoners, whom he
found in a low dive at the Cascades last
night. They are now ensconced in the
hotel Driver, with a true bill found
against them by the grand jury.

The School Examination,
Twenty-eight applicants for teachers'
certificates are - being examined today
before County School Superintendent
Troy Shelley, the largest number ever
applying at one time. The questions
used are the same with all counties in
the . state. The examination on the
study of arithmetic is said to be very
severe this year," in the opinion of Mr.
Shelley too searching. Those teachers
who hold state certificates - are the en
vied ones, for they do not have to go
through the ordeal of examination again.
A teacher holding a third grade certifi
cate, according to the Oregon, school
laws, must be examined the following
year, and entitle himself to a second
grade certificate, in order to teach at
all. A year later must get a first grade
certificate, and the year following a
state certificate. According to this law,
our corps of teachers should be very effi
cient, and fully worthy to guide the
young idea in the search for education.
