There was nothing Saturday night
that would shock the sensibilities of the
most orthodox, but on the contrary, the
most devout Christaiu, had he attended
the performance, would have found the
purest of legitimate fan to amuse him ;
he could have extracted political wisdom
from a stump Epeech; found preempts in
the sparkling dialogue; he could have
even found praise forthe Creator in en
dowing the human voice with the qual
ity of music, for it reached its highest
expression iu the melody of theSawanee
river quartette, and demonstrated anew
the fact that the unaccompanied natural
voice is as much above every human
contrivance for expressing the divinest
harmony, as the heavens are above the
earth. The fact Bhould not cause won
der or doubt. The voice is of heavenly
and the violin of earthly origin. The
wares of each cannot but continue the
proportion that exists in their makers.
The solos of Btssie Gillam and Eillen

Senator Mitchell's bill becomes a law.
It is a good deal to hope for, but all
things must have a beginning. A build
ing of the magnitude proposed will some
time be built in The Dalles, but it is a
long way between the introduction of a
bill and the laying of the cornerstone.
Mr. Crossen might do well to recom

ably there will be a bridge across the
river by the time Mitchell's bill bears
fruit.

A telegram was received this morning
from Hon. "W. R. Ellis by Mr. Robert
Mcintosh, of personal interest to him
self, as well as hundreds of others
throughout Wasco and Sherman coun
ties, who have acquired land by pur
chase, of the Northern Pacific land
grant. It is to the effect that the bill to
protect eaid settlers has become a law by
the signature of the president. In many
cases homesteaders have settled on these
lands, believing they could not be dis
turbed, causing much trouble and un
easiness with those who had U prior
claim. Of the latter number is Mr. Mc
intosh, whose rights, in pursuance of
the provisions of the new law, are un
assailable. The Hood River Mass Meeting:.
Saturday was an exciting day for the
people of our neighboring town. Since
the granting by the county court of a
lease to the Hood River Lumbering Co.
giving them the right to charge for ma-'
terial floated down the stream, there
has been much expression of opinion on
the part of Hood River people against
the action of the court. The meeting
Saturday was called for the purpose of
stock being taken in the Valley Im
provement Co., a concern which, it is
thought,' will do much for the develop
ment of the valley and town. The Odd
Fellows hall was crowded to its fullest
capacity with prominent citizens when
a Chronicle representative entered the
room, The topic then nnder considera
tion was the statement made by the
Valley Improvement Co. that if the
lease granted by the county court were
allowed to stand, the Valley Improve
ment Co. could not go on with its ex
pected enterprise.
Many of the citizens gave expressions
of opinion, all of which were in antipa
thy to the lease. A . motion was made
and carried that a committee be ap
pointed to draft resolutions expressing
the sentiment of the meeting; but be
fore action was taken, Hon. J. H. Cra-
dlebaugh was called upon to give his
opinion on the situation, which he did
in a most excellent epeech, remarkable
for its candor, good feeling and clear
ness. Mr. Cradlebaugh stated he was
sure that if an injury had been done the
people of Hood River by the county
court, there was a lack of any such in
tention on the part of the judge and
commissioners. The lease provided
that the Hood River Lumbering Co
should obtain the right of way along
Hood river, and if the property owners
did not wish to grant it euch, action
would, in his opinion, abrogate the
lease. Mr. Cradlebaugh was successful
in so elucidating the matter that at the
close of his speech a better feeling was
everywhere prevalent.
It ia the expressed determination of
some ofr the leading residents to take
legal steps to have the lease broken. It
cannot be denied that the sentiment
against it .is very strong, though much
of the personal feeling has been allayed.
The legal aspect of the case will be the
interesting side from now on. At the
close of the meeting over $3,000 worth of
stock in the Vulley Improvement Co.
was subscribed.
The Flying Machine Company.
Mr. E. Di Parrott, inventor, belong
ing to the Parrott Aerial Navigation Co.
has issued a circular to the stockholders
calling for funds, offering each a chance
to double the number of shares at pres
ent held, but no more, at a par value of
$1 per Bhare. Mr. Parrott calls atten
tion to the fact that the Parrott Aerial
Navigation Co. has failed to furnish
funds to carry on the work as per agree
ment, therefore making his contract
null and void, and as the work must and
wilLproceed anyway, it is not his inten
tion to freeze out anv one stockholder.
Mr. Parrott continues: 'I therefore
take this plan to notify ell that are con
cerned and want to avail themselves of
this opportunity to remit $1 to me (by
March 1st, 1896,) for.each share wanted.
This offer will only extend to March 1st.
If this $1 is an unanimous subscription,
then the work .will still be property of
the P. A. N. Co. Otherwise it will only
be owned by those remitting the $1.
This $1 subscription is to be nsed in con
structing a email model flying machine
of about one horse power. There will
be no expense in organizing until this
model is completed."

On Monday evening of next week an
entertainment will be given in Frater

time has been devoted to this entertain
ment by the superintendent and chil
dren, and is more than worth the price
of admission. A cordial invitation is
extended to all people, old and young,
who wish to encourage children to take
an early stand for temperance. Price of
admission, 10 cents.
