..'Mr. M. F. Sloper of Hood River
visited the Goldendale mines and be
lieve the reports should have read 72
tons to tbe dollar. He found nothing
but a volcanic rock, any quantity of
which may be found around Hood River.
He says the country has all been located
by the farmers around there, who would
have been better off if they bad just
kept on plowing.
W. R. Winans was circulaticg a peti
tion during the week to the county court
asking that body to appropriate $500 for
the completion of the road from Tucker's

The petition received sixty-six names in
tbe town of Hood River, and will p.lso
be circulated in The Dalles. . The Glacier

will see the necessity of granting tbe
petition.

a. very pleasant housewarming was
given by Mr. Fred. Fisher at his pretty
cottage on the bluff last evening. Music,
games, songs, declamations and a fine
lunch served to while away the hours in
a thoroughly agreeable manner for those
present. These were Mr. and Mrs. A.

not to miss this excellent lecture; they
are also cautioned not to mistake tbe
night. It appears on the cards Wednes
day evening, but the time has been
changed to Tuesday, because of the
Degree of Honor entertainment, which
occurs Wednesday night, and many will
desire to attend-both.
The Coming School Election.
Although tbe school election is to be
held next Monday, no great talk is
heard concerning it. The friends of Mr.
Jacobsen and Mr. Adams, the clerk and
director whose terms are drawing to a
close, are desirous that these gentlemen
board of directors speak in high terms
kf Mr. Jacobsen's work and consider
that the interests of the district are well
'served by bis efforts. . A director today
stated that by his careful census Mr.
Jacobsen had brought the enumeration
to a figure several hundred higher than
it was three years' ago. Mr. Adams,
daring his incumbency, has devoted
much time to the needs of the district.
He is a prudent, conservative man, but
lacking nothing in progressiveness, and
to his efforts the present good condition
of the district is in a large measure due.
The talk upon the streets, as gathered
by a Chbonicle reporter, seemed to
show a disposition on the part of our
voters to have tbe management of our
schools continue in the same hands.
Since the above was written it is
learned that the friends of Mr. E. J. Col
lins have placed that gentleman in the
race, and that Mr. George Krause will
be-a candidate for the clerkship. Both
these gentlemen are well known in The
Dalles and have active supporters
There may be more candidates sprung
upon Monday, but these are all up to
date. 1

THE M'KINLEY CLUB.
An Enthusiastic Meeting and
Good Speeches.
Several
The Mckinley club met last evening
and gathered strength for the coming
campaign. The council chambers were
well filled with members, the leading
Republicans of the county being
on
band to assist by words and their
prcs-
pnee, the work of Republican organ-
zatidn. I
After the ' minutes of tbe previous
eeting were read by the secretary, 1.
. Riddel!, the president stated why
ie meeting had been called to con-
iider the ways and means for doing
od work for the Republican party in
be coming camrjaien. Mr. W. H.
ilson started the ball rolling in an en-
husiastic ten-minute speech, and was
followed bv Mr. M. T. Nolan, who in
fused life into the meeting by his well
delivered remarks. Mr. B. S. Hunting
ton was the next speaker and continued
the good work begun by tbe other gentle
men. Mr. M. A. Moody pledged his efforts
to assist in making the McKinley club a
factor in bringing success to the Republi-j
can ticset. Mayor Menefee made an
earnest speech on the necessity of speedy
organization. Good speeches were made'
by Hugh Gour'.ay, W. H. Butts. Albert
Roberts of Descbutes, Troy Shelley of
Hood River and H. H. Riddell. The
speeches were all marked by earnestness
and as was said during the evening..'
Waeco Republicans do not have to go
outside the couty for good material for
campaign speaking.
The matter of holding a big rally f
March 27tb,theevening before the county
convention, at which' the country dele
gates could be present and share in the en
thusiasm was brought up. The matter
was discussed pro and con, some gentle
men thinking it best to bold the meeting
the evening after the convention. Upon
motion, the subject was laid over till tbe
next meeting, it, being suggested that
tbe secretary write to the clubs in the
country and ascertain their preference
of the two evenings.
The meeting last night was a worthy
beginner and it was the general feeling
tbatsuch gatherings could be held fre
quently. The next meeting will be held
March 14tb. '
The Sheep Outlook.
Mr. Otto Kohler corrects an item
which appeared a few days ago in The
Chbonicle that 4,500 head of sheep
were being fed at New Brighton. He
says: "There is at present about
42,000 here. There has been about 3.000
shipped out the last few days. There are
about 35,000 head over at South St.
Paul feed yard also, and as the sheep
market is very dull, about $1.30 per 100
pounds lower - than last year at this
time, feeders are badly disappointed, as
loss is staring them in the face."

The Democrats Meet.
A few of tbe faithful Democrats met
in the court house this afternoon in
response to a call from Chairman Adams
of the county committee. Mr. Adams
presided over the deliberations, while
Mr. J. H. Jackson wielded ' the secre
tary's pencil. The first thing done was
to fix the representation in tbe county
convention. This was agreed upon the
bases of one delegate for every fifteen
votes cast for A. S. Bennett for supreme
judge; one delegate for each fraction
greater . than eight and one delegate
from each precinct at large. The repre
see tat ion wiH be as followsi

April 7tn was chosen as tbe. date lor
holding the county convention, the pii
maries to be held April 4th. The polls
in the city will be open from 2 to 7; in
the country from 2 to 4.
There was not a ripple on the sea of
harmony; not one single circumstance
to mar the sweet accord of the meeting.
Just how many offices tbe Democrats ex
pect to carry at the next election, the
committeemen did not say, but if to
day's meeting was an index to the future
of the party, there will .be no lack of
harmony. In fact today's meeting was
too harmonious to be interesting.
