Moody, and his daughter- Miss Dora,, and Miss Edna Moody returned today to fealem. They were in a party which was the first to reach -the summit of Mt. Hood this year, and returned to The Dallea last night. The party found the . box and registered their names. Those who made the ascent were Miss Dora Moody, Mr. Moses, Mr. Langille and the Messrs. Balfour. Edwards Davis of Oakland, Calif., . will be in The Dalles July 13th.,, He is a pianist, vocalist, poet and orator. Every intelligent lady and-gentleman . should hear him. The subject of. his lecture for The Dalles is "The Science ' of Art." Edwards Davis is the young preacher who was given much notoriety by the San Francisco press something over year ago by his dancing in the pulpit. . He is a' natural actor, and was s is doubly unfortunate for Mr. Grant, who is a very poor man with a large family, and he has been making a living almost entirely by freighting. Now that his five horses and two wagons are gone, he is' practically left without any means of support ; besides, if he re cover from his injuries it. is not likely that he will be able to work any this summer. ' . The bridge, it ' is understood, was owned by M. A. Moody. It has been condemned for several years by the bridge inspectors, and was considered unsafe by all who were obliged to cross it. Therefore, it is very probable that Mr. Grant will sue for damages. W. Lair Hill, the noted lawyer and author of Hill's Code, formerly owned . this bridge, and he sold it to some parties who became indebted to Mr. Moody, who secured a mortgage on the bridge. About two years ago the mortgage was foreclosed, and thus became the property of Mr. Moody, and has been a toll-bridge ever since it was built Mrs. Hogan will, for the next 30 days, make a cut on photographs.

The last three named -are" the new councilmen. ' Ex Councilman Eshelnian was also present, an interested and honorary spectator of the evening's proceedings. J The reading oi Dins was postponed till next meeting, owing to the fact that the finance committee had not been ap pointed. " The mayor's annual message to the council wbb then read and received the most respectful attention on the part of the councilmen. - It appears in another column. The next order of business was nomi nation of marshal and the election of nightwatchman. There were many visitors at the meeting, candidates for the. two official plums at the disposal of the city government, -and the friends of these candidates. The mayor pref aced ' the nomination by saying he would present a name which he hoped would be confirmed, one whom he had selected after careful inquiry, and one with whom he could work as well at en forcing the laws of the city as any other man, be would nominate Mr. W. H. Butte. On motion of Nolan the ballot was at once taken, resulting in a failure to confirm by 6 to 3. When the result was announced the mayor said he was sorry the council had not confirmed the nomination ; that he had no other names to submit at this time. He did not wish to be arbitrary, but he had hoped Mr. Butts would be confirmed. Moreover he did not like to name down a list of names for approval or rejection, ad he did not think it was justice to the men, the council, or anybody else. He urged that a second ballot be taken, and on motion of Nolan the request was complied with, with the same result, 6 to 3 against confirmation. Mr. Menefee then reiterated his former statement, that he had no other names to submit, and desired a .meeting to be held in the near future, at which it might be possi ble' to' harmonize r upon somebody. Agreeable to motion, this meeting was voted for Saturday night at 8 o'clock. For recorder, the mayor nominated the present incumbent, Mr. Phelps. He was confirmed by the council. '' -.'Petitions for nightwatchman were then read from Jobn F. Boot, Frank Connelly, R.V. Gibons, W. H. Young A. A. Urquhart, Julias Wiley, W. I. Bassett and Cbris Bills. .

Mr. N. Whealdon then . requested the council to take some action regarding putting in a special watchman at the East End to guard the wool and property interests thee", which were endangered by tramps and incendiarieB. A division of opinion appeared among the council-men,- which Councilman Ross, after listening some time,, unified against the- proposition by stating that Mr. Moody and the Wasco Warehouse al ready bad a watchman employed for that purpose. After that no one would even make a motio'n that a watch man be employed by the city. . The council then adjourned. .. Down Tbe Frnlt Situation.
