The Elks give a whist party tomorrow

It is little wonder The Dalles team di
not win the first races of the tourna
ment, when it is considered that
the cart they were compelled to
drag was twice as heavy as that
of any other team. Their cart, weighed
600 pounds exclusive of hose, and with it
and the trappings, about 1,000 pounds.
It was almost enough to stall a horse,
and then to think that twelve men wen
compelled to drag this immense dea
weight and rnn at breakneck speed o:
lose the race, is calculated to draw tears
The ether teams had carts weighing 300
pounds. It was comparatively easy to
start off with so light a cart and to main
tain a good rate of speed with ease. If ot
so with the big cart. The effort to start
the unwieldy affair and get it nnder
headway left the boys panting and ex
hausted before 25 yards had been cov
ered. They were in no condition to
race alter such a useless task, it is a
wonder some of them did not break a
blood vessel. The fact that they were
only beaten by six inches in the hub-
and-hub race shows of what superior
timber our boys are constructed. In
this race the winning team also had a
start of thirty feet. The department
should have a racing cart. ' All the carts
in the city are service carts and very
heavy, and it is nothing short of im
posture to inflict so heavy a burden upon
our v own boys, making tnem work
harder ttian every other team to win a
prize, to say nothing of the danger of
losing the honors altogether through bo
unfair a handicap.

five of the councilmen agreed upon a
name, and there will not be another
farce of the kind which has lasted two
months for another ten. It is a mistake
to suppose the mayor and council are
not as tired of the new way of choosing
a marshal as the people are. By the
change made by the legislature in The
Dalles city charter, the mayor is given
supposed authority to appoint a marshal.

An Astoria dispatch says John Sven
son, a fisherman, was found dead at
Clifton yesterday, with a bullet wound
in his breast. At first it was thought
Sven son committed suicide, but Coro
ner Pohl's investigation now makes it
appear that it was a case of murder in
stead. Svenson was the keeper of the
scow from which a woman and two men,
.whose dead bodies were afterward found,
disappeared during the fishermen's
strike, a few months ago. It is surmised
that Svenson knew something of the
murderers of these people, and, under
the stimulus of the reward offered by
the county court, was about to make
some damaging disclosures, and hence
his taking off. x
