Mr. and Mre. W. J. Moore were pleae
antly surprised by a number of friends
last evening, the . occasion being their
fourth wedding anniversary. A most
enjoyable evening was passed by sur
prises and surprised.
At the water commissioners' meeting
yesterday it was decided to shut off the
water where the rent for the previous
month has not been paid, and in cases
where more than one month's rent was
due, to allow the delinquent sixty days
time to pay before shutting off the
supply. i

many passers-by.
It is at this season the continued rain
would result in material injury to the
grain crops. Wheat has been threshed
ana .is lying in tne sacK unprotected in
the fields. Any , continued- rain must
necessarily do incalculable damage. In
the fall of 1893 the fall rains commenced
about the 26th of August, and continued
for eight days. In some wheatgrowing
sections of Eastern Oregon and Eastern
Washington, the farmers being unpre
pared, the damage was widespread.
The Cbbokicle, during the next few
days, will undertake to give editorially
some information concerning the money
question which is not new and will not
be disputed by any who have taken
pains to inform themselves. We do this
because we have now and then met per
sons who have heretofore given little or
no attention to the subject and who have
hoc in mind these tacts. Most of the
city papers throughout the country have
so often presented this information they
now assume it is familiar to : every one.
We shall attempt to present these facts

accurately, having preeented the facts
we shall also preeent our views concern

ner of the presentation except fairness
and a purpose to be perfectly under

Accidental Death.
The coroner's jury in the case of Joh
Swenson, whose dead body was foun
near the door of bis residence at Cliftor
a few days ago, yesterday returned
verdict of "accidental death." The ver
diet is considered ' a singular one
inasmuch aa all the circumstances seemed
to indicate that Swenson had bee:
murdered. The facts that the gup
with which the killing was done was
found several feet away from where th
body lay ; the forcing open of the doo:
vV2!
of Swenson's house, and the testimony
of Dr. Fulton that the dead man's coat
could not have been powder burned to
such an extent unless the weapon, when
discharged, was at least two feet distant,
are. in the opinion of many Astorians

A SINGLE PURPOSE-
The Earnest and Tnde fat lettable
of Mitchell and risk.
A committee, compoeed of Messrs. N.
Whealdon, lEmile Schanno and B. F.
Laugblin were delegated by The Dailes
Commercial Club to visit Senator Mit
chell and Capt. Fiek at Portland with a
view to ascertaining the complete status
of the locks improvement, both present
and prospective. The committee per
formed this mission yesterday and re
turn muck gratified, as much by the
courteous treatment they received as to
ascertain that both the senator and the
engineer are as much in earnest over the
speedy and triumphant conclusion of
this great water way to the needs of
commerce as anv citizen in the land.
The committee-frret called upon Sena'
tor Mitchell, when all went to Mr.
FiBk'a office. Then they learned the
good news that November 15th (on or
before) has been set as the final date for
the completion of the locks, involving
the finishing touches to the new con
tract, found necessary to complete the
middle lock by the ravages of the high
water of 1894. They found that to con
summate this very event Senator Mit
chell had stayed in Washington six
weeks longer than he designed, so as to
follow np the circumlocution of the con
tract being transferred from the halls of
congress to the war department, thence
to the government engineers at Wash
ington. Mr. - Mitchell so brought to
bear all of bis vast energy and influence.
that aided by the recommendation of
Mr. Fiek, the engineer department had
let tfee final contract without going
through the ordinary channels of adver
tising, which would have delayed the
completion of the work another year.
The Days have accepted this last-named
contract and have obliged themselves to
complete the work by November 15th.
Nothing can be imagined that' will delay
the work longer than this date.
The committee find it difficult to prop
erly express their pleasure as to the at
titude of the gentlemen they went to
confer with. They found them to be
possessed of a determination that could
not obtain but upon a fixed and long
continued purpose, and that determina
tion would not be satisfied short of see-
ing the end of this long-drawn-out pro
ject. Contemplating the imDertinerices,
the nnjust accusations and ever ready
suspicions that have sought our congress
man as a target for many years past, the
committee silently but - unanimously
agreed that if possible at this late day
iney buouiu set ngnt oeiore the peo
ple of the. commonwealth. Nothing can
exceed the interest and activity displayed
. i i . . .
by Senator . Mitchell to complete the
locks, and he has an efficient and will
ing colleague in the person of Engineer
