The latest fad in church socials seems
to be the "Match" social, which we
notice are being held in many of our
neighboring towns. Now, the public
has never objected to the numerous
kinds of socials given as a means of

of oar churches, and the young, as well
as old, seem to enjoy these pastimes;
but when the church goes to match

a chariot or two to convey its members

posed to be made. Somehow it eeems
evident the ministers are the prime

they receive the most substantial re

Lively Session In Salem.
WATER COMMISSIONERS MEET.
Contract for Improving: Our Water Sys
tem Awarded to the Pacific Bridge
Company.
A special meeting of the board of water
commissioners was held last night at
their office for the purpose of examining
bids for improving our water system. T.
J. Seufert, M. Randall, J. B. Croesen, J.
S. Fish, E. C. Phirman and S. Bolton
were present.
After a short time was spent in the
consideration of minor matter which had
come before the board, the following
bids were read and considered:
Sidney. Smith and l'aquet. bid for fur
nishing all material and labor complete
110618 34
Pacific Bridge Company bid for furnish
ing all material and labor complete. .. M33 45
Mays & Crowe, for material only, and
not including pressure valve 6163 13
Muier d: Benton, for material only, and
not including pressure valve 6125 32
W R Brown, for liibor only 3614 80
The board after due' consideration,
having examined the bids awarded the
same to the Pacific Bridge Company.
It was decided instead of the 12-inch
automatic pressure regulating valve to
substitute an 8-inch automatic pressure
regulating valve with by pass and a 12
inch hydraulic lifting valve, connected
to the engine house on 3d street with a
galvanized pipe, said valye to open
by the draining of such, the addition of
said change to cost $250.00.
Wool, Wheat and Sugar.
Yesterday afternoon in the house the
principal business to come up was the
bill providing for the protection of stur
geon. It was opposed by Eoberts of
Wasco and Sherman counties, upon ,
the ground that it will destroy the stur- j
geoa industry in the Upper Columbia,
which gave rise to considerable discus
sion, and it is more than probable that
it will be enacted for a period of only
two years, to see how it works.
Today Michell's bill providing for the
carriage of sheep by express was passed.
The house passed a bill allowing Mult
nomah county to lease the upper deck
of the steel bridge in Portland.
A bill also passed the bouse reducing
the salaries of Marion county officials.
An appropriation of $25,000 will be al
lowed the Btate agricultural college to
replace mechanical hall.
The house holds night eeBsions and is
rushing all business to a finish.
Dun's Weekly Review of Trade says:
'"The large Eastern advances on wool to
be held for higher prices had helped to
retard the natural decline in that pro
duct, of which 100 quotations by Coates
Bros, of Philadelphia average 18.71 cents,
against 20.83 cents February 1, while
extraordinarily small sales, only 2,614,
300 pounds, for the week, at the three
chief markets against 14,337,000 pounds
last year 7,663,800 in 1895, and 7,099,600
in 1892, indicate very little demand at
this time for manufacture. The truth
is that demand for goods is not helped
by high prices for wool.
"Wheat has been declining a little
with foreign reports somewhat more
favorable as to European crops, and yet
the actual shipments have been 3,586,
947 bushels, flour included, for the week,
against 4,4b8,954 bushels for the corres

PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRIES.
Was a Mistake Made In Awarding the
Contract for Our New Water Mains?
Much dissatisfaction has arisen over
the action of the board of water com
missioners in awarding the contract for
improving our water eystem to the Pa
cific Bridge Co., of Portland. It is
claimed that as they reserved the right
to reject any and all bids, and the bids of
the hardware firms oi our city being in
some instances' lower than those of the
company to whom it was awarded, they
should have divided the work and thus
given our citizens a chance. For in
stance, in the matter of labor the Port
land firm made the lowest bid ; for pipes
one of our hardware firms should have
had the preference, while for gates and
valves the other home firm made the
best offer. In this manner the city could
have saved something like $500, beside
the industries of our own town have
been patronized.
This view of the matter is a very
plausible one, and, to those who have
not questioned the commission as to
their action, seems to be the course
which should have been taken. How
ever our water commission, which has
always served the best interests of the
city in every instance, we feel, must
have considered the question fully, and,
in their judgment, awarded the contract
as to them seemed best.There were ques
tions to be taken into consideration in
connection with the transaction, which
we know not of.
The best means of building up a city
is in giving preference to home indus
tries and home labor.Many who ate anx
ious that the place they call home vt he: e
their every interest is, and upon which
they depend lor eupport shall proeper,
fail to recognize this fact, and not only
in matters of large import, but in the
Binaller as well, patronize firms in other
cities, which can in no way return such
patronage and who ecarcely recognize
such a place as The Dalles. Few of us
are exempt from this charge, and it is a
serious one, when in the aggregate the
amount thus eent out of town is many
thousands of dollars a year. In criticis
ing our commissioners let us remember
that we are not in a position to dictate.
