' A meeting of the Native Sons of Ore gon will be held in the K. of P. hall this eveninsr at 8 o'clock. All members are requested to be present.

There is something in America more costly than war. Though largely preventable, it reseives little at tention. It will not be many evenings before Halloween will make its appearance, and with it comes the enjoyment which is to be had in attending trie enter tainment to be given by the young ladies of the Congregational church in the Baldwin opera house. Some of our most attractive talent is to take part in the program which ia .in courae of pre paration . A report from the East End says that unless the street sprinkler makes its ap pearance soon, the residents will have to ' be dug out with a pick and shovel. The nnnstinn is who will do the di?t?me? as we're all in the sand bank. Word has 'also reached ns through the intervening clouds of dust that the most fickle thing Vin the East End is wheat, which has again dropped from 55 to 53 eents. The order of the Eastern Star seems to be in a flourishing condition, ten appli cants being received into membership at their meeting last night. It is not Bur prising that many are anxious to be af filiated with an order in which there seems to be such unity and where such sociable times are enjoyed. Last night a banquet was served and the usual good time was bad. It is rumored that Governor Lord will appoint a fish commissioner under the new law before the end of the week, and that the appointment lies between L. P. W.

A very small audience was present laEt ! night to hear the great Shakespearean reader, but those who had the good taste to attend were more than pleased with the manner in which the selections were rendered. Mr. Wella is undoubtedly a thorough student of Shakespeare, as well as an excellent impersonator, not only of heavy plays, but comedy as well, which requires even more study to make it true to life. County Surveyor J. B. Goit, who left here about two weeks Ego for Moro for t purpose of lading out an addition in that town, has returned. After leaving Moro he went to Grass Valley where he also laid out . Clement's Addition. Mr. Goit says that both of these little towns are very prosperous, and that it is ex pected the railroad will be completed to Moro in two or three weeks. He re ports that an enormous amount of wheat is stacked up at Moro waiting for the completion of the road, when it will be shipped. Mrs. Fanny Wilson, wife of Gordan Wilson, suffered a stroke of paralysis Sunday, while visiting her sister, Mrs. J. T Reynolds, near Sprague,. Wash., and died soon after. News of her illness was sent to her bucband, who was working for Hugh Glenn in this city, and when he arrived he found her cold in death, Deceased was age i about 32, and leaves, beside her husband, two sons and two daughters, the oldest about 14 years old. Her death is particularly sad to Mrs. Reynolds, whose mother was burned to death about six weeks ago. This afternoon about 5 o'clock the marriage of Mr' E. P. McCorniack and Miss Edna Moody will take place in Salem. VThe groom, who is now engaged 'ill'llie bunking business at the capital, is well known in Oregon .and years ago was a teacher in the echools of our city. Miss Moody we claim as a Dalles girl, she having been brought up in this city and still being loyal to her childhood home. While their friends in Salem have the opportunity tcroffer their con gratulations in person, those in The Dalles are no less anxious to wish them every happiness in their new relation in life. "The Air. Ship," a new and original spectacular musical farce comedy, writ ten bv J. M. Gaites, possesses some novel and realistic scenic features, and it will probably draw a big audience at the Vogt Opera House next Saturday night. One of the most realistic stage scenes ever presented will be the flight of a real air ship" with fifteen passengers on a Klondike expedition, and a view of Dawson City in winter. While the author does not claim a plot, "The Air Ship" has a central idea or theme, with which it la infested . by amusing dia logues, new songs, dances and special ties. Careful attention will be given to staging "The Air Ship," and the com pany of artists engaged will give a lively presentation of the same. The manage ment of the company announce that the scenic features and the performance of the piece will be both new, novel, and worthy of cordial support. 1 9 3 - hands.

MAYOR "DOUSES THE GLIM," Or Endeavors to Io So by Kefasloe His Signature to the LlgUt Ordinance. , The following docuuent waB filed with the recorder this morning, to be pre sented to the city council at its next meeting. It will be seen by u perusal of its contents that the mayor vetoes the ordinance adopted by the council at its last meeting, which anthorized the mayor and recorder to enter into a con tract with the electric light company whereby cur streets might be lit with arc lights. ' This, howeyer, does not end the ques tion, for it is to be hoped the council will pass the ordinance over the mayor's veto, as it is not thought the objections are of sufficient weight to deprive our city of what eeeins to all to be a positive necessity : To tlie Councilmen of Dalles City: Special Ordinance No. 315 is hereby returned without approval. Among a number of reasons are these two import ant ones: First, that the lights provided lor will not give satisfaction or do justice to all parts of the city desiring light. Second, that the finances of the city do not juBtify'the council in making the contract. To any oue having bad experience in the couucil during the operation of the former contract, the firBt is a demon strated certainty and needs no argu ment. In regard to the second reason 1 hold that the duty is imposed on the council by our charter to set aside each year a sufficient enra to retire at their maturity the $57,000 citv bonds issued in 1895, and if that duty were not im posed by the charter the dictates of com mon honesty make it imperative that such action betaken. By a statement compiled by the re corder at the request of the committee of the council, i was shown that for the year ending May or June, 1898, the ex penses exceeded" the revenne by about $60; add to this $1000 for a sinking fund and the deficiency becomes serious. If the contract authorized by this ordi nance be consummated it would become operative about Dec. 1, 1898, at least four months before any funds could be de rived from the extra tax authorized and needed for another purpose. At that time there would be about $4890 in the general fund of the city. In four months there would be expended $630 under this contract. The amount of the sinking fund should then be about $4300, and the same proportional deficiency as last year would be $20 in four months, mak ing an actual liability of the city in April, 1899, of about $60 above its cash resources. For the year succeeding that time you have an estimated deficiency of $60; the amount for the sinking fund, $1000; the amount called for by this contract, $1890, to offset which yon would have the amount to be-' realized in the twelve month b from the extra tax the sum of $1410, and the amount heretofore ex pended for coal oil lamps, which at $400, the highest estimate for a vear. in a year and four months would be $535, making an almost certain deficiencv of over $1000 in April, 1900. And this would only create for the council a condition not as eatiafactory as the present condi tion. In my opinion the council will be do ing an injustice to themselves and their successors if they make any contract for arc lights until the right is granted to obtain an increased reveuue of at least two mills. I believe arc lights are an ornament and advertisement much to be desired, but I also believe that the We have just received a large stock of Cole's Air Tight heaters, which will sell from $3.50 to $12 00. Every stove warranted. Call and see our stock of heaters before purchasing. .THE tfrlOTaRE DEALERS., 167 Second St. THE DALLES, OR. people who want them thould pay f- r them and not enjoy them at the expense of future generation1. There has never been any provision made for the increased expense incurred by arc lights, and there never will be if interested narties find couDcilmen will ing to yield to public clamor by rushing from a bad condition into one extremely worse. If there is a genuine desire for these lights the people should manifest it by putting funds into the haDds of the council to Dav for them. Trusting that the foregoing will have your careful consideration, it is reepect fullv submitted. Dated at Dalles Citv, Or., October 25, 1898. M. T. Nolan, Mayor. Deatli of Mrs. Polly l'rlce. The Salem Statesman has the follow ing concerning the death of a woman well known not only in The Dalles, but all over the Pacific Coast : "At the state insane asylum, on Oc tober 21, 1898, Mrs. P. ' Price, aged 73 years, passed away. Deceased was a teacher in the Salem public schools about twenty years ago, and was quite well known among the pioneer citizens here. She was committed to the asylum from Wasco county on the 30th of last July, and yesterday the remains were prepared for burial and shipped to Hood River, where they will be given inter ment. She was the mother of Hon. Mr. Coon, au ex-member of the Oregon legis lature." Mrs. Price was a resident of The Dalles for manv vears, having taught in the public schools here during the early 80s Her home during her early married life was in Silverton," Oregon, which city is said to have been founded on the dona tion land claim of her first husband, Mr, Coon. Dnriug her. widowhood she was a teacher in Portland, Salem and different towns of the state. She is an aunt of Mr. C. J. Crandall and Mrs. Groat, and belonged to a family who in the early years of Oregon was foremost in everything pertaining to the educational interests of the state, being herself one of the brightest women of the Northwest. As age came on her memory seemed to fail, until at length it was found neceseary to place her wbere her malady might receive proper treatment. She leaves beside Hon. T. R. Coon another son, Eugene Price, who is now at Butte. Her death occurred last Friday, and the funeral services were held at Hood River Monday.

For Phe benefit of many heartless owners who are in the habit of coining into the city and Hying their horses to some hitching post, or worse still, in front of some one's door yard, and leav ing them there hour after hour without food or water, we publish the following from a Missouri dispatch. It may be valuable information to know just how long an animal can fast without turning up his toes: "A remarkable case of long life with out food or drink developed here yester day, when a horse, supposed to have been stolen from E. T. Let ton, of this county, on the night of September 25, was found alive in one of the stalls at the fair grounds. It had gotten loose j from its owner and strayed into the fair grounds where it was shut in a stall by one ot the fair managers, who supposed it belonged to people camped there. When found it had eaten all the pine timber in reach,' and' although greatly emaciated was able to walk. It had subsisted without food or drink the whole time a month." Poddin' Bead Wilson Says: "The fool saith, 'Put all thy eggs in different baskets;' which means, ecatter your money and your attention ; but the wise man saith : 'Put all your eggs in one basket, and watch the bas ket.'" We have on'y one basket, and we are watching it in optics. Having made a thorough study of the subject, graduat ing from three of the . best colleges, we are enabled to give you a scientific ex amination. It doesn't matter whether you buy a $10 glass or a tl glass, or any glasses at all, you get an examination, and a thorough one at that, which alone is worth your time to know your eyes. I fit all cases of eyes, and am permanent ly located in The Dalles. I am no traveling fake, and best of all I guarantee all work in optics to give you entire satisfaction. Yours to serve, Pbof. P. G.
