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

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

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.

PEASE' '&. MAYS.
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

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.

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."

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
