J. H. Carlock, W. Manning and M.
Page, members of the U. S. Geological
Survey, were in the city, yesterday.
They are now at work, about thirty
miles above The Dalles. Among tbe
altitudes which have been ascertained
by them ar; Summit, ten miles from
here, 187 feet ; Celilo, 177, and Squally
Hook 192.7.
Somehow a report has been circulated
that Smith Bros., would not continue
their Saturday night soirees longer.
This was a mistake, and they wiM be
held every Saturday evening nttil the
gentlemen themselves announce to the
contrary. The crowd increases each
evening and everyone looks forward to
them with pleasure.
J. B. O'Brien, superintendent of the
O. R. & N., who has been making a tour
of the road and spent some time in the
Blue. mountains, between Pendleton and
La Grande, reports that the re ere from
six to eight feet of eolid snow in that
section. At Meacham station there
were four feet. The first rise in the
Columbia comes from these mountains,
and it is to be hoped we will have our
warm weather in Sections this year to
prevent the rise being delayed till June.
During the terrible wind storm yes
terday afternoon a small boat, contain
ing two ladies and two or three, gentle
men from Goldendale,' attempted to
cross the river from Columbus to Grants.
They had almost reached the landing
place on this side when the boat upset
and went rapidly down the etream In
time, however, the party was reecued,
but . not until the ladies were almost too
weak to stand. This is a very danger
ous place even when the river is quiet."
The officers who telephoned from
Viento Saturday afternoon regarding
the killing which was purported to have
taken place on the road near there, were
a little previous and, as Chambers, the
expressman who used to live here, said,
"the corpse ain'j; dead yet.V " He was
very seriously injured and thought to
be dying, but recovered somewhat and
was afterward taken to the hospital in
Portland.: Peter McCoy, who threw the
rtcj' eecaped, and last reports from
Constable Tucker said three men were
on his trail. . "
A DalleB small boy who fully realized
that 'tis "not by works alone," and who
at the same time , was much disgusted
because his- maternal ancestor insisted
on receiving some assistance from him
when preparing for a chnrch scciaL was
heard to remark : "Mamma, what do
you gft out o' this, anyway 7" "Oh, my
son, we do not look for our reward here;
we'll find it when we get to heaven."
Dropping his work and looking some
what disgusted he said: "Workin' to
git into heaven is somethin' like a' boy
workin' to git into a show. "May be he
gits there and maybe he don't." -
The Prineville Review has a kick com
ing concerning the stage line accomo
dations between The Dalles and that
place. The reporter" of that . paper
should have been with us this morning
to have viewed the new four-horee,
thorough-brace stage coach which has
just been finished for that line by Lane
Bros, of this citv. It is a beaut,, and
looks as if it would be as comfortable as
a rocking chair. Geo. Miller, who owns
stage lines in Southern Oregon, says
The Dalles has the name of turning out
some of the best stages in the country
and he is now having one built- by this
eimefirn: to use on his lines.

KILLED NEAR MORO.
K. KahlPr Was Ran Over X-RK-. lglit and
Killed.
The first accident on the Columbia
Southern railway occurred last evening
just before the train reached Moro, when
F. Kahler lost his life by being run over.
For a number of weeks Mr. Kahler,
who was agent for a sewing machine,
bad made his headquarters at W. A.
Johnston's store. Not being very success
ful he decided to start out on the road.
As he had no means, Mr. Johnston gave
him some money and he started out Sat
urday morning on foot.. It must have
been 8o'clock last night when he reached
Grass Valley canyon, this Bide of Moro,
and when crossing the trestle saw
the train coming. Beinu an old man
he was unable to' get out of the way in
time and as it was a down grade the train
could not be stopped, consequently the
unfortunate man. was run over.
Presumably some one in Mora had
seen him at Johnston's store and this
morning he received a message inquiring
about Mr. Kahler. Little was known,
however, except that he had no relatives
here, and only a. eon BOe place in the
East. He was a man about 65 years of
age. apparently having no. ono to. care
for him, and one whom fate had not
dealt kindly, with.
' His remains will be buried at Moro.
Fait of the Legal Fraternity.
A number of Dalles attorneys left
Saturday night to attend coart at Con
don today, among whom were Judge
Bradsbawj Dist. Atty. Jayne, -W. H.
Wilsoni ll. S. Wilson and E, B. Dufur.
Reaching Arlington they remained over
night, and yesterday morning started
out for Condon. Messrs. Jayne and
Dufur had seats'-in the stage; while
Judge Bradehaw, W. H. Wileon and
H. S. Wilson, accompanied by a Mr.
Weir, of Arlington, occupied a back
which followed the stage. About the
time they arrived at Dannenan'e where
passengers stop for dinner, probably on
account of being so heavily laden with
weighty legal wisdom, the hack broke
down, causing the horses to run away
and the rig to turn over, du japing the
entire load, with the diiver, to the
ground. Fortunately The Dalles legal
lights lit lightly and escaped with no
injury whatever, but Mr. Weir was
seriously injured, to just what extent,
however, we have not yet learned. This
morning Mrs. Jayne received a letter
from her husband. giving an account of
the accident, and telling her to assure
the ladieB whose husbands were in the
hack that they were all right.
Were it a joking (natter much might
be said concerning the cause which led
up to the case in hand; a jury be ap-
ly it was too serious an affair and too
narrow an escape to admit of any jok
ing concerning it.'
Coucerolug tbe Death or W . D. Jones.
At a regular meeting of Jas. W.
Nesmith Post No. 82. Department of
Oregon, held on April 81b, 1899, the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted : ' ; ' - ' - . ! -
Resolved, That we, the members of
this post, in the death'' of our comrade.
W. :D. -Jones, havrt 'suffered the' loss
of one of our most- esteemed members;
endeaied to us by many years of asso

good friend, a true comrade, and one
that was a gallant soldier. The public
has lost a useful .and upright citizen,
and his family a member whose place
can" never be filled. - To hi'a family
we tender our heartfelt sympathy in
their bereavement, : : , .
Resolved,'" That : we, the members of
this post, judging from all the Informa
tion we have had,' have reaeon to think
the action of the coroner ,s jury in the
case of Comrade W." D. Jones, recently
killed- near Antelope in Wasco" courity,
did'not fully explain the circumstances
of the tragedy ; and we hereby request
that the' proper authorities investigate
all. the facts leading up to and ending in
tbe death of the eaidW. D. 'Jones that
full justice may be done.
. We direct that Iheee resolutions be
published in the county papers, and
that a copy be sent to tbe family of our

Miss Thropp In "A Doll's House."
The Oregonian says concerning "A
Doll's House," which will be played
tonight: "That Miss Thropp and her
company succeeded in winning the ap
probation of the audience cannot le
questioned. The recall at the end of tbe
second act proved it indisputably. Mr.
Montague as Helmer, the typical hus
band of the typical spoiled wife, shared
the honor of this enthusiastic recall;
while Mr. Ryan, as the amorous old
doctor, and Mr. Folsom, as Krogetad,
the weak-principled bank clerk, mixed
up in the forgery, went through their
lines in a way that assisted in the suc
cess of the presentation as a whole."
The Telegram also says of Miss
Thropp : "Miss Thropp is certainly ver
satile and there was perhaps some
question in the minds of the audience
whether her emotional or comedy work
were the better, and whether her eing
ing was perhaps not fully as good as
either."
