every month of tho year," eoid a visitor
to our city recently, "and I can never
remember of being here when a force of
men were not tearing up the etreets to
mend some broken down sewer." There
is moro truth than poetry in tho asser
tion of this gentleman, and if the money
expended on repairs were used in put
ting in a new system, ub contemplated,
how much bettor it would be. Today
workmen are busy digging up Washing
ton street to repair a cave-in at t lie
corner ot Third. Would it not bo hotter
to remedy the entire evil at once?

the deck hands neglected to fasten the
guard gate, and Andrews took a swim
inconsequence. Leaning over the gate
to see if tho Regulator was in sight,
Andrews found it was not so substantial
as it ehould have been and was eoon out
of sight himself. It was then no joking
matter, but he held on to the gale until
a email boat was Eent out to his rescue.
It is eaid the engineer was in the water

If tho opening party given by the
Columbia Dancing Club is a criterion by
which to judge the remainder of those
which ill be given during the winter,
there is any amount of enjoyment ahead
for the memberH of the club. While
there are seventy members, only about
forty couples were present, which, how
ever, is a sufficient number to make
dancing comfortable, and will perhupB
be about the average of those attending.
The club was liappy in its choice of a
hail, for although another hall might
be cozier and more easily decorated,
there is no floor in town so easy to dance
on, as that of the Baldwin opera house,
having a spring which is lucking in
tho other halls. Prof. Birgfeld and
Mies Schmidt furnished the music, which
was greatly appreciated, particularly
the latest catchy selections. There was
a freedom and friendly atmosphero prev
alent which is eure to make these parties
fill a vacancy which was so noticeable
last winter, and all are expecting they
will be tho society events of tho 'season.

The latest dispatch from Goldendule

comes branded ae simply another report,
eo we do not vouch for it, nor anything

"A report has reached Goldendalo and
was today confirmed by W. W. Ames of
Columbus, that a seven-mile contract
of the Dalles portage railway construc
tion had been let to a Mr. McDonald of
Portland. Also that active rock work
had already begun on a portion of tho
contract. With tho seven miles con
structed it is said boat9 may make con
nection from the lower river at Big Eddy
and also ut Celilo Flats on the upper
river. It is reported the Central Navi
gation Company has recently puichased
the Jensen farm near Celilo Flats and
also it Is said that a rival town to Rock
land is probable to spring into existence
at the Jensen homestead. The fisheries
at that point, which supply the Celilo
cannery have a national reputation.
The Klickitat valley wheat fields will be
ten miles nearer the prospective shipping
point than to The Dalles, and by a
wagon road that will avoid the present
sand blows.
"Mr. Amea has great faith in the

Indian Joe Andrew Lost Tils Head by
Drinking Flro Water.
Like raanv of his foolish white
brothers, one of the Indians of whom we
spoke yesterday, nllowed his love for
fire water to bo the cause of his death,
and Joe Andrews got on a Epree yeEter
day, which resulted literally in the loss
of hie head.
He came to the Ciiuonicle office in
the afternoon Belling Indian baskets and
showing signs of being somewhat
"happy," we immediately sent him to
the neighbors. It seems that he con
tinued drinking all nfternoon, and at 0
o'clock Indian Pete met him down on
First street and lie asked Pete to go
over to Howe's Baloon and get a drink.
He refused, and told Joe to go home,
but Joe Bald li was going up to the
East End where omo gambling was
going on ainon tho Indians, and started
up First street. At 10:30 J. II. Furlong,
night yard master, jumped on tho ca
boose step of a freight train which was
coming in from the West juet as it
reached the Wasco warehouse, anil
found Joe on the sten on the opposite
side, when he made him get oil'.
At 3:30 when u freight train was com
ing in from Umatilla aud switched oil'
on a side track, E. F. Mille, the brake -man,
and another man sawn body on
tho track about 100 yarila nbovo the
Wasco warehouse. Investigating they
found it to bo an Indian, whose body
was lying across tho track with his neck
toward the east and ids head about two
feet away.
In the absence of Coroner Butts, Re
corder Gatca nnd an undertaker went up
and brought tho body down and this
morning an inquest was held with the
following result :
In tho matter of the inquest over the
body of Joe Androws:
Wo the jury summoned by Ned N.
Gates, reeorderof Dalles City, and ex
nfllcio justico of the peace, to inquire
into the cause of tho death of tho body

nesses produced 1 fore us, and after
careful consideration, find the following
facts:

OLD-TIME SINGING SCHOOL.
Islta Thing or tliii I'ast-IfSo, Why Ih
.Such I ho Cufcf?
In n previous iseue of Tin: Chronicle
attention was called to the absence of
the old-time singing school ; and of the
great need which existed for such in
struction among the young.
There are high priced vocal teachers,
but what we need is class teachers,
where for a nomiual sum the young may
bo taught to read music and cultivate
their voices to a reasonable extent.
We clip the following from tho Ore
gonian, us it expresses our sentiments
exactly :
"The mother of two girls of ten nnd
sixteen years, whom she wishes to learn
to sing , said yesterday: 'I wish there
were old-fashioned singing schools now,
the same as I used to to down East,
when I wan a girl.'
"Ic appears that such schools have
gone nut of fashion, and the question ia
what has taken their place, ami how
aro tho boys ami girls now taught to
sing. Tho woman who made tho re
mark was asked if the public schools did
not furnish instructions in music, hut
seems to bo of tho opinion that they did
not. A few yeara ago all tho pupils in
tho public schools were given instruc
tions iu music, and the time devoted to
singing was greatly enjoyed by them,
and they learned to sing till sorts of
patrotic songs. Then, for somo reason,
music was dropped Iu tho Hcliool for
several years. Of late it lias been taken
up again iu tho upper grades, and U be
ing extended, it is said, down to the
lower grades by degreee. An educator
a iys that a child can learn moru about
music in the tCn minutes devoted to
it dally in the public sclioola than could
ho learned in tho old-fashioned singing
schools, which met onco a week, 'id's
is probably true, but it seema that the
instruction in music given, or supposed
to ho given, in the public schools ia not
entirely satisfactory to all parents.
Many teachers in the rchoola know
nothing about music, aud m.iny porentt
would not complain if their children
wero not taught singing in the sclioola
if there were any other place where they
could be Instructed in this accomplish
ment. Of course, thero aro plmty of
teachers of singing who take pupils who
are far enough advanced aud charge i'2
to f. per hour for training them ; but
tills is an expense that not all parents
can stvnd, The question Is, how or
where can children who have no in
tention of becoming operu singers or
members of a church choir, but who
liav'i voices which am worth being cul
CUhiskey.
tivated to a reuonable extent, receive
their cultivation, at a reasonable price,
outside of the public schools? Aro thero
any old-foshionod singing ichoo'e now
adays, and, if not, why not?"
