Accord! nr Jo reports the recent storms
liavo done comlderoble damage to prop

swept over the land for a considerable
distance, and carried a few drift logs
with them. A resident of Long Beach
says that the fences around many of the
cottuges were carried away and houses
on the lower ground Buffered consider
able damage.
The tremendous rainB of tho past week
have raisod all the creeks in the county,
and what are usually babbling brooks
are now raging torrents. We have not
yet hoard of any serious damage being
done, but fears were expressed yesterday
that the Hook creek dam would go out.
If this should prove to be the case, it
would Beriouely cripple botli the Iuian
and Rock creek saw mills, but we hope
the fearB were unfounded. Skamania

After two or three days of almost sum

be resumed. It will also add somewhat
to the pleasure ot life here m town,
where walking for pleasure has I. fen

intended as a surprising news item for
local readers. Sumpter Miner.

getting along nicely and thankful that
the kick was not of 'a more serious
nature.
. Monger particulars concerning a fatal
accident which occurred about a quarter
of a mile below Cascade Locke last night,
were received this afternoon. It seems
that a voung man about 25 years of age,
whose name was unknown, but who had
been working above the locks, was on
his way to Portland, and falling off the
train, was run over, killing him instant
ly. Coroner Butts was sent for and
went down this morning to hold an in

Charles Johnson J)len at Portland.
Although Charles Johnson had seemed
to be encouraged in regard to the con
dition of his health, neither his wife nor
their friends have bud hope ue to his
recovery for tho past three mouths.
Whim bereft here four months ago after
an illness of five weeks and entered
Good Samaritan hospital in Portland,
where he was operated upon for other
complaints, Dr. Giesy, although not dis
couraging him, gave Mrs. Johnson and
others to understand that he was tu
bercular, and though he recovered in a
measure from his ailmente, he would
probably go into consumption. And so
it proved.
Consequently when news of his death
reached here last evening, it was
not unexpected, causing, however, the
deepest, regret, for Mr. Johnson was a
young tuun of great integrity, such as
the community cannot well spare, much
less his wife and three small children.
But such it seems are tho first to go.
During his four years roeldenco in The
Dalles his steady habits and worth of
character has been marked, and his
failing health during the past six months
was noted with regret.
He was aged 35 years, having been
born in Sacramento county, Calif. In
1888 lie went to Goldendale, where in
the following year ho was married to
Mite Anna Van Vactor, and there they
made their home until they came to The
Dalles. His wife and three childien
survive him Alma, aged 0. Irene, 3'..',
and Charles, 2. Ho also leaves thiee
brothers in California.
He was a member of the Methodist
church, and also a member of the
Masonic order here, and of the K. of P.
at Goldendale. .
In a telephone message this morning
Mrs. Johnson announced that she would
bring the body to this city tomorrow
evening, illness of the children prevent
ing her coining today, and requested
that the luneral take place at 1 :30 Mon
day at the Methodist church.

ARTESIAN WATERS QUESTION.
The "Chttrk" CnmmlKlnnrra Dlftcua
tho Mutter or during for Water,
At the water commissioners' meeting
last night President Senfert presided,
and Messrs. Bolton, Moore, Phirmnn,
Fieli and Randall were present. After
jho minutes were approved a matter of
great importance came up for discussion
relative to boring for artesian water
back of town and above the big reservoir.
This was brought about by the striking
of artesian water on tho beach a few
days ago. Last fall there was a move
to increase and better the supply of
water by going up Mill creek to Wicks'
place, about eight miles above town, and
a survey of the route has already been
made. It is thought the cost of this
improvement would be from $20,000 to
$25,000. It is now argued by the board
that if nrtesian water could be struck
back of and about fifty or sixty feet
above the big reservoir, or in some other
adjacent locality, n larger and purer
supply of water could be ohtained and
also a greater fire pressure above the
bluff at a nominal cost, rather than by
extending the present supply pipe line
from Mesplie's to Wicks' at Euch a great
cost. It is thought that a six-inch bore
would be sufficient for all purposes.
However, the board does not feel justi
fied in proceeding in this matter until
the judgment of the water consumers
and taxpayers has hern consulted, and
in order to obtain the opinion of the
peopln they have ordered a voting blank
to be printed requesting each taxpayer
to register his opinion or vote as to
whether or not the experiment should
be made. Snpt. Croseen will interview
the citizens at once and so receive the
opinion of each. It will he a question
of spending perhaps $2,000 or 53,000 in
the endeavor to save $25,000, and looks
practicable enough, but the matter
should be investigated by all before de
ciding either way. y
Through the careful management of
Supt. Crossen the claims against the
board for the past mcnth were greatly
reduced, the lust being about half its
ueual size. Mr. Crossen deserves great
credit for the interest he displays in the
matter ot finances, endeavoring as much
us possible to lessen the expense. The
bills were as follows:

A SPLENDID SUGGESTION.
On That .Should l!o Heeded Let It lie
Considered and Then Acted Upon,
Editor Chronicle :
Mrs. Thurman, the colored disciple
of temperance, is trying to arouse tho
Christian women of Portland to a cru
sade against tin saloons. Tho Rev. J.
E. Snyder, the missionary of the Port
land presbytery, has mupped out the
North End, located the ealooiiB and dis
reputable places, and has collected funds
wherewith to prosecute the work of
reformation.
Have not the citizens of The Dalles an
interest in a similar reform? Surely
there is no place in greater need of such
an effort.
It is an accepted fact that two objects
cannot occupy the same space. There
fore, two intereets cannot wholly ab
sorb the same mind ; when one increases
the other decreases. Following up this
thought would it not be a wise idea to
substitute some other attraction for that
of the saloon?
The saloon is a legalized business, and
being under tho protection of law, un
lawful means should not be used in an
attempt to free the city from the liquor
traffic, notwithstanding many feel deeply
in the matter.
What are the Christian people of this
little city built among (the rocks, its
foundation washed by the waters of the
largest river of the West, its outlook
upon tho hills, from whence comelh
strength what are they doing, or going
to do to overcome this evil?
There- are churches of every denomin
ation, lifting their spires heavenward;
there uro numerous women's societies in
active organization (God bless them! tho
churches couldn't live without them;)
hut what practical Christian work ate
they engaged In? It is true, one is get
ting up a splendid cook book; another
is muking pastry for sale, nice enough
to tempt un epicure (what does it matter
if the original outlay is ae great as that
obtained from tho sale, and1 might as
well have been given outright() and still
another meets in tho parlors of its mem
bers, drinks coffee, eats ice cream nnd
enjoys Itself.
Suppose they wero to combine forces
for any reform think you they would
fall In anything so undertaken? There
Bro vacant rooms down town which
doubtless would be loaned for nny good
cauee at least until a paying tenant
was forthcoming and these women
banded together soon could have such
an attractive reading-room,wlth a cup of
hot coffee thrown in, that the lonely
stranger In town could not pass it by.
Where now is the place where tho dis
charged farm laborer, sheepherder, or
cowboy, who always gravitate to town
as soon as out of employment, can spend
an hour or two in tho Rfternoon or
evening, other than the saloon? Tney
always stand ready to give them a hearty
welcome, and, incidentally securo the
mostof their hard-earned savings.
The success of the work of the women
as evinced by the Emergency Corps
shows how much can be accomplished
by determined women when united for
any cause, and tho plan of working in
detachments, aa did those self-sacrificing
women, would be a good one where
on to build tho efforts of a public read
ing room in The Dalles.
Don't scoff at thev idea, and say that it
would not succeed, because long Hgo
there was such a place which had to be
abandoned. Profit by past failures nnd
try again. "Has beens" are not a good
thini: to live upon.
