Judge Miller oould postpone sen
tencing Green until after the 14th of
June, and then he could be hangrd at
the state penitentiary under the new
law. We believe it to be the wish of a
large majority of the belt citizens of the
county to have the law carried out in
this manner. There is a strong senti
ment m this country against public
hanging, and that is what it would be
if carried out here. A few days of
miserable existence is not begrudged
the murderer so long us we know the
punishment is sure. Skamania Pioneer.
The attendance at the Meneley Trio
entertainment last night filled theM. E.
church to the door. If expectation ran
high, it was met und more than met.
The audience was delighted beyond
measure, not only with the healthy
moral tone that pervaded every part of
the entertainment, but with the marked,
not to say extraordinary, ability of the
little company of entertainers. "I
wouldn't have missed it for anything,"
was the prevailing sentiment. Should
the Meneley Trio ever favor The Dalles
witli another visit they can bank on u
most cordial welcome.

George W. McCoy, of Portland, who
gained considerable notoriety in this
county u few years ugo through his con
nection with tho Cluar creek and Wu
piuitia irrigating dilcli scheme, today
filed three claims of water rights, two of
which are in effect a re-filing of the old
ditch claims under a new name, that of
tho Western Land Irrigation Lumber
fc Fuel Co. One claim ' calls for 120,000
miners' inches o( water from Clear creek.
Another calls for 50,000 inches from
Fro,; Lake creek, und the third calls for
a storago reservoir site at the outlet of
Clear Lake, and the erection of a dam
for u reservoir estimated to hold 70,000,
000 cubic feot of water.
The piny of the "Irish Duke" attracted
to tho Yogt opera house last night a

to learn that the financial results, while
n no sense commensurate with the
abor and patience expended in prepare
ory work by Professor Smith, left a
: easonably fair balance on the right aide

Friday night, April 2fith, at the Vogt
opera house, this great comedy will be
presented. Written by Broneon How
ard (the author of Shenandoah) for the
well-known actors, Stuart Iiobson and
William H. Crane. The play had a
large success when these two comedians
were together, and has since been played
by Mr, RohBon with unequalled success
for ten years. It 1b today his best play
and never fails to fill the theater.
The scene is New York City, and the
theme deals with American life as it is.
The two characters, "Nicholas Yan Al
styne," Sr., and "Bertie Yan Alstyne,"
his son, are types, the old man being a
multi-millionaire and a railroad mag
nate; "Bertie" a typical dude. The old
man, it is said, was suggested to Mr.
Howard by an incident in the life of
William II. Vanderbilt. The other
parts are drawn true to life, and the
comedy element is very 6trong. In fact,
with the exception of oiib or two char
acters, nearly all are portrayal of com
edy. The lines are witty und the satire
keen.
The cast is as follows:
Nicholas VmiAlstynu, Sr. (cullul "Old Nick"

A Marked Injnutlce.
It is reported, on good authority, that
Wasco county is to assess and tax all the
wool that waa in the warehouses iu The
Dalles on the first day of March, (hie
year, claiming the right to do this under
the Looney law passed by the last legis
lature, which rends as follows:
"All goods, wares and merchandise
kept for sale in this state, all stock em
ployed in any of the mechanical arts,
and all capital and machinery employed
in any branch of manufactures or other
business within this state, owned by a
corporation In or out of this state, or by
any person, whether residing in or out
of the state, shall he taxable in tho
county or city or other municipal corpo
ration where the same may be, either to
the owners thereof or to the person or
corporation who shall have charge of or
be in possession of the same."
It was not the intent of the law to tnx
wool, wheat, etc., ontsldo of the coun
ties in which produced, but wo suppose
it enn be done, unless there may be a
technical loophole to crawl out of, on.the
plea that the wool was kept for consign
ment and not for Eale. If the wool be
taxed in The Dalles, where the levy is
about four pel cent, it wil result in a
great loss to that city In the future.
Wasco county has no moral right to
tax Wheeler county produce, raised by
Wheeler county people and still in the
possession of the producers, and If it ex
acts such this year, it will probably be a
long time ere it have the opportunity
again. It is not always wise to kill the
goose that lays the golden egg.
The writer was present in the senate
chamber when Senator Looney secured
the passage of bis bill above referred to,
and heard him explain its object as be
ing lo reach stocks of goods in cities,
owned by merchants residing outside
the city limits, and we know that he
never intended such a thing as to tax
produce of one county in another coun
ty, simply because the nearest or handi
est warehouse happened to be situated
over the line. But it takes a legislator
wise as Solomon to draft a law to exact
ly serve his purpose no more and no
less. Fossil Journal.
Whatever the intention of the Looney
law may have been, the Fossil Journal
may be assured that the county court of
Wbbco county will never authorize the
collection of a tax of, practically, tour
per cent of the price of wool or wheat
Btored in The Dalles warehouses by peo
ple living outside the county. Tin:
Chkoniclk is fully authorized to say
this much. The Wasco county court
will never perpetrate the iojustice and
absurdity of compelling a resident of
Wheeler or Grant county to pay taxes to
eupport Wasco county, simply because
tho Wheeler or Grant county man hap
pens to have wool or wheat-temporarily
stored here. The Wasco county court
may be safely presumed to have some
sense of the justice and moral fitness of
things. Editor Ciihonici.i:.
