Mother Seeks Word of Son - A touching appeal of inquiry, regarding any new clue that might have been found in connection with the fate of W. J. One, has been received from his mother by a local business man. Since his mysterious disappearance i 'month ago, no trace of him has been found and his mother expresses the 'belief that he has met with foul play, j else he would have written her. He Was always faithful about writing, she says. She has asked that all his per sonal effects be sent to her. .Miss Steeves To Direct Dances Miss 'Amelia Steeves, talented aea thetic .dancer, has been appointed to direct two groups of' dancers for the historical pageant. They will be, known as the Rainbow and the Rain drop dances. Miss Steeves studied aesthetic dancing at the University of California, under Vestoff, who was a dancing partner of Pavlowa for a number of, years. She very successful ly directed a fairy dance for the local high school tvrof years ago, when "The Merchant of Venice" was staged'. Government Harnesses for Sale United States government army har nesses, made entirely of "back" leather, the best known to the har ness making trade, may now be ob tained in The Dalles for the small sum of ?45, according to E. R. Jack man, county agent. A- number of these harnesses have been secured from the government by Paul V. Maris, director of the state extensiou service of the Oregon Agricultural college, and are being distributed through the various county agent's offices throughout the state. A sam ple harness is on display at Jack man's office, where orders will be taken for as many as are desired. 1 No Queets at Jail Last night was "banner night" nt the local city jail. For the first time In months, not a single "sleeper" was given lodging in the municipal bastile. The usual run of suspicious characters picked up during a night ranges from flvs to 15, all men without sufficient means of purchasing lodging. The po lice work on the theory that such men are safer in jail than roaming the streets after dark, and accord ingly the order has gone out for officers to pick up all persons with out visible means of support. The usual procedure is to release the prisoners the next morning with or ders to get out of town. Not Horseless Ajje "Tallt about this being a horseless age; some of those statisticans had ought to make a visit to The Dalles city pound," lamented Chief of Police Prank Heater this morning, as he prepared an ad for The Chronicle in which he seeks to locate the owners of horses in the' pound and get them to claim their animals within the next 10 days. "The city has 11 appar ently ownerless horses in the city pound at the present time; some of them first-class animals," continued Heater. "These horses have been picked up while roaming at largo on the city streets. We will hold them for 10 days, and if they have not been called for by that time, they will be sold at public auction to pay the cost of feed." Pays for "Stepping on 'Er" Ninth street has long neen popular among local motorists as a place where the accelerator could be "stepped on" a little bit. This street is smooth and has few curves, and 20 miles an hour seems like ' "just crawlin," as one motorist expressed ic uui. strange as it may seem, the street i... anririnniv lost favor as a speed way during the last few weekB.'The reason for this fact is simple. Tom Crofton also likes to ride on Ninth street. Tom Crofton is the now city motorcycle policeman, and where he rides, trouble generally ensues for persons who like to burn the pave ment. Yesterday F. E. Jones of this city joined the rapidly growing list of persons -arrested for speeding on this 'street. He paid a fine of 5 in the police court this morning. Chorus Practice Held The chorus practice at' the Vogt school last night under L. S. Pllcher-was a suc cess. The different, parts were .car ried in a way to produce, a fine 'ef fect.
