.
. 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. About 40 people were present
and 25 remained tor the song, lead
ers' instruction'. The next practice

o'clock, at the Vogt school. "The
