Baby buggies have been used for
almost every conceivable purpose, but
one C. C. Cunningham, of Milton, re
cently put one to a new use. He con
verted It into a saloon on wheels. De
siring to supply a dancing party with
spirits, he loaded a baby buggy with
- whisky bottles and wheeled it to the
dance, where be sold it indiscrimi

are about thirty charges loged against
' him for selling liquor, without license
and supplying it to minors.
Paderewski played on a piano re

His first piece Opus 35 of Beethoven,
captured the audience. "As he fin
ished the allegro there was a slight
and uncertain round of applause, which
became hearty at the termination of

The memory of Abraham Lincoln
was honored last night by an elaborate
banquet at the Portland Hotel, under
the auspices of the Mul torpor club.
It is proposed by the club to -hereafter
observe Lincoln's anniversary each
year by appropriate exercises.
The experience social given by the
ladies of the Christian church last
evening was indeed a pleasant affair.
The experience related by the ladies
of how they obtain money furnished
an unusual amount of amusement for
the SDectatore. The receipts of the
entertainment were about $25.
The scale of nrices for the El Paso
fierhts are as follows: Fitzaimmons vs
Maher, box seats, $40; reserved seats.
$21: ffdneral admission. $10; for the
other contests the prices will be $20,
$15 and $10. As the fight will pro
bably not come off the schedule is not
very material.
When contemplating what you will
do for amusement next week, don't
oWerlook the fact that the Red Men
will give a grand ball on the evening
of Feb. 22. The braves of this qrder
are among the most patriotic citizens
of America, and propose that the an
niversary of the father of his country
shall be appropriately celebrated.
The will of the late Samuel
P. Sturgis, late cashier of . the
First . Nitional bank, at Pendleton,
was filed for probate yesterday.' Mrs
Sturgis inherits the entire estate,
amounting to over $100,000, except
that two relatives receive $1000 each:
the three minor children $10 each, and
the publicx library, founded by the
Commercial Association of Pendleton,
is given $5000. Mrs. Sturgis is made
executrix, with full power to sell all or
any part of the real property.
A finer day than this could not have
been chosen for making the trial trip
of the Regulator. When the boat
glided out from her dock this morning
on the placid bosom of the Columbia
she shone in the mellow sunlight like
a big white swan. The machinery
since being repaired appeared to be
working admirably, and. everything
pertends a successful season for the
boat line. The Regulator will go to
Collins landing today and take on a
load of lumber, and is expected to re
turn about 6 o'clock.
This is the season for planting to
bacco, and farmers desiring to experi
ment in tobacco culture will be sup
plied with seed free of charge by ap
plying to Ulrica & Son at The Dalles
Cigar factory. Messrs. Ulrich & Son
last season demonstrated that a fine
quality of tobacco could be grown in
this vicinity, and it might prove a
profitable crop for the farmers of
Wasco county to cultivate. At all
events it will cost them nothing to
make the experiment, since the seed
will be furnished free. "
Senders Brothers, of the Portland
university, will entertain the citizens
of The Dalles at the M. E. church on
Friday and Saturday evenings with
their most interesting " Wonderland,"
a lecture on Yellowstone Park, and
Malasia, the land of perpetual summer,
and illustrated songs, together with an
exhibition , of the curios frora . Prof.
Bruce s private museum.1 The pro
ceeds of the entertainments will be
given to the Junior League, with
which to purchase literature, etc., for
the league. Admission 25c, children
dent; Max Vogt, Jr., secretary: J. C.
Hertz, treasurer; Geo. Gibons, fore
man; Hugh Chrisman, first assistant;
Ernest Jensen, second assistant.
Mr. X. Whealdon returned this
morning from a visit to Portland. He
says that while Portland shows some
iyn;pioms of imorovement in tho way
oferectine1 new buildings, it is not
ahead of TheDalles in this respect.
Rev. E.B. Sutton, organizer of the A
P. A., who was to have-lectured in this
city last night, met with a railroad ac
cident, and was unable to fill his ap
pointment here, but will make a date
for a lecture in this city some time in
the future.
School Clerk Jacobsen has been en
gaged the past two weeks enumerating
the persons of school age in the district,
and thus far has enumerated a few
more than 600. He. expects the
enumeration this year to be consider
ably larger than that of 1895.
The trial trip of the Regulator was
made without an accident, tho ma
chinery working perfectly. She went
as far as Collin's Landing, where she
took on 10,000 feet of lumber for F. H.
Rowe, which will be used in the con
struction of the re4dence which he is
building in this city.
Among the old established fraternal
ordei-3 in this city, none are enjoying
a steadier or more substantial growth
than Temple Lodge, No. 3, A. O. U.
W. Last night this lodge conferred
the first degree upon two candidates
and the second upon three. The bene
fits which the Workmen order extends
to its members are such that they com
mend themselves to business men
everywhere.
It would Feem that the recent grand
jury was rather hasty in condemnirg
the city council for the"deplorablecon
dition of the roads leading into the
city." If we are correctly informed
the council has exerted every effor
in its power to better the condition of
the roads, and besides it is rather
questionable if the grand grand jury
has jurisdiction over the acts of the
council in such matters.
Dr. Farnham and wife, who were
passengers on the Kegulator on her
trial trip yesterday, were much pleased
with the scenery on the Columbia, and
consider it the finest they have ever
seen. They visited the hot springs at
Collin's Landing, and partook of the
water, the dostor says, without any
stick" in it, but Capt. Waud fur
nished the "stick" when he bumped
up against a pile in making a landing.
Dr. Farnham speaks in high praise of
the hospitable treatment extended to
himself and wife by the officers of the
D. P. & A. N. Co. .
One of the most .effective apparatus
for subduing fires is the chemical en
gine. In cities where they have been
used it is estimated that over 50 per
cent'of the fires are put out with them
and that much less propetty is dam
aged than where water is used. For
some time past the city council have
been considering the advisability of
adding a chemical engine to the fire
apparatus of the city, and it is stated
that if one is put in insurance rates
will be greatly reduced, thus effecting
a great saving to the insured. Mr. A.
G. Long, of Portland, is in the city to
day conferring with the oity author
ities, and will submit a proposition to
them for supplying a chemical engine.
S1TCATIOX AT THE LOCKS.
Whether They Will Be Operated This
Season Yet Uncertain.
vt eaof s lay .Messrs. a. s. MacAllister
and E. Schanno, as representatives of'
Ihe Dalles Commercial Club, met
I Capt. J. H. D. Gray, a representative
of the Astoria Board of Trade, and
Hon. Jas. Crawford, representing the
Vancouver Commercial Club, at tho
Cascades, their mission being to,
possiDie, ascertain me exact date on
which the locks would be opened, and
if, when opened, they would be oper
ated permanently. Messrs. MacAllis
ter and Schanno have returned, and
report in substance that the canal and
locks can and will be opened for trial
within sixty days; but whether they
will be operated permanently depends
on circumstances.
Day Bros.' contract will be com
pleted in a very short time, and a boat
will be passed through the canal as an
experiment. If everything works sat
isfactory the canal will be permanently
opened for traffic. But the operation
of the canal and locks depends upon
the stability cf tho north wall of the
canal between the first and second
gates, that is composed of a decomposed
rock, which, it is feared, when sub
jected to the force of the water, will
crumble down and interfere with work
ing the lower valves. Should this
result, the locks will have to be
ciosea until that wall can be pro
tected by concrete or solid masonry.
The question of whether the canal and
locks will be operated from the date of
opening depends wholly upon the
stability of this wall which is 128 feet
in length. If it stands, the Columbia
river is open to navigation from The
Dalles to Astoria: if not, then the locks
will be closed and so remain until the
wall is strengthened.
Lieutenant Taylor, the government
engineer in charge, estimates that tho
wall can be made secure with a con
crete covering within 'six weeks, and
by an expenditure of $6,000; but tho
appropriation has all been exhausted,
and there is no government funds
available with which to prosecute the
work. However Capt. Gray assured
Messrs. MacAllister and Schanno
that if it became necessary to expend
this amount of money to insure the
operation of the locks this season, As
toria would guarantee to raise two
thirds of the sum provided The Dalles
would guarantee the other one-third.
As to this proposition there can be no
question as to the final result. The
enterprising oitizens of The Dalles
will readily subscribe the requisite
L$2,0O0, if it becomes necessary in order
to give them the benefits of an open
river to the sea.
After Day Bros.' contract iscom-
pleted, the government engineers esti
mate that an appropriation of $413,000
will be required to so complete the
works to protect them from damage (
by high water, and they have recom
mended the appropriation to that
amount. This appropriation is con-
some

It was a foregone conclusion that the
leap year ball Tuesday would be a
success, but it was even a greater suc
cess than the most sanguine had hoped
for. There were some sixty couples in
attendance, and every gentleman who
was fortunate enough to have been
favored with an invitation la ready to
give evidence of the ladies' ability to
conduct a dancing party, and also to
make themselves very agreeable to
their guests. The music was furnished
by ihe Orchestra Un'on, and the floor
management was in charge of a com
mittee of ladies who were adepts, and
who kept the dance going merrily
on, never allowing interest to wade.
The ladies also served an elegant
lunch in the front rooms of the Bald
win which was by no means the least
attractive feature of the evening.
To Kill Ground Squirrels.
The following offered by an exchange
has been proven to be the best for the
extermination of gophers and ground
squirrels: Take a five-gallon can and
put a stick of phosphorous with a little
water in the bottom of it. Pour in
hot not boiling water, just hot
enough to melt the phosphorous grad
ually. Add two pounds of sugar and
stir. Then add corn meal and flour in
equal quantities to make a thick batter.
Then stir in whole wheat until the
batter is quite stiff. Pour in at the
same time fifteen or twenty drops of
rhodium. The wheat will absorb all
the water and the mass will become
hard. For use chip off small pieces
off the size of a hickory nut andjplace
in the run.

F. A. Seufert,
Webfooters and Alfalfa.
Mr. J. C. Wingfield, who recently
returned from a visit to Clackamas
county, tells a good one on somo of the
Webfoot farmers. Last year some of
them secured a limited amount of alfal
fa seed from this side of the mountain,
and having heard of its wonderful
growth, expected to sea it assume such
immense proportions that it would
overshadow-everything else on their
farms if it were given a chance, so
they sowed the seed in places where
they thought they could regulate
the growth if it become danger
ous. One planted his seed in his door
yard, and last summer it began to dis
play such an adaptability to the soil
and climate that he became uneasy
lest it should choka all other vegeta
tion on the farm, and undertook to
check the growth by cutting off the
prouts: it would not die, and having
been planted at the foot of a ftvorite
shade tree, he is perplexed as to how
he will get rid of the stuff without
killing' the tree. Another planted his
in a more favored locality, and when
began to show signs of rooting
everything else out ne gruooed it up
and threw it into the river. It would
have been unfortunate indeed if alfalfa
had taken all of these gentlemen's
farms, and produced from three to five
tons an acre on the land on which they
are raising 40-ccnt wheat ani 15-cent
oats.
Wants an Open River.
The boat railway if it is -put into
practice at Celilo will be infinitely
better than a portage road and at least
a half a century quicker than a canal,
From the time it has taken to com
plete a half-mile of canal at the Cas
cades, the child has not been born that
would seo the completion of a canal of
sufficient length to make navigation
possible at Celilo. With a portage it
would be necessary to break bulk
twice in shipments between the upper
river aud tide water. The boat rail
way will pick the boats out of the
water, cargo and all and set them back
in tho water on the other side of the
obstructions. This of course would
save all the expense of unloading and
would greatly facilitate transportation
Either a boat railway, portage or canal
will mceo with substantial opposition,
so there would be no difference in that
direction. What the people would
like to see now is the Washington del
egation unite with Oregon and procure
a sufficient appropriation to begin a
work which when completed will re
lieve the Inland Empire from exces
sive transportation rates. Arlington

At 2 P. M-, Saturday, rebruary li
there win be a massmeeting held in
the town of Hood Kiver lor the pur
pose of discussing what effects the
leasing of Hood river to the Hood
River Lumber Co. will have upon the
lumber interests of that valley. All
phases of questions will be considered,
and if it is determined to be detrimen
tal to the interests of that section steps
will be taken to get the lease revoked.
Tho matter is one in which the resi
dunts of Hood River valley, especially
the owners of timber land, take deep
interest. . They extend an invitation
to the people of The Dalles to attend
their meeting, bo that they can deter
mine whether or not the leasing of the
river is just. We would suggest that
it would be wall for a delegation from
this city to attend the meeting, since
we have an indirect interest at least in
seeing that none of the taxable prop
erty of the county is rendered value
less, as the owners of timber land on
Hood river claim their property . will
be in case the lease is allowed to stand.

take from two to three years.
After having carefully examined
every detail in connection with the
work at the Cascades, Messrs. MacAl
lister and Shanno feel guaranteed in
stating that the locks will be opened
within two months at farthest,, but
their permanent operation this season
will depend, as above stated, upon the
stability of 123 feet of wall on the north
bank. If this proves insufficient to
stand the force of the water, it will
have to be strengthened by private
subscription, since there can be no
hope of congress making en appro

Some Alarming Figures.
The report of Superintendent of
Public Instruction Bean, of Washing
ton, on the financial condition of the
school districts of the state show a de
plorable state of affairs,
It shows that on a total valuation of
school property of $5,008,937, has been
plastered a bonded debt of 82,723,032
and a warant debt of $1,279,338, making
a total of $4,0 )7,370. Last year the sum
of $209,873 was paid in interest on this'
huge debt. The average rate of inter
est paid was "i per cent. For a state
less than seven years old this is cer
tainly a bad showing.

REPORT OF GRAXD JURY.
la ibe Circuit Court of the State of Ore
gon, for Wasco County.
We the grand jury, duly empan-
neled for the February term, 1893, res
pectfully show to the court:
That we have been in session three
days, and have inquired into all crimes
committed in this county, so far as
they have been brought to our notice,
and as a result of our labors have re
turned into court four indictments,
We have visited the various county
officials, and have been courteously re
ceived by all and have been shown
every facility for examiation of the
books and accounts of the county offi
cers. We have also visited and inquired
into the condition and management of
the county jail, and find it neat, and as
securely kept as its construction will
admit. We examined the sheriff's of
fice and find the books correctly kept,
its officer well qualified, courteous and
obliging; inspected the county clerk's
office and find i it neat and clean, all
books well cared for and records cor
rectly and well kept, and an honor
to our county; inspected' the county
treasurer's office, and find the books
properly and correctly kept, and com
mend him as an obliging and efficient
officer.
We endorse the action of the county
court in carefully examining into all
claims against the county, and in their
conservatiVbness in allowing the same,
and we especially recommend the ac
tion of said court in the matter of pub
lic roads, in making a levy of oqo EiUl
tax on all taxable property in the
county for road purposes, and recom
mend that this system be continued
until all the roads in the county are
ip a first class condition.' We endorse
the action of said oourt in making
the necessary improvements and re
pairs in the sheriff's and clerk's offices.
We also endorse the Eon. A. A.
Jayne, district attorney, for his im
partial and business-like manner in
the discharge of his duties, and com
mend him as an honest and efficient
Officer.
We strongly reepmmend that the
county court purchase a new type
writer for use in the county clerk's of-
Tbe Cascade Foreit Reserve.
- Hermann has introduced a bill in
the house to allow mineral entries un
cfer the mineral land laws upon the
Cascade forest reserve. What is
needed is that this . whole reserve be
reduced to something like a reasonable
size and that much of the good lands
therein b9 thrown open to settlement.
Oregon needs more people and it is
ruinous policy to tie up an area larger
than several of. the Eastern states to
please the mountain climbers or to fill
the pockets of timber speculators. . A
forest reserve about some of our lofty
mountains, craters,. and the big cayes
in Southern Oregon would be a good
thing, but the present reserve is a ser
ious drawback to. the settlement and
development of this state, and the peo
ple cannot urge this too strongly upon
our representatives at the national
capital Albany Herald. .

Last Monday Thomas Denton and
A Sandoz engaged in a fistic' encounter
in the county court room" while
heatedly discussing a proposition be
fore the court, and were each fined 910
by Judge Blakeley for contempt of
court. Mr. Sandoz promptly paid his
fine and Mr. Denton was allowed to go
on his own recognizance until Thursday
afternoon, when Sheriff Driver took
him in charge and informed him that
he must either pay his fine or igo to
jail. Mr. Denton chose the latter, and
was duly placed behind the bars. Mr.
Denton stated to a TlME3-MoUN-Taineer
reporter tbat he was abund
antly able to pay his fine, but con
sidered it an injustice and proposed to
serve it out in jail. Further, than
this he would make no statement in
reference to his imprisonment. '
A Clever Capture.
Thursday morning Sheriff Driver cap
tured Ed Shear and J. .P. Bradley at
the Cascade Locks before they got out
of their beds. They were indicted by
the grand jury just before' that body
adjourned, charged with havingrobbed
Mat Nyquist in his room at the Co
lumbia Hotel last Saturday night. It
is claimed that Nyquist went to his
room in an intoxicated condition,
and that Shear and. Bradley relieved
him of his money while he was asleep.
Sheriff Driver arrived on the noon
train with the culprits and they
were arraigned in circuit court in the
afternoon, aud entered a plea of not
guilty.
Weighing Livestock.
The weighing of livestock by the
railroads seems to be growing in popu
larity, aooording to the report of the
roads and the Western Weighing As
sociation, for but few corflp'ints are
now heard from e shippers. This
rule is tb charging by the railroads of
live stock by the 100 pound, in-
steed of by the carload. When it first
went into effect, on the first of this
year, there were numerous complaints,
shippers believing tbat it was another
move to increase the freight.
