A Social Time Enjoyed by Members and
Guests. '
V. There was a sound of merriment and
a substantial feast ja Fraternity s hall
laat evening.- Temple lodge No. 3 was
entertaining, and they entertained in
a fitting 'manner.' "The regular busi
ness of the lodge was hurried through,
so that by 8:30 the portal' was thrown
open and a number of uninitiated were
admitted within the lodge room, where
long tables were Indexed with substan
tial refreshmentsand some 150 Work
men, and men who ought to, were com
fortably seated. But before the inn-tr
man was refreshed, Messrs. E. K. Rus
sell, J. F. Mooreiand J., H. Cradle
baugh were Called upon to give thir
experience as Workmen and explain
the beneficial features of the crder.
After speech making had concluded,
those present gave a personal demon
stration of the right .to bear the title
of Workmen by exerting themselves
quite vigorously in an eating contest.
When the spread had been thoroughly
discussed and the after-lunch cig rs
smoked, the tables were cleared away
and card playing was the, order. Be
sides being a pleasant social event, 'it
was also a profitable one for the lodge,
as. five applications for membership
were taken duringthe evening.

at that time, which prevented anything
being cone for her relief for several
days, she could have been place i in

Captain Johnston remained with his

BELP THE CUBAN CAUSE.
1 .
To Those in Bympatliy With tbe Cuban
- Patriots.
The Times-Mountaineer has been
requested to take the lead in a
movement for a popular subscription
to the cause of Cuba and her suffering
people who aro fighting for liberty.
Whenever a people aro oppressed or
denied tbe right of self government,
Americans are quick to extend thiir
sympathy and go to their relief. Prob
ably nine out of every ten Americans
are in sympathy with the Uubans
struggling to free themselves from the
tyrany and oppression of Spain, and
tnis ahno-t universal sympathy should
have some exp-essioo. The populxr
subscription plan has been suggested,
as a .means to that end. Since
we cannot take no arms we can
materially assist those who do by con
tributing what Senor Quasada, tho re
presentatives of the Cubans at Wash
ngtoh, says is most needed, means
with which to supply the munitions of
war. Therefore the following form,
signed and accompanied by the sum
you feel disposed to give, will be a
testimonial of yojr syrrpithy for the
Cuban cause:
FOR THE RELIEF OF CUBAN PATRIOTS.
As a testimonial of my sympathy for
the Cuban cause, and a measure of my
hopes for the success of Cuban patriots in
eeing Cuba from oppressive and tyrann
ous rule. I cheerfully subscribe the sum fol
lowing my name and address.

Upon receipt of these subscriptions
they will be forwarded promptly to the
Cuban headquarters in New Nork or
tne Cuban legation in Washington as
the subscriber may select.
SOME SIGNIFICANT SUGGESTIONS.
Tbe County Judge of Cmnttlla County
lla an Idea About Taxea.
"County Judge Martin, of Umatilla
county, has submitted a letter to the
convention of county judges,' in which
be makes these suggestions with -reference
to the ' methods of collecting
taxes:
"Our present modes, of .assessing
property and collecting taxes all to
gether, all things, tends to complicate
rather than simplify ..matters and
mixes jurisdictions between county
courts and city governments and so hoc j
districts, and rests a responsibility on
the county court that I can see no good
reason fir, . whereas if the county
court, city and school district govern
ments were separate, as they formerly
were, One corporate body, could attend
to its own g?vernmental..aff:tirs better
than any one set of officers could attend
to three governments a- . the county
officers now have to do. The cities and
school districts "kick" because they
claim that tbey could assess and col
lect their taxes cleaner and faster than
it can now ba done. The tax-payer
"kicks'-' becaSise he must pay all of
these .taxes at one and the same time,
whereas, if this law- was repealed, or
amended, as it should be, they "could
p-,y me u.uereni, .Xe8 Bepara.y Buu
easier, because they would become de- I
Iioquent on different dates and at dif-
ferent seasons the year. I also favor
: . V "1 . J .
maaing peruunui pruperuy a lieu
against the realty oi tne taxpayer. i
'WJy idea for tbe collection of delin
quent taxes would be to make the" levy
from the assessment roll and advertise
as now, but not to have the" sheriff
travel all over the country and post
copies on .every piece of laud and town
lot on which the taxes ar delinquent.
This would be a' great saving of time
and expense and would greatly facil
tate collections." V '

.' . AFTER TEN' TEARS.' .
Or. K. J. O'Callaghan Pardoned. From the
' Idaho Penitentiary; '
The Idaho hoard of pardons last Mon
day pardoned Dr: E. J. -O'Callaghan,
on condition that he leave the state,
the pardon to take effect on ' Christmas
day.-' : ' ;
This was a' peculiar case,' says the
Boise Statesman. Tn 18S5, O'Callag
han killed John Breene, at Blackfoot,
and was convicted 'of murder, in the
first degree. v When the case came be
fore the supreme court that tribunal
found 'that tho verdict was not war
ranted, and, instead of remanding tbe
case, changed the finding to murder in
the second degree, and sentenced the
man to i nprisonment for life. He en
tered the penitentiary March 20, 18S6.
OVallaghan-was one of. tbe best
known physicians in tbe southeastern
ptrtoft ie state, and had a practice
extending into Montana and Utai. He
had a qutrrel with one William Craw
ford, and the 1 .tter threatened to kill
him. On the night of the killing be
was drinking with Breene. The latter
went out for Jiquor. - Though he passed
out through the front door, he came
back to the door in the rear. O'Cal
laghan heard him fumbling at the
back door, and' s imposed :that it was
Crawford come to kill him. Going to
a window, he shot the man dead. -
The Chinook Wind.
' B.".. Pague, dlrectoc.of. the state
weather bureau, In . his last monthly'
bulletin, defines what a Chinook wind
is as follows: "It is a name applied to
warm southerly winds, which almost
always follow cold- periods, especially
snowfalls, and is peculiar to Oregon.
Washingtonr Idaho, Montana and the
British possession on the north of
Montana. It is a warm wind, in a
comparative sense, and is produced by
an area of low barometric pressure, or
Storm area, passing eastward from the
Pacific ocean, in about latitude 50 de
grees north, and the air from, an area
of high barometric pressure central
about Salt Lake City, flowing north
ward into the storm' area. Tbe air is
cold when is leaves the starting place
but Cowing down from tbe higher ele-
vjtion it is heated dynamically, and
warmer air results therefrom; due to
tho difference in the barometric pret
sure the velocity of tho wind depends,
hence warm southerly winds of vary
ing velocity result, which are called
Chinook wiuds."

the defendant, by false representations
obtained the signature of Dr. D. B,
Cornell, on three" promissory notes for
$2000 each. Mr.. Taylor, it is claimed,
represented that he wa3 tho president
and general manager of the Interstate
Investment Company of Oregon, with-
headquarters at Portland. The case
had no sooner started than Taylor's
attorney moved for a. dismissal on the
ground that the statute under which
the charge was made had been re'
pealed. Judge Snow, after several
hours' deliberation, decided the point
was woll taken, and refused to hear
testimony. :'

Interest Is laiag. . .
The property owners of Tho Dalles
are not taking tbe interest that should
be shown in the matter of prospecting
for coal, everybody seems waiting for
someboJy else to tike hold of tbe mat
ter, or to suoscribe to . the fund for
purchasing a drill with which to con
tinue the work of prospecting This
is indeed to be regretted. Every prop
erty owner in The Dalles would be
benefited if coal were to be discovered,
and it is but right that all should coa-
tributa tQ a enterprI9e that tends to
add the vealtQ of all Iq 8U jh mat.

Frult Trees Not Damaged. '
It was fought by some that the se
vere cold last month had done consid
able damage to. young fruit trees in
different parts of the county, and that
all of this year's . growth -had been
killed by tho freeze,; but . this seems to
not be the case. E. Schanno, member
of the state board of horticulture, has
within the past few days made a per
sonal inspection of a number of or
chards in this vicinity, and finds the
j damage to have been very slight.
. Tender limbs on some cherry trees
show indicationsof having been frozen.
and a few gr.pe vines ' that were- no;
. . . . .
covtred with snow have been injured,
but the damage, he thinks, is very
slight, Mr. Schanno says young o .
cnurds generally appear to be in a
healthy condition, and. most cf them
made a good growth last season.

Deed to Land Forged.
Tbe boldest forgery case ever known
in this state has come to light in
Albany. In July last a stranger, giv
ing his name as Henry C. Briggs, tiled
with the recorder a deed from A. S.
Knox, of San Jose, Cal., conveying to
Briggs a fine farm of 318 acres in Linn
county. A few days thereafter Briggs
mortgaged the farm to the Alliance
Trust Company, borrowing $1200. Be
then left the city.- It now turns out
that tbe deed was bogus, the names of
Mr. and Mrs. Knox, of the witnesses
and of the notary being all forged.

t rsn across a case down south last
.sunnier that illustrates the simplest
anti cmuest way of producing alcohol.
t had been spending some weeks in
cantral Tennessee and had run down
the I Ii 11 Maverick gang of moonshiners
mil landed them all in jail six of
them. They were a very smart lot and
for safekeeping they were put in sep
arata ecus. Aliout two weeks after
the arrest, when I had to return to tes
tify in the case, I went into the jail.
ana liiesneritt saul to me: 'Henderson'

"'Like enough,' I told him: 'thev
anow now. just snns tuem m to new
ijuarters at dinner, and see what we
an find in their cells.'
N hile my prisoners were keot in
another part of the jail we examined
tneir cells thoroughly, but there waa

Ircsh clew. It was a well-manao-ed
jau. and I was reasonably sure that
the Jiquor was not smuggled in it waa
auost likely made on the premises. I
found by making inquiries that fne
prisoner who oftenest sb'.wcd the fef-

colored man, who had been tint Itv

and I had him locked ia his cell and
went into the storeroom. It was lust
as I expected. lie had a dozen fruit
jars lull of corn beer so stron? that
uwut two glasses or it would go to an
old drinker's head. It was very easily
made; he had only to make a mixture
of molasses. and water, start it fer
menting by adding a little yeast, and
men turow in a few handfuls of corn.
Any Pennsylvania farmer will tell you
how to make corn beer. Afte ferment.
