OKGIMZKD IN A fll'RRT
Tbe Dalle Legislature Made Quick Work
of Business.
Had the 60 members-elect of the
Oregon legislature been present at the
Vogt onera house and witnessed the
alacrity with which business was trans
acted by the members of the mock ses
sion, they might have 'gained some
yaluablo points, and could have learned
how a house can be organized in lees
time than 40 days. The 30 members
who took part in the organization were
not sticklers on parliamentary usages,
and did not allow rules to interfere
with business. They, were there for
fun, and technicalities were no hinder
ance.
The committee on credentials was
indeed liberal in its actions, aid when
the rollcall was announced it was dis-
covered that neither place of residence
nor sex was a bar to membership. Tom
Reed, -W. J. Bryan, Tillman, Mills,
Butterworth, Coxey, Voorhees, Jerry
Simpson, Mrs. Lease and Mrs. Dunnl
way were seated without opposition
Mrs. Leese called the assembly to
order, and Bryan was elected tempor
ary speaker over Joe Simon, and in
the permanent organization Tom Reed
was elected speaker after a hot contest
with Sockless Jerry, while H. R. Kin
caid was made chief clerk, defeating
Mrs. Leese.
An hour was devoted to effecting
permanent organization, and when
our Mr. Reed ascended to the speaker's
station, and delivered his address to
the galleries, acknowledging the high
honors that had been thrust upon him
it was discovered that no mistake had
been made in tbe selection of a presid
ing officer, for there was no appeal
from his czar-like rulings. Notwith'
standinrh,!ifc more, tbajj Jialf the mem-
fcSrs absented tbemselve" fom-J&e.
hall, he counted a iuorum present, and
annou"""1 tae house was duly organi
sed and ready for business.
Then the fun began. All manner of
bills were introduced and passed, and
during the two hours that ensued more
business was transacted than has been
done by the Oregon lawmakers iu 40
days. The session throughout was one
of fun and merriment, and while it was
probably somewhat tiresome to the
audience, it afforded an evening's
amusement to those taking part.

.- . -Sit."
The advance agent of the so-called
Commercia' Club minstrels is in the
city and has tried to put up a job on
the press by declaring that he has a
grand aggregation of f pecials that he
will put on the boards in the Vogt
opera house on the evening of March
8th. He represents that he is repre
senting The Dalles Minstrels and Van

Now this advance agent might have
made his fake stick with a spring
chicKen, but when it comes to running
such a josh on an old rooster of a quill
shover, it's no go. He would make
the credulous listener believe that his
company played foven weeks to
packed houses in the large city of
Celilo, when everybody knows
that after tbe eighth cigLt at
that place, the show was a failure. And
when he tries to run in John Hamp
shire, Frank French, Harry Lonsdale
and Will Crossen as special attractions,
he is entirely off. Everybody knows
that John Hampshire is herding sheep
for Joe Shearer out on the Deschutes,
Frank French is running a steamboat
on Long Tom river; Harry Lonsdale
has been appointed lish commissioner
of Alaska, and Will Crossen, well he is
studying theology in Constantinople,
while Prof. Love, is still in Port
land training Joe Simon for the sena
torial race "nit."
But the smooth-tongued advance
citizen.- He has bad all the glory ne
craves as a member of a body whose
! sole purpose is to pile up a mountain
of nothingness, and desires no more

A PLEASING PERFORMANCE.
Local Talent Entertain a Good Sized
Audience,
The first appearance of "An Evening
With Dickens" was well received by a
Dalles audience, and considering the
short time in which tfcose taking part
hae had for rehearsal, they did ex
ceedingly well. "'The OM Curiosity
Shoo" and "Bleak House" were the
books under consideration, and the
many characters brought out by the
yercitile Dickens in those novels were
well represented. While all parts
were exceptionally well taken, the
"Jarley Wax Works,' presented by
Mrs. C. F. Stephens as the "Wider
Jarley" and assisted by Fred Waud as
"John," furnished the greatest amount
of amusement, though 'Moving On'
from "Bleak House." was splendidly
presented. The program -rendered
was as follows:

By the above it will be seen that the
average number belonging in the pub
lic schools of The Dalles has increased
from 391 in '92 to 652 in '96, which in
dicates that more school buildings
are an absolute necessity. The only
question for the voters of tbe district
to determine is the method to pursue
for raising funds with which to erect
the new buildings whether they shall
put a debt upon themselves that shall
run for a peried of years and be paid
in annual installments, or whether
they shall levy a tax sufficient to meet
this additional outlay in one year

father is very low, scarcely expected
to live. Mr. Cazine is 76 years of age,
and an Oregen pioneer of 1S43.
Atthe play last evening the audience
dispersed before the last tableau, which
was probably owing to an error in tbe
printed programs and also to the aud
ience not fully understanding the rules
governing the curtains. That there
may not be a repetition of this
occurrence, we have been requested to
state that the main Columbian curtain
will rise immediately before the play
begins, and will not be lowered until
the play ends. Whenever the Colum
bian curtain is lowered the audience
may feel assured that the performance
for the evening is over.

TVOMEJf AND SUFFRAGE.
Straws Show Which Way the Wlud
Blows.
Editor Times-Mountaineer:
People say women would not vote if
allowed, but there are evidences that
they would: The intense interest
manifested by women of all parties
during the last presidential election;
the continually increasing number of
women in the professions, also in in
dustrial pursuits; the church work and
wise charities; the number of women's
clubs; the federation of such clubs in
to national leagues, congresses of
women, are the straws which show
which way the wind is blowing in this
direction.
Acultiited French woman made a
study of the club women in Boston
and Chicago, and failed to find any
lack of womanliness, but found them
possessed of the same tact and charms
which have been woman's sincn the
woman gave of the fruit (forbidden) U
man, and he ate of it. D.

it will be well for the traveler going
east to remember that ho will be very

a wise choice of routes from there to

Our Young Orators.
The' oratorical ability of eight
young people of Tbe Dalles was well
displayed at the debate which took
place at -the Congregational church
last evening, and indeed they dis
played tact and study that would haye
done - credit to much older heads.
The subject under discussion was,
"Resolved. That as a Military Leader
Washington Was Superior to Napol
eon." Those for the affirmative were
Walter Reavis, Violet Kent, Ann
Mann and Charles Campbell; for the
negative Ed. Baldwin, Lizzie Bonn,
Clyde Riddell and Martha Schooling.
So ably did the young debators
handle the subject that it was difficult
for the judges to decide which had the
better of the discussion, though it was
finally decided in favor of the negative,
the points being 23 to 22.

he is home to stay unless the governor
shall convene tbe legislature in ex

holds that the 19th biennial session of
Oregon legislature is now adjourned.
He stands ready at all"" times to take
his seat as a senator whenever tbe

Good Jfrult Prospects.
Yesterday Emile Schanno, member
of the state board of horticulture in
spected a number of orchards in the
vicinity of Grants and Rufup, and
found them in excellent growing con
dition. The trees are all healthy, and
do not show an; -'rrn nf Af'T
jured by cold weather. Especially are
the peach trees in fine condition, and
promise to yield an abundant crop I
this season. Orchardists in that sec
tion have exercised considerable care
over their trees, and have about killed
the San Jose scale, that has been the
most serious pest with which they have
to contend. Mr. Schanno says unless
something unforseen occurs, 'he or
chards about Grants and Kufus will
yield a large crop the coming season
From Quartzvilie.
, James McSorlie is in the city from
the quartzvilie mines, where he has
had employment for the past year. He
says that the Lawler company is doing
a large amount of development work,
and is getting matters in shape for
spring when a large force of men
will be put on. There are now about
twenty men employed by the company
and tbe mill is kept running night and
day. Mr. Church, a civil engineer
from Salt Lake City, is in charge of
the mine duringMr. Lawler's absence.

Cincinnati, Feb. 25 At 9 a. m. the
Ohio river reached 59 feet, 6 inches,
having risen an incn an hour since 1 a.
m. A dispatch from Portsmouth O.,
says that at 8. a. m., the river .was at a
stand, at 59 feet. 8 in bes. River men
look for a fall to begin here by night
at a stage not exceeding 60 feet, 6 inches.
So far no fatilities are reported, but
hundreds of families along the river
banks had to desert their homes.
Few people in the west, ana scarcely
any in the east, have any idea of the
unique manner in which the Xavajo
Indians have from time immemorial
eaurjht antelopes, writes a correspond
ent at Helen. X. M. Thousands of the
beatitifnl creatures still abound upon
the vast tablelands of this territory.
In the country just smith of the Nava
jo reservation, and between it and tho
Atlantic & Pacifle railroad, one fre
quently comes upon long, straight
rows of the trunks of trees and the
branches of cedar and pine, stretching
for miles across these treeless plains
In many places, says the Chicago Jour
nal, they are nearly rotted away, and
only the larger limbs and trunks now
mark these lines. These are the ruins
of ancient antelope corrals or p.-ns.
The large bands of antelopes have long
since been destroyed in this part of the
country, and only small herds of fx-on.
five to ten can be seen. These are
mostly hunted down upon the Amer
ican or white man's plan. However.
directly south of Winslow, about fifty
miles distant, lanre bands of these
graceful creatures still roam, and there
is in existence there a new corral that
is in running order at the present time.
It is here that the old men of tiie tribe,
who believe in the ancient manner of
catching game, enjoy their annual
hunt.
This corral was built in 1890 by the
oriier of the old chief, Oano Mumchu
and his son. Many Horses. A place
was selected where a slight hill was
found upon the border of a wide prai
rie. Not even a sajjebush could be
seen, and trees for the corral had to be
brought 'from the cedar-covered hills
nearly ten miles away. They were cut
and dragged to the place by the men
and boys on horseback. A close pen, cir
cular in form, about one hundred feet
across, was first built against the steep
side of the hill, so that the tops of the
posts used could not be seen from the
opposite side. Two lines of trees were
then dragged and laid loosely upon the
ground, but close enough to appear
like a brush fence. These lines at the
pen are about twenty yards apart and
run almost parallel for one hundred
yards or so and then spread apart at an
angle of about thirty degrees and ex
tend across the plains for four and a
half or five miles.
When the party reaches the corral
for the annual hunt the chief first se
lects the . officers, four to watch each
point of the compass around the pen.
For each a pit is dug deep enough to
put him out of sight. The less space
required tne more tne occupant is e:
teemed and considered worthy of pro
motion later on. The chief and his as
sistant then take their places at the
right side of the entrance to the pen,
standing in a hole dug for the pur
pose, and just deep enough to hide all
except their heads.' From five to eight
Indians on the fleetest horses are set
out at daybreak to surround a band of
antelopes and head them toward the
corral. An antelope when startled
keeps as far as possible away from any
place where an enemy might be hiding,
hence they keep as far away from the
Aings of the corral, which are on either
side of them, as they can. After being
closed in upon they cannot turn back.
as the drivers are in hot pursuit, and
they make a dash for tbe top of the
hill, which to them appears to be the
only opening between tbe horrid lines
of brush fence. But, alas for them,
they find themselves inclosed in a stout
pen, around which they run in a circle,
never trying to j nmp over. The shouts
and yells of the Indians at length so
completely terrify the poor animals
that they stand trembling and appar
ently unconscious of the Indians, who
now approach and kill them with clubs,
hatchets, stones or anything at hand.
As many as two hundred and fifty have
been caught at one time in this man
ner, and for wholesale destruction of
7fame it surpasses any murdering proc
ess in vogue, and should be stopped entirely.
