known in that locality. There was no
instrument there to measure the ve

town of Antelope, and the damage to
farm property in the surrounding coun
try was considerable: Barns were un
roofed and a large amount of fenoiog
was damaged. Fortunately no lives
wure lost and no one "was injured. The
wind came from the southwest and
fairly sent everything loose moving.

: THE FOBTUMI MERCHANTS.
They Were Entertained by Dalles Dealer-
for Two Honrs.
The special train carrying the Port
land wholesale merchants who had
been touring the upper country ar
rived here at 4 o'clock Monday after
noon, and a stop of two hours was made
in order that they should have an op
portunity to cultivate a more Intimate
acauaintance with Dalles people. The
weather was decidedly unfavorable for
getting around, rain and snow having
poured down during the entire after
noon, but toe tne foruanaers are not
unaccustomed to "falling" weather,
hence they made the best of the situa
tion and apparently enjoyed tneuv
selves. "
The train was met at the depot by
Judge Blakeley and Messrs. Pease and
Ireland, and was escorted down First
street to in front of the Commercial
Club rooms, where it was stopped, and
the visitors alighted and proceeded to
the club's home in a dreadful shower,
but the wcathei outside made the com
fort of the club parlors that much more
acceptable, so that the Portlanders
were made to realize that while the
elements were angry, The Dalles ex
tended to them a hearty and most cor
dial greeting.
After accepting the courtesies of the
club for an hour, the visitors sought
shelter under umbrellas and started
out for a tour of the city, v'siting their
numerous customers and friends at
their respective places of business, and
forming acquaintances that will grow
into lasting friendship. After an hour
spent visiting different parts of the
city, the visitors again boarded their
train for Portland, all expressing them
selves highly pleased with their visit

As an aid to the medical profession and
for the benefit of the afflicted a hospi
tal should be established in every town
of any considerable size. The Dalles
certainly offers an excellent location
for such an establishment. It has the
advantage of a healthful climate, has
as skilled physicians as any city in the
state, and is easy of access. A hospi
tal here would be a great convenience
to all who are afflicted with disease,
and would also be the cause of retain
ing a large amount of money in the
city chat goes to Portland each year
for hospital charges. Dalies physi
cians and druggists are most directly
interested in the establishment of a
hospital, and it would be woll for them
to take the matter in hand.
ELEVATED ASSESSMENTS.
Supreme Conrt Declares the Increase Ren
dered Was Void.
The supreme court of Oregon has re
versed the circuit court of Multnomah
county in the test cause of the Dayton
Hardware Company and numerous
other holders of iare property inter
ests of this city against the state board
of equalization and Multnomah county,
in the elevated assessments of business
property.
Attorney-General Idleman says a re
hearing will be asked for.
The plaintiff was assessed on mer
chandise and stock in trade in Multno
mah county, and the taluation was
raised 25 per cent by the state board.
and, having considered the same kind
of personal property under a .different
classification, in Marion county, it is
held the board exceeded its powers,
and the increase is void.
The suit was instituted to review the
action of the state board of oqualizia-
tion and to correct certain errors al
Ieged to have been committed by it,
to the injury of the plaintiff, in ' equal
izing the assessment throughout the
state for the year 1896.
Concerning the objection to the
classification made by the county as
sessor, the opinion says:
"There are but two classes of real
property for assessment, under the
laws of the state." ' j '
The board's method of equalizing
these two classes, the supreme court
holds, was valid; but, in the course
pursued in equalizing personal prop
erty, cause is found for reversing the
lower court.
The tabulated statement shows- that
the Marion county roll classified per
sonal property under three heads, viz,
"railroad rolling stosk," "livestock,"
and "personal property, except : rail
road rolling stock and livestock,"
while other counties made 12 to 13
classifications of the same classes of
property, none corresponding with
Marion county's classification, except
one denominated' "railroad rolling
stock." Upon these classifications as
bases, the board attempted to equalize.
For instance, "horses and mules,"
"cattle," "swine," "sheep and goats,"
all coming under one classification in
the summary of the Marion county
roll, the valuation of none of the: four
could be reduced or raised without a'
feeling all. Thus, 20 per cent was de
ducted from the valuation of horses
and mules, 20 per cent added to cattle,
20 per cent deducted on sheep and
goats in Benton county, but this could
not be done in Marion county. Of
this method, the court, in its ruling,
says:
"It is very evident the state board
could not, by adopting dissimilar class
ifications, -or such as are not uniform
throughout all counties, as "a basis f6r
their deduction, produce that uniform
ity and equality in values contemplated
by the constitution."
TWO PLEASANT EVENINGS.
Till CATHOLIC FAIK.
Large Attendance and an Enjoyable Even

Vogt opera house was filled to over

the fair given by the ladies of St.

tastefully decorated, and the booths
had to be seen for one to appreciate
their real beauty. They reached from
the door to the stage on the right

church are certainly to be congratu
lated upon the success of the opening
of their fair, and the general satisfac
tion expressed by the public in com
mendation of the entertainment given.
We Need a Hospital.
As the science of medicine progresses
and becomes more perfectly under
stood, it becomes more evident that
success in the treatment of complicated
cases can be better attained in hospi
tals, where trained nurses are employ
ed, than in private homes. Physicians
now when they .have complicated cases
to attend and difficult surgical opera
tions to perform prefer their patients
be placed in hospitals, where they may
have the attention of nurses skilled in
their profession. But distance from
hospitals and the danger of conveying
The Colombia Candy Factory.
Walter Norman has bought the
Columbia Candy Factory which has
always been one of the most' popular
confectioneries in the city. Mr. Nor
man has ordered a complete supply of
goods needed in conducting the busi
ness and purposes making it one of
the most attractive places in The
Dalles, being prepared to meet the
demands of all," and no pains will be
spared to cater to tho wishes'- of the
public. In conducting the business
Mr. Norman will be assisted by .Harry
Keily, and both being popular young
gentlemen will certainly draw a large
patronage. Basides carrying a com
plete line of confectoneries Mr.' Nor
man will be prepared to serve oysters
in all styles, and will every day receive
fresh consignments of those bivalves

The Catholic Fair Has Entertained Large
Crowds Each. Eveninj.
No public entertainment has ever
been given in Dalles that has afforded
more general pleasure than the Cath
olic fair that is in progress at the Vogt
opera house. Large crowds have been
in attendance each evening, and the
merry laughter that was hoard on
every side indicated that all were en
joying themselves.
Each of the several booths were lib
erally patronized, and it was indeed
a pleasure to make purchases of the
fair managers who presided over them
Booth No. I., managed by -Mrs. Fish
and Mrs. Seufert, assisted by Mesdames
Bradshaw, Hertz and Brown, is next
to the front entrance and is an attrac
tive stand, while the fish pond, con
ducted by Anna Haslans, immediately
at the right of the front door, fur
nishes considerable amuse nent for the
little folks. Booth No. 2 managed by
Mrs. Herbring and Mrs. Nolan, as
sisted by Misses Lizzie Gates and
Frances Fouts, who are in charge of
the lottery, and Miss. Lizzie Farmer in
charge of the fancy articles and acting
cashier, is very attractive. They
are assisted by Mrs. Bunch, Mrs. Long
and Miss Griner.
Next the flower booth, presided
over by Miss Glenn and Miss Jackson,
is an inviting place, made so by the
beautiful flowers offered for sale, a'so
by the next neighbor, Mayor Nolan,
who with a blackboard next to him,
receives votes for the most popular
young lady in the city.
The paper booth in charge of Misses
Alma Schanno and Lizzie Laner, and
the candy booth conducted by Misses
Rosemary Baldwin and Grace Lauer
occupy the position at the right of the
stage, and attract a large crowd oi ad
mirers and patrons. On the north
side of the building "Aunt Sally"
looms up serenely in charge of Carl
Gotfried and furnishes a vast amount
of sport. Mrs. Sandrock has charge of
the refreshment booth, and Miss
Minnie Sandrock receives yotes for
the most popular railroad man, while
Mrs. Blakeley watches the handsome
silk flag to be presented to the most
popular lodge and records the yotes on
the same as they are deposited.
The awarding of prizes that were
disposed of at raffle affords considerable
amusement, and is conducted by H.
Herbring assisted by some little girl
or boy, who being blindfolded draws
the lucky number from ' the box.
The prizes awarded Wednesday night
were as follows: Dinner set; awarded
to Joe Heroux; sofa pillow, Mrs. Hil-
gen; nandkercniet case Mrs. tsrenan;
embroidered handkerchief case, - Mrs.
Gehres, of California; German picture

Thursday night there were eleven
b.adnsome prizes awarded by raffle as
follows: Twin dolls and bed, awarded
to Father Verhaag, of Baker City; toy

Opinion of a Well-Known Swiss Writer A
Mixture of Truth and Fiction.'
A well-known Swiss writer, who vis
ited the world's fair and was then
forced to remain here for some time on
account of illness, has joined the long
list of foreigners for whom "America'
has been a favorite subject for "disser
tation." In a recent issue of the Neue
Zuricher Zeitung, one of the most fa
mous Swiss journals, under the head
line, "What is America?" he wrote:
"America is a land compared with
which Europe is only a peninsula;
the United States forms a country com
pared with which the European king
doms are pygmies. America is the land
of unmeasured distances and dimen
sions; the land of dollars and electric
ity; the land1 where ' the prairies are
more extensive, the rivers mightier,
the waterfalls . deeper, the bridges
longer, the .lightning expresses faster,
the catastrophes more terrible than in
any other country in the world. It is
the land where in a single raih oad acci
dent and one occurs every few days
more people lose their lives than in
Enrope in a whole year. It is the land
where the houses are higher, the 'jail
birds' more numerous, the rich richer,
the poor poorer, the millions greater,
the thieves more daring, the murder
ers more shameless, the educated few
er, the teeth more generally false, the
corsets narrower, the diseases more
deadly, corruption more general,
. , the , summers warmer, the
winters colder, - the . fires hotter,
the ice thicker, time more precious, the
men more nervous, than in any coun
try in our pastoral Europe. , It is. tha
land where the old men are younger
and the young men older, the negroes
blacker, the whites more yellow, than
in any other place. It is the land of
immeasurable natural wealth. In
short, it is the land of extraordinary
contrasts, of strange extremes, of non
sensical pride, of reckless money-hunting,
of senseless craze for gain the
land of the colossal and the pyramidal
of course, in the opinion of Ameri
cans. How many have gone from onr
peaceful home to the land of false hopes
to seek riches, fortune and better life,
and have been lost either in the gut
ters of the great cities or the sands of
the prairies! How many have been
glad, when poor and ' deserted - and
broken in heart and soul, to. sail baek
to their native landf"
