Mayor Kelly bus brought before the school directors a pioponition to dis Dose of the old school building at '. Dalles. The (structure is said to be not "a thing of beauty and a joy for ever" and mars the appearance of the park site on which it is located. The ton) porn tu re at The Dalles last Thursday morning was only 3 degrees above zero. Cascade Lo:ge of Elks recently sent (Senator Uoarin an umbrella as a token of Ha esteem. Mr. Ueariu delivered an address at the Lodge of Borrow held In that city by the Klks a short time ago and this was the way It took of expressing Its appreciation. The football game between The Dalles luvincibloa and the second Multnomah team was postponed on account of the death of a relative of lienry Kartell, the star half back of The Dalles team. It Is the intention of the oily gov eminent of The Dalles to expend tj, HXI iu the improvement of streets there during the corning year. A spe cial three-mill tax has been levied for this purpose.

At a meeting of the oounoil held in The Dalles Thursday evening that body decided that the suloon keepers were not paying enough lioeuhe. As a result au ordinance was passed rais ing the licenses of saloons in the city from $'M) to IIOU. This ordinance is in accordance with the state law, which provides for a 1100 license. The amount, however, is discretion 1 ary Jn municipalities. Another ordinance refers to drug stores or other places where spirituous liquors are sold. This ordinance pro vides for a liconso of &100 being paid where liquors are disposed ot in less quantities than one gallon in bottles or packages only and not drank ou premiheR. An infringement of this ordinance makes the dispenser liable to a line of not less than '2f nor more than tM for the Hist olfenso and not . loss than 50 nor more than 100 for subsequent violations. Mrs, Mury Campbell who died at The Dalles laat Thursday, where she bad taught school for some time, did the very unusual act of wilting her own obituary, which In part is as fob lows: "I, Mary N. Campbell, nee Mary Auu Northrup, was born iu Til lamook county, Oiegou , J tine II, 1808, being the daughter of Harvey and Kuruu Northrup. (irundpureuts on t both sides and father wore emigrants of INiu. At the age of 1 years, in the year 1872, 1 moved with my parents to Uloucoe, Washington county, Oregon, where 1 received my early training in the Hhady Hrook country school. In the full of 1HH1 I attended school in ililltboro, Oregon, remaining there until June, 188b. Then 1 spent two years In the Portland public and high schools. In the tall of 1887 I began teaching in the public schools of Washington county, and wltliit he ex ception of one year spent at the Ore gon State Normal, 1 have tai ght al most ooutinuoiiHly in the public schools ot Oregon, considering this one of the greatest opportunities to do good and impress righteous'princlples lu the hearts or tha youth." Seediest.' Apple Not it Success. Apropos of several specimens of the seedless apple, which it says were submitted to it by the general mana ger of the Heedless Apple company, liural New Yorker publishes a state ment by Dr. Walter Van Float, part of which is as follows: A single seed was found In one speo liuou in an extra or advent it ions core near the blossom ud of the fruit. The others were eutireiy freo from seeds, though the usual woody car pels ot core divisions were not only present, but strongly developed. The apples are rather small lu si.e, round and smooth in form, dull red In color, with many li.,'ht dots. Itie calyx is very large and open, and the bastu is wide and deep, extending almost to the core. The ttcsh is white and ilrm, quality very ordinary, about on a par with LI in Lei Twig, and scarcely as good as lieu Davis. The claim made by the promoters that the tSpeuoer seedless apple contains 20 per cent more apple substance than other vari eties of the tame si.e is scarcely borne out iu the specimens examined', as the substaueo lost by the huge open calyx huMn would quite olfset any gain iu the t paces normally occu pied by seeds. A pome or applelike fruit is, botan ically, the diluted and softened flower stem oveigiowing the ovary or true fruit, made up of woody or bony carpels (core plates) and stds. lu tbo. bpeuoer ami other seedless apples the seeds alone are absent, but the objectionable core is present as usual. Unless the seedless variety should possess in addition unusual good quality or oiuer vaiuanie attributes it is not easy to see w hy it shoul I be particularly desirable except as a cu riosity. We are told the Spencer apple pio moters expect to develop seedless va rieties of commercial apples, such as Winvsap, Jonathan, lielilloner and (Jaub. This can only be done by the usual nreetling method of cross pel leuization and careful selectiou of succeeding generuti ins. While it is within the nintje ot possibility t h it seedless varieties rc.-emhling to some extent our present successful com mercial apples may iu tune bo secur ed, such result in most uncertain and likely to icqniie indefinite time. I P Tbe Kieffei pear is as likely to drive Hartlett. Bono. Clapp and tbe other g0.id ones out of business as this seed less a i) i ile is to dispose of Baldwin Northern Spy and other standard sorts. " Illustrates Point Aim nl Hates, The Trenton, N. J., American gives the following as au Illustration: "An ignorant .co ttractor in Albany not long ago failed to shore up one pillar that as a part of the support of tbe building. This Millar gave way, and the whole building came down. If the Interstate Commerce Commission should chanuo the first class rate be tween New York and Chicago it would affect fully 10,000 other rates, becauee the New York-Chicago rate is a base rate for practically all tbe territory eust of Chioago,and for more than hrlf of tbe territory west thereof. Inter mediate places take a percentage of the Chicago rate, so that a single change, say from 75 cents per bund red to 70 conts per hundred, would necessitate iuuumeiable other changes. "When tbe ariuments ou rate legis lation are divorced from politics, and the situation looked at calmly and honestly from a strictly business standpoint, it is quite difilcult to no oucile tbe statements of some ot tbe members of Congress who are in fa vor of rate regulation with tbei; acta. A representative is quoted as stating that it is not tbe intention of tbe administration to have a rate bill which will enable the Interstate Com merce Commission to make all rates, but that they will only change a rate that is challenged. "Perhaps this is their intention, but Wiat they did In the tincti-Iowu- send bill was to give to the Inter state Commerce Commission not only full acd absolute control of every rate, but of every method now In foroe ou the railroads that bad refer ence to the transportation of fre ght and passengers. It is dillleolt to see how a law could be drawn that would give authority only over certain rates." PRINEVILLE WILL- NOT BE SCAPEGOAT A meeting of the Crmmercial club us held at Prineville recently, at which it was determined to take de cisive action toward enlisting tbe sup port ot the Commercial clubs of all sections in tho state In a united elfort to correct the mis-statements printed in tlieOregonian regardiug unlawful ness prevailing iu that region, occa sioned by its published reports in tbe urain case. Kesolutions were adopted ftatiug tnat tue runout investigation ebowed thut tbe articles printed are utterly devoid of any foundation and have caused a false impression of tbe dis trict iu the minds of the people, re sulting In a dir ct injury to the com munity and region. Delegates were appointed to take the matter up with the Portland Commercial club and se cure its aid in presenting a true re port to the people. W. A. lialdlaw. general manager of the Columbia Hnuthern Irrigation company, and w. lllalue and 1'. W. Wilson have made a thorouuh investi gation of the Craln case. For a week they have examined witnesses and re- ort that they are satisfied of the un truthfulness of the story minted. They Interviewed persons in a posi tion to know facts in tbe cane and find that the attacks are au injustice to tne county, giving a false Impres sion which injures the district, and therefore binders settlement. Jour nal. COULD NOT FOOL HOOD RIVER MAN A gentleman who was recently at Fargo, N. D., and who is a resident of this city, tella a good story about Hood Kiver apples. Wbile sauntering around a hotel in that place one afternoon he got into conversation with a gentleman who was stopping at the same hotel, and among other things they got to talk ing about apples. Of course when this topic was reached tho Hood Kiver man was at home. He told abftut tho glorious fruit raised lu tbo valley, tbe Hue color, the enormous size and the fine quality. Aud incidentally wound up by stating the prices obtained for them. His companion listened Interestedly to all this, and when be had conclud ed, remarked that there must be some mistake. That be bad been down tbe street that morning and bad steu Hood Kiver apples displayed iu front of a grocery store for f'J a box. This tbe Hood Kiver resident would not be lieve, of course, and told his newly made acquaintance that this brand of apples suld for more thau that on tbe trees. They finally compromised the mat ter by agreeing to go to the grocery store aud examine the applet. On arriving at their destination the pro prietor of the store was called and was asked to exhibit tho fruit. Cioing over to a box of apples be said, "Here they are, gentlemen." Tbo apples were an assortment of big, little, gnarly aud iudilfereut looking fruit. After looking them over the Hoed Kiver mau sai I : "These are not Hood Kiver apples. " "Ob, yes, they are, " replied the grooerynian," "Lot's see 'i.M box or barrel they came In," said his Inquisitor The box rrthooiniiig, and cn one end of it was marked "Yakima." His attention being called to tbe iiurk, the groceryman SBld: "Well, ain't they Western apples?" "Yes," said the Hood River man, "but Western apples are not necessar ily Hood Kiver apples."

PROFITABLE SEASON FOR THE SPENCER It is said that Captain Spencer has found steamboating so profitable dur ing the past season that be is thinking of placing a steamer In operatio ou tbe upper river above the portage. He will do so, he says, if he is given sufficient encouragement by tne snip f.era. The bponcer has bad a veiy Kiccessful te ir.oo and the Journal bas this to say abort it: "After tbe most l.uty and profitable season, tbe Charles K.
