Editor Chronicle- Until recently
your paper made a practice of . pub
lishing the bills allowed by the county
court at each sitting, but of lute I,
with other taxpayers in the county,
have been unable to find the list in
your columns. Why this omission,
when the law provides for their pub
lication? The people of ; The Dalles have a
right to know what bills are contract
ed, aud 1, for one, but not the only
one, think they should be published
again.
If there has been an change in the
law, perhaps the county court will tell
us about it. Otherwise, the people
should insist on their publication.
Taxpayer.
The Chronicle has not published
the list simply because the county
court makes no provision for their
publication. So tar as we know, there
h is been no change in the law.

ODD FELLOWS WILL
ERECT $10,000 BLOCK
Excavation was commenced last
FridMy for the erection of a three
story brick block on the corner now
occupied by the Paris Fair. P. M.
Hull Lewis is the architect of the new
building which will be 50x100 feet
and cost $10,000. It is being built by
the Odd Fellows.
It will be of the slow burning, semi
fire proof construction with s leoted
common red brick front. The belt
courses, corbels and lint 1 courses
will be laid in red mortar. The exca
vation will extend under the side
walks which will have steel supports
with concrete arches and will be of
the latest approved type iu use in
New York, Baltimore and other East
ern cities.
The first two floors will be built to
conform to the needs of W. O. Ash &
Co. for the Paris Fair, giving then
room for greatly increased sto e Bpace
iu their rapidly growing br.kintes
The third floor will be devoted tt
lodge rooms and ante rooms for the
Odd Fellows aud other organizations
that now meet in their present rooms
lt is the intention to have the first
two" floors ready for occupancy by
Muy 1st, and an effort will be made
to have this portion of the building
completed as near that date as pos
sible. While the building is in oourse
of construction the business of the
Paris i'u'r will be conducted in the
brick part of the store which is now
in use. xlie now store will be nttea
ud who what is latest in nxiures ior
dry goods stores, and everything made
to conform to the needs of its pat
rons.
A Protracted Meeting.
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Cunning, Mr.
and Mrs. F. E. Newby and Mr. and
Mrs. C. E. Markha gave two valen
tine w hist parties on the 15th and 16tb
lust, at "High.and Home, " the resi
dence of Mr. and Mrs. 1. J. Cunning.
The rooms were nicely decorated
witb Oregon grape, pendant hearts
and a pair of swinging Cupids. Each
gentleman presented the receiving
hostess with au original vaientine In
comic or sentimental rhyme which
was drawn by a lady who became the
gentleman's whist partner at a desig
nated table. Appropriate to the occa
sion ouly hearts were trump, aud af
ter each deal the winners moved in
different directions to other tables in
regular order, the losers remaining at
the same table, but taking the victor
for partners, thus making an entire
change at each hand. The excitement
of the game was lost in the pleasure ol
meeting and remeeting as partners
or opponents, aud toe ntniott good
feeling prevailed.
A substantial lunch was served
about 11 p. m., in which heart shaped
sandwiches were conspicuous. Each
guest was served apple salad iu a cup
made out of a Bpitzenberg apple,
which seemed to me a menial u-e of
oue of Hood River's best products,
but then my taste is perhaps pieman,
rather than putrioiau. Coffee, cake
aud nine apple sherlet completed the
menu,-after which tne ladies read tne
valentines they had received with the
name of the authors, and nf course
thi raised the merriment to over
flowing. E. L. Smith almost blushed
himself hands me when bis ardent
lines were read. His valentine was
peculiarly appropriate "l'armer
Smith" being in the center of a gor
geously colored and embossed repre
sentation Gf garden products, sucn as
pumpaius, cabbage, carrots, eto.,wlto
one ot bis latest pictures, as it ap
peared in the Oregon ian in abbreviat
ed clothes, saying,
"Ob, who will be my Valentine
Dear Mrs. M, or N, or C?
1 really cannot, dare not choose.
Oh, happy thought I'll take the
three."
But he looked very dignified when
Mrs. Smith read that Mr. Kinnard
wanted her for his "Tootsie.Wootsie."
The reading of the valentines was
attended with hilarious laughter, and
developed the fact that Hood River
has about forty unnamed poets, and
the poets laureate will have to look to
their laurels or Hood mver win win
another prize.
The prizes on the first evening were
won by Mis. Mattie juarknam ano
Mrs. Brock, aud the next night by
Miss Clara Hlvtbe and Vtm. Nichols,
and cousisled ot a choice bouquet of
flowers and a nauiature world. Jt is
hoped the pleasures of the evening
will outlast the fragrance of the flow
ers, or the memory of earth. xxx
Death of Tilinon II. Smith.
Tihcon H. Smith died Monday at
his home near Tucker's Bridge from
an illness affliction from which he
had been a sufferer for nine years.
Mr. Smith is survived by his widow
and two sou , V. Hugh Smith and
Frank O. Smith, and by a brother,
Milton Smith, of Hood River, and a
brother and two sisters who reside in
Nebraska. In another month be would
have been 62 years of age.
The funeral arrangements were in
the hands of 4. E. Bartmess and ser
vices took place at the home of the
deceased Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock, being conducted by the Rev.
W. A. Elkins, of the Valley Christian
church.
The Interment was at Oak Grove
cemetery.
TACOMA BOOMING AS
WELL AS SEATTLE
Tacoma, Wash., Feb. IS. Dear Gla
cier: Leaving Hood River on Satur
day's No 1., I Bud myself this Sunday
evening a long way from Udell. 1 am
here for a day or so to "watch laoo
mn grow." In May, 1S89, ihen Taco
ma was booming and when people
were riding on tun of the street cars
for want of space inside iu order to
get home to dinner, I bought some
property. Several years afterward 1
visited the city of destiny again to
look op the property 1 bad purchased
In lsifi), and then found people walk
ing home. These were during the
pa n icy days of the nineties. Today I
return again and find real e tate ac
tive. The fact is I came here to see
for myself what means the recent mes
sages received, each containing offers
ou these lots. There is evidently
something here, as well as at Seattle.
In railroad circles two or three lail-
roads are fighting for entrances from
the south and exits from the east Into
Tacoma, aud recently muoh property
has cbauged bands at fabulous prloes,
and the end is not yet.

New Engine for Mount Hood ltnail.
A small logging engine was received
by the Mount Hood Railroad company
last week for use ou its road. The

Luke and Ogdeu Railroad. It is light
and can be used to greater advantage
than toe heavy engines which the new
road has bad in use. Until the track
is ballasted the use of these heavy en
gines will be discontinued.
