OLD TIM rs,

These who remember the writer of

mers pIowel every month. Then
came cold backward spring with a
snow storm in May. But if this i a
year without winter, another old IN
habitant remembers the year 1916 as
a year without summer. Frost, ice
and snow it is said We're common in
June. Even July and August turned
up few samples Of ice about as thick
as window & ass. Fruit was destroyed
and corn so frozen, that it had to be
cut down and dried for fodder. Not
until December, did the weather be-
come mild and comfortable. When
YOU talk TO the old folks about this

fact that great majority Of these complain

We are sorry to say it, but the fact is they
AL point to the Dalles Office as the place

We do not ike to accuse any one, particularly

this thing of having our papers miscarry con-
tinually is beginning to touch our pocket.

Last Sunday evening the house of W. F.

burg, was entered by some unknown person
or persons, and robbed of fine black suit of
clothes, three white thirts and Colts white
handle derringer. The next day S. Grisham
missed 81 so and couple of pairs of boots
from his home on Ben Holt's place. These
foot pads are getting too bo d and daring to
suit the convenience Of the public, and a
little wholesome choking at ropes end
when caught, might help to clear the country
of these INDECENT thieves, and relieve people
of the strict watch necessary to preserve
their property from spoilation. Standard

been arrested for the latter robbery, and was
to have been tried this week before Justice

WORDS OF ADvICE.
Elitor Dsmoeyaf.

Editor Denocrat;
Permit me through your columns to call
the attention of our City Council and the tax
payers of this city to the manner in which
the cross-walks IN this city have been man
aged The expense of said erosswalks and
the filling mp has been paid out of the general
fund; and this year they viii cost nearly
81, 600. This Is all wrong, and should at
once be remedied, and the correct principle
applied, which is that the property adjacent
to said eross-walks be at the expense of con-
structing and filing up the squares. Or, in
other words. one quarter OF each block ad-
joining the squares bear the expense of said
squares. This is in keeping with our charter,
and the City Council has the same power to
do this that they have to compel the property
holders TO make sidewalks and gravel before
their property. No payment for cross walks
and filing in out of the general fund is legal,
and in the future it will be the duty of the
tax payers to contest this point, provided the
Council does not legislate according to the
charter TAXPAYER.
