Between court and the railroad boys
ball the Umatilla last night was filled re-
minding one of old times.
Senate bill 156, being the new charter,
can be seen at this office. 1t is too long
to print or we would give it space.
Look out for the new advertisement in
to-morrow's paper OF John Booths Blue
Point Oysters and other lu-;uries.
The extra last night from Portland
did not arrive until o'clock. 1t stop
ped at the Umatilla House and was met
by the brass band.
Messrs Frank Seely the genial conduc-
tor, P. Glenn former road master here,
and Neff the foreman of the bridge car
penters are attending court as witnesses
. in the railroad suits.
DIR. Candiani of the Cascade lock is in
the city, being sub-journed as a witness
in the case against the Union Pacific.
The DIR. attended the wounded in the
Cascade wreck last winter.
Mr.. W. r. Barrett, now of Lebanon,
is in the city visiting his brother-in law
w. c. Allaway. Mr.. Barrett says The
Dalles is the incest place to live in he
has seen in Oregon and the best climate
he ever saw, and we say SO too
The west bound passenger yesterday
came in with all the steps torn off the
standboard side of the cars. This was
caused by big boulder rolling down be-
side the track, and the company is for
tunate in getting off SO lightly as it
might have caused serious wreck.
= We have been favored with copy of
the Biennial Report of Oregon Weather
Bureau, through the kindness of the
central office. The report is one full of
interesting details of the climatology
adj agricultural productions of Oregon.
There is no better emigration publica-
tion issued than this and our state should
put it into general circulation throughout
the east.
Work on the reservoir which has been
stopped for some time, ON account of the
ground being frozen so that it was unfit
to go into the bank, was commenced
again this morning. The reservoir will
be completed by the middle of April and
if the water bill and new charter passes,
the supply pipes will be in place by that
time.
Mr.. & Mrs. j. c. Brickell, formerly of
The Dalles, but now of Victoria, B. c.,
are in this city ON short visit. Mr..
Brickell hasithought some of disposing of
his property here, but seeing a strong
indication that The Dalles is just on the
eve of going ahead rapidly i'll a business
way, has concluded to retain his interest
here, and may return and help things
along towards the good tines that are
coming.
The first of the suits against the rail-
road company was called this morning.
1t was that of John Carlson, admins
traitor of the estate of August Carlson,
deceased. All the morning was spent
in getting a jury which was accomplished
at noon, with the following members
w. f. End, J. Donaldson, Amos Root,
T. G.. Hayden, f. w. Trout, Alex. An
derson, E. M. Hartman, f. G. Sexton,
C. w. Rice, W. T. Mcclure, Chas.
Ehrck and w. H. Wolf.
hold was summarily bounced from the
ball room last night for conduct unbe-
coming gentleman. Arriving on the
street he pulled pistol and cooked it,
and should have been killed on the spot.
Any man who will carry pistol in a
civilized community is dirty coward,
and, if, added to this, he pulls it in a
crowd, killing is too good for him. The
railroad boys owe it to themselves to
bounce him from the road.
Now that the portage railroad bill
seems in fair way to become law our
delegation at Salem should give the water
and charter bills some earnest attention
We have long since outgrown our present
charter and between the city charter and
the present water bill affairs are decid-
edly complicated. 1t is now shown that
the money in the fund will not be suffi-
cient to complete the work and the pass
age of the water bill and new charter is
an absolute necessity if the works are to
he fin bed.
while the people of two centuries ago
won about a scAre of products from the
under earth, we make use of handreds
derived from the pit and mine. Each
year sees this relation of men to the
rocks beneath their feet become closer
