Education was the general subject Of the
meeting of the Womans National Council at
Albaugh's last evening. The program of exer-
cises was an attractive one and included the
reading of a number Of papers by prominent
women from all parts of the country who are
interested in the cause Of education.
The attendance was the largest that any Of
the meetings have yet called forth and good
many local teachers were present to find out
what other people think on the subject in
which they have all more or less of share.
The exercises were opened with a waltz over
ture by an orchestra under Prof. Bernay's lead
ership.

mr. CLEMENTS EXPLANATION.


Mr. Clements gave q financial statement In
regard to the revenues and the appropriations
Of the District The bill, he explained. as it
vent to the Senate, provided for appropriations
which would exceed the revenues by 800 600
he Senate had added a large number of items
still further increasing the deficit. The SEN
ate. however, had provided the remedies Of
eredIting back to the District the amount paid
Ter the water main and for the Geological Park
AID IN another proposition proposed TO meet
the maturing District bonds by an appropria-
tlon TO be repaid from the sinking fund. Mr.
Clements continued that the only hope in
slSnt wss by means Of q new assessment OF
real estate. He thought something tangi-
Die could be agreed upon by the
eo;ite-ees In this respect, as all were agreed
on. the need Of a change Either" said Mr..
Elements, the outside taxpayers must pay or
the rates Of District taxation must be raised or
the appropriations must be cut down" Mr..
Elements dld not see any serious objection to
ereditinS back to the District the amount paid
Tor water main and charging the sum TO the
water rates. He thought that the Geological
iark, however, should be partly paid for by
the District a. a Geological Park or else merged
into the National Park. The motion to disa-
gree and ask a further conference was then
agreed to.

TIE NEW WATER MAIN.

The contention in regard to the payment in
twenty-five annual installments of the Dis
trict's half of the cost of the forty-eight-inch
main from the water fund was touched on
next Dir. McComas explained that the Senate
conferees argued that as the half of the tunnel
was paid In installments the main which took
the place of the tunnel should be paid for in a
like manner. and also that il would add only
about go. 900 year to the water fund expenses
which could easily be met from the first Mr.
McComas said that the arguments of the Senate
undoubtedly had great force.

Notice of Explanation.

There appeared notice in yesterdays
Itmes-Mountaineer from our worthy
competitors, The Dalles Ice Co. We
wish to state that a part pertaining to
The Columbia Ice Co. is untrue and
without foundation. We sold them
about as much ice last season as they
sold us. The amount bought or sold by
either party was not enough to make
mention OF and which was only done for
convenience to both parties. We do not
wish to make any talk of this but simply
state facts. AS we have been engaged
in the business three years we wish to
inform the public that we are not or
never did depend on any one-horse con-
Germ for ice, and furthermore that we
never allowed our ice houses to stand
idle, which no other ice company now
existing in this city can say. Our
notices which appear in the daily papers
are not intended for slur on any ice
company and will say we think thev
have no reason to take offence at them
unless the shoe fits, if SO let them wear
it. Respectfully, COLUMBIA Ice Co,
w. s. CRAM, Manager.
