STRANGE AND ROMANTIC.
Family Brought Together on the Opening Up
of the Addition to oklahoma Territory.

CHANDLER, o. T., Oct. e0-Many queer
incidents have been recorded concerning
the events which marked the opening of
this new territory TO settlement, and espe-
cially about the grand rush for homes. but
probably none have such an element of
strangeness and romance as the reunion of
q family which has been separated for sew
enteen years. John Reed lived in Newport,
Il. l., In 1874 and had trouble in his homo
affairs. He and his wife agreed to sepa-
rate. and as they had two children they
each took one. They did not get q divorce
as their religious fcruples stood in the
way, but went their own ways. the wife
taking the boy, aged four while Reed took
the girl, aged seyen. They gradually
drifted apart and for the last ten years had
heard nothing of each other.
One night. just before the opening of this
town to settlement. young man came to
the camp fire of Reed, who was among
those waiting for the opening, and asked
for some tea for bis mother, who was i'll
from the excitemens of the rush. Reeds
daughter now young woman. not only
gave him the tea but went with him to see

took no deep interest in the matter. When
she got to her fathers camp she told him of
the woman with their name and spoke of
her curious questions. Reed at once be-
came deeply interested and early in the
morning went To the camp. His wife and
ho immediately recognized each other and
reconciliation at once took place, and the
two camps were merged into one. s-SAe new

4 CITY PARK.

1t is undoubtedly not time to talk of
The Dalles spending money for public
park but one cannot help suggesting that
the time may never come again when a
block could be more easily procured for
this purpose than it could at present.
One of the burned blocks, in a central
position, turned into city park and
properly improved would be thing of
beauty and joy forever. 1t would not
only add to the beauty of the town, as
nothing else could, but in case of another
devastating fire it would greatly conduee
to the city's safety. Is it possible that
public spirit or private benefcence
would at this time, be equal to the pro-
curement of block for city park?

its own will. An examination has since
been made OF the cistern at the corner of
Second and Madison. 1t was found to
be leaky and the one and half inch
lead pipe that supplied it with water
from the main was found so completely
filled with rust that no stream of water
much larger than lead pencil could
pass through it. The lead pipe has since
been taken out and a new and larger
one put in its place. The old one can
be seen by any one anxious to inquire
into the matter, though a liberal offer
was made for it by Portland plummer
who wanted to take it home as natural
curiosity. The disaster of Septem
Der I'd did not occur then because
of defective water supply but, if from
any avoidable cause, because of the
criminal negligence of the paid servant
of the city whose duty it was to inspect
the cisterns and keep them in repair.
1t is true the wind was blowing stiff
gale and the fire might haue spread in
spite of the best efforts of the fire de-
partment, but the bare possibility that
the fire might have been confined within
reasonable limits if the cistern at the
corner of Second and Madison had been
in order, makes it imperative that the
fire department, so far as the chief
engineer is concerned, must be recon-
structed.

THE WATER SUPPLY DURING
THE GREAT FIRE.

When true history of the great fire
that has laid our city in ruins shall have
been written one thing will be recorded
which at the present moment NAV take
many outside The Dalles by surprise.
and that is there was never a half hour
from the time the fire first started till it
was conquered when the water did not
flow out of the waste gate of the reser-
voir on the bluff. There was never
moment during all time when the
draught made upon the reservoir by the
fire engines seemed to have an effect
on the supply. The reservoir at the be-
ginning of the fire lacked eighteen inches
of being full. In twenty-five minutes
the water was running out at the waste
gate. After pumping from the mains
for twelve solid hours the supply had
not diminished an inch-the reservoir
was still overfiowing. This is a simple
statement of facts and the CHRoNICLE
defes any man on earth is contradict it.
We ask those papers that have so freely
rendered us aduice about our water sys-
tenn to make note of this. The reser-
yoir and mains were full of water all the
time Ten thousand pumps forcing
water into the same reservoir from the
Columbia or elsewhere could not have
filed the reservoir and mains fuller than
they were. This is our answer to those
who, while bewailing our misfortup..
suggest that if the council had adonted
the pumping system we sho ould have had
plenty OF water on' side critics might
well oelleve tna' five councilmen, whose

council is not yet complete. Till tina
time comes it is idle to blame it for in
ADEQUACY. 1t is worse than idle to sa,
that if the pumping system had beel
adopted the city would have been spare'
destruction Did we desire to recriml
nate we might truthfully say that at on
mans door alone lies the whole blame c
the fact that the water works were no
