| Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Borders of La
Grande are at present visiting friends in
the city.
DR.. A. N. Hamilton OF La Grande, a
member of the Oregon railroad commits
sion passed through the city yesterday.
A meeting of the Kings Daughters,
will be held at the residence of Mrs. S.
L. Brooks tomorrow afternoon at two
O'Clock.
The OchOco Review boasts that Prime
Vile has more haDeas corpus proceedings
than all the rest of the county seats put
together.
An adjourned meeting of the county
court convened this afternoon with
Judge c. N. Thornbury and DIR. J. H.
Leavens in attendance.
A. S. McAlister rejoined his family in
The Dalles last Saturday. The many
friends of Mr.. McAlister will be glad to
learn that he has come back to stay.
The flag of the Mckinley club Topped
so much in the wind since the primary
election last Saturday that it tore away
the fastening of one of the ropes and
had to be taken down for repairs.
Alex Mcleod, one of Kingsley's solid
men came into town this afternoon.
He reports seeding about half through
on the ridge and the ground in the best
condition he ever saw it at this season.
Mr.. Otto Kohler, of Bake Oven, was
in the city today. He says grain and
grass looks fine out that way, but they
have not had as much moisture as we of
this region. The late cold snap went
over without trace of frost.
The CHRONICLE regrets to learn that
Mr.. H. P. Ernst will leave The Dalles
for his former home in Michigan tomor-
row morning. Mr.. Ernst has made
many friends in the city during his resi-
dence here who will much regret his de-
parture.
Every Oregonian has feeling of state
pride in the pupils sent abroad from
Oregon to various institutions to receive
an education. The Dalles is thus inter
ested in several from whom parents re-
ceive favorable reports, including the
sons of mine host Sinnott, Of the Una
tiila House. A dispatch from Roger B.,
to his father last Saturday, conveyed the
gratifying intelligence that Nicholas J.
has been appointed valed1ctarian for
1892, at Notre Dame College, Indiana.
These successes not only reflect credit
upon the pupils themselves, but are

w. j. Roberts, G. E., of this city, has
just completed magnificent sectional
map of the Hood River valley for Hon.
E. L. Smith of Hood River The size of
the map is 4s by 81 inches. 1t is COM
piled from the official records and shows,
in appropriate water colors, the charac-.
ter of each piece of land, that is to saw
whether school land, state selection,
railroad land, timber entries, preemp-
tions, homesteads or what not. Each
claim has the name of the present
owner, 80 far as the records show.
marked on. The title of the map, in
large bold letters, is splendid piece of
penmanship and the whole is undoubt-
edly as accurate as the thorough educa-
tional competency of Mr.. Roberts could
make it. Mr.. Roberts took the map
down to Hood River this morning where
he goes to stake out a ditch for the Cen
tral Water Supply company of that
valley.
Senator Mitchell writes to the Hood
River Glacier making the charge that
the CHRONICLE and some other papers in
Wasco county were laboring under the
delusion that the Oregon delegation was
opposed to the state making appropria-
tions in the Columbia river because it
would act as hinderance to their OBJ
tanning appropriation for more perma-
nent improvements from the general
government. 1t is matter of little inn
portance any way one takes it, but the
CHRoNIcLE never had any notion of the
kind. We have always believed that
the little portage at the cascades was
one OF the most powerful arguments our
delegation could possibly use in their
efforts to obtain appropriations for per-
nanent improvements, and we believe
so still.
