Made Il Sale of Land.

Ezra Rice, o banker Of Luvern e,
Mimi. has made several trips to this
city recently looking at farming prop
erty in the vicinity Of Blendon town
ship under the guidance of VIM. M:
Smith and has just completed deal
with Mr. Smith whereby he purchases
the A. B. Kelsey farm in Blendon
township. Mr.. Rice is quite an enthu-
siast on the irrigation question and
bought this quarter with the view of
practically demonstrating what can be
done in the way of irrigation. Mr..
Rice will not live on the farm himself
but will put good tenant on it to carry
out the ideas of the owner. The farm
purchased is in every way fitted for
irrigating and as soon as the we'll is
finished which Mr.. Rice will have put
down the land will be flooded for next
springs crop.

SNOW BAZAAR CLOSES.
Some Handsome Presents Given Away

Some Handsome Presents Given Away
on the Last Night.
The Snow Bazaar closed Friday night
with the distribution of the prizes,
some of which were very handsome.
A big crowd of people was in attend
auce to witness the closing scenes with
the fond hope that each of them would
carry homo prize, but nearly all
were doomed to disappointment for
there were not enough prizes for all.
w. j. Healey carried away the china
dishes, Eugene Foley's little girl Sc
cured the piano lamp and stand, Mr..
Devy led home the COW, Miss Presba
got the oat meal set, Mrs Kane was
awarded the ton of coal, Father Maher
rolled home the barrel of flour and
Father Flynn of Madison now owns the
large picture of Father Maher. After
the prizes were awarded great many
articles were sold ct auction which
brought good prices and considerable
amusement to the crowd. Dancing
was INDUCED in for several hours which
finally wound up the successful Snow
Bazaar. In conversation with one Of
the leaders Saturday she stated the
Catholic church had cleared at least
$500 from the enterprise. Considering
the hard times the ladies did remark

Will Have to Pay for Bicycles.

Notices have been posted in the Mil
waukee depot to notify the public that
after Dec. l excess baggage rates will
be charged on all bicycles, tricycles
and baby carriages. None of these
articles will hereafter be carried as
regular baggage. and the minimum
rate to be charged will be % cents. If
your ticket amounts to small sum the
bicycle rate will be 25 cents, limit for
this being s.. A bicycle carried as
far as Chicago will cost 80 cents and
person paying $40 for ticket will
have to cough up 81. 10 to carry his BIZ
cycle or BABY carriage along. Just at
present few wheels are transported and
the full force of the new ruling will not
be felt but when the cycling season
opens next spring howl will go up
from wheelmen that will be heard from
one coast to the other. 1t does seem q
little unnecessary for railroads to
charge for bicycles or baby cabs out
west but the railroaes companies do
not look this way. The Milwaukee was
about the last of the western roads to
make these charges, the Omaha having
adopted the rates some time ago.

weeks ago and represented himself to
be the son of well-to-do farmer near
that town by the name Of Meter and on
the strength of the assertion secured q

the manager of the store, did not dis
cover how basely he had been deceived
until he presented a bill for the coat.
Mark commenced at once to hunt up
his man and finally located him at

How to Secure Thoroughness in
Discip pline" was ably discussed by Miss
Rena Smith. Discipline and through
ness depend upon the correct and syste-
matte order of affairs. That there is more
difficulty in securing good order than
in the work of teaching is the exper-
ience of all new teachers and many old
ones. Secure discipline from sense of
right and propriety rather than that
from whim or demand. Obtain the
confidence and good will of your pupils
and, as rule, little trouble will be eX-
perienced with discipline. Cheerful
ness, charity and patriotism are essen
tials in the makeup of the successful
teacher and if we lack these it becomes
our duty to acquire and possess them.

Monday evening when Auditor Stearns
called the roll The minutes of the
last regular meeting were read and ap-
proved. The first thing to engage the
attention OF the council was the open
ing OF bids for edgings and oak plank.
The bid of the j. M. Levake Lumber
Co. was the lowest on edgings and on
motion of Alderman Bracy, seconded
by Alderman Levinger, the contract
was awarded to the above mentioned
firm. For furnishing the city with
oak plank for croeswalks the bid of
Davis & Daniels was the lowest and
on motion of Alderman Bracy, seconded
| by Alderman Pollard, that firm was
awarded the contract.
| Two ordinances were put on their
final reading for passage. The first
had reference to fixing The compensa-
tion OF the city attorney at 5000 per
wear, except in cases specially provided
for by the council, and the second was
to prevent heavy wagons, exceeding
1000 pounds IN weight, gong over
wooden crossings. On motion OF
Alderman Levinger, seconded by Al,
derman Pollard the council adopted
the two ordinances. Police Judge Alb

which time parents and children alike
participated in this part OF the

The Caucus.

The Oregonian this morning, after
giving an account of the regular repub-
lican caucus and Senator Dolph's speech
thereat, finishes its report of the caucus
as follows:
CATER the senator's speech, it was de-
cided that committee of three be ap-
pointed to confer and recommend plan
of action, and Senator Gesner, Repre-
sentative Smith of Josephine and
Speaker Moores were appointed. They
retired for some minutes, and after con-
ferring together, and afterward with
Senator Dolph, returned to the meeting.
Their report was to the effect that SEN
ator Dolph could be elected tomorrow if
his support would remain intact. After
a general discussion on the subject, in
Guiding some long-winded speeches, a
ballot was taken as to whether Dolph
should be voted for again tomorrow.
Upon this there were thirteen votes
against such action and seventeen votes
in favor. Then, the hour being late,
and only thirty members being present,
and the house members being tired with
the long night session, the meeting adj
journed till 8 80 tomorrow morning."

The situation at salem.

)The election of senator is the ques-
zion that today is absorbing the atten-
ton of the entire state. 1t was asserted
last night that Dolph would be elected
today, but after eight ballots the only
result was loss of two votes by him.
At the end of the eighth ballot the joint
session adjourned until Z 80 this even
ing. In the the first seven ballots the
vote stood: Dolph 38, Williams %,
Hare 10, Galloway 7, Fulton 8, Lord 1,
Waldo 1, absent 2. The eighth ballot
WAS as follows: Dolph Sc, Williams %,
Hare 10, Galloway 2, Waldo 1, Fulton 8,
Cogswell 1, Chamberlain 8, Lowell 1,
Lord 2. Smith of Clackamas, went from
Dolph to Lord, and Gowan from Dolph
to Lowell.
The joint session meets at 80, and as
the legislative session closes at midnight
there remains but hours and 80 min
utes in which to elect senator. What
the result will be is entirely guess work
but the indications are that the dead
lock will continue to the end of the
session

BRIEF MENTION.
Leaves From the Notebook OF Chronicle
Reporters.

The warm weather has started the
grass, and the hills are beginning to
show the rich green tints of spring.
Remember the grand concert at the
Eight Mile school house, on the evening
of March the I'd. A special invitation to
all.
School Clerk E. Jacobsen has about
completed the census of the school
children, and finds the number will be
between 1000 and 100.
The funeral of the late L. Newman
will take place from the family residence
to morrow, Sunday, afternoon at 2
O'Clock. Friends of the family are in
vited to attend.
A school district was organized yester-
day at Endersby from portions of % and
%, and one Thursday at Viento. A petit
tion to unite districts 81 and 33 was con-
sidered today, and the prayer of the petit
tion was refused.
We took peep into the Vogt build
ing, opposite the Columbia Packing
Co.'s shops, just to see a small pile OF
Oregon hog stored therein. The bacon,
hams, etc., are in another building, but
in this one were thirty tons of dry-salt
sides and fifty barrels of lard.
The Portland Sun is responsible fol
the statement that at the caucus held by
Dolph's supporters at Salem last night
that the majority decided that Dolph
should withdraw, and on a ballot
being taken in order to decide whom
to vote for, Joe Simon received 1s, Will
liams 6, Fulton 8. and Tongue 2. The
vote today did not indorse that state
ment.
The legislature did some work yester
day, and some of it was in the direction
of economy, and the keeping of pledge
and the platform. The appropriation
bill as it came from the hands of tn
committee was $3.50, 900 smaller thai
two years ago. One item knocked from
the bill was the $40, 900 intended for pay
ing the railroad commissioners. It look
as though after all the railroad commits
sioners are going to get left. If ther
are no funds to pay them with applicant
for the places will not be SO numerous.
