ABOUT 2HE WATER WORKS.

ga Water Consumer" in Saturdays
issue requested US to publish the reports
of the manager of the city water works,
and to answer several questions pertain
ing to the income and management of
the city water works. We have made
such inquiry and examination of the
matter as our limited time permitted,
and find that there is no formal report
made by the manager, but at each meet
ing OF the water commission his collec-
tion list is submitted for inspection and
and a verbal report is made. A book is
kept by the manager, showing the
names of the consumers and the amount
each is charged, and this book is subject
to the inspection of the commission and
of any one else interested and who
wishes to look at it. This is the record
kept of the consumers and collections.
We are Informed by the manager
that during the past five years the ag-
gregate loss by reason of the failure of
consumers to pay water rent, aggregates
not to exceed $7o; that since January /,
1895, all water rents are charged to the
property owners, and if the tenants
leave without paying, the owner of the
property has to pay.
The importance of this business, tie
large amount collected, the value of the
property involved, and the interest
which the present and future residents
OF the city should and will take in this
matter, renders it i'm porGant that the
business be carefully conducted and an
accurate record preserved. We are
pleased to find that the business is so
well conducted by the present manage
ment and the commission.

A LAMENrABLE MISTAKE.

The last chapter in the history of the
bandits, who last year commenced a
career of crime by robbing Mays &
Groves store, was finished in Portland
Saturday by the sentencing OF John
Hawthorne to five years IN the peniten-
tiary and fine of 500. Those of the
boys who have gone to the penitentiary
are neither OF them malicious. Both
had fair opportunities, and with less
preparation than most young men have
who undertake burglary, they began a
career which promised the worst possi-
BILE termination. The result is bad
enough; but apparently both have been
brought to their senses and will come
out of Jail with determination to be
men. That they were SO quickly
brought to a stand is the most fortunate
circumstance in their history.
There are other boys and young men
in The Dalles whose chosen path in life
is in the same direction as that of the
boys above referred to. Their progress
is less rapid, but it leads none the less
surely to disaster and ruin for them
selves and grief to their friends. That
they have escaped the laws power thus
far is not at all to their credit, but GER
tainly to their misfortune, and the mis-
fortune of society. There are worse
misfortunes to the reckless boy than be-
ing caught and punished in early life for
his violation of the law, and one of these
is to be acquitted of crime of which he
is actually guilty, or escape detection in
the beginning of their criminal career.

salvation Amy anniversary.

One year ago anyone who happened
on Second street in the early evening
might have seen two young men dressed
in the uniform of the Salvationists.
This was the beginning of the Salvation
Army work in The Dalles and last Satur-
day night the first anniversary was
celebrated. The army marched to Win
gates hall where the exercises were
held. The large room had been well
decorated und large number of seats
provided for the crowd. ! he meeting
was an enthusiastic one conducted under
Salvation Army methods, which if not
understood by those on the outside seem
to be effecsual in winning many to their
standard. Judged by the old scripture
verse that "By their fruits We shall know
them," the Salvation Army is to be
praised for their labor throughout the
world.
Sundays meetings were conducted in
similar manner except that in the
evening Major Morton gave short out
line of the work in general, telling some
striking incidents about the usefulness
of the Salvation Army work in other
places. After the address followed the
swearing in of new recruits. Whenait
came to the part assigned to the farewell
of Lieut.. Ward some very complimentary
remarks were made about him and his
work. Lieut.. Ward has been IN The
Dalles about six months and has made
many friends by his kind and earnest
manner. He has just been appointed to
the place of captain and will be placed
in charge of the army work at Corvallis.
Lieut.. Ward then delivered farewell
address which was we'll received by those
present. Mrs. Capt: Sharp of Seattle
added much to the exercises by her
beautiful singing. Capt. Smith still re-
mains in The Dalles and new ieuten-
ant will come in few days tostake the
place made vacant by the departure of
Mr.. Ward. g
The anniversary meetings continue to-
night and 1t is expected large audience
will be in attendance.

BILE conclusion, which in its mildest
phase is wasted life. But the worst of
it is that every life is bound with some
one else's happiness or misery, and
there are mothers, sisters and wives
whose hearts are slowly breaking as they
watch their loved ones fall away from
the paths they should tread. 1t doesn't
need age or experience to see that which
a young man soweth he shall also reap,
and it is lamentable sight to see, as is
all too common in The Dalles, young
men with marked ability in their every
day life, wasting their heritage and
growing old before their time.
This is not a temperance lecture; but
there come times when we must stop
and consider. The hope of the nation is
in its young men; their young shoulders
must bsar the burdens which our fathers
lay down and their brave young hearts
must meet responsibility. The time for
preparation is In days of youth and each
wasted hour will be sad memory when
age comes on.

KLICKIT4T INDEBTEDNESS.

Klickitat county is having a serious
time over its Indebtedness. Being al
ready badly in debt, it a few years ago
placed the management OF it's affairs in
the hands of populists-the class of men
who know all that is to be known of
financial science-and the inevitable
h plened; the country was swamped.
An effort has recently been made to
validate the illegitimate indebtedness
and bond the county; but this is likely
to fail. We understand that the county
commissioners have recently taken steps
to bond the Indebtedness under the old
law. 1t is very greatly to be desired
that they will succeed. An attempt is
being made to have all current funds
applied in payment of current expenses,
if the outstanding Indebtedness is not
bonded this new plan will of course re-
suit in practical repudiation.
Wasco and Sherman county warrants
are selling at par. We doubt if Klicki-
tat warrants can be sold at any price.

Ex-senator F. M. Sanders of Montana
is reported as SAYING: 1.-The free silver
talk by newspapers and demagogues is
something wearying. There is not a
newspaper between Minneapolis and
the Pacific coast that is not full of cries
of '16 to L. crime of IS73,' and all the
rest of that rot" The first portion of
the quotation is true, but the latter is
not. 1t is evident that the ex-senator

Y. W. C. T. U.

During the past twenty one years
the Catholic Total Abstinence Union
of America has done noble and heroic
work in the cause of sobriety and
public decency. But with our ten
millions OF Catholics, this grand
association should number instead of
sixty thousand, six hundred thou
sand members If our church coun-
ellis are to be headed, if the utter
ances of the sovereign pontiff are to
be respected, if we will not turn
deaf ear to the repeated appeals of
our best and wisest prelates, there
must be a new awakening among our
Catholic people against the wither-
ing curse Of drink.
The church, by the united voice of
our bishops assembled in the third
plenary council at Baltimore, warns
its members against the dangers of
the drink habit and the temptations
Of the saloon. The same council
warns our Catholic people against
the business of saloon keeping as San
unbecoming way of making a living"
A man cannot be good Catholic, a
loyal follower of the teachings of the
church of this country, and be a good
friend of the saloon. Much less can
Catholic be a saloon keeper and
dutiful child of the church.
The drink curse shields itself be-
hind false theories of science, and
many have been deluded by the false
motion that alcohol is beneficial to
health. Too much Importance can
not be attached to the practice of
intoxicating habits of total abstinence
among children and our boys and
girls during the dangerous and try
ing period of youth.
If our prelates, priests and people
join hands together to work in
harmony and strength for the reali- |
zation of the admonitions of our
plenary councils, the awful curse of |
can be almost entirely
eradicated from among us. We |
must encourage. then, our total |
abstinence societies by every means
at our command. We priests, mind
full of Pope Leo's words, must "shine
as models of abstinence" and by ex-
hortation and preaching avert the
many calamities with which the vice
threatens church and state.

SKELETONS ABOUT PUNAHOU'
Several Unearthed Suggest Bits Of
Forgotten History.
Kamehameha i Made His Dwelling
There-Rock Moved From
Manoa Valley.

The recent unearthing of three mod
erately welI-preserYed skulls and
other remains of dead natives in a
pipe-trench, just outside of Punahou
College grounds calls to mind bit OF
Hawaiian history with which but
comparatively few persons are &C
quainted.
The region Immediately surround
ing Punahou has always been noted
for its great fertility, owing to the
constant downpour of rain in Manoa
Valley washing to the lower lands the
rich soil of the mountains.
On account of this fact, the beauty
of the surroundings, and the abund-
ance of fine spring water, Kameha-
meha I made this one of his favorite
dwelling places and gathered about
him what was considered IN those
days q very large colony.
At one time he discovered an i'm
mense rock in Manoa and engaged
relays of natives to move it near his
dwelling-place, which was close to the
spot where the remains were found
few days ago. The rock was blasted
small piece remains. It is an inter
esting fact that Kamehameha seat
ed himself on the rock as it was being
conducted to it's new position.
In an interview with Professor
Hosmer yesterday it was learned that
skulls and other remains of natives
have been found from time to time in
the rich soil Immediately back of the
main building. Many of these ap-
pear to have been under ground for
year while others are of much
more recent appearance. Many of the
remains when unearthed,- gave every
evidence of the deceased having been
buried in a standing posture. In
close proximity to the remains bits of
charred wood were sometimes found
giving rise to the theory that feasts or
celebrations akin to these were car
ried on at the graves. Although re.
mains have been found in quite a
number of places on the college
grounds, the spot Immediately back
of the main hall has so far proved the
most productive.

Discovery of a Prehistoric Cave.

Workingmen blasting rock at
Oban, in the Highlands, have acct
dentally disclosed what is de-
scribed as capital specimen of a
bone cave, near st. Columbia Par
ish Church. In the cave were
many shells and bones. Among
the larger bones there appeared to
be part of one or more human skel-
etons, and there is little doubt that
these will be added to when a more
exhaustive search has been made.
There can be no doubt that the
troglodytes who first used the cave
as residence, and whose immedi-
ate descendants afterward used it
as place of sepulture for their
departed friends, lived long an
terror to the Christian era.-West-
