Colonel Henry A. Dupont is not to
represent Delaware in the United
States Senate After months Of delay a
vote on the question was taken yester-
day afternoon and the pretender was
defeated by vote Of 81 to 80 It WAS a
close margin. but amply sufficient to
keep the constitution Of Delaware from
beneath the feet Of the rampant Rspub-
LEANS who were In line to a man against
the alliance of Democrats and Popullsts.
We are not so foolish as to believe
that Senators Jones and Stewart, Of
Nevada, were actuAtsd by any profound
regard for the rights Of Delaware in the
premises. They were aotuAted by de-
sire to preserve the populistic balance Of
power which now prevails in the nations
highest legislative body. Whatever
their motives, we thank them for their
votes, for the Democratic contention
that a vacancy existed has been sus-
tained.
Now there is a seat In the Senate
chamber for somebody. and It is prize
worth striving for Under existing
political conditions in Delaware 1t will
be secured by J. Edward Addlcks or
Democrat, most likely the latter Neither

Wehfonters and Alfalfa

Mr.. J. c. Wingfeld, who recently
returned from visit to Clackama:
county, tells good one on some of the
Webfoot farmers. Last year some OF
them secured limited amount OF alfal-
IA seed from this side of the mountain,
and having heard of it's wonderful
growth, expected to see it assume such
immense proportions that it would
overshadow everything else on their
farms if it were given a chance, so
they sowed the seed in places where
they thought they could regulate
the growth if it become danger
Gus. One planted his seed in his door
yard. and last summer it began to dis
play such an adaptability to the soil
and climate that he became uneasy
lest it should choke all other vegeta-
tion on the farm, and undertook to
check the growth by cutting off the
sprouts: it would not die, and having
been planted at the foot of f,vorite
shade tree, he is perplexed as to how
he will get rid of the stuff without
killing the tree. Another planted his
in more favored locality, and when
it began to show signs of roofing
everything else out he grubbed it up
and threw it into the river. 1t would
have been unfortunate indeed if alfalfa
had taken all of these gentlemen's
farms, and produced from three to five
tons an acre on the land on which they
are raising 40-cent wheat AMI 15-cent
oats

In the Circuit Court of the State OF Ore
gon. for Wasco County.
We the grand jury, duly empan-
neled for the February term, 1893, res
pectfully show to the court:
That we have been in session three
days, and have inquired into all crimes
committed in this county, so far as
they have been brought to our notice,
and as result of our labors have re.
turned into court four indictments.
We have visited the various county
officials, and have been courteously re-
ceived by all and have been shown
every facility for examiation of the
books and accounts of the county off,
GERS. We have also visited and inquired
into the condition and management of
the county jail. and find it neat, and as
securely kept as its construction will
admit. We examined the sheriff's Of
fee and find the books correctly kept,
it's officer well qualified, courteous and
obliging; inspected the county clerks
Office and find it neat and clean, all
books we'll cared for and records corr
rectly and well kept, and an honor
to our county; inspected the county
treasurer's office, and find the books
properly and correctly kept, and COM
mend him as an obliging and efficient
officer.
We endorse the action of the county
court in carefully examining into all
claims against the county, and in their
conservativeness in allowing the same,
and we especially recommend the ac-
ton of said court in the matter of pub.
lie roads, in making levy of one r,ill
tax on all taxable property in the
county for road purposes, and recon-
mend that this system be continued
until all the roads in the county are
in first class condition. We endorse
the action OF said court in making
the necessary improvements and re-
pairs in the sheriff s and clerks offices.
We also endorse the Hon. A. A.
Jayne, district attorney, for his i'm
partial and business-like manner in
the discharge of his duties, and COM
mend him as an honest and efficient
officer.
We strongly recommend that the
county court purchase new type

To XIII Ground Squirrels.

The following offered by an exchange
has been proven to be the best for the
determination of gophers and ground
squirrels: Take ave-gallon can and
put stick of PHOSPHORUS with little
water in the bottom of it. Pour in
hot--not boiling-water, just hot
enough to melt the PHOSPHORUS grad
ually. Add two pounds of sugar and
stir. Then add corn meal and -four in
equal quantities to make thick batter.
Then stir in whole wheat until the
batter is quite stiff. Pour in at the
same time fifteen or twenty drops of
rhodium. The wheat will absorb all
the water and the mass will become
hard. For use chip off small pieces
off the size of hickory nut andiplace
in the run.

Score One For the Ladies

1t was a foregone conclusion that the
leap year ball Tuesday would be a
success, but it was even greater sue
cess than the most san guine had hoped
for. There were some sixty couples in
attendance, and every gentleman who
was fortunate enough to have been
favored with an invitation is ready to
give evidence of the ladies' ability to
conduct a dancing party, and also to
make themselves very agreeable to
their guests. The music was furnished
By The Orchestra Union, and the floor
management was in charge of COM
mittee of ladies who were adopts, and
who kept the dance going merrily
on, never allowing interest to wane.
The ladies also served an elegant
lunch in the front rooms of the Bald
win which was by no means the least
attractive feature of the evening.

We also most emphatically condemn
the city council of The Dalles, as re
| sponsible for the deplorable condition
of the approaches to the city from the
various county roads leading into the
city, and have appointed Mr.. F. a.
Seufert 3 committee of one to appear
before the next grand jury for the
purpose of laying this matter before
them, if not remedied in the meantime.
We also desire to thank Hon. W. L.
Bradshaw for his impartial and bust
ness like manner in the discharge of
his duties, for mis- assistance and ad-
vice to us, enabling US to facilitate our
work, and properly perform our duties
with as little cost to the taxpayers as
possible.
Having disposed of all business that
has been brought before US, and hav-
ing no further business to transact, we
respectfully ask to be discharged.

,Isssmeet;us at Hood River.

At 2P. N, Saturday, February IL,
there will be a massmeeting held in
the town OF Hood River for the pur-
pose of discussing what effects the
leasing of Hood river to the Hood
River Lumber Co. will have upon the
lum per interests of that valley. All
phases Of questions will be considered,
and if it is determined to be detrimen-
tai to the interests of that section steps
will be taken to get the lease revoked.
Tho matter is one in which the resi-
dents Of Hood River valley, especially
the owners of timber land, take deep
interest. They extend an invitation
TO the people Of The Dalles to attend
their meeting, SO that they can deter
mine whether or not the leasing of the
river is just. We would suggest that
it would be we'll for delegation from
this city to attend the meeting, since
we have an indirect interest at least in
seeing that none of the taxable prop
erty of the county is rendered value
less. as the owners of timber land on
Hood river claim their property will
be in case the lease is allowed TO stand.

Serving Ont His Fine.

Last Monday Thomas Denton and
A Sandoz engaged in fistic encounter
IN the county court room while
heatedly discussing proposition be-
fore the court, and were each fined $40
by Judge Blakeley for contempt of
court. Mr.. Sandoz promptly paid his
fine and Mr.. Denton was allowed to go
on his own recognizance until Thursday
afternoon, when Sheriff Driver took
him in charge and informed him that
he must either pay his fine or sgo to
Jail. Mr.. Denton chose the latter, and
was duly placed behind the bars. Mr..
Denton stated to a TINES Noun
TANNER reporter that he was abund-
antly able to pay his fine, but con-
sidered it an injustice and proposed to
serve it out in Jail. Further, than
this he would make no statement in
reference to his imprisonment.

rhe cascade Eorest Reserre

Hermann has introduced bill in
the house to allow mineral entries un.
der the mineral land laws upon the
Cascade forest reserve. What is
needed is that this whole reserve be
reduced to something like reasonable
size and that much of the good lands
therein be thrown open to settlement
Oregon needs more people and it is
ruinous policy to tie up an area larger
than several of the Eastern states to
please the mountain climbers or to fill
the pockets of timber SPECTATORS A
forest reserve about some of our lofty
mountains, craters, and the big caves
in Southern Oregon would be good
thing, but the present reserve is SER
ious drawback to the settlement and
development of this state, and the peo-
pie cannot urge this too strongly upon
our representatives at the national
capital-Albany Herald.

An Efficient CnmnanH.

At the regular weekly drill of Co. G
last night, Col. Thompson, commander
of the Third regiment put the company
through five eyolutions of the battalion
school, and was highly pleased with
the efficiency shown by the officers
and soldiers. The battalion was Off.
cered with Col. Thompron as com
mander, Lieut.. McAvoy assistant ad.
jutsnt, Sergeant Lemerson sergeant
major. The company was divided into
two companies, Capt. Chrisman COM
manding the first company, with Ser
geant Bartell as right guard and Ser
geant Cheesman as left guard, while
Lieut.. Reese had command of the sec
ond, with Sergeant Van Norden in
charge of the right guard and Private
Kennedy of the, left. The different
evolutions were executed with much
precision, showing that Co. G. is be-
coming very efficient in the tactics
pertaining to war. The company is
one of which The Dalles may we'll feel
proud, and is composed of men who
would not finch in case of being called
into active service.s - :.

The boat railway if it is put into
practice at Cello will be infinitely
better than portage road and at least
| half a century quicker than canal.
From the time it has taken to COM
plete half-lnile of canal at the Cas-
cades, the child has not been born that
would see the completion of a canal OF
sufficient length to make navigation
possible at Cello. With a portage It
would be necessary to break bulk
twice in shipments between the upper
river aud tide water. The boat rail-
way will pick the boats out of the
water, cargo and all and set them back
in the water on the other side of the
distractions. This of course would
save all the expense of unloading and
would greatly facilitate transportation.
Either boat railway, portage or canal
will meet with substantial opposition,
so there would be no difference in that
direction. What the people would
like to see now is the Washington del
egation unite with Oregon and procure
a sufficient appropriation to begin a
work which when completed will re-
lieve the Inland Empire from exces-
sive transportation ratcs.-Arlington
