BRIEF MENTION.

Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters
A mighty gleam of sunshine,
glimpse of a waning moon,
And "Oh, my love-"
And a cream cheese dove,
And the sound of the loud bassoon.
If the mystified reader wonders
What in thunder this rubbish means,
Tis hash like the trash
For which "poets'' get cash
From most of the magazines.

COUNTY COURT.
What Led to the Fight Yesterday
Business of the Day.

Messrs. R. W. Wickham, James Nell
son, Thos. Denton and others appeared
before the county court yesterday, en-
deavoring to have the boundaries of road
district No. 10, Upper Mill creek,
changed back to what they recently
were. Strong argument was advanced
by these parties for a reinstatement of
the former boundaries. 1t is claimed by
the parties that the plans responsible
for the change are not feasible and that
Misrepresentation has been made. The
road over the mountain between the
forks of Mill creek cannot be made short
of an expense of So 900, and as matter
the mountain worthy of note. In times
past four different roads have already
been begun and abandoned, having in
view the traverse of this inaccessible
mountain. The country is untitled for
agriculture, having been settled and
abandoned for non-p -productiveness twice
in eighteen years. There is but one pur-
suit that can be followed for a livelihood
and that is work in the timber. There
will consequently never be many tax
payers, and the road as an investment by
the county, would be losing PROPOSE
ton. This was the representation made
by the gentlemen named in the begin
ming of this article.
Mr.. Mitchell of the opposing side of
the controversy, was also present and
gave his version, also a petition signed
by himself and neighbors that the di-
vision remain as it is. The Mitchell
side found some unexpected opposition
in the presence of Thos. Denton and
others of district No. 9, and the heat of
argument was what precipitated the
fight in the court room yesterday. Mr..
Sandoz had applied some epithet to Mr..
Denton, which the latter resented by
blows. The court fined the combatant
$40 and took the matter under advise
ment.

OPENING OF THE LOCKS.
Departure of Committee to Ascertain,
HPossibIe, the xact-na+ev

Recent correspondence of The Dalles
Commercial Club with the clubs of Port-
land, Astoria and Vancouver in relation
to fitting celebration of the event OF
the passage through the locks of the
first steam boat, resulted in Messrs. A.
S. Mac Allister and Emile Schanno
going to the Locks last night, there 70
meet delegations from the points named.
The joint committee will ascertain, def
nitely if possible, the exact date when
the locks will be opened, and Immedi-
ately on their return details will be ar
ranged for the elebration.-- :
The dead sea fruit of anticipation has
been so often pressed to the lips of our
people that it would be nothing short of
cruelty to announce another postpone
ment of the long-looked-for event, but
the stern duties of an impartial chroni-
cler bids US remark the opinion of a
man who would be reasonably sure of
what he was talking about. A gentle
man of wide experience in river work,
well-known to our citizens, and who is
at the Locks daily, was in The Dalles
Sunday, and was heard to remark to
several of our people that there is no
possibility of boat coming through the
locks on March 1st, and that the feat
cannot be accomplished short of the 1st
of November. He said that while the
contract work of the Day Bros. will
most likely be completed on the date
named, there is other work necessary to
be done for the passage of boats, with
which the Day Bros. have at present
nothing to do.
What this work is, if his opinion is
true, and everything else of Importance
to be known, will undoubtedly be
learned by the committee sent by The
Dalles, and published by THE CHRoS-
IcLE on their return. If the prophecy is
well-founded, the news of its possibility
in advance would act as an opiate, and if
not well-founded, then indeed would the
sorrows of defeat be swallowed up In

The district attorney sensibly made a

been discovered that would influence a
third trial to probable conclusion.

boring for Coa,.

Mr.. T., T. Nicholas, who is boring a
shaft for coal on Chenoweth creek, has
drilled about sixty feet into an immense
strata of pure iron. The metal, so far
beneath the surface, is very soft, which
makes drilling extremely slow, and be-
ing about 800 feet deep it is impracti-
inch and half of depth is all that is
gained IN a hard days work. Mr..
Nicholas is very hopeful that directly
beneath this iron will be found the
coveted coal, as experience of other coal
fields would indicate. Mr.. Nicholas is
determined to go through this iron if it
not at all likely.

WOMEN GO STUNNING.
Members of W.C.TU. Visit Disorderly
Houses and Pray for Inmates.

Pittsburg, Oct. 16.-Twenty delegates
to the w. c. T. u, all but two of whom
were gray haired mothers, last night
went on a stunning tour under the
chaperonage of Mrs. Charlton Edholm,
superintendent of the Florence Crit
tenton missions.
The tour was in progress for two
hours and they We're confident that
some good results would accrue from
their work Four disorderly houses
were visited Only in one instance was
admission refused, but in other places
the inmates gave them a courteous re-
ception. Many of the women seemed
much affected and gave way to tears
and Joined their prayers with those OF
the Christian women They threw their
arms about the necks of the visitors
and shed tears. Some pathetic Incl
dents occurred and the women Of the
union prayed long and fervently.
While the disorderly women accorded
the ladies of the union courteous re-
ceptiOn, the men who gathered from
the neigh borhood to the number of 20,
were inclined to look upon the matter
in a spirit Of levity. They followed the
party to each house visited and rang
the door bells while the prayers were
being offered.
The first house visited was 525 Third
avenue, between Grant and Ross street.
The proprietress was absent, but an
other woman appeared at the door.
She at first declined to allow the visit
ors to enter, pleading a superstition
that women visitors on Monday night
was an omen of i'll luck. She finally
opened the door and admitted the Wis
ttors. who at once fell upon their knees
and began to pray. Gospel songs We're
then sung but fell on unheeding ears.
The inmates remained silent and de-
clined to be moved.
At No. 523 no attention was paid to
the repeated ringing of the bell At
NO. 1876 (old number) in the same block

they were quickly ordered to repair to
the rear rooms. The stunning party
were invited into the parlor. There
were four inmates and they with the
Joined their prayers with those of the
visitors. They wept and promised to
lead better lives. Nos. 1873, 1914 and 1856
were also entered, but the women
were coldly Indifferent to the prayers
and appeals that were made in their
behalf.

PINGREE POTATO PARTY.
a Number of PhiIanthropic Individu-

New York. oct. 16.-Pingree's Potato
Patch party viii be organized in this
city during the coming winter if the
plans of number of philanthropic in
dividuals in Harlem go through. The
objects Of the new party win be to i'm
press on the mayor and board of alder
men the feasibility of converting va
cant city lots, now unproductive and
going to waste, into garden spots for
the poor.
The plan has been tried in Detroit
and Buffalo with great success, and
many a poor mans family can bless
the day that enabled them to raise their
own potatoes The formation of the
society for the encouragement Of po-
tato raising will not be agitated until
the present excitement attending the
presidential campaign is over. It is
likely that the movement win take the
form of a monster petition, which will
be addressed to the mayor and board
of aldermen.
