Mercur was slaughtered mercilessly,
the knife being driven in to the hilt,
resulting in the sale of 100 shares at

Ontario made decided advances, so

Sunshine, like Mercur, experienced a

ted that there was a deal pending on
the Hillside group of claims at Mercur

that we are able to state authoritative
~ that the negotiations were closed
yesterday and the papers signed, con-

The Hillside group of nine claims
adjoin the great Mercur mine on the
south, and is considered by mining
men to be one of the best undeveloped
properties on the Mercur ore zone.
1t is the intention of the new pur-
chasers to begin development work as
soon as practicable. and in doing this
they will sink a double-compartm
shaft and open up the property in
systematic and thorough manner.
The price paid by Messrs. Chambers

the Hillside has not been made public,
but it is understood that it was a

DR.. Cannon responded, saying that
while she had not mingled extensively
with the Democratic ladies since the
call was issued it was her opinion
that the women did not desire sepa-

The Democratic state central COM
mittee held an important meeting al
Unity hall last night and fixed the ap.
portionment of representatives at the
state convention to elect delegates tc
the national convention in Chicago and
discussed other matters of interest tC
the party.
The meeting was not confined tc
members of the committee alone, and
many prominent leaders from all parts
of the state were present and took ar
active part in the proceedings. Nor was
the meeting confined to men alone, a
| delegation of prominent Democratic
ladies being present, making a striking
contrast to the Republican committee
gathering of a few nights ago.
In calling to order, Chairman Powers
announced that he would invite partici-
patton from Democrats outside of the
committee. There were several matters
to be decided, prominent among which
was the ACCESSIBILITY of holding one or
two conventions. 1t had been suggest
ed that only one convention be held Gor
the selecting of delegates to Chicago
and nominating a candidate for con-
gresham. In the event this plan
should be adopted it would necessarily
| be an early convention, which might not
entirely be desirable owing to the con-
dition of national political affairs. The
next matter would be the selection of
a time and place for holding the con-
vention
Judge Powers followed this announce
ment up by reading his report and ad-
dress to the party. The address will be
in cd -io1 nf G
issue.
TWO CONVENTIONS.
The first matter taken under consid-
GRAFTON was the question of holding one
or two conventions. 1t was apparent,
however, that the latter plan was the
more favored.
Hon. Farley L. Williams moved that
it be the sense of the gathering that
two conventions be held, and this car
ried without discussion or opposition.
Salt Lake was then chosen as the
place for holding the convention to
elect delegates to the national conVen-
ton at Chicago, Provo receiving one
vote, by a member from Willard, out of
the sixteen counties represented at the
meeting.
The time for holding the convention
precipitated some discussion. There
middle part of June. Others wanted it
in May. Secretary McDaniels called
attention to suggestions of many of
the southern and western conventions
that all conventions in the silver states
be held as early as possible in order
that the delegations might have an OPP
portunity to confer and map out a pro-
gramme to be carried out at Chicago.
After some further debate it was
agreed to hold it some time between
June / and 10, the exact date to be de-
cided upon by Chairman Powers.
ONE TO FORTY.
The ratio of representation also
caused some discussion. 1t was finally
adjusted at one delegate to every forty
votes cast for governor at the last cleo
ton, which will make the representa-
ton of the several counties as follows:

The Dalles is All Right.

People who live in one town all the
time have no fair conception of the sort
of place in which they are spending
their existence. It is necessary to GO
beyond the shadow of your own house
to find out what kind of grass plats your
neighbours have, and the same thing is
true of towns and cities. Persons who
make business of travelling from one
place to another, learn to form quick
judgments of the towns that come under
their observations and unless the In
spection is too superficial, the conclusion
IS generally a correct one. In this con-
nection, CHRol;IcLE reporter heard
some testimony today of pleasant sort.
Mr.. w. F. Pinkham, of the Oregon
Fruit Union, was in the city yesterday
and portion of today, and in a CONVEX
sation said that he believed The Dalles
to be the most prosperous town in the
state. Mr.. Pinkham was manager of
Fruit Union business in The Dalles last
summer and for the past few months
has been acting in the same capacity at
Rosebnrg. His business has called him
from place to place in the state and he
has noted the conditions of business and
the prospects in the towns he has visited.
In speaking of fruit shipments, Mr..
Pinkham SAID that Wasco county fur
nished one-third of the fruit which was
shipped from Oregon last season and
the highest prices paid in the eastern

A Decision Rendered.

A decision was rendered this morning
in the matter of dividing Dufur precinct.
The afternoon yesterday, as we'll as the
morning, was taken up with hearing the
arguments of the opposing sides. The
debate was quite acrimonious, and the
disputants were not at all averse to ex-
pressing themselves in forcible language.
The tilt of eloquence was greatly en-
joyed by the spectators and some side
lights were thrown upon the play of
politics in Dufur precinct. Messrs. T.
II. Johnston and M. ]. Anderson, who
appeared as against the granting of the
petition, left for their home last night,
and this morning members of the court
received several telephone messages ask
ing that nothing be done until they
could return, as it was declared new
evidence had been discovered. The line
to Dufur was kept "pretty hot,'' in the
language of one of the courthouse Off
cials, but the judge and commissioners
decided that they had spent enough
time with the matter, and declined to
prolong the agony further. This morn
ing the court decided to grant the petit
ton asked for, which was championed
by w. n. H. Dufur and J. M. Nolin.
The new precinct will be called Ram
sey, and will embrace school districts 27
and 36, with a portion of 81. The area
mentioned will poll about seventy-five
votes, but it is probable that portion
of Kingsley precinct will be added to the
one just created, which will give it vot-
ing population of about I25. The end
of the matter is not reached yet, and the
echoes of the precinct division will be
borne on the winds around Dufur town
for some time to come.
Mr.. Dufur and Mr.. Nolin departed for
home this morning in happy frame of
mind.
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1896-01-16

O'Brien were appointed judges and j.
w. Nolin and Frank Chase clerks. AS
the first two named had been appointed
for Dufur precinct but the division
throwing them into Ramsey, Monroe
Heisler and Edward Bohan were named
in their stead. A new road district, No.
27, was created today.
The non-commissioned officers gave
smoker last evening to the members of
After the drill was over the militiamen
gave themselves over to having pleas
ant time. Refreshments were served
and pipes and tobacco provided in
abundance. During the evening an inn
promptu tug-of-war was arranged and
much interest occasioned in the contest.
The interest taken by the members of
the national guard in the organization is
continually increasing, and the militia
here was never in better condition. At
a meeting of the non. commissioned off,
GERS, held this week, nine were present.
From interviews with several stock
men we gather that the snow is not un-
welcome. The coming of winter now
means that the cold weather will proba-
bly, not continue late and the approach
of spring will not be delayed. An early
spring is what the stockmen and farm
,ers want, and as long as we are going to
have some winter, it had better come
how than later. 1t is also said that it
Is easier to feed stock with snow on the
ground than it is when mud abounds.
THE days of trusting to luck for the feed
ing of stock are over in Eastern Oregon,
and every good stockman is provided
with feed for his stock. Unless the
weather is unusually severe the stock is
expected to go through the season in
good shape.

markets were for fruit from this vicinity.
Our fruit made name for itself in the
East, and there will be demand for it
next summer that will give our shippers
an advantage over those from other To-
calities.
AS compared with Roseburg, Albany,
Eugene and other valley towns, The
Dalles is much livlier in business way.
Mr.. Pinkham was of the opinion that in
none of them is the amount of daily
business transacted SO large as in The
Dalles. The Importance of this place as
a fruit shipping point has become so es-
tablished that it is probable the union
will build and operate large warehouse
here for the better handling of Wasco
county's fruit

BRIEF MENTION.
Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.

Mckinley club meeting tonight.
The weather bureau says we are going
to have colder weather tomorrow, with
occasional snow.
Don't forget the meeting of the Nc
Kinley club at the council chambers
this evening at o'clock.
In the list of officers enstalled
Tuesday evening in the order of the
Eastern Star the name of Mrs. Blakeley
appeared as marshal. 1t should have
read Mrs. T. A. Hudson, as she was the
lady elected to that Office.
Examinations are in progress in the
city public Eschools, and for a time the
life of a scholar is not altogether devoid
of trouble: Tomorrow the tests win be
over, and the results will determine the
progression of the students.
After creating the new precinct neaE
Dufur the county court had almost de-
cided to call it Venezuela, but an in
quirY from one of the officials as to how
it was spelled suggested some obstruc-
tions to the plan which had not before
been considered, and so Ramsey was de-
cided upon. =
The opportunity for sleighing was
taken advantage of last evening by quite
a number of pngipeople. The jingling
of sleigh bells wae heard till late hour
and loads of young people made the air
resound with merry voices. It looks as
if sleighing would continue good for
quite period.
Among the actions done by the county
court court this morning was one de-
claring Hood river a public highway.
A petition to this effect was presented to
the court and was readily granted. This
declaring of Hood river public high
way gives to anyone the right to float
lumber, logs, telegraph poles, etc, down the
river. thereby destroying any monopoly
of this privilege, which might be crc-
ated. To all intents and purposes,
Hood river is a navigable strea \, ex-
cepting that its waters are not deep
enough nor its banks sufficiently wide.
Being a public highway is the nearest
to navlgable river it can attain.
Judge Blakeley and County Commits
sioners Darneille and Blowers decided
upon the tax levy this morniug for the
ensuing year. The county levy was
placed at 21 mills. A special road tax
OF l mill was levied, the proceeds OF
which will be applied towards making
needed repairs upon county roads and
especially upon the lower 5-Mile road
leading out OF The Dalles. The neces-
sity of improvement has long been ap-
parent. The dividing of the Dufur pre-
cinct made some changes necessary in
the list of judges and clerks as published
Tuesday. For Ramsey precinct, James
LeDuc, F. NJ. Thompson and n. P.
