deciding which way to run, possibly

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
Detailed Information Regarding the
Working of the Chemical Engine.

A reporter called upon Councilman
Lauer this morning to ascertain his
viewsand the views of the city council
as regards securing the much-talked-o of
chemical engine for The Dalles. Mr..
Lauer said there was an unanimity of
sentiment in favor of the engine by the
council, providing it could be secured by
popular subscription among those who
pay insurance. Whether or not it's ac-
quisItlon would be an added measure of
safety in case of fire does not enter into
the question, so long as the insurance
companies believe it will, and support
that belief by willingness to reduce in
surance rates per cent.
Mr.. Lauer estimates that Second
street alone could pay for a chemical en-
gine with the insurance money saved in
one year by its location in the city. The
plan is to secure enough subscriptions to
guarantee its purchase, then before buy
ing it exact a guarantee from the board
of underwriters that by its purchase and
placing it, the reduction will be made.
If all citizens under the bluff subscribe
OhO VI GLlO1I SdNOO III
this way, the engine would cost less than
5 per cent, or less than they would have
to pay out as an insurance premium the
next time it is due. After it is estab-
lished there is no further expense and
5 per cent reduction would apply yearly
for all time to come.
There is another advantage of the
0h n IF no
loss occasioned by water in damaging
goods or household effects, in tearing off
plaster1ng, lath and shingles, in flooding
floors and running carpets, is often
greater than that done by fire. The
chemical needs but little water for its
operation. A tank and engine is
mounted on four-wheeled cart of light
construction. It is wheeled rapidly to
the location of the fire by horses or men,
and light hose leading from the tank
is unreeled. The hose is 200 feet long,
but ordinarily not half that amount is
required, and can be handled by one
man. The tank has capacity of 100
gallons of water, and ordinarily a very
small share of this is needed. The
water is charged with the chemical and
turned 1.-THE blaze. It acts like choke
damp ina mine. The product is turned
into fumes of carbonic acid gas which
smother the fire Instantly. A stop cock
in the nozzle can be operated and the
hose can be taken in this manner from
room to room, only few quarts of water
being used, and which can do no appre.
ciable damage. By use of the electric
alarm boxes, the chemical could be ap-
piled to blaze in most cases within two
minutes from its observation. In fact
the efficacy of the chemical depends or
prompt action. When fire begins tc
assume proportions of confagration il
is of little avail.
Compare this System with the one al
present in use. A fire breaks out. The
/ alarm bell is rung in from one minute
to five. The alarm causes men to rur
from various places to the hose house
consuming from two to five minutes

ARTESIAN WELLS.
AIr. Kelsay win Try to Establish FOne
His Farm.

Mr.. A. NJ. Kelsay will commence
work Monday on an artesian well on his
place, west of town. The location of the
fwell will be in the old orchard, where a
little white house stands near the road.
The well-borer is Mr.. P. T. Kretzer, and
the engine and apparatus arrived on the
boat last night.
" Mr.. Kelsay has no idea of how deep
be will have to drill to strike flowing
water, but he has all confidence in find
ing it. This belief is inspired by his
observation of the numerous running
springs which exist all the way from
The Dalles to Chenoweth creek, particu-
larly along the base of the sand mount
ain behind the cemeteries, and is further
strengthened by the fact that Mr.. T. T.
Nicholas really struck a flowing vein of
artesian water of great force about two
years ago in the same shaft where he is
now boring for coal. This is about
mile above Mr.. Kelsay's farm. At the
time Mr.. Nicholas struck the water the
stream spouted out of two-inch hole
several feet up in the air. AS the hole
progressed in depth, the water was par
TALLY lost, but to this day fair-sized
rlvulet of water finds its way from this
hole down to Chenoweth creek. The
hole to be bored by Mr.. Kelsay will be
four inches wide, and if the same force
of water is struck as was done by Mr..
Nicholas it will be ample for all re-
quirements of the 32O acres owned by
Mr.. Kelsay.
The work is of course largely expert
mental, but it seems there are good
hopes of success. The expense of exper-
\ imenting is shared by Messrs. Snipes,
Pohns and Anderson. If artesian water
Is found, these men, and others in that
Heighborhood, propose to drill for the
valuable flow of water.

EASTER EGG LORE.
Curious Customs the Origin of Which Are
Lost in Antiquity.

Curious Customs the Origin of Which Are
Lost In Antiquity.
From the New York World.
The distribution Of eggs at Easter has
descended to us from the greatest of the
Chinese spring festivals, inaugurated
more than seven hundred years before
the Christian era.
The custom was particularly popular
during the fifteenth and sixteenth Gen.
turtles in England. The Pope sent
Henry VIII an Easter egg in a silver
case.
In Russia it is common to exchange
visits and eggs on Easter day.
In Italy dishes of eggs are sent to the
priests to be blessed, after which they
are carried home and placed in the CEN
ter of the table.
In Spain and Germany the eggs are
not blessed, but they are highly colored
and are distributed among callers to be
eaten or taken away according to the
taste Of the individual.
The custom, in one form or another
exists among the Jews, Greeks. Turks
and Persians.
"Paas" was the ancient name for
Easter, and the eggs were often called
pace" "pach" or ''paas' eggs.
In Scotland eggs are taken to church
to be blessed. They are afterwards dis.
tributed among the members Of the
household and are either eaten or saved
as keepsakes.
The decoration Of ordinary eggs origi.
mated in England. Gliding the shells
was the first step. This was followed
by the addition of ribbons, pictures and
various other devices to please the little
folk
These eggs were given and received
with the familiar Easter greeting
Christ is risen!" and the answer, "He
Is risen, indeed!"
Germans first introduced games into
the Easter celebration. Eggs were hid.
den about the lawn or grounds or in the
house. Then the children hunted fol
them, the finder Of the greater number
receiving q prize.
Sometimes the eggs were all put ir

honored and forgotten. But my other
child, my own dear child who has suf-
fered year after year with me-for the
wrong you have done her, never, new
er, never will forgive you! Not for
love of you have I spoken as I did to-
day. but for the honor of the Enderbys,
and because you were the child Of your
mother!"
Two days later at Southampton the
old man boarded little packet boat,
bound for Havre.
The years went by again. At last all
was changed in England. The mon
archy was restored. and all the land
was smiling and content. One day
there was a private reading in the
queens chamber The voice of the
reader moved in pleasantly yet vibrant
modulations:-
"The king was now come to a time
when his enemies wickedly began to
plot against him secretly and to op-
pose him in his purposes; which in
his own mind were beneficent and
magnanimous. From the shire where
his labors had been most unselfish
came the first malignant insult to his
person and the first peril Of his life
prefiguring the hellish plots and vio-
lence which drove him to his august
martyrdom-"
1He hIIls ldu tHtSTcu qulctly tAC
lady-in- waiting read this passage to
the queen, and, attracted by her voice,
continued to listen, signifying to the
queen, by gesture, that she and her
ladies were not to rise. This was In
the time when Charles was yet de-
voted to his princess Of Portugal, and
while she was yet happy and undis-
turbed by rumOrs-or assurances-of
her lords wandering affections.
"And what shire was that?" asked
the king at that point where the chron-
icler spoke of his royal fathers aug
ust martyrdOm."
1.-THE shire of Lincoln, your majesty"
said the young lady, flushing, and, ris-
ing from her footstool at the queens
feet, she made the king an elaborate
courtesy. -.
Charles made a gentle and playful
gesture of dissent from her extreme
formality. and with look Of admira-
tion, continued: tt..,-
my Lord Rippingdale should know
something of that first violence Of
which you have read, Mistress Falk-
ingham. He is of Lincolnshire"
HE knows all. your majesty; he was
present at that first violence"
1T would be amusing for Ripping
dale to hear these records-My Lord
Clarendon's, are they not? Ah?-not

in the formal copy of his work? And
by order Of my Lord Rippingdale? In
deed! Indeed! And wherefore, my
Lord Rippingdale?" ......
"Shall read on, your majesty?"
asked the young lady, with heightened
color, and a look Of adventure and pur-
pose in her eyes. Perhaps, too, there
was look Of anger in them-not
against the king, for there was a sort
Of eagerness or appealing in the glance
she cast toward his majesty.
The queen lifted her eyes to the king
half doubtfully, for the question SEEM
ed to her perilous, Charles being little
inclined, as a rule, to sit long In her
though he was ever gay in conversa-
tion and alert for witty badinage. His
majesty, however, seemed more than
ever complaisant; he was even boyish-
ly eager.
The young lady had been but a short
time in the household, having come
over with the queen from Portugal,
where she had been brought to the no.
tice of the then princess by her great
GOODNESS and bravery in rescuing
young lady Of Lisbon from grave peril.
She had told the princess then that she
was the daughter Of an exiled English
gentleman, and was in the care of her
aunt, one Mistress Falkingham. while
her father was gone on an expedition
to Italy. The princess, eager to learn
English, engaged her. and she had re-
NAMED In the palace till the princess
left for England. A year passed, and
then the queen Of England sent for her
and she had been brought close to the
person Of her majesty.
At a motion from Charles, who sat
upon q couch. idly tapping the buckles
on his shoes with his gold-handled staff
the young lady placed herself again at
the queens feet and continued reading.
