BRIEF MENTION.
Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.

The weather report for tomorrow is
rain and cooler.
A gentle rain today has added to the
moisture in the ground.
The peace of the city was unbroken
last night and the police court this
morning was bereft of occupants.
The Excelsior Club has completed all
arrangements for their grand masque
ball on the 10th. Do not forget the
place, the armory hall.
A meeting of the Red Men will be held
at their council tonight, at which several
pale faces will be proposed for adoption
in the council. The installation of Off
GERS will occur next week.
Quite number of our citizens are en-
gagged in sturgeon fishing, and lines are
being strung at various places along the
Columbia's banks. Sturgeon fishing is
proving quite profitable industry.
S. S. King, gentleman who stopped
at the Umatilla House yesterday, lost
bound train last evening. The finder,
if he will leave it at the Umatilla
House, will receive a reward.
Pedestrians are rejoicing in some Eew
cross walks on Second ST. feet. One at
the corner of Second and Court streets
was laid this morning; s;-sbd another is
being built today at the cbrner-o Wash
lngton and Second. No one will deny
but that they are badly needed.
The reading room of the Commercial
club is constantly used by the members.
At any time after business hours mem
bers can be found perusing the latest
magazines and papers. The need of
such place is proven to have existed,
by the manner in which it now is being
used.
Mr.. J. o. Mack returned today from
Portland, where he attended meeting
of horsemen from different places in the
Northwest. The session was a success
full one and arrangements were made for
a good circuit during the coming year.
The date for The Dalles fair has been
set for October 10.

Messrs. Geo. A. Liebe, w. n. Butts and

Assessment Roll Returned.

At the county clerks Office today was
received the report from the state board
of equalization. The changes made in
Wasco county's assessment are consid-
erably more than was thought probable
at the time the assessment was COM
pleted. In the item OF town lots the
state board made a reduction of ten per
cent, a similar deduction being made
from the assessed valuation of improve
ments upon the same. The valuation of
improved lands the state board reduced
from 1896 to $3.4S per acre. The inn
provements on decided lands were re-
duced five per cent. The value of the
o. r. & N. Co.'s railroad track in this
county was cut down $3.50 per mile,
while the Oregon Telephone and Tele-
graph Company obtained five per cent
reduction. In personal property the as
sessed valuation of horses and mules was
reduced twenty per cent. Railroad roll
ing stock was increased three per cent.
The changes made by the state board
necessitates a great deal of work to be
done by the efficient force in the clerks
Office, and Clerk Kelsay and Deputies
Bolton and Gilbert will have their
hands full making the ordered changes
and carrying out the extensions.

| offender has been discharged. The costs
to the county have been large, with no
resultant good. Expenses are heavy
enough already without having them
needlessly increased.
" A freight train, numbering fifty cars,
from UmatiIla, arrived in The Dalles
last evening. The cara contained wheat
which was shipped from near Pendleton.
Two engines in charge of Engineers
Earhart and Patty pulled the train.
This year is seeing longer trains run
over the road than previous seasons and
as result, the number of men in the en-
ploy of the company is lessened. When
two trains can be combined into one
considerable expense of labor is lessened.
There are several engineers in The Dalles
who have been working on the road a
good many years, but this season are out
of employment owing to the reason
stated.
Friday evening the Excelsior club will
give a grand ball in the armory. The
masquerade costumes for the dancers
arrived last night and are now on exhi-
bition in the old CHRONICLE building
and are of late design and elegant make.
The Excelsior club is one of the most re-
cent social organizations of the town. It
is composed of young gentlemen who be-
lieve in enjoying life and making their
friends do the same. Its officers are
president, G II Brown; vice president.
A N Varney; secretary, Glen o Allen;
treasurer, S L Thurman. The executive
committee, in whose hands are placed
the arrangemementsf for the Friday even
ing masquerade, consists of L Thur
man, A N Varney, George H Dufur,
Glen 70 Allen, R A Spivey and G III
Brown. The membership of the club is
quite large.
A meeting of the vestry of st. Paul's
Episcopal church was held last evening
at which arrangements were made for
the temporary supply of the church.
The members of the vestry, who at
tenden the meeting were L. S. Davis, ].
T. Peters, w. n. Lochhead, Fred. Bron-
sen and D. w. Vause. When the SUBJ
ject of securing rector came before the
vestrymen it was decided that an ar
rangement be made whereby Rev. J. N.
Goss should occupy the pulpit for two
Sundays in each month, the time of the
rector, between the consecutive SER
wees to be spent in The Dalles. This
arrangement will undoubtedly give satis-
faction to the members of the church
and congregation. Some repairs were
also ordered made TO the church. Mr..
Goss has preached twice in ST. Psul's
church and the expression regarding
him is quite favorable.

were chosen: I. G. Nickelsen, John
Melquist, Hans Hansen, Mr.. Brown, L
P. Ostlund and G. Weigle. When the
trustees had been elected it was unani-
mously decided that Rev. L. Grey be
asked to take the pastorate of the
church. Mr.. Grey expressed his pleas
ure at this action and promised to ac-
cept the call, provided his church in
Oregon City gave him leave. The trust
ees were empowered to draw up articles
of Incorporation and make inquiries con-
cerning a suitable site for the erection
of church edlfice. Next Sunday an
other meeting of the members will be
held.

Lutheran Church Organized.

Last evening large number of peo-
pie interested in the formation of Luz
theran church, met in the First Baptist
church and took up the work of the adj
journed meeting week ago. The re-
port of the committee which had been
appointed to solicit membship showed
that sixty-two names were on the roll.
Before the evening was over that num-
Der was increased to sixty-eight. A bal
lot was then taken to select council of
trustees, and the following gentlemen
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1896-01-08

Work will be begun at once, taking up
the planking and making repairs where
needed. A large force of men will be
kept steadily at work and the eound of
mallet and chisel will break the stiffness
of the air at Hungry Harbor. The in
terror of the boat will be cleaned and
painted while the hull and outside is
being cared for.
No word has been received from Hon.
D. P. Thompson explaining why be did
not fulfill his engagement to lecture in
The Dalles last evening, but as today's
Oregonian contains report of a lecture
Mr.. Thompson delivered in Portland, it
is probable a confusion of dates is to
blame for the non-fulfillment of the en-
gagement here.
Mr.. F. II. Rowe of Klickitat is in
town today and is happy over the rise
of water in that stream, as it insures
him plenty of logs for his mill. The low
water of the past season has prevented
him from making a successful drive, but
there is lots of it now, and he assures us
that Klickitat pine will be plenty in the
future.
Another train of ctwenty-eight loads
left The Dalles last night for Portland,
and was followed by train of the same
number of cars this morning. Both
trains were compelled to "double up''
before reaching Rowena. The first
train of this length which left The
Dalles yesterday morning arrived in
Portland two hours late. The company
is determined, however, that the en-
gines shall do the work, and long trains
will be the rule from now on.
Seventy four coyote and wildcat
scalps were received at the county clerks
Office today. They were sent in by the
Stockman's Union of Antelope. A
bounty of 81 is paid by the county court
for each scalp, and as the Stockmen's
Union has also offered similar bounty,
scalps taken in Antelope precinct are
worth 50 apiece. The union pays the
party bringing scalp 50 and then re-
ceives 81 rebate from the county. Pre-
vious to today sixty scalps had been
brought to the county clerks Office.
County court began its regular session
this afternoon. Judge Blakeley, county
Commissioners Blowers and Darneille,
and County Clerk Kelsay were in attend
ance, while the judges big dog, Guy, as
sisted in lending dignity to the opening
of court. The session. this month will
encounter plenty of work, as a great
many reports of road supervisors will
come up for auditing. It is not probable
that the tax levy will be made at this
term of court. as the returns from the
state equalization board were only re-
ceiyed today.
A writ of habeas corpus was sued out
before Judge Bradshaw yesterday after
noon and Patsy Griffin, who had been
sent up from the Cascades because of
some difficulty concerning the payment
of his road tex, was given his liberty.
There must be something wrong with
the way things are run at the Locks in
regard to the collection of road taxes, as
this makes the second case of where a
man has been sent to The Dalles for
failure to pay and each time the alleged

the people holding it had made up their

with vague idea probably that when
they got the.e they might do something.
Suddenly an enormous crowd began to
pour out of the square down Parliament
street--a black, solid, muddy mass, for

with sort of irresistible force, which
really frightened one looking ON as a

was to find this artist-like another

did not know what they wanted to do.
