BONDS DEFEATED,
TAXPAYERS SUFFER.
About Eighteen Votes Short of the
Necessary Two
thirds.
THE VOTERS VERY INDIFFERENT.
Ninety-One Failures to Vote in the City.
Twenty-One Negative Votes
Cast.

The bond issue was defeated yester-
day. Eighteen voters defeated the
Will of $50.
The indifference of few voters who
failed to go to the polls and express
themselves, will cost each taxpayer in
the county just double the amount of
his present tax assessment.
The total registered vote of the
county for this election was 536. Two
thirds of this number is 35S, ana this
number of affirmative votes was neces-
sary to authorize the issue of bonds.
Brunswick gave 332 affirmative votes
-26 short of the number required.
The county precincts, with their vote,
on close estimate made last night by
Chairman James S. Wright, of the
county commissioners, will reduce the
deficiency to IS. Thus the bond issue
is defeated, and, as THE TIMES has
given fair and ample notice, the
double tax Will doubtless result.
The election in Brunswick was
quiet. Considerable apathy, hard to
understand, was shown by the citi-
zens, and many did not seem to care
how the election went. Judge r. L.
Hitch and Messrs. G. L. Parker and
Bob Gaskins were managers of the
Brunswick election.

Astoria is taking up contribution
to advertise that town in the East.
1t is expected several thousand dol
lars will be expended in this way.
The plan of flooding the country
with printed matter has been tried
at various times by all the Oregon
towns with Indifferent success. The
Dalles has had it's turn and will prob
ably be called upon again. The
best way to attract attention is to do
something which will be noticed
among the class of men whose con
sideration is worth having. If this
town were to have a wooden mill es-
tablished in it, it would be the best
advertisement it could obtain. Just
as the wooden factory at Pendleton
has pushed that place forward, so it
would at The Dalles, only in larger
degree, for our advantages are so
manifestly more than Pendleton's S
that the results would be greater.

The government, according to the
resolution which passed the senate
yesterday, will spend $25O,Ooo ID
sending food to the miners at Daw-
son City. 1t seems generally con-
ceded that this is the proper thing to
do, yet in the end it would have
proved cheaper to have subsidized
the steamship companies that worked
up the rush of last simmer, and thus
kept the adventures at home. Next
winter will have sorrier tale to tell
than this. Through the strenuous
advertising and urging of the steam
ship companies, aided by the agents
of the various railroads leading to
the coasts, an immense crowd of peo-
pie will probably be IN Alaska by
the end of the summer. Many Of
them are improvident by nature,
and the force of circumstances will
hinder proper preparation. Scattered
along the frozen valleys of Alaska,
they will be objects of pity when
winters lcck is put upon the coun-
try. But the transportation compa-
nies will have made their money out
of it, and the government forced to
again step IN and aid. Not all that
ghtters is gold, especially along the
banks of the Klondike.

SATURDAY DECEMBER IS, 1897
IT'S RECORD FOR rwELV VF YEARS

In the house Tuesday Mr.. Barrett,
Republican, of Massachusetts, de-
clarcd that the civil service law was
a Republican measure, passed by Re
publican votes, and that the party
was irrevocably committed to the
policy of civil service reform.
Proof Of this statement is found In
the national platform of that party.
.'The civil service law was placed on
the statute book by the Republican
party" declared the platform of 1896,
<,w hich has always sustained it, and
we renew our repeated declarations
that it shall be thoroughly and hon
estly enforced and extended where
ever practicable. :"
Yet in the face of that declaration,
says the Spokcsman-R Review, Repub-
lican spoilsmen are asserting upon
the floor of the house of representa-
tives that it never was the intention
to extend the civil service beyond a
narrow and inefficient range.
The people will not be gulled.
They well know the motive which
spurs the spoilsmen on in their fierce
attack on civil service reform. The
fight is made by spoils politicians
like Senator Wilson, who care moth
ing for party principle or party dec
larations. If they can break down
the civil service, they will be able to
appease IN part the angry clamor of
supporters whom they have deceived
with promises of place. Hence their
active onslaught upon the law.

Another Injunction Suit.

For some time past the City Council
has been endeayoring TO get side
walk laid on the north side of ST..
Clair street from Front to Second
streets The walk is already laid
except in front of the Schneider proper
ty known as the old brewery. In front
of this property is cellar entrance
which encroaches on the sidewalk and
which is source of trouble. Recently
the City Council ordered the City Com
missioner to lay the walk and charge
the expense to the property. Mr.. Best
made his preparations for the work,
but the owners of the property objected
to the removal of the cellar entrance
and have secured an attorney. An
injunction suit will no doubt follow tc
establish the legal rights of all parties
interested.

y very curious species of fish which
lives on dry land for ten months i'm the
year was recently discovered by Or.
Suard in the Moro district of the French
Soudan. some 500 miles from the coast
This fish belongs to the family ofS;-
luri, and very much resembles the
Clarias. 1t lives in the marshes whiC!;
are formed during the two months Of
rainy season in that zone, and after
that time it hides in holes i'm the
ground. which the fish leaves at nigh.
tu search for its food, consisting mainly
OF milIet seed. DIR. Suard named this
fish the Clarias Lazera, and describe
its appearance. which differs from the
Siluri mainly in the number of barbS.
of which the newly-discovered has
eight, all of which are strongly dc
velopcd. This species differs from the
african mudfish, Trosopteras. in that :;
does not close itself up in Il capsule dur
ing the hot and dry season. like the
latter fish. which remains in condi-
tion of semi-catalepsy during summer.
The Clarias Lazcra only hides during
the hottest hours of the day. and is ort
on dry land every night throughout
