"a The Seattle city council bears clos
C. resemblance to an Oregon legislature
S, elect a mayor. but the effort has re
\. suited in solid deadlock after abou
= 1GO ballots have been taken.
y The Baker City Democrat undertake:
- to give that city a boost by stating
that there are 50 telephones i n use in
the city. The Dalies telephone ser
vice consists of over 400 phones, and
still we don't boast about it.
Probably when the Portland mer-
chants arrive here Monday afternoon
they will not find brass band and a
committee of citizens with outstretched
arms to receive them. The Dalles re-
members the past, and remem bers it
vlvidly.
Mrs. NJ. E. Briggs returned home
last evening from Chehalis, Wash,
where she has been with her lietle boy.
Teddy. The little boy is NUN i'm
, proved, aod when Mrs. Briggs left
Chehalis yesterday was conside cred out
of danger.
Farmers have smiles all over their
: faces on account of the copious showers
that are falling at present. They are
sufficient to wet the ground so that
plowing can be begun everywhere,
which is an assurance that there will
be big crop in 1898.
At present Marshal Lauer is kept
quite busy repairing cross walks and
sewers, on which he is doing excellent
work, and at the same time gets an oc-
casional spare moment in which to
keep hobos OH the move, warning them
to shake the mud of The Dalles off
their feet.
Mrs. E. M. Ford, wife of Engineer
Ford, of the Sumpter Valley railway,
!: wss severely burned Tuesday night at
Baker City, by the explosion of a lamp,
and died Wednesday evening. A d
year-old child carried baby out of the |
house and saved it from similar fate
| of that OF the mother.
While l1eg AMI half of dynamite |
was being thawed out at TelOcaset, |
Union county, Wednesday morning, it |
took fire and exploded with terrific
force. The explosion was heard at
Union, six miles distant. a caboose
on the railroad track 30 feet away was
wrecked. Several persons were in the
car, but no one was fatally hurt.
Evidently the outside world has
heard that The Dalles is prosperous,
for every conceivable class of fakir has
visited the city within the past month.
The last to arrive was 4 paddler of can
ary birds who appeared cn the streets
yesterday with lot of "beautiful sing
ers" that he is desirous OF exchanging
for cash. Probably the next to come
will have pews in heaven for sale.
Yesterday afternoon James Morrell
was given an examination before JUS
tice Filloon on charge OF robbery,
and was held in bonds of $500 to appear
before the next grand jury. He has
not yet furnished bail and is still in Gus
tody of the sheriff. 1t is claimed that
on Tuesday night Morrell invited
man to his room in the Union street
lodging house, and relieved him of
about $25 in cash.
At Biggs about 10 o'clock last night,
G. B. McGrude, brakeman in the en-
ploy of the o. r. & N, fell between
two ears and sustained serious injuries
of the back and hips. He was brought
here for, treatment with DR.. Logan,
and the doctor had him taken to the s
Portland hospital on No. this morn
ing. McGrude's injuries are quite i
severe, and it will be some time before t
he fully RECEIVERS. e
The Portland wholesalers who have .
been hobnobbing in the cities east of
here as far as Boise, will arrive in The
Dalles Monday at $3.50 P. M. What
kind of reception they will receive
is problematical. AS a rule The
Dalles does not feel disposed to extend
the "glad hand" to Portland mer-
chants after having been ignored for !
the past quarter of a century, and in g
will not exert any extra q
efforts to entertain them now, espec- +
tally since having been given such i
cold shake last Sunday. u
This forenoon the time of the circuit L
court was taken up selecting jury in I
the case of the state vs. Jacob Prahl, t
indicted for manslaughter for having a
shot and killed Dan Maloney last t
August. Twenty-Five talesmen were u
examined in the selection of the follow a
ing jurors: Geo. Cooper, W. B. Rod p
man, M. V. Rand, H. o. Bateham, t.
Frank Abernathy, Geo. Ashby, M. p
Hans Lage, D. J. Cooper, i
W. G Obrist, G. W. Miller and W. b
Fl. Rodenhiser. District attorney h
Jayne is assisted in the prosecution by j
Hon. z. z. Dufur and Judge Bennett s
Is conducting the defense.
