One of the coming social events OF
the season is ball to be given by

An effort is being made by the
bondsmen and friends of Howell and
Ward, says an Astoria paper, to settle
the latter's shortage in the county's
funds. A full statement of the firms
financial condition is being prepared,
and it is probable that at the meeting
of the county court some proposition
for making good the delinquency will
be submitted by the bondsmen.
The city council has certainly exer-
cised good business sagacity in accept
ing the bid of the Parrott-Lannenberg
Co. for lighting the city. Few cities
on the coast get their lights at such a
rate, and as no city can afford to be in
darkness, The Dalles can be congrat-
ulated upon having been able to con-
tract for so lights at 81, 600 a year, or
at the rate of $40 per light, little less
than double the price of an arc light
for month.
The horse cannery at Linnton is fur
nishing market for considerable
number of cayuses from Eastern Ore
gon and Washington, and will in time

of useless stock. Today consign-

from The Dalles to Linnron. They
were lot of white-eyed, worthless
ponies from the Warm Spring reserva-
ton, which the Indians had no use for
hence they turned them off for "beef." "
