The projecting masses of stone and

than sufficient to cover the entire

feet high and two feet thick.

THE idea is a good one, but as the
budget for this year ia already made
up, it is hardly feasible to put is in
force until another season. Our pre-
ference would be for the good roads
project to go hand in hand with good
school houses. In other words, we
favor a 5-nill tax, say three years, to
be applied to the building of good
roads and good school houses in all
parts of the parish. The constitution
gives us the right to do this by a
vote of the people, and we favor pc
titioning the police jury to order an
election on the subject, SO as to get
the will Of the people in time to put

Editor C0ifar Chronicle:
AsGrant parish resources are being
rapidly developed by the construc.
ton of railroads. humber manufacto.
ries, ETC.. and as a result church and
school buildings are being erected
would 1t not be well for our citizens
TO advocate and encourage improve
mentS on the public roads?
Inc state constitution Of 1898 pro-
vides for the construction and MAIN
tanning of public roads and bridges,
Dy a per capita and vehicle tax, and
the appropriation of not less than
one mill of the general tax. Our no.
lice jury made an effort to keep up
the public roads and bridges on the
plan provided, but found the amount
Of revenues to be realized from the
sources designated was Inadequate
to the requirements of the roads and
bridges, and the project was aban-
dOned for the time being.
l see that Ouachita parish has yot-
ed a o-mill tax for the Improvement
Of public roads. How would it do
Tor Grant to do likewise? We think
now is the time for Grant to make
permanent Improvements on the pub
lie roads. We find a rough estimate
of the revenues to be derived from the
sources referred to, is as follows:
Per capita tax OF $1....... $4,000
Tax ON vehicles. cles............. 500
One mill ON gen'l assessment. l,5O0

G. A. r. and W. L. C.

Candy post held good meeting last
Saturday. The boys we're in a remi-
niscent mood, and L. d. Blount, Chas.
B. Prathar, D. H. Clough, L. Henry, I.
J. Cunning and E. d. Calkins gave
sketches of their army experience. L..
Henry told of how he stood on the bat
tlefeids Of Wilson Creek and Pea Ridge
and was not afraid. He went on to tell
of other battles in which he took part,
and where, like all good soldiers, he was
battle scared. Like the old man who
was with Grant--before the war-it
turned out that Comrade Henry stood
on the battlefelds of Wilson Creek and
Pea Ridge year and q half after the
battles were fought. Comrade Prathar
complained that the acoustics OF the
hall were so bad he couldn't hear well
enough to catch the drift of some OF the
comrades remarks. Adjutant Cunning
was unkind enough to remark that 1T
was the comrades good fortune If he
couldn't hear it all. The commander
said the adjutant had laid himself open
to court martial. 1t is likely charges
will be preferred by some OF the quiet
members.
After adjournment the members OF
the post we're invited into the hall OF the

Ice House Burned.

The big ice house u mile west of town
burned to the ground Tuesday night. 1t
is thought the fire originated from
sparks thrown out by the engine of the
IL :42 p. m. passenger train, or that IT
started from q camp fire tramps had
made on the inside. The night watch
man on the O. r. Il N. work train at the
depot first discovered the blaze and set
the whistle of his engine to shrieking.
Several members of the X. OF 2. lodge
remaining late at the hall saw the blaze,
and thinking it was the armory, started
up the street giving the alarm, Many
people were around and started for the
scene of the fire. Will Graham, Bert
Stranahan, Judge Prather and several
others from the K. of P. hall were the
first there. The fire had enveloped
everything by this time and the walls Of
the building were falling in. The en-
CINE room, containing lot of valuable
ice tools, was soon ignited and the con-
tents destroyed, The ice house was
empty and was soon total loss. Be-
tween the two main buildings were
about twenty carts and scrapers belong
ing to the railroad construction gang,
and these the boys managed to save by
running them over the bank to the river.
The ice house belonged to the Holmes
Ice Co. of Portland and was valued at
SO 900, with good insurance. 1t was
erected in 1887 by Capt. Lombard OF
Portland. The place has long been Q

Supposed Drowning.

A sailboat containing John Dye and,
it is supposed, Bob Hogan, was swamped
in the Columbia river opposite Under
woods landing, Monday night. Dye
was rescued, but it is almost certain
that his partner, Hogan, was drowned.
1t was lust at dusk and Amos Under
wood was aroused from his house by
continued cries of distress He had
crossed the river himself shortly before
and had seen Dye and Hogan max
ing ready for sail from the Hood River
side. Rushing out to point of vantage,
he could distinguish capsized sailboat
appearing on the crests of the waves as
it f1oated with the strong current. I'm
derwood hurried to his sailboat and put
out to the rescue by himself, against a
strong up-wind. About the same time,
the men at Mclntire's logging camp on
the Knapp place. on the Washington
side Of the river discovered the dis
tressed boatman. Frank Reeves ran a
mile down the beach to his skiff and put
out for the swamped boat. He soon
met with the boat and took on board
John DYE, who was clinging to the bot
tom Of his capsized craft. Dye was
more dead than alive at the time, and
Reeves, to whom he was stranger,
4 could get no information from him. lie
was taken to Thornton's house on the
Knapp place where he stayed all night
and the next morning set out for his
home at the mouth of the Little White
Salmon. Amos Underwood reached the
scene few minutes after Dye was res
cued, and was told by Reeves anc
| Thornton that they had taken off a mar
from the capsized sailboat he was pur
suing. As it was about IL O'Clock, Tn
! derwood returned to his home, and
learned the next morning from the mel
at the logging camp who the rescuei
man was.
/ Although Dye told nothing OF th'
accident, it seems almost certain that h'
was accompanied by Bob Hogan at th'
time and as he (Hogan) has not beel
seen or heard of since, he must hav'
met death in the waters OF the Colum
bia. Amos Underwood saw the tw'
men putting out for sail as he was cross
ing the river that evening. Both mel
had been drinking heavily that after
noon, and how the affair really happen
ed no one knows.
Bob Hogan was a man without fam
ily, who has been living along the Col
unbia river for the past thirty years
at times working on scows and at woo'
camps. He worked for the Underwoo'
Bros. when they operated wood scows
