1t was a jolly occasion at the court
house Monday night. wheu every chair
ana most Of the stan1ing room OF TIE
old temple Of justice, the assembly
an Of which is made use Of by The
ity fathers for their deliberations
were filled. All seemed to be in good
cheer. perhaps it was that touch made
by the approach Of Christmas. The
councilmen felt especially good as the
gratifying bids for ,he construction OF
the new system began to roll in. The
estimated cost Of the municipal water
plant was cut by several thousand dol
lars and the plant will be made larger
and more adequate than the council
had hopes Of bringing about with the
funds available.

PLINY'S COUNTRY HOMES.
The Famous Roman Loved the Luxu.

.Pllny gives us a minute and loving
picture of his country homes-of Como
where he was born and which he loved
with the tenderness of Cowper:
Scenes that soothed
And charmed me young. no longer young

Still soothing and Of power to charm me

most interesting of these deal with

because they held outlandsh beliefs,

a Vicious Fish,

In South America there is small
fish that not only attacks its fellows
of the sea and river but is greatly
dreaded by the natives. who during
certain seasons have to ford the
streams in which the carbitos are
found Bathers are often attacked by
them, the sharp. chisel shaped teeth
taking q bit from the flesh wherever
they attack. They are perfect scaven-
gers, eating the animals that float
down the river-dead or alive.

PROGRESS MADE
ON BIG CANAL

During the past year the crews Of
J men working under the supervision OF
the United States government, on The
Dalles-CeIilo canal have been made g
great headway. Many Hood River
people have visited the scene of opera
tions this fall and have been impressed
by the marked progress of the work.
The upper portion of the big waterway
that will make the Colubmia navigable
around the whirling' rapids of the
daIles is almost completed. The most
difficult task on the big work is the
excavation for and the construction Of
the Tandem Locks at the lower end of
the project The cut through solid
rock here is over so feet deep.
All who are connected with the canal
hope to see the government make such
an appropriation that the work can be
pushed as rapidly as possible. James
H. Polhemus, whose wedding to Miss
W'unifred Wilson recently occurred at
The Dalles, is chief assistant to Capt.
H. H Roberts, the United States en-
gineer in charge.

ington, Capt. Roberts in bis report tC
congress has asked for a heavy appro-
priation to hurry the work:

Chickasha, Okla
Dear Sir
Your letter ia Mondays Express pur-
porting to reply to mine Of an earlier
date pettifogs the question had said
nothing about the July docket OF the
county court In my April letter, but
charged that ever since the establish
ment Of the superior court, eighteen
months previous, the criminal busi-
ness that ought to heard in the
county court was being heard in enc
superior court at a greater expense to
the taxpayers. The fact that you aid
moe discover this condition of affairs
iuntil the July docket was published,
three months after my letter does not
justify the theft Of my argument.
In your letter you do not attempt
to explain my charge that yc-l are in
no position to eensure Judge Williams,
inasmueh as you supported him two
years ago when the issue was sharply
drawn on the question Of the proper
enforcement Of the whisky laws the
very question that resulted in the talk
ing Of the business from the county

now, complain In this connection 1t
will also be interesting to have you ex-
plain why in the campaign two years
ago you supported the proposed
amendment to strike prohibition from
the constitution? And why do you in
certain places critieise me for having
fought that measure? Does not your
stand on these two questions prove
conclusively that you hold exactly the
same opinions as Williams in regard
to the enforcement Of the whisky
laws?
While we arc in the question bust
