Fraternity names and organizations I am not familiar with. Advertisements placed in the newspaper were coded for easy identification in later issues. The Dalles Daily Chronicle, Wednesday, January 7, 1891. LOCAL BREVITIES page Three Last Sunday the Congregational Sunday school elected R.S. Huntington superintendent; A.R. Thompson assistant superintendent; Miss Etta Story secretary; Norman Wilson treasurer; Mr. C.J. Crandall musical director; Miss Grace Crandall organist and Miss Iva Brooks pianist, with Mrs. J.B. Condon superintendent primary department. Mr. W. McD. Lewis today took the contract for digging the ditch and bringing the water from Clear creek to the Oak Grove (Oregon) country. This ditch was begun by the Oak Grove and Juniper Flat Ditch company. The completion of this ditch will make this one of the best sections of Wasco county, and the fact that Mr. McD. Lewis has taken the contract is a sufficient guaranty that it will be done. Mr. W. McD. Lewis arrived in from Wapinitia (Oregon) Tuesday evening, on his way to Portland and thence to Salem. He informs us that there has been more rain in the country around Wapinitia than between that place and The Dalles. He has made a proposition to the Wapinitia folks to complete the Clear lake ditch, and it is probable arrangements will be made by which the work will be done in the spring. It would be of immense benefit to three or four townships, and should be completed as soon as possible. PROBATE COURT In the matter of the estate of Daniel Bolton, deceased. Hearing of final account, ordered and adjudged that the administration of said estate be allowed to be closed, and said estate fully settled. In the matter of the estate of W.H.
