Mama, brightly "If the present weather continues he will come aa usual with the rain dear. We understand one of our energetic citizens will soon put a steam scow on the river for the purpose of supplying thia city with firewood. At the same time quite a local trade will bo picked up, and the steam scow may be, we hope is, the, nucleus of a line of steamers. It ia nrobable the present cloudy ' weather will hot leave us until we have had a gennine old-fashioned rain storm. Tne country needs it and we hope will get it in its -stocking for a Christmas present. ''" ' T' ' The engineers who examined the river for a location for a bridge, decided on a " point near the Wasco warehouse as the most available place for this end, the other striking the bank just below the ravine which shows in the upper beach. It is very probable that this bridge will be built in 1891. ; It looks very much as .though we were : , to have a repetition of the winter of two . years ago. South of us there has been but little rainfall not enough to make plowing possible. 'The skies are over cast with rain clouds, but they seem to ""have dropped all their moisture on the . another side of the Cascade range. , , We would call the attention of the readers of the Ciiko.viclb to the home ' market report which appears in this issue.

The Christmas services at the Method ist church Wednesday evening were largely attended and a most enjoyable time experienced by those present. ' The services consisted of singing by the choir and prayer by Eev. H. Brown, followed by an interesting and entertaining pro gramme of singing and recitations by the little folks, after which came the distri bution of thepresents,' .which loaded a large and1 handsomely decorated 'tree. The distribution of presents was attended to amid many exclamations of delight and susprise from the younger portion of the audience. Nearly every one present receiving some token of friendship, or kindly remembrance, which will mark the evening for some time to come, as a bright spot in the past and one that will be remembered. for Help on the TygU Mountain Huad. We, the undersigned would respect fully represent to your Honorable body that we are resident citizens of the State of Oregon, and have personal knowledge of the facts hereinafter mentioned. That the only wagon .road leading from Oregon" City, ia Clackamas county and Portland in Multnomah '.county, to The Dalles, in Wasco county, passes over what is known as Tyeh mountain about twenty-seven miles south of . The Dalles, and between The Dalles, and Tygh Valley;- that the grade up said mountain as heretofore laid out, and used, is very steep, narrow and difficult to travel ; and in places passes over ledges of rocks and boulders," so much so that it is extremely dangerous in going down the grade and impossible for loaded teams to go up the grade at all. . Several persona have already been killed by their teams getting off from said old grade, in going down said mountain, their horses killed or crippled and their wagons and freight broken to pieces and ruined. Said road is the most direct, and" ex cept as to mat part ot it passing over said Tygh mountain, is much the easiest and most feasible route from The Dalles to Prineville and the tributary country, and if a good grade was constructed over said mountain, it would shorten the distance between said, places about 25 miles and be of great public benefit and utility and of especial importance to the people of Clackamas, Multnomah, Wasco, Crook Sherman and other conn ties in eastern Oregon. " - : ' T That during the summer of 1890 the the county court of Wasco comnty, di rected a view and. survey across said mountain divide, and on a route which follows op a. long canon to the west of said old grade, and the viewers ap pointed to make such examination and view with the county surveyor, reported that a good, safe and easy grade could be made on the new route that would enable heavily loaded teams to pass eas ily and safely over, both-ways, but in the opinion of competient judges it would cost $10,000 to construct such grade, and that a good grade could be constructed for said sum. That for several miles along said old grade and said proposed new grade the country is unsettled and . the J, cost of building Baid new grade renders it im possible for any road district to build the same, and the county of Wasco is hardly able to": undertake, " alone, the construction'' of said new grade at so great an expense ; and also in view of the fact that the people of several conn ties are directly interested in a good road' over said mountain. Wherefore your petitioners pray your Honorable Body to appropriate the sum of $10,000 from the state funds, to be used in the construction of the proposed new grade over, said Tygh mountain. An Attempt at Suicide. - - Henry Deerhake is lying in one of the rooms over Skibbe's restaurant with a bullet hole in his right breast, and pistol bullet lodged, : probably near his backbone. The wound was self inflicted and while he claims the shooting was accidental, all the circumstances sur rounding the case force one to the con clusion that it was-suicidal. He had an eight-horse team loaded with, freight for Prineville, ' but it . is said indulged in Christmas ; festivities ' which- included gambling, rather more than he ought to have done. -. His team was at Brooks & Beers,' and about 4 :00 o'clock Wednes day evening he entered their store and asked Mr. Beers if he had fed the team Mr. Beers told him, that as he had not made his appearance in the morning, he had the team fed at 9 :00 o'clock,' Deer- hake asked him if he could have them fed again that night to which Mr. Beers made some remark about taking care of it himself instead of running around, but upon Deerhake 1 insisting told him he would have the team, taken care of Deerhaker went out, but . stopped in the door and said, "The team is good for its feed isn't it?" Mr. Beers told him it was and he went out , and around to the corral. ' Between 4 and ' 5 O'clock Mr. Beers and another man went, out to feed the team.' : Mr. Beers thought he heard a "groan, , but not -peeing "'anyone paid, no attention to it. Hearing it again he looked' under the shed at the near end of the buildmg,-and seeing some object (it was getting quite dark) examined it to find that it was Deer hake. To his inquiries Deerhake at first made no reply, but finally said, "I have"" shot '.myself." Mr.-. Beers went after alight and Mr. Williams, the firm bookkeeper, went after a doctor. . Being asked if it was an accident he made ' no reply but finally said: "I was taking the pistol . from "my vest: t. I , had it - in, my hand.". His coat is powder burned and shows - that ; the shot was fired from the out side -of it, and contradicts hia story of taking it from his vest.) The bullet entered about' an inch below and the same, distance back of the right nipple.-; Mri Beers' found the pistol "empty, and Durhaker told him he fired the . balance of the shots through' the roof of the shed, which he did as four bullet holes are visible. The w ound is a daugerous one the chances of hia recovery- being very; slim.- Messrs Brooks & Beers liad his wagons unloaded at such places as the goods are 'shipped fronl." "His conversation' indicates .very clearly that it was an attempt at suicide, and one that .will in all probability be successful.1 - - . .. y- - The Congregational Xmas Tree. . The Christmas exercises of the Con gregational church consisted of a tree at the -church on' Wednesday night. The exercises consisted of the reading of a "election by Mrs. . Curtis, followed bv the-- beautiful singing of a Christmas carol by Mrs. Rinehart's class, 'after which Assistant Superintendent B. S. Huntington in a pleasing address pre sented a handsome diamond ring to Mr. Herman, Ernstthe basso of the.choir, as a token of appreciation by the congrega tion. A song followed by Miss Hill's class after which the doors to the vestry were thrown open, disclosing two beauti ful Christmas trees handsomely, decor ated in the regulation manner, .Mrs. E. M.. Wilson acted as the 'presiding Bpirit, and read the children a letter which presented a happy inspiration. The presents, which were numerous were then given out ' and the- children separated to dream of well filled stock ings at home. It ia reported that mere are to be several marriages in ' high Hfe- iri - the near future. , .'.-." day the pastor took his text from Isaiah 11 : 6, "A litttle child shall lead them Supposed reference to the prevalence of the Messiaric kingdom, which shall be an era of peace and righteousness. when the sword and the spear shall be replaced by implements of: husbandry and enterprise. Steven hundred years after the word of prophecy was re affirmed with angellic voices declaring the birth of the -Messiah and proclaim ing "Glory be to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Not yet has this good time come, not yet do we see violence and selfishness re placed by the rule of right and love the supremacy of the moral and spiritual elements.. But for all that we are not of those who believe that the world is go ing. God is at work with the nations and with men, building from thej foun dations, first that which is natural and afterward that which is spiritnal. At the time of the redeemer, to all in tents and purposes, modern Europe had no existence." Spain, " France, Russia and Austria were sunk in barbarism Brittain, almost as completely as this country, was below the horizon. Egypt and Syria were sinking fast. The power of the world lay in Italy Greece and Palestine. The power of Palestine was in moral and spiritual element which was to give law and power to the world. She herself has gone under but the power of her civilization asserts itself in every nation that has ascendency in modern civilization. The power of the world ia in Christian bands (nominally so at least, giving pledge and prophecy of the complete control of right and love. The time may be far off but it ia com ing. More and more the light is appear ing ; the day is becoming broader and fuller. That ia the kind of power which is to rule. . The text tells us also of the kind of character which is to prevail in the com' ing age the child character, in which, if you will analyze it, you will discover among others, these elements : First, Innocence; . it is this which makes it necessary that to enter the kingdom of God we must become as little children. The task of the child ia to retain its innocence; the man must regain it. ; It is no arbitrary requirement but of such is the kingdom ; that is the rule of God in the earth and universe. Second: The spirit of childhood is a spirit of faith trust in father, mother, friend, God. The religion of childhood and youth is to keep this spirit. When the man haa lost it he can only enter the kingdom of God and become a part of it by retaining the faith of. his child hood. It must be so and thus his child spirit becomes his guide: "A little child shall lead them." Thirh More definitely may it be said that God develops the moral and spirit ual life of the world . through the child ren. We teach the children but they teach us full as much and more than we teach them, for it is through them that we learn the real meaning of the great word we use in our religion, parent, love and self sacrifice. Back of the industries of the world is the force of the love we bear our children. One of the greatest of English barristers is said to have remarked that he never pleaded a case without feeling his children tugging at his coat tails, meaning, I suppose, that their support and education and qualifi cation for position and usefulness in the world was an ever present thought and stimulus to him. Behold how this love new born in the woman, who but a year or two ago was a thoughtless belle, transforms her into a very providence of God for the . help less babe on her bosom. See, too, how with men who seein to have no other thoughts the day and the week through but business ; the thought of the little child rules them.. Often will such stop in the very midst of the most ' pressing work to tell of the bright-eyed beauty at home, or with tearful eye and trembling voice of the little boy that died, and heaven is more real and nearer because of him. , "A little Child shall lead them." Let us seek the happiness of all about us but let our hearts be turned as they will, especially to the children as we come to the day we love, be of its asso ciation with the advent of Him who was born in Bethlehem of Judea. While we seek to lead the children aright and fill their lives with joy, they will as surely lead us and minister to our larger and better life. . - - Business transactions have been light during' the past week save in holiday goods, which has been large for The Dalles for the season. Money seems to be tight, probably for the reason there has been so many failures in the East during the past autumn. Large bank ing institutions as well as manufactories have gone to the wall, and undoubtedly the closing down influence is being felt on the Pacific coast in our financial cen ters. Fortunately our people are not in distressed circumstances and the pinch ing will only affect the more venture some.

Renun ciation." - .. ' ' " Text 'Tor ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich." Eom. VIII 9. The work of human redemption by Jesus Christ has no parallel in history or fiction'. In Arnold's poem, "The Light of Asia" the Prince Gautma, is represented voluntarily renouncing crown and throne and scepter that he might go out among the poor and the destitute, to mitigate their sufferings, and help them to a better and a happier life. - But this story of poetic fiction bears but a faint resemblance to the story of the cross." Swift's story of a country where the horses were rational beings, suggests a possible parallel. '. Suppose a horse, or, say a toad, endowed with a rational na ture, as man is; then let a king step down from his throne, lay aside sceptre and crown, divest himself of his human form, and voluntarily become a toad, and you have an illustration of the act of Jesus to which our text refers.
