Mr. Schanno is eminently qualified to fill the position as a memtier of the state hoard of horticulture as he takes a great interest in that branch of Oregon's in dustry. The farmers in the vicinity of The Dalles do not seem to be discouraged by this year's low price of wheat and are preparing for a larger acreage than ever. Extreme w ill in all liklihood be followed by extreme, and the price for the next year's product may reach a higher figure than for many years.

It is learned today that Mr. Bork failed to connect with the train at Pendleton and so did not speak Saturday night in The Dalles. Gov. renuoyer has addressed an open letter to President Cleveland. In it he sets forth that this Christmas is the first in the history of Oregon that two thirds of its people are out of employ ment and more than one-third w ithout sufficient means for their support.

Promptly at the ushering in of the day our Saviour w:s born the choir began the lieautiful chants and sung them in an acceptable manner. The mast at Christina i one of the most im pressive In the calendar of Catholic fes tivities. The Congrej.ttion.il church wjs beau tifully decorated f.ir the Christmas time. The choir and chancel were entwined with evergreens, while iMiqueis of fresh flowers made a pretty contrast and showed the mildness of our climate. Mr. Curtis preached both morning and evening, but in the evening were the Christmas services. Tlio-e who have heard Mr. Curtis regularly speak in high praise of his sermon Sunday evening. It lias uever tieeti the privilege of the writer to hear a lietter one. The choir, consisting of Mrs. Huntington, Miss Schmidt, Dr. Doane, Dr. Botkin, Balfe Johnson, Ed. G. Patterson, and Vine Phelps sang a Christmas anthem in their usual pleasing manner. Alto gether the service was very pleasing. Christmas was celebrated Sunday morning at the Methodist church. Mr. Whisler preached an interesting, in structive and appropriate sermon, which was listened to with marked attention. The choir, consisting of Mrs. Bradehaw, j Miss Bose Michell, Mrs. Boer, Messrs. Allaway, Parrot and MaGee, Fang a lieautiful antheai. The church was tastefully decorated. The concert in the evening by the choir and Sunday school wbs a complete success in every way. Recitations and sinking, solos and choruses, made np the program. One piece was especially good. A class of girls, trained by Miss Myrtle Michell, sang a selection, the Misses Stone eing ing the duet, Jsupported in tbs chorus by the rest of the class. Every one ex pressed their pleasure at the enecees of the entertainment. lha Moir Slide. The slide which occurred Saturday morning below Moier was quite exten sive, rough estimate placing it at IOC feet long by ten deep. The freicht train which ran into it was traveling at the rate of about ten milles per hour. If it had been going at full speed the entire train would have followed the engine into the ditch. As it w as, the locomotive is almost a total wreck and four freight cars were wrecked. The balance of the train kept the track, and were not in jured. Engineer Whipple jumped be fore the train met the obstruction, while Fireman Lienhart and Brakeman Coates staid with the engine, the tender of which doubled and shut like a knife, all rolling to the bottom of a 50-font em bankment. By some miracle they es caped unhurt. Some of the otherwise empty box cars contained a number of tramps w ho were waled in the cars, and when the remainder of the train was pulled back into Mosier they broke the doors and resumed their journey to Portland on foot. As many men as it was possible to secure were kept busily employed at the slide all day and night. An accommodation train left The Dalles at 3 o'clock Saturday, which made a transfer of passengers and Sunday morn ing the track wag again in readiness for the passage of trains. The loss to the railroad companv will be in the neighborhood of 25,000. The wrecking crew is still at work at the scene of the accident, and arrangements were made to hoist the wrecked engine at noon to day. A Flrc-FigbtlnB Dog. Jim Flaherty of Mosier has a dog to which fear is an unknown quantity. It is not renowned for ita pugnacity, thoiiirh of the bull doa persuasion, but for his fire-fighting qualities. He has the same natural enmity against nre that a cat has against water, except that Tim (the dog) w ill fight it heroically. Jfa piece of burning paper is dropped he will assail it with teeth and paws with great vim, and a burn in the mouth makes him onlv the madder. He will put out a cigar every time the burning butt is thrown away, and will not cease attacking it until it quits smoking. The last Fourth of July the fireworks were entirely spoiled by Tim. He fought the piu wheels, chased the sky rocket?, and would pick up whole bunches of fire crackers in his mouth, holding them there until they quit exploding. Flah erty it Co. use Tim as a night w atchman in the store against incendiaries. Donation Modal. Saturday evenimt the members of the M lethodist Sunday school had a dona- tion ocial. Each member brought niiething to give to the oor. Some brought flour, others potatoes, and still tiers brought other eatables and clotti- ig. It is a most appropriate thing to istil in the minds of little children at it is "more blessed to give than to receive," and Christmas will be happier to them in thus show ing unselfishness than it would be if they were possessed with the idea that Christinas was an institution out of w hich as many things j weie to he received as possible, ami en- tirely neglect the factor of giving. The ! supplies given by the school were placed I in the hni.iis of a committee of distrihu j tion consisting of Mrs. D. M. French, 1 Mrs. Bills, Mis. Willerton, Mrs. Fowler, ' Misses Ursula Kuch and Nell Michell. lh Hraiirti Aylum. 1 he hoard appointed to examine the siies f..r tlie branch asylum in Eastern J Oregon has completed iln labors, finish j ing up with The Dalles Wednesday. What their report will be cannot of course be told, but w e feel that an hon est one w ill be in favor of Tlie D tlles. The Dalles has the most equable climate of any iioint in Eastern Oregon. It has the finest site in the state. It has an abundance of water under suffi cient pressure to afford perfect protec tion against fire. Fuel is cheaper than at any of the other places, and spring conies earlier than anywhere in the state. Besides these advantages, it is the nearest and most convenient place for the class of patients that will be sent to it; for the intention is not to supply a place for the insane of Eastern Oregon, but for those of the western portion of the state. The change of cli mate is the thing desired, and The Dalles has every advantage in furnish ing the proper climate at the smallest expenditure for transportation. The interest of the unfortunate ones, as well as the interest of the state demand the location of tha branch asylum at The Dalles. Hood Kiver Glacier. PERSONAL MENTION. SHturdnj-. Mrs. V. H.

A wreck ing train went down this morning as soon after receipt of the news as possible. MITCHELL NEWS. Weather warm with some rain. The grippe is the prevailing ailment at present. Some cases are quite serious as the writer has cause to know. The prospects for Santa Claus are limited, since the people of Mitchell do not intend to prepare a Christmas tree for his accommodation. Mr. Mulverhill, of Summit Prairie, was in town one day this week and re ports weather not cold and but little mow in that place. James Harrison passed through town yesterday on his way home, on Beaver creek, from Dufur where he has been to be treated for cancer. The treatment was unsuccessful and without hope, ex cept to see his family he is going home. Preparations are being made to solemn ize the nuptials of Gorden Showen and Miss Linville on Christmas eve. Miss Linville came from Portland a few months since to teach the Shoe Fly school, but finding that tedious, she de clines a second term of thedistrict school for a permanent school of one scholar. December the 8th Mrs. Straub, w ife of Emile Straub, died at her home at Tub Spriags. She left an infant son but a few hours old. Mrs. Straub came here some years Bince with her uncle, John Fapianna. She has grown from child hood to womanhood at that place and among her small circle of friends she was sincerely admired for her real worth. All grieve for her as a valued neighbor and a kind friend that has passed be yond their reach. To repeat the words of a dear friend, "We miss her so much." E. V. E. Mitchell, Or., Dec. 21, 1S93. Literary Note. The second edition of the December world's fair Cosmopolitan brings the to tal up to the extraordinary figure of 400, 000 copies, an unprecedented result in the history of magazines. Four hundred thousand copies 200 tons ninety-four million pages enough to fill 200 wagons with 2,000 pound each in a single line, in close order, this would be a file of wagons mere than a mile and a half long. This means not leas than 2,000,- : 000 readers, scattered throughout every tow n and village In the United States. The course of The Cosmopolitan for the past twelve months may be compared to that of a rolling snowball; more sub scribers mean more money spent in buy ing the best articles and best illustra tions in the world ; better illustrations and better articles mean more subscrib ers, and so the two things are acting and reacting upon each other until it seems probable that the day is not far distant when the magazine publisher will be able to give so excellent an arti cle that it will claim the attention of every intelligent reader in the country. Mh. Editor: I would like to thank the people of The Dalles who have been so kind to me and my family in our sick ness and for kindly assistance to us. We came here strangers ; knew no one except two families that came from the eame town that I came from, therefore did not expect anyone to take an interest in our welfare, but I was surprised to see the people come in and olfer to help in any way they could. I am a poor man. Have to earn our living by work ing, but ask God to reward all for their kindness and sympathy to my family. Jamkh A. Bhoiv.v, The Dalles, Or., Dec. 25, 18.3. Aunual Hesnloo.) The state teachers' association meets this year on December 20th, ami will be in session three days. Heretofore the meetings have been held in the summer time, but owing to the absence of so many teachers at the world's fair this year it was decided to postpone the meeting until December. The fare to teachers has Ijeen reduced to one and one-fifth fare and tho hotels will also extend cut rates. For a sore throat there is nothing better than a flannel handle dampened with Chamlierluin' Pain Balm. It will nearly always effect cure in one night's time.
