Two Italians, with two bears, one of

California, were upon the. streets today
giving performances. The bears had

lookers on. The owners of the animals
raked in a good many nickles.
It is said an effort is being made to
have the band, composed of members of
the orchestra, enrolled in the Third reg
iment as a regimental band. Such a
move would be a good one and we hope
the arrangement can be consummated.
A band is one of the necessary adjuncts
to a military organization and should
the Dalles musicians become the military
band, the members of the regiment
would be cure of the best of music.
Workmen are engaged in digging
holes on Second street in which will be
placed new poles for the Oregon Tele

Portland and take a look at the Willa
mette valley. One of the party in talk
ing" with a Chrokicl representative

At a meeting of the Home Dramatic
Club held last evening, it was decided to
change the date on which the coming
performance will be given. It is not
known what date will be chosen, but it
will not be far distant in point of time
from the one agreed upon, which was
Thanksgiving eve. The change is made
so that the dramatic performance will
not come so ciose to the concert to be
given in tne uongrvgauonai cnurcn
Thanksijivins night.
The Salvation Army is going to have
a special service tomorrow evening in
their barracks on Front etiect, to which

the members of the army and their
friends.
Mr. George H. Thompson, formerly
clerk of Wasco county, is lying very sick
in Colfax, Wash. His wife is attendant
upon him. Several months ago Mr.
Thompson went to California in tha
hopes of benefiting his health, but since
his return the improvement which for a
time was noticeable has not continued.
His friends hope to hear of a change for
the better.
Mis3 Gertrude Meyers, who for more
than a year has been taking a course in
the training 6chool for nurses in New
York City, will graduate next January
and in April return to Oregon. Miss
Meyers has had great success in the train
ing schools and received frequent promo
tions and notices of merit. The coarse
of study is said to be very severe, but the
opportunities presented for accomplish
ing good are very great.
Fifty new poles are being placed
throughout the city by the Oregon Tele
phone Company. It is the intention of
the company to extend its system to a
much larger scope. The men who are at
work on Second street find the digging
very hard. Several blasts were set off
this morning, the men being unable to
dig through the rock. The Dalles has
the best equipped telephone service of
any city in the Northwest. Two com
plete systems are in operation and the
number of subscribers increasing dailv
From a gentleman in the city from
Sherman county it is learned that that
section was visited with a generous rain
last Friday. The ground was wet to a
considerable distance, but the cold nights
which have intervened .will cause the
ground to dry too quickly. Considerable
fall grain which had been sown has come
up but is not in good condition, having
suffered from the lack of moisture. The
farmers expect to do a good deal of fall
plowing after the expected rains begin.
Mr. W. F. Byars, editor of the Golden
dale Sentinel, drove over to The Dalles
yesterday. Mr. Byars says times are
brightening considerably in Goldendale
and the Klickitat valley. The trade this
fall has been much better than for sev
eral years past and merchants and farm
ers are getting on their leet again after a
tussle with the hard tiuies. Goldendale
supports three newspapers which is a
good recommendation for a town of its
size. The agitation concerning the rail
road continues very brisk and the pro
moters of the enterprise tire earnestly
working for its completion.
The Regulator took a large load of
wheat from this side of the river on her

of the offices in this district. He spent
the morning in The Dalles office, where,

turn to his home in San Francisco. Mr,

The amount of claims against the county

Reports having come from Sherman
county that there, were a lot of geese up
there waiting to be shot, Victor Marden,
George Herbein and Dr. Sturdevant
started last night for the hunting
grounds. They went as far as Qninn's
station on the railroad and will go back-
some distance in the interior. They
took with them 500 cartridges and ex
pect to destroy ail the geese in Sherman
county besides riddling the fence pouts
with shot. The hunters expect to re
turn Monday and fulfil tbe numerous
promises.they have made.
Another car of hydraulic machinery
has arrived at the locks. There are sev
eral more cars now on the wav from the
East. A large force of men are at work
in the canal and the good weather is be
ing turned to good advantage. The con
tractors still maintain their belief that
boats will pass through the canal Major
Post to the contrary. Although the
people of Eastern Oregon are not saying
much regarding the locks they are doing
a great deal of thinking and are keeping
a close watch -upon the pi ogress that is
being made.
The interest which a good many young
men of The Dalles are taking in athletics
is the incentive for several sparring
events. Since the boys have began tak
ing boxing lessons little is heard in their'
conversation but "cross counter," "body
blows," dodging to avoid punishment,"
etc. It' is a common sight to see one
member of tbe class meet another and
immediately strike a defensive attitude,
so great is- the force of habit. Prof.
Christol says the scholars are making
good progress and he doesn't know bat
from the amount of talk' that goes on
that he may have an embryo Corbett or
FitzsimmonB in the class.
County Judge Blakeley appeared in a
new role yesterday. Promptly at 3
o'clock in the afternoon the county court
took a recess and stood in respectful
attitude while the judge proceeded to tie
a nuptial knot. Tbe contracting parties
were Nathaniel Shoukwiler and Mrs.
Alice Yates. The judge went through
the service like it was a thing of every
day occurrence and can any time get a
recommendation from tbe parties who
yesterday were made man and wife.
After the marriage ceremony Commis
sioners Blowers and Darnielle signed as
Witnesses and then the court settled
down to the humdrum routine of allow
ing bills, glad that the afternoon had
been pleasantly broken by a bit of
romaoce.
Flag Presentation.
Several years ago the pupils and
teachers purchased a flag for the Court
street school. On the opening of tbe
schools last September Capt. Waad, of
the Regulator, presented a large flag to
tbe district for the Academy Park school.
On public days of local or national im
portance, these flags above the buildings
add much to the appearance of our city.
Tbe Woman's Relief Corps of The
Dalles has arranged to present each de
partment of the schools a smaller flag to
be used in the daily opening exercises.
This salute is a common custom in many
large schools of the country. As none of
the school rooms are large enough to
hold all the pupils, the presentation ex
ercises will be held at the new armory,
on Friday, Nov. 15th, beginniug at 2 p.
m. Tbe exercises will continue about
one hour and in addition to the formal
presentation of the flags bv the Relief
Corps, there will be patriotic songs, reci
tations, flag drill and other similar exer
cises by the school pupils. The armory
is estimated to seat 1000 to 1200 persons.
All tbe public school pupils in the city
will atssmblo at Academy Park and
Court street schools and march to the
arrporv. Ibis will be the largest gather
ing of school pupils ever seen in Tl e
Dalles, as the schools were last assem
bled in one body on Columbus day, in
October '92, when the number in attend
ance was much smaller than at present.
Tbe Methodist District Conference.
reported that they had examined Samuel
Hornibrook and had found him com
petent and that they recommended that
a license be issued to him. A motion
was made that the district conference be
disbanded and when brought before tbe
members for consideration it caused a
spirited discussion. The pros and cons
were argued vigorously, but when the
motion was put to a vote it was defeated.
Rev. R. C. Motor, presiding elder of this ,
district, read an able paper on "The In
fluence of Methodism." The afternoon :
hours are being taken up with the read
ing of papers and informal discussions.
Rev. U. F. Hawk, pastor of the Meth
odist church in Goldendale, will preach
this evening at 7 :30. Several delegates
arrived in the city last night and are at
tending tbe conference today. The
number of visitors who are present at
the daily sessions is quite large and
those who go find much in the proceed- '
ings to interest them.
A Winter Lecture Coarse.
The meetings of tbe association of

trict are attracting a great deal of inter
est. The confereuce began todav s ses
