It is a pleasure to come down to the dock
in the morning and see the steamer
start away loaded with the products of
these inland counties and in the evening
watch it come to the dock crowded with
merchandise and the ' decks' black with
passengers" The business done by the
D. P. & A. N. Co. this fail is eS'
pecially gratifying. The boat is carrying
large loads of freight and passengers and
there seems to be no imminent diminu
tion in the traffic. Last night the Reg

Several Dalles people who have visited

credit cannot be given Mr. Emil Schanno

the result of his labors was greatly ad

Mr. I. N. Day, one of. the contractors
at the Locks, sends word to the Chron
icle that in all probability Major Post
was misquoted in the interview which
made him say that a year would pass be
fore the locks would be " open for the
passage of boats. Mr. Day repeats the
statement that has been attributed to
him before, that boats would pass
through the canal by March 1st. Ttis is
good news and is what the people of
Eastern Oregon have been longing to
hear. This statement of Mr. Day's can
oe considered authoritive and from in
formation which the Chronicle has re'
ceived through Mr. Gourlay, and other
gentleman who have examined the sit
uation, we have no doubt but that the
long looked for open river will be an
early realization. The contractors have
worked against great difficulties in con
tinuing the work and we have faith that
thev are as anxious for the completion
of the locks as the rest of us are. Some
one has said that it will be a great Day
when the canal is open ; but that is a
vile pun for which the punster should
be pun-ished.

The roof of the mammoth warehouse
of the D. P. & A. N. Co. w-as finished
just in time for the snow to fall upon it.
The structure is now practically com
pleted, the outside work being all done
except part of the tin roofing which re
mains to be put on. Viewed from any
place the warehouse is a huee affair
while to stand on the Regulator dock
and look up at the rows of long piling
and the extensive platform and ware
house the concern looks immense.
There will be room in its capacious in
terior for hundreds of bales of wool and
thousands of sacks of wheat. The three
large warehouses of which The Dalles
can boast, show what an immense for
warding business is done at this point
and an idea can be formed of the steady
stream of money which pqurs into The
Dalles and tributary country in return
for the sale of wool, grain, fruit and
other products. The present year is
proving one of the best in the history of
The Dalles and our merchants expect
next year to be still better.
At St. Mary's Academy.
County Court Adjourned.
A large audience gathered in the con
cert hall of St. Mary's Academy last
evening upon the occasion of the musical
entertainment given by Herr Aaniold,
assisted by Miss Beamer. Those who
attended came prepared to hear some
splendid music, and they were not dis
appointed. Herr Aamold is a violinist of
acknowledged ability, and his execution
last night was wonderful. He plays
with great expression, and in his selec
tidn "The Traumarie," which was given
as an encore, he charmed the audience
by drawing from his instrument the
most beautiful tones. His range o
selections was wide, and he was equally
at home in the different class of pieces.
Miss Beamer gave great satisfaction in
her vocal selections, and was compelled
to respond to hearty encores. Her sing-
ine of "Tirzahs Serenade" from Ben
Hur, was especially pleasing.
The entertainment was of a high or
der throughout, and proved one of the
most attractive ever given in the city
The program was as follows :
