Wednesday s Daily
The weather forecast for tomorrow is
fair and cooler.
The baby show will be held Saturday
afternoon at 3 p. m., instead of 2.
As a sample of good Oregon weather
today is hard to beat. The air feels like
spring.
A deed for property near Dufur from
Milton Sigman to J. N.'Gulliford was
filed for record today.
The Dalles Portland and Astoria Navi
gation company have just purchased a
large safe for their head office in this
city.
The Dalles has followed the lead of La
Grande and organized a commercial and
athletic club, with a charter member
ship of 125. La Grande Chronicle.
' Until farther notice the steamer Keg'
ulator will leave ber wharf for the Cas
cades at 8 a. m., instead of 7 as now.
lhis will be a great convenience to
travelers.
Four cars of hogs and two cars of cat
tie from Elgin and four cars of hog9
from Weiser passed through The Dalles
this morning. The cattle went to Port
land and the hogs to Trontdale.
A bill was introduced in the senate
yesterday granting Capt. John W. Lewis
of this city $521 in addition to his salary
as regipter at The Dalles land office from
April 17, 1890, to July 7th of the same
year.
The Dalles is sometimes deliberate in
starting upon a venture, but when it
once starts it does it in no half-way
manner. This city is going to have the
finest commercial and athletic club in
WO" DLttbC, UUWIUO Ul f UriiHUU.' ' J. lit
rapidity with which the large sum asked
for has been raised, shows that times
in The Dalles cannot be called hard.
A most distressing accident happened
yesterday at the Cascade Locks by
which a man lost his life. A charge
from a blast was put in, which proved
heavier than was anticipated and the
rocks scattered a great distance. One of
them struck a man on the head, injur
ing him so badly that he -died. We
were unaoie to learn nis name.
.The crosswalks in some places are a
little improved since yesterday. Some
philanthropists-' have nsed brooms ' to
good effect. The crosswalks are far from
what they should be. however, and in
plain words, are a disgrace to the city. I
Someone has. pertinently asked, .''For
what do we pay taxes if the common
necessity of clean crossings is not pro
vided? ' J '
' An event Which Will be welcomed hv
their many friends, will be the seventh
annual ball given by the German Sing
ing Society Harmony. The members of
the club will spare no pains nor money
to make the affair a pleasant one. The
full orchestra of the Orchestra Union
has been engaged for the occasion and
the ball will be given at the Baldwin
opera house on Saturday, Dec. 21st.
. By the way the ladies of the Congre
gational church and their friends are
working, the bazaar to be given Fri
day and Saturday evenings, will be a
great event. Nothing has been left un
done which could add to the enjoyment
of those who attend. The various booths
will be in charge of young ladies, who
will look their prettiest and from the
multitude of articles which will be dis'
played, everyone will find something to
suit them. It has been several years
since this city has had a fair of the
magnitude of the coming bazaar and the
armory will contain a large crowd on
both evenings.
Captain Frank Turner and wife made
the trip from Portland to The Dalles on
the D. P. & A. N. Co.'s steamers. Cap
tain Turner is the inventer of the fam
ous Tnrner stearing gear, which is one
of the most useful patents concerning
navigation. The steamer Dalles Citv is
supplied with the Turner gear and, al
though the Regulator, as yet, is steared
in the old-fashioned way, it is likely
patent gear will be put on this winter
The Turner steam and the Gates hy
draulic gears are in general use upon the
large Columbia river steamers and rep
resent one ot the great advances in
steamboating. Capt. and Mrs. Turner
greatly enjoyed their trip to The Dalles
The "smoker" given by the iodge of
Woodmen last night was a great social
success. The hall was crowded with a
large number of members and invited
guests, who entered with great zest into
the pleasures of the evening. There
was a delightful informality about the
gathering which made everyone feel at
ease. Cards were part of the program
while conversation and different forms
of impromptu amusements filled out the
remainder. Some verv good speeches
were made by Dr. O. D. Doane, John
Michell and C. L. Phillips. The gentle
men spoke of the great good which the
order had done, and extolled the protec
tion which the lodge afforded its mem'
bers. The guests remained till a late
boar and departed after having spent
a very pleasant evening.
The attention of the circuit court has
been occupied yesterday and today with
the case of Strickland vs. Buchler. The
action is one to recover personal prop
erty, which had been attached in a suit
against T. J. Strickland. The constable
attached the well-thown racing mare,
as being the property of Mrs. Strickland,
Mrs. Strickland now comes in and claims
the property; The case is being tried
before a jury consisting of S. L. Brooks,
R. F. Gibons, John Filloon, John Robin
son, S. M. Funk, John Rigg, Charles F.
Stephens, J. Wakefield, Wm. Young,
J. L. Thompson and . W. H. .Jones,
Dufur & Menefee appear for Mr. Buchler
while Story & Gates are Mrs. Strict
land's attorneys, .bight witnesses were
examined for the plaintiff and : fourteen
for the defense. The arguments were
concluded this afternoon and the case
has gone to the jury. ;
The latter part ot the month will be a
very busy one socially. Three swell
dances will be given, which the elite of
the town will attend. The first on the
list is the ball to be given by the Gesang
Verein society on Saturday, December
21st. The members oi the society are
famous as entertainers, and are making
great preparations for this, their seventh
annual ball. Next in older follows th
dance to be given by the militia in the
armory. The arrangements are being
made for a brilliant affair, and will take
place about Christmas time. On New
Year's day the Columbia Hose company
will entertain their friends with a dance
that promises to vie with the others in
completeness. Aa these events come eo
close together, there will undoubtedly
be great rivalry, and the pleasure-loving
people of the town will have no cause to
complain for lack of social festivity. -Thursday's
Dally
The Home Dramatic Club have re
ceived a proposal to repeat the perform
ance of "A Night Off" in Goldendale.
Jnlius Wiley is having a tussle with a
toothache of the most diabolical sort.
Just at present the toothache has the
best of it.
Now that the performance of the
Dramatic Club is over, the people are
invited to attend the bazaar next Friday
and Saturday evenings at the armory.
The condition of Mr. Balch, who is
reported sick at Dufur, is no better, and
Dr. Logan was sent for in haste this
morning to attend him. His friends are
anxious lest bis recovery is not certain.
At the close of the performance at the
Baldwin last night the members of the
group had their photographs taken by
flashlight. Mr. Herrin did the work,
and the actors and actresses looked
their best.
Sheriff Driver returned from Salem
last night and today went back with
Tom Lewis, who goes to serve a three
years' sentence in the penitentiary for
bay burning. R. A. McDonald was also
taken' to Salem.
For the first time in a long while the
connty jail is empty. The prisoners have
been taken to the penitentiary or dis
charged, till now the doors are unlocked.
Jailer FiizGerald's responsibility will be
greatly lessened.
ine case ot Mamie Strickland vs.
August Buchler went to the jury yester
day afternoon and after a short delibera
Hon, a verdict wae returned in favor of
the defendant. The case .was warmly
contested and the jury an exceptionally
good one.
The friends in The Dalles of Herman
Heppner will be sorry to learn that he
is quite sick at bis home in Portland.
H had an attack of typhoid fever some
time since, from which he has not fully
recovered. Mr. Heppner for many years
lived in The Dalles and has many friends
who will hope for his speedy recovery
The approach to the new Regulator
warehouse . is being completed, and
when this job is done the. undertaking
will be finished. The building of the
warehouse has caused the distribution
of a great deal of moi ey in The Dalles
and added "much to the commercial ap
pearance of the ci ty.
William Rasmus, who was in The
Dalles last summer, and with local as
sistance, gave a performance of. Damon
and Pythias, is now in Portland, where
he is engaged in the same work. It is
possible - be may return to The Dalles
luring the winter and interest the peo
ple again in theatrical matters.
We are pleased to note a strong move
ment calculated to make The Dalles a
manufacturing center.' ,: With electric
power close at hand, and a country back
of it surpassing that of' Minneapolis. 1
The Dalles possesses ' advantages over
any other point in the Pacific Northwest
tfr manufacturing industries. Moro
Observer.
R. A. McDonald, who plead guilty to
the charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon, was sentenced by Judge Brad
shaw to one year in the penitentiary.
McDonald is the man who figured in the
shooting scrape last summer in which
James Hagin was wounded. McDonald
got off much lighter than he probably
expected. He was taken to Salem this
afternoon. There is one thing to be
said in his favor, he saved the county
from an expensive trial and made his
conviction eur'e. '
The armory is the scene of busy ac
tivity today. Carpenters are busy erect
ing the framework for booths. Great
loads of evergreen are being brought to
the hall for decorative purposes, while
the. deft fingers of the ladies are arrang
ing the various displays in ways that
will please the most. : The candy booth
will be stocked full of good things.
Christmas trees will be for sale in the
Gypsy camp. By tomorrow the appear
ance of .the armory will be greatly
changed. Only 10 cents will be charged
lor admission.
Mr. J. B Crossen has disposed of his
grocery store to Mr. Cahler of Hardman
Morrow county, who has chosen. The
Dalles as the best place for investment.
lnere has been quite an immigration
from Morrow conntv to The Dalles, as
Mr. Cahler makes the third gentleman
who has come to this place from that
county and engaged in business in The
Dalles. The others are W. A. Johnson
who bought out H. H. Campbell's gro
cery 6tore and B. A. Hunsaker, who is
the successor to H. Moses & Co. It is
rather a peculiar thing that they ehould
an enter the grocery business.
The members of St. Vincent society
wish to thank those who assisted in
making the performance last evening
the success it was, and they feel especi
ally indebted to Manager Birgfeld and
tne Orchestra Union for furnishing thf
hall and music free of charge; also they
wish . to thank for courtesies extended

Club has already been expressed.
borne txi eriments in well boring 'n
high .ltitu tea h..ve been in progress
near The Dalles for some time, ana ilie
results are very satisfactory. A six-
inch bore has been at work on John
Wagonblasl's farm, three miles from
town, and has gone to the depth of
120 feet, getting water thirty feet deep
nd assuring a steady supply. A well
ot similar nature is being struck on
Mr. Taylor place in Dry Hollows These
experiments are being watched with a
great deal ot interest by farmers, and
the success that has attended them will
lead others to try the plan.

ular business meeting tomorrow (Friday)
evening in the lecture room of the M. E.

requested to be present.
The ball to be given by the Columbia
Hose Company .will be, in every senee,
a swell event. Tbe bovs have spared
neither money nor labor to make the
occasion one long to be remembered in
the society circles of The Dalles. An
excellent committee has charge of tbe
arrangements and everything will be of
first-class order. The tickets sold will
not be transferable, so every one who
goes will be persona grata to the com
mittee. The hall will be becomingly
decorated, while the music needs no
other commendation when it is said that
the Orchestra Union will furnish it.
Patronize noma Men.
During the past summer and fall there
have been a great many peddlers in The
Dallea disposing of wares which our
local merchants keep for sale. The
class of goods range from medicine to
suspenders and suits of clothes. Every
time anything is bought from these
itinerant peddlers, so much money goes
out of the town. Patronize tbe home
merchants, buy nothing outside of The
Dalles when it is possible to get it in the
town. Our merchants give liberally to
advance the interests of the city; pay
enerous taxes and they ehould receive
the undivided support of ail citizens.
Here are some sensible remarks upon
the same Fubject, taken from the Eu
gene Register :
Yesterday another "outside business"
man arrived in H-ugene. This time It
was in the person of an agent for a
tailoring and shirt firm. He went right
to work with .the usual amoant of gall
characteristic of such . individuals, even
having the audacity to call and attempt
to do -business with the. newspaper pro
prietors, who, he certainly cannot help
knowing, secure their financial gains
from the legitimate business men of the
city tbe men who sell goods, pay taxes,
pay rent and live in this city. With no,
hard feeling' toward the agent person
ally, tbe Register is forced to assert that
when you have a dollar to spend, spend
it with the men who in time will spend
it in your town, thereby advancing the
opertnnities toryou to recover that dol
lar again through the channels of clrctr
lation.
Lector Last Night.
A large crowd assembled in the
Knights of Pythias ball last evening to
listen to the addresses of G. C. Mosier
and W. C. Wright, who had come from
Portland to meet with the junior order
of American Mechanics. Both the
speakers were good talkers and made
clear cut statements of the aims and ob
jects of the order. Mr. MoBier read an
editorial which appeared in a recent is
sue of the Oregonian on the su eject of
raising tbe flag on the public schools and
severelv ecored the writer for his re
marks concerning patriotism. At the
close of Mr. Mosier's speech, Mr.
Wright, who is councillor of George
Washington lodge in Portland, made a'
few remarks concerning the advisability
of instituting a Daughters of Liberty
lodge, which would be an auxiliary to
the Junior order. The addresses, which
were eminently fair in spirit and tone,
werr listened to with a great deal of in-'
terest by , the audience. It is expected
that a Daugh'ers of Liberty lodge will
soon be formed in The Dalles.
