Justice Davis has decided upon a new
procedure in dealing out justice in his
court. Heretofore it has oftentimes
been the case that matters arising in
other precincts were brought for settle
ment in The Dalles district, causing
much annoyance and expense. The jus
tice has now made the rule that here
after no petty criminal business will be
entertained by him except those which
occur in this district. Hereafter no at
tention will be paid to these com
plaints unless they come upon a change
of venoe from the precinct in which the
caose of trooble arises. This decision of
the justice is a wise one, and will help
to reduce the costs to taxpayers.

The snow storm, which struck The
Dalles yesterday, did not extend further
than five miles in the country south of
here. From that point to Bakeoven the
ground is said to be frozen, which will
seriously interfere with farming pursuits
Yesterday farmers between here and
5-Mile did not stop from plowing be
cause of the snow. A few warm days
just now would please the farmers very
much.

cember 30th. The boat will then be tied

settlers along the river are laying in
their winter tupplies, the Regulator
carrying large loads of groceries, flou
and other necessaries to way landings
every day.

The Dalles to Troutdale today. They

tle, as their carcasses will be displayed

ern Oregon stock, there being 102 cattle
in the buncb; with an average weight of
1337 pounds. Monroe Grimes bought
them from Messrs. Kelly and Kuney
who have been feeding the cattle during
the fall. Portland people will have
some good meat to eat when these ani
mals reach them.
The painters are at work on the rooms
to be occupied by the Commercial and
Athletic Club. The plastering is all
done, and, with the aid of the large
stoves, is rapidly drying. The papering
in one of the social rooms is nearly done.
The trustees held a meeting yesterday
afternoon, and conferred with the agent
of Mr. Grant regarding some changes in
the interior of the building partitions
to be put in and similar modifications.
The details will be settled today, and
then the furnishings for the rooms will
be ordered.: From the way work is now
being pushed it is believed the social
rooms will be ready tor occupancy, ov
the first of the year, though the bowling
alley will not be completed, nor the
gymnasium fitted up till some days
later. The trustees are working in har
mony, and everything augurs well for
the success of the club.
The Prise Babies.
The baby show Saturday afternoon at'
traded a large crowd of spectators. The
babies were numbered, and as the judges
were comparative strangers their names
were not known to those . who awarded
the prizes. The little tots all looked
sweet and it was no easy task to decide
which was the prettiest. After much
deliberation, the committee came to a
conclusion, and the results showed the
following to be mothers of prize winners :
Mrs. J. A. Douthit, Mrs. R. E. Haworth,
Mrs. J. M. Gallagher and Mrs. G. J.
Ross. The twins of Mrs.' Smart also
awarded a prize. '

The armory was a thing of beauty last
evening. In every nook and corner was
found something to delight the eye.
The different booths, gaily trimmed and
decorated, themselves made a beautiful
sight, while the various displays called
forth repeated expressions of admiration.
It was a good-natured crowd of people
that paid their admission last evening.
They came to enjoy themselves and help
along a good cause. From the hour
whenthe doors opened till they closed
the hall was crowded with ladies and
gentlemen young and old who spent
the time merrily chatting with one an
other, or pausing now and then before
some booth where beautiful ladies be
witcbingly presided. The whole affair
was most successfully planned and car
ried out. The stage was a forest of
young firs, in which a gypsy camp was
located. Here the fortunes were told,
and the goddesses of the future dealt out
the words of prophecy to many inquir
era. On the floor were various booths
representing the months of the year.
Any attempt to describe their different
merits being impossible to anyone not
gifted with language . beyond the com
mon. It is safe to say a prettier dis
play was never made in The Dalles.
From the peals of laughter and ani
mated conversation observed, everyone
seemed to be enjoying themselves to the
fullest measure. The ice cream stand,
the refreshment booths, the place where
candy was dispensed, were at all times
surrounded by crowds of people, while
the ladies who sold fancy work and
flowers were kept busy supplying the
demands.
The program was very entertaining,
consisting of a vocal selection, well ren
dered, by Mrs. Huntington and Mrs.
Varney; a recitation by Alice Price,
which was received with great favor,
the little miss proving herself a reciter
of much ability. Mrs. Truman Butler
favored the audience with a well-played
piano solo, as also did Miss Georgia
Sampson.
A "great deal of interest centered
around the voting booth, where ballots
were being cast for the most popular
young lady. There were .several con
testants for . this honor, and the parti
sans of each were very active. The re
sult will not be announced till this
evening, but at the close of last night's
voting Miss Grace Glenn was in the
lead. A large number of votes will
probably be cast tonight.
The bazaar Is proving a great success,
and tonight will see the large hall
crowded. The ladies have worked un
selfishly for a good purposes, and their
efforts should be rewarded to the utter
most. -Following is the program for
this evening:
Instrumental Dnet

Latest About the Robbery.
Further details concerning the robbery
at Antelope are received in a letter to a
gentleman in The Dalles. The robbers
opened the front door of the building
with an iron bar. Some of the tools
used came from Peter's shop. Both tills
were broken open and the nickels wers
all taken. The knob on the safe was
twisted off with a large wrench and the
safe blown open. The money taken be
longed to different parties The Ladies
Aid Society cf Antelope, losing over $60.
This loss is exceptionally unfortunate, as
the ladies bad worked hard to acquire
this sum and intended applying it to
charitable uses in the near future. Sev
eral private deposits were also included
in the amount taken. Some notes, bills
and warrants were also in the safe, but
were untouched. The latest informa
tion says there is, as yet, no clue to the
perpetrators of the deed.
Latkb More recent word Bays the
men suspected of committing the rob
bery have been captured and brought to
Antelope. The hearing was set for 11
o'clock this morning.
Stevenson, the new town situated op
posite the Cascade Locks, is making
steady improvements. Last spring the
citizens at that place built a new dock
at which the Regulator should land.
The dock proved to be all right except at
a low stage of water, when the boat was
nuable to land conveniently. A meet
ing of citizens has been called for De
cember 19th, for the purpose of raising
funds and securing pledges of work to
carry the dock out to deeper water, bo
that the Regulator can use it for a land
ing place at all stages. When the dock
was built it was thought it would do for
a long while, but the extreme low water
has taught differently. Plans are ar
ranged for securing the requisite money
and the citizens of the town and vicinity
will contribute work. Although but
young in years, Stevenson is the county
seat of Skamania county and is the out
let for a rich, country, though unsettled
as yet.
