Last Sunday Rev. T. H. Hazel, of the
' Christian church, announced to his con

Practically all the wheat in the ware
houses hss been sold, and the roads

rise in wheat will not be of much bene
fit to this immediate community, as

posea oi.
Mr. H. Kaseberg, a prominent farmer
. r i . . .
oi ouerman county, was in the citv

. tices of appointment to the road super
visors who were selected at the last term

however, is very seldom 'bothered with
declinations these days.
The settlers on the north side of the
Columbia, between The Dalles and Cas
cades, are anxious for the Regulator to
resume-her regular trips. As the steam
boat is their only communication with
the outride, the settlers ieel the incon
venience of the bont'a withdrawal. The
Regulator will be ready for service by
the middle of February, and regular
trips will begin some time between that
date and the first of the following month.
In a notice in yesterday's Chronicle
a mistake was made, which was amus
ing, but not harmful. In sneaking of
Effiie Ellsler's performance in Portland
of "As You Like It" and the Orego
nian's write-up of her performance,
things got mixed and the criticism of
"Camille" followed the caption of "As
You Like It." But as the, mistake was
extensively noticed and attention there
by called to the coming performance of
Miss Ellsler, the interests of the pi
received a better advertisement.
The committee of the Commercial
Club trustees which has in charge the

lar to that in the Multnomah Athletic
Club of Portland., Work will be begu
upon the active construction of the alley
very ehortly.
There promises to be a large attend
ance at the Baldwin' this week when
Effie Ellsler and her company will ap
pear. Manager Birgfeld has made
laudable effort in securing -a high gradi
attraction, and the house will be crowd
ed both evenings. The people of The
Dalles appreciate' good acting, and for
this reason the pieces presented by the
Ellsler company cannot fail to please,
The dancing class of Miss Anna
Moore will begin tomorrow evening at
8 o'clock in the Chrysanthemum hall

be from 8 to 10. Miss Moore has "just

acauainted herself with ail the latest
dances.
Articles of incorporation were" filed
with the county clerk today by the
Mosier Mercantile Co. This is a con

do whatever else is necessarv to the
proper conducting of a country store
Amos Root, R. E. Hardwick and George
Sellinger are the incorporators, the capi

We learned today that

For the .past week daily shipments of
sturgeon have been made through the

but of late tfiey have come into favor
and-find a ready sale in the Eastern

A rousing meeting of the Antelope
Republican club was held laBt Saturday
Delegates were chosen to the state con
vention of clubs as follows: Wilbur
Bolton, C B Durbin, E M Shntt, M E

president; E M Shutt, secretary; AM
Kircheiner, treasurer; J T Bennett,
sergeant-at-arms. The club is in pros
perous condition, there being 91 names
on the membership roll. .
In arranging a schedule embracing to
many dates as are in the lecture course,
it was impossible but that some changes
would cccur making a necessity for re
adjustment. Such a change is necessary
ou the next date printed ou the season
tickets, Feb. 4th. The lecture for that
evening, will have to be postponed un
til the 18th. . The following lecture will
be given on the 25th. The, remaining
ones we hope will take place on the dates
as given on the tickets.
A gentleman np from Cascade Locks
yesterday, said he could see no reason
why the work could not be advanced to
such a stage by the first of March as to
permit of the passage of boats. The
secretary of the Commercial club has
written to Capt. Gray, of the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce saying that The
Dalles would send a committee to meet
the delegation from Astoria any time
agreeable to the latter, and make such in
quiry regarding the completion as would
satisfy them, whether or not boats will
pass through at the time stated. If this
event happens on March 1st, a month is
not too long a time for the making of
preliminary' arrangements.
The dispatches . yesterday say that
Senator Mitchell has introduced a bill
appropriating $5000, in - addition to the
amount already appropriated, for the
construction and equipment of a boat
railway between The Dalles and Celilo.
There must be some mistake in the
figures quoted, as $5000 would be a mere
bagatelle in a work of this magnitude
not a sufficient sum to occupy the atten
tion of the eenate.long. It is probable
that $50,000 is the amount asked for.
The surveys have', already been made by
the engineering corps, and whatever
amount now appropriated would be for
the actual work, of construction. The
bill, which we assume is for a larger J
amount, will not pass without strong op
position, and the Oregon delegation will
have an opportunity of showing what
influence it possesses in the halls of
congress.

Commissioner Darnielle, who was in
town' today, brings word that the voter's
of the district near Boyd have voted a
twenty-five mill tax for school purposes
this year. The meeting was attended
by twenty voters, and Mr. Darnielle's
motion to the above effect received
ghteen. votes.. The proposal Is' to
build a two-room schoolhouse at Boyd at
probable cost of $600. The amount of
taxable property in the district is $25,-
400. The voting of a twenty -five mill
school tax, added to the twenty-one
mills already levied, makes forty-six
mills, which the people of the district
near Boyd will have to pay. They are
determined however, to have a good
school for their children.
Mr. W. B. Davison of Dtica, Illinois,
arrived in The Dalles this morning
Mr. Davison is interested in the Ochoco
Mining Company, a corporation owning
some valuable mining properties near
Prineville. In company with two other
gentlemen, one a mining engineer and
the other a millwright, Mr. Davison is
on his way to Prineville, where he will
at once begin the development of the
company s mines.- The gentleman ex
presses himself greatly pleased with the
appearance of The Dalles, and from
what information he could gather dor
ing the day, stated as his opinion that
our city. has many of the elements for
growth. Mr. Davison has been engaged
in manufacturing in the East, and saw
at once the advantages in this respect
possessed by The Dalles. He was sur
prised to find that clothing, boots, shoes,
etc., could be purchased here just as
cheap as in Illinois a fact which lpal
conditions, such as competitive freeht
rates through the agency of the Ti-f &
A. N. Co., has brought about. Mr. Da
vison expe'ets to ' leave tomorrow for
Prineville. '

Mr. Emil Schanno, who is a member
of the State Board of Horticulture, has
been investigating the subject of a means
to exterminate the San Jose scale and
aphis. This inquiry has led to the be
lief that the remedy printed below will
prove efficacious ' in destroying this
enemy of the fruit men. The wash is a
preparation to be used in winter time,
and it should be applied dunng the
next two months. The formula is as
follows: ,
The following formulae and directions
if properly carried out, will produce an
effective solution for San Jose scale and
aphis.
50 lbs. Lime. . '
50 lbs. Sulpher.
50 lbs. of Stock Salt.
This-will make 150 gallons of wash.
Directions Slack 25 lbs. of lime, then
add the 50 lbs, of sulpher, boil It over a
brisk fire for one hour, then slack the
remaining 25 lbs. of lime, then place all
the salt with it in the boiler and boil for
fifteen minutes more, then add the nec
essary amount of water to make 150 gal
lons. - This solution should be used at a tem
perature of at least 100 degrees. Before
using' strain it. This is an excellent
winter wash for fruit trees.
The utility of this wash depends a
great deal upon the strength of the sul
phur. It is therefore recommended that
those who use this wash have a Resu
mes scale for acid. When it shows eight
degrees when cold, it is of the proper
strength. These scales can be obtained
through any druggists, at a cost not to
exceed fifty cents.
Hon. J. P. Thompson's Lecture.
Every seat in the Congregational
church was occupied last evening, the
large audience being gathered to listen
to the lecture of Hon. D. P. Thompson
upon "The Holy Places of Palestine."
Mr. Thompson has spoken in The Dalles
before, and the assemblage of people who
greeted him last evening showed the
appreciation in which he is held as a
lecturer.
In a few well-chosen words Mr. J.
M." Patterson introduced the speaker of
the evening,' Mr. Thompson prefaced
his remarks by saying that what he was
going to say was more in the nature of a
"talk" than a lecture, as it consisted of
personal observations, and was not eccy-r-clopedic
in nature. He began by briefly
describing the trip on the Mediterranean,
down the shore of Palestine, psBt the
once opulent cities of Tyre and Sidon.
now little more ttan a memory, their
harbors full of sand. Mr. Thompson
and his party landed first at Yafa the
port in ancient days called Jaffa. Her
the steamer was left and the travelers
began their journey through Palestine,
visiting the most famous of its holy
places. Mr. Thompson in his address
made apt quotations from biblical lore,
and connected the places he was de
scribing with the events narrated in the
Old and New Testament. His remarks
about Jerusalem were especially inter
esting, and some touches of humor now
and then added to the pleasure of the
audience.
Few ineri have the happy gift of nar
rative telling like that possessed by Mr.
Thompson, and the close attention given
by the audience was the best mark of
appreciation. Among his hearers were
a number of high school students, Prof.
Gavin having wisely recommended them. .
to attend.
The lecture was one of the most inter
esting ever given in the city, and the
ladies of the chursh who arranged the
course, and the audience who listened to
his words, feel very grateful to Mr.
Thomp?on for the trouble he took to
give them a pleasant evening.
The contract for building the bowling;
alley in the Commercial and Athletic
Club, was awarded yesterday to Mr.
Hugh Glenn. The plans and specifica
tions, which were prepared by an archi
tect in Portland, provide for the building;
of a double alley similar to that in the
Multnomah Athletic Club. Work will
not be begun until next week, as the
materials are yet to be selected. The
brick wall near which the allev is to be
built received a thorough soaking at the
time of the fire last summer, and still
contains a great deal of moisture, which
has caused a great deal of inconvenience
in the re-fitt.iug of the building. For
this reason the alley could not have been,
begun sooner. Those who bave exam
ined the plans and who have inspected
the alley at the Multnomah club, and
who are competent to judge, say that
the alley, when done, will be complete
in every particular, and the members of
the club will have everv opportunity fcj
