The river has been at a standstill for
the past twenty-four hours. Late news
from the upper river is that the Snake
has fallen eight inches, and the Upper
Columbia raised fonr inches. It is now
the general impression that the river
has nearly or quite attained its height
for the season.

o'clock, with lunch baskets, and from

The sliding mountain near Bonne
ville is again causing the O. R. & N.
much trouble. The river washing un
derneath has caused the land on which
the road is built to slide toward the
river. By great exertion on tne part oi
a large force of men, traffic has so far
been comparatively uninterrupted.
Tickets for "Past Redemption" are
selling at a lively rate and good seats
will soon be scarce. The entertainment
is given for the purpose of meeting the
expenses of the grand lodge, and the
ball will be filled by onr home people
and the visitors. The play itself is very
strong, and we understand the cast is
enthusiastic concerning its merits.
There is a chance that the McCoy
laborers are to be paid for their month's
work. Mr. McCoy requested the sheriff
to conduct him to Portland yesterday,
proiuisinj to make an effort to secure
the money.; The ditch men have worked
nearly two months. They were paid at
the end of the fraction of the first month,
but were not paid at the end of the
second month, an aggregate sum of
about 12.2007 Th s tbey insist upon

afternoon, and waiting tut its owner
walked down to the D. P. & A. N. Co
wharf, allowed the wind to waft it from
his head to the broad bosom of the Co

soaked his bat.

The Hood River strawberry crop is
still backward about ripening. Wednes
day night something over 100 crates were
shipped to Montana. Prices in the
Montana market remain good for Hood
River berries. At Butte they bave been
selling for $7 a crate. In some early lo
calities the crop was injured by the frost
and cold rains, but on the whole, the crop
is better than for several years. The
prospect is considered good for prices
ruling as high as' they did last year
throughout the season. .

ELLIS A SAFE WINNER.
Be Will Again 'Be Cospcumu
' the Second District.
W. R. Ellis has emerged from the
clonds of uncertainty and it is now certain
that be will again be congressman from
Oregon for the eeeond district. His re
election has been made ante lv the re
turns from Grant. Malheur and Union
counties. The vote, which ib sufficient
ly complete to prevent the result from
being changed by the few counties in
which scattering precincts bave not been
heard from, is: Ellis, 12,212; Qir.nn,
11,581.
In the first district a few votes either I
way will decide whether Tongue or Vn-
derburg will go to Washington. The
correction of errors discovered in the
count has so changed the totals that
Vanderburgis now -only 38 votes ahead.
the returns so far being : Vanderburg,
19,156; Tongue, 19,113. These figures,
however, do not include Carry county,
where Tongue is reported to have a ma
jority of 105 votes, which would change
Vanderburg's plurality of 143 to 38, - or
wipe it out altogether, in case the ma
jority in Curry should not turn out to be
a plurality.
Tongue's principal gains have been
made in Lane and Linn, and Vander
burg has lost in Clackamas.

County Clerk Kelsay has shipped four
tons of peas to Montana, receiving an
average of $100 per ton. He will have
another ton for. shipment. The peas
planted in February did better than
those planted in the fall.
Attorney. J. L. Story, who has been
converted to the Populist faith, believes
that Vanderberg was legally elected in
the First disrict, but gives it up regard
ing the Ellis-Quinn contest. He be
lieves an effort is being made to count
Vanderberg out, and predicts if that is
done the state will go Populist by 5,000
majority in Novemlier.

The Rose Display.
Those whose expectations were raised
to the highest, when they received inn-
tations to Mrs. Marden's rose display,
found them fully realized yesterday after
noon, for there and then took place one
of the prettiest, brightest, happiest par
ties ever given in our city. The decora
tions were wonderfully -beautiful, and
were confposed of thousands of roses.
Every door and window was outlined
with that matchless flower, while long
streamers were suspended from tbe
center to the corners of the ceilings.
The hall was festooned entirely with red
roses, the two parlors in cream and La
France roses respectively, while tbe
dining room was decorated solely with
magnificent yellow beauties. There
were 145 varieties of roses nsed.
The form ot entertainment which was
most novel and interesting, was an
original idea of the hostess. Each guest
was furnished with a score card and
pencil and a name of some one thing,
which one after tbe other drew on a
large portfolio, hanging on the wall.
Peals of laughter would greet each effort,
and the guesses went all the way from
"General Grant's tomb." to "a night-
its interest with the advance of years.
It introduces a variety of American
characters in the world of nrban life
which are frequently met. The same
sparkling fun pervades this play as all
the others, and does not differ materially
in style. The' readiness of the New
York Bohemian to adapt himself to cir
cumstances is very naturally drawn by
Nobles in his character of "Carroll
Graves." . The play throughout is full of
spirited dialogue, and several thrilling
tableaus are introduced. Though the
company drew poor bouses while in The
Dalles, owing to other attractions, tbey
were fully appreciated and will meet
with a warm welcome should they ever
revisit our city.
Past Redemption.
The next theatrical production will be
by home talent, under tbe direction of
Prof. C. W. Travis of New York. He
has a very strong attraction booked of a
temperance cast, and is a thrilling
drama which had 100 nights run in New
York City alone. Mr. Travis is a com
petent and painstaking drillmaster, as
well as a thorough actor, and he assures
us that "Past Redemption," to be pre
sented at the New Vogt opera house next
Friday evening, will compare favorably
with many established companies. Below
is published the cast of characters and
synopsis of the play :

they were returning to Mr. Williams'
store, when the drummer remarked
"That is tbe best cigar I have smoked
for a long time, I will have to lay in a
supply of them." He at once returned
to Mr. Ruch's and bought a box for his
own use, and was somewhat surprised
on being informed that they were made
here in town. .
Many of our people seem to think that
because a cigar is made at home it can
hot be of as good quality as if it were
shipped in from abroad. The inconsist
ency of this notion becomes apparent
when you stop to consider that it is just
as easy to ship in fine leaf tobacco as it
is to ship in fine cigare, and considera
bly cheaper, for the freight is less.
This Boston traveller, who has a chance
to sample all kinds of cigars and who
had no foolish prejudice to bias his de
cision, at once pronounced the Regula
tor to be an exceptionally fine cigar.

A Compliment From Boston.
H. M. Drew, a traveling salesman for
the mercantile' house of the Wm. F.
Mayo & Co. of Boston, was in the city
recently taking an order from A. M.
Williams &' Co., when he suggested to
Manager Williams that they step out
and get a cigar. Acting on the impulse,
they walked over to Geo. Ruch's gro
cery and called for his best cigar. Mr.
Ruch at once set out a box of the Regu
lator brand, made in this city by O. A.
Peterson. The cigars were lighted and
Unveiling Ceremonies.
The event of yesterday was the un
veiling ceremonies of the Woodmen at
Sunset cemetery. The monument was
one erected to tbe memory of Tlios. N.
Jules. It was erected about a year ago,
but the unveiling ceremonies were post
poned owing to the absence of Mrs.
Isaac Joles.
The procession formed at the corner
of Second and Court streets. It was
headed by The Dalles band and imme
diately followed by the Woodmen on
foot, to the number of 93. In the pro
cession were a delegation of 15 from
Dufur, also Mr. O. D. Sturgees of Go)
dendale. The Woodmen Circle, the
ladies auxiliary of the order, followed
in carriages. Then came many citizens.
Probably 1000 people altogether were
gathered at tbe cemetery to witness the
ceremonies. These were nnder the di
rection of Consul Gibons, Advisor Mann,
Banker Phillips, Clerk Filloon and
Neighbor C. H. Brown. Tbe.o'pening
song was "Nearer My God to Thee."
Dr. Doane read tbe poem "Oh, Why
Should the fepirit of Mortal Be Proud."
Two beautiful hymns were sung by
mixed voices. Tbe oration by Mr. John
Micnell was masterly. . He extolled the
virtues and sterling qualities of the de
ceased in a, fitting manner, and dwelt
upon the benefits of the order of which
the deceased was an honored member.
The principal floral piece was an em
blematic wreath presented by the Cir
cle, which was laid at the foot of the
monument during the impressive cere
monies. There were many handsome
bouquets also offered, as tributes to the
memory of the deaceased.
H. H. Joles, wife and two daughters
of Genesee, III., and Chas. N. Joles of
Tacoma, were present at the unveiling
ceremonies.
