the managers of King Hallabahoola II,
the reporter attended the reheareal last
evening, and although he must refrain
from'giving awav the plot or character
of the performance, he is permitted to
say one thing, and that is that it prom
ises to surpass anything ever given by
home talent in The Dalles. Their songs,
dances, jokes and music are the latest
and best, and owing to the good spirit
with which everyone enters into their
parts, as well as the amonnt of practic
ing the boys are doing, every turn will
be put on in the best possible shape.
Tne Champion base-ball team has re

Louie Fritz, manager, formerly of the
White Stars; J. J. Maloney, Ed Jen
kins, Jansen Powere, Ed Howell, Willie
Brown, Spottard Ferguson, Geo. Dnfnr,
Jim Crate, Mike Robinson and Jac Mc
Grath. Goldendale Sentinel : A -proposition
has been made by J. Russell Jones', now
in New York, that if the right-of-way
can be procured for a railway to connect
Goldendale with The Dalles, that' some
capitalists, whom he represents, will
have the line surveyed, and if the route
is practical, will build a road. It is ex
pected this route will follow that of the
Lyle railroad as far as Ceotervllle, then
run in a southerly direction toTbeDalles
mountain, climing it at a gradual grade
and crossing it where The Dalles wagon
road reaches the summit; then descend
ing in a westerly direction, making a
turn on the G. W. Smith place, and
then to The Dalles. Committees have
been appointed to get the .right-of-way,
and surely no one will be so hoggish as
not to grant it.
