Bargains always bring results. That has been oar experience.
What we propose now is a bargain sale which shall be general
throughout our store. The cream of the season's goods are here
at prices way below the ordinary, and if quality is the -test of
cheapness you'll surely find these goods cheap. Our store is very
interesting just now and very busy. But it will be busier later
on. The most leisurely, comfortable holiday shopping is to be
done right now

Miss Catharine Martin, teacher of
the Jth and 5th grades in our public
school, is confined to her home today by
sickness. Her place is being filled by
Miss Hattie Cram.
A letter received from Joe and Gas
Bonn today, announces that they started
for home on last Monday. If no stops
lire made they will arrive about tomor
row. Otherwise they will reach home
about the last of the week.
Few people are aware of the enormous
source ot revenue the salmon-canning
industry has been for Oregon. Accord
ing to the fish commissioner's report,
that fish has up to the time he compiled
it, yielded this state $75,000,000.
- Yesterday the wind blew a perfect
gale down the liver, causing the waves
to reach the upper deck of the Inland
. Flyer. But she is a sea gull when it
comes to plowing the waves, and with
some needed ; improvements will yet
- show what she is made of.
- Earnest Sherar arrived from Portland
last night and left this morning for bis
' ranch, near Hay Creek. t Last week Mr.
Sherar sold 4000 head of sheep to W. J.
Schotield. of Salt Lake City, which were
' brought here Saturday and taken across
the river, to be turned loose in the Yaki
ma country. ;
This morning the thermometer stood
25 above, and it remained cold daring
the entire day. While the Klickitat
hill have donned their white opera cloak,
we have failed to receive even a sprink
ling of snow. In Walla Walla they have
had sleighing, and at Spokane the
thermometer has stood at 7 above,
while at other places they are ' coasting.
The first sleigbbells of the season were
heard in Walla Walla yesterday. It
might be casually remarked in the same
connection that ' they could scarcely be
beard for the grating sound arising from
the runners and mud coming in contact.
It is barely possible that the liveryman
was sharpening the runnel a and polish
ing them up ready for real sleighing,
which is liable to come with a slight
shift of snow. W. W. Statesman.
This morning when No. 115, an extra
west-bound freight, with .Nestor as cor
ductor and Nickle aB engineer, reached
M osier, an axle broke on one of the cars,
causing two cars to be derailed - and the
trucks to break under another, and mak
ing quite a mix-up in that vicinity.
About 8 o'clock the wrecker was Bent to
the scene with a force of men to clear up
the debris. Fortunately no one was
injured.
George Peters, the man who had
bis ankle broken - last week, and has
since occupied the city jail, was last
evening removed . to the county poor
house, three miles from town. He is
getting along nicely, and appears to be
a man who is far above the ordinary ho
bo. He claims to have been put off the
train a few miles below town, and to
have slipped and broken bis ankle while
walking on the track here.
Sometime in the near future when
there are not so many attractions from
abroad, our citizens are to have a treat
furnished by one of our own townsmen.
Capt. Lewis, who is fully as competent
aa any who have ever visited our city,
and has experienced all the terrors of a
prisoner of war, will give atalk on life
in Libby prison and bia escape from its
walls, where Le spent seven months. AH
will look forward to the date, which will
ba announced later.
And now the marshal is after the town
cow, and hereby warns her owners that
if she is not kept up, he will see that she
is run into the pound. So if you are
compelled to drink your tea and coffee
without milk, do not say you have not
been warned of the pending catastrophe.
All of those who are annoyed by her will
not be so accommodating as the feed
yard keeper, to whom she has been such
a nuisance that he tied her up, allowing
her to return to her owners at night.
If no other proof of the superiority of
Oregon's apple crop conld be found, vis
itors to The Chronicle office today
could be fully convinced that our apples
can't be beat. On our desk ia a small
basket of white winter pearmains, red
checked pippins, Missouri pippins and
Spitzenberg varieties, which were raised
in the orchard of Mrs. Ned Wicks, and
they are beauties. In vain have we
searched for blemishes, they are not to
be found, and a more perfect selection
we have not seen. ' '
A serious runaway accident occurred
about 9:30 o'clock this morning, when
the horses attached to ' Win. Henzie'e
express wagon became frightened while
standing in front of the D. P. & A. N.
Co. 'a warehouse, and ran into the flag
pole at the foot of court street, throwing
Mr. Henzle out and causing the wagon
to pass over him, bruising him about the
chest and spraining bis ankle. He was
immediately taken to his rooms and
made aa comfortable aa possible, his in
juries not proving serious. The team
then proceeded up First street, and be
came badly tangled after running into a
post in front of the Cosmopolitan, but
were released before they had hurt
themselves or broken the wagon.
, ; . Thursday's Daily.
Don't buy your Christmas presents
until you see the articles at the fair
next week, Dec. 14tb, 15th and 16th.
Pease & Mays have accepted the in
evitable and will now adopt the penny
system. Today they received 2500 from
Portland.
J Two drunk and disorderlies occupy
the city jail today, while in the yard
maybe found a man who is sawing
wood as payment for a night's lodging.
This morning Mr.-M. J. Manning,
who is a wool buyer at this ' place, re
ceived a letter announcing the death of
nis sister, sure, roiey, at tirade, (Jr., on
the 6tb. Her remains will be brought
to this city for interment, arriving to
night or in the morning.
Mr. r. Wbealdon reports a sale of
3500 acres, being the north portion of
what is known as the Thompson place,
at the junction of Five and Eight-Mile,
The purchase was made by D. P,
Ketchum, who will use the land aa a re
ceiving station in his sheep business and
for feeding grounds daring the winter
season.
There will be no excuse for some time
for the presence of trampB or boboa in
our midst, and if you are annoyed with
the hand-out fiends jjust remind them
that 3000 men can. secure employment
on the branch road which ia to be con
structed between Wallula and Ripana.
For the next eight months ihat many
men can obtain work at $1.75 a day.
Common laborers, scraper-drivers, quar
ry men and teamsters, besides camp
"books, waiters, foremen, etc., will be
needed on the work.
The leading question now is, "Are we
to have Christmas this year?" In other
words, "Will Monday, the 26tb, be ob
served as a holiday?" From all we can
gather by inquiry the general opinion is
that it should be, for surely we mast
have a Christmas day, and Sunday can
not necessarily be observed as such. Not
that it is not an appropriate day for the
Christmas festival, but the usual Sab
bath exercises will prevent it being ob
served as it always is by family gather
ings, trees for the children, etc. Of
course we must have Monday.
Miss May Fiske, the winsome Kitty
Starlight of the Dazzler, who will be
seen at the Vogt, Monday, Dec. 12th,
is this year singing better ban ever.
Always a charming singer, and with
a voice remarkable for its strength and
carrying; qualities, she seems this season
to be fairly outdoing herself in her mu
sical numbers. . Her characterization of
the part of the London Concert Hall
singer is light and dainty with delicious
bits of comedy here and there, which
serve as a fine background for the
broader work of the comedians.
A" McM innville paper says: "The
Pacific Progress is soon to begin a gen
eral write-up of every ccunty in the
state, giving one county each month.
Mr. Hugh Gourlay, of The Dalles, an
able descriptive writer, will have the
matter in hand, which means that it
will be well done. Mr. Gourlay will be
in this city in a few days to interview
our people in his line." From a gen
tleinan who was permitted to glance
over Mr. Gourlay's write-up of Wasco
county, we learn that our county gets
each a send off as it never had before,
but justly deserves.
This afternoon when Mrs. Bonzey,
whose home is on Third street, next
door to the court house, . went to get
some money from a satchel, she dis
covered that it had disappeared to the
amount ot $90. Suspecting a man who
baa been rooming in the house and saw
ing wood for a iiying, search was made
for him ; but although his bed bad ap
parently been disturbed he had disap
peared during the night or early this
morning. Her suspicions were directed
to him from the fact that he had often
watched her go to this satchel for money
when paying email bills at different
times. No doubt he will be apprehended,
as the officers have been informed of the
robbery.
The city of Seaside, Clatsop county, ia
to be incorporated and ita charter will
contain a provision providing for the
protection of surf bathers. The marshal
will be empowered to fix the hours dur
ing which surf-bathing will be allowed,
according to the tides, and a provision
will also be made for the maintenance
of life lines and other life-eaving ap
pliances. This is as it should be. So
numerous have the accidents at the sea
side become that many do not dare to
venture in the surf, and those who do
are bo filled with thoughts of the fate of
others that the pastime is robbed of its
pleasure. The many residents of The
Dalles who frequent this favorite resort
will be pleased to learn of this movement
in the right direction. -Yeeterday
at high noon in the Uni
tarian church in Portland occurred the
wedding of Mr. F. B. Sommerville, of
Hay Creek, and Miss Laura B. Knowles,
of Portland. The bride and groom ar
rived in the city last evening on the 5:30
train, and about 10 o'clock this morning
left by private conveyance for their fu
ture home at Hay Creek. Mr. Sommer
ville,who has been manager of the Bald
win Sheep and Land Co. 'a store for a
number of years, is a young man of ex
cellent character and attainments; while
the bride, who is the daughter of C. W.
Knowles, of Portland, is charming in
every sense of the word and admired by
all her acquaintances. They left for
their new home followed by the good
wishes of all their friends, which are
legion. .- ..; '
The Oregoman is credibly informed by
local representatives of California buy
ers of prunes in Oregon that their prod
act ia shipped under labels bearing the
name Oregon, and not California, aa has
been frequently changed.- We conclude,
therefore, that the practice of selling
Oregon prunes as California prunes is
not as general as has been supposed, or
perhaps aB general as it once was.- Large
quantities of these prunes have gone to
the Eastern states this year, and even
in Europe, and the expectation is that
these preliminary sales may form the be
ginning of a lucrative trade. It is to
be hoped the day is not distant when the
Oregon prunes will be manufactured in
to finished product in Oregon, instead
of being first shipped to California.
Oregonlan.
Just to see what the Dufurites were
doing this morning, The Chbonicle re
porter, at the request of Mr. Vorse, the
new agent here, "Helloed" over the new
line which has just been put in by the
Oregon Telephone Co. It didn't take
ub long to find out, for there was no rea
son for asking Mr. Balch to repeat, so
distinctly was the sound transmitted.
Of course he told us about the weather,'
which he said was very cold, the ther
mometer standing at 20 above, and it
was attempting to snow. The company
is now engaged in putting in a ' loop, or
extra metallic wire between this place
and Biggs, so that all the messages from
the Goldendale country will come di
rectly through this office. The rate has
also been reduced from fifty to twenty-
five cents.
Friday's Daily.
Wheat is back to the 53-cent mark
again, which seems to be the favorite
station.
The ladies of the Congregational
church will, on Friday and Saturday,
December 23d and 24th, have on sale
pies and cakes and all kinds of pastry."
Any ladies who may have donations
of fancy work for the coming fair are !
requested to deliver them to Mrs. D. M. j
French, iujtead of Mrs. Lytle, aa form
erly arranged.
Thi8 morning Peter M. Games, who
was arrested last night for being drunk
and disorderly, came up before Recorder
Gates and was fined $5. Not having the
wherewithal, he will be confined in jail
for two days.
An undertaker in an Idaho town re
cently received the following letter:
"Sar, my wife is ded and wants to be
berried tomorrer at wonner clok ; vo no
whur to dig the hoal bi the side of mv
other 2 wifs let it be depe "
With this issue of the weekly The
Chronicle gives its readers a supple
ment containing the president's mes
sage. Arrangements had been made to
include the message in Wednesday's is
sue, but it was unavoidably detained,
therefore the lateness of publishing.
Last night at Portland Mr. G. H.
Woodbury, purser on the Dalles City,
was married to a Portland young lady;
whose name we could fkpt learn. With
out doubt her name is now Mrs. Wood
bury, and frienda in The Dalles, for Mr.
Woodbury has many here, extend their
congratulations and wish them well.
Being informed that our electric lights
had failed to connect, a commercial
traveler appeared in the city yesterday
with the new style hats for the gentle
men, which, if adopted in The Dalles,
will light the city sufficient. They are
fedoras of a fiery red and very bright
blue shade. Let them come in, we need
something of the sort.
Everybody along the line knows
Grandma Munra, who formerly kept the
eating station at Bonneville, and whose
log cabin dining room at Meaeham now
is just as popular with all travelers. She
is to be highly honored by having her
picture printed in Munsey's magazine,
holiday edition. This is done at the re
quest of the proprietors of the journal,
who know the extensive reputation of
the Log Cabin and its admirable hostess.
Joe and Gus Bonn returned this morn
ing from their trip through Colorado and
the eastern states. They report a most
enjoyable visit with friends, who vied
with one another in affording them a
good time, but wben the thermometer
got down to eight and ten below zero
and the Mississippi was frozen over, the
boys thoughts turned homeward. Of the
many placea which they visited and in
vestigated, they Bay The Dalles beats
any of its size and its people compare
more than favorable with those of any
place, being right up to date.
The Dazzler is the next attraction,
which appears at the Vogt Monday even
ing. ' The company consists of twenty-.
six people. The costumes are new aa
well as the songs and dances and the
Dazzler for 1898 shines like a new dol
lar. The ladies quartet, which was one
of the pleasing features of the Dazzler
last year, has been retained for the pres
ent season. A couple of new voices have
i replaced the old ones, resulting in a de
cided improvement in the singing, and
an entirely new set of selections have
been arranged for their voices.
Again this morning residents awoke
to tbe fact that thev were without their
usual supply of water. Tbose who bad
not read The Chronicle last evening,
which told of yesterday's experiences in
thawing out pipes through the city, ex
pended what little water the kettles con
tained in attempting to thaw the pipes,
but to no avail. It appears that tbe
water in the small reservoir was not suf
ficient for tbe extra supply it is intend
ed to furnish at present, but as soon as
men bad been sent to tbe creek near
Judge Bennett's place, from whence this
reservoir gets its supply, to turn an ex
tra amount in, the difficulty was over
come and the city had enough for all
purposes.
For fear the Chronicle may be.
thought to be too severe on shows which
yisit our city and be considered a
"chronicle" kicker, we quote the Pendle
ton E. O. regarding the "Pulse of New
York" company. After roaBting them
mercilessly he says : "They should be
hooted out of the towns east 1 of here
towards whish thev are traveling. It
would be an insult to'the race of hens to
use even rotten eggs with which to drive
them from tbe stage. And were cab
bages to be thrown at the combination
by an enraged audience, all the vegetable
world would revolt, and justly, too. Let
the public stamp with their disapproval
such frauds. Let theatre managers re-
fuse them engagements. Let them be
discountenanced in every manner pos
sible, lney injure the stage and injure
local managers and deserve nothing
better than does the bunco steerer or
the confidence man."
W. H, Reeves Seriously Injured.
This morning, as the we9t-bound
freight reached Grants, W. H. Reeves,
who is an engineer, but who was acting
as brakeman on this run, attempted to
come down the ladder on the aide of the
engine. When throwing himself off, his
foot caught in the V formed by the main
rail and the guide rail, throwing bia
right leg nnder the train. Tbe foot and
ankle were terribly mashed.
He was brought at once to this city,
where bis mother, Mrs. Reeves, and
sister, Mrs. Perriauo, reside, and taken
to the Umatilla House,' where Drs.
Doane and Logan dressed the wcund.
Tomorrow he will be taken to the bos-
pital in Portland. It cannot be deter
mined at present as to bow Eeriona the
injuries will be, or whether or not the
foot will have to be amputated.
