Mr. and Mrs. Rtubling were delight
ed to receive a telegram from Arthur
today saying that he would leave for
home at once. Mr. Stubling will leave
for Portland in the morning, where he
will met his son and they will probably
return home tomorrow night.
Monday, while spraying some fruit
trees in his nursery, a portion of the
liquid need somehow fell into Mr.
Webber's eyes. A physician was at
once called who eased the sufferer. Al
though the accident caused much pain,
it is not thought it will prove serious nor
injary Mr. Webber's sight.
Next Sunday will be the last that
Elder Boltz will spend as pastor of the
Christian church in this city. On the
following Friday be will leave for Cen
tralis, where he will commence a series
of gospel meeting". He expects to
enter the evangelistic field, this being
his favorite work and for which he con
eiders himeelf best fitted.
Yesterday afternoon Emily Crossen
met with a pa'nful accident. When at
tempting to that a door, tbe upper part
of which was glass, in some manner her
arm went through tbe glass lacerating
her wrist very badly. Dr. Logan was
called, and found it necessary to take
several stitches in tbe cut, and it is now
thought the wound will heal without
further trouble.
All arrangements have been made for
the lecture to be given by Captain Lewis
"at the Congregational church Wednes
day evening, Dec. 28th. His subject is
to foe "Seven Months in Libby Prison
and Pleasures Thereof. Speaking from
persoual experience the 'captain will
certainly interest his audience, which
no doubt will be an unusually large one.
A little girl named Fox, fouryeatsold,
was burned to death near Tacoma Sat
urday. Her parents were away, and
ehe with a still younger brother, had
been left with a hired man, who when
ehe was discovered had disappeared. It
is supposed her dress may have caught
from the flames in a stove. The hired
man, named Hanson, was afterwards
found, crazed with grief.
Emil Scbanno of the state board of
horticulture, having noticed the para
graph published in the Oregonian a -few
days since in regard to a monster app'o
displayed by Harry Rosswell, which
weighed 33 ounces, writes to say that
the apple which he sent to the Colum
bian exposition in 1893 weighed 33
ounces, and measured 16 inches in cir
cumference. Orchardists should make
a note of this and endeavor to find a few
larger ones next fall. Oregonian.
8ome of our crosswalks-are in a terri
ble condition, compelling pedestrians to
go blocks in the endeavor to get across
the streets. These be tbe cases wherein
the "longest way round is not tbe short
est way home," especially when ladies
are doing their morning marketing.
However, if you can't get across the
walk in your own neighborhood, go down
to that of the courthouse, where John
Fitxcerald keeps his walks so that he is
not compelled to put pown his coat' for
the ladles to walk on..
How strange it seems to be basking in
tbe sunehine with everything around us
calculated to make us believe it is sum
mer, and in front of us a broad expanse
of ice. While the blockade is weaken
ing considerablv. vet it has made no
perceptible move toward going down
Btream. However, we are informed
that below Crate's Point the river is
clear. It cannot break np too soon to
suit the D. P. & A. N. Co. which is only
waiting for tbe slightest opportunity,
when their boats will start on their
rccclar run.
It wonld not be amiss were residents
to see that the chicken coops are well
locked these nieht. Not that there is
to be a ministerial convention in tbe
city, or anything of that sort, but that
there is in our midst a class of
neonle who are just chicken hearted
enough to be afraid to tackle any
thing more difficult to obtain than a few
poorly housed fowls, and therefore pay
a visit to their roosts and go away with
the "rooster." Night before last they
invaded the quiet of a ben party on tbe
hill, and after taking the chickens under
their wings, kindly left a light so that
the owner might see clearly tbe loss he
sustained.
Of course we meant all tbe time to ob
serve Monday as a holiday and were only
waiting for some one like Joe Bonn to
call around and invite us to say so, which
be did this morning, and practically ev
ery business man in the town was ready
to close his doors and stay at home
with the children. Besides, those who
have such long stockings for SantaClaus
to fill could never get them emptied and
at tbe same time go to church on Sun
day. Therefore, they were more than
willing to take another day to the job,
wearing last year's pair on Christmas
aav. Americans need nave no tear oi
getting too many holidays, for there'll
be plenty of time left in which to do the
amount of rushing we seem to deem it
neceseary to do. We take too few leisure
hours at any rate, and would do well to
profit more by the exampleof our Eng
lish cousins, who take life easy.
Cbrietmas this year is to be generally
observed by the different Sunday schools,
well, and is load in his praises of
Spokane.
Miss Myrtle Smith will leave for Pen
dleton on the late train tonight. Her
friend, Miss Edna Crawford, will arrive

The office at the Umatilla House is
putting on a new dress today, which is
made of yery pretty paper. The im
provementa which are being made will
add much to tbe appearance of this
popular rendezvous.
Mrs. Henrietta Brown, of Albany,
while sewing some fur, ran a needle into
one of her fingers. There seems to have
been poison in tbe fur, which took effect
in tbe finger, patting it in such .a bad
condition that it was necessary to am
putate it. .
E. H. French, or Ed, as we all know
him, returned home this morning, alter
five years absence in eastern cities. For
tbe past few years he has held a high
position with the General Electric Com
pany in Lvnn, Mass., to which place he
expects , to return after a visit here.
Ed srsms to have changed but little and
his friends are all glad to greet him once
more at home.
"Esther," the beautiful cantata, which
never fails to please an audience will be

it will be given in The Dalles some time
in February.
The membere of the Oregon delegation
in both senate and bouse have received

Manv letters were received from the
boys at Manila today, most of them
telling of the monotony of life there. It
will perhaps seem less monotonous
when it is 'learned that they may soon
return home. One letter says: "We
have all chipped in and ordered a big
Christmas dinner. When yoa are en
joying yours, imagine as devouring oars
with the thermometer 100 in the shade."
And now we are inclined to believe
that tbe report published in the Belle
vue paper regarding the return of a
Dalles young man to that city was not
merely "newspaper talk." Yesterday
Sam Wilkinson disposed of one of his
tbe contagion of diphtheria and scarlet
fever. One case of each is reported with
in the past 48 hours, and oue child has

suggestive of diphtheria. The schools
have Leen ordered closed and an or
der has been issued forbidding all
theatres, dances, public Christmas trees
and other similar assemblages for the
period of ten days.
Dr. Holiister, who armed from Port
land last night, informs us that it was
found n ecessary to perform an operation
on Fred Burchtorf, -and so serious was it
that two hours and a half were on-
sumed in operating. It appears that
in a fall some years ago bis skull was
mashed slightly, causing it to press on
the orr sn, and Fred was afterward sub
ject to pains In tbe head end fainting
spells.. The surgeons removed a small
piece of bone, which was the chief
source of the trouble, and f.-om accounts
received today he is getting along nicely.
While there the doctor called on James
Blakeney, and says he seems very hors
ful and improving as fast as cm be ex
pected in such cases.
There seems to be great fatality among
tbe dogs in the West End of the city,
which it is claimed is caused by some
one who has determined to poison every
animal which comes in bis reach. This
morning Dick Gorman's black Spaniel,
"Caley" (not Dewey) turned up his
little black toes and launched his bark
for dog heaven. .Being informed of his
friend's demiee "Augustine" Wilson at
once started for the Ecene to deliver the
funeral oration, and arriving informed
Dick that he bad "come to bury Coley
not to fight him." However, Augus
tine, as. is bis wont in attending church,
weddings and fanerals, was late and
another dog got in anrad of b;m in
delivering the doggerel.

Monday morning Byers' mill race, in
endleton, broke in two places, and a
great flood of water came rushing down
on the people, surrounding their houses
and temporarily imprisoning them. Dar
ing the night a Chinook wind .bad come
up. In a few hours, the snow on all tV
hills had melted as though a blast had
come from a redhot furnace, and tbe
waters, flowing quickly down the hill
sides, augmented the volume of the mill !

The party given last night by Smith

judges of pi, but candies as well.
The land Office reports a great rush of
business, having shipped about $9,000
so far this month. As January 1st
marks the close of the time in which
cash purchases can be made under tbe
act of September 29, 1890, (R. R. for
feiture act) the receipts from this source
alone will doubtless foot np as much as
$1,000 a day from now until the close of
the year. The number' of homestead
entries and proofs of all kinds kept pace
with the remarkable record of the earlier
months of tbe year. The land office i
tar above "maximum" and it is need
less to say the officials are glad of it,
Late news from Manila tells of -the

CANYON CITY STILL ALIVE.
Bert Fhelps and Mr. Loot Visit the City
and Report Badness Going Ahead.
Attorney Phelps and Mr. Wm. Long
returned from Canyon City last Friday
evening where they went to arrange the
settlement of the estate of John Long aa
mentioned in last issue. Mr. Phelpa
was appointed administrator for the es
tate, a considerable portion of which is
located in Grant county, while valuable
property is located in San Francisco and
other parts of California. Unfortunate
ly the papers of the deceased were con
sumed in the Canyon City fire necessitat
ing considerable trouble on the part of
Mr. Phelps to locate. He will leave
about the first of the year for California
to locate and look of property there.
Both Mr. Phelps and Mr. Long
were quite enthusiastic in - declaring
that Canyon City had tbe most hos
pitable and cheerful class of people it
has been their fortune to meet. Re
building of the city is going steadily
ahead, and tbe people seem to be well
provided for and grateful for tbe con
sideration of tbe outside world. Tbe
frozen condition of the roads made their
ride a thrilling one, as the mountain
grades were covered with ice, and the
horses urged to the top of their speed to
keep clear of the coach at times. The
trip was made in twenty-seven hours,
and they spoke highly oi Mr. Miller's
efficient stage service. HeppnerGazett

The Portland Commercial Review
says :
The situation apparently shows no
signs of improvement. Xhe foreign
cargo demand is either entirely checked
or so small that the market has a neg
lected appearance; as a result, tbe situ
ation favors the buying class, who, hav
ing the advantage, are inclined to make
the most of it ; when sales are pressed,
sellers are compelled to make conces
sions. In view of the depression abroad
it is natural the effects should be seri
ously felt here, in almost stagnant trad
ing and abnormally low prices. Large
holders are snuggling bravely against
the downward movement, by withhold
ing supplies, but the' abeence of offers
here is not seriously felt, as the export
ing houses have plenty of grain on hand
to meet the call of chartered tonnage,
and will not make new freight engage
ments until they see the wheat in sight.
Some weak or discouraged holders are
net with from time to time, who are
sellers at tbe market price, but in a gen
eral way tbe market may be called life
less. For Walla Walla club wheat,
prices are down to 5859, the latter,
probably an extreme figure. So little ia
doing in tbe Valley that it is difficult to
name a quotation ; 61 cents is quoted as
a nominal selling price; bluestem, 62c
per bushel. Reports are yery much re
duced from east of the mountains, and
comparatively little coming from the
Valley. Exports daring the week are
one steamer to St. Vincent, two cargoes
choice wheat to Africa, and four
cargoes to the U. K., the whole amount
ing to 473,353 centals.
Tbe local wheat market is still m a doll
condition, the price at present being 52
cents, with no hopeful outlook.
