THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE. SATURDAY. JANUARY 14. 1899
ir
Is not in chewing the string, any more than the quoting of low prices is a proof
of a reduction in the cost of goods, to the consumer; but the quoting of prices has
proven two things conclusively
FIRST That the public read our advertisements.
SEDOND That they believe what they read.
If the public will continue the reading of these quotations they will find seme new things ever' few' days
that will surprise them, as all Winter Goods must be cleaned up preparatory to the great change we are going to
make in our numerous departments. REMEMBER that all goods previously quoted for this Clearance Sale re
main the same price until closed out or the sale is discontinued. .

Thit morning about 2 o'clock Guy, the

Statesman.
I The lady bowlers of The Dalles are
doing themselves proud, as is evidenced
by the report of the individual cham
pionship contest, which consists of fifty
games, with sixty contestants. The
Dalles, Astoria, and Maltnomab being
the only clubs taking part. Among
nine ladies whoe averages are higher
than thirty we nolle" the names of Mrs.
Huntington, who leads the list with 27
game, and an average of 38 39. Miss
Schanno follows with 25 games and
37.80 average. Mrs. T. J. Seufert, fourth,
having 49 games ; average 30 64. Mrs.
Houghton has 50 games, with 30.26
average.
The principal occupation of Dalles
residents today has been shoveling snow.
Altogether about twenty-four inches
have fallen, with 1.99 of moisture, and
as about fifteen remain on the house
tops and sidewalks, it has become neo
essary to shovel ourselves out. Six
inches fell last night, with the ther
mometer 22 above. This morning early
pedestrians found it difficulty to make
their way along the streets, but as our
city is noted for the amount of laboring
people it contains, who are compelled to
be np with the early bird, paths were
soon beaten. The weather report for to
morrow says snow or rain, which is
rather indefinite. Mr. Brooks claims
he never was so nou-plussed In regard
to indications. Last night the barome
ter went down to 29.20, which is almost
a sure sign of a heavy wind storm, but it
came not, and we scarcely know where
we are "at" or what to expect. How
ever, with such bright sunshine and
good sleighing we are contented.
The following Manila mail schedule
has been announced for January: The
first mail steamer for the Orient sails
from Seattle, January 11 ; the next sails
from San Francisco on January 17; one
sails from San Francisco on the 25th,
and one from Vancouver, B. C, on Jan
uary 30. Letters to Manila require a 6
cent stamp for each half ounce, and
must be marked via Hong Kong if in
tended to go by any of the steatrers
above named. Letters will be taken by
United States transports for two cents,
but there is no certainty w hen the
transports will go out. It is surer to
pay the extra 3 cents and catch the
regular mail steamers.
J. B. Wheat and Car) Feetz, of Moro,
arrived in the city this morning to at
tend a meeting of delegates to consult in
regard to the epentng of the river above
The Dulles. Strange to say no arrange
ments had been made with the resi
dents of this city for the holding of a
meeting here, and it apr.ears the pro
ji-ct originated with the Astoria people.
It is much regretted by the citizens here
that such is the vase, for while no other
delegates have arrived these gentlemen
came to the city at somewhat of an ex
pense and are disjointed. However,
they will meet with members of the
club this evening and discuss the pro
ject of so much import to our people.
Thiitmlay's Dully.
Iiev, J. H. Wood, who has suffered a
severe attack of grippe, Ii now able to be
out about the yard, and hopes the im
prove so as to fill his pulpit Sunday.
Sheriff Kelly yesterday turned over to
the treasurer for taxes collected $1023.55.
The Oregon Telephone Company are
extending their lines all through the
city, and putting in 'phones. Mr. Vorse
reports a large. list of new names.
McEwen, who is to be here the first
part of next month, is now in Astoria
entertaining crowded houses. This year
he is accompanied by a Miss Maynard,
whom he places in a cataleptic state
daring the evening's performance.
John Doe wasarrested yesterday after
noon for being drunk and disorderly.
He, however, bad dough in name only,
so was not able to pay his fine. How
ever, when he found his cake was dough,
he was very penitent, and promising to
do better, was set free.
The weather report for' tomorrow says
fair, and we hope no warmer. While
we are having such delightful days we
sympathize with the residents of Port
land and valley towns who are wading
in slush. Although it Is thawing a little
here, it is not yet disagreeable.
A committee composed of Couucilmen
Stephens, Gunning and Butts, together
with Recorder Gates, are working like
white heads preparing the new blanket
license ordinance for the city. When it
Is completed we will have to pay license
for living, or even for walking around to
save funeral expenses. It would be
cheaper to let Coroner Butts hold an in
quest over us at once.'
Mr. Bolton looked sheepish when we
called at the clerk's office thin afternoon,
and upon inquiring fir an item he re
sponded tiiat there was a marriage
license granted, but that the parties re
quested it be kept out of the paper.
And so a marriage licence 1ms not only
proved its efficiency in Plopping the
liberty of the contracting parties, lint
even of the press. We'll get even and
tell onr readers about it next week when
the wedding occurs.
II. II. Kiddull, who was appointed by
the county court to champion n bill
regulating the tax law through the legisla
ture, left this morning for Salem. This
bill is one which asks that the time
when the taxes liecomedelinqnent, which
Is now April 1st, bn extended from time
to time until the first of November. Al
so that the publication of such time in
the county papers become a levy, in
stead of the sheriff being required to
make a further levy. Representative
Roberts will introduce the bill in the
house and Sunator Dtifur in the senato.
About twenty of the friends of Mr.
and Mrs. J. S. Finn were entertained at
their home last evening, and the beBt of
good times was enjoyed. The first part
of the evening was deyoted to whist, and
when the scores were counted Mrs, T. A.
Hudson received the head prize and
Mrs. J. f. Peters the booby. After
lunch, games of the most amusing nature
were played, and singing, dancing, cake
walks, etc.. occupied the closing hours of
a most delighting party. The guests
were: Dr. and Mrs. Logan, Mr. and
Mrs. Peters, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Seufert,
Judge and Mrs. Bradahaw, Mr. and Mrs.
Hobson, Judge and Mrs. Bennett, Mr
and Mrs. Blakeley, Mr. and Mrs. II S
Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Hudson and Mrs.
McCoy.
The members of the Methodist Son
day school were treated to a tine sleigh
ride last evening by the officers, teachers
and friends of the school. Sleighs of all
descriptions had been engaged, and at
6 :30 o'clock an expectant crowd of chil
dren and young people gathered in the
basement of the church and were packed
into the conveyances and taken all over
the city. For about two hours the town
was lifely with the shouting, tooting of
horns and singing. To say that it was
enjoyed is not expressive enough, and
the real pleasure derived could only be
determined by the happy faces and mer
riment which was prevalent throughout
the entire ride. It was with difficulty
that the teachers prevailed upon the
little tots to allow them to he lifted
from the sleighs when the time for
home-going came.
Yesterday in mentioning Mrs. Seu
fert' bowling average it was given as
30:64, instead of 35:64. Mrs. Ingalls, of
Astoria, seems to be gaining ground in
the ladies' bawling contest. uid Dalles
bowlers will have to look well to their
laurels. The Aetorian of yesterday say :
"Some of the best bowling ever seen in
Astoria took place at the A. F. C. alleys
yesterday, tho score being made by Mrs.
Ingalls and C. II. Cooper. Mis. Ingalls
bowled seven games, securing a total of
300 pins, or an average, of nearly 44 In
her last four games she made 60, 51, 47,
and 44, a total of 202 pins, or an average
of 50,'a'. This, it is expected, places her
well in tho lead in the championship
contest, as her average for 32 game now
is but three pins short of 39. The four
games above mentioned are the best
ever bowled by a woman in the north
west, and doubtless wlil stand as the
record for years. Cooper distinguished
himself by cracking out 74."

"On the Suwanee River," which
comes to the Vogt opera house on next
Monday (January 16th), tells a story dif
ferent from the usual run of melodrama.
The blind girl, Dora; the witless Frank,
and Caleb Croc, the miser, are three
characters rarely lutrojuced in a play.
J Willard Newell is the villain of the vil
lainous, grasping, sneaking miser of the
very life. It is pronounced a Hue char
acter study, repulsive but true in every
word and movement. Stella Mayhew as
Aunt Lindy, is a living picture, in walk,
talk and gesture of the old black mam
my, familiar in the South, while the
other members of the company are
equally adept in their parts. The scenic
equipments are taken from the pictur
esque shores of the old Suwanee, and
the various scenes, of which there is an
entire carload, are assured to be true to
the very life of the country aroqnd thts
famous stream.

Capt. Lewi delivered his lecture In
Hood River Monday evening, which
proved to be about the stormiest night
of the season, and in consequence the
audience was s.nall. This was unfortu

missed a treat. We have not heard from
the country where he lectured at Bar
rett and Odell school houses.
The sleighing party to be given by the
