She may wear a man's hat, Liar and tie, anJ ail that, but when it comes to having a headache ana mak ing as much fuss about it as a man would, he is likely to fail. Cathcart & Straus have fitted up a neat little store in Daut e old stand, where the bjys all seem to know they (n get the best cigars and tobacco. The place looks inviting, and their goods all ay are all right. Commencing May 7th the O. R. & N. Co. till inaugurate their dining car wnice between Pendleton and The Dillea on trains I and 4. This service till be continued until an additional car it added. 6-I5t Portland is beginning to be excited over the dandelion question. Misery lores company, but we still sympathize with them in their dilemma. The dandelion round on our lawns is likely to be as annoying as the tramp hanging round. T.J. Seutert has disposed of his In terest in the Seufert & Condon Tele phone Co. to Win. Condon. If there's one thing above another that The Dalles enjoys its an abundance of tele phone!. The wonder is bow we ever got along without them. And now Dan Roberts, who Is in Spokane, writes to his brother to build mark, as he says the miners inform him there is more snow in the uiount- noi than they have seen for year. Of conrie they are delighted, as they "need it in their business." The teachers of the public school who taught in The Dalles when Miss Wood, who it now Mrs. Dayis, was one of their number, were entertained at the home of the Misses Hill on Dry Hollow last evening and spent a few hours very pleanntly with Mrs. Davis, who is visiting here from Union. Old settlers who have lived in this eclion since 1870 pronounce this the coldest and most backward spring they have ever seen in Oregon. Its equal has perhaps not been experienced within the last half century. The nights are nearly as cold as those in December, and 11 vegetation is patiently awaiting the advent of spring. Heppner Times. This morning Mr. Lord invited a number of our amateur photographers to "company M'- and Mrs. Weister on a Wp lo Celilo and the fisheries. So, wmedwith all the paraphernalia nec "Mry, they made the trip and captured lrge number of snap shots, for that is JMtthe place to resort for such views as 'now the pride of every photographer. Some people expross themselves oddly Wag their I10Ura o( sorroWi An ex. n says that a card of thanks was "ntly handed in for publication, In wich the writer thanked the relatives M friends for the attention paid during tie funeral services.

Al ,,Ulon has decided to con- tinua bis residence with us and Las accepted the position of district agent. j representing the American Fire Ins.

Mr. Hudson will appoint (and supervise all agencies in Eastern iim rmrai u.eiron anl taatcrn Wash ington. All business in this territory and ail adjustments will be attended to from The Dalles office, which will no doubt be very satisfactory to the com pany's clients as well as their numerous local agents. The Grass Valley Journal savs: It is a great pleasure fjr the Journal to announce that Moro merchants, through their enterprise, have secured the con tract for hauling wool from Muddy station, Crouk county, to Moro. They have clo&ed a contract with the Princ ville Land nd Stock Company, lo de liver at Moro about 100,000 pounds of wool, with about 75,000 pounds of return freight for Muddy station, a point about eighteen miles south cf Antelope." That's all right for the Moro merchants; but what about the stock company? If we are not misinformed, they'll be sorry of their bargain. The time is not ripe lor such proceedings to be paying as yet. Experience comes high, but they must have it. The high school graduates improve the hours of Friday evenings, when work is over for the week, very pleasant ly by meeting at the homes of the var ious members and having a pleasant time. Last evening they met with George Ruch, Jr., and had a fine time. During the evening they were presented with souvenirs in the shape of a picture of the high school building. Their colors being blue and gold, the picture was a blue print, with guilt mounted cards. These will no doubt be very highly appreciated, the more so as the years go by. The members of the class are: Martha Baldwin, Hattie Cram, Martha Whealdon, Martha Schooling, Ena Uren, Grace Hobson, Nettle Fred den, Grace Willerton, Lena Thorn psou, Hester Kent, Leua I.iebe, Ivan Oakes, Harry Curtis, Clyde Riddell and George Ruch. No little Kindergarten pupil can pos sibly forget a birthday with such pleasant reminders as are given. Yes terday being the fourth birthday of Jessie Iloetetler, Miss Taylor arranged for its celebration by having tbe little ones prepare small gifts, such as they make in their paper work, and each child brought a few flowers to present to their companion, who had the dis tinction of being 4 years old that day. After they had sang and played games, Mrs. Hostetler arrived, carrying a large babket of good things, among which was a large birthday cake, with four candles on it. Then the little ones made a flower wreath and crowned Jessie, while all had the merriest of times. This is one of tbe many ways in which the children are taught unselfishness and the art of being happy. It is now high time that The Dalles was making arrangements to entertain the editors who are to spend a few hours in our city on their way to Portland. The benefits to be derived from such an advertisement cannot be over estimated, and every effort should be employed to make the most of it. The Oregonian yesterday said that General Passenger Agent Hurlburt, of the O. R. &. N., had received a message from General Pas senger Agent Loinax, of the Union Pacific, notifying him that arrange ments bad been made for the passage of the Association trains over the Ufion Pacific on their way to Portland. Mr. Hurlburt is taking time by the forelock in providing for the transportation of the editors, and all arrangements will be fully matured in ample season, so there need he no friction or disappointment in handling that traffic. Mcnday'i Daily. John Griffith is booked to appear at the Vogt on the evening of May 15th in "The Avenger." The river has begun to rise again slightly and while it stood at 12.4 yes terday morning, this morning II stood at 12.9. The marshal apneareth with blood In his eve and declareth agin' the bicycles. Today Is the last day of grace,. Keep off the sidewalks tomorrow or pay your line. The dinins car came through on this afternoon's west-bound. The car is aid to be a beautiful oue; but not being invited to partake of its contents, we cannot say as to the puddin' contained therein. A special train, consisting of five cars, nassed through the city Hying last night about 10 o'clock. On board was the Ilostonlan opera company, and lis said they made the trip from Portland to Umatilla In six hours. The transciict of the condemnation proceeding In the case of V. S. vs. Pen- fert, composed of seventy-eight pages, is now at the clerk's office in this city to be recorded. This Is the case in which $.)000 was allowed by the government for the Seufert property over which tbe boat railway is proposed to lie built. Last evening about 7 o'clock, at his home on the corner of Tenth and Union streets, Justice of the Peace P.ayard per formed the ceremony which united in marriage Geor E. Mann and Nettie May Cook. The groom is a young farmer who now hat a place near the English farm, eight miles from tin city; while the bride is the second daughter 01 O. W.Cook, of 3-Mile. California strawberries are making their appearance in our markets ; but as I yei lew Oregon berries are seen. Ist 'Tuesday Mrs. Covmton picked a few from her vines and Friday there were . some brought in from Seufert'a place. raruie'S along Miltcreek report their crop alumet ruined by the late frosts. Sindoi saya he has lost about foOO from damage to bis berries, as but a tew es caped. There'il be an eniting time at the old fairground on theafternoon of Mav 30th ! if tin. ni.i..l.lt.n. t , ; . .. viup.u.rt vi .1. .u. tt llliaillS X Co.'s store accept the challenge ot the boys at Mays & Clowe's. AVlun hard ware challenges lrv g-xnli, something iniiEt "drap." The young ladies are al ready anxious to determine what Iheir colors will be. "Afte' the ball" they'll probably be black and blue. Another question is, which are the favorites? Capt. W. S. Hart, who has charge of the rivers and harbors of the Pacific coast, spent yesterday in The Dalles. He was here for the purpose of looking over the proposed railway above The Dalles. While the ship railway was knocked out by congress at its recent session, those who ougtit to know seem to think that if tbe people were to peti tion congress regarding the boat rail way, that they would prevail. Would it not be a good plan to seo what can be done? The tenth annual junior exhibition of the University of Oregon took place in Eugene Friday evening. Among the names of the orators were those of Homer D. An?ell and Mies Daisie Alia way, of The Dalies. The former took as his subject "The Prospective Relations Between the United States and the Far East," and the latter "Oregon Scenery in Poetry." The students who are at tending the university from The Dalles are such as are a credit to any town and we are proud of their attainments. Sheepsbearing is now starting up in Klickitat, says Mr. Alex. Hamilton, the sheep inspector, who has just returned from an official trip. The sheep are in a very good condition in the main and but very little scab prevails. The two principal points for shearing this season will he in the vicinity of Pleasant and Blockhouse. Probably the greater number will be sheared at the former station. The wool from both places will be hauled to The Dalles. The market is not booming and wool sales will be slow. Agriculturalist. Travel to tbe seaside this season will not only be expeditious, but unprece dentedly comfortable. The convenience of railroad travel is already a matter of one season's experience; and to this fa cility is this yeai to be added the O. R. & N.'s roomy and luxuriously appointed steamer Hasealo, whose unofficial trial trip yesterday developed phenomenal speed. All such' encouragements as these to the rest and relaxation of sum mer outings are means of grace to a too-busy generation. The average Amer ican needs nothing more than to take a day off aM renew both mind and body. Oregonian. George H. Hiinef, who is so well known over Oregon as one of the early pioneer printers, and who is so thor oughly conversant with everything con nected with the early history of our state, is in the city today. He is as sistant secretary of the Oregon Histori cal Society, and comes here in its in terest. On June 15th the association will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the United States extending territor ial jurisdiction over Oregon and the fortieth anniversary of the admission of Oregon as a state. All persons who came to, or were born in tbe original territory of Oregon prior to February 14, 1859, are eligible to membership in the association, Arthur, youngest son of Capt. and Mrs. Waud, celebrated his tenth birth day at his home on Fourth and Liherty streets Saturday afternoon by giving a Dawey party to some of his boy friends. Part of the time was spent In games and music, until Mr. Kinersly arrived and took their pictures, after which they were seated at the table, where an ele gant lunch was prepared, which only Dewey boys can enjoy. The table was decorated with cut flowers and flags. The young Deweys were waited upon by Miss Bertha Geer.of Portland, and Fred and Hazel Waud. Those invited were Mrs. Myers, his Sunday School teacher, Guy Douthit, Raymond Neil, Raymond and Ernest Halfpapp, Pearly Haslem, Lindon Garrison, Clinton Bradshaw, Roger and Ted SeuTert, Guy Jones, Henry and Adolph Bnchler, Harry Wallher, Johnny Stevens, Frederick Bronson, James Kinersly, Lawrence Mo Arthur and Earl Swain. For tome fime past the Taine class has been taking up a course of papers relative to the early hintory of Oregon, which have proven at once interesting and instructive. The subjects so far treited have been: "Prehistoric Dis coveries," "Discovery of the Columbia," "Expeditions of Lewis and Clark," "Settlement of Astoria," "Early Explo rations Prei.iissionary, "Methodist Mil lions Under Jason Lee and Reinforce ments," Whitman and Spaulding and Siicc.-Mor," "Provisional Government," "Printing and Newspapers," "Emigra tions," "Historical lieminifeenees," "The Ashhurton Treaty," Others which are yet to be taken up will be : 'Tbytical Characteristics of Oiegon Reference to Climate, Agriculture, Mioet, Forests, Commerce and Trade," "The Jetty at the Mouth of the Columbia Construc tion, He," "Louiiana Purchase," "Set tlement of Frenth Prairie." It is the intention to give at least two public lectures in tbe near future, to which the class will invite all interested as we all are. The first will probably be by Prof. Lyman, of Whitman College, who it a very interesting speaker. He will lecture cn May l'.th, taking as hit subject "Benjamin Franklin, the Typical American Statesman." Another lecture, which cannot fail to interest, will be one by George H. Himes on "The History of the Literature of Oregon." He will no doubt be here on May 22d. Tuoduy Dally. N. M. Lane it erecting a neat little residence on the bluff, east of Academy Park. John Andersin, who was arrested last nit lit by Nightwatchman Phirman for being drunk and disorderly, appeared before tbe recorder this morning and was discharged. An order goes into effect ov-r the entire Southern Pacific system Ju elst, closing bar-rooms located t,t stations rn property owned by the company and conducted under lease from them. Lte last night Jim Cox, a negro boot black, became too hilariously drunk and upon being protested with by a bar tender, finally threw a rock at him. This morning Marshal Lauer arrested him and he was fined f5. Being unable to pay his fine he will be compelled to occupy tbe jail for the next two days. The wind still continues to "blow where it listeth" and it certainly listeth in Tbe Dalles, for we have scarcely had a day for weeks when it has not blown as if possessed. We are told however, that its "an ill wind that blows nobody good," and therefore should refrain from kicking" at it, as kicks seem to be use less as far as stopping its onward course is concerned. Saturday night the members of tbe 3-Mile Sunday school gave a "box social" at their school house for the benefit of their school. The room was fairly packed, and everybody seemed to have a Bplendid time. A number of the young people from our city attended and made the bidding for baskets lively. At its close it was discovered $26 had been taken in, which will prove a goodly sum to carry on tbe work. We clip from the Greenburg, Ind., Standard tbe following notice concern ing a Dalles young lady who is now visiting there and whose talents seem to be gaining favor for her abroad at well as at home: "In addition to our local talent honoroble mention is due Miss Georgia Sampson, of Tbe Dalles, Oregon, who is the guest of relatives here. She was the leading lady in the vaudeville specialties and wat repeatedly encored for her splendid work." Strangers who visit The Dalles always express surprise that a town of its size is so favored with telephones, which is accounted for by the fact that the price is so reasonable. From a directory which this office :s now getting out for the. Oregon Telephone Company we notice that they are soon to offer a resi dence rate of $1 a month, and as they are securing additional subscribers every day, it will soon result In a much larger telephone system than we now have. Stand by your home merchant. He is the man. who helps to pay for the streets on which you walk, for the schools in which your children are edu cated; helps to keep up the church in which yon worship; he it the man who built a home which enhances the value of your property; eveiy subscription paper that is passed has his name on it; he it the man who cannot afford to swindle you, self-interest if nothing else would prevent it; he bears his share of the city government ; stays right by you in sunshine and in darkness, and days of prosperity and advereity. These are but a few reasons why your patronage should be given to the home merchant. Already the base ball game is assum ing very interesting proportion! and A. M. .Williams & Co.'t team accept the challenge given yesterday for the 30th. The Mays & Crowe tide of the diamond announce that they are re ceiving sealed proposals for "rooters," and give it out that their colors will not be black and blue, but blue and gold. We always knew the firm was composed I of gold bugs, but didn t know tney would carry that political preference In to the baseball field, but perhaps they don't intend to be fielders. Later couieth A. M. Williams A Co. and announced! that all who expect to stand by them should appear with the shades of scarlet and purple in evidence. We are also Informed that E. O. McCoy hat kindly consented to umpire the games. While at Fort Steele, B.C., Sunday the Metropolitan opera company, which vis ted The Dallea in March, and which we hoped would again play i:i our city, met with a runaway accident, causing the teriout injury of the leading soprano, Miss Millard, ami Miss Colby, a chorus girl. The former had her left arm broken, and the latter her right leg, while she was also injured internally. Will Risling, who took the part of the "Peppo" in "Mascot," was also tlightly Injured. The accident occurred on a tteep hill about four miles from Fort Steele. The members of tbe opera com pany were journeying from Cranbrook to Fort Steele hy stage. In miking the dtscent cf the hill the borset suddenly took fright and ttarted to run away. The driver wat ouable tocontrol them. From past experience with Dalles people we take it for Kranted that they will be pleased to learn that a dramatic performance it toon to be given by home talent. It hat been decided to give a play called "A Summer Fancy" on Wednetday evening at the Vogt. the proceeds to be used at a fund for enter taining the editorial association while in this city. Thi will assist greatly in the expenses and at the same time the people will receive something in return for their money. The plav will be givtn under the direction of Mr. P. II. Levin, who from long experience on the stage, is thoroughly competent to give the needed instruction. He is a splendid actor himself and will take dirt of the leading parts, while the remainder of the cast will be made lip principally of members of the Home Dramatic Club. Anvuhomav le loath to pnrt with those delight fui little ever present stay ers, which have so long strew n the path of the traveler through the streets of our city, and who feel that they could not enjoy a drive unless they are permitted to skim over the smooth surface of the rocka in our streets, had better hasten to to improve the opportunity afforded while yet they may be found, for the inarshftl has started a war on them, and now has a force of men at work removing the same. The question heretofore has always been, what was their mission in the first place? Will Carleton says, "II you w ant a man to enjoy heaven, just give him fifteen minutes in hell," and it may be they were strewn promiscuously about that we might more thoroughly appreciate their absence when they are removed. Blue It out! at Lt. A REVIVAL. Tor lha Ha.Mt or Oar Cltj-Lat All Aatkiioil I'm oa lha Armor. The blue rose, which, with the black, has to long been the subject of horti cultural research, has made its appear ance in Bulgaria, a district renowned for its attar of roses. The owner of the blue rose is M. Stantcheff, who when visiting his collections one day noticed on a bush that had hitherto pro duced blooms of pale rose color live greenish-blue roses of a hue recalling the delicate tints of the turquoise. Samples of the soil wherein this rare plant has grown have been sent to tit) chemical laboratory of Sofia to be mi nutely analyzed. It is known to be rich in lime, ammonia, salts of copper and oxide of iron. Farm lor Male. Six miles south of Tie Dalles, com posed of 495 acres 200 in grain and 100 in summer (allow.

A little of Schilling's Best spices baking powder soda and flavoring extracts goes a long way. They are strong. m For sal by Yandugn, Adams & Co. Tyeh Valley, Ore, Thenewpapers of The Dalles have long U-eu infill upon the people the nee esrity of inducing the establishment of manufacture, -tc., in our city by for-. eigu capital. The Dallea being to tignal ly blessed with natural advantages ha been the cause of much of the lethargy noticeable iu our citizens, but iu spite of their inactivity the town hai held it own. However, at Craudall A Burget told us for so many years in their ad vertisement, "there it a tido in the af fair! of men, etc. ;" it has come to Tbe Dalits, aud we must get in it, or we'll be left hiiih and dry. Our business men are awakening to this fact ; and Thursday evening Mr. G. J. Farley came before the Commercial Club and presented a splendid proposi tion for assisting the city to match for ward and be what it was intended it should be oue of the foremost manu facturing cities in the yes, the world. The principal drawback to the es tablishment of these industries in our midst hat ever been that when a propo sition was made by foreign capital, no inducement was given them by our own people, but rather have they be.'n dis couraged in the idea, and they would turn their backs on the very situation which would have been the place offer ing the most natural advantages acd where success would be assured from the very nature of things. Every plan for overcoming this diffi culty which has so far been advanced, has received littlo support from our townspeople. Mr. Farley't plan, how ever, seems to meet their approval, and recommends itself Iroiu the fact that it has been so successfully tried in many neighboring towns. The idea is to raise a subsidy to be held in reserve so that w hen any individual or corporation pro poses to establish manufactories in our midst, there may be tome financial In ducement offered. To accomplish this it is proposed to assess resident as follows: Property owners on Second street $1 for every foot ot land owned, which would amount to about $5000. This would not include non-resident owners. Business houses, from $10 to $100, aggregating $5000. Professicnal men, $10, amounting to $500. House holders, $1 each $2050. Clerks and employes, $1 to $2 $1000. All other resources about $1,500. In this manner a sum amounting to about $15,000 cou d be raised. This sum to be placed in tbe hands of a reliable committee, with proper security, otc. No doubt many will look upon this with disfavor, from the fact that taxes are already so high in The Dalles that they are a burden on property owners, which is undoubtedly too true. How ever, the burden of this scheme will fall upon the property owners on Second Btreet, the heaviest of which have al ready acquiesced, and surely those who have the lighter burden will help sus tain it for the sake of the benefit to be derived In the future. It was arranged that a rally meeting; be held at the club rooms on Saturday, May I3tb, when every member will be expected to attend and the matter be thoroughly discussed. We trust, as the ministers say, "all will be endowed with a revival spirit," and attend prepared to co operate for the good of our city. WHOLESALE. RETAIL.
