On account of the lush which a'ways

Charles Johnson, who wont down with
the wrecker from hero yesterday after
noon to the scene of tho difficulty at
Chenoweth bridge, suffered a very pain
ful accident In having his thumb badly
mashed. He returner! on tho first pas

injured member. It was very badjy
hurt, but ho is in no danger of losing it.
The maneuvers of trains were some
what uncertain in The Dalles last even
ing, and passengers for No. 1 had quite
await at the Umatilla House, the train
arriving about 3:55, and leaving at about
8:15. Tho difficulty arose from trouble
at Chenoweth bridge, when at about 1
o'clock in the afternoon a defective rail
caused engine No.' 151, drawing freight
train 23, to be derailed, and with .t
three cars. Fortunately no one was
Injured and the track was cleared so
that No. I was allowed to leave hero at

due here at 7:05, arrived at 10:25, and
the midnight train on time.
We regret to learn that our friend,
H. R. Blue, of Wapinitia, was so un
fortunate as to have his hotel bnrnod at
that place Tuesday. We did not hear
how tho fire originated, but 'tis said it
is a total loss, as Mr. Blue was not In
sured. He, however, was at that time
arranging papers, etc., preparatory to
taking out insurance papers on the
hotel.
Today being the centennial anni

Conditions have changed, and It does
not now look very much as if Tbe Dalles
would have a green Christmas this year.
After all there is tver mingled with the
thought of Christmas the picture of
bous topi covered with snow, Bnd our
childish ideas of Santa Claus' sleig'i can
never give place to the commou back
orwheeVd vehicle; and to thrt is hope
tht at least upon that oicis on iri may
have enough snow to make a slight
cov-rin.j of white.
Much of thobeuuty of The Dalles is
in lis foliage, particularly the trees, ard
everyone regrets when property owners
find it necessary to cut down tho tall
poplars surrounding their lots. All day
today the beautiful trees which hate so
improved the appearance of tho court
house lot, have been falling under the
woodman's ax, and although every
pasrerby exclaimed "spare that tree,
no heed was given and they were
dragged to tho beach. This had become
necessary on account of the damage, to
the pavement from the Immense roots,
which wrre growing to such an ext?t
that in many places the walk was bad:y
cracked and raised so as to he uneven.
It will be several years before such
splendid shade can ogam Le provided.

Tho Dalles as represented by her
young citizens in attendance is most de
cidedly alive at the univertityof Ore

tho superior scholarship and determin

Of H. D. Angell little needs to be said.
The reputation he has made for himself
at tho university is not limit; d y even
the boundaries of the suite. ISy his
patient pertistnnce in tho face ol un
usual difficulties, added to his natural
superior intellectual gifts, hu has almost
overcomo every obstacle and attained to
almost every honor w hich he has sought.
Suffice it to say that he ranks as one cf
the very best students now In the uni
versity, and thi year as oditor-in-chief
of the Monthlv, bis influence ia far
reaching in student affair.
Mias Allawar, who will graduate this
year, has the reputation ol a firut clus
student and her talent in other linea is
shown by the fact that she is the choice
of the senior class as tin ir orator in the '
comiuii oratorical content. That she is
also proficient in dt bating is shown by
the able manner in which alio upheld
her side of tho immigration quetion in
the intcr-soclety debate.
Mr. Oeorgo K. Campbell ia s member
of the Jciior class. Ilia reputation for
rcholarship In the difficult course which
he hna chosen ia most enviable; his
record in all classes being that ol an A 1
student. He is also a prominent mem

He represented his r'as jiatt year in the

some of the braiuest young people of the

Wednesday's Dully.
Seventy-five young ladies, attired in
all aorta of costumes, from the most
beautiful to the most unique imaginable,
representing almost as many Dalles
business houses, filed down from the
stage at the Vogt last night as the Birg
feld oichestia played one ( f i's Inspiring
marches. Tho effect was very taking as
they marched down the aisles, and if
ever the business houses were brought
before the public in a novel manner, it
was ou this occasion.
At tbe close of the march the curtain
rose on a pretty scone, with Miss Riii h
seated ou a throne as queen of the
carnival, and attired In an elaborate
costume. She presided with a becoming
dignity. Little Leha Kelsay made a
cute little page and gave her address In
a distinct manner, which atone pleased
the audience. At a command from
. MeArthur, who represented the
"electric light company, she was fl Hided
in light, which illuminated tho tntire
tge.
Two by two the haracteis made the:r
appearance and in well chosen recita
tious or tongs advertised the firm w hich
they represented. Though In some in

I 'easing had they spoken in clearei
tones, the entire program was epltndid
and is deserving of a more extended
mention than c in well be iriven Iri the

I ulveralty of Oregon Glee Club.
A student from cur state unlveraitT
writes the Chhonici.b as follow :
Thursday, Dec. 28th, is the date on
which tho people of The Dalles will bw
privileged to listen to a concert given by
the Univerrity of Oregon Glee Club.
lhe club consists of sixtten young;
men of more than ordinary musical
ability whose voices blend so perfectly.
Besides their chorus tinging, au im
portant feature of the entertainment
will lie tho Impersonations of Allen
Eaton nnd the instrumental solos by
Arthur Fra.er.
Of Mr. Eaton it ia said, no one who
haa heard his rendering of a "Southern
Courtship" or "Tho Bashful Boy's First
Oration" will doubt for a moment that
this remarkable rnung man has a talent
in that lice ct work which will entitle
him 13 a place ami ng the pre eminent
artists of tbe profession. Certain it ia
that thera is a peculiar charm to hia
pet forma- ces which fafcinatea hia hear

Mr. Frazer's skill at tho piano is so
well known and admired here that it
seemes almost like telling over an old
story to say that his technique is con
sidered wonderful, his power over an
inrlligent audience amazing.
It is well to remember that the Uni
versity of Oregon Glee Club is better
thau ever before, and that its visit
among the towns of Oregon this winter
promises to be among the ilrst social
events of the season at the places fortu
