The wreck of the Glota National

furnish a valuable lesson for the teen

And, to look buck a generation, this

It is alleged that Banker Cole used
$300,000 of other people's monej to
speculate with on the Boston stock
exchange. If his financial schemes
bad turned out all light the people
who furnished the money would not
have benefited a dollar beyond the
small interest allowed on their de
posits. If he lost, and it seems that
be did, inuocent and industrious
is an interesting phase of social evo
lution. For December 23, 1G.2,
Evelyn has this entry in his diary:
"Cbrislrras day. No sermon any

open, so I observed at home. The
next day we went to Lewcsbam,
where an honest divine preached."
The England of that particular day

15ih the battleship was blown up
and 2GC men of the crew either were
killed outright or perished later from
wounds in the explosion. History

tbe time of the new departure of the
United States in national policy, for

the entertainment which is born of
variety. His first selection was Riley's
"Litlltf Wfslny'i Absence," which
was greatly in contrast with the latter,
a travesty en the tchool buys' declama
tions, displaying great versatility.
Another member who is indispensable
to the succeta of the club is Mr. Arthur
L. Frazer, the pianist. As listener
was heard to remark, he can "claw
ivory." His execution is remarkable,
particularly in so young a pianist.
These two artists, Eaton and Frazsr,
appeared at the close in a traveetry on
"Iugoniar," which was at once amusing
and meritorious. Tbe costumes were
well gotten np and the entire production
rendered admirably. Those who have
heard "Ingomar" scarcely recognized
beneath tbe play of words the real senti
ment intended, and "Parthenia'a" defi
nition of love as an "itching of the heart
that can't be scratched" was entirely
new to them.
At the close of the concert the mem
bers of the High school aluranl and a
number of their friends received the
members of the club in the parlors of
Mrs. E, M. Wilson's home, which was
very prettily decorated with evergreen
and holly, and where an hour was spent
in social greeting, which was most
pleasant. A short program was given
and refreshments served. It was grati
fying to those who were preeent to meet
the9t) yjnng men who are endeavoring
to make the most of life, and they in
turu expressed their appreciation of the
greeting received.

The object of the annual holiday tours
thus made by the stadenta la mostly of a
social nature; tending to bring tbe
students in touch with thn people of tbe
slate and through them to awaken a
deeper interest in the educational work
which the university is accomplishing.

the state was made; while the boys are
now visiting the towns in Eastern Ore

Again must we go away from home
to obtain the news, that is with sufficient
assurance to give them to our readers.
While the reporter was given an Idea
yesterday that the D. P. & A. N. Co.
was about to have a new boat built; nt
the same time wo were ciutioned:
"Don't say anything about it until
more definite arrangements are made,"
and so we obeyed ; but evidently the
same injunction was not given the Tele
gram, for last night's edition says:
"Plans for the new boat to be built for
The Dalles, Portland & Astoria Naviga
tion Company have been changed, aud
the will be a propeller instead of a
stern-wheeler. The boat will be built
something like the Inland Flyer.but will
be an improvement in every respect.
The dimensions will be: Length, 130
feet; breadth, 19 feet; draft, 6 feet 0
inches. She w ill be 20 feat longer than
the Flyer and one foot greater breadth.
"The additional length gives room
for many improvements. Joseph Sup
ple, who will build her, has a model
which shows that she will have lines
like a racing shell. The stern, instead
of being cut oil short, as in the case of
the Inland Flyer, will exteud out grace
full? over the water. This will allow
the use of a Case wteel; that is. the
propeller, instead of being directly under
the stern, will be far under the boat, as
is the case in torpedo-boats, And will al
ways be under water, nr matter how
the vessel rocks. Tho rudder will also
be well under the stern ; In the vase of
the Inland Flyer it was bung right at
the stern.
"The engines of the Flyer will be
used, but there will be additional boiler
power. The boat -wl'.' have two decks,
an elegant dining-room and kitchen,
and a promenade deck occupying the
space below, and on the npper deck will
be the ladies' cabin and the genllemeu's
smoking-room. Half a dozen bertha
are also piovided.
"A draft of the boat as she will appear
when completed shows that she will be
a beauty. It is the intention of tbe D.
P. & A. X. Co. to spare no expense, and
she will be made luxurious and elegant
throughout. She will be built to catch
the tourist trade, which increases year by
year as the fame of Oregon's Columbia
river scenery spreads abroad.
"Mr. Supple will put on about 15 men
next week and tbe new boat will be
begun immediately. She is to be com
pleted to turn over to the owners by
April. The contract was signed at The
Dalles yesterday."
