of Dalles people whether John Hamp
shire could attempt anything in the line

is said, equals, if not surpasses, his for
mer work.

preachers may be able to afford the
luxury of a trip to the metropolis.

in some sections of Southern Oregon
and done some damage in several locali
ties in Eastern Oregon. Speaking of
the Hood River valley the report says:
"The valley was visited by stinging
frosts Monday and Tuesday morning,
but the damage done was slight. Winter
apples are unhurt. Early apples,
peaches, pears and prunes were consid
erably thinned, but tbey will make a
good crop if not injured further. Early
strawberry bloom was killed, which iill
put the crop back about two weeks."
Deputy Sheriff Sexton went out to
Kingsley this morning to bring in Will
iam Greenley, of that place, who is re

an old man of close to 70 years. He has
a son in fhe Salem asylum, and the
father, although harmless, has been a
fit candidate for that place for some
time. Greenley has lately fallen into
the habit of wandering aimlessly wround
the country of nights and (pending
most of bis time in the King3ley cemc
tery. He has an aged wife who,' in
spite of his mental aberration, has
hitherto re.fiiH '"i. abandon him, not

comfortable home for the rest of her
davs with a brother In the Willamette
vallev. i
At the meeting of those interested in
organizing a Dalles brunch of the Y. M.
C. A., held in the Congregational church
last night, after an address from Secre
tary Stone, of the Portland Y. M. C. A.,
and protracted discussion by citizens of
The Dalles, it was definitely resolved to
organize and committees were appoint
ed to carry the resolution into effect.
A committee on membership wilt see
how many members can be obtained ; a
committee on finance will look after the
ways and means, and a third committee
will confer with the directors of the
Commercial Club and ascertain definite
ly under what conditions the new or

leges ot the lower floor of the club room
and the use of the athletic and other
appliances. These committees will re
port to another meeting to be held !n
the Congregational church next Tuesday
evening
The Dalles has a new company of local
minstrels that are deserving of a little
free advertising. The company is com
posed of about ten Dalles youngsters and
the star artists, or proprietors, or both,
are Katy Nolan and Percy Long. They
are billed to give two entertainments
here next Saturday in the vacant store
building across the alley south of the
Columbia hotel. There will be a mat
nee in lbs afternoon and an entertain
ment in the evening. The price of ad
mission is five cents and about (6 worth
of tickets have been already sold. The
proceeds will be given to the Catholic
Orphans' Home at Portland. Patrons
are promised the usual program of songs,
dances, cake-walks and original gags,
and there is not a doubt in the world
that they w ill get the full worth of the
five cents admission fee.

windows decorated with a lot of Indian

an educated high muck-a-mnck of the
same tribe, both of whom are now in
Washington on some land matters, the
guests of General Miles. The artist is
an ex-Indian agent of the Umatillas and
now clerk of the supreme court. He is

famous "Caynse Twins" have brought
m enough to build a $5000 house.
Homo time ago the proprietors of Mel-
lln's Food offered him $1000 for the
copywrlght of the "twins." The '7an-
nainaker department store of Philadel-
hia lately ordered 10,000 copies of the
pictures, 6,000 of'each. Mr. Moore has
ade a little fortune out of his amateur
ihotography. Mr. Donnell claims to

F. S. Gunning has one of the most
complete blacksmith shops in the state
He has just rigged up a water motor of
his own invention and attached to it a
trip hammer that not only saves a heap
of elbow grease but it is claimed hammers
out a plow Bbare and does other similar
work that cannot be approached by
hand. Another attachment is a big
emery wheel that would almost grind
the rough edges off a Populist and still
another, sets of drills, of all sizes needed
in blacksmith and wagon work. With
all this apparatus Fred can do better
work and more of it than can possibly
be done by hand.
The Davidson Fruit Company at Hood
River has furnished about 75,000 to
mato plants to farmers who are going

surprised to find the conditions for a
combination railroad and wagon bridge
favorable beyond their expectations.

sion bridge were all that could be
desired.

freeze of Saturday night week worked a
terrible havoc with the fruit in that

the least the freeze has cost the Yakima
fruit growers many thousand dollars.

$40,536; Portland, $204,444; Seattle,
$153,053; Spokane, $92,144; Tacoma.
$62,051. It is to be seen that Portland
leads Seattle by over $50,000, which
gives an idea of the business between
the two towns.
Tammany contractors on the Croton

The following from yesterday even
ing' Telegram rtter to the play to be
reproduced here on Wednesday and
Thursday of next wit k :
"A large audience gathered at the Y.
M. C. A. last evening to witness the
Passion Play, as it was portrayed by a
series ot moving pictures. The scenes
were taken from the play as It was ren
dered at Oherammergau, Bavaria, in
1890. The most noteworthy events in
the life of Christ were given. The story
was told by Mrs. Laura Holmes.
"The shepherds, startled by the blaze
of the star of Bethlehem, were repre
sented by the first view. The next was
Mary, presjnting the baba in the tem
ple. This waj followed by the attempt
ed assassination by an emissary of
Herod, and the flight into Egypt.
"Christ was shown In the midst cf
his disciples entering Jerusalem in tri
umph, preceded by a shouting throng.
The raising of Lazarus from the dead,
the last supper and the betrayal by
Judas were very realistic.
"The scenes at the condemnation of
Christ and the crucifixion visibly affect
ed the audience. Women wept as the
Savior was being spiked to the cross.
The resurrection and.aaconBion followed.
"Pictures taken during the Spanish
American war were presented as a pre
liminary to the Passion Play. Pictures
of the first American soldiers landing
on Cuban soil, the bombardment of the
fortifications by the dynamite-boat Ves
uvius, and the sinking of the Viccaya,
were heartily applauded."
Death of Mra. IV. L. Bradshaw,
Thursday's Dally.
After a long and painful Illness of
many months, Sarah Eiiza Bradshaw,
the beloved wife of Judge W. L. Brad
shaw, departed this life at 7:45 this
morning at the family residence in this
city.
The deceased is the daughter of Dr.
II. R. Littlefield, of Portland. She was
born in Chicago May 25, I860, and
married to W. L. Bradshaw at Lafay
ette, October 9, 1883. She leaves a hus
band, a son, Clinton, aged about 10
years, and Clara Davis, a niece of Judge
Bradshaw, who has grown up from
childhood with her aunt and been al
ways treated as a daughter. Besides
these Immediate members of the family,
Mrs. Bradshaw leaves a father and three
brothers, H. J. Littlefield, ol Newberg,
Professor E. V. Littlefield. of McMmn-
ville, and Dr. Harry A. Littlefield, of
Portland.
More than a year ago Mrs. Bradshaw
was attacked with consumption. She
visited the Winyah Sanitarium, North
Carolina, and remained there for three
months. But it was too late, and about
soven weeks ago Bhe returned to her
home with the full consciousness that
there was no hope.
A large circle of ardently attached
friends and neighbors mourn the de
parture of Mrs. Bradshaw as a personal
loss, and the sympathy of this commu
nity goes out to the surviving members
ot the family.
The funeral will take place from the
house tomorrow (Friday) at 2 o'clock p.
m. The interment will take place at
the Odd Fellows cemetery and the eer
vices will be conducted bv Rev, D. V.
Poling.
Dr. Harry Littlefield has been with
his sister since her return from the san
itarium. Her father and two brothers
from Yamhill county are expected on
the evening train.
Laid to Beat,
Friday's Daily.
The funeral of the late Mrs. W. L.
Bradshaw took place this afternoon
from the family residence. It was
very largely attended and many were
unable to go out to the cemetery because
of the inability to procure vehicles. The
banks and business houses closed from
1 :30 to 4.
The services at the house were con
ducted by Rev. D. V. Poling. His ad
dress was a tender and impressive eulogy
ot the deceased. The musical selections
were all of Mrs. Bradshaw's choosing,
opening with "Lead Kindly Light" by
members of the Congregational choir
and Mr. C. J. Crandall ; followed, after
a scriptural (election and prayer, by the
chaut "Tby Will Be Done," and, after
the address, by "Rock of Ages," sung at
the special request of the deceased, by
Mrs. B. S. Huntington, Mrs. E. M.
Williams, Miss Cushing, Dr. O. D.
Doane and Mr. C. J. Crandall.
The coffin was surrounded by an im
mense wealth of floral tributes of many
beautiful designs, that of themselves
bore silent but effective testimony to
the place the departed held In the hearts
of her acquaintances in the The Dalles.
A fairy Tale.
Yesterday evening's Telegram had a
blood curdling tale of the narrow escape
of the Regulator last Sunday from anni
hilation on the huge boulders of the mad
cross-currents of the Three-Mile rapMs.
The scare head will indicate sufficiently
the marvel. ms imaginative power of the
Telegram reporter. Here it is :
"Steamer Regulator Had Narrow Es
cape." "Laid AlmoBt on Her Beam
Ends In Three-Mile Rapids" "She
Was Attempting to Take a Load of Rail
road Ties Above The Dalles for Portage
Railroad Became Unmanageable la
Swift Cross-Currents Nearly Crashed
Against Huge Bcnldurs."
Then follow s the tale of the steamer
becoming unmanageable and shifting;
her cargo til! she careened over to far
th;t four feet of the guard rail waa
foiccd uu.ler the water," and "heavy
sticks were thrown In the way ot the
crew so that it was Impossible for them
for some minutes tooflYranj relief by
attempting to right the steamer," and
"the men in the hole were driven from
their position," and "steam was allowed
to drop," and' the boat lay helpless la
the mad current with her rail nnder
water," when Bhe finally, somehow,
"partially righted herself and struck
the bark track.
The story is colored powerfully. Turn
Chronicle has the very highest author
ity for faying that the Regulator waa
never in dancer for a moment, and
never for a moment was beyond the con
trol of the captain. That she rolled
heavily in the wild, cross currents while
turning around to come home, goes
without saying. All else, as told, is a
fairy tale.

Scenes from the famous "Passion
Ploy," as presented once every ten
years in the little village of Oberam
mergau, Bavaria, were reproduced at
St. Leo's church last night with the aid
of Edison's wonderful moving pictures.
The Savior's life, from the very
moment the shepherds first saw the star
of Bethlehem and heard the joyful
tidings of the birth of Christ, 'until the
sublime finale when the Redeemer slow
ly ascended to heaven, was shown by m
series of photographic tableaux. The
scenes of Christ's triumphal entry Into
Jerusalem, the raising of Lazerus from
the dead, the last supper, the trial and
condemnation, the awful journey to
Calvary, and finally, the crucifixion of
the Messiah, were all given on the
canvas. The expressions on the faces of
the actors in the great drama could be
distinctly seen, ami everything in the
pictures, the costumes, scenery, etc.,
wese strictly accurate. The originator
of the drama, from which these views
were taken, had twice been himself an
actor in the play as given by the
Bavarian peasants, and alter coming to
this country spent $125,000 In securing
costumes and scenery and necessary
paraphernalia for the production.
The views were made more interesting
by the lecture which was given at inter
vals during the play. Tacoma Ledger.
These movable picture views will be
produced at the Vogt opera house next
Wednesday and Thursday nights.
