The 1001 edition of the Columbia desk
calendar is being distributed by the
American Bicycle Oo., Columbia Sales
Department, Hartford, Conn. It will
be sent to any address opon receipt of
five two-cent stamps. This unique and
useful compilation has been issued an
nually for the last sixteen years and it
has come to be regarded as an indispen
sable article in many business offices
and homes. ,
One of the great successes in the
larger cities last season was "Ilumau
Hearts," which is underlined for the
Vogt next Monday night. Possibly the
truest standard by which to judge a
play is to watch the impression it makes
upon an audience. While an author
naturally desires the approval of the
critical few, it is the verdict of the many
which makes or mars. Measured by
the rule of the majority, "Human
Hearts" is a successful play and is des
tined to linger in pleasurable memory,
Now that we have fully recovered
from the shock we received when the
census bureau announced that the pop
ulation of The Dalles was only 3542,
when we thought, sure, it ought to be
at least a thousand more, we rise to re
mark that we accept the returns with
all the grace possible, nnder the circum
stances, and demand that the world
and its wives shall take due notice, now
and forever, that The Dalles is the sixth
city in population of the greatest and
happiest commonwealth on the Ameri
can footstool.
It is not generally known that there
are two orders of Woodmen in the city.
There arr two, and they are not con
nected in any way. One is the Modern
Woodmen, instituted in this city about
two years ago; and the other is the
Woodmen of the World, which was
instituted here in 1800. The Woodmen
of the World is the only strictly order
for men in the citv that carries a reserve
fund. It has paid over two millipn dol
lars to widows and orphans in the last
ten years, furnishes an enduring monu
ment to its deceased members and is
the order fur which Mr. Meakin lectured
Monday ovening.

The Fossil Journal says It is proposed
to haye a meeting of natives of Scotland
on Saturday, Dec. 29tb, in Fossil. Scots
from Gilliam and Wasco counties will be
heartily welcome. A good time is prom
ised, and it is probable that a Burns
club will be organized at the meeting.
Superintendent Ormsby, of the Cas
cade reserve and Supervisor Dufur re
cently nude a tour of investigation
through that part of the eastern slope of
the reserve that is under Mr. Dnfur's
jurisdiction in order to obtain some
special data for the information of the
department. They found very little snow
anywhere except upon the summit.
The last chapter in the history of Ta
coma's shocking' street car accident
Fourth of July last was written the
other day when the street car company
compromised with the victims and heirs
of victims and took the cases out of
court. One hundred thousand dollars
is a pretty stiff figure to fpay because of
defects in rollin, stock, but the lesson
will not be wasted on other companies
io the same business.
The football game between the high
schools of Portland end The Dalles is
"off." Portland claimed some of our
boys belonged to the "first team" and
refused to meet them. The Portland
boys should bve shown better nerve,
even if they went down to defeat. Their
refusal to play renders it more than
likely that a game will be pulled oft
Christmas between The Dalles and
Multnomah's second eleven.
The mason work of the water closet
building for the Court street public
school is finished and the carpenters are
putting on the roof, while another force
of men are at work laying the sewer.
The closets, which have been ordered
from the Kast.are duplicates of those
which have given good satisfaction in
the high school building. The school
directors 'are to be congratulated for re
sponding to the wishes of the people in
having this very important and neces
sary improvement acctmplithed.

panied the boys, as the Heppner papers
have it, to play center. That announce
tneut ought to draw well, as the Hepp
ner people know Mr. Patterson has
more fat than muscle, and they would
be tickled to see the youngsters crawl
all over him. However, "Pat," we aie
well assured, will take due' care that if

A number of Modern Woodmen of this
city take exception to a paragraph that
apeared in yesterday's Chboniclk which
drew a comparison between Modern
Woodmen and Woodmen of the World
that was quite unfavorable to the former.
The paragraph was handed in for pub
lication and the writer of it was assumed
to be familiar with the facts, aud bo it
was allowed to go to press without in
vestigation. The truths appears to be
that the order of Modern Woodmen Is
older than the Woodmen of the World by
.Avon puuib Thn T ru I m r n W (t ninn I
organized January 5, 1SS3, while the
Woodmen of the World, Pacific Juris
diction, was organized January 28, 1890.
Both have reserve funds. The order of
Woodmen of the World has paid over
two million dollars to widows and or
phans during the ten years of its exist
ence. The order of Modern Woodmen
hae paid to similar beneficiaries $17,359,
409.30 during the seventeen years of its
existence. Both are good orders. Both
are doing good work and there ought to
be no jealousy between tbem.

Trie new postofBce of Wrentham is
proving a very great convenience to the
farmers of that neighborhood. J. C.
Johnson called at this office Thursday
to have the address of his paper changed
to Wrentham. He remarked that for

The Dalles for his mail, which meant a
day lost. Now he has only to travel
four.
Mrs. Alice Simmons dind In this city
this morning of consumption, aged
about 30 years. She returned about ten
days ago from the Good Samaritan Hos
pital, whither she had been taken in
hope of relief, but her case was beyond
human help. She leaves a husband,
who deserted her several years ago, and
two children, who are being cared for at
the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. The
funeral will take place at 2 o'clock to
morrow alternoon.
Secretary Dosch, of the Oregon state
board of horticulture has recently fin
ished his report of the work done in his
office during the past years He finds
that notwithstanding the apple crop of
1900 was one of the largest ever pro
duced in the United States, there is no
cry of over production. First-class four
tier apples are now selling in Portland
at from 85 cents to $1.50 a box, for ship
ment east and to Europe, and in a short
time, he says, they will reach a higher
figure.
- "Human Hearts," which comes to the
Vogt opera bouse Monday, Dec. 17tb, Is
one of those plays which will live for
years because there is nothing vulgar,
crude or coarse in it. It is not filled
with melodramatic clap-trap, it is singly
a wholesome, heartsome play a story
from life, in which the characters are
human and natural, which when coupled
with faultless presentation by so capable
a company of players makes it a play
that everybody should see.
The Shaniko Leader says: "Mr. Fen
Batty has rented the new brick hotel
and is now in Portland purchasing new
furniture for the house. Mr. Batty is
well and favorably known by tho travel
ing public, and has bad years of experi
ence in the hotel business. Under his
management the hotel is an assured
success f-om the start. No better man
in the stale could ba at the head of the
house, and it will he opened to the pub
lic as soon as it can he furnished."
i The Pino Grove correspondent of the
j Hood l!vr ;Kc:er says : To the credit

predict that the time Is not far distant
when it will cost them $3. The timber
in close proximity to the river is becom
ing very scarce, and when it in necessary
to go farther back In the goods, the ex
pense of hauling will naturally raise the
price.
Wireless telegraphy Is an assured fact,
says a recent dispatch from Honolulu.
The system is completed between Oahu
and Moiokai, and regular communica
tion established. The system connect
ing tho islands of Hawaii, Maui, Molo
kia and Oahu is nearing completion.
Manager Cross states that he thinks
that wireless telegraphy will be so per
fected that it will be possible to tele
graph from Honolulu to San Francisco
before It would be possible to lav a ca
ble, and is satisfied that In a very short
time it will be the message Bending sys
tem of the world.
The Salem Statesman siys there are
prospects that the fljx industry, both
raising and manufacturing, w ill be taken
hold of by practical paitfes in the Wil
lamette valley. It may turn out that
the partial failure of the wheat crop in
that' district last year was a blessing in
disguise, if so be it shall turn the atten
tion of the valley farmers to an industry
to fhicb all the conditions of soil and
climate are adapted. These are remark
ably similar to those of the north of Ire
land, one of the greatest flax-producing
districts on the globe.
The second annual meeting of the Ore
gon Historical society will be held in
the lecture roqm of the First Con
gregational church in Portland tomor
row at 2 o'clock p. m. After transacting
the usual business, electing officers and
receiving reports from the officers, an
historical paper will be presented by
Mrs. E. M. Wilson, of this city, after
which it is expected that there will be a
few informal talks by persons intimately
associated with the early history of the
state. All who attend this meeting are
requested to visit the Historical Societv
rooms in the city hall immediately after
adjournment.

WimtKAM, By a terrible accident on
December 1, 1900, Brother M. A. Cush
ing was suddenly removed from this
earthly bunting grounds to the great
reservation of the land of spirts ; and
WiiKUE.ks, Brother M. A. Cusbing
was a true Red Man aud s good citizen
therefore be it
Rttohtd, That in the death of Brother
M. A. Cushing Wasco Tribe has lost an
exemplary exponent and the country a
good and honest citizen. And be it fur
ther llatolved, That while as Red Men we
believe the Great Spirit rules and guides
the affairs of men wisely and to their
best interests, we nevertheless greatly
deplore the death of our brother and
heartily sympathize with Lis family in
their irreparable loss. And be it aUo

A Handioms Monument.
One of the handsomeet monuments in
the Odd Fellows' cemetery has recently
been erected by J. II. Sherar. It is a
massive monolith of dark Quiucey gran
ite, standing eight and a half feet in
height and weighing 7000 pounds.'
Apart from the quality of its workman
ship its beauty lies in its chaste sim
plicity. It is erected In the center of
the Sherar lot aud bears the name
"Sherar" on the west side and "Herbert"
on the cast. On the latter lide were
recently deposited the remains of the
deceased members of the Herbert family
which had been interred in part at
Dufur and in part in tho old Dalles City
cemetery. These are George F. Herbert,
aged 53 years snil Elizabeth Cates, a;ed
81 years, father and mother of Mrs.
Sherar ; besides their children, James A.,
aged 12 years ; Itachel Ann, aged 8 years ;
Pauline Ada, aged 7 years; Loyal P.,
aged ."years; an infant child and Emma
Reynolds, an adopted daughter. The
west sido of the lot is without an occu
pant and the many friends of Mr. and
Mrs. Sherar devoutly pray that it may
long remain po. The lot is surrounded
with a low wall of Snake lliver granite,
that in its severe simplicity corresponds
handsomely with the monolith. The
monument and (nice woik is from the
sho of Watts Huston, of this city,
and are a credi to the establishment.
