Pennoyer, for the 20th inst., for representative, because of a tie at the 2d election, Nov. 8th, between Byrd and Gowan. They are the standing candi-f dates. F. M. Thompson, stock inspector of Wasco county, has made the following appointments of deputies : Henry Darnielle, 8-Mile; Wallace Fargher, The Dalles; Jos. Sherar, Tygh valley; Thos.

Jim Xolanda horn, 18 feet long, that did service in Demccratic blowouts last month at Eugene, Astoria, Portland, The Dalles and Dufur, has been donated to the Nansene observatory, and will be used as a telescope.

Charles Stubling has got a corner on the market for eggs, and at his corner, the old Washi ngton market, serves Tom and Jerry from now till New Year day at regular intervale. " Mayor Mays is in the city from his southern ranches, and expects to remain some time. He says the storm which! has been so damaging in northern and) central California, did not altogethe miss Oregon. It swept over the Ante lope countrv with a vengeance, and act ually blew out some of the bottom rai of the fences The jam in the circuit court room during the Birgfeld trail, where every space available was taken up, proved one thing thrft should be attended to without delay. That is that the exit doors open the wrong way. They should be changed so as to swing out. In case of a stampede from a fire alarm, or some such event, on an occasion when there is a crowd present in that room, there would be no possible means of averting serious injury, if not death to many persons, beyond doubt. It is some sur prise that this matter has so long es caped the observation of grand juries. The long winter evenings have again returned and with them the advent of the whist club is announced. The first club of the season was organized last evening at Keller's hall, and is en tirely composed of those who have de parted the state of single blessedness. The club organized by electing Mr. H. KM. Beall president. W. H. Wilson sec Vei tary and Dr. Rinehart treasurer, the evening was pleasantly passed at he tables ; and as the company wended their Wav homeward it was with the pleasant anticipation of many similar meetings during the winter to come. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. H. M.' Beall, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Crossen, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Fish, Mr. and Mrs. Hos tetler, Dr. and Mrs. Rinehart, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. P. Morgan, Dr. and Mrs. Eshleman, Mr. and Mrs. F. Houghton, Mr. and Mre. C. J. Crandall, and Mr. W. H. Lochhead. H RISTM AS PRESENTS w E now have on presents.

Hill is the name ot the in dividual who has been sporting that mansard roof, and those rich, ebony fringed and claret lined eyes about The Dalles the past week or so. He hails from Evanston, Cook county, 111., and is evidently on the ragged edges ot a long continued jag. He is held in the city jail for an officer from Portland who is expected up tonight. Just what Hill is wanted for is not currently reported. His kid gloves and other effects, includ ing letters from his father refusing any more money except as stiputated twice yearly, and from his mourning mother brimful of love and compassion for her wayward son, show that he has seen better days. There is nothing fact, apparently just in certain quarters; surprising in the learned by some, that "cranberries grow in Oregon much better than at Cape Cod." The surprise would be to find anything that may be planted that the soil and climate of Oregon did not improve. Cranberries are not an exception to this universal rule. Mr. E. Stearns, formerly of Portland, who has been residing at Alsea for several years, has sent to his brother in the city a sample of cranberries raised on his place, which for size and general excel lence surpass any received from abroad. These are the first cranberries seen in Portland which were grown on Oregon soil, and Allen at once filed a request for a lot to be put up to go with the Oregon fruit exhibit to the Columbian exposition. Thev will be sent over by Mr. S. and will be in keeping with the ;rest of the exhibit. WILL IT EVER BE FAIR. How lias the Inland Empire so Mortally Offended?, The Oregonian and its Telegram, ap pear to be happy in the thought that it will be a long time before a boat can de liver its Dalles cargo at Astoria without breaking bulk. This is from the Or egonian : , In regard to the contract for construct ing the locks at the cascades, nothing more is known at the engineer's office than was known a week ago. Major Handbury recommended that one of the proposals received be accepted by the government, but that is a long way from the contract being let. The suc cessful bidder must furnish satisfactory bonds in the sum of $400,000 before the contract will be awarded, and it is not everybody who is capable of giving such bonds that is willing to do so. Maj. Handbury's recommendation "is a long way from the contract being let." Here is evidence clear enough that the Oregonian has an abiding hope that the contract may not be let at all. Its inti mation with respect to the bonds is the Billiest prattle. There are responsible names sufficient attached to Messrs. Day's bond to give it weight, although we are free to admit that "it ia not every body who is capable of giving such bonds" and they tiave filed it for approval along with their contract, as recommended by Maj. Handbury. The Oregonian must know this. Then why print such squibs as the above, which only reveal to the public the cloven-footed malev olence of the writer? It is such rancor that would seem to justify this whole community ia boycotting the Oregonian, as was done in Walla Walla, where now, tWVw.-s--,-r. exhibition in our center window articles of Fancy Work, suitable for Chiistmas Pease & Mays. we are informed not a dozen copies are aken daily. It shows a hardness. of eart toward the Inland Empire which It is impossible to account for in any .reasonable manner. The patronage of he Inland Empire bestowed upon the Oregonian, leaving out the part of prin cipal .' entirely ; should be sufficient to attract to us an occasional intimation of amiability. But not a word do we find of any kindliness or good nature from that source. Its reference to the cascade canal is always of an ill natured, spiteful, raukling bitterness. No kind offices and good treatment from the peo ple up this way ever seems to be worthy of a good turn. Even the tail organ of the Oregonian, its Telegram has to sneer at the prospect of an open Columbia river. It says: There are no new developments in the matter of letting the contract for finish ing the cascade locks. Major Handbury has forwarded recommendations, and if a contract is let the successful bidder must put up $400,000 bonds. The italic is ours. But who says the successful bidder does not have to put up? . The drift of the Telegram' is as clearly shown in that word placed where it is as need -be shown to any intelligent mind. Friends of an open river must not ex pect any favors from the Oregonian, its Telegram, if in fact from Portland, any more than from the Union Pacific rail-, way. ' A Contest In Wyoming. Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 30. The final count of the Carbon county vote makes the legislature republican on joint ballot, which will Insure the election of a re publican to the senate, unless the demo crats and populists, who will control the lower house, unseat a number of repub licans. This is likely, as the democrats charge the republicans with having stolen five members in Carbon county bv means of false returns. HELP! HELP! THE LADY FARTS. Tia the twins: of an eye, Tis the draught of a breath. From the blossom of health. To the pslnnoea of death." When sudden fainting spells come upon a lady, you may always suspect some uterine disturbances or trouble, or some great disorder in the circulation and nerve centers. A remedy that has al ways proved successful in warding oiT and removing the tendency to a recurrence of fainting spells that removes the cause of them, corrects the circulation of blood, and gives to the system that even run ning nervous energy so essential, is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The " Prescription " is guaranteed to give satisfaction in every case, or money refunded. Nothing else does as much. You only pay for the good you get Can you ask more t As a regulator and promoter of func tional action, at the critical period of change from girlhood to womaauood, "Favorite Prescription" Is a perfectly safe remedial acreht, and can produce only good results. It is equally -efficacious and valuable In its effects when taken for those disorders and derange ments incident to that later and most critical jeriod, known as M The change . ' v The Dalles Markets. Thursday, December 1. The week past has been more quiet than any former one of the season, on account of the farmers improving the time in plow ing and sowing fall grain. Prices re main steady on all staple goods and most kinds of produce. There is a fair stock of vegetables in the market and prices are unchanged. Eggs are more scarce than at any time this season. Our dealers have not advanced prices over last weeks quotation, but will be compelled to do so unless a shipment of eastern arrives soon. Good fresh butter is in better demand and is shorter in supply " with an ad vance in price in the near future. Pota toes are more plentiful at the quotation and have a downward tendency, that is to say, a slight decline is expected. Good clean green apples are dearer and are marked up 25c per box. Poultry is not coming- into market as freely as it did before Thanksgiving, but prices remain as quoted. The wheat market is stationary on former quotation, 62 for No. 1 and 57 to 60 cts. for other grades. The wool mar ket is entirely bare and is off in quota tions. ' Hides and pelts are weaker in tone although former quotations are the same. There is no change in the beef market. Mutton sheep are scarce and have turned a spot dearer. Fat pork is coming into market lively for slaughter at the quotation. Abstracto of title and land papers pre pared by Huntington & Mc Kinstry, 139 Second street.
