When his sister made up his bed in the
niornitig the purse and contents, minus
the $2,50, was found snugly secreted be
tween the mattresses. It is quite evi
dent that when Bob dreamed he was be
ing robbed he performed a Boiunambn-f
listic feat, by arising and secreting his
money. When he heard the $2.50 roll

burglar was after him, and be got into

dream, which evolved into a reality on

Be Careful
The Dalles is no worse than any other
city, but it is bad enough, everybody
knows. There are parents in this city
as in every other city who exercise no
control whatever over their offspring, es
pecially their boys, and the consequence
is they grow up like an Indian, without
restraint or regard for others, and the
result is recklessness, and so on till they
ripen down into the vilest deeds that is
recorded in the annals of crime. They
begin in abuse to their fellows, the next
is a step farther, and a little longer on
follows the first, and what next? gone
too far, boys. Night before last, while
men were off the streets at home, and
the boys ought to be, some young fel
lows, boys, broke six globes of the street
lights belonging to the Electric Light
company for no other reason than mis
chief and pure meanness. They evi
dently think that no one knows who did
it, but in that they are badly mistaken,
for each one is known and they will be
held accountable if such a thing is done
again. Boys ought to remember that
evil doers get found out before they"
think or dream.

Project
Washington dispatches today inform
us that several members of congress
have just found out that no new projects
Efor river and harbor improvements can
fjbe commenced for at least four years, so
far as the Pacific coast is concerned.
The project at the dalles will be ex
cepted as it does not come within the
term of new projects. Where surveys
rwere made this vear and found worthv
jfol improvement, it will be found 'neces
sary to provide for a plan of impcoye
uient under the next river and harbor
bill, and an appropriation . two . years
Jater. It is learned that this arrange
ment was designed with the full knowl
edge of the effect it would have upon the
improvements, and that it would relieve
the river and harbor committee from the
'pressure that is always brought to bear
Jppon it to provide for new projects, not
reported favorably by the engineer.
j Upon the subject of the two projects,
he boat railway and Seattle caual, Mr.
Blauchard, of the house committee of
twmrnerce, is reported is as saying that
J' neither of these propositions had any
blace in the river and harbor bill, and
for that reason he was opposed to . them
pi the last session, and made a de
termined fight to prevent their being in
corporated in the river and harbor bill
io they might defeat it, jeopardizing all
he river and harbor interests in the
.country. He said that some very emi
nent engineers, who had made private
Inquiries as to the route of the bout rail-
way, claimed that it would be impracti
cable. . " .. .
? "One m particular, who was very
anxious to see boat-railway schemes
succeed, and whom Mr. Blanchard
termed 'a boat-railway man,' said it
would be a failure' if constructed at the
dalles, and the damage to boat railways
would be very great. As to the Seattle
canal, Mr. Blanchard thinks that it is
rather poor policy to force that kind of
legislation, when nearly half of the
state is opposed to it. He says he be
lieves that if a vote of the two states of
Oregon and Washington were taken a
majority of the people would be found
opposing both the boat railway scheme
ai, the dalles and the Seattle canal." -. .
So far as Mr. Blanchard's remarks
apply to the boat railway, lie would find
himself very greatly mistaken.

Bereavement In Paluou.
Mr. P. W( De Huff" of this city re
turned from Palouse city this morning.
He and Mrs. De Huff had been called to
Palouse by dispatches announcing the
serious illness of their grandchildren, a
little son, Robert, and daughter, Fran
cis, of J. K. and Mamie McCornack.
The little girl, Francis, aged two years
and nine months, died of scarlet fever.
A dispatch from his son-in-law, Mr
McCornack, received this morning says:
"Robert is doing nicely, Not very sick.
Think some better." It is indeed a sad
bereavement to the families, and to
them Thk Chkonici.k extends heart-felt
sympathies. Mrs. De Huff remaines at
Palouse until the recovery of Robert.
In this connection it may be pertinent
to. allude to the- following dispatch,
which appeared in the Oregonian yes
terday :
Pullman. Wash., Dec. 12. Almost a
panic r-igns in Palouse citvr owing to
the prevalence of scarlet fever there.
Three death occurred during the past
three days, two of them being the only
children of Banker McCornack. They
ere aged four and two years. There
are many other cases. It is claimed bv
some physicians that diphtheria also
exists, but this is denied by others.
The schools and churches have been
closed, children driven from the streets,
and all houses containing the disease
are quarantined. At the theater, ' a
company billed to play tonight was de
nied' the privilege. It is thought the
disease is under control. If it spreads
further the town will be quarantined.
Mr. DeHuff states that there is no
foundation whatever for the sensational
portions of the dispatch. There is no
panic, and he is wholly at a loss to ac
count for any reason why such informa
tion should be published.
