TO Our
WE HAVE rather neglected our Advertising of late, not '
because we had nothing to sell; but we had nothing
especially new to offer, and preferred to wait until we could
say something of-interest. We are;, and have been for some
time, busily engaged in placing our orders for Spring and
Summer Goods and feel justified n announcing that Ave
shall have the FINEST ASSORTMENT and the BEST
G-OODS in . all our - lines that has ever been seen in The
Dalles. We have secured eome genuine novelties in the
Dry Goods Department, and the ladies will certainly con
sult their best interests by deferring their purchases until
after their arrival, of which we shall give you due notice.
Keep both eyes on this. space and we will certainly surprise
you,, not only, with the", goods, but the prices at which we
shall sell them. We mean business and propose to have
your patronage, if LOW PRICES and the BEST
GOODS will accomplish it.. Yours Respectfully,

too deep to impede its progress.

PEASE &
DIED.
-At Los Aneeles, Cal., on the 0th day
of Feb., 1893, "Rev. Ephraim P. Roberts.
Mr. Roberts was born in Bennington,
Vt. pn the 22d day of Oct., 1825. At the
age of twenty-five years he entered Wil
liams college and was graduated from
that well known school in 1854; imme
diately after graduation he entered the
Bangor Theological Seminary, at Ban
gor, Me., and was graduated from that
school in 1857, and was at once ordained
at Bangor as a minister of the Congre
gational church. , As a student be was
thorough and painstaking, and was es
pecially devoted to languages and lit
erature. During the same year in which he
was . ordained he was married to Miss
Myra H. Farrihgton, a native of Maine,
and at once started with his bride for
the Caroline islands, to which he had
been assigned as a missionary by the
American Board of Com. for Foreign
Missions. Mr. Roberta and his wife
spent a few months in the Sandwich
islands on their return and, in' the fall
of 1861 they came to Portland, Or. In
1862 they located at White Salmon,
Wash., where they continued to live
until 1866, at which time they removed
to The Dalles, where they have resided
ever since.'
Since Mr. Roberts came to The Dalles
he, with his sons, have been engaged
principally in sheep raising and fruit
growing, and in both have been very
successful. Notwithstanding his time
was occupied in the management of
these industries, he nevertheless found
much time for effective and acceptable
missionary work among the email set
tlements throughout Wasco county.
His interest and efforts in this respect
were indefatigable, and his friends were
in number as were his acquaintances.
While his life, since he came to Oregon,
was "a retired one, its efficiency in the
work of elevating the life of those with
whom he came in contact was great.
He will be missed and his death is
mourned as well by those who were con
nected with him in his work and in full
sympathy with him, as those who dis
regarded bis words and example, but
who nevertheless appreciated his kindly
interest. Through his especial efforts,
the Congregational church of Fairview,
about ten miles' south of The Dalles.
was organized, and to it he devoted
much time and labor, with no other
compensation than the affectionate grat
itude of its members. - As a member of
the local and state horticultural societies
he was very active, and will be rniese 1
by those' interested with him in tlo
work of improving and extending the
fruit industry of Oregon.
During the last year of his life he was
a great sufferer from rheutnatism ; and
although he sought relief at various san
itariums, his only relief .came at his
death. ' Mr. Roberts leaves a widow and
nine children. Arrangements for the
funeral are not yet complete.
A Latter From Wamle. '
Wamic, Feb. 6. It seems prevalent
that the people of Eastern Oregon are to
be deprived of the much expected port
age road as provided for by the Raley
bill, now before the assembly. . Why is
it that a bill for the purpose of opening
op the interior of one of the most pro
ductive countries on the western elope of
the Rockies, one of the most fertile and
progressive, with the facilities that could
be attained by the passing' of the bill,
and the early completion of these locks.
Why is it that an intelligent honor
seeking senator or senators will trample
MAYS
such a measure under foot.- Is it 1 e-i
cause we (Eastern Oregon) have received
too much partiality heretofore? Has
the state money been used too lavishly
in our internal -improvements? ' Have
we ever received any appropriations by
the state for the pnrpose of building
public buildings or any other improve
ment that would assist in making this
better, more progressive, and more in
viting to capital, or in any way assist
ing to relieve the people of their burdens
of high freight rates, etc? No, noth
ing but the pecuniary appropriation of
$60,000 to build the Cascade portage
road which has more than paid for it
self in saving to the farmer alone. Com
pare our past record of improvements by
state money, with the record of western
Oregon. What has she received for the
purpose of dredging her rivers alone?
What has the Willamette river received,
and are on the verge of asking $400,000
to buy the canal or locks at the Willam
ette riyer falls, which is just and right
that the state should own them and all
other internal improvements of approx
imate wealth), $50,000 for the Agricul
tural college, the asylum and various
other things want money and must have
it, and not many months' since, $60,000 I
think it was, appropriated to build a
dome on the capital building at Salem,
and Eastern Oregon must pay her por
tion of this money and does ,do it with
out a word ; does she get value received?
The votes on the Raley bill explain it.
Does E. O., derive any immediate ben
efit from money thus expended? Yes.
Would Portland and the Willamette
valley receive any immediate benefit
from money expended as provided for
by the Raley bill?. I say as they will
say by stepping to the front and leaving
partiality, prejudice and supposed re
form and economy behind, yes. Now
in, conclusion let lis not forget these sen
ators who voted down the Raley "bill
and in the future place them in the
debtor column of our country. P. Jack.

Pleasant Ridge, Feb. 8, 1893.
Editor Chronicle : We have been
snowed in for the last week, and have
not had communication from the out
side world. The snow is about two ar,d
a half feet deep on the level, and is
drifted in places six or seven feet deep.
Every one is anticipating a big crop
this year.
. Tne citizens of this neighborhood are
talking of forming a water company to
bring water in pipes from upper 8-Mile
the coming summer.
The people of the ridge turned out
last Saturday and broke the roads so
they could get to church on the Sabbath.

The following letter lias been received
in this city from Mr. Jos. Sherar. ' It
will be remembered that Mr. Sherar
shipped over half a million pounds of
wool on the "Starbuck," in October
last, and the arrival at her destina
tion at this time 'will give Mr. Sherar
a big clean up on profits, as the market
is very active at an advance:
Boston, Feb. 1, 1893.
J. H. Sherar, Esq., Nicholville, N. Y.;
' Dbas Six: We have just been in
formed of the safe arrival of the ship
"Tillie E. Slarbuck," and your wool will
doubtless soon be coming forward, pos
sibly by the last of this week or the first
of next.
Presume we shall soon have the pleas
ure of seeing yourself and Mrs. Sherar.
- We think your wool baa arrived at a
favorable season, as we are having a
strong andactive market. .
Yours truly, Penny, Rice & Co.

'and when they arrived at the school
house be held one of her little mittened
