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 in announcing that we shall have the FINEST ASSORTMENT and the BEST GOODS in all our lines that has ever been seen in The Dalles. We have secured some 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, The Dalles Daily Chronicle.

NORMAN'S TREES ARE PREE The Native Climate for Thens Warm- Mot Known In the East. I. J. Norman, who has made the scale an especial object of his attention for the past two years, was most agreeably surprised yesterday to observe his trees, which were badly covered with scale, of a dull brown color. A closer examina tion showed that it was the scale, and scraping them up on his thumb nail, noticed that they were quite lifeless and of a color strikingly different than the usual reddish-yellow. Mr. Norman has about forty trees in bis enclosure, and all efforts to perma nently rid them of the scale were un availing, though spraying would tern porarily check them. Tbey have got so thick that now even the pine trees are covered. If the destruction has been general it will be the greatest boon that could happen to orchard ists in this country It is known that they are a native of a warmer climate, coming originally from Africa, and thriving in the semi-trop ical region of California. In the east, however, where the winters are severe, they are not known, and the conclusion is pretty certain that they cannot sur vive the cold. artv It was a gay party that went ont to Mr. M. Cushing's commodious farm house, three miles from town, last night. The air was cool and bracing, and the sleighing delightful. The party enjoyed themselves till a late hour in music and dancing, and was pronounced by those present as one of the most successful parties of the season. Those in atten dance were: J. H. Blakney and wife. W. H. Young and wife, Henry Teague and wife, Hugh Chrisman and wife, Fred Fisher and wife, Richard Brookbouse and wife, I. J. Norman and wife, Mrs. Klindt, Miss Mollie Klindt, Misses Phirman, Richer, Joles, Teague, Jim Smith, Al and Walter Klindt. Dr. Logan, Robt. Teague, Will Vanbibber, Will Norman, Chas. Corson, Chas.
