THE DALLES .
OREGON
A TEXAS POOH-BAH.
EX Came from Kentucky and Ran the
Business of the Town
"Some time ago," remarked a lawyer
to a Louisville Courier-Journal writer,
"I had occasion to visit Texas. I
stopped at a little town one Saturday,
about noon, intending' to remain there
until Monday morning'.
"The proprietor of the hotel was a
gTay-haired fellow, well preserved, and
apparently full of energy. I was con
sequently not very greatly surprised
when he informed me that he was also
a lawyer. He had a big, stout wife,
and it struck me that he could very
well leave the hostelry to her while
lie practiced law. He disappeared
shortly after noon.
"1 started out to see something of
the little town, and, needing a collar,
stopped in one or two dry goods stores
to buy one. I must confess that I was
somewhat staggered when I found that
the hotelkeeper, besides being a law
yer, was a clerk in a dry-goods store
for it was he who smiled blandly at me
over the counter. I extended my walk
until night was falling', and as I ap
proached the hotel who did I see light
ing the oil lamps in the main street but
the hotel proprietor! The next morn
ing, which was Sunday, I inquired of
him the way to church. 'Come on,'
said he, 'I'll show you.' lie took me
into the church and showed me a seat,
after which he disappeared, saying he
must go and ring the bell. In a few min
utes it was pealing forth its pleading:
'Come, O, come, and soon the congre
jgation had gathered.
"I was prepared for anything al
most, after what I had seen of mine
host's versatility, and was not much
surprised when he ascended the stairs
of the pulpit and opened services.
Then he came down again and manipu
lated the keys of the wheezy little or--gan
while the congregation sang. He
"then took up the collection, after which
he again resumed the pulpit "and
preached as fine a gospel sermon as I
ver heard. When services were over
and the flock had been dismissed with
a fervent prayer, the pastor closed up
the church.
" 'What sort of a man is Mr. So-and-so,
anyhow?' I asked a lawyer.
" 'Oh,' ho answered, 'he runs the
town generally. He's killed a dozen
men, more or less, and he is the best
shot with the revolver in this part of
the country. He's the best poker play
er, too, I ever saw. He is from Ken
tucky, too, " .-.. - -- - --. .
HOPE FOR MANITOBA.
A Winnipeg Man Thinks It Will Tet Be
the Granary of the World.
"If the horse could stand it," said a
well-known resident of Winnipeg, Man
itoba, to a reporter for the Washington
Star, "a man could leave Winnipeg and
ride one thousand miles west and north
west over a level prairie before he would
Xe obstructed by the mountains. This
gives an idea of the great territory ly
ing west of Winnipeg, which, to the
eastern man, seems way out of the
world. The soil of this prairie produces
the finest spring wheat grown any
where, and the enormous plain I've just
mentioned will in a few years be the
great granary of the world. Eastern
people have a misty idea of our expan
sive territory. We are just commenc
ing to grow wheat compared to a de
cade hence, though our crop two years
ago was thirty million bushels. We
have but little snow, and in the many
years I resided in Manitoba I never
saw the tops of the bright prairie grass
covered. Cattle fairly roll in fat, and
we are becoming a great cattle country.
. While most of our settlors are from
across the water, yet the number from
the western states is yearly increasing.
We have no wild west frontier scenes.
There are no settlers killed over dis
puted claims, as has been an everyday
story in the west for years. Our home
stead laws require a three years' resi--dence
of six months each. Land may
be preempted, too. Gold has been dis
covered in wonderfully rich quartz de
posits a few miles east of Winnipeg,
and paying mills have just been erected
by Minneapolis capitalists. I predict a
"rush' to the Lake of the Woods district
mext year. Winnipeg has thirty-five
thousand inhabitants and is a thriving
city. Our winters are cold, but we do
not mind them. The atmosphere is dry
and the days are clear, murky weather
being almost unknown."
Persons of sedentary habits often suffer
with kidney affections. Sufferers from
this weakening and dangerous disease,
by a persistent use of Simmons' Liver
Regulator, will restore the kidneys to
their wonted health and vigor.

Since its first introduction, electric
bitters has gained rapidly in popular
favor, until now it is clearly in the lead
among pure medicinal tonics and alter
atives containing nothing which per
mits its use as a beverage or intoxicant,
it is recognized as the best and 'purest
medicine for all ailments of stomach,
liver or kidneys. It will cure sick head
ache, indigestion, constipation ana drive
maleria from the system. Satisfaction
guaranteed with each bottle or the
money will be refunded. Price only 50c.

"During the epidemic of la grippe
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy took the
lead here and was much better liked
than any other medicine." H. M. Bangs,
-druggist, Chatsworth, 111. The grip is
much the same as a very severe cold and
requires precisely the 'same treatment.
This remedy is prompt and effectual and
will prevent any tendency of the disease
towards pneumonia. For sale by Blake

MIDWINTER FAIR.
Gaxjfornta ' Midwinter Interna- )
tion ax. Exposition. Department
of Publicity and Promotion. . y
IWeekly Circular Letter No. 7.
The work of preparation for the Ex
position has now reached a point where
the aesthetic ideas of the management
are beginning to bear fruit. All the
main buildings are practically finished,
bo far as the details of construction are
concerned, and now comes the matter
of decoration. Charles Graham, the
Well-known artist better known, per
haps, in the East than in California on
account of his extensive experience with
the Harpers, and more recently with
the Columbian Exposition has been ap
pointed as director of color for the Mid
winter Exposition, and to him falls the
duty of superintending the decoration
of the Exposition buildings. There has
been made no effort in this connection
to pattern after the Columbian Exposi
tion. The term "White City" will
never be appropriately applied to this
Exposition. Mr. Graham's idea has
been to let delicate tints predominate,
and to so distribute and arrange these
that the peculiar atmospheric effects of
the California climate shall be utilized
to enhance their harmony and increase
their beauty. Warm tones are not par
ticularly necessary in the decoration of
any group of buildings in this glorious
climate of California, and the darkness
of background afforded by the almost
black foliage is a magnificent setting
for the delicate tints which are to pre
vail. Some excellent effects have already
been partially produced on the main
buildings, although none of them are
yet to be seen in the f ullnes3 of perfec
tion. There will be a great deal of gold
in the scheme of color, although not
enough of it to give the architectural
group the name of the " Golden City.
The domes of the Administration build
ing will be heavily gilded, and the west
ern sun, striking full upon them, will
undoubtedly play a very important part
in the picturesqneness of the pano
rama.. Mr. Graham says that several
of the buildings of this Exposition sur
pass in perfection of detail and architec
tural development the buildings of the
Columbian Exposition, and that in the
line of opportunity offered for pictur
esque and landscape effects, 4he like has
never been seen in any exposition.
The ornamentation of the grand
central court is also receiving a great
deal of attention just now. The elec
trical fountain is being installed in one
end, the basin for the allegorical fount
ain is in place at the other, and the
sculpture will soon be ready to be put
in position. The electric tower has
reached a third of its height, and two
more weeks will see it completed.
Eight or ten inches of rich loam has
been spread over the entire surface of
the grand plaza, and on it will be sown
the seed of the flowers and foliage
which are to make this the meet beau
tiful spot in all the beautiful Golden
Gate Park. There has already been
transplanted to this grand parallelo
gram a large number of bamboo plants
and date palms that have been artisti
cally distributed, and have made a
favorable impression on the public,
which warrants the assertion that the
picture to be presented within the lines
of the court, around which the main
buildings are situated, will be one of
surpassing loveliness. The Venetian
masts, several hundred in number,
which are to stand like a line of sol
diery around this court, are already in
position. These are to bear the flags of
all nations by day, and electric arc lights
at night; and between them the sun will
shius upon long lines of parti-colored
streamers, while the darkness of each
succeeding night will be relieved by
long lines of incandescent lights and
fancy lanterns in the development of
the carnival effects which have been
contemplated in this connection.
The work on the concessional build
ings is proceeding satisfactorily. The
exposition will be nearer ready on open
ing day than has been the case 1 of any
large exposition in the history of the
world. The management of the Expo
sition are to te particularly congratu
lated on the fact that in the erection of
the 70 odd structures within the Expo
sition grounds, on which there has been
an aggregate expenditure of nearly
$1,000,000, there has, thus far, occurred
no labor trouble, no accidents, and not
even an alarm of fire.
The programme for opening day has
not yet been completed, but the cere
monies wiU be of a character to war
rant the unbottling of all the enthusi
asm which San Francisco and the ad
joining cities and towns have been get
ing up for this occasion. It took the
business men of San Francisco a long
while to wake up to the importance of
this Exposition, but there is no longer
any room 'for criticism on this score,
and it is safe to say that when opening
day shall arrive the city will be more
gaily decorated and its inhabitants will
turn out more universally than on any
other occasion that has marked the his
tory of California.
. A feature of the Exposition which has
now been fully developed is that which
is to include the display of citrus fruit
from different parts of the state. There
are in the state two citrus fair associa
tions that of Southern California and
that of 'the Northern citrus counties.
Both these fairs will be held this yezx
in connection with the Midwinter Ex
position, and it will be interesting to
Eastern people to know that these grand
displays - of oranges and - lemons are
made in the months of January and
February. The management of the
state citrus fair northern district has
just announced its dates to be from Jan.
15 to Feb. 15, and that of Southern
California will be on at the same time.
In addition to . these . citrus displays
Fresno county has completed arrange-,
ments to erect a model of her court
house to be constructed of oranges and
raisins, so that Eastern visitors will see
more wonderful displays of the golden
fruit than has ever been made else
where. '
