The frost which occurred on the 9th was
not so severe in the eastern portions of
the state. The sunshine was about the
average.
Crops in the Columbia river counties
retain their healthy color. All grain
and grass crops are promising. Seeding
of spring grain is completed. Barley in
Gilliam county is backward. Farmers
have begun to summer-fallow. The
ground is in excellent condition to re

'ENLISTED FOR THE WAR."
Pretty Play Enlivened By
.Choice Mnsle.
PERSONAL MENTION.
The opera house was comfortably filled
last evening to witness "Enlisted for the
War," the first play for several years
by the Home Dramatic Company, with
the following cast :
Robert Trueworth, a soldier G D. Snowden
Wilder KoweU, uuardian ox ualir. k. u. jonsaaie
Hosea Jenks, Auctioneer M. T. Nolan
Hiram Jen ks," A Mere Boy" J. Hampshire
nmp, colored n. j.emnoii
General Grant. H. H. Kiddell
Lieutenant-Colonel Boxer Gus Bonn
GaylieGiffor , an Heiress Rote D. Michell
Mrs. Trueworth, Rob's mother. .Mrs. G. Blakelev
Mattie Trueworth,. Elizabeth FitzGerald
The play itself is a love story, founded
upon incidents growing out of the civil
war, in which the. preferred but ' un
lucky suitor is continually striving
against the machinations of a designing
villain. 'Fortune finally smiles Upon
the true lover, clouds give place to sun
shine, and there results a happy denoue
ment. Our Home Dramatic Company
handled the play up to the limit of its
possibilities, but are capable of render
ing a much stronger production.
"Gaylie Gifford," the leading female
character, was well adapted to Miss
Rose Michell, who faultlessly interpreted
the character of a young and rich heir
ess, gay and sprightly, but possessed of
deep feeling and noble impulses.
"Robert Trueworth,?' her , lover, was
taken by Mr. G. D. Snowden, who gave
conscientious rendition of his part.
"Wilder RowelF' was especially suited
to- the abilities of Mr. Lonsdale. His
make-up was excellent and bis acting
graceful and natural. "Hosea Jenks,"
by M. T. Nolan, was a unique character,
so improved upon Dy tne mstriomc
abilities of the actor as to be almost a
creation. Messrs. Nolan and Lonsdale
are both finished artists. "Hiram
Jenks," though a minor character, was
a forcible one -as interpreted by Mr.
Hampshire. His capacity as much sur
prised the audience as his stage father.
Mr. N. T. Sinnptt as "Crimp" gave
a one bit ot character acting. 113
make-up was also faultless, and he kept
the house convulsed in merriment over
his droll antics and local hits. The
characters of "Mrs. Trueworth," by
Mrs. G. C. Blakeley and "Mattie True-
worth," by Miss Elizabeth FitzGerald
were 'hardly secondary to "Gaylie
Gifford," and were naturally given.
"General Grant" and "Lt.-Col. Boxer"
were merely incidental to the action of
the play, but were well taken by Mr. H
H. Riddell and Mr. G, Bonn respect
ively. The representation of Gen. Grant
was very good. An amusing incident
happened when, just after Gen. Grant
disclosed his identity to the rascally
"Col. Rowell," the lieutenant-colonel
tumbled to the floor. Happening, as it
did, at just the opportune instant, it was
taken by many for "a part of the play,"
but it was purely accidental.
The music given by ' the orchestra
was never excelled in the city. After
the eecond act -they were compelled to
respond to an enthusiastic encore.
Hon. J. H. Cradlebaugh ia in the city.
Captain Butterfield left on the early
morning train for Portland.
Rev. P. H. McGuffev and family leave
soon for Nashville, Tenn., to remain
permanently.
Mr. W. J. Davidson, a prominent
citizen of Endersby, favored this office
with a pleasant call today.
Card of Thanks.
The members of the Y. W. C. T. U. of
The Dalles desire to return their thanks
to the Home Dramatic Club as signifi
cant of their appreciation of the gener
ous donation of the proceeds of the ren
dition of the play "Enlisted for the
War" last evening at the Baldwin opera
house. This liberal sum will be used in
relieving distress in this city, and for
other 'charitable objects, of which there
are many at present.

Five Million Square Miles of Land Suit
able for Agriculture or Pasture.
Siberia is popularly supposed to be a
barren waste, extending from the
frozen ocean on the north to the sands
of the Gobi desert on the south. But
this popular, impression is altogether
wrong-, according to tne jrniiaaeipma
Record. Exclusive of the north and the
deserts of Turkestan.Russia in Asia con
tains an area of 5,000,000 square miles
of land suitable for agriculture or
pastoral pursuits. Its population num
bers nearly 18,000,000. There are sev
eral cities with a population exceeding
50,000. The agricultural products ex
ported, which constitute only a very
small part of the whole, are valued at
an average of 830,000,000 a year, me
output of the mines exported is valued
at upward of 820,000,000 annually, and
the furs, fish, skins and other products
that come into European Russia from
Siberia are worth $5,000,000 to 86,000,
000. It was for the purpose of develop
ing this vast territory and. encourag
ine immigration thither that the gov
ernment of the czar has undertaken to
expend 300,000,000 upon the Great Si
berian railway, over 4,uuu mnes long.
which will connect the Black sea and
the Baltic with' Vladivostock, on the
Sea of Japan. It is not expected that
the railway will pay the expense of
operation for many years to come.
But it will doubtless be an important
factor in the future economic history
of the world. One result of the com
pletion of the road may be an entire
shifting of trade routes; and it will
certainly open a new and productive
continent to settlement.
