The glad yule tide will occasionally
leave recollections that are not always
pleasant, though the lesson may have
been profitable.
The Union Whist club held its regular
meeting last night, being entertained by
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Peters. At the con
clusion of the games, the club repaired
to A. Keller's, where a splendid banquet
was served.
At the Methodist Episcopal church,
Sunday, Dec. 23d, the morning theme
of the Rev. J. Whisler will be "The
Glad Tidings ;" in the evening "Some
Scientific and Moral Phases of the Tem
perance Question." A very cordial in
vitation to all.- Everyone should hear
the temperance discussion.
The special rate to Portland, made by
the O. R. & N., caused a number of our
citizens to visit the metropolis yesterday.
The train was a long one and had large
delegations from Baker City, La Grande,
Pendleton and other Eastern Oregon
points. It is safe to say that it was the
cheap fare and not an inordinate desire
to see the exposition that caused most of
them to make the trip.
The streets present a more than usual
bustling appearance today, caused by
the farmers and their wives being in
town, bent on providing little remem
brances for Christmas. The stores have
all done a good business today, which
speaks well for the condition of the
country. We may not as a community
have an abundance of wealth, but we all
have plenty to eat, comfortable clothes,
and praise God, enough that every little
one in the conntry can have something
to make his or her heart glad.
Salration Army.
The ship "Glad Tidings," laden with
good things, for whom it may concern,
will be on exhibition at the opera house
on the evening of the 25th of December.
This will be the grandest exhibit of the
kind ever seen in the state of Oregon.
Adults, 10 cents ; children free. Doors
will be open early. Everyone welcome.
Sweets to the Sweet.
Mr. Andrew Keller, the confectioner,
has a beautiful display of Christmas
goods in his line. Fancy candies, in
endless varieties, cakes plain and orna
mental, and the thousand of things "just
too sweet" make up the outlay. Rem
ember the little folks will want candy
and they all like Keller's. .
Everybody knows that the conditions

The following letter was received by
the county clerk of Gilliam county re
cently, and was printed in the Condon
Globe yesterday. It seems from that,
that Mr. Mohr means business and that
the railroad from Columbus to a point
in the middle river, will, be completed
next year. The letter is as follows :
"Sib To aid me in completing pend
ing negotiations for the completion of a
portage railroad aronnd the dalles and a
line connecting steamers. It is neces
sary for me to shpw that the traffic trib
utary to Columbia and Snake rivers is
sufficient to pay the expense of their
operation and interest on the invest
ment. For this purpose I would ask
you to furnish me the statistics, and
where these are lacking ; agricultural,
stock, mineral, fruit aud miscellaneous ;
your estimates of the quantity and de
scription of all products produced in
your county in 1894, naming tons or
bushels. Also the number of tons of
commodities or freight shipped into your
county per annum.
Also how large a percentage of the
total products would be hauled to the
river with an open river at rates of
freight from one-third to one-half the
rates now charged by the railroads.
Also your opinion as to the probable
increase of production in your county, if
an open river enabled a freight rate of
one-half of that charged now upon dif
ferent commodities received by or ship
ped from your county.
As it is the intention to have our pro
ject completed by the time the Cascade
locks are finished, anfearly answer will
be important. Yours truly,
Paul Mohb,
Vice-President Columbia Railway &
Navigation Co., 44 Broadway, N. Y.
A Wise Suggestion.
Senator Turpie i n discussing the Mor
gan Nicaragua canal bill made a wise
suggestion when he said that "before
any of the provisijns of the act are en
forced, the president is to appoint three
competent engineers, two of them from
the engineer corps and one from civil
life, not interested in the canal company,
to make a survey and estimate of the
expense of construction of the canal on
the route proposed."
Any one who has knowledge of the
present canal company knows that it
has not been managed on a basis to en
gender confidence, The books of the
company have been ."cooked' for the
purpose of deceiving. Let the investi
gation of the canal be made without any
aid from the company. :

eminent to take hold of the canal inde
