J. H. Sherar of Sherar's Bridge one of
Wasco Co. 'a prominent citizens and
largest sheep raisers, was taking in the
sights in town today, and from his smil
ing countenance we were led to believe
tnat somebody would be made bappy
with a nice Christmas present, for J. H.
remembers the poor. .
Last evening the stores were crowded
with people making purchases for
Christmas, ai d the town had a lively
appearance. The postmaster and assist
a nt 8 are doing heavy work with the
Christmas mail, while the express office
has its busiest season. Tomorrow is the
gladdest day of all the year, and the prep
arations for it gives untold pleasure.
The passenger train from the eabt was
an hour and a half late in reaching The
Dalles this morning.. The delay was
caused by a severe storm in the Blue'
mountains, which caused the snow to
gather in the cuts and cover the track in
many places. The rotary plow preceded
the passenger train from La Grande to
Pendleton. A snow blockade hasn't
much of a show against a rotary, though
it could give bother enough to the old
fashioned plows.
Mr. C. F. Stephens proved to be the
lucky man in the raffling for the picture
painted by Mrs. John Filloon and on
exhibition in the Snipes-Kinersly drug
store. Ticket number 22 proved to be
the winner, and this was held by Mr.
Stephens. - According to the rules of
the drawing as many cents were paid
for a ticket as the number indicated,
and bo Mr. Stephens ticket cost him but
twenty-two cents. The picture is a very
handsome one and possesses much artis
tic merit. It was a premium-taker at
the lair last October.
A crowd of spectators was interested
in watching some huge beeves hoisted
on to the hooks in Wood Bros.' butcher
shop this morning. The beeves dressed
to an average of 1,200 pounds, and as
there were three of them, the space -in
the ehop was pretty well taken. Mr.
Wood says these steers were the larg
est ever brought to The Dalles, and
came from Malheur county. They are
truly a sight worth witnessing, and a
stronK evidence of what the bunchgrass
country of Eastern Oregon can do in the
way of big productions.
Dr. Sutherland, who is attending little
Constance French, used today for' the
first time in The Dalles, the anti-toxin
treatment, the discussion of which has
occupied the attention of the medical
world every since its discovery. The
percentage of fatal endings of this dread
disease has been greatly lessened, medi
cal authorities claim, by the use of anti
toxin and there are those who believe it
one of the greatest discoveries""'of the
century;. Dr. Sutherland-is a great be
liever in its efficacy, and is hopeful for
good results in the present instance.

Rattlesnake Road.
"This road is in such shape now that
five men can put it in good traveling
condition in a week," so says Mr. G. F.
Gunther of Moro, Sherman county, and
be knows. The work on the road has
been suspended at present, but will be
resumed as soon as the weather will per
mit. The people are anxiotis to have it
completed as from what has been al
ready demonstrated, tbey can realize
the great benefit which will be derived
from its use.
It is claimed by those who are
familiar with this Toad, that it will be-
one of the best in the county, and good
roads are what is needed. Tho people
of Sherman county are to be congratu
lated upon the enterprise shown in this
direction, not only as a matter of econ
omy, but good business sense. We
trust the people of Wasco county will
imbibe some of their spirit and improve
the highways and especially those lead
ing out of The Dalles. There has been
some noted improvements made on some
of them in the last year, but there is
plenty of work to be done, and our
county court should see to it that good
work is done and more of it. For in
this, our item of good roads, there is
more direct good to the farming commu
nity than any other benefit derived from
taxation. .

Mr. H. J. McMacus, a gentleman
from Portland who travels considerably
around the Northwest, was in the city
yesterday, and in company with a
trustee of the Commercial and Athletic
Club, visited the rooms which are now
in process of being fitted up. Mr. Mc
Manus, who is a member of the Multno
mah Athletic Club, was told the plans
and purposes of the club, and expressed
himself well pleased with what he saw
and heard. The rooms, he said, are
well arranged, and convenient for a club
of this sort. ' The place picked for a
bowling alley is excellent, and will ad
mit of being lighted all day, which can
not be said of the alleys in many clubs,
among them the Multnomah, where ar
tificial light must be' osed during the
day time. The Dalles club rooms are
