Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle Reporters. The weather report for tomorrow says fair and cooler. Some elegant costumes may be ex pected at the masquerade this evening. The prizes for the Excelsior masquer ade are on exhibition in several 6tore Bhow-windows. There will be a regular meeting of the members of Mt. Hose Co. at the hose house tomorrow (Saturday) evening at 7 :30 o'clock. John W. Lewis, Sec. A new ice house is being built in the company's shops. The frame work, which is up today, shows that the build ing will be much larger than the one now in use. The bounty which was set by the last county court upon coyote scalps is caus ' ing persons to bring in snch trophies almost daily. Three such scalps were received today. The Foresters met last evenirig in their new hall, over Brown's grocery store. The officers elected at the laet meeting were installed and several ap plications f. or membership received. Mr. Balch was taken to Portland on this morning's passenger. Dr. Kane of Dufur accompanied' the sick man. At the time of leaving, Mr. Balch seemed slightly better, but his condition on the whole is regarded as very precarious. . ' The longest train of cars that ever left Albina on the O. R. & N track ar rived in The Dalles at noon. . When the engine started from Albina' it had 56 cars behind it, ten of which were set out at intermediate stations. A ten-wheeler, No. 112, with Engineer Christians at the throttle, pulled the train. The cars were empty, and will be filled with wheat for shipment to Portland. The county court is in the midst of ex attuning bills. A good many claims will be cut down, as people who live in The Dalles and were summoned as witnesses will be allowed pay for only actual days spent in court. Most claims were put in for the time from- the date of the sub poena till the discharge, but the court will not allow this procedure. Some on the claims will be slashed away down. A letter received from a gentleman at Antelope says stockmen are well pleased with the record the winter is making so far. The grasB is growing nicely. From near the Deschutes word comes that the stock are not in the best of condition just at present, owing to them eating the new grass, which is too tender to be nourishing.. ' This is but a passing con dition, however, and with weather such as the authorities are giving us now, & Hill, Fancy Sour Pickles in bulk, Ghirkins, English, pints, pints, quarts; pints, quarts, Sweet Gherkins, PEASE stockmen will have no complaint to make. Pneumonia seems to be prevalent to a considerable extent. Mrs. I. N. Sar geant was taken sick yesterday morning, and within twenty-four hoars her con dition was Buch as to cause her friends much anxiety. Her daughter, Mrs. Wilson, at Nansene, has been sum moned and will arrive this afternoon. Mrs. Sargeant is in her eightieth year, and has many friends, who will watch anxiously for news from the sick room. Tomorrow evening will be Elks' night in The Dalles. The members of Cascade Lodge, No. 303, will pay tbeir brethern in this city a fraternal visit. They will come up on the noon train, bringing with them the necessary requisites for holding a session here. The meeting will be held in the Foresters' hall. It is expected tbat the lodge now at Cas cades will be moved to The Dalles about the middle of next March, as the ex pected completion of the locks will cause many of the members to seek new pas tures. A letter was received this morning from Hon. D. P. Thompson explaining why he did not come upon the date set for his lecture in The Dalles. It seems a misunderstanding occurred and Mr. Thompson understood that February 4th, instead of January 4th, was to be the date. It has been arranged that Mr. Thompson will deliver his lecture in The Dalles January 28th, at which time he will undoubtedly be greeted by a large audience. Holders of tickets for the course are asked to write the date upon their admission cards. C. W. Barzee returned today from Sherman county, where he went in the intereets of the Rattlesnake road. Mr. Barzee brings back the good news that the Sherman county court appropriated $600 to be used in' completing the grade. Mr. McDonald signed a $1200 bond, with Mr. Barzee as surety, that the work would be completed by May 1st. The commissioners expect, however, that March 1st will see job done. Messrs. Barzee and McDonald made an earnest plea before the court and presented the matter in a strong light. The action of the court will be universally com mended. V? A meeting of the executive committee TV. un 1 it Ul : i v. held last evening in Mr. Menefee's office. Messrs. M. T. Nolan, f A. Hudson, Frank Menefee and H. H. Riddel! , com prising a majority of the committe, were present. Matters ' pertaining to the welfare, of the club were informally dis cussed, but the principal object of the meeting was to take some action regard ing the convention of the state league( which will be held in Portland, Febru ary 4th. It was decided to hold a meet ing of .The Dalles club next Thursday evening . in 'the council chambers, at which delegates will be chosen for the state meeting and matters of pro cedure during the coming campaign de cided upon. Secretary Riddell received the official call of the state convention this morning;. The meeting next Thurs day should call out a large attendance and the initial session be a rousing one. & MAYS Conditions Past and Present. Preeminently in years past The Dalles has been a commercial town. The reason for its existence lay in the fact that its situation gave it an advantage over the other places in Eastern Oregon as the trading center for a large area of coun try. In the days of mining excitement long lines of pack trains left this town for places as far away as Idaho, while all- intermedial e points looked to this place as the base of supplies. As the country grew, other means of transpor tation were found and other towns grew and shared with this city the trade for the mines. When the gold excitement abated the exuberance of commercial life subsided and The Dalles changed from a frontier town into a steadier city, where, if trading was not so remunera tive, yet continued steady and good. The country had grown meanwhile; the stock industry bad been started, and the land being found suitable for the raisins of cattle, horses and-sheep, this industry soon assumed large propor tions and The Dalles still continued a trading town, the supply place for points as far separated from one another as Yakima and Canyon City. With the advent of railroads many sections which formerly traded with us found it easier to assume commercial relations with other places, but the defection was filled by the settlement of the agricultural lands, and The Dalles held its own as the largest trading center in Eastern Oregon a position it occupies today. And, roughly speaking, this is the history of The Dalles, commercially. But we have been simply a trading point long enough. It is time to branch out. Manufacturing is what nature in tended should be done at The Dalles. With boundless water power; most ad vantageous situation on a river toon to be opened to the sea, affording competi tive rates of transportation; equable climate and natural products close at hand, nothing-is lacking to make this place the Lowell of the West, save the application of capital and energy. Let the citizens of The Dalles make up their minds that here shall be a manufactur ing city, and at all times be eager to assist in the starting of any enterprise, no matter how small or insignificant, tbat will be a step in the direction of a manufacturing growth. This year should see much progress made. In Honor of Bliss Moody. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph r. Peters was a scene of gaiety last even ing, the occasion being a cotillion given by Mrs. Peters in honor of Miss Moody of Salem. The early part of the evening was pleasantly passed in playing whist, seven tables being set for the game. Mrs. W. H. Moody had the largest score among the ladies and was awarded the head prize for ladies, while Mr. H: W. French led the gentlemen and was given the trophy of success. Miss Minnie Lay and Mr. A. J. Tolmie were successful in winning the boobies. The score cards were unusually pretty, each one being hand-painted and con j mAIER & BENTON. taining some Eentiment appropriate to the game. - After whist a ' delicious lunch was served and then the cotillion was danced. The figures four in number were well arranged, and the cotillion proved to be a most enjoyable diversion. At its con clusion an old-fashioned Virginia reel caused much merriment, and then at an hour long past midnight the guests de parted, having spent a most enjoyable evening. Those who were present as Mrs Peters' guests were : Mr and Mrs W H Moody, Mr and Mrs A J Tolmie, Mr and Mrs II W French, Misses Edna Moody, Nona Ruch, Ursula Ruch, Rose Michell, Aimee Newman, Myrtle Michell, Vir ginia Marden, Mary Lay, Beulab Pat terson, Minnie Lay, Messrs .M A Moody, Ed G Patterson, C W Lord, G W Phelps, John Hampshire, Max A Vogt, Fred W Wilson, Victor Marden, R H Lonsdale, Lewis Porter. Suddenly Taken Insane. A ead affliction has overtaken Miss Annie Brown, daughter of Mr. A. A,J Brown. For some time the young lady has been in failing health and this morning showed unmistakable signs of insanity. . An examination was held by Dr. Doane and Judge Blakeley, and the unfortunate young girl committed to tie aBylum. The trouble nas been long in coming, as for many weeks she ba3 been brooding over the suicide of an uncle. When Prof. Riddell delivered his lectuie on ''Heredity" Miss Brown attended and took a deep interest in the lecture because of the fact that three of her ancles were insane. Since that time her condition became worse till this morning, when a violent outbreak oc curred. She is in fear tbat she may kill herself. Miss Brown is a graduate of the Quincey, Illinois, high school, and has lived in-The Dalles about four years. She has been a constant attendant at the Congregational church, though not a church member. The case is deplora bly sad, and the parents and the afflict ed one will have the deep felt sympathy of everyone. Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair, Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair. CHEAT.!
