It is reported that the present Chinook

is the proper time. of the year for snow
and rough weather, and we hope, if it
must come, it will come now, and then
give us a decent spring.

into the faith. A few intimate friends
ware invited and a sumptuous lunch
served. The little boy was named
Milton Lee.
The warm weather and rains of the
paBt few days have caused the river to
rise, and it is now several feet above low
water mark. A further rise is .looked
for by some of our local prophets. Work"
on the Regulator has eo far progressed
that ' the rise of the river would not
cause mo.-e than a passing inconvenience.
A meeting of the Antelope Republican

tion, as is the name of the organization
there, is called for Saturday, January 25,

be chosen for the state convention in

telope has a membership of eighty,
and is reported in a flourishing con
dition. V
There is a big demand for WascoJ
county warrants and there is no difficulty
in selling them at par. A year or so ago
they were selling at from 90 to 95 cents,
but there -is now plenty of money in
town to take up the whole issue at par.
If some of this capital could be used in
establishing eome manufactory say
woolen mill for instance tbe benefit to
the town and to the inventor would be
far greater.
A letter received by Mr. Smith French
cK
from Fossil today, announced the death
of Thomas Hoover, who is well known
throughout Eastern Oregon. His death
occurred very suddenly. Mr. Hoover
was formerly a resident of The Dalles,
bat more recently has lived at Fossil,
where he was engaged in business with
Mr. Watson. Mr. Hoover was the father-in-law
of State Senator W. W. Steiwer,
of Gilliam county.
The gymnasium committe of the Com
mercial and Athletic club have received
word from Chicago and Providence,
Rhode Island, where eome of the ap
pliances were ordered, that the same
has been shipped. Its ' arrival here is
expected to occur in a a short time. In
the meantime the work of. remodeling
the - building is nearly completed, the
partitioning is done and the finishing
touches are being put to the plaster.
When the latter has dried sufficienty,
the walls will be papered, and then the
billiard table, bowling alley and gym
nastic apparatus will be put in. When
all this will have been accomplished
those people who want to see the best
appointed club rooms in the state, out
side of Portland, will have to come to
The Dalles to do it.
'As can be seen by the school clerk's
call, which is published in another col
umn, a meeting will be held in the Court
street school bouse Jan. Slst, to consider
the needs of the district and determine
what amount shall be voted to levy for
the support of the schools and what
amount should be raised to pay on the
indebtedness of the district. Besides
these matters the subject of providing
additional school room for the children
of the district will ccme up. The school
children in this district keep increasing
at a rate that gives the directors much
& MAYS.
concern about where to put. them.'. At
the time Clerk Jacobsen made his last
census, it was thought that tbe number
was pretty high, but the next enumera
tion, will doubtless, exceed that of last
year. ' Yesterday the' beginners classes
were organized and the entrance of these
little ones makes the demand for in
creased accommodation more imperative.
Some provision will have to be made for
additional room, and it is this matter
which the people will be called upon to
.consider at the next meeting. Tbe
growth and excellence of schools are
matters of satisfaction to the inhabitants
of The Dalles. .
Tonight is the time eet for the lecture
of ex-Attorney General . George tl. Will
iams on "Reconstruction." The subject
is one in which every reader of Ameri
can history is interested, and its treat
ment by a man like Judge Williams
should receive added interest. Few men
have had a more rounded public career
than Judge Williams; as a lawyer su
preme court judge, senator and attorney
general in President -Grant's cabinet,
his opportunities for observation have
been ample. Judge Williams is a
speaker whose words never fail to carry
weight with bis hearers. The lecture
will take place at the Congregational
church. Doors open at 7:30, lecture to
begin at 8.
A' Sherman county man, at present
residing in The Dalles, has a chance of
obtaining some fame and fortune
through this inventive powers. Mr. C.
W. Barzee received through tbe mail
yesterday from Washington a patent for
a straw-burning btove. The invention,
which Mr. Barzee perfected last spriDg,
is the result of ideas which he has enter
toined for fifteen years, though, not till
recently did he make an effort to obtain
a patent. The straw-burning stove
promises to be a naeful and convenient
arrangement. ' The points of novelty
and improvement for which the patent
was granted, being that the straw is fed
into the stove from outside the house, so
there is no dirt or straw leavings in the
room.. The beat of the room is not
changed so much in firing, as in the or
dinary wood or coal stove. The stove
can be filled with straw and the cinders
removed in one minute's time, and will
continue one hour at sufficient heat to
keep a room comfortable in ordinary
winter weather. Mri Barzee is confident
that bis invention will be found a useful
contrivance and a demand for it be
created.
Several parties irs The Dalles will re
member one D. McRichards who sev
eral months ago spent some lively days
in this city. At that time he was con
siderable of an enigma, and although
seemingly possessed of plenty of money
and having a generous desire to spend,
yet ho was not able to instill much con
fidence in those who met him. Mc
Richards came from Goldendale, where,
he said, he was the representative of
some Scotchmen of unlimited capital.
At one time . his thoughts were in the
direction ,ot building the Lyle-Golden-dale
road, and a later 'period be came to
Ths Chkoniclk with a tale about build

I MIER BENTON.
ing a railway from Goldendale to Co
lumbus. The Goldendale papers are of
the opinion that McRichards and Dr.
Hoenocb, who has raised a commotion
in Seattle, are one and the same man.
Hoenoch made the acquaintance of Gov
ernor McGraw and several other nota
ble men and invited them to a swell
spread. The banquet had to be declared
off, unfortunately, by the sudden disap
pearance of the host, who had taken
himself to parts unknown, leaving his
baggage and unpaid bills as mementoes.
If, as the Goldendale papers think, Mc
Richards is the Dr. Hoenoch of Seattle,
bis versatility and smoothness in getting
in to people should be turned to a better
and more useful account. .
Comlngl Coming! Coming!
Next week Effie Ellsler, the foremost
exponent of emotional drama, will be
seen at the Baldwin Opera House in
Shakespeare's conaedy "As You Like
It," . and Alexander Dumas' Camilla.
Miss Ellsler is possessed of remarkable
talent and artistic grace, which lends a
charm to her impersonations ; but it is
to ber naturalness and true womanliness
that she owes her popularity with the
atregoers. In these masterpieces, she
will be seen to advantage especially ' as
the surroundings will be of an unusually
brilliant character. The supporting
company has been selected with care.
Frank Weston, John A. Ellsler and
other competent people assist in the
presentation of these beautiful plays.
Mrs. M. E. Briggs wishes to announce
to the ladies of The Dalles that she has
taken the agency for the "Ideal Balm,"
a violet preparation already used bv sev
eral ladies here, who are unanimous in
pronouncing it the best they have ever
used. One application makes an agree
able change. For preventing chapped
or rough hands it is the peer of anything'
on the market. It will positively re
move freckles, tan, sun-burn and pim
ples without the least injury to tbe most
delicate skin. We are willing to rest
its popularity and its future upon the
opinion of those who use it, and conse
quently know just what it will do.
