The committee in charge of the social of
Temple Lodge, No. 3, A. O. U. W.,

Through a misunderstanding in the
correspondence between Manager Birg
feld and the Effie Ellsler- company, a
mistake was made in the date for next
week. The company will play Thurs
day .and Friday of next week at the
Baldwin, instead of Wednesday and
Thursday, as previously announced.
The contractors have said that the
lock 8 will be completed for the passage
of boats by March 1st. It is less than
six weeks till that date. Granting that
the outcome will be as the contractors
have said, it is time that preparations
were begun for celebrating the event.
It might be well to call a meeting of the
Commercial Club and discuss the matter.

office today,
Judd Fish, w

Places of Palestine." Mr. Thompson
has travelled extensively and his lecture
will be upon facts gleaned from per
sonal observation and for this reason
cannot fail to be very interesting. Ttiis
date is not upon the course tickets, as
the lecture was intended to be delivered
earlier in the month. Ticket holders
and others are requested to remember
the date, January 28th, in the Congre
gational church.
A lodge ot the Woodmen Circle was

$2000, may be taken out by members.
The new lodge in The Dalles has a mem

Mr. C. W. Rice, who has just returned
from Honolulu, is not one of those per
sons who are enthusiastic in wishing
that the Hawaiian islands were annexed
to the United States. Mr. Rice spent
some time in. Honolulu and is not favor
ably impressed with the native popula
tion as he found it. Those Americans
who have gone there with money have
done well, but the natives are dissolute,
ignorant and seemingly incapable of
progress. Mr. Rice enjoyed his visit
there and the journeys across the ocean.
The cabin fare from San Francisco to
Honolulu first-class is $75, second-class
$25. Mr.fB.ice left here last summer
going first to Arizona for his health and
later to Honolulu. He returns feeling
much better.

The repairs to the wood work on the
Regulator are nearly completed. It is
intended to paint the outside of the
steamer, the interior being in such good
condition that it will probably not be
necessary to paint it. A good deal of
work must yet be done to. the boiler and
it will be eight or ten days before the re-
pairs to that necessary adjunct to the
steamer is completed. The Regulator
will not be launched till the dangers of a
freeze up are over.
On Tuesday evening will occur the
next lecture in the winter course at the
Congregational church. Hon. D. P,
Thompson of Portland, who was minis

At tne Baldwin Seit Week.
Effic Ellsler, who is to appear at the
Baldwin next week comes well recom
mended. She played an engagement at
at the Marquam in Portland and her ap
pearance was well received by the
theatre goers of the metropolis. The
following notice is taken from the Ore
gonian :
It is said that Erne Ellsler has never
been seen to such advantage as in her
latest character, Shakespeare's RoBelind.
Tbe assertion is a somewhat broad one
to make, when is recalled, her earlier
success, "Hazel Kirke," but there ap
pears to be good reason for saying so, if
tbe reports of her performance are to be
relied upon. Miss Ellsler ia said to be
without a peer in her line of the drama,
and her place is among the most distin
guished American actresses. She is a
well-established favorite with playgoers,
and always receives a cordial welcome to
this city. "As You Like It" is one of
Shakespeare's masterpieces of comedy,
and a grand production is promised.
That clever character actor, Frank Wes
ton, will be the Touchstone, and Mr.
Jonn A. Ellsler will play Adam. The
cast is a large one, and introduces sever
al vocalists. Miss Ellsler's engagements
have always been highly satisfactory.
Wheat Is Takiog a Rise.
The Dallea wheat aiarket is strength
ening along with theVmkrketa in other
places. Since last weeVhthe price has
risen from 45 cents toibvcents. which
figure is the quotation giKen out today.
The trading is light, mcfetVf the farm
ers having sold earlier inxhe fall, when
the rise in price was problematical.
There is not much wheat in the ware
houses at present and the roads a. e in
that condition which makes hauling im
possible. Those who all along have
prophesied that the price in The Dalles
would reach 50 cents have the pleasure
of seeing their judgment proved correct,
as two cents above that figure was given
as the quotation at the Wasco ware
house this morning. It can be depend
ed upon that The Dalles market will
pay the highest price for wheat, as it'
doea for wool, in Eastern Oregon. The
market is in Euch a feverish condition
that it is dangerous to hazard any guess
as to what is to follow. The present
rise is due, buyers say, to a demand for
milling purposes. Through the agency
of the Rattlesnake road, the Sherman
county people are getting the benefit of
the rise, as 50 cents have been offered
at Biggs.
V The Commercial Review has furnished
YHB Chronicdb with the following
statement oi tne con anion in Portland :
The course of the wheat market dur
ing the week under review was of a
favorable character to holders, and a
moderate businees was done in Walla
Walla wheat, at a material advance
over prices ruling a short time ago.
Most of the recent transactions were
made in the interior, the spot market
showing few signs of activity. Prices
have advanced fully four cents per cent
al over the preceding weeir. Sales of
higher, owing to dieturbancps in Europe.
The Ctncaeo wheat market has been
ery strong during the past week, Bell
ing up to within a shade of b& cents, and
promises good returns to investors at
present prices. The heavy traderp, such
as Cudahy and Pardridge, have been
buying liberally and are not afraid of
expressing their bullish convictions.
SAN FRANCISCO MARKETS.
Shipping wheat has been in active de
mand, and while at times rumors were
of a weakening nature in the tone of the
market, holders were totally indiilerent
and were backward in making offerings.
Walla Walla have been reported on the
basis of $1.04 here for milling account.
While the export demand indicates no
pressure, to buy, yet shippers are in tbe
market at advanced quotations, and keep
in line with tbe rise in values abroad.
The inquiry from England for prompt
shipment cargoes has at no time been
what could be called . active, yet it is an
improvement over the marked inactivity
prevailing during the closing months of
last year. At the East wheat was very
active, accompanied at times by sharp
fluctuations. The general appearance
of the market is favorable to a general
advance in values, which however,
must necessarily be slow, as the heavy
visible supply in all countries does not
justify any short supplies, and it would
tie well tor holders to canvass tbe situa
tion throughout and not place their ex
pectations too high. Receipts of wheat
the past week were small, owing to
severe snow storms. Shipments foreign
were 79,000 centals. Exporters' bids
for Walla Walla wheat here are 56 cents
per bushel, and for valley 59 cents.
EASTERN MARKETS.
There was considerable interest maci
fested in the leading eastern markets
the past week ; the volume of business
was larger. The receipt of grain at the
leading distributing centers was fairly
liberal, though not so large as during the
first few weeks of this year. Offerings
ai interior points were lair. The move
ment of grain eastward from Chicago
was quite liberal and widely distributed,
largely to manufacturing and milling
sections, in the speculative markets,
tne wneat market was of an active na
ture at times, and the market closes
higher than a week ago. It looked at
one time that the market wonld get so
bullish that prices might go materially
BOOKS,
Rathbone Sisters' Banquet.
Last evening occurred the banquet
given by the lodge of Rathbone Sisters.
The Knights of Pythias hall was crowded
with ladiea .And gentlemen who had
gathered to complete the organization of
ttis popular lodge. The newly installed
officers took charge of the meeting and
carried on the initiation of twenty-five
Knights of Pythias, who. applied for ad
mission to the Rathbone Sisters. It is
needless to say that all the ceremonies
were carried on with that solemnity and
precision so-necessary upon such occa
sions. After this part of the evening's
work was concluded, the members re
paired to the banquet ball where a feast,
that would have caused delight to the
Epicures of old, had. been prepared.
While the courses were being served the
springs of eloquence flowed and bright
thoughts couched in pleasing language,
added to the pleasure and dignity of the
evening. Among those who made ap
propriate addresses were Hons. W. H.
Wilson, E. B. Dufur, W. L. Brads.haw,
Capt. V. C. Brock and several other
gentlemen, all of whom proving them
selves graceful after-dinner speakers
Not till the room of midnight bad come
and gone did the banquet come to a
close. The occasion was one which will
long continue as one of the brightest
events in the history of Pythianism, and
the Rathbone Sisters in The Dalles.
During the evening Mrs. Houston, the
organizer, made a fitting response to an
address presented to her and which con
veyed the thanks and appreciation of
the lodge for her efforts in instituting
the order of Rathbone Sisters in The
Dallea.
