JANUARY 24. 1S96 BRIEF MENTION. Learel From the notebook of Chronicle Keporteri, The tiver is at a standstill. ' The weather bureau ,6 ays tomorrow will be fair with a stationary tem perature. The installation of officers tor Dalles Assembly United Artisans, will be held tomorrow evening. xne recorder s court is occupied to day with hearing ch&'ges of aseault and battery preferred against Harry Lane and T Maloney. The poetical expression "Oh for a lodge in some vast wildernes 1" does not apply to The Dalles. We have lodges of different kinds . enough to suit the most fastidious. The committee in charge of the social of Temple Lodge, No. 3, A. O. U. W., which was held January ICth, wish to return thanks to all who assisted in making the evening the success that it was. 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. An elk a bead, nnelv mounted with a pair of wide branching antlers, attracted much attention in te Umatilla House office today, Judd Fish, w vvasco county yoii abilities as a ta ministration, will tell about "The Holy 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 instituted in The Dalles yesterday. The officers were elected Thursday, and will be installed today. The Woodmen Cir cle is a beneficiary order, which has had a prosperous career in the past. Insur ance amounts, ranging, from 500 to $2000, may be taken out by members. The new lodge in The Dalles has a mem bership of worthy ladieB and gentlemen. Following are the officers chosen : Wor thy Guardian, Mrs Inez Filloon ; Ad viser, Mrs K J Webber: UlerK, Mrs Adella Phirman ; Banker, Elizabeth Joles; Great Magician. Mrs Frank Clark; Attendant, Mrs C BCushing; Physician, O D Doane; Inside Sentinel, Mrs W H Young; Outside Sentinel, Mrs James Snipes. . 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 ter to Turkey during the Harrison ad- 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.
