xne "ispanisn btuaents ' represent a
class of entertainment that ' theatre
goers seldom have an opportunity to at
tend. - In times past the "Spanish
Students" represented a program purely
musical, but that of the most unusual
and bewitching nature. Instruments of
wonderful and curious construction, and
producing sounds never before heard by
American audiences . revealed new
charms of harmony never before known
to exist by the untravelled, which con
stitutes in this country the great ma
jority. The same musical "productions
will be introduced to The Dalles audi
ence, but augmented in these days by
artistic dances and specialties warranted
to please.
Prof. J. A. Churchill of the Baker
City public echools, has drilled his
pupils how to act in case of fire breaking
out. On Monday the directors of the
district and a reporter of the Democrat
visited the echool, and Churchill, as is
his practice once a month, turned in a
fire alarm and in lees than a minute the
building was vacated. The drill was
executed faultlessly.

BABY OURANG.
An Interesting Passenger Arrives on the
Local Train Today.
:
Mt. Hood Camp, Woodmen
World, gave another "smoker" last
evening to a crowded house of members
and invited guests, which consisted of
songs, speeches, games, oranges and
lemonade. The session was opened by
a song from the camp's "glee club," fol
lowed by an address of welcome by
xseigtiDor jonn JVLicneii, wnicn was)
heartily applauded. A trio by Mr Per
Kins ana uiarfce iirot tiers called tortn a
hearty encore, and the' solos by Messrs
Perkins. Clarke and Doane were an
planded to the echo. But the happiest
hit of the evening was a witty address
on AYoodcraft and its wonderful expan
sion by Neighbor Charley Stephens
The entertainment was closed by a read
ing by Dr. Doane that brought down thi
house, and, by the way, he has con
sented to read it at tlje D. of H. and
Circle. The social resulted in a large!
number pf applications, making thirty!
in the last two weeks. '"Tony" Wil-j
helm drew the lucky number of the ap
plicants for the evening, who will there-
fore eet his initiation free. "Wood
craft" is all right. , , , .

By far the most interesting passenger
on 4he incoming local train today was
Joe Storm. Joe is a baby ourang
outang. He was captured in the jungles
of Borneo, and is quite civilized in com
parison with the alleged "wild man of
Borneo." Captain Hugo Storru, whose
home is in Tacoma, while hunting "in
the forests of the island nearly three
years ago was attacked by the mother
and father ourang ontang. He had to
shoot them in self defense. There were
two babies a "boy" and a "girl." He
left the girl baby with a friend, and took
Joe to Tacoma, disposing of him to its
present owners, the Edwards Bros., who.
will exhibit him for a few days in this
city.
A reporter of The Chronicle was per
mitted to see him this, afternoon. It
presents a very human appearance, its
ears being identically tbe same as human
ears. The hands and feet are' very large
in proportion to its body, but are as
natural as human bands, as are also the
finger nails. The exhibitors say it bas
every bone of the human body, located
in tbe same manner, with the exception
oi tbe bones of the nose, which are en
tirely missing. The reporter was also
informed that there is but one other
onrang . outang in existence in the
United States at tbe present time, and
Joe is the-fifth ever brought to America.
Prof. Darwin, on discovering the exist
ence of this manlike creature, declared
there was but one link to connect it with
humanity, and this missing link is yet
being, sought in tbe wilds of Africa.
Prof. Garner has learned many words
of their language.
Joe is not very communicative, but it
is evident he understands many things
said to him in English. He is only
a baby yet and will acquire more
knowledge with growth. He per
formed several things directed him to
do today, such as marking with a pencil,
washing his face and the glass in bis
cage, etc. This animal -; has now the
strength of a boy of 9 years of age, and
will reach maturity at 15, if be lives.
And there is the- rub. They are not
tenacious" of life in northern climates,
and have never yet lived bnt a few years
after being in captivity..

Tableau
An inexperienced youth from tbe East
whom Westerners delight for some oc
cult reason to dub "tenderfoot," had an
experience yesterday which wil1 linger
in his memory for some time. Equipped
with rod and line, he started for Mill
creek, where mosyy banks and rippling
waters conceal the wary trout, much tbe
same as do the little streams which
abound in Yankeeland. He wanted
trout eggs to fish with, and meeting a
returning fisherman with a fine ' string
of fish, struck him for a dicker. The
home-bound sport, by some hidden and
rapid process of reasoning, correctly
located the stamping ground : of his
questioner and determined to have some
fun with him. He knew that his fish
were all of the male variety, and that
eggs in them would therefore be scarce,
so he offered to sell them for 10 cents
apiece, the customer to buy them all
and take his chances., The offer was
unsuspectingly accepted. Fish after fish
was opened and of coarse no eggs.
When five were opened the Eastern man
began to betray anxiety, and when
the : tenth still failed to develop the
coveted ova, the anxiens look resolved
into one of dismay. However he was in
for it and was game. The string was all
examined, and still no eggs rewarded
the search, and calmly but resolutely
the eastern fisherman banded over a
dollar and a fraction over, screwed up
his face to an assumed look of pleasure,
which nevertheless was a little grim,
and resumed his tramp toward the
creek.
The Weather and Its Effects.
The following comments appear in the
current weather bulletin, issued by
Signal Observer B. S. Pague :
Some old inhabitants recall former
winters as mild as the one just past has
been, but such mild winters are ex
tremely rare. The. winter throughout
bas been milder than has heretofore
been recorded since records have been
made,. now covering a period of. 25 years.
The weather was exceedingly favorable
to farming operations. Plowing and
seeding were actively prosecuted
throughout the month as in January.
The stock was unsheltered, and range
grass was good. The result is cattle and
sheep are in prime condition. Fall-sown
grain has made a good .start, and the
winter-sown is in excellent condition.
Toward the close of the month, peach,
almond and apricot were swelling their
buds, and in favored localities were in
full bloom. The cold period of March 1
and 2 killed all those buds in full bloom,
which comparatively were few," but
others were retarded in their develop
ment, which proved of benefit' rather
than of injury.'. Rosea made new v wood
of from four to twelve inches in length
during the month. . Tulips, hyacinths
and other early flowering bulbs bloomed
in' the open air in many localities. Berry
and currant buBh.es put forth leaves.
