looked after if The Dalles is 'to rise to
that commercial importance which be
longs to her by right of topographical
and geographical position. Tne Dalles
should, control the trade of that entire
region of country bounded by the Cas
cades on the west, the Prineville region
in the- south, a large portion of Sherman

1 tie delegates ot the county conven
tion were invited to a grand Republican
rally at 8 o'clock Saturday evening, and
the invitation was accepted. The meet
ing was under the auspices of the Mc
Kinley club, of which Mr. F, V. Wilson
is president, and that gentleman pre
sided. The hall was filled with dele
gates and Republicans from both, the
city and county. Mr. Cooxe of Hood
River set the ball rolling by a ridic
ulously funny burlesque' epeech on the
coinage question. This speech had the
effect of putting everyone in good humor
and anxious for the solids to follow.
Mr. M. P. Isenberg next gave a charac
teristic epeech, abounding In ' good Re
publican doctrine, forcibly expressed.
Mr. John Micbell followed with an able
expose of the Republican attitude on
the tariff and coinage questions. Mr. M.
A. Moody was next 'called .upon, for a
speech.- He responded briefly', thank
ing the delegates who voted in his in
terests at the convention just past. Mr.
B. S. Huntington then made a very ap
propriate and witty speech, followed by
Mr. Hugh Gourlay in one of his felicitous
efforts. This rally, the first after the
convention, gives the Republican part
of 'the campaign an impetus that will
gain strength as time advances and re
sult in an overwhelming victory at the
polls next June. The delegates present
were in splended humor to accept the
invitation given at the close of the meet
ing by the Commercial' Club, to. enjoy
the hospitality of the club rooms, and
nearly, .all availed t themselves of the
kindness. They .were soon thereafter
entertaining themselves in a jolly man
ner at .the bowling alley and other
points of interest at the club. - ' '

MITCHELL IN RUINS.
One-Half of the Town Destroyed Firs'
Swift Work.
r
I The lower part of the town of Mitchell
fwas almost entirely destroyed by fire on
Wednesday afternoon, March 25th. -The
first news possible to get is from the
Mitchell Monitor, owing to the extreme
ly poor mail facilities of that inland
town. Mitchell is ninety miles from
Antelope, and a stage runs from Mitchell
through Antelope. to The Dalles. There
is no telegraphic communication, and as
the Antelope stage does not wait for the
Mitchell mail, it . is often four or five
days before a letter can reach the rail
road from Mitchell. -
The fire originated in Misener's new
block in lower town on the lower floor,
occupied by W. L. Palmer and J. F.
Magee. It is not known how the fire
started, Mr. Palmer's family being ab
sent at the time. When the fire was
first discovered the smoke and flames
were bursting through the roof and sides
of the building and in leBS time than it
takes to tell it the whole building was in
flames. The front part was occupied by
J. F. Magee as a grocery store, and the
upper story was a hall occupied Dy. the
Knights of Pythias and the A. O. TJ. W.
The flames soon commenced with adjoin
ing buildings, and as quite a . strong
wind waff blowing Jup the canyon there
was no hope of saving them. It was
only by the most strenuous efforts that
the fire was prevented from reaching
the upper portion of the town.
The following ia believed to be the
only insurance : S. T. Brennan f 500, R.
E. Misener $2,800, J. F. Magee $500.
Total $3,800.
The buildings burned are as follows:
Misener block, described above ; the old
Mitchell hotel 'adjoining on the west;
three residences owned by R. E.
Misener, occupied by S. F. Allen, R. E.
Misener and N. SMisener, respectively.
A. O. McEachern's residence, black
smith shop, saloon and livery stable,
and Misener's saloon. Misener's wine'
cellar, the old store building formerly
occupied by L. ; Howard, the Monitor
office, Sasser'a store building and barns
and Geo. Collins' shop alone remain in
lower town. Household goods were
moved ' into the street, but most were
burned. W. L. Palmer and J. F. Magee
saved absolutely nothing of their house
hold effects, the others losing almost
everything, much of it burning in the
streets after being removed from the
houses.
The Brownie Entertainment.
One of the most unusual, yet delight
ful, church entertainments was the
Brownies Saturday night at .the Bald
win. It attracted a house full of people,'
whe took no note of time, because they
were pleased to the last fall ot the cur
tain. The chief source of interest, of
couee, were -the ; Brownies themselves,
who appeared eight, times during the
evening.. When ;ithe .curtain. . rose for
their first Appearance and they -filed in
through the winga and began a fantastic
march, the lights being turned down in

the auditorium, they seemed to people a
fairy world, apart irom the practical one
just before them, an elf-land where the
unexpected was to be expected, capable
of all sorts of. hobgoblin antics, such as
are gleaned from nursery lore or the re
ality of a childish dream. ' This experi
ence was enhanced by the Brownies act
ine entirely in pantomime. There were
nearly thirty of them, little people with
fat stomachs, gaily costumed, and flit
ting among each other with a central
purpose, yet no concerted manner of at
taining it. Once only after the arrival
chorus did they use their voices, the
Brownies at singing school, but the
combined product of sound, as might
have been expected, was a Babel - of
noise, yet not noisy, no two having the
same key or saying the same words, if
indeed they were words at all. Very
comical was the Brownies at the polls,
imitating the action of their elders with
all "their earnestness and conflicting in
terests. ...;.' .. . . ,, ;
The baby Brownie, was "Alden New
man, 3 years old. Of about the same
size, but a year older, was Gilbert Kelly.
These two - midgets did not exhibit the
least embarrassment, and kept the au
dience laughing with their natural and
inimitable antics.
The numbers between the appearance
of the Brownies were very satisfactorily
given. Especially worthy of comment
were the boIos by Miss Aldrich, the eu
phonium solo by Mr. J. G. Miller and
the recitations by Miss Vandersal, and
they' were compelled to respond to en
thusiastic encores.
The entertainment . will be repeated
this . evening, with some changes in the
musical program and a different recita
tion, by Miss Vandersal, as there were
many who were prevented from attend
ing Saturday- evening by other'engage
ments. ' "'
Died.
: Peter, the son of P. A. Johnson, who
was-injured at play, died at 4 o'clock
this morning. The cause' of his. death
was being struck in the abdomen by a
plank revolving on a pivot, which re
sulted in inflammation and his death.
The funeral . will take place in the
