Mr. Ii. H. Campbell, the inventor of

Goldendale. He states that they are
taking hold of the matter with much
vim, and that the enterprise will be a
go. He was interviewed by many busi

mous in their expression of the advisa
bility of establishing a transportation
company and secure a right of way either
to The Dalles or to Lyle. ' Mr. Campbell
does not believe there will be any
trouble in securing either the taking of
stock or the right of way. There will
also be a liberal bonus for the object of
constructing a suitable wagon road.

A PATHETIC REQUEST.
and Mrs. Campbell's Dying Child
Wanted to go With Mamma.
he funeral of Josephine Campbell
odcurred , yesterday at the Episcopal
cnurch. She was aged 5 years, 4 months
aid 7 days. The parents are yet stran
gers in our community, and the funeral
as not largely attended. Their advent
to onr community is a sad one. About
wo weeks ago Dr. T. F. Campbell and
wife, and their little daughter arrived in
Portland, en route for The Dalles, where
the doctor proposed to take up his resi
dence. The family put up at the Barr
hotel on Glisan street, and soon after lit
tle Josephine was taken very sick. Her
ailment developed into brain fever, re
ulting fatally. The child realized that
he was dying. She knew that shell
ould not long remain here, so she said
o her mother:
"Mamma, please do not let me stav
here after I'm dead. I want to go witn
you." I
The pathos of that appeal must hava
greatly intensified the grief of that heart
broken mother, and little Josephine's!
d ving request was granted. The last eadi
page of the chapter was the funeral yes
terday. Little Josephine was always an inter
esting child, beloved by everyone and
the very idol of her parents hearts. At
the age of 4 she read in the newspapers
and wrote letters to her friends in the
East. She was bright and beautiful and
to all appearances of good constitution.
Her fatal illness is believed to have been
superinduced for some weeks by typhoid
infection, by measles and by cutting
permanent teeth. Travel, change of
climate, even the sea voyage was taken
for her and with mnch apparent benefit.
Resting at Portland over Sunday she
was taken seriously ill. All that skill
and lonng care could do was hers. Four
of Portland's leading physicans and her
father gave every possible attention.
Though the blow was lightened little
Josephine seems to have been called to
go, She passed away peacefully to her
rest Thursday, May 7, at six in the even
ing. She was interred on Sunday, yes
terday, at The Dalles with the beauti
ful burial service of the Episcopal
church, surrounded by friends and flo
ral offerings. Her parents have the
sympathy of all. .
Be Knows Crittenton.
. The following is taken from a letter
written by a gentleman in Eureka, Cal.,
to a friend in The Dalles concerning Mr.
Crittenton, the evangelist, and his work.
He says :
"We had him here last year. He will
do your chnrches no harm. ' He has no
axes to grind outside of saving the lost.
He is no proselyter and has no selfish
ends to gain ; sincere and earnest not a
sermonizer, but a pleasant talker.' All
churches here united in general services
in the armory hall, the largest in the
city, and the effect was good on all the
chnrches'. He is independent financially
and otherwise. ' He is no beggar and is
not embarrassed, by mixing up money
with the more needful things of the soul

calls and feel freeto invite everybody to

a week, and the boys are taking a lively
interest. The first open air concert of
the summer will take place next Sunday
afternoon, probably at the Academy
grounds, though the location is not yet
definitely known. This concert will
exceed in musical merit anything ever
before given by The Dalles band. The
band is this week practicing on what is
known as a "descriptive" piece, entitled
"The Dance of the Goblins." This will
include mechanical contrivances to imi
tate the singing of birds, the chirping of
crickets, shooting, the clock striking the
midnight hour, etc. The bird imitations
will be of the nightingale, cuckoo, lark
and others. This is a class of music
never before attempted and will meet
with unbounded appreciation. The
next descriptive piece in contemplation
is "The Hunting Scene," in imitation of
various animals.
