H. Campbell, the inventor of the wagon train, has returned from 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 ness men and farmers, who were unani 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. The Joys of Birthdays. Last Saturday a few of the many friends of Mrs. Crossen, remembering that it was the anniversary of her birth day, planned and carried out for her a surprise that was a successful one. The ladies assembled at Mrs. Crossen's resi dence at 3 o'clock, and spent a very merry four hours in games, singing, and brick. efireht f-m , PEASE in lingering at the table over the discus sion of a sumptuous luncheon.

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 RIMER & BENTON Are now located at 167 Second Street, opposite A. M. Williams & Co., with a complete line of Hardware, Stoves and Ranges, Groceries, Cord Wood, Cedar Posts, Barbed Wire, Rubber Garden Hose. Plumbing' and Tinning a specialty. Also agents for the Cele brated Cleveland Bicycle. I wish be would come again. Here he took rooms at a hotel like a commercial traveler, because he wanted to receive calls and feel freeto invite everybody to his room. He is one of a thousand rich, and is spending his fortune in seeking and saving the lost. I hope he will be much blessed in The Dalles." BAND REORGANIZED.

Tligljaiid will iBbtialbO nlfreetimes 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.
