Katie Putnam Coming.
The Dalles has an unenviable reputa
tion as a patron . of good shows. We
think our people thoroughly appreciate
a first-class play, but the trouble is that
they somehow all turn out to see some
measly take, and then the really merit
orious companies get the cold shoulder,
until finally they conclude to try it
once more, and they are almost certain
to make the trial on the next fake that
comes along, only to - get home with an
additional load of disgust. What we
need is to switch and miss the poor ones
for a time. The coming of Miss Katie
Putnam - affords a splendid opportunity
to begin She stands high in her pro
fession, is now playing an engagement
at the Marqrjam in Portland, and should
have a crowded house here.
The only way . to get good companies
here is to patronize them, and if we do
this and let the barnstormers go unpat
ronized, we will not be long afflicted
with the latter class. Miss Putnam
shows here on the 16th.
Church at Rufas.

Edi'Toe Chronicle: Elder A. D.
Skaggs, pastor of the First Christian
church of Tho Dalles, and your haaible
scribe, came to this place on Sunday of
last week to conduct ' a series of gospel
meetings. We find the good people of
Rufus and vicinity have' erected a com'
fortable little church house, but as yet
tuere is no ciiutcd organization nere.
The meeting has become very interest
ing and . the attendance is excellent,
though the roads are bad. ' We will pro
ceed" to organize a Christian church, here
on Sunday morning after preaching. A
score of names has already been handed
us as charter members. The dedication
of the house will take place in the near
future. A. G. Hoering

nam ranks among the foremost of met
ropolitan stars and her engagement here
in The Dalles cannot fail to be success
ful, as our people delight in dramatic
productions that are worthy of their
commendations. ' This Is the first time in
many years that Miss Putnam has had
a chance to come here and we promise
that ber reception will be most cordial.
Enterprise has given us a well equipped
opera house, and it is . our duty to en
courage the coming of good attractions.
No Harm Done. S
We are in receipt of a letter from the
mayor of Richland,' New Mexico, statins
that a man . named Henry Rice was
hanged there two weeks -ago by the
local vigilance committee. The charge
against him was ' stealing r cayuse, but
scarcely had he been buried when it was
discovered that a mistake had been
made and the wrong man banged. Al
though they went to work and hanged
the right man, the people felt a little
conscience stricken. It was ascertained
that Rice was from this town, and the
mayor writes to express regrets and ask
what can be done about it. Rice left
herd about three months ago. Our peo
ple will remember him as a lazy, shift
less critter, with no ambition above
getting drunk. There was some talk of
banging him here, and -had he held on
long enough that would have been his
fate. We can't see where any barm has
been done. - He didn't steal" the cayuse,
but it was just as well to hang him and
get him off the earth. ' He bad no rela
tives, we believe, and if he had they
would not raise a row about it. If the
good people of Richland have nothing
more on their conscience thev need
worry no longer. -

D. V.. Ivahov and Peter iKulatuhof,
members of the Russian geological sur
vey, have been for some time past inves
tigating the mineral resources of Siberia
along the route of the great Siberian
railroad. They traveled a vast distance
of mountain region. Their duty was to
explore the country for 100 miles on the
strip along which the road rune or is
surveyed, so as to get a good idea of
what the countrv afforded.
"We found it a wonderful country and
in point of scenery and in its resources
of gold, silver, copper, lead, coal and
other minerals," said one of the gentle
men. "It was 'all that we could have
desired. We collected many specimens
of different kinds of ore, which we are
taking back with us to St. Petersburg.
In places, besides minerals, are - enor
mous areas of magnificent agricultural
lands, available ' chiefly for wheat, oats,
barley and other cereale. The great
rivers afford fine opportunities for com
mercial development. It has a thous
and interests that can only be alluded
to."
