January 1st the Regulator line will
put in effect its redacod tariff, which in
some cases amounts to almost fifty per

charges permit a generous decrease in

light enough to illuminate every high

From the same source will come power

THOSE DOGGONED DOGS.
Complaint is made by residents on
Third street, in the East End, that all
the town dogs gather about the foot of
the Rinehart steps, sing dog opera and
recite doggarel nearly all night, and
every night. One big yaller dog with h
basso profundo voice eternally yowls his
favorite song, "The Pope he Leads a
Merry Life," while a slate-colored mon
grel, with a voice like a paper of pins,
very appropriately sings "My Bark Is
On the U." A big black American dog,
who is a combination of all kinds and
degrees of doge, has no voice worth
mentioning, and so acts as critic and
leader of the doggoned band, racing np
and down the steps and over, the side
walks, trying to make np In contortion
for what be lacks in bark.
We once criticised the then mayor for
saying this city had io.uuu does too
many. We didn't believe him, but will
say, by way of excuse, that Te did not
lve here then. We acknowledge our
mistake, and concede that in his state
ment one word waB left out. It should
have been 15,000 acres of dogs. We like
dogs, in any reasonable number, and we
like people who like dogs and take
care of them ; but a dog without a home
is almost as low down as a man under
the same conditions. He grows cultus,
utterly so, and is only fit for soap
greaee. If you, gentle reader, own a
dog, give him a chance to retain his re
spectability by providing him a place to
sleep and make him or her stay off the
street at night. If your dog insists on
barking at trie moon, remember that
your neighbor's soul is in jeopardy, and
go thou to the kennel of the cur (not
the -neighbor) and . persuade him to si
lence with a club, or at least do not object
if the neighbor performs this christian
duty for you.
The city's finances are low, and so are
its lights, and we suggest that a tax on
dogs would provide a fund, if paid, that
would - illuminate the whole city, and if
unpaid would at least lighten the weight
of woe borne impatiently by a long-suf
fering public, and also decrease the
superfluity of dog. .

Martin Marionettes Tonight.
Martin, the magician, and ventrilo
quist, begins a week's engagement at
the Vogt tonight. The fact that he is
going to remain here a week is a suffi
cient guaranty that he is not afraid to
be judged by his works. He has fifteen
Marionette specialty performers and
has. an entirely new program each
night. There is something fascinating
about ventriloquism, and the quaint
actions of the seemingly animate little
marionette figures that is sureo attract
not only the young folks but the older
as well. This is pre-eminently the show
the little folks will enjoy, and will assist
in making their Cbrietmae holiday one
long to be remembered.
Mr. Martin shows at the Vogt. Doors
open at 7:30, performance at 8:30.

the Monmouthshire for Honolulu.
They were tendered a banquet at the
Umatilla House Satnrda'y night, where
many of their friends met to bid them
good bye. Mr. Wilson was called on
for a speech, and his remarks, which we
are told occupied twenty minutes, are
spoken of as being in his happiest vein,
which means they were the best such an
occasion would permit. . If the boys have
as good a time as their friends wish
them, they will think they are in Para

A week or ten days ago Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew Linton were coming to town
riding in a two-horse hack. On a side
hill grade on 10-Mile one wheel struck
a snow drift, and in a moment the hack
was upset and with the horses, was roll
ing down the bill. Mrs-. Linton struck
in the snow and rolled over and over for
four or five rods. Mr. Linton dropped
the lines as he fell, but seeing his wife
rolling down the hill, took frantically
after her. Fortunately she was not
hart, barring a few scratches on her
face. A young man who saw the acci
dent came to Mr. Linton's assistance,
and to see if the horses were dead gave
one of them a kick. The boree began
to struggle, and then away the whole
outfit went rolling down the hill. No
damage was done except the breaking
