Foot-ball the fair grounds New Year's

saw a scientific game of kicking the pig

The Dalles is having plenty of amuse
ment just now. Last week it was Mar
tin in a six davs' engagement. SI
Perkins two nights this week, Yaw .to
night, Uncle' Tom's Cabin , tomorrow
night, and the skating rink and Salva
tion Army every night.
Monday when the Si Perkins band
was playing, a runaway occurred in the
East End, but nobody paid any atten
tion to it, just let it ran. Music bath
charm more potent than a' runaway
team for Dalles people ; which shows
that our cult (whatever that is) is all
the same Boston man's. That's one of
the things we are noted for, that and
and onr tout ensemble, especially the
tout.
Tomorrow is he last day in which
proof can be made, on cash entries of
forfeited railroad land. The taxable
property of the counties where the lands
are located, will be largely increased on
this account, as there have been many
thousand acres purchased.
The Si Perkins show last night was a
genuine bilk. The curtain was down
most of the time, while traps were being
packed for shipment, and the play was
cut right and left to get through and go
off on t he train. The first night's show
was good enough, bat last night was the
worst kind of a fake. For one thing it
served to demonstrate the necessity of
getting the curtain up promptly and
early.
Thursday evening the Salvation. Army
will have something new in the way-of
a "Trade's Union" march and meeting.
After the meeting, coffee and cake will
be served at 10 cents. The services of
burying the old yearand welcoming the
new one, will take place at 11 o'clock.
The Woodmen Circle ' will give a
literary and musical, entertainment at
Fraternity hail on New Years night.
The entertainment will conclude with a
social hop. Miss J. Montague Griswold,
who ie an elocutionist of rare talent, of
Portland, will recite on this occasion.
Admission, ladies 10 cents, gentlemen
25 cents.
Class Gathering.
Song and Sapper.
About twenty-six of the members of
Mr. Wm. Michell'e Sunday school' class,
which numbers fthirtv, were entertained
at his residence' on Fourth and Wash
ington streets last evening. The young
ladies had apparently looked forward to
this annual gatheringsnd eo-were ready
to enjoy every pleasure, afforded. The
early part of the evening was spent in
sketching, each one being given a card
bearing the name of some article or ani
mal to sketch. As the artistic ability of
the different participants was shown,
and the critics endeavored to name each
article drawn, a greatdeal ot amusement
was created. MissT'Jennie Young came
out ahead in the guessing contest and
Miss Lola Eubank, although proving
herself equal to drawing as fine a bicycle
as every adorned a blackboard, failed
when it came to judging of her compan
ions' abilities. After Mrs. Michell had
served lnp.ch, some very fine charades
were acted and again kept the guests
busy guessing. Then all joined heartily
in singing till a late hour.
The members of the class present
were : Misses Nettie Fredden, Julia and
Clara Nickelsen, Edie Fisher, Jessie and
Carrie Butler, Alice Ball, Martha and
Constance Whealdon, Mable Cross, Effie
and Vesta Bolton, Katie Sargeant, Grace
Willerton, Jennie Young, FrancrsvVan
Vactor, Mollie Norman, Maie and Edna
Barnett, Emma and Maude St. Johns,
Martha Schooling, Ardie Looney. '
Former members Mfeses Edith Ran
dall, Lola Eubank and Lizzie Schooling.
For Ladies Only.
Leap year ends tomorrow night, and
comes no more until 1904. Therefore,
i we have been considering the advisabil
ity of publishing the list of young ladies
left over. We think'the bargain counter
feature of our idea a fine one, and we
believe The Dalles could offer some re
markably choice selections in this line.
Onr acquaintance is entirely too limited
to undertake the affair nnless we can
get assistance; "but if the ladies will
kindly send in their names, with such
information as to them may seem best,
we will gladly publish them. Just be
fore the seaside season we will have a
special clearance advertisement oLrem
nanta that will clear out the stock. We
do not propose to be behind our contem
poraries; not if it takes the last button
off our coat.

Editor Chronicle: .
Through the medium ot your paper
the undersigned desires to respectfully
request the members of the Oregon
legislature to so change the law regard
ing the manner and time of auditing the
bills of the road enpervisors. Under
the present law, as I understand, if a
man is appointed to that office and re
fuses to serve, he is liable to a heavy
fine and if he serves he must wait until
the end of the year before he can have
his bills audited and get his pay, and is
liable to have his bills cut down if in
the judgment of the county court he has
done too . much work. The natural re-
heult is that, under the present law.
many' roads are more or less neglected,
the supervisors, many of whom are poor
men, not daring to take the chances and
wait so long for their pay. .Now what I
would ask is that the law be changed so
that the road supervisors' bills snail be
andited and paid at the regular sessions
of the county courts at the same time
when other county officials are settled
with, and by such frequent settlements
we will have better roads. The courts
will know at all times past bow tie
work ib progressing, and if too much is
being done, can check it, or if too little,
increase it. All the pnblic is interested
in good roads, and I hope our legislators
will take speedy action in this matter.
Respectfully,
. '. W. R. WlNANS.
