Steamer Dalle City.
A large number of people assembled
on the D. P. & A, N. Co. dock last even
ing to greet the grand little ateamer on
her return to this port after her memo
rablo experience in the Rale of last No
vomber, which left her ao near a wreck
that the conditions were almost hope
less for her ever being restored to ser
vice; but energy, perseverance and
money will overcome great difficulties,
and from the appearance of the noble
craft, the stockholders may feel aesured
that every effort has been made to make
her a thing of beauty, of which they
may well feel proud.

of which The Dalles is the open gate
way. The Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navi

for its strong hold upon the business
community and the traveling public,
which has been maintained through

but by an honest and steadfast purpose
to succeed, assisted by the live-and-let-live

'Ouly it Tramp" Touicht.
"The Lancashire Lass" at the Vogt
last night did not draw bo good a house
as it should, but the play was well put
on, and the audience got the worth of
their money. Senter Payton is always
good; but last night Miss Vina as
"Spotty" did some of the best work the
company has yet given us. Curts never
fails to be a perfect villain, and last
night added to his laurels in that line.
Miss Lucy Payton shows much im
provement in the emotional parts since
laBt here, and last night did Borne very
clever work.
Tonight the play will be "Only a
Tramp." It furnishes abundant oppor
tunity for the display of Senter Payton's
originality, he taking the part of "Jerry,"
a poet, painter and philosopher, yet
only a tramp.
Tomorrow afternoon the company will
give a grand matinee at 2 o'clock, with
that old, but always interesting and re
alistic play "Ten Nights in a Bar-Room. "
Admission to the matinee iB only 10 and
20 'cents, affording' an opportunity for
the young folks to Bee this famous play
and to learn its moral.

The Bail Hill Came Hack.
Trayel-stained, footsore and weary, on
Wednesday morning about 2 o'clock Bill
Black arrived afoot at the ranch near
Mayville, which he had left two years
before. Without going through thn
formality of bidding them good-bye, he
deserted his wife and children and
struck out for tho British Northwest,
where no doubt he thought he would
lead a life of pleasantness by acquiring
liches without being hampered by fam
ily cares. But "far-away birds have
fine feathers," and "all is not gold that
glitters," as Bill soon found out. He
left a comfortable Hying in a fine cli
mate for a life of hard scratching to keep
body and soul together in a frozen, des
olate land, and he has come back to find
his children scattered and his wife tho
wife of another man. Until he left here
he had the respect of his follow men,
and he returns under a cloud of shame,
bereft of Belf-reBpect and the respect of
mankind. Poor Bill ! He was a good
man and an honest one, a churchman
and a member of a grand fraternal order,
and no doubt in his wandering his con
science has amply avenged the wrongs
he has done to those whom he was
bound by laws of God and man to cher
ieh and protect. Fossil Journal.
Those ICetiurvcl Seats.
This morning when the box sheet for
the minstrel show Monday night was
opened, there was a grand rush for
tickets, and as always happens on such
occasions, there was some ill feeling.
Unfortunately the box sheet was bo ar
ranged as to deceive many. Usually the
reserved seats will not number more
than 200, so the front 300 seats only are
marked on the sheet, and these were all
sold. Now the fact is that the hall will
seat easily 1100, and the 800 Beats only
take a trifle over one-fourth of the hall.
The best place to hear 1b not in front,
but from the middle, back half way to
the door. There are just aB good, and
in our opinion better seats yet to be
had than those reserved, The box
sheet has been re-arranged bo that there
is now plenty of chance to get good seats
and get them reserved. Professor Love
has a plan in view for improving the
acoustics of the hall, which he thinks
will work, and the improvements will
be mado Monday.
Mormon i'rosulytes In Chicago,
