Quite a number of Dalles people went
up the road on last night's flyer for the
purpose of ridiDg to Biggjr on the first
train over the Columbia Southern.
Among them were iHn. Lytle and
family. Miss May Kpright, secretary of
the company. Mr.AJiggs, owner of the
Wasco townsite, ccompanied bv Mrs.
Biggs and Miss Ethel Deming. There
were several otters, whose names our
reporter failed tq get.
Yesterday at the Methodist Sunday
school Rev. Wood delighted the children
with a ten-minute illustrated sermon,
taking lor his text "The blood of His
Son, Jesus Christ, cleanBeth us from all;
sin." By means of bottles filled with
liquid he represented how the life was
tainted by sin, and endeavored to im
press upon their minds the only means
by which it can be eradicated. The
school was very much interested, and;
tendered Mr. Wood a vote of thanks.
W. H. Moon, of the Tongue Point sa
loon, Upper Astoria, last Thursday shot
from his doorway a large American
eagle. The huge bird was in the act of
rising from the water with a fish in his
talons when Mr. Moon drew a bead on
him. The shot took effect in the breast,
and Moon soon had as fine a specimen
of the golden eagle as perhaps waa ever
killed in Oregon. The outstretched
wings measure seven feet four inches
from tip to tip.
Chris Simpson, a Helix farmer, who
is among those that "struck it rich" in
Umatilla county grainfields this year,
just closed the purchase of the W. O.
Warren place, near Warren station.
Mr. Simpson is exchanging $9000 in cash
for this fine wheat farm, which consists
of 360 acres. He had a large crop this
year, and feels that Umatilla county
land is the best possible investment to
muke with the proceeds. He has 20,000
bushels yet to sell.
Frank, eon Rev. J. H. Wood, was
severely hurt Saturday afternoon while
playing bail at the fair ground. He was
eatcher and was standing at the home
plate stooping to catch a ball as a player
came home. Accidentally the base
runner in touching the home plate
struck Frank in the forehead with his
knee, the blow being severe enough to
cause concussion of the brain. Frank
was unconscious for twentv-four hours.

The Fossil Journal was eleven years
old Oct. 1st. Eight of those years it has
been under the management of James
S. Stewart, who will continue to fill its
pages with bright and wholesome mat
ter. To Bay that the Journal is a good
newspaper, would be to damn it with
faint praiae. It is more than that. Its
editorials are always thoughtful, logical
and well written, while its local page is

they may continue to do so for many

the Journal is taking the press dispatches
and has blossomed into an eight page
daily.
Thursday a trainloadof cattle, twenty
two cars, was forwarded eastward from
Baker City. Most of these cattle were
bought in the Powder river and the
Burnt river sections. A great many are
of the Hereford and Gallaway breed,
and the prices for them ranged from $28
for 2-year-olds to $30 for 3-year-olds,
which is the best figures sellers have ob
tained for the past decade. The ship
ment goes mainly to Omaha, and com
prises 600 head of as fine beef cattle as
can be gathered from any range.
The firm of Pease & Mays is to have a
grand opening tonight. The big floor is
filled from floor to ceiling with goods,
and the display is one that would be a
credit to a city of 100,0000 inhabitants.
We noticed, perched high up on one of
the back shelves, a figure representing a
Klondiker. As one leg was considerably
longer than the other and his face
seemed to have a sort of an5thing-but-beans
expression, we judged he was of
the class known as returned Klondikers.
The ticket office opens at 7 :30 and the

Women an IT l'm4al Banks.
Wherever postal savings banks are in
operation women are among the most
appreciative patrons of the system. As
a rule women are more careful of email
sums than men, and seem to have a more
practical realization of the value of such
accumulations. In many families it is
only the foresight of the wile that leads
to provision being made against a day
of adversity. The desire of women
more generally than of men is for a
place of absolute safety for their small
savings rather than high rates of inter
ests. Consequently they are especially
appreciative of the stability which the
postal savings bank affords.
Probably congress could do no other
one thing that. would so commend it to
the women of the country as would the
establishment of a postal savings bank
system. Chicago Record.
Or Coarse He Would.
Prof. Jacobsen created quite a sensa
tion in Fossil this morning, by walking
along the Btreet carrying a baby on each
arm. As Jake has always claimed to be
an unmarried man, naturally quite a
number of the boys gathered around to
get an explanation as to where be got
the twins. Closer inspection revealed
the tact that the babies consisted of
large rubber dolls, which the professor
sells as well as pianos and organs.
Jacobsen is an original advertiser, to say
the least, but it cost him the cigars, just
the same. Fossil Journal.
We don't know anything about the
transaction, but we will wager a nickel
that Jacobsen only took to the dolls be
cause the Fossil girls were all spoken
for. Jacobsen is a great ladies man, and
in lieu of something better, would natur
allv take to the dolls. -

Can tlie City Afford to Go Itack warln,
and Do Without Them.
The report of the committee on the
matter of lighting the city will be made
to the council this evening. What it
will be of course cannot be told until to
morrow, but we hope tbat some plan
has been found by which the darkness
of the winter nights may be cbaeed
away, and that our citizens will be able
to get around after 5 o'clock in the even
ing without the aid of a lantern.
The old coal oil lamps might as well
be dropped from the problem, as they
were not even sufficient to serve as land
marks, giving no more light than a red
headed girl in a dark parlor with her
best fellow. The arc system is the only
satisfactory one, and we presume it will
be that or nothing.
The Dalles is in debt, it is true, and
must economize as far as possible, but
it strikes us that it cannot afford to be
without modern lights. The saving
should be along other lines. The lights
will cost $150 per month, about the sum
each theatrical troup takes out of our
city, a sum amounting to about 3 cents
per month for each person in the city,
a sum that would be raised by saving
the price of three cigars in two months
by each voter. The question resolves
itself not into, can we afford the lights,
but into "Can we afford to do without
them?"
What Miles Saw.
General Miles has just returned from
Europe, he having gone across the pond
to see the war between Turkey and
Greece. He says :
"I have Been all the great armies of
Europe, except the Spanish army, and
if Spain should declare war against the
United States I may possibly have an
opportunity of seeing that. Of some
thing over 3,000,000 men under arms, I
have seen nearly 400,000 in barracks and
in garrisons and in field maneuvres, be
sides nearly 100,000 men engaged in the
construction of war material.
"What I have seen does not indicate
that the millenium is at hand when
swords will be beaten into plowshares.
There was never a time in the history of
the world that such enerev. ineenuitv
and wealth has been devoted to war pur
poses. The resources and industries of
many people are largely devoted to
maintaining large standing armies and
formidable navies. Fortunate are the
people ot the United States that
they are walled up between two oceans,
yet thia. fact would not warrant them in
any other policy than keeping a reason
able percentage of the population fully
equipped and instructed in modern ap
pliances and methods of war."
