A few loads pf wheat come in daily
and since the roads have frozen up tbe
amount seems to increase. A large
percentage of wheat remains unhauled
which the farmers will be forced to hold
over winter, in many cases not because
they wished to speculate by holding for
higher prices, but because their facili
ties for . hauling it to market were not
sufficient to get it here before tbe roads
became almost impassable on account of
the unusually heavy rains. ,

Late reports from Oregon City state
that tbe woman who was killed at that
place by a train Sunday evening was
Mrs. Samuel Roake. She was on her
way to church, and as the train was in
plain view for quite a distance before it
struck her, it is a mystery how she got
in its way. She. was 37 vears old, and
leaves a husband and four children
At present Second street is in as fine
condition as any one could desire. Much
of the mud had been removed before the
cold spell, and now it is smooth and
frozen bard as a horn. This morning some
bicpele riders who wished a little exer
cise, got out their wheels and enjoyed a
pleasant ride. Good bicycle riding is
more than most towns can boast of dur
ing the holidays.
Mayee & Crowe have a -new. thing in
the way of bowling alleys. It is called
tbe reversible parlor bowling alley and
is just the thing ior the little folks who
cannot go to tbe bowling alley proper,
as well as for the ladies who can bowl at
home while their better-half is at the
enjoying himself in the same diverion.
As a proof of the hit that, these parlor
alleys have made, we might add. that
during a few weeks 2600 have been sold
from the factory, which is in Portland,
and at present the supply is not equal
to the demand,
these scenes singing, dancing, and In
fact everything that a fun-loving Darkey
can do, is done to amuse the audience.
The company producing this interesting
play is composed of some fifty odd peo
ple, including a Pickaninny band of
seventeen little Darkies, who appear in
several scenes of the play, and also head
the parage of the company.
Salton's View of the Expedition.
Jack Dal ton, the weel-known Alaska
i prospector who is at present in Seattle,
''in speaking of of the proposed Alaskan
relief expedition, eaid : "The proposal
I to use reindeer teams does not strike me
as being the right thing. Horses can be
used to much better advantage. Instead
of using reindeer, the government ought
to get together a number of hardy
horses, and suffiicient food ' should be
taken along to feed them. They can. do
much better work than reindeer. I
would use sleds for carrying the food for
tbe men and provender tor the horses.
To handle the reindeer expedition suc
cessfully it would be necessary to have
relay stations established a day's jour
nep apart, with food for the animals at
these stations." This would be a rare
opportunity . to get. rid of some of the
worthless Eastern Oregon cay a see, as
hardier horses than these could hardly
be found , and they could be purchased
much cheaper and would be of more
value on such an expedition than rein
deer from Norway. Dalton, speaking
f the best route by which to take re
ef, said that he would go over the Chil-
oot pass and then down the lakes and
he Yukon river over the ice.
"Hazel Kirke."
Patrons of the Vogt opera, bouse will
have a treat in store in the shape of
Wh alien & Martell's mammoth pril ac
tion, "South Before the War," which
will appear Friday, Dec. 24th, for one
night only. . This play will take the
older . inabitants over, the road of the
buried past to the time when the darkies
doings on the plantation were - proverb
ial. The piece is made up of four parts,
a plantation as it appeared in the midst
ot a cotton picking scene ; a landing on
the Mississippi, at "which the famous
old river craft, Robert E. Lee, arrives,
loaded with the staple on its way to the
Crescent City. The next scene depicts
a camp meeting, held on Frog Island ;
also an old-time cake walk. In all of
At the Vogt opera house on Saturday
'(Christmas) night, the Excelsior Dram
atic Company will produce the beautiful
drama "Hazel Kirke." This plav is the
most perfect piece of play writing of the
moaern drama, ihe characters are so
widely different from one another, yet
so perfect in their characterization that
the grave and the gay run. most harmo
nionsly side by side. . Mr. Duggati'a
rendition of the character "Dunslan
Kirke" is pronounced a masterpiece of
acting, while Miss Morey, who interprets
the title role to "Hazel Kirke," has re
ceived the greatest praise through the
boutb. Miss Bengee Harrison is with
this company, playing the Bsubrette
character. She has established a creat
reputation wherever she has performed
for her wonderful mirthfulness. The
whole company is composed of finished
performers, an i it is the intention of
this company to periodically play The
Dalles on the circuit they are establish
iog through the North west, so this in
itself assures us that a treat is in Btore
for us on Christmas night.
