This afternoon a freight train passed through this city, a part of which brought winter with it, being covered in snow a foot and a halt deep. The cars had no doubt been used in section work in the Blue mountains. The trainmen derived a great deal of amusement from snowballing passers-by as they went through.

It was rumored yesterday that E. Beck, formerly a jeweler in thiscity.was one ot the losers m the recent San Francisco fire ; bis store being one of those on the ground floor of the build ing. However, as his same is not Re ported in connection with the natns given in the dispatches, it is thought by his friends to be a mistake as to his be ing included among those who were burned out. Workmen on Mays & Crowe's new building have made their heads fairly swim in the attempt to get the Btroctare enclosed before the winter storms came on. Todav will see it completed, roof and all, and Monday work will be be gun on the interior. So rapidly has the building gone up that it seems but a few days since work on the foundations was began. Would we bad a number more ot the same kind in the course of con struciion. If the children of the public schools in our eity grow up to' be selfish mea and women it will not be because the prin ciplea or generosity have not been in stilled into their minds. Last week, hearing that Superintendent Gardner, of the Boys and Girls Aid Society, bad appealed for help, the teachers of some of the primary rooms made it a point to mention the fact to their pupils, many of whose parents readily responded, and quite a sum was ttiiw raised and sent to tne institution at Portland, it was a commendable move, and will certainly tell in the character of the men and women of the future. The patriotic entertainment at the Christian church last evening was very creditable affair, and the treasury of the Christian Endeavor Society is en hanced to the extent of about $15 there by. The program' was entertaining throughout, there being several original and unique tableaux iutroduced, while the patriotic selections otherwise were highly acceptable to the audience. As a slight diversion, six of the yonng peo pie had prepared a humorous dialogue entitled "Peleg and Patience,"-which was exceedingly well rendered. At the conclusion of the program, refreshments were served in the basement of the church, and a social hour was spent to good advantage by all present. How people who are reasonable in every other respect, dare allow them selves to be slack in what is really the mo6t important of all physical matters, the welfare of the eyes, which are the windows of the soul. Is beyond the com The Dalles, Or, 2 prehension of thoughtful people. More foolish than neglecting their care is the habit of patronizing eyery person who comes alone and hangs out a shingle purporting to be an oculist who can not only give you "fits for your eyes," but make the "blind to see." How dare you truBt your eyesight to any one whom you know nothing about? And yet dozens of people rush headlong after every stranger who enters the city claim ing to be an eye doctor, seeming truly to be more blind in this respect than any other. Is it not much better to rely on those who remain with us and whose reputation depends on the work turnedjait? more enjoyable, and at the Barney time instructive, amueement cai be bad than that furnished by the various guessing games now so much in vogue in society circles. One of the most novel was that which engaged 4hre attention of a number of young lalies who were entertained by Mrs. WH. Wilson last evening in honor . Miss Wilson, of Springfield, Ohio, Who is a guest at her home-It was termed a'Flowery Lov Tale," and each question asked was answered by the name of some familiar flower, each as, "To whom did the young lady refer her loverT" "To Poppy." "Who .performed the ceremony?" "Jack in the Pulpit." Miss Louise Ruch proved herself well versed in flow er lore and was presented with a beauti ful painted picture frame, while Miss Laura Thompson, less fortunate in guessing, was equally fortunate when the prizes were given. A number of musical "elections were rendered during the evening and the refreshments were extremely tempting. Before parting Mrs. Wilson took a number of flash light pictures of the young ladies, which will be treasured by? Miss Wilson and her guests as reminders of a very pleas ant evening.

WHERE SHALL AID BE GIVEN? Do We Help Those Wno Have Mo Care to Help Themselves? The question of UBt how much as sistance should be given men who travel the country over and infest our cities claiming that it is impossible to secure employment and asking help of those who are more fortunately situated, is a greatly controverted one, especially be tween kind-hearted house-wives and their husbands, the latter claiming that the least encouragement given them is best for them and the country in which they live. The Dalles has of late months been remarkably free from such visitors, but in former years as many as eleven of these self-invited guests have been fed in one day by women, who in the fear of turning away the wheat with the tares, , have granted every request made. The Oregonian yesterday in discussing the matter, took sidea against the 5-cent restaurants, eoup kitchens, 1-cent dishes ana lunch counters, -claiming that so long as men can live around town for nothing, or next to mothinz, . they will do so, while contractors fairly beg for workmen. There is plenty of work at railroad building, grubbing, quarrying, etc., but scarcely a man can be found who is willing to give up '"city life" and wield the pick and -shovel in the sec tions where such work is to be had. How often have parallel cases been encountered in our own city, when day after day are we requested for "hand outs" and at the sarnie time farmers in the interior are advertising far and near for harvest hands. Not only does this question apply to the men, but time alter time when our charitable institutions have been ap pealed to for help for destitute families and responded liberally, have those who go as messengers of tuercy found grown up daughters etandiug reaay to accept the aid given, never inquiring aa to the number of calls made tor household help. Frequently it is discovered that the very clothes given have been donated by some woman or girl who has stood for ten-bours a day in stores or offices, work ing far harder for her daily bread than would these strong girls be required to do in some family, where, when her work is -done she will find hours which are her's to rest or spend aa she may like. Not that we wonld advocate the idea of lessening th work of charity or ceas ing to give aid t those who are destitute. One of the circumstances which made Thursday the best Thanksgiving day spent in many years in Oregon was the fact that everywhere was this grand work made to predominate over every eel fish thought. But for fear of en couraging indolence, is not the idea of the Portland employer a good one, when he advocates looking into the worthiness of subjects for ; charity and inquiring whether or not they might procure em ployment, before promiscuously giving aid.

Onlv so long ago aa Thanksgiving day were the parents of Charles McKinnon caused to mourn the death of ttieir loved one, who passed away at Manila a day or two before, no cause being given for bjs death, but from letters received a short time before friends are led to believe starvation was the real cause.
