They range in price from 39 cents to $1.87 and are really elegant. Press Agent Gates, of Hi Henry's Minstrels, gave us a very pleasant call today. Mr. Gates sec mi to be already a great favorite with Dalles people, his genial disposition winning him many friends during the day spent here. This afternoon a number of gentlemen ac companied him to their special cars, which they report not only neat in the extreme, but replete in every detail. Mesers. S. L. Brooks, G. A. Liebe and G. W. Miller, who returned from Hood Biver last evening, report things lively in that vicinity, the residents being greatly encouraged over tbe prospects of the new mill to be built there. Tbe site chosen is just above the mouth of Hood River and above the high water mark, tbe mam building to be 200x40 feet, with office, drybonses, etc. Its capnei'y will b 150.009 feet a day and its coit, 100,000. The secretary of the department of sri perintenilance, a department of the state teachers' association, lias called a meet inn of the oeparluieat for Dec. 28th and 29 h. at Portland, for the purpose of dis cussing thoroughly the vaiions phases of needed school legislation with a view to making recommendations to the legisla ture that is to meet in January next. It ia expected that all persons who can possibly attend will be present on this occasion. The complete program will appear in tomorrow's Oregonian. Speaking of unlimited tickets, the D. P. A A.N. Co. certainly has a record in thia l'ne. A few davs ago a gentleman who was making the trip up the river presented a r.iun 1 trip ticket wLich had been Issued September 23, 1S91, seven years ago. He claims it was tbe first round ti ip tit ket issued by the line, al thought nothing certain regarding this fact can be determined, as the tickets hen were not numbered, but it is thought likely, 'as the first through trip was made on that date. However, it was honored and the man found out ia thi8ctse his ticket was unlimited. A Olvmpia dispatch says: "Articles of incorporation ot the Columbia & Klicktiat Bailroad Company, rendered by the Btate of Oregon, were filed in the secretary of state's office by E. E. Ly tie, D. C. O'Reilly and A. E. Hammond. The line will extend from a point on the Columbia river ' at Lyle, Klickitat county, by tbe most feasible route to the town of Goldendale, a distance of about 30 miles. The principal offices of . the company will be located at Wasco, Sher man county, Oregon. Tbe capital stock is $300,000, issued in ehares of $100." A week from tomorrow will be Christ mas day, and still the question is unset tled as to whether Monday will be ob served as a holiday. It should be de cided at once by a petition being circu lated to that effect, which would surely be signed by every business bouse in the city. Tbe schools will close next Fri day, when appropriate exercises will be held in the different rooms, and opened on Tuesday, January 3d. This will give those pupils from the country who de sire to spend the holidays at home, suf ficient time in which to return.

Heppner from his brother, Hermann, inlormsj him that James Biakeney is get-1 ting along nicely after the eeriousj operation which was performed on his leg Thursday. 7 be difficulty arose from the fact that the fracture Wing oblique allowed some muscular tissue to get be i' tween-the broken fragments, preventing tbe bone from knitting as it should.

DOLLS The ladies who bad the fair in charge scarcely know where to begin to express their gratitude. Tbey'detsire to thank all who in any way assisted or contrib uted toward making tbe program or any part of the fair a success. Particularly do tbey thank the accompanists, Miss Schmidt and Mr. Baldwin. For the best results use Camera, For sale by the Pharmacy. tbe Vive Postoffice tf talent w as proven last night, when, alter attending the fair on the two previous evenings, being attract d by the tinging of Mies Bloch, the house was tqually as well filled to listen to an entertainment given by our local taient. Messrs. Benton and Long, accompanied by A. W. Baldwin, at the piano, opened the evening wit 'a a cornet aud clarionet duet. Dalles people have reason to be proud of bavingsuch thorough musicians as these in their midst, for they are capable of filling positions in any com pany, where large salaries might' be drawn. Instead, we are privileged to listtn to their selections frequently, for their services are always williugly given. The Scotch duet by George Weigel and Hilda Beck wa,s particularly pleasing, for, added to the sweetness of their voices and their admirable manner of acting, was tte pretty Scotch costumes, so becoming to them. Again the audience was delighted with the lantern swinging, the anangeraen.t of which makes a very pretty effect, and was well done. . Will Crossen then appeared in a Negro sketch. This is the first time Will has given a turn of this description "alone, and the audience waa more than pleased with his graceful movements, which were striking throughout tbe ridiculous situations 'which tbe character required,. ncre iiiiuicupf; d, and theifr ss.

Their costumes were iminenep in every sense of the won: j ikes and singing first-class we all know what to expect Johnnie. I Both of the character sketches were aided greatly by having as an accompan ist each a fine musician aa Bert Baldwin. In the votinz contest for the most popular young lady Miss Effie Bolton was successful in securing the parlor lamp; while the chair for the moBt ! popular man was won by C. L. Phillips It ha3 not been fully determined what the receipts are, but it is thought about $420, from which the expenses innst yet be deducted. The ladies have labored hard, but feel satisfied at the results !ARD1NG MANILA. Max Bur tell Telia it Few Thln- About the Clljr Baseball Team Organized. j A letter received from Max Bartell, at Manila, though written during the lat ter part of October, was received hot a day or two ago.

Books, in Endless Variety. Cloth bound, 12 mo., 200 titles, J2Je eacb. Chatterbox, latest edi tion, only 69c. AH goods marked in plain figures. Jacobsen Book & Music Co. 170 Second Street, The Dalles, Oregon. gives a very good idea of the streets r.d ' buildings of Manil., as follows: "Everything is quiet withMhe excep tion of a little fekirmishint: every nt w and then with the insurgents. "Aitineeaitntd are many and tl e town, is livening up an. I rapidly taking t.n American bustle. Many Americni ure already in business and if Americ i de cides to keep the it-lands it will only be a short time until Manila w ill be a live ly town. One thing, however, wilt re qoire a complete revolution, and that is the street car system. Manila cm pup port a large railway pyMeni and thia would be tbe first place for American capital. "f he streets are narrow, about thirty feet wide, very irregular and are paved mostly w ith crushed rok. The Edcolta, the inaiu street m the new town, is an exception, it is abont forty feet wide and paved with granite cobble Btones. Ifc ib on this Btreet mo-t of the business of JIanila is conduced. The sidewalks are all, without exception, made of atone, generally granite slabs about hree feet long and one foot wide. They are on the average about three feet and a half wide and in some places are bo narrow that one j erson can scarcely walk on them. "The buildings are almost all two story and with few exceptions arealike. The lower story ia of stone or brick and is rarely used for dwelling purposes. The upper story is of wood and ' projects, several feet beyond the lower wall. It ia this part of the building that is in variably used for dwelling purposes. In. the center of the building ia a large conrt, usually about one hundred feet square. In this court is a fountain, a tew ill kept flower beds and several palm trees. It ia strange that such f n opportunities for making a fine flower garden should be overlooked. Instead of a fine lawn and flower yard, you fiml only a dirty, nasty quadrargle, not fit for a dog to Bleep in. One nice thing that haa ttanspired is the organization of tbe American sol diers' baseball league. Each regiment furnishes on', team and tbe winners of a series of games is to be presented with a silver cup. The Oregon nine, of which I am a member, plaved a game last Monday, the snore was 18 to 12, in favor of the Oregonians. We are to play the South Dakota's Saturdav. and we hope, to meet with like success." Hen Wanted To cut cord wood. Inquire of The Dallas Lumbering Co, lZ-Lm. V 1
