It is understood that the Elks will

We are informed that Dr. G. E. San

"If to be a man were to wear one of
those elegant night robes displayed in
Pease & Mayt' furnishing goods window,
I could almost wish to be a man." We
did not hear a lady say this, b.it we c n
well nnderstand bow she might after
seeing them. The next best thing is to
present your husband with tn. 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

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. "

A letter received by Mr. L. Heppner
from his brother, Hermann, inlormsj
him that James Biakeney is get-1

operation which was performed on his

the fact that the fracture Wing oblique

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. .

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
