Mr. Brooka iniorma us that the river
is rising rapidly this afternoon and that
the ice is beginning to move. It will
take but a short time to clear the river
after it begins to go.
Don't forget that Garretson, the re
liable jeweler, has a desirable line of
fine jewelry suitable for Xmas presents,
at 25 per cent cut below regular prices.
Call and see them for yourself.
The laying of the water mains on
Fourth street will probably be completed
today. Those who are already receiving
the benefit of the new mains are loud in
their praises of the extra amount of
pressue.
The following officers for the ensuing

Remember that on Friday and Satur
day of this week you will be spared the
trouble of cooking your pastry, for you
may secure everything in that line by
calling at Pease & May's grocery depart
ment, where the ladies of the Congrega
tional church will have on sale bread,
p:es, cakes, etc.
It is to be hoped that onr people have
not allowed the numerous attractions
which have visited our city to entirely
shut out the fact that the greatest event
of the season is to take place Friday
evening at the Vogt, when Jackson En
gine C-. give their grand ball. Make
preparations to attend.
We have had a surfeit of traveling
shows for some time past, but at present
none are billed to appear earlier than
February, when McEwen, the hypnotist,
who caused such a sensation on his pre
vious visit to the city, will again be with
us. He is now in Victoria, B. C, where
he is attracting large audiences.
Low prices are not the only attraction
offered by Pease and Mays, the interior
decorations of the store being well
worth a visit. The different depart
ments are tastefully arranged with holi
day goods. The grocery department is
particularly pleasing in its holiday dress
of fir boughs-, mistletoe and holly.
Apparently the Oregon Telephone &
Telegraph Co. has awakened to the
importance of The Dalles as a telephone
center. This is evidenced in their recent
improvements and new construction.
The opening of an all-night service, the
replacing of Blake transmitters by solid
back, long-distance transmitters, reduc
tion in rentals and the new Dufur line
all point to the one thing.
Cut this out and bring it to the Jacob
sen Book and Music Co. as a special in
ducement which we offer for this week
only, to purchasers of mandolins, banjos,
or guitars. To those purchasing instru
ments as per this special offer, we will
give a term of one month's lessons, free
of charge. Prof. Ryan, the well-known
teacher of mandolin, guitar and banjo,
- has been engaged by us to give the les
sons, which constitute this special offer.
Messrs. Holbrook, Steel and Smith,
commissioners from Multnomah county.
arrived in the city last night for the
purpose of inspecting the new steel
furniture in the vault at the clerk's
office. They are considering the ad
visability of placing the same kind in
the Portland office. It is certainly
worth every cent it cost the county, and
anyone having valuable records there
can rest assurd that they are safe.
Last evening one of tha telephone
wires on Second street, just above No
lan's store, fell on the electric light wire
and burned in two, making a very pret
ty eitiht, as the colors of the rainbow
could be seen flashing from the wire.
The wire then fell to the ground. Had
any one happened to touch this fiery in
strument at that time, he would have
been electrified with a vengeance, and
someone else would have been compelled
to tell the story. Fortunately no one
came in contact with it.

a few mem hers of the company were en

one's "pins," so slippery were the
Vwalks. rtl-tt cftrswe-n, starting ont

he was not "so many" aa he hit the

he came home early Sunday morning.
At last, the raTns", so long predicted

It takes a good amount of nerve to risk
one's life on the ice which covers the
Columbia now. Indeed, many would not
attempt it when the ice is at its strong

quite a business on a very small capital,
has been about town tor several davs.
During bis short stay about town he has
traded a band of horses supposed to be
somewhere east of the mountains for a
farm, bought a pretty good bouse, rented
two or three others, posed as a Grand

Manv of our stores are making ex

most elaborate is that of A. M. Williams

battleship Oregon, constructed of towels,
napkins and table-linenx replete in

the arch of peace, decorated in ever
greens and bunting and upon which are
pictures representing ' the different
battles of the late war and the heroes of
the same, and in the very center a fine
likeness of President McKinley. The
taste ehown in displaving the goods is
also worthy of mention ; while the two
large show windows, arranged by the
male clerks, would reflect credit on pro

A GOOD SHOW.
HI Henry's Minstrels High Toned, Hlgh
fallutln (?) and Hilarious.
The seating capacity of the Vogt was
pretty well tested Saturday night and
many "watched their chance" and stood
up. Hi Henry's Minstrels received a
flattering reception on their appearance
here, such a reception as is seldom given
to any troupe visiting the city, and it
was well deserved, the only disappoint
ment to the audience being the shortness
of the program, the curtain dropping up
on the last number before any realized
that the performance was half ovei. No
doubt the excellence of the entertain
ment accounted for its apparent short
ness, as the program was two hours long.
If there's one thing above another a
Dalles audience is noted for it is our ap
preciation of a good thing and our ac
ceptance of the philosophy that if a little
is good a great deal must be better.
And so from the minute the curtain rose
every one was on the alert to catch
everything that might be said and to b
sure and let no part of the performance
be missed.
'Twould be impossible to mention
every feature separately. Indeed, so
much attention has been given to the
details of the show that the general ef
fect is fautless. Every word, movement
and gtsture nts in just where it belongs,
making the entire performance har
monious throughout. The einging ia es
pecially good and ni ne of the voices
seem to have become harsh by constant
use. Their selections were also first
class and nust ot them entirely new.
The contpriunists were truly wonder
ful, and by far the finest ever seen here.
It is plain to be seen that to be a
member of this company one must be
an all-around artist in his profession,
and no others need apply. Hi Henry is
himself pret.tv Hi toned, as is also bis
cornet, from the sweetness of which not
even bis wealth of diamonds detracts.
His solos, as well a9 the selections by
the five cornetiets were greatly appre
ciated. In short, Hi Henry's show ia all that
it is "cracked up to be," as those who
attended will assert; and those who
tailed to attend are the losers therebv. '
