Have you glanced in at Pease & Mays'
grocery window. If so you have seen
some very tempting pastry displayed
therein by the ladies oi the Congrega
tional Aid Society. They will be at the
same stand tomorrow. Call on them.
This morning it looked as if winter
had come again, the ground being covered
with frost and the thermometer only
25 above. But it was only a Bhort time
until the sun came out and summer
came again. This is indeed perfect
weather.
For the Christmas foot-ball game be

The party given last night by Smith
Bros, at their hall on Second street was
well attended and a very enjoyable af
fair. The fact that the music was fur
nished by Birgfeld Is proof o' its excel
lence. Theee gentleman are first-class
teachers of the art and have a good-Bized
class.
Appropriate unristmas exercises are

the purpose of completing the transfer,
This property, which is situated north
west of the Roberts' place is one of the
most beautiful sites near The Dalles,
and from which may be obtained one
tne grandest views ot Columbia rive
scenery.
"All trash goes before the broom,"
and so the Cheonicle local items were
crowded out today for more interesting
matter. We never claimed to be "stars"
in our profession, and therefore give
place to what appears to belong to that
class. We would advise our readers to
pernse that particular page, which they
will find more entertaining than at any
previous time in its history.
You can get all kind? of picture mold

The Mormon elders claim to have
healed a woman over at White Salmon,
who had kept to her bed for seven years.
They fasted and prayed and laid hands
on her and she got up and walked. The
other day one of their sisters here was
sick. She sent for the Mormon elders
land they prayed and laid hands on her
'but she did not get up. She said, "I
kfeel a little better." Glacier.
On account of passenger train No. 1
being several hours late this morning,
Captain Sherman failed to reach Stanley
Rock in time to bring the Inland" Flyer
up so that she could leave the dock here
at 7 o'clock. However, sne arrived
about 11 o'clock, and landed with no dif
ficulty, the river being almost clear .of
ice. She started for Portland at 12
o'clock, carrying quite a list of passen
gers. The Dalles City will arrive this

Arthur Stubling returned home on
the 5 :30 train last night, and there was
great rejoicing in the btuoimg tamuy,
his mother having decorated the parlors
in an artistic manner to assist in ex-
ressins the welcome In store for him,
Though thinner than wben lie lelt borne,
Arthur says be gained much on the re
turn trip and is feeling well. He is
more than delighted to be once more at
home and away from fever-stricken
KManila. In the window of Mr. Stubling's
saloon may be seen a collection of
souvenirs which Arthur brought (with

It has been a custom for years in the
grand lodge, K. of P., to vote to the re
tiring grand chancellor an elegant jewel.
No exception was made in the case of
Otis Patterson, and at the last session in
October it was decided that bre be given
the usual complimentary recognition.
Yesterday morning Mr. Patterson re
ceived from M. C. Lily & Co., of Cincin
nati, a handsome silver and gold jewel,
on the pin of which was engraven, "Otis
Patlereon, P. G. C." On the back of
the pendant is inscribed "Presented by
Grand Lodge of Oregon, ISth Conven
tion, October 13, 1898."
Tis sweet to be remembered," but
a sweet remembrance is even better. So
thought the young ladies of The Chron
icle force this morning, when a gener
ous box of their choice candies was
placed on our table by a messenger from
Pease & Mays' grocery department.
They contained none of Hobson's kisses,
advertised some time since, for those
have grown too common in Eaetern
cities, and Peaee & Mays are np-to-date.
However, if anyone doubt the sweetness
of the mixture, they are referred to tho
compositors, who. are not only good
judges of pi, but candies as well.
The land office reports a great rush of
business, having shipped about $9,000
so far this month. As January 1st
marks the cIobo of the time in which
cash purchases can be made under the
act of September 29, 1890, (R. B. for
feiture act) the receipts from this source
alone will doubtless foot up as much as
$1,000 a day from now until the close of
the year. The number of homestead
entries and proofs of all kinds kept pace
with the. remarkable record of the earlier
months of the year. The. land office is
tar above "maximum" and it is need
less to say the officials are glad of it.
When mentioning the Christmas ex
ercises which are to be held in our city
this year we were not prepared to re
port definitely concerning the most im
portant tree of all that to be given by
the Salvation-Army for the needy ones
in our midst. This is a grand and com
mendable custom which the army ob
serves every year in looking after those
of whom He,1 whosebirthday we cele
brate, said, we "have always with us."
The city has been laid out in districts,
which have been thoroughly canvassed
by committees, so that none may be
overlooked or fail to receive some gift at
this bappy time. Their hall is being
appropriately decorated and on Saturday
evening everybody is invited to be
present and enjoy the Christmas
pleasure.
Late news from Manila tells of the
death of Lewis A. Miller, of Com nan v
Pgecond Oreeon volunteers. Both of
kP,A ,nn, mAn ; v,nt
some way no news of their deaths
me bere until yesterday. Lewis A.
iller was a native of Yamhill county,
nd was 24 years old. He died of
yphoid fever, and had only been sick a
tew days. John Fenton enlisted from
Oakland, Or., and was 22 years old. His
death came from the bursting of a blood
vessel. ibis morning a boy called at
Red Cross headquarters and asked if
they bad beard anything of John Fenton
who ha Bald was his brother. He ex
plained that his parents had not heard
from" his brother for some time, and
said when they last heard he bad been
sick, but was improving. The last letter
they had was. dated November 10th.
Young Fenton died either November 10
or 11. Telegram.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
William O'Neal Badly Hurt While
Working on a Ki8h Wheel.
We are again compelled to chronicle a
bad accident which happened early this
morning about five miles up the river,
on the Washington side.
William O'Neal, who is employed by
The Dalles Packing Company, was en
gaged in repairing the netting of a fish
wheel when he fell a distance of about
twenty-two teet on to the rocks below.
His head was bruised badly and bis
back seriously hurt, the latter causing
paralysis of the lower limbs.
Dr. Logan went immediately to the
scene of the accident and gave all the as
sistance possible to the unfortunate
man, who was found to be in a very bad
condition. This afternoon a number of
his friends carried him to this city on a
stretcher, when he was taken to Mrs.
Bonzey's residence. '
O'Neal is a single man of about 26
years, and nas worKed aoout trie city
(for "some time, being an industrious
ellow.
CANYON CITY STILL ALIVE.
Bert Phelps and Mr. Long Visit the Clry
and Report Business Going; Abead.
Attorney Phelps and Mr. Wm. Long
returned from Canyon City last Friday
evening where they went to arrange the
settlement of the estate of John Long as
mentioned in last issue. Mr. Phelps
was appointed administrator for the es
tate, a considerable portion of which is
located in Grant county, while valuable
property is located in San Francisco and
other parts of California. Unfortunate
ly the papers of the deceased were con
sumed in the Canyon City fire necessitat
ing considerable trouble on the part ot
Mr. Phelps to locate. He will leave
about the first of the year for California
to locate and look of property there.
Both Mr. Phelps and Mr. Long
were quite enthusiastic in declaring
that Canyon City had the most hos
pitable and cheerful class of people it
has been their fortune to meet. Re
building of the city is going steadily
ahead, and the people seem to be well
provided for and grateful for the con
sideration of the outside world. The
frozen condition of the roads made their
ride a thrilling one, as the mountain
grades were covered with ice, and the
horses urged to the top of their speed to
keep clear of the coach at times. The
trip was made in twenty-seven hours,
and they spoke highly oi Mr. Miller's
efficient stage service. HeppnerGazett?.
A Cow For Sale.
The late Bill Nye once advertised a
cow for sale as follows : "Owing to ill
health, I will sell at my residence in
township 19, range 18, according to gov
ernment survey, one plush raspberry
colored cow, aged 8 years. She is a good
milker, and is not afraid of the cars or
anything else. She is of undaunted
courage and gives milk frequently. To
the man who does not fear death in any
form she would be a great boon. She is
yery much attached to her house at
present by means of a stay chain, but
she will be sold to anyone who will agree
to treat her right. She is one-fourth
short horn and three. fourths hyena.
I will also throw in a double-barreled
shotgun which goes with her. In May
she generally goes away for a week or
two, and returns with a red calf with
wabbly legs. Her name is Terror. I
would rather eell her to a non-resident.
Santa Clans.
Santa Claus wilLbe around
Through the streets and through the town.
On each housetop he will creep,
When little ones are fast asleep.
And each stocking he will fill
With candy, nuts, and little frills.
. Then with a happy sigh.
He will gently say, Good-bye.
Then all the children awake
Just at the break of day.
When Santa Claus is far away,
Then Jja thinks what he has done,
Through out the happy night.
God bless every child today.

Wheat Conditions.

Portland
Commercial Review
The situation apparently shows no
signs of improvement. The foreign
cargo demand is either entirely checked
or so small that the market has a neg
lected appearance; aa a result, the situ
ation favors the buying class, who, hav
ing the advantage, are inclined to make
the most of it; wben sales are pressed,
sellers are compelled to make conces
sions. In view of the depression abroad
it is natural the effects should, be seri
ously felt here, in almost stagnant trad
ing and abnormally low prices. Large
holders are struggling bravely against
the downward movement, by withhold
ing supplies, but the absence of offers
bere is not seriously felt, as the export
ing houses have plenty of grain on hand
to meet the call of chartered tonnage,
and will not make new freight engage
ments nntil they eee the wheat in sight.
Some weak or discouraged holders are
met with from time to time, who are
sellers at the market price, but in a gen
eral way the market may be called life
less. For Walla Walla club wheat,
prices are down to 5859, the latter
probably an extreme figure. So little is
doing in the Valley that it ia difficult to
name a quotation ; 61 cents is quoted as
a nominal selling price; bluestem, 62c
per bushel. Reports are yery much re
duced from east of the mountains, and
comparatively little coming from the
Valley. Exports during the week are
one steamer to St. Vincent, two cargoes
of choice wheat to Africa, and four
cargoes to the U. K., the whole amount
ing to 473,353 centals.
