A Portland paper says the ire is fast
breaking up in the Columbia at The
Dalles. No doubt it is, but the break Is
not yet visible. From appearances it is
about as strong as ever, and people are
today crossing on the - ice, although it
seems a little risky.
List night might have been termed
two-step night at Smith's dancing club,
as that seemed to be the favorite dance.
An unusually large crowd attended, and
a sociable, good time was enjoyed. Next
Saturday evening the customary soiree
will be held at the Baldwin opera house.
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph McKee, of Long
Beach, while in Portland Wednesday,
received the sad intelligence of the death
of their 18-year-old son, Ernest McKee.
ErneBt was out skating on the lake back
of Ilwaco, when the ice gave way and he
drowned before assistance could reach
him.
A large number were present at a
meeting of Columbia Hose Co., No. 2,

was spent. '. Three new members were

At a meeting of the board of directors
of the Commercial Club last night, be
side the regular routine business a num
ber of important questions regarding the
inteiest of the club were discussed, but
no definite lice of action was determined
npon, and they will be brought up at a
meeting to be called soon. Three new
members were admitted last night. Dur
ing the evening an application was pre
sented from the ladies requesting that
they be admitted to the bowling al
leys Wednesday nights, as they de
sired time for extra practice. The re
quest was at once granted, and for a
month they will be allowed to use the
alleys on that night in conjunction with
the members. . The Commercial Club
ha" been particularly generous to its lady
friends, who greatly appreciate .their
kindness.
Every winter brings with it the needy,
and renewed obligations for those who
are blessed with health and plenty.
This year is not an exception, and t the
various benevolent societies of our city
have found many families who are in
need of assistance. Last Sunday two
of the four boys spoken of last week,
were taken to the Bovs' and Girls' Aid
Society by Mr. Gardiner; one is now
being cared for by Mrs. Smith, at the
Farmers' Hotel, and the other was sent
to the poor farm with his mother. The
Mercy and Help .department of the
Epworth League are now engaged in as
sisting a widow lady, Mrs. Wbirley,
who is very ill and has three children to
care tor, the youngest being 11 months
old- . Yesterday Sam Thurman became
interested and soliciting help for them,
a number of neceseary articles were
provided. This is a noble work which
all can assist in, and each individual
should do all in their power to alleviate
tbe sufferings of others.

FRANK ABERNETHY DEAD.
After An
Illness of Several
Dies In Portland.
Tear Be
Having been aware of the fact that
Portland announcing his death at . St.
Vincent Hospital at 5 o'clock last even-
jin.
Few residents were better known than
Frank, who has lived in The Dalles, with
the exception of a few years, for about
twenty years, and , before his health
failed, occupied positions . of prominence
and trust, being one of the biightest
young men that ever came to this city.
and the most popular in business as well
as social circles.
He was born in the state of Maine,
and came to this coast with his parents
when but a boy, settling on a farm at
Oak Point, on the . lower Columbia.
Most of his education . was obtained at
Willamette University in Salem. Finish-
iog school there, he spent a ehoft tim e
assisting his father about the borne, but
finally went to Tacoma. . Coming to this
piace irom mere in '78 or '7a, he ac-1
cepted a position as ticket agent for the
O. S. N. Co. when Ji S. Schenck was ;
agent for that company ; afterward act
ing as commissary under H. M. Beall.
When C. N. Thornbury became receiver
of the land office, be took a position as
clerk, and at the close of bis term, was
appointed swamp land agent, afterward
being employed as book keeper in Kin
ersly'a drug store. Later he left this
city for Roesland, where he was cashier
in Snipes' bank, and in the bank hold-up
in '93 received a blow from w hich it is
thought he never fully recovered. When
the bank failed in 1894 he returned to
The Dalle9,' where he has .since re
mained. ". .
' About that time his health began to
fail, and he was unfit for any labor or
duties which -required mental strain.
While his friends did all in their power
for him, his seemed a hopeless case, and
just a week ago yesterday be was taken
to the hospital in Portland ; but effort
in his behalf were futile, and he will b
brought to this city this afternoon a
corpse, his death being caused by cirossis
of the liver.'
As near as can be ascertained Frank
A. Abernethy was 44 years of age, and
his parents having died some years ago,
his remaining relatives are a sister, Mrs.
Margaret Brewer, of Oakland, Calif. ; a
half-sister, Mrs. Berry, of Astoria; two
brothers, George Abernethy, of Knappe,
Or., and Alexander Abernethy, of
Seattle, and an uncle,- W. H. Harris, of
Portland, lie was also . a nephew o"

mains. Definite arrangements have
not as yet been made ' for the funeral,
which will probably take place Sunday
afternoon:
. China New Tear.
The China New Year celebration ' is
now in full blast, in more than onesense
of the word, although but one fight is
recorded. . The celebration in generally
continued for ten days. The first day ia
never made the occasion of any great
demonstration, such as the continned
firing of crackers, but this feature will
be observed in a day or . two in proper
style. Chinese custom makes it neces
sary for a person to settle all his debts
on or before the first day of- the new
year, and he who fails to do so is con
sidered disgraced. All individual antip
athy ceases and deadly enemies bury
the hatchet and drink from the same
bowl. In some ways the Chinese-super.
stitions are very much the same as those
of the Americans. - The Chinese, for in
stance, will do anything in' their power
to arrange matters so that they will re
ceive a certain amount of money on New
Year's day, which signifies exceedingly
good fortune in the coming year. The
English-speaking people are supersti
tious in this respect. An odd Chinese
custom is for grown boys and men to
give money to small boys, wishing them
at the same time, a prosperous career,
while the small boy no sooner receives
the money than he sneaks to a back alley
and spends an hour or two in making
the Celestial's life miserable by . throw
ing rocks at him or his dwelling.
These people should be allowed to en-
jov their holidays in peaceful celebration,
so long as they interfere with the rights
of no one, and hoodlums who molest
them should be punished in a manner
they will not soon forget.

Should Raise More Bay.
"If the stock raisers and farmers of
Eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho
would raiee more hay they would get
along better," said J. C. Davis, t
Idaho, who has been in Portland for a
few daye. "The stockmen of onr coun
try appear to think that each winter is
to be a mild one, and few of them make
any preparation for feeding for any
length of time. When a cold, snowy
winter like this one has been comes
along, feed becomes scarce, bay goes to
$30 and $40 a ton and hundreds of cattle
perish. All of this could be avoided by
each man raising enough feed for his
own nee. Should the winter be mild
ke could always sell his hay for what it
cost him. It stems they prefer t take
the1 chance, and this year is teaching
them a lesson.' Many head of cittle
have already suffered, and hundreds will
perish before spring if the soow remains
on the ground, frozen as it is."
