On Wednesday afternoon and evening
Mrs. M. Feriano will display a beautiful
line of spring and summer hate. She
invites all the ladies to be present at the
opening on that date, and judge for
themselves as to .their style.
Two ladies under the guise of sisters of
- mercy are doing the town and sorround-
- ing country, endeavoring to obtain
pecuniary assistance. Rev. Bronsgeest
wishes it to be understood by the people
that on religious grounds these ladies
can lay no claim to the generosity of
the people.
Mrs. Phillips extends an invitation to
all Dalles ladies to be present at ber
opening of millinery next Tuesday after
noon and evening. She has in ber stock
some of the most beautiful trimmed bats
ever shown in the city, and an endless
line of street hats.
Yesterday Frank Hamilton came to
the conclusion that a genuine drunk
cost more than was dreamed of in bis
philosophy. After being arrested by
Marshal Laner in tbe morning, Re
corder Gates fined him $5 in the after-
This morning the one-legged tramp
who burned his wooden leg Friday and
then attempted to drown himself in tbe
Cjlnmbia, was discharged from the cus
tody of the county officials and shipped
to Portland.' He seemed tol)e in better
spirits when be left, and it ie thought
that loss of food end rest caused him to
grow melancholy and attempt to take
nis ine. previous to tne time ne was
taken to jail he had been trying to sub'
sisl on wheat which, be had gathered np
and carried :n his pocket Now he
seems to think life worth living.
Most of those who have had occasion
to zander forth into the gentle zephyrs
today would have been ready to sur
render their part of them to anyone who
would name them1 and take, them
While some may be ready to term this
a gala day, Webster tells ns that the
21st of March iB tbe time of the- vernal
equinox, and we therefore decide that
we have today been enjoying; ?j ..the
equinoctial gales. We are also pleased
to note that they are not supposed to
visit us again until September 22nd, at
which time we'll endeavor not to be at
home.
We notice that the correspondent in
Sunday's Oregonian - claims that The
Dalles has a population of 4500, and, as
this is commonly conceded to be a factu
we would just like to ask a qustiun con
cerning the matter. According to the
school clerk's last report we have in the
district 1474 persons of school age and
1057 actual resident pupils. Multiply
this by the same ratio that they do in
Portland, and it will give us at least
5000, and this is not according to the
manner In which the census is ' usually'
taken. by adding on a thousand or two.
We would just like to have this matter
of. the census of our city settled at once,
for in the opinion of nearly every one
we have at leaBt 5000 inhabitants.
Being desirous of ascertaining just to
what an extent the fruit trees in this
vicinity- have been damaged, Mr.
Schanno has made it a point to visit the
orchards in the neighborhood of the city.
He' eaje, with scarcely an exception,
those wbo considered their peach crop aa
entirely lost, now come to him, with a
satisfied expression, and say, "Mr.
Schanno, I believe I'mgoing to have a
very fair peach crop after all." "In some
cases trees have been cut down whicn
never should have been touched until
their owners had given them a better
trial.
This is just such a day as The Dalles
would choose for one of ber genuine
fires, and therefore residents were much
excited when the whistle at J. T. Peters'
mill was heard to sound a' warning
about 9:30 o'clock this morning, and
was afterward answered by the fire bell.
It was discovered that the roof had
caught fire, presumably from a spark,
which was- preparing to spread uncere
moniously. A bucket or two of water,
however, dampened its ardor, and the
services of the Fast Fnd Hosa Co.,
which was soon on hand, were hardly
needed. ' .
We now have an organization in our
city which has for years been sadly
needed the Fire Police Patrol, which
met last night in the recorder's office
and adopted rules and by-lawB. , Its
members were also sworn in, and now
have the authority to make arrests of
persons who may be found pilfering
goods carried out from the buildings at
tbe time of a fire. It is a sad commen
tary on humanitv at lame that such an
organization is needed; but it has been
proven many times that goods once
eaved from buildings are lost to their
owners by being stolen afterward.
Some time ago tbe Willamette Valley
Chautauqua Association, in conjunction
with tbe Ashland and the two California
Chautauqnas, signed contracts with
Rev. Sam Jones, and his agents, to de
liver two lectures at each gathering.
The assembly has beer advised by the
coast Chautauqua manager that Jones
cannot fulfill the contract, although the
lecture bureau says that Jones can come
if $300 more than the agreed price is
guaranteed. The Chautauqua people
look upon this as a bluff from the
lecture bureau to get more money, and
think they will secure Jones anyway.
A few of our residents were much con-,
cerned two months ago when it
was learned that a man had arrived in
the city who intended to at once file on
a portion of Dalles City and make it his
own, claiming there was a flaw in the
title to the city. His claim being re
jected by Register Lucas, he at once ap
pealed to the commissioners of tbe gen
eral land office, wbo, upon looking into
the matter, informs Mr. Lucas that tbe
decision of the office here has been SUB'
tamed in every particular, and that the
appeal has been dismissed. " Dalles peo
ple may, therefore, cause themselves no
concern regarding tbe validity of their
title to tbe land.
All are invited to be present at the
reception glven-by A. M. Kelsay and
W. H. Wilson to tbe ladies of the
Aid Society and their many friends,
at the home of the latter tomorrow
evening, when a good program will be
heard. Among . other numbers, tbe
newly-organized quartet will make their
debut and give several selections. Re'
garding their appearance it has been
announced that these gentlemen have
never appeared before west (nor east) of
the Mississippi, and it is safe to predict
that they will never appear again. In
all human probability this will be the
only opportunity afforded our citizens of
hearing these remarkable vocalists.

Dalles bowling team during last year's
regatta, and, in return for the courtesies
shown them bv the members of the A.
r.C, The Dalles bowlers are anxious
for a visit. Mr. Houghton assures the
A. F. C. that The Dalles men will take
no advantage of the visitors, but that, if
any of the Astorians meet with, or have
met, anv accident, tbe home team will
even up matters by bowling cripples
He also asks the Aetorians to bring
their children along, for, be Bays, The
Dalles boys love children. The Astorians
will not be allowed to spend a cent in
The Dalles, he says. Mr. Houghton
desires that a mixed team be sent up
the country, but it will be impossible to
grant this request. However, a team of
men will go to The Dalles, the bowlers
of which city are among the very
warmest friends of the A. F. C. The
visit is looked forward to with much
pleasure. Astorian.
OREGON VOLUNTEERS TO STAY
Little Prospect of Their Early Return
from Manila.
Spuds are said to be very scarce about
Portland, and tbe retail price has gone
np to $1.50 a sack. The railroads are
announcing a special rate of 60 cents per
one hundred pounds to apply from the
potato section of the Mississippi river.
As potatoes there cost but 60 and 70
centd, they claim that will ' make them
cheaper than tbe price now paid for the
local product. Hearing of the scarcity
one of ' our commission dealers
shipped a lot from here; bnt receiving
only $1.10 for them, found it would
not pay to ship. The crop is said not
to be especially scarce in this eection,
the price now being 90 cents. It is not
likely,' however, that much shipping
will be done from tbe East as there
has .been a' sufficient amount of this
product in the Willamette valley to
supply the' California market, which de
mand will ' now be 'lesB,' and. there is
certainly no reason for sending Fast for
them. : ' '. .-
: Herman Wise yesterday received from
F. L: Houghton, of The Dalles Commer
cial. Club, another pressing invitation to
visit the city by the - Cascades. ' Mr.
Houzh ton's letter is characteristic of the
writer, who' is a humorist of no "mean
ability. He vieited , Astoria with The
The Oregon volunteers may have to
remain in the Philippines until the
trouble is over. When that will be i
only a guess. General Otis is said to
be planning a blow at tbe insurgents
that is calculated to hasten the end. In
notifying the authorities at Washington
of this fact, he incidentally stated that
tbe boys were willing to remain as long
as there was need for them.
There is a difference of .opinion as to
when and how the war will end. Many
think that the asrgressive campaign be
ing inaugurated will soon crush tbe in
surgents, while there are many wh
think it will, take years to subdue the
Filipinos. "
It is the general opinion now that tb
volunteer army will be kept where it is
until the trouble i9 over. The boys have
in a measure become acclimated, a ad
have learned much of the ways of war
fare of the natives. This makes .them
more valuable than a lot of regulars
could possibly be, and it would be
fatal mistake many think, to replace
them until the Amerfcan forces are
complete control on the island.
, A good deal has been said about the
volunteers having fulfilled their con
tract, as they enlisted for the Spanish
American war. That war being long
since ended, it is claimed that the boy
are entitled to come home. While this
may be true, the volunteers are filled
with that same kind of patrotiem that
caused them to give up good positions
and homes when they were needed. N
one doubts that they will remain where
they are as long as needed, and indi
cations are that they will be needed for
a good while. Telegram.'
