Mr. Stegman has a fruit farm near the

It will be gratifying to those who have
been unduly concerned regarding high
water this year,to learn that the river
has already begun to rise, standing this
morning at 9.8 above low 'water mark,
having risen 1.1 in the previous twenty
four hours. Let it come now, for by
rising in sections we will be spared the
immense, rise which would otherwise
follow, k : . ..

It is to be hoped that the "young girls
of our city who have assumed the
"hippoed" walk, apparently so mnch in
vogue of late, and so far from being
graceful, lost none of the extra curves
which were so noticeable in the car
riage of Mies Thropp last niglit. While
otherwise attractive, ber movements aa
she crossed the stage were certainly not
taking with thoae who are not sufficient
ly up in the latest gait. However, waile
it may be all right for a doll to carry
herself in that manner, it surely is not
becoming to a young lad v.
The following dispatch denying cur
rent reports ' that Bishop Christie, of
Vancouver's island, has been notified of
his appointment as archbishop of Ore
gon, to succeed the late . Archbishop
Gross, has been received from Victoria :
"Bishop Christie haB several times de
nied knowledge of. his appointment as
archbishop of Oregon. He Bays the
announcement must be made from
Rome, and at any rate he does not think
he will be moved from Victoria until he
completes the work which he has com
menced here."
.Graduates this year will have one ad
vantage over those of previous years,
who have been at a decided loss to
determine where could be found suitable
program . stationery. This annoyance
has been overcome this year, and Eome
of the daintiest, swellest programs may
be obtained by calling at The Chronicle
office and looking over the samples
recently received by us. We have them
of every description, from the plainest
to the most fancy. We invite any who
ma j desire programs of any kind to call

The accident which decaf red on the
Columbia Southern Sunday night is
only another proof that there should be
a law in the state compelling railroad
companies to build a walk on every
trestle along their line. There are very
few persons who would have the
presence of mind to step aside on the
ties as the train passed. Beside there is
much danger in so doing. There are
several trestles between this place
and Hood River unguarded by a walk,
and even in oor city the greater portion
of the large railroad bridge is devoid of
a walk, and sooner or later an accident
will happen. While the bridge is the
company's property and people walk
over it at their own risk, -yet it would be
much cheaper in the end had a walk
been built in connection with the road.
A DOLL'S HOUSE.
The Play an Unnanal One, and an Actress
Equal to Its Beqlrements.
In this day and age of the world ; this
age of strong-minded, higher-educated,
new women, it is a very difficult matter
to comprehend Euch a character as
Ibsen has depicted in "Nora," of a
Doll's House" a doll-woman, with no
comprehension of life; no idea of the
stern realities of the world as every
woman, be she ever bo shielded and
petted, must find it. While we admire
in some ways her sweet simplicity and
tender love for her husband, at the same
time we stand in utter amazement at
what would now be termed her "dense
ness," and. lack of womanliness, which
must in the end 1 . prevail. Indeed,
through all, our disappointment at the
fatal ending of the beautiful dream life,
we yet heave a sigh of relief to find that
after all she awakens to find that she is
more than a doll, she is a woman, and
reveals at ' the. same time the innate
womanliness bo admirable in her eex
The annaturalness of the character
assumed by Mies Thropp is proof to
our minds of her wonderful power as an
actress.. Meeting nowhere in her walks
of life a character which would in the
slightest degree resemble "Nora," the
doll wife, being not so spoiled and
pettish, as child-like, the actress has
simply no foundation 'for acting, and
creates the character herself, bringing
to her audience a character wholly new
and- puzzling. An actor's stronghold
is in his power to grasp the character
assumed and put himself in the place of
the : role he " takes This it would
seem impossible for any- actress to do
who takes the part of "Nora," and yet
Mies Thropp was the doll, and in the
final scene she was the woman.'
The only objection which anyone
could have found to Miss Thropp was
the fact that her enunciation last night
seemed at fault, and as in the case of
Milton Noble's visit to our city,' one
must strain every nerve to catch the
sense of the play. This was probably
due to the fact that she is used to play
ing in houses where the acoustic prop
erties are perfect.
In Mr. Montague she has the best of
support. As the indulgent, loving hus
band he was all that the part required ;
while in the heavier acting, where he
feels he has been wronged and at the
same time assumes the part of the irate
man, goaded to deetraction ' when he
realizes that his idol has fallen, he was
fully equal to the demands of tbe scene.
Especially was be good in the scene
where the thought of. sacrificing his
honor, as well as his individuality,
seemed to overwhelm him.
While the other parts are subordinate,
they were well taken, that of ."Nels
Krogstad" by Mr. Folsom, who in the
eud proves himself the most sacrificing
of the characters involyed," requiring
some clever acting, and being well done.
The play was a good one, furnishing
its hearers food ; for thought, and not
merely a pastime. And yet at the same
time one cannot help wishing the
miracle had been of a different nature,
allowing the wife to remain with her
husband, and the mother love to predominate.
