The Dalles, January io, 1899. WAYSIDE GLEANINGS. N. M. Lane is erecting a neat little residecca on the bluff, eaet of Academy Park. John Anders jn, who was arrested last night by Nightwatchman Pbirman for being drunk and disorderly, appeared before the recorder this inorning and was discharged. An order goes into effect over the entire Southern Pacific svstem Jane 1st, closing bar-rooms located at stations on property owned by the company and conducted under lease from them. Late last night Jim Cox, a negro boot black, became too hilariously drunk and upon being protested with by a bar tender, finally threw a rock at him. This morning Marshal Lauer arrested him and be was fined fo. Being unable to pay his fine he will be compelled to occupy the jail for the next two days. The wind still continues to "blow where it listeth" and it certainly listeth in The Dalles, for we have scarcely bad a day for weeks when it has not blown as if possessed. We are told however, that its "an ill wind that blows nobody good," and therefore should refrain from kicking" at it, as kicks eeem to be use less as far as stopping its onward course is concerned. Saturday night the members of the 3-Mile Sunday school gave a "box social" at their school house for the benefit of their school. The room was fairly packed, and everybody seemed to have a splendid lime. A number of the young people from our city attended and made the bidding for baekets lively. At its close it was discovered $26 bad been taken in, which will prove a goodly sum to carrv on the work. We clip from the Greenburg, Ind., Standard the following notice concern ing a Dalles young lady wbo is now visiting there and whoee talents seem to be gaming favor for her abroad as well as at home : - "In addition to our lopal talent honorable mention is due Miss Georgia Sampeon, of The Dallee, Oregon, who is the guest of relatives here.' She was the leading lady in the vaudeville specialties and was repeatedly encored for her splendid work." Strangers who visit The Dalles always express surprise that a town of its size is so lavorea witti telephones, which is accounted for by the fact that the price is so reasonable. From a directory which this office :s now getting out for the Oregon Telephone - Company we notice that they are soon to oner A resi dence rate of $1 a month, and as they are securing additional - subscribers every day, it will eoon result in a much larger telephone system than we now have. Stand by your home merchant. He is the man who helps to pay for the streets on which you walk, for the schools in which your children are eda cated ; helps to keep up the church in which you worship; be is the man who built a home which enhances the value of your " property ; every subscription paper that is passed has his name on it; he is the man who cannot afford to swindle ;ou, self-interest if nothing else would prevent it; be bears his share of the city government; stays right by you in sunshine and in darkness, and days 01 prosperity ana adversity. These are but a few reasons why your patronage should be given to the home merchant Already the base ball game is aesum ing very interesting proportions an A. M. Williams & Co. s team accept the challenge given yesterday for the 30 tb. The Mays & Crowe side of the diamond announce that they are re ceiving sealed proposals for "rooters,' and give it out that their colors will not be black and blue, but blue and gold. We always knew the firm was composed of gold bugs, but didn't know they would carry that political preference in to the baseball field, but perhaps they don't intend to be fielders. Later cometh A. M. Williams & Co. and announceth that all who expect lo stand by them should appear with the shades of scarlet and purple in evidence. We are also informed that E. O. McCoy has kindly consented to umpire the games. While at Fort Steele, B.C., Sunday the Metropolitan opera company, which visited The Dalles in March, and which we hoped would again play in our city, met with a runaway accident, causing the serious injury of the leading soprano, Miss Millard, and Miss Colby, a chorus girl. The former had her left arm broken, and the latter her right leg, while she was also injured internally. Will Risling, who took the part of the Peppo" in "Mascot," was also eligbtly injured. The accident occurred on a steep hill about four miles from Fort Steele. The members of the opera com- J pany were journeying from Cranbrook to Fort Steele by stage. In making the t scent of the bill. .-the horses suddenly took fright' and started to run away. The driver was unable to control them. From past experience with Dalles people we take it for granted that they will be pleased to learn that a dramatic performam-e is soon to be given by home talent. It has been decided to give a play called "A Summer Fancy" on Wednesday evening at the Vogt, the proceeds to be used as a fund for enter taining the editorial association while in this city. This will assist greatly in the expenses and at the same time the people will receiTe something in retarn for their money. The plav will be givtn under the direction of Mr. P. H. Levin, who from long experience on the stage, is thoroughly competent to give the needed instruction. He is a splendid actor imself and will take one of the leading parte, while the remainder of the cast will be made up principally of members of the Home Dramatic Club. Any wbo may be loath to part with those delightful little ever present stay ers, which have so long strewn the path of the traveler through the streets of our city, and who feel that they could not eujoy a drive unless they are permitted to skim over the smooth surface of the rocks in our streets, bad better hasten to to improve the opportunity afforded while yet they may be found, for the marshal has started a war on them, and now has a force of men at work removing the same. The question heretofore has always been, what was their mission in the first place? Will Carleton says, "It you want a man to enjoy heaven, just give him fifteen minutes in bell," and it may be they were strewn promiscuously about that we might more thoroughly appreciate their absence when they are removed.

There will be a businea meeting of the Alumni Association of The Dalles High 1 School, at the home of C. B. CushiDg on Friday, May 12th at 1899 at 8 o'clock p. m. As business of importance will come before the society it is especially ; desired that all members be present if possible. By order of. - Eeward D. Baldwin, President. Prineville seems to have become some what sought after of late, and realizing just how the matter stands, the Review has the following article under the head ing "Who Will Reap the Harvest?" The question whether our freight and mails shall in the future come from The Dalles or fiom Moro or the terminuB of the Columbia Southern, is now agitating the minds of the business men of The Dalles. The time has come when our produce is being sought after instead of our seeking. an outlet. The Columbia Southern are trying to make us favorable rates and claim that they can deliver us mail from Portland in less time than they can from The Dalles, and we understand that Mr. T. J. Driver, of The Dalles, who was in our city for several days, was here in the interest of that place. Mr. Driver did not inform us of his mission and we don't know exactly what he wanted. If The Dalles can give us cheaper and quicker means of transportation of freight and mails we will be satisfied. The people of Piineville look at this matter in just such a light as might be expected. "The Lord helps those who helps themselves," and a community that "18 looking after some one's else in terest is entirely too unselfish to prosper in this age and will find itself grandly left." The question with them is not really "Who will reap the harvest, but how much of a band they have in the matter7" While there may be a few residents of that town who are prejudiced in favor of one place or the other, the majority, we believe, have no preference other than the desire to benefit their own community, and that's all right. At the same time, it behooves the peo ple ot that section to canvas the matter well before coming to a decision one way or the other, for the earnest efforts of either contestant may reBult in pull ing the wool over somebody's eyes. The case resolves Itself thusly. It is The Dalles vs. Moro, and the place which offers the beet inducements will come out on top. It now becomes the duty of our business men to study the matter from every phase of ' the question and see what inducements can be offered by way of obtaining the desired end. If it is required that the advisaDinty ot a road up the Des Chutes be again brought up, let us get to work and make it a go. If more is required, more should be given. At any rate, let us do something at once. Ten Hours. With each returning season the Lozier Manufacturing Co. show something new and desirable in Bicycle construction.
