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

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.

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.
