Every day the CiiuoNin.i: receives
papors from all over the United States
containing the most complimentary
noticus of the recent trip of tho editors

their visit was not an advertisement far
reachlm! in its effects they should read
tho column after column devoted to our
resources and Oregon in general.
Messrs. Sinclair llros., the well known

Would it not be a eplended idea for
every business douce and residence in
tho city to be decorated in honor of the

haps never live to see such an occasion
celebrated again, Let's make the most
of It. Then, too, it Beeim only right
that the business houses should elofce at
about the time the boat will arrive and
remain so for a few hours at least, so
that all may have tho privilege of greet
ing them as thpyland at the D. P. & A.
N. wharf. Saturday, of course, is a bad
day on which to closo the doors of busi
ness houses, but an hour or so can surely
bo given on this exceptional occasion.
Tho fearful dust storm today has
caused everyone to turn their thoughts
toward the street sprinkler and won
der where it is "at." Tho reporter
ran across tho much-eought-after article
this afternoon and propounded tho ones-
tion as toils whereabouts this morning,
and as to why the "cross walks" were
not dampened. The driver mado
answer that it had nnfortunately broken
down, and that it took tho most of the
morning to repair it. He also said :
"Tell people, especially tho ladles, to
cease looking at me in such a cross tone
of voice. I'm doing tho best I can."
Surely tho angels could do nothing
more.
J. N. and L. B. Russell, of Woodstock
wore interested in tho sawmill which
was recently destroyed at Cascades,
with a lot of lumber. It has proven a
severe loss. J. N. Kueecll said yesterday
that tho owners wero uncertain whether
the mill would be rebuilt or not. The
insurance was only for a small amount,
and tho owners had been putting a good
deal of cash into the mill. They had
been disposing of their railway ties, but
up to the time the firo occurred they
bad not been able to sell their lumber,
but had jnst made arrangements for die
posing of it. They were just in a shape
to get some money out of their enter-
prize when the fire came and made a
complete sweep of the entire plant.

WERE NOT THERE.
Neither tVaa Thorn Anything Worth
Hearing There A four Kxcu.e
for n Mlnatrnl.
It Is safo to say that it would bo im
possible to find a half dozen persons in
the city who would acknowledge they
attended the minstrel show last night,
and vet, while tho company lost inonoy
on the performance, thero was n fairly
pood Bitilicnco in attendance; fully oh
largo as that which greeted Ward and
Ellen Beacli Yaw upon their appearance
here.
After seeing tho performots on our
streets and hearing the band, most
everyone had an Idea what to expect,
and still nono really imagined that a
75-cent performance could bo quito so
devoid of merit or of a singto feature
which would recommend it. If any
should choose to tako issue, however,
we might, for the sake of argument,
make an exception of the mulatto, whose
singing might bo tolotated in a 25-cent
show; or perhaps tho two tiombone
solos. As to the remainder of the
music, (if music it is called) it complete
ly overthrew tho argument that darkies
can always sing. The same old chestnut
jokes were cracked about the Dalles
police, tho way The Dalles girls kiss,
and the epitaph on the grave of u
mother-in-law. The indistinct manner
in which they were given prevented
much of them being heard, and it would
have been much tnoie to the liking of
the audience had the rest been in
audible. The programs were valuable enough
to be sold with a song book composed of
such late selections as "I Don't Like
No Cheap Man," containing beautiful
sentiment at best.
It is time people were beginning to
realize that negroes never make good
minstrels, and if you want to hear a
genuine minstrel show always pick out
a company composed of white men. If
anything of that kind is to be dreaded
it is a minstrel show devoid of merit,
and there are few on the road which are
worth 75 or even 50 cents ; certainly not
the "Georgia Up-to-Date," nor out of
date either.
DISCOURAGED AND DESPERATE-
John I'arent Attempted to Tako a Life
Which tu Illm Has liecotne
a liurdm.
It 18 not surprising that some un
fortunate persons grow tired of life,
particularly when some incurable disease
has fastened itself upon them and there
seems to be no hope of escape; the
wonder is that more do not attempt to
take the short road which leads to the
inevitable end. Were it not for that in
surmountable barrier tho divinity
which Bttra within us and intimates
eternity to man wo would be compelled
to chronicle the death ot more of the
class who give up in despair.
Such a case is that of John Parent,
who at 0 o'clock last night attempted to
tako his life, by shooting himself nt his
home near tho reservoir. For the past
three years he has beeu .suffering with
consumption, with no hope of recovery,
and although everything has been done
for him that a devoted wife and son,
struggling with poverty, could do, he
grew to consider himself a burden and
decided to end tho struggle. IIIh wife
and son being absent for a short time
about 6 o'clock last evening, lie got hold
of a 22-rille which belonged to tho boy,
and lying down on the bed, placed the
muzzle in his mouth nnd shot. He,
however, threw hie head too far back and
the bullet ranged upward through the
upper part of tho noso to tho center of
the forehead, escaping the brain. Drp.
Geieendorfler and Logan wero called,
but did not succeed in finding whoro it
had made a lodgment. The patient is
too weak to undergo an operation, li is
lungs being almost gone, and develop
ments mutt ho awaited. Strange to say
lie slept fairly well last night ; as lie Bays
better than for some time, and is utill
alivo as wo go to preSH.
Mr. Parent is a man about 00 years of
age, a member ot tno ii. a. it. and one
who has always been highly respected.
Those who understand his case, while
regretting tho deed, scarcely daro to
censure; but have only pity for one who
has struggled so long against tlio inevita
ble mid circumstances so discouraging.
A Warning to the tteafit.
For some time past some beast (for wo
will not call him a man) has chosen to
use our show windows aa a Bpittoon in
preference to the street, thoreby dis
figuring tho glass and causing us no
little trouble. That it is done malicious
ly is n self evident fact; and further wo
wish it understood that wo are cognizant
of tho party who has perpetrated the
insult, and take this means of warning
him as to the result should he continue
Ita practice,
