Tho sidewalk in front of the old Full

constantly being erected in our city,

our sidewalks, streets and alleys are
neglected and unkept, the town will

Saturday afternoon nt the Methodist
conference in Spokane, Dr. G. K. Brown
said to tho ministers: "Don't cry-
God don't want men tn bellow in the
pulpit. A crying preacher is a min
isterial baby. Bo lavish with your
errfotionn in their true sense, but don't
cry." One minister asked : "Is it al
ways possible for one whose soul is
tilled with emotion to check the tears?"
"No. I never said a word about tears;
lot tt.em come. 1 only said, don't bellow
in the pulpit. I heard a minister tell
five deathbed stories in one Eermon;
was that right? That's brutal. Pathos
is a good thing, but when a man comes
nut of a graveyard every time ho
preaches, It is infamous."

J This nfternoon at 2 o'clock at Union,
Or., two young people in whom Dalles
people are much interested were united
in marriage, nnd Miss Etta Story be
came tho bride of Frank Cra-r. It is
their intention to spend a week visiting
cities on tho Sound and then return to
The Dalles to make their home. When
Miss Etta left this city scarcely a year
ago, it was with deep regret that her
friends parted with her, for she was ever
a favorite. Always pleasant, with a
kind word lor all and foremost in every
good and charitable work, she endeared
herself to all and 'tis not surprising that
ho who is now her husband saw in her
much to r.dmiro and that would certain
ly make her a perfect helpmate and
companion. Mr. Gram, who has spent
tho greater part of his life here, is pos
sessed of thoeo qualities which cannot
fail to demand the respect and admira
tion of his friends. Always industrious
and energetic,. steady in his habits and
affable both to friend and acquaintance,
he cannot fail to bo all that iB deured as
a husband. The young people have tho
hearty good withes of all, and will be
welcomed in The Dalles us they come to
make their future home.
An item has been going tho round of
the country press to the effect that the
aluminum wires now in use so ex
tensively by the telephone companies, are
no good and copper wire will have to bo
substituted. This assertion is said to be
decidedly false. While tho company
has experienced much troubln with tho
line from here to IMneville, it was not
because tho aluminum wires aro not first
class, but because a mistake was made
in the maimer of putting them up. Per
haps a more difficult route could not bo
found than that to Prineville, where the
wind has full fweep and the elements
have undlsputtd sway. These wires
were stretched too tight, and being so
susceptible to climatic conditions con
tracted arid snapped whn tho weather
becamo tho least bit cold. Now that
they have been slackened no difficulty
is anticipated aud the company does
not expect to employ but one repairer
on the line. The Snoqualmie Falls
power transmission plant which trans
mits u0,O0O horso power from the falls, a
distance of forty-five miles over two
lines to Tacoma aud Seattle, and which
uses large aluminum wires, experienced
the same difficulty, having miscalculated
the co-efficient of expansion of these
wires, but by slackening them consider
ably now have no difficulty whatever
aud are more than pleased with them,
as is also the Oregon Telephone
Company.

A FISH STORY.
That Ig, us Fiir ns the Upper River Ik
Concerned.
Reports from the fishermen ebv that
while a few stray salmon are finding
their way to tho wheels, the outlook as
yet is not bright. They were lfd to be
lieve that tin fall catch would be all
riaht, but it will have to change materi
ally if their hopes are realized.
Deputy Commissioner Morgan said
yesterday that nets were so thick, along
the lower river that towing rafts of logs
was seriously interfered with. He also
expressed the belief that more. pound
nets were put in this year than ever be
fore. Fishermen there have counted upon
the fall and winter run being very large,
hence they have made remarkable prep
arations for taking care of it.
There is only one thing most of them
say that can provent a big run this fall,
and that Ib dry weather. Fishermen
maintain that tho fish come up much
better when the water is a little muddy.
The continued wet weather in the
summer causes many to think there will
be u dry fall in that part of the country,
in which event, they say, the fisherman
who failed to get rich while the spring
season was on, will again meet with dis
appointment. Those who have been dipping their
nets on the quiet before the season
opened down there, have given it out to
their friends that they were only samp
ling the river, and they declare that the
sampling done indicates a rich harvest
of fish thin winter.
This, of course stimulated every one
who owned a net or fishing gear of any
sort to get it ready for the season, and it
is more than likely that such an army of
fishermen has not been Eoen before on
the lower Columbia in the full, as will
be there for the next few months.
Increasing the price one-fourth o( a
cent, with prospects of better figures
later cn, has also hud its effect, ami
many who have heretofore been satis
fied with working by the day aro now
"paddling their own c.wiue?."
An Accident on i''lvo Jlllo (liuile.
Two men came near losing their lives
on 5-Mile hill Sunday night by an ac
cident which occurred just as they were
going down thu grade to tho old Thomp
son place, now owned by Ketchum.
James Eagan and F. N. Cain, of Prine
ville, were taking out two wugons loaded
with freight, which were drawn by six
horses. It seems thut thu former, who
was driving, had been drinking, aud his
companion warned him as ho diove
down; hut he fulled to take hied.
Finally the front w.gou tipped over,
throwing both men out and tcitteriug
the freight promiscuously. The driver
escaped with little injury, but Cain was
in a terrible position, being pinned
down by the wagon and dlnctly against
a barbed wire fence, which penetrated
his legs just above the knee, lie re
mained in this position for three-quarters
of an hour before help came to them
from the people who live in the Ketchum

dig out underneath him in order that he
might be extricated.
He was taken to tho house uncon
scious and Dr. Geisendorffer sent for,

lashes from the barb.-d wire that lie was
hurt internally. Tho doctor made
another trip last evening, aud, strange
as it may seem, is of the opinion that
he will recover.
Thu Theatre From the Inside.
That there are five thousand theatres
in America, and that one million and a
half people attend them each week-day
night, spending seventy million of dol
lars a year on theatre-going, are the sur
prising facts with which Mr. Franklin
Fyle;, the dramatic editor of the New
York Sun, will open an important series
in tho next issue of The Ladies' Home
Journal. The series will be called "The
Theatre and Its People," aud will run
through seven numbers of the magazine,
lavishly illustrated with pictures made
by twelve different artists. Tho articles
will treat of every phase of tho theatre,
the play and the actor, from tho inside,
aud will toll how a theatre i9 managed ;
the actuil money which plays have
mule; how au actor is trained and what
actors aro actually paid ; how a play Is
written and what the authors lecoive;
how a play is rehearsed ; tho first night
of a play; how the actresses "make up"
and what they use; aud in' a minute
way the two last articles will show what
goes on behind the scenes on tho stage
during a performance. It is a curious
fact that this will he the first timo that
the theatre and tho actor have been ex
haustively treated in a mugizlne, audi
that there is no book on tho subject, in
existence.
