It is said that there is a great scarcity
of wood choppers down the river, and
that woou men are now trying to get
gangs of white men and chinamen to
work. 8ome say there is danger of
wood famine; but with so much wood on
the lower river, which could be brought
up in case of necessity, we need not
sutler much from fire.
Tuesday or Wednesday night next is
the time for the grand display of falling

many will avail themselves of this
subterfuge, when It occurs but once in
thirty-three years.

see the buds putting forth we may know
that summer is at hand, and while no
one will question such infallible truth,
yet in The Dalles at least there must be
an exception even to that statement, for
just at tho verge of winter, we find on
our table today some beautiful apple
blossoms, which were gathered from the
orchard of H. Falk, on Ninth street.
They are healthy looking blossoms and
the trees have borne one crop this year,
so that this Ib the second blossoms.

Word reached town Tuesday from
Lone Rock that the people of that placo
are excited over a gold strike recently
made by John E. Johnson and some
others near the head of Ray creek, some
forty or fifty miles from Lone Rock.
But little development work has been
done on the ledge as yet, the principal
prospect hole being but six feet deep,
but tho rock is said to be literally full of
gold, that is easily visible to the naked
eye. Frank Ralston went over to the
prospects a fow days ago and after doing
a few days' work returned for a load of
supplies, satisfied Hint a bonanza had
been found. We will await further
deu'lnpmentn with interest. Condon

Tho manager of the minstrel company
proved himself a gentleman last night
by tho thoughtful manner in which he
proceeded when Mrs. Eastwood, who
was In the audience, was taken with a
bad fainting spell during the perform
ance. Seeing that the people were
agitatod and that some one was ill, just
by a snap of his finger the stage man
ager stopped tho overture, and, asking
the audience to keep quiet, quietly told
one of tho stage bands to get some water,
tlms avoiding any excitement or dis
turbance to anyone and greatly benefit
ing the lady, for had the crowd gathered
round as in most cases, she would prob
ably not havo come to, the trouble aris
ing from heart disease. Mr. Eastwood
feels very grateful to them and especial
ly to the business manager, who so
kindly assisted him in helping his wife
from the building. A little tact at such
a time often prevents much unneces
sary excitement.
About 4:30 yesterday afternoon, while
sitting in a chair at his home in the
East End. near the Standard Oil Com
pany's headquarters, George Jones
complained to his wile that he had a
pain in the back of his head,
seemed to extend from one ear to the
other, and as she came over to him
asked her to hold his head. She did so,
and as it fell back he gasped twice and
died. For several years Mr. Jones had
been troubled with heart diseaee, which
bafiled all the physicians' skill, and for
a month baB been confined to the home;
but yesterday he seemed to feel much
better, and was about the house all day.
He waB a native of Wales, and has
lived in The Dalles for about twelve
years. For six years, up till '93, he was
employed bv R. E. Saltmarsbe; but of
recent years has not been able to work.
He was well known to all business men,
and being p. good natured, honest man,
was well liked. He leaves a wife here
and Eome brothers and sisters in Wales.
The funeral will take place at bis late
home tomorrow atternoon at 2 :30 o'clock,
and will be conducted by Rev. Jos. Da
Forest.
Yesterday the Boys' and Girls' Aid
Society, through their superintendent,
W. T. Gardner, made application for
the care of Jessie Brooks, aged 11, and
Elsie Brooks, aged 9, complaining that
their father had abandoned them, and
that their mother. Mrs. Fannie Brooks,
was not a proper person to have charge
of them. While not cruel or neglectful"
of them, her character is not such as to
warrant her bringing up children. The
matter came up before the county judge
yesterday afternoon, the mother and
children appearing in court. While not
denying the charges made agalnet her,
she was loath to give up her children
and produced a letter from her husband
saying that he had procured work and
asking her to come to him. She made
promise that she would in case her
children were left with her, and the
court therefore decided to givo her a
trial ; but in case her part is not fulfilled
she must forfeit tho children. Such a
move has long been considered advisable
by residents who knew tho state ol
affairs and feared for the children's
future, although they seem to be well
cared lor otherwise.
