WAYSIDE GLEANINGS.
It is not neceseary to remind members
of tho Columbia Dancing Club that to
night is the regular party night, for all
are looking forward to tho pleasure of
dancing; to the music ot a full orchestra.
At Prof. Sandvlg's dancing party to
morrow night, the Wentworth, Bon Ton
and Prairie Queen will be among the
list of dances, and all will have an op
portunity to learn them. On next Wed
nesday evening the usual lessons will be
postponed o'n account of the Firemen's
ball.
We are told that a fares of surveyors
are at work in the vicinity of lower
10 Mile. There are suspicions as to
what their mission it, hut nothing has
been verified so far. They might at
be a little more
givo them a few
least call on us and
friendly; we might
pointers.
Some of our bowlers have asked that
the names of the defeated team in the
three-cornered tournament Wednesday
evening be published; but the victors
seem to be reticent on the subject, and
do not seem to care tq gloat over their
victory. F. L. Houghton will furnish
any information desired.
The deer-hunting season always
proves dear hunting in more ways than
one, It has cost several lives in Oregon
this year; or rather, the carelessness
of companions is accountable for it.
From the Adirondacks, however, comes
the report that twenty-three persons
have been accidently killed this year.
The former parties given by Jackson
Engine Company having taken place In
the Vogt, without making inquiry wo
announced that the ball next week
would bo given there, We are, how
ever, informed that tho Baldwin has
been chosen this year. This change w ill
only add to the pleasure of dancing, as
the floor Is at present in splendid condi
tion, If any still are skeptical concerning
the truth of the statement that work is
tobefcin at once on the portage road,
they should have watched the loug line
of teams, wagons and all tho parapher
nalia which was ferried across the river
this morning prepaiatory to commenc
ing work in earnest. It looked like
business to those who watched the wait
ing lino at the ferry.
The superintendent of the Marion
county schools has decided to hold the
next county institute at the same time
as tho western divifion of the Oregon
state teachers' association on December
20th, 27th and 28th. So that 122 teach
ers, not consldeiing thoeeof Salem, will
bo in attendance. Many teachers from
this county will attend, and from all
Indications it will bo a most enjoyable
meeting,
Yesterday afternoon Clinton Brad
ahaw narrowly escaped a very serious
accident, which might have caused him
the loss of eyesight in the right eye,
While playing with tha boys n't school,
one of them accidently struck him In
the eye, At first It whs thought to be a
eerlous injury, hut it Is much better
today and the little fellow will be all
right and ready for another play In u
few days.
It takes a very little to make some
people get the big head and look down
upon their neighbors, and so our
neighbors on the north end of "Smoky
Row" are all puffed up over the fact
that they have put on an extra coat ot
pilot. The Ciihonici.i: never did believe
j in painting ana prefers beauty un
jodorned. Howover, as their improve
' wonts add to the general appearance of
j tho street, wo have no kick coming,
j TIub afternoon about 1 :30, W. G.
Davidson, u traveling optician, died at
tho Skibbo hotel. His home la near
Seattle and he has been in this city for
a month past, being ill most of tho time
and having received kindly caro., Ho Is
a man of about 40 years, and leaves a
family of seven children. Is a Scotch
mat! by birth, and of tho Presbyterian
faith. His remain were taken to
Mlchell's undertaking parlors, from
which placo tho funeral will take place
tomorrow afternoon at 2:30.
For three years and a half Bertie
McCoy has been a victim of consump
tion, and last night at 10:15 o'clock
death camo to relieve him of his suffer
ing. Ho was 10 years of age, and the
son of Mrs. Win, McCoy. His father
died several years since At the hospital
in Portland. He leaves, beside his
mother, several brothers and sisters,
The funeral, which will be conducted by
Rev. G. Rushing, of the Christian
church, will take place tomorrow at
10 o'clock from the family residence on
Fulton strKnt.
e boring for coal on Seufert Bros'.
ground, n half mile above the city, yester
day, the workmen struck an artesian
well about 100 feet belov the surface.
The supply of water is good and it is
thrown about twenty feet into the air.
Whi!e it will be of some benefit in the
work of boring, being situated as it is it
cannot be of any use to Seufert Bros.
Those who are in great need of such a
water eupply might do well to try the
experiment of boring for it before the
drill is removed from our city.
The meeting of the Student's Literary
Society tonight at the city hall at 7:30
o'clock will beof an especially interesting
nature. Invitations have been sent to
the members of the High School to be
present and those of the general public,
both ladies and gentlemen, who are
interested in the subject to be discussed
are invited to attend. The question for
debate, is Resolved, "That the Acqui
sition of the Philippines Would be Bene
ficial to the Utiited States," and many
of our most prominent citizens will cake
part in the general diEcussion, which
will no doubt be somewhat of a political
nature. It will not only encourage the
members to see a large attendance, but
be of benefit to the audience.
We cannot refrain from frequently
calling attention to the amount of
drunkenness among the Indians, for so
disgusting is it becoming that it is a dis
grace to the city. Yesterday afternoon
a specimen of humanitv called Caleb
Shorty, was found dead drunk lying
near the Baldwin opera house on the
beach. He was arrested and plead
guilty, when he was fined $5, which he
now eaweth out. This morning visitors
to the Umatilla House might have hail
a pplond'd opportunity to obtain an
Indian picture, without any objection
on tho part of tho subject. An Indian
woman was snoring nway a drunken
spree near a lot of wood piled up on the
street leading to tho ferry. It is dis
gusting to everyone that such a thing is
allowed to go unmolested.
As is their wont, tho Elks will make
their memorial service this year, if
possible, more' impressive than ever
before. Sunday, Dec. 5ih is tho date,
and W. T. Dovell, a young attorney of
Walla Walla, lias been chosen to deliver
tho eulogy. From reports we have
gleaned from those wiio are acquainted
with tho gentleman, and also judging
from mention made at various times
through his homo papers, we are par
ticularly foitunato in being permitted
to listen to Mr. Dovell. He is an inti
mato friend of F. W. Wilson, of this
city. Tho latter, we understand, has
accepted an invitation to deliver the
eulogy at Heppner, and If ever the
people of that little city had a treat they
will have it 911 that occasion, that Is it
an orator can succeed in making u second
effort as meritorious as was Mr. Wilson's
in Tho Dalles three yoara ago.
Tho Dalles will naturally receive some
benefit from the presence of 200 working
men so near her gates, and while moat
of the supplies will perhaps be furnished
on tho ground, yet there will bo much
that this city will bo deponded upon to
supply. Between the supply point and
the scene of activity is the Columbia,
not very broad here to he sure, but suf
ficient to necessitate the expenso of
ferriage. Wo understand the round trip
is 25 cunts' to a passenger on foot, and
while this is very reasonable for the
every day trade, would it not be a
splendid idea for the city to so arrange
it that these men can reach our city at
even a less expense; making such a rate
that tho laborer receiving the smallest
wages could make the trip each evening
without feeling that he is out much, It
certainly would he advantageous to the
city in the long run, These 200 men
Hill be here for six months, and some
maybe desirous of making this head
quarters. Tickets could be furnished
them at n reduced rate or In somo way
the trips be made cheaper.
About ff'Ny ladies wore invited to
meet Mr. Itogor Siunott at the homo of
her fister-ln-law, Mrs. J. 8. Fish, yee
terday afternoon, and it was the occasion
of a most pleasant gathering from 2 un

found that the skin h.ul been brokfn,
and blood appeared on the face and arm
of the smithy. In his attempt to stop
the blood and relieve the pain, tho In

coal dust so that it did not look alto

Advices from all along the Oregon
coast tell of an unusually high sea last
Wednesday morning. The Crescent
City Record tells of the effect of tho high
tides there: "Wednesday morning the
highest seas for several years, prevailed
along this part of the coast. The waves
ran mountain high, washing debris over
the breakwater into the streets of
I Cresceut City in many places. At the
j west end of Second street logs were
piled high in the street by the force of
the breakers. It was a grand eight to
watch the waves lin-ak along the rock
bound coaet, throwing sprav over the
highest mainland points and rocks de
tached from the shore line. The most
damage was done the bridge leading
across Elk river iu Elk valley. Logs
were thrown onto the etructure damag
ing it to such an extent as to make it
impossible.
