slightly improved.
The fish hatchery station nt Little
White Salmon luw been closed for the

eggs were tucn. There are 8-10,000 eggs
on hand yet, and when they are planted
foon the number of young fry turned
out will be a little over 59 per cent of
the whole number of eggs taken.
On account of the rush which always
precedes the holidays and the impos
sibility for eomo members to attend
society functions at such a time, it has
been decided to hold tiie next Columbia
Club danciug party on New Year's
night, which will be ten days later than
the usual date; but much more con
venient for all.
The splendid musical program at the
HdUlwin tonight will commence at 8:30.
While the Jadies have for sale articles of

Charles Johnson, who went down with

Chenoweth bridge, suffered tv very pain-
ui accident In Iiavimr i s t lumit wiuiyi

senger train and Dr. Ljgan dreeeed the
injured member. It was very badly
iiurt, but he is in no danger of losing it.
The maneuvers of trains were some
what uucertaln in The Dalles last even
lgi and paiseogers for No. 1 had (juite
a wait at the Umatilla House, the train
iirrlving about 3:65, and leaving at about
8:15. The difficulty arose from trouble
t Chenoweth bridge, when at about 1
o'clock iu the afternoon a defective rail
caused engine No. 151, drawing freight
train 23, to be derailed, and with It
Just ten days more
of buying.

that No. 1 waa allowed to leave hero at

We regret to learn that our friend,
II. R. Blue, of Wapiniiiu, was so un
fortunate as to have his hotel burned at
that place Tuesday. Wo did not hoar
how the firo originated, but 'tis said it
is a total loss, as Mr. Blue waa not in
sured. He, however, waB at that time
arranging papers, etc., preparatory to
taking out insurance papers on the
hotel.
Today being tho centennial anni
versary of tho death of "the father of
his country," representative Masons
from every part of the world assembled
at his grave at Mt. Vernon to pay tribute
to that most illustrious of Masons and
patriots, and in most lodges throughout
tho union some special exercises will be
held this evening. Tho fhig on A. M.
Williams' store was nt half mast today
commemorative of the occasion.
Conditions have chnnged, and it does
not now look very much rs if The D.illes
would have a green Christmas this year.
After all there is ever mingled with tho
thought of Christmas the picture of
housetops covered with snow, and our
childish ideas of Santa Clans' sleigh tun
never give place to the commou hack
or wheeled vehicle; and to there ie hope
thut at Iea3t upon that occasion vva may
have enough enow to make a slight
covering of white.
Much of the beauty of The Dulles is
in its foliage, particularly the tr. ee, and
everyone regretB when property owners
find it neceseary to cut down tho tall
poplars surrounding their lots. All day
today the beautiful trees which have eo
improved the appearance of the court
house lot, have been falling under the
woodman's ax, and although every
passer-by exclaimed "spare that tree,"
no heed was given and they were
dragged to the beach. This had become
necessary on account of the damage to
the pavement from tho immense roots,
which were growing to such an extent
that iu many places tho walk was badly
cracked and raised so as to be uneven.
It will be several years before such
splendid shade can again be provided.
In Clarke & Falk's drug store window
Is a cage of beautiful Amer'cin and
Belgium currier or homing pigeonc,
which are attracting mucit auenuon.
They belong loll. F. Ztogler, who deals
in them, though not extensively, he
having taken u great liking to them
since he was a small boy and kept many
at home. Each of the nine birds have
a record of from 300 to 550 miles. One,
called a red-checker Belgium bird, won
first prize iu a 550-mile fly, from Bor
deati, France, to Antwerp, Belgium,
when 1000 birds competed. He flow
this distance twice. Another red-ehecker
hen flew 450 miles at the rate of 1500
yards per minute. The largest American
bird flew 600 iniloa in a day threo differ
ent times. Others have made records
on this coast and are valued highly.
8. Wilkinsou, Joe Bonn and others own
several carriers and they promise us
some races in tho summer, for it is
claimed this country has many advan
tages for their racep, as they have a
clear sweep down the river.
ItUKlneaR of the Fire Delegates.
At 8 o'clock last night tiie board of
firo delegates met to trp.neact business
in connection with the firo department.
Routine work having been disposed of,
a communication from the Goldeudale
department was read relative to pur
chasing the old hook and ladder, and al
though it had been decided to dispose of
it to Mr. Long, of Portland, Chief Lauer
was instructed to ccrreepond with Gold
cndjle regarding ttie matter.
Secretary Wiugato reported that he
had collected $'2744.98, tho fund for
puichasing tiro department improve
ments, and turned tho same over to
French & Ci.'? bank. The special com
mittee, which hao.had chaigo of the so
liciting, and were ordered at tho last
meeting to pu-chaee the eaid improve
ments, were then instructed that ar
rangements would he made whereby
they will bu empowered to draw the
emus necessary and expend them for
the engine, fire alarm system, hook and
ladder and all proposed apparatus. The
same has been ordered and are expected
to arrive onv day.

A student from our state unlveisitv
writes the Ciihonici.e hh follow:
Thursday, Dec. i!8th, is tho date on
which the people of Hie Dalles will be
privileged to listen to n concert given by
the University of Oregon Gleo Clnb.
Iho club consists of sixteen young
men of more than ordinary musical
Ability whoso voices blend so perfectly.
Besides their chorus singing, an im
portant feature of the entertainment
will be the Impersonations of Allen
Eaton and tho instrumental solos by
Arthur Frazor.
Of Mr. Eaton it is said, no ono who
has heard his rendering of a "Southern
Courtship" or "The Bashful Boy's First
Oration" will doubt for a moment that
this remarkable young man has a talent
In that lino ot work which will entitle
him to a place among the pre-eminent
artist) of tho profession. Certain it Is
that there Is a peculiar chaim to his
performance which fascinates his hear
ers and 'eavis an impression not soon
forgotten.
Mr. Frazer's skill at tho piano U so
well known and admired here that It
seemes almost like telling oyer an old
story to say that his technique is con
sidered wonderful, his power over an
intelligent audience amazing.
It is well to remember that the Uni
versity of Oregon Gleo Club Is better
tlnm ever beforo, and that its visits
among the towns of Oregon this winter
promises to be among tho first social
events of the season at the places fortu
nate enjiigh to bo included in its
itinerary. Btuhknt.
Now is the time to tit for Xaias

WHY DO THEY ATTEND?
Women Cnn Ortnlnly Flint Morn Ho
untiling rnntlntft Than Attending
the Mollnnlel Trlnl.
While all have been more or lees in
terested in tho result of the McDaniel
murder trial in Portland, at the same
time it Is certainly revolting to seo and
hear the amount of morbid curiosity
displayed by tho throngs of women who
frequent tho court room listening to the
harrowing dotaiis, when they would far
bettcrbe at homo endeavoring to mako
that place attractive for their boys and
girls, and thus may prevont them from
sharing a liko fate, Referring to the
subject, a gentleman said to aL'elegram
reporter :
"Thi9 case lias dragged along for days,
and I have been in the courtroom sev
eral times. What has Btruck mo as
most peculiar is .o largo number of
women who are constantly in the court
room. It is certainly no place for a lady
to be, as evidence has been introduced
which should be far from agreeable to
their. ears. Even when testimony verg
ing on de'icatu Subjects was reached the
women in the court did not show the
slightest desire to retire, but stayed In
their eeats with a fortitude equaled only
by the boy who stood on the burning
deck. The most revolting details of the
crime do riot f-izo them in the least, and
when anything strikes their fancy they
iaugti until order has to be called.
"What bring'j.the fl )ck of women who
are mere spectators is a- conundrum
which I have endeavored to solve satis
factorily, but without sncceE?, unless it
be, as I said before, due to extreme
morbid curiosity. I have seen Judgo
George's courtroom when more than
half of those present were women, not in
the least connected with the case.
Strange, isn't it? A few of these women
wore acquainted either witli tiie victim,
Claire Fitch, or the accused, Frank
McDaniel, but the majority knew
neither nnd simply occupied spaco in
tho court when they should be home at
tending to their household duties, if
they have any to attend to. There is
uucther thing I noticed witli respect to
these women and it surprised me. Not,
one of them was handsome, pretty or
even goodlooking, ami many of them
had very dull feature?, which occasional
ly lit up as some particular part of the
evidence interested then.
"Now, what I want to know, if, why
do these women attend? There is cer
tainly nothing humorous in a murder
trial, nor of an elevating character, but
on tho contrary, it is serious and fro
quently horrible and revolting, as the
motive or details are gradually un
folded." KANGAROO COURT.

by
Seven I'rlaoners.
