In the hasto and impromptu manner
in which tho question of New Yenr'e

From the increased number of letters
addressed to Santa Glaus recoived at the
dead letter office this year it is evident
thnt tho popular Illusion ol childhood
has as strong a hold as ever, or that the
youngsters aro becoming accustomed to
the letter writing, Siuco December 1st
moro than 1000 of these letters liavo
tcachod tho office, coming from every
state in tho union nnd containing re
quests for almost everything imaginable.
Two articles, however, dolls nnd candy,
seem to be in greater demand than any
others, tho little boys usually naming
tho sweels, together with something
el eo in connection with the sports. The
patron eaitit In nddreteed in various
way, the destination of some of tho
lettera being ludicrous. Some aro with
out itanipi, some with 2-cent stamp,
while not u few this year bore 5. cent
itampi, tho senderi evidently laboring
under theimpreuIon that the luppoied
dupenter of toyi reiided in tome foreign
country which was a member of tho In
ternational postal union. Whero the
nddrosB of the sender is given the letters
aro returned, otherwise they aro de
stroyed. The Orcgouian again comes out with
a splendid annual edition, nnd if our
state is not well advertised it is not the
fault of that most aggressive of all Ore
gonians. Wasco county, with the other
countlee, comes in for n good share of
prominence, and Tho Dalles, of course,
Ib justly heard from. There is ono kick,
however, thnt wo feel is justifiable, and
that is regarding tho cut of the city con
tained in tho plctoral supplement.
Surely the view must hnvo been takon
from tho most unsatisfactory point pos
sible, for it glvoi n very poor idea of the
beauty of our city nnd gives the im
pression thnt this is a little 2x4 town,
with a few scattering houses here nnd
thero. The fact is the burned district is
in tiie foreground nnd it doesn't even do
justice to thnt part gf the city. Thcre
arc, however, several other first-class
views taken by our leading artist, who
is hard to beat. We notice several of Mr.
Gifford's famous Columbia river views.
Our postmaster, Riddell, and sheriff.
Kelly, appear to good advantage, the
latter being especially natural. The
supplement, taken as a whole, is ex-J
cellent and gives a splendid idea of the
Ecenery and industries of our great Ore
gon and portions of our sister etutc. -
THE OLD OUT THE NEW IN.
How 1000 rnn Ornoled Calling Kevlved
111 The Dttllefl.
Dalles people were not overly enthu
siastic about welcoming in the new year,
although 1900 was greeted with the toot
ing of a few whistles, the explosion of a
bomb or two and the ringing of two
church bells. Time was when every
bell in town was rung, and the old rang
out and the new m with a vengeance;
but now we seem to have little liking in
speeding tho old and welcoming the
new. A watch night service was held
at tho Methodrst church and a midnight
mass at the Catholic, while ft large
number cf individuals formed them
eelves into parties and watched tho old
out and the new in.
Old Sol gave the new year tho "glad
hand" yesterday, shining out reeplend
ently and setting an example which
caused n largo number to imitate his
example and make the nust of the day
by revising tUe almost discarded, but
pleasant, practice of New Year's calling.
Tiie idea was not agitated until Satur
day, and all were surprised at the num
ber who responded, while about twenty
five homes were thrown open to receive
them. A much larger number would
havo been prepared had the ladies been
aware that such was the intention.
From 3 until 7 o'clock were tho hours
sot apart and pleasantly passed in ex
changing greetings and partaking of the
dainties prepared.
Contrary to tho usual custom, no
special entertainment had been pre
pared, and tho evening passed quietly,
savo to the members of tho dancing
club, who onjoyed perhaps tl.o most
pleasant of tho season's club parties.
The hall had been prettily decorated in
buutinu', and evergreen trees surrounded
tho orchestra platform and must havo
added nn enthusiasm, for never did
tntipic sound more sweet. An unusual
crowd was in attendance, who seemed
to greatly enjoy the dancing.

from the county for each elector regis

Miss Hattie Stirnweis closed a very
successful term of school in the Haw

closing exercises were very wpII ren
dered, and tho teacher and pupils joined
in making it nn occasion to belong re
membered by every one present and tho
manner in which eacli pupil periormed
their parts showed that their teacher
had taken a great deal of care in the
training of the pupils, and the spirit of
good will that showed lorth in each
pupil's face, wa9 an expression of appre
ciation for the efforts put forth in their
behalf.
Tho program was very appropriate for
the occasion, and also reminded one of
the fact that Christmas, with its many
good thinas, was still fresh in the minds
of tho people, and that New Year was
not very far away.
At the conclusion of the program
candy, nuts, popcorn and apples were
bronght into the schoolroom aud all
joined in a merry time, visitors and
pupils all thanking Miss Stirnweis for
the efforte she had put forth for the ad
