"Procrastination is the Thief of Time."
THREE DAYS MORE of the greatest privlloKo ever accorded the public of this locality to buy goods at a
Croat Sacrifice. You may give but little hoed to this warning but you will wonder at the difference In
prices after the First cf February ns compared with the presont time. Therefore take this final warning and do
not put ofr longer the purchases that will save you dollars simply because you think well, really, I do not need
anything this month.
During the balance of thl9 month we will have on sale our Cloaks and Jackets at the lowest
possible price in order to try and dispose of them that they may not figure In our inventory.

This, we understand, can be easily done
with the proper machinery. It has long
been the opinion of many that artesian
water could be found in the valley, and
we think the matter has been fully

One fellow wt.o hasnjt been worrying
1 over the century problem le John China
, man. The Chinese do not begin their
I record of years past with the birth of
Christ nor Confucius, but they enumer
ate their yeara from tin birth of the
emperor of China, which thoy say oc
curred twenty-six years ago. Thoy
re f u so to be guided by the telegraphic
reports of the suicide of one emperor
and the appointment of another, but
hold to the dates they have been ob
serving for a quarter of a century. They
began the new year last evening by
making settlements of all accounts so as
to start the vear with a clear balance
sheet, which would bo a splendid plan
for their white brothers to follow.
The arrival of the new year was
heralded by the small Chinese kid, who
Is monarch of all he surveys In China
town, being the only Email John in
town. Ho was attired gorgeously in all
the colors of the rainbow and strutted
the streets like a peacock.
No great preparation is ever mado by
The Dalles Chinamen; but just let them
get full of China gin and the celebration
attends to itself, much of their surplus
hilarity expending itself in the surplus
of firecrackers which make things lively.
The generosity of the Celestial is in
evidence upon this particular occasion
and none of their friends are forgotten,
firecrackets, nuts, candies, gaily-colored
handkerchiefs, etc., finding their way to
the homes of all their patrons and those
who are kind to them.
The Chinese in the United States
number 125,000 and they consume large
amounts of delicacies grown anil put .up
in China. The custom inspectors at
Portland and Port Townsend report the
arrival of large quantities of firecrackerp,
Chinese liquors, provisions and delica
cies, including canned fruits, sharks'
fins, seaweed, edible birds' nests, beche
de mer, preserved eggs, etc., and for
dessert a full stock of Chinese medicines,
including boluses as large as golf halls,
dried snakes, lizards, centipedes, etc.,
which are intended to overcome the
deleterious effects ot overindulgence in
the above mentioned-dainties. General
Summers, custom appraiser at Portland,
says enough of medicines hJve passed
through his office to kill every China
man in tho state if they were impartially
administered.

An interest In the temperence cause
has been awakened in The Dalles, and
results will be apparent In the future.
On Sunday afternoon at the childrens'
meeting seventy-one signed the pledge
presented, which includes abstainance
from intoxicating liquors, tobacco and

YeBterday afternoon Mrs. Graves
spoke to the parents and waB not sparing
in her criticism of the loose manner in
which the children are brought up and
the awful results of carelessness aa to
their whereabouts and in allowing boys
and girls to go their way unattended by
the father or mother. At this meeting

In a circular to wool growers Christy
fi Wise, tho San Francisco wool dealers,
"Advise consignment instead of sales at
home," and declare their belief that
"The quality of the wool will be excel
lent, but the number of sheep has been
reduced by the financial and climatic
hardships of recent seasons, anil there
fore wo cannot meet the heavy demand
like in former years, a condition that
will alone create sensational prices. To
our way of thinking the growers have
the best opportunity for a decade lieforo
them, and will retrieve thiough thoir
mutton and wool the severe losses of
previous years."
Victor Notes.
We are having a fine winter; no par
ticularly cold weather as yet.
Wheat is looking splendid, with good
prospects for next season.
Rev. R. G. Brown has been conduct
ing revival meetings here, with good
success, tie is a hne talker.
Our school is not so flourishing now,
probably on account of evervonefgetting
vaccinated and the smallpox scare.
However, there has been no smallpox
on Juniper Flat yet.
We are having little dancing here this
season. ictok.
