The steamer Al Ki which just arrived
at Seattle from Skagway, brought' down
a cargo consisting of $10,000 iiir bullion,
the last month's clean-up oft lie Tread
well Company, and evenly-live boxes
of Wrangle Narrows halibut. The Tread-
well monthly shipment was only about
half the December cjeun-up ol the com
pany, but this Is acounted for by the
fact that nearly one half of the stamps
were idle duringJanuary by reason of
of the water power which operates the
plant being frozen up.

current in Portland, however, that

Astoriun.
Eugene is contemplating tho organi
zation of a commercial club and from
all indications will have such an In
stitution at no late date. In part the
Eugene Guard says: "The question of
organizing a commercial club In Eugene
often comes up for discussion, particu
larly after a trip to Salem, Portland,
Astoria, The Dalles, or some other city,
where the business or professional man
of this city Is entortalned by his ac
quaintances in well appointed clubs
having every convenlehce and comfort.
When it comes to a question of energy
in personally conducting individual bus
iness matter?, the Eugene man stands
in the front rank, hut in providing a
comfortable club for recreation after
business hours, and u place to entertain
friends and business ucqnuintuncep, in
a sociul manner, tie Iire been neglectful."
Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning
u telephone message was sent to the
engine house saying that the residence
of W. II. Butts situated on the corner of
Eleventh and Liberty streets was on fire.
One alarm whs sounded from box 27
and the department answered in shott
order and in a few minutes was on the
way, hut by some error it was under
stood that it was Mr. Butler's property
on Fourth street that was on Ore. Find
ing no fl.unes there the department re
turned and then learned where they were
needed. Tho Columbia's with their hose
cart, started a second lime for the scene of
the conflagation, but when they arrived
near Phillips store the re-call alarm was
sounded and they retraced their steps.
The lire started from a defective flue
and burned a hule in the ceiling and a
corner of the adjoining room. The
house is cloth and papered and it seems
a wonder the entire building was not
destroyed. However the neighbors turned
out and formed a bucket brigade and
succoeded in checking the flames before
much damage had been done although
the entire household furniture. and be
longings had been removed from the
building. The loss as yet has not been
estimated but Is fully covered by
insurance.

If thoso who read Btrrle's "Littlo
Minister" deemed It an odd story as
told in tho novel, their opinion was only
Intensified as they witnessed the play at
the Vogt last night; for while varying
greatly from the book, it has lost none
of its oddneee, which was, if anything,
intensified by the fact that much of the
conversation wa9 lost on tho audience
on arcount of the acoustic properties of
the hall. However, in tho hands of such
a splendid company as Frohmau's, the
production waa greatly enjoyed, and
kept all wondering what would come
next.
Grace Heyer was " Babble'' outright,
and seemed to have a peifect under
standing of the difficult part, for diffi
cult it certainly is. In the firtt place
she has such a charming appearance,
added to which tho cuteness of her act
ing and the absence of affectation made
her perfect. Kate Ten Eyck, as "Nan
nie Webster" was equally as good a: d
did the old maid's part in a manner
greatly pleasing to all. It may, however,
be Raid that in the second act she some
what ex ggcrated tho character, but
not to its detriment.
What is said of the former ladies ill
also apply to Sadie L3iier as "Micau
Dow" and Marion Convere, B.tbbie's
maid, for though the latter had less
prominent characters wore fully as tx
acting. Adoiph Jackson evidently has a con
ception of the character of the little
minister which is hardly understood
by his audience. The Oregoman spoke
of him as appearing "dazed." And such
is the impression given ; more of one
who is under the hypnotic influence of
tho "little witch" as he terms her. As
such he could not have done better;
and no doubt his is the correct interpre
tation, for looking at it in another light
he lacks enthusiasm arid it would seem
will wanting in the Scotch.heartiness.
Uiie of the most taking things in the
play was the part which the four elders
carried out so perfectly. Their facia!
expressions, poses and make-up were
faultless and it !b not an unusual thing
to meet their counterpart in every day
life. They afforded much amusement.
"Bob Daw" as the faithful friend of
his minister and one who would give
his life tor him was a veritable Scotch
man in the who!e-3Juled character he
represented.
It has been some time since such an
all-round good company has visited The
Dalles and our people are very grateful
to Mr. Clarke for the pleasure afforded
them. The Dilles would soon gain a
reputation nr a theater-going commun
ity were we to have many such plays.
SMALL-POX IN TOWN.
Victim Camtt From Across tlio Itlver A
L'liai'KH un the City.
A man by the name of McDonald, who
has been working for the Central Con-;
struction and Navigation Co., came in
town this morning and went into one of
our public buildings in quest of a doctor.
He happened to meet one in the hallway
and was asked what seemed to be the
matter witli him. Replying that he did
not know, he took off his hat and the
doctor immediately lecognlzad that the
mail had small-pox. McDonald woe ad
vised to take a walk to the corner of
Third and Washington streets until the
authorities could be notified. A couple
ol couueilmeu happened to be passing
and they in conjunction with the City
marshal decided to take the man im
mediately to the pest house which is
located far back in the pines.
It was rather amusing to see Marshal
Hughes on one side of the street and
the afflicted man on the other wending
their way to the place of isolation.
McDonald is not very bad at present
but a nurse will have to be secured to
take care of him within a few days. It
seems rather nervy of the fellow to
march in on the population in the man
ner he did as lie may be tho means of
spreading the disease. The city officials
think also that they are getting the
worst of it but they agree where Euccor
is needed it must be given.
McDonald stated that more cases
would likely break out in the same
camp he came from, which is located
only a few miles up the river on the
Washington side. It would probably be
well for those in authority to investigate
and should there he any danger, a
quarantine should be placed against any
from thecnmpviplt.il).' The Dalles.
