Live business men all realize the ben
efits to bo derived from advertising.
The Ciiuo.Nici.E is ono of the best medi
ums for reaching the vast number of
people in thiB vicinity, and we relate a
little incident that happened a short
time ngo and terminated today, ae proof
of what we claim. W. E. Markillie, the
accommodating salesman in the furnish
ing goods department of Pense & Mays'
Btore, came to our office nnd advertised
for a girl. A nine pound one arrived
yesterday afternoon at his home, and
frjm all indications will ttko up perma

says the Ciihomci.k is not all right as an
advertising medium?
Last night a man was found by Night
watchman Pliirman sleeping in the
Blair ay leading to the rooms above
Pease & Mays' store. He was assisted
to thu city hastile where more com
fortable quarters were provided and b
watchful eye could be kept on him.
This morning fie was brought before
Recorder Cates and lined five dollars
which lie paid after borrowing it from a
friend. lie stated that he belonged
to the bridge gang and had come to
town to do some trading and that the
only tiling Ije drank was lemonade.
When he arrived he said lie had about
$200 on his person but when he came
to his senses and searched for his money
it was missing. The authorities think,
his story doubtful, and that it was con
cocted as an excuse (or his being drunk
and broke.
'The Mrniiil of ChIu."
By far the beet performances of the
past week given by the Sam T. Shaw
company at the Frazer opera house were
those of Friday and Saturday nights.
On Friday night, "Held by the Enemy,"
William Ulilete'e fine war drama, was
produced, and on Saturday night "The
Brand of Cain" was the bill.
The scenes of the latter phy are laid
in Spain and in England. The story
has well balanced proportions of com
edy, lomance and tragedy. It portrays
strong sentiment throughout, and 1b
staged by tho Shaw company remark
ably well. The company carries its own
scenery for overy scene, tho stage set
tings contributing very much to the
success of the rendition.
Although the company put the piece
ou here almost for the first time, there
was mi excellent mileh to the work of
each character and a conscientious effort
to mako tho performance till the do
mauds of the extremoly etrong literary
product of the playwright.
Mr. Shaw appearred to flue advantage
lu tho dual roles of James Doe. Not
withstanding the eceuio effects were
sufficient to hold the attention of the
audience, Mr. Shaw and his company
did not depend upon them, tint sus
tained their parti with honest regard
for the requirements. Mr. Shaw had a
difficult task In interpreting two charac
terizations of distinctly opposite natures,
but he made the changes from the one
role to the other with admirable success
and won universal pralso from an
audience that packed the opera house.

SCOURING MILL ASSURED.
Kite Not Yet Helectrcl nut Machinery
Ordered.
J. M. Russell, a wool and hop mer
chant of this city, who has I a I undtr
consideration offers to establish a wool
scouring plant, lias returned to The
Dalles, where, it is understood, the
negotiations looking toward the putting
in of a plant at that place wilt be closed
this week. Mr. Russel says tho propo
sition is generally received with much
favor. The Chamber of Commerce of
The Dalles is etrinin? every effort to
provide the subsidy to get the mill
within Ithe limit of the option. It is
said a number of IccaI business men
stand ready to confer with Mr. Russel as
to a mill here whenever he signifies a
willingness to meet them. Orcgonian.
Relative to the above, is all right ex
cept we can assure the Orcgonian that
instead of "negotiations looking toward
the putting in of a scouring mill" that
negotiations have been made and that
all but about $1200 of the amount re
quired has been subscribed. In fact, to
further assure the public that the mill
will be built and in readiness to handle
this year's clip ie the fact that the ma
chinery has already been ordered and
will be shipped as soon a? poesible. The
site has not yet been decided upon, but
as several different options are open for
consideration their need be no fear
from that quarter. As soon as the lo
cation is determined upon work will be
commenced and the buildings pushed
to completion. We are going to have a
ecounn; mill and going to have it right
away.
An Old Mu Observation.
The following ie an extract from a
letter received in The Dalles, written by
a man who lacks but twelve years of
having lived the whole of the nineteentli
century and has always been a close
observer of passing events. He writes:
"The South African war Ib the most
far-rettchiug war in the history of the
British empire, nnd is likely to wind up
the longest and most auspicious reign of
England's sovereign the purest, most
beloved and most dignified of all that
ever graced the throne witli diEastcr to
her arms, dishonor to her mmistere, ex
haustion to her exchequer and the dis
integration of her power, both in the
east and the west of the old world. The
great day of judgment iias come to
England. She may put down the Boers
and assert dominion in South Africa,
but not until she has conscripted and
put under arms the largest army in tlw
world, and laid in a warrior's grave the
best muscle and the best blood of an
empire upon which the sun never sete.
"This war I conceive to be the most
suicidal as well as the biggest of all the
wars in which England on the ono Eide
wad the sole belligerent, with the
sympathies of all the non-English speak
intr world in Europe, in Asia and
in America against her, and not a few of
the English speaking people in America,
in Ireland and in all her conquered
provinces. Terror pits enthroned upon
the hearts of the ruling powers, and of
the people of England today as tiie
sequence of a war that ought not to be;
a war that might have been, and ought
to have been prevented by peaceful
arbitration,"
