Speaking of the recent Bruner trial
the Prineville Keview sayp: "This
was N. J. Sinnott's first appearance in
our courts and the able manner in which
he reviewed the case and the logical in
ferences he drew from the testimony
must have carried conviction to the
jury. For an hour he faced the jury,
and the congratulation that he received
at the close of his address were many,
and all his friends who heard his able
plea predict for him a bright future."
The business directory of The Dalles

to bo lirst-ulaea and should be liberally

Tin: OiiuoxiiM.u inadvertently omitted
to mention Mrs. Jim Blakeney and Mr.
K. II. Merrill among the names of the
delegates from the local lodge of Kobok
ahB and Odd Fellows to the meeting of
the assembly and graud lodge at Baker.
Most of the delegates have returned and
they speak in glowing terms of the gen
erous treatment they received from their
brethren and the citizens of Baker City
and Sumpter. The latter town sent a
committee to Baker City and invited
the delegates to visit Sumpter and some
COO accepted, who were carried there
and back to Baker free and given the
freedom of the city while there, At
Sumpter the delegates were met by
easily two-thirds of the citizens, headed
by tho mayor and council, a troop of
militia, the tire department and a brass
band. Sumpter, they say, is a marvel
ous place, with a population claimed at
2,500, as compared with 800 in 181)9 and
nobody at all a few years earlier.
The Woolrn Mill I'ropooltlon.
The mass meeting at the club rooms
last night, which was convened to dis
cuss matters connected with a proposi
tion for placing a woolen mill here, was
fairly well attended.
President Whealdon occupied the
chair and stated the object of the meet
ing. W. D. Wagnon, representing G.
W. Hirst, of Iowa, was introduced and
stated in few words what Mr. Hirst had
to offer. Mr. Hirst was the owner of a
four-set mill, worth $28,000. The mill
was back in Iowa. Mr. Hirst proposed
to install it here. It would give em
ployment, when running at its full ca
pacity, to from SO to 100 persons, and
would haye a pay roll of $3500 to $5000
per month. Mr. Hirst asked the people
of The Dalles to put up a loan of $25,000
for ten years at six per cent interest, the
loan to be secured by a first mortgage on
the plant and buildings. Mr. Wagnon
pledged Mr. Hirst to bear all the ex
penses of any investigation that it was
thought necessary to make to determine
the character of the machinery and the
competency and ability of Mr. Hirst as
a manufacturer.
After a protracted d'tEcussion the en
tire matter was referred back to the
committee on manufactures of the com
mercial club, whose membership gives
complete assurance that whatever is
done or advised by them in the premises
will be done wisely.
Since the meeting last night there has
been considerable talk among the friends
of the woolen mill favorable to having
The Dalles' contribution to the project
take the form of a stock subscription in
stead of a loan. It is the opinion of sev
eral prominent citizens that more money
could be raised on subscription to stock,
with the prospect of sharing in the
profits of the enterprise, than on a ten
years loan at the small rate of interest
of sis per cent. Mr. Wagnon intormed
these gentlemen that, other things being
agreeable, Mr. Hirst would have no ob
jection to a stock subscription of $25,000
instead of a loan.
A Splendid Show.
At the matinee performance of XorriB
k Iiowe'B big trained animal show every
available space in the immense tents
was occupied. It is the most complete
and interesting display of animal in
telligence ever seen here. It is in fact
an animal circus, as almost every act
attempted by human performers is suc
cessfully imitated .by these anitnale,
and most wonderfully clever and sagac
ious acrobats they are, too. The mag
nificent street parade in the forenoon,
with glittering chariots, handsomely
carved cages and tableaux wagons,
shapely and well-groomed ponies, dimin
utive elephants, excellent band, trained
seals, African zebra, and a host of other
interesting features was the neateet as
well bb the most complete ever seen
here.
The people who went to the Bhow
expected much from the smart-looking
little animals, but still they were not
prepared for the many astonishing sur
prises that the clever little performers
had for them. What time the audience
was not gazing in wonderment at the
almost human acts of the animals, they
were roaring with laughter at the clean
comedy of both the human and animal
clowns.
The performance opened with a grand
entree, much the same as nil circuses,
but while it was going on a beautiful
tableaux was fanned in the center of
the ring by a dwarf elephant, an African
zebra, almost two score of ponies, and
as many dogs, with Suowflake, the
beautiful white Shetland, at the top.
Next came a military drill by twelve
ponies that executed difficult maneuvers
with remarkable precision. Then the
dogs came ou. There were hind-footers
and front footers and somersault dogs,
and funniest of all the clown dogs. Fol
lowing In rapid succession came numer
ous riding acts by dogs and monkeys.
The performing seals were a genuine
novelty and won much applause by
their clever work. Some very exciting
chariot and hurdle races were given,
and th closing act was a very realistic
fire Eceue in which dogs ami monkeys,
acting as policemen and firemen,
handled tho miniature fire apparatus
with astonishing skill. Taken all in all,
it waf by far the best show of its kind
ever eeen in this city. There will be
another performance at 8 o'clock this
evening.
