C Nickelsen, to Mr. Harry Grubb, of Arlington, Wednesday, January 8th, 1902. The Chronicle extends con gratulations. Yesterday being the fifteenth anni versary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wilson, a few of their neighbors surprised them by walking in last even ing unawares and spending the evening very pleasantly with tbem. Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock a watch night service will be held at the M. E. church, continuing until 12 o'clock. The pastor will preach a sermon and other religious exercises a ill tako place. The public are invited to attend. The club members are arranging to watch the old year out and the new year at the club rooms tomorrow night, in a jolly manner, with a short musical pro gram, bowling and all the amusements the club affords. It being ladies' night, it is hoped a large crowd will be in at tendance. This morning at The Dulles Hospital Dr. Ferguson amputated the left leg of Louie Burlinganie, who was brought here from Moaier a few days since suffer ing with necrosis of the bone. Although the leg was in a bad condition and taken off at the hip, the boy stood the opera tion remarkably well.

Tbe wheels will go round in the Dalles Flouring Mills built by tbe Wasco Warehouse Milling Company, at an ex pens close on to half a million dollars, some time next week. This enterprise to os of the Inland JStoplre ranks far ahead of the incipient enterprises which caused such uiitaoaiuous growth to Min neapolis and tbe state of Minnesota. The Dalles will now become tbe pros perous promoter of e surprising interior deeIopment.--Obeerver. Tbe engagement is eanennssd of Mies Jeannette Gaynor Williams, daughter of Mrs. A. M. WlUiams, as falling to bk. A. G. Duuo, of Seattle. The will be solemnised on January 8th iu we still claim Miss Williams as a Dalles girl and as such her friends here are deeply interested in her welfare and will extend their sincere well wishes. Senator Raley made no mistake at the banquet Saturday night when he re marked that The Dalles is no "ten-cent town." That fact has been demon strated in a hundred wavs in the past few months and is recognized by all who have any business dealings with us. In no place of its sise on the coast does more money change hands, or is more substantial business transacted. Among the minor evidences of its prosperity during the past summer is the fact that so much real estate has changed hands and so many fine residences been erected. Other evidences are too .numerous to mention ; but it takes more than ten cents to buy us out. Among the little ones who took part iu the Christmas exercises of the Boys and Girls Aid Society in Portland we notice the name of Clyde Meiklejohn, oue of tbe children who was beaten so badly by his parents and taken in charge by the society a month since. 'Tie not to be wondered that among the forty children there this little one should he chosen as one of those who took' part in the program for he is certainly oue of the brightest children imaginable, and Buiierintendent Gardner informed the writer recently that as soon as the trans fer of the children to the society is made permanent be will find not the slightest difficulty in obtaining homes for the Meiklejohn children, application having already been made for them. As the new street lights dissijiated the blackness of the past year er two Satur day night, our citizens felt that a new era had dawned, and that whereas they were blind now they see. The power for the lights now in use is generated by steam, passing, however, through the new appliances, and are all that could be desired. Beside being free from the un pleasant flickering so annoying in the old street lights, they have the advantage of being enclosed, thus preventing the bug nuisance. Electrician McArthur, with bis assistants, labored until mid night Saturday night in the endeavor to grade tbe light to the desired degree. Chief Engineer Simmons, of the Pacific Bridge Company, left yesterday for Pes Chutes, end the water will be turned on tbe wheels today. It will require a few days at least, to test the machinery thoroughly, making the date of tbe On advent of the power into the eity en un certainty. The last delay was caused the potential awttob board which shipped from kaheeotady m Urn tfa Bow Our Citizens Succeeded in Cele brating la Honor of the Wasco Ware house Milling Company, TLs banquet given 8atnrday evening by the citiseas of The Dalies to tbe members of the Wasro Warehouse Mill- ins Company was one of the most pleas ant and sociable events ever occurring in The Dalles. The big dining room of tbe Umatilla Mouse was beautifully dec orated, and the two long tables running diagonally across the room and meeting at the front doors were a mass of glitter ing glassware, flecked out with ferns and flowers. Promptly at 9 o'clock the doors were thrown open, and the merry crowd of "celebrants" filed in.. Covers were laid for 164 and there was not a vacant chair. Mayor Farley presided, "open ing the ball" with a thort but pithy statement of tbe occasion of the hilarity, expressing in warmest terms the appre ciation tbe people of The Dalles all of them had for those who had carried the undertaking to eo successful an issue, and in conclusion called upon Hon. E. O. McCoy to respond to the toast, "Tbe Wasco Warehouse Milling Company," the toast being washed down with all on their feet. This of coarse occurred after the menu had been discussed. It seems superfluous to say that tbe table would have groaned under its weight of good things, but groaning was not permieeable, so It just suffered in silence. Mr. McCoy in responding gave a too brief history of the trials and troubles tbe company had met with, including that of the strike of the steel woikers east, which delayed the shipping of ma chinery, and prevented tbe completion of the work in October, as was intended. He was given an encore, but as there was only one company to give tbe his tory of, declined to respond. He was followed by Hon. U. S. Wilson with "re marks." He suggested that while Hon. J. N. Williamson was down on the pro gram for an "oration," Judge Bennett, 8. L. Brooks and himself for "remarks" and N. Wbealdon for a speech , that Rev. D. V. Poling was, when they all got through, only able to "talk." Mr. Wil son's remarks were to the point; bright and sparkling with wit. Mr. Brooks was unavoidably absent. Mr. Whealdon made a rolid business talk, and perpetrated a pun on Mr. Lord, tbe purport af which was unfort unately missed, bat wbicb broagbt down the house. Hon. J. N. Williamson made a strong speech, setting forth the wonderful re sources of Crook county, which mast all add to tbe prosperity of Tbe Dalles, and another toast to "Oar Sister Counties" was drank standing. Prof. J. S. Landers made a very witty and telling little taik that was heartily applauded, and was followed by Mr. Doathit of tbe Tfmes-Monotaineer in a brief talk on tbe future of Tbe Dalles and surrounding country, which was re ceived with a hand-clapping that must bare made many a palm tingle. Hon. W. II. Wilson laid the blame of not being loaded with a speech on bis namesake, H. S., whom he claimed bad promised to write one out for bim but bad failed. Apology, however, was quit nnnecessary, for oue of the best speeches of the evening was given by that gentle man, who voiced tbe sentiment of all in hi' remarks. Hon. J. H. Raley, who happened in, was called on. All who are acquainted with tbe senator know bow easily and gracefully he speaks. On this occasion be "outdid" himself, and "hoped to tee Vf be Dalles grow until Peodleton was one ll m . . i a a . a. a . 1 fct its suoorDs, ana mat its i ignis aim power could be furnished from Mt. flood." This ore ogut out a toast la Uma tilla county another stand-up fellow. I Judge Bennett made one of bis best talks witty, logical, forceful suggest- jve of things to come. f Rev. Poling turned a neat point by laying be was indeed glad to address so true a congregation of genthmen, and if bey would consult their watches tbey rould understand why. It was two niontes afier midnight. There was nly one fault wltb bis talk, and that as. it was too short. J. H. Cradlebaogb was down on tbe ogram'for a "House-warming," and mad that Jodd Fish eat bim in tbe ment to look after tbe furnace, and as not prawns.
