There an no farmers in these neighborhoods who are any way in need of assistance. Appeal- Silverton is improving. It has all the natural advantages to make it a rat tling city. With a grand country surround ing it, its prosperity is assured. By work ing in unison for its mateiial interests, its growth can be hastened very much. Peyton Wilkes, aged about 100 years, died at his residence near Greenville, Wash ' ington county, Nov. 30th. He was one of the pioneers of Oregon, having crossed the plains from one of the southern states in 1845. The deceased leaves a large family of children, grand children and great-grand children There is an abundance of wood ia the city, and there is no possibility ot anything approaching a wood famine. Those who are desirous of advertising everything detri mental to The Dalies should nuderatand that we are well able to take care of our selves and desire no sympathy from less fortunate communities. Astoria Punter: Saturday afternoon last - Abjnin Johamen, a logger in the employ cf H. Alvison, of Young's river, lost his life by failing into the water from a scow lying alongside the .Navigation company s dock, The man attempted to get on the wharf by means of the rigging of the scow and boat hook, but the hook slipped and he fell into the water. Deceased was about 30 years of age and unmarried. Democrat: What might have been a fatal accident occurred yesterday morning when nvapftl ftf ttiA inirt in tlio now Tlttlr,., flitw .National joank building drawed out from tie walls and precipitated foreman Mc Bride and one of the hod carriers to the floor below. Both men were more or less scratched and bruised, but McBride the worst of the two. Astoria Pioneer: Without warning Luis O . i 1 1 i rr ,. , , . . oerra, tue wen Known xnira street rescau rantner, waa stricken by death last evening. Yesterday he waa about attending to busi ness as usual and about 6:30 o'clock, or just before death, he was standing in the irons pan ot tne restaurant, tie was seen to stagger a pace or two, put his hand over his heart and fall back on the floor dead, Deceased waa largely known and much re spected, lie was about 40 years of age and leaves a widow and four children. The funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon under the auspices of Beaver Lodge, L O. O. F. Eugene Guard: August Albes, a German, residing near Long Tom postoffice, 10 miles west of Eugene, met with an accident Wednesday evening about 5 o'clock which may cost him his life, and at any rate will leave him maimed. He was felling a tree and it started to fall the other way from that he expected; starting to run to avoid it he stumbled and fell, the tree falling across him breaking bis left thigh in three places and the right thigh in two places. By some fortunate chance the tree re bounded and left him free, else he would have died before he could have been extri cated. Dr. McKenney assisted by Dr. Brown reduced the fractures Thursday morning, and the chances for his recovery are favorable, although the fearful shock sustained by him, and possible inflamma tion may cause a fatal result. Albes is about 30 years of age and has a wife and One ehild. Harry Johnson, a wood-chopper for Weidler & Co., we are informed by Ha-ry Blanchard, purser of the Harvest Qneen, was drowned last Shtucday near Cbenowetb, about thirty miles west of this city. He went bunting early in the morning, and was missed late in the evening. Search was made for him, and his gun was found on the edge of the barge anchored in the river. It is not known how ho got into the river; but from the fact of his gun lying on the barge it is presumed the act was pre meditated. He was not intoxicated, and there is considerable mystery surrounding his traicic death. The people in the neigh borhood dragged the river and found his body Monday. Mr. Johnson was a Nor wegian, unmarried, and aged about thirty five years. The coroner from the Lower Cascades held the inquest yesterday. On next Saturday evening at Third Regi ment Armory, the attraction will be Miss Charlotte Thompson and her company. Of this actress the St. Paul Piona-r Press says. Delightful Charlotte Thompson! without doubt is one of the finest delineators of character on the American stage, and she was greeted at the Academy of music last night by one of the finest honses of the sea son. But in a community like this, who profess to know what's what and who'a who, the name of Charlotte Thompson alone was sufficient to fill the bouse from orchestra to gallery. And the play was "Jane Eyre" one of the most beautiful, affecting and moral dramatizations ever put upon the boards. As the noble, modest, wronged and forgiving, hnmble, dignified, sweet, loving and beloved Jane Eyre, Miss Thompson was simply superb. Her audi ence was highly appreciative and hung de lighted, entranced, as it -ere, upon her every word and action, as though there had suddenly appeared before them some beau tiful, holy being from a better world."

The muaio at the Episcopal fair last evening waa most excellent. The duet. by Professor Tully and Mrs. J. Smith was well rendered, as well as the dnet by Prof. Tully and Mai. Benton. The musical rec itations was a most enjoyable feature of the entertainment, and our citizens desire that these especials features be continued to the close. We are assured that during the coming season The Dalles will enjoy more prosper ity than any city in the northwest. We believe there will be a telephone system in anguarated, street railway, woolen factory and other productive industries. The Dalles in 1890 will wake np to a full reali' zation of her advantages and opportunities, and her growth will not be equalled by any town in the northwest. A eav vonne Lothario of this city, ot nocturnal tendencies, and whom his friends ingeniously call "the latest thing out," has hit upon a new scheme to account for his haggard appearance at breakfast. Having used all the excuses known, he has lately been troubled with insomaniv but in an in cautious! v prolonged inquiry about all known remedies for his maladay, he was asked by a demnre old lady if he bad ever tried going to bed, which caused sn abrupt change of topic In the conversation. Yesterday an employe ot the company while walking down the coal track was struck by a parsing locomotiye and knocked down. He fell towards the inside of the track, and the pilot pushed him a distance of twenty feet without any injuries except a few bruises. Alter he was released ne walked np town and was taken to his home. This accident will not happen so fortunate ly once in a thousand times, and men who expected every moment to see him rolled nnder the ponderous locomotive and mang led in a fearful manner, watched the acci dent with most anxious faces. from Thursday's Dally. The Episcopal fair was well attended last evening. Mr. Chas. Mell, of Centerville, Wash., is in the city. The 5th of December 'and not a flake of now. Can any. town in America beat this. The booths at the fair in the new armory are most artistically arranged, and you can purchase almost any conceivable object from a package of candy to the most uuique Japanese bric-a-brac . The doll booth, at the fair last night, was presided over by Mrs. Thornbury, Mrs. Cites and Miss CM vera. This was a great attraction for li.tle folks, and for youn gentlemen desiring bouquets.

This is an invariable rule, and admits of no exception. The art exhibition at the new armory will continue to-day and to-morrow, from 4 to 19 P. M. This is a rare opportunity for oir citizens to view some of the finest works of art in the state. A tame bear with some foreigner as owner, paraded themselves on the corner of Court and Second streets this afternoon The bear needed sympatby tor being n such bad company. John S.

The stage company are running sleighs from six miles above Prairie City to Suuipter val ley about 45 miles. Grant Co. yews: Cresap has watennel om at his store and this is the latter part of November. The melons are as good and sound on the outside as they ever were, out nave a tendency to be a tittle pithy in the interior. The Burns Items says work lias been abandoned on the well at the new livery stable after reaching a depth of 107 feet. that being as deep as the machinery would work to any material advantage. Arte sian water would be the making of Har ney valley if the people could get it, and they may strike it by boring in different localities. Among the gems on exhibition in the art gallery is a ctuster of fruit loaned by Mr. J. O. Mack, which was painted in 1801. The colors are still fresh and bright, although more than three quarters of a century have elapsed since the bru-h of the painter did the work. 1 he picture is highly priztd by Mr. Mack, as it may well be, considering its age, and that it has been a souvenir in the family for all these years. At Vancouver Wednesday morning John Wilson, one of the most prominent citizens of the town, was fatally shot by a stranger who arrived there on the morning train, and who went to Wilson's place of business. After the shooting the stranger fled and has not been apprehended. O dicers are in pur suit. The cause of the shooting is a mys- try. Wilson was well known in Eastern Oregon, having, it ia understood, lived at Baker City at one time. Thomas H. Mills was shot and killed near Prairie City on Saturday Nov. 23d, by Andreas Hanson, a sheepberder in the employ of Hall Bros. Mills was walking to his cabin, under the influence of liquor, and is supposed to have fallen into a ditch. In a dazed condition he was crawling around on his hands and knees, when the sheepherder's dog commenced barking. Being dark the sheepberder supposed it was some wild animal, and fired seven or eight shots- As soon as be found bis mistake he carried Mil's to his cabin, and delivered himself up. Mills was in a dying condition when brought to the house and only survived a few min utes. The New York Herald says that "Miss Charlotte Thompson is of charming pres ence and gifted by nature with rare talent. She is most undoubtedly in the foremost ranks of the artistic world. There are few, if any, who have all the advantages which Miss Thompson possesses. Her manner is natural, and the absence of stage conven tionality is not the least charm of her per sonations. Her action ia free and graceful, and she possesses a depth of sentiment and passionate energy which gives a vivid re ality to every motion. At times she has also vivacity and archness, aud all the buoyant and electric spirit of glowing genins." She takes ton leading lady's part n East Lynn at the Third Regiment Armory Hall to-morrow night. W. W. cTnion: A dispatch from Union, Or., dated Dec. 3, says: "The subsidy de manded by G. W. Hunt, manager of the Oregon & Washington Territory road, to extend the line through the Grande Ronde valley from Walla Walla to Union, has been fully raised. The subsidy, which amounts to $00,000, was raised last summer, but owing to delay in securing it, the time for completion of the road had to be extended, necessitating renewal of all subscriptions formerly made. This was done aud Manager Hunt telegraphed from New York to-day to Assistant Man ager Herman at Walla Walla to send an engineering party immediately to make final location of the road in the valley." The corps of engineers leave this city this morning. Twenty miles of the grade is to be completed by Aug. 1st neit, and the road is to be finished to Union pjrPec. 81, 1890. C mil seated.

Rath, and friends passed through The Dalles on'onr return from an extensive hunt np on the John Day river, some 40 miles from here, with a wagonload full of geese, ducks and jackrabbits, and wouiu liked to have called at the Times-Moon taineer office to show onr fine lot of game. but came in too late for that purpose. The game was mostly all killed on the stock ranches of Messrs. Jones and Akers near Emigrant Springs, where these gentlemen are extensively engaged in breeding and ira porting of thoroughbred horses and cattle. During our week's stay with these gentle men we had an excellent time and were en tertained to our heart's content. While hunting in deep canyons we were shown a huge petrified oak log, that must haye at tained its enormous size during ages un known to natural history; also fine sped' mens of petrified cotton and other wood, The geese were in the wheat fields in count loss numbers, and their rising np from the fields often resembled that of an approach ing cyclone. No estimation as to their numbers could possibly be made, and we o'ten saw large fields literally covered with them, and were told that there was much damage done to fall sown wheat by these feathered robber. The fall sown wheat looks fine and prom ises fair, to make np for the loss farmers s iffered this year. The soil in that portion of the country seems to be very rich, and we are of the opinion that if wheat growers and farmers in general would resort a little more to deep plowing, there would never need to be any fear of a calamity, such as was experienced this year by the drought. The young bunch grass looks tine and cattle are rolling fat. Upon a special invitation the party called on Mr. Draper, also an extensive stockman and wheat grower, near Emigrant. The party was there also pleasantly entertained, and Mr. Draper has quite a museum of cur iosities, amoug which we saw flue specimens of granite stone, nuggets, and ali kinds of petrified wood and "iaft but not least" our host produced a petritied human finger just as natural as that of a departed mortal. Mr. Draper and .family s kindness toward us will long be remembered, as will also that of Messrs. Jones and Akers. The Paett. gems of art on exhibition. Aside from copies of the old masters there are brush paintings of local artr.Bta which are well worthy of mention. The exhibits of the Misses Hollister, Mrs. Pond, Mrs. Blakely, Mrs. Lochhead. Miss Lang, Miss Nettie Williams. Harrv Wentz and others are worthy of especial mention. Mrs. Geue vieye Mays has some excellent photographs on exhibition, which for fiuisli aud concep tion of position bespeak culture aud true artistic taste. The art gallery should bo Visited by all our citizens, as, aside from the work of our own artists there are some of the choicest copies of the old masters. and some very excellent steel engravings and prints of ceiebrated etchings. One, the Maltr Dolorosa, a print from the private) collection of Rev.. Mr. Sutcliile, is well wotth considerable study. We believe the original is bv Murrillo. the great Spanish artist, and the exDression he gives tne fao the classic outlines ot features, anu tue liuht anil shade, are something wonderful A common print of the Defense of Hoke's Lodge in Zululaud, is grand, inspiriting and will thrill auv one who studies it for the shortest anace. This is one of the scenes in which the Anglo-Saxons have immortalized themselves by their indomitable courage. and one cannot look at the picture without fftplinrr in his inmost heart a reflection of that unexampled brayery wnicn ammaicu his ancestors at Agincourt, Badaioes, Witerlm.

Poor old man, how bad he must feel, as he has no sympathy here and all are wishing he will soon go, bnt I think there are worse men than Her sey. But others disagree with me. You should see how those Norwegians jump to get a chance to carry Reed's trunks; but tbey would not condescend to help carry coffin of a poor Swedish girl who died few days ago, and some of our generous hearted Irish citizens volunteered and car ried the coffin home, while tbe Norwegians packed Reed's trunks to his house and kissed the hem of his varments.

Editor Tutxs-lfoosTaiHua: By observations regarding the growth of towns surrounding us, I find that there is a certain cause which creates this result. We, with bountiful and pretty surround ings, had this past summer a good and sub stantial growth in some respects, caused by a few energetic citizens taking their money (which they made here) and building fine business blocks,planting large orcliards.etc. With pleasure I can say that we kept pace with most of our sister towns. But ft is necessary to continue this prosperous growth in order to retain the lead we have of rival cities. It is not ' denied that we have equal, in fact, superior inducements for immigration. All that ia required is to attract their attention to us. My dear friends and citizens, right here. let me impress on you that the cause of those cities growing so rapidly is. that a united, good and enterprising feeling is ex tended towards those intending to locate among them. Although towns of small population, but possessed of a laudable am bition toward getting people interested in their welfare, financially and socially,which haye heretofore been wanting in our com munity sufficiently to cause tbe main stream of west ward-bouud settlers to come and stay. Build up new and promising homes. which receive the admiration of thousands who came to onr state the last few veara. aud yon will realize an equal and satis factory benefit ot your investment to induce pie to come to The Dalles. Wc who ave lived at The Dalles for veara. should build up a city second to none on the Pa cific coast, as we possess the facilities and advantages, and then invite those with suf ficient means to come and build new homes and follow profitable business vocations. They would be willing to exchange their blizzard swept wis tea for this land ' of abundance. Therefore I suggest that an Immigration Bureau be established for the above mentioned purposes, and to stimulate toe growth of a steady and industrious population in onr magnificent climate, and that we extend the hand of welcome to all who may come. ' H. A. Obituary. Mrs. Annie Fitz Gerald nee Powers- died in this city last Saturday, aged 27 . . .1 , n i r 1 , veara and six montns. airs, ritzueraiu was born in county Wexford, Ireland, and came to this country in 18S3. About four veara ago she was married to Mr. Maurice FitzGerald, and is the mother of one child. This young woman was most exemplary in all the walks of life. Possessed of all the eminent virtues of Christian life, there was a sunshine in her conduct which shed its radiance over all with whom she associated, aiie was a Christian lady in toe fullest sense of the term, and loved all those with whom she associated. Her only object in living was in making the world better, and in after years when her remaius will have mingled with the dust of the earch, cr loving acts will be remembered bv her associates and acquaintances. As a wife siie was most excellent, as a mother very affectionate, as a relative loving and considerate, aud as a companion most con siderate aud conscientious. We cannot un derstand why such a person should be re moved, but the plaus of God are beyond joinnrebecsion. and we can only bow with subn"'"'iou to Him who doeth all things we -ace heavenly peace to her ashes, -. relatives and friends who are let t ......... her loss attempt to emulate those .. :tt- which she exhibited aud which 17 iyen nearer to all mortals and bind fellowship of benevolence to the .oe. .ue knew her but to love her, JNoue loved ber but to praise J.

Editor Timics-Moustaisiig: Yesttrday was Thanksgiving, and every body seemed to enjoy themselves according to the dictates of their own consciences, which is a glorious God-given privilege that we may worship Gid and no man dare mo lest or make us afraid. Work was sus pended 011 the locks and the government Hag floated ou the breezes. There are butjtow meu v. or king on the locks, and they seem to be busily engaged heaping rocks on the bulkhead at tbe lower end of the ciual, eo that it will withstand next June's freshet. Also they have a huge rock ou the incline that is used for hand ling material witii the endless chain. I think the plant is pretty well secured to withstand the June high water. I learned to-day that there is plenty of rock withia three miles of here that is superior to the Spnkaue granite. There is enough of it wihin four miles of the locks to wall the Columbia river to the Lower Cascades, six milss distant. The rock is described as of a lava formation, of the tertiary epoch, and is pretty generally distributed throughout this country. It is indisputable evidence that at one time vast volcanoes roared their dire vengeance in this region and poured their molten wrath upon the recioient soil. This rock is easily dressed, aud workmen may have to handle many detached frag ments; but this would be convenient for rilling in and bracing no the walls. The old Ruckle's landing at the upper end of the canal, which was used successfully for years, may be improved by the nse of this rock, which is easy to handle. When the contractors. Ball and Pratt, commenced ex cavating the canal, they piled a huge lot of boulders and rocks on the bedrock at the lower end of the locks, which laid there and withstood the swift water for years. Thev answer for a good salmon lead to-day, and the idea has suggested itself to me that the same kind of material might be used to im prove the landing or entrance at the nouer end of the canal.

V ben a district has forfeited its school money no recourse whatever shall be bad to obtain tse same. The Result of the Fair. Many times it has been asked, How much has the Catholic fair realized? Some guessed enormously high figure, while the esti mate of others was too low. Now that all principal returns ot receipts are in, and mostly all expenses paid, 1 make the fol lowing statement to all concerned: Mrs. T. Baldwin's table. No 1. $943.90- Mrs.. P. J. Nichols, No. 2. $1145: Miss . FitzGerald'a, No. 3, $277-50; anpper table, $100; door receipts, S201.95. Total. S2.- 067,75; expenses, (133,75. Balance re ceipts, $2534. So then our fair has been a success a grand success. Wherever it is known our town will he admired for its lib erality, and for its confidence in itself. For what city of its size would, in the only hard year the country has had in the memory of man, speed so freely money foi the construe tinn of a church. I also avail myself of this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to all for the generous support they have given our fair. An especial claim on our gratitude have Mr. Mux Vogt ami Airs. Chapman who gener ously attended to hall expenses. I owe especial thanks to our merchants who gave so liberal donations, and to Mrs. T. Bald win, Mrs. P. J. Nichols. Miss E. FitzGer ald as managers of the tables, and for their most laitbtut helpers, and to the ladies who undertook the difficult task of runoiug the diuing room. I extend the sentiments of my gratitudo to all those who did any work in connection with the fair for having done their work well and at most liberal rates. My thanks are not of much weitrht. but I sincerely hope that God will bless all who nave helped na in this work. Ks8pcctfully, A. Bboneoesst. Art Exhibitions.

Oregon, AKD ; Leading Eenublican Pauer tern Oregon USEFUL IXFOKMATIOX. Tilbury Fox, M. D., the eminent medical wrt ter, in bis work "Slciu Diseases," thus accounti for the pimples so common on tha face and neck. Eating too rich or too greasy food, or too heart) eating while the excretory organs are sluggish, causa in most people indigestion or a dyspepsia! condition, which causes tbo blood to move slug gi&hly, which in turn enfeebles the pores. The resilt is, that the exuding secretions block in ths pores, which inflame, each distinct inflamma tion being a pimple. Sr. Fox therefore dool not proscribe "blood purifiers" so called, bnt a dspepsia euro" to be taken, to use his own words "till tlit dytpeptial symptom have disap peared." The old idea was, that face oruptloni were caused by a "humor in the blood," foi which they trea4d the blood, giving the mineral potash. Hence the reason why tho older sarsa- parlllas contain potash. Joy's Vegetable Sana parilla follows the modem ideas o' Dr. Fox, and aims with rentle vegetable alteratives at the stomach and digestive org ttis. Tb reason is ap parent why it cures dyspepsia and indigestion, and the pimples and skin eruption which result therefrom, and why sarsapariilas tat use min erals foil.
