NOTES FROM DIFIR.
Business Changes In That City -Holiday j
Festivities Cnder Way.
DUFUR, Dec. 7, 1895
Editor TlMES-MOtTNTAINEEK:
is
Thepast week or two in this vicinity
has been a busy time involving many
changes. Among these we note, that
is
A. J. Dufur. who for many years
been an obliging landlord in the Fif
teen-mile house, has rented the same
to Stephens & Howie, and moved
across the way where bis father previ
ously resided. Mr. Howie seeking
helper found one In the person of Miss
Kate Heisler, and, as has been an
nounced, they were married, ana
are
now happy to meet their many friends
and the traveling public at the Fifteen
mile house in Dufur, Oregon.
Only a short time ago Mr. Roth,
(commonly called John Rhodes) of
Kingsley, took possession of the Cen
tral hotel here. So that all things per
taining to hotels start off on a new
lay out.
Rev. Cowden, of the Christian
church, has been holding evening
meetings here for the past two weeks.
As an earnest, logical sneaker he has
few superiors, and no doubt will do
much good whether it is immediately
apparent or not.
Henry, or as he Is more commonly
called "Hank, Johnston Is with us
again, after an absence oi several
months, looking as hearty as health
itself.
Dr. Dietrich has moved down to his
new town, where he has built a house.
Father Menefee met with a fall some
days ago that has confined him to his
room. He is much better and hopes to
be about in a few days.
Willis Hendrix is out again after a
long confinement with bilious or inter
mittent fever. He looks long and thin
but rejoices that the rebellion of his
stomach has been subdued, and that
the good things of Christmas time are
near.
The Dufur school for the present
year has enrolled 1J0 pupils which
makes it about as full as it ever gets.
The pupils of the higher department
are preparing lor an exhibition to oe
given on Saturday evening, Dec. 28.
The exercises will consist of dialogues,
farces, etc.', most of which is intended
to amuse. The three leading pieces
are, "Betsy Baker," a roaring farce,
combining love, jealousy and the usual
misunderstandings and entanglements;
"Which Will He Marry," a comedy of
mistakes, ready attachments and fe
male vindictiveness, (old bachelors
should travel many miles to see this
play) and "Our Awful Aunt," a short
temperance drama, full of fun and
very sprightly. . It is possible that
there will be' a contest for a prize on
mimicry, personation of passions, char
acterizations of persons, etc. The pro
ceeds of the exhibition are to pay for
school furniture already in the school
Admission, 25 cents. Q.
f-4 NIGHT OFF"
The Interesting Play Well Rendered
tbe Borne Club.
by
The comedy given by the Home Dra
matic Club at the Baldwin was one of
the most interesting ever rendered
either by home players or professionals
in this city, and the appreciation of
home talent was evidenced by every
seat in the large opera house being
filled at an early hour. Hardly bad
the orchestra finished tbe march
VSemper Fidilis," which, is indeed
one of Sousa's grandest productions,
when the curtain raised, displaying an
elegantly furnished parlor, the home
of Prof. Babbitt, the muchly hen
pecked husband, who has a weakness
for play writing and prevaricating.
The plot was very prettily and- fantas
tically arranged, full of surprises and
untimely discoveries that terminate
disastrously to the professor, his er
ring son-in-law, Dr. Damask, and Mor-cus-Brutus
Snap, the adventurer.
The parts were all well taken, and
the members of the club lost none of
the laurels they have won in the past
Mr. Lonsdale, as Justinian Babbitt
was a personification of meekness, es
pecially when.- his vigorous wife .Zan.
tippe was about; and in. turn Mrs.
Blakeley,' aa Zantlppe, with perfect
ease asserted her sway over the pro
fessor and Dr. Damask, her wayward
son-in-law; a character ably taken by
Mr. R. B. Sinnott, and her daughter,
the doctor's wife, a role taken by Miss
Myrtle MIchell, who very happily rep
resented a confiding bride, though too
inquisitive regarding the early life of
her husband. In the role of Marcus
Brutus Snap, the tragedian and adven
turer in search of. fortune, Mr. N. J.
Sinnott was great, while Mr. John
Hampshire, as Jack Mulbery, the gay
young actor", was a difficult character
well taken. Miss Rose Michell, in the
character of Nisbe, youngest daughter
of the professwr, did exceedingly well,
especially in the fainting scene and in
winning tbe affections of Jack and his
father, Lord Mulbery, represented by
Mr. F. W. Wilson, who a9 a grand old
man and forgiving parent, appeared
every inch an actor. But the most in
teresting character was that taken by
Mrs. A. Varney, Susan, the inquisitive
servant, always in trouble hersejf and
bringing others Into difficulty.
Throughout the entire play the acting
was perfect, and brought forth hearty
and frequent applause. .
ON A SOLID FOUNDATION.
Permanent Organization of the Commcr
' cial and Athletic Club Effected.
When President Schenck called tbe
club meeting together at the council
chambers Tuesday night, the executive
committee reported having enrolled
something over 100 membersand made
satisfactory collections, Nothing more
remained to be done to effect perma
nent organization than to name the
club, and by an almost unanimous vote
it was christened Tbe Dalles Commer
cial and Athletic Club.
This organization starts off under
most favorable circumstances, such as
to insure Its success and permanency.
There is no lack of enthusiasm either,
on the part of officers or membeps, all
displaying a disposition to exert their
energies to further the interests for
which the club is organize, to pro
mote social, physical and financial de
velopment, and being composed of the
leading business men of the city as
well as the best element among- tbe
J'oung men of The Dalles, there la no
imit to the results It may accomplish.
It's the Fashion.
So accustomed have people become
to crying "hard times" that they will
do so regardless of the briskness of
business. This Is pretty well illus
trated by the following from the Ore
gon ian:
"The commission men on Front
street yesterday were, as usual, oqm
plalnlng of dull times, but all the same
they had the sidewalks so piled up
wih boxes gf apples, oranges, lemons,

obstructed by express wagons and the
street was blocked by .trucks deliver
ing a carload or two of bananas from
Blue fields. Judging from the appear
ance of things, the commission house
section was the busiest place in the
city; but it is fashionable to talk of
dull times now."
KINGSLEY BBIEFS.
General Activity Beported lu and About
KlnffBley.
We are having fine weather and
many of our farmers are plowing, the
recent snow having made the ground
sufficiently moist. ,
Hugh Morehead and family have
moved to Dufur, an 3 will make that
place their future home. Mr. More-
head has been foreman of the Robt.
Kelly ranch for the past three years,
and leaves many friends in and around
Kingsley.
. J. P. Ward has been suffering from
au overdose of neuralgia for tbe past
week.
. We understand Thos. Bolton, who
has been fighting a stubborn attack of
rheumatism for some time past, is
slowly recovering. - . .
And now the prairie chickens, real
izing that it is against the law to kill
them, come right into town; sit on the
front gate, and spitefully sing that old
familiar hymn found oh page 2, Oregon
State Game Laws, entitled "There's a
lock on the chicken house door," or
words to that effect. Kingsley has
been "full of 'em" the past week. ;.
Mrs. C, Phillips, - usually called
Grandma Phillips, has been very slok
the past month with bronchitis. But
little hopes are entertained for her re
covery. Grandma has resided In and
adjacent to Kingsley for 23 years, and
her friends are numbered by the score,
who all hope for her ultimate recovery.
Her granddaughters, Misses Mary and
Lizzie Cox, are waiting on her, and
are proving themselves to be accep
tionally good nurses.
We learn that Waris Hlx, who went
from this place to the hospital at Port
land, is getting along fine, and is ex
pected home about Christmas. His
family have moved onto the Robt.
Kelly farm.
W. H. Butts, of The Dalles, was
shaking hands with hia many friends
in Kingsley this week..
The young ladles of Kingsley have
at last discovered a positive cure for
pimples and the removal of freckles
and tan. Judging from the looks of
their usually pretty faces, what they
now need is some lotion that will grow
the "bide back on." ...
There is some talk of organizing a
literary society in Kingsley. Keep
the ball roiling. We must have some
place to go this winter, , Knabf.
A Dry Day In Astoria.
Astoria held a city election Wednes
day, and the law requiring saloons
closed on election day was strictly en
forced, says the Astorian:
"For the first time in the history of
Astoria on election day not a drop of
any kind of liquor could be purchased
yesterday . anywhere in. the city.
Through the commendable action of
the Liquor Dealers' Association, every
saloon, back and front doors, hotel bar
rooms, restaurants, drug stores, grocer
ies, and the clubs, were absolutely and
tightly closed to all customers. An
election day without the Influence of
the bottle, and without the sight of
gangs of half Intoxicated .men and
ward heelers is a novelty in Oregon
and an unheard of thing in Astoria,
It was hard to find a man, on the streets
yesterday with even a sign on his face
of having met with any one's over
coat bottle."
The Laat Ball of I89S
Although the grand ball tp be given
by Columbia Hose Co. Nq. 2 on the
Light of December 31, is to be the last
one this year, this does not indicate
that it will be the least attractive; in
fact it is expected that this will be the
best ball of the season, at least it is
the intention of the members of the
company to make it such. Elaborate
preparations are already being made.
The opera house will be elegantly deo
orated, handsome programmes will be
prepared, and the Orchestra Union
will furnish the music, Neither time
nor expense will be spared to make
this one of the greatest social events
of the winter
Bncklen's Arnica Salve.

bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever
sores, tetter, chapped hands, chil

IMPRESSIONS OF TBE DALLES. .
What An Australian Jonrnallat' Thinks of
This City. ;
" O. would some Dower the elf lie ile us '
To see ourselves as others see us."
So said the Scotish poet. Had he'
ever paid a visit-to The Dalles he would
not have added the next line "It would
frae mouy a blunder free usJ' The
Dalles has not many blunders about,
ana tnougb I could hnd some slight
errors, I should simply point them out
in the same spirit as does the phrenolo
gist te the patron who anxiously says,
' tell me of my faults as well as of iny.
virtues. The faults of The Dalles are
few, its virtues many. With . a free
library, a little moi e light at night, to
stay the breaking of. the main street
into two distinct divisions, pieasantor
crossings, and a little more devotion
to the improvement of garden patches
in front of the residences of rich and I
poor alike, The Dalles would, in iny
opinion, be simply perfect.
It will be a long time-before the
grandeur of the scenery, seen on . the
trip from Portland to The Dalles by
the noble Columbia, fades from . my
Australian mind. Not in New Zealand,
the land of grand and sublime scenery,
can anything in nature be found to
surpass, and but feebly approach It,
and tourist "and health seeker miss
much who miss this locality in their
travels. The city itself iooses nothing
in the effect it awakens in the mind
made expectant - by the noble;: soul
stirring passage through nature's ex
alted mountains. " '' ; JT'
Small It may be, but a"stf"offg, hrifty,
progressive child of commerce art
tbou, The Dalles, rocked in a; hobIe
cradle, rich soil, pure waters, and fresh
air thy birthright. The' handwork of
man here is pleasing and substantial.
The commodious, lofty, well filled and
well kept shops carry with them-ah' air
of prosperity, and the fastidious 'sensi
tive eye is not wounded by tne "eye
sore " to let " on every other house and
shop which greets a visitor perpetually
in and around San Francisco and Port
land, " ' '
For commercial push the people of
this city strike me as being worthy of
much praise, and the despondent', ever
lasting depressing song of "bad times"
is not heard here. As much a stu
dent of human nature as an inquisitive
penman, I should say that the residents
of this city impress me, with; one ex
ception, as being genial, happy and
healthy, so much -so that I am' sure
few persons could reside here for any
length of time without experiencing a
deep feeling of regret when, compelled
to leave. The one exception, I may
say, is a gentleman who! Ironically de
sired me to go and purchase an um
brella, to save my skull, I presume.
Now I am madecourageous by knowl
edge of the safety which distance from
that one exception gives me I would
remind him, though perhaps a little
late, that my skull Is not so soft' as to
require protection from V little soft
water. . J: .
That The Dalles has a bright future
before it, it is easy and safe U predict;
and I venture to say that much inter
est will be taken in the more solid
record of its resources which I have
sent abroad through the press,.., It may
have its drawbacks, but they, are noth
ing compared to its advantages, and
whether the visitor judges Jt by. Us.'
scenic, commercial,, social, or health.
giving yalue he can but come to this
conclusion that "The Dalies is a most
favored spot, once seen by he eye, by
the mind nee forgot." . ,' a" '

little blood, and
what there is, . is
carried off - from
the gastric organs
to the muscles.
What is needed
is plenty of blood,
and that .of the
rieht kind. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes
pure, rich blood, and to gain in blood is
nearly always to gain in Uholesome ficsk up
to the healthy standard.
Every one should have certain surplus
of flesh to meet the emergencies of sick
ness ; to resist the attack of consumption,
grip, malaria and fevers. Thin blooded
people are always getting sick, and none of
tbe organs of the body can get along with
out the food they require for work, which is,
pure blood. To gain and to keep strength
and flesh is the secret of health, usefulness
and happiness. With new blood and re
freshed nerves a confident feeling of return
ing health comes also.
Nervous manifestations, such as sleep,
lessness, nervous debility and nervous
prostration are in nine cases out often "the
cry of the starved nerves for food." If you
feed the nerves on pure rich blood the
nervous symptoms will cease. It is had
practice to put the nerves to sloeji with so
called celery mixtures, CQC. Compounds or
malt extracts: wfeat is eteded is a blood
maker. The ' Dis5very " is composed of
vegetable ingredients which have an ea
Peaa enect upon the stomach, liver, and
ulpod making glands. For the cure of
dyspepsia, indigestion, liver complaint,
weakened vitality, and for puny, pale peo
ple, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery cannot be equaled. Thousands hava
