OBEGOVS BARD.
Joaquin
Miller Visits the Scenes of
His
Childhood.
When the train stopped in front of
the Umatilla House at noon Monday
there alighted therefrom a man whose
face is familiar to ull Oregonians. It
was Joaquin Miller, the poet, who had
not visited The Dailes for many years,
still he met many old acquaintances
xho were ready with outstretched
bands to welcome him to the city. Mr.
Miller's first visit t Tbe Dalles was In
1852, when he landed here a boy with
his parents, after an arduous journey
across the plains. Little be, dreamed
then that his name would someday be
come familiar to all English-speaking
tongues, and that his verse would be
read and admired by the literary
world. But such is the case. The
wayward and untutored boy, the reck
less and darring youth, who was once
the equal of tne most darring fron
tiersmen in early mining days, has
grown into the accomplished poet and
man of letters, one whom Oregon may
well be proud of, and he in turn is
proud of the state in which his' child
hood days and early manhood were
spent.
To a representative of the Times
MOUNTAtNEEB Mr. Miller declared
that he was more of an Oregonlan
than anything else : that while circum
stances required that he should claim
California as his home, Oregon still
was more dear to him than any other
spot on earth. He said he had traveled
twice around the globe; that he had
seen every clime and t'-ery people in
the world, and no spot in the entire
universe had more attractions to him
than Oregon. Its climate is the most
attractive; its resources the most
varied, and its people the most con.
genial of any he ever knew, said the
poet, and for this reason he loved
Oregon, and even though he might
never again claim it as his home, it
would ever have a warm place in his
affections. '
After enjoying the hospitality of
Col. Sinnott at the Umatilla house
and spending a short time with his
brother, James H., who resides in
Crook county, the poet left on the
afternoon train for Portland to be
present at the meeting of the Oregon
Pioneers' Association before whom he
delivered an address' on Tuesday.
Worth Contesting For.
There . are on exhibition at Van
Norden's jewelry store two elegant
medals that are offered by the officers
of the Third batallon O. N. G. as
prizes for the first and second best in
dividual scores made at rifle practice
during the coining encampment of the
battalion at Hood Riyer. The medal
for the first prize is of solid gold, and
on the top bar is Inscribed 'Third Bit.
Infantry, "O. N. G. while.underneath
the bar are two rifles crossed behind a
bulls-eye target. The second priz? is
of the same model, excepting that it is
made of silver with gold rifles. The
medals are certainly worth contesting
for, and will no-doubt be the source of
considerable rivalry among the crack
marksmen of the different companies
in the battalion.
The Dallri and Wool.
Last year more ool was shipped
from The Dalles than from any other
one point in the United States, and
this season there will be about a mil
lion more pounds handled here than
ever before. Wool is coming here
this season from almost the re
motest parts of Eastern Oregon, and
large quantities are coming from
paints in Washington that heretofore
was hauled to the Northern Pacific for
shipment. There are two reasons for
this. The warehouse facilities here
are better than at any other point on
the Pacific coast, and the competing
transportaMoo lines make it possible
to obtain better freight rates from The
Dalles than from any other point east
of the Cascade mountains. So long as
these conditions exist The Dalles
will remain the largest wool market,
where wool is sold direct from the pro
ducer to the manufacturer, in tLe
United States.

At the Thrvter,
A Difficult Play Well Rendered by Home
TIeut.
It was an appreciative audience in
deed that greeted the home troup at
the Vogt Grand Friday night to.titness
the rendering of "Past Redemptior."
Considering the short time alloted for
preparation and the fa :t that th'u was
the first appearanca of a majority of
the troup on the stage, the pl iy was
exceptionally well rendered, and re
sected much credit upon Prof. Travis.
He is not only an actor of ability, but
possesses marked talent in arranging
casts and bringing amateurs up to a
degree of perfection equaling profes
sional actors. He also displaves much
t:ilent as a character actor, being al le
to assume two roles in the same play,
perf"ctly losing his owu individuality
in each character.
"Past Redemption" is a most diffi
cult play for amateurs, as almost every
character is a leading one, requiring
the closest application on tha part of
every actor, yet there was not an error
in the entire rendition either in stage
effect or recitation. ' To attempt to
say who among the m my in the play
did best would be an impossibility,
for every one took his or her part with
such ease and trace that no one did
better than another, hence sufflse to
say that "Past Redemption" was ren:
dered in The D illes better than it was
ever before presented by an amateur
troup. It was a perfect success, and
all who attended felt that they had
been most apreeahly entertained.
