This is the closing night at the
Catholic fair. It is expected the at-
ndance will be very large, ana a
special effort will be made to entertain
everybody who attends. -
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Moody re
turned last night from Salem, where
they had been attending a family re
union at the home of Mr. Moody's
parents on Thansgiving day.
James Calhoun's store at Richland,
. Eagle Valley, Baker county, was held
up by two masked men, who, at the
point of revolvers, forced the proprie
tor to turn oyer $200. The robbers es
caped. Yesterday afternoon the children of
the Misses Taylor's kindergarten
school amused themselves by illustrat
ing a Thanksgiving story in the sand,
. and closed the day's work with a candy
pulling.
There are two vacancies in the Ore
gon legislature .caused by the death of
Hons. J. H. Kruse. people's and Dr. 1.
J. Lee, democrat. Hence in case of a
. special session elections will have to
be held to select their successors.
"Winter is certainly upon us, and
e who have not a supply of wood in
basements or wood houses are
luck, for artificial heat will be
:a IO Keep out
the cold for the
next few weeks.
Encouraging reports come from all
parts of the county concerning crop
prospects. The recent rains have put
the ground in fine condition for plow-
ing, and has started grain that was
- sown on summer fallow growing.
Two ex-policemen and one ex-street
commissioner of Baker City have run
afoul" the law. for having extorted
taxes from Japanese. One, E. M. Wis
tiom, has been convicted, J. L. Ash is
on trial, and W. L. Nichols has been
' indioted.
Mrs. Josephine H. Henry of Ver
sailles. Kv.. announces that she will
be a candidate for president in 1900 on
the prohibition ticket. Kentucky is
not a very promising state for a pro
hibition candidate to spring from,
Aand Mrs. Henry can hardly expect to
get a very big vote at home.
Just before noon today Marshal
Lauer made a good haul, rounding in
four hobos who have been begging on
the streets and filling up on whisky
whenever they oould get a few dimes
The quartet' is a hard set, but will
probably be more dicile after serving
. a few days working on the Btreets.
After traveling over the western
part of the state and not finding the
crop of t20 pieces ready to pick, the
fake auction merchants who were here
a month ago have returned, and are of
fering "bargains" as of yore. Of
course they will be patronized, for the
: American people enjoy being bilked,
and would buy.
Mrs. W. H. Colwell, of Arlington,
died from the shock of a surgical oper
ation at St. Vincent's hospital Wed
nesday. The operation was performed
Monday and a tumor weighing 16
pounds removed, but she did not
possess the strength to survive the
shock. Her remains were taken to
Arlington for interment.
The circuit court room today pre
sented a dull appearance, only the
judge, jury, bailiffs, attorneys and a
few spectators being present. The
It
Vs
N
- - case on trial was Cederson tb, the O.
A. & N. Co , and was conSned to dull

' bled to listen to the dry propositions
of law that were submitted.
The weather forecast of Word and
Works for December, indicates severe
storms about the first of the month
and continuing to the 6th, when warm
er weather will prevail until from the
10th to the 15th. After that extreme
cold may be expected until the Iaai of
the month. From the 21st to the 25th
' very severe storms and cold weather is
predicted.
- Despite the deficiency that appears
" each month in the national treasury,
Uncle Sam continues to send luxuries
to the Indians in the different reserva
tions. The latest bit of extravagance
noted in this line H a shipment of
"three dosen large rochester lamps to
the Warm Springs agency. The next
thing expected is an invoice of pianos
' and parlor sets for Mr. and Mrs. Lo.
-. A gentleman in Chicago has heard
of the great number of horses in Ore
gon, and wants some one to give him
about 1000 head and gather them for
him. Notwithstanding the fact that
horses are plentiful and are a drug on
the market, there are none to be given
away. If horse raisers cannot find a
market elsewhere for their animals,
they can sell them to the Linn ton can
nery where they will be converted into
"corn beef.''
The Portland Welcome is bard to
please. Recently it advised the wear
ing of short skirts on the Btreets dur
ing rainy days, and because a few
ladies took its advice ana wore short
skirts it says: One extreme is about
as bad as the other, and there is no
more occasion to . wear skirts that
reach only down half-way from knees
to ankles than to wear them trailing
in thefaud and filth. Bat extremes
seem to be the necessary thing in
woman's apparel.'
Condon has a mess of young hood
lums who need chastising. The Globe
says: "I' pretty generally under
stood that some of the hoodlums who
are everlastingly troubling public
meetings in thie burg by tying ropes
across the church house door, thereby
throwing the preacher down, etc.,
were caught at their deviltry last week
.and their names will be taken before
the next grand jury. Some youngsters
of this place took to the woods to es
cape the action of the grand jury the
last term of court, but if they are
really wanted they can easily be found.
There are times when forbearaace
ceases to be a virtue."
W. A. Sisson, acting for Receiver
Aitkine, of the Steel & Adams ranch,
in Malheur county, has sold to P. G.
Cooper, of Crawford, Neb., 1000 head
of horses at satisfactory prices. The
animals are now being gathered for
shipment to Nebraska. Most of them
will be used for government purposes.
This is the largest transaction in the
horse market that has taken place in
Oregon for many years. The animals
are a mixed lot and will compare with
any range horses in the state.

Last night Billy McCoy's residence
on the bluff was the scene of quite a
commotion. Mr. McCoy is a brake
man on the O. R. & N. line, and came
home a little earlier than he wan ex
pected last night. He entered the
house through the kitchen, and hear
ing a number of voices in the parlor,
realized that the ladies of the house
hold were entertaining some lady
friends, so not wishing to disturb them,
passed out to an out building. But he
did disturb them pretty badly. They
heard the kitchen door open and close,
and knew there was a burglar in the
house. They soon located the in
truder and calling in several neighbors
made a raid on the bold, bad man, to
find that it was only Billy.
A peculiar and rather serious acci
dent happened to the Spokane flyer as
it came up from Portland last evening.
Peter Harris, the colored cook on the
dining car, had just put fires in his
stoves before the train passed Viento
when all of a sudden the steam heater
in the rear of the car exploded, blow
ing off nearly all the rear end of the
car. Harris was standing about six
feet from the heater, and to use his
expression, "when the thing busted it
hit him all over." He was badly
bruised about the head and shoulders
and his right band was mangled by the
flying iron. He was also badly scalded
by the escaping steam, though when
taken to the Umatilla house his attend'
ing physician, Dr. Logan, found his
wounds were not dangerous. The pas
sengers in the car received a severe
shock, but none of them were injured

night.
Mask balls are the rage in other
sections just now. Wy not have one
in The Dalies?
A cbinook wind is reported to be
blowing on the high country, and is
cutting the snow off of exposed locali
ties. Rev. J. H. Wood went to Hood River
today to assist Key. F. Spaulding in
conducting a series of religious meet
ings at that place.
Mrs. Moses Pike died at Goldendale
laBt Sunday, aged 84 years. She leaves
two children, CpJ. E. W. Pike, of Gol
dendale, and Mrs. J. W. Gay, of Crow
ley. Or.
Wheat at 72 cents a bushel is rather
attractive to some of those who were
holding for a dollar, and several good
sales are reported having been made
the past few days.
A wave of prosperity has struck the
Dufur Dispatch, it haying been en
larged to a seven column paper. Dufur
is indeed a lively little town, and has
a bright local paper to keep it before
the public.
A squaw, who is supposed to have
passed the century mark long ago, died
at Klamath Falls recently. She was a
relative of Link River Jack, chief of the
Klamaths at the time of the first settle
ment of Eastern Oregon.
This is one of those days which
makes people fall in love with Eastern
Oregon climate. Yesterday was cold
aud blustry. while today the sky was
clear, the aun shone put bright and
warm like a spring morning.
. Parties who came down on the train
from Spokane this-.morniog state that
the sqow storm of Sunday night
reached far up into Washington and
Eastern Oregon, and that there were
six inches of snow at Spokane last
night.
Ernest Jensen has again been exert
ing his skill at decorating the windows
at A. M. Williams & Go's, store. His
latest effort is a reproduction of the
Whitmen monument constructed of
blankets and flannels.' The work is
indeed artistic.
A number of mules have been
bought in Klamath and Lake counties
this season, and there are still several
buyers in the field. A. drove of 125
young mules was bought la that sec
tion recently by Mr. Job, and were
shipped East from Huntington.
The snow that fell Sunday night was
of the kind that refuses to he still
when there is an opportunity for it to
roll. It persisted in sliding down hill
wherever riven an opportunity and
filled up cuts on the railroad between
here and Portland, soma places to the
depth of six feet. A heavy drift oc i
curred near Bonneville, and it was
necessary to bring a rotary plow from
Albina to clear the track. The rotary
escorted No. 4 to The Dalles, arriving
here at 11 o'clock last night.

No more favorable weather for mak
ing crops could be asked for than at
present prevails in Eastern Oregon.
The grain fields are covered with from
two to six inches of snow, the ground
is thoroughly moist, and there has
been no frost to speak of, so grain will
grow right along under the snow.
A move is on foot to erect a flouring
mill at Weston with a capacity of 75
barrels a day. The projectors of the
scheme ask $1,500 bonus, which cer
tainly ought to. be raised by that en
terpridig town. Weston has had two
flouring mills, both of which have
been destroyed by fire, and the people
of the town know the benefits to arise
from such enterprises.
Dog fanciers and people who don't
know anything about dogs have been
entertained today-whenever they called
at the Sheriff's office, by being shown
one of the finest pieces of dog flesh on
the coast. The animal is a through
bred LIuelling setter belonging to
Major Robe, of Vancouver, and was
sent up to Deputy Sheriff Kelly on the
Regulator last night.
This morning Sheriff Driver left for
Salem having in charge E. Simmons,
who was sentenced to four years in the
penitentiary, having been convicted of
high way robbery. Simmons protested
to the last that he was innocent, and
before leaving The Dalles told thie
authorities that before bis term ex
pired he hoped to be able to prove that
he was not conne:ted with Brown and
Wilson in the robbery for which he
was convicted.

HYPNOTISM.
The Marvelous McEwen Will Startle TJs at
the Opera Hosse.
The engagement in this city of Mc
Ewen, the famous Scottish mind read
er and hypnotist, which commences on
Dec. 6th, for one week, will prove the
most interesting and amusing attrac
tion that has been here for many a day.
McEwen's explanation of what hyp
notism really is, is masterful and con
vincing and proves him to be a man of
wonderful perception and ability to
make the most diligent researches. He
will unveil and so clearly explain hyp
notism that all can readily comprehend
and then with a class of local subjects
introduce his most laughable tests.
His entertainments are the most amus
ing, yet at the same time most refined,
differing from any exhibitions of like
nature ever presented here.

LVKA IS BOOMING.
One Thousand Bonnes Built There This
Fall Money la Plentiful and Busi
ness Good. -
Dyea. Alaska, Nov. 12, 1897.
Ed. Times-Mocktaineeb:
As I promised to write from this
iced country, and give you the facts as
I found tham. will endeavor to do so
and furnish some news' that may be of
interest to your readers.
We landed hero September 6th,
pitched our tent on the tide fiats half a
mile below Healy & Wilson's trading
post. There were then only three
tents and one.log cabin on the flat.
Next day W. O. Stilt, of Portland,
started to build a restaurant and
Charles Phelps, of California, began
building a saloon. Three days later
the rush began. Everybody wanted to
take up lots and build houses as fast as
lumber could be brought in from
Skagway and Junea. The poorest kind
of rough lumber sold readily for $30 a
thousand. Now we have over 1000
houses including those under con
struction. There are still about 500
tents, but they will be replaced by
houses as fast as possible.
Ihe prospects are there will bo
plenty of lumber fer building purposes
soon, as Young Bros., of Junea, are
loading half a million feet at Bummer's
bay for this place, and the Dyea Lum
ber Co. has sent a man to the sound to
buy a million feet. There was a scow
lo:id of lumber towed into harbor last
night, and the tide had no more than
left the barge than there was a dozen
teams there ready to haul it away. It
was all sold long before it reached the
harbor.
The world has never seen such a
boom as there is here bow, and what
it will be in two or three months, when
the rush to the Yukon begins, is hard
imagine.
I had first choice in staking out a lot
on this section of the flat, and secured
a good one. Two weeks ago I offered
to sell it for $250, and yesterday was of
fered S500 for it by E. T. Casey, a Los
Angeles real estate man, who has
opened an office and doing a good busi
ness. This is only a fair sample of the
way property is going up. I would not
be surprised to see lots in Dyea Belling
at $5000 each before spring.
Dyea is the coming town of the North.
Skagway is doomed. A few real es.
tale men there and the Skagway News
send out all kinds of reports as to the
dangers of the White pass, and tell
how cheaply a wagon road or tramway
can be put across from Skagway, but
they ars not putting any mouey into
the scheme. Chilcoot is by far the
best trail, and is only 31 miles across,
while the Skagway trail is 46 miles.
There is still some packing done
across the Chilcoot pass, but the snow
is interfering considerably, being
about six feet on the summit.
Yesterday was a lovely day, but last
night it turned cold and everything
froze up. Today is bitter cold and
the wind is blowing hard. Old timers
say winter has set in. In consequence
everybody is busy trying to get housed,
and one can hear the sound of saw and
hammer day and night.
Every one who has his bouse up and
doing business is making money and
making it fast. Supplies for saloons,
gambling dens, bunk houses and out
fitting stores are coming in almost
daily, and an idea of what prices pre
vail can be formed from the fact that
in Dyea whisky sells a $10 a gallon
and 25 cents a drink. At Sheep Camp
it is $30 a gallon and 50 cents for a
small drink. Last week a packer by
the name of Wells sold a quart of
whisky at Lake Lindermann for $40,
Such is the way money changes hands
among those who are making lots of it,
And there is gambling for big stakes
in this country. While at Sheep Camp
last week I saw a stud game between
seven packers, iq which gamblers
were barred, and it took $2.50 to see the
second card, $5 to see the third, and
up to 9zu to see tne last. There was
about $2000 on the table.
I have made two trips to Lake Liu
dermann, and at one time thought of
packing my outfit over before the trail
plosed, but changed my mind after the
last trip, bo wlU tay bere until some
time in January, when I will sled it
over. A horse or mule will haul 1000
pounds on a Yukon sled from here to
the Scales, and from there Archie
Burn's cable will take freight to the
summit, three-quarters of a mils, for
one cent a pound. From the summit,
it is a down-hill pull, with nice cool
weather.
Parties are arriving on every steam
er, and having their outfits hauled
several miles up the canyon, where
they build log cabins and make prep
arationsto cross the pass as soon af
the. snow crusts.
The two wharves under can&truotipn
and the tram road are progressing
nicely. The saw mill below Sheep
Camp is running day and night, so
everything is looming up in this coun
try.
There are men coming over from
Dawson every few days. Most of them
buy provisions, a few dogs and a sjed,
and stari back. They expect to be
able to sled their stuff back to Dawson
when tno snow crusts and the river is
perfectly frozen.
D, J. Thompson has just come out
from Dawson, having left there on Oc
tober 7th, and says six big strikes
were made in September. He will
start back at pnee with 350 pounds of
supplies, and expects to make it from
the sommit to Dawson in 25 days.
If any of the people from about The
Dalles intend going to Klondike in the
spring they should start early. Ev6n
if they have to lay over here for a time
they will learn much that will be of
benefit to tbem,and will get used to the
climate so that they can stand the trip
better. J. P. Hubkick.
CATHOLIC FAIR GLOBED.
The Last ight Was the Crowning Event
of the Week.
Saturday night Vogt opera house
was nilea to overflowing, everybody
apparently having turned out to see
the closing of the Catholic fair which
had ben so successfully conducted
during the week.
The musical program was well ren
dered and was exceptionally good.
though the greatest interest centered
on the voting contests and the award
ing of prizes, some of the best articles
offered having been given away that
evening. Among the prizes awarded
by raffle Saturday night were the fol
lowing:
Pair of shoes, awarded, to Charles
Gruenow; sofa cushion, Oscar Groe-
non; doll, Mrs. P. A. Jobnson, Madon
na, Mr. Thornburn; picture, T. J.
Twoling; silver tea set, John Fitzger
ald; gold watch and ohain, Loopok
Maier; German mug, Frank A. Cram;
bl -oom set, T. T. Nicholas; rocking
chair, M. Callaghan; oil painting, A.
Bronsgeest; steel range, Carl GotfrJed.
The first voting contest decided was
for the most popular young lady in
The Dalles. At the beginning of the
contest a number of youngladies names
were offered, but on Saturday evening
all had been withdrawn except Miss
Katie Erogan and Miss Sandrock. In
all 1011 votes were cast, and Miss Bro
gan receiving the highest number was
awarded a handsome set of bracelets.
Late in the evening a herd of Elks
filed into the opera house to contest
for the silk flag to be awarded to the
most popular society iu the city, and
after raising the vote accredited to the
Elks above danger line, chanced to ob
serve thatthirtyler, Engineer George
Ferguson, had only nine votes to his
credit as the most popular rai'.road
mm on the division, proceeded to em
phasize his popularity, and it was no
time until he was neek-and-ntck with
Billy Maher, who is conceded to be one
of the most popular railroad conductors
on the coast. This created somewhat
of a rivalry, and the lady in charge of
the voting was kept busy eracirig- the
figures on the blackboard and writing
higher ones. Votes were 10 cents each,
and for a time they increased by tens
and twenties, but just before time was
called 100 votes were added to Fergu
son's credit, making his record 722.
Billy Maher had 658, John Fagan 165,
Jack Gallagher 9S, and some 50 vote.?
were credited to different railroad
tnon. When the result wasnnnouoced
the Elks got Ferguson on their shoul
ders, hoisting him above the crowd,
and escorted him to the voting stand
where he was declared the winner. -
The contest for the flag was not so
spirited, other societies apparently
haying come to the conclusion that the
Elks had come after the flag and would
take it back to their hall regardless of
cost, which conclusion was not far from
correct. The EIks led in the vote with
549, Co. G, O. N. G , second with 345,
while there were about 200 scattering
votes for different societies.
Tne Tair nas indeed been a success
both socially and financially, the
church having realized a neat sue
from the sales, and certainly every
body who attended the fair was well
ehtertained.

"EVERY DOG HAS HIS PAT."
W. C. Gibson Retaliates and Sues Bernard
A Co.
W. C. Gibson, solicitor .of printing
and blank books, was arrested some
months ago on a charge of embezzle-
men preferred by Bernard & Co., of
St. Louis. His arrest and arraignment
occurred at .Bauer t-'ity, where the
grand jury returned "not a true bill"
against him, Gibaos has now filed a
counter claim against George D, Ber
nard & Co., asking for 50,000 damages.
He. a vers that the accusation made
against him by the St. Louis firm is
false and was known o be so by them
at "the time it was made, that the
charge was based on a transaction in
warrants, which was converted by de
fendant aeeerdlng to his agreement
with the firm, and accounted for.
Gibson avers that he was three days
in custody, and was put to an expense
in traveling to liaker county, hotel
bills and other costs, aggregating
$250.
On February 28, the grand Jury of
Baker county, returned not a true
bill. Gibson claims, by reason of his
wrongful a-rest, he was disgraced,
humiliated, ' and suffered generally,
and asks for $50,000 to heal the wounds,
and the $250 the affair cost him, or
judgment all told ior 830,250. East

The marriageable age.
Human's Period of Youth Has Advanced
Ten Tears.
I "be great trouble with this particu
lar ag e," remarked a young woman on
her tw'enty-seventh birthday, "is that
people re so obviously wondering
whether or not one intends to get mar
ried, end -opining that if so, one had
better be about it, lest she find herself
in the predicament of Jacky, of nursery
lore, of Whom it is narrated that 'first
he ivould, then he wouldn't, then he
though tlie would, and then he couldn't.'
Dr, us the Scotch gallantly put it, a
jjirl at eighteen wonders: 'Who shall I
take, at twenty-five who shall I get,
and at thirty who win take me?'"
'You forget," remarked her listener,
"that woman's period of youth has
moved on o good ten years. In the
aid-fashioned aovel the heroine was in
variably sweet sixteen, never by any
ihance either more or less. This gave
her tweyears in which to accomplish
the object of her being, since after the
venerable ago of eighteen all possible
interest in her was supposed to cease.
Sow you seldom find a heroine of fic
tion who interests you under twenty
six, and in a'lanje number cf actual
mcri-iajfe statistics the bride is between
tweii;'-five and thirty, anil even older.
How can a child of sixteen or eighteen
form a-ry just estimate of a man's char
acter, or how it will accord with her
own-?"
"Uut, don't you think," said the first
speaker, "at that undeveloped a ge her
own character can grow into conformi
ty with "his., and that perhaps there
will be lc:js conflict and greater happi
ness thereby?"
"Oh, that is a medieval sort of view
implying the subjection of women,
who had better be out of the woria
since it is now cut of the fashion, in
these days of woman's suffrage meet
injjs anion.? Clio fore hundred and peti
tions to Hie legislature."
Then the two. says the Philadelphia
Press, drifted into a discussion of the
political status cf women.
Slxtt en Prizes Awarded.
A sp'endid musical program was

tered on the awarding of prizes, six
teen of which were disposed of. They

The Cbalnless Bicycle.
The greatest innovation in the con
struction of bicycles that has been
made since the '"safety" supplanted
the old "ordinary" is the chainless or
geared wheel. This machine in a most
perfect form has been brought out by
the Pope Manufacturing Co., and will
be put on the markent as the 1S93 Col
umbia. D. W. Wallace, representing
the company, is in the city with one of
thecbainleas wheels, and Dalles bicy
clists are universally pleased with its
appearance. It is beyond doubt the
most perfect bicycle that has yet been
placed on the market, and will prove a
general favorite.
