goods that would do credit to a city of
60,000.
f". -" Clarke and Falk, of the Postofflce
Pharmacy, haye a very unique window
: display, consisting of a frog pond,
with the usual number of amphibious
animals distributed around in every
conceivable manner.
The city authorities are certainly to
be complimented upon their efforts to
clear up the streets of The Dalles
The work being done on Second street
is indeed commendable, and will result
in good not only to the travelling pub
lic but as a sanitary measure.
The new warehouse that Sam Wil
.- kin son Is building on Front street, is
about completed. The completion of
this warehouse, together with the
other improvements that are contem
plated in this line, will place The
Dalles far ahead of any point in East-
ern Oregon, as regards warehouse
facilities.
Ernest" Jensen has displayed extra
rood abilitv in decorating A. M. Wil
liams & Co's. store for the holidays.
The idea in arranging the scene of the
first Christmas eve is indeed original
and is worthy of notice. Mr. Jensen
is an artist in decorating, and is a
window dresser who could command a
salary anywhere.
For the. past two weeks the editor of
the Times Mountaineer has not been
able to devote much time to the get
ting up of the paper, having devoted
the greater part of his time to the
special edition of the paper which is
to appear the first week of the new
year, and for the nest week his entire
time will be devoted to that edition
The Rev. Thomas Keith, pricked by
his conscience, recently returned all
his pension meaey, some $465, to the
government, and now he has written
to the New York World explaining
his motives of conscience and honesty,
In his letter he cites a case in which a
Presbyterian elder is drawing $30 a
month for deafness while managing a
long distance telephone as an occupa
tion. Publish the pension list! E O.
A man awhile ago left his family in
Kansas, and came out to Oregon, The
wife and children have had to go to
the poor house. The man located in
Eugene where he was soon found out
and the -Guard called him a brute,
which is tame enough. His name is
Wickam. He would look well inside
of a coat of tar and feathers. Such
men ' should be made to know that
there is no place in society even of the
lowest order for them.
J. E. Shearer, one of Wasco counties
most prominent stock raisers and buy-
ers.has returned to The Dalles after an
abseace of nearly four months, Dur
Ing his absence Mr. Shearer has trav-
ersed the country between The Dalles
and Nebraska with a band of sheep
and arrived with them in good con
dition at his destination. Mr. Shearer
says that the west has been drained
this rear of all kinds of stock as it
. never has been before.
People coming from the interior re
port that the roads are rapidly improv
ing and that a day or so more of colder
weather will put them in good shape
for traveling. It is to be hoped that
the roads will soon improve so that
the people from the country can get to
town to do their holiday trading, as
our merchants have made preparations
for a good t.-ade in holiday goods, and
It would be a serious loss to them to
miss the country trade.
On Monday, December 26, the grand
exalted ruler of the lodge of Elks will
be in Portland, and a reception will
be given him by Portland Ledge, No.
142 on that date, also a "stag" social
will be given by the lodge that even
Ing. Portland lodge invites Elks from
all ever the state to be present. The
D. P. & A. N. Co. and the O. R. & N.
have made special rates from The
Dalles, for the occasion, the terms of
which will be made known by applica
tion to F. W. Wilson, secretary of the
Cacsadei lodge.
All signs, persons, and things, point
out the fact that Christmas is here, the
show windows haye all put on holiday
attire; the mother, sister and sweet
heart are making the rounds of the
tores to try and find suitable presents.
But the one who gives the final warn
ing did not appear until this morning,
and that la the man who furnishes the
Christmas trees. A number of wagons
loaded with trees have put in an ap
pearance, and the way trees have dis
appeared one could easily judge that
we are to have a joyous Christmas.

Four blocks of Second street have
been cleaned of mud by Marshal
Lauer, and the street as far as it has
been cleansed is in an excellent con

weather has eet in and frozen the mud,
work has been stopped, but as soon as

The distillery at Grants may resume
operations next spring, according to
J. M. Walker, the manager. There is
a lot of bleached wheat in Sherman
and other Eastern Oregon counties,
he says, that while spoiled for export
or milling can be used in the manufac
ture of spirits. The bleaching of the
wheat has no injurious effect and prac
tically Is as good as first quality for
that purpose.
D. B, Gaunt tells the Frineville
Journal man that he will not put in
a renewal bid for carrying the U. S.
mails from The Dalles to that town
Mr. Gaunt is persuaded that it is the
intention of the Columbia Southern to
push the extension of their road with
all possible speed and that he would
not be one bit surprised if it is exten
ded far enough south by next summer
to carry part of Crook ceunty's wool
to market. With this conviction Mr
Giunt very naturally does not place
much value on a contract for the old
stage route. .
The Eugene Guard says it costs $100
a month to feed the tramps, which is
done out of the city's money. It is no
more a city's business to feed that kind
Of paupers than it is any kind of pau
per. Again, it is a good way to fos
ter the tramp nuisance. Whenever
the tramp is starved be will stay away,
and that is a good way to solve the
tramp problem, says the Albany Demo
crat. We have enough poor at home
who deserve what little we have to
spend besides what we need to run
our own Institutions.
The Dalles Is not generally behind
on any kind of a proposition, no matter
what line she is picked up on, she can
hold her own. Last week, prizes were
offered on the Umatilla bouse alleys
for the two persons who would have
the highest average for ten consecutive
games bowled before the 19th. The
first prize was captured by Mr. Flem
ing who attained the remarkable aver
age of 61,2-5 for the 10 games. His
score by games was 58, 58, 59, 64, 60,
w, 6i, ez, ez, ob, oe. Mr. Maetz, re
ceived the next prize, with an average
of 54, which is very seldom beaten,
the score by games was 61, 57, 55, 55,
55, 53, 53, 53, 52, 51.

A middle aged man called on Mar
shal Lauer this morning, and claimed
to have been robbed in a lodging house
last night. The marshal went with
him to investigate the ca-e, and when
he arrived at the house and began to
inquire about the affair it was found
that the man had hid his money under
the pillow. When he awoke tbi
morning, and found his money had
been taken from his clothes, he immed
iately thought that some one had
robbed him.
A. M. Willams & Co. have again
one of the most realistic window dis
plays that has ever been shown in The
Dalles. In fact it would be a credit t
any city. While looking at the win
do v one could readily imagine that lu
was in a balloon taking a bird's eye
view of the miners on the way to
Klondike. The log cabin is true to
life, while the sun which is made of
neckties, is a perfect representation of
old Sol in the north.
This morning as one of the Christ
mas tree wagons was returning home
after disposing of a load of treei, the
horses became frightened at the steam
saw that was sawing wood in the alley
between Second and Third streets.
The horses made a break for liberty
and the way they went up the street
would have put Ben Hur to shame.
They kept in the middle cf he road
until near the school bouse, when a
turn was made to the East which
brought them up agaust a telephone
pole with a dull, sickening thud. This
endel their flight and turned the
wagon over. The driver soon came
along, straightened things out and
went after another load of trees as if
nothing had bappeneJ.

A number of small boys were no

throwing snow balls at a Chinaman,
who did not seem to notice them until
struck in tho face with a ball, consist
ing mainly of mud. He gave chase to
the boys, but, as soon as they crcssed
the street, they separated, -going in
every direction, but the Chinaman bad
his eye on one of the offenders, and
let the others go. The one he was
after, thinking perhaps to elude his
pursuer, started across the street in
the mud, and whemhe was about half
way across, stumbled, and fell in a pool
of muddy water. The Chinaman, evi
dently thinking that his anger had
been appeased, stood on the walk and
enjoyed a hearty laugh, while the face
tious small boy went his way, bo
moaning his fate.

The Small Boy nnd HIa Sled.
Now is the time to look out for the
small boy and his hand sled. There
is just about enough snow on the
ground to make coasting reasonably
good on the side walks, and the small
boy is the first to discover that fact,
then the pedestrian is suddenly made
aware of the fact by hearing a rumb
ling sound, accompanied by the signal
of "Track!" Track!" which is in sub
stance, get out of the way if you don't
want to get hurt. About the only
thing that saves one now days on
Union and Washington streets is the
fact that the crossings are too muddy,
and as soon as the sled strikes the
mud an air break is made. A little
more snow and The Dalles would
show that she is in the front rank in
winter sports as well as anything else
she undertakes.

1SABES IN THE WOODS,
Experience of Two Wasco Connty Young
sters.
. Fred N. Jones, of Bakeoven, one of
the Wasco county legislative delega
tion, was in Portland, Sunday, and
tells the Oregonian a story from Sher
ar's Bridge, that fairly rivals the
ancient acd well-known story of the
children in the wood.
representative Jones has anarre-
sake living at Sberrar's Bridge,
who is the father of two bright
boys, 7 and 3 years of age. Sev
eral days ago he sent the youngsters
out to drive a band of hogs out of
field nearby, and they scampered off to
carry out the mission intrusted to them
That was the last seen of them for two
nights and a day, and their- absence
from the' family hearthstone naturally
created a great commotion.
When the children failed to put is
an appearance the first night, several
hours after they had gone to drive out
the hogs, the greatest alarm prevailed
in the Jones household. The search
for the little ones was kept up all
through the night, and the next day
the entire community was aroused
Everybody was out on the search, but
no trace of the missing children could
be discovered, and when another night
came, (he parents were distracted ovtr
their loss.
The following day, after hours of
searching, the lost were found. Both
were discovered asleep in a straw-
stack, in which they had biirrowofi
and when found they were benumbed
with cold and half famished.
They could make no explanation of
what they did during the locg and
anxious hours that others were search
ing for them. They remembered tbtt
they had started out to drive the hogs
out of the field, and then, tired and
worn out, they had crawled info the
straw stack and fallen 8 sleep. There
were no goo-i robins to cover tne little
waifs with leaves to keep them v ar
but, locked in each other's arms, they
securely slept, unmindful of the d is
tress their prolonged abaerce h d
caused, and of the prowling coyotes
that wander through the nights over1
the fields and ranges of that portion
of the state. The youngsters are
again safe at home, and it w 11 be
many a long day before they are dis
patched to drive hogs out cf the field.

CUT WITH WIRE ROPE,
Bow Stone la to Be Taken Oat of a
Eastern Quarry.
Those who have indulged in deep sea
fishing know how the fish line cut9
deeply into the hard wood of the gun
wale as it is. hauled in while taut.
. Even an iron protection, after a time,
shows the wear of the rope, whieh is
comparatively soft. This, says the De
troit Free Press, gives a clew to the
invention of an Albany quarryman for
cutting stone. Instead, however, of
hemp, he proposes to use wire rope,
' and with this he will carve the marble
and stone right out of its native bed.
! The wire is wound in strands, and has a
very rough surface, powerful machin
ery gives a strong and steady strain,
and the stone, yielding to the constant
wear, parts, with smooth edges. It
would be easy enough to cut the blocks
uf ter they are removed from the quar-
' ry, but where the cleverness of the in-
' ventor comes in is devising mechanism
that can. be applied to the stone while
in the quarry. This is effected by sinik-
ing two parallel channels in the quarry
to a depth of little greater than that of
the lowest level of the stone to be cut.
The channels may be from 2 to 100 feet,
or more, apart. At the bottom of each
: is made a' small hole to receive the foot
' ends of the shafts of the machine. This
: is the only preparation of the quarry
that is necessary. The ropes, which
! are coiled on huge drums, are then
passed around the channels, and as the
drums revolve the cutting proceeds.
Suitable brakes are provided for the
regulation of the speed and pressure.
The ordinary speed of the strand is 600
feet a minute, so that a mile length
of it passes in six minutes. While the
chilled shot and water can, be intro
duced to increase the attrition. Far
better, however, than either of these
is a composition obtained from the
tailings of a- magnetic iron, separator,
which costs abut one-tenth as much as
tht chilled shot.; It does not leave the
lines caused by the shot, and it can
be used over .and over again,

Bnrled With iler Money.
John Claypool, of Prineville, knows
the spot in the forks of the Sactiam
where a $3 gold tiece has been buried
for nearly 50 years, says the Crook
County Journal. Ibe story is inter
esting ij illustrating the custom tnat
still prevails ao.ong the Oregon In
dians. Uhevtifeof an old cl.ief was
dying. 1 he aged squaw had lecom;
possessed cf to, which she had earned
by picking berries and selling them
to the white settlers, and the money
was in the form of a $3 gold piece. As
she neared the con fines of the "happy
hunting grounds," the old chief, in
tent upon making sure that bis squaw
should carry ber possessions with ber,
made ber swallow the gold .piece, and
assisted in tne operation by ramming
it down her throat with his finger.
The squaw died and was buried, and
the money has laid in this strange
casket for well-night half a century,
says the Journal, ".'la iy a time,"
John says, "when I was a boy, I have
looked at the spot where the old squaw
was buriediaod wished I had the $5
gold piece that was buried in her
craw."

B.O.O. BHUXT8, ot Wlnteraet, Iowa,
Inventor and manufacturer of
Ehnlts' Safety Whlffletree Coupling,
writes of Dr. Miles' Heart Core. "Two years
ago an attack of LaGrippe left me with a
weak heart. I had rob down in flesh to
mere akin and bone. I could not sleep lying
down for smothering spells; frequent sharp
darting pains and palpitation caused a con
stant fear of sadden death, notnins-coald
induce me to remain away from home or
night. My local physician prescribed Dr.
Hues' Heart Cure and In a few days I was
able to sleep well and the pains gradually
lessened, and finally ceased. I reduced the
the doses, having gained fifteen pounds, and
am now feeling better in every way than (
