Let the old lamps be got out and pol
ished up.
It would seem that The Dalles is
pretty well supplied with secret socie
ties, but in all probability another

SPLENDID FOOTBALL.
The Game Between Portland aad The
Dalles wa All Tbat Could be Ez
pected.
.It was advertised that the football
game Tuesday between .Portland and
The Dalles should be the best ever
witnessed in Eastern Oregon, and tbe
promise was fulfilled in every respect.
Both teams were in the pink of con
dition, and when the men were lined
up by the respective captains it was
the general expression tha no finer lot
of athletes could be got together in
the state.
The visitors had the kick off and
when the pigskin was started bound
ing away toward their goal It looked
as If Portland had the better of the
game, but by some fine rushes The
Dalles team soon had it started up tbe
field, and it was impossible for tbe
Portlander's to check its progiess
though for 25 minutes they resisted
the local players with all their might
and main. Billy Fields made some
star flays tbat gave the local team the
advantage, as did also Bartell and
Saniers, and just before 30 minutes
had elapsed, Grant Mays got pos.-es
sion of the ball, and by a most -super
human effort made a touch down, tbat
scored four points for The Dalles. The
remainder of the first half The Dalles
team consumed, and to conclude tbe
first half Bartell kicked a goal, credit
im two more points for tbe homo
players.
At the beginning of the second half
De Hall sent the ball bounding well up
the field, but Fields was there to stop
if., aod little advantage was gained by
the Portlanders. From this on there
was some fine playing. Clune and
Manulton did some very clever work,
and the rushes the Portlanders made
were simply irresistable. Foot
by foot the fphere was forced
toward the goal. Finally Clune
was able to . force it over the
line and made a touch-down for Port-
lnd. Excitement do-.v ran high and
the "rooters" for The Dalles tried
hard to "rattlr' De Hall when be back
ed away to kick a goal, but their ef
forts were without avail, for when he
struck the bail it went flying in the
air, over tbe goal and fir into the field
beyond. 1 h's 1 "f" the texro with six
to six, and five minutes more of the
last half to le consu ne '.
Durine that limited time there was
some rapid pliying, The Dalles having

be expected.

sented the appearanco of just having
come out of the bandboxs that beld
the aristocracy of Washington's time.
and thev sing songs that carried tbe
oldest inhabitant back to tbe days of
his childhood. All the musical ren
ditions were perfect, and had any old
citizen of colonial davs-been able to
awake from his grave and been trans
planted into tho Vogt Opera house he
would have been convinced hat tbe
world had net channel one whit. . He
would have been surroundei with the
associates of his time, and the customs
familiar to his age. '
Tbe program heretoforo published
wa carried out in full, and few spec
laities were thrown in for good measure
that were highly appreciated by- all.

much of it left fjr ordinary traffic.
This bas caused mora or less oomment.

seems the ordinance together with
other city documents that date back
from 20 to 40 years have disappeared
from the city arcbieve. and no one
seems to know just what rights tbe
company or the city have on First
street. It might bs well for the city
council to look the raattec up. and if
tbe old ordinance granting tbe fran
chise is not to be found, pass a new
one that would protect the rights of all

M'KIMLET SPEAKS.
Be Wants Peace With Spain bnt Will Pre
pare for ftar.
Chicago, Feb. 24. The Tribune
this morning prints the following
special from Washington:
To a senator who called upon him
yesterday in order to ask some serious
questions as to the policy of tbe ad
ministration, President McKinley,
with the utmost frankness, uttered tbe
following words:
"I do not propose to do anything at
all to accelerate war with Spain. Up
to tbe present I do not think war is
either necessary or inevitable. I
would be lax in my duty, however, if I
did not prepare for the future. The
situation is grave, and the policy of
the administration will be determined
almost entirely by the course of events
from time to time. There is no neces
sity of alarming the people, but con
gress must be ready to assist tbe ad
ministration without making too many
inquiries as to the course of current
events."
There is no doubo of the fact that
the government of tbe United States
is actually preparing for war with
Spain. It is not inevitable that war
will follow, but the activity Is too un
mistakable to be concealed. The pres
ident and bis cabinet unite in tbe be
lief still, in SDite of all evidence to
the contrary, tbat the explosion of tbe
Maine was an unfortunate accident,
but they recognize the fact that the
contrary may prove true at almost any
hour, and that if it is shown eveuin
ferentially tbat Spain bad a hand In
the catastrophe there will be but one
thing to do, and tbat will be to seize
the inland of Cuba by force of arms.
At no time since the war of the rebel
lion has the military branch of tbe
government been so active as it is to
day. Fr HOOKED A BEE IvlARTFN.-
Be Was Fishing for Trout, Bnt Uot a Bit
of Another Sort.
"A strange thing happened to me
when I was trout fishing last year up
in northern New York," said Andrew
Bishop, of Bridgeport, Conn., to a
Washington Star man. "The fish were
very wary, the stream was narrow, and
the pools were but lightly bordered
with bushes or cover of any kind, con
sequently when I would reach a prom
ising looking spot I would get as far
from the bank a possible, and at the
same time be able to drop my fly over
in the water. I had followed this plan
with poor success, getting only one or
two strikes in as many hours,when sud
denly my line began to run out with a
whirr. No trout had ever carried off a
fly for me in such a way before, and I
was nonplussed, but in a moment I saw
that it was not a fish that was making
my reel sing. Rising from the surface -of
the stream and flying above it was a
bee marten which had gobbled my fly
as I cast it over the bank, and he was
making away with it The bird soon
had nearly all my line out, and not
caring to lose it.I began to play him as 1
would play a fish. He struggled gamely,
I tell you, but the hook had caught in
his beak and held him firmly. At last,
after a full hour of fighting, the bird
fluttered helplessly to the ground, and
I released him. Yon may think that's
a ilst: story. iit it s true.
A. 8T ATZMENT BY LONG.
Hoard of Inquiry Bas Not Made Any Secret
Report.
Washington, Feb. 24. Secretary
of tho Navy Long today in answer to
'qniries as, to whether the depart-I
nient was suppressing information con
cerning the disaster, to the Maine,
vrote the following:
"No telegram has been received
'rom either Admiral Sicard or Captains i
Sampson or Sigsbee,- since, yesterday j
ifternocn. and this department has re- :
ceived no information with regard to
he Maine disaster' thai has. not al
ready been made public. The depart
ment is awaiting the result of tbe in. I
quiry, and' judgment should be sus- j
DcnJed until some official information
is received.'
Reports from Havana have not
changed in any degree the view of
Mgh officials of tbe government as to
he i rotable cause of the disaster to
the Maii:e. It can bo 3lated on tbe
highest authority that absolutely
u'.M.Tg of a disquieting nature has
hepn received at the White House,
nor is important news of any charac
ter expected until the cou-t of inquiry
ha- completed its investigation aod
s i bin it ted its report.
SALOON IN
TWO COUNTRIES.
Ingenious Arrangement for the
Thirsty
oa the Aloxicm ISorder.
There is an infcr.ious saloonkeeper
who conducts a x-lace in o little village
on the border between this country and
Mexico.says the Louisville Commercial.
The village is half in California and
half in Lower California. Theie pre
two bars in his saloon, one on the south
and one on tbe north side of a large
room. The dividing line between the
two countries bisects the house, and
one bar is located in Mexico and the
other is located in the United States.
The proprietor pays big Kcense to both
countries, but ctill makes a handsome
living out of the business. He has
suspended all tbe way across the street
in front a unique sign. On the United
States side it reads, in letters a foot
high: "Your first n'nd last chance."
On the other side, in Spanish, it ex
presses the same idea.
The saloon is known by that nonic
for miles around, acd many on eastern
tourist - who has quenehed his thirst
there will remember it. It is a great
resort for "cow punchers" of both nar
tions who work in that territory.
Hence many is the bloody fight that
takes place there, and few are the ones
brought to justice whose crimes are
ommittsvl there. . .. .

I A. fl. WILLIAMS & CO.
SHE LOVES THE FRENCH. 7 I
That Is Why Queen Victoria Is Ro Papw
lar la France.'
' The frreat popularity enjoyed ' by
Queen. Victoria in France is due not
only to her .world-recognized virtues,'
both as an exemplary sovereign and an
exemplary woman, but also to the
' knowledge of her extreme fondness for
the French nation and French people
generally, says the New York Journal.
One of the secrets of the queen's
great personal influence in European
politics an influence ever used on the
side of peace, and good .will -is her
equal attachment to the two great con
tinental nations which have bo long
Deen rivals. ; -
I believe we shall know some day1
Detter tiian we know now how much,
her majesty has done to bring about a
better understanding between France
and Germany, and so to promote the
peace of the world.
. Some idea of the burden of official
work that falls upon the-queen may be
gathered from the statement that in
She course of last year her majesty
mastered the contents of no fewer than
twenty-eight thousand dispatches. :
m inese democratic days we are so
accustomed to .keep uppermost in our
minds the social side of the sovereign's
duties that we are apt to forget hov
heavy is her share in the actual work
of government.
Though her ministers are, of course,
responsible, no official act of theirs is
valid without her assent, which is never
given without a thorough and consci
entious examination of the question in
hand.
But, in addition to her majesty's
heavy 6tate duties, there is the enor
mous private correspondence which her
vast and widely-spread family circle
renders necessary and which she main
tains with the most scrupulous and un
failing regularity.
There are probably few women of
seventy-six who get through a tithe of
the work daily performed by the inde
fatigable queen.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
A good authority on horses say
that the gray will live the longest, and
that the roans com: next in order.
Blacks seldom live to be over 20, and
creams rarely exceed 10 or 15.
Cut flowers will keep very fresh
if a small pinch of common saltpeter
is put in the water in which they stand.
Tbe ends of the stem should be cut off
a little every day to keep open the ab
sorbing pores.
One of the six graduating students
of the West Penn medical college blew
out the gas in a hotel bedroom in Pitts
burgh, Pa., the other day. All six
students were sleeping in the room and
all came very near being asphyxiated.
A Buluwayo (South Africa) paper
recently contained the following item:
"In consequence of our local baker de
parting suddenly from our midst, re
gretted by his friends, except his cred
itors, Buluwayo has been without
bread the greate part of the week.
The French language contains. 13
per cent, of useless letters. There are
6,800 journals published in the lan
guage, and they print 108,000,000,000
letters every year, so that 14,040,000,000
letters are nseless, simply because they
have ceased to be used in the French
language as it is spoken.
At a recent sale of the assets of a
riding academy in New York city the
saddle horses brought an average
of less than $30 apiece. This is said
to be the lowest price on record for
horses of this description, and the fact
was generally noted that in Xew York
the market valim of a horse i3 lower
than that of a bicycle.
The ceremonies at the creation of
knights have been various. The prin
cipal was a box on the ear and a stroke
with a sword on the shoulders l y a
sovereign prince. They put on bint a
shoulder belt and a gilt mvorrt. fpiira
and other military accoiiiernicnts, aft
er which, be'rg armed as a knight,
he was led to the church with great
pomp.
