motion is even 800, and 98 of this total
: are in the high school department.
' Owing to the fact that the services
of a band could not be secured the
parade of the Dalles Minstrel Boys
was dispensed with. This, however,
does not affect this evening's show in
( ' the least.

tel. .
- We are informed by Mr. Emil Schan
no, of the state board of Horticulture,
that at present is the best time to
-spray for the San Jose scale. The
weather is pleasant with no wind to
. speak of, ' while lr it may be cold,

satisfactory than later and should be
' attended to at once. '
A nrorphine fiend by the name of,
Steve Russel, who has been serving a
; term in the city jail for vagrancy, was
sent to his home in Vancouver this
morninff on the steamer Dalles Citv.
'. Another whose time is not yet finished

' other city buildings.
' School Clerk Schmidt is now busy
; taking the annual enumeration for

1058; in '95 1212; in '96 1282; in '97
1309: in '98 1347:
A few night ago a party named
' Sullivan who was rendered 'somewhat
- top-heavy by strong liquor fell over
' , the railing at the back of the Umatilla
- . House. It is over twenty feet . to
the ground and the remarkable part
of the affair is that he sustained but a
few slight scratches. Where he lit
was anything but a soft place, the
1 ground being covered by stones, and
were he in his sober senses he would
have probably fared much worse.
. Yesterday Cram and Bolter brought
in fifty eight bead of beef cattle from
their Trout Creek ranch near Cross
Keys. The cattle were weighed at the
stock yards this morning and sold to
Charles Butler of Port Townsend.
The exact quotations could not be
learned but it is thought they brought
. about three and one-half and four cents
per pound according to the class. The
cattle will be shipped to Port Town
send this evening.
The reporter had the pleasure of at
tending the dress rehearsal of The
Dalles Min6trels last evening and was
highly pleased with the performance
throughout. Tne costumes are tne
finest that could be secured and will
rival any lhat have ever been seen in
a homo talent show in The Dalles,
many of the turns are new and original,
while the interludes and ac
companiments of Prof. Baldwin's or
chestra adds to the completeness of
tho performance.
, Yesterday Michael and John Bohan,
ol this city, aged 11 and 15, secured a

Their father after finding the direction
they had taken telephoned to Dufur
and requested Marshall Hinman to
catch the boys and put them In jail,
if they showed up in that town
Nothing has - been heard of their
whereabouts as yet or the cause of
their strange action. Both are said
to be able to look out for themselves
and little fear is entertained that they
will not turn up all right.
Fred W. Wilson returned yesterday
from a short trip to Grass Valley,
Moro and Wasco. He informs us that
grass is springing up nicely in
Sherman county. The stockmen fed
but little hay during the;twinter so
that they have more than sufficient to
carry them through any storm that
may - come between now and spriog.
Farmers are busily engaged in plow
log and the principal question with
the people south of Moro is in what
direction will the Columbia Southern
take from that place. The general be
lief is, however, that its construction
will be pushed as rapidly as possible
although the exact route is not yet
known.
The bowling contest at the Com
percUleinb last nif M m intereet-

took part worked hard to carry away
tne handsome trophies. The attend
ance was not as large as might be ex
pected owing to the fact that so many
of the csub member were in attend
ance at the dress rehearsal of the club
minstrels. Leo Schanno, Frank Men
efee and Grant Mays formed the win
ning team for last evening, they will,
nowever, nave to win in two more
games before they can claim the pins
ae tnir own. More bowlers and a
harder contest is looked for next
Friday night.
Our climate certainly proves a most
remarkable one thi9 winter. Two
weeks ago we had two feet of snow.
cold weather and all that goes with a
genuine Eastern Oregon winter. To
day our town people are moving around
without overcoats the thermometer
stands at 50; bicycle riders are enjoy
ing a quiet spin over dusty roads,
while our nigh U are so pleasant that
the best of people are in danger of
staying out late. Lawns and gardens
are beginning to show the influences
of the mild weather while the hills
surrounding our city are changing
their fall and winter garments for a
spring jacket of a greenish tinge.
During the week there have been
shipped to Lyle and the mouth of the
Big Klickitat river two carloads of
tools and railroad builders' outfits, and
it is said a party of surveyors were
recently seen on the south side of the
mounialn. working toward The Dalles.
Yesterday a crew was seen driving
stakes at a lively rate on a survey that
had just been made through Farmer
Daly's field, a point a few miles south
west of Goldendale. It Is believed the
surveying party of Engineer A. E.
Hammond is the unknown party, and
that it will be in Goldendale soon with
the line of survey. This item which
we take from yesterday's Oregonian
would indicate that Goldendale is in a
fair way to have a roadway to the
Columbia in the near future.
The Oregonian of last week reports
Astoria as being confronted with a
constantly increasing school attend
ance and a constantly decreasing
assessment list. The same condition
exists in a les9er degree in The
Dalles. Ic '94 taxes were assessed on
a total roll of Sl,413,434,by tbls district
with an average daily attendance in
the schools of 414; in '95 the roll de
creased to $1,280,370, and the daily at
tendance to 517; in '96 the roll
decreased to 1,186.151. and the atten
dance increased to 583; in '96 the roll
increased to $1,193,161 and the attend
ance increased to 596; in '98 the roll
increased to $1,172,479 and the attend
ance increased to 660. The present
roll for collection of taxes this year
has increased to $1,181,703. and the
school attendance is the largest in the
history of the district.

The case of Bl akeney vs O. D. Tay
lor which was being tried in Saginaw
was throve out of court last Monday,
for lack of evidence and .Mr. Taylor

Last Saturday evening a crowd of
young folks went out from town to Mr.
and Mrs. Mike Doyle's residence on
Chenowith creek, and met there a
number of dancers from the country,
there being 25 couples iu ail in attend
ance. A most enjoyable time was had
and all voted Mr. and Mrs. Doyle the
best of entertainers.
Considering the perilous position cf
many of the firemen on the roof and
porohes of the hotel during the fire
no very serious adcidents resulted.
John Hampshire fell from the roof at
the rear of the hotel and seriously in
jured his knee, while H. D. Parkins
received a serious blow from the noz
zle of the hose which laid him out for
a short time.
Tbe urgent need of a rew hook and
ladder truck was clearly demonstrated
last evening, there being an insuffic
ient number of ladders on the old one
and they are so heavy that several men
are required to put one in place. The
ladders of tbe latest make can be
handled by one person and as more
ladders are needed a new truck would
prove as good an investment as was
the new water system.
Charles Van Duyn, the Tygh Valley
meacbant, was in the city yesterday.
He informs us that the late storm
played havoc with the sheep out to
ward tbe Warm Spring reservation.
Kishwa, the sheep king of thesiwasbes
lost over two thousand head. This is
attr'buted tt tbe fact that they went
into the wi ter in a poor condition.
The wate (-commission are receiving
flattering tributes since yesterdays
blaze, and it seems to be the general
opinion that without the new system
the fire could never have been checked.
At the time that six streams were
playing on the blaze there was a pres
sure ol Irom to to vi pounas, wniie
with four boze attached to the old
system the pressure would fall to 40
pounds. The members of the com
mission certainly merit all the praise
tbey receive.

Captain Wand Arrive In the City Last
Might From the Frozen Aorth
What He Has to Say About
That Country.
The family and friends of Captain
Waud were pleasantly surprised last
evening by the receipt of a telegram
stating that he was in Portland and
would arrive home on the 11:30 train.
In a conversation with the captain
he stated that bis boat is at present
laid up on account of the ice, which
enabled him to make this visit to his
family and Dalles friends.
When he left for home the river
steamer, on which he is captain, was
hemmed in by four feet of ice. and it is
his opinion that its depth has increased
a foot or so eime that time.
He is running on the Yukon from
Dawson to White Horse rapids, a dis
tance of over 400 miles. It usually
takes ten days to make the round trip.
It is necessary to have double crews
for each boat as they run night and
day- One of the most hazardous places
on tbe trip is what is known as Thirty
mile river, it takes over 9 hours to
go up the thirty miles, while the re
turn trip at is made at tbe rate of a mile
a minute.
The captain has some very satisfac
tory claims In the Klondike region so
that his prospects for making a rapid
fortune are very flattering. He pre
fers the Yukon country to Oregon and
intends returning about the 1st of
March, or as soon as there is sufficient
indications of the Spring opening.
When asked as to the time this season
commenced be said: "I was surprised
when I reached Lake Ben net last May
to find intensely warm weather. Tbe
thermometer stood for a time at
over one hundred degrees, but later in
tbe season it became cooler so that an
overcoat was a necessary article of
wearing apparrel."
There is an abundance of provisions
in Dawson and l ttle fear that any o'ue
willbeinanyd ter of suffering from
hunger as the i jority of the miners
have a sufficiei: j of the necessaries
of life. There r.re not less than 4000
head of beef cattle in Dawson at
present, but fresh, muttou and pork is
rather scarce. Beef sold fir a time at
from 75 cents to one dollar per pound,
but tbe price at present is about thirty
cents per pound. Wood and hay com
mand a good price, marsh hay bring
ing about $400 per ton. .
Ripe strawberries can be found in
what is known as Miles canyon in
abundance during the summer months,
while wild cranberries, black and red
currants and black rasberries are com
mon as in more tropical climates.
In speaking of tbe Canidian police
he says they have been accused falsely
in many cases. They comprise the
best people in that country and if it
were not for them no one could live
there.

The Splendid Performance of Saturday
Sight Pays a Tribute to Dalles.
Talent Will Repeat ,
Tonight.
Never was the fact more clearly
demonstrated that The Dalles has as
many talented young people as any
town of its size in the west than it
was on Saturday evening at the
Minstrel performance.
- The curtain rose with the grand
opening overture "Black America"
by the entire compauy accompanied by
Prof. Baldwin's orchestra, and as
soon as the deafening applause dled
away and tbe delighted audience had
sufficient time to size up the situation
they could have recognized tbe familiar
face of N. J. Sinnott as interlocutoi ,
with Johnnie Hampshire and Bert Hoi
lister on the right end skillfully hand
ling the bones while Art Clarke and
Billie Crossen welded the tamboos on
the opposite side, while seated around
in appropriate costumes were a large
number of others whose names will be
mentioned in their respective turns.
Tbe comic song "Mr. Johnson Don't
Get Gay:' by Mr. John Hampshire
assisted by tbe entire company was
indeed well rendered and fully appreci
ated as the bearty encore clearly
demonstrated.
William Frank followed with a base
solo entitle "Armors Anvil Chorus
He has a magnificent voice and if
more fully cultivated he will be bard
to beat.
Arthur Clarke's singing of the comic
selection "I Don't Care if you Never
Come Back" took down the house
Arthur has a: various times, by Mb
clever work wo the hearts of a Dallee
audience and this time proved a repeti-
titlon of what be has done in the past
Charles Clarke's singing of "She
was Bred in Old Kentucky" was ad
mired by all while Will Crosben proved
a fountain of mirth in his song "My
Ann Eliza'". The finale "Did you hear
about Brown" wound up the speci
alties.
The little mascots, Hazel Waud and
Lela Kelsay, appeared after the inter
mission in their vocal duet "How I
Love My Lu" and by their sweet
singing and clever acting of that pretty
selection took the audience by storm
and received applause and bouquets in
abundance. The little ones are trained
perfectly and delighted everyone with
their general make-up and the easy and

Dr. Miles of this fact that all druggists are

Mrs. Henry Brans, wife of the well known

I was troubled with sleeplessness, nervous

suffering untold misery for years. I nsed
various advertised remedies for female com
plaints besides being under the care of local
physicians, without help. I noticed in Dr.

natural manner In when they per
formed. The Quaker City quartette consist
ing of William Frank, Bert Barrett,
Fred Snipes and Charles Heppner
made a decided hit by their selections
from popular songs, lbey all have
splendid voices and when the fact is
considered that they have had but
little training their singing will be all
the more appreciated.
Our local talent next appeared in the
person of Cary Ballard and Claud Kel
say under tbe name of the Lorenzo
Brothers, and when the difficult tumb
ling and long distance somersault acts
were witnessed many who were not ac
quainted with the boys thought they
were witnessing the performances of
professional circus men rather than
two of our Dalles boys.
During each intermission Professor
Baldwin's orchestra rendered pleasing
overtures and added to the already
complete performance by tbe same.
Although the members of the orches
tra have practiced together but a short
time, still each individual is a finished
musician and their music is beyond
criticism.
Had Dante Ellason been present at
Saturday night's performance he
might have got a few pointers in
Legerdemain from Messrs. Dawson and
Heroux. All their tricks were cleverly
performed axd not a single one in the
audience was heard to hint that be had
tbe remotest idea of how the wonder
ful feats were accomplished.
Tbe two "Bills" Crossen and Frank,
certainly merited the title of the
"Warmest Babies in Coon Town."
Their actions and funny cracks would
provoke laughter at a funeral, and
their mock tragedy wnicn tney per
formed as an encore was decidedly the
funniest thing ever seen on a Dalles
stage. These young men bid fair to
be the leaders in home dramatics in the
near future.
Hampshire and Clarke, The Dalles
favorites, next gave their original
sketch "Life in Alabama." Their step
dancing was unequalled while a more
graceful couple could not be found to
perform in the cake walk.
The concluding number was tbe
grand cake walk, led by Hazel Waud
and Lela Kelsay and in which all tbe
members of the troope took part.
After they lined up for &, grand con
cluding medley the cake was awarded
to Hazel Waud and Lela Kelsay as
they received the greatest applause.
Tbe performance throughout was very
satisfactory and passed off without a
blunder. Great credit is due to Messrs.
Hampshire and Clarke who did so
much towards training the different
ones as well as to each and every in
dividual for the respective parts they
performed. .
Before the conclusion of the per
formance, N. J. Sinnott announced
that tbe minstrels would be repeated
this evening. The prices being re
duced to 50 cents, children 25 cents.
A large attendance is looked for again
this evening.
He Fooled the HnrjreonB.
' All doctors told Renic Hamilton, of
West Jefferso, O., after suffering 18
months from Rectal Fistula, he would
die unless a costly operation was per
formed, but he cured himself with five
boxes of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, the
surest Pile cure on Earth, and the best
Salve in the world. 25 cents a box.

Samuel L. Bailey was accidentally
killed at Trout Creek, Crook county
near Antelope, Thursday morning.
He and two other men were riding on
a load of hay, when the wagon ran
into a washout, upsetting the hay rack
and throwing Bailey into a 15 foot
ditch with the rack squarely across
his back killing him instantly.
Bailey camo here from . Knoxville
Tenn., about a year ago, and at tbe
time of his death was employed on the
Phil Brogan ranch. He claimed
to have been a practicing attorney at
Knoxville, and papers found on his
person indicate that he was at one
time alderman of that city. He was
well liked by all who knew him, and
bore a splendid reputation. He said
be was a member of tbe Masonic or

will be buried with Masonic honors
by tbe local lodge. He was about 32
years of age.

made, and that too, by a lady in
this country. "Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
sbe withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent, for three
months she coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered
a way to recovery, by purchasing of
us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discov
ery for Consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night; and with two bottles,
has been absolutely cured, her name is
Mrs. Luther Lut.z.' Thus writes W.
C. Bamnick &, Co., of Shelby, N. C

Caught In the Roof of the Columbia Hotel
The Firemen Hake a Hard Fight of
Over One Hour to Overcome
the Blaze.
At about 5:15 yesterday afternoon
the people of The Dalles were aroused
by the shrill whistling of the O. R. &
N. engine No. 118, and in another in
stant the ominous sound of the bell
told them that a fire had broken out.
A glance in the direction of Front
street was sufficient to explain all, as
the volume of dark smoke that was
raising from the roof of the Columbia
hotel left none in doubt as to the exact
location of the trouble. In a remark
ably short time a hose was attached to
the plug connecting with the shops,
while about the same time the Colum
bia hose company were playing
a stream on the fire. The other
hose companies also arrived in
good time and in less than ten minutes
seven etreams were playing on the
buildinp. The fire was burning close
to the rafters and being difficult to
get at it was thirty minutes before the
flames were considered under control,
and even then as there was a strong up
stream wind it looked doubtful to
many whether or not tbey could stop
its further progress.
Never was better work done by fire
men in Tbe Dalles and if they had not
checked the flames as rapidly as they
did, a great portion of the town would
have been in ashes in an Incredibly
short space of time. The entire block
in which tbe Columbia Hotel is situ
ated, outside of the Baldwio Saloon,
are wooden fire traps and if the fire
got any start, with the gale that was
blowing the surrounding blocks could
not have been saved.
At the time that the new water sys
tem was put in many faults were found
but since it was demonstrated plainly
last evening that' a destructive fire
could not have been averted if the old
system had to be depended upon, every
one now declares that the. new one has
already payed for itself.
After the flames were considered
under control it proved a tedious job
to put them out entirely and from the
time the alarm was sounded until the
last stream was turned off it was over
one hour and a hall.
Th'e damage 'to the building and
furniture was caused more by tbe tor
rents of water rather than the flames.
The damage is roughly estimated at
between three and four ' thousand
dollars, there being no insurance as
the policy was allowed to ran out
some time ago.
The flames are supposed to have been
ignited in tbe roof by a spark and
quickly burning through caught in
the inside of the building and spread
rapidly makiug it so difficult to
overcome.
