found no difficulty in making himself at
home from the very moment he got off at
the depot

tia was "a scrnb western town of the cow
boy order. He was, therefore, very much
pleased to find it an ideal city, character
istic for its enterprise and progress, and
now he is mighty glad that he was given
the place. He states that he is fix
ing up the building in excellent shape

ADJUSTMENTS.

Without any doubt the newest ant
most interesting stage character of the
present day is that of the "Swede'' now
being shown to the public through medi-
ums in the plays of "Ole Olson aud "Yon
Yonson." Unlike all other distinctive
foreign characters they are as quiet as the
others are noisy. "Yon Yons0n," shortly
after being produced in Wichita, was put
on in New York and success was immedi-
ately won. There are many in Wichita
who appreciate good performance in any
line bat who were prevented from seeing
lyon Yonson" Tomorrow night a play
on the same order as lyon Yonson" and
introducing the Swedish character Ole
Olson, will be at the Crawford Grand.
The dialect is more difficult TO represent
as heard than any other aud requires con
slant study on the part Of the person tax
ing the Swedish character. They also
carry quartette Of Swedish singers.
Reserved seats may be obtained AZ
RIGHTS drug store or at the box Office at
the theater.

The Interstate" and Capt. Donovan's
scow are lying at anchor at the Union
street docks. They both brought up
many cords of wood. The beach is
NEARLY covered with the winters wood,
and we are now prepared for long siege
of cold weather.
The "dove dinner is the craze of the
hour, and every hostess gives one. The
table is dressed in dove gray and white,
and ornamented with wings. The SOU
svenirs are doves heads. which means
peace, and seem very appropriate as
models for society folk, who are never at
peace with themselves or the world,
says the gossippy old Baltimore News.

where do They Pay Taxes.

A traveller asks the question: "Did
you ever hear tell of Pullman Sleeping
car agent paying cent of taxes in the
state Of Oregon?'
Never heard of it. But have heard
that they claim millions of exemption
in Illinois upon property assessed in
other states.
The impositions of the Pullman COM
pany upon the travelling public have
long escaped proper ventilation.
eff ever there was an imposition on
the travelling public the Pullman sleep
ing car outrage is the chief. I had oc-
casion,'' says a traveller in the Telegram,
"to go from Portland to Eastern Oregon
recently, and found it most convenient
to take the day train. Owing to the
crowded condition of the day coaches,
was compelled to pay in addition to the
outrageous rate of cents per mile rail-
road fare $1.25 to sit in Pullman to
Pendleton. Now, think of it-$2 to $3.50
is demanded for berth for one night
when our princely host Leland, of the
palatial Portland, will furnish you with
a large, handsomely furnished room for
$1.50. I say it is high time the public
rise as one man and down this gigantic
octopus. All other business has COM
petition, and supply and demand regu-
late prices. Not SO with this gigantic
monopoly. One dollar and fifty cents
for lower berths and 81 for uppers, is
my motto.''
1t is quite time the subject was agi-
tated, and THE CHRONICLE suggests that
this be one of the very first measures TO
come before the Oregon assembly, at
Salem next January.
